Chapter 237 Night Visit to the Club
"Man, please have a cup of frozen mandarin duck."
The waiter turned his head, looked at the visitor, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and raised his eyelids slightly.
"Sir, we are a high-end place here, a British-style cafe. We only provide milk tea or coffee, the kind of things sold at roadside stalls. We don't have them here."
Yin Xiu nodded, "That's great. I like high-end places. I still think the roadside stalls are dirty. Please serve me half a cup of milk tea, half a cup of coffee, and a cup of ice. Don't add sugar to the milk tea and don't add milk to the coffee. Two more spoons of condensed milk and a big cup, that’s it!”
The waiter resisted dizziness, took a few deep breaths, and looked at another guest with a painful expression, "Sir, are you the same?"
Luo Wei cleared his throat awkwardly, "Just a cup of coffee, thank you."
Looking at the strange looks from the people around him, Luo Wei lowered his head and said, "Why are you embarrassing a waiter?"
"I didn't make things difficult for him!"
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "He said it himself. There is no one here. If not, I can only adjust it myself. And speaking of it, the fault is still yours."
"I invited you out for coffee, what did I do wrong?" Luo Wei said in surprise.
"That's natural! Rich gangsters like you have so much money and nowhere to spend it. They are used to going to high-end places and drinking black coffee and champagne like those foreign devils all day long.
You don’t even think about the fact that we, the lowest class of society, don’t even know how to hold a knife and fork, and yet we go to such a high-end restaurant to drink coffee. Are you deliberately waiting to see my joke? ”
Luo Wei rolled his eyes, "Okay, then just think that I did something wrong, that I did something bad with good intentions, and I'll leave now. As for the thing you want me to check, I'll treat it as something that I did wrong, and go back and burn it." That’s it, pay the bill...”
Seeing that Luo Wei really wanted to get up, Yin Xiu quickly pulled him back with a smile on her face.
He smiled and said: "Hey, this is just a joke between buddies. Who doesn't know that you are wise and powerful? Detective Yong, you haven't seen anyone in the police station. Why are you arguing with me?"
"You?" Luo Wei raised his eyebrows, "There is no such difficult person as you in the police station."
"A good citizen like me..."
"Good citizen? If you were a good citizen, even the short mules in the society could be regarded as moral models!"
Seeing that Yin Xiu still wanted to speak, Luo Wei quickly interrupted him: "Okay, okay! Stop talking nonsense! Sir, I still have a case to handle."
As he spoke, he took out a brown paper bag, placed it on the table, and patted it with his hand.
"I've got what you asked me to check. About Luo Lichen, from the letters, addresses, characters, and some reasoning, I roughly figured out the ins and outs. Please listen to me explain..."
It turns out that just as Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu guessed, Luo Lichen also ran to Hong Kong Island to escape the war that swept the entire vampire world.
It's just that as the son of an earl, he is not like other vampires. He just finds a place to hide in seclusion and avoid the limelight.
Many people have mentioned before that Hong Kong Island, as an important port in the Far East, has a unique geographical location and can even disrupt the entire Pan-Asian structure to a great extent.
Therefore, Luo Lichen came here, on one hand to collect the remnants of the family, and on the other hand, he hoped to establish a new vampire family here, using Hong Kong Island as a bridgehead to control the entire Pan-Asia.
"What, he wants to be the boss?"
Luo Wei glanced at him and said, "Who doesn't want to? Isn't it to become the boss and fight in the street with Li Sheng's bunch of short mules every day to keep fit?"
"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that Luo Lichen, that bastard, doesn't have that kind of ability. There may be a king hiding behind him, a person with hands and eyes that reach the sky."
"I think so too."
Luo Wei pointed his finger at the table and continued: "There should be a more powerful vampire, or someone behind him, otherwise I checked the records and found out that he had only been in Hong Kong Island for less than half a year, how could he have gained such power? And resources? There must be someone behind this to support him.”
"It doesn't matter whether he is tall or not, but that person must be very sinister."
