Chapter 87 4

Tsui Hark was sitting cross-legged on the carpet at his home, and was inserting photos one by one into the album - all of them were taken by him and his friends at Wu Zhenqing's house yesterday. He whistled as he intervened. The doorbell rang. The parrot on the shelf shouted: "There is a visitor, open the door! There is a visitor, open the door!" Tsui Hark asked, "Who?" No one answered the door. Tsui Hark said: "I hate it!" and continued to insert photos. The parrot also said "hate!" The doorbell rang again. The parrot called: "There is a visitor, open the door! There is a visitor, open the door!"

Tsui Hark had no choice but to get up to open the door. Seeing Xiao Li outside the door, he pushed him away from the door without saying a word, and wanted to close the door, but Xiao Li squeezed through the door like a weasel. Tsui Hark said with a stern face, "Why the hell are you not talking? Didn't you promise to disappear from my eyes?" Xiao Li said: "Brother, now it is not a question of me disappearing in front of your eyes, but a question of whether you disappear in front of my eyes!" Xiao Li said as he swaggered into the living room. Tsui Hark said: "You kid, don't be shamelessly poor here, get out of here as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

Xiao Li sat down on the sofa with a big face: "Brother, don't speak so harshly. You have a bad face. If there are dark clouds in the sky, it is clear that a catastrophe is about to come. I don't know it at all. I am here to solve your problems with good intentions." , but you kicked me out, what's the reason?" Tsui Hark said: "I just learned a few words from the fake fortune teller in the park, so I came here to practice my tongue, didn't I? If it's within three numbers, I'll fuck you! One, two..." Xiao Li put on a serious look: "Brother, I'm not joking with you, you killed someone!"

Tsui Hark got angry: "Are you going to get out or not?" Xiao Li said, "Brother, that kid is dead!" Seeing that he was very serious and solemn, Tsui Hark was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Which kid? What does it have to do with me?" Xiao Li: "It was the night when I went to buy a house with you... Now the news has spread all over the city, talking about it! I just heard about it, and I will report to you right away..." "He... how did he die?" Xiao Li smiled: "Brother, don't pretend to be confused. Didn't he die at your hands, could he die at someone else's hands?"

Tsui Hark said to himself, "No wonder, when I got home that day, my clothes were covered in blood..." His legs gave way and he fell onto the sofa. Xiao Li picked up his cigarette from the tea table and smoked it leisurely, watching him carefully. Tsui Hark was still muttering to himself: "I... did I really kill someone?" Xiao Li said: "Is there still a lie? But, big brother, don't be nervous. God knows, Earth knows, you know, I know—as long as I don't say it, no ghost will know except us!" Tsui Hark looked at him anxiously... Xiao Li: "Brother, I am not the kind of villain who betrays my friends. As long as you are willing to stop my mouth with money..."

Tsui Hark: "..." Xiao Li: "Brother, I won't hit you. Fifty thousand, how about it? If you know the truth and don't raise it, I'm taking the risk. Fifty thousand isn't too much, right?" Tsui Hark said, "You...you let me think..." Xiao Li: "Think about it, think about it, think about it slowly, think about it carefully, I have enough patience to wait for you...Brother, nowadays people with a little economic foundation don't smoke foreign cigarettes, foreign cigarettes have dropped in price, people They have switched to authentic Yunyan..."

Tsui Hark sat there motionless like a Buddha, his eyes dazed... Xiao Li: "Playing 'Mercedes', soaking in foreign 'honey', drinking Hongta Mountain, drinking whiskey, wearing designer clothes, and getting AIDS, big brother, if you enter this level, you can be regarded as truly out of poverty..." Tsui Hark got up slowly, put away the album and photos, and put on his suit. Xiao Li: "Brother, have you made up your mind?" Tsui Hark: "Well..." Xiao Li: "Cash? Or a passbook?" Tsui Hark said nothing, opened the cabinet door, took out a whole carton of cigarettes, and put it under his arm.

Xiao Li: "Shall I wait here, or go to the bank with you?" Tsui Hark: "I will surrender myself to the Public Security Bureau..." Xiao Li suddenly jumped up: "Surrender yourself? Hey, big brother, why are you doing this?" Tsui Hark grabbed his wrist: "I am acting bravely and defending myself reasonably! You have to testify with me!" Xiao Li reversed his usual humility: "Testify? Ouch! You have to pay to testify!" Tsui Hark said harshly, "I'll give you a big slap in the face!" Xiao Li: "No? If you don't give it to me, you will be finished? The grandson will testify!"

