Chapter 41
The situation was urgent, and Tisa drove a military card, took Xu Xu and more than 20 soldiers, and rushed there.
The sky was already bright, and the morning light made the whole street shady. From a distance, you could see the smoke and shadows. Many windows along the street were wide open, and residents looked out.
When I arrived in front of the supermarket, the fire was almost out. The white and spacious shops in the past were now gray, black and damaged, smoke and dust filled the ground with dumped goods and glass fragments.
There is still no signal on the phone. The phone signal remotely has occurred before, so as soon as the explosion occurred, the military cut off the communication network to prevent the explosion from happening again. I don’t know when the signal will be restored.
Other criminal police officers did not show up. They all have surveillance tasks today and cannot escape at any time. Perhaps they will not act rashly. In addition, the communication is not communicated, so it will take time to contact us.
Xu Xu and Tisa can only rely on themselves for the time being.
Tisa nodded a group of soldiers, whispered to them, and patted everyone on the shoulder. The soldiers nodded, turned around and rushed into the supermarket. The crowd saw this posture and the discussion became even more lively.
Xu Xu stood alone in the middle of the road. More than ten meters in front of him was a messy supermarket, with noisy people behind him, and cars coming and going at the intersection not far away from him... All the complicated pictures and sounds seemed to pour into her mind at the same time.
The first thing she noticed was Ji Bai's car parked on the road opposite the supermarket. This made her heart beat, and she immediately took a deep breath and calmed down and continued to search.
There was no blood around the supermarket, nor any other suspicious signs. She walked around the back alley again and was slightly surprised that the back door of the supermarket was half-closed. There was a fight here, and there were mottled blood on the ground and the walls.
When Xu Xu returned to the road, the soldiers had thoroughly investigated that there was no one in the supermarket, no injured or corpses. This made Xu Xu and Tisa breathed a little relieved, but their hearts were still hanging tightly.
The soldiers began to question passers-by to see if they could find witnesses.
The supermarket is located in a downtown area with a dense population and soon has clues.
When the explosion occurred, a cleaner happened to be cleaning near the back alley of the supermarket. He said: "I saw someone fighting in the alley. Seven or eight people, holding iron sticks, beat two men."
This confirmed Xu Xu's speculation. She took out her cell phone, took out Ji Bai's photo, and took out Zhou Chengbo's photo from the information bag for him to show.
"Yes, they were the ones who were beaten, and they were all hung up. I was afraid of causing trouble, so I went to sweep the street opposite first. After a while, I heard the explosion. I looked here and saw the latte sticks, dragging two people covered in blood, and getting into a van."
The cleaning workers remembered the license plate number. Soon, the soldiers discovered the van in the back alley of a casino two streets away.
Tisa and Xu Xu were sitting in a small car on the street. Through the telescope, they saw two strong men guarding the back door of the casino, while the van door and the ground were still vaguely left with blood.
This casino is also one of the main strongholds of Lu Ge Group.
Tisa looked at Xu Xu: "My people can't go in, they can only wait for your people to come."
The gambling industry is legal in Maiza City. In order to attract investment to the greatest extent and eliminate the doubts of investors, the commander-in-chief promised the Chamber of Commerce that Kachin soldiers would never enter the casino unless they were ordered to enforce the law. Now, the formal arrest order has not been issued, so Tisa cannot enter.
The sun was already very big, and the gray concrete floor seemed to be emitting a hint of heat. Xu Xu looked at the casino gate, where many people were in and out, with noisy music and flashing neon lights showing a kind of impetuous prosperity in broad daylight.
"Can't wait. I'll go in and look for him."
You really can't wait.
The cleaning worker did not see clearly the faces of the two people being dragged away. It may not be Ji Bai, but it may also be him.
Xu Xu was almost certain that Ji Bai avoided the bomb, and seven or eight thugs should not be his opponents.
However, today there is another Zhou Chengbo around him to protect him. Moreover, he has no guns. This is not the mainland. The core members of the gang here almost fire one shot.
If the person who showed up today was a big boss like Brother Lu, Xu Xu would not have gone in. Because Brother Lu would never touch a policeman easily.
But it was those minions. They were arrogant and arrogant, with immature minds, and were more likely to commit stupid and cruel crimes.
It may only take more than ten minutes to wait for reinforcements, but the price may be that Ji Bai suffered all the torture, or even his life, how could she let this happen?
