I rushed into the room where the other apparatus was, scanned it twice, then moved out a small generator and shouted at the top of my lungs, “Rat!”
“Yes!”
“Give me a hand and take the motor out of the generator.”
“Captain, what the hell do you want?”
I said, “Take it apart, we’ll see about that later.”
Rat’s phone was quick, and in three or two clicks I had the motor off, and then I asked Haozi to help me install it on the ceiling. After I had finished, I connected the motor to the electricity, and the whole ceiling was vibrating like crazy, as if the ground was in formation.
Fox looked stunned and gave me a thumbs up, “Captain, you’re still the best.”
I said, “Come on, let’s all go downstairs today and leave this room empty. That stupid b*tch upstairs is playing hardball with me, so let’s teach her a lesson.”
No sooner had our group gone out than Auntie Curly from upstairs came rushing down, pointing at my face and cursing, “Little brute, you shameless thing, what are you doing in the house?!”
“Oh, auntie, take your time and enjoy yourself.”
I turned my head to go into the lift, but my aunt tugged me by the sleeve: “You’re not allowed to leave! Are you lacking in virtue? Now our house is like a ground formation, how can you make us live?!”
The fox pushed her away, “Who was the first to be unethical?”
Auntie wouldn’t let go, grabbing me and refusing to let go: “You’re hurting yourself, I’ll just play the music for a while, and then turn it off after I take a nap. But you’re making so much noise, and now that you’re all out, how long are you going to keep it up?”
I almost laughed at that, “You know how to do harm to others, don’t you? I thought you weren’t reasonable at all. That’s strange, when you were tormenting us, when you were tormenting our previous tenants, why didn’t you think about what you were doing was too much? When you torment us, it’s reasonable, when we torment you, it’s to the detriment of others. How come all the good things in the world are yours?”
With a shake of my hand, I broke free from her grip.
Auntie really panicked this time, knowing that she had hit a hard target, she softened her tone and said, “Young man, Auntie is angry. I have an axe to grind with that old man Lu, and I’ve taken revenge on your head. Look, auntie has small children at home, and my son works at night and has to catch up on his sleep later. Auntie, please, can you turn it off? Can we reconcile?”
I cupped my chin and said, “Oh, your son has to go to bed later.”
“Yes, yes, yes, young man, we don’t fight, let’s forget about it.”
I hemmed and hawed, “That’s not in time, I won’t be turning that thing off for the next few days. Your son is probably going to be seriously sleep deprived. See ya.”
I gave her a gentle push out the door and pressed the lift door before she rushed in again. Auntie was so angry she was screaming outside, but it was no use her screaming.
You have to use extraordinary tactics with people like this, and if you’re particularly polite to her, she’ll just think you’re easy to bully.
Everyone in the lift laughed so loudly that their stomachs hurt.
Anyway, I’m not going to turn off this floor shaker today, so that the curly-haired aunt can feel what it means to be a real “bad neighbour”.
The room downstairs was originally rented by Blackie, but after Blackie was caught by us, the rent wasn’t due anyway, so we and Chu Xiaoxiao sorted it out and lived there, and now that Chu Xiaoxiao has gone back, it can be used as a second base for Snow Leopard.
Finding Jiang Yunqing to ask for information would be about impossible, so I still focused on He Zhitian.
I couldn’t wait any longer, so I called Qi Xiaowei in the afternoon and asked him if he could arrange a meeting between me and He Zhitian.
“Brother Zhang, Bureau Qi is out. Now the police force has changed, the boss has been sent down to the gra*sroots police station, but I am fine, I was just reinstated. The other people who used to follow the boss were all suspended and investigated. I’m afraid you’ll have to push that.”
“How could it be so soon?!” I was surprised and said to Qi Xiaowei, “Wait a minute, I was inquiring about it.”
Although Qi was not originally in our capture plan, he was an uncompromisingly black cop, so what in God’s name was the point of not arresting him?
I made a direct phone call to the old man and asked why Bureau Qi had been released.
