Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Missed and Captured

I put my hand on the door and knocked three times, and a small hole was opened. One was very young and beautiful, but the eighth-rate make-up looked extremely uncomfortable. The pungent smell of the perfume made her a full-fledged flying girl's face, which was exposed at the small hole, looking at me with hostility. I knew that in this kind of place, there is absolutely no need to be polite to women, so I immediately asked: "Is Shi Xing there?" There were already several people inside shouting and asking what happened in unison, and another person looked out from the small hole.I took off the mask on my face.The eccentric face protruding from the small hole was Shi Xing. As soon as he saw me, he immediately opened the door.

The reason he was so respectful to me was because of several times.He was almost imprisoned because I came out on bail. I was definitely not in the company of thieves, but I thought that a person like Shi Xing turned out to be a very talented bank clerk, and he could live a peaceful and stable life. However, he was framed by his corrupt boss and spent several years in prison. His experience is very worthy of sympathy. I stepped in, and the smog inside was beyond words to describe. At a glance, I saw a camera with a leather bag but no belt on a greasy table. I almost took a quick stride, rushed to the table, pointed at the camera and said, "Who did this?"

Several people in the room, except for the flying girl, all turned pale. Shi Xing came up and said, "Mr. Wei, this camera..." I shook my hand and said, "Needless to say, whoever did it, I won't make him work in vain—" I said as I took out a banknote, put it on the table, and said, "This I took the camera with me." Shi Xing hurriedly said: "Okay! Okay! Why do you need to pay any more?" I smiled, picked up the camera and left.But the flying girl had her hips akimbo, which she should never have at her age, so she also blocked my way with a disgusting coquettish attitude.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, I pushed her away a few steps, walked out the door and walked towards the stairs. After walking a few steps, I heard A Xiao's strange voice again, saying: "Walk carefully!" I knew A Xiao was there, but I still couldn't help but startled him again! I wiped the camera under my side, walked a few streets, looked behind me, and saw that absolutely no one was following me, so I took out the film from the camera and handed it to a Laundromats, tell them to just print out the film. The shopkeeper seemed unwilling to do this small business. I told them that if I asked for it within an hour, I could pay ten times more, and the guy agreed with a smile on his face.

(In the early works, the great changes in life can be seen everywhere. Now, photos are developed in tens of minutes, and they are all over the street, but more than 20 years ago, it was the subject of "science fiction".) I picked a secluded alley, walked a few steps, checked that there was no one there, then threw the camera in a dark corner, and then I turned into the busy street again. My mood seemed very happy. Because, since I fought against those enemies, I have been at a disadvantage in every "confrontation".I lost the file, I lost the stinger, but this time, I had the upper hand.

There may be extremely important information in that roll of film. This point can be known by looking at the distressed appearance of the white man who lost the camera. I was in a relaxed mood, and of course I had put on my mask again, whistling softly, and headed towards Dunsplash. Dunspur Road is a very short and quiet street. As soon as I turned into Dunspur Road, I felt as if I had already left the busy city. What I met was a very close couple. I looked at the number and found number sixty-nine. Most of the houses on this street are of the same layout, five stories high, each floor has a balcony, and they are very comfortable bungalows. On the ground floor of No. 69, there are no shops on the left and right sides. The stone steps stopped in front of the elevator door.

I pressed the elevator, and while waiting for the elevator, I couldn't help thinking in my heart, I don't know what kind of person that Mr. Robert Young is, and what relationship does he have with this matter? If I handle it properly, then I can get a lot out of it tonight. But if that Robert Young is very alert, then I may be in vain, or I may be in danger! The elevator came down, I stepped into the elevator, and I was still thinking about it. In a short while, the elevator had reached the fifth floor. I stepped out of the elevator and saw that the fifth floor of No. 69 was opposite to the fifth floor of No. 71. Yes, that is the so-called "one elevator, two gangs" building.

I rang the bell for number sixty-nine.For a moment, there was no answer.I waited for a while, and then pressed the second time, still no answer.I pressed it hard for the third time, only to hear someone inside the door say: "Who is it?" I quickly said, "Is there a Mr. Yang who lives here?" The voice inside said: "What Mr. Yang?" I said, "Mr. Yang Tianfu." The voice said, "What do you want from him?" I said, "I am a fruit stall on the street, and there is a foreigner who asked me to send a letter." It was quiet inside for a while, the door opened a crack, and said: "I am, bring it!" I took out the note and passed it in through the crack of the door. At the same time, I pushed it against the door with my shoulder, Hope to be able to push the door open and walk into the house.

