The dim light of the street lamp reflected the remnant snow, forming mottled fragments in the eyes of the running Chen Jiheng, like a shaking camera lens in a movie.

Many years later, when Chen Jiheng settled down, he would occasionally recall everything that night uncontrollably, but he couldn't think clearly, and the confusion was like a nightmare.

The street was very quiet, and he couldn't even see a taxi. He ran in the snow for nearly half an hour before he could see the gate of the material factory from a distance.

Chen Jiheng didn't know where Sun Jianjun and the others sneaked in, hesitated for a second on the two forks, then ran to the left decisively, calling Sun Jianjun's name in a low voice while running.

Sun Jianjun jumped from the tree, and when he landed, he was still surprised to see Chen Jiheng: "Damn, why are you here?"

Chen Jiheng's pale face looked like a ghost under the moonlight. He gasped and shouted nervously: "Go, go! Something happened!"

"What... what?" Sun Jianjun didn't realize it all at once.

"Something went wrong." Chen Jiheng slightly raised his voice, as sharp as a steel wire in the cold air, "Where's Da Luo and the others?"

Sun Jianjun pointed to the high courtyard wall: "Go in, I'll keep watch. What happened?"

The white breath exhaled by Chen Jiheng trembled slightly in the wind: "Call them out quickly! The factory has already called the police and said they will come to arrest you tonight!"

"Ah?" Sun Jianjun was stunned, "Report...the police..."

Chen Jiheng was so anxious that he almost slapped him: "What are you still doing? Call them!"

At this moment, there were several shouts in the dark night: "Don't move! Don't move!" The bright lights shone directly on their faces, and Chen Jiheng and Sun Jianjun's eyes were stabbed so hard that they couldn't open their eyes, and they hurriedly stretched out their hands to cover them.A few people sprang out from nowhere, stepped forward and pressed the two of them into the snow.

Sun Jianjun yelled while struggling: "Da Luo - run, run!" A person behind him laughed and said, "Damn it, it's still yelling at this time." Sun Jianjun was punched on the back of the neck. .

Chen Jiheng was angry and embarrassed, and shouted: "What are you doing? You caught the wrong person!"

"Shut up! You're the one who got caught!"

Hearing two soft "kaka" sounds, Chen Jiheng felt as if two ice cubes had fallen on his wrist, and his heart sank suddenly—it was handcuffs.Chen Jiheng never imagined that one day he would be put on that thing like a villain in a movie. He blushed with a strong sense of humiliation and shame, and shouted loudly: "Let me go! I didn't steal it!" thing!"

"What are you doing here without stealing anything?" A person came up and slapped him, "You are still sophistry if you don't learn well at a young age?"

There was a buzzing in Chen Jiheng's head, his eyes turned black, he raised his head and stared at that person with wide eyes, wishing he could pounce on him and bite him hard.

The man was in his twenties, with an angry expression on his face, and scolded with a smile: "Yo, you're not short-tempered, hurry up and get in the car, you'll see me later!" Without giving Chen Jiheng a chance to speak, he pushed and shoved him Get in the police car.

There were also Luo He and several other accomplices inside, and they were surprised to see Chen Jiheng.Roch asked, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Jiheng was so angry that he tilted his head and said nothing. Sun Jianjun said in a low voice, "He heard that he wanted to arrest us, so he came to inform us."

The two big caps got into the car and scolded: "Shut up, don't talk!"

Luo He was silent for a moment, then suddenly said loudly: "He is not one of us, you have arrested the wrong person!"

"Shut up, shut up!" the big caps yelled, "Go back to the police station, shut up!"

Chen Jiheng pursed his lips tightly, and there was a turbid air in his chest surging back and forth.Sun Jianjun and the others handcuffed their hands behind their backs, lowered their heads and remained silent; Luo He leaned back on his seat with a look of indifference; Chen Jiheng stared at the young man beside him who had slapped him.

The guy was stared straight at him. He had never seen such a "criminal". He seemed to be more confident than his big cap. He looked Chen Jiheng up and down: "What's the matter? Are you still not convinced?"

Chen Jiheng showed a sneer and sat back slowly.

When the car arrived at the police station, several people were pushed and pulled down again. When they entered the door, they saw a man squatting in a corner with his waist slumped. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head and saw that it was grass.

Luo He immediately understood everything, jumped up and kicked his legs hard, gnashing his teeth and cursed: "Fucking little bastard, how dare you betray me?!"

