Chapter 29: The Truth I
Lawrence, William, and the four younger brothers who were stunned earlier and were guarding the periphery were all dragged to the warehouse by Li Yan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Well, who should I start with?" Looking at the six people lying on the ground, Li Yan was in trouble at this time.
"Boss, let's start with the four younger brothers! Although they don't know much, they have relatively few scruples. Pry open their mouths first, so we can have a general understanding of things! ”
"Hmmm! It's up to you! Nodding in agreement with Dollivermore's proposal, Li Yan squatted down and reached out to pat one of the younger brothers awake. Feed! Wake up! ”
"Huh? Who are you? After waking up from the coma, the other party looked around in confusion, stared at Li Yan and said in horror.
"Don't care who I am! All you need to know is that your life is in my hands now! A shot was put on the other party's head, and Li Yan said coldly: "Say! Who sent you? What is the purpose? ”
Under the cold muzzle threat, the other party hesitated for a moment, and quickly explained. "We are the Lucis family of New York, and we are here for the gold on this ship."
"How did you get this news?"
"I don't know about this, only the eldest brother knows the specific details of this operation."
"Really? If you let me know you're lying to me, hum ......"
"I really don't know! I was a low-level member of the family, and I was only ordered to do things, and I didn't dare to inquire about anything else! ”
Looking at the other party's nervous expression, Li Yan didn't scare him anymore. Put away the pistol and lean over to shake the other little brother awake.
After the same scare, the other party also confessed very spinelessly. It's just that the things he explained are no different from the previous person, and the inside information he knows is very limited.
Li Yan, who had lost patience and was a little impatient, simply woke up the remaining two. It was the pair of people who were taken down by Li Yan because of telling ghost stories, Barlow and Karp.
After the two of them gradually sobered up, Li Yan shook the gun in his hand and threatened: "I want to ask you a few questions, you have to tell the truth, don't deceive me, otherwise I don't mind opening a few holes in you!" ”
The two of them nodded hurriedly, not daring to have the slightest sense of resistance.
"How much do you know about this operation?"
"W-Where will we know this......"
"Smack"
Karp, who was just about to shirk, was slapped to the ground by Li Yan, grabbed his hair, and brought him to himself, Li Yan's eyes were cold, staring at him and said: "My patience has a limit, this is the first time and the last time!" If you want to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, be honest with me! ”
The bright red slap marks on his face slapped the courage that Karp had so hard gathered in his heart all at once. After struggling with his eyes, he said, "Okay, I'll say!" ”
"Humph! Count you as acquaintances! Loosening the other party's hair, Li Yan said coldly: "Who told you the news that I use gold here?" ”
"It's the old man over there!" Pointing to Lawrence, who was lying nearby, Karp was convinced.
"Oh? Are you so confident? Have you seen him before? ”
Nodding, Karp said, "Two or three days before departure, I met my eldest brother at his residence!" ”
"Two or three days ago?" Li Yan frowned, and said in his heart: "Hmph! Sure enough, they've been eyeing me for a long time, and they met two or three days ago, and the plan is detailed enough! ”
"Do you know his identity?"
"I don't know!" Karp shook his head and said, "Big brother seems to be very concerned about this matter, so I don't dare to inquire too blatantly." I only heard a few words from the other brothers, saying that he seemed to be an old acquaintance of the eldest brother and had a lot of business dealings. ”
"Business?" The more Li Yan listened, the more puzzled he became, how could a professional salvage captain have business dealings with a mafia leader?
"Be specific! What kind of business is it? Li Yan, who was anxious to find out the truth, hurriedly asked.
"I really don't know! The eldest brother is a senior member of the family, and many things he is involved in will not be revealed to us at all. I'm just hearsay, and the specific details are not something I can understand! With a bitter face, Karp explained begging for mercy.
"Is that so?" The muzzle of the gun was turned, and Li Yan pointed to Barlow on the side and asked.
