This incident almost made the news for a while, and finally the company officially said that it was a screen protector connected to the LED computer, and then it was prevaricated.
In fact, thinking about it, our line of work is quite fun. When I was young, my dad taught me that it doesn’t matter what job you do, what matters is how much influence your job will have on others, and this is the greatest joy of work.
Now I have convinced a standard atheist that there are some invisible and intangible things in this world. I don’t know if this counts as influence.
It is indeed very profitable to do it. It is not convenient for me to disclose the income of this trip, but it is indeed enough to make people happy for a long time. After we went back, Bai Kai and I received a lot of business, and we gradually developed a tacit understanding. Except that he often hurt me intentionally or unintentionally, we get along very well.
However, I still often think alone, thinking about how I should talk to Qin Yiheng when I catch Qin Yiheng a month later. The previous few times we came down, both of us caught up with the battle of wits and courage.
One month passed quickly, and there was nothing worth mentioning about the small businesses in the middle. Some of them, to put it bluntly, were simply scaremongering and bluffing, but they were all done for nothing, and I didn't participate. .
After working with Bai Kai a lot, I feel more and more that what he and Qin Yiheng learned is not a system at all.
The tricks he uses are generally more trouble-free. You don’t need to prepare this or that in advance. You often compare and draw a few times, choose a place, let someone put something, and you’re done.
However, it could also be that nothing difficult happened to either of us.
For example, a hotel came to us and said that there were always car accidents at the intersection in front of them. Over time, it was rumored that the feng shui in that place was bad, which caused the hotel's business to be sluggish.
After we went to see it, Bai Kai told them that the intersection was "uneven". This "unevenness" does not refer to the road surface, but to that intersection, where there are little ghosts who rob the road.
After looking around, Bai Kai said that this cannot be solved. This is a problem left over from history. The little devil was here hundreds of years ago. There was no ceremony when the road was built, and he was invited away with a bulldozer. Anyone can change it. In a hurry. In the end, he could only suggest that the hotel find a broken car that had an accident, the worse the crash, the better, put it on the side of the road, and let the employees hit the car with their bodies when they get off work every day, so that the little devil Take it easy, maybe it'll be all right.
I don't know if the white method will work in the end, anyway, a week later, we received the money from there.
This matter has also been on the news, and it is quite a sense of accomplishment to think about it.
From one month to the last two days, I finally asked Bai Kai if Qin Yiheng would really appear. With a confident look, he looked at his phone and said, the day after tomorrow, he will definitely see Qin Yiheng. So I waited anxiously for two days, but I didn't even see Qin Er's shadow.
Bai Kai was very surprised, and said to himself that it was impossible.
I admire his acting skills very much, and I know in my heart that if he had no secret contact with Qin Yiheng, it would be impossible to pinpoint the date so accurately.
However, I was wrong. On the second day after he said it was impossible, things suddenly changed.
The reason was that I received a call. I was familiar with this phone number. It was from the old man in the hat. I had called before, but the phone of the other party kept shutting down. My heart jumped into my throat when I heard the phone call, but the other party was not the old man himself, but his attendant.
Then, the other party told me a piece of news, a piece of news that surprised me——
The old man in the hat died that same day.
The old man specifically explained that after his death, the attendant would contact me and invite me to attend his funeral.
I was quite surprised by this invitation, but when I looked at Bai Kai next to me, I suddenly understood why Bai Kai was sure that Qin Yiheng would appear in a month. If I'm not mistaken, Qin Er will fucking show up at the funeral too. So, I agreed without hesitation, asked for the address of the funeral, and hung up the phone.
The old man's death did not surprise me at all. Humans are inherently mortal, not to mention that Qin Yiheng said before that the old man was only using alchemy to maintain his life, and he was already terminally ill.
To my vague uneasiness, the funeral took place that evening.
