dead innocent

The taxi driver took a few red tickets from him, and after seeing his work permit, he was eager to cooperate with the police in investigating the case, and he sent Chu Xingyun to the Sanfu Road nightclub within 15 minutes.

The night market with an area of ​​three streets is as lively as ever, with a small park in the middle of the street as the radiation, the center is ordinary restaurants and shops, and the surrounding area is full of low-end entertainment venues.

He tried to call Sun Hai, but as expected, Sun Hai didn't answer.So he walked into a hot pot restaurant facing the street. This hot pot restaurant served almost the same group of people every day, and many of them had seen him before. As soon as he entered, a sturdy bald man pulled him enthusiastically. Sit down and drink.

According to what he learned, Sun Hai was not very popular with others, he was greedy for money, lustful, and loved to eat alone. He and these people were friends with wine and meat.

Chu Xingyun took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on the empty seat next to him, pushed away the beer bottle he handed over, and asked about Sun Hai without any detour.

There was a slanting glint in the bald-headed eyes, and he greasyly leaned towards him, calling Sun Hai "brother, brother" inside and outside the words, scratching the edge of the topic in a hypocritical manner, just not answering the question directly.

While listening to his bragging, Chu Xingyun took out his wallet from his pocket, took out the only small stack of cash and patted it on the table, and then pushed the beer bottle with a layer of oil further away, He smiled and said, "I've invited you for this meal."

When the bald head saw the money, he didn't dare to be hypocritical, and immediately sold Sun Hai's whereabouts.

"Bailey World, Captain Chu, let's try our luck."

There was no delay for a second, Chu Xingyun got the clue and got up and left, walked two steps and turned back, took out two red notes from the bald man who was counting money, and there were five people and six laughing: "Give it to the buddies Save some taxi fare."

Baile World is the largest KTV nightclub on Sanpu Road. It is decorated in the style of nouveau riche at the fringe of urban and rural areas.

Ten minutes later, the taxi took him to his destination. Before getting off the bus, Chu Xingyun sent a text message to Chen Zhiyang. There were only five words - Baile Great World.

The business of Baile World is very bleak, and the newly opened dance hall diagonally opposite has robbed customers.In the lobby on the first floor, there were only a few girls in flamboyant and light clothes sitting on a black leather sofa, checking their makeup with a small mirror.

As soon as Chu Xingyun showed up, a few pairs of eyes hidden behind the delicate eye makeup scrutinized him. The girls scanned him up and down with eyesight comparable to that of a supermarket scanner, and quickly came to a conclusion that he was quite handsome. Unfortunately no money.

Standing at the door, Chu Xingyun glanced at them, then went straight to the cash register, showed his ID, and then found Sun Hai's photo to show to the girl at the front desk: "Have you seen this person?"

The staff in such sensual occasions have all seen the "big world", the lady and the guests are often reported to be taking away drugs and taken away by the police, and the anti-pornography and anti-drug police will come to the door from time to time for the reason of "checking fire safety", so Facing police questioning has become accustomed to them.

The girl at the front desk glanced at the photos on his mobile phone, and quickly recognized him: "Yes, this person has been here a few days ago."

"A few days ago? Didn't come today?"

The receptionist shook his head: "No."

Chu Xingyun picked up his mobile phone and asked: "Who is the girl he is looking for?"

Although they work in the same place, there is still a difference between the staff who do not trade in flesh and blood and the girls who sell youth and beauty.Perhaps in a reserved and prudish country, no matter how many times the dynasty has changed, the antagonistic relationship between "brothel prostitutes" and "good women" has always existed.No matter how the times develop, how hopeless is the current materialistic world, these beautiful products that follow the development of the times and the needs of the times and multiply endlessly will be treated unequally, this inequality exists in social relations, and between people in the sense of identity.

He has also participated in several large-scale anti-drug and anti-pornography campaigns in Yinjiang City. Perhaps he has seen too much, so he doesn't think there is any difference between sex workers and other workers, but the former is legal and moral. the target of crackdown.

At this time, Chu Xingyun saw the contempt and contempt of women for women in the eyes of the girl at the front desk.

Following her wink, Chu Xingyun looked back at the girls sitting in the lobby, one of them was wearing a tube top and hip skirt, and the girl with long hair who was smoking and pressing the phone was the target person pointed out to him by the front desk .

