The dog traitor was depressed, more depressed than ever before. He told Su Qing and Hu Yi nothing about what happened to him. He was not good at talking, and people who were good at talking could not be good traitors. What's more, he was destined to be lonely and had no one to talk to. Only the dice could understand his heart.
His world is surrounded by fog, and he has to figure out the direction and choose his own path.
The day dawned again, and he appeared on the dirty street again, wearing his usual black clothes, leaning decadently against the slightly crooked electric pole on the street, but without his small sunglasses. He held the sunglasses in his hand and looked at them, and the lenses were broken.
All this is by no means accidental. Maeda is confident, as if he is in control of everything, and unexpectedly spared his life. The Eighth Route Army soldier Hu Yi and the spy Su Qing are still living well in the doghouse, which shows that Maeda has never suspected or followed him. Maeda only controls the commandos!
The traitor raised his head and the cigarette seller appeared from the nearby corner. He saw the traitor leaning against the electric pole and looking at him, so he came over with a smile as usual: "Would you like a pack of the old brand?"
The traitor did not smile as usual, but just stared at the cigarette selling boy, watching the smile on that dirty face disappear little by little, until in the end he just blinked at him unnaturally.
"Little bastard, I can kill you right now, and no one dares to even look at your corpse, but I don't want to let you go so easily. From today on, you, your brother, and your poor parents will never be able to find any work, never be able to do any business, and never be able to leave the city. You can only beggars. I will watch you here until your whole family starves to death in the city."
The calmer the tone, the more biting the words were, as cold as this dirty street.
The cigarette vendor knelt down before the traitor. The tattered patches on his knees were so hard that he felt no pain even when he knelt on the hard ground. The cigarette stand hanging around his neck seemed like a heavy yoke, shaking with the trembling of his thin body. "I was wrong. Captain Li, I was wrong. Please don't punish my brother and my parents! I beg you! He knows you always buy cigarettes from me, and he said that if he finds anything strange about you, he can tell him and he can get one dollar in exchange. So I told him about you secretly asking me to get poison."
"You ungrateful little bastard! I gave you so much money, not to mention the money, how much have you given me since we met? Hmm? You couldn't even stop him from giving you a dollar? You still have the nerve to carry a broken cigarette stand around the street to do business? Do you know how to do the math?"
"I'm not ungrateful, nor am I after that dollar." The cigarette-selling boy kneeling on the ground lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "Who told you that you were from the detective team? I thought he was an Eighth Route Army soldier."
""
The dog traitor felt dizzy when he heard this. He thought, is this traitor too successful or too unsuccessful? This idiot wants to find the Eighth Route Army? The Eighth Route Army is living in my traitor's house right now! What a hell of a world! Life is so tiring!
"who is he?"
"The owner of the coffin shop on South Street."
"You sold him out again so easily? Where's your righteousness, little bastard? Huh?"
The cigarette seller didn't dare to answer and just knelt down obediently. The traitor leaned over slightly, picked up a pack of the most expensive cigarettes from the cigarette rack, and waved it in front of the child: "Isn't this enough for you as compensation?"
The child didn't expect the traitor to let him go just by giving him a pack of cigarettes. He nodded excitedly: "Will you buy cigarettes from me next time?"
"You little brat, do you still have some shame? Do you still have the nerve to see me again?"
"The kiln where my father worked in the factory just collapsed." The child begged.
"All right."
Inside the city of Meixian, on South Street, there was a coffin shop with its door closed. A few policemen with cold eyes stood outside the door, and passers-by walked away from it.
Inside the coffin shop, the shopkeeper's body was covered in blood, obviously having died from torture. Li Youcai was also there, washing his bloody hands in a basin. He casually grabbed a towel and wiped them while walking out of the shop.
Two things were proven: first, Lin Xiu had nothing to do with this; second, someone in the Rangers knew that Lin Xiu was close to Li Youcai, and thus guessed the possible use of the poison obtained by Li Youcai. This made Li Youcai feel relieved and felt much better, at least Lin Xiu was still Lin Xiu.
Now he realized that the biggest obstacle that prevented him from getting out of the fog was Lin Xiu. After eliminating Lin Xiu's suspicion, he became himself again, the sniffing, low-key and smart dog. Although the whole mystery still had no answer, at least he knew the direction and had his own guess. The dog traitor was completely different from Su Qing. He did not need evidence, just judgment, without scruples.
When Li Weiba saw him coming out, he threw away his cigarette butt and waved to the policemen: "Now it's time to go in and check the crime scene." Then he walked to Li Youcai and asked in a low voice: "Any clues?"
