Chapter Twenty-Four: Pawnshop No. 8
"On the 14th of last month, the bureau caught two tomb robbers." Zhang Liguo sat aside with his teeth bared, asked me for a cigarette and smoked, and shook his head: "The gang committed the crime, most of the people ran away, and these two grandsons were a little unlucky and were arrested." ”
According to Zhang Liguo, the identities of the two tomb robbers are different, one is a "handle" guy, and the other is a leader.
They were also unlucky, the tools were ready, and they were reported by the public before they could do it, and they were arrested by the police in a small hotel.
After interrogation, there is not much news about this so-called guy's knowledge of the Tao at all, he should have just entered the industry, and the leader confessed a lot of important clues.
This tomb robbery gang has a clear hierarchy, and the organization is extremely secretive, not only in the southwest, but also in Beijing, where the Son of Heaven is at his feet, let them rob a lot of tombs.
Their gang is called No. 8 Pawnshop, and the top boss is the old man wearing a rabbit mask before, and under this old man there are eight big shopkeepers, each of whom has four or five bosses who "watch the work", and these leaders are responsible for the trivial chores of tomb robbing, and the shopkeeper never comes forward.
The arrested leader is named Li Shi, a middle-aged man in his forties, and the shopkeeper he follows is the eighth shopkeeper of the No. 8 pawnshop, the God of Wealth.
"According to this Li Shi's explanation, their eight shopkeepers came to Guiyang at the beginning of last month." Zhang Liguo frowned: "It seems to be for a tomb in the Qin and Han dynasties, but Li Shi doesn't know where the specific location of the Ludao cemetery is, and they will only give the specific location of the shopkeeper the day before they start." ”
Originally, Li Shi was not qualified to know the Lafayette of Lu Dao, but Li Shi did not expect that the Guiyang party of the eight shopkeepers would come with Lafayette in person.
According to these tomb robbers, the most mysterious person in the Eight pawnshop is Lafayette.
"Li Shi said that Lafayette basically does not show up, most of the time he hides behind the scenes, and rarely shows up in front of people." Zhang Liguo said to me: "Even if he shows up, he is wearing a rabbit mask, many people in the No. 8 pawnshop know the person of Lafayette, but there are really few people who have seen Lafayette in person, and many people have passed it on, and there are only eight shopkeepers who have seen the true face of Lafayette." ”
"Ouch, it's kind of mysterious." I grinned.
Zhang Liguo sighed: "If I knew that this Lafayette was coming to you, I would have ambushed him here a long time ago, how much trouble can we save by catching this old grandson?" ”
"What else did the boss confess?" I asked curiously.
"I'll just explain the details of the usual tomb robbery." Zhang Liguo shook his head: "That grandson is timid, and he was recruited as soon as he was scared by the police, but"
Zhang Liguo paused and said in a low voice: "They came to Guiyang to drive their own car, Li Shi drove an ordinary van, the God of Wealth and Lafayette sat behind him, in the car, these two big brothers seemed to be muttering something all the time, but Li Shi didn't hear it clearly, only later, they seemed to be a little excited, and Li Shi vaguely heard a few inexplicable conversations. ”
"Galeries Lafayette said that thing has not been unearthed yet, we must find it." Zhang Liguo recounted to me: "Then the God of Wealth replied to him, Buddha, we have been looking for seven or eight years, and that thing is not in two words." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liguo spread his hands to me helplessly: "Li Shi heard this, and the rest didn't hear clearly, as if Lafayette found that his voice was loud, and the rest of the words were said in a low voice." ”
I smoked a cigarette with an ugly face and beat a drum in my heart.
It seems that this gang is quite awesome, I offended the old grandson today, will he call a hundred people to hack me to death tomorrow, even if he doesn't know, it is not impossible for him to burn down the wreath shop while it is dark!
