Chapter 23 Fugitive

Chapter 23 Fugitive
In Xigang District, Yangzhi City, in a small abandoned factory left over from the great development period, Brother Qi stood outside a metal door, leaning against the wall and smoking.

After a while, the door was pushed open and the man in the flowered shirt came out. He asked, "How are your injuries, brothers?"

The flowered shirt said, "Brother Qi, that guy was too ruthless. Lao Hei said that several of our brothers were still disabled after being cured."

Brother Qi cursed and said, "Old Black is always so boastful, but he can't even take care of this little injury?"

The man in the flowered shirt said awkwardly, "Old Black said that the money Brother Qi gave is only enough for this treatment. If you want to cure it completely without leaving any problems, you have to pay more or use better medicine."

Brother Qi was upset and asked, "What a jerk! What kind of medicine is so expensive?"

"Lao Hei said he wanted the blood glue from Qing Nang Yu Fang."

Brother Qi was shocked. He knew that Lao Hei just wanted to extort money from him, so he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, I've been protecting him for so long, but he treats me like a chicken. What a piece of shit!"

The man in the flowered shirt was also indignant, "Yeah, Brother Qi, why else would people say that Lao Hei has a bad heart!"

Brother Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Tell Lao Hei that the money is owed and let him treat the brothers' injuries first! I'll do what he said that day!"

The man in the flowered shirt breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, Brother Qi."

"And that kid!"

Brother Qi said viciously: "This matter is not over for the man who messed with me! Can you fight? Find an expert to defeat him later!"

The man in the flowered shirt also echoed loudly, but he actually knew that it was useless. They were a small gang, how could they afford to hire such a person?

At this time, a younger brother ran in and said, "Brother, there are a lot of new faces here today. Go and take a look. The brothers are afraid something might happen."

Brother Qi cursed inwardly, flicked away his cigarette butt, strode out, and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

They walked out along the corridor and came to a second-floor platform. In the distance, two people were standing on the edge of the railing, secretly trading something. A tall and thin man heard the footsteps and looked over vigilantly. When he saw it was Brother Qi, he withdrew his gaze.

Opposite this man was a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask. When he saw them, he just pulled the brim of his hat down a little.

Brother Qi glanced at him and said to the man in the flowered shirt beside him, "Is the one wearing the hat new? Go over and remind him to pay the transaction fee."

"Okay, big brother."

Brother Qi led his men downstairs. Here, his younger brothers were walking around with steel pipes in their hands. When they saw him coming down, they greeted him one after another.

It can be seen from the lower floor that it was originally a factory workshop, with an intact crane on the roof. Now the venue is surrounded by an iron fence, and two strong men with bare upper bodies are fighting each other inside. There are twenty or thirty people around, who are constantly urging, shouting, spitting, and all kinds of knocking can be heard. The surrounding environment is smoky, and the ground is full of cigarette butts and broken glass bottles, which have been swept into the corners and left alone.

Small gangs like theirs don't dare to openly set up underground fighting arenas like the Blood Scar Gang and the Iron Chain Gang, so they can only organize small scenes like this.

This place is mainly a place for the trading of some illegal drugs. Anyway, in Xigang area, as long as you don't go on the streets, the police station hardly cares.

But places like this are also prone to accidents. It would have been fine if there were enough people, but after being beaten by Chen Chuan during the day, most of the people were missing. The worst thing is that almost all of those who fell were those who dared to fight, and the rest were just there to make up the numbers.

The people who come to such places are all old hands and repeat offenders. If they are not controlled, trouble will break out immediately.

After Brother Qi brought his men down, those eyes that were looking around everywhere became slightly restrained.

In a corner they passed by earlier, two people who were doing business were still talking. The tall and thin man said, "Tiancong Baicao's Xingqing Capsules are genuine high-quality medicine. Do you know how much they cost? Do you know how difficult it is to get them?"

The man in the peaked cap whispered, "No matter how much it costs, as long as it's available, I'll buy it."

