Chapter 9 [Murder Case, New Task of the Death Squad]
In the blink of an eye, time passed quietly, and a week passed quickly. In the past few days, Gu Ren went to the martial arts hall to practice Mojiaquan every morning, and went to the shooting club to practice guns in the afternoon, and then found a gym to exercise in the evening. Although life at the three-point line is boring, life is still abundant.
Early in the morning, Gu Ren put on his sportswear, took the keys from home and ran out in the direction of Chinatown.
At around 7 o'clock in Chinatown, there were already stores open at this time. Except for a few convenience stores, most of them were restaurants and teahouses. Gu Ren walked into a Cantonese teahouse as usual and ordered a portion of wonton noodles and two cages of shrimp dumplings.
Soon when the waiter brought the wonton noodles, Gu Ren couldn't wait to pick up the wooden chopsticks on the table, picked up a large mouthful and stuffed them into his mouth, and began to eat the noodles "sigh-slightly".
"Good! I'm sure you can never get tired of eating wonton noodles."
Gu Ren ate a large bowl of wonton noodles in two or three mouthfuls, drank the herbal tea that the waiter had just brought, and happily started eating shrimp dumplings.
Because of the noodles, Gu Ren was not as hungry as before. He slowed down his speed. While eating shrimp dumplings, he picked up the Chinese Daily on the table and started reading.
The Chinese Daily is a newspaper specially for Chinese New Yorkers to read. It uses a Chinese version. Most of the news content reported is related to Chinese and Asians. It can be said that it is the best Chinese newspaper sold in Chinatown and even the entire New York.
"At 11 o'clock yesterday, a male body was found in the alley of Longfeng Teahouse on the west side of Chinatown. After investigation by the police, it was found that the man was a member of the largest Chinese community in the local area..."
Longfeng Teahouse? Gu Ren was stunned for a moment when he looked at the news in the newspaper, and suddenly looked up at the teahouse where he was. Isn’t this Longfeng Teahouse?
The guests sitting directly opposite Gu Ren were several old men. One of the old men suddenly said, "Hey, have you heard of Lao Li? Someone died in the alley next door last night!"
"No! Is it really dead?" The old man called Lao Li shuddered when he heard that someone died in the alley next to him, glanced at the wall in front of him, as if he wanted to pass through the wall and look at the alley next to him.
"Can it be fake? I slept late last night. In the middle of the night, the police car kept beating. I thought it was another Feizi who made trouble. I got up and looked through the window. Oh my God! The whole alley was surrounded by the police. I heard that the one who died seemed to be the one under Brother Qi."
"The people under Brother Qi!" Old Li widened his eyes, as if he looked unbelievable, "Who is so brave that he dares to make trouble in Brother Qi's territory and even kills the people under Brother Qi's command."
"I don't know about this. It has nothing to do with us anyway. It's better to go out and walk around less in the past few days."
"Yes, you're right. After morning tea, I'll hurry home and stay."
Several old men were talking less and less. Gu Ren glanced slightly, stuffed the last shrimp dumpling into his mouth, drank a sip of herbal tea, waved his hand, and shouted "Pay the bill."
...
After paying the money, Gu Ren walked out of the Longfeng Teahouse and walked slowly a few steps, looked at the alley next to him, surrounded by horizontal strips. Two Chinese detectives were standing beside him chatting. When he looked inside, he seemed to have some dry red blood on the ground six or seven meters away.
"Gu Ren, why are you here?"
Suddenly a familiar voice sounded. Gu Ren looked up and saw that it was Chen Ying, who had just been a detective in Chinatown Police Station for a few days. Seeing that he was an acquaintance, he smiled and said, "I just had morning tea at Longfeng Teahouse and was about to go to the master's martial arts hall to practice. What about you? Why are you here, for yesterday's case?"
Chen Ying was surprised and said, "Do you know what happened yesterday?"
