Xu Qinglang's car did not go to the vegetable market.
Before leaving, Zhou Ze asked, "Are there any fresh frogs in the vegetable market at this time?"
That’s a very correct question.
At this time, if you don’t make an appointment in advance, it’s hard to say whether you can buy it, let alone pursue something new.
As for the people in the bookstore who have become more and more picky and have gradually become gourmets,
You feed them stale food.
It is indeed inappropriate.
Besides,
Xu Qinglang also ate with everyone.
You want a person who owns more than 20 houses to eat stale food with you,
Neither the local government nor the real estate developers will agree!
Xu Qinglang parked the car beside the pond. Not far ahead was a small river, and all around were farmlands.
The breeze is blowing, and the fields are filled with fragrance;
Lao Xu leaned against the car door calmly, smoking a cigarette.
A cigarette is over,
Xu Qinglang took out two sacks from the trunk and threw them directly on the ground.
Then,
Put your face towards the side of the reflector.
It's not that I suddenly need to touch up my makeup now.
I don't want to check my skin color now.
It's not that I have nothing to do and I want to appreciate my own beauty.
He just stared at his own face reflected in the mirror.
at the same time,
A silent debate began.
presumptuous!
impossible!
Absolutely not!
no!
not good!
Not willing!
well,
You...
you…
insult!
well…
Just this once!
This will not happen again!
Then,
One by one, cute little frogs began to sing together and lined up to jump out from the pond, the farmland, and the river.
Everyone took the initiative, happily and enthusiastically got into the sack that Madam Xu had thrown on the ground earlier.
The last few that came in seemed to want to tie the sack themselves.
But after working hard for a long time, there was no success.
Xu Qinglang nodded with satisfaction, took two ropes, tied the sacks together, and put them in the trunk.
Look back,
One more day, I look at the beautiful countryside around me.
Xu Qinglang got into the car.
I returned with this beautiful gift from nature.
… …
"I would like to thank leaders at all levels for their concern for Chenjia Village. I believe that the future of Chenjia Village will get better and better!"
The news was playing on the TV in the bookstore.
In the picture, the old village chief is standing in front of the boundary marker at the entrance of the village, being interviewed by a TV station.
That day, a paper mill was selected as a site in Chenjia Village.
The old village chief in the picture looks energetic, and the boundary marker behind him is frequently in the frame.
This is old news from a few years ago.
Now replay it.
It's really ironic.
No one knew or cared that the village accountant had been lying underground for sixteen years. It seemed that everyone from top to bottom had collectively acquiesced in his disappearance, as if this person had never appeared.
Then,
On the boundary marker,
Scene after scene of the drama is being carefully performed.
Wait from the beginning,
It produced an absolutely ironic masterpiece.
Zhou Ze took a bite of the pudding Yingying made herself and said to himself:
"How could such news be broadcast? Yingying, call and report it. Isn't this tarnishing the image of Tongcheng? They really have no sense of the overall situation. Let them withdraw immediately."
"Okay, boss."
Yingying responded with a smile but did nothing.
"And, I say, do you really have nothing to do?"
Zhou Ze pointed at Qing who had been standing in front of him for half a day.
Qing shook his head and said, yes, there is nothing to do.
An employee, in front of his boss, honestly said that he had nothing to do.
As a boss, Zhou Ze felt really bad.
But in this situation, he really didn't dare to arrange anything for Qing.
"How about this, there are still a lot of computers in the Internet cafe, the three of you, call Liu Chuyu, and play some games together."
"They are all asleep, I am the only one awake."
Obviously, Qing has no interest in things like "games".
Zhou Ze sighed, he didn't know what to say.
At this time,
Xu Qinglang is back.
He was carrying two large sacks of frogs.
"Yingying, come and give me a hand."
Frogs taste great but are a bit fiddly to prepare.
Zhou Ze pointed at Qing and said, "Go and help."
"OK."
that's all,
The former law enforcement boss,
I ran to the kitchen to skin and wash a bunch of frogs.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner and the Taoist priest had not returned yet, Zhou Ze had no choice but to put down the half-eaten pudding in his hand and took out his cell phone to call the Taoist priest.
"Hey, Boss, I'm on my way and will be back soon. Can I make it in time for dinner?"
"No food left over there?"
“Well, I guess this incident was too much of a shock to them.
The old woman had a cerebral hemorrhage, the eldest daughter-in-law had a stroke, the second daughter-in-law suddenly had a heart attack, and the third daughter-in-law fell down the stairs and broke her bones and was sent to the hospital;
Then it seemed like there was something wrong with the seafood that was arranged for the previous birthday party. A large group of grandchildren broke out in rashes and allergies. It was really scary.
I originally wanted to save it for dinner, but now there is no one to cook it for me."
