Chapter 56 Chapter fifty-six

Xue Ge opened his eyes and looked at his watch, it was almost 12 o'clock.This sleep lasted more than ten hours, which was truly high-quality sleep.Hope it helps tonight, he thought. Xue Ge and Taozi finished collecting the goods last night and didn't use them immediately. They only chatted with Taozi for a while and then went home.No. 4 is wonderful, but compared with the upcoming competition, it can only temporarily withdraw. Xue Ge stretched his waist, and saw the noon sun shining golden light on the curtains.He jumped out of bed, opened the curtains, and the sunlight poured in.He couldn't help squinting his eyes, feeling light and full of energy.He calculated, and in eight hours, he will usher in the most important moment in his life.How should the eight hours be spent?As soon as I thought of this question, something happened.

Feng Tai called. Xue Ge was very surprised by the number on the phone. He knew it was the number of the department head, but he couldn't figure out why the number found him.He hesitated to pick up the call, only to realize that it was all right.Feng Tai just asked him how he was preparing for the game in a teacher's tone, and told him not to be nervous, but to perform well, and everyone was waiting for his good news.Then, Feng Tai asked him to go over there, right now, immediately, to the school, vocal department, and the director's office, there is a small matter to discuss. "The sooner the better, I'll wait for you here. Don't worry, it won't take too much time." Feng Tai said.

Zhou Yulou didn't expect to wait for such a long time. Every time the door of the cafe was pushed open, he would look up, but none of the people who came in were his friends. Anxious! Zhou Yulou received a call from a friend in the bank at 10:00 a.m. asking him to come and get a copy of Xiao Haipeng's ID card.He thought he would be able to get it when he arrived, but unexpectedly, his friend stopped him at the gate of the bank, saying that an important leader came to inspect suddenly, and asked him to wait in the nearby cafe first, and deliver it to him later.This wait lasted more than an hour, during which Zhou Yulou drank three cups of coffee, feeling uneasy all the time, as long as he thought that the mysterious face was within reach, he couldn't help being nervous.Although he kept telling himself that what he was about to see might have nothing to do with the "stranger", it was just an innocent ID card, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or not.But he still couldn't hide his great curiosity, guessing over and over again, what the person in the photo looked like, how old he was, and where his address was... After all, that bastard used these to pry open his vault.

Finally, when it was almost noon, my friend came, panting, and explained to him that a vice president had a sudden convulsion, and he was conducting spot checks on the rest day, and they were caught unexpectedly, and he just left. "How is it? Did you get it?" Zhou Yulou asked. The friend put his hand into his pocket and looked at him with a serious face: "Yulou, don't blame me for being paranoid, you won't do anything outrageous, will you?" "What's outrageous? It's what I told you last time. Why are you so nervous about a little thing?" "Don't think I'm talking nonsense. Disclosing the account holder's information privately is indeed a violation of discipline. I didn't think it was a problem at first, but the higher-ups made me a little nervous after repeated inspections. You really don't have any other plans, do you?"

"If you want to be embarrassed, just pretend I didn't say it." Zhou Yulou stood up. "Hey, don't..." The friend finally took his hand out of his pocket and handed him a crumpled piece of paper.Zhou Yulou took it over and slowly opened it.Halfway through the call, he spotted a photocopy of an ID card, which was dark.He raised his head and smiled at his friend, "You make me so nervous." He flattened the paper, looked at the ID card, and the first thing he saw was the photo on it, and then his eyes widened in disbelief! "My God, that turned out to be..."

His hand trembled, the cup fell on the table, and the coffee was spilled everywhere. "Come in." Feng Tai shouted when the door knocked. Xue Ge walked in.He was still a little nervous, although he didn't hear Feng Tai's intentions on the phone, but his appointment itself was disgusting.Especially at this time, with the finals coming up tonight, being safe and free from distractions is more important than anything else. "Sit down." Feng Tai looked very friendly, smiled at Xue Ge, and pointed to the opposite chair.Xue Ge sat down.Feng Tai looked at him, and he also looked at the head of the department without avoiding it.He knew there were no secrets between them anymore.Just like what Taozi said, don’t be afraid of him, he framed Zhou Yulou, and you blackmailed him, everyone has secrets to tell, it’s all equal, that’s all.

