Fa Zhou's magic is a semi-fictional story.

Nightcrawler series is a modern urban legend.

So as to achieve the purposes of entertainment and warning.

Li Jie had been detained for four days when I met him in Chaoyang District Detention Center.

We sat in the lawyer's interview room of the detention center. His face is sallow, his eyes are swollen and he has no strength. I handed him the cigarette and lighter, and when he bowed his head and lit it, I saw a bald hair on the back of his head.

He took a deep breath and saw me staring at his hair. He smiled wryly: "I have been protecting my head since I was a child, and I have always had long hair. My dad hit me and scolded me, but I didn't even cut it. I didn't expect to shave an inch in two days. It seems that I am going to be sentenced. "

Lawyer Bao, who represented the case, told him to be optimistic, saying that the situation was not clear and there were no serious consequences.

Kai Lee shook his head: "I heard from my cellmate that only those who have to be sentenced shave their heads, and those who don't sue don't shave their heads. Haha, it's okay. Judge if you want. There is no energy outside! "

Lawyer interview room

The investigation of Kai Lee was purely coincidental. That day, Zhou Yong was painting Weibo, and suddenly he said, "Brother Xu, someone on Line 2 has been pushed down."

I asked Zhou Yong if he was dead. Zhou Yong said no, but the man who was pushed climbed up again. After all, why do I hate it so much?

Zhou Yong flipped through his mobile phone twice and said with a smile, "This is so stupid, because of spitting!"

On 2065438+06 * *, when Kai Lee was waiting for the subway at the * * station of Line 2, the person next to him was pushed off the track because the other person spat on the ground.

Zhou showed me Weibo.

I pushed a complete stranger off the subway because of spitting. I think there must be something hidden in this case.

I decided to look into the matter.

Many people misunderstand Nightcrawler, thinking that we only investigate some bizarre criminal cases. Even Zhou Yong thinks so.

I told him that I would investigate this "subway pushing incident" this time, and he complained: "Brother Xu, we are not short of money. Is it too fucking boring to investigate this? "

I told him that we mainly investigate violent crimes, but occasionally we have to change our tastes, otherwise people will be abnormal.

Zhou Yong interjected: "It's boring."

I said that this person may have killed someone intentionally, and Zhou Yong immediately realized: "Then don't wait, hurry up, someone must have got there first!"

When I started the investigation, the major media had interviewed the parties and restored the incident. I called Jing Tian and asked if I could find an acquaintance in the media, and asked the contact information of the sponsor.

The news at that time

Soon, Jing Tian called back and said that he didn't get the contact information, only knowing that the name of the pusher was Kai Lee.

I asked Jing Tian to find her friend in the media, help me to contact the person who was pushed off the subway, and asked if I could talk to him. Jing Tian agreed and hung up.

Zhou Yong and I used keywords such as "Beijing Kai Lee" to search for information on the Internet, and found a person who had worked in a startup called "Little Telegraph".

I called this company and said I was a friend of Kai Lee's. There is something wrong with him now. The other party asked Kai Lee's contact information and his emergency contact.

Who is your emergency contact?

I couldn't get through to Kai Lee, but I was very happy-it increased the possibility that this Kai Lee was the pusher.

The father on the other end of the phone is the pusher, but he told me that he doesn't care about this. He has hired a lawyer for Kai Lee, which is considered extremely tolerant. Let him die for the rest.

Does the problem of family education create a Kai Lee that pushes people off the track? With this question, I consulted Kai Lee's lawyer Bao Hao.

Lawyer Bao

Two days later, as Bao's assistant, I met him in Chaoyang District Detention Center.

Kai Lee looked like a heavy smoker, so he finished one quickly, picked up one cigarette from the table and lit another. At this time, he finally relaxed a little and adjusted his posture slightly: "Ask whatever you want."

I asked him if he hated people spitting so much.

He nodded briefly: "It's annoying. I think spitting in public is similar to defecating in public, but I have never seen these people stopped. "

"I really feel sick. Not only do I have no quality, but how many bacteria are there in that sputum! "

Please don't spit everywhere.

When he said these words, Kai Lee's face showed obvious disgust.

