Chapter 259: Pawnshop

Only those who wander the edge of a cliff understand the danger of being there. In the same way, only those who are in the abyss of pain can appreciate how tormenting it is.

Sozud didn't know how far he had come, fear was the only thing he had of the bar at this point, where he had recovered his lost memories. But the memories weren't friendly, and they wrapped him around him like thorns, round and round, cutting through flesh and into the marrow.

Standing in front of a small supermarket with sore legs, he took out his phone and looked through the address book, which everyone hoped to get a lot of money from him, which was harder than a rock and colder than a glacier. After a while, he saw the assistant's phone inside, and Suzud sighed and dialed the assistant's phone.

"Come pick me up."

"Yes."

Suzud watched as the supermarket owner and his wife sat at the table eating, with a relaxed smile on their faces, and his wife would blush and gently pat her husband from time to time. Suzude was drawn to the heartwarming image as his legs uncontrollably walked into the supermarket. The boss got up and asked enthusiastically.

"What do you need?"

At this time, Suzud's stomach was rumbling, and he stared intently at the food on the table, and the boss asked.

"You..."

"Can I have a bite to eat with you?"

The boss and his wife looked at each other, not knowing what to do in the face of this inexplicable request. After a few moments, the boss said.

"I'm sorry, it's all leftovers from yesterday, and it doesn't look like you're struggling to get enough to eat. Didn't you bring any money? Then you can choose something to eat, it's free, I'll treat you. ”

Su Zude said stubbornly.

"I just want to eat with you."

The boss said with a sad face.

"It's all leftovers from yesterday, and it's really hard to entertain you."

"It's okay."

The boss asked him to sit down a little embarrassed, and his wife served him a bowl of porridge. Su Zude was not polite, took all the dishes on the table and put them into his bowl, and then devoured them. Then he wiped his mouth and said.

"Delicious. It's been a long time since I've tasted anything like this. ”

The husband and wife looked at the unpretentious meal on the table and wondered if this person was sick. At this time, a luxury car stopped at the door of the supermarket, and the assistant got out of the car and walked into the supermarket quickly.

"Sir, we can go."

Su Zude got up and stretched out his hand to the assistant, who immediately understood what he meant. Then he took out a thick wad of bills, to say the least, 20,000. Suzud put the money on the table and said.

"For you."

The boss was stunned for a moment and said.

"No, no, no, I can't."

"Take it. It's not about the food, it's about thanking you for giving me a taste of the craftsmanship of the old people. ”

With that, Suzude strode out of the supermarket. The assistant opened the car door and waited respectfully for Su Zude to get into the car, and Su Zude glanced at the assistant for a moment when he bent over and said.

"I've been working hard for you all along, Wei Renxuan."

As soon as the words fell, a trace of coldness flashed in Su Zude's eyes. Wei Renxuan's hand holding the car door suddenly trembled, and Su Zude said to the driver after getting into the car.

"Drive."

Wei Renxuan stared at the departing car like a sculpture.

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze went to the police station during the day, where they met the apprentice of the deceased Gu Pansheng. The thick lenses could not block the student's anger on his face, and when Fang Fan saw him in the interrogation room, he was nervous as if he was facing a butcher's lamb, and his whole body kept trembling, even the table in front of him trembled. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze pulled out chairs and sat opposite him and said.

"What's your name?"

"Wu Jinyan."

"How old are you?"

“25。”

"Do you know why we came to you?"

Wu Jinyan shook his head and said.

"I don't know. As soon as I got off the train, I was taken here by the station police, and they didn't tell me why. ”

Zhang Ze put the photos of the scene and Gu Pansheng's autopsy report in front of him and said.

"Not long ago, your master Gu Pansheng passed away."

Wu Jinyan flipped through the photos and reports, and his face became worse and worse. It's fear, a fear that's hard to hide.

"How could my master..."

