Chen Meng is indeed not simple. He figured out a lot of things while in prison.

Chen Meng not only guessed the chess game, but also a bigger secret; And guessed that the mysterious person who was looking for the scraps of the chess game behind him had the ability to get him out of prison.

In the end, he led the whereabouts of the chess game remnants to Tang Shan. This point is not entirely based on reasoning or guessing, but on the way back to the shipyard in the western suburbs that day, he really saw Tang Shan's figure.

Two years ago, the day after the incident at the shipyard in the western suburbs, when Tang Shan left the old man, it was getting late, and because he was open-minded, he did not expect the old man to set fire*, so he walked along the road along the way and did not deliberately hide his whereabouts.

Chen Meng walked to the shipyard in the western suburbs almost at the same time as Tangshan left, but because he had a ghost in his heart, he was simply step-by-step in the whole process of approaching the shipyard, and when there was a slight sound, he ran to the side of the road like a nocturnal mouse and hid.

Later, at a certain point on that road, Tangshan and Chen Meng crossed head-on; Tang Shan didn't notice Chen Meng lying on the side of the road, but Chen Meng saw Tang Shan walking quickly in the middle of the road.

At that time, and for a long time afterward, Chen Meng only thought that Tangshan was just an accidental passer-by. Because the place where they met was a full seven or eight miles away from the shipyard. Even before and after he was sentenced to prison, he didn't remember that he had met Tang Shan on the road.

It wasn't until a year ago, when Chen Meng was bored in prison, his memory became clearer and his thinking became more and more active, that all the details were connected.

At this moment, Chen Meng finally figured it out, Tang Shan, this kid, he had not only met once, as early as the first time he searched for the old man at Qiaotou, Tang Shan had a fight with them. In this way, Tang Shan's later appearance near the shipyard was not accidental, but secretly had a significant relationship with this matter.

Only one thing Chen Meng guessed wrong: it was not Tang Shan who set the fire, but the old man himself.

In addition, no one knows that what Tang Shan got was not a fragment of a chess game handed down from the Song Dynasty, but a copy of the chess game; What no one expected was that Tang Shan also inherited the complete way of the endgame "Jade Silk Golden Ding" and "Seeing the Captive Alone" from the old man.

Zhou Weiliang seems to be the key figure in this incident, in fact, he does not know many details of this matter, and his head is far less elaborate than Chen Meng, so when Chen Meng tells the truth, he can't believe it at all.

Zhou Weiliang's anger at that time is difficult to put into words. In his opinion, Chen Meng, a former subordinate, didn't take him in his eyes at all at the moment, and after going around in such a big circle, he still treated him like a monkey.

As soon as Brother Liang was angry, he secreted more saliva than ordinary people. Therefore, it is not for nothing that he often spits on people.

At this moment, Chen Meng knew that he was about to spit when he saw Brother Liang's throat moving and his closed mouth stretched and shrunk. Hurry up and finish the sentence:

"If you don't know who the kid who went to the shipyard before I was, I can give you a little more clue. He had a fight with us at the bridgehead. You go back and ask them about the birds, and it's easy to find this person. ”

The reason why Chen Meng still told what he knew and told him after some cynicism was not because he was afraid that Brother Liang would spit on him, nor was he afraid that the other party would smash things.

It's that he knows that Brother Liang is more anxious than anyone else to find the scraps of the chess game, and if he doesn't break some dry goods to him, I'm afraid he will be haunted and pestered him all the time.

But this truth, for Brother Liang, is too jumpy, and he can't straighten out his train of thought at all for a while, so he can't show anything other than anger.

Chen Meng seemed to have expected this, so after saying what he had to say, he immediately got up and turned around. Leaving Brother Liang stunned in place, there was no target for launching with a mouthful of saliva, so he had to get up and kick over the breakfast table placed on the side of the road. Pointing at Chen Meng's back from afar, he scolded:

"Your sister. See how I clean you white-eyed wolf. ”

The owner of the breakfast shop kicked the table again, and asked with tears from afar:

"What's going on? Why do you have to smash my plate and kick my table? ”

The boss was about to rush over to theorize, but when he saw that Brother Liang scolded Sichuan Wei foul words, his face was fierce, his sword pointed to the sky, and he spit out a huge spit on the ground, with a desperate posture with others, so he had to give up the plan to reason.

Zhou Weiliang saw that the boss was halfway through, and suddenly stopped abruptly, beckoning the boss to continue coming, the boss was a little scared, but he didn't dare to disobey the greetings of others, so he hesitated to move to Zhou Weiliang's side.

Until the boss walked to the distance where he could speak, Zhou Weiliang suddenly asked inexplicably:

"What is your table made of?"

The boss was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought that the other party was going to compensate him for the table and plates, so he immediately smiled all over his face, nodded and said:

"The table is an iron shelf, it can't be broken, but this plate is a bit of a pity, but it's not worth a few dollars."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Weiliang suddenly turned his face again, kicked him in the lower abdomen, and scolded hatefully:

"Your sister's, a broken table, since it's made of iron, why is it painted the color of plywood? Isn't that deliberate? ”

The boss was stunned again, and after thinking about it for a long time, it turned out that when the great god kicked over the table, he used too much force and injured his foot. The boss was a little crying and laughing:

"The table is painted this color, the manufacturer should be blamed, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhou Weiliang squatted down and rolled up his trousers, pulled down his socks, and his feet and neck were really blue, he pressed them with his fingers, and there was a sound in his mouth, and then he raised his head and continued to cast wild on the boss:

"Who is to blame for the table you bought? You are a deceptive table, causing customers to be harmed, and you are not responsible? ”

If someone else is replaced, the boss is estimated to have to turn his face on the spot, even if it is for the sake of business not to fight, a few rude words on the street must be a must.

