"It's not hard! It's not hard! The chief is hard! Forehead... Who is this? ”

Xiao Zhao saw that there was another person in the car, this police officer looked a little older, and there was a faint feeling of vicissitudes on his face, he was sure that this person was not a police officer in their serious crime section, and he was a little curious at the moment.

Liu Tingyu said, "This is Inspector Liao, who has just been transferred to the Serious Crime Unit of our substation from the West Kowloon Police Station. ”

"Wow! Senior Inspector? That's not the same rank as Liu Sir, you're in the same rank! Xiao Zhao wanted to contact the relationship first, and he could have one more backer in the future.

"Get out of the car, let's go see what this old man knows!"

Liu Tingyu led the police officers who came one after another to the pawnshop.

Xiao Zhao stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Is there anyone inside?" We're the police, hurry up and open the door! ”

After a few knocks, the shutter door was half opened, and the shopkeeper poked his head out of it, looked at the policemen around the door with a complicated face, and asked: "You are so excited to slam the door, I don't know which law the old man has committed?" ”

When Xiao Zhao was about to "bully others", Liu Tingyu took the lead and said: "We are from the Serious Crime Action Group, and now there is a homicide case that requires your cooperation to provide some clues, please come with us to the police station!" ”

"Oh! Then I'll go get something first, you guys wait a minute! ”

The shopkeeper turned around and walked back very cooperatively, Liu Tingyu was worried that he would make some small moves, so he glanced at Xiao Zhao and motioned him to follow up.

As soon as Xiao Zhao entered the door, he saw the shopkeeper take out a pair of reading glasses from the cabinet in the drawer, and then smiled to himself, "The old man is old, his old eyes are dizzy, and he can't see anything without this mirror!" ”

"It's okay, is there anything else? If not, come back to the police station with us! ”

Xiao Zhao thought of his attitude then and now, instead of giving birth to a trace of the virtue of respecting the elderly, he was greatly despised in his heart, this old thing, he had squatted in vain for so many days, and he really didn't cry when he saw the coffin.

After the shopkeeper came out, he was about to lock the roller shutter door again, but Xiao Zhao was lying inside and had no intention of coming out.

He knew that the police were going to search his shop, so he stood at the door and sighed secretly.

Liu Tingyu smiled: "Old man, don't think about it, just go to the police station to record a confession, and I will send someone to watch it for you, there will never be one thing missing!" ”

The shopkeeper just smiled bitterly, and no longer spoke, after sending him to the police car, Liu Tingyu did not sit in it together, but whispered a few words to Liao Wei, who was driving, and asked him to take the shopkeeper back to record a confession first, and he stayed to search the pawnshop.

Not long after Liu Tingyu left, Xiao Zhao accidentally knocked down a thing, he heard the sound and looked, only to see a crutch erected on the inside of the cabinet, blinked, the sound just now was obviously made by the crutch falling on the ground, but now the crutch is standing in it?

He didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to study the strange and strange things in the pawnshop.

At the police station, Liao Wei was recording a confession in the closed interrogation room, and the situation in the interrogation room could be seen through the one-way perspective glass, which was a table and two chairs, and there were surveillance equipment at all angles.

The shopkeeper sat on one of the chairs, and no matter how Liao Wei asked, he sat there without saying a word.

Liu Tingyu saw that the situation inside was not very optimistic, so she asked the police: "How is it, did he explain anything?" ”

The police officer shook his head and said: "The immigration bureau has checked his identity, he is not a local Hong Kong resident, he only entered Hong Kong with an Indonesian visa in 1998 and settled in Hong Kong, and he has always kept to himself, and he has no bad criminal record!" ”

"Open the door, I'll meet him myself!"

The police opened the closed door, Liu Tingyu calmly walked into the interrogation room, sat down next to Liao Wei, and glanced at the notebook out of the corner of his eye, seeing that there were only a few inconsequential basic information of resident citizens on it, and the rest was blank.

