After Brother Liang left the prison visitation room, he called the mysterious big man. Unexpectedly, the phone rang twice, and it was pinched off. Brother Liang was helpless, knowing that the other party was afraid of his entanglement and was unwilling to answer his call. It is useless to pull it a hundred times.

So, Brother Liang sent a text message, with only one sentence:

"The chess game is broken."

In less than a minute, the other party took the initiative to call, and he was not polite at all, and with a little suspicion, he asked:

"What's the situation? Aren't you still in the provincial capital yesterday? ”

Brother Liang said with a smile: "It's still in the provincial capital." Just got out of prison. ”

The mysterious big man seemed a little surprised: "Isn't it? What did you get caught in yesterday? Don't say you know me in there. Don't expect me to rescue you. ”

As soon as Brother Liang heard the last two sentences, he was very unhappy in his heart, and secretly scolded, your sister's, I have been running for so long for your broken endgame, even if there is no result, at least it is a little hard work, right? Why bother talking so ruthlessly?

Could it be that a character like me is a plague, and a big man like you will be unlucky if he gets it? In that case, why did you go around in a big circle to find me in the first place?

When Brother Liang thought of this, he suddenly lost his enthusiasm for serving the big shots; almost scolded his mother by his temperament, and then hung up the phone directly, and let the big man experience the taste of no one and a bird.

Then I thought about it, this is too cheap for the other party, at most it makes the other party's heart slightly blocked; And I have worked hard for so long, and I haven't reaped any benefits, which is not cost-effective.

Now that the chess game has an eyebrow, it is better to borrow the opponent's strength to get it first, and then there will be enough capital to open the conditions a little higher.

Moreover, endure and endure with the help of the other party's power to get things done, and he also seems to have great powers in the rivers and lakes. It's definitely impressive, and whoever sees it is afraid of three points.

The big husband can bend and stretch, why bother to spoil a big thing for the sake of a momentary mood? is so uncontrollable, no wonder the other party is not with him. In order for the other party to look up to you, you must first let the other party see your own value.

The mind went back and forth a few times, and for dozens of seconds neither side spoke, but Brother Liang heard the sound of cups colliding and swallowing on the phone, so he knew that the other party was drinking water to moisten his throat, and waited patiently for his next words.

So he put his feet together, the muscles of his face tugging, and tried to piece together a smile, and continued the topic just now:

"No, no, I didn't get caught. I went there to visit the prisoners. Don't worry, I won't get you in trouble. ”

After justifying and confessing such a long paragraph, he kept a stiff smile, and his muscles were a little sore. So he reached out and stroked his face for a long time, allowing his expression to return to his haughtyness.

The other party was also a little impatient, swallowed a large mouthful of water, and then changed the topic with a face:

"Get down to business. You are in the provincial capital, how can you find out the whereabouts of the broken pages of the chess game? ”

Brother Liang didn't have time to organize another smile on his face, and immediately replied:

"To tell you the truth, I came to the provincial capital to find the scraps of the chess game."

There was a little annoyance in the other party's tone:

"Play the piano randomly. I told you at the beginning that the fragments were secretly circulating in the rivers and lakes of Fenglin Town, what did you run to the provincial capital to toss around? Even the direction is wrong, what should I do? ”

Brother Liang saw the other party scolding, and he also scolded back in his heart: You know a chicken feather, I went through a rigorous reasoning before I tracked down Chen Meng in the provincial prison. Don't think that because you're a big official, you can see everything.

Brother Liang laughed dryly a few times and explained:

"It's a long story. Do you remember? A year ago, in the incident at the shipyard in the western suburbs, a guy accidentally injured the old man with a watermelon knife, and later set a fire, and was sentenced to more than ten years and imprisoned in the provincial prison. Recently, I've found some clues that give me reason to believe that this locked up guy knows the whereabouts of the game scraps. ”

When the big man heard this, he was no longer annoyed, and he took another sip of water, and asked:

"So, you went to the provincial capital to ask this person?"

Zhou Weiliang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was finally interested in him:

"That's right. It's called a visit, and it's actually an inquiry into the whereabouts of the scraps of a chess game. ”

The other party gets straight to the point: "What about the result?" ”

Brother Liang quickly answered: "He admits to knowing the whereabouts of things." But he wouldn't tell me. ”

The other party's anger was ignited again: "Isn't that all nonsense? ”

Brother Liang still spoke quickly: "He has conditions." ”

The other party's anger calmed down a little and asked, "What conditions?" ”

Brother Liang and Pantuo:

"He said he was going to get him out, otherwise, he'd rather the secret rot in his stomach forever."

The big man is skeptical:

"Are you sure he knows the whereabouts of the thing? What if he lied to you just to get out of prison? ”

Brother Liang hurriedly said:

"Unlikely."

The big man scoffed:

"Why is it unlikely? Did he say he had seen the scraps of a chess game? Did he describe to you what that fragment looked like? ”

Brother Liang was a little deflated:

"Not really. Before I could ask for the details of the fragment, he directly put forward the conditions. Actually, even if he described the game to me, I couldn't tell the truth from the fake. Because I haven't seen it yet. ”

The other party still sneered:

"Isn't that the end of it? He can't tell you apart, so what reason do I have to believe you? ”

Brother Liang felt that this conversation was really tiring, and he was about to sweat, but he didn't expect to communicate with the big guys, just like climbing a mountain. He took a long breath and readjusted his tone:

"He shouldn't be foolish. He knows the consequences of nonsense. I know this man, and he doesn't dare to tell such a lie. In addition, judging from all the signs a year ago, this Chen Meng is the only clue for us to find the chess game. ”

The other party still didn't believe it, but gave Brother Liang a chance to explain:

"Why do you say that?"

