That was the end of that conversation.

Naturally, I still have a lot of questions in my heart—many of them become more and more apparent as I talk to Luo Xing, but Luo Xing doesn't want to talk more about it after recounting his strange dream.

I think his mental state is really very poor, so he no longer insists.

Luo Xing's current state is that he can't go back to his home - he was imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital, I don't have to guess, and I know that Lao Dao must not be a regular doorway to bring him out - then, how to settle Luo Xing now is a big problem.

But I don't have to worry about this matter, Lao Dao does this thing, and he is much more professional than me.

Before becoming a private detective, Lao Dao had been a policeman for more than 20 years, and his position was not low, so among the black and white, three religions and nine streams, Lao Dao also had a small influence. Otherwise, he would not have been able to bring Luo Xing, a suspect who was still in the sight of the police station, out of the psychiatric hospital.

At that moment, the old knife took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After the call, Lao Dao nodded to us and signaled that the matter was done.

I'm renting two floors in this building. The first floor is a storefront, which houses my "Ji Kee" grocery store, the second floor is a two-bedroom suite, the living room has been converted into an office by me, and the other two rooms, one is the bedroom where I sleep and rest, and the other is my work room and study. I opened up the two floors and installed a spiral staircase.

Seeing that Lao Dao had been arranged, I led Luo Xing and Lao Dao through the spiral staircase to the first floor, and I asked him to sit down for a while, and I went to open the door of the grocery store.

As I explained earlier, opening this grocery store was originally a side hustle for me, first, to hide secrets, and secondly, to relieve boredom, but I didn't expect this grocery store to make much money.

In fact, my shop has indeed lost money for many years, and there are roughly three reasons for this: the first point, I am lazy by nature, people's small shops, open before dawn, and close after three watches at night, what about my shop, I can only see the shopkeeper sleepily open the door of the store on three poles in the sun, and then engage in the east and west, and stay until the evening, lock the door, go to eat and play by myself, often in the middle of the night, there is no businessman at all; Second, my store is remote, about 30 square meters, and the things in the store are sold cheaply. Third, after all, this shop is just a side business, if my main business comes to the door, I will abandon the deputy subordinate - for example, just now Lao Dao brought Luo Xing to find me, I closed the grocery store on the first floor, and everyone went to my office on the second floor to sit down before we started to talk about business.

We sat in the shop on the first floor for about ten minutes, during which time there was also business: I sold a bottle of Coke, two "Zhenzhibang" lollipops, a box of thumbtacks, and a cashier of five yuan and five jiao.

After a while, Lao Dao's friend arrived.

The person who came was about twenty-five years old, shorts and vest flip-flops, a finger-thick gold necklace hanging from his neck, a moxican head, and a pair of super black on the bridge of his nose, plus a pair of flower arms (tattooed on an arm, called flower arms), this appearance is too dazzling, Luo Xing didn't know him, when he saw a gangster-like person coming into my shop, he thought he was here to collect protection money, and suddenly stood up from the stool, full of surprise.

The old knife sat next to Luo Xing, and when he saw this, he immediately pressed him back to the stool, frowned and said to the visitor: "Stinky fish, why did you come so slowly?" Why, if you are mixed up, my brother's words will not work? ”

The "stinky fish" in the mouth of the old knife is named Li Yi, and the real flower name is called "koi". The name of the stinky fish is only joking with a close friend like Lao Dao, or an old qualification on the road can be called, and people who are not clear shout indiscriminately, it will make a fuss.

"Ouch, Brother Dao, you wronged me!" Li Yi took off his sunglasses and complained, "There is some trouble in the field, the key is that there are a few bosses who often come to play and are not very pleasant, I have to say hello, right?" I'm already here at full speed! ”

This Li Yi's profession is to help the casino watch the market, and he is also well-known in the neighborhood for more than a dozen streets. At the beginning, when Lao Dao was still a policeman, he had not rectified this guy, but this kid was a self-acquaintance, coming and going, but he first called "Brother Dao" and "Brother Dao", and he was very respectful to Lao Dao.

