Chapter 541 Blindness(1/3)
After An Zhai said this, Luo Lie couldn't help but ask himself, he was quite interested in flying swords, but if he performed on stage, would he really like it? He thought about it carefully, but failed to get a clear answer.
"Luo Lie, do you really like Alice? I think, if you can't marry Alice, your grandfather will not agree to marry a foreign girl as your wife."
This was clearly because An Zhai had nothing to say, and Luo Lie angrily said, "What's your business?"
An Zhai laughed.
Turning over the corner of the street, walking about 200 meters before reaching the station of the Global Circus. Luo Lie remembered that there was a food shop on the side of the corner of the street. Before getting sick, he just took a few coins he earned from fortune-telling with An Zhai. So Luo Lie wanted to pull An Zhai over and buy some delicious food.
When he came to the shop, he was hesitating about the dazzling array of goods, two people suddenly appeared behind him. One of them held a dagger and pressed An Zhai's waist, while the other man held a revolver in his hand, pressing Luo Lie's forehead.
"Don't speak out. If you want to live, follow us obediently!" Although the two covered their faces, they spoke fluent Mandarin.
Luo Lie had never seen a revolver, but he also knew that the man only needed to gently tap the trigger, and his head would explode. Under the threat, he had to submit.
The two of them hurriedly tied up Luo Li'an Zhai's hands. At this time, a carriage drove over from the corner of the street. The two of them blocked Luo Li'an Zhai's mouth and stuffed it into the car.
One man holding the revolver followed him into the carriage, while the other man put away his dagger, took off the black cloth covering his face, and came towards the direction of the Global Circus.
The man seemed very familiar with the Global Circus. He came to the door of the room where the eldest brother and Luo Lie lived. He looked back and forth and confirmed that there was no one in the corridor. The man took out a piece of paper from his arms and stuffed it into the gap under the door of the room.
In the room, Zhao Daxin vaguely heard footsteps, and the footsteps stopped when they came to his door. At first, Zhao Daxin thought it was Luo Lie back, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear the knock on the door, and then he heard the footsteps outside the door gradually fading away. Zhao Daxin was very confused, so he stood up and opened the door, but there was no sign of people in the corridor.
When he turned around and came back, Zhao Daxin noticed something on the ground. He looked down and found that it was a piece of paper.
Zhao Daxin loves cleaning and cleans up the room every day. Therefore, this piece of paper must not be left by him or Luo Lie, so he bent down and picked it up. When he looked at it, he couldn't help but sweat.
"Luo Lie is in my hands. If you want to redeem it, bring one hundred dollars to No. 118, 14th Street, Queen's Avenue at 10 o'clock tomorrow night. Remember, you must not call the police or come with others, otherwise you will definitely tear up the ticket!"
Zhao Daxin is very powerful in martial arts, especially his flying sword skills, which is even more powerful. However, this is the first time he encounters this. Holding the piece of paper, Zhao Daxin only felt his head swelling and his hands and feet were weak. At this moment, all he could think of was to find his master as soon as possible.
"One hundred dollars?" The old ghost stared at the piece of paper for a long time.
The paper is very ordinary and there is no clue. The characters on it are small fly heads, with sloppy handwriting and chaotic brushwork. However, between horizontal and vertical, it seems to have some calligraphy skills, which should be the result of the author's intentional work when writing.
The old ghost didn't find many useful clues from the paper and handwriting, but the amount of ransom mentioned in that passage made the old ghost very alert: "Why do they only have one hundred dollars, not five hundred dollars or even one thousand dollars?"
Although one hundred dollars is already a big amount, based on the current popularity and ability to make money in Peng's family, one hundred dollars is not much. The kidnapping job is not easy to do. In a rare situation of success, kidnappers will ask for as much ransom as possible. If they don't open it for three years, they will eat for three years. This is the hard truth that the kidnapping industry should believe in.
"Maybe the kidnappers were waiting in a hurry to use the money..." Seeing his master, Zhao Daxin was not so panicked and had some thoughts.
The old ghost shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Perhaps, their goal is not money, but you."
