Chapter 18 Eighteen Cao Nan's first narration
Shao Changshui brought Cao Nan back to No. 88 Longwan Road to talk.He likes that environment.When it gets dark, the courtyard, old trees and a few old-fashioned small buildings that are basically uninhabited give people a sense of oppression and emptiness.The virtual but ubiquitous "oppression", the real but somewhat elusive "emptiness": wandering between these two seemingly mutually exclusive feelings of existence, Shao Changshui can taste the one he is most familiar with Feeling of life: the kind of feeling of life that I got in the forest area in the big ravine when I was young: "oppression" and "helplessness" caused by distance and silence, the "emptiness" and "transcendence" also caused by distance and silence .These "oppressions" and "helplessness" made him feel inferior, while those "emptiness" and "transcendence" made him full of longing and passion for the new world outside the mountains that he had never set foot in.He has been struggling with this kind of inferiority complex and longing: he is afraid, he trembles, he wants to get rid of it, but misses it...
On the way to bring Cao Nan back to No. 88, Longwan Road, he noticed that Cao Nan looked sad, maybe because of nervousness, her hands were placed on his knees stiffly.This sitting posture reminds Shao Changshui of some prisoners in the detention center. They have been used to wearing handcuffs and other devices for a long time, and occasionally remove them for them, and they will habitually put their hands and legs together. Sitting there close: her face was a little pale, and her eyes were fixed on the front.But you can clearly feel that her eyes are empty.She looked forward, just to avoid Shao Changshui's scrutinizing gaze: But at this moment, she didn't see anything, and even her mind was blank: on her back, there were slight tremors from time to time... The trembling that involuntarily came from the heart... one after another...
After entering the room, she sat silently holding a teacup for a long time before she was able to calm herself down a bit.Before starting to tell the story, she slightly flicked the scattered locks of hair that "floated" on her forehead, took a serious look at Shao Changshui, and asked, "Will you believe what I told you? "
Shao Changshui smiled lightly and said, "My only possible answer is that I will believe you when you tell the truth. And those who tell us lies will definitely end badly."
A trace of regret quickly flashed across her eyes, as if she was regretting that she would take the initiative to come to talk to such a person.But this remorse is as fleeting as it comes in a flash.As soon as she started talking, she became very calm and confident again.And no longer tremble.On her pretty melon-seeded face, a faint blush will naturally appear on the delicate skin.You don't need to get too close, and you can smell an indescribable fragrance from the nape of her hair and the creases of her clothes.This made Shao Changshui faintly confused and terrified.Shao Changshui had a "strange problem" when he was young. If he fell in love with a girl, he would always smell that indescribable fragrance from her.Even if the other party obviously didn't put on any scented "paint", he always felt that she was very fragrant.At that time in the big valley, who would have the spare money to buy cosmetics such as balm and powder for the girl? But he could smell the fragrance from them—as long as she was the one he liked.Because of this, he had many misunderstandings before he realized that only the type of girls (or female teachers) he likes, he would feel that their breath is fragrant.And there is always such an inexplicable fragrance that makes his heart beat and brain heat up and his whole body swell.
How could I smell such a fragrance from Cao Nan today?
Did he fall in love with this little girl?
No way.I've never thought of it that way before.Besides, I have been doubting her all this time, none of the doubts about her have been clarified yet, so how can I talk about the word "like"? But the fragrance is obvious.And it's that kind of "unexplainable smell".The kind that is very familiar and yet very strange... What happened? For a moment, he really felt a little flustered. He hurriedly got up to make a cup of tea for himself, moved the chair a little farther away, and opened the door again. Half a window let in some cool evening breeze, which completely eliminated the inexplicable feeling.After hesitating and pondering for quite some time.Cao Nan put down the teacup in her hand, straightened her upper body, looked at Shao Changshui with a very candid gaze, and began her narration.
She said to Shao Changshui, I know you have been doubting me.Since that early morning, I stopped you under the poplar tree in front of Director Li Min's house.You start to doubt me.Speaking of which, what happened that morning was really a bit reckless.I shouldn't have been there.But for a while, his head was hot, and he didn't control himself, showing a big timidity.Afterwards, you probably started following me from time to time.That time in the small courtyard of Father Qi's house at the west entrance of Consulate Road.Actually, I saw you coming.I didn't say anything on the spot.He did not tell Father Qi afterwards.I don't think I've done anything wrong, so there's no need to panic.Also, I think it's time for me to be more mature.Now, many things are no longer up to our generation whether we are willing or not, so we have been placed at the forefront and forced us to get involved.I hope that I can be calm and calm, and less likely to make some short-term hot-headed mistakes.certainly.Compared with you old-timers, although we cannot say that we are ignorant.But it is indeed not sophisticated enough, it always looks immature... Shao Changshui asked with a smile, am I very old? Both can be counted."Old senior"? Cao Nan blushed slightly and said, "I'm talking about an old senior".It refers to it in general.Don't be so serious with me. Shao Changshui smiled again, no seriousness.Not serious.Please go on.The faint blush quickly faded from Cao Nan's face.He lowered his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and stared at the already dark corner of the room.He paused for a while, probably searching and picking up the words interrupted by Shao Changshui in his mind; after a while.She continued, since you have already begun to doubt me.Why didn't you come to me? You looked for this, that, and finally my dad, and that Shou Taiqiu.The judge didn't come to see me.Why? Think I'm not worth your skills? If I'm so worthless then why are you stalking me?
