339 Truth
Zheng Xu was at the office of Yin Lizabeth City and met with Minister Zhang of the marketing department.
It's not New York City, but it's not far away... The marketing department has an office and a small warehouse here, and there is also a place to place people occasionally.
In particular, Yin Lizabeth City has a small population, and it is a little more comfortable to live in than New York.
The relationship between here and New York is a bit like the relationship between Beijing and Fangshan.
Minister Zhang was followed by a middle-aged man who was not tall, and when he saw Zheng Xu for the first time, he bowed to Zheng Xu.
Seeing his style, Zheng Xu knew who he was.
"Big brother... This is Kosuke Kojima, his grandfather used to work with my grandfather, and then their family came to the United States to develop, and most of the things in the past few days were helped by Kosuke Kojima's people. ”
Nosaka Qingqing followed behind Zheng Xu and solemnly introduced this person to Zheng Xu.
"Hmm... Mr. Kosuke worked hard. ”
"Hi... It's an honor to help Mr. Zheng and Master Nosaka. ”
Zheng Xu shook hands with Kosuke Kojima, turned his head to look at Minister Zhang and said, "What the hell is going on, third brother?" ”
Minister Zhang and Nosaka Qingqing glanced at each other, and did not rush to answer Zheng Xu's question, but took out a large thick book of information and handed it to Zheng Xu: "Boss... You better see for yourself, it's all here. ”
Taking a deep breath, before coming, Zheng Xu felt very bad.
What can be so busy that you can't even make a phone call?
It's not that he didn't worry that the third brother would have a problem before, but as long as someone is found here, I believe the problem shouldn't be big.
But now Minister Zhang's style...
Let Zheng Xu's heart sink slowly.
Raising his eyes and sweeping, Zheng Xu took the information, walked to the sofa, sat down and checked it slowly.
As this information was slowly opened, Zheng Xu looked at it very carefully, page by page.
This is a very ordinary transcript of conversations, in which the notes are very messy, some are copied, and some are simply and rudely translated from the original text.
There are also a lot of photos interspersed.
Zheng Xu's breathing gradually became a little heavy, and he took out the cigarette case casually, wanting to touch the lighter, only to remember that before the lighter came on the plane, he was not allowed to bring...
"Card~" There was a soft sound, and a silver lighter was handed to Zheng Xu.
Glancing at Minister Zhang, who was holding a lighter, Zheng Xu lit a cigarette and whispered thank you.
The whole room was very quiet, and the remaining three people stood quietly, watching Zheng Xu slowly read the information.
...
Nosaka Qingqing gave Minister Zhang a look, and he felt a little hairy in his heart at this moment.
I thought that Zheng Xu would be angry, or have some other emotions, but now, watching Zheng Xu'an quietly reading the information, his expression has no ups and downs, he is really a little panicked.
Minister Zhang didn't care about Nosaka Qingqing...
He was also a little panicked, not that he had to call Zheng Xu over, but that there were some things, it was really hard to say on the phone, and he couldn't say it clearly.
Like now...
Zheng Xu's third brother's matter, from Zheng Xu's phone call to explain the matter, to finding him, although the process was a bit tortuous, but in the end it was found.
Man is found...
But this man... It's already cold.
At that time, Minister Zhang was so frightened that he was completely different from the consequences he thought!
What kind of thing did you commit that would leave no one behind?
How long has it been?
What happened in between?
Everything Minister Zhang couldn't find out for a while.
He has a relationship here, but their relationship is more biased towards the film and television industry and other offline film and television-related industries.
Even if I knew some gang people, none of them were from New York, and they were too far away from here to find out what was going on here.
.............
Turning to the last page, the whole book was carefully read by Zheng Xu, the cigarette in his hand had already burned out, and he only took a puff of cigarette, dragging a long cigarette ash.
"Where's the fire?"
As soon as Zheng Xu spoke... Minister Zhang's hoarse voice startled him, and he hurriedly walked to his side, took out a lighter and continued to light a cigarette for Zheng Xu.
