Chapter Twelve [Murder Now] (1)

The sparrow looked at Luo Lie like a dream, and she had completely forgotten what had happened just now.

Luo Lie drank the wine in the glass in one go, paused the glass heavily on the table, and then turned around and left.

The sparrow trembled as the sound of the glass hitting the table. She blinked her bright eyes, but she still hadn't recovered from the blank period in her mind for a while. The old man in long robe came to her and said with concern: "Young Master, are you doing anything?"

The sparrow subconsciously raised her right hand and pressed it on her forehead. Unfortunately, such actions still couldn't help her recall any details.

"Madam! Is it good to help me with the time?"

Xie Liyun nodded, her eyes fell on Luo Lie's watch that was reaching towards him, and soon became confused...

When Sparrow returned to the carriage again, she found that Luo Lie had already sat back on his seat and was having a happy chat with Xie Liyun. Xie Liyun looked at Luo Lie with her eyes, as if she had completely forgotten that there were other people in the carriage, and she even forgot about herself. She vaguely heard Xie Liyun's gratitude to Luo Lie, and she realized that Xie Liyun had already counted all the heroic behaviors that had just drawn the sword to help Luo Lie. Sparrow was puzzled, why did this change suddenly occur? Could Luo Lie have such a powerful charm? It can capture the hearts of a woman in a short time?

The sparrow did not immediately step up and expose the guy who was showing off his sex with a man. The old man in a long gown quietly came to the opposite side of the sparrow and sat down, whispering: "The train will arrive at the station in another half an hour."

The image of the watch suddenly appeared in the sparrow's mind, and the spiraling second hand quickly magnified in front of her eyes. She suddenly realized something, bit her lip hard, and lowered her voice: "Uncle Fu, I might have been hypnotized just now."

The train slowly drove into Yingkou Railway Station. Luo Lie was originally worried that the sparrow would come to cause trouble, but there were no troubles in the next journey.

When Xie Liyun got up and left, she insisted on taking the suitcase from Luo Lie's hand and laughed apologetically: "Thank you for your kindness, but Yingkou is a place with many people and eyes, so it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble." When she spoke, her eyes were still reluctant to leave Luo Lie.

Luo Lie smiled and said, "A beauty like Madam will be admired by anyone."

Xie Liyun felt a little excited, nodded, and was about to walk towards the car door, but finally turned around and whispered: "I wonder if there is any chance to meet Mr. Luo in the future?"

Luo Lie said: "I will stay in Yingkou for a while and deal with some things. It's better to do this. I will go to the mansion to visit Director Liu the next day, and I hope my wife will introduce it to you."

Xie Liyun smiled and said, "Mr. Luo has helped me so much this time. I have to thank you specifically. Why not do this? I will say hello to my husband when I go back and thank you in person another day."

"You are kind to you, Madam!"

After the train stopped, Xie Liyun got off the train first. There were three fully armed guards waiting on the platform. All of them were guards from the Daoyin Office. This time they came to welcome the director's wife. Liu Tongsi was very caring for this concubine. Although she was busy with official business, she still did not forget her return date. She specially arranged the driver guard to greet her. This was something Xie Liyun expected, so she refused Luo Lie to see her off to avoid unnecessary trouble. Although Liu Tongsi was very nice to her, she was a famous jealous person.

Before getting on the bus, Xie Liyun looked back and found that Luo Lie's figure had disappeared into the rolling passenger flow.

When Luo Lie walked out of Yingkou Railway Station, a sound of time came from the bell tower above the station. Luo Lie raised his head, looked at the clock through the flying snow, and then raised the watch on his wrist and right. It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon, and it had been two hours late. According to the previous plan, he took the train to Yingkou, and Ye Qinghong and the blind man drove here from Fengtian. The meeting was at the Oriental Hotel on Xinshi Street.

A coachman pulled a rickshaw and ran towards Luo Lie. The coachman was a burly middle-aged man. Although it was cold and cold, he was still wearing a thin cotton jacket with a dog-skinned waistcoat. The vest was not buttoned up, and his chest was wide open. He didn't need to wrap himself thickly when he was making a living like them. He came to Luo Lie and grinned, revealing the honest smile of ordinary workers: "Uncle, get in the car?"

Luo Lie nodded and told him the address he wanted to go.

The coachman put down the rickshaw, first asked Luo Lie to sit down, then carefully helped him put his luggage in the car, and then ran on the snow. The coachman ran very fast, and the snow seemed to suddenly change direction, and rushed towards Luo Lie's face in fear.

Luo Lie raised his collar and hugged his hands together to minimize the loss of temperature in his body.

