Chapter 90 Rain falls
Chapter 90 Rain falls
On the road from Central to Victoria Harbour, an old-fashioned donkey cart is creaking through the streets of Kowloon.
The somewhat weary driver was sitting on the seat, waving his donkey whip intermittently, and seeing that there was really no one on the road, he was a little bored, so he pulled out a black and white newspaper from under his butt and flipped through it nonchalantly.
Under the dim light, only a few large words could be barely seen.
The Kowloon Cinema mass murder case is being solved!
Seeing this, the driver became interested and took a closer look.
Following severe condemnation by our newspaper's president, Chen Huangxi, and other celebrities from all walks of life, the Kowloon Police Superintendent, which had not made any statement until now, today issued a solemn statement that no criminals will be let off and vowed to maintain the safety of Kowloon.
Police Secretary Steve promised that the case would be solved within three days and justice would be done to the Kowloon residents who died unjustly.
The driver smacked his lips, remembering that the batch of goods behind him seemed to be an order from the police department. Thinking about his employer's requirements, he increased the force on the whip in his hand, and the donkey cart accelerated immediately.
Exquisite and intricate Western-style buildings were rapidly receding on both sides of the donkey cart, and the driver drove the donkey cart carrying the goods towards the Victoria Harbour Pier in the night.
"Hmmmm."
A deep and rough donkey bray sounded, and the donkey's hooves stopped moving. The driver stopped the car behind a spacious and low dock warehouse.
After taking a look at the huge inky cloud cluster that was so dark that the moon was invisible, the driver took down the oil lamp hanging in front of the car and turned around to carefully inspect the goods that his employer had asked him to transport this time.
Well, the oilcloth didn’t fall apart and the box wasn’t opened, so that’s good.
The driver felt relieved, sat back in his seat, and read the progressive opinions in the newspaper with great interest under the light.
Not far behind the carriage, Qin Huai, who had followed the driver all the way, also whispered something to the shadow behind him.
"Master Yu, this driver is an innocent passerby arranged by my informant. If a fight breaks out later, you better be careful."
"Know"
Yu Yang's voice came from the shadows, indicating to Qin Huai that he knew what was going on.
Qin Huai also lifted up the borrowed fine steel silver spear behind him, squatted down with Suiyun, and waited patiently with the coachman for the contact person.
"Swish"
After a long time, the sound of cloth shoes rubbing against the sandy road was heard, and a dark shadow appeared behind the deserted dock warehouse. The driver heard the noise and picked up the oil lamp and dagger, becoming alert.
"Who?!"
"Who else would come to this lousy place in this horrible weather? To pick up the goods!"
The person who came was Shen Ye, who had changed out of his white hat and helmet and came to meet the meeting wearing a coarse cloth shirt.
Seeing Shen Ye speaking rudely and cursing, the driver felt relieved and asked back.
"Where's the token? I can't give you the goods without seeing them."
"Stop talking so much, it's just a nuisance. Here you go, let's go."
Shen Ye threw the token at the driver, and hurriedly took down the long wooden box wrapped in oilcloth. When he opened it, he saw that it was indeed five of the best water beads. Only then did he let the driver go.
Seeing Shen Ye waving his hand to see him off, and that the token and the goods were all correct, the driver nodded, turned around and drove away.
"Is he the one you mentioned? Can he really lead us to find Yan Xiaoguo?"
Shadow whispered in Qin Huai's ear, looking at Shen Ye's lazy look, there were still some doubts in his words.
"Wait a little longer. If no one comes and he wants to leave, we'll follow him and see where he's going to send this thing."
As Qin Huai and Yu Yang were talking, two dark shadows appeared silently beside Shen Ye.
Yu Yang looked at the two human-shaped silhouettes emitting a faint red color in his field of vision, and realized that the real owner had arrived. Then he remembered his request regarding the Yanfu incident, and whispered to Qin Huai.
"When the fight starts, there's a leader of the death squad named Wang Zhongjun left for me."
