Chapter 18 [Won't Revisit at All]
Liang Zhi received a call from Shen Guangming in the bathroom, and when he answered, the other party said, "What happened?"
Just now, Liang Zhi just felt that the scene was awkward, and hoped that Shen Guangming would come back quickly. He said, "It's okay."
Shen Guangming asked again: "Are you really all right?"
At this time, Liang Zhi remembered the secret code that Shen Guangming had agreed with him. If one day he was unfortunately in danger and could not tell the real situation on the phone, the other party would answer that it was really okay when asked again.
Liang Zhi said: "Yes."
After Shen Guangming was sure that Liang Zhi was safe, he didn't ask about the other party's situation in detail. He was very busy with the investigation, and the police station mobilized a lot of manpower, but the effect was not significant.
The delay in finding the murderer made him feel uneasy. Maybe the other party had escaped from the hotel in some way, watching them busy around like watching a play.
Shen Guangming said: "I can't go back for a while."
"I understand. By the way, did Tang Yao help out there? I hope he didn't make trouble." Liang Zhi asked.
Before Shen Guangming could answer, Tang Yao, who was eavesdropping next to him, couldn't help it anymore. He said angrily, "Hey, what do you mean! Look down on me? Although I didn't pass the criminal police examination back then, I still have two talents."
Shen Guangming laughed, turned off the loudspeaker and said, "Liang Zhi knew we turned on the loudspeaker, and deliberately teased you."
Liang Zhiguang could tell from the sound that Shen Guangming and Tang Yao hadn't slept all night. He said, "You will definitely catch the murderer."
"Of course." Shen Guangming smiled. He liked Liang Zhi's firm tone, as if he also firmly believed that he could catch the murderer.
Shen Guangming didn't know that Liang Zhi's firmness only came from his own physique.
If he is in city B, the murderer will be in city B.
Liang Zhi had no intention of leaving City B first. Once he returned to City A, the murderer would definitely choose to leave too. Then Shen Guangming, Tang Yao, and countless hard-working police officers, their efforts would be in vain.
It's not that he hasn't tried staying by Shen Guangming's side to induce the murderer to appear. Once, after confirming the murderer's tail, he chose to ask Shen Guangming out for a drink.
As a result, the murderer did not show up. Just when he thought he had escaped, a victim appeared at that time that night.
Liang Zhi was not a reporter at the time, but only learned about it through Shen Guangming.
At that time, he asked the system if the murderer chose someone else because he couldn't attack him.
The system answered him yes.
He asked the murderer if he still wanted to kill him.
The systematic answer made Liang Zhi's scalp tingle.
——The victim didn't die, but was tortured and crippled by the sharp weapon.
From then on, Liang Zhi understood that no matter whether the murderer had killed someone before, once they saw him, they would never let him go.
If he chooses to be protected by the police, many people around him will be affected.
Liang Zhi thinks he is not a kind person, if he can sacrifice others in exchange for his own life, he will do it, but this is not the way to solve the problem, and at the same time he does not want to live so cowardly.
He will not please those who wish him dead.
After finishing the call, Liang Zhi returned to the dining table. Here, Shen Quan and Mu Yuxin had finished their meal. The bowls and chopsticks on the table were gone, but there were teacups and teapots on the teacups. The aroma of hot tea was floating on the teacups.
The two drank tea quietly, and Liang Zhi was a little puzzled by the lack of communication.
Did they really see each other?
After Liang Zhi sat down, Mu Yuxin poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Liang Zhi, there will be a fireworks show near here tomorrow night, do you want to go and see it?"
Liang Zhi was a little moved when he heard the words. He himself came to travel, so he had no reason to stay in the hotel all the time.
Liang Zhi looked at Shen Quan and asked, "Is Brother Shen going too?"
Shen Quan answered quickly, he got up and said, "No, you go, have fun."
After speaking, he left the room so fast that Liang Zhi didn't even have the time to say goodbye.
It's really strange, how could Shen Quan let him and Yu Xin be together, logically speaking, shouldn't he follow closely.
Liang Zhi, who had zero love experience, didn't want to understand. He never expected that under Shen Guangming's deliberate misleading, he would fall into a weird triangle relationship.
