Chapter 25: Not the End of the End
Chen Meng's name sounds very violent, but in fact, his behavior is a bit sissy, plus I don't know which straw bale I listened to, and I put an earring on my ear, which is more like a "sissy".
However, once he encountered an incident on the street, Chen Meng screamed loudly, always staring at people with round eyes, and roared at people:
"I'm afraid of chicken feathers, on. Beat him up and couldn't take care of himself. ”
In most cases, he can really calm the other party when he shouts like this. His reputation in the rivers and lakes was shouted by his voice in this way, and it didn't take long for the title of "Brother Meng" to spread in the streets and alleys.
In fact, "Brother Meng" is actually a timid person in essence. This time he inadvertently stabbed an old man with a knife, and he was more afraid than anyone else. On the way back, he couldn't stop shaking all over his body.
When Chen Meng returned to his residence that night, he was shocked, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so he borrowed some money from a few friends and ran away in advance. On the way to the station, he began to ponder every detail of the whole thing.
Thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong with the matter. At that time, he fought with the small steel cannon, although he had a knife in his hand, he actually did not intend to ask for the other party's life, and of course he did not dare to ask for the life of others at will. Therefore, every time he stabbed, he deliberately avoided the opponent's fatal parts.
The fact is also true, in a street fight, if you have a knife in your hand and do not care about the other party's life, then, a wild slash, the opponent will rarely miss the attack, and it is likely that the fight will end in a few seconds. can form a state of tug-of-war, in fact, the knife wielder maintains a minimum of rationality and does not dare to ask for the other party's life.
Chen Meng clearly remembered that the knife at that time was aimed at the thigh of the small steel cannon, and he was not in a hurry to castrate, and he didn't have any strength, but he just planned to let the other party see some blood, so he was easily blocked by the small steel cannon with a broken pot. And then just like that, it stabbed the old man. Moreover, before the tip of the knife reached the old man, he regained his strength.
Why did it stab the old man so deeply, and the tip of the knife went straight to the heart?
Chen Meng woke up in shock: it is likely that the old man was only injured by flesh and skin, and he couldn't die at all.
So, he decided not to run, at least to figure things out. And the best way to confirm your guess is to go back to the scene and see what happened.
Of course, he still didn't dare to swagger on the streets in broad daylight. After all, he just stabbed someone last night, whether he died or not, as long as the police intervened, the first person to be arrested was him, Chen Meng, the person who committed the murder with a knife. So, he left the train station, quietly found a small alley where no one knew him, and hid.
His plan was that most of the small shops in the alley would have televisions to keep track of the progress of events. If there is no wind during the day, he will return to the shipyard in the western suburbs at night to see the old man's state. If the other party is alive, his own crisis will be lifted, even if the other party is injured and the condition is not good, as long as he is not dead, he will send him to the hospital, and his responsibility will not be great.
Chen Meng's plan is still quite strict in theory. It's just a pity that the plan never catches up with the change. If Chen Meng dared to rush to the shipyard in the western suburbs in the morning, he would see the old man in a coma, get him something to eat, and save the old man. Thus, he also cleared the suspicion of the murderer.
Actually, if nothing else, he waited until the evening to go to the shipyard, and it would be fine. At that time, the old man was not dead, and the police did not intervene in the brawl. It was business as usual throughout the day. It's like nothing happened.
The problem is that something went wrong. What Chen Meng never expected was that this matter was also mixed with an outsider Tang Shan. Tang Shan arrived at the shipyard at some point in the afternoon and woke up the old man in a coma. Then, the old man told Tang Shan a historical story that was both real and illusory, and asked Tang Shan to copy two mysterious chess games that lasted for 700 years.
In the end, the old man felt that he had nothing to love, and shortly after Tangshan left, he set fire to himself. In addition to committing suicide due to terminal illness, in fact, more is also to burn the two chess games tattooed on his back.
So, when Chen Meng was a mile away from the shipyard, he saw the sky-high fire.
Chen Meng was so frightened at that time that he immediately ran as hard as he could. Not to run away from the shipyard, but to run towards the fire. At this moment, all he thought about was to make sure that the old man was still alive. If you can see the old man, then this fire has nothing to do with him.
