Volume 2 Kakuru Osawa Chapter 123 Black Iron Street
"Your secret technique is special. Yang Ji calmed down and praised.
"For detectives, the secret art of killing is not the right for us. Ms. Ole took out a delicate little book from her bag, copied a line of mobile phone numbers on a piece of paper, then tore it off and handed it to him, saying, "You can use your off-duty time to track down this case, and call me if you need any help." ”
"I'll keep an eye on it. Yang Ji accepted.
A charming smile curled up at the corners of Ms. Ole's mouth, and she swayed towards the bank, and Morse looked back from time to time until she saw the back of Ms. Ole leaving, and then sighed regretfully and withdrew her gaze.
After a while, Morse and the mysterious man in the tuxedo stood up together, and the two big men standing outside the door hurriedly greeted them, Morse motioned for them to send the gentleman next to him back to the car first, and he returned to the counter to pick up a box of cash.
"Ms. Ole is an old friend of mine. Morse seemed to mean this, and he said directly to Yang Ji.
"Madame Ole is a lady of great grace and it is a pleasure to know her. Yang Ji bowed slightly and made a ceremonial gesture.
"If it weren't for the sudden appearance of her damned husband, perhaps she would have been Mrs. Morse by now. ”
(As long as Madame Ole is not blind, she will not take a fancy to you bad old man...... Anyway, why did this bad old man suddenly come to me...... )
"The world is impermanent. Yang Ji slandered this old and indecent bald head in his heart, and pandered respectfully on the surface.
"What is your name, young man?"
"Dear Mr. Morse, my name is Yang Ji. ”
"Young man, Madame Ole is a very discerning person, and it is not easy to be appreciated by her. ”
"I'm just a bodyguard, Mr. Morse misapproving. ”
"How do you think you compare to them?"
Morse pointed to the two big men standing in front of the car, Yang Ji looked out of the door a few times in the direction of his finger, and said with a modest smile:
"Maybe I'm stronger. ”
"Good, good! Young people should be so confident. Morse laughed, turned around and got into the car escorted by his bodyguard, leaving Bond Bank.
(This bad old man won't hit me, will he...... Do you want me to break up Ms. Ole's family and rekindle my old relationship with her? No, I don't want to do such a thing...... )
Although Morse took the opportunity to speak to him, he could not be happy at all, and always felt that this bald head also had a strange and unpredictable purpose.
He put the matter behind him, got off work, changed into civilian clothes, and walked back.
Having dinner on the street at random, he planned to take advantage of the night to walk around the thirteenth arrondissement, on the one hand, to familiarize himself with the terrain, and on the other hand, to see if he could come across any clues.
The 13th district is not too far away from the golden 10th district, and it can be regarded as a prosperous scene, but after walking a little further to the outer circle of the commercial center, you will come to a place called Black Iron Street, which has existed for many years, and is home to the homeless people in the vicinity, the low-income people who receive cheap subsistence allowances, The slum shared by the discarded and the disabled and others who have no means of livelihood has been demolished for many years because of the complexity of the population and for more economic and municipal reasons, and the people in it have to be crowded into this cramped and dirty place year after year.
Yang Ji looked at the people leaning on the street on both sides, ragged and full of black and gray faces, some of them were skinny, some were missing arms and legs, and some were just children, but the shiny thing called "hope" could no longer be seen in the gray eyes, all the people here had eaten the last meal and the next meal, and tried their best just to be able to live.
The recent disappearance of a homeless man took place on Black Iron Street.
Black Iron Street is not a straight road, there are many small forks in it, he asked a few homeless people about it at random while walking, but he didn't expect them to wave their hands in horror without exception, signaling him not to delve into it, in desperation, he had to give a random twenty federal coins, and continue to walk deeper.
In such a dark and oppressive environment, he walked swaggering like this, and some people with bad intentions stared at him in the dark, but he didn't dare to approach, but as time went by, Yang Ji's sensitive feeling told him that there were at least six or seven people behind him, silently looking for a suitable time to start, and snatching all his things.
He didn't care, because at this time he saw a little girl with a yellow face and thin muscles looking at him in the darkness not far away, his lips were shriveled and peeling due to lack of water and malnutrition, and it seemed as if he hadn't eaten for a few days, he walked up to the little girl and squatted down, blocking the sight of the follower behind him, and quickly handed him a hundred federal coins and whispered, "Hide it." ”
The little girl still didn't come back to her senses, but when she heard Yang Ji's order, she subconsciously hid the money in her shabby clothes, with a thick doubt in her eyes.
"A homeless man disappeared here a few days ago, do you know about it?" Yang Ji asked.
"That's my brother. The little girl said cowardly, Yang Ji was in good spirits, and he was accidentally hit by himself and met the master.
"Mourning...... Do you know any clues?Did you see something next to your brother at the time?" Yang Ji asked as he guided.
"I was coming back from buying brown bread when I was passing by this place when I heard a scream, but it was my brother's voice that was familiar to me. ”
"I was so frightened that when I ran over, I saw that my brother seemed to be caught by something, and half of his body was in the sewer, and he didn't ask for help when he saw me, but kept signaling me to run away with his eyes. ”
"I was scared, I saw that the edge of the sewer was full of blood, and I turned around and ran around the corner, and my brother was suddenly pulled all over his body, and the manhole cover closed on its own. ”
Thinking back on this, she still seemed to be very frightened, her whole body trembled slightly, and her fingers trembled and pointed to the corner not far away.
"That's it. ”
With his extraordinary eyesight, Yang Ji saw at a glance the manhole cover buried in the dark, and the blood stains around it were gone, and no police officer was willing to stay in this Heitie Street for a while longer, so such an important clue was missed.
"Thank you for the clues, there are still 200 federal coins here, which is a small thank you gift, and I will help you solve some troubles. ”
Yang Ji turned his head to look at the darkness behind him, his eyes getting colder.