The old man said in a deep voice: “You only use to shut down the gun trafficking case, and mind less about the rest.”
“Old man you don’t have to talk to me in an official way. For this gun trafficking case, several of my buddies have offended this Qi Bureau badly, and now the one surnamed Qi has been released instead, how can I explain to my buddies if I don’t figure it out?!”
The old man sighed, “Well, then I can only tell you the truth. You had nothing to do with him being released.”
I froze for a moment, and it took me a while to come back to my senses and say, “Don’t put everything on me, what’s going on?”
“Is Liu Rong a director of a company under your name?”
“And what does Ryu Rong have to do with it?”
“Oh, your hometown of Tong City is not a big place, but the demonic wind is not small. There were already people running for this Qi long ago, trying to get him released, but they were all suppressed from above. You reported that he colluded with the triad forces, this matter lacks physical evidence, so the task force is investigating his embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds. He embezzled seventy million dollars of public money, and before we were about to take evidence, someone took seventy million dollars to make it up for him.”
I sucked in a breath of cold air, “How is that possible?!”
“We checked where the money came from and it came out from under Liu Rong’s account. Now the public money has been replenished and someone is campaigning for him to be bailed out. We couldn’t lock him up even if we wanted to.” The old man said, “According to my investigation, this Liu Rong and the surnamed Qi had no previous dealings. Except for a little ……”
“They are both my enemies.” I said helplessly.
“Exactly.”
When I hung up the old man’s phone, my whole body was disheveled.
Qi Bureau had been released, then I hadn’t finished avenging Sun Qiaoqiao’s death. Apart from Shi Sheng, Zhang Mei and Qi Bureau, were both the murderers of Sun Qiaoqiao, but now Qi Bureau had run away.
I wanted to tell Qi Xiaowei about the situation, but after pressing my finger several times, I finally only pressed Xia Gehuai’s mobile phone number.
Xia Gehuai was in a stable mood and joked that he was now a goblin being beaten back to its original form, coming from the police station and going back to the police station.
“Come out for a drink, it’s on me.” I said.
In the end, it was still my fault that Xia Gehuai would be like this, and helping me he had offended Qi Bureau.
“Not today, I’m in Lower Mountain County now.”
“What? Why did you go there?” I was surprised, “Aren’t you at the basic police station?”
“Isn’t that the gra*sroots? Qi said I couldn’t do the job, so he sent me to Xiaoshan County with a wave of his hand.”
Xiaoshan County was one of the poorest counties in Tong City, and there was no bus service in that area, only cattle cars could get in.
This kind of devolution was even more excessive than directly dismissing Xia Gehuai!
“Old Xia ……”
Xia Gehuai said, “Don’t rush to mourn for me first, do you have anyone else with you, I have an important message to tell you.”
“No.” I looked around, no one was paying attention to me, “Go ahead.”
Hagar Wai said, “Guess who I saw here? Your Uncle Han Kun.”
I laughed dryly, “I’ve already had a showdown with him, we’ve both spoken on the phone.”
“No! I thought it would be strange to see him at the time, and then the old police officer who took me asked me if I knew him and said this guy comes to the resort here every year.”
“There’s a resort in Lower Hill County?”
“That’s what I thought, so I asked the old policeman. The old policeman said he didn’t remember any resorts either, but Han Kun said he was going to get one. The point is, I remembered you saying that Han Kun goes to Denmark every year, so I checked his immigration records out of sheer curiosity. He did go to Denmark …… last July and August,” Xia Gehuai said nervously, “but he bought a packet of cigarettes at a kiosk in Ha Shan County on July 15 last year, when the old police officer was standing right next to him and the two of them had a few words. ”
“Could there be a mistake?”
“No way, that day was the old police officer’s birthday, no one would remember their birthday wrong. What does Han Kun come to Ha Shan County for every year?”
Xia Gehuai put me on the spot, huh, I didn’t know what Han Kun was doing there every year either.
Han Kun is a mystery, he won’t tell me anything, and he won’t let me find out anything.
