Chapter 22: The Traitor
"Since you understand, I won't talk nonsense."
"No, there's one more thing I don't understand." Huo Zuo interrupted him, "Third uncle, I just want to ask, is it the same reason for Huo Congyi to die and me to die?" ”
"It's all death anyway, is the reason just as important?"
"At least it's important to me."
"Then what do you think Huo Congyi died for?"
"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden. Moreover, Old Man Qin doesn't need bloody deeds now, Huo Congyi is abolished, and he should die. ”
"What, then, is there difference between you and him? Your father and son are a little too similar - too greedy and arrogant, no wonder they will die. ”
Zhou Wei looked indifferent, and seemed to have no intention of continuing the topic at all. Huo Zuo suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, as if he had heard some interesting joke.
"What's the difference? Hahahaha...... Third uncle, third uncle, you ask me what is the difference. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, put away his smile and said, "Did Qin Shengzhu even hide it from you, or did you follow him and take it as a fake, really fake?" ”
Zhou Wei had already drawn his knife at this moment. Huo Zuo didn't react to this, and still sat on the bed and scolded him: "Third uncle, I can understand that you hate me, but your eldest brother? He didn't mess with you, he gave you everything you have today. What about you? Is it really good for you to follow Qin Shengzhu like a dog and beg for mercy? ”
Zhou Wei's knife had stabbed straight at the door in front of him, and Huo turned left and right to dodge: "Do you do less dirty things for him than us?" If you can kill me and Huo Congyi today, you can kill you tomorrow. Oh, but it's also - my death is not the same as Huo Congyi's death. This lie is actually believed by you to this day, Qin Shengzhu has a good calculation! ”
"Huo Zuo, what nonsense are you talking to me about when you are about to die!"
"It's a pity it's not nonsense. I tell you why your master has tried to kill me again and again! "Another blow. Huo Zuo kicked Zhou Wei's wrist open, and slammed a punch on his mandible when he changed hands to hold the knife, "Because I've been a shame to him all my life, a bastard he never wants to see again." As long as I live, he can't tolerate it, can't see it, and can't just breathe a sigh of relief if he has to kill him! Because as long as I lived, I reminded him——! ”
Huo Zuo stepped back, forced to the wall by the sharp knife. It is clear that he has fallen into a complete passive stalemate, but his tone is becoming more and more resolute.
"He, Qin Shengzhu, was just a long three prostitutes with fireworks on his back, and the three little ones who were out of the game!"
The gunfire rang out suddenly—the blood hole opened on Zhou Wei's wrist.
Bullets flew from under the table in the room. There was still unextinguished smoke from the muzzle of the gun. Shen Yigong crawled out from under the table holding the gun that Ma Weisan had given him, frowning between his eyebrows. Every time he shot or moved, there was always a deep flash in his eyes.
Huo Zuo had already snatched the dagger from Zhou Wei's hand at this moment, pressed his knee against his chest, and firmly grabbed his throat.
His tone gradually became excited, and his eyes were subtly red: "He wanted to kill me for a long time, right?" It's a pity that my life is too hard, and I can survive once or twice. In a fire more than ten years ago, he thought he could burn all the people he didn't want to see in his life, but unfortunately he didn't. Later, he called for a boy under the age of eight to be beaten, thinking that he would die there, but unfortunately he didn't! Tiger poison doesn't eat children, he Qin Shengzhu is more ruthless than beasts. ”
"You ......"
"But I also want to thank him for what he did to a child, so that child has a chance to meet the best killer around him."
Zhou Wei grinned, blood kept pouring out of the wound, and the knife in Huo's left hand was getting tighter and tighter in his throat. He looked at the young man's angry eyes—there was still a bit of resemblance to his master between his eyebrows and eyes.
Huo Zuo is not Huo Congyi's son, never has been.
Zhou Wei's eyes wavered, looking at him with a fierce look, and finally spoke: "Do you think that without the master's approval, the eldest brother can adopt you?" ”
But Huo Zuo just laughed: "Use it for anyone." It's better to use your own dog.
“…… I should have told my eldest brother that the most wrong thing he ever did in his life was to adopt you. ”
"Then you're wrong." Huo Zuo pressed down, the knife had already cut the skin of the old killer, "The most wrong thing that Old Huo did was to believe in that surnamed Qin too much from beginning to end." ”
Huo Zuo let out a sigh of relief from his body, turned his head sideways and laughed as relieved.
"But it's fine for now." He said, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves. Qin Shengzhu's life should also come to an end. ”
With a shake of his hand, the knife flashed, but he saw Zhou Wei exert his force violently, hit his head, wrap the blade with the old flesh of his palm, the smell of blood spread, and the blood water stained the uniform red along his arm. Zhou Wei broke the blade and went straight to Huo's left throat, and seeing that it was about to approach, the gunfire rang out again.
The bullet pierced Zhou Wei's head, and the corpse collapsed forward. Huo Zuo stood up with the knife in his hand, his blood-stained hand gently wiped his lips, glanced at Zhou Wei's completely immobile body, and turned his head to look at Shen Yigong, who was still holding the gun with both hands with his arms straight.
