Chapter 42: Hotel Theft
This is 2008, my first time dealing with the PUP.
I realized that since last September, I have been repeatedly tangled up with them, constantly.
Can I say I'm unlucky? --Well, I'm unlucky, but of course this time, it was I who actively provoked them.
The police told me that Mr. Hu's family, whom I visited yesterday, had been killed, and the botanical garden had been destroyed for the most part, and there was also a plant worth millions of dollars stolen that night, which happened to be the one I went to him yesterday to inquire about, so I had some suspicions and needed to investigate to find out more about it. Two people explained the intention, asked can be investigated?
I said of course, this is the duty of every citizen.
The four of us went back to the room I had opened and then completed the investigation on the sofa. I stated that I had indeed gone to see Mr. Hu yesterday under the guidance of a friend, and that my purpose was also to see the ten-year soul-returning herb. But Mr. Hu hid it so tightly that he did not see it, and he declared yesterday that the plant was worth a million dollars and had been sold to a businessman from Japan. Having unsuccessfully offered to see the plant, I sent the friend back to Pengcheng, while I spent a day's shopping in Jiangcheng.
"Where were you at night? I mean between the hours of 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. this morning?"
Xiao Keming and I looked at each other for a moment, and the policeman who asked the question frowned and said Was there a need for collusion? I quickly shook my head and said no, no, how could that be. We went to the nearby XX nightclub last night and played until 4:30 in the morning before returning to the hotel. The police officer across from me was obviously a bit disbelieving, saying are you sure?
I said I'm sure, this next to me was also present.
He looked at me and Xiao Keming's sincere face, stroked his beard, asked in addition, there are no other witnesses?
I thought for a moment and said yes, it is the head of the security department of the xx nightclub Liu Ming.
He looked deeply at me, said we will go to the investigation, I said it's okay, despite the question, but declared in advance, we just go there to drink and sing k, other things did not do anything Oh? He did not believe, said bullshit, but still ended the conversation, next to the record responsible for the younger police officer handed over the record paper, let me browse through and sign. I swept a glance, there is no discrepancy, and then signed a "Lu Zuo", the interrogation of the police looked at my signature, said that the word is quite flamboyant and crazy.
I humbly, said I have not read a lot of books, but learned a few days of cursive, the back of the signature are working in the factory when writing reports practiced, in order to efficiency, inevitably some scribbling, do not see blame. He saw me say earnestly, nodded, said a xx nightclub that place, hide dirt, it is best to go less. Standing up, he shook my hand, said the investigation is basically over, the two days best not to leave Jiangcheng, to be with the pass.
I was anxious to go back to Dongguan to look for matching herbs and materials, where can wait for this day, so I said I can not take the liberty of asking a question, in the end what happened? I'm still in a hurry to go back to Dongguan to take care of my business. In addition, there are not many days and half a month will be the New Year, wandering away from home, always have to go home to see their parents, hanging around here is not such a thing ah?
He ignored me, only said let me wait, and then left with his assistant.
After the two left, Xiao Keming encouraged me to go together to see yesterday in the middle of the botanical garden inside that glass-covered room, in the end what monster. He said you have not seen a demon? That plaything red light to the sky, all over the place are children's corpses, raised a bunch of ghost dolls, absolutely is a demon. At this time is already more than 5 o'clock in the evening, the color of the sky late, I saw the nightfall, black, remembered that early this morning that piece of ghost dolls floating, expressionless look at me, red eyes are still saying "take me back to ......" and so on, the heart of the cold shiver, do not want to go. I don't want to go.
Just as Liu brother called over, talking about the dinner with his boss, Uncle Duan, so it was pushed to go back tomorrow.
At seven o'clock in the evening, in a box in one of the most famous seafood hotels in Jiangcheng, I and Hairy Xiaodao met the nightclub's behind-the-scenes boss, who is also Jiangcheng's very famous private entrepreneur Duan Tiande Duan uncle, accompanied by the nightclub's security supervisor Liu, the nightclub manager Yang Huai'an, as well as a face of stiff wood, play cool handsome man.
Uncle Duan was over fifty years old, his eyes gleaming, a typical image of a southern businessman, speaking in a loud and energetic voice, preferring to use gestures and not showing his joy and anger. He has always had a smile on his face, kind, friendly, but I know that in the busiest part of the city to be able to open up such a size of the nightclub, it must be a handful of characters, secretly keep an eye out. Into the seat, basically are the weeds Xiao Dao in socializing this old fox, I just eat food.