Zhao Daxin couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Then why didn't they come directly at me? What's the matter if you capture Junior Brother Seven and Eighth?"
The old ghost said: "This is the strange thing! If the kidnapper is just seeking money, why should he only ask for a ransom of one hundred dollars? With the current limelight of my Peng family, it is not too much to ask for three or five hundred dollars. Therefore, for the teacher, the reason why the kidnapper only asks for a hundred dollars is just to take you and me lightly. He thought that since the ransom is not much, there is no need to mobilize troops to achieve the goal of letting you go alone."
Zhao Daxin said: "If the master explains this, his disciple will understand, but, with Xiaoqi and Xiaoba in their hands, we must rescue them! Or call the police? Or ask Mr. Anderson for help?"
The old ghost denied Zhao Daxin and said, "Don't call the police! Foreign police are extremely dogmatic in doing things. Letting them intervene in this case is tantamount to pushing your two junior brothers into the abyss. What can Mr. Anderson help us? He is a law-abiding citizen. Once he knows this, he will definitely call the police."
Zhao Daxin said anxiously: "What should I do? Master, I can't call the police, and I can't find the helper. How can we deal with the kidnappers based on the people of our Peng family?"
The old ghost smiled faintly and said, "Da Xin, don't be anxious. Go and see someone with your master. Only he can save Luo Lie safely."
After a brief panic, Luo Lie calmed down. The carriage was very dim, and the windows on both sides were tightly sealed. Only the curtains at the doors swayed forward and backward as the carriage bumped, revealing a few rays of light coming in.
The guy holding a revolver didn't take Luo Li'an Zhai seriously at all. He put it on the curtain of the carriage and kept urging the people who drove the carriage to get faster and faster. The axle of the carriage seemed a little old. Every time he turned to a fixed position, it would make a creaking sound. Luo Li curled up in a corner of the rear of the carriage, carefully debating the creaking sound of the axle, and recorded the number of times in his mind, including when the carriage turned left and right again.
The carriage drove for about an hour and finally stopped. The guy holding the revolver drove Luo Lianzhai out of the carriage.
"When you get out of the car, go into the house immediately. If you dare to make any trouble with the uncle, be careful of being a gun!"
Although he was intimidated, during the gap between the carriage and the steps he walked into the house, Luo Lie still observed the environment on both sides. This was a secluded street. The street was very narrow, so it was only possible for a carriage to pass through. The houses on both sides were a little dilapidated. Only in one section of the street saw a few tall buildings. The moment he entered the house, Luo Lie also saw the door sign on the door frame. The words below were not very familiar, but in the upper line, Luo Lie saw the words No. 86 and No. 21st Street.
The kidnapper pushed Luo Lianzhai to a corner of the house, tied up the two brothers' feet, and after confirming that everything was foolproof, he walked out of the room one after another.
Like the carriage, the windows of the room were also sealed, and there was no light in the room, only a few rays of light came into the gap in the door. With this light, Luo Lie saw that the room was empty, and the only thing was a simple camp bed placed at the door.
His hands and feet were tied tightly, and his mouth was blocked. Any struggle was futile. Luo Lie could only curl up quietly on the ground. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly he heard An Zhai’s voice: “Luo Lie, I’ll help you untire the rope.” Luo Lie was shocked and turned to look at him. An Zhai was lying on the ground to help him untire the rope tied to his feet.
Luo Lie made a ummph from his throat, meaning that he was like, you are a fool, don’t you know how to take out the things that were blocking my mouth first?
The kidnapper's knot was a bit complicated and tight, but An Zhai didn't take much effort to untie the rope on Luo Lie's feet. Then he turned Luo Lie over and began to untie the rope on his hands behind him.
When the rope on his hand was untied, Luo Lie quickly took out the rag that was blocking his mouth. After a few dry retching, Luo Lie forgot to scold An Zhai and asked, "An Zhai, how did you untickle the rope?"
An Zhai showed a arrogant expression on his face and replied, "I told you everything. I have worked very hard in practicing martial arts. I have mastered the ability that my master taught me. This kind of binding method can't trap me at all."
