Chapter 252 Infernal Affairs
"Here, step over the brazier and take a bath with grapefruit leaves. This will purge all the bad luck from your body and you will be safe from now on."
As Liu Banxian spoke, he slapped Yin Xiu with branches of grapefruit leaves, and from time to time brought up a splash of water from the basin.
Yin Xiu frowned and said: "Liu Banxian, I didn't just come out from the kiln, so I don't need to do this, right?"
"Who said that?"
Liu Banxian hit Yin Xiu's face with a branch, "This is called taking precautions. The murderous atmosphere in the police station goes against the peace of our Xuanmen people. Are you right, Uncle Ming?"
< br>
Uncle Ming just smoked while shaking his head and said: "Choice! I can't be peaceful even if I'm being tortured like that!"
After a pause, he looked at Yin Xiu again, "I really underestimated you, that old bastard Yan Rong. I wanted to punch him a few times, but I didn't expect you to be able to hold it back and didn't even touch him with a finger." .”
Yin Xiu grinned, "Killing a patrol officer is such a serious crime! How dare a law-abiding citizen like me do it?"
"You are the best."
Uncle Ming rolled his eyes at him.
"I'm already very grateful to you for not making me run away too."
"That's right." Liu Banxian also nodded, "It took a lot of effort for me to get rich. Oh no, I want to get ahead. If you get involved and run away to Southeast Asia, I will go crazy."
Yin Xiu narrowed her eyes, "Why are you not being implicated? Liu Banxian, you are an accomplice."
"I, when did I..."
Liu Banxian was stunned for a moment, then took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into Yin Xiu's hand.
"Forget it, forget it, let's not mention it. It's auspicious. There are some things we agree on, and we can just let them rot in our stomachs."
Yin Xiu stuffed the red envelope into his pocket with satisfaction and said calmly: "Yes, the most important thing is to look forward. Just treat those unpleasant things as chalk and erase them!"
"Totally agree! Totally agree!"
Liu Banxian and Yin Xiu hugged each other excitedly, looking much more harmonious than those brothers who shared life and death.
Uncle Ming shook his head and brought the conversation back to the topic.
"What, have you found out who is going to deal with you?"
Yin Xiu put away her smile and said seriously: "The person who called that bastard Yanrong couldn't be an ordinary person.
I thought about it and found that Long Gen had a motive, but he didn't have the strength or courage. He was just a big dwarf mule.
No matter how you think about it, only those from the Pan-Asian Chamber of Commerce have such skills. ”
Uncle Ming nodded, "I don't know about those twists and turns, but I also think there must be some conspiracy hidden in it. What are you going to do?"
Yin Xiu flicked his sleeves, and a yellowed business card appeared between his fingers.
"I plan to meet the private detective Luo Wei told me about."
"Oh, where is he?"
Yin Xiu glanced at the address with a complicated expression, "Yaliao Street."
……
Apliao Street was originally named because the whole street was covered with ducks.
Nowadays, few people keep ducks, but this place is still famous for its large number of ducks. To some extent, it is the same as Bowland Street, and it has become a good place for people to indulge in entertainment and entertainment.
But for Yin Xiu, there was no pleasure in coming here.
On the contrary, those strange gazes made him a little uneasy and made his skin crawl.
Forget about the women, it was the men who always looked at Yin Xiu with a look of prey when they passed by, hot and greasy.
She didn't read the note carefully when she took it, but now Yin Xiu just felt that she finally found the reason why Luo Wei had been able to keep clean for so many years in the police force.
It turns out that he is just playing "that". If you give him a woman and he is interested, then there is something wrong!
While walking like this, a man finally came up to me, his eyes full of strange light.
Yin Xiu glanced at him. He was a man wearing a floral shirt and brown disc sunglasses. He had fluffy hair and a cheap gold chain. His face was full of frivolity.
"Brother, I see that you are handsome and elegant. I wonder if you are interested in finding a part-time job?"
Yin Xiu raised an eyebrow, "Part-time job?"
"That's right, just come for three hours a day at night. Food and drinks are included. If you want to sleep, just sleep directly. Our club is very big."
"Clubhouse?"
"That's right."
The man took out a business card and said, "Cowboy Club, Xiaochun, gold medal agent."
"Oh, groom?"
Yin Xiu took the business card and glanced at it casually.
