Chapter 443 The wind rises, the murderous intention
Night, streets, busy with traffic.
The night view of Xiangjiang is really beautiful. Whether you are overlooking the whole island from the top of Victoria Peak, or you are immersed in it like now, driving a car through the streets extending in all directions. You can see from a distance or up close. It is different from different angles.
Beauty.
Especially after the rain. It rained all day and night, washing away the lead and dust brought by the reinforced concrete itself, and temporarily suppressing the impetuous noise of this bustling city, and the fresh air came in, making the place feel more relaxed.
People feel relaxed and happy.
There are densely packed advertising signs on both sides of the road, hanging door heads, flashing with yellow characters on a blue background, or red characters on a black background, white characters on a red background, etc. All the neon brilliance eventually turned into a huge and bulky car body with piano paint and skimming on the glass windows.
The floating light and shadow of the past flashed in the field of vision, but quietly stayed in the bottom of my heart, leaving behind a colorful impression and memory.
Of course, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of it if you see it too much. For example, Xie Wei, who is sitting in the middle seat in the back row, has been in Xiangjiang for several days and has seen night scenes like this several times. Logically speaking,
She shouldn't be interested anymore. But at this moment, she was still looking at the night view outside the window with interest. At the same time, she folded her hands on her knees and thighs, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her mood was obviously relaxed and happy.
In comparison, Tang Chao, who was sitting in the driver's seat in front and holding the steering wheel, was somewhat attentive. While he was familiar with the situation of the car, he frequently looked at the left and right rearview mirrors to check the distance between the cars, and carefully changed lanes to block traffic jams.
He couldn't be careful. The 5.72-meter-long vehicle under his butt was really too exaggerated and heavy. If he wasn't careful, he would get bumped. Although he wouldn't care about it, let alone feel distressed, it would cause unnecessary disputes and troubles.
, wasting time is not what he wants to see.
Yes, that's right, they chose to steal the car after all. Oh, no, it was Tang Chao who chose to steal the car, and it had nothing to do with Xie Wei.
It’s not just a matter of saving money, although in Tang Chao’s view, it’s just too wasteful and inhumane to spend a lot of money to book a presidential suite that you won’t use at all.
...The main reason is to consider the follow-up safety issues. Xiangjiang is not as good as abroad. The camera surveillance system on the road here is very complete. If someone gets some clues and then finds Xie Wei along the way, it will be a troublesome thing after all. Avoid it if you can.
.
In addition, honestly speaking, the car he stole is not bad, and can even be called a luxury car. Of course, it is a 93 Cadillac Fleetwood from the last century, a quite classic luxury car.
After turning a few streets, the high-rise hotel building completely disappeared from the rearview mirror. Tang Chao also roughly figured out the condition of the car, which was about the same age as him. After relaxing a little, he took the lead to break the silence in the car and said casually: "
You didn’t come here alone, did you? You just ran out of the hotel, is it okay?”
"It's okay, I told you before." Xie Wei shook her head, "It's just a boring banquet. One more person is not much more than me."
But without you, it will definitely be overshadowed... Thinking of how Xie Wei was treated like a star in the previous venue, Tang Chao chuckled silently, and then changed the subject: "Are you coming to Xiangjiang this time for fun?"
"That's right."
"How do you feel?" Tang Chao explained, "Although this is not my first time here, I am actually quite unfamiliar with Xiangjiang and I have basically never understood it in depth."
"It feels... not bad." After tilting her head and thinking for a while, Xie Wei gave a fair evaluation, "It just hasn't changed much. No matter when I come, there are always the same few places to visit. Oh, maybe it's because I'm not
The relationship between locals is not that profound. Therefore, if you want to have a good time, it is best to be led by a local. I met a good tour guide when I came here this time. She has a good personality. If you need it, I will guide you.
She’ll give you her contact information.”
Let me guess, is her name Sally... Tang Chao grinned slightly and raised his eyebrows: "From what you said, it seems like you have been here many times?"
Xie Wei nodded: "Well, when I was still studying, and after I joined the work, the work unit organized it a few times, and occasionally I would come here with my friends to buy something. I don't remember going up to the Peak of Victoria Peak so many times. There are also
Temple Street, Causeway Bay, Victoria Harbor..."
Tang Chao couldn't help but was slightly stunned when he heard this. Xie Wei had never told him these things, including when they went to climb Taiping Mountain yesterday. The latter followed him to all the scenic spots with great interest, as if everything he saw was new.
The way he came this time... the purpose of doing this is naturally self-evident.
Just like two people watching a drama at the same time, one person has watched it and the other has not. The experience, atmosphere, participation, etc. are completely different from those of both people who have not watched it, especially for those who have not watched it.
As far as people are concerned.
"That's it..."
After opening up the conversation, the atmosphere in the car immediately changed. This is not to say that the atmosphere before was not good, or that it was unfamiliar, that didn't exist.
It's actually quite strange when you think about it. The last time they met was, of course, the meeting between Song Qingming and Xie Wei, which dates back to last year when Xie Wei was kidnapped. After such a long time, the two met again, but they were not alienated at all.