Saying that, Yin Xiu stretched out her hand to him.
"What?"
"Information, that person's information."
Luo Wei shook his head, "I haven't found any information yet, but there is an address. They call it [Club]. I suspect it is a place where those guys related to Luo Lichen often gather."
Yin Xiu waved to him again, "Bring it here."
"I plan to go with you."
Yin Xiu glanced at him, "Let's go together? Are you crazy, Yongtan? Last time you stayed in the hospital for two weeks and almost died."
Luo Wei didn't take it seriously, "After all, I'm also a Hong Kong Island patrol officer. They will definitely be a little jealous when they see me. This will make it easier for you to handle things."
"Afraid of you? Do you think I'm afraid of you? Do you still expect those lawless gangsters to be afraid of you? Save it! I'll go by myself."
Luo Wei hurriedly shouted: "How about you call Uncle Ming? It would be nice to have some help."
Yin Xiu stood up and walked out nonchalantly, waving to him, "It's just for a look. We have to go out to fight first. I can't be so unlucky and meet someone as soon as I go, right?"
"That's right, you are not so lucky."
Luo Wei nodded, then seemed to remember something, and shouted: "By the way, when you encounter those people, you must call the police first and hand them over to the patrol! You have to believe that the law can punish these scum!"
Yin Xiu didn't look back, she just waved to him to indicate that she heard him.
"I know! Am I the kind of person who breaks the law at will? Even the ants on the roadside, I can't bear to step on one!"
Yin Xiu said, opened the door and walked out.
……
Tenement houses, endless old-fashioned tenement buildings, are a unique sight in the Western District. Like the Bund, the magical capital, this place can always arouse some people's nostalgia.
Recently, she was used to going to the big mansions in Mid-Levels, but Yin Xiu felt a little uncomfortable coming to a "mundane" place like Western District.
It is already the end of summer, and the weather is still very hot. After all, here, the only difference is winter and summer, and the other two seasons are always absent.
After tightening his collar, Yin Xiu arranged his sleeves and hid the two sharp knives further inside, making himself look like a passing tourist or a lost person.
"It's normal for people like me to drink too much and take the wrong path."
Yin Xiu picked up the wine bottle he carried with him and took a sip, then looked around.
After discovering that there were no pedestrians around, he flashed and jumped along the wall to the second floor.
Then he deftly turned in from the window, and the sound when his toes landed was like a bug hitting the paper window, with a thin and muffled sound.
From the outside, this tenement building looked no different from other buildings in this dilapidated and desolate old city. But as soon as he entered, a cold air hit him, causing Yin Xiu to get goosebumps on his hands.
"So evil."
Yin Xiu rubbed her palms red and covered her neck, and the coldness was slightly dissipated. The place he turned in was a small study room with several dusty English books on it. They were all novels and illustrations, nothing special.
After looking through it and finding that there was no value in searching, Yin Xiu planned to walk out.
The door leading to other places in the study is tightly closed, isolating this place from the outside world.
Yin Xiu clung to the wall, trying not to make her shadow elongated by the light coming in from the window, and then moved slowly and slowly.
He reached forward with one hand and put the other on his waist, ready to hurt someone at any time.
As soon as he put his hand on the handle, Yin Xiu discovered that the door had been locked from the outside. It was obvious that it only existed as some kind of "decoration" and was not regarded as part of the main body of the building.
The sleeves opened and closed, and Yin Xiu had already grasped a small screwdriver in his hand.
After a pause, Yin Xiu suddenly turned her fingers, held the screwdriver behind her back, and pierced the door.
The iron handle was inserted through the door, at about the height of his head, and blood spurted out from the hole in the wooden door.
Yin Xiu twisted and released her wrist. As soon as she released her fingers, the wooden handle was dragged away by a huge force, and a hole was opened in the wooden door again.
Then, with a scream, a pair of pitch-black claws broke through the door, and each palm looked like it could easily crush an adult's head.
