Chapter 293 Don’t Make Trouble Here
"Are you okay? Can't stand the smell of smoke?" Shi Jingming asked softly with concern.
Shen Xing shook his head: "It's a bit too pungent all of a sudden!"
Shi Jingming explained with a smile, "Nowadays, many billiard halls are located in non-smoking shopping malls, and the prices are still expensive. It's much cheaper here, and there are group purchases, and you can smoke, so many people come here."
As they were talking, the two of them had already walked in. Shen Xing took a closer look and was a little surprised. The door from the outside looked very inconspicuous, but he didn't expect that the inside was so big.
There are probably more than a dozen pool tables alone, and most of them are occupied.
The noise inside was very noisy, with the voices of customers and the sounds of billiard balls colliding. Combined with the smoke curling under the incandescent lights and the hip-hop music playing on the store's speakers, this billiard hall seemed particularly urban.
Although Longcheng No. 2 Middle School wasn't located in the city's busiest area, it was surrounded by many modern urban industries. Curious, Shen Xing looked at Shi Jingming and asked, "Where did you find all these places?"
Including the last repair shop.
"Who made me a native?" Shi Jingming smiled proudly. "I grew up here. Many of the shops I used to visit when I was a kid are gone. Only these few are left."
Shen Xing followed Shi Jingming inside and observed curiously. Most of the customers in this billiard hall were young people in their twenties. There were girls too, but they were all sitting on chairs nearby and browsing their phones. They were probably here to play with their boyfriends.
"Jingming is here!"
At this time, the two boys who were playing billiards at table 7 saw Shi Jingming and took the initiative to greet him. One of them directly picked up a pool cue and threw it to him: "Don't waste money to open a table, let's play together."
Shi Jingming took the club and looked at Shen Xing and explained, "My friend, why don't you watch me play a shot first?"
Shen Xing nodded, took Shi Jingming's schoolbag naturally, and walked to a chair nearby to sit down.
"Your classmate?"
"Yes, he's from Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Bring him out for some fun."
"Then let's go together?"
"Let him see one shot first. He won't be able to hit it."
Shi Jingming chatted casually with his friend for a few words, then walked to the front of the table, bent over, stuck out his butt, and assumed a very professional posture. His hands, eyes, and club were in a straight line, and then he swung the club cleanly. The "white ball" flew out, knocking the neatly placed balls on the table into all directions.
Shen Xing knew nothing about billiards, but he was smart. He just watched silently for a while and roughly figured out the rules and how to play billiards.
But I have to say that Shi Jingming's skills are really bad!
After the round, Shi Jingming walked over to Shen Xing and raised his chin: "Want to try?"
"I'll just take a look today and try it next time."
He felt a little guilty about giving him, a complete novice, to practice on someone else's stage.
"Anyway, I'm here with you today, just have fun." Shen Xing said again.
Shi Jingming didn't force him, but nodded: "Okay, then I'll play two more shots and then we'll go?"
"good."
After watching for a while, Shen Xing realized that Shi Jingming was the type of person who was both inexperienced and playful, and his blood pressure rose a little.
He stood up and walked to the counter inside. "Hello, I want four cans of 'Arctic Ocean.'"
I bought a few bottles of drinks and shared them with Shi Jingming and his friends.
"Thank you!"
The two boys happily took the drinks and thanked Shen Xing. However, Shi Jingming whispered, "Drinks are expensive here. Don't buy them next time."
Shen Xing was about to say it was okay when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and his expression was visibly stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Jingming was also stunned when he saw this. He turned around and looked in the direction Shen Xing was looking, but he didn't find anything strange.
"What's wrong? What did you see?" Shi Jingming asked.
Shen Xing didn't say anything, but quickly took out his cell phone and found the surveillance video of the parking shed. He looked down at the surveillance screen, then looked up at someone not far away.
Shi Jingming was initially confused, but after seeing Shen Xing's actions, he suddenly understood: "You recognized him?"
Shen Xing frowned and said, "I'm not sure."
The surveillance camera did not capture a clear frontal face, but one of the men's coats was very eye-catching, with a black and white color scheme and a large "skull" on the back. The man he noticed at this time was wearing exactly the same style.
"Look at the clothes!" Shen Xing pointed to Shi Jingming.
Shi Jingming also recognized it as the same style at a glance: "It's possible. This place is close to No. 2 Middle School. Maybe it's him."
"Jingming, what's wrong?"
At this time, the two boys on the side saw that they seemed to have something to say, and couldn't help but come closer and ask.
Shi Jingming didn't elaborate on the specifics, but simply asked one of them, "Hua Zi, do you know the guy wearing the skull jacket on Channel 4?"
Hua Zi looked up at him, but quickly looked away, looking nervous, "Are you talking about the golden sword?"
"Golden sword?"
"Yeah, the one with the black and white coat and the skull on the back. His name is Jin Dao. Do you have a relationship with him?"
Shi Jingming glanced over there again, but Huazi reached out and turned his face away: "Don't look anymore, people will be coming soon, let's not offend them."
"What's wrong? Is he a powerful person?" Shi Jingming was puzzled.
He only comes to this billiard hall to play occasionally when he feels like playing, and he usually leaves after playing a few shots. He doesn't have much interaction with other people here.
But Huazi and the others are different. They come here almost every day and know the people and things here much better than he does.
Hua Zi lowered his voice and explained, "He's okay, but he's hanging out with Brother Kai. You'd better not mess with him."
Brother Kai?
Isn’t the owner of this billiard hall called Brother Kai?
Shi Jingming understood this.
Although no one has ever met Brother Kai, everyone who plays billiards in this billiard hall has heard of this name. It is said that this billiard hall has been open for so many years without closing because Brother Kai has strong connections and no one has ever dared to cause trouble for him.
Although Shen Xing didn't know who Brother Kai was, he could tell that he was no ordinary person.
"Xing, why don't you sneak out and call the police?" Shi Jingming suddenly said.
Shen Xing was stunned and quickly shook his head. The main reason was that he couldn't confirm that it was the man named Jin Dao just by looking at a jacket of the same style. Moreover, not only was Shi Jingming there, but there were also two boys who had nothing to do with him or this matter. If he rashly called the police at this time, it would definitely implicate others.
"It's not easy to call the police, and people like this can't be easily provoked. If the police come and find out they made a mistake, wouldn't that offend them?"
The boy next to him nodded when he heard this: "Your classmate is right, don't cause trouble here, and don't mess with Brother Kai's people!"
