Chapter 69: The Great Fortune and Prosperity of a Noble Family, Great Calamity and Good Omen

  The case is over, and life on the cold bench continues.

  The next day, I and a few other colleagues were sent to attend a lecture. The driver kept glancing at me through the rearview mirror and said, "I'm quite accurate with fortune-telling, little girl, let me read your fortune?"

  The driver's surname is Luo, he rarely tells fortunes for people, but he "doesn't divine then suddenly surprises", many people want to find him to have their fortune told. Don't look at all the police here, a lot of people are superstitious.

  "I don't believe in fate," I said.

  "Her temper doesn't need to be calculated, no one will marry her," he said, turning his head to me. "Little Qin isn't the one I'm talking about, it's just that I'm magnanimous and see that you're small and an old maid, so I won't bother with you..."

  A man spoke so viciously, I took a deep breath and narrowed my eyes slightly, "Shut up, or else I'll poke fourteen holes in you, believe it or not?!"

  The forensic doctor wanted to say more, but seeing my unpleasant expression, he shut his mouth.

  The driver monk said: "This lecture is boring, to put it bluntly, the factory is promoting its products. Little girl, if you feel bored, come out and find me, I'll tell your fortune."

  ……

  The driver monk is very experienced, and the lecture is indeed super boring. He talks about mass spectrometry instruments, which are definitely more interesting than fortune-telling. Nobody notices me, so I sneak out to the parking lot to play with the driver monk.

  The driver was sleeping in the car, snoring loudly. When he heard me knock on the window, he yawned and pulled out a used paper cup from the glove compartment. The cup had been crushed flat, but he managed to prop it up and then took out a pair of chopsticks and started shaking them casually.

  I sat in the car and took a look, saying: "Master, this sign was cut with an old chopstick yesterday, the cutting marks haven't been smoothed out yet, and when you get close to it, there's still a strong smell of rice and dishes."

  "This is the way." The driver monk didn't even lift an eyebrow, shook it a few more times, and stretched out to signal me to take one.

  What's good about this, there are no words or marks on it, each one is almost the same, I casually picked one for him to see what kind of tricks he can play.

  The driver-monk looked back at him with a serious expression, furrowing his brow and saying: "Your fate is quite rare..."

  I said: "I haven't even asked for anything yet, whether it's a good marriage or wealth and honor, don't you have to say what you're asking for before drawing the lots?"

  The driver looked at me and said unhappily: "I'm doomed."

  "Alright, what about my life then?"

  "I give you eight characters: great wealth and honor, great disaster and good fortune."

  "It's only half right, Master. In our line of work, we often have narrow escapes, and if nothing happens, it's a great blessing, but becoming extremely wealthy and honored is absolutely impossible. You're not qualified to be a fortune teller, you can't even calculate properly."

  The driver monk said unhappily: "Believe it or not, since we have a predestined relationship, I'll give you four more words: Go with the flow."

  I told the master, these four words can be used for anything, just like blood type and horoscope analysis. For example, the fortune for Aries next week is "a bunch of seemingly simple but actually complicated small things will make you worry, especially in interpersonal relationships and financial aspects". It looks quite accurate, but actually this sentence can be applied to any constellation or person, who doesn't have some annoying little worries in life? This level of psychological technique isn't even worth mentioning, it's just a word game.

  The driver monk was embarrassed, took back his set of Buddhist instruments, and shouted at me to get off the car, "Go away! Don't disturb my sleep, even if you've fulfilled your destiny, don't come looking for me again!"

  Alright, I won't disturb your sleep anymore.

  I went to a cafe to read for a while, and when the lecture was about to end, I rushed back with great anticipation, wanting to occupy two seats by myself, haha. Because this kind of lecture always has a lucky draw at the end, I thought that today's auspicious words would bring me good luck, maybe I could win a prize? But in the end... I didn't even get picked!

  Several seat numbers have been drawn and are now empty. These were provided by those manufacturers who did advertising, the prizes were not big, many people left early.

