Prologue (I) The King of Thieves

Next Chapter

In March, Hong Jinxi, the king of thieves in Ningchuan, was arrested.

Ningchuan can only be regarded as a second-tier city in China, with relatively backward economic development and no famous tourist attractions, but since the end of the nineties, the name of Ningchuan thief has begun.

It can be said that with Ningchuan City as the center, three provinces are divided outward.

Among them, hundreds of cities and even county towns have been stolen by the disciples and grandchildren brought out by Hong Jinxi, not to mention the white way, even the underworld is unwilling to provoke this thief.

The title of the king of thieves alone has been in the newspapers no less than ten times over the years.

But to be honest, Hong Jinxi is a thief, but he is a thief with a lot of pursuit.

Small business is not done, and almost all of the things that can be made by him personally are big deals.

The richest person in Ningchuan City is Mr. Lin Rusheng, who is a business giant who rose in the local area in the 80s, and is also a famous antique collector in China.

It is no exaggeration to say that the total value of the antiques stored in his family's vault can buy a quarter of Ningchuan City.

These appalling antique collections were hidden by Lin Rusheng in a private vault under a suburban villa, which was built by Lin Rusheng when he was young, and in recent years it has been continuously improved by using modern technology, and the safety factor is comparable to that of the national treasury, and there is no possibility of theft.

But even such a "high-end" vault has not been able to stop the footsteps of the king of thieves.

In 1998, the vault under the Lin family's villa was stolen, and a total of more than 60 pieces of cultural relics were stolen, the most valuable of which is the Tang Dynasty's Seven Treasures Gilded Luoyan Buddha, which is said to be a collection auctioned by Lin Rusheng in Hong Kong in 90 years, and is currently valued at at least 300 million.

After the news of the theft of the Lin family was exposed, the title of Ningchuan Thief King was completely famous in China, and more and more people learned about Hong Jinxi, the name of the King of Thieves.

In fact, Hong Jinxi's most famous hard kung fu is three doors - fast shot, fast unlocking, plus one fast running.

These kung fu can also be regarded as his ability to settle down and make a living.

One of the biggest headaches for the police is his second kung fu, unlocking.

The speed at which the king of thieves unlocked the lock was definitely unscientific, and it could be seen from the surveillance video provided by the Lin family that even the five doors failed to prevent him, no matter what style of lock it was, it couldn't last two seconds under his hands.

You must know that the vault of the Lin family is comparable to the vault of a big bank, with password locks and fingerprint locks, but it took less than two seconds for the king of thieves to open it...... Is this scientific?

A person who knows the password will take about ten seconds to unlock the lock, and the fastest one is only five seconds, but what if he doesn't know the password?

At the end of 1998, the Seven Treasures gilt Luoyan Buddha stolen by Hong Jinxi appeared in the United Kingdom and was auctioned off by a wealthy businessman at a high price, and the surveillance video provided by the Lin family was also sent to Sijiu City, causing an uproar.

The leaders were not shocked by Hong Jinxi's appalling stealing technique, but they found that Hong Jinxi had a "thing" in his hand that should not have appeared.

I have to say that Hong Jinxi is a very capable thief, in the next few years, let the police chase and intercept him, and under the arrangement of the superiors of Sijiu City, he was arrested in the net, and this old thief has never been caught.

Gradually, the king of thieves began to disappear, as if he had washed his hands in a golden basin, and never committed a crime again.

But no one could have imagined that today, nearly 20 years later, he would become a "guest" of the police.

The outside world thinks that he was arrested, but the people inside know very well that he came in by himself.

On March 10, Hong Jinxi was brought into the interrogation room for the second time.

Zhao Meng, the person in charge of the interrogation, sat on the side, holding a cigarette in his hand, but he didn't light it, staring intently at this fat man who didn't look amazing.

Fifty-three years old, with a public face, less than 1.75 meters tall, and a weight of more than 170 pounds.

How did this kind of person who can't be found in the pile of people become a king of thieves?

"Are you sick?"

Hong Jinxi frowned, looked at the several interrogators around him, and his expression was very unhappy: "I said it all, I found out that the prodigal son turned back with my conscience, how many times do you have to ask before you believe it?" ”

"It's not that I don't believe it, I just can't figure it out." Zhao Meng frowned, his eyes were like knives, as if he wanted to peel off Hong Jinxi's disguise layer by layer, "What the hell do you think?" A scumbag like you would turn back? ”

Hearing this, Hong Jinxi laughed, but he didn't get angry because Zhao Meng scolded him for being a scumbag.

