Chapter five hundred and sixty-ninth tune the tiger away from the mountain(1/2)
Father Simon smiled and replied, "No, Jack, this is perfect enough. I don't expect to be reunited with them, mother and daughter. I just hope they can be healthy, safe and happy."
Dong Biao jumped out of the car, picked up the baby spear, carried it on his shoulder, greeted Luo Lie and Simon, "You two come upstairs with me to drink. If anyone dares to cheat, I, Dong Biao, will throw him into the wine tank for three days!" When passing by the mother and daughter who were crying in each other, Dong Biao snorted coldly and ordered, "Go home quickly, it will be too late to cry when you get home. Then who will drive them back."
Luo Lie said, "Alice, Celena, it's already the middle of the night. You should go home quickly. Brother Biao is addicted to alcohol. I have to go and drink with him, otherwise he will be really biting when he gets crazy."
Dong Biao walked in front, but heard Luo Lie's words. As expected, he stopped and turned around, showing a fierce look on his face, and bared his teeth and imitated the two beast's roars.
Luo Lie and Simon entered Dong Biao's room on the second floor. Dong Biao had already taken out three high-legged wine glasses and a bottle of whiskey. While pouring the wine, he said, "Don't be nervous. Brother Biao is not a drunkard. Thank you for most of the night, you will definitely not be able to sleep properly. Let's have a few sips to make it easier to sleep." After pouring the wine, Dong Biao gave it to Luo Lie and Father Simon respectively, and said to Father Simon: "In that kind of occasion, if I force you upstairs, you say how embarrassed you have to be. That's great..." Dong Biao took a sip of wine, lit a cigarette, and said comfortably: "Do you two want to come too? Tobacco and alcohol are not separated. Only cigarettes and wine are the most reliable friends of men. As for women, that's it, are you right? Simon."
Father Simon rejected the cigarette handed over by Dong Biao and shook his head and said, "No, Jack, I can't agree with your point of view. You may not believe in love, but I believe it."
Dong Biao pointed at Simon and smiled, "You fake priest...what did you say when you swore to God? Didn't you promised not to marry for life?"
Father Simon said awkwardly: "One time and another time. At that time, Celena took Alice away from me. I searched them for five years and searched every street and alley in Los Angeles. I thought I would never see them again in my life..."
Dong Biao interrupted Father Simon and said, "So, you lied to God and said that you can never marry for the rest of your life. Simon, you are a liar, a cute liar. I am really happy for Celena and Alice. Come, let us have this cup together and repent to God."
Father Simon raised his glass helplessly and muttered: "I am not a pure heart to deceive God. When I swear to God, I am really sincere. But when I see Alice again, I changed my mind."
Luo Lie came over and touched Simon, and said, "No matter what, Simon, be braver, just like you shoot tonight, decisive and firm. I think Celena will definitely be conquered by you again."
Dong Biao sighed, "Nuoli is right. When a man faces the woman he likes, he must be decisive and firm. He cannot imitate me. Brother Bin, after hesitating, he ended up being a bachelor who had been playing for twenty years."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Brother Biao, you are probably not talking about Brother Bin, but yourself, right?"
Dong Biao glared at her eyes and shouted, "So what? So what can I do? Brother Bin and I are both connected to each other. I am forty years old and have no wife to give birth to a man and a half woman for us. I feel sad when I think about it." After sighing, Dong Biao turned to Father Simon and said, "Simon, to be honest, you still have an Alice to love. I am so jealous of Dong Biao!"
Father Simon drank the wine in the glass in one sip, then poured another glass for himself, raised his glass to express his wishes to Dong Biao and Luo Lie, and said, "I understand your kindness. I said that I will pursue Celena again. I can definitely make Alice happy and call me father without any pressure."
Dong Biao threw away half a cup of whiskey in one go, shrugged his shoulders, turned his eyes to Luo Lie, and said with a smile: "Boy, where are you? When are you planning to marry Alice?"
