How could I be willing to send it to my door by myself and be at a disadvantage?In those few seconds, I had already made up my mind. I pushed my hands and said, "I didn't expect your eyesight to be so good, so I had no choice but to throw it away!" As I spoke, I threw out the fake gun. I did throw a fake gun, but the fake gun I threw was shot towards Juedus' wrist!While Juedus was stunned, the fake gun had already hit his wrist, he pressed the trigger, and shot into the wall. The revolver was obviously specially constructed.There was no sound of gunfire, and, for a tenth of a second, I glanced at the wall hit by the bullet, and I was sure that the gun he used was the most vicious "dum dum bullet" !Naturally, as soon as I threw the fake gun, I jumped forward and punched his fat belly.

That punch hit his stomach with a "bang", this guy's fat body shook, and his body bent like a lobster. I slammed my knee again and hit his chin hard. ! His body retreated three steps with a bang, and sat down on the sofa. I had already rushed forward while he was feeling the pain, and not only snatched the gun from his hand, but also searched for it under his left and right sides with great speed. A small "Blanlin" pistol came out! Juedus slumped on the sofa, panting, looking at me with eyes like dead fish, I let him calm down first. After a while, Juedus took a breath, and I said, "Mr. Juedus, can we start our 'quiz game'?"

Juedus wiped his sweat and said, "You won the battle, but you still get nothing." I said coldly: "You are in Brazil and have a huge fortune. You should save your life and enjoy that fortune!" Judushi's complexion became extremely ugly, and I asked, "What are you doing here?" Jue Dushi paused for a while, and then said, "Look for someone." I said, "Who is it?" He said, "A Chinese named Zhang Xiaolong." I asked, "What do you want from him?" He said: "I... I'm looking for him" He was obviously delaying time, I said coldly: "Mr. Juedus, I believe you will never be able to withstand my three punches again!"

He smiled wryly and said sweatingly: "As far as I know, Zhang Xiaolong is engaged in a scientific research. This research work has very great experience value, which can make me accomplish a lot in Brazil." I said, "What exactly is Zhang Xiaolong studying?" He spread his hands and said, "I don't want to go into details. I have sent six men down here one after another, and all six of them died here. That's why I went out personally." I didn't expect that even though I could question Judushi, I still couldn't get any information! However, I don't believe what Juddus knows at all, that's all.Because, if that's all, why did he kill Liu Sen?

So, I sneered and said, "It's such a pity that Liu Sen died under your hands for such a simple matter!" A little sweat! It immediately occurred to me that things were in my favor. I don't have to point a pistol at him at all.Because, in Brazil, with his wealth and power, he can do whatever he wants, but here, if he is proven to be a murderer, it will be a big trouble. So, I put away my gun and said, "Okay, it's really your turn to tell the truth. I have two witnesses to Liu Sen's death." Juedus shouted nervously, "No!" I smiled and said, "It's easy, you tell the truth!"

On Juedu's fat head, sweat was pouring down, his face was glistening, his body was shaking, I stood up and said, "I'm leaving!" Juedu said, "Don't go, I told you." I said, "This is—" However, I only spoke a few words, and suddenly I heard the door of the suite behind me slamming. I immediately looked back and saw that the door was opened a crack, and at the same time, there was a "chi chi" sound. The sound was endless, and dozens of small needles flew forward all at once! When I saw this situation, I was shocked, and I quickly lay down on the ground, quickly grabbed the carpet, and rolled on the ground, wrapping my body tightly with the carpet.

When I was doing this action to protect myself at an extremely fast speed, I only heard footsteps, and a person rushed out of the door.But that person was obviously not Juedus, because after Juedus yelled, he had no sound. I heard that the man had already left the door, so I shrunk immediately and slid out from the carpet roll. I didn't have time to look at the vision doctor, so I jumped to the door, opened it, and looked left and right. However, the corridor was quiet, but there was no one there. I just turned around and looked at Juedus.As expected, Juedushi turned blue and died.His hand was still covering his face, and the back of his hand had three spikes.