I asked him if he had ever quarreled with anyone for spitting before. He shook his head. "This is the first time."

There must be something unusual about being such a blockbuster for the first time.

Before coming to the detention center, I had a long chat with lawyer Bao, the attorney of this case, to discuss why I did this.

Lawyer Bao also has a headache: "This young man doesn't like to talk about his own business. If you say you don't like to talk at ordinary times, forget it. I don't like talking at this time. What should I do? This is a lawsuit! "

However, Lawyer Bao remembered to mention his ex-girlfriend: "It seems that he came with his ex-girlfriend. He mentioned this when I asked him for information. "

I think this is a starting point. I asked Li Kai if I could talk about my ex-girlfriend.

Kai Lee: "There is nothing to say. We are fellow villagers and college lovers. One year after graduation, we came to Beijing together. "

When asked about the reason for breaking up, he smiled: "She doesn't really want to come to Beijing, but I do. Then something happened, and I went back to Harbin. "

"I don't want to go back and become a long-distance relationship. I broke up in two months. "

Kelly said that he still has the ticket to Beijing that year.

I asked him what happened to his ex-girlfriend, but Kai Lee didn't want to talk more: "I don't think it's safe to be beaten by someone I don't know."

Talking about why he didn't go home, Kai Lee suddenly became talkative.

"Just want to mix up!

My father doesn't want me to come to Beijing. He wants me to take the civil service exam at home.

When I graduated, I was admitted to our local taxation bureau. Father was very happy at that time and invited relatives and friends to dinner every day. I worked in the local taxation bureau for half a year.

The leader asked me to write materials, and he did. If he doesn't write materials, he just drinks tea and reads newspapers every day. Because he is the youngest, he also takes the initiative to clean the office, and the rest is gone.

This is a life where you can see yourself in 30 years. "

I can imagine Kai Lee doing it.

In view of the difficulty of the decision to resign and come to Beijing, and the resistance he suffered.

Some people dream of things that others don't want.

"My dad wants to break off the father-son relationship with me. I said the law forbade him to sever the father-son relationship. He took the electric mosquito swatter at home and beat me up.

I haven't been home for the Spring Festival in recent years. I called my mother several times and asked if I was okay.

At the end of 10, I took my saved salary and came to Beijing with my girlfriend. I rented a room in lishuiqiao at 1800 for one month, and shared a bathroom with two other companies.

The girl in the next room is a salesman. She loves to lose her hair in the shower. She blocks the water every time she takes a shower. Every time my girlfriend and I take a shower, we have to pick up the hair from the floor drain and throw it into the trash can, otherwise there will be water accumulation.

Every time I feel, I will pick out a virgin from the floor drain.

Sharing often encounters the situation that the hair is stuck in the water.

I don't feel bitter, I just want to live differently and succeed. "

Three years before coming to Beijing, Kai Lee moved around two big companies and a startup, and then made a decision.

"In Beijing, people with a little ability will start their own businesses sooner or later." Kai Lee said and lit the last cigarette: "You are a little uncomfortable with Marlboro. I still like smoking flue-cured tobacco. China's flue-cured tobacco technology can't compare with foreign countries! "

I said, let's talk about entrepreneurship. What happened from the beginning of the business to pushing people off the subway?

Kai Lee told me that we can talk: "But you have to go first, follow the route I told you, take some photos and bring me a box of flue-cured tobacco, Hongtashan."

Kelly suggested smoking Hongta Mountain.

Even if Li Kai doesn't talk about it, I will go to see Kai Lee's life track from lishuiqiao to Zhongguancun.

There is no loophole in what he says now, leaving almost no doubt-except the ex-girlfriend who doesn't want to mention it.

The next morning, my name is Zhou Xiaoyong, and I asked him to visit Kay Lee's place with me.

We took a taxi to lishuiqiao, and Kai Lee lived in an apartment not far from Exit A of lishuiqiao subway, about 400 meters away.

Kai Lee told me yesterday that he has lived here since Beijing. At first, he shared a room. Later, I jumped twice, and my salary once rose to nearly 2w.

In addition, my girlfriend found a sales job in a 4s shop, which is about 7k a month. The two of them changed to a 50-square-meter living alone, which costs more than 4,000 yuan a month.

