Chapter 25: The Gangs of New York
It's a rainy night again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's a long street again.
The rain is misty and neon.
Shen Jing carried a guitar case and walked along the street, the rain was wet and messy, and the horsehair was like a horsehair behind his head. Stop and retreat outside the bakery. The fragrance is fragrant, and the warm light reflects Shen Jing's figure through the window.
He looked up, his gaze drifting to the third floor opposite.
Someone was sitting in front of the window. The man seemed to be smoking, and a little fire flickered on and off.
The corners of Shen Jing's mouth twitched, and a smile was put on it. Take out the deformed cigarette case, bring it to your mouth and bite out a Marlboro. The filter is spit out with a "phew" sound, ignited, and the nicotine is transferred to the lobes of the lungs.
The rain is getting lighter, and the sound of rain is thinning. His vision slowly became clear, and Shen Jing concentrated, with indescribable pain in his eyes.
The point of light vanished, and the room was plunged into darkness.
Shen Jing sighed lightly, threw away the cigarette butt, and walked out from under the rain eaves. Step by step, disappear at the end of the long street.
……
He saw a man, a professor playing the piano, lying in the bench, drunk and unconscious. Shen Jing called softly: "Hey...... Jason...... Jason, wake up, you're going to get sick if you sleep in the rain. ”
"I don't have any money, don't hurt me......" Jason had a white beard on his face, the smell of alcohol spewed from his beard, and his drunken eyes were hazy: "Oh...... Oh my God, it's you. Kidney, you're back. ”
The tone was wrong, Shen Jing frowned and asked, "Jason, is there something wrong?" ”
Jason struggled to his feet, wiped his face indiscriminately, and said, "After you left, someone on the street inquired about you." But, hell, kidney, who the hell are you? I suddenly realized that I didn't know you at all, and I came and went as you said, like Jack the Ripper. ”
"Jason......" Shen Jing snorted: "Concentrate, hey...... I need you to concentrate and explain what's going on? ”
"Oh......" Jason took out the flat-spout flask from his arms, took a sip, and continued, "There are people on the street who ask about you, but no one has heard from you." Brother Bao, do you remember Brother Bao? ”
"Yes." Shen Jing nodded, a drug dealer peddling pills.
Jason said in a deep voice: "He brought people and said that he had seen you at Angela's aid station, and they beat them when they saw people, and they smashed Angela's pickup truck." Alas...... What a bastard......"
Jason was about to drink again, but Shen Jing snatched it and said hurriedly: "Jason, I need your help, make it clear quickly." ”
Jason looked away from the flask, shrugged his shoulders from the flask to Shen Jing's face, and said, "They asked, does anyone know your whereabouts?" Of course, no one knew, everyone suffered from the flesh and skin, and Brother Bao took the opportunity to retaliate and slapped Angela a few times. Angela is like Wonder Woman, she just says 'I'm not going to tell you anything'. But she doesn't have Wonder Woman's abilities. So...... was taken away. ”
"Taken away? Taken away by them? Shen Jing frowned, he never expected things to turn out like this.
"Yes, they took it." Jason snatched the flask and hurriedly took a sip before he said slowly, "Two days ago!! ”
"!! two days ago" Shen Jing was shocked, this time is enough for a lot of things to happen.
"I told you, don't go against Brother Bao, he is a gang member and will not let you go." Jason spoke earnestly, his eyes lost focus again, and he fell asleep.
……
Young black people leaned against the corner of the street, and the wall was painted with the words "World Peace, Stay Away from Drugs". He wears headphones, the music spills, and a violent rhythm can be heard in the drizzle.
Someone came over and shook hands. When parting the money is left and take away the plastic package.
Another hand, with slender fingers and clean nails, unlike the addicts he had come into contact with. He couldn't help but look up and screamed, "Ah......"
The cry began and stopped abruptly.
He felt that the bottom rib was clamped by iron tongs, and it hurt to the heart, and his mouth only inhaled, but not breathed.
"Brother Bao?" The voice was cold, cold through the cold rain of the night.
"Hmmm......"
"If I let you go, will you cooperate?"
"Hmmm......"
"Good."
As soon as his hand was released, Brother Bao inhaled heavily, and his throat sounded like a bellows.
Brother Bao frowned, suddenly turned his head and ran wildly.
He had severe pain in his ankle, fell heavily into the rain, and hit his forehead on the road, and immediately bled profusely. Shen Jing grabbed his arm and helped him up, and said in a deep voice: "If I let you go, will you cooperate?" ”
"Yes...... Will ......"
"Good."
The strength of his hand was loosened again, and Brother Bao sat down, leaning against the wall and softening. Covering his forehead with one hand, blood leaking from his fingers, his facial features distorted, and asked, "What are you doing?" Are you sick? Do you know how to work hard and trouble me everywhere? ”
Shen Jing's eyes were like cold stars, and he said lightly: "I don't have time to go around in circles with you, where is Angela?" ”
Brother Bao swallowed his saliva, and said, "I don't know...... Yes!!! ”
The little finger of the left hand is broken into three sections, and the shape of a "Z" is Cheng.
Brother Bao yelled: "Madman, hell madman, do you know what you are doing? I'll call the police, damn it, the police will put you in a box and mail you back to China, you wait...... Ah......h
The ring finger is broken in two!
"I said I said ......"
"Say!"
Brother Bao's face was bloodless, his lips trembled, and he stammered: "It's Nick, Nick in the back street, he is looking for someone, a homeless man, with a Chinese girl." As soon as I heard it, I knew it was you, so I took them with me. Angela didn't know about it, but she was too tough, and Nick thought she was hiding something and took her away, and that's it. ”
Brother Bao intermittently said something about Nick, he had a relationship with the "Italians", and he was in charge of the underground business in the five blocks before and after. Most of the time in a strip bar, sort of his office.
Shen Jing left, and Brother Bao shouted behind him: "Crazy, you will be sent to death, go quickly, go quickly!! ”
……
Shen Jing stood for five minutes, observing the buildings on the left and right.
It's simple, it's not complicated, the two laundries are still open, there is surveillance, can't go.
He cleared his throat and walked straight to the tin house. Hang a pink sign on it, naked. Female graphics.
There was a strong man sitting at the door, and when he saw him coming, he slowly got up, a head taller than Shen Jingzu. Shen Jing handed over $20, which was the ticket, and the strong man sat back in the chair and let Shen Jing in.
Pushing the door in, the smell of tobacco and alcohol hit instantly. The surprise was that the music was good, the sound was very thorough, and the equipment was very good.
On the circular stage in the middle, a coolly dressed white girl dances ambiguously. Beckons to you as he walks by and asks if you want "happy time". In order to avoid entanglement, Shen Jing casually stuffed $5 into her bra. The dancer smiled at him, squirming with his thighs apart.
Shen Jing sat down for a while, then got up and left, the girl was reluctant, and kept saying that there was something more pleasant.
He made his way through the crowd, and the staircase was guarded by a strong man in black. Shen Jing hugged the guitar case, lifted his breath, tapped his foot on the wall three times, and rushed to the second floor. There was a lot of noise, and no one noticed him.
The second floor is relatively quiet, separated by several private rooms, what kind of drama is played in the room? Shen Jing didn't want to disturb the spring, so he fixed his eyes and took a look, put his hand on the door lamp, and turned over to the third floor.
Customers are not allowed to come up on the third floor, and it is a private space.
Carpet underfoot, thick and soft.
Step on it silently. Shen Jing couldn't help but wonder: "It's really a good place!! ”