(At this time, Shao Changshui really wanted to take the opportunity to explain this unnecessary "stalking" to her clearly, but seeing that she was completely immersed in his role of "narrator", he felt that it would be better not to interrupt her at this moment , so I didn’t insert words in the middle.)
Cao Nan said, in fact, I have been waiting for you to come to me, and I thought you would definitely come to me.After waiting for such a long time, from early spring to late spring, it is already summer, so I think I should take the initiative.No matter who is looking for whom, there is only one purpose: to solve the problem.I know you will take everything I say with serious reservations.You wouldn't believe that a "little girl" like me could grasp some important inside information about such a big event.I am afraid that I will also be extremely skeptical about my initiative to talk about my own father's situation.I am afraid of being suspicious by you, which is also an important reason why I have not dared to come to you for a long time.If you are suspected, if you are not trusted, then everything is meaningless.
"Will you believe what I say?" At this point, she suddenly asked again, and her face became very pale and uneasy again; for a moment, her chin, which was originally relatively sharp, became even sharper. The tip of the nose, which was relatively pointed before, became even more pointed at this time.
Shao Changshui did not answer her questioning.Based on his experience dealing with some of the people involved in the case for many years, he knows that some of them have been in a psychological predicament of anxiety, confusion, despair and tension for a long time, and subconsciously develop a kind of autism, low self-esteem and suspicion, and even mania and depression. Phenomenon.According to folklore, these people love to dig into dead ends.If you refute him head-on at this time, or compete with them tit-for-tat, even if you really want to comfort them and correct them, it will only aggravate their suspicion and mania.At this time, a peaceful look, a cup of common tea, or a cheap cigarette, or even casually handing over a piece of freshly baked sweet potato, or a long or short silence...may make people feel peaceful. everything eases up...
Cao Nan took a symbolic sip of water, then stroked the strands of black hair that had "fallen" to his forehead again.Only then did Shao Changshui realize that she was still wearing a cotton sweater under the already twenty-three or four-degree temperature.This made him wonder whether the paleness of her face was due to her anxiety, or more importantly, her physical weakness? "Let's talk about the substantive issues first, and then explain my relationship with these things and these people. Okay?" she asked in a daze.
"It's up to you. What to talk about, how to talk about it, everything is up to you." Shao Changshui replied gently.Although I had known her long ago in the deserted and warm environment of the district library, I had never had a long talk with her face to face, so I had never observed her so closely. (At this time, the inexplicable fragrance came around slightly from far and near.) Shao Changshui noticed that there was a mole on the tip of her left eyebrow. Because it was covered by her eyebrows, she didn't look close. Not easy to see.There is also the same mole on the upper right corner of her lip.This was something he had noticed long ago.He couldn't remember how the ancient fortune books and the various sayings circulated among the people evaluated these moles on women's faces.He just felt that with the addition of such moles, her entire appearance became richer and more complex.And it has a strange undertone. (Is his feeling also caused by the subtle influence of those fate books and folk sayings? But Shao Changshui considers himself a firm and thorough atheist. He never believes in these "nonsense".)
"I don't know what nonsense my dad and Shou Taiqiu told you. I don't think you will tell me what they said to you. But there are two points that I want to tell you emphatically, and I also consider coming Think about it, and decide to take the initiative to talk to you about the important reasons. These two points, they will definitely not tell you: if these two points are explained, they will become worthless in front of you. So they themselves are No. First, they will beat around the bush and try every means to convince you that Uncle Lao was mentally abnormal in the later period of Taurigan: like some people in the society, they create such public opinion in order to It makes people believe that Uncle Lao was murdered. The only purpose of all their words and deeds is to cover up the fact that Uncle Lao was murdered. Second, two or three months before Uncle Lao died, they and Uncle Lao The relationship between Uncle and Uncle is very stiff. Uncle Lao found that they had deceived him on some important issues..."
"What, what, your father and Shou Taiqiu cheated Master Lao?"
"Yes. They cheated and betrayed Uncle Lao = they broke Uncle Lao's heart. Uncle Lao didn't want to see them at all after that. This state continued until the day of the accident and has not been relieved and improve."
Shao Changshui hesitated for a moment, then asked: "But. According to a situation we have, Mr. Lao specifically mentioned the relationship between him and your father in a written material he left behind, and according to his description in that material , the relationship between him and your father is not only not as bad as you said, but also quite harmonious and intimate."
Cao Nan immediately replied: "Then please quickly find out when he wrote this material. I can tell you this responsibly. If Uncle Lao still says that in this material, then I will I am sure that this material must not be written by him before the accident. Just a few days before the accident, in order to ease the relationship between him and Uncle Lao, my dad asked me to find Uncle Lao for him, and wanted to make an appointment together again. To explain away some of his so-called 'misunderstandings'. But Uncle Law told me to tell my dad, forgive me. There was no misunderstanding at all. Everything is clear. Therefore, there is absolutely no need to meet again."
