Chapter 24: Come to the Door to Seek Death

Han Feilu kept his word. Even though he was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home and have a good sleep, he still squeezed out time and energy to investigate Zuo Ye's whereabouts, in order to find out the truth about Chi Chenguang's arrest.

Zhang Qiang turned the corner and saved his life. Although his tongue was cut off and he could not complain out loud about Zuo Ye's evil deeds, he continued to improve himself by making gestures and typing to explain how Zuo Ye, disguised as an online ride-hailing driver, snatched the drunken man from the door of the hotel.

He left, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he was tied to the bare bed by Zuo Ye. Han Feilu originally had reservations about Zhang Qiang|raping and humiliating Zuo Ye's mother, but now he saw Zhang Qiang being cut off by Zuo Ye at all costs

After losing half his life, he believed only seventy-eight percent of his life, so he had no sympathy for Zhang Qiang at all. However, the case of Zuo Ye's illegal possession of a gun and illegal imprisonment was filed, and he was also well-known for finding Zuo Ye. Zhang Qiang's case

It can be said that people in the past planted trees and people in the future took advantage of the shade and did good deeds.

Before Zuo Ye escaped, he worked as a loader in a furniture store. He had a few colleagues with whom he had close contacts. When questioned by the police, several colleagues said that Zuo Ye had always been a loner and never got close to others.

One is Zuo Ye's friend, and Zuo Ye has never talked about his life with them. In short, although they have worked with Zuo Ye for half a year, their understanding of each other is limited to knowing each other's names.

Qi Tianlei's team visited Zuo Ye's colleagues, but found nothing. Seeing that he was about to return without success, he had an idea and found the owner of the furniture store and asked the store owner in detail about the reason for hiring Zuo Ye. Unexpectedly, one sentence of the question touched the boss's waist.

, a day of running around finally got a late start.

The boss said: "He was introduced by an acquaintance of mine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hire someone who has been in prison."

Qi Tianlei perked up after hearing this: "Who introduced it?"

Boss: "His name is Jiang Chao, and he runs a billiards hall on Gulou Street."

The owner of the billiards hall, Jiang Chao, came into the police's sight. Qi Tianlei conveyed the news to Han Feilu. Han Feilu came out of the gym and went straight to Gulou Street. Gulou Street was named after a several-meter-high drum tower building in the center of the street, heading west.

There is a dusty eight or nine-story commercial building at the junction of the adjacent building materials market. This building was originally an electrical appliances store. It was moved to a new urban area a few years ago with the pace of urban development, and the newly settled shops are also doing so.

It didn't last long, so it got the nickname "Location Poison". Looking from the roadside, there were only a few signs on the front of the building, the most conspicuous of which were the "Hongtian Qiu Club" hanging on the third floor and the "Hongtian Qiu Club" hanging on the seventh floor.

'Shuang Wai Wai Hotel'. The two signs are red with blue characters. They are exactly the same from material to design. Even during the day, there is a circle of colorful lanterns on. It is not difficult to tell that they are two sister signs.

From the signboard and store name, we can see the store owner’s advanced aesthetic level.

Those two signs were really eye-catching. Han Feilu also saw it. He held his sunglasses and looked up: "Hang Tian Qiu, so cool. This name has achieved good results. Is it opened by the same boss?"

Gu Hai: "Lei Zi didn't say whether this hotel belongs to Jiang Chao, I asked him to check it out."

He conscientiously took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call. Han Feilu said: "No need to check, just go in and ask."

They entered the building from the entrance on the first floor and took the elevator to the third floor. Coming out of the elevator was the front desk of the billiard hall, but there was no one at the front desk. Going inside, there was a large mahogany screen wall with two dragons playing with beads carved on it. Han Fei

Lu has seen wealthy people put up screen walls in the gardens of their villas. This is the first time he has seen a screen wall placed indoors, especially the one in front of him, which is more than two meters high. A slightly lower floor ceiling would not be able to accommodate it.

He patted the dragon's body and said, "This dragon is pretty good, but why does it have Bai Suzhen's head?"

The dragon on the left has the head of a human and the body of a dragon, which looks exactly like the white snake with a beautiful face in the opening sequence of the classic old drama The Legend of White Snake. It has a strong sense of incongruity and weirdness.

Gu Hai said very pertinently: "Maybe the boss here likes it."

Walking past the screen wall and walking in, there are more than a dozen ball tables in the huge hall. There are no customers in the daytime, so it is very deserted. The windows facing the sun are covered with a layer of blue glass curtains, and the indoor lights are dim, which is very self-inflicted.

I took the trouble to turn on the ceiling light. After passing through the hall, there is a bar counter to the east. Behind the bar counter is a whole wall of wine cabinets, which is very impressive.

