Chapter 54 (I) The Man Who Died Twice
"What the hell are you trying to ask?" Duan Hu sat by the lake, took off his shoes and socks, washed his feet with the cold lake water, and washed them very carefully, but Tang Shuxing could see that he was doing this just to hide what was in his heart, and he didn't even raise his head, because he was afraid that Tang Shuxing would see it.
"How did your brother die?" Tang Shuxing asked.
"Don't you know?" Duan Hu glanced at Tang Shuxing, and immediately lowered his head.
"I'm asking you." Tang Shuxing squatted next to him and looked sideways at him.
"I heard, I just heard that in the desert his hands were cut off, bleeding to death, and died in front of his fiancΓ©e." Duan Hu said these words calmly, without the slightest emotion, as if he was talking about someone he didn't know.
Tang Shuxing asked again: "Who did it?" β
"You don't have to worry about the rules of the gang, do you?" Duan Hu looked at him this time, his eyes full of doubts.
"That's your brother." Tang Shuxing felt that Duan Hu was hard-hearted.
Duan Hu sat down and took out a cigarette and lit it: "That's my brother, but he is also the treasurer of the gang, if the treasurer has an accident, it will be a big deal, according to the rules, the whole family will suffer, and I can be regarded as picking up a life and coming back." β
"I don't think so." Tang Shuxing said coldly, "Why do I think this matter is not so simple? β
"What do you mean? Do you doubt me? Duan Hu glared at Tang Shuxing, looking like he was about to be angry.
Tang Shuxing slowly turned his head to look at him, and did not speak, Duan Hu was frightened by Tang Shuxing's eyes, and immediately lowered his head and continued to wash his feet, Duan Hu had been in the gang for many years, and he had never seen that kind of look, it was like he was going to eat himself, it was not human eyes at all, Duan Hu's hands were trembling when he washed his feet.
"The water is cold, don't wash it anymore, let's go." Tang Shuxing got up and patted Duan Hu's shoulder with his hand, Duan Hu was covered in like an electric shock, and then he was stunned. I shuddered.
Tang Shuxing walked for a while, stopped, turned his head to look at Duan Hu's back, Duan Hu suddenly became angry before, which showed that there was a problem here. This guy is a martial artist, a martial idiot, and his brain is not so flexible. There's something strange about this. Tang Shuxing pondered for a long time and knew who to go to to understand the situation, so he immediately went back to the house.
Back in the house, Tang Shuxing saw Qinghua who was eating heavily, and Qinghua saw him and immediately got up. The tears are coming out.
Tang Shuxing motioned for him to sit down: "Eat, come out with me after eating, I have something to say." β
Qinghua didn't eat either, and immediately followed Tang Shuxing and walked out, Wei Lifeng, who was sitting on the side, subconsciously looked at Wei Wei who came out of the house, holding a cup of coffee, and the two looked at each other. and each of them is busy with his own work.
Tang Shuxing and Qinghua sat under the tree, and Qinghua's first words were: "Benefactor, I didn't betray you." β
"I know, when I went to look for you that day, I knew that you were suffering." Tang Shuxing smiled, "You're still very righteous." β
"That's for you." Qinghua bowed her head and said, "You are good to me." Although it hasn't been a long time, I know in my heart that unlike other people, who say that they are brothers, they are actually just using me, so I can't even say anything about you. β
"Thank you. I ask you. Do you know about Weimen Duanlong? It's the treasurer, the one who works with the FBI. Tang Shu asked.
"Yes, everyone knew about it at the time, but I was also strange. For such a big matter, why Weimen didn't pursue it, maybe it was because the police didn't find out anything in the end. Qinghua looked at Tang Shuxing and said.
"Not pursued? What do you mean? Tang Shuxing was shocked.
"Weimen let Duan Long go, and then I heard that Duan Long was protected by the FBI, I don't know where he went, in short, it was a makeover, you should know, the Federal Witness Protection Program, if you want to find it again, unless you try your luck, that kind of file, you can't buy it with money." Qinghua said, and said to herself, "There was one in our family before, and after searching for more than 30 years, we didn't find it, and finally found that this person lives a block away from the old family, which is really amazing." β
Qinghua said that this was a little unnatural, and took several deep breaths.
Tang Shuxing looked at him and asked, "Is there something you dare not say?" β
Qinghua shuddered at this time and said, "Benefactor, let me tell you something, you must not tell anyone else." β
"Good!" Tang Shuxing nodded.
"You swear." Qinghua looked at him, "Because this incident is what I saw with my own eyes, if you say it, I will definitely be killed by the Huaqing Gang." β
"Say it, I'll protect you." Tang Shuxing felt that Qinghua was a little grinding and chirping.
Qinghua looked around and said in a low voice, "Duan Long is dead." β
"I know." Tang Shuxing felt that Qinghua was very strange, "Many people know that he is dead. β
"Huh?" Qinghua was surprised on the contrary, "How can you know?" Few people know about it. β
"A few years after Duan Long escaped, he died in the desert, and someone else cut off his hands." Tang Shuxing took out a cigarette and lit it, but Qinghua stared at him with an incredulous expression, Tang Shuxing took off the cigarette and asked, "What's wrong with you?" How is it like seeing a ghost? β
Qinghua lowered her head, her eyes widened, thinking about something.
Tang Shuxing felt that something was wrong, and pushed him, but he didn't expect this handful to scare Qinghua to the side, and he immediately asked: "What are you hiding from me?" β
Qinghua sat back and thought for a long time before saying, "Benefactor, let me tell you, you must not tell others." β
"Don't grind, talk about it!" Tang Shuxing was a little annoyed.
"Duan Long died a long time ago, not when he died in the desert." Qinghua said with a frown.