While listening to Cao Nan's narration, Shao Changshui thought: From this point of view, the technical appraisal from the Ministry of Public Security is still accurate.Mr. Lao's "ciphertext" was written a few months before the incident.It seems that his relationship with those mentioned in the "ciphertext" list has indeed changed since then.The situation provided by Cao Nan seems to be reliable.
"Uncle Lao went to Taoligen to investigate a provincial leader..." Cao Nan continued.
"It seems that you really have a lot of information that you shouldn't be in control of." Shao Changshui couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Please don't have any doubts about me, and don't have any worries about me. This will affect your mood and seriousness when listening to my narration. As for how I got to know these situations, how did I get involved with these people and It came in the middle of the matter... I will explain it to you one by one later." Cao Nan pleaded earnestly, "In the early stage of the investigation, he did receive great help from my father and Shou Taiqiu. My father and our Cao family My father must have told you about the situation in detail. As long as you find my father, or any middle-aged person in our old Cao family, you will find a local history and local chronicles of Taurigan. And find Shou Taiqiu, you have found the key to the success story of Governor Gu and Deputy Mayor Zhu, as well as Rao Shangdu, a big upstart and a typical contemporary Chinese reckless hero. The young Shou Taiqiu was once influenced by these three people The high level of trust. These three people all like and value Shou Taiqiu very much, and they are all vying to recruit Shou Taiqiu to their own sect, and even want to train him to be their successor..."
"Does Master Lao know about this situation?" Shao Changshui asked.
"I know. Of course I know."
"He knew about this situation, so why did he go to Shou Taiqiu to investigate the situation of that leader?" Shao Changshui carefully concealed the word "Gu Liyuan".
"This is where Shou Tai seeks brilliance and cunning: he used a series of false appearances to gain Uncle Lao's trust, thinking that he could act out of public interest on these issues and insist on a minimum principled position. But in fact He is not such a person, and it would be difficult for him to really do this. He deceived Uncle Lao intentionally or unintentionally, and broke Uncle Lao’s heart..." Cao Nan repeated this conclusion, and when he came to this point , she was a little excited, a flush-like flush appeared on her pale cheeks: beads of sweat began to ooze slightly from the tip of her small nose.Those soft and black locks "flowed" to her full forehead again.Shao Changshui realized that if he continued to talk, he might touch on substantive issues. In order to make this "little girl" speak more systematically and comprehensively, he hoped that she would calm down; so he picked up the thermos bottle and poured it into her tea cup to continue He ordered some boiling water, and said with concern: "Drink some water. Let's talk after drinking some water."
"Thank you." She said, standing up slightly.Put two not slender, but well-proportioned and white fingers on the table near the teacup.Tapped lightly twice.This kind of completely secular gesture of gratitude is something Shao Changshui is used to, so he should not take it seriously.But today I saw Cao Nan doing this.And doing it so naturally and skillfully, for some reason, it made him feel a little "uncomfortable".He was worried that she would casually light a lady's cigarette like some girls, and puff away carelessly: fortunately, she didn't.But the goodwill that has gradually increased since the beginning of the conversation was still affected a little.
"Let me first talk about how my father deceived Uncle Lao and how he disappointed Uncle Lao. It can be said that without my father's help, Uncle Lao will encounter great difficulties and resistance when he first arrived in Taurigan. Ten times and twenty times. Although it is still not impossible to gain a foothold, at least it will add a lot of trouble to the old man out of thin air More detached and more open-minded: Open-mindedness is a fact. But it’s not the case for excessive taxes. Taurigan people are very cliquey and xenophobic. If someone tells you that the people there are bold, enthusiastic, generous, and very loyal, that is It is said that they are indeed like this among acquaintances, friends, and township parties. But they are wary of strangers, and even deceive them. In the past ten years, due to the opening of border trade, a large number of foreigners The influx of people has contributed to the prosperity of Taurigan, and also brought benefits to the Taurigan people. In terms of 'exclusive' and 'foreign avoidance', the Taurigan people have already restrained and changed significantly. Because of this, The people of Taurigan have a particularly complicated feeling for that foreign "upstart" Rao Shang. They look down on him, but secretly admire him, fear him, and hate him. Of course, they look down on him because he has a criminal record, because he The restless first half of his life without any official status. Needless to say the reasons for admiring him. He has the kind of fiery energy that the Taurigans especially lack, the kind of doing things The drive to move forward bravely and recklessly, the kind of madness that Lao Tzu is the best in the world and the tenacity to never give up if he does not make a name for himself. This kind of energy, when you are used to leisure, used to being remote, and asked in a year There are always half a year in the "Maodong", who also think that they are used to falling behind, and they really look for it with a magnifying glass, but they can't find it. The few major things that Rao has done in Taurigan, It is indeed obvious to all. The first commercial city built in the city center, the first large-scale amusement and leisure center, the first residential area, the first pedestrian overpass... and the first building that made Taurigan famous at home and abroad The border trade activities... are all his 'masterpieces', leaving behind the means, traces, figure and roar of this guy. Some people say that without Gu Liyuan, there would be no Taurigan today. This seems to be an 'absolute truth'. But