Chapter 142: A Small Town, Creating a Legend
The sudden gunshot frightened the motorcycle gang, and they immediately squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. The bullets grazed their scalps, and dust flew up.
"Oh shit! He shot me!!"
"It's a submachine gun!!"
"Don't hit me! I'm innocent!"
"I think I was shot! Aa ...
Everyone ran away in panic, and the scene became chaotic in an instant.
After a round of sweeping fire, the walls of the abandoned gas station were full of holes. Zhang Ailun stopped shooting and blew away the smoke from the muzzle of the gun.
Looking at the yellow-haired man who was sitting on the ground and had peed himself in fear, he asked with a smile: "What did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly. Sorry, I think I accidentally broke your gun? Please say it again."
"I was wrong! Please don't kill me!" said the yellow-haired man tremblingly.
The moment the gun was fired, his ears were numbed, the pistol was blown away by the bullet, the skin on his palm was scratched, and bleeding profusely.
"Then get out of my sight right now. Leave your cell phones and communication devices behind, and don't ride your bikes!" Zhang Ailun waved the muzzle of his gun, and it seemed that he didn't control the aim well. He couldn't hold the gun down at such a close distance? Fortunately, he didn't blow his head off.
Next, Pi Ding paid attention.
"I don't want to kill anyone today."
Hearing these words, the bikers felt a chill down their spines and their hair stand on end.
He quickly got up from the ground, threw his wallet and mobile phone on the ground, turned around and ran without looking back, and even lost his shoes.
I was afraid that if I ran too slowly I would be beaten with holes all over my body!
Sig got out of the car and took a look at the scene. He looked at the holes all over the wall and the bloodstains on the ground and was a little puzzled. "This is not easy to deal with."
"If you can't handle it, then don't handle it. There's nothing to worry about. No one will call the police, and the police won't come to such a remote place to check. This kind of thing is not common in the city, but it happens too often in the suburbs! These guys are not good people, and they certainly won't call the police to deliver themselves to their doorsteps."
Zhang Ailun checked the three motorcycles. They were all old vehicles. He didn't know how many times they had been owned. They were just okay in appearance. The tires were also extremely worn. The market value might be around a few hundred dollars?
"Received."
I didn't expect there would be any extra gains.
These guys are simply the money-giving boys in the jungle, and they are monsters that just happened to refresh.
Sig and Zhang Ailan moved the motorcycle to the off-road vehicle, picked up the wallet and counted it. There was about $500. Not bad, some profit!
The gun was really broken, of no value, and even disassembling it was very troublesome. Sig simply removed the magazine, found a random place, wiped the fingerprints, and threw it far into the deep forest! Destroy the body and eliminate all traces.
After returning, Zhang Ailun had already started searching for abandoned oil pipes, and Sig also helped to search. After some time, they finally found the cash wrapped in plastic film and oil paper bags in the abandoned oil pipes filled with paper shells. There was also a Glock 17 ghost rifle with a full magazine.
The guns were left to Sig to handle.
Zhang Ailun took the money, opened the oil paper bag and counted the amount. Not a dollar was missing, and he felt refreshed.
"With the $500 in cash, that's a total of $5000 in paper money, plus the three old motorcycles. Even if each motorcycle is only worth $400, it's still a lot of money."
Zhang Ailun was in a good mood after inheriting Lao Hei's inheritance.
After getting in the car and locating the coordinates, the two set off for the next target location.
"Aren't you sleepy again?"
Along the way, Zhang Ailan didn't seem to want to rest, and Sig asked in surprise.
"I'm in a very hot mood." Zhang Ailun smiled calmly and simply played another passionate rap music.
Listen to the restless rap and feel the beautiful scenery.
The vehicle drove into the fork in the road and headed towards the county town in the countryside. It took more than 20 minutes to arrive at the coordinate location, which was an ordinary rural town.
After parking the Wrangler on the side of the road, Zhang Ailun began to look for the dilapidated cabins one by one according to the intelligence. The residents of the town also noticed the two outsiders. Their clothes and the Jeep they drove showed that they were from the city, but they didn't pay too much attention to them.
The town is small, but it creates myths.
Zhang Ailun and Sig soon saw stone tablets from the Civil War in the town, which recorded a battle, a tragic love story, the exact time and place, and even a theme park.
