Chapter 339: One of the train anecdotes
Wren noticed that the person sitting across from him had been staring at him.
It had been two days since he left Brica, and he had embarked on his journey to the Desperate Meadows, and was now on a train destined for Winston, after which he would have to travel several places to reach beyond the Desperate Meadows, which had been a long time for Oz to wait for.
As for Brica's case, once it was on the right track, Wren had no reason to care about things that had nothing to do with him, he was not a politician, and he didn't even bother to read the news about the fate of the Speaker of Parliament and the executioner.
On the train, he was looking down at the snake god scales on the back of his hand, which were covered by a band-aid, thinking if there was any other way to block this thing, he used the band-aid because he felt a little strange to wear gloves every day, but now he was still a little uncomfortable, and he always wanted to tear that thing off.
At this time, he noticed that there seemed to be a gaze that kept falling on him.
Wren looked up and saw a bearded man sitting across from him staring at him.
He only reacted when he saw Wren look up.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little distracted, mainly because you look three or four points like a friend of mine, who just left two days ago."
Wren didn't know how to answer this, so he could only wave his hand: "It's okay, mourning." ”
He lowered his head and continued to think about what had happened before, but he felt that the eyes of the other side were still on him.
Although it was understandable that the friend on the other side had died, it was rude to keep staring at a stranger, and it made Wren feel uncomfortable - he wanted to tear the band-aid more and more.
So he raised his head again and asked directly and decisively, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
The other side also realized his impoliteness, apologized again, and then said: "Actually, my friend has a last wish, I want to ...... By the way, you haven't asked the little brother what your name is? ”
Although Wren was vaguely aware that he seemed to be in trouble again, there was no reason for him to give people a face at this time, so he could only say: "Wren." ”
"Brother Wren, introduce myself, my name is Weller, I used to be the mayor of the city of Gunna, and the friend I am talking about, his name is Dodd, and he is the mayor of the town of Komeni, which is subordinate to Gunna....... of the doorman. You see, here's a picture of him. ”
Weller looked down and pulled out a photo from his bag and handed it to Wren.
The photo is a man in his thirties, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't think it looked much like himself, so he could only say that his face was about the same. However, he was a little curious about how these two people became friends, "You have known that friend of yours for a long time?" ”
"No, I only met him for the first time two months ago."
"And how did you meet?"
"It's in prison." The bearded Weller laughed a little embarrassedly: "We both went to prison for taking bribes, he was executed a few days ago, and I was released after just three years of imprisonment." ”
"Oh, no." Wren looked at the man in front of him, "You're the mayor?" ”
"Hmm."
"He's the mayor's doorman?"
"Yes."
"Then why did he get to death and you sentenced him to three years?"
"I took hundreds of thousands of dollars in total, and I behaved well in prison, so my sentence was reduced to three years. In addition to accepting bribes, Dodd also embezzled public funds in various ways and abused power for personal gain, and the total amount involved was nearly 300 million. ”
Wren black question mark face.
"Are you sure you really didn't say anything against the positions of the two of you?"
"Officials are afraid of death, and officials are greedy to death."
Wren felt that he couldn't talk anymore, although he didn't know what the man's last wish was, and he didn't want to get involved in such trouble.
But Weller in front of him seemed to recognize him, and obviously Wren lowered his head and pretended to rest, but he didn't see it, and said to himself: "Dodd told me before his execution that he still has one more wish, which is to go back to his hometown, Dani Town, Vinston, and show off in front of his former neighbors, so that they know that he has mixed up." If he can't show off like this, he won't be willing to die. ”
It's all dead and you still want to show off?
Wren rolled his eyes - there was no way to pretend to rest now.
"Don't his relatives and friends in his hometown know about his imprisonment?"
"I shouldn't know, he went to Komeni Town alone a few years ago to work hard, and the TV reported this incident, mainly about the mayor of Komeni, and didn't mention him."
Hearing this, Wren understood what the other party wanted to do.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Weller to explain his purpose: "Originally, I was going to pretend to be Dodd, but now that I meet you, you look more like him, and you can hide it from his neighbors by putting on a little fake beard, and they haven't seen him for a few years anyway." ”
"Nope."
Wren immediately refused: "I have something very important, I'm afraid I can't spare to do anything else, and my acting skills are worrying, I can't pretend to be your friend, you better go in person or find someone else." No matter how bad it is, there are those kind of makeup artists who are proficient in facial illusions, and you can find them. ”
Weller spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I just came out of prison, all my assets have been confiscated, and I have a little money left, and I can't afford to hire that kind of makeup artist who can do magic." ”
Wren looked Willer up and down again: "You're like this, you don't want to solve the back road quickly, and you have traveled thousands of miles to help your fellow inmates fulfill their wishes?" This ticket is not cheap. ”
Weller looked around, leaned closer, and whispered: "That's right, there is still a hundred million of the amount that Dodd embezzled that has not been recovered, and he told me where the money is hidden, but if you want to get it out, you need a password." The code was divided into three parts, and Dodd had to be disguised in order to get it out of his neighbors. ”
It turned out that he wanted to make a lot of money.
Wren suddenly cast a contemptuous look: "Your reform in prison doesn't seem to be very good." ”
Weller smiled: "You can also see my current situation, and it is similar to a beggar, so my idea is, if you are willing, the two of us can get the money and divide it together, you can just nine and one of me." ”
Seeing that Wren's eyes became more and more contemptuous, he hurriedly added: "Of course, if you don't want to, we can get the money back, and then hand it over, according to the regulations of Guna City, help the police recover the stolen money, you can get a reward of 1%-5%, even if it is only 1%, it is 1 million, or you nine and I have one, and a hundred thousand yuan is enough to solve my urgent need." ”
Wren smiled contemptuously, I am a person who once gave away 100 million yuan and didn't hammer the bed board in the bedroom, and now I am still burdened with the heavy responsibility of saving the world, and I will run to help a corrupt official fulfill his wish for these hundreds of thousands of dollars?
Joke.
"Okay, deal!"
Wren smiled and shook Weller's hand.
It is incumbent upon our generation to recover stolen money for the people.