However, my purpose was not achieved. Because there is an iron chain on the door, the iron chain is only two inches long, and the door gap is only two inches wide.As soon as I handed the note in, someone snatched it away, and at the same time, the door closed with a bang, almost pinching my fingers! Of course, if I want to push the door open, it will not be difficult, but this way, it will be even more alarming.I didn't expect this Rob Young to be so vigilant. I didn't even see what he looked like. I only saw him wearing a red nightgown when the door was opened a crack. I stayed outside the door for a while, then rang the bell, and said, "The foreigner said that after the letter is delivered, there will be a reward of five yuan!"

The door opened a crack again, and a five-yuan bill flew out. At the same time, Mr. Yang shouted: "Go!" Then, the door closed again with a "bang"!I shrugged, picked up the five-dollar bill, looked around, and thought about what to do. I saw another staircase leading upwards, which must have led to the rooftop.A very adventurous thought immediately flashed in my mind, if Yang Tianfu won't let me in through the door, why didn't I climb down from the roof and climb in through the window?I smiled towards the door, turned around immediately, and walked towards the roof.

There is also a lock on the door of the roof, but the lock, under my sharp little hacksaw, only lasted for half a minute before it broke. . I first looked down the street and saw very few pedestrians.And never look up. This really gave me an excellent opportunity. I climbed down from the edge of the roof, followed a water pipe, and came to a window with raised glass. Usually, a window with this kind of glass must be a bathroom. That can transmit light and prevent peeping. I listened carefully, but there was no sound. I carefully used my index finger to flick the glass a few times, and a crack popped out. Then, I used my palm to remove a piece of glass, and then reached in to open the window. These procedures are all the basic skills of a burglar, and I believe they are done very well.After the window was opened, there was darkness in front of me. I paused for a moment before I could see the bathroom clearly. It was very spacious. However, that bathroom also gave me a very strange feeling. At first, I could hardly explain why I had such a peculiar feeling about that bathroom, but I could see it immediately, because there were neither bath towels nor toilet paper in the bathroom, as if it was discarded. I listened for a while, the bathroom door was closed, I couldn't see the situation outside, but there was no light in the crack of the door, from which we could tell that the people in the room were far away from the bathroom. I saw off two iron branches with a small hacksaw, and then jumped into the bathroom with ease. I went to the door and listened carefully for a while. Although I believe my own actions are quite just.But my actions at this time directly violated the law. If I was caught by the owner of the house, I would have to go to jail. This is really unimaginably embarrassing, so I must be careful. After listening for a while, there was still no sound outside, so I gently opened the bathroom door. I opened the door of the bathroom a crack, looked out, and I couldn't help being taken aback.This bathroom is an in-room bathroom, I looked out and of course I saw the room. However, it was an empty room without any furniture! I stayed for a while, walked around in the empty room, and opened the door again. Outside the door was a very spacious hall.But it was also empty, nothing. On one side of the hall, there were two other doors, and no light came through from under the crack of the door. When I opened it lightly, the two rooms were also empty.I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart: what's going on?What about Yang Tianfu?where is he Could it be that everything I experienced just now was an illusion. However, my letter was taken away, and there was an extra five-yuan bill in my pocket, but that was a real thing. I looked at the kitchen and the worker's room. Not only was there no furniture on this floor, but there was absolutely no one there. Of course, Yang Tianfu could leave the house while I was climbing to the roof, but you must know that Yang Tianfu didn't know in advance that I would send a letter, so he was here waiting for me. And Yang Tianfu must be living here, otherwise, he wouldn't be wearing a nightgown, but is it possible for a person to live in a completely empty house with nothing? I stayed in the house for a while, my mind was full of doubts, I knew there was the easiest way to solve this mystery, that is, I would go out and ring the bell to ask Yang Tianfu to come and open the door. When he came to open the door, I had no choice but to force my way into the house and meet this mysterious gentleman. I made up my mind to open the door and go out, but it wouldn't open.I was afraid of making too much noise, so I retreated, went back to the bathroom, climbed out of the window, and slid down the water pipe. And to slide down, that is the biggest mistake! Just when I slid five or six feet away from the ground, suddenly, two strong lights shot over and shone on me together. At the same time, someone shouted: "Don't move!" I shrank instinctively.Immediately jumped down, but after I landed, the strong light still shone on me, and at the same time I heard the sound of the pistol being pulled. I raised my hands and shouted: "Don't shoot." Then someone shouted: "Don't move!" The voices of those two shouts were loud and severe, and under the situation