there are also People say that Taurigan would not be where he is today without Rao Shangdu. This seems to be quite reasonable. The most realistic sentence is that because there is a person like Rao Shangdu who is "stirring" here, Taurigan This pool of "dead water" is so turbulent that it has a more vivid and grand momentum. And this is unlikely to be achieved by the Taurigans themselves, "at least they have to linger in silence and loneliness for a longer time For a while." As for the reason for being afraid of him, it is more conceivable. When Rao Shangdu used to do "famous dog" business on the other side of the boundary river, he often wore a squirrel fur coat with a mink collar and a pair of The high leather boots of the tank soldiers in the former Soviet Union, wearing a Suharto-style straight Karaka black lambskin hat, leading two German black-backed dogs as tall as half a person, followed by two Uzis do notg bodyguard.The bodyguard was either holding a baseball bat in his hand, or waving a slender and hard golf club, walking through the countless dog stalls by the river.As long as someone runs a famous dog without his permission and infringes on his market share and authority, he will definitely smash their stalls, confiscate their dogs, and even kill the stall owners. Leave an indelible and unforgettable 'trace'.These are, of course, past memories.Ever since this man became the CEO of Far East Shengtang International Technology and Trade Group Company, a member of the Taurigan City Political Consultative Conference, and Gu Liyuan's most effective partner in launching and implementing the plan of 'creating a new Taurigan', he has long Throw away the boots of the former Soviet tank soldiers.You can even say that.Now, the foul language and nasty words heard from Rao Shangdu's mouth are much less than what can be heard from the mouths of those township chiefs and some writers, directors, and performing arts stars.Tsukuda, don't think that he won't deal with you when necessary.He will be lenient, 'Amitabha': someone built a small commodity market near the commercial city he built that year, and the scale was not small, which obviously formed competition and 'threat' to his commercial city.If five years ago, he would definitely lead someone to rush over with a big stick = but now he won't do it.After some operations, he came up with a strange trick, buying the 'naming rights' of all the bus stations in front of the small commodity market, and then moved all these stations away from that market, and moved them to the vicinity of his own commercial city, directly taking Yike All brought to their own commercial city, effectively reducing the source of customers in the small commodity market.Then the leaders of the fire department, sanitation and epidemic prevention departments were mobilized, and they were forced to suspend their business for rectification on the grounds that the small commodity market had serious fire hazards and sanitation hazards, which greatly hurt their vitality...
"Shangdu such a Rao, without the support of Yi Liyuan, will definitely not be able to survive. People have reason to ask, why do you, Gu Liyuan, support this Rao so desperately? You can't get money from the Taoligen Bank. I can't get a loan, but he can borrow as much as he wants. The state-owned banks in Taurigan are like his family's private treasury. Of course people have to ask. Gu Raozhi How did such an iron relationship form between them?
"Not long after Uncle Lao arrived in Taurigan, he heard that Rao Shangdu had given Gu Liyuan a diamond ring weighing more than 100 carats. It is said that when Rao Shangdu was the poorest, he used his The last fortune was won from an African tourist. The African tourist lost this priceless diamond ring, and at the same time lost his last valuable thing, the travel expenses back to his hometown in Africa There was no way to find it, and then he jumped into the boundary river between Vashensk and Taurigan, and committed suicide. It is said that so far, the largest diamond ring in the world, only 156 carats, was owned by the British royal family. I have it. Then this diamond ring with more than 100 carats should be called a rare treasure. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or something predetermined. After getting this diamond ring, the fate of Rao Shangdu really happened. After a 180-degree turn, he has been "prosperous" since then, so he regards it as his "God of Fortune", the star of destiny. According to folklore, when he gave the diamond ring to Gu Liyuan, he also said such a sentence Well, if there's anything fairy about this ring, it's better to keep it with you than with me. If it stays with me, it protects me alone, but stays in your hand, bless If your development is guaranteed, you will be able to bless a group of people like me. Then let it play a greater role, my comrade mayor. (At that time, Gu Liyuan was only the mayor of Taurigan, no one Secretary.) But there is another saying that Gu Liyuan didn't want the ring, and not only "threw" the ring back to Rao Shangdu on the spot, but also severely "sweared" Rao, saying, look at your talent Jin, how much work has you done, and you just want to bless this and bless that?! Let me be an honest man with your tail between your legs. Don’t hold on to such a broken ring, get me into trouble!' Broken... Broken ring..." Rao was anxious when he heard it, and he stuttered a little, "Broken ring? Do you know how much this one hundred carats is worth? Change another owner, and give me a million dollars. Maybe they didn't even sneak a glance at him." That's why I said you are not very promising.What's wrong with a million?" I heard that Gu Liyuan turned around and left after saying this, leaving Rao Shangdu to stand there by himself for a long time, without thinking about Mayor Gu's phrase 'no prospect'. What does it mean? Does it mean "It's good to buy him as the mayor for only a mere one million, I don't know how high the sky is" or "Just for this mere one million, it may ruin their great future in the future, It's not worth it'? Or is it "the fighting, friendship and revolutionary relationship between the two should never be mixed with such a thing as money, no matter how much money there is, it's not necessary"?
"Did Gu Liyuan take this ring? Uncle Lao thinks it should be made clear.
