Chapter 381 Mantis (Additional chapter for the leader Xiangnan who is the most handsome)

Jiangchuan No. 1 Middle School is the largest middle school in the city, and Tenglong Game Hall No. 1 Middle School Store is also the largest branch of Tenglong’s four game halls. It is a holy place for students and carries the childhood memories of countless teenagers of that era.

After school, this place is always crowded. "Street Fighter" and "The King of Fighters" are always the most popular games. From a long distance, you can hear the dynamic and novel BGM accompanied by the "click, click, click" sound of crazy key tapping. However, deep in the smoky game hall, in an office, it is quiet.

Ma Shi sat on the sofa in this office, shaving his fingernails.

After he accompanied Zhang Yunqi to leave No. 1 Middle School, he began to investigate Wang Jinshan's relationships inside and outside the school. Through Chunlan's best friend Huang Min, he soon found Li Mu, a classmate who often played games with Wang Jinshan.

After a little coercion and inducement, Li Mu told everything.

Li Mu said that he had not played with Wang Jinshan for a long time. He did not know why Wang Jinshan had become a little mysterious this semester and had been alone, so he was not very clear about his recent situation. However, the place where they used to play games was called Tenglong Game Hall No. 1 Middle School Branch, and Wang Jinshan often went there alone. In addition, Wang Jinshan seemed to have become friends with a waitress named Peng Li at Tenglong Game Hall.

Ma Shi immediately brought people here and called Wu Jianjun over.

Wu Jianjun, also known as Brother Jun on Jiangchuan Road.

Wu Jianjun was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with dark skin and a short stature, about 1.6 meters tall. A shit-yellow dog chain hung around his thick neck. He sat opposite Ma Shi with a smile on his face. He brewed a cup of Longjing tea and pushed it in front of Ma Shi: "Mr. Ma, have some tea, have some tea."

Ma Shi glanced at Wu Jianjun and said, "Brother Jun, where are they? I'm very busy, and the people above me are even busier."

"Have you brought the person here? What are they doing? Hurry up and get him here!" Wu Jianjun turned around and yelled at the male waiter standing at the door.

In fact, up to now, Wu Jianjun still didn't know what had happened. Today, Ma Shi brought people to kill him, without saying anything, and specifically asked for Hong Sanbo, the manager of the No. 1 Middle School store, and Peng Li, the waitress. But no matter what, a figure like Ma Shi could come here in person, so the matter must be big, and he was a little uneasy.

Many years ago, Ma Shi's elder brother Wang Guibing was a social idler who followed him to open a small game hall in Hongshan Lane. At that time, he called him Brother Jun in a very affectionate manner.

However, things have changed over time. Wang Guibing is no longer the same person he was before and has become the second-in-command under Zhang Yunqi.

Who is Zhang Yunqi?
Dao Ge and Hei Zi, two desperate men without vision, didn't know, but Wu Jianjun was more or less a person of some status in this area, so he naturally knew. That young talent who hadn't graduated from high school yet could be said to be the most famous entrepreneur in Jiangchuan City at the moment, the most popular person in front of Yang Jiarong, and the actual planner and firm executor of the "Jiangchuan Model" of state-owned enterprise reform that was popular in southern Hunan Province.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

Wang Guibing is now wealthy, earning money through legitimate means, and has a lot of money, face, and fame. He has made friends with all the well-known people in the city, and has become a person that people like him who run a few game halls can't get close to. Even Ma Shi, who is within three meters of Zhang Yunqi every day, is doing very well. He has a lot of connections with the city's underworld and the people who can rank high.

Wu Jianjun was thinking about these things and felt quite emotional, but soon, Hong Sanbo rushed in with a girl who was heavily made up but had a dull look in her eyes.

Ma Shi leaned over and stared at the girl: "Your name is Peng Li?"

As soon as Hong Sanbo entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere was not right. His elder brother Jun was smiling beside him. He didn't know which immortal he had offended, so he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, she is Peng Li."

Ma Shi lit a cigarette and said, "Tell me everything about Wang Jinshan, tell me every word."

When Hong Sanbo heard that the other party wanted to know about Wang Jinshan, he suddenly felt that it was no big deal, so he told the whole story, including Wang Jinshan's addiction to games, his friendship with Peng Li, and his being caught stealing money. Then, he stammered and said that in order to make Wang Jinshan pay for the money, he asked his subordinates Dao Ge and Heizi to often rape that guy, and Peng Li was also sent to sell her body to pay off the money.

