Chapter 19 Section 7 Dumbfounding Exposure

After dawn, we set off. I walked in front, and crabs walked more than ten meters behind, and behind the crabs, I don’t know which thief was walking. There are many more pedestrians on the street than in the past few days, and the taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger. Some impatient shops have posted red couplets to celebrate the Spring Festival. Couples of lovers walked by me, talking and laughing. Yan, in the air, there is a smell of chestnuts fried in sugar. I came to the door of an electrical appliance supermarket, looked inside, and saw a crowd of people. This is the golden season for discounts and promotions, and customers are surging.

I was worried that the crab would let me walk in here, so I walked a few steps and walked past the supermarket door.Unexpectedly, the crab caught up from behind, and he asked, "Why don't you go in with such a good business?" I had an idea and said, "There are a few security guards there who caught me before and beat me badly. I was scared when I got there." It’s hard for the crab to say anything else, he walked beside me, muttering in his mouth: “These days are prime time, I need to get some goods, and have a good year.” Crab walked a few steps closely and followed a girl. The girl was carrying a backpack, wearing leather boots, low-waisted pants, and a short cotton coat. There was a touch of white on her belly. She looked youthful and beautiful. .The crab pretended to bump into the girl unintentionally, and gently brushed the girl's waist, buttocks, and chest with his fingers. He looked into the distance with a nonchalant expression on his face.When I walked over, the crab whispered to me: "There are no skylights, platforms, or tunnels, so it must be in the backpack. This girl is an imported perfume. I don't know whose horse is it. There must be goods." "Mazi" is also a slang term , which means lover.

I was forced to get behind the girl, thinking nervously how to tell the girl that she had been targeted by thieves.With the backpack on your back, it's just a matter of lifting your hands to remove the contents. This is one of the most basic lessons in a thief's basic training.As long as you are a thief who is just getting started, you can handle this kind of backpack. I walked up to the front of the girl and stared back at her fiercely. The girl was taken aback, cursed a word, turned her head away, and then moved the backpack from the back to the front.I felt a burst of joy, the girl was quite cooperative.

I waited until the crab came over, and said disappointedly: "Oh, how could this be? This woman is a cunt." The crab said angrily: "Why the hell are you running to the front? Why don't you just start from behind." I said, "That woman is so beautiful, I want to take another look from the front." The crab said: "You fucking pervert, what's the use of seeing? If you have money, you can play as beautiful as you want." I took out a cigarette, lit it for the crab, and sat with him on the curb by the roadside, trying to unravel some doubts from his mouth.

I asked: "In the police station, how do you know that I am a colleague?" The crab said: "Just looking at you, you really don't look like it. Those who work in our business are full of elves, and you can tell it at a glance. You are fucking stupid and unresponsive. You can't eat this bowl of rice at first sight." I said with regret: "I haven't been in this business for a long time, and I have never worshiped a master before." The crab said: "You didn't have a teacher, so you dare to go out into the rivers and lakes? You are too courageous, and you don't know where the boat capsized. However, you are honest and reliable, and the boss likes it very much."

I asked: "Who is the boss? Why haven't I seen it?" Crab realized that he had slipped his mouth, and quickly changed his words: "In the police station, no one told me that I really haven't regarded you as a colleague." I asked: "Who told you? You came in earlier than me." The crab said, "Remember that billiards? That's the code." I suddenly remembered that when I just walked into the detention room, someone rolled the billiards into the corridor and was taken away by the auxiliary police.I asked, "What happened to billiards?" The crab said, "That's the secret signal we agreed upon. When I saw billiards, I knew it was you."

I asked again: "Then you are waiting for me at the police station?" The crab said: "I didn't want to tell you so much, but these days I see that you are a loyal and reliable person, so I will tell you. I came to the police station first, just to wait for you." I asked, "Then how did you get in?" The crab said: "Get the goods." I asked curiously, "You don't worry about people beating you half to death, and you don't call the police." Crab smiled triumphantly and said, "Why are you so stupid? It was all set up by us. I took ours, and our people called the police. The police can't find any evidence. They will be locked up for 24 hours at most, and then they will be released."

I was terrified in my heart. The traps designed by these thieves were seamless, making it impossible to guard against. The crab continued: "At the beginning, I doubted that you were Lei Zi, but after seeing that you are doing well, I wanted to make you my friend." I deliberately smiled and said: "I also think you are a good person. You see, when we first came out of the police station, you took the hundreds of dollars, and I didn't tell anyone." Crab's face suddenly changed drastically. He looked around and said nervously, "My good grandpa, you can't tell anyone!"

