"If, as I thought, the source of that person's money is unknown, I might be able to blackmail him, get a large sum of money from him, and then sell his information to others. I believe many people will be interested in him."
Carmen was whistling as she thought, as if she was waving to him after seeing a bright future.
But soon, he felt something was wrong. This alleyway he walked every day seemed to be particularly quiet today. Not to mention the pedestrians taking shortcuts in the alleyway, even the homeless people lying in the alleyway were gone.
Stopping in his tracks, Carmen looked around. His long life on the streets gave him a keen sense of smell that was beyond ordinary people.
Something's wrong, something really isn't right.
Ten meters ahead from where he stood, there was a rusty iron gate, which was the back entrance of a restaurant.
In the past, this back door was never closed from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., but now it is closed.
In addition, unless it is cloudy and rainy, homeless people have been living in this alley for a long time. However, the homeless people are not here today. Carmen does not think that they have moved.
Calmly, Carmen stood there and took out the dagger from her lower back in a very hidden posture.
dong dong dong
After a few breaths, the sound of banging trash cans came from both ends of the street. This sound was very clear and crisp, and only iron tools could make such a sound.
"Are you Carmen?" Along with the sound of banging the trash can, four people walked out from both sides of the alleyway.
Each of them held iron pipes, machetes, iron spikes and other weapons in their hands, and they blocked the two exits firmly.
"who are you?"
Seeing that there were eight people on the other side, Carmen swallowed and tightened the dagger in her hand.
He had the confidence to defeat one person, and he had the confidence to fight two people, but eight people were beyond his capabilities.
"My name is Anders, and Henry told me that you stole a lot of money from him?"
Anders is a middle-aged man. He wears a white suit that has just become popular among the upper class, and has a gold ring on his hand. He looks more like a rich man than a gangster.
In fact, this is also the case. Anders is the boss of South Street in the slum, and two-thirds of the slum area is under his control.
Although Carmen has never dealt with Anders, she knows that he is one of the most ruthless men in the slums, with at least seven or eight lives on his hands.
"Mr. Anders, this is a misunderstanding, please let me explain." When Carmen heard that the person was Anders, she knew that there was trouble today, and racked her brains to think of how to deal with it.
Anders shook his head slightly, unbuttoned his suit, exposed the revolver at his waist, and said with a smile: "Kid, I don't think this is a misunderstanding. Henry told me that he mentioned my name to you, but you still
Stole his money."
"I" Carmen was about to speak when she noticed one of Anders' men sneaking up from behind her.
"Don't come here, don't come here!"
Carmen brandished a dagger, forced the long-haired young man behind her back, and then said loudly: "Mr. Anders, I didn't mean to offend you, I just hope you give me a chance to explain."
"A chance?" Anders slapped the revolver on his waist and still shook his head: "I never give anyone a chance."
After saying this, Anders took a step back and whispered: "Kill him, cut off his head, and hang it on the flagpole at the intersection of the market. Let everyone know the consequences of causing trouble on my chassis."
"Damn it!"
As soon as she listened to Anders' order, Carmen knew that she was being used as a rooster to scare the monkeys.
He knew exactly what would happen to the rooster, and he knew that he could not sit still and wait for death, otherwise he would be dead.
"Get away!"
Carmen has been on the street since she was a child. Instead of retreating at the critical moment, Carmen was inspired to become ferocious and rushed back with a dagger in hand.
Similarly, the few people who followed Anders did not grow up in the honey pot. Instead of advancing, they raised their weapons and swarmed towards Carmen.
"Go away, go away!"
Carmen brandished the dagger, not willing to fight, and killed in the direction behind her.
As soon as they met, his clothes were scratched by a knife and he was hit with a stick on his shoulder.
However, the four gangsters who were standing behind him were able to escape with daggers. He even punched a young man in the stomach who got too close.
"kill him!"
Seeing that Carmen was so fierce and rushed away from the interception of four people, Anders not only was not happy, but also showed a look of embarrassment and anger.
You must know that he ruled the slums not with kindness, but with ruthlessness. All those who could challenge or dared to challenge his status were sent to hell by him, which is why he has been so prosperous in these years.
So Anders knew very well that Carmen must die. If he didn't die, no one would be afraid of him in the future.
"Go away, come if you are not afraid of death!"
Armed with only a dagger made from a piece of iron, Carmen knew that she could only run, and there was no way to survive if she fought hard.
Holding a dagger in hand, Carmen ran away, wishing his mother had given him two more legs.
"It's quick, it's quick!"
Carmen ran faster and faster, looking at the streets getting closer and closer. He knew that as long as he rushed onto the streets, there would be enough obstacles to throw off the pursuers.
And just when he was still three meters away from the street and could rush out in just 1.5 seconds, he heard a crisp sound.
boom!!
Feeling pain in her shoulder, Carmen staggered and fell hard to the ground.
Then before he could get up, his back felt heavy and someone stepped on his back.
"Boy, you can run very well!"
A young man with curly hair put an iron thorn on his neck and said sternly: "Why don't you run away?"
"Hiss" Carmen opened his mouth and touched the wound on his shoulder. He grinned in pain for a moment, but he still retorted forcefully: "This road is really slippery!"
"You have such a tough mouth!"
Anders came up from behind with his revolver and his younger brother, and said: "Kill him!"
"The Mounties are coming, the Mounties are coming!"
Just as Curly was about to poke the iron thorn down, a little girl ran out of the intersection, shouting that the mounted police were coming.
As soon as he heard that there was a mounted policeman, according to Anders' original character, he definitely wanted to finish this job before leaving.
But for some reason, Anders seemed particularly panicked this time. When he heard Mounted Police twice, he thought of the scene when he was a gangster and was hit on the back with a stick by a Mounted Policeman on horseback.
That stick was really painful. The manpower plus the horse power were used to pull the stick down from above. He was beaten so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for three months and almost died on the hospital bed.
For a moment, Anders seemed to have returned to the past, when he was still a gangster. All his fear of the mounted police was aroused, and he screamed: "Run, run!"
Several gangsters looked at each other and looked at Anders running away. They couldn't figure out why the ruthless boss was so frightened.
You know, the mounted police usually operate in teams of two. In most cases, they only carry rubber sticks and may not even have a revolver on them. There are eight of them plus a revolver. There is no reason to be intimidated by two mounted policemen.
Come on.
"You are lucky!"
Now that the boss has run away, what else can the younger brothers do? Of course, they must run for their lives together.
Seeing the gangsters scattering in a hurry, Carmen laughed crazily on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
After a while, Carmen smiled enough, and then she showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Bertie, thank you for saving me."
"You are so lucky. I didn't expect them to be so easy to deceive." Under the sun, Bertie, wearing a knee-length skirt and long white legs, looked at Carmen charmingly and said softly: "Do you want to see me dance?
"
"In no mood."
Carmen struggled to stand up, covering her wound and licking her lips: "I want to see you down there!"
