Chapter 8: The Seller of Intelligence

The officer swallowed and stood motionless.

Tie Peiwen pointed to the door of the outpost: "In the end, you stood at the door of the outpost, raised your gun and pretended to find the man in black, shot and called for help, and after the soldiers in the outpost rushed out, you made up a set of stupid and outrageous lies!" ”

The officer was completely stupid, peeking at Tie Peiwen, who seemed to be standing on the scene and witnessing everything.

Tie Peiwen shook his head and said, "Even if I don't have to look at your reaction, I know that the speculation just now is all correct." ”

The officer was silent, standing stiff.

When Tie Peiwen walked past him, he suddenly stopped and looked at his face: "Your surname?" What is it called? How old is it? ”

The officer replied, "My name is Xie Wuding, and I am twenty-four years old. ”

Tie Peiwen pointed to the left corner of Xie Wuding's forehead with a fan: "Men look left, women look right, twenty-four years look at the middle of the sky, Xie Wuding, your luck this year is good, you can't die, ask for more blessings." ”

After Tie Peiwen finished speaking, he walked into the distance, leaving Xie Wuding alone to stand there shivering in the cold sea breeze.

Tie Peiwen walked up to his orderly and whispered, "It seems that arranging for that dead cripple to leave information is indeed a good move, but if those prison robbers find out that there is a problem with the information, they will definitely go to the lame man." ”

After saying that, Tie Peiwen raised his eyes and looked at the orderly: "Send a report to Yongcheng and make the cripple dumb!" ”

It was already five days before Tang Anshu and the three returned to Yongcheng.

For the first three days, all three of them floated on the sea against planks, and it was not until the fourth day that they came across a passing fishing boat and saved their lives.

The three of them couldn't figure out why the small boat hidden in the reef group in advance had been dug into a few big holes. Could it be that the people of the prison had already found out that they were going to land on the island? If that is the case, why didn't the patrol in the prison raise the alarm?

"It's still good in Yongcheng, there are food, drink, and women." Liu Luoqu was lying on the sundeck on the top floor of the inn, holding the sauce pig's trotters in one hand and the wine bottle in the other, his face was full of satisfaction.

Wu Sihe sat on a belly stool in the distance, looking into the distance, and his eyes fell on the market not far away, he was very worried that because of the failure of the first mission, the muzzle of his employer's gun would be pointed at him from somewhere.

Finally, Wu Sihe turned his head and asked, "Senior Brother Liu, where did Anshu go?" ”

Liu Luoqu took a bite of the pig's trotters: "Go and track down the source of the intelligence." ”

Wu Sihe frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Luoqu moved his body and got up, looking at Wu Sihe: "The information provided to us last time was wrong, and An Shu thought that we had fallen into the trap, so he went to investigate." ”

Wu Sihe didn't understand too much, shook his head slightly, and said, "How come?" The information was found by the employer, and I have verified it, what does he mean? ”

Liu Luoqu said with a smile: "Senior Brother Wu, you think too much, An Shu just wants to find out what's going on, and then go back to the prison to rescue people, and put this matter over, there is no intention to target you." ”

Wu Sihe took a deep breath, raised his eyes and continued to look into the distance, his heart was in a mess.

In a tavern in Xingang, east of Yongcheng, Tang Anshu found the cripple who provided them with information about the prison.

At this time, the lame man was sitting at a square table in the middle, talking mysteriously with a man with a very proud expression.

Tang Anshu went to the counter to buy two corners of wine, as well as two plates of side dishes with wine, and sat in the corner and quietly observed.

The cripple was dressed like last time, wearing a thin coat with a pair of tattered shorts dangling underneath, a pair of open-toed cloth shoes on his feet, his hair coiled up, and a small braid at the back, which was instantly recognizable.

Then look at the man sitting across from him, dressed in a long gown, with a top hat on the side of the table, and a silver trim on one side of the top hat. Tang Anshu recognized that it was the sign of the "Dawn Newspaper Hall" in Yongcheng, and the reason why there was such a sign was because this newspaper office had often been attacked in the past for reporting some unpleasant news.

Later, the owner of the newspaper was furious and sold the newspaper to the largest gang of crabs in Yongcheng at a low price, on the condition that they would never report any negative news about the crab gang in the future, and they would also find a way to find out the news that the crab gang was interested in.

Since then, the Crab Gang has become the owner of the Dawn Newspaper Museum, and ordinary people no longer dare to provoke it.

After chatting with the lame man for nearly an hour, the newspaper reporter took out five oceans and put them on the table, took out a top hat and put it on, and left directly.

Tang Anshu immediately left through the back door, climbed up the stairs next to him to the roof, watched the reporter walk towards the shack area in the distance, and then jumped off and walked quickly to the shack area from the other side.

Just when the reporter went deep into the shack area and whispered something to himself while walking, he was stopped by Tang Anshu, who was already waiting there.

