Chameleon, is a kind of animal that can change the color of its skin with the color of the environment, in reality, it is often used to describe unpredictable, scheming people as chameleons, they meet people and talk about people, they talk about ghosts, they are very good at meeting other people's preferences, so they are also called chameleons.
Russian writer Chekhov's novel "Chameleon", the story revolves around Sheriff Ochumelov's speculation about the owner of the dog, and played a lot of tricks, in full view of everyone, a moment of kung fu actually conjured up a lot of faces, really a natural good actor!
One day, Sheriff Ochumelov and his subordinates, walking down the street, seemed to be looking for the next target they could search for. The policeman had in his hand a coarse basket full of gooseberries, but the currants were not bought by themselves, but confiscated, and it is not known why they confiscated them and who confiscated them.
At this moment, a jeweler named Heliukin, bored, burned the face of a dog with cigar smoke and tried to make fun of the dog, but unexpectedly, the dog came up and bit one of his fingers out of the blood. Helyukin scolded angrily, "How dare you bite, damn thing!" ”
Heliukin cursed and grinned, but the dog also screamed without showing weakness, as if to fight back helyukin's scolding. The dog ran on three legs in front, and Hlyukin ran after the dog in the back. Finally caught the dog's hind legs.
At this time, it was already crowded with people watching the liveliness, and Sheriff Ochumelov and his subordinates also came to the front, and they also had to watch it well and wonder what was going on. As a police chief, isn't it his duty to maintain social order?
Because of flirting with the dog, the dog-bitten Hlyukin stood in the middle of the crowd, raised his right hand, and held out the bloody finger that had been bitten by the dog for people to see. As if the dog's owner was about to come out and confess his sins, he raised his finger and said to the dog, "I'm going to skin you, badass!" ”
The little white-haired hound was sitting on the ground at this time, and its eyes showed a look of fear, as if it knew that it had run into a catastrophe, waiting for everyone to fall.
Sheriff Ochumelov, who was watching in the crowd, recognized the man as a jeweler, Heryudin, and he stepped forward and asked, "What happened?" ”
Heliukin poured bitter water out with grievances, saying that he was walking well, he did not recruit anyone and did not provoke anyone, he was talking to others about the timber business, and suddenly, this bad thing bit his finger...
He also said, "I'm a worker. ...... My work is meticulous. Suddenly I was bitten by a dog, and it cost me a sum of money, because I might not be able to move this finger for a week..."
Looking at the scene of this person's evidence and physical evidence, Hlyukin was right, he was indeed bitten by a dog, and it had affected his work. As sheriff, Ochumelov, although passing by, had to stand up and preside over the "justice".
Sheriff Ochumelov asked sternly, "Whose dog is this?" I can't ignore this kind of thing. I've got to come up with some color for the people who let the dogs go...! He also ordered the subordinate policeman to find out whose dog it was, and said that he was going to beat the dog to death. As if he couldn't wait for the investigation, and wanted to preside over the "justice" in advance, he once again asked the crowd, whose dog is this?
Suddenly, a man in the crowd said. "This dog looks like it belongs to General Sigalov's house!"
When Sheriff Ochumelov heard that it was General Sigalov's dog, he was startled and feverish, so he asked his policeman to take off his coat.
He immediately changed his face, and he said to Heliukin, how did he bite you? "Is it enough to get your fingers?" It's so short, you're so tall! Seeing that the words were poor, Sheriff Ochumelov made up that Hlyukin's fingers were mostly punctured by small nails, and said that who knows what the road number of such people is...
The sheriff's words were ugly and sharp, and they were almost as good as what he said at the beginning.
At this time, someone also interceded for the dog, sir, he poked his cigar into the dog's face and made the dog happy. Naturally, the dog did not allow him to bully himself, so he bit him. ”
The big guy saw that the dog that bit Heliukin was a puppy, not necessarily a number of expensive dogs, and besides, only that kind of large, valuable dog was worthy of the status of a general, and the puppy in front of him did not necessarily meet the temperament of a general.
So the policeman thought hard and said that there was no such dog in the general's house, and that the dog in his house should be a big hound.
The sheriff and the policeman greeted each other for a while, and the sheriff asked, is it accurate? The policeman said, "Get it right, Sheriff..."
Therefore, the sheriff changed his previous view, the dogs in the general's family are all noble, they are all of good breed, this dog, the coat color is not good, the appearance is not good... Will the general's family have such a dog? He said to Heliukin again, you have suffered, you can't let this matter go unchecked, you have to teach them a lesson.
And the policeman, out of caution, told the sheriff that it might also be the general's dog, and the dog's face did not write who the owner was. Someone in the crowd echoed, "Yes, it's the general's house." ”
At this moment, Sheriff Ochumelov seemed to feel that it was cold, and asked the policeman to put on his coat. This time, he stopped speaking, and to make sure he was safe, he asked the police to take the dog to the general's house. However, although he did not accuse Helyukin of anything, he did accuse Sang of saying something ugly.
After a while, the cook of the general's house came, and the cook did not think much about it, saying that they had never had such a dog there.
This time, the sheriff thought that even if he came to a conclusion, if this dog was not from the general's family, it might be from the family of an ordinary person, and he could dispose of it at will, so he said, since it is a wild dog, then kill it.
But the cook suddenly remembered that although the general's family did not have such a dog, the general's brother came a few days ago, and the general's brother liked this dog.
Having just said that it was a wild dog, and said that it was dead, this time it became the dog of the general's brother, and the sheriff said in a tentative tone: "Could it be that his old man's brother has come?" He also pretended that the general and his brother were on the scene and said some compliments.
In the blink of an eye, he shifted the topic from the dog to the general and the general's brother. By the way, the dog was mentioned again, "This little dog is weird." ...... Pretty clever. He also said triumphantly, it bit this guy's finger! Hahahahaha!
Under the trial of the sheriff, the general's cook took the biting dog, and as for the follow-up, it was naturally impossible. The group of people next to them, as if they had been fooled, laughed at poor Helyukin.
Before leaving, Sheriff Ochumelov made a triumphant response, and also threatened Hlyukin, "Sooner or later I will take care of you!" ”
In a way, Heliukin was not even as good as a dog, the dog was guarded by the dog owner, and he not only did not get compensation, but he did not even apologize. In order to determine the owner of the dog, Sheriff Ochumelov broke through the moral bottom line again and again, he changed his face countless times, and it was in full view of the public, he was not only shameless, but also felt that it was an authority, and those spectators just contributed to his prestige, and the poor victim finally lost to a dog!