Mu Yu drank tea slowly, she was very satisfied with Shen Quan's wit.
She would use various excuses to lead Liang Zhi to crowded places, so that it would not arouse the other party's defense and suspicion, and it would be convenient for people hiding in the dark to take action.
Shen Quan found the security guards who drove the man away yesterday and asked them where they drove the man away.
The security guards thought that Shen Quan was worried that the man would come to the hotel to harass him, so he patted his chest and assured him, "We beat him up and left him in a nearby alley. He will definitely not dare to come again."
Shen Quan asked about the exact location and said, "Thank you."
Then Shen Quan left the hotel.
He had observed the man that day, and the man with rough and dark palms was a manual laborer. He was wearing white washed clothes and looked financially distressed.
If the other party fails to find fault, he will not let it go. He must stay nearby to guard Mu Yuxin, and he will not choose another hotel to stay.
Why is Shen Quan so sure, because——
At this time, he took out a worn-out wallet from his pocket, and threw it into the passing trash can without any mistakes.
He took the man's wallet while knocking him unconscious.
Shen Quan came to the alley mentioned by the security guard and found it a very interesting place.
There were ten men squatting in the alley. From their dirty clothes and decadent hairstyles, they could easily be labeled as "beggars".
Shen Quan stood at the entrance of the alley and blocked the only light that came in. They all turned their heads and looked at Shen Quan.
Shen Quan walked in without hesitation. When he passed by a beggar, the beggar threw himself on the ground, grabbed Shen Quan's trousers, and said with a humble and ingratiating smile, "Give me 100 yuan for dinner."
If Liang Zhi was here, he would probably complain that this beggar is not begging, it is a debt collection, not only asking for a lot of money, but also acting as if it should be taken for granted.
Shen Quan didn't have such an idea, after all, to him, there was no difference between 100 and 1000, or 10000.
"100 is not enough, I can give you 1000." Shen Quan looked down at the beggar with calm eyes.
The alley was very quiet, his words were like a stone thrown on the surface of a calm lake, causing ripples.
The beggars who were sitting thought they had encountered a big fish, so they all got up and walked over and stretched out their hands to ask for it.
"Give me some money, kindhearted people. I haven't eaten for a few days."
"Everyone in the family has been hungry for days."
"Good people live in peace."
Shen Quan raised his hand at this moment, and the beggars were involuntarily affected by his aura and became quiet.
With Shen Quan's back against the light, his front was covered with a shadow, he smiled slightly, revealing an unpredictable meaning: "As long as you can do me a favor, you can get 1000 yuan."
The eyes of the beggars showed greed and excitement.
"But—" Shen Quan stretched out a finger, "There is only one quota."
The beggars glanced at each other, and suddenly they didn't know who stepped on someone's foot first. With a scream, they fought in front of Shen Quan.
Shen Quan stood there and watched. They could have chosen one person and divided the money equally after the matter was completed. After all, ten people could get 100 yuan each.
But he knows that this is impossible. Many things seem to have an option of AB, but there is only one correct answer from beginning to end.
Get it or lose it, people are more willing to go to extremes than to choose the simple and mediocre way.
Mediocrity means accepting unwillingness.
In the end, there was only one tall beggar standing, and the others fell to the ground and howled.
When he came over, he was almost tripped by someone on the ground, he kicked that person vigorously, he didn't stop until the person didn't move, walked up to Shen Quan and said roughly, "What do you want me to do?"
Shen Quan noticed that the tall man's blood-stained hands were shaking, and he seemed to be holding on. He said, "Did someone appear here yesterday?"
The tall man thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, it's a man with a mask, and he's still here."
Shen Quan raised his eyebrows and asked, "You didn't drive him away?"
From Shen Quan's point of view, since this is the place where they gather, outsiders should not be tolerated.
The tall man showed disgust on his face, and he said: "That man is sick, we dare not approach him."
Shen Quan understood, he said: "Then take me to see him."
The tall man immediately stared at Shen Quan, as if the words "you're crazy" were written on his face.
Seeing this, Shen Quan took out his mobile phone and said, "I didn't bring any cash, do you have a QR code to scan it?"
The tall man immediately took out a QR code map from his pocket. These days, the payment methods for begging have to keep pace with the times. He probably even has a credit card machine.
