"Eight thousand dollars is better than none at all."
Sheyan started the conversation with this sentence.
The woman sitting in front of him seemed to be of Russian descent, called Hosina, and she was very thin.
This woman has thin lips, pale cheeks, and a black bowler hat with a circle of translucent gauze, which can subtly cover most of her face. If you ignore the dense crow's feet around the eyes and the pale and loose skin If this is the case, Fang Sheyan has to admit that if this woman is ten years younger, she does have the capital to rely on her body in exchange for a job.
In general, Sheyan felt that she was a widow, the kind of widow who wanted to save face even though she was poor.
However, the woman's reaction was very strange. She didn't give any targeted answer at the first time, but started to eat. Judging by her appearance, it seemed that she hadn't eaten for several meals. It wasn't until she ate the food for two that she sighed comfortably and said:
"Surprised? Yes, I'm in a bad situation. I haven't eaten in two meals because—"
Having said that, Hosina raised her arms and rolled up her sleeves, revealing the needle holes on them:
"I'm on drugs, and the reason I'm on drugs is to fend off the goddamn pain of terminal cancer."
Sheyan raised his eyebrows, not knowing what to say for a moment. On the contrary, Hosina showed a smile that didn't care about anything and said:
"So you can rest assured, because for a person who is about to die, there will be no hidden thoughts of keeping a hand."
Sheyan smiled and said:
"So what's your asking price?"
Hosina said:
"The doctor said I still have six months to go. I hope I can eat enough for these six months, and then have enough money to buy medicines so that I don't suffer from severe pain. This money must be more than nine thousand dollars, but it is also It won't be an outrageous number, one hundred thousand dollars, this is my bottom line, if you refuse me, then I will inject all the remaining materials into my veins at once, and I don't want to be bullied by this damn world again tortured."
Fang Senyan ordered a box, and he simply took out fifty thousand dollars from the suitcase beside him and threw it in front of her, then said flatly:
"This is an advance payment. When I am sure that what you said is true, then I will give you the remaining balance."
Hosina glanced at the money that had been dropped on the table with that indifferent look, and instead of reaching out eagerly to get it, she asked Sheyan for a cigarette, took a deep breath, and began her story...
It was a cloudy and rainy day, so cold that it seemed to go to the bone marrow. That old pervert Didi actually fucked me once in such weather. We had just finished when someone knocked on the door of the diagnosis room.
It was a middle-aged man with an aquiline nose, and he looked very sinister. As soon as he entered the door, he let me out and closed the door-this is a trick used by many salesmen, and my mother has seen it too much.
Usually, Didi would receive a red envelope next, but before the red envelope was handed over to his tigress, it usually had to go through my hands first. So I went out and closed the door on the surface, but in fact I was closely monitoring the movement in the consulting room next to me.
The middle-aged man sat in front of Didi's desk, then reached into the briefcase, and what he took out was a stack of money without any suspense.
A wad of money!
At that time, I still felt in my heart that this guy should want to get a big order, but what he said subverted my cognition.
"Mr. Didi, I hope to get a list of patients who need heart surgery in the hospital. The more serious the condition, the better."
For the sake of dollars, Didi was very cooperative and provided a list. The last person chosen by the middle-aged man believes you know it too, Nicholas.
The only reason this guy was selected was that Nicholas' condition was too severe, but his desire to survive was also very strong. Even though he knew that the operation had only a 30% chance of prolonging his life, he still insisted on doing it.
Because of this, even Nicholas himself believed that it was not surprising to die on the operating table, so that person persuaded Didi to conduct an experiment on Nicholas, as if to test the latest developed by their company. Pacemaker, then even if something happens, other people just think that Nicholas deserves to die, and don't think much about other places.
Of course, that guy paid Diddy another big buck for it.
Needless to say what happened later, a miracle happened, Nicholas recovered, and Didi's reputation rose, but occasional miracles could not cover up his poor medical skills, and eventually he retired early.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the hooked nose never appeared again.
…
Hosina's words came to an abrupt end here, and she finally provided a huge puzzle piece, which made the whole incident clear.
