Wu Shihao was stunned when he heard this, handed Li An a butter packet, and asked tentatively:

"And what do you want?"

Li An took the butter packet and took a heavy bite before he said unhurriedly:

"If you don't have a dog, you can get a spear. However, I still have to go to Chaozhou Ming and see what goods he has there? ”

On the side, eating breakfast and listening quietly, Li Jianjun, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:

"A'an, why are you buying so many guys at once?"

"I'm going to go to the walled city to join in the fun." Ang Lee smiled.

"Walled city?" The crowd was taken aback.

Li Jianjun frowned, Li An was his nephew, and in addition to being surprised, he couldn't help but ask more out of concern:

"The walled city is in Kowloon City, and your business is in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Island. What's more, the city is a slum, and there is no business to do except for some people who are out of the way. How did you come up with the idea of going to the Walled City? ”

Li Ansan stuffed the butter bag into his mouth in two bites.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of everyone in front of him, he pondered for a while.

The people in front of him, whether they are Li Jianjun, Hou Shijie or Wu Shihao, are all their own people. What's more, except for Hou Shijie, everyone else also lives in the walled city, as long as Li An goes to the walled city and makes a disturbance, Li Jianjun and they will also know. And to see the goods, I also asked Li Jianjun to help.

In this way, there is naturally no need to hide it.

Ang Lee said selectively:

"Two things, one, mainly to deal with some personal matters. Another incidental thing is the fellow villagers' association. ”

"Fellow townspeople?" Li Jianjun frowned.

"Hmm."

Li An smiled at Li Jianjun, and the whole person was much more aggressive.

"You also know that I have a senior brother named Zhou Sheng. The Association has always wanted to meddle in the side business of Boundary Street in his jurisdiction. But my senior brother is a rare poor guy with some principles, and the people from the township association killed the ghost guy a few days ago, even if he promised the fellow townsman association, it is impossible for the ghost guy above to agree.

I don't need to tell you who the fellow villagers are, you should know that you live in the walled city, and you can't give up easily.

I have always disliked to leave hidden dangers, and Zhou Sheng has been very kind to me. Isn't this just going to the walled city to do some private business, so just touch it with the townspeople! Find them something to do and don't let them be too idle. ”

Li An said it lightly, but Li Jianjun knew it. Since Ang Lee's three short dogs are too few, he will definitely not simply make some trouble for his fellow villagers' association.

Wu Shihao glanced at the freighter that began to gradually dock at the port, and said:

"The wharf is about to start, and when we rest at noon, we will go to Chaozhou Ming again."

"Yes."

Li An nodded, as if remembering something, and looked at Wu Shihao:

"I'll ask the brothers below if they know how to use a gun. Find a dozen or so people and come with me to the walled city. ”

Anyone can use a gun, but not everyone can use it.

If it's outside, Ang Lee still has to be careful, and if he can solve it with his fists, he will never use a gun. But the walled city is different, a three-regardless zone, a bold one, there is nothing bad.

"No problem, I'll ask later."

Wu Shihao nodded in response.

Many of the people who have crossed the sea to Hong Kong to earn a living have been trained by the militia, and it is not difficult to find a dozen or so people who can use guns.

At this time, Li Jianjun, who had been frowning and thinking, spoke:

"I'll go with you, as well as Amin and Dachun, both of them have good marksmanship. And I've lived in the walled city for so long, so I have a good understanding of the situation inside. ”

"Are you busy on the docks?"

Ang Lee asked.

"I'll be able to get busy." Shiwei replied.

"That'll do." Ang Lee nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Hou Shijie: "Brother Jie, don't tell my senior brother about my going to the walled city." ”

"Okay."

In the bay not far from the Triangle Wharf, sampan boats, small barges, and messy docks docked on the shore.

Scattered along the shore are simple, dilapidated wooden houses.

The clothesline in front of the door was full of washed laundry.

At noon, the wooden house area was very deserted, and there were hardly two laborers in sight, except for some women who were washing clothes, and children who were dusty and barefoot.

Although it is dilapidated, it also reveals a strong atmosphere of fireworks in the world.

"Most of the people who live here are coolies who are begging for a living on the docks. And then there are the fishermen. Many of the residents who do not have a place to build a wooden house have to live on sampan boats for many years, and are called sampan passengers. It is even derogatorily called Shui Liuchai and Tanjiazai. ”

Wu Shihao introduced in a flat tone.

The three of them walked along the rugged path on the shore, and they were strangers, very conspicuous, attracting the attention of many people in the wooden house area.

Soon, a dark-skinned, shirtless strong man approached the three of them.