According to the girl, she and Sun Hai are acquaintances, but Sun Hai is not a regular customer. For two days, he booked a box with bundles of cash, having fun extravagantly.

"He didn't come today?"

Chu Xingyun asked.

"No, he said he would come, but it's already here, so he probably won't come today."

Chu Xingyun was silent for a while, and said again: "You call him."

The girl raised her heavily made-up and bewitching face, her dark eyes with eyeliner looked extraordinarily energetic, her lazy and tired posture was very sexy, Qing Lingling said: "I hit him, he won't answer."

It was understandable for Sun Hai not to answer his calls, but he didn't even answer calls from his 'friend'. It seemed that the situation had developed according to the complicated situation he expected.

"where does he live?"

The girl rolled her eyes in annoyance, and said, "I don't know."

Chu Xingyun looked at her calmly, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and showed a plausible smile: "You said he was stingy, but you went out with him for the night two days ago, since he is stingy, the possibility of booking a hotel Almost zero, where else but to bring you back to your residence? On the street?"

As he said that, his tone sank, and his words were extremely intimidating: "I don't want to trouble you. If you don't cooperate, follow me to the Public Security Bureau for a urine test. I suspect that you are gathering people to take drugs."

Under his coercion, the girl quickly gave in, and also showed a serious attitude, saying: "It's not that I don't cooperate, it's that it's hard to find a place where he lives, one alley is within another alley, I've been there twice, almost It didn't turn out."

"You mean, he lives in Baipingzhou?"

"It's that broken place."

Although Yinjiang City's economy is developed, there are also some areas that develop slowly and are even stranded by the economy.Baipingzhou is the most famous "city village" in Dongcheng District, comparable to "Huxi Lane" in Xicheng District.Among them, the population is dense, most of them are foreigners who come here to work, or local residents who have not waited for the demolition, and the management is also chaotic.

Baipingzhou has a large area, and it is really not easy to find someone without an accurate address, so Chu Xingyun took two steps towards the girl, took out the only one hundred yuan bill left on his body, and said to her: "This is the deposit, you Take me to find Sun Hai's residence, and the final payment will be settled tomorrow."

The girl was frightened by him just now, even though the labor he gave was pitifully small, she didn't dare to criticize at this time, so she picked up her handbag, said hello to the sisters, and left with him.

Chu Xingyun stopped a taxi on the side of the road and went straight to Baipingzhou.

Passing through a narrow street, the driver parked the car at a crossroad, next to the electric pole, turned his head and said to Chu Xingyun: "The road inside is not easy to walk, you can get off here."

He had a premonition that this trip was likely to be in danger, so he didn't let the girl get off the car, but asked her for her detailed address.

The girl stretched her arm out of the car window, pointed to a telegraph pole looming under the night sky without any tall buildings in the chaotic housing complex, and said, "It's right there, there is a noodle restaurant next to that telegraph pole. Sun Hai is renting the house of the owner of the noodle shop."

Chu Xingyun took out the change on his body, counted out half of the fare and handed it to the driver, and said with a smile: "Please wait here for a while, I will come in and pick up a friend, and I will come out soon."

Of course the driver refused, fearing that he would renege on his debt and was about to say something ugly, Chu Xingyun said: "I put my girlfriend here, what are you worried about?"

The driver glanced at the girl who dared not speak, and let go: "Okay, add fifty more."

"I'll add you one hundred more, as long as you wait here."

After speaking, he opened the door and got out of the car, and quickly got into a deep alley where the bottom could not be seen at a glance.

The telephone pole that the girl mentioned is the tallest building in this area, so it is easy to find.He has long legs and walks fast. He runs alone like a gust of wind in the narrow alleys with obstacles, and from time to time disturbs the stray cats and dogs lying on the roadside to watch the night.

A cat stepped on the ridge of the roof and accompanied him all the way to the noodle restaurant next to the telephone pole, then abandoned him and walked forward.

There were no customers in the noodle shop, and the middle-aged man sitting at the door washing dishes was arguing with the woman sitting behind the cashier in the shop. When the quarrel became intense, he overturned the large stainless steel basin full of dishes, and took the washing machine with him. The dishwashing water foamed with detergent immediately flowed down the slope.