However, the boss didn't know the arrogant god in front of him at first, but later in the process of arguing with Chen Meng, he heard the whispers of others, and realized that he was the famous Dongcheng Liang brother, a small vendor owner by himself, and he couldn't afford to provoke this person, so he had to swallow his anger all the time.

At this moment, the boss didn't know how to answer, and was full of grievances to pick up the table that had been kicked over, and took a broom, ready to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Brother Liang was very angry because of the pain in his feet and neck, and he slapped the table and ordered:

"Bring me a bowl of shredded meat. Put less soy sauce and more spicy. ”

The boss had to put down the broom and go back to the kitchen to make shredded meat powder. While busy, while scolding:

"Fuck, you kicked over my desk, blamed it for hurting your feet. Is the heavenly principle in this world really eaten by dogs? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? ”

After making the shredded meat powder, the boss spit two mouthfuls into the bowl, rubbed a small ball of black mud from under his armpit, threw it in, stirred evenly, and then carefully brought it to Brother Liang, wiped off the aggrieved look on his face, replaced it with the common smile of a small businessman, and greeted:

"Your shredded meat powder, please use it slowly."

Brother Liang glanced at the boss suspiciously, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and began to eat rice noodles.

After arguing with Chen Meng for half a morning, smashing dishes and kicking the table, wasting a lot of physical strength, he was really hungry at this time, and he ate the rice noodles after dividing five by two, and even drank the soup cleanly.

Filling his stomach, Brother Liang's depression was almost gone, he stood up, didn't pay, and walked away. Halfway through, he turned back to the boss and reprimanded:

"Your sister's, there is a sour smell of sweat in your rice noodles."

The boss was stunned again, he didn't expect this street hooligan to have such a keen sense of taste; Fortunately, after Brother Liang finished speaking, he didn't plan to delve into it, so he just strode away. The boss breathed a sigh of relief and continued to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

Zhou Weiliang walked to an uninhabited street corner, took out his mobile phone, and called the bigwigs in the provincial capital. The bell rang for a long time, and the phone was connected, and the other party seemed to be exercising, talking out of breath, and there was an accompaniment such as "um" and "ah":

"Well, oh, is there good news for the chess game fragments?"

Zhou Weiliang didn't know how to phrase it for a while, and his tongue rolled up for a long time, and only then did Ai Ai Dao:

"I was tricked by that kid. Can you get that kid in again? ”

As soon as he heard this, the other party was like a dynamite * bag with a fuse burned out, it was calm a second ago, and it suddenly exploded at this moment. The other party's voice is distorted:

"You're going to me? If you want to get it out, you can get it out, and if you want to get it in, you can get it in? ”

Immediately after, there was a loud bang on the other end of the phone, mixed with the screams of a woman. Then there was no sound. Brother Liang guessed that the other party's mobile phone was angrily smashed against the wall, frightening a woman who didn't know what she was doing.

Brother Liang stared into the phone in a daze. knew that the most difficult thing to suffer today was not to turn his face with Chen Meng, not to kick over the vendor's table and hurt his feet, not to mention to eat a bowl of rice noodles with a strange taste; Instead, I made this call.

Not only was the call wrong, but the timing was also wrong.

Brother Liang glanced at the time on his phone, half past nine, and thought, I thought that the big guys were all in charge of everything, how did I think that you were still working under the cover at half past nine in the morning?

At this time, Brother Liang was a little broken, his whole body was weak, and he felt that the whole world was against him, and even eating a bowl of rice noodles on the street could be eaten to the point of nausea.

Then, he opened his mouth and said "wow", and spit out the whole bowl of rice noodles he had just eaten in the corner.

After gasping for a long time, Zhou Weiliang raised his sleeves to wipe his mouth, and walked towards home with small steps.

An hour later, Brother Liang had just walked to the door of the house, took out the key and was about to open the door, when the phone in his trouser pocket rang. He scolded in his heart, which birdman still called me at this time? Too lazy to pay attention to you.

I opened the door and entered the house, drank a large sip of water to clean my stomach, and my stomach was a little more comfortable, and the phone rang for the second time. Brother Liang reluctantly grabbed his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was the big guy who had just exploded, and quickly pressed the answer button.

The other party opened his mouth and scolded:

"you, play a tantrum with me, huh? Don't answer the phone? ”

Brother Liang explained incoherently:

"No, no, I just went to the bathroom and didn't hear it."

The other party no longer pursued, and his tone was much calmer:

"Chen Meng, that kid didn't say anything?"

Brother Liang sighed:

He said that the day after the incident at the shipyard, before him, another man had arrived at the shipyard to see the old man, and that the same man had set the fire. Doesn't that mean nothing was said? You're just kidding me. ”

The other party pondered for a long time before continuing to ask:

"Did Chen Meng specifically describe the appearance of another person?"

Brother Liang:

"That person Chen Meng knew, he was not very old, and he was probably a middle school student at that time. Before the incident, that person had a fight with Chen Meng and them at Qiaotou because of his grievances with the old man, so he had a deep memory. ”

The other party groaned again, and then said slowly:

What Chen Meng said may not be a lie. This man is likely to be the successor the old man himself has found. ”

Brother Liang was stunned, he didn't expect that even he couldn't believe it, but the mysterious big man inexplicably believed it.

The other party finally commanded:

"Find a way to find the middle school student. But don't be alarmed, secretly check this person's whereabouts in the past two years, and report to me at any time. ”

Brother Liang didn't know how to answer, just nodded and hung up the phone.
