"Brother, do I look like a girl?"

"What?" Qi Nuliang raised his head from the noodle bowl in front of him and looked at Jiang Yu, "Who says you look like a woman?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Yu lowered his eyelids and continued eating noodles.

In order not to worry Qi Nuliang, Zhang Xiaoqiang blocked him, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little strange that day, saying that he looked like a woman, and calling him a sissy.He naturally knew that it was the words that the other party deliberately provoked him after calling him "dog".But when he came back and looked left and right in the mirror, he could also see a little difference between him and boys of the same age.He is indeed much fairer than those tanned boys who run wildly in the sun every day, and fairness is usually a word to describe girls.

"You're not like a woman, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Next time someone says that about you, tell me, and I'll beat him up."

"No one told me."

Qi Nuliang stretched out his hand to pinch Jiang Yu's chin, raised his face to look left and right, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good, he will definitely be a handsome guy when he grows up, don't worry."

He twisted his chin away from Qi Nuliang's hand, and looked away, a streak of crimson blood stained his ears.

At this moment, Qi Nuliang's phone rang.

"You say... um... um... ok."

After hanging up the phone, he put down his chopsticks and said to Jiang Yu, "Go home after eating, I have something to do, so I'll be back later."

"What time is it late?"

"It's late, it's late, I'm leaving first."

Jiang Yu watched Qi Nuliang's figure disappear into the night, put down his chopsticks, and the corners of his mouth curled down.

He doesn't like Qi Nuliang's current job, there is no fixed working time, and no specific rest, let alone being called away from him anytime and anywhere.But he also really understands that Qi Nuliang has no more choices, and he has no capital to be willful.

Deng Jianghua was squatting on the side of the road smoking, with his motorcycle parked beside him.Seeing Qi Nuliang from afar, he threw away his cigarette butt and rode beside him.

Qi Nuliang got into the car with his legs crossed: "You said Long Dequan is back?"

"I'm back, I just heard from Brother Li of the company."

"Such a big list, he won't go?"

"Who is going? If you want me to tell you, don't go, it's a waste of time. That person really doesn't have any money, and it's useless to ask for it."

The company cleans up the bills every quarter, and will take out all the backlog of bad debts and bad debts again, and make a separate commission, and the commission percentage is not affected by the salesman's level.The collector's commission for Long Dequan's several million arrears contract has risen to 8%, but no one is still able to get the money back.

"Try first."

"Everyone who said that thought they were going to get the commission, and it turned out not to be the same."

Qi Nuliang plucked Deng Jianghua's comb-like hair: "Don't you think that our poor performance has a lot to do with your hair?"

Deng Jianghua shrank his head: "Brother Qi, don't lie to me, it has nothing to do with it."

"It's a big deal, the difference between a big gangster and a little bum. Who do you think will be afraid of a little bum?"

"..."

"Shave it."

"But I stayed for a long time."

Before going to Long Dequan, Deng Jianghua reluctantly went to the most expensive hair salon in Hongcheng, and made infinite demands on the barber.Qi Nuliang waited impatiently for him, and went into a tattoo parlor nearby.

Half an hour later, Deng Jianghua's killer turned into Mohawk, and Qi Nuliang had an extra earring and earring on his ear.

The two looked at each other's new looks, and both wanted to say something, but the inexplicable sense of shame made them hesitate to speak.Qi Nuliang coughed lightly: "Let's go, get down to business."

On the way, Deng Jianghua and Qi Nuliang talked about the old Lai's past.

It is said that in the first two years of the millennium, Long Dequan was still doing business in Nanquan City, and he was a wealthy boss.Later, I don't know if I was cheated or what, in short, the business failed and I owed a lot of debt.Because of this, his wife divorced him and took her daughter away.He owed debts, and the creditors could not collect the money, nor would they let him go. They threatened him with his parents who lived in Hongcheng, and if he dared to run away, they would be rude to his elderly parents.

Deng Jianghua's motorcycle was parked on the side of the road.It was already on the outskirts of Hongcheng, and there were no street lights. The two arrived in front of a self-built bungalow with flashlights.Deng Jianghua was familiar with it, and directly took Qi Nuliang to Long Dequan's house.

I rented two bungalows, the main room doubles as a kitchen, and the coal stove in the corner made the already stuffy and airless house even hotter. A middle-aged man was sitting at a low table in the middle of the main room eating.

He held a bowl of corn porridge in his hand, and a plate of vegetables and pickles on the table. His left eye and cheekbone were still red and swollen. This was the reason why he disappeared for a few days—he was kidnapped by other creditors, and he had a difficult few days. day.Even so, the man is well-dressed and doesn't look so down and out.Knowing that someone came in, he didn't move, still drinking his porridge from the bowl.

Deng Jianghua knocked on his table with the handle of the flashlight: "Hey, I'm still eating."

Long Dequan put down the porridge bowl, raised his eyelids, and glanced at the two small stools next to him: "Please sit down."

"Who the hell wants to sit? We belong to Hongfa Assets Company. You should know that the bank's debt was transferred to us, right?"