"With the help of my father, he quickly made it clear that Gu Liyuan did not take it. He also found two witnesses: one is Rao Shangdu's former assistant and the other is Rao Shangdu's current assistant. The guy is very shrewd. He changes his personal assistants every one or two years. He never lets any 'outsiders' know the secrets of his work and business for a long time. The former assistant once listened to Rao after the incident Everyone told him how Gu Liliang refused to accept the ring on the spot, and saw with his own eyes how Gu Liliang locked the ring back in the safe. The current assistant saw it again recently. Everyone has taken the ring out of the safe, proving that it has been kept by him all along.
"There is another matter that must be fully understood. That is, Rao Shangdu acquired a large piece of land by the river at a price several times lower than the market price, and obtained loans of several hundred million yuan from several state-owned commercial banks in Taoligan. At the same time, Yi Liyuan got two villas from Rao Shangdu. One is in a high-end villa area near the Beijing Capital Airport, and the other is in the former British Concession in Shanghai. It is said that the totality of the two villas is The price is as high as RMB 20 to 30 million. The one in Shanghai was purchased entirely in U.S. dollars. If we say that the ring incident happened in the early days of Gu Liyuan’s tenure as mayor of Taurigan City, there are two completely There are different opinions, then. The villa incident that happened in Gu Liyuan’s later period as the secretary of the Taurigan City Party Committee and mayor is almost unanimous. There is no other way to say: Gu must have taken this villa. Rao Shangdu even made a special trip to accompany Gu Liyuan. I have seen these two villas in two places. According to some people who know the inside story, this matter is done relatively secretly, and he knows how to protect Gu Liyuan: Yi Liyuan’s name is not written on the house deed = According to Beijing Some people engaged in real estate sales intermediaries said that in some early-developed villa areas in Beijing, you can find many such "haunted houses". From the book, they have already been sold, and the registration procedures have also been completed, and some people come here regularly We paid property management fees for it, but no one came to decorate and live in it. These small buildings have been in the dark since they were sold. Weeds are growing wildly, and the downpipes are rusted. The rust water has stained the adjacent walls, and the walls have been mottled and peeled off. It is said that some of these house owners have left the country, and it is hard to say when they will come back, or whether they will come back; some of them were bought by wealthy businessmen from other places as gifts to local authorities. The reason why they are vacant is that some of them are Because those in power did not dare to use it. Some of them did not wait for them to use it. When things were revealed, people were punished by "shuanggui", and there was no chance to use it again.
"It can be said that Uncle Lao thought of going to the Far East Shengtang Company in Rao Shangdu to find a job just to find out about this matter. In order to get the real situation from inside them that can't be obtained outside.
"It was my dad who was the bridge between Uncle Lao and Shang Rao. During that time, Shang Rao often came to my house to find my dad. He wanted to persuade my dad to use the old trademark of 'Cao Buquan Winery' Transferred to him to operate: "The winery has not been very prosperous these years, and you, the old man, don't have the energy to toss about those messy things. You can make a price, and I will do a good deed for you." We Taurigan left an old signboard with golden letters. What else are you reluctant to do? Instead of letting it be retting in your old hands, it is better to let me make it shine again.' This guy is also because of his deep pockets. So arrogant and straightforward. My dad took the opportunity to introduce Uncle Lao to him. Of course, he didn’t use his own gold-lettered signboard to exchange with Rao Shangdu.’ Let me be elusive about the transfer of the brand name. No matter what , This is also the last thing left by my ancestors. I can't toss it anymore. Will my daughter be able to toss it in the future? I'm afraid it will be difficult. Who should I give it to? I have to weigh it? Let me put it in your place first One person. Let him inspect you for me. This Lao Donglin is one of my best old friends. He is an old policeman who has worked for decades, a master at solving crimes, and a detective of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. I will come to you The manager of the security department, I don’t dare to brag about anything else, but I can guarantee that you, Rao Shangdu, can sleep with your head open day and night with the door open.”
"With the title of manager of the security department, Uncle Lao is by Rao Shangdu's side, and it is naturally much more convenient to move around in various departments of the company: it didn't take too long, and he confirmed that Rao Shangdu bought villas in Beijing and Shanghai Behavior, I even obtained copies of the real estate certificates of the two houses, the bank remittance number for remitting the house payment to the seller, and the specific time, itinerary and date when Rao Shangdu accompanied Gu Liyuan to Beijing and Shanghai to look at the houses. The phone records from Shanghai, and the exact addresses of the two houses... Now the last thing left, and the most important thing, is to confirm whether Gu Liyuan has been taken away from Rao Shangdu These two properties. This is also the most difficult. Gu Liyuan’s name is not written on the real estate certificate. Gu Liyuan has not moved in either. No one lives in him, nor does his family and relatives live in. Does he want these two properties? Calculated from the date on the real estate certificate, the time when Rao Shangdu bought the two properties was almost the same day when he obtained the hundreds of millions of yuan in loans from the bank and the tens of thousands of square meters of riverside land from Gu Liyuan. It should be said that Rao Shangdu From the perspective of the capital, it is very obvious that the intention of buying these two houses is to obtain loans and cheap land. The question still lies in whether Gu Liyuan received such a "small gift". A gap, how many "20-30 million" can be poked out in the follow-up? It is hard to say. Yirao Shangdu is an "old bachelor" (he has not married yet. Of course, there is no shortage of women around him. But it is said that in He is quite strict in this regard, never letting messy women approach him casually. As for how he solved the problem of his man's sexual hunger, or this guy is simply a mutant personality, and there is no problem of hunger and thirst for the opposite sex. , I won’t go into details)’s boldness and generosity, his sincere gratitude to Gu Liyuan, it’s not too much to make one or two, two or three “two to thirty million”. But how to confirm that Gu Liyuan is What about the one who took over the house? Just when Uncle Lao was about to break through this difficulty with great pains, something happened that stunned him, caught him off guard, and struck him like a bolt from the blue: Those few people who secretly helped him obtain these "information" All of the employees were fired overnight.
