Volume 1 The Beginning of Chaos Chapter 083 Heading to Nancheng
said that he needed to go home to prepare, but in fact, Zhong Ming didn't bring too many things, he casually packed a few clothes with him, and brought some essential supplies for life, packed them in a small backpack, and was ready to go!
The landlord Zhong Ming had already said hello, in fact, after learning that there had been a murder in the rental house, the landlord was also a little worried that Zhong Ming wanted to move out, and he had been hesitating how to communicate with Zhong Ming, but he waited for many days and didn't wait for Zhong Ming's news, and he was muttering in his heart!
When Zhong Ming mentioned the matter of renewing the lease, the landlord couldn't ask for it, and even offered to reduce the rent for half a month, and when this thing was made, he would compensate Zhong Ming for the inconvenience.
The matter of the rental house being seized by the police was in an uproar at the time, but there was no movement on the landlord's side, Zhong Ming was still a little strange, but he didn't expect that the other party was worried that he would take the opportunity to move out, so there would be no news.
It's right to think about it, if the average person knows that the place where he lives is haunted, or even a murder happened not long ago, he has to find the landlord to talk about it anyway, and only Zhong Ming, a special guy in this situation, will treat it as if nothing happened, without even mentioning half a word, no wonder the landlord was so overjoyed when he heard that Zhong Ming renewed the lease.
You must know that it is not easy to rent out the house of the deceased, especially this kind of homicide, it is even more fearful! If it weren't for the fact that this house might not be easy to sell recently, it is estimated that the landlord would have the intention of reselling it, and since Zhong Ming is willing to renew the lease, it is naturally the best!
I don't panic when I have money in my hand, this time I went out Zhong Ming was also a rare luxury, I bought a first-class train ticket, and I planned to sit comfortably to finish the journey, after all, I am now a quasi-"high-salary earner", as long as the merit points are in hand, this little money is nothing.
The process of going to Nancheng was very smooth, but as soon as he got off the train, Zhong Ming was a little dumbfounded, and he waited at the exit for more than half an hour, and no one came forward to take a stubble, let alone someone to answer what Shang Bodong said.
Before coming out, Zhong Ming deliberately told Shang Bodong about the number of trains, and the other party only said that someone would naturally answer after he arrived, but the situation did not seem to be as smooth as he thought.
was about to call Shang Bodong, Zhong Ming's mobile phone suddenly rang, it was an unfamiliar number, I thought it was mostly telemarketing, and when he was about to hang up, Zhong Ming's heart suddenly moved, and he picked it up like a ghost.
"Hurry up and get out of the station, someone is pretending to be me looking for you, don't go with that person!"
The content of the call was very short, and he didn't even introduce himself, after saying this, there was no sound on the other end of the phone, no matter what Zhong Ming said, there was no response, only a vague sound of rustling, and then it became a busy tone after hanging up.
Putting down the phone, Zhong Ming's heart was full of curiosity, was this a prank made by someone? But who would be so boring, how could he know that he was at the station, could it be that something was wrong, so the person who answered him never appeared?
Just when Zhong Ming was full of doubts, a young man with a sunny face appeared in front of Zhong Ming, smiled and asked, "May I ask if you are Zhong Ming?"
Zhong Ming was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive, and the other party seemed to see something from Zhong Ming's performance, and continued with a smile: "Introduce yourself, Li Yan of the Nancheng Branch, the director of the business bureau contacted the branch before and told you about your situation, and I will be your tour guide for this trip to Nancheng!"
Zhong Ming was a little confused by this brother who suddenly appeared, remembering the content of the phone, his heart was full of doubts, and he subconsciously asked, "Did the Nancheng Branch only arrange for you to come over alone this time?"
Li Yan's face was a little puzzled, but he still answered truthfully: "That's right, after receiving the request of the director of commerce, the sub-bureau arranged for me to come and wait for you, but I was a little delayed on the road for personal reasons, I'm really embarrassed, if there are no other problems, why don't we talk on the way?"
Zhong Ming was still a little uneasy when he heard this, but he remained quiet on the surface, and after saying that it was okay to Li Yan, he said that he wanted to make a phone call to the bureau to report the trip, and after a little distance from Li Yan, he quietly took a photo of the other party and sent it to Shang Bodong, and then dialed the phone.
"Director, did you see the photo I just sent you? Do you know this person?"
After Shang Bodong received the photo, he just glanced at it casually, the phone rang, and he said with a smile: "You have already arrived in Nancheng, the one in the photo is Li Yan, I have seen it a few times before, and it is quite reliable, is there any problem?"
Hearing Shang Bodong say this, Zhong Ming also lowered his guard a little, and didn't dare to talk for too long, lest the other party have any bad thoughts, he casually talked about the situation after he arrived at the station, and was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait a minute, you said that Li Yan was late, and someone gave you an inexplicable warning call?"
Originally, Zhong Ming was already a little inappropriate, he just thought it was a false alarm, but as soon as he heard Shang Bodong's words, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "That's right, is there any problem?"
