Walking past a dilapidated "public bathing" storefront, I saw a small alley, with a big white paint on the entrance of the alley to paint the word "demolition", and the horizontal point looked a bit hideous.
Looking into the dark alley, at first glance it seems that the road has come to an end, but when you walk in, you find that there is a small aisle that can only be passed by one person. When passing by, pay attention to the bottom of your feet, otherwise you will step on it and turn it over. The raised floor tiles and an unknown milky white substance stuck to the ground, and the green hairs grew tall.
A dirty plastic bag was hooked on the waste building materials in the corner, and a smell of public toilets reverberated in the small space, mixed with moisture, blowing towards her face, Su Qing turned up the collar of her windbreaker, carrying two A bottle of wine, a gift box, turned his head to avoid an open broken window, and turned to tell Qin Luo to be careful.
Qin Luo still didn't dare to look at him, nodded silently, and lowered his head to look at a small note in his hand - it was the address of their mysterious dead Dong Jianguo.
She didn't know that this city still has such a crowded place, those gray streets, winding and extending in all directions, full of crowded small bungalows, when the wind blows, the garbage moves with the wind, and there are barbecue stalls at the intersection Even though she had the address, she was still a little dizzy and could only follow Su Qing with her head sullen.
At this time, a woman in pajamas appeared on the other side of the path. She seemed to be in her forties or older, her withered and yellow hair was held up high with a plastic clip, and she was holding a garbage bin in her hand. The bag happened to meet Su Qing.
Su Qing's appearance can be considered very outstanding, the woman couldn't help but look at him more, the path can only be passed by one person, and the people on both sides are blocked, Su Qing turned her head and pointed at Qin Luo's back, signaling The two of them backed out and let the others out first.
The woman looked at the two of them hesitantly, showing a little vigilance in her eyes: "Who are you looking for?"
Su Qing said nothing, and signaled Qin Luo with his eyes that Utopia was probably planning some big move, and he had to make a report before the action. General Xiong made a special call to express his gratitude to the core team members who are now returning to the zero team. Satisfied, asked them to develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and develop in multiple ways, especially pointing out that comrade Qin Luo wanted to overcome his own shortcomings, so Su Qing, who was going to come out on his own, brought such a tail that only vented his breath and did not make a sound.
Qin Luo glanced at him in panic. With outsiders, Su Qing seemed a little more familiar. She finally dared to look at him, but it was a pity that Su Qing suddenly pretended to be interested in the upturned floor tiles under her feet, thinking it was just to say hello. What's more, the other party is a middle-aged woman, and she is not a handsome guy who is overwhelmed by the country. People dare not even take a look at her, so she made up her mind not to say a word.
She had no choice but to take a step forward and said softly, "You, hello... We want to find this person."
Qin Luo shook the note with Dong Jianguo's address in front of the woman, as if he was afraid that someone would be blown away by his loud voice.
The woman took the note and scanned it. When she raised her head, her expression became more cautious: "What are you doing? What are you looking for from him?"
Qin Luo didn't know what to say, and looked at Su Qing again awkwardly.
Su Qing said with a smile: "Sister, we are relatives in his hometown, so bring him something."
The woman frowned: "A relative in my hometown? His mother has been dead for several years, and there is only a brother who is a bit stupid in my hometown. I haven't heard of any other relatives."
Su Qing didn't answer, but looked her up and down first: "You are..."
The woman said: "I am Dong Jianguo's wife. I have met all relatives in his hometown, but I have never seen people like you."
Su Qing said "ah", turned her head to Qin Luo pretending to be surprised and said, "This is sister-in-law, I didn't realize it, she looks too young, she doesn't look like one at all."
Qin Luo opened his mouth, met Su Qing's eyes briefly, and found that his eyes were too sincere, so sincere that they didn't look like those who opened their eyes to talk nonsense, so they nodded silently.
The woman's face softened a little, and she even showed a slight smile. Su Qing went on to say, "Sister-in-law, you forgot, brother Jianguo and his third uncle's family still have a few cousins, and they haven't moved around for several years."
"What you're talking about..." The woman was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, she asked doubtfully, "Are you from my second cousin's family?"
"Isn't it from the second child's family!" Su Qing said without blushing, "It's no wonder that the sister-in-law doesn't know each other anymore, I was only this tall when you and brother Jianguo first got married, and I was still running around the streets in crotchless pants. "
The woman said "ah", and suddenly realized: "Yes, I have a little impression, your nickname is Xiaodong, right?"
Su Qingli said bluntly: "It's me, it's me, oops, hahaha, no one has called me by my nickname for several years!"
The Return to Zero team is a secret department, and neither the collection of evidence nor the investigation can alarm ordinary citizens. I am afraid that Dong Jianguo's body will only be notified to the family members after they have completed the investigation and passed some procedures to the public security organs. The general principle is that all actions are carried out in secret, and as a last resort, you can temporarily pretend to be the police, but there is no precedent for someone as brazen as Su Qing to the point of being unconventional.
The woman seemed to be relieved, her face completely relaxed, and she glanced at Qin Luo with a smile: "Then this is..."
"My daughter-in-law." Su Qing said nonsense.
Qin Luo felt a "hum" in his head, and his soul was blown out, and he poked there stupidly.
I heard Fang Xiu's "Aww" from the communicator, and joked with a little smile: "Su Qing, what's the matter with you? What should I do if she is your daughter-in-law? Anyway, we have to talk on a first-come, first-served basis, okay?"
Qin Luo's face was almost bleeding.
Hu Bugui interjected in a low voice: "Okay, Fang Xiu, have you finished checking your property? Su Qing, be careful when joking."
