Chapter Twenty-Six: New Hatred and Old Hatred Together
Now Luo Di and his mother have been gone with his biological father for a few years, I don't know if he has changed his name to anything else, anyway, Lao Mai still calls him by his old name, after all, he used to call him this way when he was a child.
Old Mai looked at his cheap son who he hadn't seen for many years, and asked with warmth: "Luo Di, are you doing well with your mother over there now?"
Roddy lowered his eyes and replied absentmindedly: "Oh, it's okay, it's good, I ......"
Lao Mai suddenly felt that he shouldn't ask this now, so he changed the subject and asked: "Then you, don't go home so late now, why do you stay here alone and learn to smoke by yourself?"
"Dad," Roddy's voice suddenly turned into a crying voice, a little incoherent, "mine, my motorcycle was stolen! It was stolen outside a karaoke parlor, there was no one to keep the car, and the security guard said that people often get stolen cars, and I can't find ...... when I come out."
He made a special trip to wait for Lao Mai, Lao Mai used to pull him up with a handful of and a handful of urine, emotionally speaking, he never forgot this father who has been calling since he learned to speak, and once there is an embarrassment that cannot be solved, he remembers that he has been very fond of himself since he was a child, and he is kind and generous.
"Ahh
At that time, I had the heart to personally deal with the aftermath of the stolen car, and I didn't have time to remember, at this time, I heard that my cheap son was also stolen from the motorcycle, and I couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in my heart, but on the surface, I still asked him in a calm tone.
Roddy licked his dry lips and began to narrate:
"Today is my birthday, at noon I and a few classmates from the school asked for leave from the teacher, went to the ok hall to have a room to eat and sing, I, I secretly rode the Yamaha Prince car behind my father's house, and when we came out of the karaoke hall, I found that the motorcycle parked outside could not be found, and asked the security guard at the door, and said that no one drove away my car.
"Those classmates accompanied me to look for a long time, and then saw that it was too late, so they let them go home first, I remembered that my mother said, my father originally lived in this community, and then came to the city as an official, I don't know if I still live here, so I looked all the way over, and asked the gatekeeper to know that your house is still inside, but I haven't seen anyone come back, so I waited outside the gate. ”
Today is the birthday of his cheap son, Lao Mai has long been unable to remember, now I think of this day every year, he and his ex-wife always take him to his favorite KFC fried chicken restaurant, to buy favorite toys, comic books as birthday gifts, so far for several years, this situation, like a lifetime, looking back on it is embarrassing.
Lao Mai interrupted his old thoughts, thinking that he had never told anyone about moving and renting a house, and Luo Di was really lucky today, he just happened to come over to collect the rent, otherwise he would only have to run for nothing.
He continued, "Doesn't that karaoke parlor keep motorcycles?"
Luo Di replied: "There is an open-air parking lot inside, the place is not big, only for cars to park in, motorcycles are parked on the sidewalk outside, the security guard does not give the toll collector to collect money, so no one keeps the car, I heard the security guard on duty say that motorcycles are often stolen there, and they can't take care of them with few people." ”
Lao Mai frowned and thought for a while, and asked Luo Di to sit in the passenger seat of the little Wuling car and lead the way to the door of the karaoke hall to have a look.
The place where the car was lost is not very far away, a few kilometers away, but the place is a little remote, but it is very close to the middle school where Roddy studied.
According to Luo Di, the sound in the box of the karaoke hall is well tuned, the videos are all rear-projection large-screen color TVs, and the price is also very fair, and there is always an endless stream of people who go to practice their voices during the day and night.
After they arrived at their destination, Lao Mai saw that this was still the site of Shizhong District, so he parked the car on the side of the road at random, got out of the car with Luo Di and walked to the karaoke hall.
At this moment, a dark and thin young man in civilian clothes was walking out of the gate of the song hall, pushing an old bicycle, and seemed to be about to ride away.
"Dad," Luo Di suddenly exclaimed, "it's the security guard, he went to work from noon to afternoon, and I went to ask him about the theft of the car, and I said anything else, but I didn't know about the theft of my car." ”
When Lao Mai heard this, he quickened his steps and walked over, stopped in front of the black and thin young man, and said with a smile: "Brother, can you take a step to speak?"
Looking at the appearance of the black and thin young man, he obviously doesn't look like a security guard from a veteran, his eyes are a little gloomy, and he looks like he is mixed in society when he takes off his security guard clothes.
He raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man with a sturdy medium size in front of him, and then at Roddy, who was following behind him with a very familiar face, and seemed to understand something for a while.
I saw him speaking calmly in a foreign accent: "If there is anything to say here, I have to rush home after work." ”
Lao Mai suddenly remembered that Lao Lan had mentioned the words of a foreign gang to commit car theft, dug out several remote addresses in the city from his mental memory, whispered them one by one, and then looked at this person's reaction expression, as if he didn't know.
