Holding a big umbrella and stepping on thick rain boots, Chu Zihan stepped out of the taxi and looked up at the building in front of him.

The logo of the Black Prince Group is so bright even in the rain, it is said that it is made of special materials, and as a large local taxpayer, even the city leaders have to make an appointment a few days in advance to meet the chairman of the Black Prince Group. Such a company is of course arrogant enough, even if the place in front of you is almost to the suburbs, just an industrial factory, those few big-character signs still reveal a nouveau riche aesthetic, standing at the end of the long street can be seen from a distance, like some kind of landmark.

The gate at the entrance of the factory is closed, and the uncle in the security booth is watching a TV placed in the corner. Working here is basically an errand, and everyone who goes in and out has a pass card, and he can pass by swiping it, and only a few times he will leave his golden nest and go out to open the way for those who don't have a card. So he didn't notice anyone coming.

Chu Zihan knocked on the transparent window of the security booth, and the security uncle came back to his senses, opened a small door, and smiled politely when he came out: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Seeing people and talking about people, talking about ghosts, this is the basic skill of dealing with people, especially when it is a beautiful girl who comes to the door. The security uncle knows this very well, and the girls who will come to this kind of factory, except for the secretaries who go to work, he has seen them, and those who are all more sorry, like the high-quality ones in front of him, will not be the people who work here.

"I'm looking for someone." Chu Zihan handed a business card to the security guard.

The security guard glanced at it and was in awe, the business card was Lu Tianming's, platinum texture, with the name and phone number and title engraved with lasers. Locals know Lu Tianming's business card, that thing is like the emperor's holy decree, seeing the card is like seeing people, only when Lu Tianming entrusts someone to do things, will use this thing.

There is also a sticky note on the back of the business card, which is the kind that can be seen everywhere in convenience stores, but on this sticky note, there will be the official seal of the Black Prince Group, as well as the owner's autograph, which is written with the word pass.

With the entrustment certificate of these two people at the same time, it is estimated that it is the first time in so many years, and the security guard can't help but gossip a little when he looks at Chu Zihan, even if it is a top beauty, it is probably impossible to get two big bosses at the same time, right?

But this kind of thing is easy for Chu Zihan, because his father Lu Tianming and the boss of the Black Prince Group are often business partners. She entrusted Lu Tianming to help her ask for a certificate, and the boss of the Black Prince Group would write one for her friend's daughter, and when she talked about the boss of the Black Prince Group at home, Chu Zihan and Chu Yi generally referred to him as the Black Boss, and the Black Boss even gave them birthday gifts.

Lu Tianming never asked Chu Zihan why she wanted to do something, even if it didn't look like what she should do, he always gave her the greatest freedom. He firmly believes that his daughter will inevitably pursue a policy of free development, and she will be a beautiful lady like a pearl in the future, but it is Chu Zhen and Lu Tianming who manage more, and the test score is low and there is less pocket money, and she has to clean her teeth if she eats too much sugar.

"Can I go in?" Chu Zihan took back the business card, she never said that she was Lu Tianming's daughter when she was outside, and when she had to use this business card, she would simply show it and take it back.

"Yes, of course!" The security guard nodded like pounded garlic, and even changed his name, "Who do you want to find?" ”

"Chu Tianjiao." Chu Zihan said.

The security guard's face suddenly turned ugly, "You ...... What is the relationship with him? ”

"You don't need to ask, I know that he has been missing for a month, according to the law, his death can basically be determined, I just want to go to the place where he stayed to pay his condolences, do you understand? I know he lives here. Chu Zihan opened his shoulder bag and took out a bundle of packaged dendrobium orchids from it.

Chu Zihan took out this kind of thing and basically clarified the relationship between her and Chu Tianjiao, but the security guard didn't understand flowers, otherwise he would know that flowers are not only given to women, and now in this era, under the packaging of merchants, any flower has a name.

For example, dendrobium orchid, on Father's Day, this thing will soar in price like a rose on Valentine's Day, it symbolizes father's love like a mountain, and is called a father's flower. Men also have times when they are vulnerable and in need of care, and a bouquet of dendrobium orchids may make them feel better when they are tired, or ...... It is used to commemorate someone's eternal rest.