Seeing that my face turned dark, Zhang Liguo should have guessed what I was thinking, and patted me on the shoulder: "It's okay, as long as you don't commit a crime, the country will protect you, and I will arrange for someone to come over to protect you when I go back, and by the way, let them be the eyeliner, and it is best to capture Lafayette in one fell swoop." ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "Seriously, it's pure luck that I can beat Lafayette today, if I play Yin, I can't play him." ”
"I'll arrange for someone to take Luo Dahai's body away, go back and make a report to the boss, and then issue a wanted warrant, I'll see where these grandsons are going!" Zhang Liguo laughed ruthlessly, and Zhou Yan also echoed on the side: "Yes, no matter how awesome they are, dare to fight with the country?" ”
I nodded and didn't speak.
Since ancient times, there has been a reason for bandits to fight against officials, and if the wanted warrant really comes down, I estimate that Lafayette will have to stop for a while, at least he will not dare to continue to be arrogant and open.
"Luo Dahai, come back." I went into the back room, took out a handful of tribute incense, lit it and shook it a few times on the face of Luo Dahai's corpse, then picked up a mineral water bottle in the corner, opened the lid and inserted the tribute incense into it.
Suddenly I remembered something, my face changed, I rushed into the back room and took out the incense burner, looked left and right, I went to the wooden table in the hall and sat down, poured the ashes from the incense burner on the table, scratched the ashes on the incense ashes with my fingers a few times, and then slapped the table heavily.
"The sky is firm, the earth is firm, and the bitter lord is dead and resentful."
"If your wish is not fulfilled, you can't cross it, who wants to be a lonely soul and a wild ghost."
"Mr. Fourth, please Wang Xuesoul, come back quickly and complain."
I slammed the table, my eyes almost popping out, and the anxiety in my heart was indescribable.
Wang Xue rushed to Lafayette's body without success, it seemed that he was stopped by Lafayette, and after the failure, Wang Xue was completely silent, as if he had disappeared.
I didn't think so much at the time, but now, is it possible that Wang Xue was distracted by Lafayette?!
"Please sit here."
"Second, please invite the soul to this hall."
"Three times, please go back to the old place."
"Fourth, please Wang Xue, three souls and seven spirits come quickly~~~"
I shouted anxiously, the sound of banging on the table getting louder and louder, and my hands were already slightly red and swollen.
Zhang Liguo and Zhou Yan looked at me from the side, with worry in their eyes, but no one dared to come over to interrupt.
I shouted the conjuring words over and over again, shouting for more than half an hour, and even my hands were swollen, but Wang Xue was still not recruited by me
"Damn!!" I scolded with an iron face, and seeing that the incense ash on the table was still the same, I gritted my teeth and subconsciously slapped myself in the face.
asked Wang Xue to help me, but she was beaten by the old man, and I was fine.
The soul is scattered is equivalent to a complete disappearance, this kind of ending is more tragic than the death of the living, you must know the Tao, the soul is scattered, but you can't be reincarnated!
I gritted my teeth and continued to shout the conjuring words, and the hope in my heart at this time was perhaps the most gloomy hope.
"The sky is firm, the earth is firm, and the bitter lord is dead and resentful."
"If your wish is not fulfilled, you can't cross it, who wants to be a lonely soul and a wild ghost."
"Mr. Fourth, please Wang Xuesoul, come back quickly and complain."
"Please sit here."
"Second, please invite the soul to this hall."
"Three times, please go back to the old place."
"Fourth, please Wang Xue, three souls and seven spirits come quickly~~~"
Before I knew it, my eyes were already bloodshot, and my eyes were staring at the table.
What the hell are you going to give a reply!! Don't make me anxious here!!
As time passed, the hope in my heart began to fade, until I was almost hopeless.
It's been an hour and there is still no response, maybe Wang Xue is really
"Bang."
At this moment, an extremely faint muffled sound came from the table.
I followed the sound and looked over, and a woman's handprint had already appeared on the incense ash that covered the table, and the handprint was very shallow, as if the person who was patting the table had no strength to do so
Seeing the handprint appear, my body trembled, and I looked at the handprint in a daze for a while before I came back to my senses.
Without waiting for Zhou Yan and the others to react, I turned around and ran to the back room, and after pouring out two ordinary jade pieces from the cabinet, I returned to the hall, picked up the mineral water bottle with the incense, and put it on the table.