The sharp, white nails and the jagged frame, joints and muscles seem to have nothing to do with humans.
There was another roar, a bloody head crashed in, and the wooden door with holes in it was instantly torn to pieces.
It was a black head that resembled a bat, with red eyes and an open mouth, revealing two yellowed fangs.
The screwdriver Yin Xiu stabbed just now was still stuck in one of the monster's eyes, with only the handle exposed.
"I'll attack you! Gargoyle!"
Gargoyles look like giant bats, so some people in Pan Asia call them bat monsters.
Huge claws, ferocious wings, and a terrifying face.
Infinite strength, bloodthirsty, and the ability to fly freely in the dark.
Almost like vampires, they are deeply imprinted in people's fear of the night, and their colors change when they are mentioned.
"Didn't the "Handbook of Darkness" say that this thing is extinct!? Has it become a legend in CD City? Sure enough, those werewolves have much less knowledge than their hair!"
Yin Xiu complained, punching the gargoyle's face with a fist, and the room was filled with purple energy.
The gargoyle turned a blind eye to the punch, as if it didn't take human strength seriously. It faced Yin Xiu's fist and swung its claws towards his waist and abdomen.
If this claw were real, I'm afraid even the cement pile would have to be broken in half.
But Yin Xiu didn't care and squeezed out a cold snort from her throat.
"Red Scale·Xihe Mode!"
Light! The blazing fire turned from its original red color to as bright as the sun, dazzling, almost like a white rainbow, a flash bomb, lighting up the room.
The gargoyle's remaining eye was stung by the bright light and burst into tears, and he soon screamed.
But then, a loud noise drowned out the screams.
With a loud bang, the gargoyle's head exploded like a watermelon, and half of its huge head was instantly lost, with only the other half still hanging around its neck, dangling with some minced meat.
Yin Xiu punched hard, bent his knees and bent his body, almost like a bow, but he still did not relax his strength.
When he turned around, his cuffs suddenly opened, and two sharp black lights left afterimages in the air.
One knife struck the head and the other struck the neck. The two black lights arrived almost at the same time. The gargoyle grunted and the basketball-sized head flew high into the sky. Yin Xiu turned around and grabbed it with one hand, holding it in the palm of his hand.
The red scale on his left hand, due to the high load operation just now, was blowing out white smoke. The arm slowly retracted, and the room suddenly filled with fog.

【Evil people will have their own trials and tribulations...】
The hall on the first floor of the tenement building has been specially decorated, with red carpets and crystal lamps. Several sofas were imported from Anglia. They are exquisitely made and the armrests are carved with detailed patterns.
Two men were sitting at a table, concentrating on playing chess, unaware of what was going on outside.
Both of them were dressed meticulously, with sloping heads, suits and ties, and beards. They sat upright and upright.
They were almost identical in appearance, with high cheekbones, hooked noses, and dark blue eyes sunk in their sockets.
One of them thought for a long time. He was picking up the "knight" with two sharp-knuckled fingers and wanted to place it on a certain position when suddenly a head fell on the chessboard.
The chess pieces made of ivory and the chessboard made of rosewood were mixed with blood and minced meat and scattered.
The man still held the "knight" in his hand, and the victory that was about to be obtained disappeared in an instant.
Not to mention a victory in the situation, even the chessboard itself was mixed with chess pieces and was smashed into a pile of pieces.
He glanced at the bloody head of the gargoyle, and then at the blood stains on his collar.
The blond man looked up and saw Yin Xiuzheng standing on the second floor, with one foot on the railing, arms clasped together, and looking at the two of them coldly.
"Tang Tang, those railings are made of North American oak. If you step on one and break one, I won't be able to compensate you even if I send you to America to build a railroad for a hundred years!"
"Is it so expensive? You have to be careful."
Yin Xiu breathed a sigh of relief on the railing and wiped it with his hands.
Then, with a slight exertion under his feet, the shiny and beautifully decorated railings and handrails screamed and broke.