Shang Bodong's tone was a little serious, and he also lowered his voice and said: "I'm afraid there is really a problem!" Li Yan, although I haven't had much contact, I have also heard my friends in Nancheng mention that he has never made a mistake in handling things solidly, if he is really sent to pick you up, he should never be late, it seems that that the call is very likely to be true!"
Shang Bodong's words made Zhong Ming a little nervous, after all, this was the first time he had encountered this situation, so he was inevitably a little flustered, and asked in a slightly anxious tone: "Then what should I do now?" The other party is not far from me now, if there is a real problem, it may be unfavorable to me at any time, and the person on the phone specially told me not to go with the other party!"
There was no sound on the other side of the phone, it should be Shang Bodong who was groaning, and after a long while, he re-spoke: "You first find a way to stabilize the other party, I will let the Nancheng Branch send someone to answer again, by the way, confirm Li Yan's identity, before that, you try to ensure your own safety, this matter is not so simple!"
Zhong Ming didn't say anything, hung up the phone after admitting it, stood in place and thought about it, and then dialed the unfamiliar number before, but Li Yan's body rang for a while, and he reached out and took it out and connected the phone.
"Hey, I'm Li Yan, who is it?"
A clear voice came from the other end of the phone, and it was Li Yan who answered the phone, and it wasn't until this clock that he reacted, and the voice of the mysterious person before seemed to be exactly the same as the Li Yan in front of him!
Don't dare to hang up the phone immediately, Zhong Ming pretended to continue the conversation, but he didn't make a sound, and at the same time heard the other party constantly confirming the movement on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone with some confusion after a while.
The eyes of the two inadvertently collided at this time, Zhong Ming hurriedly pretended to be embarrassed, raised the mobile phone in his hand at Li Yanyao, and spread his hands to indicate that he might have to delay for a while!
Seeing this, Li Yan just smiled, waved his hand to signal Zhong Ming to take care of himself, and at the same time lowered his head and fiddled with his mobile phone, as if he was interested in Zhong Ming's caller electrode, and looked like he was ready to call back.
In desperation, Zhong Ming had no choice but to put down the phone in a hurry, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "I contacted the director of commerce just now, and I heard that there is another colleague who is also coming by the way, so I guess I have to trouble you to wait with me for a while!"
The smile on Li Yan's face stiffened slightly, and after hearing this, he hesitated a little: "How long will that colleague come over?" There have been a lot of things in the bureau recently, why don't you go with me first, and then arrange for someone else to pick him up?"
Zhong Ming was anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he had to continue to pretend to be embarrassed, and said tentatively: "If you send me a location, I'll find it myself when the time comes, so as not to delay your business, how embarrassing!"
Li Yan's expression suddenly became gloomy, his right hand reached out and grabbed Zhong Ming's wrist, and said in a cold voice: "Follow me obediently, otherwise everyone here will suffer, as an administrator, you shouldn't be able to only care about your own safety, right?"
Seeing that the other party completely tore his face, Zhong Ming calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Who are you, where is the real Li Yan now, and why is his mobile phone on you?"
"You have too many questions, but a phone call can expose me, it's really a bit surprising to me, if you guessed correctly, you should have secretly taken a photo of me just now and found someone to confirm it, what else is there on my body that shows flaws, it's not just because of a strange phone call, right?"
Li Yan had a sneer on his face, and his eyes when he looked at Zhong Ming became unkind, revealing a feeling of unscrupulousness, as if he had already settled on Zhong Ming, and he was not in a hurry to leave at all, and even began to explore the flaws in his body!
For this situation, Zhong Ming simply couldn't ask for it, since the other party gave him the opportunity to delay time, he was naturally happy to see it, so he said in a false way: "There are too many flaws, the content of the phone is only the most insignificant point, and even barely arouses my suspicion!"
"Oh, I want to hear about it!"
Zhong Ming's performance successfully attracted the other party's interest, and it seemed that the other party didn't realize that someone else was coming, which was completely fearless.
"As you said, I did secretly take a picture of you, and I have found someone to confirm that there are no flaws at all, and this alone is a little surprising in your true nature! But it is not so easy to be completely flawless, at least your dress inadvertently exposes some problems!"
"Dressed up?"
Perhaps this topic exceeded the other party's expectations, Li Yan's face frowned, but he couldn't figure out where the flaws were exposed, and only after a moment did he shake his head and sneer: "Impossible, this dress is completely copied from Li Yan's dress, there are no flaws at all, it's too naïve to want to delay time in this way, right?"
Zhong Ming frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect that the other party had already guessed that he was delaying time, but why was he still in this fearless appearance? Is it just because these ordinary people in the station made the other party feel that he had a hostage in his hands?
Some couldn't figure out the key to this, but Zhong Ming still retorted: "Your confidence is inevitably too much, I didn't say anything, your dress did expose the problem, but the problem is not in the clothes!"
