Xingnian Tea House

Qiao Xingnian looked at the young man in front of him with a sneer. He has never been a soft-hearted man, and his good temper depends on whom he treats. What happened these days has completely worn out his patience. He will use his own way to punish those who try to who hurt him.

"What's the matter? What happened?" The boss noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the door, and walked out strangely.

Qiao Xingnian said nonchalantly, "I don't know what's wrong with this person, he seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. Does the boss know him?"

The boss turned his head to look at the young man, stepped up and called out, "Liu Bing, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Bing's eyes rolled, but his head didn't move. He looked at him with a half-smile, his strange appearance startled the boss, and he took a step back involuntarily.

Afterwards, the corners of Liu Bing's mouth went up stiffly, and he grabbed the boss's neck with such force that even the boss was big and thick, he couldn't break free for a while.

Seeing the boss's face turning blue, Qiao Xingnian seemed to have suddenly regained consciousness, and stepped forward to help the boss, trying to pull Liu Bing away.

Liu Bing looked at the boss viciously and said, "I will kill you, I will kill you!"

It took a lot of effort for the two of them to pull Liu Bing away, and they were so tired that they were panting heavily.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bing took a look and passed out, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian hurriedly said, "Boss, you saw it. It doesn't matter to me that he passed out."

The boss was a little overwhelmed, bent over and gasped for breath, and said, "I can prove that this has nothing to do with you, thank you for saving me just now. Damn, I was almost strangled to death by him."

Qiao Xingnian pretended not to know and asked: "Boss, what is your relationship with him? Why does he hate you so much?"

"He's my brother-in-law. He helps me with the work in the store. He usually looks good. I don't know what happened to him today. He came here suddenly." The man was also very puzzled.

Qiao Xingnian nodded, and said, "Then let's take him to the hospital. The appearance just now was really scary."

Everything just now was manipulated by Qiao Xingnian. He just wanted to teach the young man a lesson, and the lesson was more than that. He would not be able to speak for the next three days.

The boss took out his mobile phone and called an ambulance. Qiao Xingnian didn't stay any longer and turned to leave.

Tao Hui has been following Qiao Xingnian all the time, but in the form of a soul, because he has a spell on his body, he is not afraid of the sun at all, and said: "Boss, what did that guy see, why does he look guilty?" The way things look."

Qiao Xingnian smiled faintly, and said, "With such a character, is it strange to do something wrong?"

"It's not surprising." Tao Hui glanced in the direction of the store door and said, "Boss, if you want me to say that you should ban him for life, see if he dares to talk nonsense in the future. Three days is too little, I'm afraid he won't long memory."

"Today's illusion brought back the secret buried in his heart. From now on, he will only live in fear. This is his punishment."

Tao Hui curled his lips and said, "Well, it's really cheap for him."

One person and one ghost took a taxi home. As soon as they arrived downstairs in the community, they saw several young people standing in the shadow outside the unit building, talking in a low voice.When they saw Qiao Xingnian coming back, they all stood up straight, picked up their phones provocatively, pointed at Qiao Xingnian and started recording videos.

"Everyone, come and see, this is our big internet celebrity. With your looks and temperament, you are a good candidate for a small subject. No wonder you can hug such thick thighs."

Qiao Xingnian walked straight towards them.Seeing him approaching, several people took a step back with some guilt, but they felt that there were too many of them, so they went forward to greet him.

The boy who took the photo intentionally hit Qiao Xingnian on the face with his mobile phone, and said provocatively, "Damn pervert, if you want to leave the country so much, then I'll let you do it!"

Qiao Xingnian grabbed the boy's cell phone directly, and with his fingers hard, the cell phone was crumpled into a ball like paper.When Qiao Xingnian walked over, a phantom formation had already been set up around him, and no one could see what happened between them, except of course Tao Hui.

Everyone stared blankly, swallowed unconsciously, and fear flashed in their eyes.

The boy said sternly, "You...what do you want?"

Qiao Xingnian sneered, and said, "Your mouth is so stinky, your tongue must be like shit, don't worry about it."

