Chapter 22: The Scourge of Prison
Outside on the road, sirens sounded from far and near.
I didn't even have time to react, and while I was still struggling in shock, I was surrounded by three or four police officers.
In the end, he was handcuffed and taken away covered in blood.
I changed my clothes in a daze and was detained in the detention center in Lin'an Xicheng.
When I first entered, a couple of old fritters beat me up with great interest, and I didn't fight back, because I hadn't recovered from the whole thing, but I remembered what each of them looked like.
Judging from the fatal wound on the neck of Yan Guoba, a normal person can not live for more than two minutes with a wound of that magnitude.
And when I entered the store, the smoke pot had not yet run out, which means that almost when I just got out of the taxi, the murderer wiped the neck of the smoke pot.
If the police station receives an alarm at this time, even if it rushes over as quickly as possible, it is absolutely impossible to be so fast.
So the only explanation can only be that someone arranged all this in advance, and this person is most likely the puppeteer hiding in the dark.
But I couldn't understand why he did this, told Yan Guoba that there was a business at the door, and then informed me through Yan Guoba's mouth, and passed the charge of murder to me.
All this seems to be the perfect way to kill with a knife, but for his dignified puppeteer, shouldn't there be a better way to do it to me without leaving a trace?
For example, directly sneaking in behind when I am unprepared, with his means, it is absolutely fine.
In this regard, I think maybe he doesn't know my details, and this time he blames me, maybe it is a test of me.
After all, people who have been able to walk on the rivers and lakes for so many years are unlikely to press all their chips without knowing all the roots of their opponents.
It's just that I still have a way to deal with the devil or something.
But now it is obviously beyond my professional scope, and the city of Lin'an is unrelated to me, so how can I break the situation?
There are only two people I can think of who might help me, Sister Hua and Concubine Si.
Sister Hua may really have a way, her status on the road is not low, but I am not related to her, and I contradicted her not long ago, so I may not be able to help me at this time.
As for Concubine Si, this woman is actually quite righteous, plus she also pointed to me to deal with the little ghost matter for her, she should be willing to help me.
But after all, she is just a young lady in the skin and meat business, and it is hard to say whether she can help.
After thinking about it, I didn't think of any good way, so I had to resign myself to fate.
Soon I was interrogated by the local police station, and after they collected evidence at the scene, it was determined that there were only two people in the office at that time, me and Yanguoba.
The murder weapon is the kind usually used for cutting paper, a very sharp utility knife, judging from the flatness of the wound, it should have directly cut the carotid artery and throat.
Although my fingerprints were not found on the utility knife, in the absence of absolute evidence to back it up, I was almost a murderer in their eyes.
What's more, after their visits to the surrounding neighbors and friends of Yanguoba, they found that I had a conflict with Yanguoba a week ago.
The wound on the head of the cigarette pot was left by me at that time.
This means that I have a motive for a deliberate revenge killing, and everything is very bad for me.
Just when I was thinking about it and didn't know what to do, a lawyer named Zhou Ye saw me.
He is only about 1.65 meters tall, with a big head and a big belly, a bit like Doraemon.
He said that he was already going through the bail process for me, and that I would soon be able to get out of here, and that I would only need to be summoned when I cooperated with the investigation, and that he would defend me in court later.
Although Zhou Ye did not explain it directly, it was not difficult to hear from his tone that he was instructed by someone, and he was very confident in defending my innocence.
I think the only one who can have this kind of connection in Lin'an and is willing to help should be Sister Hua.
After signing a lot of words, I was finally released from the detention center on bail by Zhou Ye and returned all my belongings.
When I walked out of the detention center, I let out a sigh of relief, just one second I thought I would never be able to climb that high wall for the rest of my life, but the next second I was actually free.
The ups and downs of life are nothing more than that.
I asked Zhou Ye who entrusted him to bail me out.
Zhou Ye sold a relationship and said to me.
"Don't ask, won't you know when you go?"
I got into Zhou Ye's car, didn't say anything all the way, and finally the car stopped directly at the door of a comprehensive entertainment club called Jiudu in Lin'an.
Zhou Ye walked in front, I followed behind, watching the tall and scantily clad women coming in and out, and from time to time they would throw me two eyebrows, which made me a little red-faced.
I took a deep breath and thought to myself, when I see Sister Hua later, I must say "thank you" to others!
I followed Zhou Ye to a stop at the door of a private room at the KTV on the second floor, and after pushing the door, it was full of smoke and bustle.
There were actually two naked women on the coffee table, scratching their heads.
Seeing this scene, I actually reacted instantly, and hurriedly lowered my head and followed closely behind Zhou Ye.
I was still thinking to myself in my heart, I believe that Concubine Si came to this kind of place, but Sister Hua ......
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhou Ye, who was walking in front, bend down slightly and say.
"Boss Zhang, I'll fish out the people you want!"
When I looked up, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties and had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose was looking at me meaningfully.
I don't know if it's the reason for the flickering lights in the private room, but I always feel that this person's eyes are a little cunning.
"Little Master, come on, come on, sit here!"
Boss Zhang pushed away a woman in his arms, patted the sofa next to him lightly, and motioned for me to sit.
I sat down with some restraint, took the cigarette handed to me by Boss Zhang, and took a puff.
I've never smoked this kind of cigarette, and the cigarette case is all in English, which is quite smooth.
I said, "Boss Zhang, did you let me bail me out?" ”
This kind of gratuitous gift, I think we should ask about it first.
Boss Zhang's full name is Zhang Ke, the leading real estate developer of Lin'an's generation, who knows how to engage in real estate, and everyone is very rich.
Zhang Ke took off more than half of the cigarette left on his mouth, threw it in the ashtray at random, and then grabbed the mobile phone on the coffee table, opened Douyin and handed it to me.
What is playing on his phone is the video of the paper figure I edited earlier.
He said: "Little Master, I actually wanted to ask you to help me do something, but who knew that you would kill someone and be taken to the police station." ”
I quickly denied it.
"I didn't kill anyone, there was a misunderstanding!"
Zhang Ke waved his hand and said to me.
"It doesn't matter if you kill someone or not, what matters is whether you can prove that you didn't kill someone? However, you can rest assured, I have a little relationship in Lin'an, as long as you can help me do my things beautifully, I don't say that I will ensure that you are not guilty, at least it will be an execution outside of prison! ”
At this time, I finally understood that Zhang Ke wanted to do something with me.
In fact, this is quite good, at least the price is clearly marked and the exchange is equal, and it also saves you from owing others favors.
I said, "Boss Zhang, what's the matter, let's hear about it?" ”
I have already made up my mind at this time, no matter how hard Zhang Ke's bone is, I have to gnaw it off, this is the only way for me to get rid of my guilt.
Zhang Ke sighed, and then told me about what happened to him.
The projects in the hands of people like Zhang Ke must be one after another, and there are many projects that he will not even ask about in person, and all of them will be handed over to his subordinates.
However, the Lin'an side began construction the year before last and was expected to be completed in a year, but when it came to the final closure, it couldn't be closed.
Build a collapse once, because it is a government project, it has exceeded the scheduled time, and the above is very dissatisfied with this.
Zhang Ke really can't help it, the money must be lost, but the relationship above still has to be maintained, so the bridge must be built.
Originally, at the beginning, he thought that the people below were cutting corners, resulting in quality problems.
But even if he personally supervised, how the bridge should collapse, or how it should collapse.
Later, when he heard the workers of the night vigil talk about something evil, he realized that maybe the problem itself was not the bridge!
