Give a bellflower to the drowning ghost

131

Wang Ze's whimpering stopped abruptly.

Bodyguard Chen strode over, carefully glanced at the two men lying in the corner who were also hallucinating, and then dug out the cloth strip stuffed in Wang Ze's mouth.But Wang Ze turned a deaf ear to all this. He opened his mouth and breathed vigorously, as if drowning on land.Bodyguard Chen pinched Wang Ze's chin and directly inserted his fingers into Wang Ze's mouth.

The ranger saw that he was frowning and took out two wet "stamps" with his fingers. He seemed to be different from those addicts and didn't like drugs very much.

Bodyguard Chen took another quick look at the warehouse door, and then put the "stamp" in his pocket.Then, he ignored the trembling Wang Ze and sat back beside the forest ranger.

The ranger controlled himself to look away from Wang Ze.

"You don't look like they're friends," the ranger said.

Bodyguard Chen smiled: "You and Master Wang Ze are not like friends either."

The other party kept bringing the topic to him, and the forest ranger had no choice but to follow his words: "Why do you say that?"

Chen's bodyguard was now wearing the same gray overalls as the three men, and he was also wearing the usual rough cloth gloves on his hands.He took out two candy-like things from his trouser pocket, and carefully peeled off the wrapper, revealing the brightly colored candies inside.With a similar movement, he reached out and lifted the ranger's chin. The ranger had no choice but to open his lips, and Chen's bodyguard still put the candy into his mouth.

Then, he didn't let go of the hand that was pinching the ranger's chin.

The sugar in his mouth made the ranger regain some attention, and he carefully watched Bodyguard Chen's expression.

Bodyguard Chen's face was pale, just like studying a novel ornament, forcing the ranger to follow his movements to reveal the side face and jaw.

The ranger frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"

Bodyguard Chen said, "I'm looking to see what is so special about you that you can be selected by a writer."

The ranger's heart skipped a beat.

Bodyguard Chen finally put down his hand: "I can't tell."

There was a flash of thunder, and the rain fell suddenly, like countless stones hitting the roof. There was a crackling sound in the dilapidated warehouse, but the three people who had just finished licking the drugs still ignored it.

Bodyguard Chen's words were blurred in the noise: "Because of the boss's request, I have read all the letters from Wang Ze and the writer, and I have also sorted out your information several times."

The ranger was unsure about the direction of the topic, and for the first time was annoyed at his low social skills.

Bodyguard Chen said: "I started this job shortly after I met Wang Ze. Wang Ze was so stupid that he always thought that his correspondence with the writer was very secretive, and he even wrote some bad things about the 'only good friend' in the letter." He thought of something and smiled, "Because I thought it was very interesting, I also wrote a letter and sent it together."

"But there was only a reply to Wang Ze, not mine. I was not selected."

Bodyguard Chen said to himself, "Probably because my life is not as dramatic as Wang Ze's."

The ranger said cautiously, "It's because Wang Ze's life is too dramatic."

Bodyguard Chen agreed: "It's like the gate of a mansion."

He thought for a while and said, "But no matter how hard Wang Ze tried to sell himself, he still lost to you. He ran into our hands like a bereaved dog."

The ranger felt a little nauseous: "lose to me?"

"He regards the writer as a beacon of life, but he can only beg you with a dead face, and dig up some things about the writer from you before his death," Chen's bodyguard sarcastically said, "He is so jealous of you that he is about to go crazy."

The ranger said coldly, "I don't think you are much better."

Bodyguard Chen said frankly: "Yes, how else would I kidnap him?"

The forest guard said, "You have read all of Wang Ze's letters, yet you still envy him?"

Bodyguard Chen paused, and then laughed at himself: "I saw my dad chasing my mom with a kitchen knife. Is this enough to be jealous of him? He still uses his fucking credit card every month anyway."

Bodyguard Chen took out a cigarette from his pocket, as if he was bored.

The ranger felt inappropriately that if this was a game he had played in the past, then Bodyguard Chen's favorability towards him had probably reached the bottom.

Now is not the time to assert yourself.

Wang Ze's struggle seems to have weakened. Maybe those people will continue to give him drugs to save trouble, or maybe they won't.

He doesn't know whether the kidnappers have a high success rate in getting the money, but the rate of tearing up tickets is very high.The only thing the ranger was sure of was that he would not accept Wang Ze's death in this way anyway.

Calm down and use your socially anxious mind.The ranger laughed secretly to himself.

His feet were tied to the stool, his hands were tied behind his back, and each finger was tied tightly. From the touch, it was estimated that it was something like a nylon cable tie.