"For a while, Uncle Lao didn't know what was wrong. For a while, the whole Shengtang company was panicked. I didn't know why Boss Rao fired so many people all at once, and some of the people who were fired were still the bosses. The most powerful confidants in the past. It is obvious that someone must have betrayed these people: But Uncle Lao has always had a one-way connection with these people: If the problem did not lie with Uncle Lao himself, it should not have happened This kind of tragedy of "sweeping everything in one go". He pondered over and over again, but he didn't find any flaws in himself. Besides Uncle Lao himself, the only one who knows the bottom line of these people is my father. Because in the whole During the process, Uncle Lao never evaded my father, and often discussed with my father how to proceed. Who should be contacted, how to find the method, and which problems should be paid special attention to when searching...
"Is it true that my father betrayed them? If it was 'betrayed', why did you only fire those people and not touch Uncle Lao, the instigator of this incident? Rao didn't even talk to Uncle Lao, even if he did There was not even a symbolic warning talk, as if Uncle Lao had nothing to do with these people = This also made Uncle Lao very confused and uneasy. Could it be that these people were fired for another reason? This possibility is not impossible. However, the chances of these same few people getting together to do something extremely offensive to Rao Shangdu are indeed too small.
"Wait until the situation calms down a bit. Uncle Lao rushed back to the provincial capital to find my dad to ask what happened. During those days, my dad didn't go to Taurigan anymore. He kept 'hiding' in the tomb in the provincial capital. I simply hid in my hut on Wharf Street. Of course, I can't hide. I can hide from anyone, but I can't hide from Uncle Lao..."
Shao Changshui asked: "Maybe you reported your father's whereabouts to Mr. Lao?"
Cao Nan said: "In good conscience, I really didn't report it to Uncle Lao this time. But I do have doubts about my father's whereabouts during that period of time. Why didn't he go to Taurigan? Live in my hut? That day, after work, I hurriedly bought some cooked food on the street, bought some vegetables and rushed back to Quay Street. The cooked food was bought for my dad. He loves those pork head pork braised pigs I bought vegetables for myself. A friend of mine told me that it is best to be vegetarian one to two days a week, which is good for health and weight loss, and also helps maintain mental balance and mental health. Wait for me Panting, I went up to the "dangerous building". Just as I was about to open my mouth to call for the door, I heard bursts of low-pitched roars coming from the room. I immediately recognized that it was Uncle Lao's voice. He kept asking, what is this?