where I couldn't see anything under the flashlight, it seemed that two people came towards me, and I was immediately punched in the abdomen. That punch, to me, was like a tickle, and I didn't feel pain at all, but I knew that if ordinary people were hit by such a punch, they would definitely be so painful that they would sweat coldly, and I must not expose myself at this time True identity, because I am now a caught thief, so I must be like an ordinary person. At that moment, I yelled "Ah!", bent down, and shouted, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me!" I was saying "Don't hit me" when I got another punch on my chin. I immediately pretended to fall on my back, and then I was roughly pulled up again. At the same time, with a "crack", my right wrist was already handcuffed! It was only then that I saw clearly that the person who was dealing with me was not wearing a uniform.I thought to myself that it was really bad luck, why did I meet a plainclothes officer? At that time, I really had no room to speak, because the two men had guns in their hands, and one of them pulled me forward. I had no way to struggle with him, although I could use more than seven ways to break free from the handcuffs , But this is a straight road. After I break free from the handcuffs, if I run forward, the bullets from the two pistols will definitely be much faster than my movement. I followed them and came to the intersection. I saw a big black RV driving over. The driver was wearing a fedora hat, and the brim of the hat was pulled down low, so I couldn't see his face clearly. One of those two people took a step forward, opened the car door, and shouted, "Get in!" I couldn't help but be silent, because this car is not a police car."Where are you going?" I asked. As soon as I said the words, I received another "boom" punch on the back. The big man said, "Go to the police station, where else are you going? Would you like to dance?" I pointed to the big black car and said, "My friend, this is not a police car. Who are you?" The expressions of the two big men changed when they heard what I said. From the change in the expressions of the two of them, I can already be sure that these two people are definitely not plainclothes officers of the police, and the reason why I fell into their hands may be because my actions have long been known to Robert Young , and these two people may also be sent by Robert Young. As soon as I thought about this, I didn't have the idea of ​​escaping. Because, I have always wanted to find clues related to Zhang Xiaolong's disappearance, but so far, there is no result at all.Originally, if I could meet that Robert Young, it would be of great benefit to the whole matter.But Robert Young is not only very alert, but his residence is extremely mysterious, which made me find nothing. Now, these people are not police officers, so they are naturally related to Rob Young. Even if they have nothing to do with Rob Young, they are also related to Zhang Xiaolong's disappearance. They are the clues that I can't find. give up?When I thought about it, the driver coughed and pulled his hat up a bit. I saw the driver's complexion and eyes, all of which were indescribably gloomy. He winked at the two of them, and the two of them immediately put their pistols on my waist and shouted in a low voice: "Sensible, follow me!" let's go." I hurriedly said: "Brother, I... just a poor thief, you..." The two men couldn't help but hit me with gun barrels and pushed me into the car. With a "bang", the door closed, and the car immediately moved forward and sped out. I wanted to pay attention to where they drove the car, but There is a layer of glass between the back seat of the car and the driver's seat, and a black velvet curtain. The same is true for the windows on both sides and the back. The two big men drew the curtain, and I couldn't see anything in the carriage. I just felt that the car was driving very fast. At first, it stopped from time to time, which was naturally because of the traffic lights. Later, it kept speeding forward. My instinct told me that I had already reached the suburbs. On my left and right waist and legs, there was a gun against each other, but I was not surprised at all in my heart. Because at this time, I don't understand the identity of the other party, but the other party also doesn't understand my identity. And my advantage is that I can always figure out what kind of character the other party is.And if I keep pretending to be stupid, then they may really think that I am a thief who broke into an empty house, which will be of great benefit to me. So, along the way, I made a pitiful expression and kept begging those two people.The nylon mask on my face is as thin as the wings of a cicada, so the movements and expressions of the muscles on the face can be completely reflected on the mask. It is hard to believe that I am wearing a mask! Those two people just raised their faces and ignored me. When I said too much, they hit me with a pistol to signal me not to speak any more. Originally, I didn't intend to use my words to impress them and make them let me go. I just wanted to hide my identity. It seems that my performance was very successful, and I felt very satisfied. The car galloped for about an hour before stopping.After stopping, one of the two big men tapped his finger on the glass a few times. A very stern voice came from outside the glass, saying, "Take him out." The big man opened the door and dragged me out of the car. In my imagination, I must have arrived outside the den of thieves. Maybe the den of thieves is a gorgeous bungalow, or