Tiancao was kicked into a ball, not daring to say a word.The big caps rushed up and pulled Roch away: "What are you doing? Sit down, sit down!" They forced Roch down on the worn-out wooden chair.

Then the handcuffs were removed and interrogated in turn. Luo He and Sun Jianjun confessed to the theft, including the previous two, but they all said that Chen Jiheng had never participated in it, and this time he just happened to pass by.

The big cap is funny: "Passing by the gate of the material factory in the middle of the night? You think we are fools. Be honest!"

In the end, I had no choice but to tell the truth. Chen Jiheng came to report the news, and the big caps took notes while listening.Tian Cao stood up suddenly, pointed at Chen Jiheng and said sharply: "There is him! He was there the last two times! He stole it with us!"

"You fucking fart!" Luo He was so angry that he picked up the stool and smashed his head at it, causing Tiancao to hug his head with a "Oh my god" in fright.Several big caps rushed forward and hugged Luo He, yelling: "Sit down, be honest with me! Is this where you play wild?!"

The case was tried for a whole night, and Chen Jiheng was very calm from the beginning to the end.He answered the big cap's questions in an orderly manner, but his eyes flicked to the little policeman who slapped him from time to time.When Tian Cao was furious, Chen Jiheng frowned, and Big Block asked him again: "Have you not participated?"

Chen Jiheng said: "No." Then he stopped talking.

They signed the statement and pressed the finger film. After dawn, they were pulled into the police car and taken to the detention center.

Surrender everything, including belts, at the gate of the detention facility.This is a place where criminal suspects are detained. In fact, it is not much different from a prison, with the same strict barriers and high power grids.At that time, Chinese laws were not yet sound, and the existence of criminal suspects was not recognized. As long as you were arrested, you were a criminal, and you were not far from being sentenced.Unlike foreign countries, as long as the judge does not think he is guilty, he is a normal citizen who can enjoy various rights.The difference between the two can be basically seen during the trial. The defendants in foreign courts wear suits, but in China they wear vests that mark the identity of the criminals.

The facilities in the detention center are very simple. They are all bungalows, divided into a dozen or so rooms.Chen Jiheng and the others were divided into four groups. He, Sun Jianjun, Luo He and a companion named Qian Gu were assigned to one room.Luo He has been staring at Tiancao, Tiancao is like a mouse under the eyes of a cat, shrinking his head and not daring to make a sound.It's a pity that perhaps the police had explained that Tian Cao was not locked up in their cell.Chen Jiheng felt that if they were locked together, maybe Luo He could beat him to death.

Chen Jiheng was also a little nervous when he first entered the cell. He had never been to such a dirty place, and he had never even heard of it.These are too far away from his life, as far away as another world.He never dreamed that one day he would step here and mix with such a group of people.

However, Chen Jiheng was still very calm, because he had a clear conscience, he believed that the police would always find out the truth of the matter, and maybe they would release him tomorrow.

The room No. 30 is not big, only fifteen or sixteen square meters. There is a large bunk in the middle, and there are seven or eight men standing there, each in their [-]s and [-]s, with fleshy faces, all looking at Luo He and the others who are newcomers.

Chen Jiheng and the others are all high school students, eighteen or nineteen years old, and Luo He is the oldest, only in his early twenties. Compared with the gangsters in front of him, they are obviously at a disadvantage.Sun Jianjun was the first to shrink his neck, and quietly took a step back, Qian Gu also backed away, only Luo He was still standing there.

To be honest, Chen Jiheng felt apprehensive seeing the imminent fight. He has always been good at both character and learning, and he has never seen such a battle.When Luo He and the others went out to fight in groups, he never participated in it once.But he has read too many history books, and he knows that this is called meeting on a narrow road. If you retreat, they will enter, so he can only bite the bullet and rush forward.

Standing beside Luo He, Chen Jiheng didn't see anything unusual except that his breathing was a little short.

The room was very quiet, and for more than a minute, a man of medium build in the middle of the room smiled and said, "Okay, little brat, you still have some guts." It seems that he is the boss of the group. , No one else dared to open his mouth.

Luo He ignored him, and said to Chen Jiheng: "Go, you've been tossing all night, and rest on the kang." He spoke to Chen Jiheng, but his eyes never left the boss opposite.

Chen Jiheng pushed Sun Jianjun, and the three of them quietly walked to the kang and sat down against the wall.The pungent sour smell from the prisoners' bedding made Chen Jiheng a little sick.He thought of his parents and sister, and he sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night, wondering if they would be in a hurry?At this moment, the police station should have called them, and the school should have heard about it. I wonder what they will think of me?