"Ahh Yes, that's right! Barlow, who was trembling with fright, trembled: "The matter of the eldest brother will never be discussed with us. We only need to do what we are told, and we don't need to ask about anything else! ”
"This is the typical way of organizing the members of the Luches family, usually with a senior family member leading over about ten junior members. Under normal circumstances, the matter is only communicated to the senior members, and the truth is not told to the lower members. So I think they really don't know the truth! Livermore explained to Li Yan.
"In other words, are they just dispensable pawns? Take it when you use it, and give it up when you don't use it? ”
"Yes, this is also the way for the Luches family to survive in the decades of struggle. As long as the high-level family members are fine, these low-level gangsters, they won't feel distressed no matter how much they lose! ”
"Humph! Savvy! It's cruel enough! Pouting, Li Yan stood up and said to the four of them, "Thank you for your information, you can continue to sleep!" ”
"What do you mean......"
"Bang"
Before Karp could finish speaking, the butt of the gun slammed into the back of his neck, tilted his head, and then fainted.
As concocted, Li Yan put down the remaining three people and walked to William's side with his feet.
After frowning and looking at the two of them, Li Yan jumped over William and reached out to wake Lawrence awake.
"Hmm~"
Lawrence frowned and woke up, and there was not much fear or panic on his dark face full of ravines. After calmly looking around, he looked at Li Yan in front of him calmly.
"Let's talk about it! I guess you have a lot to say to me! As if nothing had happened, Li Yan stared at Lawrence's eyes and asked indifferently.
"Hey! There are a lot of things to say, but when the words come to the mouth, I don't know where to start. Sighing, Lawrence leaned down and leaned his back against the corner.
Li Yan's expression was suddenly stunned, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he took a few steps back quietly, and said, "Let's talk about it first, when did you start eyeing me!" ”
"From the very beginning, I counted you!" Lawrence's body moved to the corner of the wall, and then said, "From the time Ruan Yumei found me and said that he wanted me to help you find the 'Zhongmei' gold rush ship, you had already entered my target!" ”
"Eyeing me from the beginning?" Li Yan frowned, and said coldly: "So, you have done this kind of murder and treasure hunting thing before?" ”
"Hehe, I've done it a few times!" A maniacal smile appeared on the corner of Lawrence's mouth, and he wrote lightly: "Those so-called treasure hunters are nothing more than idiots!" Fantasizing about getting rich overnight for nothing! Hum! It's annoying to watch! ”
"Then you still help people hunt for treasures? Isn't that a paradox? ”
"Don't compare me to those idiots!" Lawrence stiffened his neck and retorted, "What they are pursuing is nothing more than some illusory fantasy!" I'm different, unless it's true, otherwise, I won't do it! ”
"Really?" Listening to Lawrence's inhuman defense, Li Yan was angry, flew up and put a foot on his chest, and said sharply: "What you call true is to wait for the other party to salvage the treasure before killing and robbing it?" Yes! ”
"Ahem, ahem!" Spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, Lawrence raised his head with cold air, and still withdrew the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Is there anything wrong with me doing this?" ”
Looking at Lawrence, who was already hopeless, Li Yan didn't bother to explain anything to him, and said coldly: "I don't conspire with each other, I'm not a judge, and I don't care if you're guilty or not!" I just want to know, how did you get these people on the ship without even noticing? ”
"I took advantage of your celebration by putting sleeping pills in my meal. Then the crew members on duty were all transferred out of their posts in the name of changing shifts. ”
"Humph! The process is skillful enough! I guess that's what you did before, right? ”
"What's the use of being proficient, haven't you been recognized by Boss Li?" Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, Lawrence sighed.
Looking at Lawrence's unpretentious sigh, the corners of Li Yan's mouth lifted lightly, and his right foot stood on tiptoe slightly. "We have an old saying in China, which is called Skynet to be restored and sparse but not leaked! A sinister villain like you is intolerable! One day it will be wiped out from the world! ”
"Yes, I know that I am guilty of a great sin, and sooner or later things will be revealed!" Lawrence's eyes were cold, and he sneered: "It's a pity, not today!" ”
"Smack"
The rope that bound Lawrence's hands was somehow broken free from him, and he pulled out a hidden fishbone knife from his ankle and stabbed it directly at Li Yan......
