500. Redress of grievances
"Brother."
Xian Gu and Xiao Zhang sat in the dilapidated corridor of the guest house, quietly waiting for the next incident to come, during which the two began to chat.
"Huh? What's wrong? β
Brother Zhang turned his head to look at the fairy girl, and the fairy girl pondered for a while before continuing to speak: "I asked my mother and my grandmother before, saying that the people in our line of work, whether it is their responsibility to kill demons and eliminate demons or to support justice as their own responsibility, they didn't give me an answer. Now that I'm out to work, I'm still a little confused, just like the current situation, in fact, we all know that our mission is only to rescue the people in this building, and the rest of the things are just a waste of time, but why do we agree as a matter of course when you say they want to avenge their grievances? β
Brother Zhang also raised his chin and thought for a while when he heard this question, and then replied: "I don't know very well, it may be related to cultural traditions, as far as what I know, our cultural core is not to advocate self-interest, altruism is the main theme." β
"It's not...... Brother, why did you go so far. β
"It's a bit far." Brother Zhang said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, then I think if there is no external pressure, we will instinctively choose altruism, if it is a choice of two, either complete the task or support justice, there is a high probability that we will choose to complete the task, because there is pressure." But without the pressure, most people will choose the best of both worlds to complete the work and the conscience at the same time. Of course, this is my own understanding, not on behalf of others, I am a very naΓ―ve person. β
The fairy girl sat there silent for a while, and then whistled: "I don't know if it's right or wrong, but what you said makes me feel comfortable." β
Brother Zhang also laughed along with his words, and at this moment, the one who knocked on the door yesterday to sell special products began to act, he still knocked on the door but ignored Brother Zhang and Xiangu who were sitting on the steps, and Xiangu tried to call him but there was no response.
"It seems that his mechanic will only be triggered in the room." The fairy girl sat back in her room, and continued to meditate on how to trigger the midnight mission.
Mainly because they don't know the details, there is no way to know how those gangsters entered the interior, and if they can't think of how they got inside, then they don't know how long they will be lost here.
"If, as you say, they came in through the back door, where the hell is the back door? We're all looking around. β
The fairy girl sighed, feeling a little helpless, and Brother Zhang had nothing to do, because they searched for a long time and didn't find any place with a back door, a total of such a building plus a canteen, and it was clear at a glance where there was a door and where there was no door, but they had been looking for a long time but there was no trace at all.
At this time, Brother Zhang took out his mobile phone again and looked at the text on it carefully, which was the general information about this place sent to them by colleagues outside, but because the age is too old, the information about this place is obviously not comprehensive and detailed enough.
"No. 45 XXX Road is the earliest high-end guest house built in XX City, it was built in 1939, as a private house of local businessmen in XX, the four-story western-style building was once one of the landmark buildings of XX City, and was used as the local daily command during the Anti-Japanese War, and was later transformed into a guest house."
Brother Zhang read this brief information again, but felt that it was useless, but the fairy aunt frowned: "Brother Zhang, you said that if this place was built in that era, would there be a basement or a secret passage or something?" β
"Possibly, but where's the entrance?"
Fairy Gu nodded and immediately took out the paper and pen from his arms, and began to describe the general direction of the guest house, although he didn't understand the design of the house, but he can always get inspiration in a flash of inspiration, this is probably the special function of their Fairy Gu Sect, anyway, this passive skill can always give him great help in very strange places.
"This is the entrance, there is a yard in front. The local wealthy businessman must guard against bandits and the like, so the front hall and courtyard are definitely impossible, because only after the first line of defense is broken will the hidden tunnel or underground dodge be activated. β
Brother Zhang stretched out his head and glanced at it, and then nodded thoughtfully: "The largest and most luxurious room is on the fourth floor, do you say that in fact, our route has always been wrong, and the secret passage of others is actually not on the first floor but on the fourth floor?" β
Fairy Gu snapped her fingers: "Go up to the fourth floor!" β
The two of them ran up to the fourth floor, and first knocked on the door of the manager's room, the manager was a middle-aged man in his forties, and his expression was that a deep wound extended from his chest to his groin, half of the organs in it were drooping outside, and there was also a gap on his face that extended to his temples, which made the manager's face hideous and terrifying.
However, despite such a hideous face, his tone and attitude are very peaceful, and it can be seen that he is definitely a gentle and polite person.
"Xiao Wu, is there anything wrong with me so late?"
Brother Zhang glanced at the fairy girl and tugged on his sleeve, the fairy girl immediately reacted and took her eyes off the manager's face, and then the manager suddenly became excited as if he was performing a mime alone: "What are you going to do!" β
With that, he took a few steps back and fell to the ground, and the door slammed shut, followed by the sound of ping-pong fighting, and finally fell silent.
At this time, the door opened again, and the manager had fallen to the ground, showing such scars on his body, and there was blood all around, and at this time, Xiao Zhang felt that the sound of the key colliding passed by his ears.
There was nothing in front of them, but it felt like someone was passing by them quickly with a key.
"Keep up!"
Brother Zhang dragged the fairy girl, and the two immediately followed closely the string of ringing, keychain sounds all the way to an inconspicuous iron door at the end of the fourth floor, and then the lock and chain of the iron door made a jingling sound.
In a few moments, the small door opened, and the sound of footsteps coming downstairs could be heard inside.
"Why can't we see this Xiao Wu?"
Brother Zhang asked in a low voice.
"He's not dead!" The fairy aunt said firmly: "We can't see the people who are not dead here. β
Following this footsteps all the way to the bottom floor, Brother Zhang and the others found that this secret passage really led directly to the fourth floor, and there were no doors on the other floors at all, which caused them to rummage inside and out on the first floor but couldn't find the location at all.
