Chapter 38: The Big Case
The road was closed by heavy rain, no one came to the door, and the atmosphere in the tavern was deserted, with only four people.
The bartender stood behind the bar wiping his glasses, the bald old black was reading the newspaper with half a glass of liquor, and behind him stood a servant with an equally hairless head.
In the corner of the wall, the drunken drunkard under the table snored like thunder, as if to distinguish it from the sound of rain outside.
No customers come to the door means no commission for selling alcohol, and the bartender sighs and complains, "Boss, every time it rains, we have to spend a boring night." In the event of a rainstorm in the future, just close the door and rest, and lie in bed, which is more comfortable than sitting here, right? ”
"Yes, you have to be persistent in doing business, if you don't open the door on a rainy day, God knows how much business you will miss. On the bright side, at least, you don't have to clean up the vomit tonight. "The old black head doesn't lift his head, and he stays in the tavern every night not to sell wine, but to sell guns.
Compared to the windfall profits from the sale of guns, the profits from alcohol are not worth mentioning, after all, this is a place where beer is sold by the pound.
If you close for one day, you may miss a customer, who knows if they will come the next day, or if they can come?
"Okay, okay." The bartender shrugged helplessly, poured himself a full glass of foaming beer, and as soon as the glass was handed to his mouth, he saw the door of the tavern being pushed open, and quickly put down the wine glass and squeezed out a smile.
Jiang Mubai strode into the tavern, without looking at the bartender, and walked straight to Lao Hei, he was so wet that he looked like he had just been fished out of the water tank, his clothes were clinging to his skin, leaving a stain of water with every step.
"It's raining so hard, it seems that you like handjobs very much?"
Lao Hei put down the newspaper and joked, but after seeing the blood stains on Jiang Mubai's clothes that had not been washed away by the rain, the smile on his face disappeared.
Jiang Mubai glanced at the attendant behind Lao Hei who was like a great enemy, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there a place to rest, I will only stay for one night." ”
Lao Hei adhered to the usual style, and the lion opened his mouth: "Yes, ten thousand." ”
Hearing Lao Hei's sky-high asking price, Jiang Mubai breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lao Hei didn't take advantage of the great opportunity to rip off customers, but put on an enthusiastic posture, then Jiang Mubai would have to plan for the worst.
"I only brought three thousand, and seven thousand on credit first, and I will make up for you in two days." Jiang Mubai put down the wet sticky banknotes in the money bag and asked, "Are there any painkillers?" The unopened kind. ”
Lao Hei nodded: "Yes, ten thousand." ”
Jiang Mubai raised his middle finger at him: "Give it to me, and I want a belt and bandages." ”
Lao Hei also raised his middle finger and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"Boast that you can do business, ahem." Jiang Mubai gritted his teeth, clutched his chest and urged, "Boss Hei, please hurry up and let your little brother go get the medicine." ”
"Tie Dan, go get the medicine." Lao Hei glanced at the attendant behind him, then turned his head to look at Jiang Mubai, and said, "Why do you want a belt bandage?" ”
Jiang Mubai thought for a moment and told the truth: "The ribs are broken, I want to make a simple chest strap." ”
"How many are broken? The belt doesn't work, believe me, that thing is useless. Lao Hei's expression became more and more solemn, "If your ribs are significantly displaced after the break, I will ask Tie Dan to help you do a closed reset." ”
Professional hunters go into the mountains to hunt at least a dozen times a year, and it is inevitable to get injured in battles with monsters, maybe this is the experience summed up by hunters, Jiang Mubai thought back for a moment, and vaguely remembered that he had indeed heard the instructor say in the battlefield ambulance and health class before that the use of a chest strap after a rib fracture may cause other problems, so he nodded and said: "Forget it, no belts and bandages, and no need to trouble you to help me reset." ”
He knew his own situation, Jiang Mubai didn't think that his injury was serious enough to require immediate treatment, and besides, he didn't worry about letting Lao Hei's follower reset him.
