Chapter 15 Anger
It is night, already deep.
The bright moonlight shines into the warehouse through the window, like a spotlight on a dark stage.
Gilan was leaning in the corner, with various heretical books pillowed under his head. There were four or five plaster sculptures of female "angels" standing on both sides. They spread their wings on their backs and smiled naked, as if they were smiling. Guarding the blond young man in the middle.
His legs were casually placed on a gramophone, and his indifferent eyes were staring at the ceiling.
My mind kept thinking about what happened during the day.
Momir told him all the secrets he overheard, which made Gilan secretly resentful.
Although he had long realized that the gang had an impure purpose in bringing him back, he did not expect that the Oak Gang boss Lucas would change hands and sell him, nor did he expect that the police station would move so quickly and even alert him. to the superior department.
But Jilan was mentally prepared for this. He was just annoyed that he didn't have much time.
Before I had time to collect more information and intelligence, the enemy had already caught up with me.
'If nothing else happens, Lucas will send someone to test me tomorrow, and even use torture to force me to hand over the film... Hehe, we'll see. ’
Gilan grinned with a sneer.
His eyes moved and looked at the projector placed in the center of the warehouse.
'The best way to break the situation right now is to find more armed forces from the movie world... Unfortunately, there are still no clues about the residence of the village secretary. ’
Suddenly, Gilan thought of something.
When he was facing a desperate situation in the police station jail, it was precisely because of the "testing link" of the epidemic prevention personnel that he came into contact with a piece of negative film, and thus obtained the inspiration of the dream, which allowed him to avoid the first wave in the movie. Danger, and got a double-barreled shotgun.
‘Can I once again receive guidance as to the Clerk’s residence through the revelation of a dream? ’
Jilan thought for a while and felt that this idea could be given a try.
He immediately took out the black film reel, held it in his arms, and closed his eyes.
‘Beautiful, dreaming. ’
I muttered something silently in my heart, regardless of whether it could actually be realized.
In the quiet night, the moonlight draped over Ji Lan like a thin blanket.
I don’t know how much time passed, but his breathing gradually became longer, and colorful colors invisible to others were looming, radiating from the back of his head, and slowly fluctuating with his breathing - like a rainbow aperture.
Jilan had a dream.
In the dream, he once again got on the old train that was bound to stop. The subsequent development was just like his experience during the day. He met the folklorist Ma Wei and the surgeon Brun. South.
Under the guidance of Ji Lan, the two of them passed through the bear trap and escaped the attacks of the "Gong Wolf" group, and finally arrived at the village in the forest.
But here, a completely different development occurred.
Gilan followed his intuition and suggested splitting up, so that it would be more efficient for the three of them to find a way out of the village. So they separated on the stone square and agreed to continue to meet here.
But when Gillan returned after exploring a circle, he only saw the figure of the girl Maiev, and Dr. Brennan was inexplicably missing.
However, the doctor left a text message in the square in advance, as if he had discovered something.
But the words were blurred in the dream, and even though Gilan tried his best to read them, it was difficult to make them out.
Bang bang bang bang!
A sound of banging on the iron door suddenly sounded.
Jilan opened his eyes suddenly.
He quickly glanced out the window, the night had long faded, and it was the early morning of the next day.
‘Dreams do work! It seems that if you want to find the clerk's residence, you need to get the message left by Dr. Brennan! ’
Jilan took a deep breath and stood up.
The black film reel in my arms was also wrapped in color at the same time and disappeared without a trace.
He took a few steps forward and opened the warehouse door a crack.
Randolph’s smiling face suddenly appeared outside the door. He was holding two baked potatoes and a glass of water in his hand, and said:
"Good morning, Brother Gillan, this is your light meal today."
"Thank you." Gillan took the food and asked calmly: "Why isn't Momir here to deliver the meal today? Are you asking Randolph to go there in person?" "Momir..." After hearing this, Randolph's smile gradually disappeared, his face became ugly, and he sighed: "Oh, he... he is dead." br>
Jilan was startled.
Momir is dead? !
Although he had no feelings for this childish seventeen-year-old boy, he had to admit that he regarded him as a true friend. He was also the only person who cared about him after he traveled to this world, and even dared to risk his life. Danger whispers.
But now, this man is dead.
"How did he die?" Gillan asked expressionlessly. "Randolph, do you know?"
"Little Momi was discovered by the patrolling 'Prohibition Agents' when he was selling liquor on Black Barrel Street last night. He tried to escape, but failed. Instead, he was accidentally shot by those damn Bobbys, and even the body was taken away and burned."
Randolph said angrily.
‘Being shot dead in the street by a police officer... ha. ’
Jilan sneered secretly in her heart.
Momir snitched yesterday and died on the street today. If this was a coincidence, he would never believe it.
"What time did he go?" Jilan asked casually.
"It was about ten o'clock. I can't remember exactly, but it was already very late at that time. I didn't expect that group of Bobbys were still patrolling." Randolph didn't know why Gilan asked so, so Answered casually.
He shook his head with a sad face and said a few words of comfort.
Soon, he seemed to think of something again and asked: "By the way, the boss asked me to ask you this morning if you have seen a black film reel at the police station."
Randolph had already asked the two brothers guarding the "Wealth Well", but when they checked Gillan's handbag yesterday, they did not see the film inside.
So he was sure that Gilan must have hidden it elsewhere.
“Film?” Jilan pretended to be absent-minded and shook his head blankly. "Didn't pay attention."
"Is that so... Okay then." Randolph's eyes stayed on Gillan's face, and after hearing the answer, he smiled indifferently. "If you think of anything, you must tell me in time."
He leaned over and whispered:
"The boss said that those Bobbys seemed to attach great importance to that thing, but now Lost it, hey, if we can find it, we can blackmail Director Hashem a lot and avenge little Momi!"
Jilan nodded.
Randolph patted him on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Looking at the back of the long-haired man walking away, Ji Lan's eyes were cold and silent.
He can now confirm that the death of Momir was caused by Lucas, the boss of the Oak Gang.
According to the information leaked by Momier, Gillan knew that Lucas used himself as a bargaining chip to make a black deal with Director Hashem. There will be no inspections from 7 to 9 pm this week. personnel.
But Lucas deliberately asked Momier to sell bootlegging wine at ten o'clock, just to kill him.
Gilan can even imagine that the weak and immature Momir knew that there would be a huge risk of being caught, but still had no choice but to obey the boss's orders and embark uneasily into the night without returning. Lu, and finally died in pain, fear and helplessness.
It's too easy for Lucas to kill Momir. He only needs to send someone to leak the news deliberately, and the little guy can't run away... Maybe he found out the clues and wanted to silence him, or he just wanted to kill Momir. His death stimulated Gillan to obtain the whereabouts of the film.
In short, it is extremely cruel.
Bang!
The warehouse door was closed tightly, and Gilan locked it with his backhand.
He walked to the projector without saying a word, took out the silver cube and the black film reel, operated it for a while, sat on the floor, and raised his hand to flip the switch.
Click.
The shuttle turned and a beam of light hit the wall.
'Cheat me, frame me, kill Momir to stimulate me... OK, OK! ’
Gilan showed a ferocious expression and stared at the movie screen.
‘You—all deserve to die! ’
