Because it was already winter, most of the people had already returned to their homes and climbed into their warm quilts. The quiet street only had the occasional car speeding past, and the pedestrians had almost disappeared.
A black car slowed down after driving for a while, then turned into an intersection and drove through the already thin ice puddle into a narrow street.
The shops on both sides of the street had already closed the rolling gate. The shabby rented houses above the shops were lit up, and the road was littered with garbage. A sign for the light box stood alone by the side with the words "Internet Cafe" written on it.
A young man and woman were sitting with their backs to the street and talking and laughing under a simple shed. When the black car drove past, the boy put his arm around the girl and his other hand on the girl as well, as if reaching into the girl's down jacket. The girl laughed sweetly and pushed against him a few times before she snuggled into the boy's arms.
After the black car pa.s.sed the light box, it slowly stopped a hundred meters away. After a few minutes, the door opened and a man in a black woolen coat got out.
Wearing sungla.s.ses, the man looked left and right before quickly walking into a small alley. Soon after, he arrived at a rented apartment, took out his key, and opened the metal door.
There was a narrow staircase inside the metal door, and the man followed it up to the third floor. There were a total of five rooms on this floor. The man took a glance at the tightly shut doors and lightly knocked on the door on the far right.
"Who?"
"Me!"
The one who was staying in the room was a skinny young man. Seeing this person, he was extremely excited, "Captain Xiang, you're finally here. I'm going to starve to death!"
The person who came was Xiang Hongjun. He tossed a paper bag to him, "I bought you a roasted chicken and wine. Hurry up and eat it."
"Thank you, Captain Xiang!" The young man took out a roasted chicken from the plastic bag. His eyes immediately lit up as he held the roasted chicken in his arms and started to eat.
Xiang Hongjun walked over to the window and lifted the curtain a crack before looking down. Other than the barbeque stall owner and the couple, he couldn't see anyone else on the street.
With that, Xiang Hongjun took out an envelope and threw it towards the young man, "There's twenty thousand here, it'll be enough for you to spend for a while. After you leave, just stay there and don't show off."
A few minutes later, the young man finished his roast chicken and drank his wine. He casually wiped the grease off his hands before standing up, "Captain Xiang, let's go."
Xiang Hongjun stubbed out his cigarette, then put on his sungla.s.ses once again. His gaze fell onto the young man currently in the midst of dressing up.
At this moment, the young man suddenly clutched his stomach and fell to the ground, moaning in pain, "Captain Xiang, my stomach suddenly hurts. It hurts!"
In next to no time, he completely calmed down.
After silently reading through all of this, Xiang Hongjun took out the envelope from the young man's pocket, opened the door and swiftly left.
However, when he got closer, he suddenly stopped. He didn't know if the left front wheel of his black car was pierced by a nail, but it had actually deflated completely in such a short period of time.
Xiang Hongjun furrowed his brows, then quickly gave up on the idea of driving. He turned around and quickly walked forward.
However, after taking a few steps, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind, "Captain Xiang, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Xiang Hong Bing's footsteps paused, and suddenly sped up as he ran forward.
However, right at this moment, a young girl wearing a red down jacket suddenly appeared in an alley in front of Xiang Hongjun, blocking him.
Xiang Hongjun immediately stopped, staring at the girl in front of him and frowned, "Captain Xiao, I didn't think that I would meet you here. What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Qin Hai lit up a cigarette, took a puff on it, and laughed. "However, it seems that you only have this level of intelligence. I can understand that!"
Xiang Hongjun turned his head to look at Qin Hai, and coldly snorted: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. I just wanted to say that you're very stupid!" Qin Hai said with a smile, "I poked you in the afternoon, but you couldn't hold it in even before the night fell. Your level is really terrible. I was planning on having some fun with you. Sigh, you've really disappointed me!"
A cold light flashed in Xiang Hongjun's eyes that were hidden beneath the sungla.s.ses. He turned around and asked Xiao Nannan, "Captain Xiao, what is the meaning of this?"
Xiao Nannan asked with a straight face, "Xiang Hongjun, is the axe that instigated Duan Dazhi to beat up Mei Jianming one of yours?"
Xiao Nannan continued to ask, "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Nan Nan said, "Is the axe hidden here?"
Xiao Nannan's face was expressionless as she continued, "Please take us to the place you just went. If I'm wrong, I will publicly apologize to you in the police station!"
At this moment, Qin Hai's lazy voice came from Xiang Hongjun again, "Xiang Hongjun, can you explain how the wound on your lower back came about? The killer who killed Mei s.h.i.+chen in the police station a few days ago was you, right? "
"Bullsh * t. You'll know when you take us to the place you went just now."
"Is that so?" Xiang Hongjun's eyes flashed with a cold light once more. His right hand, which had always been by his side, suddenly lifted up his clothes. He pulled out a short spear from his waist and aimed it at Qin Hai. Chapter error, point this report (registered free)
