Chapter 18 [Wind Amulet] (Part 2)
Before leaving America, I handed these four keys over to four people for safekeeping. One of these four people was Liu Decheng. My father handed the gold key to him and the other was Liu Tongsi. He got another silver key. Because my father learned in advance that someone wanted to assassinate him, he changed his itinerary and the two of them were responsible for escorting the safe to return to China according to the original plan. My father, along with Ren Zhongchang and Xiao Tianxiong, left the United States in secret and embarked on his return journey in advance."
Luo Lie frowned and said, "You mean, the other two wind sheltering tower talismans are on Ren Zhongchang and Xiao Tianxiong?"
Ye Qinghong nodded and said, "My father did this very secretly. Before he left the United States, he told my mother by telegram that he could only open the safe if he found all four wind-saving tower talismans. If he encountered an accident in the middle, it would be related to the things in the safe. Let my mother report the secrets to the court through a certain channel, and spread the secret that the four wind-saving tower talismans were actually keys."
Luo Lie said: "Didn't he already have suspicion of Liu Tongsi? Why did he teach him such an important thing?"
Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "I can't figure it out either. Maybe there was no one around him at that time, maybe he thought Liu Tongsi would not covetously about the things in the safe, or maybe he thought Liu Tongsi didn't understand the inside story. After all, no one knew that the Wind-Hail Tower Talisman was the key to opening the safe."
"Do you know what is hidden in the safe?"
"I don't know, after my father was assassinated, Liu Decheng and Liu Tongsi sent the safe to the palace, and the safe later lost their whereabouts. My mother followed my father's last wish and informed the secret to a person I trust most in my life, but unexpectedly this incident caused her to be killed." Ye Qinghong felt sad for a moment when she said this. She found the cigarette box, but found that the cigarette inside was empty. Luo Lie took out his cigarette, handed it to her, and lit it for her. Ye Qinghong took a sip of the cigarette, and her eyes were slightly red.
Luo Lie changed the topic in time and said, "Is this thing really a key?"
Ye Qinghong said: "I can't conclude that these things are known from my mother. Perhaps only by finding the safe can you understand the truth."
Luo Lie suddenly remembered Ren Zhongchang who had been killed and whispered: "Is there any wind sheltering talisman on Ren Zhongchang?"
Ye Qinghong hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "From his body, I found the agate wind shelter talisman."
Until today, Luo Lie has just realized that Ren Zhongchang's assassination in Huangpu was not a simple assassination and revenge. Another reason was that Ye Qinghong wanted to retrieve the key.
"Who is the person your father asked your mother for help?"
Ye Qinghong did not answer his question and whispered: "I just want to take revenge!"
Luo Lie looked at Ye Qinghong with some sympathy. He had known her for a while, but in Luo Lie's memory, he never saw her laughing happily. Hatred is a double-edged sword. While taking revenge on others, it was also tormenting herself. Ye Qinghong lives in hatred and under pressure. How could she be happy and how could she be happy?
Luo Liedao: "That sniper Lu Weilin has also come here?"
Ye Qinghong said: "He is not inconsistent with the tasks you are going to perform."
Luo Lie said: "Because of him, I took a cold shower in the Daliao River as soon as I arrived at Yingkou and told him that I will definitely settle the accounts with him."
Ye Qinghong smiled faintly: "He is the third master's member. The third master is worried that I will come and let him secretly protect my safety." He paused and said: "Actually, I didn't know him before the Lanmofang assassination."
Luo Lie had no doubt about Ye Qinghong's words. He was at the scene at that time. Ye Qinghong's instinctive reaction could not deceive people, and said calmly: "You should find out that he is actually a trouble now." Luo Lie did not intend to slander. Previously, Lu Weilin killed several Japanese soldiers on the train to Fengtian. At the critical moment, Luo Lie helped him get out. I am afraid that even Lu Weilin himself would not know about this. But when Luo Lie helped him, he did not expect that Lu Weilin would actually revenge on him with a grudge. However, Lu Weilin obviously did not intend to kill him. He just used guns to break the ice surface to teach Luo Lie a lesson. His intention should be to revenge on Luo Lie's old grudge who shot him with a flying knife in the Huangpu Lanmofang.
Ye Qinghong said: "If you have the chance, I will arrange for you to meet."
Luo Lie looked around and caught a reflection in the woods opposite. Luo Lie smiled meaningfully, "He should be around, right?" He realized with intuition that the reflection was probably the sunlight reflected by the scope. He did not trust Ye Qinghong, and Ye Qinghong also did not trust him. This made Luo Lie, who had just developed sympathy and trust for Ye Qinghong, and he couldn't help but doubt her sincerity. If he really trusted himself, why would he let the sniper ambush nearby? Ye Qinghong always had a backhand.