After Qiao Xingnian finished speaking, he reached out and pinched the boy's chin. The boy wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all. He could only watch helplessly as Qiao Xingnian's hand reached into his mouth and pulled his tongue out.

"It really stinks!"

As soon as Qiao Xingnian pulled out the boy's tongue forcefully, blood gushed out wildly, splashing blood all over his head and face.

The others were stunned by the scene in front of them. They looked in horror at Qiao Xingnian, whose face was covered with blood, holding a bright red tongue that was still dripping blood.

Qiao Xingnian looked over and threw his tongue on the face of the girl closest to him. The girl screamed in fright and tried desperately to run, but her body was completely out of control, so she could only watch helplessly as her tongue hit the face. The warm touch and stench on her face made her retch.

"It's the same with you, your mouth is too smelly, so don't use your tongue."

Qiao Xingnian would walk forward slowly, and everyone shouted desperately, wanting to call for help, but outsiders couldn't hear them at all, so they could only let Qiao Xingnian throw their tongues one by one on the ground like garbage.Suddenly a small dog came running, followed by a pack of dogs, and they rushed at their tongues, gnawing frantically.

Tao Hui watched from the side, he knew that this was all an illusion, Qiao Xingnian would not really do anything to them.

But such fright is enough to cast a psychological shadow on them, and they will be cautious in their words and deeds in their future lives.

"Boss, I'm so relieved!" Seeing their terrified appearances, Tao Hui couldn't be happier, this is the end of talking too much.

A red light flashed quickly in Qiao Xingnian's eyes, but he didn't notice it. He looked at the people indifferently, turned all their mobile phones into scraps, turned around and went upstairs.

With Qiao Xingnian's departure, the illusion array was dispelled, and the few people were still immersed in the terrifying illusion just now and couldn't extricate themselves. They didn't come back to their senses until the management staff reminded them not to stay in the green belt.

They hurriedly touched their tongues and found that they were still there. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that they had hallucinations before.But when they saw everyone doing the same thing, they couldn't help but start beating their hearts.

"Just now... you also had your tongue pulled out?"

"You too?"

Everyone nodded one after another, the horror reappeared in their eyes, and they couldn't help swallowing.

"Where's my phone?"

"My phone is gone, too."

Everyone's mobile phones are gone, and all signs indicate that what they just saw is probably not an illusion.

"Let's go, I don't want to stay here for a minute."

"Go, go, this is too evil!"

Everyone ignored their mobile phones and ran out of the community in a panic. For many days in a row, when they closed their eyes, they saw that horrible scene. They were so frightened that they dared not sleep at all. In a short period of time, their spirits were exhausted. down.

Soon the glass installer came to the door. Lin Nanyue also called Qiao Xingnian and told him about Hu Minhua's attitude. The situation over there would be much better, and he felt relieved.

Two days passed quickly, Qiao Xingnian did not go to Lin Nanyue's residence, but still stayed in the Heping Community, and many people came to harass him these two days.Qiao Xingnian installed five pinhole cameras in the corridor outside the door, and took pictures of everything that happened at the door in all directions without any blind spots.

Qiao Xingnian was drawing the design of the overalls, when there was a knock on the door, Tao Hui reminded, "Boss, someone is knocking on the door outside."

Qiao Xingnian said without looking up, "Go and see who it is."

Tao Hui responded, walked through the door, saw two people outside the door, and then walked back into the room, saying: "Boss, it's the police. It seems that Liu Hao's body has been found."

"It took two days to find us. It seems that without Ayue, the police force's work efficiency has been greatly reduced."

"Boss, what are you going to do about it?"

"To be honest, how can I deal with it? I am a good citizen who abides by the law."

Hearing what Qiao Xingnian said, but he couldn't see where he moved, Tao Hui asked strangely, "Boss, aren't you going to open the door?"

"Don't forget, my ears can't hear. I'm the only one at home. How can I hear them knocking on the door?"

"That's right, let them wait outside the door."

Qiao Xingnian continued with his work. Although the store could not be renovated for the time being, the design of the tooling could be put on the agenda. Anyway, he didn't have a job right now, so he simply drew a design draft.