"We also want to know why your master was killed. So the purpose of calling you here today is to ask you if you had any strange actions before you looked forward to life and death. ”

Wu Jin said categorically.

"No, nothing."

"Are you so sure?"

Wu Jinyan nodded vigorously, Zhang Ze suddenly got up and slapped the table hard, staring at Wu Jinyan intently. If Wu Jinyan lied, he hoped to use this sense of oppression to bring him to his knees. Wu Jinyan's eyes did not dodge, and he also looked at Zhang Ze directly, which was in stark contrast to his previous nervousness. Zhang Ze sat on the chair and asked.

"When did you go on a business trip?"

"October 27th."

Fang Fan looked down at the information, Gu Pansheng's time of death was October 29. In other words, Wu Jinyan had an alibi, and in order to be presumptuous, Fang Fan decided to ask the station staff to check the list of passengers who traveled on October 27 and the surveillance video.

"How's the relationship between your master and apprentice?"

"Good."

"But what we learned about the couple is, your relationship with your master seems to be more than just good, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Ze smiled evilly and whispered to Wu Jinyan.

"Your master is gay, right?"

This sentence was like touching a certain switch in Wu Jinyan's body, and he shouted excitedly.

"It's a frame-up, a naked frame-up."

Wu Jinyan's reaction was exactly what Zhang Ze needed, and many people's sanity would turn negative in the event of a rage, which might allow Wu Jinyan's fox tail to be exposed. Zhang Ze continued to ask aggressively.

"Because your master is gay, you can't stand his harassment, and then you just kill him without doing anything, right?"

The anger in Wu Jinyan's eyes was enough to roast Zhang Ze into jerky, and he slammed the table angrily. The iron desktop was stunned by him and smashed a hole, Zhang Ze was startled, and his body reflexively dodged back. Wu Jinyan's eyes were bloodshot and said.

"I didn't kill my master, I didn't."

Fang Fan motioned to Zhang Ze not to ask like this again, and Zhang Ze returned to his seat and sat down again. Fang Fan asked softly.

"Can you provide some clues about Gu Pansheng's death?"

Wu Jinyan sat on the side without saying a word, it can be seen that Zhang Ze's words just now stimulated him a little too much, and at this time he was completely caught in the grief of his master's killing. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze walked out of the interrogation room and arranged for someone to prepare some lunch for Wu Jinyan.

"Zhang Ze, you just went a little too far."

Zhang Ze pouted and said.

"Who knew he was so poor in his heart."

"But this can also see that the relationship between him and Gu Pansheng is indeed very good."

At this time, someone shouted Fang Fan.

"Fang Fan."

Fang Fan turned around and saw Liu Anguo walking towards them.

"What's wrong? Lao Liu. ”

"Gu Pansheng's mobile phone has been successfully unlocked, look at this."

Fang Fan took the evidence bag, which contained Gu Pansheng's mobile phone.

"I saw a few very explicit text messages in his mobile phone, and the other party's note was Sanniangzi. The communication between the two ended on the night of the 28th, and Gu Pansheng was killed the next day, do you say it will be..."

"Contact this person?"

"I used Gu Pansheng's mobile phone to call her, but the other party quickly hung up the phone as soon as he heard that it was not Gu Pansheng's voice."

Fang Fan touched the stubble on his chin and thought about it, and said.

"Lao Liu, lend me your phone first."

"Fang Fan, you know the rules, this is evidence."

"Of course I know the rules, but it's not a special situation right now."

As soon as the words fell, Wu Binlong's voice came from behind him.

"Let Fang Fan take it."

Wu Binlong walked over to them and said.

"I believe that Fang Fan is here to investigate the case. Lao Liu is not wrong, Lao Liu, you are responsible for supervision. ”

"Yes."

Fang Fan planned to take the phone back and let Han Shuo decipher it, maybe he could find the other party's location. These days, Guo Jianyue has taken a vacation because of something some time ago, so the current science and technology experts are only Han Shuo.

