It has to be said that Major Holland is an active-duty officer after all, and his reaction speed is indeed faster than that of the pampered Chief Secretary of the Counsel, Mr. Brown.
He fell to the ground and rolled over to avoid Mr. Brown who was flying at him with a bayonet. He raised his foot and kicked Mr. Brown in the face, kicking him about two meters away. Mr. Brown leaned against the wall, unable to react.
He took this opportunity to quickly stand up and rushed out of the room. At this moment, he was naked, and even the bath towel that covered his body fell on the edge of the bed.
The crowd that was crowded at the door to watch the excitement saw this situation, although their eyes lit up, they did not dare to block the way. They all moved aside, ready to make way for the other party to avoid being involved.
Major Holland had already noticed the crowd at the door, but at this moment he didn't care about shame and just wanted to escape quickly. As for what to do next, that was a matter for the future.
So, he didn't think much about it and just focused on escaping from here.
What no one noticed was that the young Chinese man in a black suit had his hand in his arms when he turned around. Because of the cover of the suit jacket, no one noticed anything unusual in his hand.
Just as Major Holland was desperately trying to escape and everyone at the door stepped aside to make way, "Bang, bang, bang!" several consecutive gunshots rang out, scaring the people who were watching the excitement and making them scream.
The gunshot was more than just gossip.
...
...
Major Holland, who was trying desperately to escape, was less than two meters away from the door. Blood spurted out of his chest and abdomen. However, due to the inertia of his body running away, although he was trembling all over because of the gunshot, he still rushed desperately towards the door.
This made the people at the door flee faster. The door that was impossible to squeeze into just now was empty in an instant. Only the young Chinese man was still looking at Major Holland who was still rushing out with cold eyes.
Major Holland didn't understand at this time that it was this young man who shot him. Although he felt cold all over and his strength was draining away, he still tried his best and rushed towards the other party, cursing:
"asshole!"
Seeing the other party rushing towards him, the young Chinese man was not nervous at all. Instead, he cursed at the other party in Portuguese just like the other party:
"asshole!"
At the same time, he took out the pistol hidden in his coat, close to his abdomen, and pulled the trigger at Major Holland who was rushing towards him.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
It was not until the sound of the pistol emptying was heard that the young Chinese pushed away Major Holland who had hugged his shoulders.
Seeing that Major Holland was slowly falling down, he was definitely beyond help. He turned around and looked at everyone in the room. He saw that everyone was shocked and didn't dare to move. He suddenly grinned at Mr. Brown, who was holding a sharp knife and was at a loss, and said:
"Mr. Brown, don't forget to pay the balance!"
After saying that, he nodded and bowed to him, then slowly put the gun back into the holster, turned around and left.
After the young Chinese man walked away, everyone in the room looked at Mr. Brown with stiff expressions, who had not yet reacted.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Mr. Brown trembled with fear and threw the dagger in his hand away without thinking, fearing that they would have any misunderstandings.
"Don't look at me like that! This is none of my business!"
The two waiters looked at each other and one of them said directly:
"Sir, please don't leave. Someone has died and we must call the police immediately. You can't go anywhere until the police arrive."
After saying that, they stood up and walked out together. Before leaving, one of them turned Major Holland over and used his hand to feel his breath. After confirming that he was no longer breathing, he looked up at Mr. Brown and the others and said,
"This gentleman is dead."
After saying that, he walked away quickly.
Mr. Brown and his two friends were left in the room looking at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
It was not until Mrs. Brown's crying was heard in the bed that everyone came to their senses.
One of the friends looked at Mr. Brown hesitantly and said:
"This is going to be troublesome!"
The other friend looked at the body at the door, then looked at Mrs. Brown who was hiding in the quilt, shivering and suppressing her tears, and then looked at Mr. Brown who was a little confused, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly focused on the dagger thrown on the ground by Mr. Brown.
"Something is wrong! Where did this dagger come from?"
Mr. Brown is not a stupid person as he can become the Chief Secretary for the Government of Macau. If he was furious about his wife's infidelity before, he reacted instantly after hearing what his friend said.
Yes! Today's incident was strange in every way. I suddenly received an anonymous call and rushed over to catch him in the act. I was just punching and kicking the guy, but a dagger suddenly fell out of nowhere.
