Chapter 647: The Cunning Driver
Seeing that the three people were turning around the house, and one of them was walking towards the side of the road, Cheng Yu glanced at Lao Dapeng, and the two of them lowered their heads and walked into the distance.
As he walked, Lao Dapeng asked in a low voice, "Are they the ones who want to kill me?"
Cheng Yu nodded.
Lao Dapeng asked again: "Didn't you say that there were four of them? Why did only three of them appear?"
"Maybe you're guarding the car we drove in before. ”
Lao Dapeng suddenly realized, oh, and didn't say more.
Cheng Yu tilted his head slightly across the street, observing the situation near the house.
I saw that the man who walked to the side of the road stood on the curb of the road, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one for himself.
And the two men who came with him disappeared.
Cheng Yu knew that these two people must have found a way to enter the house, just like Cheng Yu had entered the house before.
In the house, there are no items that can directly point to Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu can't stay here for a long time, otherwise he will inevitably be seen by the other party.
Under the cover of night, the faces of Cheng Yu and Lao Dapeng, typical Chinese, are not so dazzling, but if the other party feels that their identities are suspicious, if they look closely, they will definitely be able to distinguish the identities of the two Chinese.
Although there are many Chinese tourists here, the other party must have seen the photos of Lao Dapeng, and then they will realize that Lao Dapeng still has helpers, and the helpers are not Westerners, but Chinese.
In that case, Cheng Yu will inevitably have to confront the other party head-on.
I am not afraid of what threat these people can pose to me, but if you do it in such a place, it will inevitably alarm the local residents and tourists in the town, and thus attract the police.
If it weren't for the fact that Lao Dapeng was by his side, Cheng Yu would actually prefer to dispose of these three people.
The person on the street, Cheng Yu stepped forward alone, and after using martial arts, he pretended to ask the other party for directions, and basically beat him at least until he fainted without making a sound.
Then he helped the man and walked towards Sergei's house, as long as the location of the two people in the house could be determined, with the skills brought by martial arts, it would not be difficult for Cheng Yu to break them one by one before the other party had time to shoot his gun.
But all this can't be seen by Lao Dapeng, and he can't even make too many guesses.
In Lao Dapeng's view, these three people overlapped with the four dead killers, and he didn't know that there were already four killers dead, he would only think that these three people were three of the four.
And if Cheng Yu asked Lao Dapeng to find a place to stay and solve these three people by himself, Lao Dapeng would definitely think that those three people were subdued by Cheng Yu, or even killed.
Cheng Yu must not make such an association with Lao Dapeng, otherwise this guy will confess to the police after returning to China, and when the police collect information and find that there has been a murder in Listvyanka Town, and it happens to be three corpses, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble to Cheng Yu.
Of course, the police will not pursue it too much, after all, this is not a matter within their jurisdiction, but they will definitely have a new understanding of Cheng Yu.
Considering that Cheng Yu had shown incredible skills before, coupled with what Cheng Yu "experienced" on the small island near Falklands at the end of the previous year, Lao Bian would definitely suspect a lot of things.
And all this is what Cheng Yu does not want to see.
Therefore, he can only choose to leave with Lao Dapeng, but he can't choose to kill the other party to prevent future troubles.
With Lao Dapeng, Cheng Yu returned to the town where tourists gathered, compared to the quiet of the residential area, it is obviously much more lively, the restaurants and bars on both sides of the street are full, and even there are many tables and chairs on the side of the road, tourists from all over the world enjoy the wind blowing from Lake Baikal here.
In places where there are many tourists, there are naturally many taxis that are parked on the side of the road waiting for customers.
Russia has always been famous for black rentals, at this time, such a remote town, and a small town near the scenic spot, the roadside stops, naturally almost all of them are hung with all kinds of strange shape of the ceiling lights of the black rental.
Cheng Yu pulled Lao Dapeng, chose a car casually, leaned over the window and asked the driver.
"How much does it cost to go back to the city center?" Cheng Yu naturally could only communicate with him in English.
The drivers of black taxis that can solicit customers in such places are also people who can barely use English, otherwise, in the face of foreign tourists, who do not know English, they will hardly be able to attract any business.
And the driver didn't even know more than English, after answering Cheng Yu in English, saying that he wanted five thousand rubles, he tried to say in blunt but not too lame Chinese: "Chinese?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "Yes." ”
"The Chinese are all friends of our Russians, and since you are Chinese, then four thousand rubles, oh no, three thousand five. ”
Cheng Yu really didn't expect that the Chinese would have such preferential treatment here, and the price was of course high compared to normal taxis, but Cheng Yu didn't care about the money.
After saying yes, Cheng Yu pulled Lao Dapeng into the back seat of the car.
The driver didn't drive directly, but turned his head and said, "Pay the fare first......"
