Chapter 43: I'll Confess
No one spoke in the room, only the sound of heavy breathing, which came from He Erlai on the iron chair.
Li Xiaohe and Xu Jianjun did not ask, but looked through the iron fence and cast their eyes on He Erlai, observing the other party's changing expressions from time to time.
The sweat on He Erlai's face became more and more, and it was no longer bead-shaped, but crossed and gathered together to form a fine network or curtain. The chin has become a dripping place, and the speed of sweat dripping far exceeds the flow rate of ordinary infusion tubes.
Five minutes
Ten minutes,
After about twenty minutes, He Erlai broke the silence: "Can you let me smoke a cigarette?" ”
Xu Jianjun did not answer, but turned to the narrow-faced policeman next to him and nodded.
The narrow-faced policeman understood, stood up, opened the small iron gate on the side of the fence, and reached He Erlai's side. He took the cigarette case out of his bag, put a cigarette in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, and took two puffs. Then he took the cigarette he lit and handed it to the other party's mouth.
He Erlai immediately leaned his head forward, put on a cigarette, and took a few big puffs.
"Ahem", because he smoked too hard, He Erlai coughed for a while, but he still held it tightly, for fear that the cigarette would fall.
After coughing, He Erlai raised his head, closed his eyes, and sucked in beautifully.
Li Xiaohe noticed that tears rolled out of He Erlai's eyes, I don't know if he was choking on a cigarette just now, or if he was too agitated, maybe he had both.
Lines of blue smoke rose in a zigzag way, and strings of blue-gray smoke rings burst out of the nostrils and hovered around the head. He Erlai closed his eyes, his face was full of intoxication, and he also had a nostalgic look.
It was only until the white cigarette rolled into ashes, and only when the fireworks burned to the filter mouth, He Erlai "poofed", spit the cigarette butt to the ground, and cast a reluctant gaze at the cigarette butt on the ground.
Raising his foot to extinguish the burnt cigarette butt, the narrow-faced policeman passed through the small iron door and returned to the other side. He had been looking at the suspect just now, for fear that in the process of smoking, the other party would have some extreme actions.
Although he had finished smoking a cigarette, He Erlai did not reply immediately, but closed his eyes, obviously still thinking about it. I don't know if I'm thinking about whether to say it, or if I'm thinking about what to say, or if I'm thinking about how to say it.
Noticing He Erlai's style, Li Xiaohe couldn't help frowning slightly, looked to the side, and saw Xu Jianjun shaking his head lightly, so he didn't say anything, but waited quietly.
After spending more than ten minutes, He Erlai finally spoke: "How do you know Niu Erhai?" ”
"I know that you not only cheat the villagers out of money by planting potatoes, but also know your so-called 'planting cordyceps' to cheat money, and you also know that Niu Erhai is Ma Yishan, isn't this enough?" Li Xiaohe said in a deep voice, "Don't leave anything to chance. ”
He Erlai sighed: "Okay, I'll explain." Ge Erhai, that is, Ma Yishan's deception of the villagers' money, I participated in it, and I was his accomplice. We ...... both."
With He Erlai's narration, some matters were strung together.
……
It turned out that Ma Yishan was a pseudonym, and his real name was Ge Erhai. It's just that he has long gotten a "Ma Yishan" ID card and has been using it, but few people know the name "Ge Erhai". He Erlai's acquaintance with Ma Yishan is also very dramatic, in He Erlai's words, it is called "fate".
Three years ago, He Erlai was still wandering outside, often doing some tricks and abductions. Although he often succeeds, the amount is not very large, and the expenses are also extravagant.
One day, He Erlai went to the Maozhong City People's Hospital, "mobilized" an old lady, and took her out to find "experts". Just when the old man had already walked far with him, had arrived in front of the "expert", and was about to take out fifty yuan of "thank you fee", there was a sudden shout from behind, "He Erlai, you can't run."
Hearing this shout, He Erlai was shocked, and immediately gave up the "thank you fee" that was about to arrive, and ran away.
"Stop, where are you going?" The sound behind was tight, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and there seemed to be the sound of car horns.
Secretly said "not good", He Erlai looked left and right, rushed straight forward for dozens of meters, and turned right into an alley. The alley is not wide, only about two meters, and it is not straight, but this is just right, and the car can't get in. I listened to it while running, and sure enough, there was no sound of cars, but just the sound of "dong dong" running.
Run, how fast He Erlai ran, and rushed forward desperately. Not only did he want to get rid of his tail as soon as possible, but he was also worried that it would be a dead end, or that there would be someone waiting on the other side.
Running and running, the alley was wider, and He Erlai ran more smoothly. But the footsteps of "dong dong" are like shadows, and they can't be shaken off. Secretly shouting the word "afterburner", He Erlai rushed forward. But when he is fast, his footsteps are fast, and when he is slow, the footsteps slow down.
Seeing that the alley in front of him was in the distance, He Erlai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: These guys are just chasing me, why don't they shout? With doubts, He Erlai looked back while running, and there was no one behind him at all. But why is this footstep still there? He Erlai was even more puzzled.
