Volume I, Chapter 20
Ma Liangchen's life was saved, and he went home from the hospital to recuperate after more than half a month, he was afraid that ** would kill him, and he didn't dare to go back to his original home, so he rented a room not far from the secret service. On this day, Ma Liangchen was going to a meeting with the secret service, so he pulled the pistol and put it in his arms and walked out of the house alone. Walking out of the residence not far from a corner is a crossroads, a black car parked on the side of the road, when Ma Liangchen walked past the car, the car door suddenly opened, from the inside jumped out of a man in black reached out to grab Ma Liangchen's neck and dragged him into the car, outside the car on the side of the road stood two people rushed forward and pushed him into the car. That is, in an instant, before passers-by could react, the car had already started.
Ma Liangchen's injuries were not good, and he didn't dare to struggle hard in the car, he opened his eyes wide and frightened, and just asked, "Which part of you are?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he was stuffed with a car cloth filled with the smell of engine oil, then his hands were handcuffed, and his head was covered with a thick black cloth bag. Ma Liangchen couldn't shout, he couldn't see and couldn't move, he suddenly felt bad, his heart tightened for a while, and his body couldn't help but tremble. After about 20 minutes of turning left and right, the car drove into a compound and stopped, and several people dragged him out of the car and threw him in a damp musty room.
Ma Liangchen lay on the ground for a long time and no one paid attention to him, and the old wound that Ma Liangchen didn't have a good look at the toss recurred, and he was sweating all over his head in pain. Are you going to settle accounts with me? Or is it kidnapping by the enemy? He couldn't stop muttering in his heart. Ma Liangchen fell asleep in a daze in a panic, until the sound of the door opening woke him up.
The man who came in took off Ma Liangchen's hood, and Ma Liangchen blinked to see that this place turned out to be a cell, and through the window welded with iron rods, he could see that it was already dark outside. In front of him stood two stout men dressed in black. Judging from the dress and behavior of these two people, they don't look like ** people, but his nervous mood calmed down at this time. Ma Liangchen thought in his heart: It must be that the brother unit caught the wrong person. He twisted his body vigorously, his mouth stuffed with a cloth and he couldn't speak, and his eyes were about to come out. A man uncuffed him and pulled out the rags that were stuck in his mouth. Ma Liangchen sat on the ground, took a deep breath and exhaled vigorously, he rubbed his tortured hands and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you arrest me? ”
The man who came in grabbed Ma Liangchen's shirt and picked him up like a chicken, looked at his face carefully, and then threw him on the straw mat on the ground. "That's right! You're the one who caught you!" After speaking, he kicked Ma Liangchen's ass.
Ma Liangchen screamed in pain and asked, "What part are you from?" ”
"Lao Tzu is a detective. What is this for, you ask? ”
It turned out that the person who arrested him was from the detective team, and Ma Liangchen was anxious when he heard it. The spy who usually shows off his might and power has put the small shrimp and fish of the detective team in his eyes, but now it is the detective team he despises the most who has arrested him, and he feels extremely insulted. He forgot that his weak body got up from the ground and scolded people angrily: "You are all fucking rice buckets! Don't catch ** but catch me, do you know who I am? You've caught the wrong person! ”
"Caught the wrong person? So who are you? The detective team asked slowly.
"Lao Tzu is Ma Liangchen, the major intelligence officer of the Beijing Station of the Secret Bureau!" Ma Liangchen crossed his hands on his hips and posed with a full spirit.
"! It's you who catches you! Lao Tzu has been squatting in the pit near your house for days in order to catch you! A black tower-like man slapped Ma Liangchen's face fiercely, Ma Liangchen covered his hot face and scolded angrily: "You, you, the master of the ** dare to fight the Secret Bureau?" You don't want to die? When Lao Tzu goes out, I have to clean you up! Let all of you detectives lie on the ground and kowtow to me, and call me grandpa! ”
The people of the detective team put two steamed buns and a bowl of pork stewed vermicelli in front of Ma Liangchen, and said without smiling: "You don't have a small tone, you haven't eaten for a day, have you?" It's the last meal of your life, and it's time to hit the road! ”
Ma Liangchen understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, he didn't expect it, and he couldn't believe that he was going to be killed by someone else in a while! It was as if he had been poured a bucket of cold water from head to toe, and the blood in his body was frozen like ice, and he suddenly lost the arrogance and arrogance he had just now.