Luo Lie replied generously: "Alice's biggest dream is to be able to walk into the wedding hall with her father's hand, so the question you ask is not up to me, but by Simon."
The wind suddenly stopped, lightning and thunder gradually became dense, and the heavy rain that had been held in for a long time finally came. What was quite abnormal is that the heavy rain lasted quite a long time, from dawn to near noon.
When the three bitches returned to the hall, it was already past 1:00 in the middle of the night. I drank some wine and chatted for a while. When Luo Lie fell asleep, it was already past three in the morning. It was cool on the rainy day, and I slept comfortably with the sound of rain. With the effect of alcohol, Luo Lie slept so hard that he didn't get up until lunch.
In the corridor at the entrance of the corridor, Dong Biao and Wu Houdun set up a small table and were drinking tea.
"Good morning, Brother Biao, morning, Mr. Wu." Luo Lie, who was used to exercise after getting up, looked at the dense raindrops outside, shook his head helplessly, and could only stay in the corridor to kick and pull out his tendons and fist a few times.
Dong Biao smiled and said, "You are so embarrassed to say it's early? You don't even look at what time it's going to be?"
Luo Lie immediately changed his words and said, "Good night, Brother Biao, good night, Mr. Wu."
Dong Biao was choked and stared at him, but after glaring twice, he couldn't hold it in his arms. Finally, he laughed out loud. Wu Houdun waved to Luo Lie, pulled a short stool beside the table, signaling Luo Lie to sit down and drink tea, and said, "I just heard from the boss Dong Er, have you worshipped the old ghost as your master?"
Luo Lie sat down, took a cup of tea handed over by Dong Biao, took a sip, and replied, "It's a pity that I'm not qualified and failed to learn the master's unique skills."
Wu Houn smiled and said, "No, no, it's not. If you enter the thief, you rely on the skill of ten fingers on the front. This is true. If you don't have the skill of your hand, you will naturally not be able to enter the sect. But if you want to become an expert in the sect, relying on fingers alone is far from enough. Your master, Lao Gui, is a typical example. His flying sword skills are no less than his unique skill between his ten fingers. You can be considered a blessing in disguise. There are not many people in this world who can worship Lao Gui as their master and learn his flying sword skills. As far as I know, you should be the third person."
Luo Lie said: "Three people? Who else will be there besides the eldest brother and me?"
Wu Houdun said: "This third person is probably not even the head of Dong Er, right?"
Dong Biao nodded and admitted, saying, "Although I have known Uncle Gui for six years, I have rarely been together and I don't know much about what happened before he came to America."
Wu Hou sighed and sighed: "The old friend has gone, it's better not to mention it. I don't know much about the elder brother's elder disciple, I just heard some legends from the world."
Luo Lie said: "What Mr. Wu means is that my senior brother is not the master's disciple, right?"
Wu Houdun shook his head slightly and said, "It can be said that yes, or that's not. It's true that the first disciple accepted by the old ghost brother was expelled from the master's sect by the old ghost brother."
Dong Biao poured tea for the two of them and said, "It's not far away. Mr. Wu, Luo Lie, let's take back the topic. The most important thing at the moment is the jade seal. As for the story of Uncle Ghost, you can ask your senior brother, who is more clear than anyone else."
But Luo Lie's curiosity was not satisfied, and he continued to ask Wu Houdun: "What are some unique skills in addition to the skill of the ten fingers? I think if you can be as famous as my master, you must have other unique skills."
Wu Houdun laughed, laughed, took a sip of tea, and said, "How can I be as qualified as the old ghost brother? The so-called Nan Wuyingbei urged his life to be urging people in the martial arts world to speak loudly. In the past fifty years, the only person who can truly be called a ghost hand is your master."