Liao Wei gently tapped the table with a pen and whispered in Liu Tingyu's ear: "The time you rushed back was just right, and he refused to say anything!" ”

Although Liao Wei's voice was already very low, he was still heard by the shopkeeper, and he said very dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you ask the old man to cooperate with the investigation?" How is it the same as a torture prisoner! ”

Liu Tingyu's face was straight, and he said straight to the point: "You are indeed invited to investigate a case!" ”

She handed over the photo of the red high heels, and while observing the shopkeeper's reaction, she said, "I asked you last time, how much do you know about the evidence in the photo!" ”

The shopkeeper didn't even look at the photo, and said affirmatively to Liu Tingyu: "The old man has never seen the shoes in the photo, and I don't understand what you're talking about!" ”

"Oh? That's really weird, there are so many shops on Kai Ming Street, why do you want to take down the Guangji Craft Workshop where there has been a murder? ”

"Don't you want to say yes?"

Liu Tingyu was not in a hurry to take back the photo: "I found something very interesting in your pawnshop just now, you should know the crime of collecting and selling dirty." ”

In fact, Liu Tingyu is not clear about the origin of those pawn items, and similarly, the shopkeeper is not very clear whether those items are dirty or not. It's been so long, and I don't have to hide anything from him anymore! ”

Liao Wei saw that he had shown signs of relenting, so he turned a page of the notebook again, and began to record it rustling in the deep words of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's original name was Chu Renqing, who was originally a descendant of Chinese who migrated from southern China to Indonesia in the past hundreds of years, he and his brother Chu Rengui had been running ships with their father in the South China Sea since they were young to do business, because many Southeast Asian countries were rampant pirates at that time, his father did not want the two brothers to live a worried life, so he let Chu Rengui learn to do leather crafts, and he also had a skill to settle down.

Chu Renqing has a soft spot for antique jade, one of the two brothers is in business, the other is in crafts, but they also made some windfalls in those years.

Until 1998, under the political turmoil in Indonesia, the two fled to Hong Kong with the little money they had left.

In the process of escaping, the two brothers accidentally got acquainted with a Nanyang master who knew evil arts, he was chased and killed by the enemy because of his personal vendetta, and he was also down, and the three of them hit it off at first sight, and got a hangover.

When they parted the next day, the brothers gave half of the little money they had to the head descender as a gift of practice, and the head descender was deeply moved, but he had no long things, so he passed on his own self-created evil art to the two as a gift of return.

It is said that if this evil art is cultivated, it can lead to eternal life, but the cultivation method is very vicious, using the resentment of the person who died in vain to lower his head, and this self-inflicted curse and resentment will follow the person for the rest of his life until death.

When the giver is exhausted, the resentment of the person who died in vain will attach to a certain medium, forming an endless curse, and the giver will be cursed after death, and the soul will be immortal and immortal, so as to achieve a certain sense of eternal life.

After the two brothers settled in Hong Kong, they began to busy their respective careers, Chu Rengui focused on leather craftsmanship, and Chu Renqing's antique business was also thriving.

But as he got older and older, Chu Rengui knew that the limit was approaching, his body was not as good as day by day, and he attached more and more importance to the matter of the past life, and finally made up his mind to move evil thoughts before he died, and began to practice this vicious evil art.

When Chu Renqing learned that his brother had secretly kidnapped the girl from the dance academy, he realized that he was entering an evil path, and he failed to call him back after several persuasions, but out of brotherhood, he couldn't bear to expose the matter, so he could only watch him make mistakes again and again, and finally never looked back.

But about the so-called eternal curse, Chu Renqing is still convinced, one day he dreamed in a dream that Chu Rengui was burned by fire, and the next day he learned that there was a fire at the West Kowloon Police Station, he guessed that it must be related to the curse.

At that time, the shop had been idle for many days, and although the seal had been removed, no one had taken over because of the murder, so he secretly went to the shop to worship, hoping to appease the resentment of Chu Rengui, but found the pair of red dancing shoes in the shop.

Chu Renqing also knew that the pair of leather dancing shoes was an ominous thing, and had become a medium for attachment to resentment, which was very terrible, for this reason, he asked the master to hope that there was any way to suppress the grudge, and the master told him that this thing was extremely treacherous, and if it was not handled properly, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the only way was to seal it to prevent it from continuing to harm people.