When Zhou Yong and I were standing downstairs in the apartment rented by Kai Lee, Zhou Yong was still struggling: "Why was his girlfriend beaten? Did you call the police? Do you have any photos? "

I said his ex-girlfriend might be a breakthrough. Today, after I took photos, you went to look for information about his ex-girlfriend.

After taking photos, you can show Kay Lee some ideas and equipment.

Zhou Yong was puzzled: "How to find it? If there are no names and photos, Xu Ge, don't make trouble! "

I said that if what he said is true, his girlfriend works in a 4s shop, it must be in a 4s shop near a station on Line 13 or Line 5.

Because Kelly herself works in Zhongguancun, it is inconvenient to live in lishuiqiao. It must be convenient for his girlfriend to live here.

Kay Lee spends two hours commuting every day.

I asked Zhou Yong to find a 4s shop with a monthly salary of around 7,000 around 13 and Line 5. Zhou Yong left with a full face of resentment.

I took pictures of the breakfast stall in lishuiqiao A and the breakfast stall in Shangdi A on the 13 line, and the bus stop 200 meters apart. Then I got on the bus stop 68 1 which Kai Lee takes every day, and got off at Sports University Station.

After five minutes' walk, we arrived at Zhongguancun Private Science and Technology Pioneer Park, a pioneering place in Kai Lee.

When Kai Lee told me that they started their business in Zhongguancun Private Venture Science Park, I unconsciously thought of Zhongguancun Venture Building, Sinosteel Plaza and other tall and bright office buildings.

Zhongguancun venture building

But when I arrived at Zhongguancun Private Science and Technology Pioneer Park, I found that it was completely different from what I imagined-too TM!

Its appearance reminds me of the Yuanmingyuan not far from here, which was burnt down by Eight-Nation Alliance.

The shabby private science and technology venture park

Kai Lee smoked Hongtashan, flipped through the photos I took on the computer and smiled: "It's quite complete, even the breakfast stall was taken."

He pointed to the building where he lived:

"After my girlfriend returned to China, I didn't change this house. It stands to reason that I started my business in Zhongguancun and live in lishuiqiao, which is far away from here. I throw it in the traffic for two hours every day, but I just don't want to change this house.

I have lived here for five years since I called Beijing. Sometimes I feel that I am from Harbin, and sometimes I feel that I am from Changping.

Later, someone told me that this piece of lishuiqiao is Chaoyang, not Changping, so I wondered where it came from! "

Li Kai rented an apartment when he came to Beijing.

Kai Lee's entrepreneurial content is rambling on WeChat and Weibo.

Now, whether it's comics or novels, TM refers to the right to make money and gives it to them. We also created a jb industry, so we work for people in disguise again!

What's more, strange series like "Cosmetic Liquid" are all fired up through WeChat Weibo, which proves that there can be traffic without relying on comic websites. "

Talking about Zhai Luman, he talked about Kan Kan: "South Korea has done a very good job in this respect, and there are many things worth learning. I want to make our "unruly" series into IP, just like "cosmetic liquid", and then develop IP value, and then develop new IP, and gradually spread the booth!

The "Unwinding" of Korean Tiaoman

It's like "Ghost Blowing Lights" and "Tomb Raider Notes".

You know Duannao, right? Domestic cartoons, to be honest, are not interesting. But I heard that the film and television adaptation rights sold 6.5438+million! "

Seriously, I don't think they did as well as I did. It's just that some time ago, Mr. Fashion's special article "The Pacific Escape" sold more than one million, which heated up this kind of non-fiction writing IP. "

Through The Great Escape from the Pacific, I asked Kay Lee what he thought of killing people. He didn't answer, and then turned the photo to show me:

"I basically won't go to the breakfast stall in lishuiqiao to buy food. It's uncivilized to eat on the subway. I'm afraid it will get cold when I get off the bus.

Breakfast stand at Lishuiqiao Station

Do you know why you can't eat on the subway? I don't know if it's because the smell affects others or because you are afraid of mice.

Eating in the subway will attract rats.

So I usually buy a pancake at the exit of Shanghai, wait for the bus, or eat it at the sports institute.