After staring at each other for a while, Xue Ge asked: "Director Feng, what's the matter? I don't have much time, there is still a competition tonight." "Does number four feel good?" Feng Tai asked. This sentence is really extraordinary!Although Feng Tai just said it nonchalantly, and even casually picked up a newspaper when he spoke, it was enough to make Xue Ge feel struck by lightning!His composure was swept away, and his eyes became slack in an instant. "What... number four?" Xue Ge asked after being stunned for a while. "Haha..." Feng Tai completely crushed the boy with a burst of laughter.He stood up, walked behind Xue Ge, and put his hands on his shoulders. "Number four, the number four that can make you float." He rubbed Xue Ge's shoulders, as if he was having a massage, "I know what you're thinking, don't doubt your friend, since you betrayed me last time, He has always been very loyal to you. You don't have to guess how I know, I have my way. Maybe you underestimated me in the past. Although I am not a very smart person, I have lived a little longer than you after all. In 2010, I killed more mosquitoes than I ate dumplings, so don't be so surprised, I know that secret will only happen sooner or later, you see..." Feng Tai leaned down, "Your face is red."

Xue Ge twisted his body, avoided Feng Tai's hand, and faltered: "Director Feng, I really don't understand, what... Number four, I don't know what you are talking about." "That's not good. What's the use of denying it? I'm just a little teacher, I don't have any abilities, unlike those policemen with great powers, they can dig out a little bit of heroin from your toe cap, use it Do they try?" silence. Feng Tai sat back opposite Xue Ge again, and said earnestly like a real leader: "Okay, let's be straightforward and talk straight. I think we both know what this matter means, and we will give it to you." What consequences will you bring? I thought about it all night yesterday, whether I should let the police solve this matter, but I hesitated for a long time, and I still couldn't make up my mind. Finally, I decided not to tell anyone. But my conscience And I am very disturbed, whether it is your teacher or an ordinary person, keeping this secret is against my principles, so you have to listen carefully, there is a premise for my secrecy."

"What premise?" Xue Ge blurted out. "Hehe..." Feng Tai smiled knowingly, knowing that the little thing had already knelt down in his palm.He was quiet for a moment, and asked Xue Ge: "Do you know Domingo?" Xue Ge trembled violently. Feng Tai's eyes lit up, "It seems that you know! Hehe, yes, it would be unforgivable for the talented students of the Conservatory of Music not to know this allusion. Let me check with you again, it was 2001, and Domingo was in The Shanghai Grand Theater held a solo concert, which was his solo debut in China, and the tickets sold for more than 3,000. His performance that day was very good, but surprisingly, halfway through the concert, he sang at the general He stopped suddenly when he was singing "Tonight's Stars Are Bright" by Chini. Everyone was amazed! Domingo...he couldn't sing anymore, he lost his voice! That was his first concert in the new century!" Feng Tai’s description was vivid, he lit a cigarette to cheer himself up, and then said, “The master himself was also very depressed, but there was no way out, the loss of voice was the loss of voice, the vocal cords failed, and the singing was interrupted. He could only wave his hand to the conductor, expressing regret that it was over. "Feng Tai took a deep breath, as if helping Domingo end the difficult process, and told Xue Ge, "But, you see, no one lowered his evaluation, and no one denied his status. He is still a Domingo, the king of opera. As long as there is a show, there will be an accident, you know? Boy, remember, this is a truth - if there is a show, there will be an accident. Like a drug, there will be an accident. You... Can you understand what I mean?" Feng Tai crushed the cigarette butt like crushing a bug, and stared at Xue Ge steadfastly.Xue Ge remained motionless, his right hand tightly clutching his trouser leg.

