Chapter 2441

Du Zai's brows were tightly frowned, his heart was shrouded in an invisible heavy pressure, and his face showed an unprecedented solemnity. No matter how Gedeng and the others played, he sat there without a word.

"Damn it!" Scarhead cursed violently: "Du Zai, are you a mute or what? Can't you even speak?"

If it were normal times, Du Zai would definitely not tolerate Scarhead, and a conflict would definitely be unavoidable. Because both of them had bad tempers, and they could "live in peace" for so many years because of Jia Dai's mediation. However, this time, Du Zai was unusually calm, only slightly lifting his eyelids to look at Scarhead, and then returned to his previous silence.

Seeing this, the anger in Gedeng's heart was also ignited. He couldn't help but kick Du Zai, but didn't dare to use force: "Speak, what happened?"

Du Zai sighed slowly and finally broke the silence: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I haven't figured out the key to the problem yet. Or rather, I'm not sure if my guess is correct."

Big Donkey on the side also became impatient, muttering and complaining: "No matter what it is, you say it, and we'll discuss it together. But you don't say anything like this, and you can't figure it out yourself, and we don't know anything, we can only be anxious as hell!"

Du Zai didn't respond to Big Donkey, his head gently knocking against the wall one after another, making a 'dong dong' sound. This monotonous knocking sound seemed to be able to help him calm down.

"I... I was betrayed."

"You were betrayed?" Big Donkey's voice suddenly became low, and his originally loud voice was no longer loud at this moment. He widened his eyes and looked at Du Zai in disbelief: "Your brothers betrayed you?"

"No!" Du Zai shook his head lightly, his tone firm: "My brothers absolutely couldn't have betrayed me."

Gedeng's heart moved. He keenly captured a clue in Du Zai's words and hurriedly asked: "Do you already have a guess in your heart? Who is he?"

Du Zai took a deep breath and said slowly: "This person knows me very well, but he is not one of my brothers, so there is only one person left."

Gedeng, Scarhead, and Big Donkey asked in unison: "Who?"

Du Zai didn't answer them directly, but lowered his voice and said softly: "That night at the first bar, we were all taken to the branch, including Brother Jia Dai. But one person was let go."

Gedeng's eyes instantly froze. He immediately thought of the scene that night. At that time, all of them were arrested, and only one person left safely, and the police let him go in front of everyone. And this person was Wen Simao.

"Du Zai, can you be sure?" Gedeng's voice carried a trace of doubt. He hoped Du Zai could give a definite answer.

Du Zai shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I'm not sure, that's why I haven't said it."

Scarhead's reaction was obviously half a beat slower than the others. Only then did he understand who Du Zai and Gedeng were talking about. His eyes instantly filled with murderous intent, and he said fiercely.

"Wen Simao better not have betrayed us, otherwise when I get out, I will definitely take a knife, cut his fat into slices, and eat it in a hot pot!"

Big Donkey seemed to have a brain that wasn't very bright, and only then did he wake up like a dream: "Who are you talking about? Wen Simao betrayed Du Zai?"

"It's not certain yet if it's Wen Simao, because I'm just guessing." Du Zai stood up and wanted to say something else, but the iron door of the detention room was pushed open with a 'clatter'.

Two police officers walked in, one of them carrying a large basin filled with cornmeal buns, and several bowls placed on top. The other one was carrying a bucket filled with stewed cabbage without a drop of oil.

"Time to eat!" The police officer carrying the basin put the four bowls on the ground, then distributed two buns to each of the four people, Du Zai and the others, without even a plate, just placing them directly into their hands. What people didn't expect was that this police officer took out a chicken leg from the basin and put it in Du Zai's hand.

"This is the extra meal for you at noon."

Du Zai widened his eyes, looked at the chicken leg in his hand, couldn't help but smell it under his nose, and tears almost fell. He had been locked up here for more than ten days, eating buns and clear soup with stewed cabbage every day, and his mouth was almost tasteless. Being able to have a chicken leg for an extra meal today really made him happy.

Du Zai opened his mouth and was about to take a bite of the chicken leg when the police officer took out a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches from his pocket and handed them to him together: "This is also for you."

Du Zai was stunned, and began to feel uneasy in his heart. It wasn't his first time coming in, and he knew this situation all too well. Once the police give you cigarettes to smoke and wine to drink, it definitely won't be anything good.

Just when Du Zai was still in a daze, Big Donkey suddenly became anxious. He had been holding back for more than ten days without cigarettes to smoke, and he was scratching his heart and liver every day. No matter what purpose the police had in giving Du Zai cigarettes, he would take them first to satisfy his craving.

