Chapter 54 You insist on having your own way. Do you really think Yunlou can protect you?
On the streets of Jigu in the early morning, a group of people who need to worry about their livelihood have crawled out of their soft beds, washed up quickly, put a few coins in their pockets and went out to the streets.
For them, three meals a day is just a necessary step to fill their stomachs and maintain their vital signs. Taste? Experience?
Fresh words.
But this does not mean that you don’t care if the hot steamed bun in your hand is knocked away.
The poor man who lost his steamed bun was about to claim back the short-sighted boy, but he had already run away.
"Running so fast, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
He was muttering, when suddenly, a parabola passed over his head, and money enough to buy ten steamed buns fell on the stall.
The poor man turned around in shock, but the boy's shadow was gone.
It was not until this moment that he felt a sense of fear.
This speed...is it human?
Li Xiaogou only took one-third of the time it took him to leave to run back to Yuchi Deng's base. He had to get rid of Yuchi Deng before Du Tu's men came back.
On the way back, he chose the less traveled paths, and apart from the man whose steamed bun was knocked away by him, he did not cause any trouble.
He waited at the door for five minutes, knocked out a satiated man, put on his coat and face, and entered the garden openly.
There were several more bodyguards in the yard than yesterday, guarding the door. Their eyes fell on the drunk Li Xiaogou, but quickly retracted their gaze.
He stumbled all the way, unable to control his unsteady steps, and fell headfirst against the door.
It was quiet inside the door. Du Tu and the mysterious man in the suit had indeed left.
"Sir, which room are you from?"
The heavily made-up madam happened to see this and immediately got the upper hand and came over to say hello.
The smell of cheap perfume filled his nose, and Li Xiaogou slowly stood up from his prone position.
Since Dutu is not here, there is no need to pretend.
"handsome--"
The moment the madam stretched out her hand, Li Xiaogou also chopped out with his knife.
The smile froze on the woman's face. Li Xiaogou caught her expressionlessly and laid her flat on the ground.
At this time, the movement here had attracted the attention of the two bodyguards.
There are many ways to knock someone out, and the different ways can also reveal the character and experience of the person who does it.
Li Xiaogou is a calm, decisive and specially trained person.
After the two bodyguards made a quick judgment, one of them rushed towards Li Xiaogou, and the other ran to a room in the corner.
Li Xiaogou didn't look at the person rushing towards him. This action seemed to anger the other party. After being easily knocked to the ground by him, the man reached behind his waist.
These people have guns!
It's really lawless.
Li Xiaogou moved as fast as lightning. Just as the man's hand grasped the butt of the gun, his wrist was grabbed and then twisted inwards.
"ah--"
The groans and moans of pain filled the entire yard.
Li Xiaogou lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the man with a calm expression.
The man seemed to be frightened. He ignored the pain in his wrist and retreated backwards by rubbing his hips against the ground.
It's no longer enough to describe it as embarrassing.
This move made it convenient for Li Xiaogou, as the gun was pulled out without him having to exert much effort.
The long black handle circled leisurely between his bony fingertips, scaring the other bodyguard to death.
Snap——
Li Xiaogou gripped the gun handle, raised his hand, and aimed at the man.
The man also tried to pull out the gun, but as he was stared at by that calm gaze, his hands began to tremble.
The gaze was calm yet crazy, and one could smell the scent of danger even across the spacious courtyard.
In the few seconds that the man hesitated, Li Xiaogou had already shortened the distance between them.
Bang--
The metal shell hit the ground, and the shattered fragments brushed against the man's cheek, cutting his skin and leaving a deep bloody mark.
The next second, the scorching hot gun barrel filled with gunpowder gas was already against the temple.
The same scene happened again. Li Xiaogou pulled out the man's gun, turned it around twice, and then casually put it into his waist.
"Are you Yuchi Deng's confidants?"
"No, no. We were sent by the head of the family to look after the young master."
It seems that this is what Du Tu said. Letting Yuchi Deng's father "deal with" his son is really a full utilization of resources.
He couldn't help laughing, his eyebrows curved: "Where is Yuchi Dengren?"
"what you up to?"
Li Xiaogou did not answer, but just pushed the gun barrel forward.
"The master is in the room."
"Oh? So he's deaf? He can't even hear the loud noise outside. Or maybe, he's already dead without me having to do anything."
He doesn't have many supernatural powers left, and he wants to use them in the most critical situation, so he can only use this primitive interrogation method.
Fortunately, fear is a powerful weapon.
