Chapter 277 The Visitor and the Funeral
Seeing Liu Mang again, Uncle Biao no longer felt surprised, it seemed normal.

Because he could guess that Liu Mang was in the Shi's Nursing Home at the moment, and he must have come to find someone, and it seemed that he was just passing by.

"What, are you leaving?"

By the way, to see him, it must be because he is leaving. After the matter is settled, Uncle Biao knows that Liu Mang is very busy now.

"Hmm." Liu Mang nodded. Between him and Uncle Biao, there is no need to be as polite as a stranger, and to speak bluntly: "Uncle Biao, how much do you know about Mr. Ding's insomnia?"

Liu Mang heard about Mr. Ding's insomnia from Uncle Biao once.

He said that almost every time he played chess with Ding Lao, Ding Lao fell asleep inexplicably during the game. Once he fell asleep, he couldn't wake up unless he shook his hands softly.

It can be said that everyone in Shi's Nursing Home knows that Mr. Ding suffers from insomnia, but there are very few people who really understand the extent of Mr. Ding's insomnia.

Except for the doctor in charge of Mr. Ding, that is, the responsible nurse knows.

Of course, there is also Ding Lao's family.

The reason why Uncle Biao knew about it was because Uncle Biao and Mr. Ding had become close friends. Without discussing private matters, the two could almost talk about everything. Uncle Biao knew many things.

Of course, there are many secrets that Mr. Ding didn't tell him.

"Mr. Ding's insomnia is very serious. How serious it is is beyond words. In short, Mr. Ding once told me that sometimes he can't sleep for several days, and sometimes he sleeps for several days. His condition is very unstable. , just taking sleeping pills won't work, that's why, sometimes when he plays chess with me, he will suddenly fall asleep." Uncle Biao said in a low voice.

The death of Mr. Ding has always been a hurdle in Uncle Biao's heart.

So awesome old man, why did he die all of a sudden?I can't justify it.

A person as awesome as Mr. Ding, the life he experienced, the way of doing business he mastered, have not found a successor, and he has not even shared his experience, so he passed away like this.

It is really a great loss to the society.

What is civilization!

Civilization is the accumulation of countless knowledge and life experiences, which are then compiled into a book and passed down to future generations to let the world know.

Ding Lao's life was colorful and bumpy, hard and sunny. Shouldn't this kind of legendary life pass on the knowledge and experience he has mastered?
The reason why Uncle Biao is still willing to teach martial arts at such an old age is not for money.

Instead, he hopes that the martial arts he has mastered can be passed down.

"He suffers from insomnia so badly, what does the doctor say?" Liu Mang looked at Uncle Biao in surprise.

The doctor on duty didn't tell him about this.

Didn't tell him, maybe even the doctor on duty didn't know about it.

Perhaps the doctor on duty knew that Mr. Ding might sleep for several days at a time, but if Mr. Ding didn't say that he couldn't sleep for several days in a row, the doctor on duty probably wouldn't know about it.

"The doctor doesn't know about it either."

Uncle Biao sighed, and said lightly: "Actually, Mr. Ding has already made arrangements for his own funeral. I also heard this sentence from him. It's a pity..."

If there had been an arrangement, Ding Lao would not have died suddenly.

Even after his death, the family members only came to visit, and then they never showed up.

Even when the body was taken to the funeral home, the family never showed up.

This made Uncle Biao suspicious, what did Mr. Ding refer to when he said that he had already made arrangements?
"You mean, Mr. Ding has arrangements for his own funeral?"

This was caught by Liu Mang in an instant, and he looked at Uncle Biao with fiery eyes: "From this point of view, the death of Old Ding may not be that simple."

"Just say yes, but if there is, someone should come to take care of him as soon as he dies, but obviously not." Uncle Biao shook his head, he only remembered this matter today.

Liu Mang didn't think so.

A big man like Mr. Ding usually doesn't say anything aimlessly, saying one is one, and saying two is two, so it is impossible to make jokes.

After all, it is impossible to joke about things like funerals.

When a person knows that his time is short and he is about to die, what he says is often true.

If it is said that the funeral is arranged, then the funeral must be arranged.

After all, no one would make fun of his own funeral, unless this person really doesn't care, after his death, whether he will be dead on the street or wait to stink and no one cares about it.

"No, I think so."

Liu Mang said in a low voice: "It's just that I guess, there may be an accident arranged by Mr. Ding, and there may be... an accident."

"Perhaps!" Uncle Biao was no longer very concerned about this matter.

