Chapter 18: Confession
"Or become the son-in-law of the Jade Casting Society." Fan Junyi's gaze shifted from He Chenxue to the face of the torture technique, "In this case, the other people of the Jade Casting Society, after knowing about this matter, will not be able to say anything, and besides, among the four major first workers, three people will support you, three to one, and it is useless for the remaining person to oppose it." ”
There is no doubt that the remaining person referred to by Fan Junyi is Ding Wanan.
At this time, a thought popped up in the mind of the torture technique-who was the person in He Chenxue's parents' room back then? This person is actually in the peerless building? What does that mean?
The torturer knew that he couldn't ask in front of Fan Junyi now, because Fan Junyi was still one of the suspects who stole the Eye of Rulai.
Fan Jun didn't answer when he saw the torture, but just smiled and said, "There is a third choice." ”
The torturer immediately asked, "What?" ”
"Be my godson." Fan Junyi looked at the torture technique and said, "I also want to choose a person who can inherit my mantle, since my son left, I have been looking for a suitable candidate, among the people I know, only you have this qualification, this is also the last choice, and there is no fourth choice." ”
Of course, it is impossible for the torturer to participate in the Jade Casting Society, he doesn't want to be associated with any organization, because he doesn't want to be constrained, and the essence of the chaser is to give you the greatest freedom within the limited rules. Of course, it is impossible for him to marry He Chenxue, although he has a good feeling for He Chenxue, but this way is equivalent to exchange, what is the point of exchanging marriages?
At the moment, the only way to find out the peerless building is to worship Fan Junyi as a godfather, so that even if he is restrained, he is only bound to the father-son relationship of the godfather and godson, which doesn't matter to the criminal arts, after all, he respected Fan Junyi very much in his early years.
"Okay." Torture suddenly said, "I choose to be your godson." ”
Fan Jun laughed: "You still seem to be very aggrieved?" But I like you this, call me godfather, the ceremony will be waived, don't kneel. ”
Torture still knelt down: "Godfather! ”
When the torture technique kowtowed and raised his head again, He Chenxue peeked at him in disappointment, and immediately turned his gaze in other directions the moment he raised his head. And when the torture technique looked up, he saw a bowl appear in front of him, and Fan Jun, who was holding the bowl, also had a pair of chopsticks in his hand, whether it was a bowl or chopsticks, they were all pure gold!
This is the rule of worshipping godfather, according to the rules of the older generation, before worshipping godfather, you need to pay tribute to the birthday, and then choose a good day and auspicious day, you must bow at a specific moment, not a minute or a second, but also burn a whip, others want to participate, but also have to send red eggs, similar to the birth of a new son of the godfather's family.
After bowing to the godfather, the godfather should give a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, which means that if there is a person in the family, he should add an extra pair of chopsticks. Usually people use ordinary new bowls and new chopsticks, and those with slightly better conditions are looking for craftsmen to create cast iron bowls and chopsticks, which means the same as the meaning of iron rice bowls. Large families make gold and silver bowls and chopsticks, but they are basically a silver bowl, a pair of gold chopsticks, and only those who are quite rich will give a pair of pure gold bowls and chopsticks.
The torture technique took the dishes and chopsticks given by Fan Junyi with both hands, and kowtowed again to thank him.
Fan Junyi said calmly: "This pair of bowls and chopsticks, not antiquities, I found someone to build, pure gold, there is no inscription or gold powder casting on it, because I don't want to tie you up because of this, although you are my godson Fan Junyi from today, but we only have father-son relationship, and nothing else is mixed with it, do you know what I mean?" ”
Xingshu nodded, what Fan Junyi meant was that he didn't want it to be really mixed with the word "utilization".
Xingshu got up, walked to his cupboard, took out a pair of cloth shoes from it, knelt in front of Fan Junyi, and presented them with both hands.
This is also one of the rules of bowing, the godfather gave a gift, and the godson and goddaughter should send back one or more pairs of shoes, but the ritual has been simplified to the present, basically giving a pair, which means that the godfather has another son under his feet.