Before starting a business, I was too tired to eat breakfast every day. After starting a business, I found that I was too tired to eat breakfast. "

Looking back, I saw the dilapidated building of Beijing Private Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center. Li Jie smiled.

"At our best, we got a seed money and moved here. 15 The entrepreneurial situation was particularly good in the first few months. Especially around May, the Prime Minister came to Zhongguancun Street.

The Prime Minister of Chuangye Street in Zhongguancun

At that time, in Zhongguancun, there was an idea that if you made a PPT, someone would give you money.

At that time, we spent two weeks doing two articles and a PPT, met several investors, and soon got seed money.

The first thing to do when you meet an investor now is to ask how your ideas make cash.

After taking hundreds of thousands, we first found a family of nine heads and had a big meal. We chose Jiutou because we heard that Liu took the first batch of employees, ate Jiutou and made a fortune.

So we also want to borrow good luck. "

Speaking of which, it's visiting time again. After I left Chaoyang District Detention Center, I received a phone call from Jing Tian, saying that the man who was pushed off the subway wanted to talk to me.

The man pushed off the subway is a mature man, in his thirties, married, with a five-year-old daughter, whose daughter-in-law doesn't go to work and is a full-time housewife.

And he himself is an angel investor, specializing in content entrepreneurship.

You can find some information about him online.

The only thing he has access to Kay Lee is the identity of an angel investor who specializes in investing in entrepreneurs. But when I asked him, he said he didn't know Kay Lee at all.

With this question, the next day I went to Chaoyang District Detention Center and listened to Kai Li's entrepreneurial story.

Kai Lee and his two partners, with 650,000 seed money, began to recruit people, and even rented office space and bought computers to recruit people. In the first month, they spent hundreds of thousands.

"At that time, we wanted to use these hundreds of thousands of dollars to make good content as soon as possible, and then immediately started angel round financing to get more money, at least in the order of 500w to1000 W.

But things are not as simple as we thought, and we have encountered many problems. "

When I asked him what his problem was, Kai Lee dusted the floor and frowned.

Without an ashtray, Kay Lee's ash bounced underground.

"All aspects, the first is to recruit people, and started to recruit six people, three of whom were directly hired by boss, two were on watercress, and one was on the market.

Looking for that buddy in the market, the interview was a bit stumbling. We didn't want it at first, but he said he was particularly interested in what we were going to do and begged us to let him try. We agreed as soon as we relented.

As a result, I came to work for one day and couldn't contact the next day. I really have everything.

The two painters recruited on Douban also have problems. They painted slowly and badly, which made us doubt the teaching quality of Yangmei and Beiying at that time.

Later, it turned out that they were all fake resumes. No wonder I came to a startup like ours. He also said that he likes not to punch in, and his work is flexible.

Resume fraud has become a normal state.

The boss directly hired to recruit new media operations. You can have a brush. The mantra is: get a good title and brush your circle of friends. But it turns out that it's really just a brush, with nothing but a title.

This reminds me of the network management of Internet cafes. No matter what happens to the computer, it is always a word: try to restart. "

"Other aspects have also stagnated, and soon began to achieve 10,000 powders.

And the reading volume of each article can reach more than 6000. At that time, some people said that we brushed traffic and said that the normal WeChat opening rate was 10%.

But no matter how high the opening rate is, it's useless. The user base does not increase much, so it is impossible to conduct Zhihu diversion.

Listen to the big v's you know. They say that once an article is published, it can raise tens of thousands of powder, but now it can't.

The financing of Angel Wheel is not smooth either. At that time, many companies in private pioneer parks were liquidated. Although they are basically o2o companies, they look very cautious.

Later, there was a death list of o2o company, and we were afraid to read it. We are afraid that there will be another death list of content companies in two months, and we are among them.

O2o death list

Later, I learned that this is called capital winter.

We couldn't make any money or invest, so we fired all our employees, leaving only three partners. The three of us had a meeting and decided to save some money.

Like all start-up companies whose investment is almost gone, the three of us reduced our wages, sublet the big office of the private pioneer park, rented a two-bedroom house nearby, and even lived in it.

