Chapter 45: Epimaggots
The locust was quick-eyed, and he immediately noticed that Li Yi's conversation with himself was likely to be exposed to a third party, and without saying a word, a piece of iron flew out of his pocket, the edge sharpened, and cut like a sword at the grass on their edge.
On the other side, Li Yi's movements were faster, this "dart" flew towards the little man in front of him, and the little man who subconsciously dodged the dart was about to fall off the edge of the cliff, he stepped out in a few steps and quickly picked it up.
"Song Yushu?" Li Yi frowned, looked at the face in front of him, and cried like a bitter melon, obviously frightened.
The locust was silent, and also stepped forward, grabbing Song Yushu's wrist, and the aura exuding from his body was cold and ruthless.
"What are you doing?" Li Yi struggled with him, but the locust mantis lifted Song Yushu up as if he was mentioning something. In Song Yushu's view, at this time, it was the same as taking a cable car, being held by the big palm of the locust, stretched out steadily into the distance, suspended in the air at a height of thousands of meters, and let his legs flutter hard, the locust had no intention of letting go.
"What for?" The locusts were doing something that they took for granted. "Extinguish the mouth, I don't know where to start listening to this thing, don't extinguish the mouth and keep it for him to tell Lao Tzu's secret? Do you still want to live? ”
"Wait." Li Yi's eyes rolled rapidly. "You let him go first."
The locust did not let go, but it did not directly result in Song Yushu, but looked at Li Yi with a suspicious expression.
"What, you're going to keep him?" Locust asked.
Li Yi didn't think about it and nodded.
"This man...... Song Yushu, this guy has something to do with my plan, you let him go. ”
Although Locust didn't even intend to believe a word from Li Yi, he didn't dare to take any risks until he got out of prison. The thick arm waved fiercely, carrying Song Yushu back like a mouse, and Li Yi grabbed Song Yushu with one hand and dragged him behind him.
"At least keep your mouth shut." However, the locust didn't plan to let Song Yushu go back like this, he took out another piece of iron from his arms. "The tongue, the finger stays, the person goes."
Belch!
Song Yushu shouted and struggled behind Li Yi's back.
"I didn't hear that!! I didn't hear anything! ”
A smile appeared at the corner of the locust's mouth.
"No matter how much you listen or how much you hear, boy, I can only blame you for being inquisitive and harmful." The locust stepped in front of Song Yushu in a few gloomy steps. "Originally, the dead are the most reassuring, but it looks like I have to spare your life, boy, don't blame me."
The locust held the iron piece in his hand, and he didn't know where it was polished, it was as sharp as a blade, and it looked even colder in the sun, and Song Yushu's tears rolled out of his eye sockets.
Li Yi silently stopped between the two, his eyes looking directly at the locust.
"What? You're still protecting this kid? The locust was not in a hurry, he knew that Song Yushu would not be able to escape after all, and patiently played with this piece of iron in his hand, and the sharp blade scraped on his fingers.
"Locusts, I just don't think there's any need to make enemies. At this juncture, you don't want another troublemaker, do you? This guy is supposed to know the plan, so he doesn't have to be so desperate. ”
The locust stared at Li Yi for a long time, and the movements in his hand gradually stopped, and he slowly put away the iron piece.
"Interesting, boy." The locust sat cross-legged, its burly body like a hill. "I'm too busy to take care of myself, and I still have the leisure to protect this kind of goods."
"It's impossible for Lao Tzu to trust this maggot." The locust patted the ground and motioned to Li Yi
Sit down. "But since Lao Tzu wants to cooperate with your kid, he is not an unreasonable person, so what is the use of asking him?"
"To escape through the secret passages, we also need an insider, preferably a humble character, to break into the prison guards. Like Song Yushu, he cleans the police room and public areas all year round, and most prison guards don't take him as a threat, I think it's a good internal response. ”
Of course, the locust knows this, in the Santa Prison, the class distinction is very obvious, and Song Yushu is obviously the person who survives at the bottom, and the reason why the locust calls him "maggot" must also be for this reason.
"Kind of makes sense. But how do you guarantee that this kid won't snitch? Don't say that Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, Li Yi, can you trust this kind of soft bones? ”
Li Yi didn't answer directly, he stared at Song Yushu for a long time, and nodded solemnly.
"He's in line with our interests, and this kid just wants to get out of this place as quickly as possible." Li Yi said.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, sat on either side of Song Yushu. Song Yushu lowered his head, trembling all over, like a drenched chicken, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at the sides.
"I ...... I'm just curious. Song Yushu began to confess, although the locust didn't believe a word, he still didn't let go of Song Yushu's every expression, and his eyes were firmly locked on him. Brother Li must have a plan and an idea before he dares to come here with the boss...... So ......"
"So you're going to sneak up the mountain, ready to stab it secretly, and give Lao Tzu a surprise attack?" The locusts slammed the ground, their palms slapping against the rocks with a loud bang, and the sound roared like thunder. ", what the hell are you up to?"