When the three of them returned to the Spring Flavor Bar, they happened to meet Han Shuo retrieving memories for Su Zude, so the three of them waited in the hall. After a long time, Fang Fan and the others saw Su Zude walking out of it with an ugly face, followed by Su Kang, who was at a loss. Fang Fan and Liu Anguo took their mobile phones to find Han Shuo, while Zhang Ze stayed in the hall.

"Han Shuo, can you find out the location of the other party based on the text message communication records from the other day?"

Han Shuo thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, yes, but it will take a lot of time."

Han Shuo picked up his mobile phone and connected it to the computer to start deciphering it, Fang Fan said.

"Lao Liu, do you want to go out for a drink?"

Liu Anguo looked at the computer screen intently and said.

"I'm not going, Wu Bureau let me watch, I can't go."

Fang Fan said with a helpless face.

"Then you wait. We were outside. ”

Fang Fan came out and saw Zhang Ze and Su Kang sitting in the hall drinking, he walked over and patted Su Kang on the shoulder and said.

"What's wrong with your dad?"

Su Kang let out a long sigh and said.

"Han Shuo said that his memories were all restored."

"Really? That's a good thing. ”

Su Kang twitched the wine glass in his hand and said.

"Fang Fan, I don't want to investigate this case anymore."

"Why?"

"I've always cared about my mother's death, and then I learned that I still want to ask for an explanation. But from helping my father find his memories in the past few days, I realized that it was not only my mother who had been suffering, but my father was also suffering. The moment he walked out, I wondered if it was a good thing or a bad thing to help him get his memories back, and maybe it would be a good thing for us to live a dull life. ”

Zhang Ze didn't say a word and just drank wine, Fang Fan looked at the bubbles surging upwards in the wine bottle, although the frequency was very slow, but one after another was orderly.

"Su Kang, I can understand what you say. But you also know who Mr. Su is targeting. Sometimes even if you want to live well, life won't go your way. ”

"I understand. But we can escape. Can't be provoked, can't you hide? ”

"Do you think those people let you go easily?"

"Then we'll give up the company and give it to them if they want it."

"You put it simply, they want more than just the company, but the person Suzud."

"Hey..."

"I know you're tired, you have a good rest for a while, put this matter aside for a while, and wait until we finish dealing with the case at hand and face it with you."

Su Kang nodded, then picked up the bottle and took a big sip. After a long time, more and more customers came to the bar, and even the lively atmosphere could hardly spread to Fang Fan and them. At this time, Liu Anguo walked out happily and said.

"Found it, found it."

"Where?"

"The person who texted with Gu Pansheng lives in the Chihai apartment."

Without further ado, the three of them drove to the 16th floor of Chihai Apartment, room 1603. Zhang Ze stepped forward and knocked on the door, and there was a sound of footsteps inside, followed by the sound of turning the doorknob. A pair of vigilant eyes peeked through the crack in the door.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We're looking for you."

As soon as the words fell, the other party closed the door hard, and no matter how hard Zhang Ze knocked on the door, no one answered.

"Team Liu, I'm sorry for you to help testify."

Liu Anguo didn't react to what Fang Fan meant.

"Huh? What are you..."

Before the words fell, Fang Fan kicked the door open, and Liu Anguo looked at the kicked door lock and said blankly.

"I have to write a report again."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze rushed into the room like a whirlwind, and after a period of searching, the two found nothing. Zhang Ze said.

"It's weird, what about people?"

At this time, Liu Anguo pointed out the window and couldn't speak in horror, so he could only hum hesitantly. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze followed his fingers and found that there was a woman flying in the air outside the window, her wings behind her back were flapping up and down, her limbs naturally hung down, and she looked at them with a dull face, and then let out a strange scream and disappeared. Liu Anguo was so frightened that he sat on the ground panting, and Zhang Ze stepped forward to comfort him.

"It's okay, we're all not weird, just get used to it."

