Can't you tell the monkey apart? It wasn't the monkey.
He Lingchuan then stepped forward and kicked his leg: "Speak honestly, or I will chop you into pieces and throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
His expression was calm and his tone was calm, as if he was buying vegetables at the market and telling the stall owner, "Cut this piece of pork in half for me. I don't want any more." However, the prisoner heard the horror.
Usually he would have to say a few harsh words to prop up the scene, such as if you are finished, my brother will not let you go.
But somehow, he suddenly felt that this man could do what he said, so he was more honest with his mouth than in his heart, and he immediately gave in:
"You, you ask!"
"name?"
The prisoner trembled and confessed everything.
It turned out that he was called Ah Hao. He had forgotten who his parents were since he was a child. He came from the mainland of China. Two and a half years ago, he got involved in a small gang at the dock. He usually made a living by sneaking and abducting people, and also collected the initial money.
The first payment is protection fee. Some are collected from shops, some are collected from hawkers, and some are collected from leather and meat businesses.
Occasionally, he and his companions on the ground would smuggle chewing tobacco from other places.
Dong Rui said contemptuously: "You have been like this for two years, you haven't become famous yet."
Ah Hao smiled bitterly: "In the past two years, there have been many foreigners who have fled to the country of Hong and come to the port. They all have to make money. So there are many people in any profession."
Even the gangster industry has begun to involute.
Dong Rui sighed: "There are still people trying their best to squeeze in to this poor place?"
"Compared to those war-torn places in the east, it's pretty good. Even women can find food here." Don't worry about whether it's sour or not, at least you're not starving to death. Ah Hao doesn't think there's anything bad here.
"The refugees said they had seen cannibals in the east. A man was sleeping in a ruined temple when he was suddenly held down and one of his arms chopped off. The man politely said to him, 'As long as he doesn't resist, we will
I won’t hurt you, I’ll just eat your arm.’ This man really doesn’t resist.”
"Then what?" Dong Rui was a little curious, "They don't really mean what they say, do they?"
"How is that possible? The other party chopped off one of his arms, and the man fainted from the pain." Ah Hao couldn't help but stretched out his hand to gesture, "Then the other person raised the knife and chopped off his head. Don't look at people who are thin and lean.
, it can still stew two pots of soup. After five hours, only the bones of this man will be left, and even his eyeballs will be swallowed."
He Lingchuan suddenly asked him: "Who got the chewing tobacco? You or your companion?"
Ah Hao curled his lips: "Me, of course it's me. I can get good goods at low prices. This guy -"
He pointed to his unconscious companion on the ground: "I'm not willing to take him with me, but he has been around longer than me and was appointed by the boss."
He Lingchuan returned to the topic:
"Are you familiar with Fuyu Ghost Market?"
If they are new here, it's best to find someone they know well.
Ah Hao nodded like rice: "Yes, yes, I go there often. There are several restaurants there that are under my control!"
Where the authorities cannot control, there will be people who will.
He Lingchuan looked up and saw that it was almost evening and the sun was about to set.
"Accompany us to visit the ghost market."
"Ah?" Does Ahao have the right to refuse? "Oh, okay, okay."
His companion was still lying in the alley, but his life was not in danger.
As soon as Dong Rui raised his chin, the ghost ape jumped on Ahao's shoulder. The latter's liver trembled with fear, fearing that it would bite him on the neck, but the ghost ape just squatted down and yawned again.
"If you try to run away, it will tear your neck apart in an instant." Dong Rui pointed at his demon puppet, "You can compare speed with it."
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Ahao frowned and could only accompany these two evil stars to go shopping.
It's really unlucky. Why did I encounter such two evil stars when I was patrolling the streets today!
He pointed at the tall man lying unconscious on the ground: "He, he's not dead, right?"
"He won't wake up before tomorrow morning."
"Well, you two wait, I'll be there soon!"
There were a bunch of broken baskets in the alley, and Ah Hao specially used the baskets to cover his companions. It was dimly lit here, and even if a guest passed by, he might not realize that there was someone hiding here.
He actually still had the heart to do this. He Lingchuan was watching from the side, silently and without urging.
There is a lonely peninsula called Fuyu next to Julu Port. There is a small town on it. It was originally used for warehousing and freight transportation, but later developed into the largest ghost market within a hundred miles.
Various transactions are held in storefronts and warehouses along the street.
In addition to cheap goods, there are also goods of unknown origin.
He Lingchuan walked around and found that the quality of the goods here was generally not as good as that of the platinum ghost market, and there were a lot of fake goods. If you want to find something, you have to rely on your sharp eyes.
The sacred bone necklace around his neck was silent, and there was nothing he wanted to eat. He Lingchuan could feel its disgust.
This guy is getting more and more picky.
But there is actually another invisible valuable item that is secretly circulating in ghost markets everywhere:
intelligence.
"Fuyu Ghost Market, can anyone release information?"
"Okay." There are too many restrictions, is it still called a ghost market? Ah Hao led the two of them to a jujube tree, pointing to the big sign under the tree, "I want to buy something, whether it is information or objects.
, just post it here. If others see it, they will contact them."
The notice board was covered with all kinds of colorful strips and cardboard, which looked very much like the psoriasis advertisements He Lingchuan saw in another world.
Each note states the reason for purchase and contact information.
"If anyone wants to trade with them, they will tear the note away."
This kind of private-to-private transaction is indeed very secretive, but it is a hindrance to He Lingchuan: "What if I want to check the purchase records of the previous period?"
"Then we have to ask Mr. Lu for help. It is here every day and has a photographic memory." Ah Hao said, "But you must prepare a souvenir before you can ask Mr. Lu for help."
Mr. Lu?
"What kind of gift?"
"Small animals like mice, birds, or raw meat."
When Dong Rui heard this, he knew that "Mr. Lu" was not a human being. "I have it, please take it."
Ah Hao immediately pursed his lips and made two cooing sounds.
Just hearing the flapping sound of wings, a big bird flew over from the big tree behind and stopped on top of the sign.
This is a brown eagle owl, with two tufts of pointed hair standing up above its ears, like antennas.
It opened a pair of yellow eyes and asked the three of them:
"What are you looking for?"
It turns out that it has been hiding in the big tree opposite the notice board. Isn't it just a matter of keeping an eye on it?
"A few months ago, someone came here to buy Ding Lamp Grass; a month ago, someone came here to buy Du Yun Stone." He Lingchuan asked it, "Do you remember?"
"Ming Deng Cao, Du Yun Shi?" Eagle Owl thought for a while, with half-closed eyelids, "They are not common things. Well, yes, I remember it!"
