"Brother Qian, someone has been caught. ”

Chen Qian nodded, his feet still on the table.

The younger brother stood aside and proposed in horror: "Do you want to ...... Go check it out?"

He half-tilted his head and exhaled a smoke ring, and in the smoke, his eyebrows and eyes could not be seen.

After a long time, he finally smiled slowly: "Okay, let's take a look." ”

Turning from the front hall into the back yard, I came to a dilapidated bungalow, in front of which was a heavy iron door, and two people stood next to the iron door. The younger brother signaled, and one of them stepped forward and unlocked the door with the key.

There was a screeching sound from the iron door, and the two men each pushed the door open with force.

Chen Qian walked forward, and the younger brother was just about to follow, but he stopped him: "All of them are waiting outside." ”

Chen Qian walked in alone.

It was dirty and messy, with garbage piled up in the corners and a rotting stench. The paint on the walls has peeled off, revealing large red bricks inside. Chen Qian walked to the door and pushed it gently.

There was a strong smell of blood, like rust, but it was a thousand times richer than rust, which was disgusting. And Chen Qian didn't frown, and walked in indifferently.

There was no light in the house, and by the moonlight, I could barely see a person tied to the iron chair in the house.

The man hung his head weakly, not knowing whether he had fainted or died.

Chen Qian took a step back and closed the door.

The house was dark again.

In the silence, I only heard him chuckle and spit out three words coldly.

"Ruan Zhitong. ”

The man shook and looked up slightly, and in her blurred vision, she saw a pair of scarlet eyes.

A man moved in across the door.

At first, Chen Qian didn't care.

He has lived here for nearly two years, and the old-fashioned residential buildings near the subway station are generally occupied by the elderly, and occasionally there are some tenants. But he left late and returned early, and he didn't start with others

Until he found the man observing him in the dark.

He usually comes back at three or four o'clock in the morning, at this point in time, the residents of the building have already fallen asleep, there is no sound, there is no light, and in the silent night, any little noise is amplified dozens of times.

And for special reasons, he has a keen sense and quick reactions.

Whenever he stood in front of his house and took the keys from his pocket, he could feel the sound of footsteps coming from the door, very soft, like tiptoeing, moving slowly. The sound moved to the door, then faded away.

It wasn't until the fifth time that he finally confirmed his judgment.

This time, instead of opening the door and entering the house when the footsteps disappeared in the doorway, he suddenly turned his head to look at the cat's eye on the opposite doorframe.

"Bang Dang"

It was the sound of a cat's eye piece of metal falling and hitting the metal frame, and the sound of scrambled footsteps.

Really.

Chen Qian walked quickly to the door of the opposite house and raised his hand to knock on the door.

The other party didn't open the door, he took a few steps back, and was about to raise his leg and kick it up, when he heard the sound of unlocking.

Like a wolf ready to attack, he held his breath, lifted his coat with one hand, and held the gun at his waist.

The door opened a small crack, and half a small head poked out.

Chen Qian's spear was halfway drawn, and then quietly stuffed it back.

Is it a woman?

The girl, with her long hair scattered, was dressed in pajamas, and her watery eyes looked at him timidly.

Before Chen Qian could speak, the girl whispered first, "I'm sorry." ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ......," she was a little ashamed, and it took a long time to complete the rest of the sentence, "I want to peek at you." ”

Her voice was like spring water, like a mountain stream hitting a rock, tinkling, inexplicably sweet, which made Chen Qian's impatient heart relax.

Seeing that Chen Qian didn't speak, the girl retracted into the room, and soon ran out again, holding a card in her hand when she appeared.

"This is my ID card, you see, I'm really a law-abiding citizen. She gritted her teeth, her face flushed, "No, not a perverted voyeur." ”

Chen Qian lowered his eyes, the person in the ID photo looked very green, his face was white and clean, his lips were pursed, and his eyes were big and round, indeed like a deer.

Chen Qian glanced at the name again.

Tong Huan.

Take another look at the date of birth.

Oh, twenty-two this year, maybe still a student.

Seeing that Chen Qian still didn't speak, the girl ran back again, took out her student ID, and wanted to open it for him.

"Alright. "Chen Qian has a headache.

"Oh. She put her card back in her pocket and stood with her head down, like a child who has been punished for doing something wrong.

It's stupid.

Chen Qian: "Do me a favor." ”

Tong Huan was puzzled: "Huh?"

"I didn't have the key, so I'll borrow your balcony to use it. ”

Chen Qian didn't bother to wait for her brain circuit to understand, so she pushed the door in directly, and quickly glanced around, the cardboard boxes piled up in the corner, the half-eaten instant noodles on the table, the dusty TV cabinet, and the clothes crammed together on the sofa, it seemed that they were still in a state that they had just moved over, and they had not been sorted out.