After stretching his hands and feet a little, he felt less paralyzed. Luo Lie waved to An Zhai and whispered: "An Zhai, let's escape!"
An Zhai nodded.
The two brothers pointed to the door, and Luo Lie signaled An Zhai to make some noise on the door. If there was no one outside the door, they just took the opportunity to escape. If there was someone outside the door, they would definitely come over to take a look when they heard the noise. Luo Lie could take the opportunity to attack from behind the door.
An Zhai understood Luo Lie's intention, stretched out his foot, and gently kicked the door with his toes. After waiting for a while, there was no response outside the door. Perhaps it was too small, Luo Lie kicked the door again. This time the sound was much louder than the last time.
But it was still quiet outside the door.
"No one is watching outside!" An Zhai quietly greeted Luo Lie, then reached out to pull the door, "Luo Lie, no, the door may be locked from outside!"
Luo Lie thought to himself that since the kidnappers were slacking off and just locked the door, they thought it was foolproof and had not even arranged a guard. So what else should I be afraid of? Just use the simplest way to violently open the door. The door is made of wooden and does not look strong. Perhaps the lock on the door is very strong, but the nails nailed to the door panel may not be able to withstand much force.
Luo Lie exchanged positions with An Zhai, opened the door a gap, then grabbed the door and pulled it into the inside several times. As I imagined, the nail nailed to the door panel finally loosened. Luo Lie exerted his last force and finally pulled the door open.
The kidnapper was indeed a little relaxed, just because both of the two meat tickets were a little kid, thinking that it was foolproof that he had tied his hands and feet and blocked his mouth. So the kidnapper, who held the revolver, locked the door with confidence, and joined another accomplice who was driving to deal with the carriage.
If the crime is committed during the day, there will definitely be witnesses. Even if the Peng family members do not call the police, it does not mean that there is no possibility of the witnesses being in trouble. Although the carriage was disguised, and after the disguise was removed on the road, it became another carriage, but if it cannot be dealt with in time, it will always be a hidden danger.
After dealing with the carriage, the two kidnappers returned. When they were still more than ten meters away from the door, they heard the sound of pulling the door with a "bang" clang. The two kidnappers did not dare to be negligent, exchanged their eyes, and then quickly rushed to the door, leaning on the wall, one left and one right, the one on the left took out a revolver, and the one on the right took out a steel pipe that was about one foot long from their arms.
Luo Lianzhai did not return overnight, but the old ghost Zhao Daxin and his disciples were as if nothing had happened.
The other senior brothers and sisters of the Peng family didn't see Luo Lian Zhai for the whole afternoon. They were already suspicious and were bored all night. When they were having breakfast in the restaurant the next morning, they finally couldn't help asking.
The old ghost smiled faintly and replied, "Those two little guys were disobedient and were locked up by me."
Zhao Daxin was dressed quite like that, and he even pleaded for Luo Lie in front of several junior brothers and sisters: "Master, Xiao Ba is the naughty guy. Junior Brother Seven is quite obedient. Otherwise, you can let Junior Brother Seven be released first."
The old ghost smiled and shook his head.
After breakfast, the rest of the Peng family class went to the practice room, while Lao Gui and Zhao Daxin left the station of the Global Circus.
A black Oz brand car was parked at a corner not far from the gate of the station. A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and wearing a black short-sized Tang shirt was sitting in the car. When he saw Lao Gui coming, he leaned against the other side, freeing up a seat for Lao Gui.
The middle-aged man in the car went straight to the subject and asked, "How is it? Does anyone with the surname that are abnormal?"
The old ghost sighed and shook his head and said, "I have never seen it since I came back yesterday."
The middle-aged man asked again: "Then is his usual condition?"
The old ghost thought to himself and said, "When he first came, Na Duo was very arrogant, but since the Broadway performance, this person has been much lower-key, but he is not as good as yesterday, and there is no one in sight."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "This is abnormal!" As he said that, he stretched out his hand out of the window and snapped his fingers. A person suddenly flashed across the street, which was originally empty, and he headed straight to the car.
