C148

The next night, Xiaolong went to the Tianxin Hotel as promised. He changed into the uniform of a waiter and began his work for the day.

Xiaolong could also be considered the birth of a rich second generation, but his family was in decline and he was reduced to poverty. In the past, he had always been served by others. Even when he moved into the slums, he had never deliberately served an outsider. He had always been self-sufficient. However, this discomfort was quickly wiped out because he was a highly adaptable person and now he only hoped that he could smoothly end today's work.

However, in reality, many times things went against one's wishes. It seemed as if the heavens loved to play tricks on people.

Xiao Long didn't want to meet the person he saw the most and he had nowhere to run to, because the entire hotel belonged to Lin Kai.

"You look quite handsome in this serving uniform!" Lin Kai welcomed Xiao Long with a face full of smiles. Everyone could tell that it was a sinister smile.

"Kai-ge, what can I do for you?" the dragon asked tentatively.

"I just wanted to come and see you." Lin Kai said, "You call me Big Brother Kai, I will buy you a drink, what do you think?"

"I have work to do." Xiao Long said with a serious expression.

"Work?" Lin Kai laughed, "I have the final say in this. I'll let you go for a holiday now, as long as you drink with me. You wouldn't disagree, would you? "

Xiaolong had no choice but to agree.

The two of them found a booth and sat opposite to each other. Lin Kai first placed a bottle of brandy in front of Xiao Long and said: "Come, drink it. Let me see how strong you are."

The brandy was a strong liquor, so Xiaolong naturally recognized it. He didn't have much alcohol, but he still grabbed the brandy in front of him with one hand and gulped it down after thinking for a while. Not long later, he drank all the wine as well, pouring it all into his stomach.

"Pa Pa Pa!" Lin Kai clapped his hands and praised, "Indeed, a hero comes out with a young man.

Xiao Long knew that Lin Kai was intentionally setting him up, but he could not help but ask: "Why don't you drink it?"

"Alright, since your alcohol tolerance is so good, then of course I'll be happy to accompany you." Lin Kai laughed sinisterly.

Xiao Long suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, as if he was drunk. He couldn't help but wonder, with his alcohol tolerance, if he was that bad, he would have just drunk a bottle of brandy and fallen down. In the next moment, he saw Lin Kai laughing strangely, but he couldn't hear his laughter. Afterwards, he laid on the table and lost consciousness.

After two hours, Xiao Fen arrived at the Heavenly Star Hotel and personally welcomed her. The two of them went upstairs, and on the way, Xiao Fen asked: "When did my father come over?"

"He's already here. We're waiting for him to call a meeting." Lin Kai replied.

"I want to see him now. Where is he?"

"Aren't I going to take you to see him?" Lin Kai shrugged his shoulders, "It's been a while since you guys last met, I knew that you must have a lot of things to say."

"As they were talking, the two of them were already walking down a long corridor." You'll see your father soon, up ahead. " Lin Kai pointed forward as he led the way.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud "bang". It sounded especially ear-piercing in the sealed passageway.

It was a gunshot! Lin Kai and Xiao Fen were both extremely shocked. Was that a gunshot? " Xiao Fen looked at Lin Kai in shock. "Not good!" Lin Kai sprinted forward and stopped in front of a slightly larger room. "It seems to have come from here!"

"Why are you so nervous?" Xiao Fen followed along, "Just get people to open it and see."

"How can I not be nervous? Your father is inside! " Lin Kai shouted.

"What did you say?" Xiao Fen could not believe her ears, and immediately shouted: "Hurry and open the door!" After she finished speaking, she knocked and shouted in front of the door, but there was no response from inside.

"Someone come quickly!" Lin Kai summoned all of his subordinates over, and in the end, he combined the power of two grown men and smashed the door open three times.

The door opened, and the scene inside immediately stunned the onlookers.

There was a man in his forties sitting in the room. His head was full of silver hair, and his white suit was dyed red with blood. His eyes were tightly shut, and it seemed like he had already died! Opposite him sat a young man with a pistol in his right hand. He was slowly standing up from his seat and his left hand was placed in front of his forehead.