"What? You're going to kill me? I, I'm a member of the party-state, why are you killing me, why are you killing me? Ma Liangchen stammered in fright.
"Why kill you, our chief will tell you in a moment, we are just acting on orders. Do you still want to drink a sip of road wine? The detective looked at him with a blank expression.
At this time, Ma Liangchen was in a hurry, and he shouted hysterically, "I am a member of the Secret Bureau, I want to go back to the Secret Bureau and call your chief!" I want to see your sir! ”
"If you don't eat this meal, forget it, it's time to go on the road!" The detectives also ignored Ma Liangchen's shouts, and the two of them pressed him to the ground and tied him up like a pig, and Ma Liangchen struggled and shouted hoarsely: "You can't kill me, I want to see your sir!" I want to see your sir! ”
One of the detectives gagged Malachen with a rag, then took out a sack of grain and put it on his head, while another grabbed his legs; The two of them skillfully stuffed Ma Liangchen into the sack and tied the mouth of the sack. At first, the sack was still rolling on the ground, and after the two kicked it a few times, the sack did not move, and the two carried the sack out of the cell.
In the dark night, a black car quietly drove out of the gate of the detective team with black headlights, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Not far from Zuo'anmen in Beiping is an empty overgrown mass grave, where black cars have stopped. The back door of the car opened, and the detective team kicked the sack bag containing Ma Liangchen from the car, and the two jumped out of the car to open the front door of the car, and helped a man in a long shirt and top hat out of the car. The man was in his fifties, of medium height, with a thin and straight body, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his long wrinkled face, like a weak scholar who had been blown down by the wind. However, people can't look good, this person is a famous detective in Beiping City, who can be literate and martial, black and white and eat, and Hou Kun, the captain of the detective team nicknamed "Ghost Sees Sorrow". This Hou Kun is the most famous case solver in Beiping, he does not take small cases, but specializes in big cases, and there have been many difficult big cases in Beiping City to solve in his hands. When it comes to Hou Kun's prestige, the ruffians, thieves and bullies in Beiping City are very afraid.
Hou Kun was born to be a detective, his body is thin and his light skills are excellent, jumping from house to house and tiles are like walking on the ground, running like a smoke, as long as the perpetrator is targeted by him, it is difficult to escape. It is said that once Hou Kun stared at a habitual thief who specializes in stealing large households in the big fence, this habitual thief will be very good at running, he saw Hou Kun want to catch him and ran south from the front door, until he ran to Nanyuan and did not throw off Hou Kun who was chasing closer and closer behind, the thief was out of breath and was tired and almost collapsed, but Hou Kun was still walking like flying. In the end, the thief would rather be caught than run away, he was so tired that he lay on the ground and kowtowed to Hou Kun and called grandpa. There is also a story about him: Hou Kun was on an errand in the puppet police station and a Japanese soldier known as the Sharpshooter Tai Sui compared marksmanship, the rules of the game are that there is a copper coin hanging on a branch fifty meters away, and the one who hits the copper coin wins, and the loser must bow to the winner. The little devil held a three-eight big pole and a shot to break the copper coin in half, and the devil soldiers who helped screamed excitedly! After re-hanging the copper coin, Hou Kun walked to the shooting line with a faint disdain on his face, took out his pistol and aimed at it, he broke the thin rope tied to the copper coin with one shot, and when the copper coin was about to land, another shot broke the copper coin. The brothers in the police station clapped their hands in unison, and even the little devils who usually looked down on the Chinese expressed their admiration for Hou Kunshu's thumb! Cao, a Japanese soldier known as the Sharpshooter Tai Sui, bowed deeply to Hou Kun from the bottom of his heart. Hou Kun is a legendary figure in the police world.
Hou Kun came to the sack with a civilized stick and kicked it lightly with his foot, and then he pointed to the sack and slowly ordered his subordinates: "Release this person." ”
The subordinates opened the mouth of the sack and poured out Ma Liangchen, who was tied up with five flowers. Hou Kun asked his subordinates to untie the rope that bound Ma Liangchen and took out the cloth that was stuffed in his mouth. Ma Liangchen had been tossed for a day, and he was exhausted, and he was spread on the ground like a puddle of mud. On the night of early autumn, the cool breeze blew and gave Ma Liangchen goosebumps all over his body, and he looked around trying to identify where he was.
