"Eight thousand dollars is better than no dollar at all."
Sheyan started the conversation with this sentence.
The woman sitting in front of him seemed to be of Russian descent, her name was Hosina, and she was very skinny.
This woman has thin lips, pale cheeks, and a black bowler hat with a translucent gauze on it, which can cleverly cover most of her face. If you ignore the dense crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and her pale and saggy skin,
If so, then Sheyan must admit that if this woman was ten years younger, she would indeed be able to rely on sex in exchange for a job.
Overall, Sheyan felt that she was like a widow, the kind of widow who still wanted to save face despite her financial difficulties.
However, this woman's reaction was very strange. She did not give any specific answer at the first time. Instead, she started eating. Looking at her appearance, it seemed that she had not eaten for several meals. Until she had eaten two
After eating the food for everyone, he sighed comfortably and said:
"Are you surprised? Yes, my situation is very bad now. I haven't eaten for two meals. The reason is"
Having said this, Hosina raised her arms and rolled up her sleeves, revealing the needle holes on them:
"I took drugs, and the reason I took drugs was to fight the damn pain of terminal cancer."
Sheyan raised his eyebrows and didn't know what to say for a moment. However, Hosina showed an indifferent smile and said:
"So you can rest assured, because for a person who is about to die, he will not have any hidden thoughts."
Sheyan smiled and said:
"So what's your offer?"
Hosina said:
"The doctor said I still have six months. I hope I can eat enough during these six months, and then have enough money to buy medicine to not suffer from severe pain. The money is definitely more than nine thousand US dollars, but it is also
It won't be an outrageous number, one hundred thousand dollars. This is my bottom line. If you reject me, then I will inject all the remaining materials into my veins at once, and I never want to be touched by this damn world again.
Tortured.”
Sheyan ordered a private room. He simply took out fifty thousand dollars from the suitcase beside him and threw it in front of her, and then said calmly:
"This is an advance payment. When I am sure that what you told is true, then I will give you the remaining balance."
Hosina glanced at the money that was thrown on the table with that indifferent look, and did not reach out to take it eagerly. Instead, she asked Sheyan for a cigarette. She took a deep breath and began her story...
…
It was a rainy day, so cold that it seemed to penetrate my bones. That old pervert Didi actually fucked me once in such weather. As soon as we finished, someone knocked on the door of the diagnosis room.
It was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose, who looked very sinister. As soon as he entered the door, he asked me to go out and closed the door. This is a trick used by many salesmen. I have seen it too many times.
Normally, Didi would receive a red envelope next, but this red envelope often had to pass through my hands before being handed over to the tigress at home. So I ostensibly went out and closed the door.
, in fact, the activities in the nearby consulting room were closely monitored.
The middle-aged man sat in front of Didi's desk, then reached into his briefcase. What he took out was no doubt a stack of money.
A huge stack of money!
At that time, I felt in my heart that this guy probably wanted to get a big deal. But what he said subverted my perception.
"Mr. Didi, I hope to get a list of patients in the hospital who need heart surgery. The more serious the condition, the better."
For the sake of US dollars, Didi was very cooperative and provided a list. I believe you also know the person chosen by the middle-aged man in the end, Nicholas.
The only reason this guy was selected was that Nicholas' condition was too serious, but his desire to survive was also very strong. Even though he knew that the surgery only had a 30% chance of prolonging his life, he still insisted on doing it.
Because of this, even Nicholas himself believed that dying on the operating table was not surprising at all, so that person convinced Didi to conduct an experiment on Nicholas, seemingly to test the latest product developed by their company.
pacemaker, then even if something happens, other people will just think Nicholas deserves to die and won't think much about anything else.
Of course, the guy paid Didi a lot of money for it.
Needless to say what happened next, a miracle happened, Nicholas recovered, and Didi's reputation rose. However, occasional miracles could not cover up his poor medical skills, and in the end he retired early.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the aquiline nose never appeared again.
************
Hosina's words ended abruptly. She finally provided a huge piece of the puzzle, and the whole incident became clear.
Sheyan was staring at Hosina at this time and said calmly:
"You still haven't said something very crucial."
