under the vortex

Chapter 166 The Price Three

Because of what happened to Jia Wenjun on the ship, and the man behind the scenes has not yet been found, Wu Peng is instinctively wary of everyone on the Shell.Even for Baimashan, a good man whom everyone praises, Wu Peng is still vigilant.

Lying on the bed at night, Wu Peng recalled how Baimashan refused to testify against Jia Wenjun today. As a man, Wu Peng did not believe that Baimashan did not know the purpose of Lu Maowang appearing in the dark warehouse in the middle of the night and wrestling with Jia Wenjun.

But Baimashan insisted that it was too dark at the time, and only said that there was friction between Lu Maowang and Jia Wenjun. I don't know why the friction happened. Wu Peng couldn't figure out Baimashan's psychology.Or knowing the truth, but still choosing to cover up Lu Maowang?
The starry sky lights were turned on in the room, and Wu Peng looked at the effect of lights above his head imitating the constantly changing constellations in space. Perhaps it is more unpredictable than the constellations in the universe, which is the heart of the people.

But no matter what the psychology of Baima Mountain is, as long as Lu Maowang's liquid residue is detected on the clothes, Lu Maowang will not be able to escape.

At this time, Lu Maowang was drinking and cursing at home. He just received a text message from an unfamiliar number on his mobile phone, telling him that Jia Wenjun's lawyer had come to collect evidence, and he was going to be accused of rape, so he waited to prepare to go to jail.

Lu Maowang couldn't even hold the wine bottle steadily, and stared at his bloodshot eyes: "Damn it, how dare a murderer sue me? Find a lawyer to investigate me, right? I'll let you know how powerful I am!"

Jiu Zhuang was cowardly, and after drinking, Lu Maowang dug out a handful of screws from home, and went downstairs with a bag of garbage.

It rained a little the next day, the old man told Wu Peng not to ride a motorcycle today, Wu Peng looked at the sky and said, "It's okay, the drizzle will stop soon, I went to many places today, it's more convenient to ride a bike."

"Take your raincoat." The old man couldn't persuade him, so he could only tell him not to get caught in the rain.

Wu Peng agreed, took his helmet and raincoat and came down.

He doesn't know how to wear this raincoat, even when he gets wet. Who drives this kind of motorcycle and wears such an ugly plastic raincoat?
But he didn't want to be nagged by the old man, so he took off his raincoat.

The rain had become much lighter. He put on his helmet, stuffed his raincoat into the car, and started the car. Amidst the roar, the car slowly drove out of the community.

There was water on the road, and Wu Peng was not driving fast. There was still a traffic light before he arrived at the police station. Suddenly, a person crossing the road rushed out in front of him. The ground was wet and slippery, and he was already on his side. With a loud "bang", he and his car hit the curb and fell to the ground.

The traffic police at the intersection rushed over to check the situation. Wu Peng, who fell down, got up from the ground, clutched his bleeding arm, and looked at the car lying on the ground a few meters away. He didn't go to help the car immediately, but went to Pick up the bag containing Jia Wenjun's clothes on the ground.

"Hi, do you need us to call an ambulance?" the traffic policeman asked him.

Wu Peng's arm was still bleeding. He looked at the gate of the police station only a few hundred meters away, shook his head and said, "Thank you, no need, just help me to get the car to the side of the road."

His right hand was seriously injured, and he couldn't ride the car anymore. Wu Peng had to take the evidence to Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin was talking to his colleagues in the office, when he turned around and saw Wu Peng covered in mud and blood on his arms, he was startled: "What's going on?"

Wu Peng handed him the things: "I accidentally dropped the bicycle, and this is Jia Wenjun's clothes."

"Should I take you to the hospital?" Zhang Lin frowned and looked at his wound.

Wu Peng hurriedly said: "No, don't waste time, go to the laboratory to have your clothes checked."

After leaving the police station, Wu Peng walked to his motorcycle, carefully checked the punctured wheel, and found a screw on the rear tire.

He had bought this car for so long, and it was the first time that the tire was punctured by a screw.He secretly said something unlucky, and then called a familiar repair shop to drive a pickup truck to deliver it to the shop, and then he went to the hospital to treat the wound.

As soon as he got out of the hospital, a friend from the garage called him and told him that the car was repaired and could be picked up at any time. Finally, the other party said that the screw was inserted at an angle, as if someone had screwed it halfway in first. , and then he let the screws all go in when he was driving, and asked him if he had offended anyone recently.

Wu Peng hung up the phone, looked at his injuries, and gritted his molars. It seemed that his recent investigation had angered some scumbags, which further showed that he checked it correctly.

In the evening, when the old man saw his grandson come back with gauze on his arm, he hurriedly asked about the situation.

Wu Peng smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, I drove a little fast on the road today, and I fell and broke a little skin. I went to the hospital to bandage it. Don't worry, I regret my life."

"You brat, I told you to buy a car instead of a motorcycle, but you just didn't listen. No, I'll show you the car tomorrow."

"Oh, my good grandpa, thank you so much, I just fell in love with one recently, I will take you with me tomorrow, and you bring the card, let's bring the car back together."

"What car? Got a picture?"

Wu Peng opened the webpage: "Isn't this handsome?"

The old man looked at the price: "97? You bastard, the car driven by a trainee lawyer is more expensive than Liu Lu, don't you want to mess around?"

Wu Peng looked disapproving: "It's a big deal, I'll park farther away. This is so handsome, it drives much faster than my little motorcycle, so let's just take this one."

"No, I can't buy this car. I'll buy you a Volvo." The old man was afraid that it would be dangerous for him to drive fast, and this brat only chose this kind of car, so how can he rest assured.

"I said, grandpa, I'm in my twenties, not 50 or [-]. Who would like that kind of middle-aged car? I just like this one. If it wasn't this one, I wouldn't drive it. I drive my little motorcycle, at least it doesn't get stuck in traffic." .”

In fact, Wu Peng didn't really want to buy a car, his father had already spent almost all of the old man's money, and he really couldn't bear to let his grandfather spend the coffin to buy this and that for him.

Seeing his nonsense, Mr. Wang was also annoyed: "Just the one I mentioned, whether you like it or not."

"Then don't buy it for now, let's eat." Wu Peng smiled and went to wash his hands, picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in the old man's bowl.

When he got back to his room at night, he opened it and used a cigarette. The camera near the car shed last night was copied from the monitoring room of the community to capture the video. Wu Peng did not park the car in the underground parking lot. There is a small carport for parking bicycles and electric vehicles on the nearest ground.

The camera is not directly installed in the carport, it is about seven or eight meters away from the carport. Occasionally, someone comes in to pick up the car and park it. Wu Peng saw a man in a raincoat coming to the carport near eleven o’clock in the evening.

Wu Peng didn't know if it was raining at that time, but the other party was not only wearing a raincoat, but also intentionally avoiding the camera. When he came to his car, he squatted down as if picking up something. After about a minute or two, he got up and turned his back on the camera. left with the camera.

This person is tightly wrapped and knows how to avoid the camera, obviously he is very familiar with this generation.If he guessed correctly, it should be this person,

Wu Peng didn't know if this person was a person on the Shell. He compared the figures of the men on the ship with those in the video in his mind, and gradually identified a person in his mind.

Could this person be related to the black hands on the ship?
Wu Peng backhandedly sent the video to Zhang Lin, and then called back.