Walking to the balcony, it was even more chaotic, Chen Qian glanced around, and barely found a place to stay.

"These are the landlord's stuff and I haven't had time to collect it yet. Tong Huan noticed his gaze, a little embarrassed, and followed behind to explain.

The balcony of each house here is open-air, because the door on the balcony can be locked, and there was no security net, and the tenant wanted to be safe, but the landlord said that he would bear the cost, and he pulled it back and forth, and finally it was not settled, so that's it.

Seeing him looking at the distance between the two balconies, Tong Huan asked, "Do you want to jump over?" and muttered again, "It's better to find a locksmith, it's not safe."

Before the words fell, Chen Qian stepped on the railing, and the whole person took off, and in an instant, he landed firmly on the opposite balcony.

The word "Quan" choked in his throat, and Tong Huan was dumbfounded.

Will he fly?

Chen Qian was very useful to Tong Huan's expression, he propped himself on the railing of his balcony, tilted his head, and shouted casually: "Hey." ”

Tong Huan looked at him.

"Don't peek next time. ”

Tong Huan's face turned red all of a sudden, from his cheeks to the roots of his ears.

Chen Qian thought it was funny, and added: "Otherwise, I will sue you for sexual harassment." ”

The girl was in a hurry, and it seemed that she had to explain something, but Chen Qian didn't give her a chance, turned around and went into the house.

Back in the house, he took out the key from his pocket and threw it on the table, leaning back on the sofa.

He sat for a while, and then his addiction came up, and he took the cigarette case only to find that it was empty.

". He let out a low curse, tossed the cigarette case aside, and tugged at his collar impatiently, feeling a strange itch spread from his heart to his limbs.

Not because of the addiction to smoking, he knows, not because of this.

Chen Qian slept until five o'clock in the afternoon and was woken up by a phone call.

He pressed his temples and answered the phone with a stinking scolding.

Waiting for him to get up after venting his anger, he said happily: "Brother Qian, don't come out to play." ”

"Play with your mother. "The anger hasn't subsided yet.

"My mom isn't as fun as the girls here. He Yang laughed, "At the ferry, everyone is there." After a pause, his voice lowered, "Brother Jiang is also here." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qian's thoughts became clearer, he half-propped himself up, and replied: "Got it." ”

After sitting on the bed for more than ten minutes, Chen Qian finally came to his senses, he dragged his steps to the bathroom, propped his hands on the washstand, and looked at himself in the mirror, his hair was messy, his face was blue, and his eyes were red.

He has long been accustomed to his appearance, his work and rest are irregular, and he drinks and smokes heavily, and his body has long been empty.

He was only twenty-five years old.

Chen Qian leaned against the tiles on the back wall, stared at his face in the mirror, and after a while, couldn't help but sneer.

What's there, it's good now.

......

At six o'clock, Chen Qian finally finished washing up and went out leisurely.

As soon as I got downstairs, my sight line was jammed.

Yo, coincidence.

Wooden cabinets, rattan chairs, refrigerators, mattresses, and two or three cardboard boxes with bowls, tablecloths, and some small household items.

Tong Huan stood next to him and made a phone call in a hurry.

Chen Qian got closer and heard her shouting: "Why didn't you say it when I paid the money? What do you want me to do now? Do you want me to carry it up alone?"

After yelling, she hung up the phone, her face red and annoyed.

She unconsciously looked around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Qian walking this way. The two looked at each other, Tong Huan was startled, and a little embarrassed.

Chen Qian looked away lightly, passed in front of her without squinting, and walked straight out.

His steps were slower than usual, but steadier than usual, as if he was confident.

"That ......," Tong Huan said weakly behind his back.

Chen Qian hooked the corners of his mouth.

When he turned around, he put his hand in his trouser pocket, raised his chin, and looked at her faintly, waiting for the next sentence.

Tong Huan: "Are you in a hurry?"

"How?"

"If you're not in a hurry, can you do me a favor?" she spoke quickly, as if she was afraid that he would refuse, "I bought something, can you help me move it?"

Chen Qian was noncommittal about her description.

Tong Huan lowered her head, her fingers twisted together, she knew that it was not good for her to make this request, but if he didn't help, she wouldn't be able to vomit blood.

While she was nervous, she heard him say, "Yes." ”

Chen Qian walked to the wooden cabinet first, raised a corner with his hand and checked it, it should be solid wood, a little heavy, but it was more than enough for him. He was about to move, but as soon as he thought about it, he shouted to Tong Huan: "Hey, come here and help." ”

The little girl still looked stunned, and quickly trotted over with an "oh" sound.