The dean's office was silent for a moment. "I'm asking you something," Feng Tai asked, "Do you understand what I mean?" "I don't understand." "I don't want to repeat it, you understand?" Xue Ge lowered his head and swallowed.Feng Tai stood up from the chair, "Do you need to be so nervous? It's not that difficult. Look, your pants are scratched. You understand, right? Now I want you to make a promise, you Promise me, lose your voice, just tonight... can you do it?" Xue Ge didn't speak. "Can?" Xue Ge shook his head, "I can't."

Feng Tai sneered, "It seems that you are not yet mature enough to judge the seriousness, I will ask you one last time, can I or not? Then I will decide whether to use this." Feng Tai handed a piece of paper to In front of Xue Ge, there was a string of thick and large numbers on it, written with a gasoline pen, the red was dazzling.Feng Tai explained: "This is the reporting number of the Anti-drug Brigade of Xinjiang City. I checked it out before you came, but to tell you the truth, I really don't want to use it. Now you say... can you do it?" "If you call the police, I'll tell them about Fang Lili!" Xue Ge blurted out, it was the only straw he could hold on to. "Haha..." Feng Tai laughed wildly, he was already prepared, "It's late! You might be able to scare me without the help of heroin, but now, with white powder noodles in your body, who would believe you? Who would Believe in a drug addict? I'll tell them that's just a lie you made up out of thin air to get revenge on the teacher! Wake up boy, you have no evidence to report me, but you have a motive to frame me, you say, they are willing Believe you or me?" "But you deposited money into Taozi's account, how did you explain it to the police?" "Yeah, which man has never lent money to a friend? One of my little brothers was going to start a small business and had no funds, so I generously lent him the money. Even Taozi himself admitted that I was He helped him in the most difficult time, and everyone in the marriage registry can testify to that sentence. But I never thought that he would go the wrong way and take my money to seduce my students to take drugs. Now I will send these two people to the Public Security Bureau! Hehe, no one will doubt this story, the police will be very moved, and even send me a pennant, let me participate in the commendation meeting at the end of the year, and send me bed sheets and a pressure cooker. You have been expelled from school for two months, can you believe it?" After a while, Xue Ge seemed to see the situation clearly, and said almost with tears in his eyes, "What do you want me to do?" "By the way, this is a smart kid, want to smoke one?" Feng Tai threw a cigarette over.Xue Ge didn't answer, and looked at the leader pitifully, "Director Feng, I never sing bad songs on purpose, I..." "Lose your voice." Feng Tai interrupted him, as if a teacher was saying with all his heart when he was teaching a student, "Losing your voice is the simplest mistake, there is no skill, such as poor state, nervousness, cold, eating too much chili, or even suddenly wanting to let go. Shit... There are many reasons to lose your voice. Think about Domingo, even the king of operas will lose his voice, let alone just a student of the Conservatory of Music. Understand? It only takes five bars." Feng Tai stretched out his hand and spread his palm, "Five bars, the singing is interrupted, can you do it?" Xue Ge's face was full of fear, and then his eyes dimmed. He looked at the dean dully, and the dean looked back at him with loving eyes. When Zhou Yulou returned home, Jiang Dan was not there, and went shopping with Lu Qing.Lu Qing called and said that they had dinner outside, and then went directly to the TV station to watch Xue Ge's game. Zhou Yulou walked into the study, turned on the computer, and found a website called "Identity Network".He has known about this website for a long time, and he can verify the authenticity of an ID card for ten yuan by paying with his mobile phone.He wrote "Xiao Haipeng" in the "Name of the person being inspected" box, filled in the number on the ID card in the "ID card number" box, and entered his mobile phone number. Procedure... Finally, a photo of Xiao Haipeng appeared on the computer screen. Yes, it was the face on the copy. At the same time, the verification results show that the name of "Xiao Haipeng" is the same as the ID number, that is to say, at least the name, number and photo of the ID card are true, so the conclusion is that Xiao Haipeng is indeed a real person . Zhou Yulou stared at the computer screen for a long time, the photo was much clearer than the