Chapter Twenty-Three: The Old Crutch
Early in the morning, Xu Mao came out of the house and went to the breakfast stall at the corner of the street to eat breakfast as usual.
"Six sons! A bowl of soy milk, two fritters, and a tea egg! Xu Maocai found a vacant seat and sat down, and shouted at the young man who fried fritters next to him.
"Great!" The sixth son agreed, and took what he wanted, "Uncle Cai, eat slowly!" ”
Xu Maocai picked up the bowl and drank the soy milk, took a bite of the fritters and chewed slowly, took the tea eggs and peeled them, and heard someone arguing behind him.
"Why are you touching me?" A woman's panicked voice came.
"I said you're sick, huh? Who touched you? A man said in a huff.
"Are you playing hooligan and saying I'm sick?" The woman replied angrily, but it was obvious that the man didn't care at all.
"I don't look at you like that, but I don't touch it if I look for money, I want to be crazy about men!"
"You ......" The woman's face turned red, and she looked like she was usually honest and wouldn't quarrel.
The man saw that he was energetic again, his hand began to be dishonest, and he reached out and touched the woman's face, "I touched it, I touched it, you said I touched you, don't I feel sorry for you if I don't touch it?" ”
Most of the people next to him were uncles and aunts who came out to buy vegetables early, and an uncle came out to speak, "Young man, forget it, the little girls are about to cry." ”
"Get out of the way, old thing, it's your business!" The man looked like a scoundrel, and the uncle didn't say much, shook his head and sighed and left.
The little girl didn't often come out to buy breakfast, this morning her mother was sick and didn't cook breakfast, she thought about buying some in the morning to deal with it, but she didn't expect to meet this perverted man, when queuing, the man's hand was not honest, shaking his body, as if inadvertently rubbing on her buttocks.
The man saw that the people next to him were all watching the excitement, and no one dared to come over to meddle in matters anymore, so he became even more arrogant, so he simply grabbed the arm of the woman who wanted to leave at once, "What? Do you want to leave after wronging? As he spoke, he grabbed the woman's hand and touched it back and forth twice on the arm.
The girl's face flushed with anger, and she shook him off fiercely, "What are you doing?" ”
"What do you say?" The man leaned over, "Find a place to talk and go!" After speaking, he pulled the woman out.
Xu Maocai didn't plan to take care of it, but when he saw that the man was getting more and more disagreeable, he stretched his waist, threw the remaining half of the fritters into the soy milk, stood up and walked over.
Xu Maocai grabbed the man's neck, "It's really old, now any mouse dares to bare his teeth in front of me!" ”
The man was grabbed by the neck violently, and immediately became angry, "Who the are you?" Hurry up and let go of Lao Tzu, or beware that I will find someone to remove your arm! ”
"Yo-he!" Xu Mao was happy and twisted the man's head, "It's kind!" I'm waiting, haven't heard of anyone who dares to unload my arm in this piece? Call me and let me see it! ”
The man's head turned around, and at a glance he saw the man in his forties in front of him, his face was full of cruelty, and the flower arm tattoo on the wrist exposed by the sleeve was obviously exposed, and he was stunned at once.
"You, you, you ......" The man's panicked appearance made Xu Maocai sneer.
"That's all you dare, and you still come out to play hooligan?" Xu Maocai was happy, "Hurry up and apologize to Lao Tzu and others!" Xu Maocai pushed the man forward, the man didn't eat the loss in front of him and nodded to the woman and apologized, the woman thanked Xu Maocai gratefully, and left quickly early.
"Tell you kid!" Xu Maocai pointed to the man with a sneer on his face, and then drew a circle to the side, "This piece, if I see or hear you do anything immoral again, I will make your mother not recognize you at that time!" You know? ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare anymore!" The man nodded vigorously and laughed.
"Get out of here!" Xu Maocai said, the man slowly stepped back while laughing, and then ran away.
An aunt said to Xu Maocai: "Uncle Hecai, you can still hold it, this kid has let me meet several times, it's not a thing!" ”
"That's it, you're still good!" The man next to him chimed in.
After a few polite words with the people around him, Xu Maocai walked all the way back, and from time to time someone greeted Xu Maocai, Xu Maocai also helped a neighbor old lady carry a bag of rice, and helped an old man carry a basket of cabbage.
The stall is more than 100 meters away from home early, although Xu Maocai is the same as usual, but today he always feels a little cold on his body, and there are still a few days before the New Year, and there is nothing to buy at home, even if it is the New Year, he will cook bags of quick-frozen dumplings, drink two glasses of wine, the refrigerator is often empty, and occasionally something is leftovers left the day before.
The temperature is not high, and he wears a lot, but Xu Maocai just feels cold, and he planned to go to those few people who play mahjong after eating early, but he suddenly felt inexplicable palpitations in his heart, which made him very uneasy.
Back at home, Xu Maocai stayed in the bedroom for a long time, listening to the movement as if he was turning over something.
Someone called him outside, "Brother Cai, phone!" ”
It is the owner of the store at the door of the house, a man who is about the same age as Xu Maocai, Xu Maocai does not have a mobile phone, he has never used it, someone persuaded him to buy one, Xu Maocai said: "That thing is very expensive, it's a pity to lose it, someone is looking for the same phone number as the store." ”
The phone call was from a card friend, and told him that there was a leg that had something to do during the day, and went to his house to play at night, and asked him to wait at home.
