Chapter 8: Assassination
On the steel frame of the largest gantry crane in the port of Liverpool, the three people who suddenly appeared next to Old Gusta and Allen just now were standing on it, and the white magic cannon was hunting in the sea breeze.
I don't know where the useless umbrella went, but there was still not a drop of rain on them, and it was obvious that the umbrella just now was just a cover to facilitate their actions in front of ordinary people.
The three of them stood in a triangle, and the man embroidered with silver thread stood at the forefront, carefully surveying the entire harbor.
A person in the rear said respectfully: "Referee Lamb, it's good for us to keep an eye here, you can go back and rest, just capture an ordinary fugitive, it's enough to have us." ”
The referee, known as Lamb, smiled, "Deacon Keith, thank you for your kindness, it's just that tonight's mission is much more important than you think." ”
Keith didn't understand why the Church was intervening in a criminal case, and even Liverpool's only referee was on the move.
"In addition to me, who is in charge of the port, there are at least ten referees in the whole of Liverpool looking for the missing Chinese right now. ”
Keith was shocked: "Are our referees from all over Britain here? Isn't that damn Chinese robbing antiques from the British Museum?"
Lamb turned his head to look at the night sky and said, "Not even the referee, the deputy referee in charge of our English diocese has probably arrived from London, as for what the Chinese has, you don't need to know." ”
"God, Vice-Referee Charles is coming in person. ”
Keith and his companions were so shocked by the news that they almost fell off the gantry, and then, without saying a word, they scanned the harbor with a good spirit, and they must make a good impression if the noble lord passed by.
Seeing the sudden high spirits of the two subordinates behind him, Lamb complained in his heart, two sycophants, even if the deputy referee Charles arrived in Liverpool, he would definitely be waiting for the report at Liverpool Cathedral, how could he personally come out to find someone. Moreover, in fact, I don't know what the Chinese robbed is, I only heard that it is a book, but what book is worthy of the deputy referee to come...
The Lost Old Testament? No, that kind of thing carried by an ordinary person cannot stop the call of the church and the resonance of divine power.
The vanished Dead Sea Papers? No, the "Black Goat Mother Goddess" on the parchment scroll could not have kept the ordinary people who held her alive as normal human beings.
What the hell is it, Lamb looked at the sea ahead of him, lost in thought.

"Smith, now that we have a big business of at least 200,000 euros, why do we have to go to the port to pick up the goods?"
A shipment of marijuana happened to be quietly transported from the ship today, as the low-level gangsters of Liverpool, the task of the two tonight was to pick up the goods in the early hours of the morning, when people were sleeping heaviestly, and then hand them over to the connector in charge of the gang.
A port city like Liverpool has a natural environment where gangs grow, and there are many gangs that are mixed, such as the skin and meat business, the drug trade, arms smuggling, etc., and there is basically nothing that cannot be found.
Or every big city is like this, maybe you feel as if you haven't seen those people in a peaceful and warm life, because they are arrogant and have been living carefully, like rats in the sewers, from everyone's surface life, it seems far away, but in fact it has always been close to you.
Smith dragged Leon to choose the current gang together, because he did not touch the drug and skin trade, which was in line with Smith's personal insignificant attitude to life, although he was not less complained by Leon, his dream was to join Liverpool's largest leather organization, manage those girls from all over the world, and the terrible thing is that the management of that organization sent an invitation to Leon.
Smith was ready for Leon to change the court, but it was incredible that Leon's few consciences seemed to be suddenly exposed to the sun, and that day he came back with a handful of snot and tears, holding a pink invitation with a strong perfume smell on it, Leon told himself that he sadly refused the boss's kind invitation, and Leon cried very heartily that day.
The relationship between the port has long been settled, the delivery is also an old acquaintance, and the control of marijuana is relatively loose, if the old Gusta is allowed to smuggle "white flour", the old guy will be the first to send the two to the police station.
The trip could only be described as normal work for the two of them, and because there would be a hefty commission, Lyon was in high spirits every time, which meant that there was enough money and beautiful girls to indulge for a few days.
It's just that the huge bounty order brought by Sheriff Murray tonight made Leon's mind fall into the fantasy of getting rich, so on the way from the Bar of England to the port, Smith listened to the complaints all the way, which was even more dense and annoying than the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella.
In the end, Smith, who couldn't bear it anymore, had to stop, turned his head and said, "Leon, do you think this kind of mission involving murder and excessive bounty can be won by the two of us?"
Leon slapped his fist hard on his chest and said with a thumping sound: "Smith, you know what I do, if it weren't for the need to take care of those beautiful girls, we wouldn't have gone to the port to pick up the goods in this damn weather, which is the coolie that those newcomers need to do." ”
"Sheriff Murray said that the man was wounded, and since there were soldiers present, there was no reason not to shoot, so he might have been shot, and for a gangster with a gunshot wound, even if he was once very vicious, to me, he was just a girl who would resist fiercely, and he would eventually fall under Uncle Leon's crotch!"
Leon is very energetic, whether it is in the indescribable bed room or fighting in the street, he seems to have an inexhaustible vitality.
Smith had suspected that sooner or later, he would have some incurable weakness in his lower body due to overindulgence, like the last emperor of China.
However, after all these years, Lyon is still alive and well in Liverpool's hotels.
It's really talented.
It stands to reason that this famous thug in the gang, because of his handsome appearance and good combat effectiveness, was happily selected by the boss as his personal bodyguard.
However, the sad thing is that Leon, as a bodyguard, was communicating cordially with the girls on the big bed at the critical moment when his boss was about to be killed by the enemy.
As for why the rescue could not be made in time, Leon's explanation was that the ringtone of the mobile phone that was about to burst was perfectly masked in the sound of the girl arriving at the peak.
Most egregiously, this has happened more than once.
In the end, in the hospital's intensive care unit, the boss, who was still plugged in oxygen, finally made the most correct decision since taking office, asking Leon to accompany Smith to the port to pick up the new job.
Of course, if the Boss knew that Leon was out of the door of the ward, and turned around with his favorite little lover on the big bed in the vacant ward next door, the Boss would probably take off the oxygen mask first and kill the bastard with one shot.
Smith said in a serious voice: "Leon, this matter may be much more serious and dangerous than you think. ”
Smith turned his head to look at the street, although the bars were still lively, but because of the heavy rain, there were no people hanging out on the street, and the police obviously wanted to try to get their own money because the price of this bounty was too high, except for Old John's bar, this is the sheriff's feedback to Old John's fine wines, as for the official posting of the bounty order, the police unanimously decided to delay and then release.
Otherwise, Smith believed that the street would be lively in an instant.
Even though there was no one around, Smith lowered his voice and said, "Leon, do you remember why we are here?"
As the words fell, in the dark and rainy night, a small piece of raindrops suddenly appeared around the two of them.
Leon didn't seem to notice the abnormality around him, and was stunned for a moment: "Because of the fact that you were targeted by the killer when you were a child, what's wrong Smith, is this matter related to the assassination when you were a child?"