Chen Meng made another serious mistake. It's good that he doesn't get close, but when he does, the fire has something to do with him.
When the fire brigade arrived at the scene of the fire, the fire was already very large. To their surprise, there was still a frightened young man standing at the scene. The people of the fire brigade immediately controlled Chen Meng.
Then, after the fire was extinguished, firefighters found a charred body from the fire. The police intervened in the incident and took over Chen Meng from the firefighters.
To make matters worse, the police soon learned that a large-scale brawl had just occurred last night in this inaccessible shipyard in the western suburbs, and it was said that an old man had been stabbed to death, and the arson suspect in front of him was the knife killer last night.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, the police handcuffed Chen Meng, and through other comprehensive information, they found the Royal Hotel. At this time, Brother Ximen Biao and Brother Dongcheng Liang were fighting on the ground, rolling around, knowing that they were fighting, but they didn't know, and thought they were doing unspeakable things on the ground.
It wasn't until the police arrived, stood the two up from the ground, and snapped their fingers apart that the matter was over.
Brother Liang saw that it was not the restaurant security guard who persuaded him, but the real policeman, and he felt very strange for a while, but he didn't dare to be ruthless to the police, so he could only yell at others:
"Your sister, who called the police?"
No one answered him.
A policeman nudged from behind and said, "The policeman doesn't deserve to persuade you to fight, do they?" ”
Brother Liang turned around and said with a smile: "No, no, we shouldn't bother the police comrades for such trivial matters." ”
The second policeman sneered: "Brother Liang and Brother Biao fought in person, if it wasn't a big deal, there would be no big deal in Fenglin Town." ”
The third policeman went to take Brother Biao. When Brother Biao and Brother Liang rolled on the ground, they suffered a lot of losses, in addition to a suit and shirt that didn't fit, and he couldn't use his hands and feet, he was indeed not Brother Liang's opponent physically. So, most of the time, he is the one who is ridden underneath.
Moreover, Brother Liang is a bit unauthentic. Ordinary people don't hit their faces when they fight, so Brother Liang wants to greet Brother Biao's face, not only bruising his right eye, but also spitting on his left eye. What's even more excessive is that Brother Biao's hairstyle, which has been rectified for half an hour, has been messed up. The "Mediterranean" has reappeared in the world, and it looks even more terrifying.
It is conceivable that Brother Biao was very angry and sad at this time. So, when the policeman approached him, he behaved a little more out of shape, and shouted incoherently:
"Stuff your mother, dare to touch me? I can lay you off with just one phone call, believe it or not? ”
After that, he really took out the phone and pulled it out. The policeman was stunned, thinking that he had really met some big person, and for the sake of safety, he had to politely wait for him to finish the call.
Brother Biao dialed the phone of the mysterious person, but before he could speak, he scolded angrily:
"Fuck you pig fat biao, didn't you say you didn't cause anything last night? Everyone was stabbed to death, and today the scene was burned to the ground. Still say it's okay? I don't think you want to live anymore. ”
Brother Biao opened his mouth, speechless. The other party's tone became cold:
"Remember, it's none of my business. Those who kill people and set fires will be dealt with as they should be dealt with. ”
Brother Biao opened his mouth again, and finally closed it completely. At the same time, he hung up the phone, lowered his eyebrows, and shyly left the police at his mercy.
Because of the death and fire, everyone who participated in the brawl the night before was called to the police station to record a statement. Including the small steel cannon that just fell out with Brother Biao.
Afterwards, when the police saw that the content of the confession was quite simple, almost everyone didn't know why the fight started that night, but they only remembered that in the process of fighting, two bosses were on the scene, one deliberately pretended to be a little brother, and the other sang inspirational songs loudly.
In fact, the two bosses, Brother Liang and Brother Biao, didn't figure out why the fight was so messy that night.
According to the usual gangster movie plot, the more people are brought, the more they can't fight. Bringing people is to raise the weight of negotiations, not to fight. If you really need to fight to decide the winner, you don't have to be so troublesome, just let the two bosses wrestle in the field.
Many years later, the two bosses forgot to find the scraps of the chess game, and they reluctantly figured out that the root cause of the fight that night was because they said two foul words: one scolded "pig fat biao", and the other said "stuff your mother".