Li Youcai stood on the street, frowned deeply and looked at the building opposite, shook his head and asked, "Has your police force been asked by Maeda to hold a meeting recently?"
Li Weiba was surprised: "Tomorrow night. How did you know?"
"Because the detective team will also have a meeting tomorrow night."
"The detective team is also holding a meeting? Is there any connection?"
"The Rangers are finished. Completely and utterly finished. No matter their thugs or their backers, they will be wiped out before dawn the day after tomorrow."
The traitor looked up at the sky. It was a nice day with no wind or clouds, but he was not in a good mood at all. He had not finished the choice in his mind until now. Perhaps this was the last choice. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind and turned to face the person next to him who was still full of questions: "Tail, Second Brother wants to ask you for a favor. I want to see..."
"Please? Second brother, this is the first time I've heard you say this word to me in my life! Do you want to scare me to death?"
Li Youcai smiled, raised his hand to straighten the police hat of Li Weiwei in front of him, and brushed off the dust on the shoulders of his black police uniform. "It's because I, your second brother, am so poor that I don't even have anyone I can trust, so I can only cheat you."
In Xinglong Town, in an inconspicuous house.
Lin Xiu unnaturally took back the hand that the man was holding: "No one here will know, you should heal your wounds here before leaving."
The man touched the gauze on the wound on his ear and replied with a smile: "We have been through all the storms, so this little injury doesn't need to be healed. I have been exposed and have to return to the provincial capital early. The deputy captain is capable enough to replace me."
"He is too reckless! I was originally..."
"Do you still think that Li Youcai is worth fighting for? Haven't you figured it out yet? After I'm poisoned to death, he won't have to complete your commission anymore! Do you see what kind of person he is now? How can a dog change its nature to eat shit?"
Lin Xiu was speechless for a long time before she whispered, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ignored your advice. I thought he..."
The man grabbed Lin Xiu's hand and said, "Don't talk about this. It's all over. I don't care whether I live or die. Let's talk about something happy. I want to take you with me this time. We have to leave today. I have already made arrangements."
Lin Xiu didn't expect that he was going to take her back to the superior's place. She couldn't help but raise her beautiful face to face him, and happened to meet his fiery gaze.
The door was pushed open at this moment: "You must follow me now"
The traitor only said half of his words, and then stood blankly at the door, staring blankly at Lin Xiu who had his hands clasped together, and the ranger captain who also stared blankly at him who broke into the door.
Did time freeze? Actually, it wasn't. The three of them just didn't move or speak for several seconds, which seemed like centuries. Then the ranger captain's face turned cold, and then Lin Xiu's face also turned cold: "How do you know this place?"
Li Youcai had secretly followed Lin Xiu and knew all of Lin Xiu's details. He came to Xinglong Town. Maeda spared his life but failed to change Li Youcai's heart for Lin Xiu. He took the risk to pull Lin Xiu out of the conspiracy. He searched all the possible locations of Lin Xiu and met here. Unfortunately, it was not two people who met, but three people.
He was no longer interested in answering Lin Xiu's questions. He just stared quietly at the captain's cold eyes. His intelligence was gone and there was only endless blankness in his mind. So the scene continued to be quiet.
"Why are you not talking? Are you here to arrest me yourself? I never thought you could be so vicious!"
The word "vicious" made Li Youcai turn to look at Lin Xiu, but he still didn't know what to say. He just felt his chest getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that he could hardly breathe. He could not feel his heart beating, only an endless surge that hit his chest and turned into pain.
"I don't regret what I did at all! From the day you met me, I have clearly told you who I am. Of course I am vicious! Then why did you come to me? Yes, I regret not being able to poison him, and now I regret it even more! I originally planned to quietly deal with all your subordinates and cut off all ties between you and the commandos, hoping that you would become a real traitor's wife."
Every word he said was clear and distinct. The traitor's words were not only cold but also solemn, which fully confirmed the evaluation of the word "vicious" and stunned Lin Xiu.
The scene was silent again. The captain had let go of Lin Xiu's hand at some point and was moving his right hand slowly and secretly behind his waist.
Draw your gun! The captain suddenly drew his gun, pointed the muzzle at the traitor, and pulled the trigger, but the gun did not fire. He forgot that he was just sorting the bullets and forgot that the bullets were in his pocket.
Draw your gun! The traitor immediately drew his gun, pointed it directly at the surprised captain, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
There was a bang and the room shook, followed by a faint smell of gunpowder.