Old Ding is dead, is it useful for him to care about it?

"Uncle Biao, I haven't had dinner yet, so I'm leaving first." It seems that Uncle Biao doesn't know many things, and it's very late now, Liu Mang's staying will also delay Uncle Biao's rest.

"Ah."

Uncle Biao nodded.

After driving out of the Shi's Nursing Home, Liu Mang stopped on the side of the road, not in a hurry to return to the private detective.

Uncle Biao has known Mr. Ding for a while, and from what Uncle Biao said just now, Uncle Biao knows something more or less.

But it may be because Ding Lao and Uncle Biao chatted while playing chess, and the content of the chat was very fragmentary, so Uncle Biao knew it, but he couldn't remember what he and Ding Lao talked about at the beginning.

Half an hour later, Liu Mang returned to the private detective.

Xiao Doubi was leaning on the chair at the moment, his eyes were blank, and he looked very decadent: "Brother, are you back? I can't hold on any longer. I'll rest for half an hour and continue watching."

After Liu Mang went to Shi's Nursing Home, Xiao Doubi didn't dare to stop for a moment, and watched it for several hours. If he hadn't had strong perseverance and strong eyesight, his eyes would have been tired enough to fight after watching the computer video for so long. , his eyes dimmed, and he fell asleep directly on the table.

"It's okay, you can rest first!"

Liu Mang took off his coat and hung it up, sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly: "I will arrange something for you, you should remember first, after you return to work in the city on the seventh day of the lunar new year, you can find a way to go to some Let the lawyer find out who has the closest relationship with Mr. Ding, or maybe Mr. Ding has had a close relationship with that lawyer before."

"what?"

Xiao Doubi, who squinted his eyes, was surprised when he heard Liu Mang say this, and he didn't even understand: "Brother, what are you going to do with a lawyer?"

Xiao Doubi was born as a gangster, and he has been on the road for many years. Although he has reformed now, from the bottom of his heart, he is still somewhat resistant to dealing with lawyers.

Afraid of being troubled by lawyers.

In this world, the most difficult person is not the police, but the lawyer.

Whenever they offend them, they often talk about the law and want to call the police or something.

I don't tell you the worldly ways at all, and solve it in private.

Therefore, Xiao Doubi still has some resistance to lawyers in his heart. If he can not deal with such people, it is best not to deal with them. It is too troublesome.

"Didn't I just say that! Find out who is related to or has been in contact with Mr. Ding." Liu Mang said in a low voice.

Uncle Biao said that Mr. Ding had already made arrangements for his funeral.

Liu Mang believed this sentence without a doubt.

As for whether Uncle Biao believes it or not, that is his own business.

"That... can I not go?"

Xiao Doubi opened his eyes and looked at Liu Mang with a guilty conscience: "Brother, you also know that I was born as a gangster, and gangsters are most afraid of offending lawyers. What if I unknowingly offend others during the investigation?" , You said... Aren't I causing trouble for myself?"

"Moreover, it may cause trouble to you, big brother."

He who has always been fearless, suddenly became timid at this moment.

No way, everyone has their own fears.

Gangsters are afraid of the police, but they are even more afraid of lawyers.

Lawyers look for evidence at every turn and bring the gangsters to court, and the gangsters will spend many years in prison.

Just think, who wants to go to jail?
Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, no one wants to deal with lawyers, or even fight against them.

"You are afraid of a ball!"

Liu Mang rolled his eyes at Xiao Doubi, and snorted, "You want to turn your back on the evil, walk on the right path, and never do bad things again, then don't be afraid. If you are upright, you will not be afraid of the shadow. Guilty."

"You! It's just that you are not firm enough. Once a person has principles and a bottom line, he will not be afraid of doing anything. Even if he fails, he will not have the slightest timidity. So you don't have to be afraid. I can't help you."

"Besides, whoever didn't do a few wrong things when he was young, didn't go astray, and had to correct himself, doesn't need to be afraid of others talking nonsense."

He really didn't know what Xiao Doubi was afraid of.

Afraid of lawyers?
I didn't do anything bad, I just felt guilty because I was a gangster in the past, so what?
"OK then!"

After being reprimanded by Liu Mang, Xiaodoubi realized that his ideological awareness was still not high enough and firm enough: "Brother made you laugh, don't worry, I will do whatever you say in the future, and there will never be any more Doubt, fear and dare not go.”

"That's right, don't be afraid! Be afraid of a ball!"