The big boy gasped, this was not the first time he had shot, Huo Zuo felt a wonderful pleasure for the perseverance in his eyes. He beckoned to him, "Come here." ”
He chewed on the pleasure. I secretly rejoiced in my heart, but I also thought carefully, what did all this start with? The metamorphosis of a boy? The compassion he gradually let go of for himself? The gore and fighting that you are used to for yourself? What did he do—he dragged a boy born for revenge little by little into hell, into this selfish mania, into the darkness that never dawned. Every time he looked at his clear and resolute eyes, the desire in his heart to break his wings with his own hands became stronger and stronger. He wanted to see the little wolf with its limbs cut off and crawling through the plasma like his own snake.
He liked to see how he wavered when he killed, and the pain of having to kill after shooting himself.
Yes, pain.
When he beckoned, Shen Yigong subconsciously handed him the gun, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the other party grabbed his wrist. After hesitating, Huo Zuo had already bit him on the lip violently and hard. He shoved the bloodstained dagger into his hand. The smell of blood spread in the mouths of the two men. Shen Yigong stiffened his back slightly, and he was at a loss, only remembering to hold the knife and gun in his hand.
He heard the man whisper in his ear, "I gave you three chances to go, but you didn't go." Now that you've run out of opportunities, you can't go at all. ”
Between the eye touch, Shen Yigong asked tentatively: "What if I want to leave?" ”
"Then I'll kill you. Like I killed someone else. When his lips parted, Huo Zuo gently raised his eyes and swept Shen Yigong's expression, his thumb was about to wipe his lips, but he hugged him hard, jerky and ferocious, coveting the blood between his lips. Between breathing, the young man said over and over again, "I'm not leaving." Never go. I'm not afraid that you'll kill me when I leave, and I'm not afraid to kill me even if I stay with you. ”
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid."
That night, a fire broke out in the detention center of the patrol room of the French Concession, and a charred corpse was found in the room where Huo Zuo was kept. This is the end of the matter. Another notice was issued, saying that Qin Shengzhu was the mastermind behind it, and the army was dispatched that night to pull the old man up from the bed, so frightened that his wife fainted that night.
Everyone knows that a few days ago, Wu Qiuwei had a good relationship with the deceased Huo Zuo, and he became the object of suspicion for a while, and called a group of plainclothes to monitor and control - the old man Wu's original property was almost squandered in his hands, and as soon as this incident came out, the Wu family was completely disappointed in him, the heir who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and would rather choose his eldest sister and the brother-in-law with the surname of the foreign surname than support him.
Ma Weisan was out of the limelight because of this big case, first arresting the gangsters who did wrongdoing, and then returning all the robbed cigarette paste. He stood on the steps of the central fishing room and took a photo with the director of the French Concession Public Board of Directors for three days in the "Shenjiang Daily", and for a time became a hot figure in the Shanghai military and political circles.
It's really an eventful time, on the other hand, Qin Shengzhu, in the end, let him settle the matter of imprisonment with money, but it's a pity that the ruthless people around him, Huo Zuo is dead, Zhou Wei is missing, this modified gangster who eats fasting and recites Buddha was released from prison with gray temples and a difficult road. The tabloid reporters took a photo of him walking on his way home when he went home, and sent a report saying that Qin Shengzhu ran out of oil and dried up, and his life was short. Angry, Qin Shengzhu saw the news at home, and ordered his subordinates to rush into the newspaper office and beat up the person who wrote the article. Who would have thought, another tabloid newspaper said that Qin Shengzhu was poked at the fact and became angry!
For a while, everything was ridiculed, and the people who read the newspaper really thought that Qin Shengzhu was going to die. Even if they don't die—they won't survive this winter. But that's all the thoughts of the ordinary people who don't know it, and they even really think that Ma Weisan is a great hero!
"Look, look! Inspector Ma, listen to this sentence, 'Inspector Ma of the French Concession is wise and powerful, and his weapons are extraordinary, and he has this superior person to manage public security, and if he does not close his door at night and does not leave the road behind, he can look forward to it as soon as possible! 'Hahaha, Inspector Ma, you are really extraordinary! ”
The dance hall that opened the home and outside the big world was still open, and the white foreign female dancers in short skirts were spinning and writhing on the dance floor. On the resplendent stage, You Yiman sat in the booth with the best view on the second floor, holding a newspaper of the day in his hand, and laughed heartily. She was wearing a high-forked cheongsam with a golden glitter today, and her silk garment belt could be seen with a slight movement. Sexy and charming, with a three-point temperament.
On her left and right, on one side is Ma Weisan, the "Justice Detective" in the French Concession, and on the other side is Huo Zuo, the "real gangster" who should have died in prison a long time ago.
Ma Weisan had a cigar in his mouth, laughed when he heard this, and reached over You Yiman to pat Huo's left shoulder: "Don't laugh at me anymore." I am really thanks to Brother Huo's advice today, and I played this 'Dark Chen Cang'! ”
Huo Zuo pursed his lips and smiled, his tone and posture were neither out of bounds nor too modest: "Then there must be a wonderful performance of you, the protagonist, and it must be properly cooperated." Otherwise, how can we sing this play? ”