But after Sig searched, he found that there was no relevant record in history and it was a fabricated story.
The mayor has lost all his shame in order to make money. He keeps promoting love stories, and some foreign tourists are willing to buy into it.
On the battlefield, if you are not careful, your head will be smashed by the enemy. Do you still have the mind to fall in love?
Sig sneered, "The bullets in the guns on the battlefield are reserved for the enemy. This woman will definitely have a miserable end after being captured. How can she be treated well and have any feelings for the officer?"
"In modern armies, bullets in the crotch are reserved for teammates," Zhang Ailun elaborated.
"..."
Sig suddenly felt powerless to refute.
The two of them walked and stopped, and it took them about ten minutes to almost finish touring the town. Finally, guided by the sign, they found the detached wooden house, which was located on the edge of the town.
"Is there anyone living in this house?" Sig noticed the doghouse in the yard.
"It should be our black friend who occasionally takes time to come back here. Don't you see that the windows are leaking and the yard is covered with moss? How could anyone live in this damn place?"
Zhang Ailun looked at this house that looked like a haunted house. Its decoration style was also that of a log cabin from the last century. It was the kind that people wouldn't want even if it was given for free. Shooting a horror movie here at night would definitely create a very nice atmosphere. It was also hard to imagine who would live here.
After asking Sig to keep watch outside, Zhang Ailun came to the door of the shabby cabin and knocked, but no one answered.
I just went ahead and climbed in through the window.
As soon as I entered the house, the wooden planks under my feet made a miserable creaking sound and started to crack.
Zhang Ailun looked at the interior decoration and facilities. The ceiling was about to collapse, and the walls were covered with moss. It felt cool as if the air conditioner was on. If you didn't tell him, you would have thought he had come to a horror-themed cabin.
I didn't dare to explore further, so I searched carefully and pried open the floor, and found a USB flash drive and a notebook wrapped in a plastic bag.
Zhang Ailun opened the notebook and took a look. There were detailed dates and project lists, which were the kind that could be punishable by death. He didn't know if those gang members would come here to search.
As for the USB flash drive containing the video of the adulterous transaction, Zhang Ailun chose to keep it and watch it slowly later.
Just as I was about to leave, Sig's voice came from outside, "Hey! Hello! Girl! Is this your dog? Look at it! It looks so majestic!"
The dogs were barking constantly and yowling in a panic.
At the same time, the girl's questioning voice was heard, "Who are you? What are you doing at my doorstep?"
Suffered.
Zhang Ailun immediately stuck his head out to look. "Your door? Oh, sorry, I didn't know this place was still inhabited. I thought the family had moved out a long time ago. I didn't do anything. I'm just a tourist visiting here." Sig was also very good at responding to situations.
"It'd be better! If you were really a tourist, you should go to the theme park next door instead of sneaking around a cabin." said the girl.
Zhang Ailun looked at the girl in a floral dress, blonde and blue-eyed, holding a Rottweiler with well-developed limbs. No wonder Sig was so nervous.
Is this her home? Isn't this Lao Hei's?
The Rottweiler sniffed around, seemed to smell a stranger, and immediately began barking at the cabin again.
Silly dog! What's your name?
Zhang Ailun saw the dog's ferocious face through the window.
The girl tightened the leash in her hand and yelled, "Shut up! Jason! Stop barking."
Who? Jason?
Is that you Jason?
Seeing that the girl couldn't hold the dog leash, Zhang Ailun hesitated for a few seconds, then simply kicked the door open and took out the gun, "Hey! Girl, shut up your dog!"
"WTF!!" The girl was shocked when she saw the Glock pistol in Zhang Ailun's hand. "Why are you in my house? Who are you?"
"We are from the Los Angeles Police Department, and we are here to investigate a man named El Martin. Do you know him?" Zhang Ailun was quick-witted and turned the tables, pulling out his CCW ID and flashing it over.
"Who? I don't know him." The girl became nervous instantly.
Sig and Zhang Allen looked at each other and realized that something must be wrong. Sig immediately said in a deep voice: "You'd better not hide it. This should also be El Martin's house. We have collected evidence related to him here!"
"This is my house, not El Martin Road," the girl said.
"Really?" Zhang Ailun said in a serious tone.