到底是咋回子事嘛，你吭个气啊……你当面说人话，背后却不干人事，到底安的啥心嘛……但不管他怎么'凶狠'，我父亲就是不作声。这时我既不知道他俩之间到底出了啥事，又不敢擅自闯进门去自讨没趣，只得干干地站在门外，完全被这么一档突如其来的事情吓呆了。你别看劳叔这人个性强，但他平时在熟人中间，是以随和、幽默、好逗人乐著称的。与人相处，他很少得理不饶人，更不会把人逼到绝境。当然，你要真把他欺负狠了，真惹恼了他，那九头牛也不一定能拉得转他，就像当年，上头有人找他谈话，只要他认一下错，就可以考虑让他保留二级英模称号。他说他没错。他说，你就是摘掉我二级英模的帽子，我还是没错。你们不是一直在教育我们为人做事要实事求是么?我没错，怎么认错?我没错去认错，还能算真正的二级英模吗?找他谈话的领导一听火了，大声责问，你还以为你是二级英模?年轻气盛的他立即跳起来反问，我怎么不是二级英模?有种，你把我这称号取消了啊，你送我去劳改啊!他以为这英模称号是国家公安部颁发的，省里不能把他怎么样。却不知，过了不长一段时间，英模称号真的被取消了，虽然没'送去劳改'，也没开除公职，但最后还是把他的党籍给开除了。
“……又过了一会儿，我听见他把声音压得很低很低，跟我父亲说了很长很长一段话。我父亲仍然一声不吭；而后就听见门'嘭'地一声被拽开了，劳叔满脸涨得通红地冲了出来，目不斜视地从我身旁跑下楼去……
“我走进屋，看见我父亲脸色苍白，整个人都跟瘫软了一般，萎缩在旧沙发的一角，眼神中充满了歉疚和无奈，满头花白的头发坟时显得特别蓬乱和凄怆，人也苍老了十多岁似的。后来我才得知．先是那几位中，有人绷不住了，悄悄地去饶上都跟前，把劳爷如何通过我爸找到他，秘密调查别墅事件的情况，一五一十，连汤带水地全端了出去。因为是'单线联系'的．他当然说不出公司内部还有谁掺和了这档子事。饶上都立即找到我爸，逼问此事。他当然不能对我爸来硬的，他很坦然地对我爸说，你和那位劳先生到底想干啥，我没法干预，也不想干预．但我不能允许我手下出叛徒。您能帮我一点忙吗?我公司内部哪些吃里扒外的东西，在背后给我捅刀子?当然，我也不为难您．市场经济嘛．我更不会让您白说。上一回不是说到我想买下您家那个曹不泉的金字招牌吗?上回开价多少来着?三百万?这样，我们来赌一把玩玩。我给您十分钟考虑时间，十分钟内您要够哥儿们．告诉我实情，我在那三百万上加价五十万。如果您还犹豫，还想再考虑考虑，我可以再给您十分钟时间，还可以再加您五十万，也就是说如果您在二十分钟内能说出实情，您能多拿到一百万：当然．如果您在二十分钟里还不能做最后决定，我还可以往上加价：但是．我不会无限制加价。那你犹豫到明天早上，我就彻底破产了：我有个心理价位，能容忍到某一个程度，如果到那时候，您还不想告诉我．那么这个价位将重新跌回到起初的那三百万。再往后．你每犹豫十分钟，我就往下降五十万。一直降到零价位，游戏结束。您这块金字招牌我也不要了，咱俩之间的交情也就结束：但您信不?您不告诉我，我也能把那几个王八羔子查个底儿掉：但您可就实实在在地损失了好几百刀呐。曹大爷，几百万啊．别说对您．就是对我．也不是一笔小钱呐。说白了，我今天就是拿这几百万来买你一个开口说实话。我必须把这几个王八羔子尽快剔除出去：你自己掂量吧。
“我爸一开始并不想对他说实话。饶上都真就开始了他这'叫价游戏'。从三百五十万……四百万……一直到四百五十万……我爸还在犹豫……这时，饶上都一下把价位跌回到三百万……然后继续往下降。每降一回，就会少拿五十万。五十万啊!我爸辛苦了一辈子，辛苦出满头的花白头发，都没挣够一个五十万!而眼前，十分钟就损失五十万啊……我爸再也受不了了，前胸后背直哆嗦，身上直冒冷汗，就在饶上都把价位落到二百万时，他受不了了，把所有的事情都跟饶上都说了……
“他觉得自己对不起劳叔，但他又觉得自己实在也是没有退路可走，只能如此。从那以后，劳叔再也没来找过我爸。非常奇怪的是，过了几天，他主动去找了饶上都，一副很落魄、很沮丧的样子，把事情的责任全都揽到自己头上，'请求'饶上都能免去对那几个同志的'处罚'：这几个同志实际上并没有供出什么了不得的情况，只是说了公司买过这样两幢别墅。但他们并不知道这别墅到底是要拿去做什么用的。他们并不认为告诉我这些情况，对他们尊敬的饶总会构成什么'危害'，所以请再给这几个同志一个'机会'，让他们回到原先的岗位上去；况且他们也都是上有老下有小的人，需要这样一个岗位，这么一个'饭碗'来养家糊口……
“饶上都斩钉截铁地回答劳叔，让那几个王八羔子回到原岗位上?这是绝对不可能的。我现在不跟你说别的。这几个王八羔子心里要真有我这个老总，在跟你说这些烂事儿前，应该先来请示我一下。他们早就该明白，是我在给他们开工资，是我在养活他们。现在知道疼了?知道没钱养家糊口了?早干吗去了?蒋介石当年没杀那个抗上的张学良，那还把他拘了一辈子哩。这几个王八羔子必须离开公司总部。但看在你老的面子上，我可以在我管得着的范围里，给他们再找口饭吃吃。但他们必须给我立下书面字据，必须承认，原先跟你说的那些话都是放屁的话，是造谣，污蔑。人家顾代省长正经一个国家省部级干部，用得着上我这儿来找住房吗?这不是在歪曲寒碜我们党我们政府，毁坏我们国家干部的形象，存心跟改革开放过不去吗?
“劳叔说，你把我开了不就完了?这事是我起的头，你跟他们算啥账?
“饶上都嘿嘿一笑道，劳大哥，我不是不能收拾你，也不是不敢收拾你。我现在只是不想收拾你。不收拾你，是有几条理由的。头一个，我不希望这事在社会上闹大发了。您一走，这动静就大了。全公司的人都会怀疑到我这儿真要出什么大乱子似的。上下人心浮动，我的损失就太大了。所以，所以还真不能把你整走。你还得安安心心在我这儿干着。你愿干不愿干，都得干着。第二条．我瞧你还是个相当有能耐的人：再咋说．原先也是省直机关的干部嘛。这样的人才，在陶里根打着灯笼也找不见几个。我这人还就喜欢跟这样的人打交道。你能替谁谁谁来密查我，就不能倒过来替我去堵堵这窟窿?曹月芳咋样．也算是一个老资格了吧?二百万搞定。将来我给你的好处．一定会大大超过这二百万。当然，前提是你要真心替我干。现在不都在学习'三个代表'吗?你说将来谁代表中国的发展方向?谁代表中国最先进的生产力?是我?我们?还是那个都快走不动路的老书记?你干了这么几十年，他们给你啥了?你跟我干一干试试，看看我能给你啥?!好好想想吧，别再小事聪明大事糊涂了!别一辈子轰轰烈烈拳打脚踢到头来落一场空，还自以为能耐!
