Chapter 26: Burning
"Self-righteous." Li Hong asked.
Yang Wenbin nodded. It's a rich young master. It's a gangster again. Skeletons are rich and powerful. He's a very clever and scheming man, and that's right. But the circumstances of his life doomed him to be a man with his jaw on his head."
"That'...... Even so. So what does that have to do with our plans?"
"Look. At the moment, we have a few things to offer." Yang Wenbin analyzed. First of all. Shi Lize is a puppet leader. Behind his 'pack of wolves'. There's a group called the Clown. That's why he was able to make the business so big. Information such as customers and transactions must be the responsibility of the clown. And the cooperation between Skeleton and Shi Lize must be because of the fancy of this batch of goods. Want to make a fortune out of it. But that's where the problem comes. The organization behind such a huge drug trade can be supported by good people. Will it be easy to reveal customer information to skeletons?"
Li Hong shook his head. Probably not."
"And this time. The skeleton should have a large amount of high-purity drugs in his hands. He tricked me into doing his drug research or not. It's okay to help Shi Lize rob the prison. They must have thought they could get the light of the clown. Easily and effortlessly acquire a fixed number of customers. And now he must have realized that it wouldn't work at all. So what will he do?"
"He'll ...... Do you sell that batch of drugs yourself?" Li Hong's mouth opened wide. But he's now wanted by the police. Will he take any more risks using the channels of the underworld to sell drugs?"
"Don't underestimate the arrogance of skeletons." Yan Junli said. But one thing you're right. Although Wang Hong succeeded in robbing it. But he was also cornered by us and became a wanted criminal. So he categorically didn't dare to use the network of the underworld. That's the time we have now."
Li Hong was confused. No. The more I listened, the more confused I became."
"The network of the underworld does not work. He's got another network." Yang Wenbin reminded. He also has the network of 'Zhou Mu'."
"Ahh You mean."
Yan Junli nodded. said." That's right. The skeleton itself is a rich second generation. Zhou Mu's circle. There must be those drug-addicted officials and wealthy people. So if he's going to take out drugs now. It must be through this channel."
"And we looked into his network. Found someone who was willing to help us. He is a relative of the skeleton friend. He was once coerced by skeletons into taking drugs, so he hated him to the core. He is willing to pretend to introduce friends to the skeletons. Help us lure this rabbit out."
The voice just fell. Li Hong applauded. Terrible. It's worthy of Captain Yan and Doctor Yang."
"One more point. Our goal is not to catch skeletons." Yan Junli said with his hands on his chin. I fought with him for so many years. If you catch him, you can solve the underground problem in City C. I would have put him in jail a long time ago. Find the skeleton. Then through him, he lured out the snake behind Shi Lize and the wolves. That's what we're all about."
Li Hongming nodded.
"I'm going to give you a trip today." Yan Junli tore off a page from the notepad on his desk. Wrote a list of addresses and handed them to Li Hong." Go to this address. Make this call. This is the rich second-generation friend who is willing to help us. You go and help us explore the wind first."
"Understood. Wait for my news." Li Hong took the sticky note paper and walked out of Yan Junli's office.
Yan Junli put down the pen. Pick up a water cup and take a glass of water from the water dispenser. I took a disposable paper cup from the cabinet under the water dispenser. took half a glass of water and handed it to Yang Wenbin.
"What do you think?"
Yang Wenbin raised his eyes and looked at Yan Junli. He took a sip from the glass of water." Same as you think. Maybe we'll be able to figure out that mysterious clown this time."
"If only it could go that smoothly." Yan Junli sighed and said. From Minghai Hospital to Hongfeng Garden to the current drug gang. The name haunts like a ghost. There's something about it everywhere. And we've dealt with it several times. But they don't know anything about it."
Yang Wenbin was silent for a while. Speak." I used to think that the clown was Xia Baiyan alone. But then I felt something was wrong. No matter how powerful a person is, he can't do so much careful and meticulous planning. Later the skeleton told me. The clown is not alone. It's an organization."
"Organization."
Yang Wenbin nodded. A very deep underground organization. No one knows when they were founded. No one knows what they're going to do. Or what has ever been done. Like you said. Like a ghost."
"But why is this kind of organization that comes and goes without a trace keep fighting us? It's a bit of a stretch." Yan Junli frowned. Look at Yang Wenbin." WEN Bin. Are you supposed to ...... Something else is being hidden?"
