Master of Heaven III
Chapter 2
"You seem to be in a bad mood, Wei."
Taking a long-distance car is very boring. In the fast-moving Mercedes, Joe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, fell asleep, read a fashion magazine, and yawned a few more times before finally turning his attention to Wei Zhengyi, who is acting as a driver at the moment.
There was no response, and Wei Zhengyi drove with a sullen face.Joe pulled back the back of the seat, sat up straight, sighed and said, "There have been so many troubles before, I kindly asked you to come out to relax, you don't appreciate it, there is no need to keep sneering at me, right?"
"Are you sure you didn't mean 'selfishness'? "Wei Zhengyi shot him a flattering look.
It can be seen that Wei Zhengyi is very angry now, and Joe is also very helpless to his senior brother who is occasionally in a state of volcanic eruption, and softens his tone, saying: "Well, I admit that I have selfish intentions, the matter of Ma Yanche's grievance After that, you seem to have a big prejudice against me, we haven't been alone for a long time, so I want to find an opportunity to connect with the relationship between the same sect."
"You think too much, you're a thief and I'm a soldier, what a relationship. I'm getting a salary from the government, not a red envelope from a gangster. Of course I'm going to work in the police station."
"But you used to go in and out with me in the saddle. If the undercover didn't do that, how could you get first-hand information and put me in jail?"
What come in and out at the same time?When is this guy going to learn not to use his words like he wants to be thrown in jail by himself.
"It's a saddle!" Wei Zhengyi rolled his eyes, "Being an undercover agent didn't work, so this mission was discontinued, and now the director has asked me to work in the bureau every day."
"Then it doesn't take more than ten hours to do things?"
"But I also need to have my own private time, brother, even if it's a bodyguard, you can't ask him to be on call 24 hours a day, right?"
Feeling upset, Wei Zhengyi's voice was loud, followed by a long period of silence, which made him a little worried that his tone was too harsh. Actually, it wasn't Joe's problem this time, it was him.
The last time Ma Yanche was possessed by a vengeful spirit, in order to save Joe, he said a lot of things he shouldn't have said, and finally even kissed on the mouth. As a result, he felt very embarrassed when he saw Joe now. In order to reduce the time spent together, He specifically asked the chief to cancel his undercover mission and officially return to the police station.
After a while, Joe still didn't speak. Wei Zhengyi couldn't hold his breath anymore. He peeked at him out of the corner of his eye, and saw him leaning on the back of the chair with his lips pursed slightly, which was a sign of his displeasure. , The next journey is still very long, Wei Zhengyi didn't want to be in this tense atmosphere all the time, so he had to make peace first.
"I see. I will try my best to spend time with you in the future. Is this okay?"
"No need." The cold voice interrupted him, and Joe sneered: "I don't like to force others, since you don't like it, then don't make do with me."
This guy was getting emotional again, and Wei Zhengyi couldn't hold back his anger. He asked, "Isn't there something you forced me to do? It's like I had a good blind date last night. You just go without saying anything." Pulling me away and turning off my phone, I don't know how to explain it to my parents afterwards."
When it came to the point, Joe laughed instead. He knew that Wei Zhengyi was pissing at him because of this matter, so he didn't give him a good face from last night until now. In fact, seeing Wei Zhengyi on a blind date with a woman, he didn't The moment he drew his gun to kill someone, his temper was much better than before.What kind of high-ranking official or socialite, in his opinion, that woman is useless except for her looks, and he wants Wei Zhengyi to take her to the mountains to see the snow. Don't be naive, it's a warm winter, and unless you go to climb the Himalayas, you can only drink the northwest wind when you go up the mountain.
Silver eyes glanced sideways at Wei Zhengyi, and Qiao asked, "You seem to like her very much?"
The gentle voice made Wei Zhengyi's vigilance immediately raised. According to his experience, the more innocent and harmless Qiao smiled, the more terrifying the conspiracy he planned in his heart. Damn it, just go through the motions, don't bother me every time, okay? Fortunately, I have a good excuse this time, otherwise I will be scolded to death by my dad again..."
"What excuse?" Qiao asked after reading the loopholes in Wei Zhengyi's words.
Wei Zhengyi's expression changed, and he stammered: "It's nothing...just an excuse I made up."
"I heard that your father's temper is not very good. It's hard to get away with any excuse, brother?" Joe smiled at him, "Please tell the lie perfectly, don't insult my IQ."
"You mean I'm lying to you?"
"Is not it?"
Wei Zhengyi had nothing to say, and being bullied, he asked angrily, "So what if it is? Don't you have a lot of things to hide from me?"
This army is doing well, Qiao stopped asking, and after a while, he sighed and said in a low voice, "Yes, when can we be as honest as Master and Nie?"
Wei Zhengyi frowned. He was most afraid of Qiao's self-pitying appearance, so he said discouragedly, "Okay, okay, I said, actually, the superiors received complaints about the Xiao family's dereliction of duty, so they asked me to go over there to investigate secretly. You know Xiao The status of the Wei family in the police circle, if there is a scandal, of course we hope to solve it internally in time, otherwise it will be bad for everyone if it gets worse."
"You mean Xiao Lancao's relatives?"
"He is my cousin's distant relative, so I have a little relationship with him. His name is Xiao Jingcheng, he is a man of skill, he works in the criminal department, and he is about to be promoted, so at this time, the issue of dereliction of duty is reported. It's very subtle, in order to avoid suspicion, it is not convenient for the Xiao family to come forward, so please leave it to our family, so my dad recommended me."
"Xiao Lancao knows about this?"
"Maybe, but he's very smart. Since he wasn't told, just ignore it. This is muddy water. If you're not careful, not only will you not be able to find out the truth, you may even be pulled into the water, so No one wants to touch it."
"The old man is so sophisticated, knowing that his efforts are not appreciated, why did he recommend you?"
"Do you think he wants to?" Speaking of this, Wei Zhengyi became angry again, and glared at Joe bitterly, "If you didn't suddenly drag me away from the blind date last night, would I have thought of this way to deal with it? I received an errand, and my old man has nothing to do if he gets angry, so he has to do favors."
It turned out that in the end, it was for him. Qiao was in a good mood, and picked up the mineral water bottle and gave it to Wei Zhengyi. ? How can I drink like this?"
Qiao obediently unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to him again. When Wei Zhengyi drank the water, he said, "Actually, I have a purpose for going out temporarily this time."
"I know, do you do things without purpose?" After talking for a long time, Wei Zhengyi became thirsty, gurgling water, and said, "You are playing pigeon racing, even hamburgers are used, you must secretly bet A lot of money went in."
"To be exact, someone did something wrong at the last pigeon racing meeting and cost me millions of dollars, so this time I let Hamburg compete as a racing pigeon to see who was behind it."
"Ha, how dare you speak so dignifiedly when you participate in underground gambling?" Wei Zhengyi laughed back angrily, "Just spend money to buy a lesson, and don't play this kind of thing in the future."
"That little money is nothing to me, but if you dare to plot against me, you must have the consciousness of being retaliated against. Hmph, if even this trivial matter can't be settled, how can the Borgia family gain a foothold here in the future?"
"Your family is already pretty enough in Italy, do you still want to take over all the gangsters here? I warn you, it's best not to make trouble under my nose, otherwise..."
"I knew you would go on and on if you found out about this, so I didn't tell you. I didn't say it was because I didn't want to hide it from you, but I didn't want us to be hurt by our respective positions." After a pause, Joe He also said, "I promise you not to take the initiative to commit crimes, but if others commit crimes against me, I will not swallow my anger either."