Minister Zhang looked at Zheng Xu carefully, although he couldn't see anything on his face, Zheng Xu's slightly trembling hand was already very revealing, this kind of Zheng Xu was the first time Minister Zhang had seen it.
Taking a deep puff of cigarette and forcibly calming himself down, Zheng Xu lowered his head and asked in a deep voice, "Where is the third brother now?" ”
"In the hospital..."
"Take me now!"
Without waiting for Minister Zhang to finish speaking, Zheng Xu got up and prepared to go out.
As soon as Meng stood up, Zheng Xu stumbled and almost didn't stand firm.
"Don't help me, call a taxi!"
Sweeping away Minister Zhang's hand that stretched out to support him, Zheng Xu commanded.
The remaining three glanced at each other and kept up with Zheng Xu's footsteps.
Kosuke Kojima quickly took out his phone and began to call a taxi.
................
Along the way, unintentionally admiring the scenery outside the car window, Zheng Xu looked at the pedestrians on the road in this small town.
Although they are all ordinary people, now... Every pedestrian outside this window made him feel bad.
Closing his eyes, taking a deep breath, leaning his head back, Zheng Xu forced himself to calm down over and over again.
After about ten minutes of walking, the car finally stopped at the entrance of a small hospital.
Minister Zhang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got out of the car first, and after helping Zheng Xu open the car door, he stretched out his hand to help Zheng Xu, seeing that Zheng Xu was back to normal, his outstretched hand hesitated for a moment, and then retracted.
"Boss... This way. ”
"Let's go!"
A person in charge of the hospital was already standing at the door waiting for Zheng Xu and his party.
...
Through the long corridors...
There are still some differences between foreign hospitals and domestic ones.
Especially in this kind of small private hospitals, many of them specialize in certain types of classified diseases, the fees are expensive, and you have to make an appointment, so in the whole hospital, you will never see the feeling of overcrowding in domestic hospitals.
Zheng Xu felt the strongest.
Because it is located in Zhongzhou City, the name of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zheng University is still very popular, at least in Asia.
It was once known as the first bed in Asia.
In the usual hospital, even in the corridor, there are extra beds, and a quiet hospital like this...
In China, there is only that kind of fake specialty of a certain field system that will be so quiet.
"Stomp, stomp..."
With the sound of hurried footsteps, several people were very quiet, Zheng Xu didn't want to speak, and stared at the person in charge of the hospital who led the way in front of him expressionlessly.
After turning a corridor and taking the elevator to the ground, Zheng Xu finally stopped in front of a large iron door with two large iron doors.
Look at the line of English [mortuary] on the blue sign on the iron door.
The word... Even Zheng Xu, who is very bad at English, also got to know ----- morgue.
That is, the morgue!
The iron door opened, Zheng Xu tightened his hands, watched the person in charge take the key, found an iron cabinet, and beckoned Minister Zhang next to him to help draw the iron cabinet together.
Zheng Xu stood still and didn't move, just staring at their movements quietly.
Since stepping into this room, Zheng Xu pursed his lips, his right hand trembled slightly, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but... This kind of place should not be allowed.
"Wow... Airplanes. ”
"Whew...."
As the iron cabinet was pulled out, the small iron door that didn't look big on the outside was extremely deep inside, about two meters deep, and there was a sound of the zipper being opened, Minister Zhang lowered his head, walked to Zheng Xu's side and said, "Boss..."
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Xu slowly walked to the iron cabinet that had been opened, and there was a thin layer of frost on the blue body bag...
This proves that this thing has been here for a short time...
Since the zipper had been opened, Zheng Xu saw the man exposed in the body bag at a glance.
The beard is unshaven, the skin has been frozen for a long time, the skin has been white, the skin has lost its vitality, it is slightly loose, and there is even some oil oozing out of the surface, plus a slight layer of frost, as the cabinet is opened, it slowly condenses into small water droplets.
Standing on the right side of the cabinet, Zheng Xu looked at this person carefully.
Stretching out his right hand, he expanded the body bag outward, Zheng Xu was not too dirty, and took a closer look at the body of the man in the body bag, especially at the collarbone of his neck, a small scar was vividly visible.