I was in the room and couldn't help staying for a while. I am not afraid that the death of Curdos will expose me to police questioning, because no one will reveal that I have inquired about Curdos' room number.What amazes me is that the deadly poisonous needle has appeared more than once, and every time it appears, someone always dies, and those who die are all people related to Zhang Xiaolong's disappearance. I have been lucky (of course I was alert) to escape the poisonous needle attack twice, one was in the suburbs, behind Zhang Hailong’s villa, and the other was just now, the first-class carpet of the first-class hotel blocked the poisonous needle and saved me life.

However, can I escape the third attack of the poisonous needle? It's really hard for me to answer this question when I haven't even figured out what kind of person it is that shoots the poisonous needle.The person who fired the poisonous needle acted so mysteriously that even I felt defenseless. But now, at least some of the truth has been stripped away for me.I understand that whether it is Robert Yang, Liu Sen, Jue Dushi, or any captain, they are all losers who want to get Zhang Xiaolong but can't get it. They all died under the poisonous needle up. The person who issued the poisonous needle, or the main messenger of the person who issued the needle, is the person who has a direct relationship with Zhang Xiaolong's disappearance.

Things have come to this point, and it seems that things have become much more cheerful.But in fact, it is still a cloud of fog! Immediately, I went out the door, walked down the stairs, and quietly left the hotel. The murder in the hotel will naturally be discovered, but that has nothing to do with me anymore! After I got out of the hotel, I went to the developing shop, paid the price I promised, and took out the printed photos, but those photos were worthless.It's just the exterior of my home. I looked at it for a while and then put it in the bag. I felt it was necessary to meet Zhang Xiaojuan again, so I stopped a street car and headed for Zhang Hailong's residence.

I knew that after I did not allow Zhang Xiaojuan to meet Juduo Shi with me, this stubborn lady must be very angry with me, and there would definitely be an embarrassing argument when I met her. I was in the car, imagining how to word words after meeting Zhang Xiaojuan so that the proud lady would not be angry with me anymore. Not long after, the taxi stopped in front of a very gorgeous big bungalow. I got out of the car and looked up. That gorgeous big bungalow was very consistent with Zhang Hailong's identity. If I hadn't been quick and agile, I would have been knocked down by that car before I could dodge in time! I jumped out to the side, only to hear the car rushing about ten yards, and suddenly there was an extremely unpleasant sound of emergency braking.I quickly looked back and saw that the car was exactly the Rolls-Royce owned by Zhang Hailong. But at this time, the car door opened, Zhang Hailong almost fell out of the car, he didn't even stand firm, so he ran towards me. This kind of behavior of his does not match his age and status to the extreme! I subconsciously felt that there was another major change in Zhang Hailong.Therefore, before he came to me, I went up to him and held him up. I saw Zhang Hailong's face was pale and he couldn't stop panting, obviously he suffered a great blow to his nerves!After I supported him, I quickly said, "Mr. Zhang, calm down and take your time. There is always a way." Actually, I don't know what happened to Zhang Hailong at all.But my words can always have some soothing effect on anyone who is bewildered by nervous tension. Zhang Hailong's panting was not as rapid as before, but his complexion was still very pale. I said softly, "Mr. Zhang, what's the matter?" It wasn't until then that he was able to speak, and said: "Mr. Wei, I was looking for you. It's good, it's very bad, Xiaojuan... Xiaojuan..." He fell behind when he said this. Tears come! And the magnitude of the blow he suffered can also be seen from his incoherent speech.He said "that's great" because he met me.When he said "very bad", it was naturally referring to the things he encountered, and the things might have something to do with Zhang Xiaojuan. Because Zhang Xiaojuan and I broke up, it didn't take long, so for a while, I didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, so I hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, let's go in and talk about it." But Zhang Hailong said: "No, Mr. Wei, Xiaojuan has fallen into the hands of