Feeling. On the contrary, it is like two old friends reunited after a long absence in a different place, looking at each other, smiling, and greeting each other. Simple, relaxed and natural.
This is not an effect deliberately created by the Tang Dynasty. This kind of feeling cannot be created. At most, it is just the icing on the cake. Because he is a killer with bloody hands, he is naturally on the passive side. Even if he wants to make friends, he has to consider whether the other party can accept it.
Mainly because of Xie Wei, she didn't care whether the identity of the killer was unclear, but what was certain was that she had absolutely no fear, which was very important. She looked at Tang Chao like an ordinary friend. This feeling made Tang Chao very happy.
Comfort is an important prerequisite for both parties to be able to contact each other.
As for the content of the chat, it was actually not much. And although Tang Chao spoke first, it was Xie Wei who talked more afterwards. He was mainly a listener. Listening to Xie Wei casually talk about what he had experienced during this trip to Xiangjiang, where is it worth visiting?
, where is the delicious food, etc. These are all common topics, and the atmosphere is quite relaxed...
At the same time, in the New Territories, at a small abandoned shipyard a few miles north of Tuen Mun Pier, the atmosphere here seemed tense and solemn.
"...It should be a problem with the car. That car was used in the bar before. Although the license plate was changed, it was probably targeted a long time ago. You drove here and you were immediately exposed..."
"I'm careless, I'm careless." Inside the brick-and-iron shipyard, on the second floor, he stepped on a moldy sampan and looked at the sea beach not far away under the dark night. Rickman, or Li Kewen, shook his head and sighed.
, "You shouldn't have moved so hastily. It's really... hunting geese all day long, but you were blinded by the geese!"
I have to say that this scene of a blond, blue-eyed, pure-bred crooked nut speaking Chinese proverbs in a straight and precise manner is a bit weird. But if you put aside these things, this proverb should be described correctly, because Rickman
His expression was obviously depressed and annoyed.
"Sooner or later we will get to this point, and, Uncle Wen, we have a chance." Next to him, Ye Wangjun, dressed in black, analyzed calmly, "Before, they were in the dark and we were in the open, so we were naturally at a disadvantage. But now the situation
It’s different. We have the home field advantage, so we may not be unable to make a comeback. What’s more, I called helpers over, as long as we can hold on here..."
Before he finished speaking, "No! You have to leave now!" Li Kewen frowned and turned around with a stern look on his face, but when he faced the stubborn Ye Wangjun, his tone couldn't help but slow down in an instant, "Alian, thank you for coming to inform us.
You have done enough for this news. Now, listen to me and leave quickly. If you are late, it will be too late!"
"I won't leave." Ye Wangjun simply refused, with the same resolute attitude, "I can't say the specifics. Uncle Wen, you have taught me that it is the responsibility of our middlemen to keep the secrets of the cooperative killers. But please believe me and trust me.
My helper, he is really awesome!"
"Really..." Li Kewen hesitated when he heard this, and seemed to be a little moved, "How powerful can it be?"
"More than all of us combined...eh?"
His expression was startled, but when Ye Wangjun was speaking, Li Kewen suddenly drew a gun in his hand, pointed it at him, and shouted: "Tianlin!"
"Here you are." A figure quietly appeared from behind Ye Wangjun. It was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance. He grabbed Ye Wangjun's wrist with his hands like iron hoops and smiled softly, "Alian, I don't want to knock you out.
Don't make it difficult for me."
"Brother Tianlin, you..."
"Send her away!" Waving his hand to interrupt, Li Kewen put away his pistol and turned around.
"Master!" Hearing this, Ye Wangjun suddenly became anxious and struggled violently, but not to mention that her physical strength was mediocre. It was just that she controlled her hands under the sneak attack and basically lost the chance to resist. But that's all.
At this moment, the intercom standing on the table behind suddenly rang.
"Shasha...Uncle Wen, something is wrong. A Quan who is guarding the northern peripheral intersection has lost contact!"
As soon as the words fell, the three people in the room were shocked. After reacting, Li Kewen quickly walked to the table and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Ah Quan? Ah Quan... everyone, pay attention, the other party has already moved in and is ready to fight!"
"receive!"
"Quick, Tianlin, take Alian to the dock now..."
He turned around and said something. However, taking advantage of the opportunity just now, Ye Wangjun got rid of the control, took two steps back, took the gun in his hand, pointed it at the middle-aged man with a wry smile, and at the same time pointed at the man who was looking at him.
Li Kewen blinked, a little naughty, "Uncle Wen, you have no chance!"
Li Kewen sighed: "I should have driven you back immediately when you came to Xiangjiang!"
"Who says it's not, ha." Ye Wangjun laughed and shrugged, "It's too late to say anything now, Uncle Wen, listen to me, let everyone retreat to the shipyard, we will wait for reinforcements."
Li Kewen shook his head angrily: "We don't have help, so we will just sit back and wait for death."
"Let's take a bet. And..." Ye Wangjun shook the muzzle of his gun and spread his hands, "Uncle Wen, I'm not negotiating with you. I have a hostage. Throw the walkie-talkie over, quick!"
