Turning around, Taozi took out a cigarette and handed it to the strong man.
"I'm sorry, sister, I apologize to you."
Her tone sounded like that of a neighbor's sister, not even remotely ferocious.
Tao Zi lit a cigarette for him with her own hands and said to the outside: "Go and add some money to the account. I will give you three days off. I will pay you for it."
A slap in the face and a sweet date are not clever methods.
But it's a bit rare for Taozi to let go of her local bully figure and master this old routine.
When everything was settled, Taozi turned to look at me: "People brought it."
"You..." I hesitated: "Can you go out? I'll ask her something alone."
"cannot."
Taozi simply rejected me: "I want to ensure her safety."
"good."
The girl in front of me is very thin, with bewitching heavy makeup on her face. At a quick glance, she looks completely different from the one in the photo.
It was really hard to find her.
I hesitated for a while, then slowly said, "What do you call it?"
"No. 67."
"I asked for the name."
The girl lowered her eyebrows, glanced at Tao Zi, and whispered, "Chen Wei."
"Okay, Chen Wei."
Her parents gave her a name, not a number. This is the respect she deserves.
"Zhang Hanshan, do you know him?"
Hearing this name, Chen Wei's eye makeup was very thick, and her eyelashes almost completely covered her eyes.
I couldn't see her eyes clearly, but I saw that her blinking speed was obviously faster.
However, what was waiting for me was her flat-out denial: "I don't know."
This tiny detail is tantamount to telling her that she is lying.
Of course, I also know that if a person is sincere and refuses to speak, torture may not be effective.
Especially when she wants to keep some secrets.
I didn't argue too much with her, I just stood up slowly and smiled pretending to be relaxed.
"Look at the look in my eyes. I can find the wrong person to report my funeral. Sorry to bother you."
After saying that, I gave Xiaomei a look, turned around and left.
One step, two steps, three steps...
The moment I left the room, a voice suddenly shouted from behind me: "Wait a minute!"
I put my hand on the door handle and turned around to look, "Is something wrong?"
"You..." Chen Wei's eyelashes trembled quickly: "Did you just say that he was dead?"
"He's not dead, but he won't last long."
Seeing that I was about to leave, Xiaomei grabbed me from behind and said, "I know you!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
I looked her up and down: "When I came this time, Zhang Hanshan asked me to do three things. One is to report the funeral, and the other is to ask for money."
"The most important thing is that he asked me to take the girl to meet him."
Chen Wei looked at her toes and nodded vigorously: "I'm sure, it's me."
Taozi suddenly walked up to me and glanced at me up and down: "Aren't you here about Chen Qi?"
My eyes always stayed on Chen Wei, and I responded to Tao Zi: "I can't tell for a while, but you just know I'm not a liar."
Chen Wei bit her lip and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Hanshan, where are you now?"
"Not in Monan."
I hesitated for a long time and lowered my voice: "So, what is your relationship?"
Chen Wei looked up at me, her tone a little more wary: "Why do you ask this?"
I pretended to have a profound look on my face and raised my voice a lot: "I want to prove it."
"This is a person's dying wish. I don't dare to be rude. I must verify my identity."
I prayed silently in my heart that her relationship with Zhang Hanshan was the key to my solution.
Once Zhang Hanshan collapses, there will be no one around Chen Changming, and I can legitimately go to the core of Chen Changming.
Chen Wei seems to be an inconspicuous little person, but in fact, she is the core of this domino.
Chen Wei was stunned for a while, then timidly said: "I am his fiancée!"
Chen Wei finally gave me the answer I wanted most!
Before she finished speaking, she was already crying into tears.
I calmed down and looked up at Taozi: "You heard it just now. She is going to see her fiancé for the last time. This..."
"Go ahead."
Taozi sat on a chair and smoked a cigarette calmly: "I'm not that unkind."
"But, let's start with the dirty talk." Taozi dusted off the cigarette ashes: "I'll give you a day off. If you don't come back after the deadline, it will be counted as absenteeism."
At this point, Chen Wei didn't make any conditions at all, just dropped a sentence.
"Wait for me, I'll be right back."
