In a small town hotel, there is a standard room on the second floor near the stairs. The dispersed members of the Kyushu Rise Team packed the small space to the brim.
There were not many benches, tables and chairs for sitting in the room, which were given to the team members who were playing with laptops and electronic devices. The rest had no choice but to stand boredly against the window edge beside the bed. Captain Shaobai simply sat on the floor in front of the fireplace on the carpet, holding his hand.
Cell phone, answering um and ah, occasionally asking in a low voice.
After a while, he put down the phone, raised his head to meet the gazes of the team members, and nodded: "Here we come, two cars, ten people, coming in from the east side of the town. Counting the people upstairs, there are a total of thirteen people."
"Thirteen? Ha, it's really not taboo!"
"They are barbarians." The team members who stood in front of the window and looked at the howling wind and snow outside shook their heads and said with a smile, "They don't care about the rules of stealing the wind or the moon, stealing the rain or snow, so what else can we expect them to pay attention to?"
"Also...Captain, what should I say?"
Shao Bai glanced at the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall. It was around nine-thirty, and he pondered for a moment: "Wait a little longer. If no follow-up personnel come back, Xiaotian and I will go out in half an hour. You guys stay and make sure there is no traffic at the hotel."
Something went wrong.”
It's a very simple arrangement, and the team members have no other suggestions. Again, it's not a big problem. Shao Bai, Xiao Tian and Xiao Ding who are watching outside are enough to solve it. In fact, if you don't consider the difference in life,
The familiar ones were afraid of encountering any unexpected situations, so to be cautious, they picked out anyone in the team with a toothpick box, including a seemingly elegant young man wearing glasses who was playing with a laptop, and they could easily handle it.
It's just a small scene.
The decision was made, and several team members left one after another. Shaobai casually pulled out a magazine from the desk in the room, regardless of whether he knew French or not, he stared at the colorful illustrated magazine with gusto. On the side, Xiaotian was lying on the bed and took out his mobile phone.
After a while, a cheerful game background sound came out, calling the landlord, grabbing the landlord... It coincided with someone's interests, the only difference was that it was connected to a network and a single player.
The wind and snow are howling outside, and the lights inside the house are dim and warm. It is a pity that the antique fireplace opposite the bed has been abandoned and is only used for decoration. Otherwise, listening to the crackling sound of burning firewood on this snowy night would have been more enjoyable.
Time passed until ten o'clock. Shaobai flipped through the last page of the magazine and put it back on the bookshelf.
Xiaotian, well, he has been prepared for a long time. About a quarter of an hour ago, he lost all the free beans, and then he looked at the wooden ceiling in a daze while wondering whether to recharge and how much to recharge. Until now... put away the phone,
He turned over and got off the bed, exhaling a sigh of relief, as if he was resisting the devil's temptation.
Seeing this, Shao Bai's mouth twitched: "As for that, just top up a few dollars if you want to play."
"Impossible, this is a matter of principle!" Without thinking, Xiaotian categorically rejected it, and then grinned and said, "There's no need to say it again. I'll come back to A Yuan later. He has many computer accounts."
He shook his head silently, "You can do whatever you want, let's go." As he said this, Shaobai picked up his coat and opened the door. After stepping out, he subconsciously turned his head. Deep in the corridor, two figures stood facing each other and said something.
"Weiwei, just use mine first. It doesn't matter. Or...are you not willing to let me help you with such a small amount of work?" Under the dim wall lamp, one of them had a humble tone.
"That's not what I meant. I just thought it wouldn't be so troublesome. Just change it. This hotel doesn't supply hot water, and it's not convenient for you there."
"I'm fine..."
It was Xie Wei and Su Jie. Hearing this, they said, "Ahem! Haven't you slept yet? Mr. Su, Mr. Xie." Shao Bai coughed lightly to show his presence, then he smiled and raised his hand to say hello, and then looked at
It fell on the hot water bottle in Xie Wei's hand and asked curiously, "What's wrong with this?"
"It's Xiao Yu."
This is not a pseudonym, Shao Bai's original surname is Yu. Of course, Xie Wei does not know Shao Bai's true identity. The ones she is most familiar with in the Lingjiang Branch of the Rise of Jiuzhou are Gao Changfeng and Zong Qing. Even if they have met the others, they have only met each other.
, not to mention that Shao Bai is now simply disguised.
In return, Xie Wei raised the hot water bottle in her hand with a helpless expression, "It's broken. There's no phone in the house. Let's go down and see if we can ask the boss to get another one. Are you... going out?" She looked at Shaobai and Xiaotian dressing up.
Neat appearance, a little confused.
"No, I just can't sleep, so I just went to the lobby to have a drink." After thinking about it, Shao Bai smiled and waved his hand, "In that case, Mr. Xie, please wait in the room. We all have to go down anyway. Let's talk to the boss later.
, ask him to bring up a useful hot water kettle. By the way, Mr. Su, is the hot water kettle in your room broken too? How about changing it for you?"
Su Jie shook his head subconsciously: "Uh, no need..."
"That's troublesome, thank you." Xie Wei did not refuse the kindness and nodded in thanks.
"It's a casual thing, you're welcome. Mr. Su, are you sure you don't want it...Okay, Mr. Xie, your room is 214, right?"
"right."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Looking at Shao Bai and the other two who raised their hands and went downstairs, Xie Wei tilted her head, looking a little confused. The tour group's room was booked collectively. She and Tangdou lived together, and the room was almost at the end of the corridor, while Shao Bai and others
The rooms of a group of foreign students were near both sides of the stairs. They didn't see them going inside after they settled in. How did they know the house number of her room accurately...
