3. Assassination and counter-assassination
On the slippery and muddy coastal dirt road, there are very few people. Donnie has walked five or six kilometers, and he has not seen even a single person.
The Ford Model T looking for Downey drove out of Atlantic City at this time, and the two men in peaked caps were sitting in the car.
Two men were driving, and the other was sitting in the passenger seat. The man sitting in the passenger seat was wiping the pistol on his hand.
"Brill, why did the boss ask us to kill a soldier who has just returned to Atlantic City? Did this man have a good relationship with the brigadier general before?"
The man who was cleaning the pistol asked curiously as he drove down the muddy and slippery dirt road in front of him after wiping the pistol.
"But if that's the case, how can that Donny Bullock take over the Korla Tavern, which is about to close down due to Prohibition?"
Burrell said without turning his head: "How do I know? We just need to complete the things assigned by the boss. Why is there so much nonsense!"
At this point, Brere paused and continued: "Daniel, that Donny Bullock should be returning to his hometown, and he must have some cash in his hand. I will remember to find his money first.
Beat him to death again!"
Daniel nodded, with a bloodthirsty expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Of course, the turnover of the Korla Tavern in the past two days and the funds from his retirement should be enough for us to spend a few days at the Ritz Hotel!"<
/p>
Brielle also showed a reserved smile, and then said: "But we still have to be careful. The boss said that Donny Bullock's performance on the battlefield was very heroic before. He should be very skilled. Don't capsize in the gutter.
That’s great!”
Daniel thought at this time that when the two of them went out to perform the task, what their boss told them was somewhat disdainful.
"The boss is too careful, how could we be subdued by him alone!"
Brier smiled and said: "It's better to be more careful. Our two families are in the hands of the boss. Even if we are really subdued by him, we must follow the boss's instructions, otherwise there will be consequences
You know it!"
It can be judged from Burrell's tone that he doesn't think that the two of them with guns can't subdue an unarmed veteran soldier!
"Instead of thinking about such an impossible thing, it would be more appropriate to think about who we can find to accompany us at the Reitz Hotel tonight!" Daniel put the pistol in his pocket, then put his hands behind his head and leaned his whole body
On the car seat, there was a relaxed smile on his face.
"Even if that kid doesn't have much money left, the remuneration given by the boss is enough for us to live happily for a while!"
After hearing this, Burrell also smiled.
At this moment, Burrell suddenly saw Downey walking alone in front of him!
"Look, is it that person?"
Burrell pushed Daniel with his right hand.
Daniel sat up straight and took out a photo from his jacket pocket. The photo was of Downey when he was in the army.
"How would I know just by looking at the back!"
Daniel complained while holding the photo.
Burrell stepped on the accelerator, and the car accelerated and splashed mud on the ground.
The roar of the car caught Downey's attention. Downey turned around and saw the Ford Model T, and also saw the two people in the car sizing him up.
Seeing the expressions of these two strangers, Downey's expression tightened. Although Downey in his previous life had later become corrupted in the police force, his skills were real, especially when it came to looking at people.
The two people in the car had fierce eyes and cold expressions, and their eyes were focused on themselves. This kind of look was not the look of curious passers-by.
Thinking of this, Downey's heart tightened, and he put his right hand into his trouser pocket, where the loaded 'Colt 1911' was placed.
At the same time, Brielle and Daniel have also recognized Downey's identity.
Burrell, who recognized Downey, stepped on the accelerator, and the car passed Downey's body. Downey stood there without moving, watching the car turn 3 meters in front of him, blocking the middle of the road.
.
Immediately, Daniel, who was sitting in the passenger seat, stood up in the car and jumped through the window... The passenger door of this generation of Ford Model T cannot be opened.
Seeing the other party's actions, Downey didn't hesitate at all. He took out his pistol and shot Daniel in the passenger seat.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, and Daniel, who had not yet landed, opened his eyes wide and looked at Downey in disbelief. He didn't understand how Downey had a gun?
At the same time, what Daniel didn't understand even more was, why did Downey shoot without hesitation?
Did the other party know his purpose this time?
But only the two of them and their boss know about this matter, unless their boss betrays them, but this is impossible!
Are people so irritable now?
Shoot a stranger when you see him?
All thoughts were momentary. When Daniel landed, the bullet had already entered his chest. Although he did not die directly, it also made Daniel's vision black and he fainted completely.
