The novella of "Life and Death".
"Did you just say that you are looking for someone for five million? We are professional and industry-leading. The fat man said with a smile narrowing his eyes.
"That means you can find someone alive or dead, right?" said the old man, coughing.
"Yes, it wouldn't be fun if we couldn't find other companies like that. Five million for someone, what are you going to ask us to help you find water? We like challenging things the most, and I can't wait. The fat man rubbed his hands together.
"Yes, five million. It's not difficult to find my grandson, right?" the old man said lightly.
The fat man was still in high spirits before, and he wilted all of a sudden.
The thin man patted me on the shoulder and whispered, "Explain to the old man, just find this and enter it, it doesn't cost so much." ”
I smiled helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, it doesn't have to be so expensive for us to find missing children here." Three hundred and sixty-five yuan is fine, and I will get you a dish for the detailed process. You don't have to rush, it's easy to understand. ”
The old man stretched out his hand and said, "Wait, you guys listen to what I'm going to say." ”
At this time, I had already taken out the service menu on the side and was going to hand it to the old man.
The thin man reached out and stopped me.
The thin man said lightly: "We still have some time, you can talk slowly." ”
The old man coughed and said to the two bodyguards beside him, "I should be safe here, you retreat to the door and wait for me." When I call you, you will come in again, and you are not allowed to break in at any other time, understand?"
The two bodyguards nodded their heads and walked towards the door, and the one behind closed the door.
The old man pondered for a moment, sighed and said, "I was in the red wine business in the early years, and the business was not good at the beginning. After more than ten years, word of mouth and popularity have finally come up. It's okay now, and it's been in the top ten in the industry over the years. Continental wine, I don't know if you've heard of it?"
The fat man nodded his head and said, "It turns out that you founded it, this is amazing." This brand is not well-known in China, but it is very well exported to the country. Relatives at home who are overseas have told me about this. I also brought a few bottles when I came back for the Chinese New Year, and I think it's good for someone who doesn't know how to drink. ”
"Seeing the smile," I continued. Although the business was going well, my wife died early. Half a year ago, their son and daughter-in-law also left, and that day they were unfortunately hit head-on by a speeding truck. I was rescued on the spot and left, so I was left with only one grandson. The old man coughed as he spoke, and his voice became choked.
"The old man mourns, do you want to say that your grandson is also lost? So you want us to help you find it? How old is my grandson, and when did you lose it?" said the fat man.
"My grandson is about your age. The old man said.
"This... It's going to be hard to find if you've lost it for so long, so be prepared. I said.
"No, my grandson didn't lose it. The old man said.
"Wait, your grandson didn't lose what grandson you came to find? and five million?" said the fat man with some anger.
I grabbed the fat man and said in his ear: "The old man is inevitably verbose when he gets older, you take care of it." After listening to the entry procedure, send it away, we can't afford to mess with the rich master. ”
The fat man snorted coldly and turned his head, and busied himself with his own business.
The old man sighed and said, "Because of my son's death, I have taken special care of my grandson. I promised him almost everything, so I developed a lot of bad habits. Half a month ago, he was arrested by the police. ”
The fat man raised his head when he heard this, and it seemed that things were turning around. Perhaps with a bit of a case, the fat man smiled and said, "Do you want to say that the police made a mistake? Let's find evidence to defend your grandson?"
"No, my grandson did kill someone and was arrested. This evidence is conclusive, because it is too serious, and the judge sentenced him to death. The old man said.
"Kill, won't you?" I muttered.
"My grandson rushed into the other person's house and killed them with a knife that had been prepared a long time ago. Then he cut and injured the whole family, ran out and hid for a day before being arrested. The old man said, took out a towel from his pocket and wiped his eyes, and I could see tears slipping from the corners of his eyes.
"Is this still a premeditated killing and multiple injuries? What is the deep hatred between your grandson and others? The revenge of killing your father is nothing more than that, right?" I said and covered my mouth, after all, this is someone's grandson. It seemed a bit excessive to say this in front of people, but the old man didn't seem angry.
"No, no, no, my grandson is a good man. Because this family is the truck driver who hit his parents half a year ago, this driver is trying to make money. Strong tea during the day and Red Bull working at night to support his family, and finally fatigue driving was not controlled. I regretted it afterwards, but I never dared to tell my grandson about it. I don't know how he found out, but it seems that he has been checking for a long time. It wasn't until he made a move and was arrested that I found out about it. The old man lowered his head and covered his face with a handkerchief.
Sobbs echoed through the room, and coughing hurried.
"The elderly's health matters. I said helplessly.
"Isn't this the end of the matter? What is the matter with finding the grandson? Is it a prison escape?" said the fat man, frowning.
