The beating lasted for several minutes, until Taylor was tired, and he spat harshly and walked away.
After noticing Taylor leaving, the clerk struggled to stand up and watched with lingering fear as Taylor entered the public toilet where he was originally going. Now, of course, the clerk did not dare to go there again.
When he was about to escape from here, he glanced at something on the ground, something that obviously shouldn't appear in this remote alley - a brown document bag.
What's this?
If the clerk's memory was correct, he remembered that the document bag was tucked under the man's arm a few minutes ago.
The clerk picked up the document bag that the man had dropped on the ground, and he could feel the thick pile inside through the brown paper bag.
This was dropped by the person just now. The clerk touched the swollen corner of his mouth and came to the conclusion. He remembered clearly that the mad dog did have this document bag in his arm before he came up to beat him indiscriminately.
It seemed that after beating him, he forgot to take away the document bag.
Generally speaking, if the other person is a normal person with some conscience, at this time, you should run after him and return the document package to the other person. Not only will you be thanked, but if you are lucky, you will also get a reward from the other person.
But... looking at his dirty white shirt, the clerk suspected that if he chased after him and returned the bag to the mad dog, he might get another beating.
People are always angry, even the clerk who didn't dare to fight back when he was beaten just now. He thought with malice that he might as well just take it away. The guy would definitely be very anxious when he found out that the thing was missing.
If this document bag contains important work-related content, losing this document bag may cause that guy to lose his job and become a beggar.
However, he was hesitant. Even if he took the document bag away without mentioning his conscience, would it be considered theft? If it was found out in the end, he might be the one who lost his job.
.
It's better to take him away first and hand it over to the police tomorrow, so that he can cause trouble for that guy without affecting himself...
After finalizing his decision, the clerk picked up the document bag and walked out of the alley.
Naturally, the clerk couldn't see him at the moment. Behind him, Liang looked at him with a complicated expression, and finally sighed and followed him.
…
After the cold water was splashed on his face, Taylor's mind became clearer.
"Damn, my clothes are dirty again." Taylor frowned and smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes. He couldn't let himself lose face in the eyes of the gangsters.
After washing his hands that were stained with the blood and tears of the clerk, he straightened his clothes. Just as he was about to leave, he looked at himself in the mirror. After two or three seconds, Taylor made a move and realized that something was missing. He turned red.
His face instantly turned pale.
He realized one thing - the document bag was gone!
It must have been dropped when I beat the guy just now! Taylor was so sure.
He didn't care about anything else and rushed out of the toilet. When he arrived at the place where he had just beaten the clerk, no matter how dim the light was, Taylor could see that there was nothing here. And the clerk who he beat up,
He has long since disappeared.
The document bag is lost.
"Buchanan will definitely kill me..." Taylor's lips trembled.
He twitched all over and looked desperately at the darkness in the alley. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind:
It's that guy, that guy took the document bag!
That damn...
Taylor hesitated for a moment, but finally hurried out of the alley, ran to a public telephone booth, picked up the phone, and dialed a series of numbers on the dial.
Beep...beep...
After a long beep, a hoarse and serious voice came from the communicator:
"Tyler? What happened?"
Taylor swallowed: "The document bag you gave me...was lost."
There was only silence on the other side of the communicator.
Years of experience working with Buchanan taught Taylor not to try to lie and deceive him about these matters, so Taylor told the truth honestly.
Throughout his story, Colonel Buchanan did not speak a word. It was not until the end that he uttered one word:
"waste!"
Buchanan's voice was extremely cold, and Taylor broke out in a cold sweat. The stimulation given to him by the red ice was long gone. Now Taylor's legs were trembling, and he just wanted to make up for his mistake quickly.
This is not because Taylor is conscientious, but because he knows what will happen to those people whom Colonel Buchanan defines as "waste".
"Sir, what should we do?"
Buchanan's voice could be described as gritted teeth: "Duke Hohenlohe's spies have been keeping a close eye on us recently... we still have to leave this matter to the Blood Howler Gang."
"Understood, I'll go find them right now."
"very good……"
Buchanan's voice dropped, and after a few seconds, he hung up the phone.
Taylor breathed a sigh of relief and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, thankful that he could seize the opportunity to remedy the situation.