Xiaochun continued: "No, no, no, those on Bolan Street are called grooms. We all go to high-end places and are in the high-end service industry, so naturally we are called agents."
"You can call him anything. I want to find this person. Can you help me find him?"
As he spoke, Yin Xiu took out his business card from his pocket.
"Looking for someone? I can't find anyone. As we all know, there is no one on Apliu Street that I, Xiaochun, can't find."
The man slapped his chest loudly until he saw the business card that Yin Xiu took out from his pocket.
"Sorry, I don't know you."
He turned and left.
"Hey, man."
As soon as Yin Xiu put his hand on the opponent's shoulder, he felt a huge force coming from his hand.
It turned out that Xiaochun had turned around at some point and put his hand on Yin Xiu's pulse gate.
Just as he was about to flip his elbow, Yin Xiu followed up with his other hand and touched Xiaochun's eyes.
What a vicious method!
Xiaochun opened his mouth and swallowed a gust of cold wind, pulled back with his hand, gave up on blocking Yin Xiu's wrist, jumped back, avoided the hand poking at the eye, and kicked Yin Xiu fiercely in the abdomen.
Yin Xiu's eyes filled with rage, she twisted her feet, moved her waist to the side, and put her palm towards the opponent's ribs, using wind and thunder with such force that it would cause eardrum pain.
Just when the palm was about to hit her body, Xiaochun's floral shirt suddenly bulged and she took the palm forcefully.
At the same time, he punched Yin Xiu in the face, and his originally well-proportioned arms swelled in size, which was obviously a move from the cannon punch.
Old ape hanging seal!
When Yin Xiu slapped the opponent's body with a palm, he had already noticed that the opponent's body had a lot of horizontal training. Not to mention that it was indestructible, at least it would be no problem to receive this palm.
Therefore, as soon as he touched the opponent's body, the strength in his hands immediately changed from strong to soft, and with a gentle push on the ribs, he turned around with his old body, and hung his elbow on Xiaochun's arm.
While holding the punch, he also used the force of his fist to hit the opponent's head.
In the flash of lightning, Xiaochun's figure seemed to be staggering, but in fact he was retreating calmly. Finally, Yin Xiu punched the tip of his nose, causing goosebumps all over his hands. "Holy crap, who are you? You can't do this Bagua hand without twenty years of skill!"
Yin Xiu grinned, "You're not bad at practicing the cannon boxing and golden bell shield either."
The man waved his hand, "It's just a move injector. Just like you, I don't have the time to practice and can't find a master."
Yin Xiu said sternly: "Practicing martial arts without practicing kung fu will ultimately be in vain. If you don't have enough strength, no matter how you practice the moves, they will all be fake."
Xiaochun looked around. The fight between the two of them just now was only a matter of millimeters, and it ended almost in the blink of an eye. There was no big fight, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.
So he snorted coldly: "By the way, who are you, and do you know who I am?"
"Yin Xiu, a passing mechanical technician."
Yin Xiu said, holding the business card in front of the other party and pointing to the name on it with one finger, "If I guessed correctly, your real name should be Haruyo."
"If possible, I would rather you call me Xiaochun."
"Okay, Haruyo."
"Call me whatever you want, annoying!"
As he spoke, he took the business card, glanced at it, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it.
Then asked: "Did Luo Wei give it to you?"
As soon as he saw Yin Xiu's expression, he said first: "It's very simple. My name card is not issued to everyone. The coffee stains on it have a sour smell. Among the people I know who like to drink this kind of South American coffee, , only Luo Wei.”
Yin Xiu nodded, "Yes, Luo Wei asked me to come to you."
"So, that guy is not dead yet?"
Haruyo scratched his head, a little casually, "How is that guy doing recently?"
"I was hospitalized. I was slapped by a vampire and broke two ribs."
Hearing the word vampire coming out of Yin Xiu's mouth, Haruyo didn't seem to be surprised at all. He just nodded lightly, "This guy has recently transformed into a soul-searching detective? He's not enough to fight with people, and now he's hunting ghosts for fun."
He glanced at Yin Xiu and said, "Come with me, it's not convenient to talk here."
Yin Xiu nodded, and the two of them walked in tandem, as if they didn't know each other, keeping a distance that was neither far nor close, and walked slowly.
Although they seemed to be walking very slowly, in just a few steps they bypassed several winding alleys and entered an alley.
