Chapter 247 Lonely Hearts Club
"Last night, a shocking murder occurred at the Admiralty Hotel. Many business people, including Sir Wilson, were killed in an accident and tragically died in the hotel. The police currently suspect the murderer to be a Hong Kong man, and are currently investigating and collecting clues from the public. ”
Liu Banxian finished reading the newspaper in his residence and glanced at Yin Xiu again.
"Didn't you say Sir Wilson is fine?"
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "Maybe he overslept."
"Hi!"
Liu Banxian sighed, "Fortunately, I ran fast last night, otherwise I would have been caught drinking milk tea just because I brought you two people who were not on the invitation."
Yin Xiu put his hands behind his head and said with a smile: "So I said that three floors is not high. Just close your eyes and jump down, roll twice on the ground to relieve your strength. It is much better than being caught. You also You said you can’t enter the class room.”
At this point, there was a trace of anger in Liu Banxian's tone, "I just believed your words and jumped down. Why did you only catch Ma Xiaoyu?"
Yin Xiu sighed, "Because I only have one pair of hands."
"And I didn't expect that Ma's Celestial Master is actually afraid of heights. It's only three floors, and even you dare to jump off. She hesitated there for a long time. I had no choice but to pick her up."
When Liu Banxian heard this, he took out the medicinal wine and wiped it vigorously on his neck and back. "Next time, I will tell you in advance that I am afraid of heights."
Yin Xiu nodded seriously, "Next time I promise to stretch out two hands, one on each side!"
"I believe it! Your guarantee has always been trustworthy!"
Liu Banxian rolled his eyes at him, took out a few flowers from the flowerpot next to him, and put them into a paper bag.
"I'm going to the hospital. Do you want a piece?"
"No, Liu Banxian, it's just a scratch. You're so young. Just apply some bruise medicine and some saliva and you'll be fine. Which hospital should you go to?"
Liu Banxian said solemnly: "So I'm just saying, young people sleep all day long and don't get up until three o'clock in the morning. They don't have any vitality. I was talking to people downstairs in the morning, and you didn't hear a word?"
Yin Xiu was speechless. In the fight between him and Rudy last night, the physical injuries, physical and mental losses were all extremely exaggerated.
So much so that when he arrived at Liu Banxian's house, he fell asleep on a pillow and couldn't wake up even if there was thunder in his ears.
Yin Xiu asked: "Who are you talking to?"
"It doesn't matter who you talk to, what matters is the content. I'll scare you when I say it. Taoist Afa and the brave detective you talked about are hospitalized!"
……
"I am incompetent and was vampired..."
Afa had a cast on one hand and his other foot was hanging from the bed. His face looked very haggard.
Uncle Ming took a puff of cigarette, shook his head and said: "Fortunately, it's just a broken arm and a leg. I'll just lie down for two months and it will be fine."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of talisman paper and a handful of glutinous rice, wrapped them together, pointed his finger in the air, and the flames immediately burst into flames.
Then he put the talisman ashes and water in a bowl and gave it to Ah Fa. "It's much more effective than the powder in the hospital!"
After a pause, Uncle Ming looked at Luo Wei again.
Luo Wei's injuries were much less severe, but he also had two broken ribs, and his face was as white as paper.
"This young man has only broken two bones. Why should he be admitted to the hospital? He can just take a nap and be fine!"
Yin Xiu slapped Luo Wei hard on the chest, which was so painful that he almost jumped out of bed.
"Hey, okay, if you touch me again, I'll sue you for assaulting the police!"
Yin Xiu grinned, "Yongtan, we are so familiar with each other, you won't really send me to the bureau, right?"
"That's impossible to say. For someone like you, even if I don't take action, there's no guarantee that someone else will take action to punish you."
"Okay, okay, stop chatting and tell us what's going on." Uncle Ming urged.
Luo Wei's expression became more serious now. Ah Fa was seriously injured and he had to take a few breaths to speak, so naturally he had to speak.
"The thing is like this. As for the art of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang, Uncle Ming, didn't you say that Taoist Afa knows a lot about it?
There happened to be such a case recently, and I suspect that the method used by the murderer was a form of witchcraft.
So I went to find Taoist Master Afa for help. Taoist Master Afa was very enthusiastic. He heard that there was a witchcraft that could harm people, so he immediately packed up his things and went with me to check on the situation.