"Well, El Martin and Houston Martin should be the same person. If you are talking about the generous black man, I do know him because he is my sex buddy." The girl confessed quickly.
She said nonchalantly, "We met online. He drove to meet me. We had a couple of drinks and got along. Then we had sex. But other than that, we don't have any friendship."
"Not necessarily."
Zhang Ailun didn't expect there was this layer of relationship involved. This old black man was quite extravagant. He drove all the way from the city to the countryside to pick up girls?
But this white girl was also very beautiful, with a pure and innocent face, a bit like an old friend who lived in the South Side of Chicago.
A must-do in the South District, is that you, Karen?
I was really fooled by that old black guy.
Zhang Ailun directly took out the clues he had found, "How dare you say you don't know these things? These were all found in your home!"
"Shit! You can find this?" The girl panicked and couldn't hide her tracks. She blew herself up on the spot. "Did Martin confess and get arrested? Isn't he a gang member? I won't go to jail too, will I?"
"It depends on your performance."
Zhang Ailun replied casually: "He didn't plead guilty, he went to see God! He was shot 96 times by gang members. You'd better keep your mouth shut about this matter and pretend that nothing happened. Since you are a first-time offender and a minor, let's forget it this time."
"I'm not a minor, I'm 19!" the girl retorted.
Then he said with some hesitation: "Then I will play with you two for a while, and you just pretend that nothing happened and don't notify the police to arrest me, okay?"
"..." Zhang Ailun felt a little numb for a moment.
Not you...
Sig looked at her carefully and said, "Miss, have you ever been to school? Do you know what will happen if you bribe a police officer through illegal acts? You are committing a crime!"
"What will happen? No safety measures? Using a backdoor? I can't accept this!!"
"I stole something from a convenience store before, and the owner caught me and reported it to the police in town. He wanted to arrest me, but I went home with them and played for a day, and he let me go." The girl answered frankly.
"..."
Shocked Sig for a whole year.
How come I can’t come across such a good thing… Bah!
Now I have encountered it, but even though I am not a police officer, I am still a veteran!
Sig reprimanded her strictly and tried to correct the girl's wrong thoughts, but the girl behaved unreasonably and looked at him with contempt.
He mocked, "You're not capable, are you? Why are you pretending? Have you never played with a woman before? We are all adults, can't we be honest? What qualifications do you have to say that to me? This is my freedom!!"
"..." Sig was speechless. Okay, okay, it can be seen that you are indeed living a free life.
I was furious. Damn it!
Zhang Ailun said, "Okay, this matter ends here. Hold on to your dog, girl. We have done our business and will leave soon. Don't tell anyone what happened here, otherwise you will definitely be charged and go to jail."
"What if those gang members come to retaliate against me? No, you must guarantee my personal safety. Aren't you police officers? If you don't sleep with me, you definitely won't help me! I don't have money to bribe you."
The girl blocked the way and said stubbornly.
“They don’t have that chance.”
Zhang Ailun also felt a bit of a headache, "We are a formal institution!"
What kind of logic is this in your head? Why do you think that if someone plays tricks on you, you should help them? It seems like you have never met a scumbag.
"Martin would sleep with me every time he came and also give me some money to help me hide the stolen money and goods. This was part of the deal! Don't worry, I'm not sick because I have a boyfriend and we're getting married next month." said the girl.
No, you have a boyfriend?
What kind of town is this? Love town? I think it’s a riot town! This is totally out of the realm of possibility, folks!
God knows how Zhang Ailan and Xige left in the end.
Anyway, the chief leader is really overwhelmed.
"Although I know that country girls are very open-minded and can be seduced by you as long as you are handsome and say a few nice words, I didn't expect them to be so open-minded."
Xige complained: "I will never come to this crappy place again, Los Angeles is still better!"
Zhang Ailun tightened his belt, a little speechless, "So why did I have to make the sacrifice in the end? I'm so exhausted! Man!!"
"When I was listening outside, I felt that she was very happy? You are happy too."
Sig retorted, "She also said she didn't want to get married and wanted to be with you."
"She's happy, but I'm dying."
Zhang Ailun took a deep breath, got in the car, fastened his seat belt, and said, "Go!"
"Ok." Sig started the car and drove away from this horrible town with a single step on the accelerator.
