"Sir, please, we've told you everything we should and shouldn't say. Now just treat us like a fart."
One of the thugs pleaded with a terrified look on his face.
However, what responded to them were words as cold and merciless as ice:
"Want to leave? Not so easy! You haven't told me where your den of thieves is hidden, and who is backing your mysterious boss?"
Lu Yu's eyes were as sharp as knives as he stared at the two trembling thugs in front of him.
A gangster hurriedly explained:
"My dear hero, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but we really don't know! That person has always been hiding and has never shown up!"
"Never showed up? Then how did you communicate with each other? Could it be that you relied entirely on telepathy?"
Lu Yu asked sarcastically with undisguised suspicion and contempt.
"Replying to Grandpa Haohan, if he has something to tell you, he will write a note and leave it at a predetermined location. And if we have something important to tell you, we will also leave a note at that designated location. Usually, every once in a while, we will go there to retrieve the note and check it."
The gangster quickly explained.
"Oh? That sounds quite interesting. But what if there's an emergency? Do we still have to communicate so slowly through notes?"
Lu Yu continued to ask.
The two thugs looked at each other, hesitated for a moment and said:
"If we encounter an extremely urgent matter, we will find an opportunity to place a stone or other similar object in front of the police station as a signal, asking him to quickly go to a fixed location to get information.
The reverse is also true. However, the specific location where he places the stones is not fixed, but most of the time he chooses places in the town where we often stay. "
After saying this, the two thugs quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Lu Yu's eyes.
"Don't you really know who's behind you?" Lu Yu stared at the two thugs in front of him with a sharp gaze and asked in a cold voice.
However, in the face of Lu Yu's questioning, the two still insisted that they did not know.
But Lu Yu keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the eyes of one of the thugs. His eyes were wandering and flickering, and it was obvious that he had something to hide.
Lu Yu thought to himself:
Could it be that this guy knows something inside, but is afraid to reveal it for some reason? Well, I'll offer him an offer.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu didn't say anything, suddenly raised his right foot, and kicked hard at the gangster who seemed to know nothing.
There was a dull thud, and the gangster flew out as if he had been hit hard, fell heavily to the ground, and fainted instantly.
After solving one problem, Lu Yu turned around and cast his gaze on the remaining gangster, saying in a cold tone:
"Okay, now that the person who was in the way has fallen, tell me who tipped you off. Don't tell me you didn't know. I already knew you knew that person."
Hearing this, the gangster laughed dryly, then showed a helpless and frightened expression on his face, and stammered:
"Brother, no, hero, actually...it's not that I don't want to say it in front of others. It's just that once I say it, the harm it will bring to me is too great.
Will they regard me as a traitor and never let me go? If that happens, not only will my life be in danger, but even my family will be implicated and will not end well. "
"I understand, that's why I kicked him unconscious just now. Now that things have come to this, what are you still worried about? Tell the truth quickly!" Lu Yu urged impatiently.
The second thug looked around and saw no movement. He then knelt down and crawled half a step forward, lowering his voice and saying mysteriously:
“I’m not sure about the details, but I happened to see it once, and the person who passed the message to us seemed to be the police station chief!
Moreover, I seriously suspect that the police station chief is a potential enemy spy!"
"Why do you suspect the police station chief?" Lu Yu was very curious.
The gangster took a deep breath, looked around again, and then began to tell about his personal experience:
"One time, a group of us were resting in that yard. I suddenly felt the urge to pee, so I went to a corner outside the yard. Just as I was about to relieve myself, I saw a tall man hurriedly walking towards me.
Seeing that he was acting suspiciously, I became wary and stopped urinating. I just huddled in a corner and lay motionless.
I saw the man walk to the gate of our yard, look around, and seeing that there was no one in the alley, he hurriedly put a brick as big as a fist at the door, and then hurried away.
Coincidentally, when he turned around, I saw his face. Although his face was hidden by his raised collar, I still remembered his image.
I knew I couldn't go up and acknowledge him, and I didn't even dare to tell anyone that I knew him.
You should know that since he chose to conceal it, he will not let anyone know about it. If they knew about it, the result would be death.
In our line of work, the more we know, the faster we die, and the death of one or two people is like the death of a chicken."
After a pause, the gangster continued:
"I didn't take it too seriously at first, but not long after, I ran into his familiar face again outside.
At that time, he was wearing a formal police uniform, and many people around him respectfully called him the director.
From that moment on, I became even more frightened. The more frightened I became, the more I paid attention to him and kept an eye on his whereabouts.
