The mouth was constantly flowing with blood, the stench was stinking, Chai Xu felt that his legs were already weak, and his will to stay sober was already the limit, what kind of fate would he end, Chai Xu didn't dare to think about it, he knew that he was in trouble, he was in great trouble...

This is only the first day that he has entered society, why is the world so unfair and cruel to him Chai Xu...

Rub Ka –

The sound of plastic bags suddenly sounded, and then, the top of Chai Xu's head, that is, on the table, suddenly lit up with a blue light.

At the moment when the blue light was in full bloom, the terrible woman in front of her seemed to be frightened, and her figure disappeared without a trace in an instant, and at the same time, the lights in the room were also turned on.

Before Chai Xu could react, there was a bang, the door was knocked open, Li Chuan seemed to be too strong, and after hitting the door, he rolled and fell to the ground, right in front of Chai Xu's eyes.

“... Ouch, this... I couldn't kick it open just now, why did it suddenly open... My old waist. ”

Chai Xu hurriedly climbed out from under the table, helped Li Chuan up, and said tremblingly.

“... Go, go... Get out of the house, quick!"

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, looked at the table, and sure enough, there was a faint blue light shining in the pocket where he was buying vegetables, and it was this light that saved him just now.

Without any extra thoughts, almost subconsciously, Chai Xu threw himself in front of the table, threw the meat and vegetables inside to the ground, and finally found an ancient coin at the bottom of his pocket that didn't look like anything, and the coin was faintly flashing with blue light around it.

I don't know when I put this thing in my pocket, but it was the light from this thing that saved me.

He clenched the coin, turned around and grabbed Li Chuan's arm, and before he even had time to close the door, the two of them ran downstairs in one breath, running out of the old neighborhood, and when they came to the slightly spacious street, Li Chuan couldn't help it, he shook off Chai Xu's hand, bent down, and asked breathlessly.

“... Boy, don't, don't run, ha, ha... Ha... Don't run, my old body can't stand it... Ha... Just now, what the hell was going on just now. ”

Chai Xu looked around and found that although it was completely dark at this time, there were many shops on this street that were open, and under the light and bustling passers-by, the thrilling atmosphere just now was diluted a lot.

He was relieved.

“... Uncle... I also wanted to ask you... Didn't you just say that my business had something to do with the pawn shop? No... It's not what you said..."

Chai Xu pressed his forehead, and then realized that the person who said this to him just now was not Li Chuan at all, but something that he didn't know what it was.

“... I don't know what you've been through, and I don't know what you've been up to, but I do have something about the pawn shop... can tell you. ”

Chai Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately pressed Li Chuan's shoulder and said.

“... Uncle, Uncle Li, tell me, I'm really going crazy, why did I encounter these things. ”

Li Chuan didn't shake off Chai Xu this time, he raised his eyes and looked at a shop on the left, raised his head at Chai Xu, and said.

"Let's go, talk while eating, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Chai Xu also found that they were standing at the door of a small hot pot restaurant, this hot pot restaurant is very small, it belongs to the kind of small hot pot in the market, there are only five tables in the store, and the business is relatively bleak, there is only one table of customers in total.

Chai Xu and Li Chuan deliberately chose the innermost position, which was far away from the guests at the other table.

Li Chuan asked for a spicy pot bottom and ordered some dishes, Chai Xu didn't have any appetite, no wonder, he still had the bloody smell from the mouth of that thing just now in his nose, how could he be able to eat so quickly.

But wine is a good thing for him now, he is in a hurry to leave everything behind, as soon as the snowflake comes up, he can't wait to open the bottle cap with the corner of the table, and take a few sips, and he just dried half a bottle in one go, and Li Chuan was stunned for a while.

"Baby, you drink slowly, you can't drink like this. ”

Li Chuan snatched the wine bottle and poured a small glass into Chai Xu's cup, Chai Xu drank it all again, so frightened that Li Chuan hurriedly received the other three bottles of wine to his side.

"Lao Tzu should let you drink Wang Laoji's. ”

Li Chuan couldn't help but complain for a while, but Chai Xu didn't react at all, just lowered his head, still holding the ancient coin tightly in his hand, for him now, this ancient coin can be regarded as a lifesaver, and even he doubts... Is this Li Chuan really Li Chuan, and has he really escaped from that terrible house?

"Okay, if you want to drink, wait until the two of us are resting and drink it again, you and I have to go to work tomorrow, the hangover is not good, so let's stop." ”

Li Chuan scalded some beef and sandwiched it into Chai Xu's bowl, and said with a sigh.

"Alas... Your uncle asked me to take good care of you, I'm ashamed, it's only the first day, you have encountered this kind of thing, and blame me for not being in the office in the morning, so that Lao Zhu's trick succeeded, this master is too unkind, none of them persuaded you not to go to the pawn shop?"