At noon, Xu Maocai took a bite indiscriminately, sat in the room in a daze, and the palpitations and uneasiness for no reason made Xu Maocai uneasy, and he couldn't remember how many years he hadn't felt like this.
In the afternoon, Xu Maocai went out for a walk, basked in the sun, and chatted with his neighbors, thinking that the feeling would be because the Chinese New Year is spent alone every year, but no, until more than eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Maocai did not eat, and when someone knocked on the door, Xu Maocai's heart suddenly jumped wildly.
Xu Maocai opened the door, there were four people standing outside the door, and when he saw the people coming, he calmed down, and saw that the neighbor who came back from the door said casually: "Coming back?" A few friends came over to play cards! ”
The four of them entered the house, and the head was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a big back combed, a slightly chubby body, looking dressed like an ordinary person, but his eyes were cold and full of murderous aura.
"Brother Leopard!" Xu Maocai shouted.
"You're really still alive, they all say that you died that night, I'm still sad for a long time, if you are caught, I will try my best to get you out, but if you die, I can't do anything." Brother Leopard sat on the sofa casually and pointed to the side, "Sit!" Xu Maocai sat down next to the man.
The other three people slowly shook around the inside and outside of the room, and Xu Mao didn't care, just stared at the leopard brother in front of him.
"For so many years, I have always told people that Lao Gui is the best subordinate and the best brother I have ever met, how many years have I been? It's been almost ten years since we met! Brother Leopard looked at the ceiling with nostalgia, the other three moved the coffee table in front of the sofa to the side, the chair was also dragged to the side, the two sat down, and a lame man walked up to Xu Maocai and stood behind.
"How good it was at that time, I really regarded you as a brother, and everyone thought so, I don't trust anyone except you, hahaha......" Brother Leopard suddenly laughed as he spoke, and tears flowed out of his eyes at the end, he covered his stomach and shook his hand, "I can't mention it, I can't mention it, I think I'm like a joke when I mention it, haha......"
Xu Maocai still didn't speak.
Brother Leopard finally finished laughing, and suddenly sighed, "But, it was you, my most trusted brother, who stabbed me in the back, old crutch!" You might as well just kill me! ”
Lao Guan was a little moved, but soon regained his calmness, not only was his appearance calm, but even his eyes did not fluctuate at all, and the calmness made Brother Leopard suddenly angry.
"You say! What exactly are you for? What benefits did the police give you? Can it compare to what I gave you? Yes? What exactly do you say you're for? ”
Xu Maocai sighed, "Because ......" He looked at Brother Leopard, "I'm a policeman!" ”
Brother Leopard was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, he stood up and said to the three people he brought, "Did you hear that?" He said he was a cop, he said he was a cop! When I fucking heard that you were a cop, I didn't believe it. They didn't believe it either, but when they heard you tell me in person that you were a policeman, you ......" Brother Leopard pointed at Xu Mao for a long time before saying, "Hehe...... Do it! ”
The lame man standing behind Xu Maocai suddenly put a thin rope around Xu Maocai's neck and pulled him back suddenly, Xu Maocai subconsciously reached out and grabbed behind him, but the two people next to him immediately pounced and subdued Xu Maocai in an instant.
It only took a few knives for Xu Maocai to lie on the ground and couldn't move, the lame man was holding a scalpel in his hand and licking the blood on it with his tongue.
"Take it easy, don't let him die too happily! I haven't finished speaking! Brother Leopard sat back down on the couch.
The cripple laughed and squatted down, Brother Leopard began to count from knowing the old crutch until they were taken by the police and thought that the old crutch was dead, every time he said something, the lame man used a scalpel to slowly enjoy cutting a knife on Xu Maocai's body, very slowly, very slowly, the depth was well grasped, only to the dermis with the richest pain nerves. 、
When the first knife went down, Xu Mao couldn't help but scream, and then his pale mouth was clenched, and occasionally his teeth could be heard, Brother Leopard looked at it with a smile and continued.
Xu Mao only knew this cripple, he was a doctor, he had been following the leopard, as long as someone betrayed, whether he caught an enemy or went undercover, he would eventually be handed over to this cripple.
He has seen a few cripples torturing people, among which there is an undercover agent who accidentally exposed his identity, that person is an undercover Xu Maocai didn't know, he was a peripheral horse boy, but when he was tied to Brother Leopard, he knew, but he couldn't do anything, he had been with Brother Leopard for three years, and it was not easy to climb to this position, he could only watch the cripple slowly torture people to death little by little, and then the whole person was excited as if he had just knocked over the medicine to find a chicken.
From that time on, Xu Mao became more cautious, and finally figured out the context and main evidence of the entire drug trafficking group, that is, at that time, the police began to act, and that time, he "died" in order to cover Brother Leopard......
Xu Maocai felt that his head was starting to faint, and all the senses in his body were only pain, and even Brother Leopard's babbling could not really be heard.
In the end, Xu Maocai seemed to see himself wearing a police uniform on the first day, and then he never wore it again, and Xu Maocai's pupils gradually dilated......
