That day, the gangsters came to hang out in the store as usual.
Fang Pingxi had long been accustomed to it, and there were other guests to take care of, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
After all, in his opinion, it doesn't matter how many things these people want, just treat them as paying protection fees.
But this time, the gangster only stayed for about ten minutes, bought a bar of chocolate and left.
Fang Pingxi was a little surprised for a moment, but the busyness of the store made him not think much about it.
However, in the afternoon, four or five security guards came to the door.
The leader's face was serious, "We suspect that your place is a drug hiding place, please cooperate with our investigation now!"
Monk Fang Pingxi Zhang Er was confused, but the security guard didn't explain to him and started searching directly.
His movements violently messed up his merchandise and knocked over his shelves.
Fang Ping couldn't stop complaining, and he didn't know how long it would take to deal with it.
Moreover, their formation was so large that the neighbors thought he had committed some crime, and they would have to think twice about buying anything again in the future.
Just when he was still thinking about how to eliminate the impact of the security officer's search, the leading security officer walked up to him.
He was holding a transparent sealed bag in his hand, with something wrapped in layers of paper.
The security guard opened the sealed bag and paper ball on the counter and saw some white crystals wrapped inside.
A security guard came forward with an instrument to take a test, and the instrument beeped.
The leading security officer looked at Fang Pingxi, "You have nothing to say now, right? Come back to the police station with us!"
Fang Pingxi hurriedly defended: "There must be some misunderstanding! Someone is framing me!"
"My business is so good, why do I need to sell this thing!"
The security guard sneered, "You still want to deny it! Do you think we will come to check you for no reason?"
"From the surveillance on the street corner, I saw that a group of gangsters often come to your store. They stay there for half an hour and come seven or eight times a day!"
"According to our investigation, those gangsters were suspected of dealing in illegal drugs!"
The security guard asked: "Tell me, would I stay in your store for so long to buy something?"
Fang Pingxi's eyes widened in astonishment. He had never thought that those gangsters wandering around his shop were doing this kind of thing.
He hated that he was greedy for cheap and did not install surveillance in the store. Now he can't defend himself.
"Now that everyone has gained the stolen goods, you have nothing to defend! Let's go!" the security officer concluded as he closed the coffin.
So Fang Pingxi was escorted out of the store and watched as the security guards sealed up his store.
Before he got into the police car, the owner of another convenience store at the corner of the street came out to see him, with a sinister smile on his face.
At that moment, Fang Pingxi had an enlightenment.
"Sir! That guy must have framed him..." He excitedly pointed at the boss with his shackled hands, and his body moved sideways excitedly.
"Bang!" He was stabbed in the waist with a stick by the security guard, and he grimaced in pain.
The deputy pulled him by his hair and pushed him into the car.
He shouted: "Be honest! Do you still want to attack the security guard?"
Fang Pingxi's face was still twisted in pain, and he had no energy to retort, so he could only be locked in the car by the security guard.
Then he was sent to the police station. No matter how he claimed that he was wronged, the security officers ignored him.
They interrogated Fang Pingxi in shifts, shining strong lights on him, depriving him of sleep, and only gave him a sip of water for three to four hours.
Fang Pingxi was forced to endure it no longer and shouted uncontrollably at the security guards. As a result, they immediately gave him a severe beating.
They beat Fang Pingxi very skillfully. They would first put a book on Fang Pingxi's body, and then beat him with a duty stick.
In this way, there will be no scars left on his body at all.
Just like that, after five days of hard work, Fang Pingxi couldn't bear it anymore and said that he could do anything.
Only then did the security guards smile.
They pointed out a "clear path" for him. Anyway, they haven't caught Fang Pingxi's next person so far, so they can also close the case on Fang Pingxi's charge of taking illegal drugs.
But in the process, some management was needed, so Fang Pingxi was asked to pay some money.
Fang Pingxi couldn't resist, so he had to give the security officer his hard-earned savings.
Then he was sent to a drug rehabilitation center. He didn't know what he was doing there, but according to regulations, he had to stay there for three months before being released.
When he came out three months later, everything had changed.
The house he rented had already moved in with new residents because he had not paid rent for three months.
The landlord of his shop heard about his arrest and refused to rent to him any more.
Fang Ping had no choice but to ask the landlord to allow him a few days to transfer the goods from the store.
The landlord only gave him two days, but where could he find a solution in just two days?
Just when he was frowning, the owner of the convenience store around the corner came to his door and asked Fang Pingxi arrogantly if he could sell his goods.
Fang Pingxi was furious when he looked at his appearance, but those five days of devilish interrogation had completely paralyzed his spine.
He pinched his nose and sold the goods to the boss at a very low price. He took the payment and found a hotel to stay temporarily.
Then he lived in seclusion every day, calling for room service when he was hungry, and falling asleep when he was sleepy.
In this way, I watched TV day and night, numbing myself with alcohol.
He felt that everything was ridiculous, even though he had worked so hard, he still ended up like this.
God may bring retribution to some evildoers, but it will be a drop in the bucket.
Because evil people are always coming out in a steady stream, and they are always encountered by him.
When drunk, he cursed his aunt, the security guard, the convenience store owner, and society as a whole.
He also scolded himself.
After the scolding, a flood of despair and sorrow would come over him. He would often cry to sleep after getting drunk and wake up crying again.
He lamented his fate.
After that, he finally experienced numbness.
He made up his mind to never work hard again. If the world has rotted into this, then let him rot with it.
At that time, all the money in his hand had been squandered, and he had no choice but to leave the hotel.
He bought a tent at the second-hand market and lived under a nearby overpass.
He is not the only one living under the overpass, there are also many homeless people. They are mainly composed of old people who are unwilling to cause trouble to their children and wander around.
Then there are runaway kids and people with disabilities.
They were very tolerant and quickly accepted Fang Pingxi, an outsider, letting him camp near everyone, telling him where he could get free water, and occasionally giving him some food.
Fang Pingxi faced their kindness and neither refused nor appreciated it. He just lived numbly.
Over time, because of his taciturnity, the homeless people called him mute.
In this way, the mute has been living under the overpass. The people around him have changed one after another, but he has always been there.