Chai Xu shook his head dumbly, thinking about it, although those colleagues all had different faces when they knew that they were going to the pawn shop to issue the notice documents, some ridiculed, some sympathized, some were pitiful, some were puzzled, and some were even watching a good show.

But no one really stood up and said to Chai Xu, "Be careful." ”

Thinking of this, he felt a sour feeling in his heart, but now he wanted to know more about what had happened to him and what was the difference between him and the pawn shop.

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask right now, and it stands to reason that I can't tell you, because these things have all been gag by the top, and everyone who knows about them has signed a confidentiality agreement, but since you are in prison, you are in the middle of it... Then Uncle will tell you about it, but you must not spread the word. ”

Chai Xu's head nodded like a rattle, even if he was asked to send Li Chuan to the end of his life, as long as he could know the truth of the matter, he would never say anything, pinch his shoulders and beat his back, and shout uncle, he would definitely not be ambiguous.

"Well, look at the child, this thing... I can't tell where it came from, because even I don't know what these things are, where its head is... All I can tell you about the first incident that I know of... At that time, I was a trainee police officer..."

[In the following, for the sake of narrative convenience, we will recount the old past from Li Chuan's perspective.] 〕

That year, I was originally just a student of the Sports Institute, but because of my good background in political examination and excellent conditions, I was admitted to the Public Security University, and after graduation, I was assigned to the Dongcheng District Police Station in City C.

At that time, City C was not like today, no matter what Dongcheng, West District, South Bank, Jiangbei, it was the same, although the South Bank and Jiangbei had been planned and rebuilt under the investment of the Lu Foundation, but for a while and a half still could not get rid of the old appearance of poverty.

And this Dongcheng was not the most difficult boundary at that time, after all, everyone was poor.

At that time, the security in Dongcheng was poor, and there were frequent incidents of petty theft and theft everywhere, and even robbed women on the street... Well... Women's lingerie...

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Dongcheng will not be on the renovation agenda for a long time in the future.

In a word, at that time, Dongcheng was a mixed place, coupled with old buildings, difficult investigations, and many forces entrenched, the top could not be ignored, as long as no one died.

In the past, there were many old communities near the old park, which were the kind of old ones that you can only see in movies, the kind of communities that were not in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, boxy... The middle is empty and the floors are not high.

And that time, it happened on such a cold winter night...

I remember very well that day, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the police forces were basically sent to all sides of the streets to maintain law and order.

At that time, City C was trying to choose a capital of various honors, and the momentum of development was very good, and these things were even more sloppy, so that night, when almost all the police forces in the station were dispatched, only me, a rookie intern, and another big brother were left.

This big brother used to be the second-in-command of the famous criminal investigation team in C City, and after retirement, he was hired back to work as an instructor at the Dongcheng Police Station, and my main partner was also this big brother back then.

His name... I can't reveal it for the time being, his surname is Liu, and he is generally called Lao Liu, and it was very cold that night, and there was a drizzle... Not to mention, it's a bit like today's weather.

There was no heating at that time, the conditions were even worse than now, and the wind was leaking everywhere, so the two of us wrapped two winter duty coats in order to keep warm.

“... Okay, Uncle Li, you said the point, you talk like this, I'm afraid that you will be drunk before I finish listening. ”

Chai Xu couldn't help but interrupt Li Chuan, who frowned dissatisfiedly and muttered, "Young people have to be patient." ”

Then he continued.

That incident happened that night, when I and Brother Liu stayed at the office, I was in charge of wiring, he was in charge of picking up people, oh, counting the old man Wang at the door, a total of three people.

Approaching 12 o'clock, when the two of us were watching the New Year's Eve party of a satellite TV, in those years, we had very few entertainment projects, and it was already a very luxurious thing to have a small TV to watch some evening programs.

But that's when it happened...

At the moment when the bell rings, the old is said goodbye and the new year arrives, the phone suddenly rings.

I hurriedly asked Lao Liu to turn off the TV, and then picked up the phone, there was silence on the other end of the phone, and then suddenly a scream broke out, and a woman's voice rang from the other end of the phone.

"Hey... Hello, I called the police. ”

"Oh, hello, comrade, this is the Dongcheng Police Station, tell me about the situation, what's going on with the screaming just now?"

“... Hello, I called the police... I... I heard screams coming from the house upstairs in my house... And the sound of fighting, it's terrible..."

"Comrade, please don't worry, tell me your address, and we will send police officers to the scene immediately. ”

Then I heard a rustle on the other end of the phone... It's like a sound that doesn't have a good signal, and I'm trying to distinguish between the rustling and the other sounds.

Suddenly there was another scream, and I almost fell to the ground, but immediately, the woman's voice came from the microphone.

“... No. 3 Wutong Road, Liulichang Community... No. 444, 4th Floor. ”
