As soon as he left the dance hall, a slender figure happened to walk towards the dance hall.

Li Ang raised his wrist and glanced at the time, it was half past ten in the evening.

"The supermarket is closed?"

He walked over with a smile.

"Hmm."

Hua Man bowed slightly.

She handed over a golden fried dumpling wrapped in chicken skin paper and smiled sweetly.

"I just brought you a late-night snack."

"I'll taste it...... Well, not bad. ”

Ang Lee took it in his hand and took a dumpling and put it in his mouth.

"You go in first, I'll go out for something."

"Are you going out so late?"

"Well, there's something going on in Sheung Wan."

Hua Man didn't ask anything more, just nodded and handed over a blue handkerchief.

Seeing Hua Man walk into the dance hall, Ang Lee turned around and left.

Turning into the alley along Xicheng Road, stepping on sewage and scattered garbage under your feet, you went out of the alley to Longjin Road, and came to the east gate of the walled city.

"Brother An."

"Brother An."

Da Chun and Amin have been waiting here for a long time.

"Let's go."

Li An nodded, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, put his hand in his pocket, and hurriedly led the two to Boundary Street.

A red taxi was waved to stop, and the three got into the car.

"Yau Ma Tei Ferry Pier, thank you."

At this time, there was no undersea tunnel, and if you wanted to get to Hong Kong Island, you had to cross the sea.

However, it was so late that there was no small ferry, so I had to take the fishermen's sampan to cross the sea.

By the time Ang Lee crossed the sea and took a taxi to Sheung Wan Police Station, it was already close to the early hours of the morning.

"You still ask me out so late, and I don't look at it, it's almost early in the morning, my wife is still making soup at home, and when I get home, I will definitely have a nagging."

Seeing Li An coming, Li Zhengtao complained and said.

Li An smiled when he heard this, and quipped: "Sir Li, aren't you, I'm afraid of being lectured by my sister-in-law when I go home late." I remember last time Inspector Lanjiang said, you Teochew people are notoriously not afraid of wives? Is it blowing water? ”

"Ahem~"

Li Zhengtao coughed twice and almost choked on saliva.

He glanced at He Yi, who was smiling next to him, and said righteously:

"What do you know, loving your wife and being afraid of your wife are two different things."

"That's a good thing."

Ang Lee nodded solemnly.

didn't mention the other party's troubles that were blown out by Sanjiangshui, and found the little wife to be discovered, and asked Sanjiangshui to help carry the bag.

Li Zhengtao waved his hand and said:

"Okay, what's the matter with asking me out so late?"

Li An glanced at He Yi and Li Zhengtao: "Eat supper, you've been busy all night, you must be hungry too, right?" ”

"Well, I'm hungry indeed."

He Yi touched his stomach and said against his will.

In the teahouse before, Wu Shihao finished the refreshments he ordered when he left.

"Are you kidding me? Invite me to supper? Or did you come from Kowloon? If I'm not mistaken, this little wheel is gone. ”

Li Zhengtao's tone was exaggerated, looking like you were a liar.

Ang Lee smiled and diverted the topic:

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how is the Inspector's affairs going?"

"Although those ghosts are greedy, as long as they collect money, they can do things quite quickly, no problem."

"Congratulations, maybe we can go further in the future."

Ang Lee complimented.

Li Zhengtao sighed: "It's good to be able to get a detective, but I don't dare to think about Inspector Zonghua." ”

"You're only in your thirties, who can say for sure what will happen in the future."

Li An smiled, there are still ten years, these detectives are running and catching, no one can say what happened at that time.

Li Zhengtao pouted:

"It's not necessarily good to climb high, and you don't have to listen to those ghosts. I still like money, I will retire after making a sum of pension money, and when the time comes, I can go abroad, anything. ”

Li An didn't answer this, raised his wrist, and glanced at the time:

"Let's go, it's already twelve o'clock, if you don't go again, those vendors will close their stalls."

"You really came to Hong Kong Island just to treat me to supper?"

Li Zhengtao was a little worried.

Wu Shihao was cut at night, and Ang Lee rushed over from Kowloon, thinking about it, he knew that it was not simply to invite him to supper.

"Let's go for supper first, and then listen to your arrangement, I will pay the bill, and I should celebrate you in advance. Let's go. ”

"Okay."

Li Zhengtao grinned, and didn't insist anymore.

The three of them went downstairs and came to the first floor.

Li Zhengtao walked outside the police station and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Li Antou didn't reply:

"Taipingshan Street."

"Huh?"

Li Zhengtao paused and was silent for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything and followed Li An.

At the door of the police station, Ah Min and Da Chun, who were smoking cigarettes, saw Li An coming out of the police station, hurriedly threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, and walked over.

