Chapter 60 Accident
In the Tangkou office, Lu Zonghao heard the ringtone and put out his cigarette butt to answer the phone.
On the other side of the phone, there was still a joking voice: "Lu Si
, you should have prepared all the money I want, right?"
Lu Zonghao grinded his teeth slightly: "What do you want to do today?"
A burst of laughter came from the receiver: "Go to the Kwai Tsing Landfill and wait for the call."
The landfill the other party mentioned is located in Zuizuiwan, Kwai Tsing District. It was closed in 1979, but locals are still used to this name.
When Lu Zonghao arrived, the former landfill had been covered with loess and turned into an empty space awaiting planning.
It felt very uncomfortable to be watched secretly. As soon as he stood on the flat field, the other party's phone call came: "I'll walk to Kwai Chung Pier 5, I'll give you half an hour."
Lu Zonghao asked, "Can't I just put the money down for you?"
"The story of your vicious fight with flower crabs has spread. I don't want to be caught by you. I have to be more careful with the money I earned at the risk of my life. This will be good for you and me."
The other party did not give in at all: "Remember to take the main road, I have to see if anyone is following you."
Ever since Yin Peng died, Lu Zonghao always felt that he was being led by the other party. Now that the clues had been cut off, he naturally would not bring anyone over to provoke the other party. He could only follow the other party's instructions and walk with the bag containing the money.
Half an hour later, Lu Zonghao just arrived near the pier and received another call from the other party: "Take a detour to the Tsing Yi Bridge. There is a motorcycle parked on it. The key is left at the same place."
Lu Zonghao had no temper at all. He walked towards the bridge with his travel bag on his back and said to the phone at the same time: "The last time you asked me for money, you said that after you got one million hush money, we would go our separate ways.
, but in just one week, they asked me for money again. Don’t you think this frequency is like killing the goose that lays the egg?”
"Don't say that. I originally wanted to ask you for a sum of money, but you and I were on different sides, but you were so focused on tracking down Yin Peng that you had to drive me to a dead end, didn't you?"
The other party sneered and said: "Since you don't want me to live, then I will naturally teach you some lessons. What happened today is what you asked for."
"Stop covering yourself up with a fig leaf. You and I both know that even if there was no Yin Peng incident, the matter between us would not be resolved so easily."
Lu Zonghao couldn't find out the details of the other party for the time being, so he could only choose to delay: "Since you know me so well, you must have conducted a detailed investigation on me. Then I believe you should also know that with my ability, it is difficult for me to do this for a long time.
You provide a lot of money.”
The other party couldn't help but smile: "Are you crying to me about poverty?"
"No, I just think we should set a rule."
Lu Zonghao said straight to the point: "I can give you money, but we'd better talk clearly. In order to come up with today's one million, I have borrowed a loan shark. I believe you have my secret, not to force me to death."
I just want to gain benefits. Since my death is meaningless to you, there is no need for you to fish for it, right?"
The other party was a little impatient: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Lu Zonghao responded: "Let's agree on a specific number. I will give you a regular amount of money every month, but this amount must be within a range acceptable to both you and me. What do you think?"
The other party pondered for a moment: "Okay, starting from today, give me 800,000 at the end of every month."
"Two hundred thousand!"
Lu Zonghao responded: "My current source of income is only one street. I receive 800,000 yuan in protection fees every month, 400,000 yuan has to be handed over to the society, and 70% needs to be handed over to the church. I can only get 120,000 yuan."
The income, which also includes the expenses of guarding the street, is enough to raise two hundred thousand, which is my limit."
"Are you kidding me? Two hundred thousand dollars are just for a beggar?"
The other party snorted coldly, pondered for a few seconds and then said: "Fifty thousand a month, this is my bottom line. As for how to come up with this money, that is your problem."
Lu Zonghao heard the other party's determination, and after buying himself a month, he could only compromise: "I have already entered the bridge, where is the motorcycle parked?"
"Go forward along the bridge and stop at the second sign."
The other party dropped these words and hung up the phone.
When Lu Zonghao heard what the other party said, he had roughly guessed the transaction method.
This guy put himself on the bridge not just to go around in circles, but to let him throw the money off the bridge.
The reason why he hung up the phone was to inform his teammates that he was on the bridge.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Zonghao walked to the warning sign mentioned by the other party, a big brother number called: "Stand by the guardrail and throw down the bag containing the money."
Lu Zonghao glanced around, and at his feet was the storage area of Kwai Chung Pier 5. Containers were stacked one after another, looking like a maze from a high position.
He had already learned the other party's caution and dropped the backpack containing the money along the guardrail.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the backpack landed, a motorcycle rushed out from the gap between the containers.
The cyclist's skills were very good. He didn't even stop when he passed by the travel bag. Instead, he leaned against the car and grabbed the backpack in his hand.
"Didi!"
At this moment, a container transport truck came from the front. When the driver saw the speeding motorcycle, he honked the horn and stepped on the accelerator.
"Squeak!"
Before the rider could return the motorcycle to the right position, he suddenly tightened the accelerator when he saw the transport truck rushing out.
Even so, the motorcycle still rolled out and hit the front of the transport truck.
When Lu Zonghao saw the fallen rider, he hesitated for less than a second and quickly ran towards the lower bridge.
The sound of the two cars colliding attracted the attention of the patrol police at the distant pier. Two police officers rode motorcycles and drove over quickly, preparing to rescue the injured.
The rider who fell to the ground heard the sound of the siren, and like a frightened rabbit, he lifted up the motorcycle whose handlebar was knocked crooked, and quickly disappeared into the dense containers with his travel bag.
There are already many smugglers in a place like the dock. The rider's behavior of running away aroused the suspicion of the police, and one of them took the lead in chasing him.
When Lu Zonghao went around to the bridge, the driver of the transport truck had been restrained by another patrol policeman, and he argued loudly: "Ah Si
, I was just driving normally, and the lunatic suddenly rushed over, and I tried my best to remedy it. Besides, private cars are not allowed here at all. He is looking for death. You can't cause trouble for me, right?"
The patrolman sullenly handcuffed the driver and dragged him towards the dock police office: "Stop talking nonsense and come with me to the police office for investigation!"
Lu Zonghao, who was hiding in the dark, saw that there was no one else at the scene, so he quickly ran to the truck, bent down and got under it.
When he was on the bridge just now, he suddenly saw something flying out of the rider's body, and he was heading towards this thing.