gangsters!" Just got it." With trembling hands, he took out a letter from his pocket. At this time, I began to feel the seriousness of the situation.I took the letter, only Zhang Hailong's name was typed on the envelope, the letter was written in English, and it was also typed with a typewriter, the wording was very polite, but behind the polite wording was a vicious threaten. The letter, translated into Chinese, reads as follows: "Mr. Zhang Hailong, your Excellency is highly respected and admirable. It is because of your continuous efforts throughout your life that you have achieved such achievements in society. Your life should be envied by people all over the world. We really do not want to be envied by your Excellency." In life, I have caused trouble for you, but we have to do so, I am really sorry. "Miss Ling Ai Xiaojuan, we have invited you here. We do not use this to ask you for any money. We only hope that you will inform us of your son's whereabouts. Then Ling Ai will return safely. "Don't call the police, otherwise, it will cause greater inconvenience to you." At the end of the letter, there is no signature.I watched it two or three times, and Zhang Hailong kept wiping his sweat beside me. After reading the letter, I said simply: "Mr. Zhang, you should call the police!" Zhang Hailong pointed to the last line and said: "No! No, Xiaojuan is in their hands!" I sighed and said: "Mr. Zhang, in the past few days, I have discovered that the disappearance of your son involves a lot, which I have never encountered before. Until now, I still have no clue, but I can tell For yours, at least four people have died because of it, including a wealthy Brazilian rich in smuggling and a dangerous criminal who trafficked people!" Zhang Hailong's complexion became even paler, and he said: "Will it be, will it be Xiaolong and Xiaojuan..." The old man's strong nerves obviously couldn't bear the blow at this time! I didn't tell him about Zhang Xiaojuan's sudden telepathy two days ago, feeling that Zhang Xiaolong was in a very painful situation.I just said vaguely: "I'm afraid it won't happen." He held my hand and said: "Mr. Wei, this is the first time I have lost my mind as a human being. I... put all my hopes on you. You... help me!" I know this is a heavy burden. But I also know that if I solve this matter for Zhang Hailong, then not only for myself, but also for myself.For many things I want to do (I have no ability to do these things), I can also use Zhang Hailong's strength to complete them. So, knowing that the task is difficult, I still nodded. Zhang Hailong trusted me very much, and when he saw me nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief. I flicked the letter paper and said, "It seems that the person who sent this letter didn't know that Xiaolong had been missing for three years. First, I'm going to see the person who sent the letter, but he didn't stay. How to get in touch." Zhang Hailong said: "Yes, the letter was received by the concierge. The person who delivered the letter said that if there is a reply, it can be sent to the teahouse on the top of the mountain." I couldn't help being surprised, and said: "The tea house on the top of the mountain? What does that mean?" Zhang Hailong said: "I don't know either." I put the letter into the envelope, and said: "I have a solution, without further delay, I'll go to the teahouse on the top of the mountain, Mr. Zhang, you'd better not panic!" Zhang Hailong smiled bitterly: "Everything depends on you!" I didn't say much, got into Zhang Hailong's car, told the driver, and drove to the top of the mountain.In less than ten minutes, I sat down on the wicker chair of the tea house on the top of the mountain. I ordered a cup of coffee and put the letter on the table.Zhang Hailong's name on the envelope is up, which means that I am the representative sent by Zhang Hailong. If the sender comes to listen to the reply, he can know it at a glance. I drank coffee slowly and looked down at the city at the foot of the mountain. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the big ship has become a toy model, and naturally no pedestrians can be seen, but the prosperity of the city can still be felt. It's hard to imagine that in such a prosperous and peaceful city on the surface, there are so many thrilling and various struggles hidden in the dark! Including me, there are only four guests in the tea room.There are two of them, who can be seen as a pair of lovers at a glance, head to head, chatting about love.The young lady was very young, but she imitated the grown-up impatiently and desperately, with nail polish, lipstick, painted eyes, and wearing golden shoes. Her body was like a cosmetics shop.Women are so strange, when they are fifteen to eighteen years old, they insist that they are twenty years old, but when they are thirty, they insist that they are nineteen years old. There is another one, a foreigner with a big beard, who is reading a thick novel.The atmosphere on the top of the mountain is so peaceful, it is indeed a good environment for reading. I also pretended to be very leisurely, and slowly sipped my coffee.After a while, I saw a foreigner with a very strong physique, a very young age, and a very handsome face. He walked into the tea room. He glanced around, and his eyes stopped on the envelope I put on the table. I immediately became nervous, but he kept coming to me with a smile on his face. He was honest and blunt. He pulled up the chair, sat down, and said, "Hello!" He speaks very pure Mandarin! I bowed and said, "Hello." He waved to the waiter and said, "Lemon tea." This time, he spoke very pure English.For a while, I couldn't figure out where he came from, so I just picked up the letter and knocked on the table. But he laughed and said, "I sent the letter. My name is Howard." Howard's outspokenness, and the seemingly unafraid smile on his face, made me feel like playing against him.It is more dangerous than Hejuedushi, I smiled lightly and said: "I was sent by Zhang Hailong." Howard nodded and said: "I know, Mr. Zhang's identity is inconvenient to come to see me, you—" I said, "My name is Wesley." I tried to conceal my name several times, but the result failed. So, this time, I don't hide my identity anymore. When Howard heard this, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said, "You...you are Wesley?" He said, showing a look of distrust on his face.I sneered and said, "If you think I'm a fake, that's your freedom." Howard laughed, and although he tried to make it sound natural, I could hear the strain in his laughter.He said: "It turns out that Mr. Wei is serving Mr. Zhang!" I said: "You can say that." Howard agreed with a "huh" in his mouth. Seeing his expression, he seemed to be thinking about something. After a minute, he bowed and said, "Mr. Wei, the letter You must have seen what you said?" With an angry look on my face, I said, "That's right, where is Zhang Xiaojuan, who was tied up by you with despicable means?" Howard said, "She's fine, fine, Mr. Wei doesn't need to worry." I smiled coldly: "Why do you want to know Zhang Xiaolong's whereabouts? Who are you?" A hesitant look appeared on Howard's face again, as if he was considering whether he should reveal his identity.He didn't think about it for long, and then said: "Mr. Wei, you don't need to understand this point, you just need to tell me the whereabouts of Zhang Xiaolong and the task entrusted to you, and it will be considered as completed!" I sneered and said, "You think so?" Howard stirred the lemon in the teacup, and said, "Exactly." While I was talking to him, I was also trying my best to think about Howard's origin in my heart. And I can only draw one conclusion, that is, Howard is paying attention to a new aspect of Zhang Xiaolong's whereabouts. Originally, at least four parties have been paying attention to Zhang Xiaolong's whereabouts, including me, Robert Young, and Juduo Shi , and the man who shot the poison needle. Now, Howard has been added.I don't know anything about the real identities of these people.Juedutu, Robert Yang and others are already dead.The person who puts poisonous needles to kill people is naturally the most vicious enemy, but I can't even catch his shadow. Only Howard is facing me. He is in front of me. I want to find out his identity. Not only can I use this to find out why the person who paid attention to Zhang Xiaolong's whereabouts is for, but also, I can also get Zhang Xiaojuan out of here earlier. rescued from his hands. He and I looked at each other, like looking at a spinning tiger before we started fighting. After a while, I said, "It's not as simple as you think, Mr. Howard!" Howard said, "Where is the complexity?" I said coldly, "First of all, I don't want to deal with a person who is so despicable that he kidnaps a woman who has no resistance. Instead, change someone else, your leader." see me!" Howard blushed, and said: "Yes, the methods I adopted can be described as despicable, but if you say that this young lady didn't resist, that's not necessarily the case!" As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves, exposed his forearm, and