There were four kidnappers.One seemed to be the leader. He went out with Wang Ze's video, probably to send a blackmail letter or something. If they went to the deep mountains, they would return at least 5 hours later.The other two were addicts, and they took postage stamp-shaped drugs, so they must be hallucinogens that gradually subside after 12 hours. When they wake up, Wang Ze may also regain his sanity.The last one is Chen's bodyguard who acts as an internal response.He doesn't seem to have a drug addiction and has a serious interest in himself, but his regrettable stupidity causes the other person to end the conversation.

He also sent letters to writers, but he didn't hear back, which he cared about.

He said he was jealous of Wang Ze.

No, this is not the main reason why he kidnapped Wang Ze.

Think about what he was trying to get by talking to me.

Let him be shaken, evoke the most unfaceable memories in his heart, give him the comfort he needs most, and exchange with him what he needs.With curiosity, like a writer does, see the human being as a book.

Make him feel that he is understood and will be forgiven.

It's something any guilty conscience would crave, including the Rangers themselves.

The ranger said slowly, "So, your mother now..."

Bodyguard Chen took the cigarette out of his mouth when he heard the words: "It wasn't hacked to death. My dad's idiot wouldn't really chop it down. If his wife died, he would have no money to gamble with. The only good thing about him is that he has A stupid woman who doesn't want to get divorced."

The ranger said: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen my mother, so it's hard to understand your feelings."

Bodyguard Chen put the cigarette on the ground and extinguished it: "For some parents, there is no difference between having or not having parents, so your luck is probably not the worst."

There was a silence.

The ranger asked, "May I ask, what did you say in the letter you wrote to the writer?"

Bodyguard Chen narrowed his eyes, as if there was his memory in the sound of rain.

He said: "I asked him, can he also write a book for me, and give me a happy ending, as simple as it is, after all, my only wish is to earn money to buy a house. Although it seems , this wish can only be realized through crime."

Bodyguard Chen hugged his knee unconsciously, and sat on the tattered stool in a self-protective posture: "Probably because of this, the writer couldn't make up a good ending for me."

Chen's bodyguard wiped his nose in a concealed manner: "But compared to the poor ordinary citizens, the grievances of wealthy families like Wang Ze are probably more gimmicks."

The ranger cooperated with him and changed the subject: "You mean Wang Ze's father cheating?"

Bodyguard Chen smiled: "What is his father, his mother is the most powerful. Do you know why Wang Ze was kidnapped by his uncle when he was a child?"

The ranger looked puzzled, and Chen's bodyguard said in a low voice dramatically: "Because Wang Ze's mother lied to his brother, saying that she gave birth to his child."

"My boss's family used to have an elder brother. According to the traditional idea, that elder brother would inherit the family business. The boss and his uncle Wang Ze have been oppressed by the elder brother. It seems that they are in the same disease, and there is some relationship between men and women. Who knows that When the eldest brother died young, Wang Ze and his grandfather could only choose one of the pair of incestuous siblings."

The ranger really didn't expect this: "...your boss seems to be a person who has no emotions."

Bodyguard Chen said frivolously: "It is true that she is gone now. Grandpa Wang Ze thought that the remaining two candidates were of similar ability, but at least he was willing to marry his partner's family. Uncle Wang Ze was unwilling, but the boss Agreed. If we just broke up like this, there will be no bad luck later, but the boss told her brother that the groom, like her, has someone he really likes, and they will live their own lives as husband and wife in the future. He also said that he is pregnant My brother's child, I hope my brother can be with me and my child."

The ranger felt quite uncomfortable, but still reluctantly cooperated: "Then why did you lie to him?"

"Because there is actually a clause in Wang Ze's grandfather's will, saying that those who give birth to incest children will be deprived of inheritance rights. My brother didn't know that there was such a clause until Wang Ze and his grandfather passed away. Before that, he was better than everyone else. He loves the child born to the man he hates the most."

"My brother is a man of temperament, but my sister chooses money. It's a pity."

It is impossible for Wang Ze not to know the ugly inside story that even the bodyguards at home know, but he insisted on going to see his uncle.

The ranger asked: "So you chose this time to kidnap Wang Ze on purpose?" To this extent?

Bodyguard Chen recovered from the pleasure of chewing his tongue: "No, it's just because the timing is just right."

The rangers feel tired.

He hated what this person did from the bottom of his heart. It was because of this kind of person who would act according to the ugliness in his heart that he chose to hide from the world.

It's really hard for him to empathize with this kind of person.

The ranger said: "I have a guess, I hope you can tell me the answer."

Bodyguard Chen nodded.

The ranger said, "You didn't wear a mask in front of us, is it because you decided to tear up the ticket early in the morning?"