The reporter was startled and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Tang Anshu knew that the reason why the reporter was so confident was entirely because of the protection of the Crab Gang, so he hugged his fists and said: "I'm just here to repay the favors of your newspaper." ”

The reporter was surprised: "Favor? ”

Tang Anshu said unhurriedly: "I saw Mr. chatting with the lame man in the tavern before, and I didn't dare to go up and disturb him, because it was not in accordance with the rules, and Mr. wouldn't believe me at that time, so I could only wait for Mr. to leave." ”

The reporter looked Tang Anshu up and down: "What do you want to do?" Are you stalking me? ”

Tang Anshu said again: "If I guessed correctly, the lame man sold to Mr. for five yuan is the news of the prison. ”

The reporter was stunned for a moment, and Tang Anshu saw from his reaction that he was right, so he said: "Presumably, Mr. heard about this lame man from other people, because it is rumored that many people have bought the news of this lame man's prison." ”

The reporter calmed down: "What do you want to say?" ”

Tang Anshu shook his head: "I just want to remind Mr. that the cripple is a liar, that's all." ”

When the reporter was stunned, Tang Anshu had already walked into the alley next to him, and when the reporter chased in, Tang Anshu was nowhere to be seen.

Tang Anshu, who was standing at the end of the roof of the shed next to him, looked at the reporter who was looking for him, and knew that he was right, and he also knew that although the information sold by the cripple was fake, there must be other things behind it, and it was 100% directly related to the prison.

In the evening, when night was about to fall, the lame man finally returned to his dwelling, which was a canopy that could only lie down five people horizontally, and this kind of river boat that could not go down to the sea was very conspicuous here, and it was one of the reasons why those who bought information were able to find the lame man accurately.

The masked Tang Anshu stood on the mast of a fishing boat, holding a Hanyang-made made product that had just been bought from the black market, staring at the lame canopy, and in the bottom bilge of the fishing boat, the fishermen's family was locked inside, but no one made a sound, but waited quietly, waiting for the sound of the lock that Tang Anshu said.

Because they had five oceans in their hands, and Tang Anshu promised to keep them safe, and they had no choice, they had to hide in the bilge and wait.

There was finally light in the lame pengzhou, and Tang Anshu was also relieved, if there was no light, he could only choose to venture close to the pengzhou, and the Hanyangzao in his hand would no longer have any effect.

How long will it take? Is it tonight or tomorrow night? If the killer doesn't arrive tonight, then he must ask Liu Luoqu for help during the day tomorrow.

Finally, there were ripples in the sea next to the boat, and then two heads emerged from the water and slowly approached the boat, climbing up from the bow and stern respectively.

Through the faint light, Tang Anshu saw that both of them had pulled something out of their waists, there was no doubt that it was something like a dagger.

"When I finally arrived, I thought you weren't coming." Tang Anshu held a gun and aimed at the man at the stern, "Go in, let the lame man see you, if I don't see you, how can I shoot." ”

At the moment when the killer at the stern of the boat opened the curtain and rushed in, Tang Anshu adjusted the muzzle of the gun slightly, aimed at the body of the killer who had entered the canopy and pulled the trigger, and after a shot, he immediately moved the muzzle of the gun to the left, aiming at the other killer who was standing at the bow of the boat and was stunned when he heard the gunshot.

Two gunshots rang out, two killers were shot and fell into the sea, and the lame man also ran out of the canopy in panic, jumped ashore with great difficulty, and limped towards the shack area of Newport.

Tang Anshu grabbed the rope and slid down, and before landing, he shot and broke the iron lock on the bottom bilge, and then threw the spear into the sea and jumped towards another fishing boat.

After a few jumps, Tang Anshu landed firmly on the beach, pulling his legs to chase the cripple who had disappeared into the darkness.

After Tang Anshu ran away, the owner of the fishing boat carefully lifted the lid and looked around, but except for the other fishing boat owners who were as panicked as him and didn't know what was happening, he didn't see the masked gunman before.

What just happened?

The owner of the fishing boat squeezed the ocean in his hand, turned to his family and said, "Remember, nothing happened just now!" ”

An hour later, the cripple finally ran to the dilapidated building on the south side of the shantytown, and he cowered in a corner, looked around, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the movementβ€”except for the quarrel of the husband and wife in the distant house, the crying of the children, and the sound of drinking and fists, there was no footsteps of the Grim Reaper that he feared.

The lame man leaned against the wall and gasped, stood up against the wall, broke a brick on the wall, took the key from the inside, opened the door of the broken building, and after entering, he carefully looked left and right, and then closed the door, put the latch on, and put a broken porcelain pot placed next to it at the door, so that even if someone picked the latch from the outside, he would knock down the porcelain pot when he pushed the door in.

After the lame man had done everything, he turned around and saw a dark figure sitting on the Taishi chair on the side of the offering table in the main hall.

There was no doubt that it was a person, the cripple was frightened, and he turned around to pick up the latch and escape, but as soon as he picked up the latch, the man fell directly from the Taishi's chair and lay motionless on the ground.

The cripple was stupid, and at the moment when his brain had not yet begun to turn, another black shadow fell from the stairs and smashed directly next to his feet, so frightened that the cripple collapsed directly to the ground, almost peeing his pants.

"And another, on the roof, he was the first to die." Tang Anshu's voice echoed in the broken building.

The lame man was so frightened that he stood up against the wall, and looked left and right, not knowing who it was.
