Chapter 57: The Fantastic Drift of the French
Outside the door of the rented house, a group of young thugs in bib pants and peaked caps lined up and walked up the narrow staircase.
As they walked, they discussed what to do later.
"James, listen to the little clever man, Kaizi who took the bait this time is quite strong and tall, you can bring a knife in first and try his reaction in a while. If he jumps out of the window with his bare butt or grabs the door, then let him out, let's take the money easily, he will protect his dignity and honor, and we will all be happy. ”
"If he dares to resist, you weigh his weight first, and if you feel that one person can't deal with him, you call someone directly, and we will rush in after us."
"Be careful not to reveal our true relationship with Fiona. Don't push him too hard, he's really in a hurry, he may jump off the wall in a hurry, if he kidnaps Fiona, he will kill someone. ”
A few thugs came to the outside of the room and leaned on the door to listen, but after a long time, there was no movement.
The gangster, who looked like the leader, frowned and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" Didn't Fiona bring him here? ”
"No way, Hanny is using another room, there's no way Fiona can take him there."
Just as the thugs were confused, a low moan suddenly came from the room.
"Uh-huh! Save...... Destiny ......"
The gangsters were relieved at this time, and someone couldn't help but scold: "Fuck! After a long time, she was almost dizzy! hasn't signaled for so long, it seems that Kaizi has a lot of appetite for her this time! ”
"What to do? Do you want to wait for Fiona to finish? ”
"Wait a fart! We're going to go to Hannie in a while, it's the peak season for transportation recently, and Kaizi on the dock is batch after batch, hurry up and settle this order, and let Fiona do the next one. ”
"Get out of the way! James, we're waiting outside, ready to kick in the door. ”
After saying that, the thugs quickly flashed to the side of the corridor to hide.
The thug named James took out the butcher knife in his arms, took a deep breath, and recalled the classic plot that had been performed countless times.
Then he kicked the door open, rushed into the house with a knife, and cursed.
"Fuck! You stinky bitch, I knew you were out there smuggling men back again. Once or twice, I put up with it, but you're still unrepentant, is this really a temperless man! You see I'm not going to hack this idiot to death today! ”
Normally, when James finishes reading this line, there will be a woman's scream and a man's cheering voice in the room.
However, what is strange is that today's opening scene has just ended, but there is no follow-up.
There was silence in the room, not only was there no crying scene of the female number one Fiona asking for forgiveness, nor was there an impromptu recitation of the male number one Kaizi kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and even the supporting actor James was silent.
It was a long time before the thugs hiding in the hallway heard Fiona's moaning again.
The thugs pondered, "Is it that exciting?" James is this looking stupid? ”
The gangster leader slapped them on the back of the head: "Fuck! Can't see it yet? Here's something, you fools! Guys, copy me guys! ”
They flashed their knives hidden in their sleeves and rushed into the room with a menacing attitude.
However, before they could reach the door, they saw James slowly exiting the room with his hands raised in the air.
James was followed by a flintlock musket against the door of his head and a man who was a head taller than him.
Arthur glanced at the group of thugs standing in the hallway, and then tilted his head to the right at the stunned James.
James swallowed and foamed, then let go of his left hand, which was holding the butcher's knife.
I heard a choking sound, and the blade fell to the ground, smashing out a spark.
Almost at the moment when the butcher knife landed, Arthur unceremoniously kicked him in the stomach, kicking him to the opposite wall, James fell to the ground in pain, he knelt on the ground and covered his stomach, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.
Arthur ignored him, he raised his pistol and pointed it at the thugs in the hallway.
"Excuse me, are you the 'little brother of Cambrigi'?"
The leading gangster couldn't help but take half a step back, but he quickly reacted, at this time, he must not show weakness, if he wants to eat in the East District, he wants to be ruthless.
He licked his lips and pretended to be relaxed: "Heh! It seems that we have encountered a hard idea today, I don't know which forest my brother occupies? It's okay, why smash our business? ”
"Which forest?"
Arthur remembered some of the information he had learned when he was talking to Adam, and he said, "Which forest are you going to ask me, the black thorns in London's West End, the bow and arrow in the crow's nest, and Robinson." ”
When the other party heard Arthur's name, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You are the person of St. Giles's old Fagin?" Isn't that old man who is about to go to the ground raise some imps who steal handkerchiefs, when will he start to put away outlaws like you? ”
Arthur said unhurriedly: "There are too many thieves in these years, so old Fagin plans to change the track and develop some new industries, I heard that you are doing a good job in the East District, didn't I come to learn from you?" ”
The gangster leader gritted his teeth, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Friend, you don't have to deal with us here." Let's be honest, what the hell are you going to do? There's a lot of cheese in the East End, enough for us rats, and we can't use knives and guns. ”
When Arthur heard this, he nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll just say it." Have you been kidnapped lately? A fat French man with curly hair named Robinson Crusoe. ”
"Oh......"
When the gangster leader heard this, he couldn't help but prolong his voice: "It seems that you also took this business from Fred." But you're unlucky, we've already handed over that fat French man in a hurry. ”
"Hurry?" When Arthur heard this description, he couldn't help but nod and said, "It seems that this is indeed an authentic Frenchman." Even if they put a short skirt on the water pipe, they will not be able to control their emotions. ”
The thug nodded approvingly, and he added, "One more thing I have to correct you is that the Frenchman is not called Robinson Crusoe, and we beat him up to learn his real name." ”
When Arthur heard this, he couldn't help but be interested: "Oh? What is his real name? ”
"He said his name was Friday."
Arthur took a deep breath, and only then did he realize that he had fallen into a misunderstanding, and he gradually realized what was going on.
If it weren't for the fact that the informant didn't tell him the truth, then there was something wrong with the Frenchman.
It's okay for the French fat man to deceive people with a fake name, but the fake name is so casual, as if no one has watched "Robinson Crusoe".
Misleading the police like this, even if he is rescued later, Tom and Tony must be asked to teach him some lessons.
"Okay." Arthur put away his pistol: "So, you sent people to Fred?" 75 Brick Lane, Whitechapel, Blackpool Detective Agency? ”
This time, however, the gangster leader did not answer him.
He saw Arthur put away his pistol, and almost instantaneously drew the knife behind his back with red eyes, intending to leave Arthur some parting gifts.
"Fuck, boy, who do you think you are? You ask questions and we have to answer them, do you think you are God? ”
Arthur didn't panic when he saw them pounce, he saw the right moment and stepped on the gangster's calf bone.
The thug's calves were under pressure, his knees couldn't help but bend down, and he half-knelt directly in front of Arthur.
Arthur also took advantage of this opportunity to unhurriedly draw his pistol again and stuff the black barrel into his mouth.
With a gun in one hand and a pipe in the other, Arthur leaned his face closer and said to the thugs.
"Boy, I'm telling you, don't me off, I really hate playing with violence."
