Chapter 36: Cause and Effect (Revised)

Qian Chenghe's situation is more complicated.

First of all, he is not as old as he looks on the outside. Don’t forget that he has a two-star disguise talent. His current appearance is actually just a disguise. Otherwise, he would not have said that he was still alive when he quarreled with Lin Zhengping.

decades.

In addition, he is actually a wanted criminal, a wanted criminal who deceived, abducted and even killed his own father.

What Xia Xu just said to him was seen from the background story of the Guanyin statue.

Of course, there were certain expansions and exaggerations. Although the introduction focused on describing the ins and outs of the Guanyin statue, the overall description was relatively brief. He expanded it with reasonable speculations, which was a fatal blow to Qian Chenghe.

But this is not all due to his words.

The fact that Qian Chenghe thought about buying a Buddha statue for his father after he made money shows that he still somewhat recognized his father, at least not to the extent of disowning him.

The subsequent patricide may have been mostly due to anger and impulsiveness. Of course, I am just talking about the reasons. In short, they are worse than the same beasts.

Now he is actually on the run, but according to the plot of The Dying Man, he actually took out the Guanyin Buddha statue when he returned to his hometown at the risk of being discovered. However, after moving it to his current residence, he suffered psychological torture day and night.

Only then was he ready to sell it.

From his actions, it cannot be seen that he still has self-blame and regret in his heart, but he has been looking for excuses to avoid facing it.

When Xia Xu had just completely unveiled his fig leaf, making it impossible for him to escape anymore, and even learned that his father's treasure was actually the Angong Niuhuang Pill that saved his life, he had been deceiving himself and others to support his "right" reasons.

It was untenable and eventually collapsed completely.

"……I'll buy."

After a long time, Qian Chenghe had cried enough, or maybe his heart was filled with despair.

He calmed down and spoke with difficulty. He struggled to straighten his upper body and took out a bank card from his pocket with a dazed and lonely expression: "There should be more than 500,000 yuan in this card. The password is six six. It's not my ID card."

It’s done, you can take it with confidence.”

After he finished speaking, he slowly put the bank card on the ground, and then stopped looking at Xia Xu and the others. He slowly gathered up the pieces of the Guanyin statue on the ground as if he was dying at dusk, and ignored the bloody stains on his hands.

"So generous?"

Xia Xu politely bent down and picked up the bank card.

Qian Chenghe did not respond immediately. He was silent for a moment, and then he said calmly: "If you can find out what happened more than ten years ago so clearly, you must be here for me. Anyway, you probably won't be able to find out more about it in this life."

It’s no longer useful.”

"I'm not stupid. Although my guess was a little wrong, the result is the same."

Xia Xu took out the notebook and pen from before, and while writing on it, he said: "Unfortunately, if you want to use this method to reduce your guilt, it is of no use, and don't you feel a bit self-deceiving? Why would you have known this?

At the beginning.”

"Have you ever tried drowning? A person who sinks in water will desperately grab even a straw."

The dull conversation between the two ended in silence.

"I prefer legal transactions. Do you mind signing again?"

After a while, Xia Xu finished writing and handed over a newly written transaction contract.

Qian Chenghe did not refuse, signed it, and directly pressed a fingerprint with the blood on his hand.

However, he did not return the notebook to Xia Xu. Instead, he tore off the newly signed transaction contract and put it into the inner pocket of his chest, pressed it against his body, and then wrote another copy exactly as it was.

To Xia Xu.

Xia Xu put away the notebook and saw that Qian Chenghe had no intention of running away, so he walked up to Xia Xue first and handed over the box of Angong Niuhuang Pills that was originally used to stimulate Qian Chenghe: "Here, this is the top

Thank you for this, and I apologize for what I just said."

"This is……"

Xia Xue was a little at a loss.

She was indeed very angry just now because Xia Xu spoke for a liar, especially since this person was someone she had helped before. Her indignation at being wronged and unworthy was simply indescribable.

But Xia Xu's subsequent behavior made her understand that things were not what she thought. At least Xia Xu was not really on the side of the old liar.