The parrot also learned to cry: "Go to hell, go to hell. The grandson will testify." The doorbell rang again. Tsui Hark let go of Xiao Li, and the two looked at each other. Parrot: "There is a visitor, open the door, there is a visitor, open the door." Tsui Hark pointed at Xiao Li: "If you slander others out of conscience, I can't spare you!" He went to open the door with a "ghost" in his heart. Xiao Li scolded: "Hmph, you fucking miser! A dog bites Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart!" Tsui Hark opened the door - standing outside the door was the old lady from the lower floor.

Tsui Hark said: "Ma'am, I'm about to go out, can we talk about it later if we have something to do?" The old lady said stubbornly: "Ma'am will only delay you for a few minutes." Tsui Hark had no choice but to let her in. "Hey, do you have a guest?" When she saw Xiao Li in the living room, she retreated from the living room again, and asked Tsui Hark in a low voice in the hallway: "What do you think about what my aunt told you a few days ago?" gone?" Tsui Hark said absently, "What's the matter, ma'am?" The old lady said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you forget! It's about your second sister and you! She's waiting for your reply!"

Tsui Hark said, "Oh, oh, well... I haven't thought about it yet." "How long does it take to think about this? Your second sister asked me to forward you a letter! I think, don't let me pass the word for you from now on. What are your thoughts and ideas? Conditions, make an appointment by yourself. It doesn’t matter if it’s at my place or at yours, and you’ll be close if you talk face to face.” Xiao Li walked out from the living room, pretending to be serious and said: "Old lady, let's go! Pulling the string to say that the matchmaker didn't choose an auspicious day, we still have business to talk about!" The old lady was puzzled: "What's the matter today? Is there something inauspicious today? What we're talking about here isn't serious business?" She took out a letter from her pocket and fortified it to Tsui Hark as she spoke. Tsui Hark took a step back in refusal: "Ma'am, don't be like this, I didn't think about it well, I can't accept this letter." Xiao Li pulled the old lady aside: "What are you talking about! Tell you the truth! He killed someone! The gate of the prison is waiting to be opened for him! Have you heard of the murder case in the Dibao District? That person was murdered!" of!" The old lady looked at Xiao Li and Tsui Hark: "Really?" Tsui Hark gave Xiao Li a hard look: "The real aunt...I...I'm very sorry..." The old lady stared at him in a daze for a long time and thought about it: "Then, if I didn't say it, I didn't say it, you just forget about it! Xu Hark, Xu Hark, you almost cheated me!" Not shallow!" The old lady turned around and left. Xiao Li proudly said: "How is it? Are you scared away? At the critical moment, don't you need me to help you out? I thought about it, and it's okay to turn yourself in. You confess, I testify, and I don't have to take the burden of knowing It’s a risk not to testify. It’s just loyalty to testify, so you can pay me a little loyalty fee, how about 30,000?” Xu Hark kicked him to the ground, opened the door, dragged him out like a dead dog, and kicked him again, almost rolling him down the stairs... Xiao Li got up and became angry from embarrassment: "Xu, I won't testify for you, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to cleanse yourself!" Tsui Hark slammed the door—he went back to the living room, sat on the sofa and smoked vigorously. Xiao Li was yelling outside the door: "Neighbors, listen up! The guy surnamed Xu killed someone! He was the murderer in the murder case in Dibao District!" Tsui Hark covered his ears... Tsui Hark left the house with the parrot and walked down the stairs step by step—he stopped at the door of the old lady's house on the third floor, hesitated, and finally knocked on the door. The old lady opened the door, was stunned, and said in a low voice: "I repeat, you and your second sister, just pretend I didn't mention it. Listen to the aunt, the French Open is back, escape is not a problem, hurry up Surrender yourself, huh?" Tsui Hark said: "I don't want to run away, I'm going to surrender. Auntie, please adopt this parrot!" The old lady seemed afraid of sticking some kind of bag: "This... I have never raised this one, and I can't raise it well. Besides, you don't know when you will come back. In case I forget to feed it one day and starve to death It's..." The parrot imitated Tsui Hark's speech: "Adopt it, adopt it..." The old lady said again: "You parrot's beak is too poor, you should ask others for your uneducated things." Tsui Hark turned and left disappointed. The old lady looked at his disappearing back and said to herself: "Who knows if you are really going to surrender, or are you planning to abscond in fear of crime?"
