Follow the memory, and come to the old arcade street again.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Pei Zhe knocked on the wooden door a few times and found that no one had opened it.

Looking up, it was quiet, and there were no neighbors.

This neighborhood is almost in an urban village, dirty and messy, and there are many vegetable patches behind the building.

If more than ten years pass, everyone will be a demolition household.

No one responded, so he had to go home.

Just as he was about to turn around, the wooden door creaked and opened a crack.

"Your name is Brother Pei Zhe, right?"

In the crack of the door, a small face poked out, it was the little girl named Lu Hongying.

Her eyes were red, and she had clearly cried.

"Brother Pei Zhe, help us ......" Lu Hongying suddenly brought rain and fell.

Pei Zhe saw this situation and understood that something should have happened.

He squatted down and comforted him carefully: "Yes, my name is Pei Zhe, you tell me what happened first, and then I'll see if I can help you." ”

The two entered the building, and Lu Hongying intermittently told what happened.

It turned out that after the death of their parents, Lu Honglang, as the elder brother, provoked the pillar of the family and began to make pirated game cartridges and sell them privately.

Their parents were in this business, and the two of them learned this craft by hearing and seeing it, and being extremely talented.

Lu Honglang used the whiteboard cassette left by his parents to start making pirated games, but he couldn't sell them at all because he had no sales channels and his face was immature.

As a last resort, he could only go to the door of the game hall to peddle, which was also the scene Pei Zhe had encountered before.

However, this undoubtedly touched the cake of the arcade field.

You know, although the red and white machine is expensive these days, it is enough to have one, but the cassette is different, and each game requires a box of cassette.

And each box of cassettes costs one or two hundred, the average student really can't afford to buy too much, many children save half a year of pocket money, just buy a favorite cassette as they wish.

On the contrary, the game hall is full of games, and there are various classmates and playmates, which is naturally more popular.

At this time, although there were pirated copies on the market, there were still very few because the technology was not good and the cost was too high.

Piracy is far less profitable than parallel trading.

Because, since you can go through parallel goods, why bother to go for semi-finished whiteboard cards.

The reason why Lu Honglang's parents were able to do it was because they cut corners, had no protective shell, and used the cheapest whiteboard card, which was equivalent to the beggar's version of the beggar's version.

Lu Hongying whimpered and said: "My brother went out to sell cassettes the day before yesterday and never came back, he used to come back on time every day......"

In other words, Lu Honglang has been missing for two days.

Pei Zhe comforted: "Xiao Ying'er, don't worry, you stay at home well, don't go anywhere, I'll help you find your brother." ”

After settling Lu Hongying, Pei Zhe left quickly.

It's not complicated.

touched the interests of the game hall, Lu Honglang should have been detained by the big man in the game hall last time.

Or the horses in other game halls to watch the field.

Pei Zhe thought about it, made a phone call first, and then went to the Gangding business district.

……

Fat Cat Ridge, Chinese Language and Culture College.

Hu Yingquan stared at the foreign girls on the stage dancing ballet, twisting around, the waist was full of hands, the skin was deceiving the frost and snow, every movement was so charming.

Suddenly, the BB machine in his trouser pocket vibrated and a pleasant sound was heard.

Hu Yingquan was displeased, but still took out Motorola's BB machine in the envious eyes of the surroundings.

The little fat man pretended to be pretending to be pretending to be pretty, and glanced at the message on the BB machine at random.

Hu Yingquan was immediately overjoyed, then explained to others and left in a hurry.

He didn't know what Pei Zhe had encountered and how much money it would cost to solve, but this was the first time that Brother Zhe had something to ask for, and he had to do it beautifully.

He quickly went to the bank, and then hurried to the Tianlong Game Hall.

There are large and small game halls on the top of the gang, no less than 20.

It's not good to call the police, Pei Zhe can only roughly guess which game hall Lu Honglang is the person who detained him.

One is that there are more students, because these are the basic people who buy pirated cartridges, and the other is that there are horses who watch the scene.

He'd already turned around a few game halls, and he hadn't found much.

Outside the Tianlong Game Hall.

Pei Zhe flicked the cigarette ash and saw the little fat man coming down from the taxi.

Hu Yingquan hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhe, what happened?" ”

"It's okay, did you bring the money?"

"Bring it, I don't know how much you need, I withdrew five thousand yuan from the bank."

Hu Yingquan responded with a smile and took out a wad of money from his pocket.

"Thanks, the money will be paid back to you in a while."

Pei Zhe patted the little fat man on the shoulder and said, "I'll go settle things, you go back first." ”

"Brother Zhe is too outward, your business is my business, do you really want me to help? My dad always told me to get along with you. Hu Yingquan said enthusiastically.

"No, I can do it alone."

Pei Zhe waved his hand and walked into the Tianlong game hall alone.

Hu Yingquan looked at his back and muttered: "What Dad said is really right, ruthless people are different, Brother Xiao Ma comes with background music when he appears, and Brother Zhe is just short of a windbreaker......"

In the hall, there are rows of large-screen arcade machines, and groups of young students shout around the machines, queuing up to get on the machines.

