Chapter 36 Diffusion
At noon, the sun was shining.
It wasn't until this time that Lu Ming came out of his room. He had two big dark circles under his eyes, his hair was unkempt, and he seemed to have just woken up. As soon as she walked up to He Wei, He Wei covered her nose with some disgust: "You didn't take a shower or brush your teeth? Didn't wash your face?"
Lu Ming smiled a little embarrassedly: "I slept too late yesterday and just woke up."
"Go pack up, we're waiting for you here."
Lu Ming returned to his room and quickly cleaned up, only to feel a little better.
Lu Ming is not at all interested in the famous delicacies of Blue Lake City, what Blue Lake fish and the like. If he could, he just wanted to get another night's sleep now. Although it was already noon.
Last night, he tossed and turned until three or four o'clock in the morning before falling asleep. It's not that he's not sleepy, it's that he's used to lie in bed and think about problems for a while before going to sleep in the dead of night when no one is disturbing.
Unexpectedly, this thought did not stop the car. He has been thinking about it all the time, analyzing every detail as much as possible, trying to find a breakthrough, and the more he thinks, the more concentrated he becomes, and he has become like this.
After cleaning up, Lu Ming left his room and joined Zhang Dingshan and He Wei, and the three of them left the base and walked towards the famous restaurant located on the outskirts of the city, next to the Blue Lake.
I parked the car and entered the lobby, and before I could ask the waiter, the door of the hotel was pushed open again. Lu Ming turned around and unexpectedly saw that Feng Guozhu had also come here.
At this moment, he was next to a man with gold-rimmed glasses who seemed to be very shrewd and capable, and the two walked in as they talked. The two were accompanied by a number of other people.
Seeing Lu Ming and the others, Feng Guozhu said to the people around him, and greeted him with enthusiasm.
"Team Zhang, Team He, Team Lu, hello."
"Hello Feng Ju. You're coming here to eat too?"
"Yes, entertain the old classmates."
"Okay, Feng Ju is at his own convenience."
After a simple hello, Feng Guozhu left and went to his box with the people around him. He Wei chatted with the waiter for a few words, and also found a private room and sat down.
Lu Ming still looked absent-minded. He Wei handed over the menu, but Lu Ming didn't accept it, but said, "I'll do whatever I want, I can eat anything."
His mind was clearly not on the meal.
He Wei was a little dissatisfied: "Hey, just concentrate on eating."
After ordering a few dishes and serving them, Lu Ming tasted them, and the taste was really good.
Looking at the method, this fish seems to have been fried first, and then poured with a special sauce, which is also mixed with red chili peppers, which tastes spicy and refreshing, which is quite good. Coupled with some other fish made by braised and steamed methods, as well as some side dishes, Lu Ming's appetite was finally aroused, and he stopped thinking about eucalyptus for the time being, and concentrated on eating.
But before he could eat, there was a knock at the door, and after that, Feng Guozhu pushed the door and walked in.
"Feng Ju is here, sit."
Feng Guozhu didn't have anything to do, he just happened to meet him, and he came over to say hello. chatted and chatted, and talked about Feng Guozhu's classmate.
"Hey, it's all trouble."
Feng Guozhu sighed: "You said that some people are not sick in the brain, and they even dare to smash the load-bearing wall, and they have smashed three places. Well, now, the whole building is in danger. There are so many houses in this building, why isn't the house worth tens of millions? But this family smashed the load-bearing wall, and the family was very poor, and they definitely couldn't afford to pay for it. Now other families are making trouble, and I don't know how things will end. This old classmate of mine happens to be a lawyer, and he is good at this kind of eucalyptus, so I specially invited him to do legal aid, let's take it one step at a time."
Lu Ming smiled, "Feng Ju is very concerned about this matter."
Feng Guozhu pursed his lips: "Can you not be careful? It's really a mess, and in the end, it's not our security bureau's business. Besides, Xiao Zeng's family is also in that building, and now that Xiao Zeng is gone, Old Man Zeng is not in good health, and he is still counting on selling the house to see a doctor...... Hey, Xiao Zeng is my subordinate, and I have to take care of his affairs."
"Xiao Zeng?"
"Zeng Jian." Feng Guozhu looked around and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Wang Quanyu's victim, that security officer."
Lu Ming immediately remembered.