Brother Liang took a deep breath, organized his language a little, and continued:

"A year ago, according to the instructions you gave, we found the strange old man, but in the process of looking for something, an accident led to the old man's death. Since then, the whereabouts of the game have been unknown.

"Recently, I found out that the first person to rush into the old man's house to look for it was Chen Meng; Later, it was Chen Meng who stabbed the old man with a knife. What's more, the next day, knowing that the old man was stabbed, he returned to the scene of the incident alone and set it on fire.

"It's not something that ordinary people can do. If he didn't have a secret in his heart, then he must be a madman. But I know that this man is shrewd, not a madman. ”

After listening to it, the big man pondered for a long time before he followed Brother Liang's train of thought and said the inference:

In this way, if the old man had been stabbed and died instantly, Chen Meng might have been the first person to examine the body; If the old man didn't die on the spot, then he would be the last person to see a living old man. ”

Brother Liang was overjoyed, and repeated the ancient dragon conclusion he said a few days ago:

"Therefore, if there is still one person in the world who knows the whereabouts of the chess game fragments, this person must be Chen Meng."

The other party pondered for a while, and his tone was still not sure:

"But that's just speculation after all."

Brother Liang knew that he couldn't relax at this time, otherwise he would fall short, so he said quickly:

"It's already obvious. I went to see him today, and before I could say anything, he asked me in the first sentence if I was still looking for the scraps of the chess game; Then he didn't allow me to ask questions, claiming to know the whereabouts of the things, and directly put forward conditions; After putting forward the conditions and not allowing me to refute them, he ended the conversation early. You see, if he didn't really know something, how could he be so confident? ”

The other party was silent for a longer time at this time, and finally slowly asked Brother Liang:

"Is there any other way to get him to speak?"

Asking this sentence shows that the other party finally believes Brother Liang's analysis. Brother Liang slowly spit out the breath that he had been holding for a long time, and sighed:

"There's no other way. There is only one gambler father in his hometown in the countryside, and the two have not been in contact for many years; Giving money or gifts doesn't mean much to him in prison. He said that the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and unless they get him out, let the secret rot in the stomach. ”

The big man continued to be silent. After a long time, I gave my final instructions to Brother Liang:

"It's not trivial to get out a prisoner who has been sentenced to more than ten years. Whether this can be done is unknown. But no matter what the outcome is, you can't confide half a word in others. Otherwise, you will die ugly, remember? ”

Brother Liang hurriedly stood up on the street, nodded, bowed, and resumed a sneer:

"Remembered, remembered."

Before hanging up the phone, the big man asked inexplicably:

"This Chen Meng, how long have you been with you?"

Brother Liang was a little confused:

"It's been three or four years. What's wrong? ”

Big shot:

"Do you really know him?"

Brother Liang is still confused:

"He used to be involved in the streets, and his voice was very loud, but he was actually a timid and fearful person. But when I saw it today, it seemed to have completely changed, not in a hurry or in a hurry, quite a city. ”

The big man suddenly sighed:

"Maybe his previous performances were all fakes; Perhaps, this year of prison life made him reborn from the fire, and his IQ made a qualitative leap. ”

After a pause, the big man warned:

"All in all, this person should not be underestimated. If you can't make it in the future, your achievements in the rivers and lakes will be greater than yours. You'd better be careful. ”

Hanging up the phone, Brother Liang kicked on a tree on the side of the road, spat on it, and was very unimpressed by the warning of the big man, and scolded:

"Your sister's, a Chen Meng, no matter how shrewd and strong he is, will my good brother still be afraid of him?"

However, big shots are big shots after all and are prescient in some things. Later, Chen Meng really became the boss of the rivers and lakes in Fenglin Town, and the limelight once overshadowed Brother Biao and Brother Liang. That's for later.

After Brother Liang made this call, he took Erjo and the cake back to Fenglin Town to wait for news. I waited for a whole year.

In the past year, the case of Chen Meng's murder and arson has quietly changed.

First, some people felt that the details were suspicious, and then remanded for retrial, and in the process of retrial, several inexplicable eyewitnesses emerged to prove that Chen Meng was elsewhere when the shipyard caught fire. He arrived at the scene after the fire was too big to be saved.

It can be seen from this that the fire in the shipyard was not set by Chen Meng. In addition, the judge and the jury also believed Chen Meng's own account: he returned to the shipyard to check on the old man's injuries and try to provide rescue.

In the end, the verdict of the case was changed as follows: Chen Meng accidentally injured someone, but the next day he had remorse and a desire to help, and was sentenced to two years in prison.

Objectively speaking, the process of retrial of this case is a bit absurd, especially the unknown origin of the eyewitnesses, and the vague testimony makes people feel quite implausible. However, it is precisely this that makes things infinitely closer to the truth.

This has to make people sigh, the world is too bizarre, far beyond our imagination.

Since the case was not tried in public, Brother Liang knew nothing about all this. A year after calling the big shots, Brother Liang suddenly received the news that Chen Meng had been released from prison one day.

So, Brother Liang sighed at the great power of the big man on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was ready to wash the dust for Chen Meng.