Ye Qinghong laughed unquestionably: "His father was killed by Ren Zhongchang, and the third master gave him a chance to avenge himself, so he owed the third master a great favor."
Luo Lie said: "Let's make arrangements. If you have anything to say, everyone will explain it clearly in person, so as not to hurt the other party accidentally when they meet next time."
Ye Qinghong nodded: "Then let's go to the Seaman Club tonight. I'll arrange it to eliminate the misunderstandings for you."
Luo Lie nodded: "Do you want me to approach Liu Tongsi's concubine Xie Liyun in your plan?"
Ye Qinghong did not deny it.
Luo Lie said: "Have you ever considered my feelings? I never do anything like sacrificing my lust!"
Ye Qinghong couldn't help laughing: "Luo Lie, do you think I don't know you at all?"
Luo Lie said: "If you don't even understand yourself, how can you see me clearly?"
"The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear!"
Luo Lie said: "There is a saying that I must say that before. If you want to cooperate, we must be honest and honest. I am roughly clear about your purpose. I also promise to help you do this. As for how to accomplish this, I need to use my own way. I hope you will try not to interfere."
Ye Qinghong lowered her head and pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay! I promise you." She realized that her attitude towards Luo Lie was gradually softening, not only because of her recognition of Luo Lie's ability, but also because she realized that Luo Lie seemed gentle but her true nature was rebellious. If she wanted Luo Lie to help, the pressure would only backfire. She had to show him enough sincerity and respect. This is exactly why Ye Qinghong finally explained the truth to him. Of course, it was impossible for it to be all.
As night falls, the lights flash at the Seamen Club, and the music drifts in the air with the night sea breeze. This is a gathering place for seamen from all over the world. Where there are ports, there will be fine wine, beauties, and all commodities and entertainment activities that allow seamen to relieve loneliness and excitement.
Luo Lie and the blind man had just arrived outside the club department and saw several drunken crew members shaking out with wine bottles. The two of them let them go aside and avoided the cock-fighting eyes of the crew. They were not afraid of trouble, but they did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
Luo Lie saw the sidecar motorcycle parked in front of the door at a glance. There was a clear bullet mark on the sidecar. He immediately thought of Arnold Teutonic, the one who earned 100 yuan from him last night. He didn't expect him to be here to enjoy it. In fact, it was not surprising to think about it. After all, Yingkou is not big, and there are not many places for entertainment at night. The Seamen Club is the place where the most alcoholic, gambling, perverts, and smokers are the places where foreigners like to gather.
When he arrived at the club, the blind man was immediately infected by the warm atmosphere on the scene. With the fast and enthusiastic music, Luo Lie kept shaking his head. He didn't spend much time finding Lu Weilin sitting quietly in the corner of the bar. His military uniform was straight and his 37-point head shape was meticulously combed. He sat there with his back, and the bar chairs on both sides were empty, but Ye Qinghong, as a peacemaker, did not appear.
Luo Lie patted the blind man on the shoulder and whispered a few words to him.
Luo Lie slowly walked to Lu Weilin and sat down on the bar chair on the left, while the blind man sat down on Lu Weilin's right as if nothing had happened.
Lu Weilin's handsome face was serious and he stared at the wine glass in his hand with a determined look, without even looking at the two people beside him.
Luo Lie ordered a glass of whiskey, took a sip of wine, and said, "That shot is very accurate!"
Lu Weilin slowly placed the wine glass on the table: "It was cold and his hands were slipping, and he should have aimed upwards at three feet and three inches."
Luo Lie frowned, three feet and three inches, almost equivalent to his legs. Lu Weilin is cruel enough. Is this to aim at his life? He whispered: "There is only one opportunity, and if you miss it, there will be no more. At our current distance, you shouldn't have a chance to shoot."
Lu Weilin said indifferently: "Do you look for me to avenge me?"
Luo Lie said generously: "It is better to resolve enemies than to make them. Let's forget about the past!"
Lu Weilin drank all the wine in the glass, but suddenly took out a pistol from his waist, and the muzzle pressed against Luo Lie's lower abdomen from below. However, the knife in Luo Lie's hand also pressed between his legs at the same time. Lu Weilin looked at Luo Lie coldly: "Do you think your knife is faster than mine?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "My knife can kill people, but your gun may not be able to do it."
The blind man on the side laughed and slowly threw the bullets into the empty cup one by one. The bullets hit the glass cup and made a jingle sound. When Lu Weilin's main attention was focused on Luo Lie, he would inevitably ignore the existence of the blind. It turns out that neglecting any details often affects the overall success or failure.