"Go to do it!" The middle-aged man gave three simple instructions. The person who came took the order and left. The middle-aged man patted the driver in front of him on the shoulder and ordered: "Go back to the hall."
The car started, but the old ghost couldn't help asking, "Mr. Gu, if it was not what Naduo did, how would it end?"
The middle-aged man smiled faintly and said, "Stay him to stay with me for a few days to cultivate, which can be considered as giving him enough face. What can he do?"
The old ghost nodded and stopped talking.
The car drove for a while, and the Brooklyn Bridge was in front of it. Just as the car was about to get on the bridge, the middle-aged man said, "No. 118, 14th Street, Queen's Avenue, obviously is not the place where they hide hostages. My people have checked it out. It is a good place to beat the bastards."
The old ghost replied: "So, their goal is really big new?"
The middle-aged man said, "That broken place is a gathering place for Germans. It is not convenient for my people to search with great fanfare. I can only send more people to stare at it secretly. But don't worry, your apprentice sways over there and sways. My people beat the drums behind him, which will definitely alarm the bandits. If the situation changes, the bandits' first reaction must be to transfer the hostages. As long as they move, they will reveal their flaws. Don't worry, Mr. Peng, it won't take long to take my two disciples to you."
Luo Lie opened the door, and as soon as he showed his head, he was hit by a black muzzle. On the other side, the guy holding a steel pipe rushed towards An Zhai. Without saying a word, he swung the steel pipe and smashed it on An Zhai's head.
An Zhai was fat and seemed clumsy and slow to react, but in fact he had flexible and quick reactions. However, when he saw the steel pipe waving, An Zhai lowered his waist and rushed forward, just as he rushed to the man's crotch. The man wanted to jump up and dodge, but An Zhai hugged his calf. The man spread his other leg and flashed out of the gap. The steel pipe in his hand was about to swing again, but it was not time to go.
After hugging the man's calves, An Zhai showed off a yellow teeth without hesitation, and bit it hard. Taking advantage of the pain of the man, An Zhai came out of his crotch and ran out about ten meters.
"Get back! Otherwise, I will shoot him!" The guy holding the gun saw his companion bent over and covered his calves in pain and could not chase him out. In desperation, he shouted at An Zhai.
Under the gun, Luo Lie raised his hands and shouted, "Run An Zhai, don't worry about me!"
An Zhai, who was almost out of danger, heard Luo Lie's cry and suddenly stopped, turned around slowly, and then walked slowly towards this side as if he was caught in an evil spirit.
Luo Lie said anxiously: "An Zhai, don't come back, hurry up and go find the master to save me!"
An Zhai shook his head slowly and replied, "No, Luo Lie, if I escape, they will really kill you."
Luo Lieqi said: "You are stupid, An Zhai, they are just asking for money..."
The guy holding the revolver shouted loudly: "Shut up!" At the same time, he slapped Luo Lie with his left hand. Luo Lie took a step back and avoided the man's slap, but he couldn't finish his words.
At this moment, An Zhai had already stepped into the door with one foot.
"Come in!" The pain on the leg of the guy holding the steel pipe relieved a little. He grabbed An Zhai, dragged him into the room, and closed the door. "How about you, you dare to bite me?" When he scolded, he waved the steel pipe in his hand again, but this time, An Zhai did not avoid it.
"Bang!"
An Zhai, who had eaten a steel pipe in the middle of his forehead, glanced at Luo Lie blankly, and then collapsed to the ground.
Luo Lie glared at the eyes and clawed his teeth, completely roaring: "I'll fight with you!" He jumped over and fisted at the person in front of him. Although he was disorganized, he also rushed to the man and fisted a few times.
"What are you doing when you are standing there? Come and help me!" The man tried his best, but he could not subdue Luo Lie. Instead, he became more passive. In desperation, he had to ask his accomplices for help.
The guy holding the steel pipe hit An Zhai's forehead with a pipe, but unexpectedly An Zhai was smashed to collapse on the ground. Just as he was about to try the life and death of this little fat man, he heard his accomplices' call for help.
The two of them worked together to subdue Luo Lie, and then found a rope, tied Luo Lie's hands and feet again and stuffed them into pieces.
