Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Ghost of the Night
I followed their backs and cut off their eyes twice, and in a moment the two of them walked into the crowd and were out of sight. In my opinion, these two people should have come here to sell the antiques obtained from the tomb robbery, and it was just in time for noon so they had a meal here, and it was not a big deal.
I said my thoughts to Kaoru Mochizuki, who was silent for a while and said, "I don't have the same opinion as you, my feelings tell me that I will see them again in the future." I smiled, neither for nor against, who can say for this kind of thing, but I really feel that Kaoru Mochizuki is a little worried.
Due to the large number of people eating, not only the menu was handed out late, but even the dishes were served, although the hot pot itself did not have any frying and frying. It's easy to wait until the pot boils, and a big meal is not said. After the meal, Kaoru Mochizuki and I walked out of the store and took a taxi back to my house, and no one who had just finished eating would be reluctant to walk right away. After entering the door, Kaoru Mochizuki cleaned up the washing machine on the coffee table, and Yugui and Wolf Zhu had already been put away by her before she went out.
Everything was packed up properly, Kaoru Mochizuki said goodbye to me, and I pretended to stay: "What, let's go, don't sit anymore?" ”
Kaoru Mochizuki smiled and said, "No, or I'll have to sleep on the sofa today." I looked at her back and shook my head with a helpless smile.
After Kaoru Mochizuki left, I watched TV for a while, and saw that there were no good programs, so I took a shower and went to bed directly, because the reason for drinking at night was probably, and I felt particularly sleepy today, and I fell asleep within a few minutes of lying down.
I was asleep, and suddenly someone pushed me, and I opened my eyes and was about to get up, but I found a dagger against my neck, and a voice whispered: "Don't move, as long as you cooperate and it won't hurt you." ”
I was lying on the bed with the dagger and my neck lowered, so naturally I couldn't resist, as long as I obediently obeyed. The dagger moved back and motioned for me to sit up, and I leaned back on the bed, not daring to make a big move, lest I provoke the other man.
"Where's the Wolf Bead?" The man asked.
I was shocked, it was the wolf bead again, it seems that the person who came also understood some information, and knew that the wolf bead was in my hand, but I didn't know anything about the wolf bead at the beginning. I was silent and didn't speak, and the other party was very impatient, and pushed the dagger against my neck again, "Say it quickly, or I'm not welcome." At this moment, a figure flashed in from the outside, and whispered a few words in the ear of the person in front of him. I took the opportunity to squint a few more glances at the figure who had just come in, judging from the height and size, low and fat, it was quite similar to the two tomb robbers I met in the hot pot restaurant when I was eating, at this time the person with the dagger against my neck handed the knife to the short and fat man, got up and went out, through the faint light I saw that this person was the thin man who was at the same table with the short and fat man, and sure enough, Kaoru Mochizuki guessed correctly, we would meet these two people, but I never expected to meet in such a situation.
The thin man went out for a spin, and soon returned to the window, grabbed my neck, and said angrily: "If you don't die, you will be honest." ”
The matter has come to this point, and if I don't react, I'm afraid it will only make the other party reckless, and I squeezed out a few words from my throat, "What wolf beads?" Seeing me speak, the other party's hand loosened slightly, and the thin man said, "Less garlic, where are the two beads you brought out of the tomb?" ”
"What are the beads, are you mistaken?"
The thin man sneered: "Ling Yue, the tomb of the king of Xing'anling, is there something wrong?" ”
It seems that before they acted, they really had enough information, but fortunately, the two wolf beads had been taken away by Kaoru Mochizuki, and now even if I wanted to, I couldn't hand them over. "Oh, I see, I can give you the beads, it's useless for me to keep them anyway."
"Where?" The thin man asked anxiously.
"It's just that it's not in my hands now, if you want it, I'll give it away for free another day." I said to the thin man.
"Don't play tricks on me, another day? Maybe you'll be there another day. The thin man sneered, and at the same time snatched the knife from Humpty Dumpty's hand and put it on my face, "Mr. Ling, if you are not honest again, I don't mind slashing your knife on your face and making you a big flower face." With that, he slashed the dagger lightly across my face, and I felt a chill on my face, and then I felt the hot blood running down my face with the tip of the knife.
"Don't mess around, the wolf beads are indeed not with me now, even if you kill me, you won't be able to get the wolf beads." The outpouring of blood made me wake up completely, and my brain was racing fast, thinking of a way to get out. It's definitely not okay to be tough, there are two people on the other side, and they are armed with weapons, and I am only one person with bare hands, and I can only die ugly in the fight. If you can't do it, then you can only outwit.
"You just want beads, but those things are useless to me, just two beads, why bother to stir up the crowd." I spoke to the skinny man.
