Ah Zhong thought to himself: "I have survived six months in prison, and everyone has been deceived by me, but ......

"But the man in front of me, with the sharp eyes of an eagle, is really terrifying, and it seems that I can't fool it......

"To be honest, my spirit was on the verge of collapse, and I really couldn't stand it. I feel like someone is watching me all the time...... Oh! My fragile nerves could no longer endure this torture...... If I keep going, I'll go crazy one day.........

"I can't hide from it......"

After some inner struggle and trade-offs, Ah Zhong finally lowered his voice and said, "What if I ...... Put the black pearl in your hands...... How much can I get?"

"Haha...... You've finally told the truth, but ...... Hey! You won't get a penny from me! ”

"What?...... They told me that the black pearl was worth a fortune, to say the least, hundreds of thousands of yuan. I gave it back to you, and you didn't give me the money?"

"I can't give you money, but I can save your life." "Fate...... My life ?......"

"Yes, as soon as I report it to the Security Bureau, you will be imprisoned again in no time, and you will be subject to the harshest punishment and sanctions of the law.

"I will cite the evidence of the key and the dagger in court, including the fingerprints you left on the wall, these are ironclad evidence...... Ha ha! In this way, you will be sentenced to capital punishment in no time, and then you will be pushed to the death table by the executioner......"

When Ah Zhong heard these words, he trembled all over his body.

Lang Xiaobai said as if he was very pity:

"My intention was to hide these facts forever, that is, to save your life. Besides, it's useless for you to keep that black pearl. You don't know anything about selling antiques, and you can't find a safe way to do so.

"I know a lot of people who collect antiques, and as long as I'm willing to sell it at a low price, I don't think anyone will come to buy this black pearl."

"Don't try to escape anymore. Because before you do anything, I will report the case to the Security Service, along with the dagger, the key, and the fingerprints you left at the scene when you committed the crime.

Ah Zhong was extremely frustrated, holding his head tightly with both hands, only to feel exhausted. He was already terrified of this heart-pounding, uneasy life. Therefore, I began to yearn for the free and easy days of the past.

He said weakly:

"When am I going to hand you something?"

"Tonight. From now on, I'll give you an hour of your time. ”

"What happens if I slip away?"

"I'll put this letter in the mailbox right away. This letter is a handwritten complaint letter from Miss Beibei to the Chief Prosecutor, that is, an indictment against Ah Chung, a murderer and a criminal. That way, it won't be long before you're going to go to jail. ”

Ah Zhong picked up the bottle and filled his glass with wine. He threw his head back and took a few sips before jumping up from his chair.

"Let's go together! I'll tell you where to put the black pearl. ”

After Lang Xiaobai paid the bill, he rushed to the door of the restaurant.

Under the light of a crimson and lovely sunset, the two walked towards the square one after the other. The two men walked in silence. Ah Zhong's body and mind were exhausted, and he hunched his body, weakly dragging his steps.

The two of them arrived at Yueqin Park, next to a small smoke hotel.

"That's the store."

Ah Zhong pointed to the small shop and told Lang Xiaobai weakly:

"I bought a pack of cigarettes in that store that morning."

As they walked towards the shop, they saw a chair in the shade of a large tree by the roadside.

Exhausted, Ah Zhong sat down on the chair without saying a word, supported his hands under his cheeks, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Where are we going now? Is it to the park next door?" Lang Xiaobai asked patiently.

"I'm not going to the park...... It's here......"

"What's here?"

"Black Pearl!"

"What?"

"It's true, right here."

"What place are you talking about?"

Ah Zhong stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and the point of his finger was the wall of the park: "It's the crack in that wall." ”

"Which seam is it?"

"Find it yourself."

"Hey! Where is it?"

Ah Zhong didn't know what to sell, he kept his eyelids closed, and couldn't say a word.

"Hey! Why don't you speak? I ask you, where is it, tell me quickly! ”

"I was willing to tell you, but I think I'm a little out of my mind."

"Why? Are you trying to lie to me?"

"No, it's not. Because I was very tired, I was reluctant to speak, and besides, I hadn't eaten anything for about a week...... I don't have a penny on me. ”

Lang Xiaobai finally couldn't help laughing.

"Hah...... I see! I thought you were going to tease me, but how much do you want?"

"All I need is a third-class cabin ticket to country E."

"Oh, you want to run to country E? Okay, I see what you mean. ”

"Plus a hundred-dollar bill."

"I'll give you two, now you can tell me where it is, right?"

"Okay. Count from the stone on the right, in the gap between the twelfth and thirteenth stones. ”

Lang Xiaobai raised his eyes and looked around.

Although there is a tram passing by, there are very few pedestrians on the sidewalk, and it is late and a little dark, so no one notices.

Lang Xiaobai bowed down, pulled out a knife from his boot, and hurriedly inserted it into the gap between the twelfth and thirteenth stones.

"If it's not here, what then?"

"When I hid it here at the time, it didn't attract people's attention, so it should still be there well."

"How deep?"

"About ten centimeters."

Lang Xiaobai began to dig hard with a knife to dig through the wet soil. Suddenly, the tip of the knife touched something, and he quickly reached out to touch it. With little effort, he took out a mass of things wrapped in paper.

Lang Xiaobai loosened the paper bag layer by layer, and the rare black pearl was suddenly revealed.

"Great! This is a 200 yuan bill, and the ticket to country E will be given to you after a while. ”

After Lang Xiaobai took out two hundred-yuan bills and handed them to Ah Zhong, he left as if nothing had happened.

The next day, a big news appeared in the newspaper -

The rare black pearl that caused a great sensation in the society was finally found from the sworn enemy of Mrs. Xinxin, who died tragically.

The person who completed this investigation was Detective Lang Xiaobai of the Starlight Detective Agency. He returned the Black Pearl to Miss Beibei, the rightful heir to Mrs. Shin Shin's estate. Miss Beibei thanked him by giving him a large sum of money as a reward.

Since both people in the know were silent, neither knew the amount of the money.