"The head of the family said that the young master had crossed the line and offended someone he shouldn't have offended, so he asked us to tie him up and put him in solitary confinement..."
Li Xiaogou found it funny that death and confinement had become equal.
"Get out of here." Li Xiaogou put away his gun. The man staggered back two steps, fell to the ground, and crawled away.
The wind blew, and the lanterns on the eaves swayed. There were people in these rooms, but no one dared to speak at this time.
Li Xiaogou didn't rush in. He stood under the eaves, took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "I came here today to kill Yuchi Deng and let him know that there is no distinction between high and low. If he whips others, others can whip him. He regards human life as worthless, so his life is also worthless."
"I know many of you have been abused by him before, but that's all in the past. Now, those who want to leave can leave now, and those who want to stay and watch Yuchi Deng's end can come out now."
"I promise, no one will make things difficult for you."
After saying what he was thinking, he didn't stop, opened the door behind him and walked in.
The room was dark and there was no light.
Li Xiaogou was a little surprised, but soon laughed.
It turns out that Yuchi Deng inherited this abnormal personality from his father.
The so-called solitary confinement does not mean being locked up in a room, but in a more narrow and cramped place.
Following the "wooooo" sound, Li Xiaogou stood by the cabinet door.
The cabinet is barely big enough to hold an adult man, and I don't know how Yuchi Deng was squeezed in.
Thinking about this, Li Xiaogou opened the cabinet.
puff.
He sprayed.
Yuchi Deng folded his legs over his chest, tied his hands behind his back, and lay in a "three-fold" position facing the wall.
“It’s quite soft.”
He was muttering when he heard footsteps behind him, more than one person.
The door was not closed tightly and was pushed open with little force, making a teeth-grinding creaking sound.
Li Xiaogou turned around and was not surprised to see several girls standing timidly by the door.
They all looked to be in their twenties, and long-term mental and physical abuse had left deep marks on their faces and expressions.
Li Xiaogou knew that they looked more mature than their actual age, and some of them might not even be adults.
He asked gently, "Where are his tools?"
"Under the bed."
Li Xiaogou nodded, walked to the bed, raised his hand to lift the bed board, raised his legs high, and then stomped on it to pieces.
Under the wooden board are a wide variety of eye-catching props.
He took out a whip from inside, half turned around, and made an inviting gesture to the girls behind him: "Choose one that suits you best."
The few of them didn't take any further action, and he didn't care.
People who live in fear for a long time are naturally cautious. It would be strange if they would do nothing just because of a few words from him.
He walked to the cabinet again, covered Yuchi Deng's eyes with a pillowcase, pulled the rope on his hand, and pulled him out of the cabinet.
This action caused the shoulder blades to bend completely backwards, but Yuchi Deng's mouth was blocked, so he could only make a howling sound.
“Hahahaha.”
Some of the girls laughed because the scene looked too much like dog training.
Li Xiaogou hung him up in the same way that Yuchi Deng hung the two girls. He moved his wrists twice and the whip hit the ground with a snapping sound that made people's skin tense.
He took two steps back and when he felt the distance was about right, he flicked his wrist and swung the whip.
The air was forcibly broken, hitting his body. Yuchi Deng was like a drowning fish, his back first caving in, then immediately bouncing up high. He tightly twisted his hands around the rope holding him, his whole body trembling, and the exposed skin quickly turned purple.
"It looks very cool." Li Xiaogou said leisurely without stopping, and another whip followed.
He whipped them one after another without blinking, his fair face like a jade Buddha, compassionate and indifferent.
Seeing this, the girl standing in the front finally took a step forward. She walked faster and faster, rushed to the broken bed board, and took out a candle from it.
With the first one, the rest of the people followed hesitantly, and soon, each of the girls who decided to stay had an extra thing in their hands.
Li Xiaogou politely stepped aside and let them perform.
He whipped Yuchi Deng 32 times, controlling the strength well so that he could feel the full pain and even fainting was a luxury.
When Wang Bo and Jiang Mu arrived, the scene before them made them both stop in their tracks.
"What are you doing!" Wang Bo opened his eyes wide with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, while Jiang Mu, who was standing next to him, was blushing so much that blood was about to drip out of his face.
"An eye for an eye." Li Xiaogou answered with a smile. He was in a good mood and spoke faster than usual.
Wang Bo walked forward curiously, walked around the miserable Yuchi Deng, and then pointed at the cactus that had broken Yuchi Deng's mouth and asked, "What is this?"
Jiang Mu covered his face.