As mentioned earlier, I am a foodie, the love of food has exceeded the realm of ordinary people. But I'm not picky, porridge and savory also eat, mountain treasures and sea food also eat, especially love meat. The last time I ate please, is in the bureau of the old home just released, Ma Haibo and Yang Yu invited me to eat, then also was Huang Fei to get drunk, and then big fish and meat feast eaten a few times, are invited others. The face of this table lobster scallops, shark fins seafood, where I can control my hands and feet, in an instant, in front of the Australian big lobster in front of me was eliminated half of the, causing the Duan uncle and Yang manager, who were talking cordially with the miscellaneous small road, to constantly look sideways.
I do not care, only eat, because it is too delicious, I will tell them I have never eaten a big lobster in my life?
Well, spicy crawfish I did eat some, pulled a week of stomach (that was before there was a golden silkworm compulsion, and after that, I basically do not get sick except for injuries from sparring with people).
Hairy Xiaodao calmly chatting and drinking tea, his face is calm, as if he is a master of the Way, but his afterglow shamefully betrayed him - this guy constantly glanced at the hairy crabs in front of me, his throat slightly wriggling. He was also hungry, but only occasionally drinking soup, eating chopsticks of veggie broth, just to show his innocence. I laughed in my heart, saying that this guy is not even avoiding color, so what kind of big tail wolf is he pretending to be? --However, it seems that Taoist priests can get married and have children, which is much more humane than Buddhism, which has been reformed by Taoists.
In India, the birthplace of Buddhism, temples, it seems, also have a temple prostitute.
Talking about leisure and health, talking about sect heritage, talking about numerology, talking about drawing charms and reciting incantations, driving away ghosts and demons, praying for blessings and sacrifices ...... Miscellaneous Hair Xiao Dao end is a good eloquence, if this person is reincarnated in the United States of America, it is not possible to say that it is also necessary to mix with a congressman and other big people, Duan uncle knowledgeable, shrewd and decisive, but also difficult not to be attracted by him, often nodding. He and the others were all dazzled by the conversation, but only the cold-faced handsome man as usual calm. He is Uncle Duan's security assistant, like a former soldier, does not speak, but different from ordinary people. Later, Liu introduced me to him at the table, saying that he was a defector.
He glanced at me, his eyes sharp as knives, and just for a moment, coldness grew in the back of my spine.
He is a powerful character who has killed people and seen blood.
Halfway through the banquet, Uncle Duan turned towards me and asked me something about me. I only said that I was doing odd jobs with Master Xiao, learning to learn. He nodded and said Lu Zuo, you should not be presumptuous, Xiao Liu told me, your Taoism is still quite high.
After the banquet, I wiped my hand with oil and ate my stomach, which was raw and bracing. Uncle Duan and the hairy little Tao talked to each other very happily, very close, but he is a busy man, so agreed on a date, another day to talk about, he was accompanied by the man called Park Chi-Hsien, left first. As soon as Uncle Duan left, the small hairy man was relieved, asked by me to eat up the Australian lobster, can we serve another one, accompanied by Manager Yang and Liu naturally said no problem.
After the meal, the miscellaneous small road was invited to go to the nightclub again, while I excused myself and rushed back to the hotel to sleep.
Back to the room, walked in, luggage, bed, cabinets were rummaged through a scattered. I was shocked, someone actually came here to steal? I immediately called the hotel party, scolded what happened. Came to the manager of the housing department, also very surprised, and quickly asked me to lose what valuables did not, I checked, my wallet cell phone keys are portable, luggage are some clothes socks and facial cleanser, scattered and discarded, throw down did not lose anything.
He asked if he had offended anyone or lost anything.
I immediately thought of whether it was being watched, but also in the morning I was cautious enough to plant the ten years of soul grass in the park.
Who was it, the police?
No way, if they want to search, they would have just looked at it that afternoon, or secretly engaged in not letting me know, which is not better?
Could it be Hu Jinrong, the owner of the botanical garden? I haven't heard anything about him. Or maybe it's someone else? I no longer think, immediately dialed the afternoon that Officer Shen left me the number, to him about the theft. He said, after a while, the theft should be reported to the police, do not look for them, look for the neighborhood police station.
I'll be damned, this Shen police officer changed into the relevant departments.
He is really irresponsible!
I asked the manager of the guest room department if he could check the surveillance video in the hallway. He said yes, but we have to wait for the police to come over, I immediately quit, told him, you just say yes or no? OK, well, then we go to see who in the end stole; not, then I will give all the residents of this hotel to tell a hotel theft, you do not do things.
He decisively chose the first program, even said good, good.
We came to the monitoring room, access to information, the result is not a moment, their staff regretfully told us that the monitoring of the information was deleted ......
I sat on the sofa, closed my eyes, and felt as if there was a big net over my head, spreading toward me.