The incident took place in an apartment in Jordan. I suspect that the method used by the prisoner is very similar to the flying head drop mentioned in comic books, you know... Hey, I digressed.
Anyway, when we arrived in Jordan, there were not many people on the streets. You also know that there are a lot of dwarf mules around at night, and serious people don’t go out after work.
As a result, as soon as we reached the intersection, a black carriage crashed out of the fork in the road, and the wheels barely touched my feet.
I was so furious at the time that I immediately wanted to catch up to Liang Zheng and educate them. How could they run so fast on the street?
Taoist Master Afa was much calmer. He said it was normal for rich people to drive drunk and drive. He told me not to interfere and not to block their reincarnation.
Since he said this, I agreed. Who calls him a Taoist priest?
But I never expected that the scene that happened next really made me jump into a rage. I have never seen anything so cruel in my life.
That carriage almost ran over me before, but luckily I was nimble and quick to avoid it...
Okay, okay, I know none of you want to know how I escaped. Pujie, I have to be hit to death before you will care about the speed of the carriage?
Anyway, a woman was thrown out of the carriage. To be precise, it was a woman's body.
Taoist Master Afa and I immediately rushed up, took the woman and took a look. She was all white, and all the blood in her body seemed to have been sucked dry, leaving only a layer of hard and white flesh.
There were two obvious holes on her neck, with a few drops of black blood.
I'm here to help you! It's a vampire! If I remember correctly, Taoist Master Afa scolded him like this at that time.
We caught up immediately. The carriage was very fast, but my bullets were faster.
You know, when I was in the police academy, I was a decathlete. I took out my gun at that time and used this Merlin revolver. I fired only five shots and the reins of the carriage were broken by me.
The balance of the carriage was destroyed. It hit the ground, set off a series of sparks, rolled and crashed into the tenement building next to it, and fell apart on the spot.
The carriage driver was the first to rush over. Sure enough, as Taoist Afa said, it was a vampire, but a relatively low-level blood slave.
Therefore, he was taken care of by Taoist Master Afa in just a few strokes, and he died clearly.
Then, the vampire bastard rolled out of the carriage. His eyes were red and his face was pale. He looked like a lawless element at first glance.
It's said that he is a vampire. Although Taoism is not very effective against him, Taoist Master Afa is also very capable of fighting.
With my great assistance, the two sides fought for more than ten rounds, and finally the bastard was defeated step by step.
But just when we were about to capture him, a man shrouded in a cloak came out from nowhere, full of murderous intent and coldness.
Taoist Master Afa faced such a powerful enemy without any fear and sacrificed his life to defend the Tao..."
"I'm going to beat you up, it's like I'm dead!"
Ah Fa sat up immediately, as if doing sit-ups, with his waist straight.
After taking a deep breath, he said: "I will tell you what happens next. This note is like writing a report. I even have to tell you how many bowls of rice I have eaten and how many cups of milk tea I have drunk." Afa stared. He glanced at them, then looked at Uncle Ming and Yin Xiu, with a bitter look on his face.
"I'm not making excuses, that guy is indeed not an ordinary vampire.
After just a few fights, I was bruised and bruised.
Senior brother, you know that if we divide them according to what this priest said, I can deal with even a baron-level vampire.
He was obviously of a higher level, probably earl level I guessed. ”
"Earl!?" Yin Xiu and Uncle Ming looked at each other.
According to some information previously learned, the count is the treasure of every vampire family.
In common knowledge, excluding those legends that either disappeared or fell asleep, the Count was equivalent to the top combat force in the vampire world.
Except for the four major blood families, in any family, the earl can become a patriarch-like existence, towering over the top of the entire family.
Logically speaking, all the vampire counts now should be fighting that war in Europe. How could a count-level one come to the Far East?
But Afa is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. The only one who can beat him so badly in a few rounds is probably the count-level vampire he calls.
This couldn't help but remind Yin Xiu of the enemy he met in the club before.
With just a casual grab, an endless sense of oppression hits you, making you feel that there is no possibility of escape or resistance.
That guy is simply terrifying.
Until now, Yin Xiu felt that if he had been caught by the other party, he would definitely die.
I'm afraid Afa and Luo Wei encountered that monster unintentionally.