"How are you going to end this?" Jiang Mu returned to the point, his brows furrowed tightly. "Just because Du Tu isn't here doesn't mean he's left Jigu. You've made such a big fuss, he'll be here soon."
Wang Bo also came over. His face darkened, and his delicate features were unusually serious. "If you want to force your way in, I'm on your side! Like you said, my dad is also the captain. He won't do anything to me."
Li Xiaogou's heart moved slightly, and a hint of warmth emerged.
Before the warmth could spread, he was punched in the chest. Wang Bo angrily said, "But what do you mean, kid? Are you treating us like Chinese people?"
Jiang Mu and Wang Bo rarely showed a united front: "You ran away without saying anything. It's your fault. We are teammates and should advance and retreat together."
"You think it's useless even if you bring the two of us?" Wang Bo was furious, and a light reddened on his smooth forehead. "But look at how big a mistake you made without the two of us!"
Li Xiaogou blinked slowly and asked sincerely: "What's wrong with me?"
"Do you understand? You should at least tie up those two thugs. They just let them get away. Luckily Jiang Mu and I ran into them and knocked them out and locked them up for you. No thanks."
This time it was Li Xiaogou's turn to hold his forehead.
"Is there a possibility... that I did it on purpose?"
Wang Bo's voice stopped abruptly, and Jiang Mu looked over in confusion.
Li Xiaogou sighed slightly. His two teammates were born with bad intentions.
"I'm not worried about Du Tu causing trouble for me. What I want is to bring Yuchi back to Daxia for trial. In Heguo, the Yuchi family will protect him, but in Daxia, if everyone in Daxia knows what he did..."
"Are you trying to use public opinion?" Jiang Mu's eyes lit up.
"Yeah. I let those two go because I wanted to make a bigger noise. First, this matter needs to be known to everyone in Jigu."
Li Xiaogou already had a complete plan and was not acting solely out of loyalty as they worried.
Jiang Mu might not have thought of this plan, but the plan was in front of him, and he could help improve the implementation method.
His pale eyes turned to the girls who were still beating up Yuchi Deng. "With them, Mo Shang, and the two bodyguards, how about we do a live broadcast?"
*
When Du Tu arrived, Yuchi Deng was only breathing his last.
Except for Li Xiaogou, Wang Bo and Jiang Mu, everyone else at the scene left.
Yuchi Deng lay dying on the hood of the black car in the yard. His clothes had been torn into rags, and the uncovered areas were covered in bloodstains.
The whip that caused all this was still in Li Xiaogou's hands.
Du Tu's brows knitted tightly together, and he said in a bad tone, "You insist on having your own way. Do you really think Yunlou can protect you?"
Li Xiaogou threw away the whip and stretched out his hands together: "I did it, I was wrong, catch me."
Du Tu narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
He understood Li Xiaogou's intention. He couldn't possibly leave the Special Investigation Bureau agent in the country to stand trial, but if he brought Li Xiaogou back to Daxia, then Yuchi Deng, who was involved in the case, should also be brought back.
It’s a good plan.
"Yuchi stays here, you come back with me. No outsiders will know what happened here. We will conduct an internal investigation."
Li Xiaogou's face was slightly tense. Du Tu signaled, and the man who followed Li Xiaogou stepped forward and handcuffed Li Xiaogou.
At this time, Li Xiaogou raised his eyes, his dark pupils flashed with a strange light, his shoulders were stretched, and he was in a very relaxed state.
Du Tu's brows slowly gathered together again.
Li Xiaogou's eyebrows gradually curved, and he smiled and said, "Sorry, you're a little late. The whole of Daxia already knows about what happened here."
He stared at Du Tu's face full of wrinkles. Every wrinkle concealed accidents and human feelings. The corners of his lips were slightly pursed downwards. Li Xiaogou's tone was not intense, on the contrary, it was very light.
"You misunderstood. The biggest difference between Captain Yun and you is that he won't protect anyone indiscriminately."
"This time, what stands behind us is justice, fairness, and every single person in Daxia."
Li Xiaogou saw Du Tu's fingertips tremble slightly, a tiny arc, but Du Tu quickly suppressed the emotion and said in a cold tone, "Perhaps public opinion can help you, but the Special Investigation Bureau has its own rules and regulations. Your mission is to investigate the list of puppeteers. Now, you have seriously exceeded your authority."
Du Tu's scrutinizing gaze fell heavily on his shoulder. He smiled softly and raised half an eyebrow: "Captain Du, who said this matter has nothing to do with the puppeteer?"