Han Feilu sat down on a bar stool and found a cat lying on the bar. The cat was black, yellow and white. It was lying on the bar with its hands folded. It had a round body and hairy cheeks. It was even bigger than the tiger at home.

Fattened up. When Han Feilu met the cat, it was like meeting his sweetheart. He immediately smiled, touched Sanhua's head and said, "Hello."

He was busy teasing the cat, so Gu Hai called out: "Is there anyone there?"

There was a curtain between the two wine cabinets. There should be a storage room behind the curtain. Gu Hai shouted, and suddenly there was a whirring sound inside, and then a man shouted: "Who is it?"

Gu Hai: "Come out and speak."

A young man with yellow hair and a floral shirt opened the curtain and walked out. He tied the buttons of his shirt with both hands. He glanced at Gu Hai and Han Feilu, who was playing with the cat, and said, "We open at six o'clock in the evening."

The curtain was opened again, and a young girl wearing a vest and short skirt came out. Judging from her figure, she was in her early twenties. She wore heavy makeup and a cute little face with two big black eyes that almost occupied her face.

With half the position occupied, it is difficult to distinguish her beauty from her ugliness.

The girl was chewing gum, then put her hand into her vest to adjust her underwear as if no one else was watching, and said, "Get me a drink and send it to the front desk. I want to drink Hennessy."

The man cursed: "You deserve to drink Hennessy? You deserve a dick!"

The girl laughed nonchalantly and yelled back: "Then you only deserve a dick!"

She came out of the bar and caught a glimpse of Han Feilu. She twisted her waist and walked towards Han Feilu, and said with a smile: "Brother, are you here to apply for a card? Our store recently held an event, top up one thousand and get three hundred free, which is a good deal.

.”

Han Feilu looked at the two dark eyes on her face. Her eyes were already big, and she wore blue contact lenses. The light from the contact lenses made her eyes astonishingly bright. She couldn't tell whether they were beautiful or not.

She is so beautiful that the other facial features on her face have very little presence. Even her body is easily overlooked. She only has one pair of eyes, a pair of frivolous and gaudy eyes.

Han Feilu asked: "What's your name?"

The girl said: "My name is Xiaowen, what's your brother?"

Han Feilu: "My surname is Han. Are you the front desk here?"

Xiaowen: "Yes. If you apply for a card, I can even give you an employee discount."

Han Feilu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come over to you next time to apply for the card."

"Then it's settled." Xiaowen smiled playfully and picked up Fat Sanhua on the bar, "Let's go, I will make a fortune and sit on the table with my sister."

Huang Mao: "Speak up!"

Xiaowen hugged the cat and laughed and said: "I'm not wrong, the front desk is also a table!"

In this girl named Xiaowen, Han Feilu saw that she was as poor and cheap as a weed, but with extremely strong vitality.

Gu Hai knocked on the table, drawing Huang Mao's attention to himself, and asked, "Is your boss here?"

Huang Mao suddenly became more wary: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Hai took out his ID and showed it to him: "We are the criminal police of the detachment. Call your boss out."

Huang Mao looked at his police officer ID card, rolled his eyes and said, "Our boss is not here."

Han Feilu just touched the cat and there was a lot of cat hair on his sleeves. He picked off the cat hair one by one and said: "If he's not here, follow me back to the Public Security Bureau for questioning. Take your ID card and follow us."

.”

Huang Mao said hurriedly: "I remembered, our boss is busy at the back, I'll go call someone."

There is a door next to the bar, which is ajar, leading to the back of the ballroom. Not long after Huang Mao left, the door seemed to have been kicked, and it bounced open on both sides with a whoosh, followed by a bald man.

He rushed out, covered his butt and yelled "fuck", as if someone had kicked him.

"You kicked the door very coolly. If the door is broken, can you fix it?" A man wearing a white Tang suit linen shirt, a pair of black loose shorts, and a pair of slippers came out and approached the bald man who just kicked the door.

Cursed.

Five or six tall men walked out one after another behind him, all with strong muscles and round waists, and faces full of flesh.

The man pointed at Huang Mao: "Xiao Bei, keep an eye on him and ask him to fix the door today. If he can't fix it, I'll hang it up on the door."

Huang Mao: "Okay, brother."

The man turned his head, looked around Han Feilu and Gu Hai with squinted eyes, and said, "Police?"

Han Feilu walked towards him, looked at him for a moment, and said, "Jiang Chao?"

Jiang Chao kicked his pants pockets with both hands and looked at him with an angry look on his face: "You want something from me?"

Han Feilu: "Does the hotel upstairs belong to you?"

Jiang Chao: "Shuang Wai Wai? Yes, it's mine. Any advice?"

Han Feilu smiled: "That's a good name."

Jiang Chao: "Haha, you have vision, I like it."

He stretched out his hand to Han Feilu, and Han Feilu shook his hand and said, "I have something important to do with you. Can we sit down and have a chat?"