Dong Biao poured tea for Wu Hou again and said, "Mr. Wu is too humble. Since the people of the Jianghu have put Mr. Wu and Uncle Gui, then Mr. Wu must have outstanding features. Luo Lie, listen well. The reason why Mr. Wu is respected as Nan Wuying is not only because he is good at hiding his identity, but also because he has mastered a peerless light skill. It is said that he can walk on the snow without trace."
Wu Houdun laughed again and said, "It's just a three-legged cat kung fu that climbs up a wall and a tree. How could it be as mysterious as stepping on snow without scars? Besides, there is almost no snow in the south. Even if I want to practice, I still lack the basic conditions."
Luo Liesurong said: "No wonder Mr. Wu dared to say yesterday that as long as it is the person you are targeting, there will be no secrets. I thought it was the gentleman who spoke big words, but it turned out that he had a peerless light skills as a guarantee!"
Dong Biao drank tea, stood up, stretched, and said, "It's almost time to go for lunch. If you two haven't had enough chats, then continue talking. I'm so hungry."
Wu Houdun stood up as well.
Luo Lie quickly drank the tea in front of him and followed the two to the canteen.
The human biological clock is so strange. It goes to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening and gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning. The eight-hour sleep is enough for Luo Lie to ensure the full energy of the whole day of the next day. But if it was to sleep at 3 o'clock in the morning and get up at 11 o'clock in the morning, it also has eight hours of sleep. Luo Lie actually yawned while having lunch.
"Didn't wake up?" Dong Biao saw this and joked: "Do you want to sleep for a while before eating?"
Luo Lie smiled bitterly and said, "What, I shouldn't have listened to you last night. If you drink a few sips of wine before going to sleep, I always feel like I can't wake up after I drink it."
Wu Houdun smiled and said, "I told you something. I'll listen to it. I'm not sleepy when I keep it."
Luo Lie was energetic and was about to lean over, but he yawned again without any competingness.
Wu Houdun said mysteriously: "When I was drinking tea just now, I wanted to tell the second leader, but I was interrupted by the old ghost brother's affairs. In a word, the treasure we want is likely to arrive in Jinshan tonight."
Luo Lie was suddenly shocked, and he no longer felt like yawning. He asked anxiously: "How did Mr. Wu know? Why didn't you say it yesterday?"
Wu Hou snorted, obviously a little unhappy with Luo Lie's question, but because Luo Lie is a young junior who is not very good at speaking, he gave up just a glance at Luo Lie. "You were very busy last night, but I was not idle either. When I returned, you two were drinking with a priest named Simon."
Dong Biao was also shocked and blurted out: "It would be fine if you say that when Mr. I went out last night, I was in a sudden change and I was neglected to prevent my whereabouts and did not notice my whereabouts. But when Mr. I came back, I was in trouble with Anliangtang, and all the precautions were normal. Mr. I was still able to enter and exit freely, and regarded the precautions of dozens of brothers in Anliangtang as nothing..."
Wu Hou smiled faintly and said, "Did the second leader think what I said is a false statement?"
Dong Biao bowed his fists and replied, "Dong Biao dared not, Dong Biao just wanted to say..." Perhaps Dong Biao had been speaking English for a long time and was speechless for a moment, and could not think of appropriate words to express his amazement.
Luo Lie continued: "Although it is unbelievable, I have to believe it. I only say that Mr. is amazing in his ability."
Dong Biao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, that's what I mean, that's what I want to say."
Wu Houdun said bluntly: "This is not how clever I am, but your Anliangtang has many loopholes in its prevention. It's better, because your second in command can take the initiative to increase my 20% reward, after this matter is completed, I will guide you to Anliangtang for one or two."
Dong Biao hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll be a blessing. Dong Biao thanked me in advance."
Wu Hou waved his hand and said, "It's better to come less ordinary etiquette. I'll save you the best time to read your second boss and I can't bear to take more money from you. It's better to have a meal quickly and have a solid sleep after dinner. Tonight, there must be three of us."
Just as they were burying their heads for dinner, they sent a telegram to Dong Biao. Dong Biao glanced at it and then quietly put it in his arms.