Also frightened by Downey's shot was Burrell, who was about to get out of the driver's seat. After the gunshot, Burrell subconsciously bent down and tried to block Downey's bullet with the car door.
He took out his pistol with one hand and tried to open the car door with the other hand!
Downey's actions were coherent. After shooting, he threw away his backpack and ran in a "Z" pattern toward the car.
Although Downey doesn't know the true intentions of the other two, for the sake of his own safety, Downey will never have any pitiful thoughts about hurting innocent people.
While running rapidly, Downey still did not forget to shoot at the driver's seat of the car. At this time, Burrell also completed his actions and finally hid behind the car body. At the same time, he prepared to
Start fighting back against Downey with a pistol.
However, the position where he just parked the car was too close to Downey. When he was about to fight back, Downey had already walked in front of him and shot Daniel through the wrist. There was a muffled sound on the ground.
The pistol fell to the ground.
"Ah!!!!"
Burrell instantly let out a scream, and tightly held his bleeding right wrist with his left hand!
It was at this time that Downey had already arrived in front of him. He first kicked away the pistol that fell on the ground, then held the gun against Burrell with his right hand. He threw away Burrell's hat with his left hand and dragged Burrell away.
The other party's hair directly dragged him to the other side of the car and threw him next to Daniel who was leaning on the car.
After seeing that these two people no longer posed any threat, Downey breathed a sigh of relief. If he had hesitated just a moment ago, he was the one lying on the ground now!
Picking up the pistol that Daniel had dropped on the ground, Downey slapped Briar hard in the face and asked coldly: "Who sent you here?"
Facing the two people who suddenly appeared and the pistols in their hands, Downey was sure that there were only two possibilities for the other party. The first was to rob Dao, and the second was sent by others to cause trouble for him.
After all, in Donny Bullock's memory, there is no memory of these two people.
Now Downey directly asked them who sent them, which was actually a little trick during the torture process. He directly confirmed the two people's crimes. This would make them subconsciously think that their behavior had been discovered by him.
.
If the psychological quality of the two of them is not up to par, they will most likely follow Downey's advice and tell him about his situation!
The severe pain in his wrist made Briar less confused. At this time, he had the same idea as Daniel just now.
Why does Donny Bullock have a gun?
How dare Donny Bullock shoot directly?
But the situation at this time was not one where he had the right to speak. After seeing Donny Bullock's behavior just now, he was sure of one thing, that is, Donny Bullock was a ruthless person!
"I said, I said!"
Holding back the pain in his wrist, Burrell said in a trembling voice: "We were hired by George Korler with money, and he asked us to kill you!"
"George Korler?"
Downey, who was holding a pistol, had doubts in his heart.
George Korle is naturally familiar to Downey, because he is his former company commander!
"The other party wants to kill people and silence them? Or is it something else?"
Downey couldn't help but think, "No, the other party has no reason to do this. Downey Bullock has accepted his conditions. Logically speaking, there should be no other conflicts between the two parties now?"
"Why did he ask you to kill me?" Downey, who couldn't understand, asked Burrell.
Brier shook his head and said: "We don't know either, we just collect money to do things, but...but..."
"But what?" Donnie asked, tapping Brielle's forehead with his pistol.
Brier said hesitantly: "I vaguely remember hearing him say that I was afraid that you would reveal any secrets!"
"That's killing people and silencing them!" Downey thought subconsciously, but then he denied his guess. This matter was a little too smooth!
The other party came to kill me, and then was subdued by me. Without doing anything, the other party told me the reason for the murder.
And this person is still George Korle, who has a dispute with him!
This situation made Downey have the idea that the other party wanted to tell him the reason!
Bang!
Thinking of this, Downey didn't hesitate, shot Brielle directly in the thigh, and said sternly.
"Who do you think I am? How dare you use such an excuse to deceive me? I saved George Korle's life back then! How could he kill me?"
Ah!!!!
Brielle was once again frightened by Donnie's cruelty, and at the same time, the pain on his thigh made him unable to help but continue to scream.
It was this scream, coupled with his own pain, that woke up Daniel who had just been unconscious!
Seeing Daniel wake up, Downey hit Briar's head hard with the butt of his gun, and then asked Daniel, who had just woken up but was already weak, "Who sent you here?"
Daniel was obviously still shocked by Donny Bullock's cruelty. When Donny was about to become impatient, he hurriedly said.
"It's George Korle, George Korle!"