photocopy.The initial shock in his heart surged again.The reason why he was shocked was that Xiao Haipeng was a woman. All along, Zhou Yulou took it for granted that Xiao Haipeng was a man.No reason, it was a man's name.But it now appears that "she" is a woman, and a woman does exist.Calculated from the date of birth, she is just forty years old this year. Forty-year-old Xiao Haipeng looks very ordinary, chubby, with small eyes, thick lips, usual short hair, shirt buttons all the way to the top, looks rustic.The only distinctive feature is a mole under the lip.The mole is not obvious on the copy, but it is very clear on the screen. It grows near the center of the lower lip, like a grain of rice that hasn't been wiped off. No matter how you look at it, this woman doesn't look like a blackmailer.But a friend at the bank told Zhou Yulou that the account opening records showed that it was Xiao Haipeng himself who went to the bank to open an account.Zhou Yulou thought, either, the blackmailer knew Xiao Haipeng and had a good relationship, so he asked Xiao Haipeng to go to the bank to apply for a card, and then used that card to blackmail; or, the blackmailer got Xiao Haipeng's ID card somehow, took Went to the bank and got the card for her.When handling, the bastard will lie that he forgot to bring his ID card and ask the counter clerk to accommodate him. So in order to save trouble, the clerk may treat "account opening by agency" as "account opening by himself", so that the account opening record will also only Xiao Haipeng appeared.In some small outlets, this is not impossible.In addition, the friend told Zhou Yulou that the processing time for this card was last Saturday morning—two hours before Zhou Yulou handed over the 150,000 yuan. Zhou Yulou turned his attention to the address on his ID card: No. 3, Lane 7, Xiufu West Road, Nanliu District, Xinjiang City.He felt that the address should not be fake. If it was fake, it would usually include fake names, photos, and numbers. Now those are all real, and the address is probably correct. Nanliu District, Xiufu West Road... Zhou Yulou thought for a while, he was not familiar with that place.Nanliu District is a suburb of the city and is not among the six districts in Xinjiang City.He wanted to check the approximate location first, and then go over immediately after getting the number, and find Xiao Haipeng.He opened the drawer, and he had always kept Zhang Xinjiang's map in the drawer.While searching, he calculated that if he was lucky, he might be able to find Xiao Haipeng before the finals tonight.There are less than three days before 150,000, if the "stranger" can be dug out within these three days, there may be an unexpected turnaround!Of course, even if Xiao Haipeng was found, it would be nothing, because she has nothing to do with that bastard. If she knew that her ID card had done such a bad thing, she would even have the desire to set herself on fire.But it is undeniable that the opposite may also exist!The more Zhou Yulou thought about it, the more excited he became, and the hands that were looking for the map became excited...but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.At this time, he suddenly remembered that a few days ago, in order to meet writers in different places, Jiang Dan always looked at the map on the bed before going to bed.He immediately got up and ran to the bedroom. He was so impatient that he even forgot that an electronic map of Xinjiang would appear in front of him with just a few clicks of the mouse. .He rushed into the bedroom and opened the book on the bedside table. There was no map in the book, the drawer of the bedside table was empty, and there was nothing on the dresser.He opened the dresser drawer again, and finally saw it.He pulled out the map, unfolded it, pointed to Nanliu District in the lower left corner, squinted his eyes and searched for...Xiufu West Road, Xiufu West Road...I found it!At this moment...he was stunned! He couldn't be sure how he felt, because that moment was too short... He didn't move the hand holding the map, and tilted his head to one side, poking through the map.Sure enough, he saw something in the dresser drawer. A cell phone—a corner protrudes behind cosmetic bottles. Zhou Yulou let go of his hand, and the map landed lightly.He stepped forward, bent down, stretched out his hand, and pulled the bottles away, revealing all the phones. Strange, brand new, closed. His heart was pounding... He turned on the phone and dialed his number. Soon, his phone rang, and a few words were displayed on the screen: the same stranger. That was another "civilized name" he gave to blackmailers.
