Ever since I knew the fat man, I didn't seem to have seen him cry, and when he was a child, he was scolded by the teacher for not doing well in exams, and he was always giggling. Not to mention the fights, there were a few times when I saw blood and dislocated bones, and I still talked and laughed.

The fat man drove the car, and this guy has had his driver's license for a year, but he doesn't drive much, and he is quite careful when he goes on the road. I sat in the passenger seat, and the trees flashed along the road, but the fields in the distance didn't seem to change, five years ago, ten years ago, maybe ten years from here.

Neither of us spoke, and such silence was rare for our brothers, who had grown from small to large.

"Fat ......"

I opened my mouth to break the silence.

"Don't say it, we've known each other for more than ten years, and there are some things that don't need to be explained. ”

The fat man stared ahead and spoke.

I shut my mouth and tried to say the reason in my heart, the engine made a "boom" sound, it was not a good car, and after a moment I smiled and said, "You will definitely be able to drive a good car you like in the future." ”

"Well, when the time comes, we'll go all over China. ”

He replied firmly, but I smiled slightly, and I didn't know if there would be such a day.

In less than an hour, the car entered the town, and after finding a random place to park, I asked the fat man to wait in the car and walked in the direction of the public phone. At that time, in addition to some commissaries that would install telephones to make money, there were also special public telephone stores, about one or two telephones, and the charges for calling the city and long-distance were different. I entered the door, and the proprietress glanced at me and asked, "Local or long-distance?"

"In the city. ”

I pulled out a dollar and put it on the table.

"If you can't get through, there is no charge, even if you get through, even if you get through, you can play for an hour. Give me the number and I'll dial it for you. ”

The proprietress took the money and asked me for the number.

A minute later, she held up the phone and said, "It's done." ”

If you don't make a phone call or report back to the prison on time, you may be counted as an escape, and then the matter will be a big problem. Of course, bail is also time-limited, but it is basically the same, plus you do not have any illegal records and maintain a good image, you can continue to issue bail. Therefore, once you step out of the prison door, as long as you are a good person, you will not go back.

The person who answered my phone call was a young man at first, and he made a note of my location and whereabouts after I reported it. Just as I was about to hang up the phone, I didn't expect a different person on the other end of the phone, and a somewhat deep and old voice came.

"Ba Xiaoshan. ”

He just said my name without calling me my prison number.

"Who are you?"

I asked curiously.

"My surname is Zhao, you don't have to know what department it is, now I have some information to check with you. ”

Listening to his tone, he seemed to be a person with some status, and the tone of his words was not very polite.

"A few days ago, there was a circus homicide in Shanghai, I heard that you were there at the time, and the cause of the deceased's death is still related to you?"

When the surname Zhao mentioned this, I immediately chuckled in my heart, my face stiffened slightly, and I hurriedly said: "This matter actually has nothing to do with me, I just came to the stage as an audience to help, and I didn't kill the person." Also, my friends at the time, including a lot of the audience, were able to testify for me, so I really didn't ......."

Before I could finish speaking, the other side of the phone had already rudely interrupted my voice and scolded: "I have the investigation report and transcript here! I don't need you to tell me what happened at that time! To be honest, there is a problem with you that you can be released on bail, and you are not very comfortable after you are released on bail, and you have violated a lot of bail regulations, do you think we don't know?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, and for no reason I thought that I would only be killed in a year, and that I would be sent to the incinerator by this time next year, and what the hell would I do? ”

"To put it simply, this case is unusual, I have some information about you, and I know that you are doing something that ordinary people don't know about or even hear of. If you don't want to be imprisoned, or if you don't want to implicate your friends, cooperate with us and help us investigate this murder together. ”

He said this strangely, and it involved the fat people, and I immediately asked in displeasure, "What do you mean? This has nothing to do with my friend!"

"It doesn't matter if you say it, you violated the bail regulations, naturally you have something to do with the people around you, they are also breaking the law, they are considered your accomplices, strictly speaking, I can send someone to arrest you all right now!"

"Don't touch my friend. ”

At this moment, the voice was almost squeezing out of my throat, with a cold feeling.

"As long as you cooperate with us and help us solve this case, we will naturally turn a blind eye to you. First of all, you have to go back to your accommodation in Shanghai in the last few days, and we have someone who will contact you and take you through the situation. Don't want to run, you can't run. ”

The phone hung up at once, I held the receiver, looked at the proprietress sitting on the edge of the counter, I couldn't have made the wrong call, what was the origin of the surname Zhao just now? It seems to be very mysterious, and I know me very well, listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that he has a lot of means.

"I'll get you five cents back. ”

Lao Bainiang threw a coin to me, I nodded, put the money away and walked out. But when I walked to the fat man's car, I knocked on the glass window but no one opened the door, and after a closer look, I didn't know where this guy went.

"Strange ......"

I muttered and looked around, there were not many people in the town, most of them were houses, and there were only a few shops, and they were all small and you could see through them at a glance.

"What about people, fat people?"

I shouted a few times but didn't hear a response, I panicked all of a sudden, I just received that call, could it be that the person surnamed Zhao on the phone has sent someone to control the fat man?

If this guy really moved my friend, Lao Tzu wouldn't have many days to live anyway, so it's a big deal to fight with him!

When I was panicking and anxious, I saw that in the corner behind me, the fat man showed half of his body and beckoned to me.

Hurriedly walked over, opened his mouth and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The fat man leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Look ahead." ”

Looking up at the alley ahead, it was quiet, with a few bicycles parked against the wall, the doors and windows were closed, and no TV or radio was heard. But in this piece of peace, there is a somewhat out of place person.

It was a man in a black cloak, sitting against the wall, with a rag on the ground in front of him, and some gadgets on it, for some reason, after my eyes fell on him, I felt that his whole person seemed to be different from the surrounding environment, whether it was a certain kind of breath wrong, or a different aura. It's like a black one among countless white flowers, bright and distinctive, but it gives people a gloomy feeling.

"I just saw that you hadn't come yet, so I locked the car and wanted to look for you, but as soon as I got to the mouth of the alley, I saw him sitting inside. I don't know why, just looking at him makes me feel uncomfortable, you see, is there any reason?"

The fat man is practicing the gods, and it is not once or twice to invite the law boy to go on the body, even if he does not practice the mental method, but he also has a sense of the surrounding environment. Yin Qi ghosts, strange objects, some of which feel indescribable, but the body will truthfully give feedback to the brain.

To be honest, I felt very uncomfortable when I saw the man in the black cloak, not only because of the strange costume he was wearing, but more because of the knick-knacks on the ground in front of him.

It doesn't seem to be a serious thing to sell.

"Don't be nosy, let's go. ”

I didn't really want to deal with such strange strangers, and I was about to pull the fat man away, but as soon as I turned around, a childish call suddenly came to my ears.

"Buy me. ”

I subconsciously looked back after hearing it, and the voice that had just sounded in my ears was not the auditory hallucinations that had occurred many times before, but like the voice of a child.
