Chapter 8: A Wonderful Paradise
Every muscle, every vein, and even every nerve seems to still have life, and this is heaven, the mysterious drug.
Until he walked into the sheriff's office, Jin Junmei was still shocked by the mysterious origin and utility of this drug, which was called paradise.
The chubby sheriff Davic listened carefully to Jin Junmei's report on the fish-belly corpse case, and happily signed the corresponding documents such as the notice of assistance investigation, and said a lot of words of encouragement, everything is no different from a generous elder, but Jin Junmei just went out on the front foot, and Davic immediately called Quirrell and asked him to change his bet, because he heard that Jin Junmei had found Ah Jun as a private consultant, so that the balance of the bet would definitely be broken.
It turns out that the rules of the metropolitan security system, all the first man handled by a new police officer from outside will be awarded a homicide case without exception, and then bet on the new officer's ability to handle the case, which has become a local police culture.
Jin Junmei had heard of this cultural atmosphere before, but she didn't care, because she was very confident and believed that she could solve this case successfully.
However, the investigation of the case is not only about fighting and chasing and the rain of bullets, but there is also a lot of copywriting work, but this is also difficult for Jin Junmei.
She first applied for assistance in the investigation, sent it to the police department of the Iron Empire, asked them to find out the identity of the victim, and then spent another afternoon hunched down at her desk to make the case file.
When she finished the case file, she found that everyone except the sergeant on duty had already left work, and night had fallen.
Jin Junmei stretched his waist, locked the case file, and then left the police station.
It was already completely dark, but 42nd Street was lit up with neon lights, as well as the surrounding neighborhood and beyond.
The floodplains of the metropolis are increasingly showing a depraved atmosphere of entertainment to death. But it is very ironic that entertainment to death is precisely the only means for people living in the flood area to live, to live as well as possible.
But Jin Junmei, who was strolling on Forty-second Street once, was not infected by the outside atmosphere at all, and her thoughts were all focused on the case of hiding the corpse in the belly of the fish.
In fact, according to Ah Jun, it is not difficult to solve this case, because Heaven is a drug with a very low production volume, the circle of audiences is small, and the price is very expensive, but the problem also arises here.
The deceased was a policeman in a steel city-state with limited financial means (unless he was a major embezzler), and generally did not have the financial means to consume the drug. But the toxins in his body far exceed the lethal amount of a healthy man by thousands of times.
This is very strange, whether it is suicide or homicide, this is a tyrant-style death. If we extrapolate only from the value of the drug, suicide is more likely, because the deceased is likely to "not want to get by." β
Jin Junmei returned to the apartment run by Feng Daniu, and before entering the lobby, the Naga girl Kekexi greeted her and greeted her with a smile: "Sister police officer is back?" Do you need me to change gauze for your wound? β
Jin Junmei immediately refused, she didn't want to be a mummy again.
But just as she was talking to Kekexi, she found that there were six or seven women dressed in fancy clothes and shirtless clothes sitting in the lobby, ordering drinks as if they were waiting for someone.
Jin Junmei felt that these women were a little familiar, so she asked Kekexi: "What are they?" β
Ke Kexi said: "Ah Jun's employer, the case on Rouge Street, is here to settle the bill, Ah Jun is not here, they are waiting here." β
Jin Junmei deliberately said: "Oh, I listened to the news, Ah Jun is earning this time, and the news says that Zhuang Tian Xingzhi died in a traffic accident." β
Kekexi smiled: "No, the steel city-state is a good face, if you want to say that the second son of the first consul of the city-state was judged by the ultimate because he tortured and killed a Bichi, the face can't be justified." β
It seems that Ke Kexi knows a lot of things, but when she was about to ask again, the counter called Ke Kexi to help, Jin Junmei had to go back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, and when she went downstairs to eat, she happened to see Ah Jun sitting surrounded by those women, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, only to see one of the women handing him a makeup box with both hands, and Ah Jun actually refused several times with a serious expression, and finally reluctantly accepted it.
The women were very happy to see Ke Junxia accept the box, as if they had completed something important, and they got up to say goodbye, but after that, for Jin Junmei, it was a bit unbearable, the first few women kissed Ah Jun on the cheek before leaving, which was reasonable, but a fat woman suddenly grabbed Ah Jun's hand and rubbed it on her chest, causing everyone to laugh, and she herself laughed.
Jin Junmei couldn't stand it, and turned her face around, until she heard the doorbell ring, and she was sure that this group of unscrupulous women had gone out, and she didn't turn around.
I saw that Ah Jun was still sitting there, holding the makeup box in both hands, but his expression was unexpectedly serious, Jin Junmei knew him for the past two days, and it was the first time he had seen him have this expression.
At this time, the vegetable chowder ordered by Jin Junmei came, she took the tray, moved it to the opposite side of Ah Jun, and put the plate on the table.