I am secretly happy. I asked the crab: "Where does the boss live?" The crab didn't want to say more, only that I had seen it.I asked who it was, was it the lame wolf, and the crab said, "Anyway, you've seen it before. You can't say a single word about the boss. When you reach the father's level, you will naturally know the boss." I don't want to steal a penny in this gang, of course I won't be promoted to the father's generation, but I want to meet the boss, what can I do? I couldn't get any more words out of the crab's mouth, so I stood up and walked on.After walking a few steps, a colleague came across from me. He looked at me with a smile and asked, "Brother Li, how much did you pay for the year-end bonus?"

I was so startled that I quickly turned my head away, pretending not to recognize him.My heart was full of turmoil, but my face was as if nothing had happened, I scolded this fool fiercely in my heart: "Get out of here!" This colleague didn't even know me. He walked up to me, grabbed my shoulder and asked, "Brother Li, what's wrong with you? Are you ignoring me?" I glanced at him indifferently, and walked forward without stopping. He stopped, and I vaguely heard him scolding, "What's so awesome". After walking tens of meters, the crab caught up with me, and his eyes came to my face and asked, "What on earth are you doing?"

I looked at him pretending to be very angry: "What do you say I do?" Crab gritted his teeth and cursed: "What the hell are you doing? Tell me! Our brothers are all around here, and you can't escape if you want to." I said coldly, "What do you do, that's what I do." Crab pressed on: "Then why do you have a year-end bonus? Are you a policeman?" I said lightly, "Police? Thanks to your imagination, the police are all on holiday now. If so, I would have gone home and waited for the New Year's Eve dinner." Crab said in a strong tone: "Your surname is Li, you are a policeman, and you are an undercover agent." His eyes were like a gleaming dagger. I looked to both sides and saw two men who seemed to be looking at this side casually, and when they met my eyes, they quickly avoided.I don't know those two men. I said, "He fucking admitted the wrong person. I'm not Brother Li as he said." Crab still doesn't believe it.I told him about the overwhelming imitation shows on TV that year. Some people not only had similar appearances, but also had similar voices and demeanors. There were dozens of people who only resembled Zhao Benshan on TV, but none of them appeared on TV. , and thousands more. It was only later that I found out that when I was explaining to the crab, the person who was following me had already called the boss, and the boss sent someone to keep a close eye on my colleague who was as stupid as a pig to see where he was going.If he goes to the police station, the thieves will suspect that I am a policeman; if he goes to the newspaper office, the thieves will suspect that I am a reporter. At the time, my life was hanging by a thread, and I didn't know it. When the crab was questioning me, his phone rang. He hummed to the phone for a while, and suddenly his attitude became better to me. He said with a smile: "Brother, there is something urgent, go quickly." I deliberately pretended to be wronged and said, "I won't go, I feel wronged and wronged." Crab's face turned into a dog's tail flower, and he said to me like a corrupt official with two faces and three swords: "You must have a sense of the overall situation, for the collective benefit, and abandon personal grievances. Now is your time to show." I asked: "What's the matter?" Gritting his teeth, the crab said with a ferocious face, "A group of thieves have come to our territory, and they are driving these sons of bitches away." Like thieves and hooligans, they both have their own territory, and other gangs cannot cross the line. If someone breaks the rules, they will fight each other. I secretly rejoiced that I would be relieved if I fought with other thieves without stealing anything; however, I was a little confused about how many people there were, whether they had weapons, and whether they could win.Besides, this is a dog-eat-dog war, so what does it have to do with me. However, I can not not go. I followed the crab, and there may be others behind me. The thieves on this street were all converging on the place of the fight.Thinking that a fight was about to take place, my blood was surging, and my hormones were rushing left and right, looking for an outlet to vent.It is a refreshing thing to be able to fight with thieves happily, and it is a group fight. When I came to a construction site, the crab continued to walk towards the stairs. I saw a steel bar more than a foot long on the ground, so I picked it up secretly and hid it in my sleeve.With the weapon in hand, I felt like a samurai in a duel, full of pride and fear of death. Following the crab to the empty hall on the third floor, I saw two groups of people standing against the walls on both sides, seven on one side and three on the other, all empty-handed.The crab walked up to the three people, and one of them asked, "Is there anyone else?" The crab said, "There is one more, and I'll be there soon." It must be someone spying on me. The six people here are standing separately, and the seven people over there are also scattered to the two sides. The person standing in the middle may be the leader.The leader here is a man in his thirties, short and thin. I later learned that his name is Monkey.The monkey shouted loudly: "Why did you cross the border and work on our land?" Standing in the middle of the opponent was a man in his 40s. He shouted, "What is your territory? This territory was ours before, and it should be ours