She was about to lift the other side, when she accidentally touched his hand that happened to be stretched out, and immediately took it back as if she had been electrocuted, her eyes flustered.

Chen Qian chuckled: "Be careful." ”

Tong Huan's face turned red again.

Chen Qian didn't tease her anymore, he bowed slightly, and moved most of the weight of the cabinet to his hands.

There is no elevator in the old-fashioned building, Chen Qian and Tong Huan are on the fourth floor, the fourth floor is not high or low, and it is already half past six after the things are moved.

Tong Huan looked a little choked, she was embarrassed to let Chen Qian move those cardboard boxes, and she ran upstairs and downstairs by herself sweating profusely. Chen Qian was okay, not red or panting, sitting leisurely on the sofa of Tong Huan's house.

Tong Huan brought him a glass of water from the kitchen, she seemed to be in a much better mood, the trouble was solved, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression when she looked at Chen Qian was also full of gratitude.

"Thank you so much today. Tong Huan was a little cramped, "Why don't I invite you to dinner, it's a thank you, and by the way...... Apologize. ”

Chen sneaked in, knowing that she was referring to last night's incident.

Tong Huan suddenly remembered again: "You just went out for something, right?"

"Let's go. ”

Tong Huan was stunned: "Huh?"

"Aren't you going to eat, let's go. ”

Chen Qian's face did not change, his face was serious, God knows that the mobile phone in his pocket has vibrated several times, and He Yang has been urging him.

Moving things and inviting them to dinner, Chen Qian felt that he might have fallen into an evil spirit.

At night, the city lights up brightly and brightly.

Nanzhou is famous for being a city that never sleeps, even at two or three o'clock in the evening, it is still prosperous, and the sheng song is not stopped.

There is a bar street near the West Third Ring Road, where hundreds of bars and nightclubs of all sizes are gathered, and there are often fights and brawls. There are women standing on the side of the street, and the drunk who passes by sometimes can't help but come forward to pinch it, and the woman is not angry, if the price can be negotiated, she can go directly to the small hotel on the side to open a room.

Of course, by analogy with this kind of self-operation, the nightclub is more professional, everyone is nominally Miss Princess, but once the box door closes, no one knows what is going on inside.

Over time, this area became notorious, and police patrols were reluctant to come to this area. Even if you want to clean up, the forces involved in it are too complicated, and you can't do it if you have the heart.

The ferry port is the largest nightclub on the street.

When Chen sneaked to the door, it was already eight o'clock.

He originally wanted to stay a little longer, but He Yang's phone calls kept urging, and even Tong Huan saw it, so he asked him to go and get busy first if he had something.

Entering the gate, the front desk attendant knew him and led him directly inside.

Pushing open the door, a strong smell of smoke came to the face, and even the waiter couldn't help but choke twice.

When the people inside heard the sound of the door opening, they all looked at it.

The space is very large, surrounded by a semi-rectangular black leather sofa, about two dozen people, most of whom are sitting near the door, and there are only two or three people sitting inside.

That is, among the two or three people in the shadows, someone called him: "Ah Qian." ”

As soon as the man spoke, everyone else shouted, "Brother Qian." "Brother Qian, good. "Brother Qian is here. ”

Chen Qian didn't pay attention to it, he didn't bother to give one in his eyes, and walked straight in.

", grab a handful. Someone rolled their eyes and scolded to themselves.

Chen Qian was accustomed to these dissatisfaction and resentment, and he had the right to turn a deaf ear and go to He Yang's side.

He Yang and Jiang Yaozong sat together, and when He Yang saw him coming, he moved a little and left the place next to Jiang Yaozong for him.

As soon as Chen Qian sat down, He Yang asked, "Brother Qian, why did you come so late." ”

"Something is delayed. ”

"You've been delaying long enough, for hours. ”

Chen Qian glanced at him coldly, He Yang smiled, and took back the three fingers that stretched out.

"Ah Qian. The people around him called him again.

"Brother Jiang. Chen Qian nodded slightly.

Of all the people present, only Jiang Yaozong could make Chen Qian deal with it with three points.

Of course, no one in the audience dared not to give Jiang Yaozong face.

The person in front of him sat in the shadows, and the hideous scars that spread from the corners of his eyes to his chin appeared and disappeared, making the tall and thin man look hateful.

But he had a warm expression.

"Xiao Man has been waiting for you for a long time. He smiled, with a doting look in his eyes, and looked out the door, "No, I can't wait, I'm running out to find you." ”

He Yang shook his mobile phone: "I sent a message to Xiaoman, and she will be back soon." ”

Before the words fell, the door of the box was pushed open heavily, followed by a loud and crisp voice: "Brother Qian!"
