Why is My Second Dimension Weird?

Xu Ming asked in surprise:

"Then who pays your rent? Who signed the rental contract with?"

"Contract? There are not enough people to live in this shabby place for 50 yuan a month. What kind of contract do you sign? You can live in it every month. As for the rent..."

Old Qian looked at Xu Ming suspiciously.

"We handed them over to the guards directly~ Pretty boy, don't you?"

"Me? I rented the house for me from the newspaper, so I don't know much about it."

Xu Ming casually typed a haha.

Lao Qian nodded and didn't go into it. He was more interested in the stir-fried sea crab in front of him, and he was trying to pry open the crab shell.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, and tried to pout his mouth at the old iron opposite.

"Old Tie used to be a teacher. He knows some people from the Land Administration Department. He may know more."

Lao Tie glared at him, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction with "you are talking too much, and you are dragging me into it".

Lao Qian just pretended not to see it, and gnawed on the crab by himself.

Seeing Xu Ming looking at him, Lao Tie sighed and said in a low voice:

"Don't spread this matter. At that time, one of my students was working in the Land Administration Department, and he happened to be in charge of the approval of this building.

According to him, the person who bought the land and repaired the building was named Li Wenxin. "

"Li Wenxin? Why does it sound like a woman's name?"

Xu Ming asked with some doubts.

The old iron took a sip of his beer and nodded.

"Yes, it's a woman.

It is said that her ancestors were wealthy businessmen in Tianjin, who moved to Hong Kong from the mainland to escape the war.

The woman inherited a large amount of inheritance, and she was not a local, and she was not familiar with the situation here, so she was deceived.I spent a lot of money to buy a piece of land here, built a building, and wanted to wait for the demolition to get a share of the pie, but it just rotted in my hands.

A few years ago, that woman died of illness, and it is said that she died of anger.

The Lands Department has been unable to contact her relatives, and the building has been placed under the management of the Lands Department.

But you also know that in a ghostly place like the Walled City, those people in white shirts dare to come in and collect the rent, so they hired Uncle Ping, who is the guard and responsible for collecting the rent. "

The old iron was dry, so he picked up the wine glass and took a big sip. When he looked up, he saw the old money looking at him playfully, with a clear expression on his face, and said, "Okay, old boy, you are right." Are these gossips not of interest?'

Old Tie couldn't help coughing twice in a low voice in embarrassment.

"What is the origin of this Uncle Ping, that the Land Administration Department is so confident that he will collect the rent of the entire building?"

This building has a total of 18 floors, with 20 households on each floor. Based on the calculation of 15 households on each floor, the monthly rent is 18*15*50=13500. In this era, this is not a small amount of money.

Isn't the Lands Department afraid that this Uncle Ping will take the money and run away?

The old iron shook his head.

"It is said that this Uncle Ping used to be a cadre in the Land Administration Department, and later retired. His son is still working in the Land Administration Department. He is an absolutely reliable person, so the Land Administration Department can trust him to take care of the entire building. .”

Xu Ming was taken aback, never expecting that an old doorman has a lot of background.

Could his surname be Qin...

A weird thought popped up in Xu Ming's mind, but he heard Lao Qian interrupted.

"I've also heard something about this building."

Lao Qian waved the crab leg in his hand and said seriously:

"It is said that in order to pay more for the demolition, the woman surnamed Li built an underground parking lot under the building.

As a result, the house was not demolished, cars couldn't get in this damn place, and the underground parking lot was completely useless. "

When Lao Qian said this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, with a hint of gloating in his misfortune.

But the underground parking lot he mentioned caught Xu Ming's attention.

Where is the darkest place in this building?

It's not the rooftop on the 18th floor, but the rumored parking lot that has been sealed off!

"Brother, there is an underground parking lot in this building? Why have I never seen it before?"

Xu Ming asked curiously.

Old Qian laughed.