“应该说，我爸的'背叛'，加上饶上都这一番连蒙带唬，对劳叔心理的打击特别大。头几天。他还真蔫头耷脑的，走起路来跟鸭公鸭婆似的，趿拉着腰，撇着个外八字脚．一海一侉地直晃悠，一点精气神都没了。听说饶上都为此还再一次把他叫到他那特豪华的办公室去'开导'了一番=饶上都说．你这么跟家里死了爹似的，不是明摆着要告诉全公司的人，你跟那几个被开了的王八羔子是一伙的吗?晚上带你们保卫部的几个哥儿姐们去歌厅吼几嗓子去。我知道你歌唱得好，舞也跳得不错，撒开了玩儿一把。今天晚上的消费，开个票，回头我给你签单。
“据说，打那天起．劳叔就经常出入歌厅和洗浴中心。他能唱能跳能说笑话，不荤不素、雅俗共赏的黄段子张口就来，是个非常出色的晚会派对主持。再加上他单身一个．独自住在公司里，晚上有的是时间哄大伙玩儿。公司里谁搞聚餐、生日派对，谁办红白喜事都少不了他。那段时间里．他几乎天天晚上都闹腾到半夜一两点才回他那单身宿舍。随后不久，饶上都把他原先使着的那辆旧沃尔沃换成了你们后来看到的那辆崭新的奥迪A6。他就是要让全公司的人看到，公司前一段是出了一点事，但那是小事，有人猜疑是这位从省里来的保卫部经理组织一帮人跟饶总过不去，现在你们瞧瞧，到底谁跟谁过不去?谁跟谁都挺好，公司内部天下太平……
“饶上都这人就是能玩手段。玩不了手段，他能做那么大的生意吗?
“应该说，也就是在这前后差不多的时间里，劳叔悄悄回省城去找过一回那个派他来陶里根的人。我不清楚这人叫什么。劳叔在非常痛苦的时候，跟我隐隐约约地说起过这档子事。但没告诉我这人叫什么姓什么。他只说那个人也耍了他一把。他特别伤心地跟我说，那个派我来的领导突然昏迷了，没来得及留下任何话。我问他，那你不能去找别的领导?他直叹气，摇着头跟我说了这么一句话：你不懂啊，小丫头，你不懂……我问他，我怎么不懂了?领导不都代表党和政府嘛，找这个找那个不都一样?干吗非得盯住一个?他苦笑笑，还是重复了那一句话：你不懂啊，小丫头，你不懂……
“那一段时期他的确显得有点灰心，也的确显得有点沮丧，但他表现出来的那一整套'玩世不恭'的举止，给我的感觉，总好像是故意这么装给谁看的……是采取的一种自我保护措施……”
邵长水忙问：“哦?你为什么会得出这么一个结论?”
曹楠轻轻叹了口气说：“我也说不清楚……也许……也许我总不能相信，这么一个饱经沧桑的老警察，精神上心理上会那么脆弱，那么不堪一击……”
邵长水微笑着打趣道：“感谢你能这么信任我们警察。”
曹楠却很认真地答道：“也不是每一个警察都这么值得信任的。我爸也当过警察。” 邵长水模棱两可地说道：“你爸……” 曹楠忙接口说道：“这就不说我爸了。反正那一段，劳叔的日子不好过……”
邵长水说道：“再说说寿泰求吧：他怎么又让你那位劳叔失望的?”
曹楠这时坐直了身子，抻了抻了腰．打量了一眼窗外完全黑下来的天色，忽然说：“你们这儿没食堂吗?你们都吃过晚饭了?”
邵长水忙笑道：“我还真把这一茬给忘了哩。走走走，找个地方吃饭去。”
曹楠说：“你们这儿有食堂的话．咱们就在食堂里随便吃点得了，在食堂里吃还干净。”
一直闷头在一旁做笔录的那个女同志一边收拾着散页的笔录纸，一边笑着劝说曹楠：“难得咱邵组长大方一把，啥干净不干净的?走。马路对过那家川菜馆就不错的．麻辣都挺够味儿。”还一溜小跑，把复核组其他两位同志也一起叫上．一路嚷嚷着：“今天咱们可是托人家小美女的福了．得好好让邵组长出一把血。” 曹楠却噘起嘴说道：“谁是'美女'?别骂人，行不行?” 那个女同志大笑道：“少见．真少见：小丫头片子还有不喜欢别人称自己美女的。美女好啊!你瞧我跟邵组长工作这么长时间，他就没想到要请我下一回馆子：我总结半天，原因就只有一个，我不是美女呗。” 邵长水略略红起睑．故意做出一副一咬牙切齿”的样子笑道：“请，今天好好请。放开你那丰硕的吐子．就好好搓吧，你!”