now. Why did you take it away?" The monkey said: "We just took it away, what's the matter? It's ours now, come and take it if you can." The man didn't pick up the conversation, he turned his head to arrange the combat mission: "One for each person, two for the big man, bloodletting as soon as we meet, don't show mercy." I was terrified when I heard that, the big man he was talking about was me, and I was at least half a head taller than these thieves. I saw the two thieves on the opposite side standing with their hands down. The index and middle fingers of their right hands were put together, with a surgical blade in between, shining brightly.Knowing that these long-trained thieves are extremely fast and extremely ruthless, I nervously pondered what to do. The man in his 40s on the opposite side shouted: "Go." The monkey on the other side also responded: "Kill." The thieves on both sides rushed to the open space in the middle and strangled together like two tides.Instead of rushing forward, I turned around and ran, and two thieves chased after me. I stretched my hands to my chest while running, and pulled out a steel bar more than a foot long from the left sleeve. I turned around suddenly, and the thief who was rushing in front was caught off guard. I picked up the steel bar and smashed it on the astonished face, and I saw the blood blooming beautifully like fireworks. The thief in front let out a cry, as if he suddenly understood, and fell down heavily.The thief behind was panicked, turned around and ran away like a mouse sneaking into the street.I chased after him a few steps, yelled, and swung the steel bar. He dodged, and the steel bar hit his shoulder, making a dull sound. He staggered and finally fell down reluctantly. One inch is long, one inch is strong; one inch is short, one inch is dangerous. Holding a steel bar in my hand, I rushed into the battle group, and I would kill anyone I saw, no matter who they were from, I only knew that these people were thieves.When I just chopped down one and picked up the steel bar again, I heard the scolding of the crab: "You are fucking crazy, even I will beat you." The people on both sides stopped. They looked at me holding the steel bar with indescribable expressions on their faces. The other man in his 40s said: "Okay, you guys are used, so don't blame us for not talking about Jianghu affection. See you in the woods tomorrow afternoon." Like the heroes in the movie, the exaggerated actions make people laugh.The three healthy ones in the back supported the three fallen ones, matching each other just right, one not too much, one not too little, and they also meandered out. After the other party left, the monkey asked the crab angrily: "This is your subordinate? Why don't you even understand the rules? Where did the steel bars come from?" He pointed at me. I said, "I picked it up downstairs." Monkey said solemnly: "We only use fists to fight, and blades at most. Who approved you to use dicks? Using dicks, what is the difference from local hooligans?" I laughed secretly in my heart, thieves actually think they are a class higher than local hooligans. There is a way to steal! At dusk that day, the crab told me: "Someone from the superior wants to see me." I asked who it was, and he said, "You'll know when you get there." The crab took me to a hotel and entered a private room. There were three people sitting in the private room, except for the lame wolf, the middle-aged man who took the centipede out of the juvenile rescue station, and an old man.There are several dishes on the table in front of you.The old man's face was pale and pale, with a long beard fluttering gently, and he was quite fairy-like.After the crab sent me in, he said cautiously: "Then I'm going out." The middle-aged man made a gesture of inviting me out, and the crab closed the door with him, and went out quietly. Who is this old man?I've never seen it before. I don't know why they brought me here, what is it for?I felt faintly uneasy. The old man invited me to take a seat, and then asked me about my situation with a pleasant smile, how old I was, whether I had a family, and whether I could adapt to life here.I said that I used to be like a lonely ghost, but now that I come here, it's like returning to a big family, and I feel warm and caring all the time.My well-behaved answer satisfied the old man. He combed his beard with his fingers and looked at me cheerfully. He said: "Young people, work hard and have a bright future." The old man asked again about my conflict with another gang this morning, and let me give my opinion.I said, states have borders, cities have walls, sovereignty must be contested, and an inch of land must not be conceded.We must also safeguard our sovereignty and fight to the end for our own interests.In fact, I was thinking in my heart, wishing that these bull ghosts, snake gods, kings and eight lambs would kill each other, and all of them would die. The lame wolf and the middle-aged man respected the old man, logically speaking, the old man should be the boss, but the crab told me that I had met the boss before.If the crab is right, who is this old man?If the crab is wrong, is this old man the boss? If this old man is the real boss, why is he willing to condescend to meet me?Could it be that I became famous in the gang?Or is there another reason? It was only later that I found out that my colleague was followed all the way, and the thieves followed him all the way to his home. Thanks to the newspaper office being on holiday at that time, he didn't go to the newspaper office. If he went to the newspaper office, my life would be in danger. As a result, the gang of thieves believed more and more that I was a loyal minion.