The old man passed away on the same day, but he didn't have the folk procedure of mortuary and funeral, as if he was about to be buried in a hurry. This has to make people suspicious, is there any hidden secret in it
When I answered the phone, Bai Kai happened to be beside me. The two of us were drinking in a restaurant, pushing and changing glasses, and we both drank a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have acted so calmly when I received that call. After hanging up the phone, I asked Bai Kai: "Is that what you said about Qin Yiheng appearing?"
Bai Kai's face was a bit grim, as if he was a bit drunk, and he said to himself: "Well, it's a day away." I thought he felt ashamed and miscalculated the time, so I deliberately laughed twice and asked him: " So you know the old man in the hat too? What did he want you for?"
Bai Kai raised his head and said: "Qin Yiheng mentioned that person to me, but something is wrong now, it's a day away, I'm afraid there is something wrong."
At first I didn't realize what Bai Kai said, but I suddenly shivered: "One day later? You mean the old man died one day later? How do you know when the old man will die?"
"Because yesterday was the day on the tablet in the ancestral hall. If that person was related to the ancestral hall, he could only have died yesterday!" Bai Kai looked at me and said, "No, I have to go with you." His expression was very Serious, especially without mentioning my lack of heart, which is obviously a serious statement.
My heart began to be turned upside down, that old man really has something to do with the Wan family? Is he also Wanjia? I have always ignored that the people on those tablets all died on the same day of the year.
How the hell did they die
At this time, the wine was already half sober, and I seemed to be beginning to understand a little bit. This big circle ended up around that ancestral hall.
I took a sip of wine and nodded. It doesn't matter if there is one more person. Even if there is an obstacle at that time, the big deal is to adapt to the situation, and he can cover me a little bit, so I still have some confidence. I said: "Okay, then you go with me later, but I'll tell you what I said first, you have to help me catch Qin Yiheng."
Bai Kai forced a smile and said, "I can't fucking catch it, and don't be too optimistic, it might be a trap."
I said: "Traps are traps, don't you always say that I'm short-hearted? Stupid people have stupid luck!"
Having said that, I am inevitably still nervous, but after thinking about it, I have taken enough risks, this time is not bad.
I said again: "Then what is the purpose of the other party? This is not kidnapping. Even if Qin Yiheng goes, it is not the reason why I have to go!"
Bai Kai drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, squinted his drunken eyes, and said: "The people who went this time all want to know what happened during the day that the old man escaped from death."
Bai Kai shouted "pay the bill", stood up and continued: "This is the reason why we must go!"
When we left the restaurant, we were both a little shaken, and we woke up after blowing the cold wind for a while. The two of us discussed a time and decided to go back to our respective residences to sober up and meet again.
I took a taxi, went home, took a quick shower, drank several bowls of strong tea, and gradually felt less dizzy, except for a dull headache. Bai Kai drinks more than I do, so he naturally wakes up faster, and he was already fine when we met. We didn't dare to drive, so we took a taxi to the place where the funeral was held.
It's a funeral, but I think it's more appropriate to call it a memorial service, because the funeral should be held in a cemetery, which is what people do in the Western world, but the place they gave me was on the pier by the city, so I once suspected that the old man would be buried at sea.
The city I live in is a port city, and the wharf is where many people live. When I was a child, I almost played at the pier, and I was familiar with going there. Earlier this pier was used for freight, but later because the throughput could not meet the demand, it was changed to a passenger pier, and some sightseeing cruise ships were also docked.
When we arrived at the place, there were already people greeting us by the outermost gate. The man was dressed in black, and when they met, he bowed deeply, as if a certain gangster played in a movie had passed away.
To be on the safe side, we came a lot earlier. We entered the gate without seeing a single person. After walking a little further, we saw another person in the same attire leading us to the deepest part of the pier.
Seeing a small cruise ship docked in the distance, I couldn't help but click my tongue, how much the hell does it cost
Bai Kai said beside him: "Don't get on the boat yet, there is something in the water."