Li Zhengtao glanced at it, his eyes quietly stopped on the waists of the two of them, and got into a Ford sedan parked in front of the police station.

With the vehicle starting.

The car sped all the way, past the old tenement buildings on both sides of the street, and drove towards Taipingshan Street.

……

Zhong Tai is 42 years old this year and is an old man of Liangongle.

At the earliest, when there was no Liangongle, he was the red stick of Dongfuhe.

From Dongfuhe sitting in the museum, the fat pig guy was thrown into Stanley Prison by Liu Fu, and the club was taken over by Liu Fu's nephew, and Dongfuhe changed its name to Liangongle.

Because the big guy is a fat pig, he has been secretly excluded in Liangongle.

Zhong Tai is not tall, only 1.6 meters long, and the nickname Gao Laotai is more like an irony for him. The first was called by one of his opponents, although Zhong Tai didn't like this nickname, but after being called for so many years, he slowly got used to it.

There are talents in the Jianghu generation, and Chen Shou can become a hot figure in Liangongle at the age of his early twenties, and his mind, means, and mind are definitely not bad.

When he first took refuge in Chen Shou, a junior, Zhong Tai was secretly teased by many people.

Facts have proved that his vision is not bad, since he took refuge in Chen Shou, Zhong Tai has been valued by the other party, and now he is helping the other party take care of the gambling business in Sheung Wan, and he has taken over the human snake business in the hands of Hei Xinhua, which can be described as a spring breeze.

It's just that the land on the dock was robbed, which made him quite annoyed and angry.

He was not in the mood, and even his favorite mahjong on weekdays got off early, and he took three or four beaters to a porridge shop on the side of the road diagonally opposite the gambling house to eat night porridge.

Just as he was about to leave, a black Ford sedan pulled up next to the porridge shop.

Zhong Tai unconsciously glanced at it, and the five people who got out of the car walked straight towards the porridge shop.

"Two sirs, how can you have the leisure to eat night porridge tonight?"

Seeing Li Zhengtao and He Yi, Zhong Tai put on a smiling face and greeted him with a smile.

Li Zhengtao glanced at Zhong Tai and said nonchalantly:

"Gao Laotai, do I want to talk to you when I come to Taipingshan Street for a supper?"

Gao Laotai, isn't it Zhong Tai in Wu Shihao's mouth, Li An heard this, and glanced at the other party.

He was not tall, dressed in a gray short, with a gold chain around his neck, and the green jade wrench on his thumb was quite eye-catching.

"No, how dare I? It's just that it's rare to see Sir Li coming, and I'm a little surprised. I'll pay for what you want to eat tonight. ”

Gao Lao Tai waved his hand again and again, and as he spoke, he looked at the three Li An who were with Li Zhengtao.

Although he had heard of Ang Lee's name, he did not know Ang Lee. Seeing that Ang Lee was not very old, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"No need."

Li Zhengtao opened his mouth to refuse.

"Eat happily, those guys."

Zhong Tai seemed to be accustomed to it, and he didn't care about Li Zhengtao's tone, and after saying a word with a smile, he turned around and left with someone.

Coming across the street, along the mottled staircase to the second floor, a younger brother stepped forward and patted the door hard.

Soon, the door was opened.

A horse-faced man looked out of the door, and when he saw Zhong Tai, he hurriedly shouted:

"Brother Tai."

Jong Tae hummed and walked in.

The entire inner floor was opened, and under the incandescent light, there was smoke and a noisy noise.

Even though it was early in the morning, seven or eight tables were still surrounded by gamblers.

……

"Please take your time."

Hot porridge was served.

Li Zhengtao had just eaten two bites when he was attracted by the movement across the street.

There were about 100 people from the streets, all of whom had bad faces and had things in their hands.

Li Zhengtao saw Wu Shihao walking in front at a glance:

"Hey, do you want to make such a big scene?"

"You've already finished work, and no one has reported the crime, so you should watch the excitement."

Li An chewed the porridge in his mouth and swallowed it, and replied with a smile.

Across the street, Mr. Wu threw the cigarette butt in his mouth on the ground, leaving some people downstairs and leading others up the mottled staircase.

"Open, twelve o'clock!"

As the dice stopped turning, the gamblers gathered around the table with their eyebrows fluttering and others gritting their teeth.

Zhong Tai sat on the chair with a golden knife, took the tea handed over by his subordinates, looked at the gamblers with flushed faces from time to time, and asked casually:

"Ah Kun, how are things going?"

"One brother died, seven were injured in the hospital, and the remaining seven brothers were arrested by the bad guys."

The man who spoke was about forty years old, his shirt was open, his face was cross-faced, and he looked a little vicious.