They draw pictures, I write plays, and the rest of the time is to go out and talk about financing.

Forget it, just the three of us, this money can be spent until the end of 20 16.

In particular, I got angry, and at most, my mouth festered in more than a dozen places. I dare not open my mouth to laugh. When I laugh, I feel my little mouth laughing with me, holding back the pain, pain and nausea. "

I asked him why he insisted on starting a business to this extent.

Kay Lee is very firm: "Content entrepreneurship must have a way out. Look at the papi sauce thrown by Luo Jisi some time ago. Isn't it also for the cold winter of capital?

Kelly firmly believes that content entrepreneurship is king.

I said how to solve the problem of money, and he said there was no good way:

"Everyone is the same, just continue to see investors!"

After asking a few questions, I finally led Kay Lee to the investors.

"During that time, I kept seeing investors and investment institutions like a mad dog, with an average of four a day.

If we sell 40% or even 50% of the shares, no one wants to invest in us.

Once, I followed the investors who invested in our seed money into an investor's dinner. He said that the gathering was attended by people in the industry, investors in the content industry, founders of cross-border incubators, and investors in the transformation of real estate local tyrants. Let me seize the opportunity and strive for an angel investment.

I know what he means, but I just don't want to invest hundreds of thousands of seed money myself.

If someone told me that, I would subconsciously think that he was bragging.

Then he started his own business. After his project failed, he started to make a fund and raised $50 million. Now he is a partner of a certain capital. I won't say his name. He has the same name as a Hong Kong star. "

Kay lee said that the investor has the same name as the Hong Kong star, and the investor who has just been pushed off the subway by him also has the same name as the Hong Kong star.

But I didn't interrupt Kay Lee. I listened to him go on.

"I wanted to seize the opportunity at that time and quickly told him about our carelessness. He was very interested after listening. He dragged me out to chat every day, saying that he was interested in being an angel for me, asking for 25% equity and giving me 450w W W.

He also introduced me to some other angel investors, saying that several companies could join the investment, each with a little investment to spread the risk.

In the gathering of entrepreneurs and investors, you can't tell who is a liar.

But as long as he comes to me, he just goes to the bar to eat and sing K, and I spend most of my time-I can't let investors spend money, in case he doesn't want to vote for me.

Even if he found the lady twice, it was all my money.

My savings in Beijing over the past few years have basically been spent during that time. At that time, my girlfriend called me and said that the shampoo at home was gone and there was no money to buy a bottle, so I had to ask her to transfer money from Alipay to buy it for me.

Later, I really couldn't stand it. I asked him to give me an approval letter. When did I vote? My PPT has been changed to five editions. He spoke quickly, and then he couldn't get in touch. I looked for him for a week and then gave up.

Later, I heard that there was a beast in the investor circle, who played entrepreneurs around every day, eating, drinking, and beating people. I asked carefully, and it was him.

Picking up stickers of swindlers and investors on the Internet.

He is a liar. Not only entrepreneurs but also investors were cheated by him. He managed to borrow money from many people without paying it back. "

The employee's resume was faked, missed the bonus period of the content platform, caught up with the cold winter of capital, and met animal investors. I asked Kay Lee if this entrepreneurial experience was legendary.

Kay Lee shook her head: "This is a normal experience. There are many such things in the entrepreneurial circle. It is said that the longest knowledge is entrepreneurship. Anyone can see that everything can be satisfied. "

I asked Kay Lee if it was common for this entrepreneur to kill people intentionally. He looked up and asked me what I meant.

I said I met the man you pushed off the subway yesterday. He is an investor. His age and appearance are roughly the same as what you described to me, and he has the same name as a Hong Kong star.

Can I guess that the investor who cheated you is the one you pushed off the subway? You track and question each other, and the other person becomes angry and spits at your feet-you push each other off the subway in a moment of excitement.

Metro Line 2 without guardrails

Li Jie listened to the strange expression:

"Is that man an investor? Your imagination is too rich. He is not the man I said. You will know who I am talking about when you go to the investment circle to inquire. "

Since Kay Lee said that, he is certainly not afraid of my investigation, but I still don't believe that just because the other person spits everywhere, he can push an unknown person onto the track.

