Chapter 69 Search
Cheng Zitong was very happy to hear what Chen Chuan said. He said, "Yes, that's why I say that you, my student, are a natural born experiential learner!"
Chen Chuan smiled and continued to look through the information in his hand.
Cheng Zitong seemed a little thirsty at this time. He took a sip of the water on the table and pointed at the information. He said, "The client's requirement is to capture a well baby. The reward is relatively high, there is no competition, and there is no danger. While there is still time, you can try your hand at this."
Chen Chuan thought to himself, "It seems there are more than one of these things, and I don't know if it's really the legendary thing, but I'll know when I see it."
He was indeed very interested in this kind of thing.
Although this matter can only be carried out at night, it is necessary to check the scene during the day. After all, this information is from a few years ago, and it is hard to say whether it is still the same now. He needs to confirm it himself.
Because tomorrow was a day off, after making the decision, he spent the night in the dormitory thinking about what to prepare and the specific plan, and trained a little. When the time was almost up, he went to bed.
The next day, he went back to his aunt's house, borrowed a young and powerful watch from his aunt, took the bicycle that was left there, went out to buy some tools, and rode all the way to the north of the city.
After riding for about three-quarters of an hour, we arrived at the old town area in the north city.
In fact, he was not unfamiliar with this place, because his predecessor's parents' house in the suburbs was further north from here, and his predecessor also lost his life there.
Because he didn't know what caused his predecessor's death, he never went there again to avoid unnecessary danger.
There are many old houses in this area, some of which are more than sixty years old and have existed before the establishment of the Dashun Republic, almost a hundred years ago. In fact, this area was the old Yangzhi Town. After the great development, the new Yangzhi City was established as a material transfer center.
The area from the northwest to the suburbs of Yangzhi City, including villages and towns such as Zhangshan in the north, is the territory of the Iron Chain Gang, while the Blood Scar Gang's sphere of influence is mostly in the prosperous areas of the city. The area north of the city belongs to the middle zone, which is home to dozens of gangs of all sizes. The people here are also relatively conservative and incompatible with people in other urban areas.
Considering the complicated situation here and that he had to stay until night, he took the police bag with him. In a place like this, the identity of Wu Yi student was not necessarily more useful than having a connection with the police.
He followed the map, compared the reference landmarks and the corresponding dates, and successfully found the well that the doll in the well might have passed through last night. However, when he got there, he found that it was already a dry well.
In this case, since the doll in the well will only appear in old wells with water, it definitely cannot appear here. Then it may have appeared in another nearby well last night. In that case, all locations have to be moved back. So I rode my bike away from here and decided to look for it in the next old well.
But not long after he left, three or four people dressed as gang members came out of the house. One of the younger brothers asked, "Brother Tian, is this guy sent by the police?"
Brother Tian said angrily: "You have such a big bag on you, do you think I didn't see it?"
"What should we do? Those Greyhounds from the police station have very sharp noses. Tonight's deal..."
Brother Tian said impatiently: "What else can we do? We've already agreed on it. There's no way to cancel it. We can only move to another place. Go and take care of it. Try to go early to avoid any trouble. Also, call more brothers so that we can handle anything."
"Okay, Brother Tian."
Chen Chuan went to the back to look for it. Fortunately, according to the blueprint, this well was very close to the previous one. Sure enough, he found another one after walking more than 300 meters, and it was still usable. After confirming this place, the next well might be the place where the doll in the well appeared tonight.
So he rode eastward for about half a mile and found a well with a larger fence.
This is a large open space with traces of years of washing. It is surrounded by residential houses and has two alleys for entry and exit. It should be shared by many families. There is a pulley on the well with a bucket tied to it. It looks like someone uses it often, which makes it convenient for him to get water.
After looking at the terrain and thinking about it, he decided to give it a try tonight. If it didn't work, he would have to think of a way tomorrow. After making up his mind, he rode his bike away and found a nearby boxing gym, where he would train and kill time.
At night, the most troublesome thing here is the various gangs. Most shops will close early, and only the boxing gym will continue to operate and hold some boxing matches that gang members will participate in openly or secretly. This is enough time for him to stay until the right time.
He stayed here until about 8:30 in the evening. Seeing that it was almost time, he left the boxing gym. As soon as he got outside, the hustle and bustle of the gym disappeared. The street was quiet, with only branches with dead leaves hanging on both sides of the street, swaying in the wind. The street lights below were still on, but there were almost no pedestrians.
He straightened the brim of his hat, took his bike, and rode towards the wellhead.
Five or six minutes later, he approached the alley where the well was located. There was only a lonely street lamp nearby. But at this moment, he suddenly saw a man walking towards him from the opposite side of the street.
The man looked strong, with a mask on his face and a baseball cap on his head. He was walking very fast, but when he saw him coming from the other side of the street, he seemed to notice his shoulder bag, but he paused slightly, pressed down his hat, and hurried to the fork in the road on the other side.
Just by looking at his footsteps and body shape, Chen Chuan knew that this man was trained, maybe a gang member, but that had nothing to do with him. He got out of the car and pushed it into the alley. Because the light inside was not very bright, he also took out a flashlight to light the way.
But he had only walked a short distance when his pace slowed down because he saw that at the entrance of the open space around the well in the alley, there were seven or eight fierce men standing. Each of them had a cigarette in his mouth and held sticks and daggers in his hands. Some of them were shining flashlights directly at him, and he squinted his eyes slightly.
"Brother Tian, this guy is here during the day too!"
Brother Tian said angrily, "Boy, I knew there was something wrong with you during the day. I hid here, but I still couldn't avoid you. I didn't want to do anything, but you kept haunting me. You can only blame your bad luck!"
Chen Chuan sighed softly and said, "It's hard to say who is unlucky."
Brother Tian roared, "Come on!"
Chen Chuan gently pushed the bicycle to the wall, took off his hat, threw it into the basket, and walked forward quickly, moving his shoulders and wrists while walking.
A stick came towards him from the opposite side. He tilted his head slightly to the side and hit the opponent's chest with his back palm. He didn't seem to use much strength, but the man flew backwards and knocked down several people behind him.
At this time, he also walked out of the alley. A man hiding nearby stabbed him in the waist with a dagger. Chen Chuan just turned around and stepped on his shin. With a click, the man fell to the ground and rolled around, holding his twisted leg and screaming.
Another man came from behind with a stick. He turned around, raised his hand, grabbed the stick lightly, and pressed it down, hitting the man in the chest. The stick broke with a snap, and the man fell to the ground sideways, holding his chest. His face was full of pain, but he couldn't make a sound.
The remaining gang members all stopped and became afraid to move forward. Are you kidding? They look like good fighters. Are they going to get beaten?
Seeing that no one dared to move, Brother Tian was in a dilemma. Finally, he gritted his teeth, raised the machete in his hand, rushed forward and chopped off Chen Chuan's head.
But before he could bring down the knife, he felt a black screen before his eyes and knew nothing.
The gang members saw their boss just rushing forward when he was kicked in the head by Chen Chuan. He flew out and rolled on the ground without a sound.
Now no one dared to stay any longer. They threw away the things in their hands, not caring about their boss, and turned around and ran out of an alley.
Chen Chuan ignored them. He had already wasted a lot of time and couldn't delay any longer.
He walked to the edge of the well, took the handle of the windlass and turned it, but as soon as he turned it, he found that the feel was not right, as if the weight at the bottom was a little light. He thought about it and continued to shake it upwards. When the bucket reached the top, he found that there were several sealed plastic bags stuffed inside. When he touched them, they seemed to be box-shaped objects.
He thought about it, these... are all medicines?