"Get used to a fart."

Fang Fan pulled Liu Anguo up from the ground and said.

"It's not over yet."

After that, the three of them walked out of the apartment, and Liu Anguo asked on the way.

"Where are we going?"

"Follow her."

Fang Fan pointed to the sky as he spoke, only to see that the woman was still flying in mid-air, at such a slow speed, obviously trying to take them to a place. Liu Anguo said.

"You see I have other work tomorrow, or I'll leave today."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ze put his arms around his shoulders and said.

"Don't, if you leave, who will supervise our work?"

"No, no, no, I believe that you will definitely complete the tasks assigned by the Wu Bureau well, and I won't bother."

Fang Fan said suddenly.

"Sit down."

Immediately, the rear of the car slammed to the right, and Liu Anguo's face was directly attached to the window. After the car returned to the center, Fang Fan stepped on the accelerator and chased after him.

"That guy picked up speed."

At this time, Liu Anguo's face turned pale.

"No, I'm going to throw up."

Zhang Ze pushed him aside and said.

"Damn, don't spit on me."

Liu Anguo opened the car window and vomited like a shower, Zhang Ze didn't want to look at him, and after a while, the car stopped in front of an old house, and there were two big words hanging on both sides of the door.

"Zhang Ze, take a photo."

Zhang Ze took out his mobile phone and took a photo and asked.

"Old Fang, aren't we going in?"

"Nope."

With that, the brake lights went out and the car drove away. The three of them returned to the police station, and at this time, only the police officer on duty remained, and Liu Anguo leaned on the sofa in his office for a while.

"Lao Liu, isn't it? I remember you weren't that bad. ”

Liu Anguo said slowly.

"Nonsense, what age are you, what age am I. I can be your dad. ”

Zhang Ze pouted and said.

"Tut-tut, you're taking advantage of me."

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue. Seriously, what was that? ”

"I don't know."

"Old Fang, do you know?"

Fang Fan was looking at the map of Zhonghai City on the wall at this time, which clearly marked every street in Zhonghai City, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find the street they had just walked on.

"Old side, old side. What do you see? ”

"Why didn't you have that path just now?"

"What's that street called?"

"I glanced at the street sign just now, it seems to be called Tongming Road."

After that, Fang Fan looked at Zhang Ze and Liu Anguo, both of them were shaking their heads, no one knew where this Tongming Road was. Fang Fan stretched and said.

"It's not early today, let's go back first. I still have something to ask Wu Jinyan tomorrow. ”

Wu Binlong specially sent people to guard the door of the interrogation room, and no one was allowed to approach Wu Jinyan, and if Wu Jinyan made any requests, he would try his best to meet them. Before leaving, Fang Fan glanced at Wu Jinyan and found that the food on the table had not been moved, and he was lying motionless on the table.

"Brother, he's all right, right?"

The officer in charge of the guard glanced inside and said.

"It's okay, he just asked for water to drink, and he is probably sleepy."

After that, Fang Fan took out two boxes of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed them into the other party's hands and said.

"Brother has worked hard."

"Team Fang, you're too polite, that's not what I should do."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze returned to the bar, Yuehan and them sat around a table to drink and chat, and Fenggu Yu held the guitar and sang affectionately on stage. Zhang Ze touched Fang Fan and said.

"Is Xiaoyou okay?"

"It looks like it's going to be fine."

Nothing was said all night, and the next morning was in the morning. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze rushed to the police station early and happened to meet Wu Binlong who came to work.

"Fang Fan, how is the investigation?"

Fang Fan thought for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"Wu Ju, do you know a street called Tongming Road?"

Wu Binlong said with a blank face.

"I came here later than you, how would I know. What's wrong? ”

"Last night we tracked down a suspect to Tongming Road, and when we came back, we didn't find this road on the map or on the navigation."

"I know, I will ask the traffic police to assist in the investigation, you are also focusing on Wu Jinyan, I will notify you when there is a result."