"How could I possibly hide anything. I don't know anything about them just like you do." Yang Wenbin said lightly. In a word. Be careful. Don't lose your wife like last time."
Yan Junli frowned. Finally nodded.
..........
Skeletons don't actually like the smell of cigarettes. Both choking. Troublesome again. And most importantly. The gray-white smoke drifted through the air as it burned. You can see it, but you can't catch it.
He hates things he can't control.
But the opposite. Skeletons love to burn. Everything is burning at the time. can become gorgeous. Even stinky garbage. The moment you are close to the flames, you can burst out with unparalleled heat. Shout. A fire. Everything was drowned in the heat and the flames.
The skeleton wears a black coat with a long hem. The collar is up. Walking down the street just after nightfall. Diurnal and nocturnal has become a habit for this man. As his name suggests. Some people say. Skeletons don't have hearts. It's not enough to say he's cold-blooded. At least venomous snakes still have warm blood and thick skin. And he was already a skeleton. It's empty inside. There is nothing left.
For such a skeleton. Feelings don't make any sense. Since childhood. Skeletons hate emotion. It's like the fake smile that his parents showed him. For him. Affection is nothing but one of the most hypocritical disguises of human beings. It's just a memorial arch to cover up the dirty in your heart. As you grow older. The skeleton is becoming more and more familiar with humans as creatures. He found that no matter how noble the person was on the surface. Once there is money and power to do the temptation. will tear off all the sanctimonious masks at once. Become as primitive as a beast.
Watching those upper class people in society get contaminated with drugs and become inferior to pigs and dogs. A sense of pleasure will arise in the skeleton's heart. and became more convinced of the fallen nature of man. And the world is getting more and more boring because of it.
That. Sometimes he wants to do a burn to dispel the boredom.
"Brother. This way, this way." Not far away, under a telephone pole stood a man in a down jacket and sunglasses. Desperately beckoning to the skeleton.
The skeleton snuffs out the cigarette. Walked over with a frown.
"What sunglasses are you wearing on a big night. I'm not afraid to hit a tree."
The man in the down jacket nervously pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. I. I'm not afraid of being recognized."
"You're only going to be more suspicious. You're lucky that the police didn't arrest you as a hooligan." The skeleton resisted the urge to roll its eyes. Said angrily. Come on. I have to come out and meet so late. It's winter. If you don't give me a decent home, I won't spare you."
"Definitely. Definitely. You're not saying you're looking for a fat cow. I've got this head in my hand. Maintain the flow of oil." The man in the down jacket hurriedly pulled out a business card from his pocket. See. I'm talking about this person. He is the son of that singer xx. Spending money is like running water. He is a well-known gentleman. Recently I became addicted to drugs. I also gang up and smoke with several brothers. It's been out of stock lately. As soon as I heard that you have goods here. I'll be asked to do it right away."
The skeleton took the card. Flipped twice in your hand. Suddenly laughed. Does xx have a son. When I was drinking with him last month. But I heard that there was only one girl in their family."
Cold sweat began to break out on the forehead of the man in the down jacket. Eyes twinkle." That one...... No. You probably don't know. This is xx the child he adopted from an orphanage. I don't advertise it much to the outside world. Just ......"
"Oh." The skeleton gave a meaningful smile. With a flick of his hand, he threw the business card to the ground. That thin piece of paper met the cold night wind. Immediately I don't know where it was blowing." The adopted son. I guess it just happened to be Yan's surname."
The man in the down jacket nodded violently after hearing this. Yes. Yeah. Right. is surnamed Yan...... You see, don't you know each other?"
The skeleton sneered. The man in the down jacket looks creepy. I shuddered. I wonder if I've said something wrong again. When I'm worried about the head on my neck. I heard the skeleton open its mouth.
"Good. I took this order. You tell the next house. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. Wait for me in the Red Maple Garden in Jiqing District."
"Red Maple Garden." The man in the down jacket was stunned. You're talking about the abandoned red maple orchard."
"Yes. It's the red maple garden." The skeleton waved its hand. Slipped his hand into his coat pocket. He turned and walked into the night." Let him not be late."
Sometimes. It's like this time. Skeletons will want to burn themselves.
Like a moth to a fire. Irrational. Regardless of the situation. Just want to explode the whole world with your own heat. At least that's a lot more interesting.