"I'm just a prodigal son, and there's no other reason to turn back." Hong Jinxi smiled, his eyes narrowed, and his face full of horizontal flesh was full of a kind of pride, "Since I surrendered myself, I should be lightly haircut, right?" Will you get shot? ”

When he asked, the self-trust in that tone was palpable to anyone.

"Not necessarily killed, but at least indefinitely." Zhao Meng sneered.

After getting the answer, Hong Jinxi nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay indefinitely." ”

Saying that, Hong Jinxi raised his eyes, swept left and right, and said with a smile, let me go back if it's okay, I didn't sleep well all night, and I just went back to make up for sleep.

"Nope." Zhao Meng lit a cigarette and smoked slowly, "I haven't finished the trial yet." ”

"What else do you have to ask?" Hong Jinxi frowned and looked at him with some impatience.

"It's not us who interrogated you today, it's a person arranged by the superiors to come over......."

Zhao Meng said, moved the lamp on the table to the side, stepped forward, and looked at Hong Jinxi's face carefully.

"He wants to see you and says he wants to take something from you."

Hong Jinxi, who has never taken these interrogators seriously, seemed to realize something after hearing Zhao Meng's words, and his expression was obviously stiffened.

But before he could say anything, the door of the interrogation room had been pushed open, and the first to enter were two policemen, followed by a fat man in civilian clothes in his forties.

His figure is about the same as Hong Jinxi, but he wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and his smile is indescribably cordial.

"The King of Thieves?" He asked.

Hong Jinxi was stunned, and was thinking about whether to nod.

only heard a muffled sound, Hong Jinxi didn't have time to react, and his head was pressed on the table by the fat man.

"The first time we met, let me introduce myself, my surname is Huo."

After the fat man held down Hong Jinxi, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he politely greeted the rest of the people present, took out his documents from his pocket, seemed to know Zhao Meng, and handed them directly to him.

When he received it in his hand, Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment, looked at the fat man surnamed Huo in disbelief, and then carefully handed the document back.

"I'd like to talk to him alone." Huo Fatzi smiled, "Please avoid it." ”

If he hadn't looked at Huo Fatzi's documents, maybe Zhao Meng would have wanted to ask a few more words, but now...... Zhao Meng felt that this matter was more complicated than he imagined, and the less he knew, the better.

Until everyone left the interrogation room, Huo Fatzi didn't let go of Hong Jinxi, and still pressed his head and began to work slowly.......

Hong Jinxi sneered and didn't beg for mercy, seeing that he seemed to want to carry it to the end.

In Ningchuan City, and even in several surrounding provinces, Hong Jinxi belongs to the kind of black-and-white character, if he doesn't have any ability, can he survive to this day?

"Let's fight, grandson." Hong Jinxi smiled.

Huo Fatzi snorted and only said one word.

"Okay."

As soon as the words fell, Huo Fatzi pressed his hands hard, and Hong Jinxi couldn't stop starting to bleed.

It was only at this time that Hong Jinxi realized that Huo Fatzi's hand strength was wrong, it was simply not human strength, it was the same as a mechanical hydraulic press.

Although the speed of the afterburner in Huo Fatzi's hand is very slow, the feeling that the cheekbones seem to be slowly crushed is indeed not something that Hong Jinxi can bear.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The sound of bones being squeezed and deformed gradually echoed in the interrogation room.

"Stop!! I can't admit it!! ”

Hearing Hong Jinxi's screams, Huo Fatzi still had that kind smile, his eyes were like looking at his old friend, he reached out and picked up the lamp on the table, and smashed it down on the back of Hong Jinxi's head.

After doing all this, Huo Fatzi looked at the blood on the head of the king of thieves, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked him.

"Where's the key?"

Hong Jinxi is a standard bastard, and not being afraid of heaven and earth is his life creed, but now that he understands it, if he continues to harden his mouth, the creed will become an epitaph.

This fat man really wants to play him to death.

"What key?" Hong Jinxi asked rhetorically, pretending to be puzzled, and his tone had softened significantly.

"What do you say?"

Huo Fatzi smiled, picked up the lamp and shone it on his head again, it was heavier than before, and he almost rolled his eyes by smashing Hong Jinxi, but he still smiled and asked with a smile.

"If you don't have a key, then what do you rely on to open the door when you go to thousands of houses? The Lin family's vault that is so tightly protected has been opened by you? You don't rely on the key to open the door, do you? ”

Speaking of this, Huo Fatzi put down the lamp, dragged Hong Jinxi's arm sideways, and threw him into the corner of the interrogation room like garbage.

