Chapter Forty-Seven: The Killer
After the meal, Su Xiao sat on the table and chair on the side of the street, looking at the bustling crowd in front of him, and on the side was the cloth with cream on the corner of his mouth.
Facts have proved that 'reasoning' with these two goods obviously does not work, or slippers work quickly.
Just as Su Xiao was thinking about where to hang out in the future, the phone in Black Mary's arms rang.
"Hey, hello, no, I'll ask."
Black Mary rejected the other several times in a row.
"Mr. White Night, it's the Ten Old Man Brandt, and he wants to invite us over."
Black Mary covered the phone with her hand and possessed herself, and from Su Xiao's angle, she could see a large area of white skin under her neckline.
"What's the matter?"
"The ten old men hired a group of killers at a high price, and they want you to go over to meet these killers, I feel that they want you to go to the scene, do you want to refuse?"
"Promise them."
"Yes."
Black Mary said a few words and hung up.
"Sooner than expected......"
"What?"
Black Mary looked at Su Xiao suspiciously.
"Nothing."
The two drove to the auction's new venue, which was not far from the original one, three blocks away.
In front of the new auction hall, flowers of various colors were arranged, some of them bundled in a circle, and placed at the door, flanked by several panicked gangsters.
When the two of them arrived by car, Su Xiao was stunned when he saw those 'wreaths', and the first thought in his heart was who died?
"Who died?"
"Huh?"
Black Mary was a little confused, and then said: "Is it the smell of blood, worthy of Mr. White Night, I will let them patrol the surroundings immediately." ”
Black Mary made a gesture to get out of the car.
"Wait."
Su Xiao called out to Black Mary, and coughed lightly in a slightly embarrassed way, those 'wreaths' should be a celebration in the hunter world, similar to the celebration of the opening of the store.
The store opened to send wreaths, Su Xiao was awkward no matter how he thought about it.
"Your etiquette here is so special."
Su Xiao got out of the car, leaving behind a surprised Black Mary.
From these wreaths, it can be seen that the new auction is not going well, and the auction even needs to have a celebration to attract customers, which was not necessary at all in previous auctions, and customers will come to the door on their own.
Black Mary saw Su Xiao's doubts and began to recount what happened this morning.
After the auction was flattened once, most of the guests were resistant to Youkexin's auction, and no one wanted to risk their lives to participate in an auction.
When the auction opens on the morning, it is crowded with customers, not to mention the busy customers, and all the merchants and residents who have set up shops within a few hundred meters of the neighborhood have run away, looking like they are plague gods.
This really infuriates the ten old men, but even if they are gangsters, they can't force customers to come to the auction with a gun to their heads.
For the sake of his own face, the ten old men could only make this strategy, get an unwanted opening ceremony, and gather the gang members to cheer, this order can frighten the direct gang of the ten old man's forces, and these people don't want to come to the auction.
At 8 o'clock in the morning of the same day, the ten old men found that there were still no people attending the auction, and even the members of their own gang were pushing and covering up, and the ten old men were angry and ordered that whoever dared not come would be expelled from the gang.
Ten o'clock in the morning, which is now.
There was a scene in front of the auction hall full of wreaths, and next to the wreaths were some gangsters with nervous expressions and bulging pockets around their waists.
After listening to Black Mary's description, Su Xiao had a general understanding of the situation.
"In other words, there are no other people in the auction hall except for the gang members?"
"Well, no one dared to participate, after all, it was ...... before"
Black Mary was a little apprehensive, she was there at the last auction.
"It's best if no one participates, but the ten old men have been in the underworld for so many years, and there will definitely be people who will come to cheer when the auction opens in the evening."
Su Xiao didn't care if anyone participated in the auction, as long as it could be opened smoothly.
Entering the auction room, this building occupies a large area and is larger than the last auction room.
The auction hall was full of gang members, and there was not a single outsider in sight, Su Xiao got on the elevator on the first floor, and the elevator stopped on the sixth floor.
"The hired killers have arrived, just waiting for you to arrive."
Black Mary leads the way.
……
At this time, in a living room on the sixth floor, a short, bald fat man wearing small round sunglasses was holding a cigar, and he was looking at the killers in the room with a scrutinizing gaze.
The bald fat man's name is Jiji, which is not his original name, it is the nickname given to him by others after he became a gangster, and they have called him that way over time.
Ji Ji is the direct gang leader of the Ten Old Men's forces, and it is normal for these killers to be received by him, and Ji Ji is also willing to do these things that are risky and can show his face.
Although his character is not very good, but Ji Ji is a smart person, in the original book, the ten old men are all dead, but Ji Ji is still alive in style, of course, this has something to do with his strength, no one will kill him at all.
“1.2.3.4…… It looks like it's all here. ”
Ji Ji fiddled with his fingers, remembering the number of hired killers in his mind, and one of his subordinates leaned over and replied, "Not yet." ”
"Isn't the assassination team eight people?"
"It looks like the Nosra family will bring someone over."
Hearing about the Nosra family, Cheap Ji was a little unhappy, and an emotion called jealousy spread in his heart.
"Cut, the guy who only uses divination to bluff people."
Although he said so, he was very envious, and he also hoped to have such a daughter.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
Wright? Nothra walks into the room with Kurapika, Wright? Nosra is the patriarch of the 'Nosra family', the father of the soothsayer Nihu.
The two of them walked into the room without speaking, just standing aside.
"It's finally here this time, the commission is to get rid of the Phantom Brigade, and the auction will be restarted tonight, and they will appear if they don't do it, once they find out, they won't be killed."
Ji Ji looked around at the several killers present, these killers were dressed in different ways, and they were all masters for the gangsters.
In fact, this commission training is not an assassination, but it is biased towards protection, waiting for the brigade to take the initiative to find the door in the auction hall, but after all, everyone present is a killer, and directly saying that they should protect the smooth progress of the auction will inevitably refute the face of these killers.
"As a team, we all have the same goals, so how about deciding on the code names when we contact each other?"
A killer spoke, a mediocre-looking type of person who would never be noticed in the crowd.
"It's better to call it a color, I'm blue."
A killer in a vest spoke.
"I'm red."
"Black."
As several of the killers said their colors, the two killers who had been standing in the room spoke.
"It's child's play."
An old man with white hair and a slender white beard spoke, with his hands behind his back and a long strip of cloth hanging from his chest, on which was written 'Career Active'.
