In a hotel room in City S, five people were sitting, four men and one woman.
Five people were sitting around the sofa, all with their heads lowered, thinking about things, and their expressions were very solemn. Three of the men were smoking one after another. The ashtrays in front of them were filled with cigarette butts.
There was a choking smell of smoke.
The five of them are all young, only in their twenties at most. The woman among them is average in appearance and figure, and her skin is not fair as is common among city dwellers, but is rather dark.
At this time, she was frowning and looking at the three men sitting opposite her. They were holding burning cigarettes in their hands. Obviously, women did not smoke and hated the smell of cigarettes. However, she did not
After speaking out to stop them from smoking, the woman's eyes swept over the four men one by one, as if she was confirming something. And just like the woman, the other four people were also looking at each other, as if they wanted to
You have to read something on the other person's face.
The room was very quiet. Apart from the slight sound of the air conditioner running, there were only the occasional coughs of men and the sizzling sound of burning cigarettes. The atmosphere was very depressing and strange.
One of the men, wearing a suit and tie, looking like a white-collar worker, spoke first.
"He's dead."
As soon as the man said this, the other three men who were smoking suddenly stopped smoking, looked at each other, and as soon as their eyes touched each other, they quickly moved away, and then continued to smoke. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
, but they all took a deep puff of the cigarette, and then exhaled a puff of smoke that was so rich that it could not be dissolved.
"Chen Wang, did you kill him?"
The man's eyes swept over the faces of the four people one by one. Finally, he stared at a dark-skinned man wearing a plaid shirt and asked.
The man named Chen Wang, after hearing the man's question, threw the newly lit cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, stood up suddenly, stared at the man, and shouted loudly
: "Chen Zhen, what do you mean? If he is dead, what does it have to do with me?"
Chen Zhen raised his head and looked at the excited Chen Wang. His eyes were cold and his tone was still unhurried and he said: "Before he died, you were the last person to deliver goods to him."
"Based on this, you say I killed him? Are you kidding me? What reason do I have to kill him?"
Chen Wang was like a provoked lion, glaring at Chen Zhen, as if if the other party didn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would rush forward and give him a fatal blow.
"Haha...you know why you want to kill him, and we all know it too."
Facing Chen Wang's accommodating eyes, Chen Zhen didn't care at all and said calmly.
Hearing this, Chen Wang's pupils shrank suddenly, and his expression began to change drastically. He opened his mouth several times, wanting to refute something, but he didn't speak. Finally, he seemed to have thought of something, looked at Chen Zhen and said: "
Don't just talk about me. If I have a reason to kill him, then don't you also have a reason? And you."
When saying this, Chen Wang turned his eyes to the four people present.
Hearing what Chen Wang said, everyone else looked at each other, and then they all lowered their heads and their expressions began to change. It seemed that Chen Wang was right.
Chen Zhen's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. He glanced at the other three people, and finally, he fixed his gaze on Chen Wang and sighed.
"Hey...so you didn't kill him?"
"Who knows who killed him, but I didn't do anything."
Chen Wang pouted, sat down again, then picked up the cigarette case from the table, took out a cigarette from it, lit it again, and started smoking.
As Chen Wang sat down, the room became silent again, and the depressing atmosphere became more and more depressing. It seemed that everyone was worried.
After waiting for a while, the woman found that no one spoke, so she spoke.
"What should we do next? The police have already intervened in the investigation."
"Don't worry, it's okay. The police won't suspect us for the time being."
Chen Zhen looked at the shiny and spotless coffee table and said with a blurred look in his eyes.
"Don't worry? How can we be reassured? I went to that place before he died. My face must have been captured on the surveillance video. The police will definitely suspect me. I don't care. I want to leave here before the police find me.
Before I go, I have to leave."
Chen Wang spoke again. He was very excited. He didn't know whether it was because he was suspected by Chen Zhen just now or because he heard that the police were involved in the investigation. His expression was very anxious.
"Let's go? Where can you go?"
Chen Zhen looked at Chen Wang, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, showing a sarcastic expression.
Chen Wang didn't look at Chen Zhen. He smoked heavily and said, "I can go anywhere. Anyway, I want to leave this place."
"Oh, you are in such a hurry to leave, could it be that you really killed him?" Chen Zhen said with deep meaning.
"Fuck you, how many times do you have to tell me, I didn't kill the person, and his death has nothing to do with me." Chen Wang became furious again, and he stared at Chen Zhen.
"Since you didn't kill the person, why are you running away in such a hurry?" Chen Zhen said in a calm tone.
"Fuck, you are standing and talking without pain. I was the one who made the last delivery. None of you have been to that place. I am the only one who has been. The police will definitely suspect me. I am not afraid that I am waiting to be arrested.
If I am caught, none of you will be able to escape."
At the end of the sentence, Chen Wang's tone became very gloomy.
As soon as Chen Wang said this, the faces of the other people suddenly became very ugly.