Fan Jun picked up the pair of cloth shoes and said: "This is the craft of the Li family in Beijing, the Li family used to be born in the court boots, after liberation, they basically did not do this kind of business, although they kept the craft, but to get a pair of shoes from his family, it is even more difficult, good, good gifts, you get up." ”
After the torture was up, I just wanted to get into the main topic, but I didn't expect Fan Junyi to say again: "Torture, there is something I have to tell you, it is related to the things you chose before, let's put it this way, many years ago, my Fan family and the He family were originally going to become in-laws, but because my son Fan Meng was gone, this family matter was put down, even so, I still thought about this wish, so, I hope you and Chenxue get along well." ”
Torture nodded, Fan Jun came together, and picked up his hat: "Torture, that's all I can do, you have to pay attention to safety, I will hand over Chenxue to you, which is also entrusted by Chenxue's parents." ”
As he spoke, Fan Junyi opened the door and left, and then all that could be heard in the empty antique city was Fan Junyi's footsteps.
Xingshu turned his head to look at He Chenxue, and he couldn't speak for a long time, because Fan Junyi's last two words seemed to tell him that whether he joined the Jade Casting Club or became his godson, he couldn't escape the fate of marrying He Chenxue in the end.
"Why?" Xingshu frowned and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not saying, I ......" Xingshu didn't know how to explain it, and thought for a long time before he said, "It's not that I'm disgusted with marrying you, or that I hate you, but I think this kind of thing is carried out in this way, it's very child's play, it's very feudal, and it's not out of your will." ”
He Chenxue was silent, still bowing her head.
The torturer said, "Why are you so entangled in this matter? ”
"I'm a** him." He Chenxue finally spoke.
Xingshu nodded, becoming a little unnatural: "Fan Meng, right?" ”
"Yes." He Chenxue nodded, "Growing up together, going to school together, almost everything is together, we know each other, and we also know each other deeply, that is a different kind of relationship from other childhood sweethearts, different, in fact, I knew about you a long time ago, and I also learned from Uncle Fan's mouth, but I didn't think so, but what I never expected was that it was so coincidental, because of the matter of the treasure of the Khanate, we were involved." ”
As she spoke, He Chenxue took out her wallet, opened it, took out a photo from it, and handed it to the torture technique: "This was taken by me and Fan Meng many years ago. ”
The torture technique was actually very curious about Fan Meng, and after taking a look at it, he was shocked, because Fan Meng and his appearance were very similar, although it could not be said that they were exactly the same, but the feeling between the face shape and eyebrows was very similar, and at first glance it looked like a person, and it took a few more glances to know that it was two people.
Xingshu took the photo and said: "It turns out that this is what you said before, if anyone asks, let me claim to be Fan Meng." ”
"Fan Meng's death, except for the four major chiefs, no one else in the Jade Casting Society knows about it, thinking that he is still in the Xiangxi area." He Chenxue took back the photo and looked down, "I was so cold to you at the beginning, the main reason is this, when you first came to me, I was a little surprised, and even thought that maybe it was fate, because before that, Uncle Fan said many times that there was a chance to introduce you to me." ”
Xingshu nodded: "So that's the case, but why did Fan Meng go to Xiangxi in the first place?" ”
"Because ......" When He Chenxue just said this, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Yan Gang leading Hu Sanqian in, and He Chenxue immediately stopped talking.
Yan Gang and Hu Sanqian also realized that their sudden appearance seemed to destroy something, and they were very embarrassed, so Xingshu immediately got up and walked towards Hu Sanqian, the last person who opened the coffin, and hugged him with open arms and said, "Sanqian, thank you for coming!" ”
Hu Sanqian, who was dressed in a denim suit, also hugged the torture technique tightly: "Brother Shu, I should thank you, if I don't find something to do, I'm afraid I'll go crazy." ”
"Then I won't talk nonsense, here's the thing......" Xingshu took Hu Sanqian to the counter and told Yan Gang about the matter together, Xingshu said, Yan Gang added from time to time, when they finished talking about these things, it was already late at night, and He Chenxue was also sleepy and fell asleep leaning on a chair.
Xingshu turned around and took his coat and covered He Chenxue's body, Hu Sanqian asked in a low voice at this time, "This is my sister-in-law?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." The torture technique was immediately said.