Zhong Tai raised his head and stared at him:

"What's going on?"

Ah Kun drooped his head and said in a low voice: "Brother Tai, I didn't expect Wu Shihao to be so capable of fighting, fifteen beaters didn't settle them, and even Shi Shiming was taken away by those bad guys." ”

"What a waste, so many people can't even put Wu Shihao on the table?"

Zhong Tai's face was ugly, and he couldn't help but scold.

"Brother Tai."

A Kun broke out in a cold sweat on his back, but he had to bite the bullet and say:

"Well, Shi Shiming and they are still locked up in the mission hall......"

Zhong Tai glanced at Ah Kun and said impatiently:

"You still have to ask me about this kind of thing, just find Cheng Jian, usually give him so many benefits, is he not willing to help with such a trivial matter?"

Ah Kun sighed:

"As soon as Shi Shiming and they were arrested and put into the errand hall, I looked for him, but Cheng Jian was powerless, and Li Zhengtao held on to people, so he couldn't help it."

Zhong Tai sneered: "What? Both of them are high-level detectives, can he Cheng Jian still be crushed by Li Zhengtao? ”

Ah Kun observed Zhong Tai's face and said in a low voice:

"I heard Cheng Jian say that Li Zhengtao has already dealt with those ghosts."

"You mean, the next inspector is Li Zhengtao......"

Zhong Tai frowned.

It is not uncommon for the word to be hot, even if it is caught in the errand hall, just give some money, and the stone is clearly detained, which shows that Li Zhengtao is embarrassing them.

What he hesitates now is whether he wants to go down and talk to Li Zhengtao now.

Bang bang bang!

The door was banged on from the outside.

"Here we are."

A four-nine walked over quickly.

As soon as he opened the door, a foot slammed into Sijiu's chest, kicking him to the ground.

A large group of people with wooden sticks in their hands poured in.

The smashing sound sounded, and the faces of those excited gamblers instantly turned pale, and they squatted down in silence, and the gambling house suddenly became a mess.

Several Sijiu who were watching the scene didn't seem to react yet, and they were overwhelmed by the crowd, and wooden sticks rained down on them.

In the blink of an eye, he was knocked to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Zhong Tai's face changed, and as soon as he stood up, more than twenty men dressed as coolies were already holding wooden sticks and pounced on him.

With a gust of wind, three or four wooden sticks smashed down on his head one after another.

He quickly dodged back, but he didn't want to slam a wooden stick that had been smashed diagonally on his shoulder.

Zhong Tai snorted, twisted his waist to the side, grabbed the wooden stick with his right hand, raised and kicked the man in the chest, and kicked the man to the ground.

Can be called a red stick, must be able to fight, although Zhong Tai is not tall, but when he was young, he officially apprenticed to Wan Chai's Pak Mei boxing master Li Yonghe learned kung fu.

The kung fu in his hands is not bad, and he dares to fight, and he only broke into the name of the red stick when he was young.

It's a pity that as the years go by, eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves, most of the kung fu they learned before is wasted.

Although he can still deal with four or five beaters with his bare hands, in the face of these swarms of coolies, Zhong Tai was also rained down by wooden sticks after knocking down three people.

The dull ache in his body made him start to lose his strength.

Just when he was distracted, a wooden stick smashed into his face and slammed it on his head.

Jong Tae's head tilted back after being beaten, and blood flowed down his cheeks in an instant.

Before he could come back to his senses, he felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and he was hit in the crook of his arm with a stick.

"Click!"

There was a crisp sound of bones snapping with the sound of sticks breaking.

Jong-tae screamed, clutching his broken arm and staggering back.

"Brother Tai, let's go."

Seeing that there were still people pouring over, Ah Kun's voice was eager.

At this time, Ah Kun was no better, his face was covered with blood, and blood was pouring out of his head from time to time.

Ah Kun gritted his teeth, kicked over the person in front of him, and walked to the other door with Zhong Tai in tow.

A stream of blood splattered in the air.

One of the four nines who followed him screamed and fell to the ground.

"Hit the streets!"

Wu Shihao's face was expressionless, and he stared at Zhong Tai who was being protected at a glance, hurried two steps, raised his right hand, and slashed hard at Zhong Tai's back.

Ah Kun turned around and just wanted to stop him, but he was smashed on the shoulder by a wooden stick from Xiwei on the side.

I couldn't help but snort and staggered back.

"Poof!"

Blood splattered!

Zhong Tai, who was not in a hurry to dodge, was slashed in the back by Wu Shihao, and blood splashed his hands.

Wu Shihao's eyes were full of ferocity and murderous aura, he stepped forward, handed his right hand forward, and the tip of the knife poked into Zhong Tai's waist!