It was a dark night, and the moon occasionally showed half a mysterious face in the dense clouds, and from time to time there was an ominous call or two of night birds in the ghostly trees in the distance. Ma Liangchen set his mind to carefully observe the surrounding environment, surrounded by large and small graves, on the gloomy graves of decaying grass by the autumn wind whistling, listening carefully like the cries and wails of the dead. Suddenly he gasped, and his hair stood on end. He recognized that this was a mass grave outside Zuo'anmen, a secret killing ground for the military commanders, and he and his accomplices had buried more than a dozen ** members and patriots alive here, and he had a bad premonition.
"Get to know this place, and keep your head up!" Someone shouted.
Ma Liangchen slowly sat up from the ground and looked up at the few people standing in front of him, two of whom he had seen in the cell, and the thin old man in the middle of the two had never seen it, and it seemed to be a leader. Even though it was a dark day, he could see a hint of coldness in the old man's eyes. He shuddered and hurriedly avoided the old man's gaze. He bowed his head and said, "The little brother and the bosses have no grievances, I don't know why they want to kill me?" ”
Hou Kun spoke: "Are you Ma Liangchen?" ”
Ma Liangchen hurriedly said: "It's me, I am, I'm Ma Liangchen, the major intelligence officer of the Beijing Station of the Secret Bureau." ”
After Ma Liangchen finished speaking, he looked up at Hou Ye and asked timidly: "May I ask which commander of the detective team are you?" ”
"I'm a ghost and a sorrowful Hou Kun."
"Oops! It's Hou Ye, who has been looking up for a long time. Ma Liangchen struggled to stand up from the ground and stepped forward to shake hands with Hou Kun.
Hou Kun scolded in a low voice: "Stop, don't get close to me!" You ghost, don't you worry about seeing me today? ”
Ma Liangchen saw that the other party was not good at stubble, and he also hardened: "What's the matter?" Even the people of the Secret Service dare to arrest it? Let me ask you, Hou Kun, who instructed you to do this? Ma Liangchen crossed his hands on his hips and asked menacingly, he wanted to suppress Hou Kun and the others from the momentum. When he came, one of Hou Kun's entourage got angry and kicked him to the ground. Ma Liangchen fell to the ground and stiffened: "You wait, it's strange that I won't take anyone to destroy your detective team when I go back!" ”
Hou Kun looked down at Ma Liangchen and said unhurriedly: "Our detective team has more than 100 guns, and we are afraid that you will not succeed in the Secrecy Bureau?" You go and ask me again, who Hou Kun was afraid of? Today is your time of death, can you go back? ”
Hou Kun then instructed his subordinates: "You two don't care about me. Take the guy over there and dig a hole, and I'll tell him why he killed him."
Two attendants took a pickaxe and a shovel from the cart and dug a pit beside a grave in front of them. The sound of "knock, knock" fell, as if it was slashed on Ma Liangchen's heart. This spy was cold-blooded and cruel when he killed, and every time he ended a fresh life, he felt excitement and pleasure in his heart. But when he was about to be executed by others, he really realized how terrible and unacceptable death was! Ma Liangchen's nerves collapsed, his brain was blank, and he lost the arrogance just now, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed like garlic, the left Uncle Hou, and the right begged for his life: "Please don't kill me!" Don't kill me! I have money, gold bars, and a house, you can take them all, just leave me alive!" Please, I'm really scared to death! Woo, woo. Ma Liangchen cried sadly, snot and tears mixed together.
Hou Kun kicked Ma Liangchen with his foot and said mockingly: "You have also killed a lot of people, you can be regarded as having seen the world, people die like lights going out, this is a very common thing, why are you people in the Secret Bureau also afraid of death?" ”
"Yes, I don't want to die, no, no, I'm afraid of death, I'm afraid of death, I haven't lived enough, I can't die! I can't put off this light. Ma Liangchen was so frightened that he was incoherent.
"Afraid of death and still doing so many bad things? When you do bad things, aren't you afraid of God's retribution? Today you have to die! Someone is going to take your life! Hou Kun looked at him contemptuously.
"Tell me, I offended that uncle? Who wants to put me to death? Even if I die, you will let me die. Ma Liangchen asked in a crying voice.