Amid the shocked gaze of Tisa and the soldiers, Xu Xu took out his hat and sunglasses from his bag and put them on it. He drank another sip of water, pushed open the car door, and walked into the casino gate guarded by several thugs without looking back.
Xu Xu guessed correctly, Ji Bai did avoid the bomb.
At that time, Zhou Chengbo was about to unpack the package, but Ji Bai stopped him: "Don't touch it."
Zhou Chengbo looked at his solemn expression and understood. But for him, bombs, it only happened in a TV series, and he was shocked and sweated: "No way... what should I do? Throw it out?"
Ji Bai shook his head: "You can't touch it." He glanced at the postman who was walking out of the supermarket gate and whispered: "Let's go through the back door."
When he slowly pushed open the quiet iron-gray door, Ji Bai asked Zhou Chengbo to stand behind him, and he stood sideways by the door. As expected, as soon as the door opened, a black iron rod hit the air. Ji Bai's eyes were clear and his hands were quick, and he grabbed the man's arm and broke his backhand with a "click" sound. The man exclaimed in pain. Ji Bai grabbed his head and hit the wall, his head was bleeding and fainted.
At the critical moment of life and death, Ji Bai was full of ruthless hands. Another person waved his knife and was knocked down by him in an instant.
Zhou Chengbo shouted: "Go to my car"
"No," how could I know that the package is not a cover, and the real bomb may be waiting in the car of the two of them? Ji Bai looked around for a week and yelled in a low voice: "Follow me"
As soon as the two of them ran a few steps, they saw seven or eight big men standing at the entrance of the alley holding iron rods and machetes. They probably didn't expect the two of them to run out so soon, and the people were stunned. The leader immediately reached out and pulled the gun from their waists... Ji Baijun's face was tense, his eyes were fierce, and he shouted loudly: The "police" voice was so thick and fierce that everyone was shocked.
The man was also shocked. With this skill of distracting spirit, Ji Bai had already bullied him, grabbed his wrist, grabbed the gun with his bare hands, and kicked him in the kneecap.
Seeing this, the other people greeted Ji Bai all over, and Ji Bai was immediately covered in color. Zhou Chengbo behind him was furious by this scene and twisted a big man to fight.
Xu Xu did not expect that what the cleaning workers did not see was that Ji Bai and Zhou Chengbo finally repelled the gang of gangs and escaped from the alley. The two gangsters who were injured by bombs and were finally dragged away by their companions were the two gangsters who were knocked down by Ji Bai at the back door.
Ji Bai took Zhou Chengbo to travel two streets before he took a taxi and went straight to the hotel where the task force was staying. Only then did Ji Bai realize that Xu Xu and Tisa were going out to find him.
When he found the street where the casino was located, the other two detectives had just arrived, and Tisa looked at him with a ugly face: "Ji, Xu insisted on going in and looking for you, it's been ten minutes..."
Xu Xu walked into the casino and went to the counter to change a bunch of chips. When the counter manager saw her a little girl, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times. Xu Xu smiled and waved his cell phone: "There is no signal. My mother will come later. Can you bring her in to find me? She is wearing a white top, a red skirt, and an LV bag, which is easy to recognize."
The manager immediately smiled: "No problem."
Xu Xu first played two dices, and then his eyes fell on a young security guard around the table. The other security guards looked fierce, with lazy eyes indifferent or expressionless. He only smiled from time to time, was quite energetic, and his security uniform was brand new.
"Brother, can you buy me a bottle of black tea?" Xu Xu handed him a chip. The chip was 100 yuan. The security guard was of course happy to think that she was a wealthy girl who was generous.
Soon he bought the water back, Xu Xu stopped gambling, sat next to rest, and asked him again: "Are you from Shandong? We are fellow villagers."
The man showed surprise when he heard her accent.
After a while, Xu Xu said, "Brother Ah Zhi, where is the bathroom?"
Azhi said: "I'll take you there."
Xu Xu thought for a while and said, "No. My mother will come later. Please let her wait for me here. Your manager knows her." After that, he waved to the manager behind the counter. When the manager saw it, he also waved to the little girl with a smile.
Azhi thought that you knew the manager, nodded and told her whereabouts. After a while, he said to the security guard next to him: "This is my fellow villager and the manager's friend."
Xu Xu stayed in the bathroom for a while, then pushed the door open and went out. Instead of going back to the business hall, he turned into the office area behind.
It was not aimless that she dared to come in alone.