Big Donkey didn't hesitate at all, reached out violently, and with a 'whoosh', snatched the cigarettes from the police officer's hand. He gripped the cigarette box tightly, very afraid that the cigarettes in his hand would suddenly fly away, and then said to the police officer with a fawning smile: "Comrade Police, I'll keep these cigarettes for Du Zai."

This police officer glanced at Big Donkey faintly, didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the detention room slowly. And the other police officer had already filled the cabbage soup into the bowls.

"You guys eat quickly, I'll come to collect the bowls in half an hour."

After speaking, he followed out of the detention room, then closed the iron door with a 'bang' and locked it.

With the closing of the iron door, the detention room instantly fell into silence. But Big Donkey couldn't wait to tear open the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, and then quickly lit it with a match. He took a deep breath, and the smoke instantly filled his mouth and lungs, making him feel an unprecedented satisfaction, and an extremely enjoyable expression appeared on his face.

"Damn it, it's been more than ten days!" Big Donkey muttered to himself: "With this one puff, I feel like I'm going to ascend to heaven."

Immediately after, Gedeng and Scarhead also couldn't hold back, snatching cigarettes from Big Donkey's hand one after another, and lighting one up hungrily. Then they also took a fierce puff, the enjoyable expression even more exaggerated than Big Donkey's, as if this cigarette was everything in their lives.

"What are you dazing for, hurry up and smoke a cigarette!" Big Donkey's voice suddenly sounded in Du Zai's ear, giving this guy a shock and instantly bringing him back to his senses.

Big Donkey hurriedly took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and stuffed it into Du Zai's mouth. Du Zai subconsciously bit the cigarette, and before he could react, Big Donkey had already picked up the matches, and with a 'click', the flame jumped up and lit the cigarette.

Du Zai took a deep breath, maybe a bit too fiercely, coughed a few times, and then laughed: "It's fortunate they didn't give me a bottle of wine, otherwise I would really doubt whether I could see tomorrow's sun."

"Damn it, when did you, Du Zai, become so timid? Even if we are to be executed, we have to go to court first, right?" Scarhead cursed, his tone full of disdain and sarcasm.

Gedeng shook his head. Scarhead was just a brainless idiot, and he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, so he turned to Du Zai and said: "What should we do next?"

Du Zai puffed on the cigarette, the smoke swirling in front of him. After a long while, he said slowly: "Next, the three of you will definitely be interrogated, and then you will know if the one who betrayed me is Wen Simao."

Gedeng thought solemnly for a long while before saying: "You mean, if Wen Simao really betrayed you, then he will definitely betray us without hesitation, right?"

"That's right!" Du Zai nodded, extinguished the half-smoked cigarette, and skillfully tucked it behind his ear. Then this guy started eating the bun with one hand and the chicken leg with the other, eating it very deliciously.

"Damn it, it's too dry." Du Zai muttered, bent down to pick up a bowl of cabbage soup, drank a few mouthfuls, and then stretched his neck and swallowed the things in his mouth.

"It's fine that the bun is hard, but the cabbage soup is actually ice cold. Can't you get us something hot?"

"That!" Big Donkey grinned and smiled at Du Zai: "Old Du, can you let me have a bite of your chicken leg? Just one bite, I won't eat much."

"Get out!" Du Zai cursed: "You guys hurry up and eat, otherwise when they come to collect the bowls later, you'll only be able to gnaw on the dry buns!"

Hearing this, the three of them woke up like a dream, hurriedly picked up their bowls, and started eating with their heads down. But their eyes always drifted involuntarily to the chicken leg in Du Zai's hand, the tempting aroma constantly seducing their taste buds.

A broken chicken leg, outside, they wouldn't eat this stuff even if they were paid. But now they really wanted to eat it, but they knew very well that Du Zai would definitely not share the chicken leg with them, not even a small bite.

They entered the detention center and hadn't had any oil for more than ten days. Du Zai would definitely not be stingy with cigarettes, everyone could smoke together, but they could only watch the chicken leg.

"Hiccup!" Du Zai let out a full burp. Today's meal was also the fullest he had eaten in these ten-plus days.

With a 'clatter', the iron door of the detention room was opened, and the police officer came to collect the bowls.

Gedeng and the three of them slurped, hurriedly drank the soup in the bowls, and then handed the bowls over.

The police officer took the bowls, turned around and walked out of the detention room. Immediately after, two more police officers appeared at the door, one of whom said coldly.

"Wang Kuishan!"

"Here!" Gedeng looked at Du Zai and shouted 'here'.

"Come out!" The police officer said coldly: "Come with us."