"You are a person who wants to die, of course I have to tell you, I can't let you report to Lord Yama for no reason!" Hou Kun stopped talking, he took out a snuffbox from his pocket, pinched a pinch of snuff and wiped it in his nostrils, and inhaled deeply; Then he wiped a pinch of snuff, took a puff and exhaled a long breath, which made him feel very comfortable.
This Ma Liangchen stretched his neck and looked at Hou Kun blankly, and his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. He wanted to run, but his legs were too weak to stand up, so he had to crawl and scratch desperately on the ground. Hou Kun stood aside and watched with a sneer. Suddenly, Ma Liangchen lay on the ground and did not move, staring straight at a black thing in front of him, this turned out to be a dead man's head buried in the ground and only exposed on the ground, the dead man's hair like withered grass shook slightly in the wind, the eye sockets of the human head had rotted, revealing two gloomy black holes, Ma Liangchen was so frightened that he almost went out of his body, he was like a mess of mud lying on the ground and could no longer move.
Hou Kun said: "Ma Liangchen, listen, I used to be a student and subordinate of Mr. Wang Yunqing, and the old man was very kind to me. I can't repay his affection for me for the rest of my life! I am an outsider who will know that you are his son-in-law, but you raid his house, extort his money, arrest his son, and imprison his daughter, you are ungrateful, you are not even a beast! Today I'm going to kill you, a scumbag, out of this bad breath for the teacher! Hou Kun pointed to the dead man's head on the ground and smiled coldly: Is it nice to be buried alive? In a moment you will die the same way as him. But dig deeper into the pit that buries you, bury you deep in the ground, and make you disappear without the gods knowing! ”
At this time, Ma Liangchen finally understood the whole thing, he bowed his head and didn't speak, he understood that this old man couldn't afford to offend, and now he was buried in this mass grave purely for himself. It's too late to regret it! He shook his head helplessly and let out a long sigh. He kept muttering: "I'm not human, I'm damned, I'm a bastard, I'm a brute!" Ma Liangchen struggled to get up from the ground, knelt at Hou Kun's feet and slapped his mouth hard, crying and begging: "Please don't kill me, I promise to honor my father-in-law in the future, and treat him as a cow and a horse!" Your old man let me go, and I will apologize to my father-in-law in person and confess my guilt! ”
Hou Kun said contemptuously: "Why did you know today? It's too late, I can't save you. His voice was as cold as a knife stabbing Ma Liangchen's heart.
The pit had been dug up, and Ma Liangchen smelled the smell of fresh earth, and knew that begging was useless, so he had a nervous breakdown, and all the bones on his body were scattered.
Ma Liangchen was put on the edge of the pit, Hou Kun's men kicked him into the pit, Ma Liangchen was so anxious in the pit that he jumped and screamed, raised his hands to climb up, the people above sprinkled the soil one by one, sprinkled on his body and head, Ma Liangchen became a native man, his mouth, nose and eyes were full of soil, and his eyes were fascinated by the soil and couldn't open them. After a while, the soil was buried in his chest, and he felt that his chest was so stuffy that he couldn't breathe, so his neck was soft and his head hung weakly, he didn't struggle, he accepted his fate. At this time, the people on the pit stopped filling the pit, and Ma Liangchen heard Hou Kun say in a trance: "The surname is Ma, the old man let me tell you: not everyone in the Wang family can bully!" He asked me to teach you a lesson, and let you die! You have remembered for me, in the future, if you dare to touch my mentor again, I will chop you alive and feed it to wild dogs! If you play tricks again, my people will kill you at any time! I told you to die in the morning, and you won't survive noon! You remember it for me, I, Hou Kun, can do what I say! ”
Ma Liangchen fainted when he heard this.
In the dark not far from the mass grave, a jeep was parked, and the people in the car watched everything that happened in front of them from beginning to end, and the people in the car were none other than Wang Yunqing and his brother-in-law Feng Xuanxia. When they saw that Hou Kun had finished handling the matter, they drove away quietly.
Early the next morning, Ma Liangchen was found by a person who went to the grave, he was already dying, he was rescued and returned home with a serious illness, and he did not recover for half a month, whenever he remembered the scene of that night in the cemetery, his spine was cold. After that, no one came to harass Wang Yunqing's house, and it didn't take long for Shuzhen to be released.