, and Chen Zhen's expression also changed for the first time. He looked at Chen Wang, his eyes were very cold, without any emotion, and said word by word: "Are you threatening us?"
"It's not a threat. I'm just stating a fact. I don't want to be caught or go to jail." Chen Wang looked at Chen Zhen without showing any weakness and said firmly.
Chen Zhen was not talking, but stared at Chen Wang for a long time. It was not until Chen Wang felt uncomfortable that he asked: "You really didn't kill me?"
"No, no, although I really wanted to kill that fat pig, I really didn't kill him." Chen Wang tried his best to explain.
"Since you didn't kill him, then who killed him?"
As Chen Zhen spoke, he turned his attention to the woman sitting next to him.
When the woman saw Chen Zhen looking at her, she quickly shook her head and said, "It's not me, I've never been there."
Chen Zhen squinted his eyes and took a deep look at the woman, seeming to believe what she said. Then, he shifted his gaze and looked at the little man sitting next to Chen Wang who was smoking.
The little man noticed Chen Zhen's gaze. He exhaled a puff of smoke and said lightly: "It's not me."
Chen Zhen looked at the little man for a few seconds, frowned, and finally turned his attention to the tall man sitting in the corner who had been silent.
The tall man held a cigarette in his hand. However, the cigarette was not lit. Instead, he put it in his mouth and chewed it bit by bit. When he saw Chen Zhen looking at him, he rolled his eyes lazily.
He said proudly: "Don't look at me, I just came here today."
Chen Zhen looked back and forth on the faces of the four people. At this time, he felt that these four people were very suspicious and they were all his murderers. However, it seemed that they were not the murderers. This made Chen Zhen feel very confused. He temporarily
It is impossible to be sure whether what they said is true, but one thing is certain, he did not kill him, and he did die, and he died miserably.
If what they said is true and the man was not killed by one of the five of them, then who killed him?
The scene fell silent again, and the atmosphere became increasingly depressing.
"Boom..."
About ten minutes later, after Chen Wang finished smoking one cigarette, he picked up another cigarette and lit it. However, the lighter could not light up. Chen Wang was so angry that he threw the lighter on the coffee table with a crisp sound.
, startled the other four people, and they all raised their heads and looked at Chen Wang.
Chen Wang stood up again, put the cigarette in his mouth between his ears, glanced at the four people, and said: "Anyway, he is dead. I don't care which one of you killed him. In short, I want to leave here.
I don’t want to be caught. If you want to help, please help. If you don’t want to help, just give me my share of the money. I want to leave, and no one of you can stop me. Otherwise, I will get angry with you."
After saying this, Chen Wang took a deep look at several people, turned around and walked towards the door.
When he walked to the door and was about to open the door, Chen Wang stopped, turned his head, looked at Chen Zhen and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will see my share of the money, otherwise... you understand."
After saying this, Chen Wang opened the door and walked out.
"Bang."
After Chen Wang walked out, the door slammed again.
The faces of Chen Zhen and the other four suddenly turned ugly. The other three looked at the closed door, then turned to look at Chen Zhen, as if they wanted to hear what he had to say.
Chen Zhen didn't speak. He stared at the closed door, his face gloomy, his eyes narrowed to a slit, emitting a dangerous light, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched violently.
There was another moment of silence. Chen Zhen slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at the others. He did not immediately say what to do next, but asked: "What about you? Do you want to be like him and leave with your money?"
The three people looked at each other. The little man stopped smoking, and the tall man stopped chewing. They exchanged glances quickly, and finally looked at Chen Zhen.
The little man was the first to speak: "Now that he is dead, and the police are involved in the investigation, we will definitely not be able to ship the goods in the near future. Chen Wang is right, we should really go to avoid the limelight, and we will come back when things calm down.
"
"You mean, you plan to split the money and leave?" Chen Zhen said, squinting at the little man.
"Um."
The little man nodded.
Chen Zhen looked at the little man for a while. The little man didn't look at Chen Zhen, but lowered his head and continued to smoke.
Chen Zhen turned his head again, looked at the woman, and asked, "What about you?"
"I don't care. Anyway, just give me the share I deserve." The woman said calmly.
Finally, Chen Zhen looked at the man who had been chewing tobacco and asked, "What about you?"
The tall man raised his head, glanced at Chen Zhen, leaned back, leaned on the sofa, and said slowly: "The uncle asked me to tell you that you should calm down recently. The city police have gone to the village to investigate. As for the
I don’t care what you do, I haven’t said anything. In short, just don’t make any mistakes, otherwise..."
The tall man did not continue talking, but continued to chew tobacco leaves.
When they heard the tall man talking about the uncle, the pupils of the small man, as well as the women, including Chen Zhen, shrank violently. They seemed to be afraid of this uncle, even if he was not here now.
Chen Zhen no longer had the aggressive aura just now, and leaned back on the sofa. He no longer looked at the three people present, but looked at the door and said lightly: "The goods must not be released anymore. The previous goods must not be released anymore."
