"I didn't come to you to negotiate terms with you. I looked at Li Chengjiang coldly: "And you also know why I came to see you." ”

"When Sanhulu caught me, the reason why I didn't die, and I insisted on coming in to overturn the case until now, is because Sanhulu understands the rivers and lakes, and he is good enough to do things, otherwise with people like me, I would not be afraid of death, for me, it is a shame to die on the execution stage, but I still gritted my teeth and survived, and I now agree to talk to you, because I have regrets, and because of Sanhulu. Li Chengjiang spoke very calmly.

"Tell me about your conditions. "Before that, I didn't plan to agree to any conditions for Li Chengjiang, because he did the old and cold thing in the farmers' market, and it really hurt him too badly, because of his matter, I carried the identity of a wanted criminal for more than half a year, and I have always been hiding in Tibet, living a life that does not see the light of day, but when I heard him mention the three gourds in the twilight, I suddenly softened, after all, he is a dying person, and when I think of Li Chengjiang is the person who accompanied the last journey of the three gourds, I inevitably feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Li Chengjiang saw me nodding, and his expression was a little lighter: "First, from now on, until I am executed, I will eat and drink well, since you can gather so many people in this cell, it means that your background is not small, so before I am executed, don't let the corrections clean me up, let me keep the last trace of dignity on the road." ”

"Yes. ”

"Second, after you go out, call a phone number, tell him about my execution, and then remit 500 yuan to him, which is my son's tuition fee this year, and my son's name is Li Haode. ”

"Hmm. I heard that Li Chengjiang only needed five hundred yuan, nodded slightly, and handed him the cigarette case: "You find something and write down the phone number." ”

"Help me bring a message to the person who answers the phone, just say that my Li Chengjiang's life is now over, and from now on, let him treat my children well. When Li Chengjiang said this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, maybe even this kind of outlaw bandit who wanders the rivers and lakes can't resist the father's love like a mountain after all.

"Good. I replied softly.

"My conditions are finished. Li Chengjiang's voice fell, lifted the shackles to the plank, and then sat cross-legged opposite me: "Tell me about your conditions." ”

"I don't have any conditions, I just want to ask you a few words. Without waiting for Li Chengjiang to speak again, I continued to ask: "When you went to the farmers' market to assassinate Lao Leng, who instructed you, was it Fang Guizi, Zhai Yinglin, Gao Jin, or other forces in Anyang?"

"Neither. Li Chengjiang, as a dying person, didn't seem to be prepared to carry things for others: "I remember the day when they caught me for the first time, you also went to the ghost town, since you can keep up with me, I think you have a certain understanding of my identity." ”

"I bumped into you that day because I saw you shopping at the supermarket and stumbled into you by mistake. When the words fell, I recalled what Zhang Zongliang once said to me: "However, I once had a friend say to me that you seem to be a pulsatilla person. ”

"Hehe, it seems that the friends around you are really sideways, there are all kinds of people, and even Lao Bai's affairs are clear. Li Chengjiang heard me mention Pulsatilla and nodded: "That's right, I am the person next to Pulsatilla." ”

'Brush!'

Li Chengjiang's voice fell, and two or three prisoners in the room raised their heads and looked at him again, and these prisoners were all felons who came in because of drugs, and they obviously also knew the name of Pulsatilla.

"Don't you want to tell me that the thing you framed me has something to do with Pulsatilla, right?" I thought about it for a while, and I always felt that this matter was impossible, because I didn't take drugs, and I didn't offend drug dealers, so what's the point of Pulsatilla pit me?

"It's not that there's a relationship, it's a direct relationship. Li Chengjiang didn't go around the bend with me, but took over the topic to the point: "We killed Lao Leng in the past, and it was Lao Bai who instructed us." ”

"Lao Bai, do you mean pulsatilla?" I was stunned.

"That's right!" Li Chengjiang nodded: "Lao Bai's subordinates used to have more than a dozen small shopkeepers who distributed drugs, and these little shopkeepers had countless veins, weaving a huge drug trafficking network, and people like us are only a very small part of these veins, not even the aorta, Dingtian is a capillary, I have joined Lao Bai's gang for almost five years, but I have only seen Lao Bai once." ”

I frowned: "Pulsatilla saw you because of the old cold?"

"No, Lao Leng's incident was told to us by Lao Bai's driver. Li Chengjiang lit a cigarette and continued: "Lao Bai, because of the particularity of the industry, is usually like a fox, cunning is not good, not to mention us people, even the big shopkeepers under him, it is difficult to see him, so his driver has basically become his spokesperson, and in the whole gang, except for Lao Bai, no one can support him, so his identity can definitely represent Lao Bai." ”

"At that time, I told you that it was this driver of Pulsatilla who asked you to frame me?" I was at a loss, and my mind was full of incredulity.

"No, he came to us at the time, and the original story was that the next morning, there would be a fight at the farmer's market, and we should go over and add a fire, and find a time to kill the vendor, or any other person who pulled the scaffolding, as long as we could make a murder without leaving a trace. After Li Chengjiang finished his words briefly, he added: "I think he didn't want us to do this, he didn't want to target you, but just to target your group, as for who was unlucky that day, it may really matter to him, he just wants you to fall into passivity, and you just happened to go there." ”

"Why do you say that?"