The telegram was sent by Cao Bin, and the content was very simple. It just told Dong Biao that he had to stay in New York for more than ten days.
After all, Cao Bin has been in New York for almost half a month. If it were calculated based on the departure time, Cao Bin has left the hall for more than twenty days. Since the establishment of Jinshan Anliang Hall, Cao Bin has been leaving the hall for more than twenty days in more than ten years. Dong Biao didn't know what happened in New York, but he didn't need to think about it to make a clear judgment that something must have happened there, otherwise Brother Bin would never have stayed for that long.
Dong Biao's judgment was accurate. Something big happened in New York. Gu Haoran was assassinated twenty-two days ago.
On the day when Gu Haoran was assassinated, the head of the chief hall sent a telegram to Cao Bin. The telegram did not say much, but just told Cao Bin to rush to New York as quickly as possible. Therefore, when Cao Bin set off, Dong Biao did not know what was going on in New York, and he thought that the head of the chief hall had some special tasks that needed to explain to Brother Bin himself.
When Cao Bin arrived in New York, he realized that Gu Haoran was assassinated. Fortunately, the assassination arrow failed to hit Gu Haoran's vitals, and the medical level in New York was very high. Gu Haoran managed to save his life by chance. The hall entrance in New York can be said to be the largest and most important hall in the entire Anliang Hall. The hall leader was assassinated, which was absolutely unacceptable for Anliang Hall. Therefore, Cao Bin, who is the chief master who trusted and appreciated the most, naturally had to take on the responsibility of chasing the murderer.
The arrow that shot Gu Haoran should have come from the Indian craftsmanship, especially the method of harnessing the poison on the arrowhead and the material used in the arrow shaft, which all indicate that the arrow indeed came from the Indian tribe. However, An Liangtang and the Indian tribe have never had any intersection, let alone grudges. Therefore, it can only be judged that it was a third party that used the Indian weapons to attack Gu Haoran.
Cao Bin immediately investigated all forces that had had friction with Anliangtang, New York in the past three years, but the results were all futile. Therefore, he could only extend his stay in New York time and time again, unless the real culprit was found.
"Ming Ming, go back three years and bring me the records from the hall." After sending a telegram to Dong Biao, Cao Bin called Zhao Daming.
Zhao Daming's eyes were covered with blood. In order to track down the culprit of the assassination of Mr. Gu, he had not slept peacefully for more than 20 days. "Okay, Brother Bin, I'll go find it now."
Twenty years ago, Zhao Daming's parents smuggled into the United States of America, and he was only over nine years old at that time. After his parents came to America, they fell seriously ill and died. Zhao Daming became an orphan who was bullied on the streets. It was Gu Haoran who adopted him, provided him with food and clothing, sent him to school, and taught him good skills. Although Gu Haoran never mentioned recognizing Zhao Daming as his adopted son, in Zhao Daming's heart, Mr. Gu was his reborn father.
After a while, Zhao Daming brought a stack of books.
This is a rule of Anliangtang. The events that happen every day in the hall must be recorded by the clerk. From the fact that a gang of other forces has a fire, to the fact that a certain brother in the hall is lazy and punished when he is on duty, they are all recorded clearly on a date.
While looking through the books, Cao Bin said to Zhao Daming: "Da Ming, tell me the situation when Mr. Gu was assassinated. When you say it, think about it again to see if there are any details that have been omitted."
Zhao Daming pondered for a moment and said, "The day of the accident was July 14th. If we were based on our calendar, it would be the ninth day of the sixth lunar month. Early in the morning, Mr. Gu took Dahui and me and Dahui to Pacific Shipping Company to discuss business. The business was very good. The foreign manager of the shipping company would still keep us for dinner. But Brother Bin, you also know that Mr. Gu couldn't even eat a bite of Western food made by foreigners, so we politely declined the foreign manager. On the way back, Mr. Gu specifically asked Dahui to go around and take our brothers to the Xinji Seafood Restaurant in Chinatown for dinner. Mr. Gu was in a good mood and even had a drink. After the meal, Dahui drove the car to the entrance of the restaurant. When Mr. Gu was about to get on the bus, the arrow shot over."