Chen Jiheng smiled wryly, rubbed the center of his brows, stayed up all night, dizzy and dizzy, and felt so uncomfortable all over.

Sun Jianjun was full of guilt, and said quietly: "Why don't you lie down and sleep for a while."

After those people walked onto the kang, Luo He looked away and walked slowly to the bed.The boss put his hands on his chest and sneered.

Just as they were about to lie down, there was a knocking sound from the iron gate, and the administrator shouted, "Get up, everyone! No sleep during the day!"

Chen Jiheng and the others had no choice but to get up again, leaning against the wall and taking a nap.

After a while, there was another sound of footsteps outside, which turned out to be eating.The food is pretty good, with rice, steamed buns, and two kinds of vegetables.It's just that the porridge is so boiled that you can see people's shadows, but you can't see the rice grains, and there is still an indescribable taste.The portion of the dish is small, finished in a few bites, the steamed buns are mixed noodles, for two people.Chen Jiheng took a sip of porridge, frowned, and put it aside.Sun Jianjun was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he picked up Chen Jiheng's bowl: "Aren't you going to drink? If you don't drink, I can drink it."

Chen Jiheng shook his head.Sun Jianjun opened his mouth wide and gurgled, and drank half of the bowl in one go, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.He picked up the steamed bun and was about to stuff it in his mouth when someone snatched it away.Looking up, it was a young man as thin as a monkey, who grabbed the steamed bun and gave it to the boss with both hands respectfully.

The thin monkey wanted to snatch Luo He, but Luo He dodged it with a flash of his arm.Luo He didn't look at the thin monkey, but only looked at the boss.The boss took a bite of the steamed bun and ate it slowly.

The other person crossed his hands and said, "Hurry up and hand it in, this is the rule, so act quickly."

Chen Jiheng didn't make a sound or move, and looked at Luo He with his eyes.

Luo He sneered, picked up the steamed buns in the bowl, and handed them over.The man said: "That's about the same." He winked at the thin monkey.The thin monkey came to take it, but suddenly Luo He retracted his arm, took a big bite, and removed two-thirds of the steamed bun.

This action had a provocative meaning of playing tricks on people. The man stared, spat, and cursed: "Damn." Handed the rice to the thin monkey, "You take it." He stepped forward and was about to shake his fist.

The boss suddenly said: "Weasel, I don't need you, I will do it myself." Then he stood up slowly.The people over there hid at the foot of the kang with a rice bowl, and a large kang shop flashed out.Chen Jiheng and Sun Jianjun followed suit, and Chen Jiheng leaned into Luo He's ear and said, "Be careful."

Luo He took off his upper body clothes, exposing his strong arms and chest, and nodded at the boss: "Come on."

It wasn't long before the boss came in. He just defeated the other people in the cell. He thought that the other party was just a kid, and he didn't pay much attention to him.But seeing Luo He's posture of undressing, he felt a little regretful and felt that he was reckless.

Fighting is not much different from fighting a war. The momentum is very important. If you waver in your heart, you have already lost.

This was the first time in Chen Jiheng's life that he saw two men fighting with real knives and real guns. It was not a fake way of frightening people by roadside gangsters. They could even hear the muffled groans of pain clearly. ferocious.The two men raised their eyebrows and looked ferocious, like two enraged beasts, determined to bite each other to death.

The fight didn't last long. With great strength, Luo He hit the other party paralyzed on the big kang with the force of smashing the shovel, and beat him hard, as if there was some deep hatred, and the sound of his fist hammering on the flesh was chilling.Sun Jianjun covered his eyes with his hands, unable to bear the sight.

Panting heavily, Luo He straightened his back, and looked at the people opposite him one by one with his blade-like cold eyes.That group of people kept their faces blank, like a group of docile sheep, crawled from the other side of the kang to this one, and automatically and consciously put the steamed buns in the bowl in front of Luo He.On the other end, only the moaning "boss" was left, his face was covered with blood, and he was half dead.

This is the best portrayal of the law of the jungle, and the cruel and bloody scene has been remembered by Chen Jiheng for many years.When he later learned that Luo He had become the boss of the underworld, he was not surprised at all in S City.Luo He is such a person, he has a cruel and sadistic nature in his bones.

Perhaps Chen Jiheng also has this kind of essence, but one is exposed outside and the other is hidden in his heart, which determines their different directions and different futures.
