Section 20 Farcical Robbery [II]
It's like O'Connor and Duncan, James. McBride began to regret it as soon as he screamed, but he was also very surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info because theoretically, Sean. O'Connor must have become a dead man; Even if he hadn't been killed, he shouldn't have run to San Francisco, let alone his house to rob him.
But for now, he can only hope that the robber who is pointing a pistol at his head is not Sean. O'Connor, otherwise he'd be in big trouble. Of course James. McBride was also thinking that there were many people with the surname O'Connor, and it was very likely that he had recognized the wrong person......
But O'Connor shattered his hopes with just one sentence. "You know me?"
"Nope." Lying is the only way to escape," I just once heard of a guy named Sean. O'Connor's man, "after all, even if the same is called Sean. There were a lot of O'Connor people, too, "I think you just happen to have the same name." ”
This kind of clumsy lie could not fool neither Qin Lang nor O'Connor, and even Duncan knew that he was not telling the truth. James. McBride's actions immediately cost him.
"Your attitude already makes me very sad, Mr. McBride, and now you're actually lying again......" Qin Lang sighed, shook his head in disappointment, and then gestured to Duncan. Duncan, get a pot...... Never mind. He had wanted Duncan to get a basin of water, but it soon occurred to him that there was a bathtub full of bath water in the bathroom, so there was no need to bother the Scots.
He nodded to O'Connor. "Go to the bathroom."
"Good idea." O'Connor already knew what he was going to do.
They dragged James. McBride burst into the bathroom, smashed him to the ground with the butt of his gun, and then pushed his head into the bathtub.
It was almost a full minute before they pulled the jeweler, who had already taken a few large sips of bathwater, up.
"My dear Mr. McBride, are you ready to tell the truth now?" Qin Lang put his mouth to the jeweler's ear, who was coughing violently, and whispered but clearly threatening, "Of course, if you plan to continue lying, it doesn't matter, we can slowly test how strong your underwater breathing ability is." ”
But James. McBride had already given in, and although it was very dangerous to be honest, he wasn't going to let people drown themselves in the bathtub of his own house. "Okay, I'll be honest."
O'Connor immediately asked the question. "How did you know me?"
"Someone mentioned you to me. Machete……”
"Machete?" Qin Lang didn't understand.
"No, it's a Mexican nickname." O'Connor's face became solemn - no one could see it because of the mask obscuring him, of course, "This guy is the kind of real, vicious bandit who has been roaming the border with his bandits, but few have heard of him, because all the people he has robbed are dead." ”
"And what is his real name?"
"Nobody knows. Even his subordinates only know his nickname. But what I'm interested in is, what do you have to do with Machete, Mr. McBride? O'Connor wondered.
"I have some business dealings with him......"
This is a very subtle statement, but Qin Lang and O'Connor can understand that James . What McBride means. "You sell the stolen goods for him." Of course, jewelers and robbers, this is a reasonable and perfect pair, and such a combination has always been found throughout history.
So Qin Lang and O'Connor didn't want to condemn James. McBride, after all, is not a good person himself, but there is one issue that must be investigated. "How could Machete know me? He's in Mexico and probably has never heard of a nobody like me. "O'Connor is really, really weird.
But Machete is not in Mexico right now. "Machete and his gang were nearby when you and your friends attacked the IRS officers." James. McBride explained, "After you left, they took the rest of the tax with them. ”
That's why the Internal Revenue Bureau lost more than $10,000.
However, O'Connor's mood did not improve because the truth was revealed. The IRS guys don't know that someone else is taking the tax money, and they're going to keep getting him in trouble. Moreover, his dead friends could never be resurrected as a result...... However, what surprised him was yet to come.
First, Qin Lang's question. "Machete, where is this guy now?"
And then there is the answer. "He went to Las Vegas with his guys to die, and he knew you and your friends were there," said James. McBride looked at O'Connor, "He's going to get rid of you." ”
"Why?"
Qin Lang replaces James. McBride answered the question. "Because, if you get caught by the police, they'll know it's not you who stole the taxes, and then the investigation will start again, and Machete doesn't want to expose himself to the police." He paused, then continued: "I think it should have been Mr. McBride's idea, though. ”
"What!" This guess...... O'Connor was taken aback.
James. McBride also immediately denied: "It has nothing to do with me, it's Machete'...... himself"
"Everybody says that, Mr. McBride." Qin Lang sneered, "But I don't see any need for Machete to kill O'Connor at all." He's Mexican, and even if the police do find out the truth about the incident, he won't have to worry. As long as he returns to Mexico, the American police have nothing to do with him. ”
It's 1893, the FBI doesn't exist, and there probably isn't any extradition agreement between the U.S. government and the Mexican government, but more importantly, Mexico is a chaotic country, and who is going to catch a bandit roaming the border?
"It's you, Mr. McBride, who are the ones who are afraid that the police will track down Machete. Once someone in his gang is arrested by the police, those deals between you and him are exposed. Qin Lang's sneer turned into a smile like a knife, "Do you think my judgment is correct, Mr. McBride?" ”
Until now, James. McBride only then discovered that Qin Lang was actually an extremely dangerous person, and his imagination was too rich, which was obviously not a good thing for him, because the things he imagined were basically the same as the facts - but he didn't realize that Qin Lang's imagination was much richer than he thought.
Because he's starting to speculate again. "Let me guess that Mrs. McBride probably didn't die in an accident, she must have been pushed down the stairs by someone."
"Ridiculous! This is just nonsense! "James. McBride retorted angrily. However, no matter how you look at it, his anger is like the annoyance and anger that he showed after the facts were exposed, not only Qin Lang, but O'Connor also clearly felt the emptiness contained in his tone.
There are others.
The low sobs in the living room suddenly disappeared.
Qin Lang noticed it, so he continued: "Some things are actually taken for granted, and they are not uncommon. Mr. McBride, it is clear that Mrs. McBride discovered your secret deal with Machete by some very accident, and you are aware of her knowledge, so it is only natural that you should kill people for your own safety. ”
"No, that's not true!" James. McBride called. Judging by his expression, he was almost about to collapse.
Then it is necessary to take advantage of the victory and pursue, "This is not a fact?" So what are the facts? Is it true that your wife fell down the stairs by accident, as you announced? Then she was really unlucky, because my poor little friend had just fallen down the stairs, and he had only suffered a slight injury—so I have every reason to believe that you are lying again. ”
"Will you press him into the water?" O'Connor looked eager to try. He would now love to put James. McBride drowned, for the sake of his poor friends.
But now is not the time.
Because James. Mr. McBride told the truth. "It's Machete, it's him who pushes it. I swear, I was just standing by at the time......"
"What!" There was an exclamation from the living room, and the sound of an object falling to the floor—you didn't need to look at Qin Lang to know that it was Miss McBride who suddenly stood up, but Yi Shui fell to the floor—and then there was an angry scream: "You bastard!" ”
Rachel. McBride scolds her father for being a mongrel......
However, this kind of family tragedy was not Qin Lang's concern at all, he only knew that his goal had been achieved. "Mr. McBride, let's make a deal."