Street Fighter, Devouring the World, and Dinosaur Kombat are some of the most popular arcade games out there.

At the counter, a woman is busy with the cashier, and there is a small coffee table not far away, and three big men are drinking tea and chatting, and they will go to the arcade hall from time to time.

Pei Zhe walked straight to the coffee table, "I'm not here to find trouble." ”

He looked at one of the men and said clearly: "Do you remember me, last time you were outside, you chased me and a postnatal boy a few streets, and now the offspring boy is missing." ”

The man had a fierce face and crooked tattoos on his thick arms, and he glanced up and said, "This has nothing to do with us, you have to find it elsewhere." ”

Pei Zhe nodded, counted out ten hundred-yuan bills, put them on the coffee table, and said, "This money should be used to drink tea for a few big brothers, and tell me where to find it." ”

The man grinned, "The young man is very neat and neat, I will accept the money, you go to the brilliant side and ask yourself." ”

"Thank you."

Pei Zhe turned around and left the arcade hall.

At the coffee table, one of them asked curiously: "Who is this person, who is so generous?" ”

Another person said leisurely: "Maybe it's a second generation, or a river dragon." ”

You must know that these people are not too much to lick blood from the knife, and it is only a thousand yuan a month.

Pei Zhe's figure, they thought he was a fellow practitioner.

The fierce man said: "None of this is important, the important thing is that the other party will be a man, just don't cause trouble in our territory." ”

……

Pei Zhe came to the brilliant game hall.

He found the head of the horse boy again and said directly: "I'm here to settle the matter, the day before yesterday, a young man was selling pirated cassettes at your place, and you caught him." ”

Huang Mao on the other side glanced at it and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"He's my brother."

"Okay, come with me." Huang Mao sneered.

Not long after, several people came to a small dim room upstairs, and there was a young man sitting on the ground, it was Lu Honglang.

His clothes were torn a few times, he looked sloppy, his face was also stained with blood, and his breath was dying and fierce, glaring at the people in front of him.

Huang Mao spread his hands, "This kid is not once or twice, I warned him last time, and I dared to come the day before yesterday, and we can't ......"

Pei Zhe stepped forward to check and found that Lu Honglang's body was covered with skin injuries, indicating that this group of gangsters knew the severity of their attack.

As for the malaise, it is estimated that he is hungry.

"You have beaten and beaten people, and you have taught him a lesson, so that you will not kill him."

Pei Zhe handed a cigarette to the other party and said, "Make a price, how much can this matter be over?" ”

Huang Mao was slightly surprised, he didn't expect this person to be so simple.

The other party was telling the truth, in fact, he had planned to release the person today.

Now that there was an unexpected joy, he pretended to groan for a while, and said, "Since you are so sensible, give two thousand yuan, and treat it as the hard work of the brothers, and this matter will end here." ”

Pei Zhe didn't say a word, and immediately counted out two thousand yuan and handed it to the other party.

Supporting Lu Honglang to leave the Brilliant Game Hall, Pei Zhe called a taxi and went to the nearest clinic.

In the car, Lu Honglang still shouted arrogantly: "Brother Zhe, why do you give them money, I don't believe they dare to kill me!" ”

"What if they really dare? What will happen to your sister then? ”

Pei Zhe asked calmly.

He doesn't care about thousands of dollars, what he cares about is people, and his money-making plan needs a knowledgeable person.

Sure enough, hearing his sister, Lu Honglang was silent for a moment.

"Go to the clinic first to check if it has been damaged, and then hurry home, Xiaoying is very worried about you." Pei Zhe commanded in an unquestioning tone.

Thinking that his sister was worried about himself for two days, Lu Honglang couldn't help but regret in his heart, hating that he didn't act like a good brother.

The doctor at the clinic bandaged Lu Honglang's wound and examined it again, but it was fine.

Back to the arcade.

Lu Hongying cried so much that she hugged his brother and didn't want to let go.

"Xiaoying, it hurts ......"

Lu Honglang "hissed" and took a deep breath, and the freshly bandaged wound was broken by his sister again.

Lu Hongying suddenly panicked, and hurriedly apologized, "Brother, I'm sorry......"

When Pei Zhe saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh.

He left a thousand yuan and said, "You take care of your injuries at home first, and I'll find you to do something after the National Day." ”

"Good!"

Lu Honglang nodded deeply and didn't ask anything.

He was locked up in a hut for dozens of hours, hungry and in pain.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a sturdy young man took out a stack of money and rescued him in a few words.

This kind of impact, just like that person is omnipotent, and at that moment, he even gave birth to a sense of worship.

The hemp rope is broken in detail, and the bad luck only entangles the hard-working people, and the parents suddenly have an accident, and their brothers and sisters have exhausted their distant relatives and neighbors, and they have also suffered from the white eyes, and they know the warmth and coldness of human feelings.

For more than half a year, no one cared about the feelings of their brother and sister.

Now, suddenly there is a big brother who has only one side of the relationship, and he is willing to help them.

This feeling suddenly made him both sad and grateful.