"No way. How Duan Long died, his fiancΓ©e told me personally, her fiancΓ©e was right in front of her, I know that look, not acting. Tang Shuxing didn't believe it.
Qinghua clenched her arms: "It's because of this that I'm afraid." β
"You are a foreign race, others should be afraid of you, not that you are afraid of some ghosts or gods." Tang Shuxing looked at Qinghua's appearance and felt ridiculous.
Qinghua looked at him and said: "Benefactor, to a certain extent, aliens are similar to people, we also worship gods, afraid of ghosts and ghosts or something, let me tell you, I saw Duan Long killed with my own eyes." β
Tang Shuxing's cigarette almost fell: "What? β
"In the early years, the Huaqing Gang had its own execution ground, which was in the cemetery, which was originally a suburb, and later built, and became part of the city, but the location of the basement. Or has it become an execution ground, that is the weirdest place, in the early years, the people of the Huaqing Gang invited the master in charge or something, it seems to be called this name, and they are watching the field there. Qinghua said, taking a puff from the cigarette of Tang Shuxing, "That place is very strange. The basement, the entrance is closed, no one knows that the basement has no cement floor, it is all dirt, and it is full of graves, who would have thought that in modern society in New York. Will there be such a place? I also heard from the gangsters of the Chinese gang to find out. β
Tang Shuxing sat up straight and asked, "You talk about it carefully, from the beginning." β
Qinghua nodded vigorously: "I was also a gangster at the earliest, and I received stolen goods to live, just like collecting rags, and after collecting them, I transferred them to the people above to make a little money." But when I received a good thing, I kept it for myself and sold it to other people who were willing to pay a lot of money, but it was very miserable when I was found, and I was beaten violently at the least, and I lost my life at the worst, I can't do it if I don't want to, I remember one time. There was a kid from a Chinese gang named Ah Wei who came to me and gave me a gold watch......"
Qinghua looked at the gold watch, and immediately knew that it was genuine, or it was custom-made by a Swiss manufacturer, and the market price was at least more than 100,000 US dollars, and there were only seven or eight in the entire United States. It's a good thing, and it sells for a lot of money. So I asked the boy how he came here? The kid just asked Qinghua for money, and Qinghua immediately found someone who was willing to bid and gave a high price. I kept the money, and who knew that it wouldn't be long before the kid got sick.
Qinghua didn't know what kind of illness the kid had, went to the hospital to see him, and found that he was discharged, because he thought that maybe he could make another fortune, so he went to the door to find it, who knows after the door......
"The kid lives in an old apartment, and a lot of people have moved to that apartment, and most of them are blacks, homeless people, and the gang people don't want to go there, because a lot of people there are sick, infectious diseases, or whatever. I went for money, I also went, I knocked on the door and no one answered, so I twisted the doorknob and found that the door was unlocked, and I thought that he might still have something good in the house, so I wanted to go and see it, but when I went in, I smelled of mold, and it smelled of earth. Qinghua's face turned blue when she said this, "I walked into the house, stepping on the dirt all over the ground, and the grass, the grass is not hay, I followed the soil all the way towards the only hut inside, I saw Ah Wei sitting on the bed, leaning against the door, watching TV, there was a soap opera in the TV, the light of the TV flashed on his face, he ...... He ......"
Qinghua seemed to have returned to that time, and his eyes were straight and said: "He is all dirt on the surface, layer by layer, and it is wet soil, and it has not dried yet, he stared at the TV, and he didn't look at me, so he asked me, what are you doing?" β
Qinghua looked at Ah Wei's appearance and didn't know what he was doing, because it was too scary and weird.
Qinghua leaned against the door and asked, "Ah Wei, what's wrong with you?" β
Ah Wei sat on the bed and replied mechanically in a deep voice: "I'm sick, skin disease." β
Qinghua sighed and asked again: "Then why don't you go to the hospital?" β
Ah Wei slowly turned his head at this time, and at the same time turned his head, the dirt on his face fell down one by one, and soon half of his face was all dirt down, revealing half of his face full of vertical deep marks! Qinghua was dumbfounded at the time, standing there unable to move, as if Ah Wei didn't have any blood on his face, and someone used a machete to cut it neatly in his face!
Qinghua stood there for a long time, and Ah Wei didn't speak, just looked at him, and the two looked at each other.
Qinghua is a foreign race after all, even if she is timid, she will not run away from the door, calmly talked a few more words, and turned to leave. Walking to the door, he also heard Ah Wei say something like "my face is so itchy" inside, he opened the door and walked a few steps, pulled his legs and ran.
Hearing this, Tang Shuxing looked at Qinghua with suspicion: "I believe there is something strange, but I don't know if what you said is true." β
"Benefactor, you listen to me, this is just the beginning." Qinghua said with a bitter face, "A few days later, I almost forgot about it, I heard that Ah Wei died, and he was cremated that night, I don't know why, there was no funeral, and his family didn't mention him, and then one day, a kid about the same age as Ah Wei came to me and asked me if I sold Ah Wei's gold watch, and I asked him if he still had the goods?" He said no, and said that no matter what the cost, he would get the watch back. I said it was impossible, it had already been sold, and the kid was so desperate that he cried. β
"Crying?" Tang Shuxing frowned and said, "Why? β
Qinghua said in a low voice: "I thought that something was wrong with Ah Wei, and with his appearance, I immediately asked, and after questioning, he said, saying that the watch was taken down from a dead man, and the location was in the underground execution ground of the Huaqing Gang, and then I knew that there was that place!" β
Tang Shuxing nodded: "Then, do you kid want to get rich and force someone to take you there?" β
Qinghua closed her eyes and nodded. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to m.qidian to read. )9