When he saw Wu Shihao, one of the three, he shouted:

"Brother Hao!"

"Where's Chaozhou Ming?" Wu Shihao raised his eyes and looked at the other party and asked.

"Brother Ming pushes pai gow, I'll take you there." The strong man hurriedly responded.

After walking for about ten minutes, in front of a house made of wooden planks, the strong man stopped.

At the door of the wooden house in front of me, four men sat around a mottled wooden table, filled with smoke.

The man sitting at the top of the table had disheveled hair and half-smoked cigarette teeth gnawed at his cigarette, and he squinted at the points of the two dominoes in his hand, and slapped them on the table with a red face.

"Oh the sky!"

Then he looked at the other three pai gow points, his eyes lit up, and his mouth urged: "Long three, tiger head, miscellaneous five, all killed, hurry up and give money"

"Brother Ming, Brother Hao is here." The strong man stepped forward.

The man turned his head and looked at it, and quickly stood up: "Brother Hao, how can you have time to come over today." ”

"Chaozhou Ming, come and buy some goods from you."

"Didn't you say last time that the goods won't come until next week?" Chaozhou Ming said in his mouth and walked in front of Wu Shihao.

"You're just out of stock for .45 bullets, and nothing else."

Wu Shihao glanced at his lips. "Take us to see it first."

"Okay. Come with me. ”

Chao Zhouming nodded, led the three of them to the beach, got on a small barge, and soon he took out two short dogs wrapped in brown paper from the plywood.

"P38, pen gun, look at it."

Ang Lee took it and put on a standard shooting stance.

While looking at it, he asked:

"It's all short dogs, are there any spears?"

Chaozhou Ming looked Li Ang up and down quietly, and hesitated:

"Naturally, there are long guns, after all, short dogs are rarer than long guns on the battlefield, but there are fewer people who buy long guns, only two. Brother Hao, can you ask, what are you buying this thing for? ”

When Wu Shihao heard this, his face turned pale:

"What? Worried that we're going to rob the gold shop? ”

Chaozhou Ming shook his head and asked uneasily:

"Brother Hao, I don't mean anything else, I just asked, I have a bottom in my heart. If something really happens, I can't run. ”

Wu Shihao patted Chaozhou Ming's shoulder and said with a big grin:

"We're fellow villagers, how could I cheat you. You see which club doesn't hide some guys privately, we have such a large area on the dock, it's not normal to buy some guys for self-defense, and it's not to rob the gold shop, it won't implicate you. ”

At the same time, the Kowloon District Poor Hall.

Hua Man walked into the errand hall with a little apprehension.

"Miss, what's the matter?" A military uniform stepped forward and asked.

The woman tucked her loose hair behind her ears and took a deep breath to calm her mind:

"My name is Hua Man, looking for you Inspector Zhou Sheng."

"Wait a minute." The military uniform was informed and went up the stairs.

After a while, he turned back.

"Our chief told you to go up."

"Thank you."

Hua Man thanked her, carried her handbag up to the second floor, and came to the door of the detective's office, she knocked on the door, and it was not until there was a voice inside that she pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hello, Inspector Zhou."

Zhou Sheng sat behind the desk, raised his eyes to look at Hua Man, and stretched out his hand to signal:

"Sit."

"Thank you." Hua Man pulled out a chair and sat down.

Zhou Sheng looked directly at the woman in front of him: "I'm a person. It's more direct, I hope Miss Hua Man won't be surprised. ”

Hua Man shook his head: "Inspector Zhou, if you have anything to say, you can say it." ”

"That's good." Zhou Sheng nodded, thought about it and said:

"I take the liberty of asking, I don't know what the relationship between you and my junior brother is?"

Hua Man only paused slightly when he heard this, and then said softly in a calm tone:

"Inspector Zhou, don't think about it, we're just ordinary friends."

Zhou Sheng was silent, observing Hua Man's expression.

It stands to reason that Ang Lee's own business, he, as a senior brother, shouldn't have asked more, but Hua Man, a woman, was too mysterious, and he couldn't help but ask more when he cared.

Seeing that the woman's tone did not seem to be fake, he said slowly:

"About you, Ang Li has already called me in the morning. Fifteen years, so much time has passed, it should not have been found out so quickly. But as it happens, there is a file in the archives that turned himself in to Akiyama. ”

Zhou Sheng handed over two yellowed sheets of paper.

"There is also a list of people who were held in Detention Room No. 2 at that time, you can take a look."

Hua Man's hand holding the paper trembled slightly.

"Towards the fierce mountain, intentional homicide."

Hua Man skimmed over the first record of the fierce mountain and set his eyes on the second.

