Chapter Twenty-Three: Dancing at the Tip of the Knife
Mu Qingcheng and Karina are both poor, although they are dressed quite smoothly, they can't take out a few pieces of green paper in their pockets, and they don't eat hormone food, so the lunch between the two is very simple, Karina has two egg scones, and Mu Qingcheng has three.
In the afternoon, it was another three-hour Renaissance sculpture class, this time Karina didn't feel difficult, although Mu Qingcheng's class was a class, and he didn't say a word to her, but Torres's death was equivalent to removing a big stone that was pressing on her heart, and she could feel the sense of security sitting next to Mu Qingcheng with her heart, as well as the feeling of being there.
From time to time, after a class passed, and the time was in the evening, the two left the school together, and were about to get off the subway, but two black suits stopped them.
Unlike the previous FBI agents, these two people have fierce expressions, strong bodies, thick knuckles, slightly tense muscles when walking, and they look like they will burst into a counterattack at any time.
"Two, our boss is invited, right in the car in front!" said a black suit in a stiff tone.
Mu Qingcheng looked at a black extended Lincoln parked at the school gate and asked, "Who are you?"
The black suit said: "You naturally know when you see it." ”
"Sneaky, don't even dare to report your name, let's go!" Karina also knew that trouble was coming, and pulled Qin Ling to leave, when another black suit stretched out his arm to stop him, and said coldly: "Two, don't toast and don't eat and drink, this time, the boss is sincerely invited, next time, you can't say." “
"This ......"
Karina looked at Mu Qingcheng, who was her backbone.
Mu Qingcheng's heart moved, and he asked again: "Something to do with Torres?"
The two black suits didn't answer, but their eyes shrank, Mu Qingcheng counted, so he pinched Karina's palm and said, "Let's go, take us to meet your boss." “
The two led the way, Lincoln's door slowly opened, and Mu Qingcheng and Karina got into the car.
The cabin is spacious and bright, separated from the cab in front, along the wall is a circle of leather sofas, refrigerators, TVs and all kinds of modern equipment, some important parts are also wrapped in gold, showing a good net worth.
There were two people sitting on the sofa, both in their forties, burly, typical Spanish physiognomy features, and the person sitting in the middle of the sofa was dressed in casual clothes, holding a thick cigar between his fingers, half-squinting, as if he was blind to Mu Qingcheng and Karina.
The man on the side was wearing a dark blue suit, looking at Mu Qingcheng and Karina with a cold gaze, and only after a while, "Sit!"
Mu Qingcheng pulled Karina and sat opposite.
The blue suit turned his neck and gestured slightly: "This is a good friend of Torres's father and the executive president of the Mexican Association of New York, you can call him Mr. Eswal." “
Mu Qingcheng nodded and said, "Mr. Eswal, why are you looking for us?"
Esval spat out a smoke ring and asked, "Did you kill Torres?"
"No!" Mu Qingcheng denied.
He knew that this kind of bigwig would not believe the police's appraisal conclusions at all, and it was impossible for him to be fooled by his rhetoric, so it was useless to say more, and the more he said, the more suspicious he became.
"Huh?" Sure enough, a look of surprise flashed in Esval's eyes, and he said: "How daring, I'll give you a word of explanation, if you can't convince me, then from today onwards, you and your little girlfriend are the enemies of our New York Mexican Association, and we will use the most cruel means to retaliate against you." “
Karina's face turned pale with anger, and she couldn't bear it: "Can you be reasonable? Torres obviously died of an ecstasy overdose, and the police's appraisal conclusion is clear, what do you want?"
Eswal said lightly: "I don't care about women, this sentence can not be counted, but it is not an example!"
"You ......" Karina was about to say more, Mu Qingcheng had already taken her hand, signaled calm, and then said: "At noon, the FBI people came to us and promised to protect us. “
Karina looked at Mu Qingcheng puzzled, she didn't understand, what did she mean by saying this.
Eswal's eyes shrank suddenly, a faint light flickered, and he looked at Mu Qingcheng, sometimes fierce, sometimes hesitant, and with some inquiry.
After a long while, Esvar said, "You should know the consequences of deceiving me. ”
Mu Qingcheng smiled slightly: "Of course I know, and I don't think that Mr. Eswal will reveal this news." “
"You're a character, but alas, you shouldn't have killed Torres!" Esval shook his head politely, waving his hand.
"Farewell!"
Mu Qingcheng pulled Karina out of the car.
Although Mu Qingcheng tried his best to keep his pace smooth, his back was completely soaked, Karina noticed Mu Qingcheng's abnormality and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Mu Qingcheng said: "Just now we have taken a turn around the ghost gate, if it is not for the banner of the FBI, I am afraid that the only way out is for you to escape back to Huaxia with me overnight, but your parents, including all those who have a relationship with me, will be retaliated against." “
Karina understood as soon as she thought about it, and hurriedly said: "It's really like this, the Mexican drug lord is ruthless and can do everything, it's just ...... If you expose your relationship with the FBI, will it have any adverse effect on subsequent actions?"
Mu Qingcheng glanced at Karina with monster-like eyes, and said: "You are really a kind girl, the FBI fished us, it was made clear that it didn't care about our life or death, and even in order to cover up the truth, he would kill us and kill us, since he is unkind, then I am also unjust, don't teach him to let some blood, how can I do it?" Karina, this matter seems very simple, but it is our life and death crisis, you must fully trust me, you know?"
"Well, you made a promise to me, and I accepted it, I should trust you with all my heart, and I will ...... I'll leave myself to you for the time being. As she spoke, Karina suddenly blushed and changed her words.
"Let's go, I'll take you home. Mu Qingcheng took Karina's hand and disappeared at the entrance of the subway station.
In Lincoln's car, the blue suit slowly retracted his gaze and asked, "Boss, why did you let them go?" I'm sure Torres was killed by that Chinese kid named Mu Qingcheng, you should kill him, give Torres's father an explanation, that chick can also be brought over, and give the brothers a happy life. ”
Eswal waved his hand and said, "Didn't you hear the message that kid conveyed? The FBI has already set its sights on him, and whoever moves him will be noticed by the FBI." “
"Is this the end of it?" said the blue suit again.
"No, of course not!" Eswal took a sharp puff on his cigar, exhaled slowly, and said, "That kid is a talent, and there is another meaning hidden in his words, the FBI intends to fish with him and fish out the big man behind us." “
"Why would he do that, and he's not afraid that the F.B.I. will retaliate against him in the future?" the blue suit continued.
Eswal sighed and said: "That's why I said, that kid is a talent, the FBI has never been a symbol of justice, he was afraid of being killed by the FBI, and deliberately revealed the news to me, he wanted to muddy the water and use the opportunity of the battle between us to save his life, don't you think, this game is very interesting?"
On one side is the pretentious FBI, on the other side is a dark creature like us, and on the other side, there is that Chinese kid, who is dancing on the tip of a knife, and if he is not careful, he will fall to pieces!"
"Seems yes, so what are we going to do?" the blue suit nodded.
"I'll talk to Mr. Gonzalez first!" Eswal pulled out his cell phone and dialed.