Hearing the thunderous threat of the locust, Song Yushu was shocked and frightened, and his hands trembled and shook back and forth.
"Nope! No, I just think that since Brother Li has a way to go, maybe he can take me. ”
"Fart." Of course, the locust didn't believe it, he stared at Song Yushu, his teeth cracked. "What the are you guilty about? If you don't let it go after a few months, will you want to run? ”
Song Yushu listened, squeezed out a wry smile on his face, and added a touch of inadvertent bitterness to his sallow and dry face. Li Yi looked at it in his eyes and asked out loud.
"What's your problem?"
Li Yi's question poked straight into Song Yushu's heart, softly breaking his defense. He raised his head and looked at Li Yi, and the sorrow in his throat and eyes broke the embankment for a while.
"Brother Li...... I. He sighed. They called me, tarsal maggots...... The boss of this matter should know that the reason why I was arrested was actually just an inconsequential matter. ”
"A trifle?" Li Yi felt incredible. "I think that's unlikely."
"This is Santa Prison, Locust, do you think about it, has there ever been a precedent for a minor prisoner?" Li Yi's eyes flashed, he shook his head, and changed his words. "No, I say that, do you have the impression that any minor criminals have successfully escaped from here?"
With this sentence, the deep sea submerged the translucent lighthouse, and the locusts also realized that something was wrong.
"What do you mean?" The locust clawed his fingers and calculated. "You say that, light criminal...... Where have all these guys gone? ”
"Dead." Song Yushu shook his head. "They're all dead, Brother Li...... Top dog...... I've only heard about it, but this rumor is very popular in prison, and it is not unfounded. Petty criminals were not brought here for the purpose of detaining them...... But...... It's ......" Song Yushu's words came to this, and he couldn't continue any longer.
"It's about taking advantage of the right time and place
and send them back to the West. Am I right? Li Yi helped Song Yushu finish speaking.
"You know that, too?" The locust frowned. "But why would they do it?"
"That's interesting." Li Yi shook his head. "I'm not sure, but since Yushu said so, I think there is only one possibility."
"What?" The locusts had a premonition that something was not quite right.
"Yushu, tell me how you got in." Li Yi did not answer positively. "Maybe that's the answer."
Song Yushu looked at the two of them in a hurry, and reluctantly began to confide in his experience.
“…… I, I have bought white goods in the mainland, but the boss's business has been transferred to Southeast Asia, and all the goods in the inland have been cut off...... Then there were only fruits......" Song Yushu said, glancing at the locust. These things in Song Yushu's mouth were originally an industrial chain operated by locusts.
The locust glared at Song Yushu, spat out a mouthful of saliva, and smashed it to the ground with a fist.
Li Yi also looked at the locust.
"He's telling the truth." The locusts make no secret of it. "Lao Tzu's business originally started in the inland, damn, the group of slivers in the inland is the same as not dying, so Lao Tzu can only nest in such a ghost place where birds don't."
Li Yi smiled and said nothing, waiting for Song Yushu to continue.
"But I didn't expect it...... The police in Southeast Asia began to squat at us retail investors...... It's pitiful, it wasn't like this two years ago, but if it's the boss's old patrons, they will always give some face, and they will be released after two days, but I didn't expect it...... This time, he actually took a whole den......"
"I ...... I was used as a hook by them, and it was good at first, but I wasn't addicted to it, and I was just playing...... But unexpectedly, the third time I broke another point, and after that, I was pressed in the name of collaborating in the crime. ”
"You mean, the police in Southeast Asia rely on you to solve stolen cases?" Li Yi vaguely realized that the situation behind it was not simple.
Song Yushu clenched his hands tightly, and tears began to flow out again.
"I can't help it...... I want to live, and I don't want my family to know that I'm like this...... I...... They called me tarsal maggots because I helped the police get their den. ”
"." The locust sneered and looked at Song Yushu. "What Lao Tzu looks down on the most is people like you, you can play if you want to play, anti-water harms people, it's really not a thing, and you don't look at yourself yourself?"
Li Yi did not comment, he knew that this kind of thing was not new at all in Southeast Asia, especially in this kind of gang that distributed stolen money and roamed illegal transactions.
But obviously, Song Yushu, who is caught between the two forces, is not at all easy. Originally, he did not have any unforgivable sins, but because of such a wrong step, he fell to the brink of life and death.
“…… I really don't want to die. Song Yushu sobbed. I...... I just ......"
Li Yi knew that Song Yushu couldn't say anything meaningful. He stood up, carried Song Yushu, and turned around.
"Locust, I'll take this kid away first, and the rest of the conditions will be discussed in secret...... This guy's life, even if it's on me, you don't have an opinion. ”
Li Yi knew that now the interests of the locusts were the same as his own, and after learning the true darkness of this prison, Li Yi also believed that the locusts would no longer sit idly by, so he could only be at his mercy, at least for now.
"Wait." However, unexpectedly, the locusts stopped in front of Li Yi.