Each hit fifty big boards... Of course, judging from Hu's secret inner world, maybe it was mainly for hitting someone.
The woman let Su Qing and Qin Luo into the room quite enthusiastically. Su Qing put down the gift box and wine, exchanged some greetings, and then looked around: "Hey, sister, is my brother Jianguo here?"
"Not here, I went out to work for others." When the woman said this, Su Qing took a closer look at her expression, and found that her facial features had a tendency to stretch out, and her eyes lit up.
So he immediately went down the donkey: "Brother has the ability, who doesn't know."
The woman rolled her eyes with a smile, but she said, "What's your skill? You're just a hard worker. Look at this small room—"
Needless to say, Qin Luo has already noticed that the whole house is only about ten square meters, with a dilapidated sofa, a small 21-inch TV, a double bed in the corner, and a curtain drawn on the other side of the room. A "room" was separated, Qin Luo swept his eyes, and saw the anime poster faintly exposed behind the curtain, and remembered the information Xue Xiaolu gave said that Dong Jianguo had a daughter who was in middle school. Where the girl lives.
The woman pinned a lock of hair from the corner of her temples behind her ears, and said with a little show off: "But, we are going to move soon. We bought a house this year. Although it is not big, it looks good anyway. Sigh. , It’s better to stay in my hometown, it’s not easy to live in a big city.”
Hu Bugui has been paying attention to the movement on their side, and said softly in the communicator: "The financial situation of their family seems to have suddenly improved. Could it be that the human experiment in Utopia was voluntary?"
Su Qing immediately said: "What's so good about my hometown, I still have to come out to see the world, and we two are planning to join the eldest brother - sister, we are not outsiders, tell me the number, what do the eldest brother and the others do, how much can they earn?" ?”
Hu Bugui felt that the word "couple" was quite harsh, and wanted to reprimand him again, but he was afraid of interrupting his train of thought, so he endured it.
"Cough, let's do casual work, work for people everywhere, do whatever they ask you to do, and earn as much as you can, that's just a living."
As soon as Su Qing heard it, she knew that this woman was being narrow-minded. She was afraid of being targeted by poor relatives and would not tell the truth, so she pretended not to notice and took the topic away. But this woman is still quite strict-mouthed, and Su Qing tried several times but failed to find anything particularly valuable. Normally, he would still have time to spend with her, but Hu Bugui pressed her very hard. , if the other party is really conducting human experiments, it will be a big deal.
Just at this moment, the door opened, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl walked in, with earphones plugged in, wearing a fat and big school uniform, but with a bunch of rings on her wrists, if you look closely, you will see Found out she had nail polish on. After entering the door, he glanced at Su Qing and Qin Luo, turned around and went back behind his little curtain without even saying hello.
The woman's face was a little uneasy, and she yelled at her in a deep voice: "Xiao Jing, why are you so ignorant? Didn't you see anyone coming?"
The little girl had a stern face, as if she didn't hear. The woman stood up to teach her a lesson, Su Qing quickly stood up and grabbed her: "Sister, sister, don't be angry with the child." This is a typical case of menopause meeting puberty, a woman's face turns red, and her mouth starts to be dirty Get up, the girl slams the door curtain, non-violent non-cooperation.
Su Qing's heart turned, and she winked at Qin Luo: "Look, we came here today by accident, and the eldest brother is not here. When will he come back, or should we come back another day?"
The woman took a deep breath and suppressed the fire: "He comes back every two weeks. He just came back last week and put some money. I guess you have to wait until the middle of the month."
Su Qing said "ah": "How long has it been?"
The woman said, "It's inconvenient for him to come back. He's outside the Fifth Ring Road."
Su Qing showed a look of embarrassment, and muttered for a while: "Sister, can you see if this is okay? Tell me how to contact my elder brother. Let's go find him. It's really... urgent. Let me tell you the truth. , Xiaoluo and I are planning to go it alone, contracted a place, and plan to do business. We want to find a few people to join us—no need to pay, just do a little for us, and we will share dividends together. We have to ask our own relatives and friends to rest assured, don’t you think so?”
The woman was stunned: "Hey, you didn't say it earlier, what did you plan?"
Su Qing said: "We are planning to make building materials. We have negotiated about the supply store and so on, but there is a shortage of manpower. Doesn't the eldest brother have experience in this field? I think the fat will not flow to outsiders. If he is free, he will do it. Go to help, you can also be considered a boss, if you don’t have time, it’s good to recommend some friends to us, and they are also our own people.”
The woman responded a few times, "Building materials are for making money", rolled her eyes, grabbed a piece of paper, and wrote down an address and a series of landline numbers: "Or you can try this, I think he is doing this now, although Making money is not a long-term solution, and I'm still tired. When I came back last time, I saw his face turned pale."
Su Qing did all the acting, said polite words of thanks without missing a word, and heard their Dui Hu announce their praise in the communicator: "Well done." Then they left Dong Jianguo's house with Qin Luo one after the other with the note .
After turning two corners, Qin Luo suddenly grabbed Su Qing's clothes and made a quick gesture.
The eyes of this blushing woman suddenly became sharper, and she took out a suppressed pistol from her trouser leg very quickly, as if she didn't even need to aim, and fired three shots in a row—you can see why she was able to return to zero Team up, Qin Luo could only shoot without blushing, not only did he not blush, but he was also very clever.
At the same time, Su Qing climbed up the wall suddenly, and Hu Bugui immediately shouted: "Don't act without authorization, come back!"
Su Qing was selectively deaf, and said "you go first" to Qin Luo, without even taking her partner with her, and the figure disappeared after a few flashes.