The man nods.

"If you know it, it's easy to say, pay back the money."

Long Dequan stood still: "I have no money."

"Damn it...you don't eat the toast, you get fined wine." Deng Jianghua raised his hand and gave him a slap on the head, beating the man's head to the side.

Qi Nuliang pulled Deng Jianghua behind him, dragged a low bench and sat opposite Long Dequan, didn't speak, and watched him eat with his chin propped up.The man took two more sips, but he still put down the bowl after being frightened by the sight.

"Don't worry, eat slowly."

He looked at Qi Nuliang, who was also a well-informed person, and he could often judge a person from his temperament.The young man who was obviously sitting was different from the boy who beat him just now.

"What do you want? I said, I have no money."

"No money to borrow."

"Hehe, all the people who come to my door are creditors. Are you willing to lend me money?"

The newly pierced ears were still a little itchy, Qi Nuliang couldn't help tilting his head and pinching his head, and said indifferently: "It can still be sold, the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, after a set, I will definitely have 100 million yuan."

Long Dequan didn't speak for a while, and his face became very gloomy with that Wannian Laolai.

Deng Jianghua who was behind Qi Nuliang could not help but shudder, wondering why he said such words like asking "Have you eaten?"In the past, he only knew that Brother Qi beat people hard, but he didn't know that he was so cold-blooded.

As expected of someone who has been in a big prison at a young age, it's so damn exciting.

Long Dequan lost his composure, and he said angrily, "The knife is there. If you have the ability, you can kill me today. I don't want to live anyway. You bastards, you come here every day to beat me, insult me, Threatening me, I want to die a long time ago, you have the guts to hack me to death..."

Qi Nuliang stood up, walked over to the cooking table in the corner, picked up the knife on the cutting board, and tested the sharpness of the knife with his thumb.Then he brought the kitchen knife over and chopped it on the wooden dining table. The raised edge of the knife was facing Long Dequan with a cold light, which made him shut up in fright, and "Gulu" swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Qi Nuliang didn't speak, kicked open the door of the bedroom, and searched for it.

Long Dequan still sat on the small stool without moving, only turning his eyes to look at him.

Deng Jianghua followed in: "What are you looking for, may I help you?"

Qi Nuliang rummaged through the wardrobe, bedside table and bed, tearing clothes all over the floor, and even tore up the mattress, but found nothing.In the end, he found two boxes of books in two suitcases, and stood in front of the books to read them.

Deng Jianghua suppressed his voice: "It seems that this poor man really has no money."

Outside Long Dequan suddenly shouted: "You are looking for money, all my money is here." He took out a handful of change from his pocket and slapped it on the dining table.

Qi Nuliang ignored him, but shook the book in his hand and asked, "What are these books for?"

"I set up a bookstall on Xinhua Road, people always have to eat when they are alive."

Deng Jianghua corroborated his statement in a low voice: "That's right, he usually sets up a stall on Xinhua Road."

Qi Nuliang flipped through for a while, picked out two martial arts novels, and threw the book money on Long Dequan's dining table when he went out: "I bought these two. Hua Tsai, let's go."

Full of doubts, Long Dequan watched the two leave just like that.

After going out, Deng Jianghua was even more puzzled: "Brother, what are you doing?"

The newly pierced ears were still itchy, Qi Nuliang couldn't help pinching them again, he knew earlier that he shouldn't pierce his ears impulsively.

"Do you know someone named Cao Yiyi?"

"Cao Yiyi, who is it? The woman you're new to? Didn't you just hook up with that female teacher?"

Qi Nuliang slapped Deng Jianghua on the forehead: "Don't fucking talk nonsense.

"I just found a Chinese exercise book for the third year in Long Dequan's two packs of books. The name on the book is Cao Yiyi."

Deng Jianghua still had question marks all over his face.

"Didn't you say he had a daughter before. How old is his daughter?"

Deng Jianghua scratched his head: "I don't know the details. Do you suspect that it is his daughter? His daughter was not taken away by his ex-wife, and the girl's surname is not Long, nor is his ex-wife's surname Cao."

"But it's very strange. If it's a relative's child, he owes so much debt. Relatives don't want to cause trouble, so they hide as far away as possible. How can they let the child associate with him? If someone who has nothing to do with him leaves him Here, he doesn’t need to put the book away, and it’s still hidden at the bottom of the box.”

"You mean the book belongs to his daughter?"

"I don't know, but you can look it up. I read the date of the teacher's correction in the exercise book, and it is the most recent, which means that they met recently."

Deng Jianghua looked at Qi Nuliang and hesitated: "Brother Qi, if we really find his daughter, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know, it depends on how he does it."

"Then what, let's not go too far, after all, the money he borrowed has nothing to do with his daughter."

Qi Nuliang turned to look at Deng Jianghua: "You don't want the [-] commission?"

"...No, I just think..."

"Don't talk about it, no one really wants you to kill people and set fires. Find out the matter first, start with people related to Long Dequan, and find out if there is anyone with the surname 'Cao'."
