Chapter 47: Revenge (7)
It was the same London night as Charlie, but Liang Xi had no wine. He took a cup of black tea in his small apartment and looked at the computer screen and thought: Who smashed the glass?
Don't think about it. Liu Zhenpi's 24 hours are enough for Liang Xigou for a month. Liang Xi is not thinking about glass, but the person who smashed the glass. If the alcoholics did not lie and they only smashed one piece of glass, it means that two people from different camps sneaked into the villa they rented last night. Is it a robber? Although he is handsome, he doesn't seem to be so handsome. Is it a robber? A robber with some conscience should also know who gives who money.
Liang Xi speculated that the reasons why the drunkard accomplices sneaked into his villa were nothing more than a few. Assassination, kidnapping, and theft. After the accident in Villa No. 11, the drunkard accomplices found that they had lived in the villa with their real name. The accomplices were inexplicably attacked by a group of mysterious people. The drunkard accomplices hoped to get the answer from him. Because their income did not match the price of the villa they were staying in.
But who is the other person? Liang Xi couldn't understand the purpose of another person, whether it was robbery, assassination, kidnapping, as long as it was targeted, he would choose the opportunity to go to the villa after being full. After eliminating all possibilities, Liang Xi speculated that it was his abnormal behavior of renting a villa that alarmed the other party. Thinking of the various circles of interest he was involved in, Liang Xi inferred that only the possibility of John's death was the only possibility.
No matter what the other party is thinking, he didn't succeed yesterday, and it is very likely that he would take action again today. But because it is only possible, Liang Xi could not ask Liu Zhen, Baker and the others for help. Besides, asking them for help may alarm the bad guy who was originally going to take action.
Liang Xi's hand pushed and pulled the drawer from the keyboard on the table, touched it up for a while, and took out a revolver. This gun was the match made by Old John's father when he was in the army during World War II. Two years ago, after two burglary and murders near Liang Xi's residence, John gave the pistol to Liang Xi. Liang Xi refused this. John told Liang Xi, I don't want you to be trapped in the room by a few people holding knives, waiting in despair to break the door and then cut off your throat. Finally, Liang Xi took the pistol and completed the procedures to legally own the pistol.
Liang Xi watched the time and it was 7:40 pm. Liang Xi used his computer to download a series, broadcast it down, and turned on the external audio. Then Liang Xi put the pistol into the drawer, set the alarm clock and went to bed without turning off the lights.
More than three hours later, the phone vibrated and woke Liang Xi up. Liang Xi got out of bed, turned off the computer, switched off the speaker, turned off the lights, took a pistol, and sat on a chair facing the door.
If there are visitors, it is a good time to 1:00 a.m. But Liang Xi cannot sleep until a little, because he always goes to bed before 11:00. This is what detective Liang Xi thinks. There are most likely no visitors, after all, a lot of things have happened during the day. But as a detective, since he has made the speculation that there are low chances of visitors to visit recently, then you must be prepared.
Liang Xi sat on the chair and used various thinkings such as assumptions, reasoning, and counter-reflection to think. He could only guess that it was related to John's death and could not understand the purpose of the intruder's infiltration. He remembered that a glass smasher used a floor lamp, so Liang Xi saw the death mask on the other party's face. He was not sure whether the drunkard accomplices smashed the glass with a floor lamp or a potted glass.
When he was sleepy, Liang Xi drank a sip of cold black tea to refresh his mind. Until 1:20 in the morning, with the help of the sleeping lamp, Liang Xi saw the door lock slowly turning. Liang Xi was very nervous and scared. The soaring adrenaline made his hands tremble, but Liang Xi still raised his gun and aimed.
The door was gently pushed open, and a man in a black robe wearing a death mask squatted in and entered the door quickly. He did not expect that a bullet would be greeted. As soon as the gunshot sounded, the death mask rolled back and closed the door, and the action was completed in one go. Liang Xi immediately hid in the bedroom and closed the door, leaning against the wall to call the police.
...
"I'm shot."
"Who did it?"
"Liang Xi."
"Location."
"Listen, after the gunshot, several people saw me running out of the apartment building. There was my blood on the scene."
"I'll handle it. Where are you?"
“The woods on the south side of the Monument Park.”
"I'll let the medical staff go there right away. You can't go to the hospital."
"I know."
Karin put her phone aside and pressed her thigh with her hands. Her blood was everywhere in the car. Karin couldn't understand why Liang Xi squatted herself? Assuming Liang Xi was awakened and resisted with a gun, she could understand even if she killed her. But when she opened the door, Karin found that Liang Xi was ambushing her. A rigorously trained agent was ambushed by a civilian, and Karin couldn't accept it. This time she entered the room, she did not tell anyone that she would betray her. Karin couldn't understand at all.
The medical staff provided by Mark were two women in their forties who helped Karin into the small truck to prepare for the operation. Because Karin needs to be undercover, the operation only uses local anesthesia. There are not many examination facilities. They talk to Karin while the operation is being performed, and judge Karin’s status from the conversation with Karin.
"John's adopted son? Liang Zhi?" A woman pinched out the bullet: "Look 22 bullets, it seems that today is your lucky day."
Karin endured the pain and sweat soaked the operating bed. Karin asked, "What's wrong with John's adopted son?"
The woman began to stitch the wound: "Many people misunderstand John, thinking he was just a very smart detective."
Karin: "What about it?"
The woman said: "In fact, he is a very smart detective. He and his wife didn't have an adopted son who had no legal relationship until they were in their fifties. Don't you find it strange? With the conditions of their husband and wife, adopting children is not difficult."
The woman said, "I know Mary, and to be precise, my mother and Mary are friends. Our family is in the same community. So I know Liang Xi is a young man John likes very much. John is a very scary person. He can't use a gun or fight, but he can predict your behavior. Unless you want to get rid of him, you'd better not provoke him because you have no idea what his mind is thinking about, how much secrets he can get from your words and deeds."
The woman said, "I know you are not convinced, but you can understand it by thinking about it from another angle. Liang Xi will never reach your fighting level. He doesn't even know where your next punch will hit, why your legs will be so fast. Just as I can't understand why John can see the secrets I'm hiding and why he can know where things are going."
Another woman said: "She doesn't want to admit that she is not as smart as Liang Xi."
The woman said, "I advise you not to play the game of using your own weaknesses to fight against others' strengths."
Karin said: "I don't think I'm stupid."
The woman said: "Even if John is higher than that of ordinary people, he will not be much higher. He is terrible in his thinking logic, observation, judgment, reasoning ability, etc.."
"Thank you for your teachings, I will remember it in my heart." The anesthesia effect gradually faded away. I washed the wound with alcohol again and let Karin rush on the spot. Even so, she did not cry out in pain, and she still tried to keep a calm tone and talked to the two.
Women appreciated: "It is worthy of being MI6."
"Thank you for the compliment."
The woman said, "If Liang Xi was lying here, I guarantee that all of London could hear his screams. So don't underestimate yourself, you have your ability, he has his ability."