"In 1973, Mawangdui unearthed five keys, but accidentally lost one when transporting them to the capital......" Huo Fatzi took out a box of panda cigarettes from his pocket, and slowly lit it, like chatting with Hong Jinxi with a smile, "Actually, I'm quite curious, how did the key end up in your hands?" ”

"What key!? I don't even understand what you're saying!! Hong Jinxi collapsed in the corner, his face full of panic, wiping the blood on his head while avoiding Huo Fatzi's gaze.

Huo Fatzi took out two photos from his pocket and gently placed them in front of Hong Jinxi.

A photo taken from surveillance video, the image is clear and full of color, and the date in the lower right corner of the photo corresponds to the date of Hong Jinxi's theft of the Lin family's vault.

The other photograph is much more blurry and dated, showing five metal key-like utensils.

Huo Fatzi smoked a cigarette, sat on a chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and squinted at Hong Jinxi.

"You may not know where the key came from, but you know what it does, and I don't want to ask you anything else right now, just tell me where the key is?"

After Hong Jinxi saw those two photos, the whole person looked depressed, and his eyes were extremely contradictory, as if he was doing some kind of psychological struggle.

It took two minutes for Hong Jinxi to speak.

"I lost my key."

Hearing this, Huo Fatzi didn't say much, and directly smashed the lamp on the table.

"You say it again?" Huo Fatzi stared at Hong Jinxi with a smile.

Hong Jinxi was hit by a desk lamp and his head was bleeding, and his spirit seemed to be in a trance, and he jumped up like crazy and yelled at Huo Fat: "You think I deliberately lost the key?!" I ......."

Huo Fatzi didn't say a word, and looked at him without saying a word.

If a person's eyes are as sharp as a knife blade, then Huo Fatzi's eyes are definitely a scraper.

It's like a real scraper, which can scrape off the camouflage on each other's body layer by layer.

Stared at by him, Hong Jinxi also felt hairy on his back, slowly calmed down, and sat cross-legged on the ground with a depressed face.

"I ...... I came in to take refuge......."

Hearing Hong Jinxi's words, Huo Fatzi changed his expression for the first time, and frowned: "Take refuge?" ”

"A week ago, my son didn't know where to find out the news, saying that the Kiriyama Psychiatric Hospital had bought a batch of gold bricks from other provinces......"

"Mental hospitals buy gold bricks?" Huo Fatzi looked at Hong Jinxi suspiciously, "Why don't they buy medical supplies and buy gold bricks?" ”

Hong Jinxi said: "I also wonder, besides, what kind of mental hospital can be so rich to buy a fucking car of gold bricks." ”

Saying that, Hong Jinxi asked Huo Fatzi for a cigarette.

"How many gold bricks are there?" Huo Fatzi asked curiously, and helped Hong Jinxi light a cigarette in a friendly way.

Hong Jinxi said: "One ton." ”

"Are you making fun of me?" Huo Fatzi frowned, "A ton of gold bricks? Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”

Hong Jinxi shook his head, his body trembled vigorously when he smoked, I don't know if he was scared by Huo Fatzi, or if he remembered something that frightened him, his eyes became trance.

"A ton of gold bricks, that's not a joke, the hospital is not a bank vault, it doesn't take much effort to steal it, I didn't even wash my hands in gold, but this ...... I was greedy. ”

According to Hong Jinxi, the specific number of gold bricks and the date of delivery to the psychiatric hospital were thoroughly checked by his son, and in order to avoid accidents, he also deliberately went out on his own and brought people with him to do this.

"Your son is a thief too?" Huo Fatzi asked curiously.

"Dragons give birth to dragons, and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes." Hong Jinxi said.

Huo Fatzi snorted, you directly said that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and you have put gold on your face!

"My son is good, has a good foundation, has a high understanding, and he is not named on the white road, but he is hidden from me, and I am ready to pass the key to him in a few years, but who knows....... Who knew it would turn out like this......."

"Missed?" Huo Fatzi asked curiously.

Hong Jinxi didn't squeak, hung his head, and his body kept trembling.

After a while, Hong Jinxi said in a hoarse voice, "I missed, but it wasn't just a miss."

Huo Fatzi was stunned and asked him what he meant?

"My son, and my three apprentices......"

When he said this, Hong Jinxi trembled more and more violently, and his face turned pale, obviously the sequelae of being greatly frightened.

"They were eaten."