Of course, it can also be said that they blocked a shot for themselves, otherwise the latecomers would also go to the Admiralty Hotel.
If the count comes, Yin Xiu will have no choice but to escape.
Or is that guy the [Smith] Sir Wilson calls him?
It's just that everything is still an unsolved mystery at the moment, although he has been getting closer to the truth step by step.
Club, Pan-Asian Chamber of Commerce, Count Vampire, what is hidden behind this, we may start with the pile of letters in Wilson's study.
Originally, Luo Wei was the best candidate, but unfortunately he broke two ribs and was lying in bed.
It would be great if the [Hand of Light] obtained from Paladin Rudy after killing him could heal him.
Unfortunately, that skill does not seem to be of much help for serious injuries such as broken bones. It can only heal some wounds and poisoning conditions. If the wounds are scabbed, it is of little significance.
Otherwise, if Afa and Luo Wei were given a shot, both of them would be alive and kicking by now.
Seemingly seeing the hesitation on Yin Xiu's face, Luo Wei said: "I watched the news. Did you do the case at the Admiralty Hotel last night?"
Yin Xiu grinned, "Recuperate when you are sick. Why don't you read newspapers all day long? There are so many papers in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Without you, Blue Star will not stop spinning!"
Luo Wei scratched his head and said calmly: "Tell me, what's the trouble again? Are you looking for someone again? Has the club made any progress?"
Yin Xiu took out a letter from his pocket, "It's not impossible. From Sir Wilson's letter, I found out that they are called [Lonely Hearts Club]. Is this a major discovery?"
"Of course not!"
Luo Wei glanced at him and sighed helplessly.
He gave up pointing out that the letter was actually Yin Xiu's "evidence of guilt".
"Put it away first, before others find out. Lonely Hearts Club, right? Just the name?"
Yin Xiu nodded: "Except for the name, I couldn't find even a business card."
Luo Wei struggled to raise a hand and put it under his chin.
"It should be a secret organization. It's different from those prefixes and societies. Could it be the name of a bar or club?"
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "There are hundreds of bars of different sizes on Bolan Street alone. Some are registered and some are not. Even if I go to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to check, I'm afraid it will take me several days to find them."
< br>
Luo Wei rolled his eyes, "This is just for one district. When you look through all the districts, everyone's clubs have closed down."
Yin Xiu took the opportunity to ask: "What do you have to say?"
"Takami? Asami!"
After a pause, Luo Wei said with some reluctance: "I don't know what's going on. Every time I investigate something with you, I end up in the hospital. I'm really afraid that I will die directly next time."
"Spit! It's auspicious! I'll make you spit and say it again."
After Luo Wei waved his hand to signal Yin Xiu to stop talking nonsense, he pointed to the wardrobe next to him.
"There is a business card in the right pocket of my coat. Please turn it out."
Yin Xiu opened the closet and found the piece of paper.
"Big Rich Nightclub Group B..."
"Wrong, wrong! Left, the one on the left!" Rowe shouted.
"Hey, please make it clear. There is no distinction between left and right. If you were in the police academy like this, you would have been expelled by the instructor and used as an undercover agent."
Yin Xiu said as he took out a yellowed, wrinkled, and slightly blurred business card from his left pocket.
"This one?"
"Yes, he and I were in the same period. We used to guard the same ring, but then he couldn't get along with the police force. Now he is a private detective. You can ask him for help."
"Oh." Yin Xiu nodded, "Another fool."
"What do you mean?" Luo Wei frowned.
"It's just that you don't accept illegal money when you are a penny, what else is this if you are not a fool?" Uncle Ming said.
"Uncle Ming, can you show some respect to me? I am also a detective after all."
Luo Wei sighed, "He is different from me. He left the police force not because he did not accept illegal money. It was because of his method. How should I put it? It was a bit cruel."
"Cruel? Isn't that what you guys do, pepper water, smashing rocks on the chest, stabbing with sticks, and drinking judicial milk tea (hair mixed with milk tea)? Isn't that weird?"
Luo Wei scratched his head, "That's right, but it's also different. Although it's illegal, no one will care if you use this against those big thieves.
But if you use this trick on those gentlemen and the young masters of the congressman's family, won't your boss punish you to death? ”
"Then he is indeed a little cruel."
Yin Xiu and Uncle Ming gave a thumbs up in unison.
