Chapter Twenty-Three: Killing Through the City
At 9:35 a.m., the rain did not stop, and it was difficult to see pedestrians on the streets of the non-night market, occasionally one or two cars would shuttle by, and under the dim street lamp, a shop selling quick-frozen ingredients was about to close, and the chubby chef was carrying the unsold dumplings and copying his hands to the back, and when he returned, the freezer was opened, and then the hysterical sound resounded in the rainy night.
"Who the fuck is cheap, stealing a leg of mutton from meβ"
Along the extension of the frozen food shop to the street ahead, a figure under the street lamp walked quickly, and soon melted into the darkness, a leg of lamb with frost stained with rain as it walked, swaying in its hand.
Occasionally, a patrol police officer would drive a four-wheeled electric scooter by, and the figure would hide in the shadows before continuing on, and soon after, he stopped under a shop.
Looking up, it reads: The three words of regular customers are to walk into the alley next to it, and vaguely hear the sound of mahjong rubbing inside, as well as a piece of Peking Opera babbling.
In a moment, he knocked on the door twice.
The light opened with the door and threw out, and an old man with a white beard, wearing a brown woolen vest, looked at Xia Yi outside the door with somewhat cloudy eyes.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Is Chang Ye playing cards here?"
"Oh, look for Chang Ye, he is in the private room by the window on the second floor, you can find it yourself. After the old man finished slowly, he opened the door and let the young man in, glanced at the leg of lamb that the other party was carrying, shook his head, and admonished: "It's so late, and it's not good for your health, young man." β
He walked back to the small room next to him, sat in front of the TV, watched the Peking Opera playing on the black and white screen, clapped his hands on his knees, shook his head, and hummed along.
"The drums are beating on the white gate tower, and the mountains are declining outside the city"
......
In the stairway, wet shoes walked up the stairs step by step.
......
β...... Look at the Wen Hou Feng Xianjun, wearing a golden crown and chain mail and sleeping in clothes. β
......
The corridor was dimly lit, and the waiter who was in charge of mixing tea and delivering water, seeing the figure coming up, kept smiling and opened the door
.....
"I heard the drum of the tower shook, and I got on the horse with my halberd and said goodbye to my wife and daughterβ"
....... The door opened, and a horse boy sitting on the sofa next to him smoking and playing with his mobile phone raised his head, saw the figure of his side face when he entered the door, and shouted: "Xia Yi!!"
The frozen and hard leg of lamb replied, slamming on the door of his face, and at the moment when his body flew upside down, the four people playing cards there flipped the table and drew their weapons.
Flying mahjong, broken teeth, and sudden chaos rose up in this private roomβ
The rain was falling on the leaves in the courtyard, and in a community villa, Ma Lin sat in the living room with a frown and looked at the phone that had been turned off in her hand, feeling a little uneasy.
"Could it be that a colleague in the martial arts hall is looking for you in an emergency?" The mother next to her looked at her daughter with a frowning look and asked with concern.
Ma Lin shook her head, "The ghost only knows..... and he is not familiar with him." β
While speaking, his younger brother Ma Shan hurriedly ran down from the upstairs and pointed outside, "Mom, sister, there are a lot of people outside." At that moment, I heard my father's voice saying, "What are you doing?"
The woman hurriedly got up and walked out, and saw several people at the door, both men and women, wearing black suits, and taking out their documents to show the family.
"Excuse me, is Miss Marin talking to a person named Xia Yi on the phone?"
"Passed. Marlene walked up to her father and looked him in the face, "However, there was no response from there, so I hung up the phone and kept calling." What's wrong? Is that Xia Yi causing trouble?"
A woman in black who took the lead glanced at her companion and said, "Excuse me." β
Turned around and walked back, then pressed the headset, and said into the communicator between the collars: "Dongfang, we have been tricked ......"
Meanwhile.