Yan Gang on one side immediately interjected: "Sooner or later." ”
Hu Sanqian continued to study the map: "When are you going to do it?" ”
"Don't do anything, it sounds like we're going to rob a bank." After returning to stand still, "Today is not good, you need to rest, I plan to go tomorrow night or the night after tomorrow, after all, we still need time to survey the route." ”
"I've seen the map, and I don't need to survey the route, there is only one road to take." Hu Sanqian pointed to a subway entrance on the map and said: "Go down from here, go along the subway tunnel, and then find the old tunnel left over from the previous 7381 project, and go to the northeast from the tunnel, you can easily find the old tunnel left by Japan that Geng Lao said, and now we urgently need to solve three ......problems."
Hu Sanqian said and looked up at Xingshu and Yan Gang: "First, we can only move at night, after the subway stops operating, that is, after 10 o'clock in the evening, but how to get in and not be detected is a little difficult; Second, the place where the subway tunnel is connected to the former 7381 project tunnel, I don't think it will be all sealed, there should be a door, and how to open this door is also a problem; Third, after finding the old tunnel of the Japanese army, according to Geng Lao, it is a warehouse, what if the warehouse is full of things? ”
Xingshu looked at the map and said: "Actually, the problem you said is not a problem, it can be solved, I think the biggest problem is the secret door on the cave wall, and the secret passages that are very likely to be encountered after entering, this is why I came to you, you are an expert in this area." ”
After the word "expert" came out of the mouth of the torture technique, Hu Sanqian's expression was a little gloomy, and he said lightly: "I can only be regarded as half, and my father is an expert." ”
"Three thousand!" Xingshu looked at Hu Sanqian, "In my eyes, you are an expert, this kind of place, no one can be more familiar than you, I and Hades are not good at it, you know how to deal with it." After speaking, Xingshu glanced at Yan Gang again, asking him to say something and give Hu Sanqian a little confidence.
The criminal technique is very clear, since Hu Sanqian and his father were calculated, he has been in a downturn, especially after his father passed away, his emotions have become even more unstable. However, no matter how sluggish and modest he was, the adventures that their father and son had gone through that could be called miracles were true.
"Three thousand, we all have our own strengths, we are also different people, and there may be contradictions, but in the same way, it is precisely because of this that we can complement each other, we are not handing over the burden to you alone." After Yan Gang finished speaking to Hu Sanqian, he looked at the torture technique again, "By the way, have you discussed the issue of remuneration with Sanqian?" ”
When Hu Sanqian heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "I don't want money!" I'm not here for the money! ”
Xingshu shook his head and said: "This is the rule, I am the employer, I hire you, I have to give money, if the rules are broken, I can't do anything in the future, because where we go this time, no one knows what is there, but no matter what there is, it doesn't belong to us, we can't take it, so there is no question of finding some kind of treasure and distributing it equally." ”
"Okay, I see!" Hu Sanqian nodded, "How much should it be, Brother Shu, you can do it." ”
Xingshu nodded with a smile, and glanced at He Chenxue, who was still asleep, he knew that He Chenxue would definitely not leave, and would follow him 100%. At this time, Yan Gang said that he was hungry and wanted to buy something to eat, and then left, Hu Sanqian also claimed that he wanted to smoke a cigarette, afraid that the smell of smoke would choke He Chenxue, so he closed the door with the torture technique and left, and walked outside the antique city.
The two of them smoked there silently, and the torture mind kept thinking about the four-person case, and when he was thinking about it, Hu Sanqian suddenly said: "You said that in the four-person case, those four people came out of a special school, I think it's incredible." ”
"How?" The torture technique looked at Hu Sanqian.
Hu Sanqian said: "Do you remember that I picked up a defective young man in the talent market? ”
"Yes, remember, it was the person at the door of your shop that you finally taught him to 'welcome'. ”
Hu Sanqian took a deep breath of smoke and said: "Although I don't know them very well, I think that whether it is born or acquired, they have all been hurt." Born is caused by genetics or other external factors, and acquired, it is traumatized or other trauma. ”
The torture technique looked at Hu Sanqian: "It seems that you have also studied it." ”
Hu Sanqian sighed and said: "Actually, I took the child to the doctor, I want to cure him, it's pitiful, when I picked him up, he didn't know how to and pee, after I stayed there for more than half a month, I took him to take a bath, guess what, what did he call me?" He called me mom, and I don't know why, but at that moment, I had a feeling I couldn't put into words. ”
"Sad, right?" Torture asked.