Wei Zhengyi stopped talking. Compared with the first acquaintance, Joe has indeed changed a lot, and he has endured a lot. The reason is very clear in his heart. Joe has his identity and position. He cannot ask the other party to completely leave that environment, but Zheng Because of these various factors, he was worried about their current relationship. If the other party was an ordinary person, everything would be much easier.
"Joe, there are some things that I would like to tell you frankly." Not wanting the matter to become more and more complicated, he hesitated and decided to speak out.
As if he had guessed what he was about to say, Joe paused, turned his head, and looked at him with beautiful silver eyes. Wei Zhengyi didn't dare to look back, and continued: "Your thoughts and thoughts are still what you want me to be. I understand, but I may not be able to respond. I am different from you. My family has been working in the police field for generations. I have been instilled with this concept since I was a child. The only seedling of the Wei family, my parents want to hug their grandson like crazy, I can't deviate from their expectations."
After he finished speaking, he felt that Joe's eyes on him gradually cooled down, then turned his head, took out a cigar, lit it, took two deep puffs, and asked in a cold voice: "So you just let them arrange your life as you like." ?”
"That's not arbitrary, I always intended that way."
At least before meeting Joe, his goals in life have always been simple - a distinguished family background is the best cornerstone, as long as he works hard, his career in the future will be smooth sailing, but all of this is now out of shape. In fact, he didn't care too much about intervening, otherwise he wouldn't pay attention to ten Joes, and he didn't even hate getting along with Joe, but the idea is one thing, the reality is another, thinking that he really wants to follow Joe like this As he walked on, his heart became heavy. If nothing else, he would not be able to pass the test of his parents.
He doesn't care about work and family background, but he doesn't know if such a bet is worth it. He is very afraid that after putting everything in, he will get nothing. Joe's existence is like fire, which is beautiful, fierce and terrifying. He dare not In response, I am afraid that one day when the fire goes out, there will be nothing left.
Therefore, it is good to maintain the current relationship, at least now he does not want to mention feelings.
"Don't bring it up again, Joe, and don't push me."
This time, Joe did not sneer and refute as in the past, but smoked a cigar silently. Wei Zhengyi was not used to him like this. As he approached, the scene of Qiao risking his life for rescue flashed in front of his eyes, which made him suddenly regret what he said just now—it was a high-sounding statement, but in fact, he didn’t know how to solve it at all, so he simply threw the problem to others to worry about, and dared not face it , Shrunk down like a coward, even he couldn't help despising himself.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, Wei Zhengyi cursed in a low voice, and put the mineral water bottle aside heavily. Unexpectedly, with too much force, the liquid inside splashed out, and his eyes hurt. At the same time, the steering wheel suddenly turned aside. Turning around, he didn't have time to change the correct direction in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped on the brakes, only to find that the brakes failed, the car lost control at an extremely fast speed, and the front of the car swung to the opposite lane.
"Be careful!"
Joe was sitting in the passenger seat, and he had no time to do anything. Seeing a car rushing towards him, he quickly held down Wei Zhengyi and threw himself on the seat together, but the expected impact did not happen, and the car was quiet, only hearing The two were breathing heavily.
Joe sat up in shock, and found that their car had crossed the separation line and was slanting across the opposite lane. It was still early, and there was no car in the tunnel, and the car that almost hit them just now was gone. He turned his head quickly Looking back, I saw only two rows of dim lights extending all the way to the front, and there was no sign of vehicles passing by.
Wei Zhengyi was rubbing his forehead beside him, because Joe hit his head against the car door with too much force, he gasped in pain, his eyes cast over, also full of surprise and confusion, as if he was puzzled by the sudden change just now.
"Did you see that car coming over?" Joe asked, pointing to the driveway ahead. He didn't pay attention to the model and color, but the presence of the car was absolute.
"No, I didn't see anything, I thought you wanted to follow me..." Sacrifice...
Wei Zhengyi stopped talking later, looked at Joe, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's good, but if you keep stopping in the middle of the road, it may not be so good."
There will be cars passing by in the tunnel at any time, and the light is not enough, so it is easy to cause a car accident. After discovering their current state, Wei Zhengyi quickly turned the steering wheel, turned the car back to the original lane, and kept looking at Joe from the corner of his eye.
Although he doesn't understand what happened until now, there is no doubt that at the moment of life and death, Joe reacted the same way as before. In the eyes of the person concerned, this can be said to be a kind of arrogance, or it can also be said to be a kind of caring. Such feelings are false if they don't care, and he can't help but think that if he misses it, then he will never be in the future. I have never encountered such pure emotion.
His emotions were shaken, and he couldn't help but feel a surge, regretting his previous refusal, Wei Zhengyi spit out, "Those words just now..."
"You are not in good spirits, let me drive the car instead."
The conversation was interrupted. It was obvious that Joe didn't want to discuss that topic any more, and Wei Zhengyi lost the courage he had finally built up. In fact, he is in a good state now, and he comforted himself.
"I'm fine," he tried the brakes, and after finding that there was no problem, he restarted the car and said, "It was an accident just now, sorry."
"Why are you saying sorry? I haven't enjoyed that kind of excitement for a long time, and I miss it very much." Joe didn't take the experience just seriously at all, jokingly, picked up the mineral water that Wei Zhengyi put in the table hole, and drank it.
Is this an indirect kiss?Watching his actions, Wei Zhengyi thought indignantly, this guy did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose!
The sudden encounter eased the tense atmosphere in the car, and Wei Zhengyi was feeling lucky when he suddenly saw a yellow Beetle approaching quickly in the rearview mirror, and it caught up to the rear of their car in a blink of an eye, but there was still no sign of slowing down. Seeing that they were about to collide, fortunately there was a parking space nearby, so he hurriedly turned the car in, and then saw the Beetle rushing past their car, the side mirror was scratched, and it was automatically retracted.
"Such a fast speed, rushing to reincarnate."
Nearly getting into two car accidents within a few minutes, Wei Zhengyi was so startled that his hairs stood on end. The Beetle went away in an instant, and he could only vaguely see a couple of young people sitting in the car. He couldn't help cursing.
Joe's expression also became serious, and he took out his pistol with a sullen face. Wei Zhengyi was afraid that he would get angry, and he would drive directly to catch up and throw a few bullets at the owner of the car. Just fine."
"When they meet me, they should be careful!"
The quiet and dark tone of voice showed the hostility in it. Knowing that he was annoyed, Wei Zhengyi was about to persuade him again, when suddenly there was a slapping sound from the car window. Zhengyi was unprepared, his heart was beating wildly, he turned his head and looked, and was stunned on the spot - on the opposite side of the glass window, a man with blood on his face was clinging to it, his blond hair was stained with blood, and his palm quickly He slapped the window, leaving fragmented palm prints on the window.
The man was very excited, his whole bloody face was distorted, and the blood flowed down the car window with his slapping, blurring the entire glass, feeling the faint yin energy dissipating, Wei Zhengyi took out and said The talisman was about to pop out, and he saw the man's eyeballs protrude suddenly, his body trembled violently, his mouth opened, as if he was yelling something, he subconsciously imitated the man's mouth shape, but the man's body trembled more and more. It got worse, and then slid down the car window.
Joe jumped out of the car and turned to the other side of the car to check. There was no one on the ground. He opened the car door and looked at Wei Zhengyi who was sitting inside. They both thought of the same fact at the same time - hell.
"Is it the undead who got into a car accident here? Maybe he didn't know he was dead, so he kept wandering around asking for help from people passing by." Looking at the bloody palm prints on the car window that gradually disappeared, Joe said.
"What he said just now seems not to save lives, but to be careful..." Recalling the ghost's mouth shape, Wei Zhengyi said doubtfully.