"Lan Wanqing, Qi Maoyuan, Ke Wanchang, Fu Shoujin, Feng Chunmei Chaomengshan."

"The name on it is a list of people held in the detention cell for those three days, all of which are dated. The day he surrendered to Mt. Chao was July 9, 45. At that time, there were only four people in the detention room, Ke Wanchang, Fu Shoujin, Feng Chunmei, and Chao Mengshan. ”

Zhou Sheng's words rang in Hua Man's ears.

Heroic righteousness often only becomes a victim of rights and interests.

This is a sentence that Hua Man heard from Mr. Storyteller.

Fifteen years ago, there was the protection of Chaomeng Mountain and Duan Tongtian, and the walled city was originally a safe place. But as a three-regardless area, the walled city will undoubtedly be coveted by the community.

As the storyteller said, Duan Tongtian and her father had accidents one after another, and the hometown association also became the biggest winner.

Hua Man walked out of the errand hall coldly.

A man hesitated to stand on the crowded street for a long time, looking up at the sky from time to time, as if thinking about something.

After buying goods from Chaozhou Ming and leaving, Ang Lee did not go to the pier, but took a ferry across the sea and returned to Kowloon City.

By the time he arrived at the barber shop on Nanjing Street, it was already about three o'clock in the afternoon.

When Li An was just about to enter the door, he was just in time to send the guests out of the door.

"Come in."

Since Ang Lee practiced boxing with him, except for occasional things that don't come up for a day, the rest of the time has never stopped.

But it's been almost a week, and Ang Lee hasn't come to practice boxing.

Sitting on a chair in the first line, he looked at Li An who entered the door, with a serious face:

"Why haven't you come here to practice boxing for a few days?"

Li An's footsteps froze, he stood still about a meter in front of the first line of sky, and said a little embarrassed:

"Master, it's been a busy few days, and I've been delayed."

Hearing this, the face of the first line of heaven soothed a little:

"How's the Baji Quan practice?"

Li An pondered: "It's almost in the room." ”

In ancient times, there was a hall in front and a room in the back. Ascend the hall and enter the inner room. It is generally described as a very high level of knowledge or boxing skills.

Just like learning a craft, from ignorance, to entry, to mastery, and then to enter the hall, and then form your own style of your own, you are the so-called grandmaster.

In the final analysis, kung fu is also a kind of skill, and light and dark means rigidity and softness, which is just a kind of force, and there is no clear so-called hierarchy.

It's not so mysterious.

"Entering the house?"

A glimmer of surprise is also a little relieved.

He got up and closed the door.

"Follow me." A glimmer of heaven motioned for Ang Lee to follow.

The master and apprentice came to the rooftop one after the other.

A glimmer of heaven took off the white overcoat outside, revealing a cyan close-fitting skit, and walked into the middle of the field.

"Let's try it together."

"Hmm." Li An knew that the first line of heaven had the meaning of assessing his Bajiquan. He walked to the opposite side of the sky and put on a posture of Erlang Danshan.

The moment his feet burst out, he rubbed against the ground and snorted, and his body was like an eagle falcon skimming the ground.

Ang Lee's legs formed lunges, his arms bent into elbows and lifted upwards, the tips of his elbows went straight to the jaw of the sky. A glimmer of heaven did not dodge or dodge, a hammer smashed Ang Lee's elbow, twisted his waist sideways, turned around and poked Ang Lee's temple with his elbow!

Almost instinctively, Ang Lee leaned back, relied on his amazing waist strength to make an iron plate bridge, raised his right foot to the ground, and kicked the ball of his foot towards the leg socket of the sky.

"Good response!"

A glimpse of praise in his mouth, and he retreated.

"Master, it's my turn."

Li An straightened up, kicked the ground and rushed forward, and the two elbows poked straight into the chest of a line of heaven!

Unexpectedly, the first line of heaven did not retreat but advanced, the left arm passed under Ang Lee's armpit, the right hand was on Ang Lee's elbow, and his hands were pushed into his arms while turning sideways.

Li An's whole person was stunned, and his upper body leaned forward along the inertia.

A glimmer of heaven twisted his waist to send his hips, and leaned his shoulders against Li An's chest that was pulled over.

Close-fitting!

At the same time, Ang Lee also reacted very quickly, with a slanted footstep, sideways, rubbing, and shaking steps, all in one go! The same shoulder slammed into the shoulder of the sky.

Close-fitting!

Bang bang!

The two of them each took a step back.

"Powerful!"

A glimpse of the sky!

He moved his shoulders and said dryly, "Very good!" ”

There was also a smile on his face, and he was very satisfied with Ang Lee in front of him.
