The Fourth Case: The Shadowless Killer Volume 1

A mysterious killer

In a dilapidated building, the dim daylight shone intermittently on two figures: an old man in his fifties and sixties, and a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old. The old man leaned weakly on a pillar, bleeding from his legs, as if he had been shot, and the young man next to him was covered in wounds, and said something to the old man with tears in his eyes, and from time to time turned his head to look at a pillar not far away, and behind that pillar was a time bomb! But the old man's face was peaceful, without the slightest panic, he just looked at the young man quietly, after a while, turned his head to look at the time, and found that there were less than two minutes before the time of the bomb explosion, so he gently stopped the young man's speech, and said to him slowly and peacefully:

"Okay, time is running out, let me teach you one last lesson: as a detective, you must face your feelings calmly, no matter what happens, you must keep the principle of being a detective and be clear about your responsibilities - Tang Peng, remember my words, you have the talent to be a good detective, but you have to learn to control your emotions - I can teach you everything, do it yourself...... The bomb is about to explode, and if you respect me as a teacher, listen to me: get out of here - or I'll kill myself now! ”

"Teacher......" Tang Peng looked at the old man with tears in his eyes, and then looked at the remaining time of the bomb, as if there were thousands of knives ** to go and pull out again, he stood up with grief, walked a few steps out, and suddenly turned around and looked at the old man with a firm look, "I, with the life that the teacher gave me, I swear to God: I must find those 'shadowless killers' and break them to pieces!" ”

After speaking, Tang Peng ran out of the building with tears, the old man sighed, shook his head, looked at the bomb with a calm expression, and slowly closed his eyes:

"Silly Kid ......"

As soon as Tang Peng ran out, there was a loud bang behind him, and he turned to let out a heart-rending shout at the building that was already surrounded by flames......

"Teacher—" Tang Peng shouted and sat up from the bed, realizing that it was just a dream, but he sat there for a long, long time...... Two lines of tears slowly slipped down from his eyes, dripping onto the quilt one by one, and after a while, the quilt was wet for a large time, at this moment, the night outside the window was very quiet, the faint moonlight shone on his face through the glass, Tang Peng's eyes suddenly became a little terrifying, "I'm going to break you despicable killers to pieces!" ”

......

(Early in the morning) a limousine stopped downstairs in the detective agency, and out of it came a young driver in his twenties, he looked at the dilapidated apartment known as the detective agency, and his excited mood seemed to be much cooler, and he couldn't help but sweat on his head:

"This is the 'Ssangyong Detective Agency' that has been rumored recently? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a slum ......"

"Wow - what a car!" A cute girl appeared behind the car at some point, looking at the car with an envious expression, "Could this be the car that came to pick us up to the 'Yamen Casino'?" ”

"'Yamen Casino'?" The young driver was taken aback, and looked back at the girl curiously, "Miss, may I ask if you are Chang Jing?" ”

"Yes, hello! What's your name, big brother? Chang Jing raised her head and smiled sweetly at the driver.

"(So cute) This, my name is Li Kai, and I am the driver of your client Sui Binxi this time, according to the arrangement on the phone, I came to pick you up - may I ask, hasn't Mr. Tang Peng come down yet?" Li Kai blushed and said shyly.

"Yes! Why is Brother Tang Peng so slow......" Chang Jing pouted and looked at the detective agency, and after a while, a young man with eyes and a tired expression walked out of it, and as soon as he came out, Chang Jing hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Tang Peng is so slow-huh?" Why does Brother Tang Peng have dark circles on his face? ”

Tang Peng smiled at Chang Jing and did not answer, after seeing Li Kai not far away, he politely stepped forward to introduce himself, Li Kai looked at Tang Peng with a look of admiration, his expression was a little excited, and he suddenly shouted:

"Great! Finally meet your real person - just like the rumors, so personable, I'm your hardcore detective fan, do you know! After you and Cheng Shuai solved those two big cases, there were a lot of rumors about the two of you, and some people started to discuss which of the two of you is more powerful - I absolutely believe that you are much more powerful - can you sign me? ”

“......”

(On the car) Li Kai drove the car excitedly and turned back to Tang Peng from time to time to speak, Tang Peng sat in the back row with a tired face, and was woken up by Li Kai several times when he wanted to doze off, so he had to reluctantly reply a few words occasionally, Chang Jing sat next to Tang Peng and couldn't help but snicker, she saw that Tang Peng was indeed too sleepy, and Li Kai didn't seem to have the intention of stopping talking, so she couldn't help but take the conversation, and asked Li Kai some questions from time to time, and shifted Li Kai's attention to himself, so as to let Tang Peng take a nap:

"But, that Mr. Sui Binxi has so many bodyguards, why did he want Brother Tang Peng to protect him?"

“...... Actually, I don't know much about this. Li Kai frowned and thought for a while, and continued uncertainly, "It seems that this time the boss has provoked a mysterious killer group called 'Shadowless Killer', and the police can't help them, so ......"