"Daddy!" Xiao Fen cried out involuntarily. She was the first to rush forward and pounce in front of the white clothed man. She shook her father's body as she called out to him, but all she did was in vain. The man in front of her could no longer open her eyes and look at her.

"He … "Dead!" Lin Kai slowly walked over with a flabbergasted look.

"NO!" No! How could this be? "What happened?" Xiao Fen cried out in pain and hysterically shouted, "Who was it, and who killed you?"

"It's him!" Lin Kai pointed to the young man behind him, who was Li Xiaolong, "He is the murderer! Hurry, someone catch him! "

The subordinates standing by the door immediately rushed in and firmly held the dragon in place, preventing him from moving.

The little dragon seemed to wake up from a dream. It was still dizzy and a bit dazed. It was completely subdued without any resistance.

"Xiaolong?" Xiao Fen suddenly turned around, she stared at Xiao Long with tears in her eyes, and said involuntarily: "Xiao Long, my dad and you have no enmity, why do you … … Why did you kill him? "

The little dragon was already somewhat conscious. He saw a familiar and beautiful face with a pair of watery beautiful eyes staring at him. He could feel that her eyes were filled with despair and resentment. Xiao Long did not say anything, because he did not know what was going on. He could not tell what was happening around him.

"Say something!" Xiao Fen bit her lips and ruthlessly slapped Xiao Long's face.

The slap was so heavy that the dragon was now seventy percent conscious. At this time, he suddenly realized that he was being held up by two strong men. He was shocked at first, but then he slowly opened his mouth and asked, "Where is this place? You... What are you all doing? "

"What for?" Lin Kai continued, "You should be asking yourself! What do you think you're holding in your hand? "

Only then did Xiaolong lower his head to look. When he saw the gun in his right hand, he was surprised, but quickly threw the gun away. He then raised his head and said with frustration, "I don't know anything. What happened?"

"My father is dead. What did you say happened?" Xiao Fen said bitterly. You're the one who killed him! " Lin Kai added.

"I... I killed someone? " Only now did Xiaolong notice the white-clothed man who had died a long time ago. He immediately recalled the events that happened two hours ago and understood everything.

"I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone! " Xiao Long cried in injustice as he glared at Lin Kai ruthlessly, "Lin Kai, you … "You framed me!"

"I framed you?" Lin Kai said, "The room is locked from the inside, other than you, no one else can be the murderer. Everyone present heard the gunshot just now, so it's better for you to save some energy and prepare to defend yourself in court! "

"Lin Kai... You bastard! Son of a bitch! " Xiao Long had always hated Lin Kai, but now that he saw himself being framed by him, even if it was Buddha or not, he could not help but curse out loud.

Lin Kai mercilessly punched Xiao Long, right on his right cheek, and retorted, "You bastard, you kill someone yet you are still so arrogant! Take him down and hand him over to the police when they arrive! "

"Let me go! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone! " The little dragon screamed, but it was useless. He was being pushed out the door by someone else.

Xiao Fen watched as Xiao Long was taken away, and did not stop him, and then leaned on her father's body and cried bitterly. Lin Kai lightly patted her shoulder and consoled her, "You can't come back to life after you've died, stop mourning …"

What happened after that was all about the aftermath.

Xiao Fen's father could also be considered a big shot. Naturally, his death would be accompanied by a solemn funeral.

Life and death was a normal thing in life, but Xiao Fen's father had actually died a violent death. Other than feeling sorrowful, she also felt a deep unwillingness to die.

Right now, she was kneeling in front of his father's portrait, wearing a white robe as he silently mourned. At this time, Lin Kai walked over, stood by her side, and said slowly: "Let me tell you a piece of good news. According to the judgement of the court, Xiaolong's evidence is conclusive, and I believe that he will be convicted very soon.