said, "Look!" I looked at his forearm, and saw two rows of red marks on his arm, which were obviously bitten, and the bite It won't be long. I imagined the scene of Zhang Xiaojuan biting someone fiercely, and I couldn't help laughing.Howard said again: "And, here, I am the leader." I sneered and said, "That's a great misfortune for your organization!" Howard was very sullen, and said: "What do you mean?" I leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair as much as possible, and said: "It turns out that the morality of the West has fallen to this level. Is killing a weak woman a means to win?" The scowl on Howard's face had reached an unstoppable stage. I was preparing for him to have an attack, but in an instant, the angry look on his face completely disappeared, and replaced by a very gloomy complexion. In my heart, I couldn't help but tremble. I deliberately angered Howard, but Howard was able to control his emotions so well! Since a person can control his emotions in this way, it can be concluded that he must also be an extremely foresight and meticulous person, that is to say, a very difficult opponent. After the anger disappeared from his face, he smiled at me and said: "I was almost irritated by you." I said: "But you didn't!" He suddenly looked at me with strange eyes, after a while, Then suddenly said: "Are you really Wesley? Really?" I couldn't help but smiled wryly.Because I once wanted to hide my name, but was called out as soon as I met.Now, I tell my name as soon as I meet, but some people don't believe me! I said coldly, "Do you want me to present my ID card?" Howard laughed "haha" and said, "No need, but as far as I know, Wesley is a legendary figure. It is impossible for his name to be associated with a billionaire." I don't know the origin of Howard, let alone what he meant by complimenting me in such a way, so I kept my 120,000 vigilance and just smiled coldly. Howard put his hands on the table and said, "Okay, let's get back to business, what is the whereabouts of Mr. Zhang Xiaolong?" I said, "I've already said that if you don't release Miss Zhang immediately, we will have to call the police!" Howard suddenly raised his right hand! As soon as he raised his right hand, I was suddenly taken aback. I immediately wanted to make a move, but he had already said in a deep voice, "Don't move!" I had no choice but to listen to him and sit obediently.Because, in Howard's palm, he was holding a very delicate pistol. That kind of pistol is only about two inches long, and can only hold one bullet, and the bullet is only one centimeter long.I believe that when he put his hand on the table, he had already pressed the pistol under the palm of his hand. I didn't notice it for a while, but he pointed the gun at me! That kind of gun is specially designed for assassination. It shoots at close range and can kill people immediately. Now, Howard and I are only separated by a table, so of course I dare not move around! On the one hand, I was secretly thinking about the way to escape, but on the other hand, I was also secretly celebrating.Howard used such a pistol as a weapon, so he must have nothing to do with the people who used poisonous needles one after another.The person who cast the poisonous needle was very vicious. I may not have a chance to escape, but now, Howard may not have the courage to shoot. He added: "Keep a smile on your face, don't look scared." As he spoke, he pressed the small gun under his palm, which was placed flat on the table. I knew that as long as he put a little pressure on his palm, the bullet could be fired, so I still didn't move, and, according to what he said, I smiled and said, "Okay, what do you want?" Howard said: "Who are you, your real name?" When I heard Howard ask me this, I couldn't help gasping. After talking for a long time, he still didn't believe that I was Wesley!At the same time, I was stunned for a moment, wondering why he didn't believe that I was Wesley?But, I can't get the point. Immediately, I changed my words: "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Si. I am an employee of Zhang Hailong Bank." Although Howard speaks Mandarin very fluently, he didn't know that "Zhang San Li Si" is a name that Chinese people don't actually choose, so he nodded and said: "This is much better, go back and tell Zhang Hailong , Concealing his son's whereabouts will do him no good at all!" If Zhang Hailong hears what Howard said, he will lose his temper, because in fact, Zhang Hailong may have trouble sleeping and eating for three years because of his son's