The car drove rapidly on the road, and the deeper it went into Tahiti town, the more dilapidated and outdated it became.

Hani said sadly, "How long has it been since I came back? Why does it feel like it's been a century?"

Wang Bo patted his shoulder and said, "Things are different, everything is done. Life is like this. Many times you suddenly look back and find that the road behind you is so strange."

Charlie laughed and said, "Okay guys, don't pretend to be poets and philosophers here. Tahiti town was put on the revocation list two years ago. Isn't it normal for its destruction?"

Hani sighed: "It's normal, but it's too different from what I remember."

After entering the town, the difference is even greater.

Vines are crawling on the walls of small buildings on both sides of the road. Due to seasonal reasons, the vines turn gray-green. When the autumn wind blows, it feels like depression is spreading.

Most houses were abandoned, with mottled walls, broken windows and empty spaces in some places, which was the reason why the entire house was moved away.

They walked around the town along the main road, but then saw no pedestrian. The shops that still open only have a convenience store and a restaurant.

The last time Wang Bo came here, he visited Hani and persuaded him to go to Sunset Town.

At that time, Tahiti town was a very good country town, peaceful and peaceful, with people coming and going, with cafes, fast food restaurants, flower shops, supermarkets and cinemas.

Looking into the distance, he remembered that he could see farms and pastures at that time. When he got close, he would find that there were many cattle and sheep lying lazily on the grassland.

Now, all these shops are closed and the farms are closed.

The locust plague some time ago also covered Tahiti town. The farms and pastures in the town became even worse, and even green grass was hard to see. They were either dry weeds or exposed land after being gnawed off by locusts.

In the town, some old buildings were scattered. Under Hani's leadership, Wang Bo looked at them one by one.

Captain Barley's House, Summer Banquet, Easter Ceremony Market and Labor Day Market, London Stables, Coopers, Belphiste and Julie Cereals Store, etc.

What surprised him was that these buildings were well protected compared to surrounding houses, such as people cleaning them regularly. Although the glass was dirty, there was not much dust inside.

Wang Bo wanted to find the cleaning man, but Hani shook his head and said, "You can't find it here. I'll tell you who is cleaning up these places later."

After wandering around, they drove onto the road. When they passed a two-story building, Wang Bo signaled Uncle Bing to stop.

This is the place Hani rented when he was working in the town. The group got out of the car. Wang Bo looked at the entrance and shook his head and said, "Lock the door."

Uncle Bing lay on the window and looked in, saying, "No one lives in it anymore, furniture and electrical appliances have been moved away, there are colonies of ants and cockroaches on the floor, and rat holes in the corner of the wall."

Hani said: "Yes, Mrs. Finch moved out early, and I should thank him for her tolerate me when I was at the worst."

Wang Bo still had an impression of the landlord's wife and asked, "Does this Mrs. Finch have something interesting to you?"

Hani laughed and said, "Maybe, but when she was young, she liked women."

Wang Bo said in surprise: "She is Lala? Then why do you call her wife?"

Hani nodded and said, "Yes, Mrs. Finch is the teasing name everyone gave her. After a long time, it has become a formal name."

After watching the house for a while, Hani directed and they went to the convenience store.

In the shop, two old men were lying on the counter watching TV. When they heard the door ringing, they didn't turn around. Only one old man said in a dry voice: "What do you want to buy?"

Hani went over to pat the counter and said, "Old Kaft, look, who is here?"

The old man turned his head in surprise when he heard his voice, saw Hani's appearance clearly and said, "My God, inspector, why are you back? I have not evaded taxes, because there is no tax point in the town."

Wang Bo laughed. It seemed that Hani's selflessness had left a deep impression on the local vendors.

Hani took a bottle of beer and said, "I don't know about it."

The other old man also turned around, with his expression like Kaft, glaring and opening his mouth.

"Inspector, am I seeing a ghost? Is this what you said?"

"You mean he's dead? I don't feel like it."

Hani laughed and said, "I will definitely live longer than you. Don't worry, I'm living well now."

Kraft said in surprise: "Can you say such a thing? This is not the inspector I know."

Hani shrugged, "We will all change, and what we remember will change sooner or later."

Charlie touched Wang Bo with his elbow and whispered: "It seems that today really affects Hani. How did he become a philosopher?"

Wang Bo regretted it a little. He had known that he would not have brought Hani back. Obviously, this guy was very nostalgic and still had some thoughts about Tahiti Town.

No wonder he has not gotten married yet. He thought, maybe the old guy will still not forget his dead wife.

He stood at the door and looked at the dilapidated town of Tahiti, and now he understood why Mayor Robert was so targeted by him five years ago.

Tahiti Town relies too much on Highway 8. When the road is changed to a road, he knew that the town would collapse.

After being the mayor, he could understand this mood. Seeing his most precious thing gradually fade, he felt unacceptable just by thinking about it.

However, this is also a bit of the fact that Tahiti Town is not strong enough. Luo Sun Town has only been developing for five or six years. Even if the road 8 is now diverted, the townspeople can still survive there well.

The two old men recognized him one after another and said, "If you are with Hani, you must be Mr. Wang, the mayor of Sunset Town?"

Wang Bo smiled and said, "I know, do you want to smash me with a bottle of wine now?"

"No, I'm killing you with a kitchen knife!" Kaft said angrily.

The other old man was rational: "This has nothing to do with him, it is the decision of the country."

Wang Bo asked: "When did the town become like this?"

Kraft had a cigarette and said slowly: "When did it become like this? I can't remember it, it has become like this step by step. In the past three or four years, people have moved away every week, and then it ended up like this."

"Then why don't you move away? Is there any point in staying here?"

Another old man smiled and said, "Where are we moving? This is our home. We have lived here for seventy years, were born here, grew up here, where did we move?"

"Anyway, we live on pensions, where we stay is different? We are more familiar with everything here, and supported by Kraft's convenience store, so there is nothing here."