Perhaps realizing that it was the last message he could convey to the living, the man screamed hoarsely, but unfortunately they couldn't hear anything. As for the words after "be careful", Wei Zhengyi could only imitate, but he couldn't guess what he said .
Thinking of the undead wandering around trying to convey their thoughts to others, Wei Zhengyi sighed, got out of the car, took out a few requiem talismans, and said to the empty tunnel: "No matter what you have experienced in your life, it has passed, let go Lian Nian, go where you should go."
After speaking, he ignited the Dao Talisman and threw it into the air. He was in a hurry to go to work, and he couldn't stay long to be the Dojo for the dead. He could only temporarily use this method to appease the undead, hoping that it could understand and follow the Dao Talisman's guidance to pass away smoothly.
Qiao watched quietly from the side. He liked to watch Wei Zhengyi at this time. Wei Zhengyi's Taoism may be the lowest among all ascetics, but he is the most pious, and what a dojo needs most is piety and sincerity. Henry Zhang didn't have this, and neither did he, so when it comes to Taoism and righteousness, they are not as good as Wei Zhengyi.
The burning Taoist talisman flew in all directions with Wei Zhengyi's spell, and the fluorescence was weak, but it brought some warmth to the winter. Qiao also took out the Taoist talisman, lit it, and finished the ritual of requiem with Wei Zhengyi, saying : "It's your luck to meet my senior brother today. You only have one chance. You'd better wink and follow the Taoist talisman quickly."
Wei Zhengyi glared at Qiao. This kind of tone is not a transcendence, but a threat at all. Fortunately, the spell took effect. After the Dao Talisman was burned, the yin around him gradually weakened, and the front became brighter.
Boom boom boom!
The sound came continuously from the car. Wei Zhengyi turned his head and found a small skull bouncing inside through the car window, as if attracted by the Taoist qi outside. Its two round There was a faint blue light in the eye sockets, and he kept trying hard to hit the car window. If he could understand the skeleton's words, Wei Zhengyi thought it must be making noise—let me out, let me out quickly, I want to play too!
"Why did you bring it too?"
After finishing the simple ceremony, he found that it was the substitute skull he gave to Joe. Wei Zhengyi asked displeasedly, but Joe didn't take his complaint seriously. He went back to the car, grabbed the skull, and poked a finger into it In the eye sockets, it was spinning back and forth like a ball, and said: "Little darling is very funny, so I keep it by my side."
I don’t know if it’s because of hearing problems after staying in the tunnel for a long time. When Joe was playing tricks on the skeleton, Wei Zhengyi heard unpleasant chirping sounds in a trance, like the crying of a child, which made him feel furious. He has seen raising dogs and imps, but he has never seen anyone raising a skull. Thinking of the way the skull sucked blood and fought, he regretted that he gave this to Joe as a gift.
Seeing that Joe liked it very much, after poking its eye sockets, playing with the bow on its head, and even having a nickname, Wei Zhengyi couldn't help reminding: "It sucks blood, it's very evil, be careful."
"knowledge."
Joe put the skull back into his carry-on bag. This time Wei Zhengyi heard an unpleasant grunt. He felt more and more that there was something wrong with the skull. He tried to take it out following the sound source, but Joe stopped him and said, "Your face No, let me drive."
"I'm fine."
Everything is caused by the undead and the little skull. Wei Zhengyi never admits that he has a problem. He insists on not letting go of the steering wheel, and Joe doesn't force it. Sit down."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt pain in the back of his head. Wei Zhengyi slapped him and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense here, don't you think it's not enough trouble!?"
The slap was not heavy, and Joe actually felt very happy to be yelled at. He made a gesture to ward off evil spirits, and said in a good temper, "I'm afraid that you will be tired from driving all the time."
"If you drive, I will feel more terrible."
"Did the racing scare you?"
"Yes, yes, I have already experienced your drag racing skills, Mr. Borgia."
The car drove again, this time it went smoothly, and there were no more weird situations. Both of them relaxed and joked with each other. Wei Zhengyi paid careful attention to the condition of the car and found that the car was completely fine. He looked at Joe, hesitated. He asked, "What did you see when the brakes failed just now?"
"There was a car coming from the opposite side. The driver seemed to be a man wearing glasses. Now that I think about it, it might be a ghost car. There was a big car accident here a week ago, and what we encountered should be the undead who died in the car accident. .”
"A car accident?"
Faced with Wei Zhengyi's surprised expression, Qiao's reaction was even more surprising, "You don't know about such a big accident? What do you do at the police station every day?"
Wei Zhengyi stopped talking, turned his head to the front, and looked like he was concentrating on driving. Qiao hummed and sneered. Wei Zhengyi was terrified by his laughter, and couldn't help shouting: "I have been emptied recently, and I have been nesting in the file room. Being with Grandpa, I don’t know any news!”
In return for Joe's louder laughter, Wei Zhengyi became angry, "You still dare to laugh, is it because of you that I was imprisoned? They all say that I am a gangster undercover agent, and I will not be allowed to intervene in any case."
"Is it arranged by your father?"
"how do you know?"
"If I really suspected that you were an undercover agent, I would have suspended you long ago and let you hang out in the file room?" Joe took out two cigars, lit one himself, and handed the other to Wei Zhengyi, saying, " The old man wants to kill your arrogance, which is more conducive to discipline, without his approval, who would dare to get you, the second generation ancestor, to hide in the snow?"
Thinking about his father's continuous bombardment of him recently, Wei Zhengyi felt that what Joe said was indistinguishable. He looked at the cigar handed to him. He wanted to avoid it, but Joe stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"It's no fun smoking alone, you stay with me, don't worry, there are no ingredients in it."
"If you dare to add fuel, I will shoot you down!"
Unable to stand up to Joe's instigation, Wei Zhengyi made him light the fire, and the two brothers were smoking in the car together. Wei Zhengyi asked, "What is the car accident you are talking about?"
"It's a bit strange to say that it was raining that day, and the car in front of the accident vehicle leaked oil again, causing the rear car to skid and collide with the opposite car. After that, several cars collided with each other in succession, causing a fire. It is said that there were more than a dozen people It is really unlucky that such a big car accident happened not long after the opening of this tunnel.”
"It's just an ordinary car accident, what's wrong?"
"The man who crashed the car was called Chen Jin. He was in the real estate investment business. He was a member of the Golden Snake Gang. He was considered a famous figure when he was in the underworld. Before he died, he participated in pigeon racing. It is said that he lost tens of millions. He couldn't swallow this breath. Soon after, he threatened to catch the ghost behind the scenes, but he didn't catch the ghost, so he did it first."
Qiao leaned on the back of the chair and blew smoke rings, as if he was telling a story, Wei Zhengyi glanced at him, "Mr. Qiao, are you talking about autobiography?"
"Except for the different amount of compensation, this can indeed be regarded as my autobiography, but I am not as stupid as him, betting tens of millions on a small pigeon race."
You are not going anywhere, are you?
Wei Zhengyi asked, "So part of your purpose of going this time is to find out the truth about his death?"
"My intuition tells me that the events are connected."
"My intuition also tells me that we have encountered ghosts hitting the wall now. This tunnel has been open for so long and we can't get out. Do you still have the Dao Talisman? Get out of the car and play the soul call, maybe you can call the soul of the gangster boss to ask clear."
"Don't be stupid. This tunnel is more than 20 kilometers long. If you want to drive out, what you need is not a Taoist talisman, but time."
Wei Zhengyi was most afraid of such calm complaints, so he shut his mouth obediently and concentrated on driving. The road was deserted today, and they only encountered a few cars occasionally along the way. Floating, he didn't dare to turn off the headlights, kept the lights on and continued to drive forward.