γ
And its design is also very ingenious, from the outside it is hidden in the western-style building into one, it is impossible to find that it is a secret passage, even the outside door is only the inner lock and no external lock, if you don't get close, it is difficult to find that there is a door here.
This place is very dark, almost to the extent that the vision is invalid, but Brother Zhang and the fairy aunt both felt that there was actually a third person beside them, and when they reached the bottom of the building, there was a sound of Suosuo, followed by the sound of the door opening.
"Time!"
Fairy Gu hurriedly raised his wrist, and after seeing the time, he gasped: "That's right!" β
Suddenly, the two of them felt a strong force rush them to both sides, followed by a messy footsteps and Dongdong ran upstairs, and they knew it was those things that had come in.
They hurriedly followed, and found that there was already a group of people in the corridor on the fourth floor, holding various weapons in their hands, and they divided into two ways and began to open the door from room to room, driving the people inside, and killing them directly if they resisted a little. The other way went straight downstairs and began to block the entrance door.
The fairy aunt gave Brother Zhang a look, and then went downstairs with him, while Brother Zhang stayed on the fourth floor and became a witness to witness what they had done.
These people are more ferocious than any movie that Brother Zhang has ever seen, and they treat other people like a herd of animals, and the waiter who sells special products wants to resist, so they smash his face into a lake of pulp with an iron hammer.
At this time, there were also women's unique screams and begging voices downstairs, Brother Zhang frowned and followed these people all the way, watching them drive people out room by room, and then rushed to the canteen downstairs.
When Brother Zhang came to the first floor, the half-faced beauty who was in charge of receiving them before was already lying on the ground, with no strands on her body, her braids were completely scattered, her hair was scattered on the ground like a flower, and there was a person standing there covering her ears and red eyes, and holding a claw hammer in her hand.
"Dare to bite Lao Tzu!"
His voice sounded very young, and when Brother Zhang saw the face of this gangster, he found that he was still that childish, and no one could have imagined that such a young man could do such a murderous and terrible thing.
After that, everyone was gathered in the cafeteria, when the men who had captured them from outside followed, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.
At this time, the boss of the bandits began to shout outside, which meant that they knew that they couldn't run away anyway, so it was better to do a big fight, and they could leave a name if they died, and he also said that they would have stepped on it a long time ago, just to let these people with heads and faces not die well.
As he shouted, one of his men grabbed the cook in the guest house directly, then shot him in the heart, and asked several men who were held hostage to carry the cook's body upstairs and throw it in front of Sir downstairs as a warning.
After that, as in the stalls, these vicious gangsters began to treat the people here in the most cruel way, and for a moment the whole canteen seemed to turn into a living hell, and the room was filled with cries and begs for mercy.
Of course, Brother Zhang didn't come to watch a horror movie, he quietly wrote down the faces of each robber next to him, and then found that there were originally eleven robbers, but only ten can be seen here.
According to the fairy aunt, those who are not dead cannot see the statement, and in addition to the inner ghost, there is a bandit who also survived, but the statistics are not wrong, it is still eleven.
"Li Dai Tao stiff."
Immortal Gu also discovered this problem, he came to Brother Xiao Zhang's face and looked at the human purgatory in front of him with a pale face, he snorted coldly and said: "More than thirty years of impunity is really amazing. β
"But how did those two survive? Others won't identify? β
Xian Gu pointed to an inconspicuous empty seat in the crowd of people who were being held hostage: "That empty seat is Xiao Wu, who killed the manager, and he disguised himself as a victim, because everyone who was his true identity was killed." I don't know the other one very well, because I can't see people, so I don't know the specific situation at all. β
Brother Zhang stood there with his hands behind his back, frowning and quietly watching the tragedy in front of him, and a murderous aura gradually appeared on his face.
"Brother Zhang, let's assume a plot. We know that the original goal of this gang was actually to rob, why did they suddenly wash a guest house with blood? β
"Hmm. Don't you notice that they are all familiar with the environment of the guest house? Brother Zhang glanced sideways at the fairy girl: "They may be for revenge." β
Originally, they wanted to continue talking, but at this moment, the screams one after another made it impossible for them to continue talking, and the fairy girl simply turned her back and looked out the window quietly because she couldn't stand it.
Until the sky was dark, the apprentices finally stopped a little, but the most terrible thing happened, the scene of cardiopulmonary porridge was staged again, only this time it was not distributed by the chef but by these gangsters, their movements were skilled, at first glance they were professional cooks, and there seemed to be no difference between solving people and killing pigs for their books, and feeding heart-lung porridge to the kidnapped people was just out of their bad taste.
"Is it possible, you say, that this is a revenge they have been planning for a long time?"
Brother Zhang turned around and asked the fairy girl: "If you can grab it, you can grab it, and if you can't grab it, you will come here to take revenge." β
"It's not impossible." Immortal Gu nodded and said: "The identity information of those people is really because the age is too old, and because the file is not properly preserved, there are a batch of soaked water, so we are at a loss to verify, but from the current situation, this possibility is very high." β
Brother Zhang nodded, then took out his mobile phone and sent it out: "Check if there are any employees of the guest house among the survivors back then." β
Soon the message came back: "Yes, there is an employee. His name was Wu Qiang, born in 1964, and passed away in 2017. β
"Dead?"
"Well, dead. Before his death, he had been burning a boiler in a local unit, and later died after suffering a stroke due to alcoholism. β
Brother Zhang snorted, it seems that even if he is dead, if he hadn't died in the events at that time, he wouldn't have appeared here, but now Xiao Wu is dead...... The only person who was able to set off on this incident was probably the other surviving gangster.
"Then please check who the six of the seven survivors are except for this Wu Qiang, and it's best to have a photo."