Liu Mang grinned and said coldly: "Remember one sentence, as long as you believe in something, do it with all your strength, don't care what others say, as long as it is not illegal, there is no need to care about other people's opinions."

"Because, there are always some people in this world who don't want you to live well, and will make things difficult and ridicule in every possible way. When you live well, they are unhappy, and when you are in trouble, they are secretly happy. So you don't need to care too much about other people's thoughts. Life is to live for yourself, not in the opinion of others."

Xiao Doubi's thoughts are still too simple, ignorant of the world, and don't know what he wants.

Deep in my heart, I occasionally feel hesitant, afraid of being rejected, afraid of being ridiculed and ridiculed.

In short, if you are afraid of everything, make a ball!
"Brother taught you the right thing."

Xiao Doubi stood up, lit a cigarette and walked to sit down opposite Liu Mang, "Then I'll go to the lawyer's office to inquire about it after the seventh day of the new year."

"Yeah!" Liu Mang nodded in satisfaction: "Remember, inquiries are inquiries, don't talk nonsense, what shouldn't be said, don't talk about it, we took this case, according to industry rules, we have to keep it secret , must not leak half a word, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Xiao Doubi's heart skipped a beat.

Of course he knows the rules.

Of course a gangster knows what the rules are.

For gangsters, that is morality.

What should be said, what should not be said, must not say a word more.

Otherwise, he will be responsible for the accident.

"Otherwise, you'll just wait for trouble to come to you." Liu Mang said lightly.

He feels that it is necessary to talk about the rules with Xiao Doubi today, so as not to be unaware of accidentally doing something wrong: "One, except for the employer and the police, no one else can disclose the matter about the case, even if you are very close Second, in the investigation of a case, if there is no evidence to prove the matter, that is, to speculate on the matter in the investigation, if someone asks you, you can’t talk nonsense, even if it’s just speculation, you can express your own opinion. Don't talk nonsense, or if something happens, you will be responsible, and I can't help you."

"Well, I see." Xiaodou Bizheng nodded emphatically.

The eldest brother warned him of these things that need to be paid attention to, obviously to let him investigate the clues alone.

In other words, from now on, he may have to take charge of the investigation alone.

Once the eldest brother told him something, he had to complete it by himself, and there must be no mistakes.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the eldest brother can't help him, so he can only carry it by himself.

"Order takeaway!"

Before I knew it, it was past seven o'clock in the evening. Although I felt that I had just eaten lunch not long ago, the feeling of hunger always came very quickly. Liu Mang exhaled and said in a low voice: "You watched the movie for so long Surveillance video, do you see any clues, suspicious people?"

From morning to night, even though there are many surveillance images, it has been more than a year, and there are dozens or hundreds of surveillance cameras, but after watching so many, I should have discovered something!

But Xiaodoubi shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "When I first started watching, I did find that some people came to visit Mr. Ding and brought gifts. Yuedu came to visit Mr. Ding, so the suspicion is very small and can be ruled out at all."

"What age group?" Liu Mang frowned.

I have been visiting Mr. Ding for several months.

This is worth thinking about.

"Five to 60 years old, and very formally dressed, suits and leather shoes, looks quite old." Xiaodoubi recalled, "But they came to visit Mr. Ding, but I watched the video, it seems that Mr. Ding didn't see them at all. , I didn’t show any face at all, just disappeared, I counted, some people ran a dozen times, but Mr. Ding never disappeared, and in the end these visitors had to let it go and never come again.”

Five 60 years old?

Visit, and many more!

It seems that it should be some business figures that Mr. Ding knew when he was doing business.

These people, after learning that Mr. Ding was sick and hospitalized, wanted to visit Taoqian, or ask Mr. Ding to teach him some experience.

After all, Ding Lao was able to create a Ding Group, which shows how strong his own ability is.

"Write down the names and appearances of these people and make a document. After you visit all the law firms in this city, investigate the background identities of these people, find out where they came from, and why they visited Mr. Ding The purpose." Liu Mang said with sharp eyes.

"Brother, I have read the visit registration form!"

Hearing what Liu Mang said, the smile on Xiao Doubi's face froze, and he said in a blunt tone: "There are hundreds of people visiting Ding Lao. , can’t be checked at all.”

"What? Hundreds of people?"

Liu Mang was also dumbfounded when he heard this number.

Hundreds!
This amount of work can't be completed in a few months, and it probably won't be completed in less than half a year.

One a day, three months.

This is all exaggeration.

If a person can investigate clearly within three days, it is considered very fast.

　It's updated!It's almost May Day holiday!You can have a good rest!
