August 8, 10 a.m.
Lian woke up from a deep sleep. She immediately got up from the bed and knocked on the door of the room next door. The old beggar she found last night was still sleeping, so Lian woke him up directly.
"Keep rehearsing."
Lian took the beggar to a relatively remote hotel on the lower floor last night, and then began to ask the beggar to remember some things and perform some performances. The beggar did not ask Lian why he did this, but he still had 1,000 yuan to take.
Hardworking.
The old beggar’s name is Tony. He is 89 years old. In order to pay the 150 yuan tax every month to maintain the citizenship level 1, he basically has to travel here and there every day. If he has 1,000 yuan now, Tony can do it in the next few months.
Live more comfortably.
Lian admired Tony's acting skills very much. After all, he had already developed good acting skills by performing miserably on the street every day.
Tony practiced with Lian over and over again until noon. Lian bought Tony a pair of old clothes. The reason for using the old clothes was so that Tony's identity would not change. He was still a beggar, but he had an additional contact person.
identity of.
"Thank you, miss."
Tony looked gratefully at the sumptuous lunch and 1,000 yuan in cash that Lian bought.
"After the matter is completed, I will give you another 1,000, but you must promise not to tell anyone about this matter."
Tony nodded, and after having lunch and resting for an hour, the two continued to rehearse until about 7 o'clock in the evening. After dinner, Lian took Tony to see Robert.
With an uneasy mood, Lian led Tony into the hidden apartment. The three of them were not in the room below, but were anxiously waiting for Lian to come over.
"Sorry for being late, Mr. Tony usually doesn't come out during the day."
At this time, along with a strange smell, the three of them saw a ragged beggar, but the beggar looked very energetic. The first impression made Robert and the other two feel relieved.
"Hello Mr. Tony."
Lian was taking out the food from the bag, and Robert had already walked over, but Tony did not come into the room. Instead, he put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the door, looking more cautious.
"I've been doing this for ten years."
As soon as Tony opened his mouth, Kent behind Robert asked.
"Mr. Tony, I don't know if you take us to the barrier area. Is the route safe?"
Sure enough, Kurt asked as soon as he opened his mouth, and Tony smiled.
"Stupid question. One hundred thousand dollars per person, and within three years, he will receive regular food and drinks every month, and even cigarettes and alcohol."
Kent was still looking at Tony, and he still had some doubts. Wang Yi was already so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he started to eat first. Lian stood aside silently, waiting quietly, with his heart almost rising to his throat.
"You have to pay 50,000 yuan in advance. I will make arrangements immediately. You can leave the city in half a month at most."
Robert nodded and stretched out his hand to shake Tony's hand, but Tony refused.
"This is my personal reason."
Although Tony knew in advance that the person he was going to meet was not someone to be trifled with, he still couldn't help but panic and his hands began to tremble, so he couldn't shake Robert's hand.
At this time Kent spoke again.
"Mr. Tony, can you tell us how to get out?"
"Trade secrets."
Tony did not answer Kent's question directly, and Kent did not intend to ask. At this time, the room fell into a strange dullness again, and everyone was thinking. At this time, Lian picked up a bottle of water and took the opportunity to use it towards Tony.
Wink.
"If you think about it carefully, you will pay tonight and I will start making arrangements immediately. After all, I still have a lot of business here."
In the end, the three of them nodded in agreement. Robert took 50,000 yuan from the leather bag that Lian brought and gave it to Tony. Tony couldn't help but tremble after taking the money. His hands were shaking violently. Both Kent and Wang Yi felt it.
Strangely, Lian clenched her fists quietly, her eyes always glancing at the three bottles of ice water she brought.
It is quite hot here because there is no ventilation and the direct sunlight is strong during the day. There is no poison in the bottle I drank.
The ice cube will completely dissolve in about half an hour, and the poison inside will volatilize. Now Lian just wants to know quickly where the money of the other two people is.
There was no turning back. Lian was very drunk last night, but her consciousness was sober. After she found the beggar, she knew that there was no way back.