"Oh, you're a rich guy." The tall and thin man looked him up and down. "Why did you buy such a good anti-alien drug? Did anyone's implant mutate?"

The man in the baseball cap said calmly, "Does this have anything to do with you?"

"It does matter," the tall and thin man said as a matter of course, "How do I know you're not here to make fun of me? If I get the drugs and you don't have money, I'll be in big trouble."

The man in the peaked cap looked at him, took out a bundle of money, waved it in front of his eyes, then took it back and said in a flat voice, "Now that you have the things, you can pay with one hand and receive the goods with the other."

The tall and thin man's eyes lit up. He hesitated for a moment and said, "We don't have Xingqing Capsules at the moment, but how about the injectable anti-allergic drug from Taled Company?" He gestured with his fingers, "It's the 'Little Gray Bottle'. Although it's not as good as the drugs from big companies like 'Qing Nang Yu Fang' and 'Tian Cong Bai Cao', it should be enough for now, right? I'll get the medicine you want for you later."

The man in the baseball cap thought for a moment and said, "Let's have two boxes first."

"Hey, just wait."

On the lower floor, Brother Qi was thinking about how to get the money when he heard hurried footsteps. A panicked younger brother rushed in and said, "Oh no, big brother, there are police officers outside!"

Brother Qi was shocked. He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and shouted, "Quick, pull the switch, retreat!"

At this time, the entire abandoned factory workshop was in chaos, and everyone was running around everywhere.

Although Brother Qi asked his younger brother to turn off the power, perhaps because it was too chaotic or there was some interference, the lights remained on.

Brother Qi and the others were about to leave through the side opening, but before they could get there, the younger brother guarding the side door ran over first and said in panic, "Brother, this is bad, the police have come through the back doors."

Brother Qi's heart skipped a beat, and the younger brothers beside him also showed expressions of panic.

At this time, they heard a few sharp whistles, and then the sound of neat military boots stepping on the ground. Then they saw policemen holding large rifles, wearing steel helmets and wearing gray uniforms rushing forward. The front row squatted, and the back row stood, pointing the black muzzles of their guns at everyone in the field.

Then there was a shout: "Everyone squat down and put your hands on your head. Those who violate this will be shot on the spot!"

Brother Qi's face turned pale. How could such a small dish of his have attracted the attention of the police? And he had paid tribute to the police before. Could it be Lao Hei? It must be Lao Hei! He must have got some extraordinary medicine. He was badly cheated by him this time!

The people in the venue did not dare to resist and squatted down obediently. The patrol officers of the police station were reserve troops. Once they changed their uniforms, they could be immediately sent to the battlefield. The guns in their hands could really kill people. Qi Ge and the others also squatted down helplessly, holding their hands behind their heads.

After the crowd quieted down, a patrol captain with a sharp look in his eyes walked out from the passage reserved for the queue. He looked around and said, "Who is Dou Qi?"

The younger brothers all turned around and looked at Brother Qi.

The patrol captain laughed and said, "Looks like there's no need to look for him anymore." He waved his hand and said, "Drag him out."

Immediately, two tall and strong patrolmen rushed forward and hit Brother Qi several times with the butts of their guns. The latter's head was bleeding and several teeth fell out. Then they dragged him out like a dead dog, put his hands behind his back and brought him in front of the patrol captain, then grabbed his hair and pulled it back, exposing his entire face to the light.

The captain of the patrol swept his face twice with his glove and said, "Are you Dou Qi?" He smiled and said, "Do you know what crime you committed?"

Brother Qi was forced to raise his chin and said in a leaky voice: "Please, sir, please be merciful. I will definitely give you enough as a gift."

"Know the rules."

The patrol captain seemed very satisfied and pointed around, "Forty of my brothers came today. We came all the way to your place at night. You have to pay for the travel expenses."

Brother Qi said immediately: "Brother, I understand. Even if I have to sell everything I have, I will give all the officers enough travel expenses."

"How else can you say you know the rules?"