"This is when I was a kid... When my third brother hugged me, I scratched him..."
A bit like talking to himself, Zheng Xu gently touched this small scar, which was very familiar, it was what he remembered.
It wasn't until this moment that Zheng Xu finally believed that his third brother was gone!
He couldn't tell what mood he was in now, the moment he saw the person in the body bag, that is, at first sight, Zheng Xu was already very sure that this was his third brother.
But he still didn't give up confirming the details.
Right now... All the details can match the number.
His third brother is gone!
...
How many years have it been since the third brother got married and went abroad, because of the previous contradictions, after deleting the contact information, Zheng Xu has never contacted him, the third brother, again.
When I was a child, I had a good time, and when I grew up, everyone had their own ambitions...
Except for slightly despising this third brother like a banana man, Zheng Xu had no other thoughts.
But now, I can't imagine seeing the third brother again, in this way, one of the two is standing, the other is lying, one is hot and the other is cold.
...
"The information says that my third brother drowned? Is there a swimming pool in the detention center? ”
Zheng Xu's eyes stared at the body bag, and he asked unconsciously.
"No... There is not even a pool, only a pit. ”
Minister Zhang was about to memorize that information, and when he heard Zheng Xu ask like this, he hurriedly replied without thinking about it.
"Hmm..."
Zheng Xu pulled the third brother's face and looked at it carefully, even if he was dead... A remnant of the anguished anguish on his face could still be seen.
This painful expression of facial convulsions, with the death of the human body, the muscles become stiff and difficult to eliminate, and most of the way to deal with it ... It's all makeup.
But now... The corpse had not been disposed of, and it remained as true as it was before death.
pinched the zipper lock and slowly closed the zipper, and when only his face was still exposed, Zheng Xu's movements on his hand paused, and he said softly: "Third brother... My dad showed me the letter you sent, and I wanted to come later so that you could have a long memory inside... I'm late, I'll take you home in a few days, don't worry... I will find it, child, and what you have suffered will not be in vain. ”
After all... Zipping up, Zheng Xu glanced at the person in charge of the hospital who had been standing next to him without speaking, nodded to him, and personally pushed the cabinet to reset.
............
It's a big world...
Big to... Even if Zheng Xu is so famous now, there are people who don't know him.
But sometimes it's also small.
As small as...
The jokes I heard from other people's mouths were actually related to myself.
Zheng Xu never thought that the joke told by George Miller was the hero of the story of an audit brother shooting a police video conflict, that is, the audit brother, who was actually his third brother.
New York is a metropolis, and the ranking of the entire city is among the best in the world, and the metropolis, relatively, has high prices.
It's not easy to live in New York!
And the third brother's daughter-in-law, that is, Zheng Xu's third sister-in-law, is more fond of vanity, and since the third brother got married, he listens more to his daughter-in-law, and whatever she wants, it's up to her.
Even if she came to live in the United States, the third sister-in-law has always instilled in the third brother the concept that foreign countries are better than domestic ones.
The two of them usually look for the family to have some living expenses, but after all, they are both married and have to have a job themselves, but the money earned from ordinary jobs can't afford the kind of living expenses that the third sister-in-law wants to have here.
The third brother who has been extremely smart since he was a child... I thought of taking the path of the audit brother.
He is good at English, has a flexible brain, and can eat two ends in this line of work.
On the left, there are donations from some minority groups, and on the right, you can also blackmail the money of the person being filmed.
Relying on this business, the third brother not only has a little fame in the local area, but also has an increase in income.
Except for the occasional beating, he has never encountered any great danger.
So...
Doing it, the third brother will be bold.
He started out with videos of other departments, and then took aim at the controversial American police.
At last...
It became filming the American Patrol at the gate of George Miller's community, and he was later caught.
The two American cops were almost reprimanded by the congressman because he lost his job.
After the two of them brought the third brother back, looking at his complexion, they knew what path the third brother was taking.
Originally, I wanted to teach the third brother a lesson, beat a few meals, and blackmail some money, and the matter was over.
But... Something strange happened.
When the American police contacted the third brother's daughter-in-law, they couldn't be contacted.