Yingkou is located on the Liaodong Peninsula, on the east coast of the Bohai Sea, and at the entrance of the Daliao River. It is the first port to open an external port in modern history of Manchuria in my country, and it is also a window facing the world in the entire northeast. It was once known as the Oriental Trade Consortium and Huangpu outside the Pass.

After the Russo-Japanese War, the commercial port areas and harbors in Yingkou were substantively occupied by the Japanese side. After the founding of the Republic of China, although the Republic of China government took back Yingkou on the surface and the Japanese side also abolished the military and political families of Yingkou, in fact, Xinshi Street, Niu Honcho and Niujiatun were all returned and were still under the control of the Japanese side. The place Luo Lie was going to is the area actually controlled by the Japanese.

Walking along the train station, you can see many Japanese people, most of whom are dressed brightly and behave elegantly. They can judge their superiority from the surface alone, but their superiority is based on exploitation and plunder.

Pedestrians were gradually scarce on the road, but the snow was getting heavier. Luo Lie was here in Yingkou for the first time. Looking up, they had arrived at the bank of the Liao River. The Great Liao River was frozen, and a thick ice layer covered the river surface. Snow had fallen on the ice layer, but there were still many uncovered places, with deep silver-gray reflections appearing under the dark sky.

"Is that the Great Liao River?" Luo Lie asked softly.

The coachman ran and replied, "Yes! The sir is right, that is, the Great Liao River, which has been frozen, and the ice layer is not thick now. When the 39th day, there will be a carriage on the river surface."

Luo Lie nodded, took out a map of Yingkou, found the Daliao River, and looked for the place he was going to. He couldn't help but frown. Judging from the map, their route was not the closest one, and it should be said that it was far and wide. The coachman actually made a circle with him, and suddenly became alert in his heart and said deliberately: "How long will we get to the place?"

"It's here, it's here!"

The coachman ran faster and faster, without any feeling of fatigue.

Luo Lie's right hand fell on the suitcase and gently tapped the suitcase: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so why don't you go around Yingkou City for a whole circle." He thought he had met a black-hearted coachman who deliberately took the opportunity to ask for the price.

A strange smile appeared on the corner of the driver's lips. Instead of slowing down, he accelerated a lot. He suddenly jumped up while running at high speed, his legs left the ground, and then he fell heavily. His strong arms almost lowered the handle of the rickshaw to the snow. The extreme downward pressure on the front of the rickshaw in a short period of time caused the carriage behind to instantly produce a strong upward recoil force.

Luo Lie's body flew out of the rickshaw, flew straight into the air, and passed over the coachman's head. The coachman's eyes looked at Luo Lie flying in the air with ease, looking forward to seeing this guy's face on the ground and in a mess.

But the expectation on his face immediately turned into surprise, because he saw Luo Lie holding the suitcase steadily in his hand. In the moment of lightning, Luo Lie could still do this, which shows that he was already prepared.

Luo Lie's feet fell steadily on the snow, his face was not blushing or breathing. He realized that the person in front of him was definitely not a black-hearted coachman who just wanted to take a detour and make money, but had another purpose.

The coachman saw Luo Lie's body movement falling from the air and realized that the young man in front of him was not weak. He quickly twisted the handle on the right side of the rickshaw and pulled it out of the car body. He held the stick with one hand and dragged a long snow line on the snow.

Luo Lie looked at the coachman with interest and whispered: "What does this big brother want to do?"

The coachman said coldly, "Robbery!" As he spoke, he rushed towards Luo Lie. With the power of the recoil of his left foot, his body ejected and raised an iron rod in the air, holding his hands high over the top, his figure was like a fish leaping, and his momentum was like a tiger pounced on food. The iron rod fell down high and slashed at high speed, making a shout! The air around him stormed, sweeping across the sides like snowflakes storming.

If this stick is put into Luo Lie's head, his brain will inevitably burst.

Luo Lie's body retreated backwards. The opponent's stick is strong and should not be able to compete with the enemy. He should first take a defensive moment and wait until the opponent's sharpness is slightly depressed before counterattacking.

The coachman's stick fell to nothing, but Luo Lie actually ran along the river bank toward the ice surface of the Daliao River. The two of them ran and chased each other. The ice surface of the Daliao River had been completely frozen, enough to carry the weight of their bodies. Luo Lie stopped at the heart of the river, put the suitcase in his hand on the ice surface and pushed it hard. The suitcase slid on the ice surface, dragging out a long trajectory, revealing the crystal ice surface under the thin snow.

After the coachman rushed to the ice, his stride began to decrease significantly, and even the strength of his footing was weakened a lot. The ice surface was too slippery, and the more important thing was the psychological factor. He was worried that if the strength of his footing was too strong, it might break the ice surface. After all, it is not the coldest season in Yingkou, and the thickness of the ice surface frozen is not ideal.