Jiang Chao: "I'm not good at sitting for long periods of time. How about we play two strokes?"

Han Feilu: "No problem."

Jiang Chao waved his hand, and the two younger brothers set up table tennis and picked up cues. Huang Mao, who was called Xiaobei, also brought two glasses of iced drinks, like a king of mountains cheering him up and down. Jiang Chao was in his thirties, and

Han Feilu is about the same age. His hair is short in front and long in back, resembling the popular wolf tail head, and he has stubble on his upper lip and chin. He has a narrow face, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and blue-rimmed eyes, giving him a very mixed-race look.

He is heavy, so his beard is not ugly, and he has a Japanese-style literary and decadent temperament. He wears a cross necklace around his neck, two circles of Buddhist beads around his wrist, and a peach wood token hanging from the belt buckle on his waist.

The tattoo of Brahma with four heads shows that this person's beliefs are mixed, aiming at more but not at all, so it cannot be considered pious at all.

Han Feilu caught the club he threw and wiped it with powder skillfully: "You come first."

The younger brother placed the ball. Jiang Chao hit the ball and broke up the triangular square. A red ball rolled into the goal bag. "Ah ha, a good start!"

Han Feilu stood opposite him with his cue stick in his hand, watching him aim the cue stick at the yellow No. 4 ball again, "Did you open the golf club yourself?"

Jiang Chao: "This is the family property my father left to me. In addition to this ball hall and the hotel upstairs, I also opened several hot pot restaurants and collected rent on several floors in Dongcheng." As he said this, he raised his eyebrows.

She started to raise her eyebrows at him and smiled, "I am not talented. I am exactly the rich second generation waste that you say is a waste of time, alcohol and knowledge."

Han Feilu smiled and said: "It's amazing."

With a bang, Jiang Chao hit the yellow ball out: "The reincarnation is good and there are few detours."

The yellow ball hit the border and bounced back, stopping two or three centimeters away from the ball bag. Jiang Chao cursed loudly: "Fuck!"

Han Feilu randomly found a position, bent over, held the club with his right hand, bridged with his left hand, kept his chin and arm in a straight line, and pushed the club out with light force. The club head brushed the edge of the yellow ball, and the yellow ball

Turn left twice and then fall into the mesh bag.

Han Feilu straightened up and took two steps, looking for the next target on the table: "Do you know Zuo Ye?"

Jiang Chao: "Who?"

Han Feilu: "You introduced him to work in the furniture store, but you don't know who he is?"

Jiang Chao raised his fingers and Huang Mao handed him a cigarette case lighter. He lit a cigarette and said, "That boy with the scar on his left cheek?"

Another green ball fell into the bag. Han Feilu added some powder to the club: "Remember?"

Jiang Chao sat sideways on the edge of the table: "I have an impression. What good thing did he do? Did he commit adultery or commit murder and arson?"

Han Feilu glanced at him, then leaned down and put up a hand bridge to set up the club: "He has done a lot of good things and is now a wanted fugitive. Do you know his whereabouts?"

Han Feilu hit a green ball, which passed through the messy formation, and then hit a red ball accurately. The red ball rolled forward and hit the edge of the table, then turned back along the diagonal line.

, the result fell into the goal bag accurately.

Jiang Chao chewed his cigarette and clapped his hands twice: "Beautiful!" After applauding, he said, "Why do I know his whereabouts?"

Han Feilu: "Aren't you friends with him?"

Jiang Chao: "Damn my friend, I only met him once."

After another two or three strokes, most of the balls on the table were cleared. Han Feilu walked slowly around the table: "You only met him once, but you helped him contact his work. I can't tell that you are still a kind person."

Jiang Chao laughed and said: "Hahaha, that's a lot of praise. If it weren't for the fact that he was in a hurry to find a job and there was money to be made, I wouldn't have introduced him to the Furniture City."

Han Feilu: "What's there to be gained from him?"

Jiang Chao: "Normally no one is willing to hire someone with a criminal record like him. But I have a way. I will help him find a job. His salary for the first three months before starting work must be handed over to me."

Han Feilu: "You are so rich, why do you still care about this little money?"

Jiang Chao smiled and said: "If you don't want it for free, who would think that you have too much money?"

Han Feilu originally wanted to clear the table, but at this time he lost interest and leaned his cue against the table: "Why would he ask you to introduce him to a job?"

Jiang Chao: "A few months ago, he bumped in without thinking and asked me to give him a job. But I didn't lack manpower at the time, and I could see that this kid had a wild mind and was difficult to control, so I just did it casually.

Find a place to send him away."

Han Feilu: "Didn't you know each other before?"

Jiang Chao: "What a joke, what's the use of knowing him?"

Han Feilu looked up at the ceiling: "Have you installed surveillance cameras here?"