"Well, it's sad." Hu Sanqian responded, "I don't understand, why did his biological parents do that?" Yes, I understand, the child becomes like this, and they don't want to, but after all, it's their own child, why are they willing to let go? Let him fend for himself? Even if the government has a place to adopt, it is not as good as his biological parents in any case. ”
Torture nodded: "Then what is your conclusion?" ”
Hu Sanqian said: "My conclusion is that these four people don't have the ability to set up this kind of situation at all, and the brains of the four of them together are not as good as a person with normal thinking, how can they do such a thing?" Even if they have been hurt, stimulated, and tried to retaliate against someone, in their case, the way they take it will be very direct, and they will not go around in such a big circle, this matter is not so simple. ”
Torture nodded: "Yes, I think so too, now it seems that a real murderer is about to surface." ”
Hu Sanqian looked at the torture, the torture didn't go on, the two finished smoking, returned to the pawnshop, Yan Gang brought back to eat and drink, after the four of them finished eating, the torture found a nearby express hotel to arrange for everyone to stay, the next day after Bai Zhongzheng came, everyone discussed the specific details, who knew that the next morning, Fu Mingwei came to the phone very early, as soon as the torture was picked up, he heard Fu Mingwei say at the other end: "Qi Baye confessed." ”
"What?" The torture technique who was still brushing his teeth was stunned for a moment, and quickly spit out the foam in his mouth, "Wait for me for a while." ”
Xingshu quickly rinsed his mouth, wiped his face, took the phone and asked, "What's the matter?" What did he confess? ”
Fu Mingwei said: "Come on, come to my office, I'll wait for you in the office." ”
As he spoke, Fu Mingwei hung up the phone, explained the criminal technique to the others, and immediately drove to the criminal police team.
When he arrived at Fu Mingwei's office, he saw Fu Mingwei sitting behind a desk full of documents, while others were sitting by the window in a shirt, smoking constantly, and the empty canned food box and instant noodle bowl in front of him were stuffed with cigarette butts.
Torture stepped forward and said, "Don't smoke it, if you smoke it like this, you will die." ”
Fu Mingwei nodded, took out a photocopied piece of information from the side, and handed it to the torture technique: "The situation of the four corpses found in the ruins of the peerless building is here, corresponding to the confession of Qi Baye, the identities of those three bodies are the same as we speculated before, they do belong to Wang Litian, Liu Da, Mu Cong, and the fourth person, that is, the strong man, is Zhang Haibo." ”
The torture technique took it and looked at it: "In other words, Zhang Haibo, who Pan Feng is pretending to be, is indeed a person, and it is the fourth corpse in the ruins?" ”
Fu Mingwei nodded: "Yes, and began to Qi Baye and Pan Feng to set up a set for Nurse Zhang, pretending to be the person who sold the painting to Nurse Zhang from the countryman, according to Qi Baye's confession, we also caught it overnight, his name is Sun Hu, he used to be an electrician in the antique city, we tried it overnight, and he also confessed, he pretended to be a countryman to sell the painting to Nurse Zhang, and it was indeed ordered by Qi Baye." ”
The torture technique put down the information, knowing that it was useless to look at it: "Why did Qi Baye confess that he was the real murderer?" ”
"Here's the thing." Fu Mingwei returned to the desk, and was about to take out a cigarette to light it, but was held down by the torture technique, Fu Mingwei nodded, took a sip of coffee, rubbed his eyes and said, "5 years ago, almost 5 years ago, that is, on the eve of the Ji Dewu incident, Pan Feng, who was not easy to find a job, came to work in his shop, and at first he wanted to take advantage of Pan Feng, and felt that such a defective person could give him half less money a month, who knows, he later found that Pan Feng has something different from ordinary people, that is, he likes painting very much, and he learns the knowledge of painting very quickly, In just one month, he is more proficient than those who have been in the industry for several years. ”
Speaking of this, Fu Mingwei sighed and said: "Perhaps, this is what everyone often says, God closes a door for you, and he will definitely open a window for you." ”