Not long after driving, the vehicle drove to a small intersection, and the signal light just turned to red. Wei Zhengyi stopped the car and found that the signal light was equipped with an automatic sensor device, but there were no vehicles or pedestrians on the opposite side of the road. Joe saw a few children running in the distance, and said, "They must be naughty. They pressed the green light button but didn't leave. Just drive over. I'm in a hurry."
"I'm a policeman, you let me know the law and break the law? You are in a hurry, not in a hurry to reincarnate, you will die in two minutes."
Qiao was given a headache by Wei Zhengyi's loud voice. In order to calm things down, he raised his hand to say that he could wait. Looking at his playful smile, he knew that he didn't take his words seriously. Wei Zhengyi was about to teach him a lesson when a police car drove over from the opposite side. , ignoring the red light and crossing the intersection directly, brushing past them and running away.
Wei Zhengyi looked straight at him, and Qiao reminded him intimately: "That seems to be a policeman too."
"There are black sheep among the police."
As a policeman, Wei Zhengyi really wanted to write down the license plate number to file a complaint for violating traffic laws so blatantly. Unfortunately, the car was driving too fast and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Don't let me run into them, or I won't let them go!"
Bah Bah!
There was an urging sound from behind the car, and as soon as the signal light turned green, the car behind couldn't wait to honk its horn. Wei Zhengyi hurriedly escorted the car, muttering, "Why are you all in such a hurry?"
"Master always said that time is money," Joe sighed at the side, "but this truth is difficult to comprehend with your IQ."
The rest of the journey went smoothly. When passing by the gas station, Wei Zhengyi drove the car in and asked the technician to do a simple inspection of the car. It turned out that there was no problem with the battery, drive or brakes. Joe was bored beside him. He sipped his drink and said, "The car is fine, we're just going to hell."
Anyway, it's better to be careful, it will be bad if their car leaks oil too.
After the inspection, Wei Zhengyi drove the car to the hotel that Joe had booked, looked at the signboard of Hualida Hotel erected above the building, and asked, "Don't you have a house here? Why do you want to stay in a hotel?"
"Because Chen Jin often lived here before his death, maybe we can find out some clues."
When he came to the service desk of the hotel, Joe gave his name, but the waitress searched for his name for a long time but could not find his reservation record, and then called his colleagues in the room reservation department to inquire, but he still couldn’t find it out, so he had to ask him if he Wrong time.
Today was not a good day, and finally arrived at the destination, thinking that he could take a rest, but actually gave him this kind of oolong, Qiao said angrily: "Is there something wrong with your computer? I booked two single rooms. A total of three nights, how could there be no?"
"Are you sure it's today's date?"
"Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, three nights!"
This answer made the lady very confused. Seeing that Joe was a foreigner, she thought he didn't understand what she meant, so she asked, "Then, can you provide your reservation confirmation letter number so that we can check?"
"Confirmation letter?" Joe frowned and asked, "What's that?"
Seeing the troubled look on the desk lady's face, Wei Zhengyi had no choice but to help her out, "It's the reservation number that the hotel gives you when you book a room, and who booked the room for you, you can just ask."
He knew that it was impossible for Joe to do such a trivial matter by himself, and he would probably push it to the secretary or assistant, but the bad thing was that neither of them could get through on the phone. "You solve your problems."
Wei Zhengyi has lived in Italy for a long time, and he can understand what Joe is saying. Usually when Joe speaks his mother tongue, it means that he is in a bad mood, but when he is complained like this, he feels innocent and asks: "This is what you booked. Okay? How is it my problem?"
"If you hadn't been avoiding me recently, I wouldn't have left this little matter to others. If I hadn't let those idiots make appointments, I wouldn't have made such a trouble now." After explaining, Joe reiterated: "So this is your problem!"
Wei Zhengyi was bombarded speechless by a series of gangster logics. Fortunately, the lady at the service desk couldn't understand what they were talking about. He gave up arguing with Joe and said to the lady: "Maybe we got the time wrong, I don't know if you are now Are there any vacant rooms available?"
"I'm sorry, sir, all the guests are fully booked today."
"I pay three times the rent and get me two rooms."
Joe got impatient. His appearance was between an angel and a devil. When he was in a good mood, he was very pleasing to the eye, but once he turned his face, he was close to a devil. Feeling his evil spirit, the lady was a little scared: "It's not about money, Sir, it is really full..."
"Of course it's not about the money, it's about you," Joe smiled at her. "You can either solve it for me right away, or let your boss solve it."
A well-polished Lanbo knife twirled nimbly between his fingers. Seeing that the young lady's face turned pale with fright, Wei Zhengyi snatched the knife away and said to her, "We are in a hurry, please help us to investigate. Let's take a look, okay?"
He didn't need to say this, the lady was already typing on the keyboard quickly, thinking that if she really couldn't find out, then she had to find a chance to call the police, otherwise this beautiful man would definitely use a knife!
Fortunately for her, when she saw the vacant room number displayed on the computer screen, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "I found it, a guest checked out temporarily, although there is only one room, but it is a double bed, you see... ..."
Qiao's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Wei Zhengyi's answer, he said first, "One room is fine, arrange for me to check in right away, and if there are vacancies for the remaining two nights, please help me secure one at any time."
"OK."
Afraid that he would change his mind again, the lady at the front desk completed the check-in procedures as quickly as possible. In her panic, she even forgot to explain the simple check-in and check-out instructions, so she handed over the room key. When she wanted to remind, Joe had already left with the key. Wei Zhengyi looked at the two large suitcases in front of him, and resignedly pushed one with the other to follow.
What are you doing with such a big box for investigation?His dear junior is actually planning to come here for sightseeing, right?
Interrupting Wei Zhengyi's muttering, Joe walked into the elevator and pressed the button to urge: "Hurry up."
Too lazy to be familiar with him, Wei Zhengyi pushed the box into the elevator silently, looked at the flashing floor number, and asked, "What floor are we on?"
"Fifth floor, 5020."
Room 5020 is the farthest room. Although it is a single room, it is very spacious and the bed is big enough. There is also a small balcony next to it. As the evening approaches, the rain clears and the clouds gather, and the sunset glows slantingly, and you can vaguely see into the distance The overlapping mountains, the scenery is not bad, Joe is very satisfied, leaning on the balcony to look at it, said: "There is a park not far there, let's take a look at it at night."
"Can I choose to sleep?"
After driving for a day, Wei Zhengyi just wanted to rest. He put the suitcase aside and lay on his back on the bed. Joe looked at him, went to take out a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, handed one to him, and said, "Then you Rest well, I will do the next thing."
Wei Zhengyi was already sleepy, but after hearing this, his eyes widened immediately, "What are you going to do?"
Qiao smiled without answering, took the wine and went to the balcony, Wei Zhengyi couldn't help standing up, and asked, "How are you going to investigate the gambling case?"
"I haven't figured it out yet, where are you?"
"Me neither, too few clues."
A bit regretting the errands he took on, especially when there was a demon following him, Wei Zhengyi opened his wallet and looked at the photos in it. The man in the photos had inherited the excellent genes of the Xiao family, not only good-looking He is dignified and has a sharp mind, which makes his official career smooth sailing. The man's eyes are serious and sharp. Wei Zhengyi thinks that if he really has dereliction of duty and corruption, he will be a difficult opponent.
How to do it?