"Come on in." I slapped the table and shook the mineral water bottle again.
As soon as I said this, the jade piece I placed in the palm of my hand suddenly trembled, and a cold feeling emanated from the surface of the jade piece in an instant.
That's when I breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Xue's soul is not gone, but she still suffered a lot of trauma and needs to recuperate for a period of time before she can recover.
The jade piece is already yin, and it would be better to give it to Luo Dahai and Wang Xue to recuperate.
"Uncle Zhang, Wang Xue is a vain ghost, it is estimated that she was killed." I turned to Zhang Liguo and said, "Can you help find out if this case is successful?" She blames the poor too. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Liguo nodded without hesitation: "No problem, I'll call someone to check for you when I go back, and I will notify you as soon as there is progress." ”
I nodded and thanked, "Trouble Uncle Zhang." ”
An hour later, under Zhang Liguo's arrangement, several police cars drove in from the street, and all the police officers in civilian clothes were sitting in the cars.
They were also stunned when they entered the wreath shop, and it is estimated that these policemen couldn't figure out what kind of corpse Captain Zhang asked him to carry.
Although he was puzzled, no one dared to ask more under Zhang Liguo's death order, so he could only stuff the corpse into the trunk with a puzzled face, pull it to the city bureau in a puff of smoke, and put the corpse back where it should be.
After transporting the corpse away, Zhang Liguo and Zhou Yan didn't stay here for long, and mercilessly abandoned me in the wreath shop.
I'm lonely enough, and I haven't eaten yet, and these two stinky and shameless people don't know how to sympathize with me, and invite me to have a good meal.
I scolded them with my mouth and swept the floor with a broom, and the expression on my face was a resentment.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Just as I was scolding, there was a knock on the side door, and I was immediately startled, and my legs and stomachs were facing forward.
Could it be that the old brute is back?! Oh yes! I haven't had time to prepare yet!
Just as I was about to run to the back room, I heard a familiar shout from outside the side door, and I stiffened, and the corners of my mouth twitched and walked to the side door, opening the door for the people outside.
"Hehe, you're running pretty fast today." Zhou Yujia looked at me with a smile, picked up the plastic bag in his hand and shook it in front of my eyes: "I bought you a supper, do you want to eat it?" ”
"I don't want to." I replied, and when I saw the evil smile on her face, I knew that this girl was definitely not at ease.
Although I refused, my stomach screamed angrily, and I unceremoniously dismantled my table.
"My brother said it, why are you still hiding it from me?" Zhou Yujia pouted unhappily, rolled his eyes, and lowered his head pretending to be aggrieved: "Our relationship is so good, you must hate me if you hide anything from me."
"I hate a fart, you come in first." I shook my head helplessly, Zhou Yan's grandson has been scolded by me hundreds of times in my heart, why is your uncle's tone so unstrict?
After thinking about it, I can hide it from Zhou Yujia for a while, but I can't hide it from her for the rest of my life.
Judging by her perseverance, I will one day be defeated at her hands.
It's better to say it late than to say it early, and if you say it now, you can avoid the dilemma of being often asked by her, so why not?
"You're a Zhou Yan." I couldn't help muttering, Zhou Yujia didn't hear clearly, and asked me, "Brother Yi, what did you just say?" ”
"I'm sighing, oops, how Yujia has become pretty again recently." I said with a dry laugh.
Hearing this, Zhou Yujia smiled embarrassedly, and then asked me, "Is it really beautiful?" ”
I took a closer look at her.
Zhou Yujia's height is about 1.63 meters, his figure is not fat or thin, his facial features are delicate and cute, and his apricot eyes are always watery.
At this time, she was wearing a khaki dress, which successfully highlighted her figure, and her feet were wearing a pair of white canvas shoes, and the whole person looked like the type of girl next door.
I did the math using a formula taught to me by a classmate in college.
Zhou Yujia has big eyes + melon seed face + height of more than 1.6 meters + not fat or thin + cute appearance + what is well developed = ninety points.
"Inevitably." I nodded, "It's beautiful." ”