There was no suspense about the outcome of the incident, and everyone saw that in the process of Chen Meng and Xiaogang Cannon, the knife was inserted into the old man's heart. The old man died, and the next day he was burned to charcoal. The main offender is Chen Meng, and the accomplice is Xiao Gangcang.
Chen Meng cried on the spot, sobbing and swearing to the police:
"I didn't kill anyone, that stab can't kill him. I didn't set it on fire, I just went back to see if the old man was dead. ”
A policeman was amused by him:
"Can't be stabbed to death? Take a watermelon and stick it in your heart to see if you die? ”
Another policeman pointed out Chen Meng's logic from the side:
"Since you didn't kill anyone, why don't you go back and check if the old man is dead? Are you sick? At that time, there was no one else in the shipyard, and who set the fire instead of you? Did it burn on its own? After you have obviously killed someone, you still want to destroy the corpse. ”
Chen Meng was completely speechless. After a while, I remembered the plot in the Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series, and asked the police weakly:
"Can I get a lawyer?"
The policeman was impatient: "Yes. We are a society governed by the rule of law, and you have this right. The point is, do you have money? ”
Chen Meng seized a glimmer of hope and shouted to Zhou Weiliang, who was recording a confession on the other side:
"Brother Liang, can you lend me money to find a lawyer?"
Zhou Weiliang smiled at the policeman, and at the same time suggested to Chen Meng very unjustly:
"Your sister, don't make trouble for the police comrades, just admit your guilt with a correct attitude. More than 40 pairs of eyes saw you stick a knife in someone's body, what lawyer in the world can catch you? What do you do with that money? ”
Chen Meng immediately cried bitterly, tears and snot flowed down his face.
When the little steel cannon heard that he had become an accomplice, he didn't cry, but argued with the police with a red face and a thick neck:
"The knife is not in my hand, it was not stabbed by me. I didn't help Chen Meng, but I fought with him, how did I become an accomplice? ”
The policeman replied: "You broke someone's pot, and you led Chen Meng's knife to the old man, and it happened that the knife was inserted into the old man's body through the gap in the iron pot, you are not an accomplice, who is an accomplice?" ”
Xiao Gang Cannon got up and turned his head, reconciled with Brother Biao who fell out on the spot, and asked the other party for help:
"Brother Biao, you said I was fine."
The policeman grabbed Xiao Cannon's shoulder, pressed him back to his seat, and said angrily:
"Brother Biao is not a judge, why does he say that you are fine?"
Brother Biao over there thought to himself, I can't protect myself now, can I still keep you okay? Besides, in the afternoon, you not only inquired about my private affairs, but also fought with me, and your stomach was pushed by you, and it still hurts faintly. If he hadn't been injured first, and then fought with Zhou Papi, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed. Thinking so, he sprinkled all his gas on the little steel cannon:
"Stuff your mother, I don't have a brother like you."
Everyone present didn't understand, how could there be no such brother as soon as they entered the police station? Only Xiao Gangcang understood it, and Brother Biao still held a grudge against the afternoon's events. He also knew that even if Brother Biao really had a big man in the background, he couldn't count on it at all.
After a few turns of thought, Xiao Gangcang also learned the tone of the vulgar TV series of Hong Kong and Taiwan, and pleaded with the police with a sad face:
"Can I be a tainted witness?"
The policeman covered his mouth and laughed, then pointed to the little hooligans in the room, shook his head and refused: "No need." Look, it's all over the room, and we all suspect that there are too many witnesses and too few criminals. ”
The little steel cannon did not give up: "But I am next to me, and I can see it most clearly." ”
The policeman still shook his head: "There are more than forty pairs of eyes, which angle is not clear?" ”
That night, most of them were released, mainly because the police station was too small and crowded and there was nowhere to stand. Brother Biao and Brother Liang, who were the instigators and leaders of the brawl, were each detained for 15 days.
A few months later, the verdicts of Chen Meng and Xiao Gangcang were all final. Chen Meng's manslaughter, plus arson the next day, was sentenced to 15 years in prison; The small steel cannon fought with a person, causing the death of a third person and was sentenced to three years in prison.
No one seems to remember that the cause of this incident is related to one or several fragments of the legendary chess game.
No one knows that Tangshan, a truant teenager, is inextricably linked to the incident.