To the south of the city, two commercial vehicles and a sedan were parked on a street, and more than a dozen commuter bureau members held guns and ran quickly to the location marked on the monitor - in a dark alley ahead.
Dongfang Xu stood under the street lamp, the raindrops pulled out the rain line from the passing light, nodded to the colleagues on guard on both sides of the alley, and then, with a gun, rushed in, in the garbage heap piled up in front, there was a shaking, someone stepped forward and kicked the cardboard boxes and garbage bags on it away, shouting: "-Don't move!"
At this moment, a female voice came from the headset in Dongfang Xu's ear: "Dongfang, we have been tricked ......"
He looked at the garbage heap, a wet teddy dog with ham sausage in his mouth, pricked up his ears in fright, looked at the black muzzle of several guns, sat on the ground and wagged his tail frantically, and on his back, a mobile phone was wrapped in duct tape.
β...... I already know. Hanging up the communication, Dongfang Xu kicked the cardboard box next to him away, turned around and returned to the car, "What was found in the city's surveillance video was not ....."
"I'm still screening and comparing body shapes. β
.......
Regular customers came to the mahjong shop, a figure smashed on the wall of the private room, the glass window buzzed, and the waiter in the corridor ran down in a panic and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
In the private room, there were several people lying horizontally and vertically, and their faces were covered with blood.
Drops of blood dripped down the cold leg of lamb onto the smooth floor, Xia Yi kicked away the knife at his feet, stood in front of the figure with his head wrapped in bandages, picked up the mobile phone that the other party had dropped, and handed it over.
"Something is gone, take it. β
Chang Wu was already injured, even if he was in good condition, he was not the opponent of the other party, he rushed up with his brothers before, but one hand was directly smashed, and the severe pain made his whole person tremble against the corner of the wall, and the calmness and calmness in the hall during the day before were long gone.
"Don't come here..... Xia Yi....Killing people is a crime..... you can't do this..... whatever you want, I'll give it to you, don't do it again..... besides, we are also old ....."
"Tell me where the boss behind me is sitting and what is his name?"
"No..... revitalization of the martial arts hall is just my idea....." Chang Wu is not stupid, he is also a martial artist, and he can obviously feel the killing intent on the other party, but he said that if the boss escapes, it will be himself who will die.
He gasped for air, "You have to believe me......"
The phone in his hand rang suddenly, Xia Yi lowered his eyes, took it from his hand, put it to his ear after connecting, and pressed the other party's mouth and nose with the other hand, and listened to Li Fangming's voice inside: "Come to me." β
The call is disconnected.
"Isn't there one?" the cold words came from between Xia Yi's thin lips.
A sudden phone call made Chang Wu's prepared rhetoric hold back again, looking at the figure standing in front of him, almost the whole person was in a state of collapse.
"I said..... I said that there is indeed a boss behind the ....., his name is Li Fangming, and he has several properties in the city, but he will sit in a single-family villa in the tree-lined garden tonight, and the affairs of the guild hall, the revitalization of the martial arts hall, and the casino are all arranged by him, it has nothing to do with me, I am just a hand-starter......"
Chang Wu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quietly raised his gaze, and reached out to touch the back of his waist, his scalp suddenly tightened, and the dagger fell from the belt on his back waist with a clang, and he "Ahhh.....h screamed, struggled, was dragged for some distance, smashed the glass, and the whole person flew out and fell into the alley.
Xia Yi walked out of the door, went down the stairs, raised his hand and reached out to grab the waiter's mobile phone next to him, then crushed it, went straight out of the side door, stepped on the edge of the slowly spreading bloodstains, and left the alley.
In the door behind him, the old man shook his head and hummed the sound of Peking Opera continuing.
β...... Standing generals, Maxima...... Oops...... Riding alone and wielding a halberd to fight thousands of troops, vowing to kill, .......kill, ...........kill, kill,
The janitor slapped his thigh and shouted.
"Good!!"