Jiang Chao: "It's installed. Three are installed and two are broken. Do you want to watch the surveillance?"

Han Feilu looked at him again and said, "No need, I'll adjust the surveillance on the street outside."

He left Jiang Chao's contact information and told Jiang Chao that if Zuo Ye came back and asked him for help, or if he heard news about Zuo Ye, he should tell him as soon as possible.

Jiang Chao walked around the table with his cue stick across his shoulder, looking for the best hitting position: "Don't worry, comrade police, I am a good law-abiding citizen. If I see that kid again, I will tie him up and hand him over to you."

"

Han Feilu: "Then I'll wait for your good news."

He and Gu Hai walked out, but before they reached the door, they saw a woman in a black dress walking through the large screen wall. This woman was very weird, wearing a dull black dress in the hot summer, and also wearing a

The sunhat and sunglasses covered most of his face, leaving only his sharp jaw and bright red lips exposed.

The woman walked past Han Feilu carrying a heavy handbag, and Han Feilu suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

The woman stopped and looked back at Han Feilu. Han Feilu also looked at her. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed. Soon, he remembered that on the day Tong Yue committed suicide by jumping off the building, he had seen a woman on the other side of the lawn downstairs.

She was also wearing the same black dress and sunglasses, with a slender figure, and even the skirt was exactly the same. That woman only appeared for a few seconds that day, so short that it seemed like a hallucination, a ghost.

The woman said: "Are you okay?"

She is very young in body and figure, but her voice is very hoarse, like a voice caused by smoking too much.

Han Feilu took two steps towards her and stared at her face: "You work here?"

The woman didn't answer, and her face showed no change, but Han Feilu could tell that she was guessing her identity.

Han Feilu showed his ID and asked again: "What's your name?"

She looked at Han Feilu's police officer certificate for more than ten seconds before saying, "Dou Qing."

Han Feilu: "Did you bring your ID card?"

She opened her handbag, found her ID card and handed it to Han Feilu. When she opened the zipper, Han Feilu saw several piles of bulging red banknotes in the bag, estimated to be tens of thousands.

Han Feilu glanced at her ID card and said, "Take off your sunglasses."

Dou Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "I have severe keratitis and my eyes are photophobic." As she said this, she pushed down her sunglasses to reveal half of her eyes, which were heavily congested and frighteningly red.

Her eye disease was indeed serious. Han Feilu did not insist on asking her to take off her sunglasses and asked: "What are you doing here?"

Dou Qing: "I have something to do with Boss Jiang."

Han Feilu: "Why do you carry so much money in your bag?"

Jiang Chao, who had been watching for a while, suddenly shouted: "She's here to pay back the money."

Han Feilu looked at him: "What more money?"

Jiang Chao: "She asked me to borrow money to treat her eyes. Even though she was not cured, she still has to pay back the money."

Han Feilu: "Are you still lending money?"

Jiang Chao spread his hands and said with a smile: "Private legal lenders."

Han Feilu asked Dou Qing again: "Have you been to Jiuli Jinting on June 25?"

Dou Qing said: "I did go to Jiuli Jinting last month, but I don't remember the specific time."

Han Feilu: "What are you doing there?"

Dou Qing pointed to her eyes: "Treat the eyes. I heard that an old Chinese medicine doctor lives there and is very experienced in treating eye diseases, so I wanted to try my luck. But the old man returned to his hometown a few months ago, and I

No one was seen."

Han Feilu: "You are not a local, when did you come to Yucheng?"

Dou Qing: "It has been more than two months. My illness cannot be cured in our small county. I can only be cured in a big city."

Han Feilu: "Where do you live?"

Dou Qing: "Greentown Home Phase 2." She raised her wrist to look at the time, "Do you have any questions?"

There was no problem anymore. All the explanations she gave were sound and reasonable. Even though Han Feilu was still a little worried, he really couldn't find the problem at this moment.

Han Feilu returned his ID card to her and said, "Go to the Air Force Hospital. The ophthalmology department there is also very good."

After saying that, he and Gu Hai left the ball hall.

As soon as the two policemen left, she suddenly touched her heart and took two quick breaths. She gradually regained her composure, walked to the table with her bag in hand, and dumped several bundles of banknotes in the bag on the table.

Jiang Chao used a cue to separate the stacked bills, roughly counted the numbers, and said, "Sister, you almost killed me. Don't come here again."

She nodded, turned around and left without saying a word.

Jiang Chao asked everyone around him to get down, and stayed alone in the hall. He pressed the half-smoked cigarette in his hand on a bundle of bright red banknotes, and burned a hole in the banknotes. He bent down and supported the table with both hands.

, looked up at the cue stick that Han Feilu had erected by the table, with a sinister smile on his face: "There are so many damn people coming here looking for death today."