"I thought you didn't know, a good person, say no, it's gone." The security guard sighed and opened the gate, "I'll take you there, it's work time, there are few idlers in the factory, and there won't be anyone to patronize it on a rainy day." ”

"You seem to know him well?" Chu Zihan heard it.

"Cooked, of course cooked, our relationship is not bad, often drink a little wine together or something, he loves to marinate the large intestine, I like spicy chicken wings, we often order a plate to eat, he always says that I take advantage of him. Now that I think about it, it was more than a month ago, and I actually miss it now. ”

The security guard led Chu Zihan into the factory, the gray workshops stood side by side, the heavy iron doors were locked, and the sound of machine tools working came from inside, and this place was earning countless profits for the Black Prince Group every minute.

Chu Zihan was a little surprised, she always felt that her father should be a very picky person, as a driver, there is so much salary, it is good to meet her daily expenses, she can't save much money, anyway, her mother never expected him to really give much child support. At first, he was able to squeeze out the words three melons to support the mother and daughter, but then he simply didn't have it, but he didn't expect him to drink and eat spicy food with his colleagues here.

The disgust in my heart, which had faded a little because he died, seemed to run out quietly again at this moment. It's really a miraculous thing for people to die, no wonder people say that death is a hundred, but the things before and after the body end up in a clear and quiet, and the troubles of life are not taken away at all.

Chu Tianjiao's place was on the second basement floor of a factory, the stairs and corridors were dark and slender, the air was filled with the hum of air conditioning compressors, and the corners were piled with waste mechanical parts.

Chu Zihan didn't expect her father to live in this kind of place, the information given to her by the detective was specially screened by Chu Tianjiao, and the text only mentioned that the residence was a basement, and the pictures were basically weapons hidden in the basement.

The security uncle and her one after another, the footsteps of the two people came and went, she suddenly thought about whether her father had been like this all these years, every night under the pretext of a business trip to maintain the peace of the city, he would carry his beloved braised intestine, accompanied by his empty footsteps, humming an unknown little tune in his nose.

After so many years of living like that, it should be very lonely, right? But he always smiles every time he appears in front of him, maybe he is not really that optimist, but he is so happy because he sees himself.

At this moment, Chu Zihan finally understood his stupidity, he was not really stupid, he was just willing to sell stupidity to himself. But he is no longer there, there is always something in the matter, and only when he misses it will he suddenly realize.

"This place was originally an air-conditioning room and a temporary warehouse, and Lao Chu said that he had no house to live in on the day he came to work, so the boss asked me to arrange a temporary room for him to live in the basement. I thought I would stay for ten days and half a month at most, but I didn't expect to live for a few years. "The security guard is still chattering.

"Not even a window." Chu Zihan looked at the head and tail of the aisle.

"Isn't it, anyone who stays will feel aggrieved, and if you live too much, you feel that your spirit is in trouble. I persuaded him that it was better to find a rental house nearby to live in, anyway, this place is outside the fourth ring road, and it is a few hundred yuan a month at most. But he said that he had to save some money, even if he was divorced, on the day his daughter got married in the future, his father would always have to give a bride price. The security guard said, "You must love his daughter, right?" ”

"Well, it's love." Chu Zihan said softly, it turns out that even others can understand this kind of thing, but it took so much time for him.

The security guard stopped in front of the room at the end of the hallway and pulled out a bunch of keys. In Chinese culture, there is a saying that the room at the end of the long corridor is uninhabitable, it is a place where filthy gas gathers, but there is a shoe rack at the door here, it seems that Chu Tianjiao still has a little artistic conception here, and wants to improve the residence more comfortably.

"Why can't you open it?" The security guard tossed for a long time, and the keyhole was about to be punctured, but the door still didn't move.

"Let me do it." Chu Zihan stepped forward to take the key, she knew that this was the mechanism left by her father and it was still in effect. In that document, it was said that this door can only be opened in a specific way, and brute force cracking will cause the glue inside to destroy the door lock.