Hosina said calmly:
"I only got half the money."
Sheyan smiled brightly and threw the remaining money on the table. Hosina stretched out her fingers as thin as bamboo branches, but counted the bills quickly, and finally said:
"The man with the hooked nose claims his name is Doolittle. His pale face probably means he has coronary heart disease, and he walks with a limp. His right foot is crippled, and he probably has polio."
The facial signs of coronary heart disease are very obvious, and it is not unusual for Hosina to be able to see them at a glance. As for the second point, as long as she is a normal person, she can be sure.
Sheyan looked at his palm and said:
"No more?"
A flash of fear flashed in Hosina's eyes, but she was also about to die and didn't care about anything, so she gritted her teeth and said:
"The man named Doolittle has terrifying power."
Sheyan immediately became interested:
"Tell me about it."
Hosina asked for another cigarette, puffed on it slowly, and then said slowly after a while:
"I saw that Dolittle must be a very rich man, so after he gave Didi the money, he waited for him at the entrance of the hospital."
Speaking of this, Hosina gave a self-deprecating and bitter smile. Of course Sheyan knew that this ambitious woman must want to half threaten and half seduce this rich man. This is actually nothing special. Everyone has their own way of living. Hosina
Is it wrong to try to climb up?
"It was raining that day. When I was going downstairs, I was blocked by someone. As a result, I didn't catch up with him when I left the hospital. I watched this guy get into a taxi, but there happened to be a taxi passing by...
...I am a very stubborn person, and what I wanted to say to Doolittle could not be said in public, so I asked the taxi in front to follow him.
"After running about half of Los Angeles, Dolittle got off the car on a side street. He was about fifty or sixty meters away from me. I guessed that even if I called him, he might not be able to hear me. I watched him turn into the small street next to me.
After entering the alley, I was surrounded by a group of people. That group of people were FBI, and then...all those FBI died in just a few seconds! I saw weird lights interlaced and woven into a...
A terrifying net flew past them, and they were all cut into pieces as if they had been chopped with random knives!"
Hearing Hosina's words, Sheyan suddenly stood up and lost his composure. Being able to dismember a group of FBI elites within a few seconds was definitely not something that could be done by the Terminator. The only explanation was that the contractor was the one who could do it.
And he is a very powerful contractor!
In the end, this matter actually involved the contractor again. How could Sheyan not be surprised? More importantly, if other contractors were involved in this mysterious, weird, but richly rewarding mission, then...
It’s not a question of who eats the meat and who drinks the soup, it’s a question of losing your pants!
However, Sheyan then thought again. It had been several years since Hosina encountered this incident. Obviously, the contractor who was with Dolittle at that time must not be in this world now. Then the chance of a head-on conflict is zero. Could it be that
The final reward of this mission is to pick peaches yourself?
After thinking about it for a while, Sheyan took out another fifty thousand dollars, threw it in front of Hosina, and said word by word:
"Place, where was the place where you met Doolittle? After you answer this question, the money will be yours."
*********
Third Avenue, Long Beach, Los Angeles,
That is the address that Hosina provided to Fang Senyan.
At this time, Sheyan was in the car heading to this place. He was looking at the scenery outside the car window attentively. Brother Hei drove the car steadily and fast, not feeling any bumps at all.
So far, the secret about Nicholas can basically be said to have been solved.
Obviously, since the mysterious Doolittle wanted to experiment on Nicholas, and since Nicholas was a successful test subject, it was impossible for Doolittle not to avoid contact with him.
And Doolittle has long been targeted by the FBI, which must have implicated Nicholas.
Although Nicholas is timid, his secret is in his heart. If he doesn't tell it, it will be doubtful at best. If he tells it, he will die. So under the strong desire to survive, Nicholas naturally keeps it secret.
The nut engraved with SOS was probably the one that Nicholas had planned to give to Doolittle for help as a last resort, which shows that Nicholas also knew part of Doolittle's strength.
And the death of Nicholas shows that there is probably an earth-shattering secret in Dolittle, so that once the people who may be infected with this secret may escape from control, they would rather kill than let go! To be continued...