"My grandson was sentenced to death, and the execution was three days later. These five million are used to find his body, didn't you say? Life and death? I want you to help me find a dead man. The old man wiped his tears with his handkerchief again and said.
"Wait, I don't quite understand this. Isn't your grandson your grandson? After hearing that you are his only family member, after the execution of the death penalty that no one fights for and no one grabs. Aren't you able to claim the corpse?" said the thin man in thought.
"Yes, that's right, but I asked the police. They said that all I could claim was my grandson's ashes, and that I couldn't take the whole body. The old man did not stop sobbing and said in a suppressed voice.
"Wouldn't that be nice?" I said.
"But I want my grandson to have a whole corpse, and my idea is very simple. I just want to bury the whole thing in our ancestral grave, and my son has been hit by a car and his flesh is blurred and can only be cremated. I really want to bury this grandson so that I can be buried in the cemetery next door to him when I die of old age. Even if you die together and have a companion, I hope you will be fulfilled. The old man said, his voice choked up.
"How do we want this to be accomplished? Besides, isn't the death penalty a shot?
"No, no, no, I know it's a drug decision. Euthanasia, there will be no wounds. The old man hurriedly explained.
"Okay, so what do you want us to do?" said the thin man.
"I give you all the information I know, and you go to the place where my grandson was executed and the crematorium where he will return. If you can find five million within three days, it will be yours, and I will deal with the rest of the matter. The old man said.
"Wait, can you tell us what you're going to do? After all, we can't do anything illegal, we need to know what you're going to do in the future. If this is illegal, aren't we accomplices?" said the thin man again.
The old man coughed and said, "I bought a body similar to my grandson from the hospital, and it is now stored in the hospital's morgue for freezing. The police are stricter and can't bribe, but after the death penalty, there is a period of time before cremation in the crematorium. When the time comes, I will find a way to change the tanuki for the prince, so you don't need to worry. ”
"We probably know about it, but the three of us need to discuss it. Can you give us a few minutes? We'll get back to you right away. The thin man said.
The old man made a gesture of please and said, "I understand all this, and this matter is not simple. So if you agree, 100,000 will be used as a deposit immediately. Whether the thing succeeds or not is yours, if it succeeds, I will pay the remaining 4.9 million. If it doesn't end here, I won't dwell on it, I vouch in name. ”
"Wait, you're thinking too much, we're not raising the price. It's really not about money, we really need to talk about it. The thin man said.
"Okay. The old man turned his head and looked out the window at the sky.
The three of us gathered in a group and started discussing.
"Poor old man, do you help with this?" said the fat man.
"Actually, things are quite easy to do, and the key tanuki to change the prince doesn't need us to participate. I said.
"But the old man's tanuki is illegal to change the prince, and we are also indirectly involved. The thin man said.
"The old man's sons are all dead, and the only grandson is not right to kill. But it's punished, and it's not as serious as you say, is it?" I said.
"Let's vote by a show of hands? It's easy to make a decision and raise your hand in agreement to help. The fat man said, raising his little hand to his chest.
I also raised my hand and said, "Look at the face, look at the money." You can do it, can't you?"
The thin man shook his head and said, "I can't help you, take it." It's also the most interesting case we've ever founded, and there's money to be made. ”
The fat man turned to the old man with a smile and said, "We took this case." ”
The old man laughed with relief and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
Two bodyguards walked in at the door.
The old man said to the bodyguard, "Did you bring the money?
The bodyguard nodded, pressed his head, pressed the walkie-talkie on his chest, and whispered something.
At this time, another bodyguard came in at the door and handed over a box.
Looking at the bodyguards who came in again, I realized that this old man had more than two bodyguards.
The bodyguard put the box on the table, and the old man slowly opened the box and said, "The password of the lockbox is three zeros, and it contains 100,000 and my grandson's information. And my contact number was in there, and my grandson was executed three days later. That is, you have three full days to search, and I will not bother. ”
Filled with ten stacks of RMB, the old man closed the lockbox again.
All three of us nodded, then watched as the old man got up and left our company.
I looked down the window, and there were seven black bridge cars parked downstairs.
And the number of bodyguards was even more frightening, and the old man entered a car in the middle.
Then they drove away one after another.
I retracted my head and sighed, "What a rich man." ”
The fat man said nervously: "Is it difficult to find a crematorium that prisoners who are about to be executed will go to in three days?"
"Time is long and short. Don't be stunned, do you want me to help you find out the task you want to take?" said the thin man dissatisfied.
I immediately rushed to the safe and opened it again.
There are ten stacks of renminbi, and under the renminbi is a yellow document bag.