She did what she wrote, and every time she rotated clockwise to the point where she could not advance, she reversed a quarter of a turn, and reciprocated three times, and the door lock clicked softly, and sure enough, it opened, and the air in the door rushed in, but it was fresher than the basement passage outside.

The space inside is not large, similar to a single bedroom for a person, a table, a cabinet, a table and a chair, and nothing else, simply like the ancient Chinese performance called ventriloquism, just to live in a corner of the room to pull a few steel wires, used to dry clothes, hanging two suits and some simple black and white pants, this should be the way to take without a wardrobe.

Chu Zihan didn't rush in, she looked at the key in her hand and suddenly realized something. The information her father gave her even included how to open the door, could it be that he had foreseen his own death at that time, and knew that his daughter would eventually come here, so that he had made everything he had put in this hut clear?

"What's wrong with you?" The security guard looked at Chu Zihan as if his face was a little wrong, thinking that this fair-skinned little girl was a little uncomfortable with the air here.

"Nothing...... Can I be here by myself for a while? Chu Zihan smiled hard, showing a little tiredness, with her physical fitness, it shouldn't be like this, maybe it's not her body that is tired, but her heart.

The security uncle looked at Chu Zihan's sad smile, and suddenly patted his head and realized in his heart, this Nima must be the amorous debt owed by Lao Chu outside! After the divorce, he harmed the little girl, and patted his chest and said that I will definitely marry you and raise you for a lifetime, but the world evaporated in a few days, and the girl worked hard to find his traces, in order to enter the park, he even did not hesitate to use his beauty to devote himself to the two top local heroes, just to be able to come to the place where he lived to find proof of love for each other......

What a tragic life experience, the security uncle couldn't help crying, his heart was infinitely sour, and he wanted to scold Lao Chu for not being a man for a while, and he would still be romantic until he died, thinking that he was really missing and dead, forget it. So he could only turn this sadness into encouragement, and looking at Chu Zihan's eyes was like a small universe containing a burning universe.

"People, there will be death, sooner or later, don't be too sad, nothing is more important than living well at the moment." The security uncle was moved, "Then I'll go back to stand guard first, look at yours, remember to say it when you leave." ”

The door was closed, the turbid air in the basement passage was completely cut off, the wind no longer flowed, and the sound of the compressor could not be heard.

Chu Zihan walked around the room, gently stroking the suit hanging on the steel rope, the color and texture are so familiar, Dad always wears a suit when he drives a Maybach, this may be one of his few insistences. But sleeping in this room is the driver Chu Tianjiao, that Chu Tianjiao Chu Zihan is already very familiar, and she is not looking for him.

She removed the mattress, and underneath it was a tightly knit secret door welded with iron sheets and frames, and a heavy padlock. Chu Zihan didn't have a key, but it wasn't a problem, she had already prepared before she came, there were hydraulic tongs in her bag, and it didn't take too much effort to clip the lock.

The weight of this secret door was quite amazing, and when Chu Zihan turned it over, it kept making a squeak of steel rubbing, like starting an old machine. It's no wonder that Chu Tianjiao chose to live in the innermost room, if this kind of thing is placed in an ordinary house, it is so noisy every day, either the neighbors want to complain, or the police come to the door.

Underneath the secret door was a steel pipe, and Chu Zihan slid down the steel pipe, and she felt that she had entered a large space, which seemed to be much larger than what she saw in the photo.

The light of the flashlight shone to the side, and those familiar weapon racks suddenly appeared in front of Chu Zihan's eyes, together with the lighting equipment next to them, after opening them, the pillar of light illuminated every inch of space here, in fact, it was indeed larger than she imagined, comparable to a classroom, the walls and the ground were wrapped in iron sheets, and there were obvious artificial traces, which showed that the entire hidden space was made by Chu Tianjiao little by little.

It is conceivable that after staying here, Chu Tianjiao had his own plan, and he turned this inconspicuous small place into his own secret base to hide those dangerous forbidden items. For many nights, he was secretly digging, doing the work of the civil engineering brother, transporting soil little by little, and moving things here little by little, and finally turned this place into an arsenal for dragon slaying heroes.