"What!" Tang Peng opened his eyes violently, half got up and grabbed Li Kai's clothes, "What kind of killer are you talking about?" ”

Tang Peng's actions startled Chang Jing and Li Kai, Li Kai thought that he had said the wrong thing, but looked at Tang Peng in horror and didn't speak, Tang Peng froze, seemed to notice that he was a little out of shape, and quickly apologized, slowly sat back in his seat and buried his head thinking about something, and did not speak again......

Second, the gambling god Sui Binxi

After getting out of the car, Tang Peng and Chang Jing were taken to a semi-public luxury casino, which was not like a gathering place for gamblers, but more like a place for upper-class people to exchange and gather, looking at those advanced gambling equipment and strange various gambling machines Chang Jing exclaimed again and again, Tang Peng obviously didn't like this atmosphere very much, although he drank his drink calmly, but his face couldn't stop sweating, and then a tall young man walked towards them:

"You are Tang Peng and Chang Jing! My name is Sun Liqian, and I am Sui Binxi's subordinate, and he asked me to show you the way—follow me. ”

As he spoke, Sun Liqian nodded to Tang Peng, and made a gesture to follow, then looked forward to himself, Chang Jing curled his mouth beside him, and made a grimace at Sun Liqian's back:

"What kind of attitude, Li Kai is much more polite than him!"

Sun Liqian suddenly stopped, did not look back, and said in a very serious tone:

"Miss, I don't like people to make faces behind my back, please pay attention next time."

Chang Jing was startled and nodded a little scared:

"Okay (does he have eyes behind his back) ......"

Sun Liqian nodded with his back to her, and walked forward on his own, Tang Peng looked at this strange person himself: he was strong, about the same age as himself, his body was quite virtuous and straight, his pace was steady, his face was resolute, and there were a few shallow scars on his face - he should have joined the army.

......

The two followed Sun Liqian to a large private room, Sun Liqian signaled to let them wait quietly and not to make a sound, there was a large gambling table in the middle of this private room, there were several professional gambling cards and two piles of gambling chips on the table, there were several judges sitting around in the distance, there was a person sitting at both ends of the gambling table, the person at the right end was about forty years old, looking at the person at the end of the table with a sweaty face, I saw that the person was about twenty years old, his expression was calm, and he was smiling and looking at his opponent. The air around him was inexplicably a little dignified, and suddenly, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and pushed out all the chips in front of him:

"Fuck you! Lao Tzu doesn't believe that you are a straight flush - I'm all down, Sui Binxi, you will take the seed! ”

Sui Binxi scratched his face with his index finger with an embarrassed expression, making a helpless look:

"Feiwei, you're an old-timer anyway, there's no need to be so impulsive! Alright, alright, this is for you to make - I don't follow! ”

"Hahahaha! Young people are young people! Still calling himself the God of Gamblers? You weren't weaned when I was in the casino—fight with me? The waiter won the chips won by Fei Wei in front of Fei Wei, who looked at Sui Binxi contemptuously and let out a wild laugh, Sui Binxi shrugged his shoulders and gestured to the waiter to let him continue to deal cards......

"What's the matter, Lao Tzu's card is bigger than yours - all down!" Fat Wei once again pushed out all his chips.

"Fatty! Why are you always so impulsive, forget it, I don't follow! Sui Binxi knocked the card and said he gave up......

Several times in a row, Sui Binxi was "frightened" by Feiwei, and lost the cards again and again, he looked at his watch with a depressed expression:

"The time is almost up, according to the regulations, even if the time is up, even if the person with fewer chips loses, he will lose all the remaining chips to the other party - I still win more than a million chips, even if I go all, I can't win you, anyway, it's the last game, I'll use the two villas under my name as chips, plus one million here, a total of nine million - if you want to follow, you have to use your casino in the South Ring to make the code, plus these on your table are enough, do you follow?"

Fei Wei hesitated, glanced at Sui Binxi, and slapped the table:

"Fuck you! Want to bluff me? Lao Tzu didn't know how to write the word 'afraid' since he was a child-Lao Tzu followed! Deal! ”

......

Fei Wei sat on the soft stool, looking at the cards that had been opened with a numb expression, his mind was "buzzing", and his mouth kept muttering:

"How so? How so? Impossible, impossible......"

Sui Binxi politely sat down and settled the bet he won with the judges and Feiwei's casino, after that, Sui Binxi turned his head and found that his childhood friend Tang Peng was looking at him with a complicated expression, Sui Binxi nodded at him with a smile, ready to go over to talk to him, but unexpectedly, Feiwei suddenly lost his mind and took out a pistol and pointed it at himself:

"What the fuck do you—"

Seeing that Fei Wei was about to pull the trigger, Sun Liqian didn't know when he had rushed to Fei Wei, and he knocked down Fei Wei's pistol with a raised hand, and with a punch, Fei Wei was beaten to the ground, Fei Wei's subordinates heard the movement and hurriedly rushed in from outside to help, and the person in front of him just ran next to Tang Peng and was thrown to the ground by Tang Peng with a beautiful over-the-shoulder fall, and the people behind were taken aback, even Chang Jing looked at Tang Peng with his mouth wide open, and when he saw that everyone was about to fight, the judges stopped him in time......