Lao Dao saw that although this person was a gangster, he was not bad-hearted, and he had never done anything treacherous, so he simply accepted him as a half-undercover agent - the so-called "half-undercover" is because this kid is also righteous and evil, although he provided Lao Dao with a lot of top-secret information on the road, but he also used this as a threat, so that Lao Dao had to take care of him, and did a lot of things that turned a blind eye.

After Lao Dao withdrew from the police force, Li Yi stopped doing his "half undercover" work, and concentrated on watching the scene, but he was very righteous and angry, and he didn't add cold eyes because Lao Dao had no power in his hands, and still treated Lao Dao as a big brother respectfully.

"Brother Dao, dissipate your anger, smoke, smoke." Li Yi took out a pack of Great China, smiled and took out one and handed it to the old knife, and stepped forward to help the old knife light it.

The old knife took a deep breath, spit out a circle of smoke, then glanced at Li Yi, and said casually: "That field on West Street, if you can go less recently, you may have to be swept away, understand?" ”

Hearing what the old knife said, Li Yi was stunned, and then suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Fuck, why are they so kind to let me take care of the West Street alone, I thought I got a bargain, it turns out that these bastards have already gotten the news!" Brother Dao, if you hadn't told me now, I wouldn't have known how long I would have been tricked! Turtle son's! Sooner or later, call him good-looking! ”

After scolding, Li Yi handed me a cigarette again: "Brother Ji, smoke!" ”

"Call Brother Guang!" I took the cigarette and said angrily, "You always want to take advantage of me, don't you?" Next time you come across something unclean, don't think I'll help you. ”

"Brother Ji", it sounds like "Brother Chicken", I don't like this title very much, but Li Yi is a kid who likes to arrange spoofs.

Hearing me say this, Li Yi said twice, only laughed, but still didn't change his name. I secretly scolded this kid for being cunning, knowing that I was soft-hearted, if he was really in danger, how could a person like me not help?

Li Yi walked up to Luo Xing, also handed a cigarette, and asked with a smile: "What do you call this friend?" ”

"His surname is Luo." Lao Dao replied for Luo Xing and stood up, "The person who told you on the phone is him." You have a lot of roads, help me find a secluded house, arrange for him to live, remember, you must be safe. ”

Li Yi looked Luo Xing up and down, and looked at Luo Xing in the heart, but Li Yi suddenly patted Luo Xing's shoulder, and asked with a smile: "This Brother Luo, I can't see it!" I don't know, I thought you were a white-collar worker working in an office building. What did you do? ”

"What are you asking? Seeing that people's faces are tender, they pretend not to understand the rules? The old knife reprimanded Li Yi with a cold face, and then said to Luo Xing: "Mr. Luo, in a while, he will take you to a safe place, you can live in peace for a few days first." We've found out a little bit here, and we'll come to you. If you have anything, just look for stinky fish, and you don't have to be polite to him. ”

"Hehe, I'll do something, Brother Dao, don't worry." Li Yi responded to the old knife, and patted Luo Xing's chest again, "Brother Dao's friend is my friend Li Yi!" Relax and come to me for anything! In this piece, if you call out my koi name, everyone has to sell three points of face! ”

Lao Dao didn't care about Li Yi boasting over there, and continued: "Mr. Luo, these days, try not to contact your family and friends, and don't let people know the news of your discharge. If anything happens, you can contact me with the phone I gave you, the number I already have in the phone, it is a satellite phone, it is very safe. ”

Luo Xing nodded, "um".

Seeing that the old knife finished his instructions, Li Yi said goodbye to us, pulled Luo Xing away, and looked at his expression, when Luo Xing was settled, he must have gone to find Six Fingers and let out the evil anger of being framed.

When the two of them walked out of the alley, I also locked the door of the grocery store.

"What are we going to do next?" I put the keys in my trouser pocket and asked the old knife, "Are you going to the scene, or are you going to the parties?" ”

The old knife stood in the middle of the road, raised his hand and looked at his watch, spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, stepped on it, and walked towards the outside of the alley: "Let's go, I made an appointment with Meng Rong." ”