He knew it in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Take us to your car stealing den." ”
The black and thin young man's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately wanted to throw away the bicycle and run away, but Lao Mai's eyes were fast, and he grabbed his pulse, and the black and thin young man seemed to be caught in the acupoint, unable to move, and his face suddenly panicked.
Lao Mai was close to him, like a pair of acquaintances, dragged him to the side of the van with the car a few steps, pushed him into the passenger seat, and the old bicycle was also stuffed into the back of the car, told Roddy to sit in the back and help him, then jumped into the car and drove away.
Xiao Wuling's car drove a few steps and stopped again, Lao Mai pinched the wrist of the black and thin young man with his hand, and urged him vigorously, the man couldn't stand it, so he had to honestly tell the address of the den where he stayed.
Lao Mai hurriedly drove to that place, and when he got to the ground, he saw that it was just a scrap collection station run by outsiders in the suburbs, which seemed to be operated by renting a few old bungalows of local units and a vacant land surrounded by a wall.
In the evening, one of the old bungalows was getting dark, and one of them was already brightly lit.
Lao Mai stopped the car, told Roddy to stay in the car and not get down, only dragged the black and thin young man out, put his hand on his hand, and walked towards the door of the lighted bungalow.
As soon as Lao Mai arrived at the door, he immediately kicked the door open, and then pushed the thin black young man who was clasped in his hand like a puppet into the door, and finally walked in with a figure-eight step.
Inside the lighted bungalow, an old-fashioned factory office, with desks painted yellow on top of old newspapers, stacks of steaming hot cooked dishes from large bowls, and a few locally made bottled beers on the floor.
Under the light of an incandescent light bulb hanging from the roof, in addition to the black and thin young man who was pushed out and collapsed under the desk, you can see several young and middle-aged people in shabby clothes, tall, short, fat and thin, who look stunned.
After Lao Mai entered, he stared indifferently at each other and asked, "Who stole a Yamaha prince car outside the door of a certain karaoke hall this afternoon?"
These people are just thieves, not gangsters, let alone the underworld, seeing Lao Mai pushing the black and thin young man in, he fell to the ground motionless, and was already stunned, coupled with Lao Mai's temperament as a government official, he mistakenly thought it was the arrival of plainclothes police.
I saw a middle-aged short and fat man trembling his lips, pointing to a tall, thin and young man and saying, "Report the report...... Sue the government, yes...... He stole it back. ”
Lao Mai smiled secretly in his heart: "Do you still know that reporting to the government seems to be an old thief who has been released from labor reform for many years." ”
He stepped forward and pulled the tall and thin young man's right hand from the car, pressed it to the temporary dining table, and at some point a cyan brick appeared in his hand, and smashed it down, and heard a scream, and the tall and thin young man's right hand was smashed as flat as paste.
The tall and thin young man suddenly rolled to the ground, his left hand covering his right hand, rolling all over the ground, screaming miserably.
Several other thieves who were stunned by this scene "pounced" and fell to their knees several times, and the middle-aged Humpty Dumpty raised his fists and pleaded: "Government, lock me in, don't beat me, I haven't stolen a car." ”
Lao Mai looked at the thieves noncommittally, pointed to the middle-aged Humpty Dumpty and asked, "Where is the Yamaha Prince car?"
The middle-aged Humpty Dumpty shook his lips and stuttered, "I'm ...... In the next room, next door, also ...... There are a few cars, and they have to wait for someone to drive them away in the middle of the night. ”
Lao Mai stared at him coldly and shook his head, asking him to go out with him to get the car, and waited until the middle-aged Humpty Dumpty man's hands trembled for a long time before he opened the wooden door of the room next door where the stolen goods were hidden.
There are also seven or eight high-end motorcycles in the room, all of which are smuggled imported goods worth tens of thousands of yuan, and all of them have license plates from nearby counties.
Large and medium-sized cities in China have been restricting motorcycles with a displacement of more than 125cc to enter the household, and those large-displacement luxury motorcycles smuggled into the country are all related to acquaintances and related to the lax management of the county vehicle management office.
The middle-aged Humpty Dumpty pushed a beautiful Yamaha 250 Prince out of the yard and set it up, and Lao Mai kicked him back to the house where he had eaten, only to hear the continuous wailing of the tall and thin young man who had stolen the car, which looked terrible in the dark night.
Lao Mai told Roddy, who was nervous and frightened in the car, to get down, go to drive his prince's motorcycle, follow behind his car, and then threw the old bicycle of the black and thin young man to the side of the road, and immediately drove a cigarette onto the highway and left.
When he arrived at the section of the city with bright street lights, he stopped and said a few words, said goodbye to Luo Di and rode home alone, and went back to the villa villa on the outskirts of the city's central district.
"Daddy," Roddy tugged at Lao Mai's sleeve nervously and excitedly as he parted, "I now know that you are so powerful." ”
When Roddy left Lao Mai, he was not yet ten years old, which is the age when he admired his father the most, and this admiration has continued since the two of them had not seen each other for many years, and it has continued to this day.
