Chapter 43 Goodbye Old Friend
"Ghost stories, the income is just like that. By the way, are you free today? I haven't seen you in five or six years, and I want to have a drink with you."
"Yes, there have been no cases recently, so come to see me on Hehuai Road, Yangrui District! I will give you a location."
"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour."
After a ding-dong sound, Jiang Dongqiang quickly sent the location. My buddy turned on his mobile phone to navigate and found that it was about 20 kilometers away from me.
After closing the computer, I got up and put on a coat, went downstairs and bought two packs of Huazi, then took a taxi and drove directly to my destination.
"Master, just stop here! How much does it cost?"
When we arrived at Hehuai Road, I asked the driver to stop at the intersection. The driver glanced at me and held out five fingers.
My eyes bulged, and I looked at the driver in astonishment and asked, "Fifty yuan? Damn it! You're too stupid, aren't you? Normally, you only get more than thirty yuan when you check in."
"Normally, it's the same price at night. Boy, it's not easy for us to drive at night."
"Damn it, it's not even night yet!"
"Look if it's dark now."
The driver glanced at me, and my friend scanned the QR code to pay with a pained expression, and got out of the car while cursing. I didn’t expect that I would also be cheated, but my friend was too lazy to argue with him now.
I walked to the side and looked around. There was a snack street inside. I opened WeChat and told Jiang Dongqiang my current location. Then I put away my phone, lit a cigarette, and squatted on the curb waiting for Jiang Dongqiang.
After burning out the cigarette, when I turned around, I saw a sturdy man walking towards me, no doubt it was Jiang Dongqiang.
This guy's appearance hasn't changed much. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his physique is a bit unflattering. He's about 1.8 meters tall, and his whole body is full of muscles. Standing next to me, he looks like a hill, which can hold up to two of me.
three.
Jiang Dongqiang put his arm around my shoulders and said with a mean smile: "Hey! Brother Tong, how come you're only growing older but not taller! You're as thin as a noodle."
"Tch! Brother, this is called a standard figure. Being slim is not a noodle. It doesn't look like you. I haven't seen you in a few years and you have grown into a bear."
I rolled my eyes at him and pulled off his bear paw. Jiang Dongqiang smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said: "Haha! There is no way, I can't deal with those vicious suspects without this physique. Let's not talk about this, let's go! I beg you
You eat barbecue, and I will take you to a disco later."
"Forget it about dancing to the disco, just drink whatever you want! The noise is too loud, it makes your head hurt."
Jiang Dongqiang and I chatted, walked to a barbecue stall and sat down, casually ordered some skewers, ordered two boxes of beer, and started drinking skewers.
After drinking for three rounds, the buddy finished a glass of wine, put down his glass, looked around, looked at Jiang Dongqiang and asked in a low voice: "Hey! Qiangzi, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"
"Believe it!" Jiang Dongqiang picked up a bunch of mutton skewers and replied directly without thinking.
I was stunned. Jiang Dongqiang's reply caught me off guard. I didn't expect that he, a people's policeman, also believed in ghosts and gods. My friend stared at him in confusion for a long time without reacting.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Dongqiang pointed to the side and said to me: "Look at the guy holding the liquor and blowing on the bottle, isn't that an alcoholic? And the guy who keeps staring at the woman next to him, 95% of the time is an alcoholic.
Perverts, and some squatting in lottery shops, aren’t they also gamblers! And…”
"Uh?! Stop, stop, stop, no, I didn't mean that, I meant ghost...soul."
I interrupted Jiang Dongqiang's last words and said two words that were shocking. Jiang Dongqiang was stunned, holding the wine glass to his mouth, and looked at me in surprise.
"Brother Tong, did you have mental problems from writing ghost stories?" Jiang Dongqiang drank a glass of wine in one gulp, put down the glass and said slowly: "I can tell you! Although the crackdown on superstition is not so strict now,
But if you promote superstition outside, you will still be arrested."
"Oh! How could I promote superstition? I didn't believe in this kind of thing originally, but it has actually happened to me, and I can't help but believe it." I waved my hand helplessly, and then said solemnly
Said: "Tell you the truth! I work in a funeral parlor now. There is a body in the funeral parlor related to a murder case, and the deceased told me about it in a dream."
"Funeral parlor? Why did you go to work there?"
"You don't need to worry about this. Now that the deceased has got me, just tell me if you are willing to help!"
When Jiang Dongqiang heard this, he looked at me and frowned, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of my words.
After a long while, Jiang Dongqiang lowered his voice and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence? No."
"Then how can you prove that the body was murdered? Just rely on that incredible dream? Who would believe it? We need a basis for opening a case to investigate."
"But... I can tell where the deceased went on the day of the murder, what he did, and the process of the murderer's crime! This is also what the deceased told me."
Jiang Dongqiang was stunned for a moment when he heard what I said, frowned and asked solemnly: "Are you sure you know all the details?"
I nodded heavily, and then recounted everything Pan Mengxi told me as written.
Jiang Dongqiang fell into deep thought after listening to my story, frowning and drinking one cup after another.
After a few minutes, Jiang Dongqiang put down his glass and said solemnly: "If what you said is true, this may be a really big case, so be it! I'll go back and check first. If a case can be filed, I will let you know then."
"Okay, thank you very much. Come on, let me toast you."
I stood up, picked up the glass and drank it. Jiang Dongqiang laughed and waved his hand and said, "Oh! Although we haven't contacted each other for several years, our relationship is still there! You helped me a lot when we were in Jiangsu Province.