Wei Zhengyi was shaking his wallet and thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a light flashing on the window, his instinctive perception of danger made him immediately lean back, and at the same time as he fell on the bed, the window uploaded
Taking a long-distance car is very boring. In the fast-moving Mercedes, Joe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, fell asleep, read a fashion magazine, and yawned a few more times before finally turning his attention to Wei Zhengyi, who is acting as a driver at the moment.
There was no response, and Wei Zhengyi drove with a sullen face.Joe pulled back the back of the seat, sat up straight, sighed and said, "There have been so many troubles before, I kindly asked you to come out to relax, you don't appreciate it, there is no need to keep sneering at me, right?"
"Are you sure you didn't mean 'selfishness'? "Wei Zhengyi shot him a flattering look.
It can be seen that Wei Zhengyi is very angry now, and Joe is also very helpless to his senior brother who is occasionally in a state of volcanic eruption, and softens his tone, saying: "Well, I admit that I have selfish intentions, the matter of Ma Yanche's grievance After that, you seem to have a big prejudice against me, we haven't been alone for a long time, so I want to find an opportunity to connect with the relationship between the same sect."
"You think too much, you're a thief and I'm a soldier, what a relationship. I'm getting a salary from the government, not a red envelope from a gangster. Of course I'm going to work in the police station."
"But you used to go in and out with me in the saddle. If the undercover didn't do that, how could you get first-hand information and put me in jail?"
What come in and out at the same time?When is this guy going to learn not to use his words like he wants to be thrown in jail by himself.
"It's a saddle!" Wei Zhengyi rolled his eyes, "Being an undercover agent didn't work, so this mission was discontinued, and now the director has asked me to work in the bureau every day."
"Then it doesn't take more than ten hours to do things?"
"But I also need to have my own private time, brother, even if it's a bodyguard, you can't ask him to be on call 24 hours a day, right?"
Feeling upset, Wei Zhengyi's voice was loud, followed by a long period of silence, which made him a little worried that his tone was too harsh. Actually, it wasn't Joe's problem this time, it was him.
The last time Ma Yanche was possessed by a vengeful spirit, in order to save Joe, he said a lot of things he shouldn't have said, and finally even kissed on the mouth. As a result, he felt very embarrassed when he saw Joe now. In order to reduce the time spent together, He specifically asked the chief to cancel his undercover mission and officially return to the police station.
After a while, Joe still didn't speak. Wei Zhengyi couldn't hold his breath anymore. He peeked at him out of the corner of his eye, and saw him leaning on the back of the chair with his lips pursed slightly, which was a sign of his displeasure. , The next journey is still very long, Wei Zhengyi didn't want to be in this tense atmosphere all the time, so he had to make peace first.
"I see. I will try my best to spend time with you in the future. Is this okay?"
"No need." The cold voice interrupted him, and Joe sneered: "I don't like to force others, since you don't like it, then don't make do with me."
This guy was getting emotional again, and Wei Zhengyi couldn't hold back his anger. He asked, "Isn't there something you forced me to do? It's like I had a good blind date last night. You just go without saying anything." Pulling me away and turning off my phone, I don't know how to explain it to my parents afterwards."
When it came to the point, Joe laughed instead. He knew that Wei Zhengyi was pissing at him because of this matter, so he didn't give him a good face from last night until now. In fact, seeing Wei Zhengyi on a blind date with a woman, he didn't The moment he drew his gun to kill someone, his temper was much better than before.What kind of high-ranking official or socialite, in his opinion, that woman is useless except for her looks, and he wants Wei Zhengyi to take her to the mountains to see the snow. Don't be naive, it's a warm winter, and unless you go to climb the Himalayas, you can only drink the northwest wind when you go up the mountain.
Silver eyes glanced sideways at Wei Zhengyi, and Qiao asked, "You seem to like her very much?"
The gentle voice made Wei Zhengyi's vigilance immediately raised. According to his experience, the more innocent and harmless Qiao smiled, the more terrifying the conspiracy he planned in his heart. Damn it, just go through the motions, don't bother me every time, okay? Fortunately, I have a good excuse this time, otherwise I will be scolded to death by my dad again..."
"What excuse?" Qiao asked after reading the loopholes in Wei Zhengyi's words.
Wei Zhengyi's expression changed, and he stammered: "It's nothing...just an excuse I made up."
"I heard that your father's temper is not very good. It's hard to get away with any excuse, brother?" Joe smiled at him, "Please tell the lie perfectly, don't insult my IQ."
"You mean I'm lying to you?"
"Is not it?"
Wei Zhengyi had nothing to say, and being bullied, he asked angrily, "So what if it is? Don't you have a lot of things to hide from me?"
This army is doing well, Qiao stopped asking, and after a while, he sighed and said in a low voice, "Yes, when can we be as honest as Master and Nie?"
Wei Zhengyi frowned. He was most afraid of Qiao's self-pitying appearance, so he said discouragedly, "Okay, okay, I said, actually, the superiors received complaints about the Xiao family's dereliction of duty, so they asked me to go over there to investigate secretly. You know Xiao The status of the Wei family in the police circle, if there is a scandal, of course we hope to solve it internally in time, otherwise it will be bad for everyone if it gets worse."
"You mean Xiao Lancao's relatives?"
"He is my cousin's distant relative, so I have a little relationship with him. His name is Xiao Jingcheng, he is a man of skill, he works in the criminal department, and he is about to be promoted, so at this time, the issue of dereliction of duty is reported. It's very subtle, in order to avoid suspicion, it is not convenient for the Xiao family to come forward, so please leave it to our family, so my dad recommended me."
"Xiao Lancao knows about this?"
"Maybe, but he's very smart. Since he wasn't told, just ignore it. This is muddy water. If you're not careful, not only will you not be able to find out the truth, you may even be pulled into the water, so No one wants to touch it."
"The old man is so sophisticated, knowing that his efforts are not appreciated, why did he recommend you?"
"Do you think he wants to?" Speaking of this, Wei Zhengyi became angry again, and glared at Joe bitterly, "If you didn't suddenly drag me away from the blind date last night, would I have thought of this way to deal with it? I received an errand, and my old man has nothing to do if he gets angry, so he has to do favors."
It turned out that in the end, it was for him. Qiao was in a good mood, and picked up the mineral water bottle and gave it to Wei Zhengyi. ? How can I drink like this?"
Qiao obediently unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to him again. When Wei Zhengyi drank the water, he said, "Actually, I have a purpose for going out temporarily this time."
"I know, do you do things without purpose?" After talking for a long time, Wei Zhengyi became thirsty, gurgling water, and said, "You are playing pigeon racing, even hamburgers are used, you must secretly bet A lot of money went in."
"To be exact, someone did something wrong at the last pigeon racing meeting and cost me millions of dollars, so this time I let Hamburg compete as a racing pigeon to see who was behind it."
"Ha, how dare you speak so dignifiedly when you participate in underground gambling?" Wei Zhengyi laughed back angrily, "Just spend money to buy a lesson, and don't play this kind of thing in the future."
"That little money is nothing to me, but if you dare to plot against me, you must have the consciousness of being retaliated against. Hmph, if even this trivial matter can't be settled, how can the Borgia family gain a foothold here in the future?"
"Your family is already pretty enough in Italy, do you still want to take over all the gangsters here? I warn you, it's best not to make trouble under my nose, otherwise..."
"I knew you would go on and on if you found out about this, so I didn't tell you. I didn't say it was because I didn't want to hide it from you, but I didn't want us to be hurt by our respective positions." After a pause, Joe He also said, "I promise you not to take the initiative to commit crimes, but if others commit crimes against me, I will not swallow my anger either."