The whole person seems to have disappeared, from the time the third brother was arrested, until today, he has not shown up.
Afterward...
The third brother, who was a little desperate, only remembered to write a letter to his family... The American police did not let him call, for fear that he would talk nonsense on the phone, and it was a transnational call, and it would be difficult to deal with it if something happened.
Even if he is asked to write a letter, he can't write sensitive words, and he has to check and check after writing.
This is why Zheng Xu's father received the letter, obviously the third brother was looking for help from his family, but the letter did not say anything specific about the cause of the incident.
...........
Although the third brother is not in one way or another, but... At the end of the day, his surname is Zheng!
He's in his forties...
is also a member of the Zheng family, and he disappeared for no reason.
Zheng Xu can not care about what he did before, but people can't just die and be finished.
...
Sitting in the car, Zheng Xu took the wet wipes handed by Minister Zhang and pondered while wiping his hands.
The third brother, who is full of affection for this side, the day he left home from Zhongzhou City and came to the United States, did he think about his fate today?
came to the place that he and his daughter-in-law longed for, and finally ended up with such a result.
It's ridiculous!
This is the ideal place on the lips of the third sister-in-law, it is really ideal, the ideal is so ideal that people die!
...
The third brother wants to bring it back, and it's a little troublesome, because he is naturalized, not a green card, and if he wants to bring it back, it takes a few procedures, and if he wants to bring it back completely, it's not realistic, so he can only process it here and bring the ashes back.
Zheng Xu was not only uncomfortable when he really saw the corpse of his third brother for a while, but also worried about where his two children were, what happened to the third sister-in-law, and...
How to explain to my dad when I get home.
Everything has to be a headache.
"My third sister-in-law... Did you find it? ”
"Not yet... In the past few days, it has mainly been a matter of investigating the third brother when he was inside, and with the help of Boss Nosaka Qingqing, I believe it will be soon, after all, she has an Asian face, and she can't hide here for long. ”
"Hmm... The matter is clear, the child is the most important, and I want to take the child back. ”
...
Nosaka Qingqing sat next to Zheng Xu, a little speechless.
Zheng Xu turned his head and just saw his expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Big brother... What about here? ”
Zheng Xu knew what Nosaka Qingqing was referring to here.
The information recorded is very clear, the two American policemen don't know that this is Zheng Xu's third brother, and they think that he is just an ordinary Yanguo immigrant.
But... The most important thing is that they are still in office, and they want to deal with it now, which is a bit troublesome.
"Your side... According to the records on the data, deal with those who did it, except for the two American policemen, all the others, no problem, right? ”
"Yes!"
Nosaka Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, just along the way, Zheng Xu didn't speak, the atmosphere was low and terrible, since Zheng Xu finished reading the complete story of the third brother who had died recorded in the information, he has been silent, Nosaka Qingqing didn't dare to ask more, and now that there is finally an arrangement, he is also relieved.
"Boss!" Minister Zhang, who was sitting in the passenger seat in front, hooked his head and shouted Zheng Xu.
In Zheng Xu's puzzled eyes, he said, "Boss, when are you going to go back?" ”
"Wait until you're done before leaving! I'm going to watch as the few people on the record are all dealt with before leaving! ”
Zheng Xu remembered that it was recorded in that book, after the third brother was arrested, everyone who talked to him said something, what they did to him, who was instructed in the end, and who did it, there are detailed records!
These people are not as tricky and easy to deal with as those two American policemen, Zheng Xu wants to wait for them to be dealt with in person before leaving.
"Boss... You came here this time, it was a passenger plane, we must be targeted because of you now, I think, since you have seen the third brother, let's hurry up and complete the formalities, you go first, we will deal with it slowly here, the goal is also smaller, or... The risk is too great. ”
Minister Zhang was a little embarrassed.
Like Zheng Xu, who came by plane openly and came to a little-known place like Yin Lizabeth City, there must be people in the United States who have been staring at him since he got off the plane.
It's not embarrassing for him, but monitoring, this is a fixed procedure, and it doesn't matter what Zheng Xu did.