maybe it is a very simple thatched hut. But when I stepped out of the carriage, I couldn't help being taken aback suddenly. I just feel the cold wind blowing on my face, looking around, I can only see the shadows of trees, where is there any room? When I saw such a situation, I couldn't help being surprised, and hurriedly said: "What are you...bringing me here for?" As I speak, I am ready to act.Because I am afraid of them, if they want to kill me in such a wilderness, then I will die unjustly!But just as I was about to make a move, the driver walked up to me. His gloomy eyes looked very strange in the dark night, like a hungry wolf looking at food. He came in front of me, reached out and patted my shoulder, and said in a very blunt local language: "Don't worry, please put this on!" As he said, he took out a thick eyepatch. With my consent, my blindfold was covered. It was pitch black in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see anything. My mood at this time was very contradictory.Because the risk I took was really very dangerous. I blindfolded them, and it was much easier for them to kill me.However, they may not intend to harm me, and they are planning to take me to a certain place, so it is not appropriate for me to have an attack at this time. It's ridiculous to say, because I hesitated for half a minute because of this.And if they were going to kill me, I'm afraid I would have already gone to the west.But they were not going to kill me. I felt someone grabbed my shoulders and pushed me forward. I walked for twenty minutes before I heard the sound of the door opening, but after entering that door Finally, I walked for another five minutes before entering the second door. Then, I stopped, and my blindfold was torn off by someone. All of a sudden, I just felt that the excessive light was shining directly into my eyeballs, making me unable to see anything.But it didn't take long for me to regain my eyesight, and at the same time, I could see the situation in front of me clearly. The two big men who pretended to be policemen and escorted me here are no longer there.Only the driver was looking at me with very gloomy eyes, but he was leaning over and talking to a fat man sitting on the sofa in a low voice. It was an ordinary living room, and I couldn't see anything unusual, except for the fat man, who looked very mysterious because he was wearing a pair of black glasses under the light. The "driver" kept talking, and the fat man nodded all the way. I sat there pretending to be at a loss. After a while, the door opened again, and a very slender girl walked in, holding a tape recorder in her hand. , that girl also wears a pair of black glasses. After she came in, she didn't speak or greet anyone, she put the tape recorder on the table, and opened the switch skillfully, and the recording disc began to "rustle" and spin. The fat man coughed and waved his hand. The driver with a gloomy face sat down beside him. The fat man said, "Mr. Wesley, I've known you for a long time." The fat man spoke English very bluntly, but at this time, I would not be more surprised if the fat man spoke the language of Mars. I've been playing the role of "thief" because I fell into their hands while going down the water pipe.Moreover, I am still complacent. But, it turns out that people already know who I am! Thinking of my "wonderful performance" in the car, I couldn't help but blush. Only then did I realize that on top of many failures, there was another bigger failure! I stared blankly at the driver, then at the fat man, and for a moment, I couldn't say a word! The fat man smiled again, and said: "We used this method to invite you here for a meeting, and when you were working, I am really sorry." After I heard it, I just "hummed". In fact, at this time, I was completely defeated and completely at a disadvantage. I really couldn't think of anything else to say except for a "hum"!The fat man said again: "Mr. Wei, since you have come to my place, you think you can cooperate with us?" I didn't have a chance to speak until now, and said, "Who are you? What do you want me to cooperate with you?" The fat man laughed a few times and said: "It's very simple, we ask, you answer truthfully, that's all." I said in a deep voice, "What if I refuse?" The gloomy man immediately said with a sinister smile: "No, Mr. Wei is a smart man, how could he refuse?" I leaned forward, and the handcuff was still on my right wrist. Now, since the other party understands my identity, they naturally know my details, so why should I let this annoying thing stay in my hands?So as soon as I retracted my hand, I took off the handcuffs. At the same time, I grabbed the handcuffs casually, and the handcuffs were flattened by me.I saw surprise on the faces of both the fat man and the gloomy man. I threw the handcuffs to the ground and said, "Okay, I want to hear your questions first." The fat man said, "Mr. Wei, when did you start working for Lawrence Jayga?" The fat man's words really made me angry and funny!Who the hell knows what Lawrence Jayga is?I immediately said: "You must have mistaken the person, I don't know this person." The fat man shrugged his shoulders, the fat on his face trembling, like a piece of pork hanging on a meat hook.He said with a half-smile: "Mr. Wei, you must have heard of a drug that can make people tell the truth after injection. We are still unwilling to use this drug!" What the fat man said to me was not false threats, there was indeed such a drug. But the fat man doesn't use this medicine now, it is naturally not out of love for me, and after receiving the injection of this