Wei Zhengyi stopped talking. Compared with the first acquaintance, Joe has indeed changed a lot, and he has endured a lot. The reason is very clear in his heart. Joe has his identity and position. He cannot ask the other party to completely leave that environment, but Zheng Because of these various factors, he was worried about their current relationship. If the other party was an ordinary person, everything would be much easier.
"Joe, there are some things that I would like to tell you frankly." Not wanting the matter to become more and more complicated, he hesitated and decided to speak out.
As if he had guessed what he was about to say, Joe paused, turned his head, and looked at him with beautiful silver eyes. Wei Zhengyi didn't dare to look back, and continued: "Your thoughts and thoughts are still what you want me to be. I understand, but I may not be able to respond. I am different from you. My family has been working in the police field for generations. I have been instilled with this concept since I was a child. The only seedling of the Wei family, my parents want to hug their grandson like crazy, I can't deviate from their expectations."
After he finished speaking, he felt that Joe's eyes on him gradually cooled down, then turned his head, took out a cigar, lit it, took two deep puffs, and asked in a cold voice: "So you just let them arrange your life as you like." ?”
"That's not arbitrary, I always intended that way."
At least before meeting Joe, his goals in life have always been simple - a distinguished family background is the best cornerstone, as long as he works hard, his career in the future will be smooth sailing, but all of this is now out of shape. In fact, he didn't care too much about intervening, otherwise he wouldn't pay attention to ten Joes, and he didn't even hate getting along with Joe, but the idea is one thing, the reality is another, thinking that he really wants to follow Joe like this As he walked on, his heart became heavy. If nothing else, he would not be able to pass the test of his parents.
He doesn't care about work and family background, but he doesn't know if such a bet is worth it. He is very afraid that after putting everything in, he will get nothing. Joe's existence is like fire, which is beautiful, fierce and terrifying. He dare not In response, I am afraid that one day when the fire goes out, there will be nothing left.
Therefore, it is good to maintain the current relationship, at least now he does not want to mention feelings.
"Don't bring it up again, Joe, and don't push me."
This time, Joe did not sneer and refute as in the past, but smoked a cigar silently. Wei Zhengyi was not used to him like this. As he approached, the scene of Qiao risking his life for rescue flashed in front of his eyes, which made him suddenly regret what he said just now—it was a high-sounding statement, but in fact, he didn’t know how to solve it at all, so he simply threw the problem to others to worry about, and dared not face it , Shrunk down like a coward, even he couldn't help despising himself.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, Wei Zhengyi cursed in a low voice, and put the mineral water bottle aside heavily. Unexpectedly, with too much force, the liquid inside splashed out, and his eyes hurt. At the same time, the steering wheel suddenly turned aside. Turning around, he didn't have time to change the correct direction in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped on the brakes, only to find that the brakes failed, the car lost control at an extremely fast speed, and the front of the car swung to the opposite lane.
"Be careful!"
Joe was sitting in the passenger seat, and he had no time to do anything. Seeing a car rushing towards him, he quickly held down Wei Zhengyi and threw himself on the seat together, but the expected impact did not happen, and the car was quiet, only hearing The two were breathing heavily.
Joe sat up in shock, and found that their car had crossed the separation line and was slanting across the opposite lane. It was still early, and there was no car in the tunnel, and the car that almost hit them just now was gone. He turned his head quickly Looking back, I saw only two rows of dim lights extending all the way to the front, and there was no sign of vehicles passing by.
Wei Zhengyi was rubbing his forehead beside him, because Joe hit his head against the car door with too much force, he gasped in pain, his eyes cast over, also full of surprise and confusion, as if he was puzzled by the sudden change just now.
"Did you see that car coming over?" Joe asked, pointing to the driveway ahead. He didn't pay attention to the model and color, but the presence of the car was absolute.
"No, I didn't see anything, I thought you wanted to follow me..." Sacrifice...
Wei Zhengyi stopped talking later, looked at Joe, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's good, but if you keep stopping in the middle of the road, it may not be so good."
There will be cars passing by in the tunnel at any time, and the light is not enough, so it is easy to cause a car accident. After discovering their current state, Wei Zhengyi quickly turned the steering wheel, turned the car back to the original lane, and kept looking at Joe from the corner of his eye.
Although he doesn't understand what happened until now, there is no doubt that at the moment of life and death, Joe reacted the same way as before. In the eyes of the person concerned, this can be said to be a kind of arrogance, or it can also be said to be a kind of caring. Such feelings are false if they don't care, and he can't help but think that if he misses it, then he will never be in the future. I have never encountered such pure emotion.
His emotions were shaken, and he couldn't help but feel a surge, regretting his previous refusal, Wei Zhengyi spit out, "Those words just now..."
"You are not in good spirits, let me drive the car instead."
The conversation was interrupted. It was obvious that Joe didn't want to discuss that topic any more, and Wei Zhengyi lost the courage he had finally built up. In fact, he is in a good state now, and he comforted himself.
"I'm fine," he tried the brakes, and after finding that there was no problem, he restarted the car and said, "It was an accident just now, sorry."
"Why are you saying sorry? I haven't enjoyed that kind of excitement for a long time, and I miss it very much." Joe didn't take the experience just seriously at all, jokingly, picked up the mineral water that Wei Zhengyi put in the table hole, and drank it.
Is this an indirect kiss?Watching his actions, Wei Zhengyi thought indignantly, this guy did it on purpose, absolutely on purpose!
The sudden encounter eased the tense atmosphere in the car, and Wei Zhengyi was feeling lucky when he suddenly saw a yellow Beetle approaching quickly in the rearview mirror, and it caught up to the rear of their car in a blink of an eye, but there was still no sign of slowing down. Seeing that they were about to collide, fortunately there was a parking space nearby, so he hurriedly turned the car in, and then saw the Beetle rushing past their car, the side mirror was scratched, and it was automatically retracted.
"Such a fast speed, rushing to reincarnate."
Nearly getting into two car accidents within a few minutes, Wei Zhengyi was so startled that his hairs stood on end. The Beetle went away in an instant, and he could only vaguely see a couple of young people sitting in the car. He couldn't help cursing.
Joe's expression also became serious, and he took out his pistol with a sullen face. Wei Zhengyi was afraid that he would get angry, and he would drive directly to catch up and throw a few bullets at the owner of the car. Just fine."
"When they meet me, they should be careful!"
The quiet and dark tone of voice showed the hostility in it. Knowing that he was annoyed, Wei Zhengyi was about to persuade him again, when suddenly there was a slapping sound from the car window. Zhengyi was unprepared, his heart was beating wildly, he turned his head and looked, and was stunned on the spot - on the opposite side of the glass window, a man with blood on his face was clinging to it, his blond hair was stained with blood, and his palm quickly He slapped the window, leaving fragmented palm prints on the window.
The man was very excited, his whole bloody face was distorted, and the blood flowed down the car window with his slapping, blurring the entire glass, feeling the faint yin energy dissipating, Wei Zhengyi took out and said The talisman was about to pop out, and he saw the man's eyeballs protrude suddenly, his body trembled violently, his mouth opened, as if he was yelling something, he subconsciously imitated the man's mouth shape, but the man's body trembled more and more. It got worse, and then slid down the car window.
Joe jumped out of the car and turned to the other side of the car to check. There was no one on the ground. He opened the car door and looked at Wei Zhengyi who was sitting inside. They both thought of the same fact at the same time - hell.
"Is it the undead who got into a car accident here? Maybe he didn't know he was dead, so he kept wandering around asking for help from people passing by." Looking at the bloody palm prints on the car window that gradually disappeared, Joe said.
"What he said just now seems not to save lives, but to be careful..." Recalling the ghost's mouth shape, Wei Zhengyi said doubtfully.
