1004 Jane's Nightmare (4th Watch)
In order to hide people's eyes, this hideout of the jackal is as dilapidated as the previous one.
A luxury villa that has been unattended for many years may arouse the suspicion of others. But the dilapidated house that no one lives in will not be noticeable, the jackal parked his car in an empty garage nearby and walked to the door of the hideout, while the off-road vehicle driven by Lin Chi was parked directly on the side of the street, lined up with private cars in front of other houses.
The bald robber opened the door, stood in the doorway and paused for a moment, then turned sideways to the three people standing behind him and said, "Come in." ”
After Lin Chi, Mason and Zhen entered the house, the jackal immediately closed the door, and since there was no need to show up at all, the elite mercenaries did not enter the house with them.
There were only five of them left in an elite mercenary team of ten people at the time of departure, and five soldiers died from roadside bombs planted by unknown forces while they were preparing for interrogation after capturing the members of the Lions.
After entering the house, Lin Chi was about to sit on the dark brown broken sofa, but saw the jackal take out his mobile phone and start dialing.
"Who are you going to call?" Lin Chi asked.
"The old cowboy bastard, of course." The jackal, whose face was bandaged, looked up, and the wound made him open his mouth a little less, which was particularly comical.
Hearing this, Lin Chiyi snatched the jackal's mobile phone and pressed the red button that hung up on the screen.
"What the hell are you doing?" The jackal clenched his fists.
"Don't call, it's better to destroy your phone too." Lin Chi put the jackal's mobile phone on the wooden table, looked around at the living room where the wallpaper began to peel off, and asked, "That old man doesn't know this hiding place, right?" ”
"Only I know here." The jackal's tone was affirmative: "What's wrong?" ”
"That old cowboy may have something to do with the CIA, don't contact him lately." Lin Chi explained: "If he takes the initiative to contact you, don't say anything to him. ”
As soon as these words came out, the jackal's expression immediately became ugly, as if he couldn't accept the facts, and after a while of silence, he finally spoke:
"You say that old ghost is a CIA guy? How can it be? ”
"I didn't say he was an employee of the CIA, but he may have been bribed by the CIA to become a temporary overseas informant." Lin Chi patted the jackal on the shoulder: "You don't want to have anything to do with the CIA, right?" ”
"Do you have any proof?" The jackal's eyes widened.
"We found this." Lin Chi put the armband of the CIA's overseas operations team on the table.
“Fuck……”
Looking at the armband on the table that he didn't recognize, the jackal was speechless for a while, and finally held back a sentence for a long time: "Will the CIA let the bank robber be an informant?" ”
Mason, who had dealt with the CIA before, stepped forward and answered the question in a calm tone: "The CIA will use any informant if necessary, including criminals, mercenaries, enemy soldiers, and even double agents. Not to mention a bank robber, even if he is a terrorist, there is a possibility of cooperation with the CIA. ”
"That's right." The jackal stared up at the ceiling, and a trace of blood oozed from under the gauze on his face: "That damn old man, you may have really betrayed me......"
"Don't be sad, we need to find that No. 21 by other means now, the trade is broken." Lin Chi reminded.
The investigation has not yet been completed, and it is not yet time to "be sad". However, the jackal was obviously in a bad mood, and he didn't plan to say anything, but decisively ordered the eviction:
"You guys go back first, and we'll get back in touch tomorrow. I need...... Be quiet by yourself. ”
Seeing that the other party's mood was very low, Lin Chi did not continue to stay here, and led the two entourages to leave the jackal's hiding place and drive back to his safe house.
"Commander, what now?" Mason stared at his face.
"Let's go to bed first, I'm sleepy."
Lin Chi yawned and reached out to grab Jane's arm: "Mason is sleeping in the living room, and Jane and I will go to the bedroom." ”
"That...... I, I'm not ready. Jane's arm trembled.
"I didn't mean that, I just hope you guys don't fight anymore." Lin Chi looked back at the iron mask on Mason's face: "Now that you are on a mission for me, infighting is absolutely not allowed, you should also know, right?" ”
"Sorry, Commander, I'm a little too excited." Mason bowed his head slightly.
"It's okay, just don't do it again." Lin Chi smiled at Mason and led Jane to the bedroom on the second floor of the safe house.
Since the safe house has been converted into a barracks, this room that was originally a bedroom is neatly arranged with four bunk beds, Lin Chi turned around and closed the door, lay down on the lower bunk by the door, and smiled at Zhen: "You go and sleep over there." ”
Jane came to the bed across from her, and lay straight on it, moving like a stiff corpse.
"Turn the lights off." Lin Chi said.
The boy used his special function to remotely press the light switch, and the bedroom was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
In the era of the map of the city of chaos, human nightlife is not as rich as in 2035, and because of the rampant criminals in the city, the streets are dark at midnight, and the houses on the street are basically all lights off, only a few street lamps scattered on the side of the road, still dutifully shining.
Lin Chi lay on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the young man's crisp voice floated from his right hand:
"Did you sleep?"
"Not yet." Lin Chi said.
"Well, can you hear about my troubles?" Jane asked tentatively.
"I've dealt with adolescent psychology before." Lin Chi laughed: "Just say it directly." ”
"Hmm......" Jane took a long breath, but did not speak immediately, and the voice came belatedly after a while, drifting into Lin Chi's ears:
"I felt like I was just a mistake to live."
"Why do you say that?" Lin Chi slowly opened his eyes.
"My whole life is just killing people, and I don't seem to have done anything else." Jane's voice trembled a little: "I thought about it for a while, there should be many relatives and friends of the victims who want to seek revenge on me." ”
"You mean like Mason?" Lin Chi asked.
"That gentleman, I met him in the Volkuta labor camp in the Soviet Union." Jane lowered her voice: "At that time, I was a soldier in the superpower unit, and I went there to capture a prisoner who might have superpowers. While we were looking for people in the labor camp, several men attacked me, and I killed them all, probably with Mr. Mason's friends among them......"
"The past is gone, you don't have to blame yourself." Lin Chi sighed.
It's not a good idea to make a mentally unsound child a murderous slaughterer, and just look at Jane's current situation, even though she has long since escaped from the Soviet superpowers, the child is still tormented by the nightmares of the past.
Lin Chi knew that Zhen's mental illness would not suddenly recover because of a few words from her, and she might not even be able to get better. To overcome this kind of problem, in the final analysis, it depends on the child's own efforts, and there is actually nothing he can do.
"Sleep......" he said.
The sudden sleepiness came to my heart, and the "old salted fish" who had just returned from the battlefield quickly fell into a dreamless sleep.