"Zeng Jian...... What happened to his father?"
Speaking of Zeng Jian, Feng Guozhu immediately opened the conversation, maybe because he was more depressed recently, and there was no one to talk to, at this moment, he met three people from the second team of the operation, and said that there was no need to worry about these things, so he just took advantage of the meal to confide: "Old man Zeng's life is hard...... I went to the nursing home yesterday to see him, and the doctor said......"
After telling the story, Feng Guozhu sighed again: "Xiao Zeng is also unlucky, there was a eucalyptus a few days ago, and he was also involved several years ago. If Xiao Zeng was still alive, punished, and expelled, I don't know what it would be like to be sad. Fortunately, the superiors still have a little human touch, and for the sake of Xiao Zeng's death, they will not be held accountable......
Feng Guozhu told in detail what he knew about Zeng Jian, and the three people who listened to it sighed again and again.
But there is nothing to do but sigh.
Feng Guozhu finally said goodbye and left, and the three of them continued to eat while chatting casually. saw that Lu Ming's expression gradually became solemn, and he sat there thoughtfully. He Wei raised her eyebrows, and a little smile appeared on her face.
After waiting for a moment, Lu Ming sighed.
"What, what do you remember?"
He Wei smiled: "I knew that it would definitely be useful to come out to eat, take a look, take a look, remember, right?"
Lu Ming shook his head, ignored He Wei's ridicule, and said sullenly, "I'm wondering, is it related to Wang Quan's curse that Zeng Jian's death is so tragic?"
Zhang Dingshan and He Wei's expressions became serious at the same time.
"Cursed?"
"Old man Zeng has newly diagnosed the disease, this is the first."
Lu Ming snapped his fingers and said, "My family's only house has been implicated and has become a dilapidated house, and it is almost impossible to get compensation, this is the second.
Third, it is the disease of the old man Zeng, which has a high probability of inheritance. If Zeng Jian is still alive, ...... now Is it about to get sick? The fourth is the eucalyptus, if Zeng Jian is still alive, it is estimated that he will be expelled now, and if he doesn't get it right, he will go to prison, and he will have to compensate the drunk.
These are all things that happened after Zeng Jian was cursed and died. I wonder if it's possible that the death of the person concerned is not actually the end of the curse. Is it possible that this curse is spreading?"
Zhang Dingshan and He Wei glanced at each other, and their expressions became more and more solemn.
This possibility does exist. The most important thing is that this kind of thing that can be called a major change in life, how unlucky does it have to be to have several things come out together?
This probability is not impossible, but it must be extremely low. And once such a small probability event appears with a more mysterious and mysterious "curse", it is difficult not to wonder if there is a relationship between the two.
Zhang Dingshan nodded: "It's worth verifying."
"According to current information, if the curse has a tendency to spread, it seems to be the first to affect those closest to the deceased. Before Zeng Jian's death, he had parents at home and a fiancée. Now, the family house is in a dilapidated state, my mother died a few years ago, and my father is seriously ill...... How is his fiancée doing?"
After Zeng Jian's death, it is clear that his fiancée can only end her relationship with him and continue to start a new life. But at that time, his fiancée was the third closest person after Zeng Jian's parents.
She wasn't affected?
The three of them hurriedly finished their meal and left the restaurant in a hurry. returned to the base and checked the information, and the three of them immediately found out the current situation of Zeng Jian's fiancée.
Before the inquiry, Lu Ming had a hunch that Zeng Jian's original fiancée's life might not be too good. When her information was really in front of her, Lu Ming found that her life was not only bad, but simply bad.
She is now paralyzed in both legs. The cause of paralysis is an unfortunate fall from a height. Affected by this, her mental state also went wrong, and she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Her husband couldn't stand her paranoia and irritability and had divorced her
。
Now she lives in her parents' home, under the care of her parents. Although her parents have a pension, the pension can only support her follow-up treatment. In order to live, although her parents are old, they also have to separate one person to go out to work, and the other person to stay at home to take care of her.
"Just one person's business cannot be counted as evidence. Let's start an investigation and see if any of the other close friends of the cursed victims have met with bad luck."
This still requires the cooperation of the local security department. Under the call of the second team, Feng Guozhu once again formed a team and began a comprehensive investigation of the current situation of the families and close friends of the confirmed curse victims.