Perhaps realizing that it was the last message he could convey to the living, the man screamed hoarsely, but unfortunately they couldn't hear anything. As for the words after "be careful", Wei Zhengyi could only imitate, but he couldn't guess what he said .
Thinking of the undead wandering around trying to convey their thoughts to others, Wei Zhengyi sighed, got out of the car, took out a few requiem talismans, and said to the empty tunnel: "No matter what you have experienced in your life, it has passed, let go Lian Nian, go where you should go."
After speaking, he ignited the Dao Talisman and threw it into the air. He was in a hurry to go to work, and he couldn't stay long to be the Dojo for the dead. He could only temporarily use this method to appease the undead, hoping that it could understand and follow the Dao Talisman's guidance to pass away smoothly.
Qiao watched quietly from the side. He liked to watch Wei Zhengyi at this time. Wei Zhengyi's Taoism may be the lowest among all ascetics, but he is the most pious, and what a dojo needs most is piety and sincerity. Henry Zhang didn't have this, and neither did he, so when it comes to Taoism and righteousness, they are not as good as Wei Zhengyi.
The burning Taoist talisman flew in all directions with Wei Zhengyi's spell, and the fluorescence was weak, but it brought some warmth to the winter. Qiao also took out the Taoist talisman, lit it, and finished the ritual of requiem with Wei Zhengyi, saying : "It's your luck to meet my senior brother today. You only have one chance. You'd better wink and follow the Taoist talisman quickly."
Wei Zhengyi glared at Qiao. This kind of tone is not a transcendence, but a threat at all. Fortunately, the spell took effect. After the Dao Talisman was burned, the yin around him gradually weakened, and the front became brighter.
Boom boom boom!
The sound came continuously from the car. Wei Zhengyi turned his head and found a small skull bouncing inside through the car window, as if attracted by the Taoist qi outside. Its two round There was a faint blue light in the eye sockets, and he kept trying hard to hit the car window. If he could understand the skeleton's words, Wei Zhengyi thought it must be making noise—let me out, let me out quickly, I want to play too!
"Why did you bring it too?"
After finishing the simple ceremony, he found that it was the substitute skull he gave to Joe. Wei Zhengyi asked displeasedly, but Joe didn't take his complaint seriously. He went back to the car, grabbed the skull, and poked a finger into it In the eye sockets, it was spinning back and forth like a ball, and said: "Little darling is very funny, so I keep it by my side."
I don’t know if it’s because of hearing problems after staying in the tunnel for a long time. When Joe was playing tricks on the skeleton, Wei Zhengyi heard unpleasant chirping sounds in a trance, like the crying of a child, which made him feel furious. He has seen raising dogs and imps, but he has never seen anyone raising a skull. Thinking of the way the skull sucked blood and fought, he regretted that he gave this to Joe as a gift.
Seeing that Joe liked it very much, after poking its eye sockets, playing with the bow on its head, and even having a nickname, Wei Zhengyi couldn't help reminding: "It sucks blood, it's very evil, be careful."
"knowledge."
Joe put the skull back into his carry-on bag. This time Wei Zhengyi heard an unpleasant grunt. He felt more and more that there was something wrong with the skull. He tried to take it out following the sound source, but Joe stopped him and said, "Your face No, let me drive."
"I'm fine."
Everything is caused by the undead and the little skull. Wei Zhengyi never admits that he has a problem. He insists on not letting go of the steering wheel, and Joe doesn't force it. Sit down."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt pain in the back of his head. Wei Zhengyi slapped him and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense here, don't you think it's not enough trouble!?"
The slap was not heavy, and Joe actually felt very happy to be yelled at. He made a gesture to ward off evil spirits, and said in a good temper, "I'm afraid that you will be tired from driving all the time."
"If you drive, I will feel more terrible."
"Did the racing scare you?"
"Yes, yes, I have already experienced your drag racing skills, Mr. Borgia."
The car drove again, this time it went smoothly, and there were no more weird situations. Both of them relaxed and joked with each other. Wei Zhengyi paid careful attention to the condition of the car and found that the car was completely fine. He looked at Joe, hesitated. He asked, "What did you see when the brakes failed just now?"
"There was a car coming from the opposite side. The driver seemed to be a man wearing glasses. Now that I think about it, it might be a ghost car. There was a big car accident here a week ago, and what we encountered should be the undead who died in the car accident. .”
"A car accident?"
Faced with Wei Zhengyi's surprised expression, Qiao's reaction was even more surprising, "You don't know about such a big accident? What do you do at the police station every day?"
Wei Zhengyi stopped talking, turned his head to the front, and looked like he was concentrating on driving. Qiao hummed and sneered. Wei Zhengyi was terrified by his laughter, and couldn't help shouting: "I have been emptied recently, and I have been nesting in the file room. Being with Grandpa, I don’t know any news!”
In return for Joe's louder laughter, Wei Zhengyi became angry, "You still dare to laugh, is it because of you that I was imprisoned? They all say that I am a gangster undercover agent, and I will not be allowed to intervene in any case."
"Is it arranged by your father?"
"how do you know?"
"If I really suspected that you were an undercover agent, I would have suspended you long ago and let you hang out in the file room?" Joe took out two cigars, lit one himself, and handed the other to Wei Zhengyi, saying, " The old man wants to kill your arrogance, which is more conducive to discipline, without his approval, who would dare to get you, the second generation ancestor, to hide in the snow?"
Thinking about his father's continuous bombardment of him recently, Wei Zhengyi felt that what Joe said was indistinguishable. He looked at the cigar handed to him. He wanted to avoid it, but Joe stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"It's no fun smoking alone, you stay with me, don't worry, there are no ingredients in it."
"If you dare to add fuel, I will shoot you down!"
Unable to stand up to Joe's instigation, Wei Zhengyi made him light the fire, and the two brothers were smoking in the car together. Wei Zhengyi asked, "What is the car accident you are talking about?"
"It's a bit strange to say that it was raining that day, and the car in front of the accident vehicle leaked oil again, causing the rear car to skid and collide with the opposite car. After that, several cars collided with each other in succession, causing a fire. It is said that there were more than a dozen people It is really unlucky that such a big car accident happened not long after the opening of this tunnel.”
"It's just an ordinary car accident, what's wrong?"
"The man who crashed the car was called Chen Jin. He was in the real estate investment business. He was a member of the Golden Snake Gang. He was considered a famous figure when he was in the underworld. Before he died, he participated in pigeon racing. It is said that he lost tens of millions. He couldn't swallow this breath. Soon after, he threatened to catch the ghost behind the scenes, but he didn't catch the ghost, so he did it first."
Qiao leaned on the back of the chair and blew smoke rings, as if he was telling a story, Wei Zhengyi glanced at him, "Mr. Qiao, are you talking about autobiography?"
"Except for the different amount of compensation, this can indeed be regarded as my autobiography, but I am not as stupid as him, betting tens of millions on a small pigeon race."
You are not going anywhere, are you?
Wei Zhengyi asked, "So part of your purpose of going this time is to find out the truth about his death?"
"My intuition tells me that the events are connected."
"My intuition also tells me that we have encountered ghosts hitting the wall now. This tunnel has been open for so long and we can't get out. Do you still have the Dao Talisman? Get out of the car and play the soul call, maybe you can call the soul of the gangster boss to ask clear."
"Don't be stupid. This tunnel is more than 20 kilometers long. If you want to drive out, what you need is not a Taoist talisman, but time."
Wei Zhengyi was most afraid of such calm complaints, so he shut his mouth obediently and concentrated on driving. The road was deserted today, and they only encountered a few cars occasionally along the way. Floating, he didn't dare to turn off the headlights, kept the lights on and continued to drive forward.