Although I have said it many times, every time I talk about it, Zhao Daming's face was filled with guilt. "I heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, and I noticed the danger. Mr. Gu also heard the sound of arrows and felt the danger. Mr. Gu wanted to dodge back, but I rushed towards Mr. Gu from behind. As soon as the two forces canceled, Mr. Gu failed to avoid the arrow. It's all my fault. If I didn't forget to pounce forward or use more strength, Mr. Gu might not be caught."
Cao Bin's face was as deep as water, staring at the book, and said, "Did you notice anything abnormal when you were having a meal in the restaurant? Don't rush to answer me, think about it and then say, for example, a shopkeeper has changed his face to a raw face? Or, the restaurant manager has a look abnormal?"
Zhao Daming thought seriously for a moment and replied: "Brother Bin, you have made me think about it many times. I really can't think of anything abnormal. I also asked Dahui, but he was unaware of it."
Cao Bin nodded and said, "This is normal. If there is really something abnormal, Lao Gu will definitely be able to detect it. By the way, does Lao Gu often go to that Xinji Restaurant?"
Zhao Daming said: "It just so happens that the seafood is going more often. You may go there once or twice a week. After the season, it is not that many people go there. You may not go there once or twice a month."
Cao Bin sighed and said, "I have checked that place many times. Generally speaking, it is not suitable for assassination, especially with weapons such as bows and arrows. The entrance of the restaurant is the street intersection. The wind is strong at the intersection, so the accuracy of the arrow cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, the time point is when there are many people, and accidents are more likely to occur. According to this reasoning, the possibility of accidental injury cannot be ruled out."
Zhao Daming said: "Yes, Brother Bin, we have investigated all the forces that have made enemies with our Anliangtang, but we didn't find that they were suspected! It's not clear, it's really possible that they were injured by accident!"
Cao Bin shook his head slightly and said, "It must be ruled out even if it cannot be ruled out! Ming Dynasty, if we assume that the murderer who assassinated Lao Gu is a master among experts, then will all the questions be answered? Yes, there are many people at the intersection, so it is indeed not suitable for assassination with bows and arrows. But we think about it the other way around, will Lao Gu be careless about the difference between you and your brothers in this location? One goes up and the other goes down, so for the murderer, he has not gotten a good deal but has not suffered any losses."
Zhao Daming said: "If Brother Bin speculates, the murderer must have been following Mr. Gu for a long time, but we didn't notice it at all!"
Cao Bin said: "It's not only that you brothers didn't notice it, but even Old Gu probably didn't realize it. Therefore, I guess that the murderer is likely to be the top master in this path."
Zhao Daming said: "Can they be the residual elements of the Internal Machinery Bureau?"
Cao Bin shook his head slowly and said, "It is impossible. The internal bureau is destroyed by me, Cao Bin and Dong Biao. If they want to seek revenge, they should also look for my Jinshantang."
Zhao Daming seemed to have suddenly thought of something, but he didn't dare to be too sure. He locked his eyebrows, fixed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and looked like he was about to stop talking.
Cao Bin was still browsing the book, but noticed Zhao Daming's strangeness, so he said, "Da Ming, have you thought of something? It doesn't matter, even if you say it."
Zhao Daming said: "I'm thinking about something five years ago. That time, our brothers killed eight hawks from the Internal Machinery Bureau, and there was another special character..."
Cao Bin browsed the book very quickly. In just ten minutes, he finished reading the book Sanhou book. He closed the last page, then pushed the book into the middle of the table, interrupted Zhao Daming, and said, "The person you mentioned is Na Duo, isn't it?"
To be continued...