"Then I'm sorry for you."

Wu Binlong walked quickly to the office, and Fang Fan and Zhang Ze came to the interrogation room. The police officer who was guarding the door last night yawned for a long time, and when he saw Fang Fan coming, he immediately came to his senses. Fang Fan handed him the coffee in his hand and asked.

"Was it okay last night?"

"It's okay, I'm honest all night."

"Let's go and rest. Thank you for your hard work. ”

With that, the police officer gestured at the coffee in his hand, thanked him and left. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze walked into the interrogation room, and when they saw Wu Jinyan still lying on the table, Zhang Ze went over and knocked on the table and said.

"Wake up. The sun is on the ass. ”

Wu Jinyan sat up tiredly and looked at Fang Fan, then at Zhang Ze, and said lazily.

"I really don't know anything, you can let me go."

Fang Fan said with a smile.

"As long as you tell me what this place is, I'll let you go."

"What?"

Fang Fan asked Zhang Ze to take out the photo taken last night, Zhang Ze rummaged through his phone for a while and found the photo and put it in front of Wu Jinyan and asked.

"What is this place?"

Wu Jinyan leaned over to the mobile phone and glanced at it, then jumped up from the chair and said.

"How did you find here?"

Fang Fan looked at his reaction and said with a smile.

"Looks like you know what this place is?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

"Alright, then you'll stay here forever."

After that, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were about to turn around and go out, when Wu Jinyan suddenly said.

"Okay, I said."

"Listen up."

"I said yes, but you have to tell me how you found this place."

Fang Fan took out Gu Pansheng's mobile phone and put it in front of him and said.

"We found out that your master had a relationship with this woman named Sanniangzi before, so we traced her to live in the Chihai apartment, and later she took me to that pawnshop."

"Have you seen the third lady? Then you can also..."

"Huh? You mean we shouldn't come back alive, do you? ”

Wu Jinyan nodded, then immediately shook his head and said.

"I didn't mean that either. The third lady is the owner of that pawnshop, as long as you give her your most precious things, she will grant you a wish. Pay it back in money within the deadline, and she will return it to you, otherwise she will ask you for her life. ”

"I see, then did your master also look for her?"

Wu Jinyan nodded silently.

"Then do you know what he did?"

Wu Jinyan said after being silent for a long time.

"His dignity."

Hearing this, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked at each other. Wu Jinyan continued.

"Actually, Master has always had the bad habit of gambling, and I have advised him several times, but he just can't quit. When gambling is a thing to win, there is no winner in gambling for a long time. As time went on, the master owed more and more money, and he began to borrow money from everywhere. Later, he somehow found Sanniangzi, and he was willing to use his self-esteem to exchange a large sum of money from Sanniangzi to pay off his debts.

In fact, the master is also a man who stands up to the sky, only because he has lost his self-esteem, so he looks so humble in the face of anyone and everything. Later, I persuaded Master to exchange my self-esteem with money, and Master agreed. But it is not easy to raise such a large sum of money in a short period of time. So he exchanged the other most important thing for a large sum of money, and then doubled it at the gambling table to repay the third lady. ”

"What did he do this time?"

"His soul. But it backfired, and in the end, the master not only failed to make money, but owed more. ”

"Isn't your master stupid? Knowing that gambling can't make money, he still gambles again and again. ”

Wu Jinyan slapped the case and shouted.

"You are not allowed to insult my master."

Zhang Ze waved his hand and said.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, you continue."

Wu Jinyan was silent for a moment, and then said.

"Seeing that the deadline was approaching, Master came to me and begged me to save him. But how could I have so much money, so I had to find the third lady. ”

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were stunned, and Fang Fan asked.

"Did you make a deal with her too?"

"Hmm. In order to save Master, this is the only way I have. ”

Fang Fan looked at the childish child in front of him and let out a long sigh of regret.