Peng Li was already sobbing quietly beside her.

Ma Shi grasped the key point of the problem: "Where are the knife brother and the black man?"

Hong Sanbo was stunned for a moment: "Some time ago they said they wanted to go back to their hometown to work. I didn't think much about it at the time and agreed. They left a few days ago."

Ma Shi understood.

He was basically certain that Chunlan was kidnapped by Daoge and Heizi.

"Then let's do this first. Give me the photos of Brother Dao and Heizi." Ma Shi stood up and said to Wu Jianjun: "But, Brother Jun, don't blame me for saying harsh words. I am just an errand boy. Before my boss's work is done, don't let a word of the conversation and things in this room today spread out. If it delays the big things above, your Tenglong can close on the spot." After a pause, he turned his eyes to Peng Li: "As for this girl, I want to take her away."

"Okay, okay, Mr. Ma, if you have anything to say, just call me. I promise that I will not leak a single word of what happened today." Wu Jianjun stood up, patted his chest heavily, smiled and handed him a cigarette, and said, "Well, Mr. Ma, I have something else here, and I'd like to ask you for help."

"what?"

"Yuxianli Night Market is currently recruiting investors. I also want to get a better storefront facing the main street in Yuxianli and open a new game hall. Can you let Mr. Zhang know?"

Because of a street vendor regulation order issued by the city, the Yuxianli tourist night market that has sprung up has become extremely popular. The stores in Yuxianli are in great demand. Wu Jianjun also wants to get a good storefront facing the street to open a new game hall, but the competition is too fierce. Many big bosses of dance halls, roller skating rinks, and big restaurants are eyeing him. However, if Ma Shi is willing to help, it will only take a word.

Ma Shi was happy to hear this.

He pointed at Peng Li, who had been ravaged beyond recognition, and said to Wu Jianjun in a rather impolite manner: "Wipe the shit off your ass first. Will my boss allow you to do something like this in the game hall?"

After saying that, Ma Shi threw away the nail clippers and left with four young men in black suits and Peng Li.

He went to the No. 1 Middle School in the city.

Looking for Old Man Liu, the doorman of the boys’ dormitory of No. 1 Middle School.

This old man has an extremely good relationship with his boss Zhang Yunqi.

When Zhang Yunqi was still selling handheld game consoles, Old Man Liu was the third employee after Wang Guibing and Zhang Qiulan, working as a switchboard operator. He could be considered a founding hero and a veteran of 联众. Although he had long since retired to the second line, Zhang Yunchuan never forgot to give him gifts during festivals.

Old man Liu must have told everything to Zhang Yunqi's people.

Ma Shi easily got another important information from Old Man Liu.

Some time ago, Old Man Liu received several calls looking for Wang Jinshan. There was a man's voice on the other end of the phone. This is not the point. The point is that he had never received a call from the man looking for Wang Jinshan a few months ago, and the man's voice did not have a Jiangchuan local accent.

Wang Jinshan is a student from a poor rural family in Jiangchuan. It is unlikely that he would know anyone from outside the area. Dao Ge and Heizi are not from Jiangchuan.

Ma Shi felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.

The key now is that Brother Dao and Heizi must be hiding, and the breakthrough lies in Wang Jinshan!

However, there was one thing that Ma Shi could not understand. Before taking action on such a fatal case, the two desperate criminals must have fully mastered Chunlan's information. But with their identities, it was impossible for them to get Chunlan's information, so he had to suspect that Chunlan's information was provided by Wang Jinshan.

Then the question arises, Wang Jinshan suffered inhuman treatment from Dao Ge and Heizi, and his girlfriend Peng Li was sent to a chicken shop to sell meat to pay off the debt.

Logically speaking, Wang Jinshan should hate Dao Ge and Hei Zi, so why did he do that?

Another point is that Chunlan can be regarded as Wang Jinshan's childhood sweetheart, and the two have a very deep relationship. After he came to Jiangchuan to study, Chunlan, a rich lady, often selflessly helped him, a boy from a poor family. Not only did he not know how to be grateful, but he also sent Chunlan into the tiger's mouth?

Ma Shi shuddered at the thought of this and felt that Wang Jinshan was a pervert.

The complexity and horror of human nature.
