Pawnshop No. 8: Lord of Darkness

As Liu Xingan finished speaking, Lin Yan fully understood the whole story of what happened.

One day a month ago, Liu Xing'an's wife Lu Guihua came home at night and asked casually. She learned that her son Liu Hong had been in the bedroom for ten hours and had not come out.

After breakfast, he kept himself locked in the bedroom.

During lunch, the servant knocked on the door, but received no response, so he did not dare to disturb him any further.

At first, Lu Guihua thought that something had happened to her son and he was in a bad mood, so he wanted to comfort him.

But after knocking on the door for more than ten minutes, there was still no movement in the bedroom.

Lu Guihua sensed something was wrong and asked the security guards to force the door open. He found that his son Liu Hong had fallen to the ground and stopped breathing.

The room was filled with the smell of burning charcoal and it was difficult to breathe.

It was obvious that the death was caused by suffocation due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

After that, the investigators arrived, carefully inspected the scene, and finally determined that Liu Hong had committed suicide.

The reason is simple. The bedroom windows, doors and all ventilated places are all sealed with strong tape.

In this case, there is only one possibility.

That is, before Liu Hong committed suicide, he sealed all the windows and doors, then burned charcoal and committed suicide.

There is nothing suspicious about it.

Because this is what Lu Guihua saw when he forced his way into the bedroom.

If it was a homicide, it would be impossible for the murderer to seal the windows and doors inside without leaving any trace after the murder, and then disappear mysteriously.

Even after listening to Liu Xingan's description, Lin Yan subconsciously felt that this was suicide.

After all, in that world, there were no special powers, just ordinary people.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yan asked,"With your status, it shouldn't be difficult to find a top detective, right?"

Liu Xing'an smiled bitterly and said,"The one with the highest reputation in the industry is Shangguan Ming, who is known as the detective. , it is very difficult to ask him to come out. In addition to the high fees, it also requires a lot of favors."

"So cool?" Lin Yan glanced at Liu Xing'an suspiciously.

Hearing the meaning of Lin Yan's words, Liu Xing'an explained:"His family background is not simple either."

"oh."

Only then did Lin Yan understand.

I mean, he's just a detective. No matter how powerful he is, he's just a detective. How could he not even give Liu Xing'an face?

It turns out he's also a second-generation super official.

"Then what?" Lin Yan continued to ask.

Liu Xing'an shook his head and said,"I found some clues, but I still can't give a verdict of homicide because there is no possibility of committing the crime."

"In the end, Shangguan Ming had no choice but to explain the unusual events by coincidence."

"The conclusion is still suicide. Lin

Yan fell silent.

After a while, Lin Yan spoke:"How can you be so sure it's not suicide?" Liu

Xing'an said firmly:"He is my son. No one knows him better than me. No matter what happens, he will never go to extremes.""

"It seems that you are proud of this son"

"Yes."Liu Xing'an nodded,"He is not one of those rich second generations who are just waiting to die. He has his own career. Although he is immature, he is still good enough. Lin

Yan hummed, tapping the table with his right hand habitually.

After a moment, Lin Yan said:"I can go over and see the scene, but no matter what the result is, you have to pay the pawn.""

"This is natural."

Liu Xing'an has no objection to this issue.

"So, what do you want to pawn? Lin Yan smiled.

Liu Xing'an pondered for a while and said,"Since your land does not accept money, due to special reasons, I cannot pawn everything I own."

Hearing this, Lin Yan's eyes moved and he said,"Go on.""

"Boss Lin, how about this?"

"I am a well-known figure in Kyoto. As long as I am there, I can do anything. How about we exchange it?"

"You do something for me, and I do something for you?"

Hearing this, Lin Yan looked at Liu Xing'an seriously, his expression unchanged, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It was obvious that what Liu Xing'an said did not arouse his interest.

Liu Xing'an hesitated and continued:" How about...three things?"

"I know that Boss Lin is very capable, but there should be things that he doesn’t want to do personally, right?"

"Boss Lin is a businessman. I think my promise should be of help to you."

After saying that, Liu Xing'an looked at Lin Yan expectantly.

Unless he had to, he didn't want to pawn those things that would be lost forever.

Those are precious things that money can't buy.

After pondering for a while, Lin Yan smiled. He smiled and said:"Okay, five things, I decided happily."

"five items? Liu Xing'an was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded:"Okay!" Just five pieces!"

"Wait a moment. Lin Yan stretched out his hand and reminded:"I want to give Mr. Liu a piece of advice in advance. Favors from Pawnshop No. 8 are not so easy to repay.""

"On the premise of not hurting your relatives and friends, you have to do anything, do you understand?"

"If there is a breach of contract, the consequences will be serious.……"

Hearing these words, Liu Xingan's face became slightly solemn.

However, he has also experienced strong winds and waves, and did not flinch. He nodded directly:"That's natural!"

"very good."

Lin Yan clapped his hands, and then motioned to Yiyi to draft a transaction document.
