Chapter 340: Three Passwords
"Explain it beforehand."
When the train arrived at Vinston Station, Wren followed Weller into a luxury car he had rented with the last of his money and headed to Dodd's hometown of Dani.
On the way, he checked the news a little and basically confirmed that what Weller said was true, but there was another thing he was not sure about.
That's his acting skills......
Wren felt the need to say hello to Weller in advance, "My acting skills are really bad, don't blame me when the time comes." β
Maybe the money is secured, or it may be that Wren is his own, Weller is no longer that bitter haha, he smiled and said to Wren: "It's okay, Dodd told me that he used to have a bad relationship with his neighbors, so he rarely spoke, if you encounter something unsure, just don't say anything, I will help you." I've been mayor for almost 10 years, and I'm good at dealing with people. β
Wren thought about it, if he didn't have to say too much, he probably would, should, maybe, barely be able to act well....... Right?
So he nodded confidently, "That's no problem, but then again, it turns out that you have been the mayor for more than ten years, and you are greedy for hundreds of thousands, and the gap between you and your friend who has only been a doorman for a few years is a bit big." β
Weller's smile suddenly disappeared again.
The car drove for more than half an hour, and finally arrived in Dani Town, a river valley with a small scale and an estimated population not as good as Wren's hometown.
The car stopped at the door of Dodd's past house, the two got out of the car, Wren looked at the house in front of him, it seemed that no one took care of this house during the time Dodd left, it was full of old feeling, the windows on the second floor were still hanging crookedly in the air, and it was estimated that no one would dare to walk from below.
Hearing the sound of the car, people from the surrounding houses came out one after another, looking at the two people who got out of the car, and some people stared at the bearded Wren's face for a while, but they didn't seem to recognize it.
Wren glanced at Weller beside him, and the other party whispered to him: "Don't worry about them, don't look at them, just use the key I just gave you to open the door." β
When Wren heard this, he walked towards his "own house" without squinting.
Weller was behind, turned and waved his hand at the driver in the car, telling him to leave, and then followed Wren, walking behind like a follower.
Wren walked to the door, took out the key, and opened the door to the house.
At this time, the neighbor on the right finally realized who this slightly familiar person was, and he shouted uncertainly: 'Dodd? β
Wren followed the voice and looked over, and Weller, who followed him, hurriedly whispered to remind him of what to say:
"Oh, it's Terr, yes, it's me. I'll take a look at the situation at home first, and then talk about it when I have time. β
Wren finished speaking, and entered the house at the secret urging of Weller.
As the door closed, the onlookers gathered together, chattering.
"Was that Dodd just now?"
"Seems like so."
"He seems to have made a fortune, and the car he just sat in is not a bargain at first glance."
"I think I heard that he was an official outside."
"I guess it's true, you didn't see his expression when I just talked to him, he looked down on people, he didn't smile, and his eyes were going to look to the sky."
"What do you think he came back for?"
"What else can you do, come back as an official to show off."
"What rubbish!"
In the house, Wren and Weller were fanning the dust and coughing and said, "This house is broken like this, we are going to live here today?" β
Weller covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and rubbed his gray eyes with the other hand, and the more he rubbed it, the more uncomfortable it became: "Yes...... It's nice to have a place to live, I don't have a penny now, so you'll have to get the code from Dodd's neighbors. Your acting skills just now were so bad that I was afraid that you would be exposed, but fortunately I pushed you in. You're an official in their eyes now, and you have to be arrogant when you're not in contact, and when they talk to you, you're going to have to be kind, you're smiling, but you're going to keep your distance, you know? β
"Ahem! You're embarrassing me. Don't talk about that, just tell me how to get their password. β
Weller also found that he could no longer wipe his eyes with his hands, and both eyes were red, and he could only squint his eyes half-way: "Dodd told me that he set the password to three things related to his neighbors. The first one, the guy who just spoke to you, who had put Dodd in the hospital in the past, and the first password was what he used to punch Dodd. β
"The second one is the person who is on the door, he borrowed a sum of money from Dodd and has not paid it back, you have to ask for the amount of that money, that is the second password."
"The third is Dodd's high school girl, Dodd used to confess to others, but was rejected, and the third password was the gift he gave when he confessed."
Wren looked at Weller, looking if you were kidding me, "Are you sure you want me to ask them these questions?" β
This is coming back to show off, this is coming back to be scary.
Weller still couldn't help wiping his eyes, but he said with tears in his eyes: "No way, think about that 100 million." β
Wren was about to talk to Weller about how to ask these questions, when there was a sudden knock on the door, and he had no choice but to give up, and Weller made a calm gesture to him, and then ran to open the door as a follower.
"Hello, you are Mr. Dodd's neighbor? Is there anything wrong? β
Standing outside the door was the neighbor who lived on the right who had been questioned earlier, that is, the "holder" of the first password, who stood outside the door with a smile on his face: "Yes, I follow ....... Mr. Dodd had known each other for a long time, and saw old acquaintances return to their hometowns, so ......"
"Neighbor No. 1" glanced into the house as he spoke, and his smile suddenly became a little unnatural, for he noticed that Dodd in the room was squinting at him, his cheeks crumbling as if he were gritting his teeth.
He chuckled in his heart, and said that it was not good, and this bastard seemed to hold a grudge.
At this time, he noticed the situation in the house, and thought that Dodd had brought someone with him this time, so he hurriedly said with a brighter smile: "Is Mr. Dodd going to live here when he comes back this time?" I see that this house has not been cleaned for a long time, if you don't mind, you can stay in my house. β
Weller, who was still red-eyed, immediately wanted to agree, but thinking that he was now a follower, he looked back at Wren and quietly gestured with his hand.
But Wren is now covered in dust, his throat is itchy, and his eyes are also acting, so he can't bear to move, and his almost squinting eyes don't notice Weller's gesture.
Thinking of what Weller had told him to be kind, to smile, but to keep his distance, Wren felt like he knew what to do.
He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile that he thought was kindβthe kind neighbor on the other side had weak legs.
"Thank you for your kindness." Wren said with a smile, of course, he didn't forget to "keep his distance": "But I still don't bother you, it's good that we live here, anyway, we can stay for a day or two at most, I'm very busy." β
"Neighbor No. 1" is in turmoil, and would rather live in this kind of dusty and broken house than live in me, what a hatred this has for me!
He stammered, "Then I'll call some people and help you clean up?" β
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to run, but was stopped by Wren from behind: "Wait a minute! β
The neighbor turned around stiffly, "It's still ....... Anything else? β
What Wren thought was that the targets had been sent to the door by themselves, and he really didn't want to stay in this place if he didn't take the opportunity to ask for the password.
So he asked bluntly:
"I don't know if you remember, you beat me up before and put me in the hospital."
Poof!
"Neighbor No. 1" fell to the ground.