"Is that so? I never understood why Xiaolong wanted to kill my father. I have never understood his motives. I have always felt that this was something impossible, yet it just happened. " Xiao Fen's expression did not change, and her indifferent tone was filled with unwillingness.

"Didn't I explain it to you? He drank a lot that night, and there may have been a quarrel in the conversation. Lin Kai was obviously impatient, "Why are you unwilling to accept reality?"

"I only accept the truth." Xiao Fen said, "There are too many doubtful points here, why would my father invite him to her room? There was no sign of a fight. Why was my father's gun in Xiaolong's hands? The strangest thing is, why does Xiaolong insist that he didn't kill anyone? "

"Please!" Lin Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Which murderer shouted that I was the one who killed him? Don't be so naive. Xiaolong is the killer of your father. To put it harshly, even if the Ministry of Justice were to punish him, so many of our brothers will not let him go.

"You still hate him so much. Are you happy when he dies?" Xiao Fen asked.

"These are two different things, don't be confused. In short, if he kills someone, he will pay with his life. Since ancient times, this has always been the norm!" Lin Kai said.

After Xiao Fen heard this, she did not argue any further.

Xiao Long had been reduced from a top student of a famous school to a suspect of murder, becoming a prisoner. This had also become the number one news item in the editors' clubs in He Wen City. Although many people believed that Xiao Long was innocent, including his teachers and classmates, no one could testify for him, including his best brother Tie Shan.

At this time, Tie Shan was with Xiao Long once again, but unlike usual, the two were separated by an icy cold iron window.

They met at the police station, but all they could do was look at each other through the window and talk on the phone.

"Xiaolong, you will be fine. I'm looking for a lawyer for you right now. I believe that the heavens have eyes. I will restore your innocence." Tie Shan said to Xiao Long.

"You don't need to find a lawyer for me. Even if you do, it will be in vain. They are deliberately trying to deal with me, so how can we poor people be able to defeat them?" "Listen to me, and don't spend money for me. If you can, I only hope that you can take care of my little sister for me. She is still young and a woman, so I don't trust her the most."

"No, I'm a gambler. If I don't go all out, I won't give up. If you want me to helplessly watch you walk onto the execution grounds without doing anything, then I …" I wouldn't be able to do it even if I were beaten to death! " Tie Shan's tone was as firm as a mountain.

"Shan, listen to me. Didn't you always listen to me? The decision I make will always make sense. You said it, did you forget? " "I'm not afraid of death, I'm even a little... I can't wait to see my mother soon... There are some things that I can't rest easy about. Other than my sister, there's also you. "

"My body is strong enough to kill a cow! What else do you have to worry about? Let's not talk about these nonsense. " Tie Shan said, "Why are you not thinking for yourself at all?"

"F * ck, this society doesn't survive just because we are strong. We are all poor and have to rely on ourselves. You should change your mind. Stop gambling, stop fighting with people, and …" "In the future, you can't copy my homework anymore. It's time to study your homework. If you keep failing like this, you'll definitely regret it in the future …"

Without waiting for Xiao Long to continue, Tie Shan interrupted him and said loudly: "Don't say anymore, I am not here to listen to your lecture. I, Tie Shan, am not one who regrets doing things! Let me ask you again, did you kill anyone? "

"Of course not!" Xiao Long blurted out, he was a little furious in his heart, he felt that those words should not come from Tie Shan.

"Of course I know you don't!" Tie Shan said, "But you are still willing to be wronged, and die as a scapegoat. Are you still a man? "Don't give up if you're a man. You have to let the whole world know that you're not the killer!"

"You think I don't want to?" "But the evidence is there, the fingerprints on the pistol, the chamber like a secret chamber, everything points to me as the murderer, and sometimes even I wonder if I killed someone by mistake."

"His grandfather!" Tie Shan clenched his teeth and cursed, "That bastard surnamed Lin, it was simply flawless, is there really no other way?"

"He's a bastard, but I can't deny that he's a smart person. I was tricked by him, so it's considered bad luck for me. I really have no other choice now." The little dragon said in despair.