"It's an old habit. I used to drink a lot."
At this time, Tony said with a relaxed expression and put away the 50,000 yuan. The room was a little stuffy, so Lian took out a bottle of water and handed it to Tony.
This is mint-flavored ice water that Lian went to a beverage store to buy in the afternoon. When she was adding ice cubes, she took the opportunity to use a syringe to inject poison into the ice cubes, and then let it freeze for a while.
Tony opened it without much thought and took a sip. He counted the money, and Lian had thought of almost every detail.
"I want to help you advance the payment, Mr. Tony. I hope you can arrange it as soon as possible."
Robert said and gave Tony another 100,000 yuan. At this time, Wang Yi and Kent were also a little shaken, and they walked over.
"Sorry Lian."
After speaking, Kent gave Lian the note with the place where the money was hidden. Wang Yi also quickly wrote the note with the place where the money was hidden. Lian nodded.
"Sorry."
The ice cube looked smaller again, Lian squeezed the bottle in her hand tightly, then Tony carried the money and planned to leave, Lian followed behind.
"Lian, no one blames you. I hope you can understand this."
Robert said something, and then Lian raised her head and said.
"I will definitely make money in three years, and I will find someone to send you food regularly."
Lian walked across the iron bridge, tears could not help but roll in her eyes. Everything felt relaxed. Before she left, she glanced at the three people who were drinking water. In order to let the three people drink water, Lian specially bought it today.
Had some wine and some heavy food.
The three of them drank wine happily, treating it as a farewell ceremony for themselves.
Lian couldn't hold back her tears anymore. When she came to the street, she kept wiping her tears, but she still took the money back from Tony's hand. Then Lian took out a wad of bills and handed them directly to Tony.
"I won't tell anyone trust me."
Tony was a little panicked, because at first Lian just said that he had a dispute with someone, but now it seems that is not the case at all, and Tony also guessed that the identities of the three people should be wanted criminals, and only wanted criminals would want to run to the barrier area.
.
Lian snorted, and then Tony left quickly. After a while, Lian quickly disappeared into an alley, fell into invisibility, and tracked her directly from the roof. She had to wait for Tony to die first, and then go get another one.
Two people's money, and finally go back to them and take the remaining money.
All the plans were extremely clear in Lian's mind. Lian looked at Tony who was running quickly. He looked very happy, but also very scared.
At around 9 o'clock in the evening, Lian followed Tony to the north, which was a large abandoned and dilapidated area. Tony lived in it. Lian followed Tony all the way. He finally returned to his dilapidated hut and turned on the light.
Finally, Tony sat down and leaned against the wall tiredly.
Tony put the water in his pocket on the table. Lian watched quietly from outside. The ice cubes had melted. Sure enough, Tony took out some leftover bread from today's lunch and took a few bites, then picked up the water and drank it.
Drink it all.
Lian clenched her fists and waited quietly for Tony to fall. Then she went in to take away the money. The sudden death of a down-and-out beggar would not have any impact.
However, time passed by minute by minute. Lian's eyes widened and she looked at Tony in the room in disbelief. Not only did he not fall down, but he was still counting the money very energetically.
Immediately following the vibration in her pocket, Lian panicked and hurriedly ran away. She had been deceived.
"Hello, how are you doing, sister?"
"How dare you lie to me."
Lian said fiercely, and Ran Zai's laughter came from the phone.
"How did you know my number?"
"It's easy to get someone's number, isn't it? How about sister, the plan went smoothly."
At this time, Lian collapsed on the ground in relief, sweat dripping down her cheeks, and she felt extremely painful in her heart.
"Does "killing" feel good?"
Lian smiled weakly.
"Do you always like to play tricks like this?"
Then Ran Zai mentioned a place, and Lian stood up and walked quickly. At 10:34, Lian came to the second floor of a beverage shop in the 31st District of the East. Sure enough, she saw Ran Zai sitting and drinking.