Lao Hei glanced at the bicycle outside the tavern, lifted his thick lips, and asked with a smile: "You still ride to me with a broken rib, why, someone is chasing you?" ”
"No, you're close." Jiang Mubai took the unopened bottle of painkillers, didn't want to talk nonsense, and asked bluntly, "I need to rest, where is the room?" ”
"Second floor." Old Black pointed to the ceiling, and then to the bartender, "He'll take you." ”
The bartender bent down and got out of the bar, led Jiang Mubai to the second floor, pushed open a door, and made a gesture of please.
Jiang Mubai glanced into the door, the room was small, narrow and damp, there was a wooden bed under the seeping wall, the futon was quite clean, but there were no pillows.
The bartender scratched his head weakly and asked, "You, what, do you want to drink?" ”
"No, thank you." Jiang Mubai glanced at the room, didn't see any glass, and immediately changed his words, "Wait, bring me a beer." ”
Waiting for the bartender to bring beer from downstairs, Jiang Mubai closed the door, found a place to put the glass containing golden beer on the doorknob, and then opened the painkiller packaging tray and sat on the bed.
In the hall of the tavern on the first floor, Tie Dan bent down against Lao Hei's ears and whispered, "Boss, I know who he is." ”
"Oh?" Lao Hei touched his bald head.
"His name is Jiang Mubai, from Xiaoshan District, and he is the righteous man who slaughtered dogs said by Jizhou Radio Station, and he killed Ye Nanfeng's dog. I guess, he bought a gun to defend himself, boss, Ye Nanfeng must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy his life, I think his injuries seem to be quite serious, or ......"
"Smack!"
Lao Hei slapped his round brain melon like a boiled egg, and scolded: "Nonsense, fart!" ”
"Huh?" Tie Dan rubbed his head, a little aggrieved.
"Sharpshooters are fed bullets, and his marksmanship is so good, you don't think he's talented, right?" Lao Hei sneered and shook his head, "He's not a policeman, it's not like he has been a soldier, he's too young, and he can only retire after serving in the army for at least five years." I can't think of anyone else who has such good marksmanship but the Resistance. ”
"Oh, boss, you mean, he might be a rebel?" Tie Dan's eyes lit up, "Then let's report it to the secret police, shall we?" If you catch a rebel, you will be rewarded with at least 50,000 yuan! ”
"You idiot!" Lao Hei slapped Tie Dan's head again, "50,000 yuan, you can sell a gun, what are you doing at this risk, you are not afraid of the rebels' retaliation?" It's a long life, isn't it? Be honest, don't get into trouble, just ask him to leave early tomorrow morning. Go and close the door. ”
"Oh." Tie Dan walked to the door very depressed and closed the door hard.
"Bang"
………………
Shen Hong stood in front of the anti-theft door, stretched out his right hand with rubber gloves, and touched the door lock along the door frame, and found no traces of forcible destruction.
"Team Shen, we found this under the sofa." The police officer of the Serious Crime Squad handed over a letter and said, "Look, it's Tong Aqi's suicide note, he should have committed suicide." ”
Shen Hong scoffed at the judgment of his subordinates, the doors and windows at the scene were closed, and Tong Aqi lived alone, if he really committed suicide, how could he be discovered and called the police so quickly?
"Keep the evidence and send it to the physical evidence identification room, and you can't cremate the body without my permission." Shen Hong didn't care about the so-called evidence, but the body had to be saved, Ye Nanfeng was in a hurry to kill people to vent his anger, this was his chance to open a breakthrough.
Wait, kill people to vent their anger......
A beautiful face flashed in his mind, Shen Hong suddenly changed color, and hurriedly spread out the half-folded letter paper to check the contents of the "suicide note".
"Team Shen!"
Another police officer in a raincoat hurriedly ran in from outside, without the slightest awareness of protecting the crime scene, and stepped in front of Shen Hong in three steps and two steps, and said hurriedly: "On the outskirts of the city, someone reported the crime at the old site of the park in the southern suburbs, and seven bodies were found at the scene!" Two of the victims had bullet holes in their bodies, and they were involved in the gun case, Shen Team! ”