Shen Quan paid 1000 yuan and asked gently: "Can you take me to see him now?"
The tall man took the money first but he didn't dare to disobey Shen Quan again. He knows how to judge people the most, and he knows that people like Shen Quan who don't take money seriously cannot be offended.
He bent down and led the way in a weak gesture: "This way."
Shen Quan saw the man under the guidance of the tall man. Although the man was not driven away, he was driven to the side of the garbage dump.
The other party folded his arms and curled up in a ball, sleeping.
The tall man was unwilling to approach the man five steps away, but Shen Quan ignored it. He took out his mask and hat and put them on, then bent down to pick up the drink can on the ground, only to find that there was still water in it.
Originally, he wanted to wake the man up with a jar, but that's fine, it can be done in another gentle way.
Shen Quan picked up the jar and poured the drink inside directly on the man's head.
"Ah!" The man was awakened by a chill, he looked up and saw someone in front of him, instinctively thought it was the other party's fault, he was startled and angry: "Who are you!"
Before Shen Quan had time to say anything, the man's fist swung over.
He easily turned his body, kicked the man against the wall heavily, and said in a helpless voice, "We are fellow travelers."
"Who is traveling with you! Damn it!" The man tried to break free with his hands on the wall, but after losing his wallet, he had no money to buy food, and he didn't have much strength after a day of hunger.
Shen Quan withdrew his feet, and when the man wanted to attack again, he said, "I'm also here to find Mu Mu."
The man's fist stopped in mid-air, and he asked in surprise, "You?"
"I followed all the way to the hotel, and then I saw you." Shen Quan wore a mask, and after deliberately lowering his voice, he looked a little low and hoarse, "The people around her are very powerful, I want to find you to cooperate."
Hearing the words, the man touched the back of his neck that was aching, and said with lingering fear: "That bitch has found a backer with his face."
At this time, the man had no previous hostility towards Shen Quan at all, and he stared straight at Shen Quan's face.
Shen Quan let the other party look at him, but he didn't understand what the other party wanted to see.
The man suddenly said: "I thought everyone like me was dead, but I didn't expect... Hey."
Shen Quan raised his eyebrows slightly, but his micro-expressions were perfectly hidden under the mask and hat, and he followed the other person's words: "Are they all dead?"
"Yeah, I wanted to find a few more people to settle accounts with her, but it turned out that they were all dead! They are all trash!" The man tore off the mask that covered most of his face. The impact can almost kill a trypophobic person instantly.
"Even if I'm going to die, I'll let that bitch go to hell with me!" The man's eyes and tone were crazy, obviously his mental state was very dangerous.
Shen Quan is not a doctor, but thinking about what Mu Yuxin had done, he probably knew that the man was suffering from sexually transmitted diseases.
When the other party saw that he was wearing a mask, he thought he was suffering from the same disease.
It's summer now, and Mu Yuxin is wearing a cool skirt, so Shen Quan can confirm that the other party's body is healthy from the exposed skin.
Shen Quan was a little curious about how Mu Yuxin did it, but this curiosity was not enough to interfere with his plan, he said: "I found out that they will go to the fireworks show tomorrow night, and that is the best time to make a move."
The man returned to his senses and asked calmly, "Do you have any plans?"
From the very beginning when Shen Quan saw a man break into the hotel to settle accounts with Mu Yuxin, he knew that the other party was a mindless idiot, otherwise he wouldn't have come here in person, he said: "Of course, as long as you listen to me, Mu Mu will leave it to you. "
The man's eyes showed joy, and he didn't know if he was thinking of how to torture Mu Yuxin, he nodded and said: "Brothers listen to you...you give me some money, I lost my wallet before, and I have been hungry all day. "
Shen Quan, the culprit who made a man lose his wallet, asked, "Do you have a QR code?"
The man froze for a moment: "What?"
Shen Quan turned his head and glanced at the beggars in the distance: "They know how to carry QR codes with them when they beg."
The man finally understood what Shen Quan meant, he clenched his fists and said, "Fuck! I'm not a beggar."
Yes, you are not as good as them, Shen Quan thought to himself.
Men are as disgusting as the garbage pile next to them.