Lin Zhengping took the initiative to help explain: "Girl, this Angong Niuhuang Pill is very effective in treating comatose patients. You said before that your grandfather was admitted to the hospital with a cerebral hemorrhage. This medicine may have an effect."

"This...I will pay for it."

Xia Xue felt that it was not very good to accept other people's things for such a matter, but her grandfather's illness was obviously more important, so she only hesitated for an insignificant moment before taking the box and holding it tightly to her chest.

"You're not in a hurry about money, and you can't delay your illness. You'd better send it to your grandfather as soon as possible. Ask the doctor first if he can use it."

Xia Xu shook his head and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xue couldn't stand still. She rushed away anxiously and anxiously, but before leaving, she still asked for her contact information.

After taking care of Xia Xue, Lin Zhengping couldn't wait to come up again and looked at Xia Xu eagerly.

"Old man, I can't give this away for free. I'm a small business owner. I don't think you are in need of such a little money."

Xia Xu laughed and teased.

Lin Zhengping's title is a bit scary. The president of the Star City Antiques Association is by no means short of money.

What's more, the price of Angong Niuhuang Pills is actually not that outrageous. Aquamarine has not been demonized and hyped due to a special event. The real transaction price of Angong Niuhuang Pills is only tens of thousands of yuan based on the year and condition. This kind of

Packed in a carton, the market price is over RMB 10,000.

Without much effort, Lin Zhengping asked for five pills from Xia Xu without hesitation, and he insisted on keeping his promise and bought them for the full price of 30,000 pills.

"I'm sorry, boss, I was wrong and almost ruined your big event."

When Yang Bowen saw that Xia Xu had finished talking to Lin Zhengping, he mooted for a while and walked over with a look of shame on his face.

My boss has been looking for this old man at the construction site a long time ago, and he knows all about his crimes and even the contents of the Buddha statue in his hand. He must have planned to catch this old man and make a fortune along the way, safeguarding justice and making money.

Correct.

But because of his impulsiveness just now, everything almost came to nothing.

Especially after knowing the effect of Angong Niuhuang Pill, he is now terrified.

After all, the 'magic medicine' obtained from the Guanyin statue is related to the treatment of Laozi Lin's wife and the grandfather of the little girl just now.

Since the boss knew in advance that there was this in the Buddha statue, he must have planned to give it to or sell it to the two of them after buying it, so that their condition would be improved by then.

But if he had really driven the old fraudster away or sent him to the police station at that time, I'm afraid these two lives would have been lost.

After all, as soon as he set up a stall here, he was visited by a little girl, and she also learned that he almost killed his grandfather. He must have run away overnight after leaving, making it even more difficult to find him in the future.

As for being sent to the police station, the old man will never be released due to his crime. Even if the items set up at the stall are not confiscated as physical evidence, it is impossible for them to fall into their hands. Even if they can be obtained through some channels, I don’t know.

How long will it take? How can a person with a stroke or a cerebral hemorrhage be able to withstand the wait?

"Wait a minute, isn't this the reason why the boss has been emphasizing the legal transactions?"

Yang Bowen suddenly thought that whether he was buying a Buddha statue or buying a Buddha statue, the boss emphasized "legitimate transaction" and required a contract to be signed.

The boss probably had no intention of letting the old fraudster go from the very beginning, and was definitely going to send him to the police station. I'm afraid he was preparing for this by spending so much effort to buy the Buddha statue and sign the transaction contract.

After all, if the normal transaction hadn't been done in advance, the Buddha statue might have been counted as stolen evidence when the defrauding old man entered the police station. Even if it didn't work out, it would still be the old man's own assets and it would be impossible to give it to them.

(The last four chapters were written in a hurry. The plot framework was not done well, so many things were not explained in time. The feedback on the plot was also very bad. I have slightly changed it, mainly the narrative structure, and the canceled plot that Yang Bowen questioned. The rest of the changes

It’s not big, you can choose to look back or continue to follow the updates without affecting reading.)