  If it was a seat number that corresponded to no one, the organizer would re-draw, and I would get more and more hopeful as they drew ten or so in a row. In the end, I still ended up disappointed - someone else in the first row and one of my colleagues got picked, but not me.

  Today was a bad day, didn't win the prize, and my mom called to ask about Wang Yong, "Baby, how's your relationship with Wang Yong? I heard he got transferred, how often do you two talk on the phone?"

  "Never mind, where's the phone? But he sent me two gifts, very valuable, what does he mean?"

  "Hey! What else can I say, silly girl, I like you!"

  "But he never said..."

  "Stupid, a man giving money to a woman is pretty much it! What else do you want him to say?"

  "But it's also possible that they're just exchanging gifts between friends, or maybe... there are other reasons... Ah..."

  "Can there be friendship between men and women? Baby, listen to me, you're waiting for him now, he's going to be a soldier, new people are coming out one after another, can't let the newcomers take his place? How many more years can he do this? At most three years, no more than five years, either he'll die or retire, if he dies that's it, if he retires he won't come looking for you?"

  I thought about it and what Mom said sounded quite impressive, "But...what if he finds someone else, wouldn't I be waiting in vain?"

  "Stupid! You won't take this opportunity to capture his heart! Besides, you have no one else, you have no choice, and even if you're idle, waiting for him is also a hope."

  Mom, am I so miserable in your heart?

  I hung up the phone, my heart was chilled to the bone. I couldn't help but complain to the driver: "Master, you said I would be rich and noble, but it seems like I won't even get a small prize! Ugh... anyway, no wealth or nobility for me! My life is absolutely miserable!!"

  The driver calmly raised his eyelids and glanced at me, saying slowly: "It's not time yet."

  "When is the timing going to arrive?"

  "Perhaps at this moment, perhaps in the eternal future."

  Wow, Master, you're absolutely right! It's exactly like what I didn't say at all!!

  But whether I believed it or not, I really started to turn my luck around.

  That day there was an alarm calling me to take pictures, the provincial hall and TV station have been cooperating all along, finding some representative and educational cases to be made into TV programs, it must be very serious to get on the program ~~

  They chose the malicious gift case that I had just cracked, but in fact this kind of malicious case is not universal and is not suitable for making an educational program. It would be better to film the Black Pig case, at least there's something positive about it. But when I brought it up, they had already released the trailer, and besides, it was specified by Director Zheng despite opposition from others, so I didn't care anymore and went to film happily, just busy asking the photographer to help me take some nice shots.

  This episode was broadcast the day after filming, causing a huge response. The ratings of "Police 110" reached a new high. On that day, they found me again and said that my previous proposal for the Black Pig case was actually good and had been approved by Director Zheng. They dragged me to Heimao Village to film.

  The house of the big fool and the second fool in the village is gone, but the well is still there, covered with dry leaves. When looking at it, the deep bottom of the well seems to have a pair of eyes staring back at us.

  I told the filming crew don't stare at the well, go catch that pig with an earring of "National Rare Disease Fund", that pig is super cute!

  The director said: "Go go go! This is the highlight of this episode. I've already sent someone ahead! Let's shoot another one where we collectively eat pork!"

  "Great~~~~""Great~~~~""The director is great!""I love you, director!"...... The wise and mighty director, listening to the cheers of support~

  As expected, this episode of Black Pig Case triggered a huge social response.

  These days I've been doing great, except for being chased by a big yellow dog in Hei Mao Zhuang Village for three streets which was quite embarrassing, everything else has been going smoothly and happily.

  I just snatched a bone from you, Dahuang, must you bear such a grudge?

  The Black Haired Pig case was shot in two episodes, and then they kept looking for me to shoot another one, "Corpse Waxing", but I didn't follow up on this case. Now I couldn't ignore it anymore, I had to know the reason behind Director Zheng's 180-degree super reversal in attitude towards me.