Shaking her head, Xie Wei dismissed the thoughts that appeared inexplicably in her mind. She felt that she was too sensitive. Maybe the other party saw it accidentally when registering. There was no need to think too much. She nodded lightly to Su Jie and said,
Take a rest early, turn around and walk back to the room.
Looking at the closed door, and then looking down at the hot water bottle in his hand, Su Jie stood there in a daze, as if he had not yet come to his senses, and remained silent for a while.
At the other side of the stairs, Xiaotian, who was following him downstairs, suddenly said: "Captain, you are so unkind."
Shao Bai didn't even look back: "I'm saving him, do you understand that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda?"
Oda shrugged upon hearing this and said nothing more.
When we came downstairs, there were a lot of people drinking in the lobby, mostly members of the tour group. It was quite lively. The main topic was naturally the scene where they fought with the scammers on the train in the afternoon. The manager named Qi was also among them, with a smile on his face.
Cai, who was in good spirits, probably looked back and regarded this as a rare travel experience. He boasted about the situation at the scene of his righteousness in exposing the scam, which attracted bursts of applause. Several members of the Kyushu Uprising also participated, scattered around.
, vaguely controlling the entire hall and the position of the bar entrance.
After telling the boss about the hot water kettle, and pretending to ask about the nearby groceries and kiosks, Shaobai and Xiaotian quietly left the hotel.
The town is not the imagined quiet scene where every household turns off the lights and goes to sleep. The residents here don't seem to care about the raging heavy snowstorm, or maybe they are used to it. The nightlife is still going on, and the entertainment venues in the south of the town are still going on.
The signboard also exudes the neon glory of the past in the dark night, but there are no pedestrians and vehicles on the street, so it looks somewhat deserted.
Avoiding street light surveillance and street shops that were still open, the two of them hurried along. After about ten minutes, they arrived at the intersection on the east side of the town and successfully met Xiao Ding, who was huddled up in the alley shivering to keep warm.
"It's the small building in front, the one with a few cars parked at the door...ah! Everyone is inside. They probably want to wait until midnight to do something."
Shao Bai put his head out to observe: "No movement?"
"No...it suddenly went dark in the building about ten minutes ago. It seemed like the power was cut off, but it turned on again within a minute." This was not an unexpected movement. After all, the heavy snowstorm at the moment damaged a certain circuit node.
Or the transformer is a normal thing.
"Well, no one will come over in the meantime?"
"No, I don't know if there will be any follow-up. There is a dog in the yard, so I didn't go in to investigate." Xiao Ding wiped his face and said, "Why don't you wait a little longer?"
"Forget it, don't wait. Even if someone comes after we take action, they will definitely be scared away. It's better to deal with it as soon as possible and go back to sleep!" Shao Bai pondered for a while, mainly because he saw that Xiao Ding was covered in snow like a white bear, so he decided decisively.
Make the decision, "Where's the stuff?"
"Here it is." Xiao Ding took out a few transparent bags from his pocket, which contained something similar to flour... okay, just flour. "Yeah, don't they say that French people like to eat pasta? I'm going to run away.
I went to several grocery stores but couldn't find it, so I finally found it in the kitchen of a bakery."
"Ha, thank you for your hard work." With a smile, Shaobai finally checked the conditions of the streets on both sides, "Xiaotian, you stay here to take care of us, let's go."
After saying that, he jumped out first, followed closely by Xiao Ding. The two of them quickly approached the small building along the shadow under the wall, then bypassed the light range from the window of the small building, and sneakily touched a small car at the iron gate.
rear.
Xiao Ding let off steam, while Shao Bai took out a screwdriver from nowhere, pried open a small gap in the trunk, put several bags of flour in one by one, and finally pressed down the rear hood to finish, that is, roughly organize it.
Snowflakes are distributed to cover up traces.
"Get it, call the police."
Seeing this, the intention of Shao Bai and the others is undoubtedly obvious. Except for a few countries and regions, drugs are not allowed by the current laws. They want to use the hands of the small town police to bring drugs into the house.
Those uninvited guests are causing some trouble. Even better, even if the police who come over can spot the flour on the spot, the people in the house will not think of coming out to cause trouble again tonight. And by tomorrow, the tour group will have already left.
The plan works!
From another perspective, it is indeed difficult for the members of Shaobai's team. It is really not easy for the members of Shaobai's team to come up with this method to solve the problem when their hands are tied.
Backtracking to the outer wall of the front yard of the small building, under the iron railing, Xiaoding couldn't wait to pick up his mobile phone. Naturally, it was a newly installed phone card. He spoke in familiar French: "Wai, police station? I'll report it. I found a gang."
Drug dealer, located at..."
Bang! Before he finished speaking, a palm suddenly poked out from the side and hung up the phone. Xiao Ding turned his head in shock, and before asking questions, he saw Shao Bai with a solemn look on his face, sniffing lightly with his nose, slowly stood up, and finally leaned forward
Looking inside the iron railing, his pupils suddenly shrank!
Xiao Ding stood up and took a look, and was stunned. In the corner of the railing, three or four vicious dogs that looked like calves were piled up randomly. They bared their teeth and grinned, each showing ferociousness, but there was no majesty in life. There were big pools of smelly blood coming from below.
It spreads silently, melting snowflakes, and the bright red is dazzling!