"Of course you haven't seen it. After the parking lot is repaired, cars can't park in it. Instead, people from clubs and people who suck money often hide in it.

After a long time, the police station believed that there was a potential safety hazard and forced the underground parking lot to be sealed. "

"Where is the entrance to the parking lot?"

Xu Ming asked again. He had a hunch that this blocked parking lot might be the place he was looking for.

This time, Lao Qian shook his head.

"The entrance and exit of the parking lot have been covered with cement, and a wall has been built outside the elevator. Only the door inside the stairs is not sealed, but locked, and the key is in Uncle Ping's hand."

"So that's how it is..."

Xu Ming responded casually, and at the same time kept this key information firmly in his heart.

Xu Ming was thinking about how to get into the underground parking lot when he suddenly heard Lao Qian muttering something in a low voice.

"Strange, why is A-Lian not coming back so late today?"

Xu Ming's body shook, and he looked at Lao Qian in surprise.

"Old Qian, do you know Alian?"

Lao Qian picked up a pair of fried golden sandworms with chopsticks and put them into his mouth, and began to chew, but his head shook like a rattle.

"How could a poor man like me know that kind of beautiful girl.

However, every time Lao Tie and I drink at night, Alian will come back around 9:10, and it will not exceed [-]:[-] at the latest.

You see it's almost 11 o'clock now. "

Old Qian said and pointed to the wall clock in the opposite shop.

Lao Tie also touched his chin, with a little doubt on his face.

"This place is not safe, so every time we meet A-Lian at night, she always comes back on time. Did something happen today?"

"Where does Alian work?"

Xu Ming immediately stood up and asked anxiously.

"It's at a place called 'Ahao Tea Restaurant' on the street opposite the Walled City."

Old Qian was taken aback, and replied subconsciously.

"Two brothers, I have to leave first."

After leaving a sentence, Xu Ming hurriedly checked out and left the food stall.

"Little boy, go slowly!"

Lao Qian waved at Xu Ming's leaving back, with an ambiguous smile on his face, he obviously misunderstood something.The impatient Xu Ming naturally did not see the ambiguous expression on Lao Qian's face.

He hurriedly left the Kowloon Walled City and came to the street outside.

This was the first time he had left the city for several days.

Hong Kong outside the Walled City is simply two worlds compared to the Walled City.

Even though it is now approaching midnight, the streets are still full of traffic, and the neon lights on the buildings in the distance are constantly flashing, turning Hong Kong under the night into a colorful world.

It's a pity that Xu Ming didn't have the heart to appreciate these night scenes.

He crossed the avenue, and a street full of storefronts appeared ahead of him.

Xu Ming followed the signboards one by one to find them.

Dewang Tea House...Youzhi Electric...Ah, Ahao Tea Restaurant!found it!

Soon Xu Ming found the tea restaurant that Lao Qian mentioned.

At this time, the restaurant seems to be closed, the door is closed, and the lights inside are dim.

Xu Ming came to the door and looked inside. The chairs were all placed on the table, and only one lamp was left. A man and a woman were standing at the innermost cash register, talking quietly.

Xu Ming couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Just someone.

So Xu Ming immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

The man and woman raised their heads immediately when they heard the voice. The two of them were Xiong Sihai, the owner of the restaurant, and his wife.

Xiong Sihai subconsciously put a polite smile on his face.

"Sorry, we're closed."

"Where's Alian?"

Xu Ming asked straight to the point.

A flustered expression immediately appeared on Xiong Sihai's face.

Xu Ming saw his strangeness in his eyes, and he knew it all at once.

Xiong Sihai's wife seemed to want to say something, but Xiong Sihai secretly gave her a look, and then pretended to be confused.

"A-Lian? Who is A-Lian?"

"Isn't she working here with you?"

Xu Ming frowned slightly, his expression had cooled down.

"You misunderstood the person, we don't have anyone named Alian here."

Xiong Sihai replied pretending to be calm.