The chief of police smiled again, but suddenly his expression changed again. He slapped the man in the face with his backhand, which made people grin. He said harshly: "You know the rules so well, but you still dare to attack the family of the patrolman? It seems that you are committing a crime knowingly?"

Brother Qi showed a look of horror, "Sir, I didn't, I didn't..."

The patrol captain said, "No, let me remind you, what did you do this afternoon?"

When the man in the flowered shirt in the crowd heard this, he shuddered all over and crouched even lower.

Brother Qi also reacted and immediately realized that he had been tricked by Shan Xiong. He hurriedly explained: "Sir, I didn't know, I really didn't know, I didn't know that the young man was a family member of the Patrol Bureau, I was also deceived."

Shan Xiong never told him about this matter, and said that the other party was just a poor student with good luck, otherwise he would have thought twice before touching him.

But he knew that it was meaningless to say this now, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, I know Qi Wu of the Iron Chain Gang, and I am paying tribute to him."

The patrol captain sneered, "Why, you're using chains to suppress me?" He said to a capable patrolman standing at the back of the queue, "Brother Wu, I found the person for you. You decide what to do next."

A young patrolman named Wu walked out, silently pulled out a Kenji 15th-year model pistol, released the safety, and fired four shots at Brother Qi's hands and feet.

Brother Qi screamed in agony, his whole body convulsed, and then he collapsed like a dead dog.

The patrol captain said: "Brother, you are kind-hearted and you spared his life."

Patrolman Wu pointed his gun downward and said in a very natural tone, "We have to take him back and ask who else was involved in this matter."

The patrol captain patted him on the shoulder, then walked to the middle of the field and said sternly, "Search for any contraband, and then call it a day."

A patrolman asked: "Captain, what about these people?"

The patrol captain said, "Take them back and interrogate them all."

"Yes!"

The patrolmen handcuffed these people one by one, but when it was the turn of the man in the baseball cap, he suddenly jumped up and ran straight to the door.

The patrolman guarding the door was well-trained and very decisive. Upon seeing the unusual movement, he shot at the man without hesitation. However, after a few pops, the man seemed to be unaffected except for a slight shake of his body. He rushed in front in the blink of an eye and lightly pushed the patrolman in the middle with his hands, and he fell to both sides, causing chaos.

However, someone was still quick to pull off his mask when he fell to the ground. Someone exclaimed, "It's Tong Qianjiang!"

This person has already rushed out at this moment.

There were patrolmen outside blocking the way, and gunshots were heard one after another. It seemed that they hit the man several times, but it was still useless. When the captain of the patrol team ran out, he only saw the man disappear into the darkness and disappeared after a while.

The patrol captain's face was filled with anger, "Damn it, this guy is wearing protective clothing!"

The Dashun Republic of China strictly guarded protective clothing that could effectively resist rifles, because this kind of thing was like ancient armor. If a person with excellent martial arts skills put it on and wield a sharp weapon, ordinary people would be slaughtered.

A patrolman ran over from behind, saluted, and said, "Captain, the brothers are fine, just a few bruises."

The patrol captain asked seriously, "Are you sure it's Tong Qianjiang?"

"A brother saw him last year. He was a member of the escort team. He should be right."

The patrol captain was puzzled. "Why is Tong Qianjiang here? Where did he get the protective clothing?"

But then he became excited again. Tong Qianjiang is the younger brother of the fugitive Tong Baitao. This group of people has disappeared since they escaped from prison. They were thought to have left Yangzhi City, but they did not expect to run into them here today.

These criminals have been on the run for a long time. If this case is solved, it will be a great achievement! I didn't expect that I would encounter such a good thing just by coming to help today.

The patrol captain called Patrolman Wu and said, "Brother Wu, I have to go back to the police station. This is a serious matter and must be reported. Go back and tell Captain Nian that if they find the whereabouts of Fang Dawei and his group, once the case is solved, you will also have a share of the credit for protecting the sealed area."