Zhou Ze touched the tip of his nose.
road:
"Then you should come back."
"Sure, boss."
"Take some time to visit them in the hospital tomorrow and buy them some gifts."
“Oh, okay, boss.
By the way, Boss, are they relatives of yours? "
"Why do you ask?"
"It's nothing. I just think you are too kind to them, boss. You know, the men in their family have done more than just bad things..."
"This is not ancient times. Why do we need to punish the criminals? It is enough for the criminals to be punished. Their family members are still innocent."
"Alas, Boss, you are kind-hearted. I cannot reach your level."
"Okay, come back early for dinner. We have frogs tonight."
After hanging up the phone,
Zhou Ze stretched his body.
The white fox lying on the sofa opposite was doing the same thing.
Most of the white fox's hair had fallen off because of the drought.
Later, she simply shaved off the rest of her hair.
For this purpose, she even asked Lawyer An to buy her a piece of pet clothes for the Corgi.
"Hungry?"
Zhou Ze asked.
The white fox nodded and yawned.
In the whole book room,
The laziest two.
One is the boss,
One is the white fox.
No matter how free someone is, they can always find something to do.
Those who like to farm can farm.
Those who like to comfort older sisters should comfort older sisters.
Those who like to fall in love should fall in love.
There are only the boss and the white fox.
Lying down,
Lying down,
Lying down,
Sit up when it's time for dinner.
"The meal will be ready soon."
Yingying came out with the dishes and chopsticks and set the table.
At this time, the Tongcheng News was finished and the News Broadcast began.
"CCTV, CCTV, this is..."
"Boss, why do they have to say it twice?"
Yingying asked as she placed her chopsticks.
Zhou Ze picked up the remote control, clicked it, and said:
"Oh, this is a reminder for us to change the channel."
… …
"Okay, that's it for now for this case. Old Wu, you can take a rest now."
The task force sent down from the province will take over this case because the nature of this case is different.
Lao Zhang nodded and said nothing.
In his mind, the words the old village chief said when he was arrested were still echoing.
Sixteen years have passed.
A person who has been interviewed several times and held many ceremonies at the boundary marker,
A person who has always been under the boundary marker seems to be forgotten by the whole world.
actually,
Having lived two lives and being an old criminal policeman, Lao Zhang knows very well that very few criminals who have committed heinous crimes such as murder will truly repent.
You saw them crying on TV.
It's not that they regret it.
It is not the same as the tears of regret that are shed in the same old way as described by novelists.
The real reason is simple.
They are afraid of death.
But the old village chief obviously does not belong to this category. He has lived enough and enjoyed all he should have. He only has a few years left to live anyway, so he has no regrets.
He planned to take all the blame on himself, and his three sons would be as holy as white lotus flowers, untainted by the mud.
When Lao Zhang walked out of the office and passed the door of the interrogation room, his pace suddenly slowed down.
The corner of his mouth twitched suddenly.
In my eyes,
Blood began to appear.
A wave of anger began to sweep through his brain.
At this moment,
He suddenly wanted to rush in and kill someone.
Kill people using all the extreme torture methods that one can think of.
This is almost an instinct, but at this moment, this instinct was infinitely magnified for some reason.
Lao Zhang didn't dare to stay here any longer, but rushed into the bathroom next door, turned on the faucet, and splashed cold water on his face.
“Huh…”
He took a deep breath,
Lao Zhang raised his head.
Look at yourself in the mirror.
He suddenly felt that the person in the mirror looked really scary, so scary, like a ferocious beast on the verge of rampage.
At this time,
In the mirror,
The other side of your body,
A cyan unicorn appeared.
In the eyes of the unicorn,
With pure clarity.
"I...what's wrong with me?"
The unicorn said nothing.
"What's wrong with me?"
Lao Zhang was a little flustered and yelled at the unicorn in the mirror.
Blood suddenly began to drip from the unicorn's eyes.
Lao Zhang's eyes opened wide.
Then,
He felt his eyes itchy.
Lower your head,
He saw drops of blood dripping down.
Tick-tock,
Tick-tock,
Raise your head again,
Looking at myself in the mirror,
Blood,
It has covered my entire face.
And it is spreading wildly at an extremely exaggerated speed.
"No... No... What's wrong... What on earth is going on..."
Lao Zhang subconsciously took a few steps back. He naturally knew what was sealed in his body.
But he couldn't have the relationship between his boss and Ying Gou, which was like best friends.
I can't do what Madam Xu did, forcing the sea god to catch frogs.
Now he is very confused and frightened.
at this time,
In the mirror,
The expressionless unicorn continued to bleed expressionlessly.
Then,
It was as if a crisp sound came from somewhere.
Unicorn head,
Fell down...