The smoke coming out of it was not from the traitor's gun, but from the exquisite little pistol in Lin Xiu's hand.
The muzzle of the dog traitor's gun drooped limply. He lowered his head and looked at the bullet hole that had begun to ooze blood. Then he raised his face and smiled at Lin Xiu. His smile was as bright and sunny as when they met on the street. He was still himself, the shameless lackey, and no longer the vicious traitor just now.
Captain Biedong grabbed Lin Xiu, who was in a daze, and said, "Let's go now! We can't delay any longer!"
Two miles south of Xinglong Town, there is an isolated, dilapidated yard on the side of the road. Inside the yard is an abandoned livestock shed and a dilapidated house. There is a tattered sign hanging in the yard, and the words "carriage and horse" can be vaguely made out.
Originally this place was deserted, but now there are three people playing cards here and a mule cart is parked in the yard.
A man and a woman hurried out of Xinglong Town, headed south, and then walked into the yard on the side of the road.
"Now go."
The three card players stood up, one went to untie the mule cart, and the other two frowned at the woman behind the man: "What's wrong with her?"
"I have to take her with me."
"no!"
"Why?"
"Because Commander Maeda's order is that you can go alone!"
The man was the special forces captain, and the woman was of course Lin Xiu. Even when she was dragged into the yard, Lin Xiu was still in a state of disorientation. There was nothing in her mind, only the traitor's face smiling at her, blocking all vision. Now, her blank mind was added with hearing, and a sentence echoed: Commander Maeda's order is that only you can go! Commander Maeda's order is
She turned around like an idiot and looked at the pillar of the country. She suddenly understood that this was how the dog traitor felt when he saw her just now. This was how the dog traitor felt!
Captain Biedong didn't expect that the three responders would be so straightforward. He looked at Lin Xiu blankly. This meant that Lin Xiu couldn't live! A man had already stood behind Lin Xiu, with a gun pointed at him.
The mule cart had been pulled out of the yard. One of them jumped on the shaft to drive the cart, while the other impatiently pulled the captain of the other team and said, "Hurry up, it's a long way to the provincial capital. Don't worry, she won't talk anymore."
The mule cart was on the road. Lin Xiu stood in the broken yard. She wanted to smile like a traitor, but she couldn't do it. She couldn't do it after countless attempts. The muzzle of a gun suddenly hit her back. The person who stayed behind urged her comfortably: "Don't look at your lover anymore! Come to the room and rest for a while. I will be your lover, and then I will send you, a beautiful girl, on the road. Hurry up! What? Can't scare you? Then we can do it under the sun!"
The gunman grabbed Lin Xiu's clothes and tried to tear them off, but suddenly he heard the sound of a motorcycle engine on the road, which stopped him. He squinted at the road outside the yard and saw a motorcycle coming from the north and driving directly into the yard. The policeman on the motorcycle jumped off with a grin on his face: "Hey, I just heard from the town police that there is a detective team stationed at this point in the south. What are you doing?"
The gunman smiled frivolously: "Officer Li? How come you, a great Bodhisattva from the city, came to visit our little temple?"
"Isn't this just driving practice? Forget about your Xinglong Town, I wish I could run directly to the provincial capital!" Li Weiba swayed to the side of the gunman and stared at Lin Xiu, who was standing in the yard like a soulless zombie, with a look of indignation on his face: "What's going on? You are really good!"
The gunman was just thinking about whether he should offer Officer Li a share of the spoils as a reward when he suddenly felt a chill on his lower back, as if a dagger had entered his body.
"Sorry, I'm late. Are you okay?" Li Weiba didn't understand why Lin Xiu was like a fool who had lost his soul. He didn't move or talk. So he got to the point and took out an ID from his pocket. At the same time, he took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Lin Xiu's hand: "This is a new ID with a backing. Don't say you are Lin Xiu anymore, and don't come to Meixian anymore. Hurry up and leave."
"Did you hear that? Hey? By the way, where's my second brother? Why didn't he come over?"
"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask. If you don't want to kill me, leave now and don't leave your fly face on the side of the road."
Li Weiba said nothing more, dragged the body from the ground to the wilderness, and after a while, he patted the leaves and grass on his body, but found that Lin Xiu had fainted on the spot, unconscious.
"Oh my god! Do I have to give you a ride? Hey, second brother, I'm doing this for your sake!"
Li Weiba muttered to himself, and reluctantly dragged Lin Xiu into the motorcycle's sidecar. He then went back into the dilapidated house, tore down a large curtain, and covered the unconscious person curled up in the sidecar. The engine started to roar again.
