The death of Kress made Lao Dogo completely angry. He had issued a wanted order and searched for the suspect throughout the city.
At the same time, a fire in the bar caused seven deaths and five injuries, and the local government also dispatched the police to investigate.
As a result, Lei Ren's plan to go to the manor had to be postponed for one day.
After the battle last night, Juno did not dare to challenge Thunder Blade's authority again, but he still complained a lot. He felt that the current passive situation was entirely caused by Thunder Blade killing Kress, but he didn't know that even that night
If Thunder Blade didn't take action, Kress would probably die violently, because the fire was aimed at Kress.
"Boss, what are our plans today?" Howard came to Lei Ren after breakfast, hoping to get directions from Lei Ren.
Thunder Blade threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, stood up and said to Howard: "Today, let's go fishing!"
"Fishing?" Howard opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe his ears.
This is a city on the coast, so there are fishing grounds everywhere. However, due to yesterday's arson incident and the bad weather today, there are not many tourists in the fishing grounds, only a few bustling people.
"If the wind here is a little lighter, we should have a good harvest." Lei Ren took the fishing gear and walked to a hillside in the distance and sat down, then turned back and shouted to Howard and Juno.
Seeing Thunder Blade's complacent look, Juno suddenly lost his temper and whispered in Howard's ear: "Has this guy's head been pinched? He is still in the mood for fishing at this time."
"If you don't want to get beaten, you'd better speak softly," Howard warned Juno.
Juno snorted disdainfully: "You are so brave and reckless, we may be killed by him here."
Howard shook his head and said: "Although I don't know exactly what he is planning, I think he must have a reason for doing this. He is definitely not just fishing."
"Ah, you think too highly of him! In my opinion, he is just a second-generation person with connections." Juno said with disdain.
Howard knew the importance of this mission, and even more clearly the price paid by his superiors for this mission. Even if he were killed, he would not believe that the superiors would really send an incompetent second generation to carry out the mission.
Howard turned to Juno and smiled: "You say that because you don't know him well. For someone like the boss, you must not look at his appearance, otherwise you will fail miserably and even die.
have no idea."
Juno stood up and sneered: "I really want to know why you value him so much."
When Howard saw Juno getting up to leave, he couldn't help shouting to Juno: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the waiter inside for a drink of tea! I have no interest in playing such a fucking boring game." Juno waved her hand to Howard and strode towards the waiter.
Howard smiled helplessly, Juno is just too stubborn.
I don't know whether it was due to the weather or the bait. Most of the morning passed, but Thunder Blade only opened once and caught a small fish weighing one or two pounds. However, Howard's results were even more dismal, as he did not catch any fish.
"Howard, did you choose the wrong fishing ground?" Thunder Blade asked Howard, "How come you couldn't catch it?"
Howard smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe? Besides, the weather today is really not suitable for fishing."
Lei Ren packed up his fishing rod and was about to leave with Howard when an old man with gray hair and a red nose suddenly came over. While shaking his head, he sighed: "Hey, young people today are really disappointing. Even though they don't believe it, they still...
Blame this or that.”
Howard raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and turned to look at the old man with the red nose.
Not to be outdone, the red-nosed old man stared back and said contemptuously: "Am I not telling the truth?"
Howard looked down at the red-nosed old man's fish basket and couldn't help but sneered: "I thought you were so powerful, but you just caught one fish."
"Hmph, what do you know? This fish of mine can be sold for five thousand euros." The red-nosed old man raised his head and looked at Lei Ren, "I'll sell it to you for five thousand euros. Do you want to buy it?"
Lei Ren smiled and said: "This fish of yours is unique. Is it too cheap to sell it for 5,000 euros?"
"Hey, I finally met someone who knows the goods." The red-nosed old man smiled obscenely, then stretched out five fingers and said to Lei Ren, "Five thousand euros is cheap, so let's take fifty thousand euros! In this way,
Aren't you afraid that I will suffer a loss?"
Howard listened to the red-nosed old man's crazy words and couldn't help but shook his head, thinking whoever offered 50,000 euros to buy it for you is either a lunatic or a fool.
Lei Ren smiled and said: "Okay, then for fifty thousand euros, how about you sell it to me?"
"What!" Hearing that Lei Ren actually wanted to pay 50,000 euros to buy such a fish, Howard couldn't help but slap his forehead and looked at Lei Ren in disbelief, trying to see if he was crazy.
Lei Ren didn't care about Howard's eyes at all, and continued to say to the hesitant old man: "Anyway, you will sell to whomever you sell!"