"I know, the newspapers are published. I think there should be very few people who don't know." Gu Ren shrugged.
"That's right." Chen Ying smiled, secretly blaming himself for being suspicious. Now that the Internet is so developed, there were ambulances and police cars last night, and I'm afraid many people have known about it last night.
Gu Ren noticed that Chen Ying's face was very haggard and his dark circles were particularly obvious, and he couldn't help but ask: "You didn't sleep all night last night?"
Chen Ying nodded and said, "Yes, a member of the club died here last night. In order to avoid further club conflicts, the bureau asked us to hurry up and investigate. I am a newcomer who has just entered the game and have no time to sleep at all."
"You should pay more attention to your health." Gu Ren frowned. Although this was his "second" meeting with Chen Ying, in my memory, the two of them have known each other since childhood and have always had a good relationship, so it is inevitable that they care.
"I know, when the morning shift comes to hand over, I will go back to rest." Chen Ying smiled, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "If you go to the master's martial arts hall, remember to tell the master that he will close the door earlier recently. Don't close the door at 7 or 8 o'clock every time. Chinatown may not be safe recently."
"I understand, I will tell the master, you should go back early and rest."
"Uh-huh."
After saying that, Gu Ren waved his hand, said goodbye to Chen Ying with a smile, and turned around and walked towards Mo Youqian's martial arts hall.
Looking at the other party's back as he was leaving, Chen Ying wanted to speak but stopped thinking about it. In the end, she still couldn't speak.
...
Mo Family Martial Arts Hall.
"Okay, I understand. This girl Aying is intent."
When Mo Youqian heard that someone died in the alley next to the Longfeng Teahouse last night, he couldn't help but sigh: "I thought it was no better than before, but I didn't expect that the world was still so chaotic. Aren, remember to be more careful when you go out."
"I know Master, I will be careful." Facing Mr. Mo's concern, Gu Ren agreed with a smile.
Mo Youqian looked like Gu Ren didn't seem to be perfunctory, so he asked with a smile: "Is it still the same today? Is there a set of punches?"
"Of course, master, see if I have made progress." After saying that, Gu Ren took off his sports jacket, wore only a white vest, and stood in the center of the martial arts hall, and began to practice the Mo family boxing routines one by one.
Seeing Gu Ren practicing boxing in a straightforward manner, Mo Youqian picked up the purple gold teapot on the table, sat on the Taishi chair, sucked herbal tea in small mouthfuls, crossed his legs, and commented one or two from time to time, and he looked very comfortable.
...
Near the sea area of Vilanna Island, a modified sea-air dual-purpose transport aircraft slowly lifted its nose and flew from the sea little by little to mid-air under the control of the pilot.
Christmas sat in the passenger seat and roared angryly, "Fake! Fake! Fake!"
"Enough Christmas. Being angry is useless." Sailor Captain Barney Ross said while flying the plane.
Christmas frowned and said, "Then tell me what to do? Could it be that we continued to drive the plane to the shore and kill each other like before? Didn't you see that rocket launcher just now? I almost hit us!"
Barney Ross glanced at Christmas from the corner of his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Notify the team members that the holiday has been cancelled."
"That's how it should be!" When Christmas heard that they were going to call the team members back to take revenge, they screamed excitedly: "We should deal with them well. Tell these bitches that messing with us is the stupidest and most regretful decision they have made in this life!"
...
"Didi..."
When he heard the phone text message ringing, Gu Ren wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, walked to the clothes hanger, took out the phone placed in his sports jacket, glanced at it, and saw that the text message said "Hawkeye Returns".
Have a mission?!
Didn’t it mean that a new task will take ten days and half a month? Why did it come back so quickly?
Gu Ren touched his chin. Although he was not sure what was going on, he decided to go back to the headquarters to check it out. Then he turned around and said to Mo Yougan: "Master, I'll go back first. I may have to go out to sea these two days, so I've been here recently."