Sheyan stared at Hosina at this moment, and said calmly:
"You still have something very important to say."
Hosina said calmly:
"I only got half the money."
Fang Sheyan smiled, and threw the remaining money on the table. Hosina stretched out her thin fingers like bamboo branches, but nimbly pointed at the banknotes, and finally said:
"The man with the hooked nose claimed to be Dolittle. His pale face must have been caused by coronary heart disease, and he walked with a limp. His right foot was disabled, and he must have had polio."
The facial signs of coronary heart disease are very obvious, and it is not unusual for Hosina to be able to spot them at a glance. As for the second point, as long as she is a normal person, she can be sure.
Sheyan looked at his palm and said:
"no yet?"
A look of fear flashed in Hosina's eyes, but she was also dying, and she didn't care about anything, so she gritted her teeth and said:
"That man named Dolittle possesses terrifying power."
Sheyan immediately became interested:
"What do you think."
Hosina asked for another cigarette, smoked it slowly, and said slowly after a while:
"I saw that Dolittle must be a very rich man, so after he gave Didi the money, he waited for him at the hospital gate."
Speaking of this, Hosina smiled bitterly at herself. Of course Sheyan knew that this ambitious woman must want to half-threat and half-collude with this rich man. This is actually nothing special, everyone has their own way of life, Hosina Is it wrong to try to climb up
"It was raining that day. When I was going downstairs, I was blocked by someone. As a result, I didn't catch up with him when I left the hospital. I watched this guy get into a taxi, but there happened to be a taxi passing by... I am a very stubborn person, and what I wanted to say to Dolittle could not be said in public, so I asked the taxi in front to follow him."
"After driving about half of Los Angeles, Dolittle got off the car in a small street. He was about fifty or sixty meters away from me. I guessed that even if I called him, I might not be able to hear him. I watched him turn into the small street next to me. After entering the alley, they were surrounded by a group of people, the group was the FBI, and then... those FBIs were all dead in just a few seconds! I saw strange lights intertwined, weaving into a terrifying The net flew by, and all of them were cut into pieces as if they had been cut by random knives!"
Hearing Hosina's words, Fang Sheyan suddenly lost his composure and stood up. The Terminator is definitely not capable of mutilating a group of FBI elites in a few seconds. The only explanation is the contractor.
And it's a very powerful contractor!
How could Sheyan not be surprised that this matter involved the contractor again in the end, and more importantly, if this mysterious, weird, but rewarding task has other contractors participating in it, then It's not a question of who eats meat and who drinks soup, it's a question of pawning your pants!
But Sheyan thought again at this time, Hosina had encountered this incident for several years, obviously, the contractor who was with Dolittle at that time must not be in this world now. Then the chance of head-on conflict is equal to zero. Could it be that the final reward of this mission is to pick peaches by yourself
After thinking about it for a while, Sheyan took out another 50,000 dollars, threw it in front of Hosina, and said word by word:
"Location, where is the place where you met Dolittle? After answering this question, the money will be yours."
…
Third Avenue in Long Beach Township, Los Angeles is the address Hosina provided to Sheyan.
At this time, Fang Sheyan was on the car heading to this place, he was staring at the scenery outside the car window, the black buddies drove the car steadily and fast, and he couldn't feel any bumps.
So far, the secrets of Nicholas have basically been solved.
Obviously, since the mysterious Dolittle wanted to experiment with Nicholas, and since Nicholas was a successful test subject, it was absolutely impossible for Dolittle not to get in touch with him.
And Dolittle had long been targeted by the FBI, so Nicholas must have been implicated.
Although Nicholas was timid, his secret was in his heart. If he didn't say anything, he would be suspicious at most. If he said it, he would die. So under the strong desire to survive, Nicholas naturally kept his mouth shut.
That nut engraved with SOS should be the one that Nicholas planned to hand over to Dolittle for help as a last resort, which showed that Nicholas also knew part of Dolittle's strength.
And the death of Nicholas showed that Dolittle probably had an earth-shattering secret in him, so that if the person who might be infected with this secret could get out of control, he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!