He didn't know what the real reason for the Second Action Team's decision was, and he didn't want to ask.
There are some things that are not accessible to him.
However, he still vaguely felt that the decision made by the three members of the second team of the operation may be related to the matter of Zeng Jian that he mentioned during the meal.
It's a good thing to be able to help the second team - although I don't know exactly what helps.
Feng Guozhu did this very carefully. The next day, a preliminary statistical report was presented in front of Lu Ming.
First of all, the first person is Zhang Lu.
It was precisely because of Zhang Lu that this incident was noticed by Feng Guozhu.
"This Zhang Lu, his close people are also having a bad time."
Lu Ming sighed and said, "Zhang Lu's mother was targeted by a criminal gang that specializes in defrauding the elderly a year ago, and set up a special bureau to defraud the Zhang family of more than two million. In order to save this money, Zhang's mother secretly mortgaged the family house behind Zhang's father's back.
This is the savings of Zhang Lu's parents and the old couple for a lifetime. Now, although the criminal gang has been arrested, the money has long been transferred, and there is a high probability that it will not be recovered.
Now, Zhang Lu's parents can only rent a small house. Zhang's mother blamed herself all day long, and her nerves were already a little abnormal. Zhang's father began to drink heavily, and every time he got drunk, he beat and scolded Zhang's mother, and there was no peace in the family all day long."
This situation made Lu Ming's heart a little heavy.
He Wei interjected, "I remember that this Zhang Lu had a lover at that time? It's called Cheng Yu?"
Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "This Cheng Yu is even more miserable. He has been set up by others and has become addicted to drugs, and he has completely abolished."
"Set up a game?! Drug addiction?"
"Yes. The person who set up the bureau has been arrested, but the drug addiction can't go. A few months ago, this Cheng Yu had just sold his family's house, and his angry mother had a heart attack, and his father cut off relations with him."
"This curse can't really spread, right?"
First there was Zeng Jian, and now there is Zhang Lu, He Wei already believes in this speculation in her heart.
It can't be such a coincidence, right? How can bad luck befall people who have an intimate relationship with the victims of the curse? It is unlucky enough for a normal person to encounter one such thing in his life, how can the cursed victims appear here one after another?
To say that there is no abnormality in this, He Wei does not believe it.
"The second curse victim of the investigation is Wu Biao. However, there is nothing unusual about this Wu Biao's close person."
"That Wu Biao seems to be a bachelor?"
"Not a single. He has a wife and children, but his wife remarried, and according to the investigation, his wife still hates him very much, and his children are the same. This cannot be considered an intimate person. At present, Wu Biao's wife and children are living okay, which can be regarded as the life of ordinary people."
"This Wu Biao, it seems that there are no intimate people, right?"
"Yes, he didn't have any before he died. Some of my friends are also fox friends and dog friends, and they can drink and eat normally, but when they really encounter something, they must run faster than the other."
"The third person to complete the investigation is Zhang Zhipeng. This person has a more withdrawn personality and has no intimate people. The closest to him may be his sister, but the two only belong to the level of greeting each other during the New Year's holidays. His sister is fine, and she is doing well."
"The fourth, Long Shaojun, has a lot of close friends with this person. Parents, sister, brother, wife, two children, a total of seven people.
He ......"
Lu Ming's expression was a little heavy.
Long Shaojun's family was so miserable that Lu Ming felt a little unbearable in his heart.
Long Shaojun originally had an extremely happy family. The husband and wife are harmonious, and the parents and siblings get along well. Other families may have conflicts when it comes to things like parental partiality and inheritance division, but Long Shaojun's family has no such thing at all.
But now, according to the survey, the seven people who were very close to him have all suffered bad luck in the past few years.
No, maybe it's not bad luck, and there are some things that seem to be self-inflicted. But all in all, it was a bad time.
His parents were diagnosed with cancer, his younger brother was addicted to gambling, and now he is nowhere to be found after being chased by debts, and his parents and wives wash their faces with tears all day long. My sister was betrayed by her husband and became insane. Long Shaojun's wife left her children and left for the country, and now her children are just in their teens, but they have dropped out of school early and mingle with street gangsters all day long, their son is now locked up in a juvenile detention center, and their daughter has had two abortions.