The red-nosed old man hesitated for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind. Then he reluctantly nodded and said: "Okay, I'll sell it to you for 50,000 euros, but you must give me the money immediately. The old man is poor and cannot accept credit."
"Haha! You are so poor, how can I have the nerve to default on the money I owe you?" Lei Ren laughed.
The red-nosed old man was not embarrassed at all. He shrugged and murmured to himself: "It's getting harder and harder to catch fish now."
Lei Ren didn't have so much money on him at all, so he had to turn around and ask Howard for money.
Howard dragged Thunder Blade aside and whispered in his ear: "Boss, do you really want to buy this fish for 50,000 euros?"
"Of course!" Lei Ren nodded affirmatively, "You give me 50,000 euros first. When you get back, you write a note and I will go find those people to reimburse you."
If you spend 50,000 euros to buy a fish, even if it's not your money, you can't squander it like this, right? It would be strange if the people above are willing to reimburse you.
"Boss, you have to think carefully. This is 50,000 euros. If converted into our country's money, it would be a full 500,000 euros!" Howard reminded Lei Ren again and again, just not wanting Lei Ren to do something stupid.
I regretted it afterwards, and I didn't want the superiors to investigate in the future and blame myself for not persuading Lei Ren.
How could Lei Ren not see Howard's thoughts? He couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, this fish is definitely worth the money. The boss will definitely reimburse you for the money."
Seeing that Lei Ren had made up his mind, Howard didn't say anything else. He took out five thousand euros from his body and handed it over. He asked the red-nosed old man: "Click on it and see if it's this number?"
The red-nosed old man took the money, immediately put it into his pocket, and said with a smile: "The old man ordered it a long time ago."
"What about our stuff?" Howard said calmly, looking at the fish basket in the old man's hand intently.
"Don't worry, the old man always does things fairly." The old man with the red nose said, handed the fish basket to Howard, and said with a smile, "The old man will be generous today and give you the fish basket too."
"Hmph!" Howard smiled disdainfully. He didn't see how valuable this fish was, but Thunder Blade actually paid 50,000 euros to buy it.
"Let's go! Seeing you so happy, the old man will come to do business with you if he has fish in the future." The red-nosed old man said, turned around and walked outside.
Lei Ren squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then it depends on whether your fish suits my taste."
After the red-nosed old man selling the fish left, Thunder Blade turned around and patted Howard on the shoulder, and said confidently: "Don't cry in despair! Later, you will know why this fish is worth 50,000 euros."
Hearing Lei Ren's words, Howard's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked excitedly: "Boss, is there any mystery here?"
Thunder Blade looked at Howard with a smile and said nothing, as if he was in control.
…
The three of them drove back to the hotel from the fishing ground without even having dinner.
"Howard, bring the fish basket to my room." Lei Ren ordered Howard.
Howard nodded and said: "No problem, boss."
Thunder Blade turned his head and ordered to Juno: "Go find a knife to cut open the fish and come in."
Juno frowned and said, "Why do you need a knife? Just give the fish to the restaurant chef to cut it open."
"Do you think the fish you bought for 50,000 euros is the same as ordinary fish? Just do as I say." Lei Ren was too lazy to continue explaining to Juno, and turned around and walked into the hotel after leaving a few words.
Juno looked at Howard who looked helpless, raised his lips slightly, and said an English word starting with "F" towards Thunder Blade.
Thunder Blade took off his coat and shouted to Juno: "Give me the knife."
Juno immediately handed it over, wanting to see what Thunder Blade was doing.
Lei Ren poured the fish in the fish basket into the pool, then grabbed it, and caught the whole fish in his hand. Then, Lei Ren turned the blade, pointed the sharp blade at the fish's belly, and then followed the fish.
The line on my belly slipped over.
I saw a piece of fish blood falling into the water, instantly dyeing a few dazzling plum blossoms, while the fish rolled in pain in the hands of the thunder blade, making its last struggle before death.
Lei Ren put down the knife, put his hand directly into the cut fish belly, and then started tinkering inside.
Perhaps unable to bear the pain in front of him, the fish rolled his eyes and finally went to see God.
"Boss, you..." Howard was about to ask Lei Ren, but saw Lei Ren pull his hand out of the fish's belly, "Hey, what you have in your hand is..."
Lei Ren washed the things found in the fish's belly, slowly opened the plastic bag outside, took out the small note inside, opened it and saw that it was...
"This is..." Howard and Juno both opened their eyes wide, looking at the palm-sized map in disbelief.
Lei Ren said calmly: "This is the structure diagram of the manor!"