"The composition of our gang is more complicated, and our gang, in the eyes of Lao Bai, is not even a disciple or a grandson, since his driver can let us come forward to do this kind of thing, it means that this matter itself is not important, otherwise with Lao Bai's strength, if you want to get you bastards who show up every day, it is really too simple, but if you want to dig deeper, I can't guess the reason. ”

"Haven't you ever done anything like this before?"

"We are all contestants who show one and have to die, no matter how bold the official people are, it is impossible to have anything to do with us people, do you think we will provoke you bastards with official backgrounds for no reason?" Li Chengjiang asked rhetorically.

"That's really weird!" After listening to Li Chengjiang's words, I was also confused: "My friend told me that Pulsatilla is already the biggest drug lord in this place, and there must be no shortage of money in his hands, and this person has little contact with outsiders, and there is definitely no debt to people, so what is the reason why he can stab us so unsalty? Could this matter have nothing to do with Pulsatilla, but the personal will of his driver." ”

"There is such a possibility, but it is unlikely, and it is very small, Lao Bai's driver, has been in some border cities in China for so many years, responsible for the relationship between the line, and he is not a local, not even a native of this province, how can he have an intersection with you, and Lao Bai is extremely cautious, since he dares to hand over the power to the driver, he takes a fancy to this driver is a person who understands things, and will not use the resources of the gang because of personal relationships, so I think even if this driver has a personal vendetta with you, he will not use Lao Bai's people, since he found us, then this matter, most of it is still related to Lao Bai。 ”

"Fuck. After listening to Li Chengjiang's words, I muttered to myself, my heart was full of puzzlement, I racked my brains, and I couldn't think clearly, how could a drug dealer who shot 800 people back and forth not too much, inexplicably kill Lao Leng, thus pouring a basin of dirty water on us that has nothing to do with him, and at the same time I also made up my mind that after we go out, we have to take some time to ask Zhang Zongliang about this matter.

"Han Fei, that's all I know, I hope to promise me, you don't break your word. ”

"Don't worry, I'll handle your son's tuition when you leave the door of this cell. ”

"Thank you. After Li Chengjiang said this thank you, he grinned self-deprecatingly: "I cheated you, and I lost my life because of this incident, but I didn't expect that before I left, the last person I begged for turned out to be you." ”

"I'm helping you just so that you can answer my questions, and it's a quid pro quo, and you don't have to be grateful. ”

"I am not grateful to you, but I am grateful to you for my children. Li Chengjiang smiled again: "I don't have many opportunities to speak, listen to me, okay?"

"Say what?"

"My story. ”

"I'm not interested in your story!"

"I'm going to die, and I'm going to have to live in some people's memories. Li Chengjiang looked at me: "Just when you did me another favor." ”

I looked down and lit a cigarette.

"When I was nineteen years old, I worked in a factory, met a factory girl, in order to save eight cents a condom, wiped the gun, accidentally had a son, she gave birth to the child, less than two years, ran away with a workshop director in the factory, leaving me alone, alone with the child...... She can be ruthless to throw the child away, but I can't, so then I worked hard, and finally the sky was pitiful, so that I had a little money, and then opened a small processing factory, as the child grew older day by day, after going to kindergarten, I saw that other children have mothers, after going home, I always cried to ask for my mother, I married another for the sake of the child, my second wife, to me and the child really have nothing to say, but her younger brother is not angry, because of learning carpentry, and another apprentice fight, the other party into a vegetative person, my wife cries every day into tears, in order to get her brother, I sold the family property。 ”

"I don't see it, you're quite a gentleman. "I sat across from Li Chengjiang and had the last conversation of my life with this dying man.

"It's not about the masters, I help her brother, purely because she is good to my son, and her brother is also good to my son, so I save people so that my son is repaying his kindness...... After I fished out her brother, the family went bankrupt again, at that time, I really had nothing, there was only less than 1,000 yuan left in the whole body, and then we discussed, and went to her hometown in Gansu, but her hometown was close to the Gobi Desert, the conditions were too bitter, especially the drought was serious, there was only one well in the whole village, and in the drought year, let alone washing the face, even the water for cooking could not be supplied, and my wife was delicate, after going back, less than three years, she was seriously ill, before dying, she took my hand and asked me to help take care of her brother, I agreed, because he let my son have a mother in memory…… After she left, I gritted my teeth and left the child in Gansu, and went out alone, I had a lot of fate in my life, but fortunately I left a trace of blood and met a good woman. As Li Chengjiang spoke, he snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand with his fingers, and then used the blood of cigarette ash to stand on his fingertips, and wrote a phone number on the cigarette paper from memory: "From the first time I participated in the drug trafficking transaction, I knew that there was no turning back, but my death made my son suffer, with my unobtrusive brother-in-law, they may not be able to leave the desolate Gobi Desert in this life, I owe the debt to this society, let my son pay it slowly." ”