medicine, although the person speaks the truth, it is very messy and needs to be tidied up carefully in order to have a good life. It is well-organized, and it may not necessarily be able to sort out the truth of the facts, which is generally the same. I also shrugged and said, "I really don't know this person." The fat man said coldly: "Then why are you delivering the letter?" I yelled "Ah", and I immediately thought of the Caucasian man who died strangely in the backyard of Zhang Hailong's villa and passed me to move the body.The so-called Lawrence Jagar must be him! I immediately said, "You mean a tall man with a golden beard?" The fat man smiled, and said to the gloomy man behind him: "Our dear Mr. Wei's memory has not declined, he remembered." I endured his ridicule, and calmly said: "I don't know this person , when I saw him, he was dead." The fat man and the gloomy man seemed to be taken aback, and said in unison: "Dead, Lawrence is dead?" I said: "Yes, he died at the hands of two Twa people. Since you are from South America, you should know the power of the poison used by the Twa people!" I started fighting back as much as I could, because I recognized the fat man's English with Spanish endings, so I figured he was from South America.The fat man was really taken aback, and said with a dry smile, "Okay, Mr. Wei, then, what task did Lawrence's friend, Robert Young, who has seventeen or eight names, give you?" I sneered and said, "If Rob Young entrusted me with a task, why would I have to climb down the water pipe?" The fat man nodded unexpectedly, and I stood up, saying, "I believe we can do this in this way." It's not good for everyone to get along with each other." The fat man stroked his chin and said, "Mr. Wei, we have no other choice, because we don't know what mission you are on!" I immediately said, "You know, I also don't know what mission you are on!" The fat man was still touching his chin, although there was no mustache on his clean chin, he said slowly: "That's right, but now, you have been invited here by us!" This fat pig, he is blatantly threatening me! I don't know where this is, or who these people are, and I don't know how these people are going to deal with me, but I know that what I need now is calmness. Only by being calm can I get out of danger.Only by being calm can it be possible to figure out the details of these people.So, I also stretched my waist in a slow motion, and said: "I don't know how many times I have been 'invited' in this way in my life, but I am still here." The fat man was not forgiving at all, and immediately said: "I believe what you said is the truth, but this time, it's different, we don't hesitate to kill people, you know?" When he said those few words, his expression was very scary, especially because he was wearing black glasses, so he had a very gloomy feeling.As he spoke, he waved his hand to reinforce his meaning. From his expression, I could tell that the fat man was a man who could do what he said. I still maintained my composure, and said, "If I am destined to be your sacrifice, I have nothing to do!" The fat man sneered, and tapped the coffee table next to the sofa with his fat fingers. He asked, "Okay, I'll start my question!" I answered him in silence. He said slowly: "First of all, I need to know who is directing Robert Young!" My mind was racing furiously. I already know that these people in front of me are not in the same group as Robert Young, maybe they are still the opposite.But whether it was the fat man in front of him or Robert Young, it had something to do with Zhang Xiaolong's disappearance.I believe that besides the fat man in front of me, and Rob Young, there is a third group, that is, the dead white man, the "they" mentioned in the letter to Robert Young, the letter said, " They've got everything, and that certainly doesn't refer to the fat man in front of them. Because, the fat man in front of me is trying to get everything from me! I believe that the person who secretly took pictures of my residence and lost his camera may be the third party. At the moment, I was silent and didn't answer, because I couldn't answer at all.I knew nothing about Robert Young except that he wore a red nightgown and lived in a bare house on the first floor. The fat man waited for a while, but when he didn't see my answer, he coughed and said, "Mr. Wei, you should have said it." I said: "You are completely wrong. I have no way to answer such a question." The fat man said: "Then, or in a different way, whose order is Robert Yang accepting?" I stood up and strode in front of him. My movements were very fast and decisive, but when I reached the fat man's In front of him, there was still no surprise on the fat man's face. On this point, it can be proved that although I can't see any signs, the fat man is fully prepared, and he is not afraid of my sudden attack. I stood still in front of him, bent down, and said, "You have to understand, you made a mistake from the beginning to the end!" The fat man suddenly sighed, and said: "Yes, we have made many mistakes, for example, we thought that Robert Young was insignificant, but we were wrong, and Rob Young played the main role; for example, we thought that Zhang Xiaolong's The secret, no one knows anymore, but the fact is otherwise..." He mentioned that Zhang Xiaolong was here, and I couldn't help but feel happy. But the fat man didn't go any further, he just said: "If we made a hundred mistakes in the past, it's still too late to correct them now, so we want to question you." I immediately said: "If you question me, then you are making the one hundred and first mistake!"
