Chapter 45: Hired Companions
Ai Liang took Jin Ping'an to a nearby bank and entered a compartment of a universal Atm machine.
"You want me to help you investigate the case, right?" Ai Liang asked leaning against the glass plate.
Kim Ping An nodded with a serious expression: "Yes."
Ai Liang asked yesterday again: "Even if you know that life is going to be in danger, you should pull me in?"
"I know that it will be life-threatening to participate in this matter, so I will not force you to help me. I don't have that power, and you don't have that obligation. If you don't want to, I'll leave now."
Kim Ping An lowered his head, his voice hoarse and dull. Compared to last night, he was much calmer now.
"I said that my purpose in Qianhua Market was to go to school, not to be a justice messenger, so I would not participate in these things."
Ai Liang refused Kim Ping'an's request very ruthlessly, and the latter did not show an angry look except for being a little disappointed.
After all, the two met by chance.
Since the discovery of a series of disappearances, Kim Ping An has been hitting walls everywhere and suffered heavy damage in this month.
First, the clues reported fell to the sea, then the exclusion and alienation within the criminal police team, and then the intimidation letter was received with blades.
These warnings did not make Kim Ping'an retreat, but instead aroused his anger.
He ignored these warnings and insisted on continuing to investigate serial disappearances while isolated and helpless.
As the investigation deepened, the group of people's methods became more and more excessive.
One day, Kim Ping'an went out to investigate. When he returned home in the middle of the night, all the furniture at home was smashed to pieces. The kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room, and paint were everywhere.
When the alarm calls the community surveillance, he is told that the surveillance is damaged.
After the police who rushed over there had been no news again.
In the end, he had to stay in the hotel temporarily.
This is just the beginning.
In the days that followed, Kim Ping An would be beaten by unreasonable gangsters every few days, or inexplicably involved in the melee in the black area. Small characters like pickpockets would encounter them every day.
Not long ago, he was almost silenced by the robbers.
It seemed as if crimes in the entire city were surrounding him.
Jin Ping endured all these safety silently, and he was mentally prepared to fight alone.
Just like a stubborn donkey, no matter how destruction or blow it is, the truth of the disappearance case must be found out and the victims are fair.
Until last night, a group of "drunk" gangsters surrounded him and tore all the information he had collected and sorted for more than half a month in front of him, risking his life torn and throw it into the sewer.
Not only the shredded papers were washed away, but also the passion of Kim Ping'an and the broken heart.
This was the first time he had faced the malice of society in his adult life. Under the huge evil forces, his efforts seemed worthless, so small and insignificant.
Kim Ping'an, who has been forcing her to smile and numb herself, completely broke her defense.
On the verge of collapse, he wanted to find someone to talk to, but he didn't even have a friend to talk to.
The lost Jin Ping'an came to Ai Liang, a hostage friend he had just met in a trance.
When he was checking information in the criminal police team, he accidentally saw Ai Liang's past.
After seeing Ai Liang helping the police solve the murder case, the idea of seeking help came to his mind.
In fact, Kim Ping An didn't have much hope for inviting Ai Liang to help him.
It’s just that he has been fighting alone for a long time. He needs a like-minded companion, even if he supports himself spiritually.
But now, Ai Liang also rejected him.
"I get it, sorry, let you listen to a bunch of unpleasant things."
Kim Ping An solemnly bowed to Ai Liang, then put his hands on the door handle with his back.
He had already rested for one night and it was time to go back and reorganize the information.
"Transfer to this card by 100,000, and I will find someone to help you find out the truth."
Ai Liang did not stop Jin Ping'an, but handed him a note with a string of bank card numbers on it.
Upon hearing this, there was a light in Kim Ping'an's eyes. He slowly took the note and asked, "What do you mean..."
"I won't help you personally, but I can introduce someone who can help you, it depends on whether you can pay the price."
Ai Liang hugged her hands and said lightly.
For Kim Ping An.
You can mock him as a waste who overestimates himself.
He mocked him as a hypocrite to satisfy his sense of justice.
He mocked him as an innocent idiot who could not recognize reality and was not aware of the reality.
But society needs this kind of waste and this kind of idiot.
It is those in society who turn a blind eye to atrocities, turn a blind eye, and keep silent, who give the evil forces the confidence to abuse violence, do whatever they want, and deceive the truth.
There is nothing wrong with those silent people just want to protect themselves and their families.
But when the atrocities come to them, they will understand how important it is to be a naughty young man who is not afraid of power and dares to speak out.
The importance of such a young man to society is far higher than that of financial white-collar social elites.
They are the bottom line of society and the bottom line of human nature. If all such people disappear, the modern society will be far from disintegrating.
Kim Ping'an walked to the Atm without saying a word and took out his bank card from his bag to transfer the money.
Ai Liang looked at Kim Ping An without hesitation and asked, "Aren't you worried that I'm lying to you?"
Kim Ping'an did not answer, and his hands did not stop at any pause due to Ai Liang's words.
Until he lost all his 230,000 deposits in the transfer amount column, leaving a fraction of them as living expenses.
Ai Liang stopped him.
"…Is that person really willing to take such a big risk for 100,000 yuan?"
Kim Ping An murmured.
He was worried that the amount was too small and it was not worth it to take such a big risk, so he privately increased his bargaining chips.
"One hundred thousand is enough, you don't need to show your kindness in this kind of place."
Ai Liang said in a bad tone.
Do you help you find someone and blame others for asking for a low price?
Ai Liang was speechless inside. This guy was useless except kindness, and he could not speak in his mind.
Even doubt should not be so straightforward.
If it were Ye Qing, she would definitely say: "I can make money again when I lose my money. It's too risky to do this. I only give it a hundred thousand yuan and feel sorry for others."
The emotional intelligence gap is clear at a glance.
After confirming the transfer, Ailiang said, "This afternoon, that person will meet you in the city center. I will tell you the specific time and place at noon."
After saying that, Ailiang pushed the door open first.
"Wait a moment!"
Kim Ping'an called Ai Liang like she did last night.
"Can you tell me what kind of person you found? It's not that I don't trust him, but that what I want to do is too dangerous. I want to have a basic understanding of him first..."
"he?"
The man's face flashed through Ailiang's mind: "I can only tell you that he is a good person. He used to be like you, and he fought for everything about himself to investigate the truth about a missing case."
As he said this, Ai Liang paused for a moment, and then continued with a tone of memories: "However, the reason why he stood up was slightly different from yours."