Suddenly, He Erlai slapped his head, scolded "bastard", and stopped. He understood, no one chased him in just now, the sound of "dong dong" was his own, and he was too nervous.
As soon as his heart relaxed, He Erlai immediately raised his vigilance. You have to get out of here quickly, what if someone really catches up, what if someone is blocking on the other side?
After making up his mind, He Erlai strengthened his feet again and ran forward. He has to avoid being chased all year round, but he has developed good foot strength.
The alleyway is getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, a man rushed into the alley, ran head-on, and knocked He Erlai to a stumbling ground.
"You and ......" As soon as he stood up and turned around and scolded two words, He Erlai noticed that the guy had already run to the corner, and only saw a back similar to himself. Not only is the size and hairstyle similar, but the color of the clothes seems to be the same.
Regardless of him, He Erlai turned his head and continued to run towards the alley.
"This is the alley."
"See clearly?"
"That's right."
A conversation came from the alleyway.
Stopping his steps and identifying it slightly, He Erlai was shocked, listening to the voice of the guys just now, it must be himself. Thinking of this, He Erlai hurriedly turned around and ran towards the way he came.
As soon as he ran far, he heard a shout from behind: "Where are you?" Where to run? ”
It's broken. Now I'm so tired and wheezing, and I don't have any energy in my legs, so I can't run so many people. What to do? What to do? He Erlai looked around as he ran. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, so he gritted his teeth and strengthened his strength, rushed out more than ten meters, "slipped away", and turned into the fork on the right.
"Turn, that guy turned." The shouts were heard.
Hearing that the voice was very close, He Erlai had only one thought: run. So he lowered his head and lunged.
The footsteps behind are becoming clearer and clearer, and it is clearly getting closer.
Suddenly, He Erlai felt a hint of something strange and raised his head. It doesn't matter if I look up, I was directly frightened, this is a dead end, and at the end of the alley is a family.
The dead end has to be fought, and you can't stand still. Thinking like this, He Erlai didn't pay attention to the shouting "You can't run" from behind, but kept rushing over.
The big iron gate at the end of the alley was closed, but the small iron gate above was open. secretly said, "God help me", He Erlai began to prepare for the sprint. But God fulfilled people's wishes, and just when He Erlai was about to get into the small iron gate, he suddenly felt a pain in his leg and was kicked by the people behind him. How can you stand? He Erlai "plopped" and fell to the ground.
"Damn, where are you going this time?"
"Good boy, tired Lao Tzu to death."
With a few shouts and scolding, He Erlai only felt a pain in his back and waist, and two or three feet had already stepped on it.
"Damn, you're running. Ge Erhai, isn't it quite capable? A shout rang out again.
Ge Erhai? What meme? With doubts, He Erlai tried his best to tilt his head back, only to see that there were several legs behind him, which should be more than four or five people.
"That's not right."
"It's not Ge Erhai."
A few exclamations rang out.
At this time, He Erlai also saw the faces of two of them, and he didn't know them at all, so he asked: "What are you doing, why are you chasing me, why are you kicking me down?" ”
After a pause, one of the bearded men said, "Let's chase Ge Erhai, what are you running, why are you two wearing the same clothes?" ”
It has been determined that these guys are chasing the wrong person, and He Erlai suddenly raised his voice: "Lao Tzu can run if he wants, wear whatever he wants, which royal law has he committed?" ”
"You...... It's not ......" and "beard" are momentarily shutting down.
"What the are you ......" scolded halfway, He Erlai roared, "What are you still stepping on Lao Tzu for?" Let Lao Tzu get up. ”
"Right...... I'm sorry. Sorry voices rang out one after another, and several feet were quickly removed from He Erlai's body.
"I'm ......" As he spoke, He Erlai supported the ground with both hands, his upper body slowly straightened up, and suddenly "ouch" sounded and fell to the ground.
"Bearded" squatted down and asked, "Dude, are you alright?" ”
"Ouch, it hurts to death, my back hurts to death, I must have been stepped on by you." While groaning, He Erlai turned his head back.
This time, no one stepped on the instep, and He Erlai finally saw everyone around him clearly, a total of five, four men and one woman. Except for the beard, the three men were all relatively thin and small, and their age was estimated to be about twenty. The woman looked like she was in her thirties.
"Get up and take a walk and see if there's anything going on." "Bearded" went to hold He Erlai's arm.
"On the side, Lao Tzu can't get up at all." He Erlai shook his arm.
"My mouth stinks." As the woman spoke, she suddenly kicked the side of He Erlai's left little foot.
didn't prevent this hand at all, He Erlai said "ouch", supported the ground with both hands, and stood up with a "Teng".
"Still want to touch porcelain?" The woman snorted, took out two hundred-yuan bills, and threw them over disdainfully, "Let's chase you, take the flowers." With that, he turned and walked away.
"Damn, touch porcelain." "Bearded" scolded, and walked with the three young men.
"Hey, people are poor and short-sighted." He Erlai sighed, bent down, and picked up the two banknotes.