In the past two days, I drew four sets of design drafts of Hanfu, two sets for men and women, with ink as the theme, men's clothing as a towering mountain, and women's clothing as gentle flowing water. The contrast is sharp and complements each other.

When he sent the design draft to the master who customized Hanfu, the master was shocked and immediately expressed his willingness to buy the design draft.Qiao Xingnian thought for a while, and sold the design draft of women's clothing to the master. The two sets cost 20 in total, which was also the first income since the closure of the teahouse.

"Buzzing buzzing buzzing", the phone on the table vibrated, Qiao Xingnian saw it was an unfamiliar number, without hesitation, he made a call directly.

"Hello, is that Qiao Xingnian?"

Looking at the text displayed on the screen, Qiao Xingnian said, "It's me, who are you?"

"We are the police from the police station. There is a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation. Are you at home?"

"exist."

"Then you open the door, we are right outside."

Qiao Xingnian responded, hung up the phone, got up, went to the door, and opened the door.

Looking at the policeman outside the door, Qiao Xingnian smiled politely and said, "Sorry, I can't hear you. You probably haven't waited long?"

"No, we just arrived too."

The two policemen reacted and called him, explaining that they remembered his status as a disabled person, so naturally they would not have any dissatisfaction.

"You two, please come in."

Qiao Xingnian let the two into the room, took two disposable paper cups, poured a glass of water for them respectively, and said, "Comrade police, you are looking for me because the person who smashed the teahouse found it, or the person who beat me Sentenced?"

The expressions of the two policemen froze. The word "Qiao Xingnian" was already well-known in the Hucheng Police Station. He had reported several cases alone, but the person who destroyed the teahouse has not been arrested so far. Both Gao Yuan and Li Chang I didn't know how to face him, so I asked my colleagues who didn't look like me to come over.

Li Jian bit the bullet and said: "The person who maliciously damaged the tea house has not been found yet, but we are already working hard to investigate, and I believe we will give you an answer soon."

"What are those two comrades here for? What do you need my cooperation for?"

Sun Qi and Li Jian looked at each other and asked aloud, "Boss Qiao, you should know Liu Hao, right?"

"Liu Hao?" Qiao Xingnian frowned slightly, and said, "If you are talking about Liu Hao who worked in the teahouse some time ago, then I know him. What's the matter, is there any problem?"

"He's dead." Li Jian carefully observed Qiao Xingnian's expression, trying to see something, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything except shock.

"He died? When did it happen? I saw him two days ago."

Li Jian then asked, "When was the last time you saw him?"

"The last time was probably three days ago. I was eating at a barbecue restaurant with my friends, and he happened to be there."

"I heard from the waiter at the barbecue restaurant that you had an argument with Liu Hao?"

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "That's right. He was not clean. I quarreled with him a few times, but they left soon."

"Who was he with at the time?"

"With a woman named Gong Li, who I heard is a big shot."

"Where did you go after they left?"

"After they left, we went back to the private room to eat for more than an hour, and then left."

"Out of the barbecue restaurant, where did you go?"

"Go home, where else can I go?" Qiao Xingnian paused and said, "No, I didn't go home at that time. I booked a car and went to Jiangqiao Road with my friends. I bought some snacks at Jixiang Dessert Shop. I took a walk in a nearby park for a while, and then I booked a car and went home."

After leaving Liu Hao's house, Qiao Xingnian did stay at the Jixiang Dim Sum Shop, and he also tampered with the salesperson, so even if the police went to check, they couldn't find anything.

Sun Qi asked suspiciously: "Auspicious Dim Sum Shop? You are so late, why are you going to buy dim sum?"

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said: "I have two major hobbies, one is tea and the other is eating, otherwise I wouldn't go so far away to eat barbecue. Besides, all the bad things happened these days. Food eases my mood."

Seeing the two look at each other, they fell silent. Qiao Xingnian asked, "Can I ask how Liu Hao died?"

"Sorry, any information about the case must not be disclosed during the investigation of the case. This is discipline."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Understood. In fact, it doesn't matter how he died. As long as he dies, I will be happy in my heart."

Li Jian frowned slightly and said, "Why do you say that?"