Kai Lee handed me a cigarette:

"I was walking home that day, and someone cut in line in front of me when I was waiting for the bus. I don't like it. I asked him why he cut in line, and the man came and hit me.

In the face of fighting, we often look on and turn a blind eye.

I had a fire in my heart for a long time, so I fought with him. The two of us got into a fight at the bus stop. Both of us were covered in blood, but no one nearby dissuaded me. It was not until the bus started two classes that we were tired and annoyed and stopped.

I can't tell you how I felt at that time. It was hard anyway. When I came home black and blue, I remembered how tired I was when two people lived together, and my father didn't even want to talk to me. To make matters worse. I cried when I washed my face that day.

Then I remembered that I was going to meet an investment institution in Tianheng Building on Dongzhimenwai Street. They are interested in investing in me, so I quickly put on my clothes and rushed there.

I take Line 5 and Line 2 at the Lama Temple to Dongzhimen. While waiting for the subway, the person standing next to me threw up on the ground, right in front of me. I was so angry that I reached out and pushed him down. "

Line 2 Yonghegong Station

I smoked with him silently for a while and asked her girlfriend what happened before I went back to my hometown.

Kai Lee frowned, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out, but she still spoke: "A bitch took a bunch of people to the 4s shop where she worked, beat her, and stripped her clothes, calling her a mistress.

But this is actually a mistake. It's one of her colleagues who is a mistress. After mediation by the police, the family lost some money and wrote an apology letter, but she felt that she couldn't get along in Beijing and went back. "

Apologize letter issued by the woman who hit someone.

I said, how did you react at that time, believing that she was not a mistress?

He lowered his head and lit another cigarette: "I am too busy at work to judge what happened."

I began to question my guess. This series of blows and hardships can completely make a normal person do irrational things-such as pushing people off the subway, and there is no other clue. I intend to close the case.

After coming out, I called Zhou Yong and told him why Kai Lee's girlfriend left Beijing after being beaten. Zhou Yong satisfied his curiosity: "Fuck, I was suspected by my boyfriend after this incident. No wonder I'm gone. " But it's not all that guy's fault. You should think twice! "

At this point, I began to go home and sort out Kai Lee's story, ready to sell it for a good price. While I was tidying up, Miss Bao called me and asked me how Kelly and I were doing. I told him about it.

Lawyer Bao was very emotional after listening to it: "It seems that this young man is still good, just on impulse. It is estimated that in the end, the crime of intentional injury will be given a lighter punishment, and it is likely to be suspended. A young man who started the company with him called me today and asked me how he was and what his figure was. "

Probation basically means no punishment.

With the mentality of giving it a try, I asked for the phone number of Kelly's partner, and then called him to verify what Kelly said one by one. However, everything Kay Lee said was right.

When you hang up, I wish them early financing success. He asked me strangely, "We succeeded in financing. He didn't tell you about the agreement signed on the morning of Kay Lee's promotion? "

I asked him who to talk to, and he said that he and Kelly would talk, and the company address was Tianheng Building in Dongzhimen.

Tianheng building

In other words, I lied to Kay Lee, and everything else was true. Only this sentence lied, so I don't think there is any loophole at all.

He doesn't need to meet investors at night. He deliberately ran to the Lama Temple Station on Line 2 and pushed the man off the subway.

Then I called: "Brother Xu, I seem to have found the 4s shop where Kelly's girlfriend works. In lishuiqiao South, the monthly salary and commission of several of their employees are around 7,000 yuan. "

I hurried to the Honda 4s store in the south of lishuiqiao and asked the staff if anyone had been to this 4s store to play mistress.

Kay lee's girlfriend works in the 4s shop.

He said yes, I asked if anyone recorded the video, and he said that everyone went up to help on the day of the beating, and no one recorded it, but when the family came to apologize, they recorded the video, which was in his mobile phone. "

The video in the mobile phone

Then he opened the video to show me that a couple was apologizing to a girl wearing a 4s shop uniform, saying that she had wronged the wrong person. I looked at her husband's face-he was the man I met that day who was pushed off the subway by Kai Lee. "

The world has never been so mysterious.