"clear"
After checking the goods, two elite soldiers grabbed Shen Ye who wanted to leave and said in a dull voice,
"Take us to the black market. There is business for you to do."
Shen Ye saw that the weather was bad and wanted to go home to sleep, but when he heard that there was business to be done again, he rubbed his hands and came up, begging for money like a grinning weasel.
The assassin took out a dollar with an expressionless face and placed it in Shen Ye's palm, and ordered coldly, "Lead the way first, we will need your money when we get to the black market."
All three of them were martial artists skilled in martial arts, and after a short while they arrived at the famous Kowloon black market.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you that this black market is based in the lawless area of Kowloon Walled City, where all kinds of people are mixed together, and there are many ruthless people and villains.
Did you know that the Li family, who have been very popular on the island recently, are the ones who are in charge of the black market?
Don't cause any trouble when you go in, their firepower is much stronger than your guns."
As Shen Ye led people in, he muttered something about the taboos of the black market.
"Is there a place that sells guns and explosives?"
"We don't have any foreign guns. If we did, we probably wouldn't sell them to strangers like you. But we do have explosives, but they're all industrial explosives for mining. Is that right?"
"Take us there."
Shen Ye curled his lips and took the two of them to the grocery store run by the Li family.
"Brother, we have brought someone to you."
Shen Ye looked at Wang Zhongjun who was waiting at the door. Before he realized anything was wrong, he was dragged into the grocery store by Wang Zhongjun.
"I want you to find a way to deliver these explosives to the newspaper office and the herbal medicine store and blow them to pieces. If you can do it to my satisfaction, you will be paid a lot of money!"
Wang Zhongjun had a vicious mind. He knew he couldn't win by being open about it, so he wanted to do something sneaky and launch a night attack.
Shen Ye looked at the pile of explosives in front of him, which had been equipped with fuses and were just waiting to be detonated, and swallowed hard. This time, he didn't ask how much it cost, but he shook his head like a rattle, his face full of resistance.
"No, I'm an information dealer, not a killer. If I help you do this, I will definitely be wanted in the future. I don't want to be forced to drift overseas and die on a wild island in a foreign country."
Wang Zhongjun took out a bulging purse and placed it in Shen Ye's hand with a cold and cruel look in his eyes.
"Either you take the money and do good things. Or you don't want the money and keep your life."
Shen Ye looked at Wang Zhongjun who had his hand on the hilt of the knife, rolled his eyes, and nodded with difficulty.
"Give me two days and I'll try my best."
After hearing Shen Ye's promise, Wang Zhongjun loosened the collar of the gambler, waved his hand, and signaled Shen Ye to get out.
"Don't let the news leak out, or I'll make you pay later!"
Qin Huai, who was hanging far behind, watched the three people enter the grocery store, and his eyes became unpredictable.
"Master Yu, your methods are unpredictable. Can you go in and listen?"
Yu Yang didn't reply, but it seemed that he had already gone into the grocery store to find out the news.
After a while, Qin Huai frowned when he saw Shen Ye leaving first with a lot of bags. He wanted to follow him to see, but Yu Yang hadn't sent back any news, so he couldn't act rashly. He had to suppress his emotions and continue waiting.
After a while, Qin Huai felt the fluctuations behind him and asked in a low voice.
"Any news?"
"A leader wants that person to bomb a newspaper office and a herbal medicine store. I'm afraid it's not targeting you."
Yu Yang's tone was also a little solemn, worried that this unexpected change would disrupt their original plan.
"How about we deal with the weak thug with explosives first?"
Qin Huai hesitated for a while, but when he thought of the mechanical hound in his hand and Li Bingwu who stayed at home, he shook his head.
"Let's find their lair with these men in black tonight. As for that thug, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Rumble"
Thunder rumbled, and soon, raindrops as big as beans fell down with a loud bang, shattering on the road surface and stirring up a cloud of water mist.
Qin Huai looked at the black-clad warriors who were hurriedly returning home with a large number of things in the rainy night. He licked his moist lips, and his eyes were shining with a faint green light.