Cheng Yu frowned, and the driver seemed to see that Cheng Yu had an opinion, and quickly explained: "Chinese friends, you also know, we are not officially operated taxis. If you don't want to pay and shout to get the police in the city, we're in trouble. So, generally, we ask for the fare to be paid upfront. ”
Although I always feel that this is not so reliable, Cheng Yu is not afraid of what tricks this driver will play on the way, if this driver has any tricks, Cheng Yu really doesn't mind borrowing it with someone and a car.
So Cheng Yu took out his wallet, counted out three thousand five hundred rubles from it, handed it to the driver, and said, "If everything goes well, I will tip you." ”
The driver took the money with a smile, agreed, and immediately started the car.
The car began to move around, and Cheng Yu casually asked, "How do you speak Chinese?"
"I used to be a soldier, and I was assigned to a post on the Russian-Mongolian border to learn Chinese from the Mongols. ”
Cheng Yu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mongolians can speak Chinese?"
"Mongolians don't speak Chinese, but they speak Russian. At that time, there was a joint Russian-Mongolian border market near the outpost where I was a soldier, which was semi-legal, and both governments turned a blind eye......"
Cheng Yu laughed again, this driver is a little interesting, and he can even say the saying that he opens one eye and closes one eye.
"What are you laughing at?" the driver asked.
Cheng Yu said: "It's nothing, I just think that your Chinese level is good, and you can even say that you will turn a blind eye." ”
"I learned it from the Mongols. The driver paused and continued: "We soldiers often go to that bazaar to buy alcohol, you know, we Russians, we can't live without spirits.
But in that ghost place on the Russian-Mongolian border, supplies are very scarce, and we can only get wine from the Mongols.
Coincidentally, there was a shop in that bazaar that served their own home-brewed Chinese liquor all year round.
It's stronger than mare's milk, and more like our Russian vodka. It's ripe after coming and going. That family speaks Chinese. ”
Cheng Yu nodded and said casually: "It's still a little strange, a Mongolian family, and they don't live near the Sino-Mongolian border, why do they want to learn Chinese?"
According to the old man of their family, back then...... Well, it seems that in the fifties and sixties, you China sent a lot of laborers to help the Mongols solve the problem of labor shortage.
Their family has received a lot of help from the Chinese, and the crafts that their family now relies on, such as making wine and making clothes, are all learned from the Chinese.
At that time, they were forced to learn Chinese, but it was not until the Mongolian government became nervous and demanded that China evacuate all workers and families from Mongolia that they realized that if it were not for these Chinese who taught them their craft, their lives would be much harder.
Therefore, their family has a tradition that in addition to their own language, each offspring must learn Chinese after birth.
I was also curious, so I learned some from them.
Over the years, I worked as a taxi in the town of Listvyanka, and I also came into contact with many Chinese, but I did not forget the Chinese words I learned. ”
Cheng Yu knew nothing about the history of China and Mongolia in the fifties and sixties, and he had no desire to continue talking.
When the car finally drove down the road by the river, the driver suddenly asked, "I think you seem to be hiding someone, right?"
Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and observed the driver in front of him from the reflection in the rearview mirror.
"Why do you say that?"
"Hehe, it's a professional habit. Oh, I came back here after I was discharged from the army and became a police officer. Resigned a few years ago. ”
"Have you ever been a policeman?" Cheng Yu was wary.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm not a police officer anymore, I'm just an ordinary taxi driver, I won't care about your business. ”
Cheng Yu snorted, his mind turned sharply, and he realized that this driver had something to say.
"Why did you mention this to us all of a sudden?"
The driver smiled, pointed to the front, and said, "I want to tell you that there is a checkpoint about two kilometers ahead." I saw the town's police car drive out before. According to what I know about the police station here, the police car is dispatched at this time, and it is in the direction of outside the town, so it must be set up at that checkpoint. ”
Cheng Yu's eyes were slightly empty, thinking of the previous incident when the driver emphasized that he should collect the money first, and couldn't help sneering: "So, you think we have a problem, and the police station suddenly and inexplicably set up a raid, you think that the police are targeting us." So they asked me to pay the fare first, and if I didn't dare to face the police, you could throw me off before the checkpoint and turn around and go back to town, but you won't get the money back. ”
"Hehe, I'm a little embarrassed to say that, but you're right. So, are you going to get out of the car now, or what?"
Cheng Yu snorted coldly and said, "Keep driving your car, we are not hiding from people, and we are not afraid of the police." ”
Cheng Yu said half of what he said was true and half false, of course he was not afraid of the police, and the police car in the town had a raid, definitely not because of the four killers before, most of it was related to the two policemen who went to Sergei's house before.
But Lao Dapeng was still afraid, during the conversation between Cheng Yu and the driver, Lao Dapeng had already grabbed Cheng Yu's sleeve and pulled it several times, his face was full of anxiety, which meant that he didn't even have a passport, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble if he really met the police.
After thinking about it, as long as the police didn't set up cards for the four killers, even if Lao Dapeng was arrested because he didn't have a passport and no entry record, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. If the killers don't dare to go after the police, then the police station is a safe place.
"Whatever. The driver looked a little embarrassed, and his previous little calculation failed.
"No wonder the police department will fire you. ”
