Chapter 50: The Bet
When he came to the room, Johnson squinted his eyes and stared at Colonel Will who was lying on the sofa on his back, he pointed to the sleeping Will and said in surprise: "Mr. Long, is he a police officer in our United States?" How did it end up with you? ”
I gave him a blank look and said, "His name is Will, and he is a colonel of your FBI, and he came to me to help him solve the murder and dismemberment case." 《”
Johnson's body trembled violently when he heard that Will was a colonel in the FBI, and at that moment I was keenly aware that he was afraid.
Johnson was short of breath, pointed at me in a rage, and scolded, "Didn't you accuse him of my guilt a long time ago?" Why can't you just let me go once, when you don't know what to do? ”
When I heard him say this, I was so angry and anxious that I couldn't hold it anymore, and slapped him in the face and cursed sharply: "If I kill you and then burn your body to death, will you let me go?" ”
Johnson covered his hot cheek with his right hand, sat down on the ground, hugged his head with his hands and cried: "It's over, this time I'm really finished." ”
I snorted: "Didn't you just say that after you eliminate the ghosts, you will turn yourself in and confess the crimes you committed back then?" Why is it that I am suddenly scared again? ”
Johnson looked down in shame and didn't dare look at me, just a small cry. Obviously, although he said that he would turn himself in, he still had a trace of luck in his heart.
Looking at his dead face, I couldn't help but laugh: "I knew today, why bother in the first place." ”
Johnson wiped his tears with his hands and choked up: "That's it, that's it, just die!" All I want is to keep me from dying at the hands of that terrible ghost. She's horrible...... I must not die at her hands. ”
I ignored him and snorted coldly.
Just then, Will, who was sleeping on the couch, woke up, stood up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched, and yawned. He patted Johnson on the shoulder and grinned at me, "Hey, Mr. Long, who is this brother?" Is it a helper you hired? ”
Johnson seemed to notice this, and he walked up to me and whispered in my ear, "You didn't tell him about my criminal behavior?" ”
I glared at him, then whispered no. After listening to my words, a sly smile appeared on Johnson's face, and he whispered in my ear again: "Thank you, Mr. Long, as long as you don't tell me about it, I can give you a lot of valuable treasure." ”
I gave him a blank look, noncommittal.
Seeing that Johnson was whispering to me, Colonel Will protested dissatisfiedly: "It's not fair, I have a right to know what you're talking about." ”
Johnson smiled "hehe": "Colonel Will, what we just whispered has nothing to do with solving the murder and dismemberment case, so you don't have to mind." Our common goal is to deal with the female ghost who will suck people's blood and cause trouble, and that is the key. ”
Will frowned and yelled at Johnson: "What nonsense are you talking about, there are no ghosts in the world at all, this is common sense that three-year-old children know, you ignorant bastard, illiterate and uneducated." ”
Johnson was severely reprimanded for no apparent reason, turned to me, and motioned for me to help him say a few words of justice.
I walked up to Will, pointed to Johnson's body, and said with a smile: "Colonel Will, this Mr. Johnson is not an ignorant and illiterate, he used to be a police officer like you. ”
Will heard me introduce Johnson like this, and his eyes were about to fall out in surprise, he opened his mouth wide, pointed at Johnson, and lost his voice: "He ...... He was also a police officer before? ”
I laughed and said, "Yes, Mr. Johnson used to be a traffic police officer in Manhattan, New York, but he was fired by the chief of the police department. ”
Will took a deep breath and said disdainfully: "It turned out to be a traffic policeman, I really can't imagine that an intellectual like him would say that there are ghosts in the world, it seems that there is a big reason for being fired from the police station." ”
Rao is Johnson has a good temper, and he can't help but shout at this time: "What kind of bullshit are you putting out, I saw with my own eyes that the ghost will be fake?" If you don't believe you, I'll go to the barren mountain with Mr. Long tonight to have a good look. ”
Will snorted, "I don't need you to say that I'll go with him too." ”
Johnson smiled dumbly: "When the time comes, you really see that ghost, don't be scared and incontinent." ”
I could hear the two of them arguing, laughing and saying, "That's really true, haha......"
Will saw me and Johnson laughing at him together, and cursed indignantly: "You two scumbags, you are sure that there are ghosts in the world, well, if I don't see the ghosts you are talking about tonight, I will definitely beat you up." ”
I shrugged my shoulders, spread my hands, and smiled, "Colonel Will, why don't we make a bet?" ”
Will squinted at me and snorted angrily: "Okay, you say, what are you betting on?" ”
I smiled and snapped my fingers: "If you don't see the ghost tonight, then whatever you want to punish me, but if you lose, hehe......"
Before I could finish speaking, Will immediately replied: "If I lose, I will immediately apologize to you and resign to Mr. President." ”
I waved my hand and said with a smile: "It's not necessary to resign, if you lose, just apologize to me sincerely, don't joke about your future." ”
Will had a serious expression and snorted: "No, what I said must be counted, and I must not play around, besides, I am confident that I can win you, hum......"
I wanted to leave him a way out, but I never thought that he would be so resolute, and if he had to bet with me, why wouldn't I?
I applauded and laughed, "Okay, the colonel really has the courage, then let's take a gamble." ”
Will turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and said, "Bet on it, hum...... It ain't over till it's over. ”
I looked at him with a smile and no words.
Maybe it was because the quarrel between me and Will was too loud, and Zhou Zhou Xian also woke up, he yawned three times in a row, glanced at Johnson, and said tiredly, "What are you two arguing about?" Hey, who's this guy? ”
I took a deep breath, gave Johnson a good introduction to his past career, and told Zhou Xian Johnson to find the heirs of the Maoshan Sect as well.
After listening to my words, Zhou Zhou Xian patted Johnson on the shoulder and said happily: "Okay, we have another helper." ”
I shrugged my shoulders and was noncommittal.
At this moment, Will, who was standing on the side, began to look impatient, and he shouted: "Mr. Long, why are we going to the barren mountains to see the terrible ghosts you are talking about?" ”
I laughed, "Since you're so anxious, why don't you leave now!" ”
When Will heard what I said, he waved his fists as if he had gone into battle to kill the enemy, which made me feel very funny. Although he said on the surface that he didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, his current posture seemed to have begun to waver in his opinion.
I opened the door and made a gesture of please to Will with my right hand, motioning for him to come out first. Will was not unceremonious, and did not look at me, but walked towards the downstairs of the hotel with his head held high and in vigour.
I didn't care, grabbed the flashlight, and followed him.
None of us spoke along the way, just walked side by side. The mountain road was rough and difficult to walk, especially after heavy rain, the road was covered with mud everywhere, and Will and I walked with difficulty, and our shoes were all covered with yellow mud.
Two hours later, the night began to darken, and Will and I finally reached the top of the barren mountain. The night of the barren mountain is dark early and deep, like a bottomless abyss, which makes people feel helpless, frightened and unfathomable. I pointed to a hut on a barren hill and whispered to Will, "Colonel Will, let's go and sit in the hut for a while, and then go out when the sky is completely dark." ”
Will nodded, and immediately followed me closely, and walked towards the thatched hut, looking nervous as he went