Chu Xingyun took a step to the side, avoiding the sewage all over the floor, and walked into the store.

"No business!"

The proprietress yelled at him like that.

Chu Xingyun unhurriedly took out his ID card and waved it in front of them, asking, "Where is Sun Hai?"

The boss is an honest man, unlike a daughter-in-law who is aggressive and aggressive. When the police came to the door, he hurriedly said, "I rented my house. I will take you to find him. You should take him away."

"how?"

"This kid sneaks around all day long, and he can't be chased away. Someone looks for him every now and then, and a few more came just now—"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun put his hand on the boss's shoulder, and walked out with his arms around him: "Let's go, if you say a few more words, his life is almost gone."

Sun Hai lived in a ramshackle two-story self-built house right at the back door of the restaurant.From a long distance, Chu Xingyun found a few motorcycles parked on the side of the road, which made the already narrow alley even more congested.

"These motorcycles belong to that group?"

The boss said: "Yeah, a group of people are outrageous, and they look like gangsters."

Chu Xingyun thought to himself that you have never seen a real underworld, and the group of people who are sloppy can be considered hooligans at best.

He took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, and hung a decorative knife on it. He used the knife to puncture the front and rear tires of the three motorcycles, and walked towards one of the self-built houses pointed out to him by the boss. .

This group of buildings surrounded by self-built houses can be regarded as a residential area, but the layout is rather scattered. There is often a piece of simple bungalows between the two houses, which are specially built by the residents who own the homestead here for migrant workers. Sun Hai lived in the 'workers' dormitory'.

Chu Xingyun quickly found Sun Hai's residence. There was a dead end all over the inclined road. In the corner under the enclosure of the house, although it was not very messy, the maze-like movement was really annoying.

As soon as he approached the door, Chu Xingyun heard the sound of beating and beating coming from behind the rough-made wall, as well as the complicated footsteps of several people. He stepped lightly and walked to the window to look inside. The window was pulled from the inside The curtains were not drawn tightly, leaving a not-so-narrow gap, enough to see the whole interior.

This window should be in the bedroom. The door of the bedroom is wide open, and you can see the living room. Chu Xingyun saw a man walking around in Sun Hai's bedroom, and two figures walked past the door of the bedroom, falling on the ground. A pile of bedding.It seems they were looking for something and haven't found it yet.

Chu Xingyun stood outside the window and hesitated for a while to choose what method to attack, and soon found that no method could be used, so he had to force his way.

He knocked on the door, and heard the rustling in the room visibly lessened.

"Who?"

a man asked.

Chu Xingyun was looking for the weapon at his feet, and said: "Our house has no water, take a basin of water, brother."

The man scolded him to go away.

Chu Xingyun bent down and picked up a wooden stick more than half a meter long from the ground, held it in his hand to try the feel, nodded to show his satisfaction, raised his voice and began to mess around, and heard the sound of rummaging inside gradually recovered. These people have let down their guard.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching, so he shut his mouth, stood at the door and stretched his hands and feet a little.

The door was pulled open abruptly, and before the man who opened the door could utter a curse word, he hit his head with a stick, and fell on the open door as if blown down by a gust of wind.

Chu Xingyun's stick was unbiased and slanted on the left side of his head, connecting his ears. The strike was so ruthless that the end of the stick was broken immediately, and his brain was almost pulled out.

The man who had been hit by his stick collapsed on the ground as if he had passed out, and he would not be able to get up for a while.

"Woooo!"

As soon as the man blocking the door fell down, Chu Xingyun immediately saw Sun Hai lying in the living room. If he hadn't desperately called for help, he would have hardly recognized him.

Sun Hai was in such a miserable state, with blood all over his head and face, his hands were tied behind his back, and a towel was stuffed in his mouth.

The knocking sound at the door quickly alarmed several other people who were searching for the motive in the room. Chu Xingyun walked to Sun Hai and just lifted him up, when he saw five or six people running out of the room with knives in hand.

The corner of Chu Xingyun's eyes twitched, and he cursed in his heart!

He saw three motorcycles on the side of the road, and three figures outside the window. He thought there were only three people inside. Who knew there were people in the kitchen, and they were two riding a motorcycle!