The thin man glanced at Humpty Dumpty and slowly withdrew the knife, "Since Wolf Zhu is not with you, where is it?" ”
I smiled and said, "I'm a businessman, you say there's something, where will I put it?" ”
"In the store?" The thin man asked.
"That's right, in my shop." I replied.
The thin man smiled, grabbed my hair, and through the faint light outside the window, I saw the thin man's face hideous. "Don't talk nonsense, we searched through your shop today, and we didn't find half a shadow of the wolf bead, what you are saying now is all false."
I was pulled by my hair, and I was in pain, and I said urgently: "How can you guarantee to turn over the store." "I can't imagine that two people have been to my store during the day, and I haven't been there for a day today, so I don't know about it, but I also know that these two people have turned over the store, and it is impossible to dig three feet into the ground.
Hearing this, the thin man let go of his hand and said, "Where is that jade bead hidden in the store?" ”
I rolled my eyes and said, "Of course good things won't be placed on the surface, count the twentieth floor from the door under the counter, lift the floor, dig a section down, and you can naturally find it." ”
"What you said is true?" The thin man asked suspiciously. 、
"Of course, you also know that this thing was brought out of the tomb, and the way it came from was not right, and I was afraid that it would be found, so I buried it deeply, and I will take it out and sell it later." I'll continue to make it up.
The thin man and the fat man whispered a few words, tucked the dagger into their waists, and instructed Humpty Dumpty, "You keep a good guard here, and I will come when I go." Then he turned his head to look at me, tore off the sheet and twisted it into a rope, tied my hands behind my back, and then went out.
Now that there are only two people left in the room, Humpty Dumpty and I, and no matter what, being able to disperse the enemy is a partial success. The thin man must have gone to my shop, even if it was to drive, it would take more than ten minutes, and at night there were relatively few pedestrians on the road, so it would take ten minutes, so it would take twenty minutes to go back and forth. The counter in the store is very heavy, and it is not easy to move the counter by one person's strength, and it will take about ten minutes to move away, and then it will take ten minutes to pry open the floor, and my store is full of small floors, and the inlay is relatively strong, I am afraid it is more difficult to pry open. Pry open the floor and dig down, which also consumes a certain amount of time, so I have more than an hour to carry out my plan.
The first step was how to untie the sheets I had tied to my hands, and I moved my body slightly while Humpty Dumpty wasn't looking, and I had a habit of always putting the keys next to my pillow before going to bed. Sneak out the key from under the pillow, wrap a relatively sharp key around the keychain, and hold it in your hand. Glancing at Humpty Dumpty, since the thin man left, Humpty Dumpty actually began to nap, no wonder in the middle of the night, if it wasn't for these two people holding me hostage, I should have been asleep.
Holding the key, I began to cut back and forth on the sheets, the fabric of the sheets was not a sturdy fabric, and it didn't take long for me to cut in half of it. At this time, Humpty Dumpty stood up, shook his head, looked at me, turned around and went to the bathroom. After a while, Humpty Dumpty came back and sat back down, and by this time the sheets in my hands had been almost cut by me, and I struggled hard, and the sheets quietly fell off my hands.
Hands freed, the next question is how to deal with Humpty Dumpty in front of him, although Humpty Dumpty is napping, but not asleep, if I act rashly, Humpty Dumpty will definitely wake up immediately and fight back, and this thing has a knife in his hand, I don't have an advantage in the fight.
To take out Humpty Dumpty, I have to wait for a one-shot opportunity. Time passed little by little, and I saw that an hour was almost over, and it was time for the thin man to come back if he dragged it on. I turned my head sideways and saw the table lamp on the bedside table, and I thought about it, the body of the table lamp was glass, and the thickness was half a centimeter, so I had to try it anyway.
I said to the fat man, "Dude, can you give me a drink?" ”
"Stop talking nonsense and be honest." Humpty Dumpty opened his eyes and said impatiently.
"It's not nonsense, it's really uncomfortable to be thirsty. I have cold beer and drinks in the fridge, can you help me get a can of beer. "I'm sure most men have a hard time saying no to cold beer, and this Humpty Dumpty must be among them, and at such times, a cold can of beer will be refreshing and thirst-quenching.
After listening to me, the fat man couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, although the movement was not big, but it was looked at by me. Humpty Dumpty muttered "What a trouble" and got up to head out. The moment he turned around, I picked up the lamp, looked at my head, and smashed it hard, and this time I used all my strength, and with a bang, the lamp smashed into pieces on Humpty Dumpty's head.
As the lamp was smashed, Humpty Dumpty snorted and fell to the ground, I quickly picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground and I held it in my hand, and saw that there was still half a sheet thrown on the ground, and I did the same, twisting it into a rope to tie Humpty Dumpty's hands behind my back. At this moment, with the sound of the door opening outside, the thin man who went to the store to look for wolf beads came back.