Qiao Xingnian smiled lightly and said: "You two should have heard about what I have experienced these days. Not only was I raped by the Internet, but also someone came to smash the glass of my house in the middle of the night and painted red paint on the door of my house." , Every day squatting downstairs in the community has seriously affected my normal life. All this is because of the two dynamics he uploaded on the Internet, the inflammatory and inductive nature of those words.

But anyone who is sensible knows that he is maliciously retaliating.Now that he died, he deserved what he deserved, why can't I be happy? "

Li Jian and Sun Qi were at a loss for words. They had already seen the paint on the door just now.

"I fired him because he was broadcasting live during working hours and wantonly wasting the tea in the store. It was justified. But he slandered and slandered me on the Internet and led the public to violently attack me. One less villain like this is one , I don't feel sorry at all."

"So you resent him?"

Qiao Xingnian looked at Sun Qi and smiled, and said: "I know what you want to say, I have a motive to kill, but his death has nothing to do with me, I will not ruin my life because of such a scumbag. "

"Now your reputation has been ruined, and the tea house you depend on for survival has also been destroyed. Although you can't say you have nothing, it's still pretty bad. You don't want to kill him?"

"Survival?" Qiao Xingnian said with a faint smile, "I think the police comrades seem to have misunderstood something. Although the tea house is my main source of income, it's not all of it."

Qiao Xingnian retrieved the previous chat records with the garment maker, showed them to them, and said, "In two days, I sold two design drawings for 20 yuan, which is equivalent to two months' income of the teahouse. Do you think it is necessary for me to destroy myself for such a scumbag?"

Li Jian and Sun Qi looked at Qiao Xingnian in surprise, returned the phone to him, and said, "In any case, you have a motive for killing, we will verify what you said as soon as possible, so I hope you will not leave Hucheng soon."

"Don't worry, Hucheng is my root, and I won't leave easily. Besides, if I leave at this time, won't I implement the comments on the Internet? I won't go anywhere until this matter is resolved. I'll fight to the death."

Sun Qi handed the written record to Qiao Xingnian and said, "Look carefully, if there is no discrepancy, sign here."

Qiao Xingnian looked at it carefully, then picked up a pen and signed his name.

"Then come here today, if there is anything, we will find you at any time."

"Comrade police, although the tea house is not what I rely on for my survival, it is also the source of most of my livelihood. I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible and give me justice. Also, the people who stayed nearby, the people who smashed the glass in my house, and the people who were in my house The person who painted the door has to trouble you to check it out."

Li Jian and Sun Qi looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, but this was also within the scope of their work, and they had no reason to shirk it.

After seeing them off, Qiao Xingnian closed the door, and Tao Hui said out loud, "Boss, their faces were really exciting just now. If you want me to say, Boss should have reported the crime a long time ago, so they don't have to be so leisurely."

"The case reported before is enough for them to have a headache." Qiao Xingnian let out a foul breath and said, "The cyberbullying has nothing to do with them, so there's no need to blame them."

"They even suspect that we are murderers, which is ridiculous."

"For them, I had a motive for the murder, and I had an argument with Liu Hao before he died. It is a normal investigation process for them to come and inquire. There is nothing to say about it."

Although the cyberbullying and continuous harassment exhausted Qiao Xingnian's excellent self-cultivation, he still remained calm and would not take his anger out on others.

"This Liu Hao deserved to die, but it's a pity that his soul was lost like this. If you want me to say, he should be kept and let him taste the punishment of hell."

"According to the laws of the world, although he committed a crime, he did not deserve to die. It is indeed a bit too much to end up in the current state of being lost. But this is indeed much more comfortable than being sent to hell."

"Boss, it's been three days, and the trending searches between you and Team Lin are still there. It's clear that someone is behind the scenes."

"The heat has dropped a lot, thanks to the operation of your family and the Lin family."

"I really didn't expect Team Lin's mother to actually agree with the two of you. Such an enlightened parent is really rare."

Qiao Xingnian's expression became warmer, and he said: "Auntie is not open-minded. She can accept it because she loves A Yue very much and can't bear him to be wronged."