disappearance! However, some people thought that he had concealed Zhang Xiaolong's disappearance. Howard said again: "You have to tell him that Zhang Xiaolong is a very dangerous person!" I said coldly: "As far as I know, Zhang Xiaolong is a scientist who is immersed in scientific research." Howard said: "The problem lies in the scientific research he is engaged in. He invented—" When he was talking here, he suddenly stopped and didn't go on talking. I was listening to him intently, but seeing him suddenly stop talking, I couldn't help feeling very depressed.But I pretended not to be interested in his conversation at all. After he stopped talking, he smiled at me and said: "So, you have to tell Zhang Hailong how he met me and tell him to contact me. I will wait for you here tomorrow!" I was thinking about how to answer him, but at this moment, I saw Howard's face suddenly changed, his eyes turned aside, and he looked over. I followed his gaze and saw an Indian man who was giving a sigh of relief. walked into the tea room.The Indian didn't pay attention to Howard, but Howard turned his head away so as not to be seen by the Indian. I noticed this situation, and felt very strange in my heart, but I didn't make a sound, just said: "I'm afraid you may be wrong, Mr. Zhang actually doesn't know the whereabouts of his son." Howard whispered: "You just do what I say!" He stood up as he said, and I immediately threw a bunch of copper spoons for stirring the coffee, and the copper spoons slid across the table, "Bu" With a bang, it hit the back of Howard's right hand! That impact was hard to say, Howard loosened his five fingers, and the gun he was holding fell to the ground with a "slap". He quickly bent over to pick it up, but I was one step ahead of him! As soon as he leaned over, I had already snatched the gun into my hand, I pushed my fingers, unloaded the bullet, threw it out, fell into the flowers, and then returned the gun to him, saying: "Sir, You fell something!" When Howard had to reach out to take the pistol, he had an embarrassing look on his face, which was hard to describe in any words.He took the pistol, and after a while, he said, "Okay! Okay!" I smiled and said, "Not bad. Not bad is good." Howard glared at me angrily and left in a hurry.I thought of following him, but I gave up following him after I cast a glance at the Indian. Because the Indian looked at Howard's back with a terrifying look on his face. When the Indian entered the tea room, Howard avoided meeting him. Now, the Indian had such a strange look on his face, which made me believe beyond doubt that Howard knew the Indian. Moreover, judging by their expressions, the two of them seem to have some troubles. I can easily find out about Howard's origin from the mouth of the Indian. I watched Howard get into the car and galloped away before I walked up to the Indian and sat down honestly.The Indian was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled and said, "Which smuggler is going to be unlucky again? It has nothing to do with me!" The Indian's words came without thinking, and I was even more baffled!For a moment, I almost suspected that the Indian was insane and talking nonsense! However, when I thought about it again, I felt that there seemed to be some truth hidden in the Indian's words, so I said in a deep voice, "It has nothing to do with you?" The Indian hurriedly said: "Of course, I am now a legitimate businessman. A silk and satin shop!" I sneered and said, "What about before?" The Indian smiled awkwardly, and said, "Of course you already know, I used to take part in the work of transporting gold to India..." I couldn't help laughing in my heart, I never thought that I would accidentally meet a gold privateer.Smuggling gold to India is the second best business in the smuggling industry after smuggling heroin into the United States. However, I couldn't help but have doubts again.The Indian in front of him was once a gold smuggler, so who is Howard? As I was thinking about it, the Indian said: "I'm not doing it now, if I do it again, Mr. Howard, will he let me go?" I leaned forward and whispered: "Who is he? "The Indian said with an extremely surprised look on his face: "One year earlier, he was a person in charge of the international anti-smuggling force. Now, I heard that he has been transferred to the international police to serve as a—" When the Indian said this, he suddenly came to his senses, stopped talking immediately, and said, "Why don't you know his identity when you're with him?" I smiled at him and said, "Now I know, thank you!"