It’s almost done, I’ll send the money back in the next two days.”
"That's good." The tall man nodded and said.
"What about Chen Wang? Do you really plan to split the money?" the woman looked at Chen Zhen and asked.
The little man also looked at Chen Zhen, waiting for the answer.
Chen Zhen thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "The business will definitely not be able to continue for the time being, but we must not break up. As for the money, don't worry, you will not lose a penny."
Speaking of this, Chen Zhen paused for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and continued: "That guy Chen Wang is right. He has a criminal record in the Public Security Bureau, and he was the last person to deliver the goods. The police are sure
He will be found soon, and keeping him will sooner or later be a disaster."
Hearing this, the three of them were shocked and looked at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"What do you mean?" The little man turned his head, looked at Chen Zhen, and asked tentatively.
Chen Zhen glanced sideways at the little man, nodded, and said, "What we do affects many people. We can't do bad things just because of him alone. And he has been exposed, so there is no need to exist anymore."
The three people looked at each other again. Their originally shocked eyes had returned to normal at this moment, and a violent aura filled their eyes.
"Who's going?"
Chen Zhen sat up straight and looked at the three people.
The three of them looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything. Chen Zhen, who looked at the three of them, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Forget it, I'll handle Chen Wang's matter, I'd better think about it first."
How should we handle his affairs?"
"Anyway, he is dead and can't speak anymore. He will definitely not tell anyone about our affairs. There is nothing to worry about. The police are investigating, so just let them investigate. It just so happens. I think so too.
Know who killed him." The woman said.
Hearing what the woman said, the other two people also nodded. Obviously, they thought so too.
Chen Zhen shook his head and said, "If the police only investigate the matter of his killing, everything will be easy to explain. I'm worried..."
"Are you worried that the police will find out about us and know what we have done?" the little man asked.
Chen Zhen glanced at the little man and nodded.
The little man smiled and said: "Don't worry, it won't be. We have been doing this for so long and the police have no suspicion. Now it's just a person who died. What's there to worry about? Besides, even if the police investigate,
We will only investigate based on his information. Didn't Xiaomiao just say that the police went to his hometown to investigate his matter today? There is an uncle there, and he will handle these matters well. I guarantee that those policemen will know everything.
If you can’t find it, don’t worry.”
Hearing what the little man said, Chen Zhen thought for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head, his expression still very solemn.
"What's wrong? Are you worried that there will be a problem with the uncle? No." The little man said to comfort him.
Chen Zhen still shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about the uncle."
"What's there to worry about?" the woman asked.
Chen Zhen did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he looked at the tall man and asked: "How many police officers are there to investigate in my hometown? What are their names?"
"Oh, there are only two of them, one boy and one girl. They are both young, only in their early thirties. The girl has a baby face and I don't know her name. The boy's name is Xu Lang."
"Xu Lang?"
Upon hearing this name, Chen Zhen's pupils shrank violently. He looked at the tall man and asked, "Does he have long, snow-white hair?"
The tall man thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes, what's the matter?"
Chen Zhen didn't speak. His expression that had just relaxed became solemn again. He shook his head and said to himself: "I hope there won't be any problems on my side."
"Hey, don't worry. You don't know who the uncle is. He has eaten more salt than we have eaten. Nothing will happen to him. Besides, I glanced at the two policemen from a distance.
I didn't see anything special. I probably just asked about the situation. Don't worry. Instead of worrying about these things here, you might as well think about how to deal with the current situation and Chen Wang's matter." said the tall man.
.
Hearing what the tall man said, Chen Zhen thought about it and nodded, feeling that he was right. He should really think about how to deal with the current situation now.
When the tall man saw that Chen Zhen was not saying anything, he stood up and said, "Come up with a solution as soon as possible. I'll leave first. The uncle is still waiting for me to go back."
After saying this, the tall man walked towards the door.
After the tall man stood up and left, the woman also stood up and said, "In that case, I'm leaving too. I've had the room open for three days. If you need anything, just call the front desk."
The woman also left, leaving only the little man and Chen Zhen in the room.
The little man looked at Chen Zhen, hesitated, and then asked: "Do we really want to attack Chen Wang? After all, he is..."
Before the little man could finish speaking, Chen Zhen glared at the little man and said, "It's time for you to leave. Get rid of the remaining goods quickly."
Hearing what Chen Zhen said, the little man hesitated to speak. In the end, he stood up and left the room without saying anything.
Chen Zhen was the only one left in the room. He was sitting on the sofa, looking at the closed door. His expression changed rapidly. There was deep worry in his eyes, and there was also a violence that could not be hidden no matter what.
gas.
"Damn bastard, he will die sooner or later, but he died at this time, so damn..."
Chen Zhen murmured to himself, stood up, and left the room. The room that was full of people just now suddenly became empty, as if no one had ever come in.