Ah Jun seemed to have woken up at this time, and said with a smile: "I only ate so late." β
Jin Junmei poked the food with a spoon and said, "You just saw me now, no wonder, I'm in the flowers." β
Ah Jun smiled and said, "I know that you have a good background, but your background is not something you can choose, at least this time, they are worthy of respect." β
"Cut." Jin Junmei said disdainfully, "Of course for you, there is a lot of oil and water." β
Ah Jun knew everything that had just happened, and Jin Junmei saw it, so he didn't explain anymore, but straightened the makeup box and said to Jin Junmei, "Do you know what's in here?" β
Since those women handed over the box to Ah Jun so solemnly just now, it was obviously not an ordinary cosmetics, but Jin Junmei still deliberately said, "It's your reward...... But...... You can do it with rouge as a reward. β
Ah Jun smiled, stroked the gaudy pattern on the surface of the box with a very tolerant look, and said, "It's my reward, but this kind of reward has another name, it's called Blood Alliance." β
"Blood Pact?" This Jin Junmei really doesn't understand.
Ah Jun continued to explain: "The emergence of the Blood Alliance can be regarded as a long history, but every day a new Blood Alliance appears, and a new Blood Alliance dies, and this Blood Alliance I received is called the Sisterhood. β
Although Jin Junmei didn't know what was going on, she also understood a little when she heard about the sisterhood, it was nothing more than a loose organization formed by some women at the bottom of society for mutual assistance.
Ah Jun opened the box, and inside was a small piece of gold bar and two silver bars, there was no sign on the gold and silver bars, most of them belonged to self-melting forging, very rough, and the total value should be less than 50,000.
Ah Jun took out a silver bar, stroked it and played with it, and said: "Those women beg for a living in the metropolis, and in this era of drunkenness and vanity, sometimes they encounter some bad things, so they must let others know, and there is a price to pay for hurting them, so they establish blood alliances, donate jewelry, and once a sister is harmed, they smelt these jewelry as a reward to find bounty hunters or killers to help them take revenge." This time they found me. β
Jin Junmei said: "I think they are looking for the wrong person, Zhuang Tian Xingzhi died in a traffic accident, don't you feel ashamed to accept these things?" β
Ah Jun said very detachedly: "Traffic accidents are very good, as long as everyone can accept it." β
Jin Junmei was about to speak, but Ah Jun waved his hand first to greet Xixike: "Call Granny Feng." β
Before Xixi could move, Feng Daniu didn't know where to come out, snatched a silver bar from Ah Jun's hand, weighed it in his hand and smiled: "Very good, although the smelting is rough, it is pure silver." As he spoke, he took another silver bar and weighed it and said, "Well, this piece is a little lighter, but half a year's rent plus late fees and food expenses are barely enough - in fact, you are not cash, and I am still a little at a loss if I exchange it." As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the small gold bar again.
Ah Jun didn't wait for her to do anything, so he took the initiative to pick it up and put it in Feng Daniu's hand and said, "Help me exchange it, remove your commission, and give me the rest of the whole thing, I have to use the money these days." β
"People have to use money at any time, and money is connected to money." Feng Daniu smiled and said, "Then you talk, I'll go first." As he spoke, he hummed a minor tune and walked away satisfied.
just started a sum of money, just like this, and it was gone, Jin Junmei understood why Ah Jun's life was so poor, this has never been a fine account, judging from the expression of the wind girl, it is obvious that she has taken a lot of advantage.
Although Ah Jun became a passing god of wealth, he also got a few debts, and his mood improved, and while he continued to explore in the box, he seemed to be talking to himself: "I don't know why, I always feel that I used to be the landlord of the wind girl." β
Jin Junmei almost sprayed rice when he said this: With your waste wood appearance, how can you be the landlord of a big girl?
Sure enough, there was something in the box, and Ah Jun took out a beautiful paper bag from the box, opened it, and pulled out a thin piece of paper, like a quadripartite stamp, but the total area was only the size of an ordinary stamp.
Ah Jun smiled, happier than when he saw Jin Yin smiling just now.
"I didn't expect them to give me this, I can really come whatever I want."
Jin Junmei saw that although the piece of paper was small, the painting on it was very exquisite, so he asked, "What?" Microscopic painting? "If it's made by a famous artist, this little piece of paper is also valuable.
Ah Jun shook his head, carefully picked up the piece of paper with the small tweezers distributed in the paper bag and put it very close to Jin Junmei's eyes and said: "This is the Heaven Quartet, if each piece is sold separately, if it is genuine, it is worth at least one gold coin." β
"This is heaven!" Jin Jun's eyebrows widened in shock, it was not the appearance of drugs in his imagination at all, it was so exquisite and exquisite, it was simply a microscopic work of art.