"It's that stubborn old man. I don't know what he thinks. His wife and children are separated, but he is still holding on. I think he just wants to save face too much."

"Face is more important, or family? He is not stupid, he will always figure it out."

In Jiangcheng Hotel, Jiang Mohan brought Qiao Minglan and Jiang Chunmin to the restaurant for dinner, and sat down at an empty table.

"Mom and Dad, what do you want to eat, I'll help you."

Qiao Minglan looked at Jiang Chunmin, and said, "You can eat whatever you want. I'm very tired after walking outside all day today. Finish your meal early and go to rest early."

"Then I'll just watch." Jiang Mohan got up and walked to the dining table.

"Old Jiang, we've been out for almost a week, shouldn't it be time to go back?"

Jiang Chunmin looked at Jiang Mohan and said, "My son has such filial piety, so you just play with yourself and don't care about anything else."

"I don't care about money." Qiao Minglan frowned slightly, and said, "In the past two days, I always feel uneasy in my heart, as if something is going to happen. I am a little worried about Xiaonian."

"If you're worried about Xiaonian, just give him a call. Now that communication is so convenient, voice and video don't bother you."

"He has been sensible since he was a child. At that time, I felt relieved. When he grew up, I realized that he took everything by himself. Even if you ask him again, he will only say "I'm fine." , "I have money", "I'm fine". "

Qiao Minglan sighed, and continued: "On my birthday, Xiaonian did mention that we planned to travel together. Although the time was not confirmed, the location was set at Anxi. But this time when we came out, Xiaonian didn't come, and the location It's not right, I always feel that something is wrong."

"Do you suspect that these two children are hiding something from us?"

"Hmm. Didn't you see that Mo Han has been preoccupied in recent days?"

"That's easy. When he comes back, let's ask him directly. If he doesn't say anything, we will book a ticket back tomorrow."

Qiao Minglan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Before Jiang Mohan came back, Qiao Minglan's phone rang suddenly. She picked up the phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number. After a moment of hesitation, she still connected, "Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Minglan, long time no see."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang in his ears, Qiao Minglan's body froze, and the phone dropped on the table.

Seeing this, Jiang Chunmin asked with concern: "Minglan, what's wrong with you, what happened?"

Qiao Minglan regained consciousness in an instant, quickly picked up the phone and hung up, and blocked the number in a panic.

Jiang Chunmin frowned and said, "Minglan, what's the matter?"

Qiao Minglan's eyes turned red instantly, she looked at Jiang Chunmin with tears in her eyes, and stammered, "Yes...it's him, he's back, he's come to us!"

Jiang Chunmin's expression changed, and he guessed, "Ming Lan, you're talking about Gao Minqiang?"

Jiang Chunming knew Qiao Minglan's past clearly, so when he saw Qiao Minglan's frightened face, the first thing that came to his mind was Qiao Minglan's ex-husband Gao Minqiang.

Qiao Minglan nodded, with tears streaming from her eyes, she said, "It's him, Lao Jiang, he's back, he's come looking for us!"

Qiao Minglan will never forget that the years of living with Gao Minqiang have become a psychological shadow for their mother and son for the rest of their lives.

Gao Minqiang was addicted to alcohol, he would drink it every day, beat his wife and children after drinking, every time he would kill him, Qiao Minglan had the worst time, he couldn't help but had two ribs broken, and his arm was broken, which was the root cause of his illness.Her left hand is so weak that she can't even hold a spatula.

If Qiao Xingnian hadn't seen that Qiao Minglan was beaten to death that day, and picked up the wine bottle and knocked him unconscious, it is unknown whether Qiao Minglan would have survived.

Jiang Chunmin quickly took his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a phone call. We don't need this number. I'll take you to get a new number tomorrow."

"He knows my number, and he must know where our home is. Xiaonian, Xiaonian is in danger! No, I have to go back, I have to go back right away!"

The two were talking, Jiang Mohan came over with the food, seeing Qiao Minglan with tears in his eyes and a flustered expression, he couldn't help but "thud" in his heart, and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Mo Han, something happened to Xiaonian, we must go back immediately, go back now!"