Not long after driving, the vehicle drove to a small intersection, and the signal light just turned to red. Wei Zhengyi stopped the car and found that the signal light was equipped with an automatic sensor device, but there were no vehicles or pedestrians on the opposite side of the road. Joe saw a few children running in the distance, and said, "They must be naughty. They pressed the green light button but didn't leave. Just drive over. I'm in a hurry."
"I'm a policeman, you let me know the law and break the law? You are in a hurry, not in a hurry to reincarnate, you will die in two minutes."
Qiao was given a headache by Wei Zhengyi's loud voice. In order to calm things down, he raised his hand to say that he could wait. Looking at his playful smile, he knew that he didn't take his words seriously. Wei Zhengyi was about to teach him a lesson when a police car drove over from the opposite side. , ignoring the red light and crossing the intersection directly, brushing past them and running away.
Wei Zhengyi looked straight at him, and Qiao reminded him intimately: "That seems to be a policeman too."
"There are black sheep among the police."
As a policeman, Wei Zhengyi really wanted to write down the license plate number to file a complaint for violating traffic laws so blatantly. Unfortunately, the car was driving too fast and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Don't let me run into them, or I won't let them go!"
Bah Bah!
There was an urging sound from behind the car, and as soon as the signal light turned green, the car behind couldn't wait to honk its horn. Wei Zhengyi hurriedly escorted the car, muttering, "Why are you all in such a hurry?"
"Master always said that time is money," Joe sighed at the side, "but this truth is difficult to comprehend with your IQ."
The rest of the journey went smoothly. When passing by the gas station, Wei Zhengyi drove the car in and asked the technician to do a simple inspection of the car. It turned out that there was no problem with the battery, drive or brakes. Joe was bored beside him. He sipped his drink and said, "The car is fine, we're just going to hell."
Anyway, it's better to be careful, it will be bad if their car leaks oil too.
After the inspection, Wei Zhengyi drove the car to the hotel that Joe had booked, looked at the signboard of Hualida Hotel erected above the building, and asked, "Don't you have a house here? Why do you want to stay in a hotel?"
"Because Chen Jin often lived here before his death, maybe we can find out some clues."
When he came to the service desk of the hotel, Joe gave his name, but the waitress searched for his name for a long time but could not find his reservation record, and then called his colleagues in the room reservation department to inquire, but he still couldn’t find it out, so he had to ask him if he Wrong time.
Today was not a good day, and finally arrived at the destination, thinking that he could take a rest, but actually gave him this kind of oolong, Qiao said angrily: "Is there something wrong with your computer? I booked two single rooms. A total of three nights, how could there be no?"
"Are you sure it's today's date?"
"Today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, three nights!"
This answer made the lady very confused. Seeing that Joe was a foreigner, she thought he didn't understand what she meant, so she asked, "Then, can you provide your reservation confirmation letter number so that we can check?"
"Confirmation letter?" Joe frowned and asked, "What's that?"
Seeing the troubled look on the desk lady's face, Wei Zhengyi had no choice but to help her out, "It's the reservation number that the hotel gives you when you book a room, and who booked the room for you, you can just ask."
He knew that it was impossible for Joe to do such a trivial matter by himself, and he would probably push it to the secretary or assistant, but the bad thing was that neither of them could get through on the phone. "You solve your problems."
Wei Zhengyi has lived in Italy for a long time, and he can understand what Joe is saying. Usually when Joe speaks his mother tongue, it means that he is in a bad mood, but when he is complained like this, he feels innocent and asks: "This is what you booked. Okay? How is it my problem?"
"If you hadn't been avoiding me recently, I wouldn't have left this little matter to others. If I hadn't let those idiots make appointments, I wouldn't have made such a trouble now." After explaining, Joe reiterated: "So this is your problem!"
Wei Zhengyi was bombarded speechless by a series of gangster logics. Fortunately, the lady at the service desk couldn't understand what they were talking about. He gave up arguing with Joe and said to the lady: "Maybe we got the time wrong, I don't know if you are now Are there any vacant rooms available?"
"I'm sorry, sir, all the guests are fully booked today."
"I pay three times the rent and get me two rooms."
Joe got impatient. His appearance was between an angel and a devil. When he was in a good mood, he was very pleasing to the eye, but once he turned his face, he was close to a devil. Feeling his evil spirit, the lady was a little scared: "It's not about money, Sir, it is really full..."
"Of course it's not about the money, it's about you," Joe smiled at her. "You can either solve it for me right away, or let your boss solve it."
A well-polished Lanbo knife twirled nimbly between his fingers. Seeing that the young lady's face turned pale with fright, Wei Zhengyi snatched the knife away and said to her, "We are in a hurry, please help us to investigate. Let's take a look, okay?"
He didn't need to say this, the lady was already typing on the keyboard quickly, thinking that if she really couldn't find out, then she had to find a chance to call the police, otherwise this beautiful man would definitely use a knife!
Fortunately for her, when she saw the vacant room number displayed on the computer screen, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "I found it, a guest checked out temporarily, although there is only one room, but it is a double bed, you see... ..."
Qiao's eyes lit up, and without waiting for Wei Zhengyi's answer, he said first, "One room is fine, arrange for me to check in right away, and if there are vacancies for the remaining two nights, please help me secure one at any time."
"OK."
Afraid that he would change his mind again, the lady at the front desk completed the check-in procedures as quickly as possible. In her panic, she even forgot to explain the simple check-in and check-out instructions, so she handed over the room key. When she wanted to remind, Joe had already left with the key. Wei Zhengyi looked at the two large suitcases in front of him, and resignedly pushed one with the other to follow.
What are you doing with such a big box for investigation?His dear junior is actually planning to come here for sightseeing, right?
Interrupting Wei Zhengyi's muttering, Joe walked into the elevator and pressed the button to urge: "Hurry up."
Too lazy to be familiar with him, Wei Zhengyi pushed the box into the elevator silently, looked at the flashing floor number, and asked, "What floor are we on?"
"Fifth floor, 5020."
Room 5020 is the farthest room. Although it is a single room, it is very spacious and the bed is big enough. There is also a small balcony next to it. As the evening approaches, the rain clears and the clouds gather, and the sunset glows slantingly, and you can vaguely see into the distance The overlapping mountains, the scenery is not bad, Joe is very satisfied, leaning on the balcony to look at it, said: "There is a park not far there, let's take a look at it at night."
"Can I choose to sleep?"
After driving for a day, Wei Zhengyi just wanted to rest. He put the suitcase aside and lay on his back on the bed. Joe looked at him, went to take out a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, handed one to him, and said, "Then you Rest well, I will do the next thing."
Wei Zhengyi was already sleepy, but after hearing this, his eyes widened immediately, "What are you going to do?"
Qiao smiled without answering, took the wine and went to the balcony, Wei Zhengyi couldn't help standing up, and asked, "How are you going to investigate the gambling case?"
"I haven't figured it out yet, where are you?"
"Me neither, too few clues."
A bit regretting the errands he took on, especially when there was a demon following him, Wei Zhengyi opened his wallet and looked at the photos in it. The man in the photos had inherited the excellent genes of the Xiao family, not only good-looking He is dignified and has a sharp mind, which makes his official career smooth sailing. The man's eyes are serious and sharp. Wei Zhengyi thinks that if he really has dereliction of duty and corruption, he will be a difficult opponent.
How to do it?
Wei Zhengyi was shaking his wallet and thinking about it, when he suddenly saw a light flashing on the window, his instinctive perception of danger made him immediately lean back, and at the same time as he fell on the bed, the window uploaded