"I really can't accept this! I'm just not willing to accept this on your behalf!" Tie Shan was agitated, his voice turning urgent.

"Tie Shan, you should go back first …" "I have no choice but to resign myself to fate. You don't have to do anything for me. If I die, then just treat me as your friend …" At the end of his words, he unconsciously choked up.

Tie Shan still wanted to say something, but an officer came over a long time ago to announce that the time was right and to invite him to leave.

Tie Shan had no choice but to bear with the pain of saying goodbye to Xiao Long, and bitterly left the police station with a heart as heavy as Mt.

In the blink of an eye, another two days had passed. The day of final judgment approached, and in the cell, Xiaolong had almost no hope. Then he heard heavy footsteps again, and one of the officers came straight up. He had a premonition that this time he would be brought before a court of law, and that once convicted, the only thing waiting for him would be the electric chair.

He leaned against the wall and looked up. He seemed to see the blue sky and white clouds, the beautiful smile of his mother in the air, and his worried sister. He muttered to himself, "Sister, I'm sorry …" "Sorry …" And then he said, "Mom, I'll be able to see you soon …" As he spoke, two streams of tears rolled down his face. This was the first time he cried since he was young. He never thought that this feeling would be so bitter and so heartbreaking.

"Xiaolong, please come out! Come with me!" The policeman opened the cell door and knocked on the iron pillar with his baton.

Xiaolong could only get up and walk out, following the policeman slowly.

After walking for some distance, Xiaolong felt that something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't we going to court?"

The policeman didn't answer immediately. After a while, he said, "Just come with me, don't ask so much."

Xiao Long felt a chill down his spine, thinking: Could it be that Lin Kai, that son of a bitch, can't wait any longer and wants to carry out the lynchings? His worries were quickly dispelled when he arrived at a simple and crude room. In the room sat a well-dressed middle-aged man, it was Mr. Yuan.

"It's you …" Xiao Long never dreamed that he would see the Mr. Yuan here.

"You guys can take your time." He turned away and slammed the door.

"Xiaolong, we meet again." Mr. Yuan gestured for Xiaolong to sit.

Xiao Long sat in front of Mr. Yuan for a while before asking curiously, "Why are you here?"

"Don't worry, I have found the best lawyer for you. After a round of investigation, your crime can't be established. I will bail you out soon." The Mr. Yuan said to Xiao Long with a smile on his face.

A big shot was actually so easy to get along with, and didn't have the slightest bit of overbearing arrogance. Xiao Long already had seventy percent of good feelings towards Mr. Yuan, even though he was probably the head of the underworld.

"Why are you helping me?" the dragon asked.

"I hope you can do something for me." The Mr. Yuan went straight to the point, it was extremely straightforward.

"Why did you choose me?" the dragon asked.

"Just answer me, Ken, or won't you?"

"I don't know you, and you don't know me. I think I have a reason to refuse." Xiao Long said.

"Awesome!" You don't care about your own life or death? " Mr. Yuan put away his smile, his tone was solemn.

"If you invite me in this way, I'm not too flattering." Xiao Long said honestly.

"Haha …" Mr. Yuan suddenly laughed, stood up and said: "Don't worry, since I've decided to help you, I will definitely help you to the end. This is my name card. Regardless of whether or not you are willing to join us, as long as you are tired, you can come and find me anytime. " As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xiaolong.

Xiao Long received it. He glanced at it and randomly put it away, replying, "Thank you for your help. You are my benefactor. I will consider your suggestion."

"Good, I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first." Mr. Yuan had only taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and said to Xiao Long, "In two days, before two days have passed, you will be free again. Please trust me."

Xiao Long nodded, and said: "Goodbye Mr. Yuan!" After that, he stayed alone in his room, unable to calm down the thoughts in his heart for a long time. There were still many unknowns about the future of life. In this strange and unpredictable society, there were still many things waiting for Xiaolong to explore. Regardless, at this moment, he had picked up his new hope. Many things could only be answered correctly by time.