Xu Ke was walking down the street with the parrot in his arms, and when he came to Han Debao's house, he knocked on the door. Han's wife opened the door: "You? Why did you bring the parrot here?" She let Xu Ke into the room, and Han Debao was putting clothes into a travel bag. Tsui Hark asked, "Going on a business trip?" Han Debao replied while putting things away: "Well, isn't it almost 'Eleventh'? There are a few people in my area who are in reform through labor. Let's go and see them on behalf of their families." Tsui Hark saw that there were two large travel bags on the ground, both of which were bulging, and asked, "Is it their family members who entrusted you to bring them?" Han Debao nodded: "Yes." Tsui Hark: "Can I get it?" Han Debao said: "No problem, I forgot to visit the house when we went to the countryside, which time is it not a big bag?" Tsui Hark sighed: "I still have a home." The parrot immediately followed "It's good to have a family, it's good to have a family".Han's wife laughed. Only then did Han Debao see the parrot, and he was very curious: "Hey, I haven't noticed that you brought it here...Are you planning to go out too?" Tsui Hark said, "That's right, maybe it's still a long trip." Han's wife came in, wiped her wet hands on the apron and said, "You, I don't think you need a home, let alone a wife, you just marry this poor-mouthed parrot!" Han Debao's daughter also came out of another hut with a pencil, teased the parrot with the pencil, and looked at Xu Ke fondly: "It's so beautiful! Uncle Xu, let me raise it for a few days?" "Uncle brought it here for you to take care of him, but don't treat it badly, huh?" Tsui Hark said to himself, "There is nothing more unfair than a human being. A parrot, if it doesn't If it can talk, it must be regarded as a stupid parrot. Like the one I raised, it is too good at talking, and it is sloppy." Han's wife smiled and said, "Don't protect it like that, we'll just take care of it for you!" Han Debao packed his travel bag, sat down, and asked, "Where are you going?" Xu Ke said casually: "I haven't decided where to go yet, anyway, I'm bored, and I plan to go to a place with a good scenery to relax." Han's wife said: "Look at him, how chic his life is! Like you, you worry about your life!" Tsui Hark pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Hey, I heard that there was a murder case in his area?" Han Debao nodded: "Yes. Whether it was a murder of love or a murder of vendetta, there is no clue yet, anyway, it is undoubtedly a homicide." Han's wife said, "Tell me, my washing machine is still spinning clothes." She turned and left. Han Debao's daughter also carried the parrot to the hut. Tsui Hark asked: "You said, if he is a gangster and committing crimes, such as blocking roads and robbing, and others act bravely and accidentally kill him, what will happen?" Han Debao said: "Well, we need to analyze the specific situation. When I was in the bureau, I participated in handling such a case-two people fought, one brandished a stick to hit the other, and a brave man came from the side. The shovel beat the man who swung the stick to death, and he was sentenced to three years in prison. Nowadays, the law is becoming more and more detailed. It is not new for a good person to be sentenced because of the impulse of justice. Why do you ask this? ?” Tsui Hark smiled: "I'm curious, add some legal knowledge." Han Debao said: "Before leaving, Xiao Song gave me the US dollars. I asked you to give my RMB to Xiao Song's mother. Did you give it?" Tsui Hark said, "Yes." Han Debao sighed and said: "After all, it's less than one to five. I took advantage of him by a thousand yuan." "Well, once he left, I felt empty in my heart for a while. He is busy, so let's pick it up! When he is in trouble for a while, we are angry, and when he leaves, he doesn't explain... This time, I don't know when we will see each other again... ..." Tsui Hark said, a little sad. Han Debao nodded: "That's right... I think his behavior has not changed at all, he is still the same as before, he can tolerate..." Tsui Hark looked at his watch, got up and said, "I have to go, if I don't go, you will think my butt is heavy again. If Xiao Song has a letter, when you reply, please take care of me." Han Debao asked: "Can't you write to him yourself?" "He always jokes about my handwriting. Besides, I'm going out. Don't send it off, I have to go on the road tomorrow, go to rest early, and take this cigarette with you on the road." Tsui Hark took out the cigarette from his suit, put it down, and left immediately.
Tsui Hark walked slowly down the street. He bought two more cigarettes at a small kiosk and carried them away in a plastic bag. He lingers on the sidewalk, looking across the road. Across the road is the Public Security Bureau, and the red light is very eye-catching at night. Finally he crossed the road and walked towards the Public Security Bureau. He stopped under the high steps of the Public Security Bureau, hesitated, and sat on the lowest step to smoke... After a long time, he threw away the cigarette and stepped up the steps. When he reached the top step, he turned around, looked at the bustling night scene and the flashing neon lights in the distance, then turned around abruptly and entered the Public Security Bureau.