First, she looks young and does not attract attention; second, she is responsible for logistics these days and has long remembered the floor plan of each casino well. There is usually a "reception room" behind the casino to deal with customers who cannot pay off gambling debts. If Ji Bai is caught, he will probably be locked up there.
As long as you find him, she can save him.
In the corridor leading to the "reception room", a thug was guarding her and stopped her when she saw her frown and said, "You can't pass here."
Xu Xu paused slightly, lowered his head, and his voice trembled a little: "I'm here to pay off the gambling debt. I just asked a gentleman named Azhi at the door. He said he didn't know, so he asked me to come in and find the boss."
The thug was stunned: "Whose gambling debt?"
Xu Xu replied: "My brother is Chen Yang. A few days ago, I received a call and said that I owe 'Da Fuhua' 200,000 yuan, so I came to give the money..." After that, he took out a bank card from his pocket.
The thug was stunned again. "Da Fuhua" is the name of another casino. It is several streets away. This one is called "Da Fuhua". The name of the casino is for a good start, and there are rich people and rich people in Maizayang Fuhua. He thought this little girl must have heard the name of the casino wrongly, 200,000 yuan...
The thug took her to a small office and poured her a cup of tea: "You wait here, I'll go find the boss."
As soon as his figure disappeared on the stairs at the end of the corridor, Xu Xu gently pushed the door and followed him. The corridor was very quiet. She found two drops of blood on the wall with sharp eyes, and her heart trembled.
Finally, I arrived at the door of the "reception room", and a crack was opened, and a man's curses and moans came faintly.
Xu Xu took a deep breath and pushed open the door with force.
The door was wide open, and Xu Xu looked at each other with several men standing in the house.
She quickly glanced at the two bloody strange men on the bed.
"Uh...Uncle, where is the toilet? Azhi said he is here."
Several men stared at her silently, and one of them raised his hand and pointed to the other end of the corridor.
"Thank you" Xu Xu brought them with embarrassment, turned around and walked out quickly.
That's great, not Ji Bai. Not Ji Bai.
A big rock that was pressing on her heart suddenly dropped, and a warm feeling seemed to flow through her whole body.
It was about to reach the end of the corridor, and you could reach the business hall with just a turn. Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps and shouts came from behind: "Oh, don't leave"
Xu Xu's steps froze and turned around.
It was when I went to inform the boss of the thug before. He looked at Xu Xu suspiciously: "Where are you going? The boss said he wanted you to go up."
Xu Xu glanced at him and said timidly: "I'm sorry, I'm wrong. I just saw in your office that you are 'Big Rich Man' and there was no signal on your phone. I used your landline and called Da Fuhua. They said they would send a car outside to pick me up. Sorry, I've disturbed me, thank you."
The thug was stunned again. The boss meant to collect the money first. Who knows who else? But this little girl actually called Dafuhua. Dafuhua was run by another force and now she has to come to pick up people. Everyone is not in trouble, so how can they swallow the money...
When he was stunned, Xu Xu bowed to him with gratitude again. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw the door of the reception room push open and several men walked out.
Listening to the men talking in a low voice with the thugs, Xu Xu walked faster.
"What's going on with you later?" someone shouted.
Xu Xu's back was covered with cold sweat, and his legs were a little stiff.
She had already walked to the corner, there were no lights here, the light was dark, the door leading to the business hall was closed, and the noisy voices on the other end came faintly. It was a short distance, but it seemed like the mountains and seas across the clouds.
Should I run or continue to cheat?
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from the slant and grabbed her wrist firmly. A tall figure flashed from the shadow. Ji Bai's handsome face was as blue and tense, and his dark eyes were like thick ink that could not be dissolved. He looked at her deeply, led her around and left.
Xu Xu was confused and let him lead him forward. The hand that was already a little chill seemed to become hot in his warm and powerful palm. The vicious people behind him instantly became unfair and worth mentioning. She actually relaxed her whole body.
In the bright and dark light and shadow, his side face was firm and silent, his figure was as tall as a mountain, and every step he took seemed to step on her heart. An indescribable throbbing slowly spread in her heart, spreading into the blood vessels of the torso and limbs. Her heart was beating in a mess.
Several men in the corridor fought with Ji Bai, but they were shocked when they saw him. Someone cursed "Fuck" and wanted to rush over.
Ji Bai turned around coldly and looked at them with extreme contempt.
It seemed as if he was forced by his momentum, or if he was beaten too badly during the day, the few people froze for a moment and no one came forward.