Next to the red mailbox, Haruyo took out a letter from his pocket.
Then he carefully took out a stamp, sighed on the back, stuck it tightly on it, and threw it into the mailbox.
After a while, in a hidden corner of the alley, the wall moved, revealing a gap.
"There are people living in this mailbox."
Smiling at Yin Xiu, Haruyo took the lead and walked forward, standing at the edge of the gap.
Then he waved to Yin Xiu again, "Come quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to find her when the location changes."
Yin Xiu glanced to the left and right, then wrapped her clothes tightly and walked up quickly.
At this time, Haruyo had pushed open the gap a little, forming a small door that was large enough for a person to pass through with his head bowed.
"You go first?" Yin Xiu made a gesture of invitation.
"What, are you afraid that I will poison you?"
Haruyo smiled, said no more, turned around and walked in, followed closely by Yin Xiu.
Inside is a staircase that leads directly to the bottom. The stairs are very steep and each step is very narrow, with only one foot just enough to step on it.
In addition, the lights are dim, so if you want to go down, you can only hold on to the wall and move down step by step, and you can't walk even a little faster.
This was probably also a way to delay the enemy's attack. By the time those people slowly moved down, the people in the secret room had already made preparations or simply ran away.
When they stepped onto the resting platform of the first flight of stairs, the wall closed with a dull sound.
The faint light coming from outside the wall immediately disappeared.
Haruyo said while feeling the wall and walking down: "Brother, you don't have claustrophobia, do you?"
Yin Xiu said calmly: "I am not afraid of anything except poverty and hunger."
"Haha, that's similar to me, but I'm more extreme. You must have heard about me from Luo Wei, right?
When I handle a case, if the suspect is a poor person, I will try to be as fair as possible. It is best if he is willing to tell the truth. If he is dishonest, I will try my best to avoid any internal injuries.
But if some young man or wealthy businessman comes, I won’t ask anything when he comes in. I’ll stab him with two sticks first.
For no other reason than because of these bastards, even if you collect evidence, you won't be able to solve the case in the end. You have lawyers, and those litigators who go to court will open their mouths and turn all the bad things into white for you.
Even more powerful, this gentleman's son, that chief's son, you arrested him today, and before it was even twelve o'clock in the evening, the boss signed a contract and asked someone to guarantee the bastard out.
What's the point of trying to do procedural justice? I might as well give them a beating first! ”
Haruyo's voice echoed and overlapped in this small, claustrophobic space, sounding hazy and vaguely like the murmur of a ghost.
Yin Xiu followed him for a while, and finally came to the end of the stairs, which was a platform large enough for several people to stay.
In front of them was a huge space like a rock wall.
In the deep darkness, there are a few light spots, shining green light, like stars in the night sky, shining faintly.
Haruyo walked to the edge of the platform. Underground was a steep and straight rock wall like a cliff.
“Here, I don’t know who first discovered this huge cave, which is independent of the sewer network of Hong Kong and Kowloon. No one knows how big it is.
Hermits, treasure hunters, fugitives, and smugglers dug around here like ants, and gradually expanded it.
Some people say that if they continue digging like this, a huge hole will be formed here, and the ground on Hong Kong Island will one day be trampled by them. ”
Stomping his feet, several pieces of gravel immediately fell from the edge of the platform.
Haruyo clicked on several bright spots with his fingers, "That place is for the hospital. A weird old man opened a clinic there and worked as a black market doctor, charging very high fees."
"They sell food there. Biscuits and canned pork that are decades old can be bought there at very cheap prices. Those buffets outside would not be able to open without him."
"There is also a very evil place there. There are often people selling paper buns there, and the yin energy is very strong."
Yin Xiu followed his instructions and took a look, only seeing a little green light. As for the deeper things, I'm afraid I have to walk up a flight of stairs to see them like before.
But those steep rock walls are obviously not easy to climb.
It seems that if you want to go somewhere else, you can only enter from the ground, find a suitable entrance and go there.
"Then, where do those places go?" Yin Xiu pointed to the green dots above.
"I don't know. There are some places that I have never been to. Besides, there is no unified planning for this place. New places collapse or are built every day. No one knows how many secret rooms are hidden here. How many secret rooms are there?" A mysterious figure, so..."
Haruyo glanced at him and said with a smile: "So, we call this place [Infinite]."