Then, when the bastard was running away, the person at the door shot him to death. What was even more strange was that the other party actually nodded at him and said that he would pay the balance himself.
Isn't this a frame-up? If he still doesn't understand at this moment that someone is setting him up, he won't have to work as the Director General of the Assistant Secretary.
"There was something wrong with those two waiters just now."
Before he could say anything, his friend who had discovered the problem had already blurted it out while looking at him.
Hearing this, another friend also reacted.
"This is a trap. We can't let those two get away. Let's go after them!"
At this time, Mr. Brown had already figured out the whole thing. In fact, he thought more about it than his two friends. Who discovered that his wife was having an affair with Major Holland?
Is the other party's goal just to kill Major Holland? If they really just want to kill him, there is no need to go through so much trouble! What is the purpose of dragging me into the game?
As a politician, speculating on one's political enemies with the greatest malice is the most basic political thinking. His first feeling after reacting was that this was a conspiracy against him, and Major Holland was just a pawn.
When he heard his friend say he was going to chase the two waiters, he reached out to stop them without thinking.
“No need. Now it seems that all this was not an accident, but a trap specifically set for me. These people came prepared. If you chase them out now, you may be in danger.
Let’s just wait here for the police to arrive!”
When the two friends heard this, they thought it made sense. They looked at each other and nodded. For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence, with only Mrs. Brown's suppressed sobs as the sound could be heard.
After a while, Mr. Brown slowly got up and came to Mrs. Brown's bed. He looked at Mrs. Brown hiding in the quilt with a cold look and said:
"How long have you been with this bastard? Who knows about your relationship?"
Mrs. Brown, who had been hiding in bed, was obviously frightened and did not hear the discussion. She just cried helplessly. After hearing what Mr. Brown said, she did not react and thought that her husband was going to cause trouble for her!
I didn’t dare to answer the other person’s question directly and could only cry.
Seeing this, Mr. Brown suppressed his anger and said with gritted teeth:
"Now that Holander is dead, this is obviously a trap for me. Do you still want to continue hiding it?"
Mr. Brown originally wanted Mrs. Brown to understand her current situation and cooperate with him to find out the mastermind behind it.
But when Mrs. Brown heard that her lover, Major Holland, was dead, she stopped crying immediately, opened the quilt with an incredible look on her face, looked at Mr. Brown and said:
"Brown, are you crazy? You killed Holland for just this?"
Seeing that his wife not only had no intention of repenting but was even blaming him, Brown became furious. Which man could endure such humiliation? Without thinking, he raised his hand and slapped his wife in the face.
Mrs. Brown obviously did not expect that this man who had always been so caring towards her would dare to hit her. She would not tolerate his bad habits.
"Brown, are you crazy? Not only did you kill Holland, but now you dare to hit me. Ah! I'm not done with you!"
With a scream, he stood up suddenly, ready to fight Mr. Brown to the death.
This is really hard for Brown's two friends in the room. Mrs. Brown is now naked! If it were another woman, they would just look at it and maybe even comment on it openly.
But this is the wife of Mr. Brown, the Colonial Secretary! Is this something they can see?
The two looked at each other awkwardly, then walked out the door quietly in tacit understanding.
Brown didn't expect that this crazy woman would still throw a tantrum at him at this time. Did she want to cover up the matter by throwing a tantrum?
This time his own future is at stake, and he will not indulge the other party. Moreover, it is clearly the other party's fault, but now he wants to make trouble and avoid his mistake.
Without thinking, Mr. Brown grabbed her hair and slapped her several times, knocking Mrs. Brown dizzy.
"You stinky bitch, how have I ever let you down? You actually cheated on me, and now that you've been discovered, you're still trying to make trouble. I'm going to beat you to death, you shameless stinky bitch."
Brown's outburst completely stunned Mrs. Brown. After all, she was a pampered woman. She scratched him randomly. If Mr. Brown didn't argue with her at ordinary times, she would have won. But in the current situation, how could she beat a man who attacked with hatred?
Soon she was beaten to the ground, unable to get up, and could only curse Brown incoherently for being ruthless and ungrateful. Seeing this, Brown had completely given up on this woman and was not going to waste any more time on her.
He left Mrs. Brown and turned away. Seeing that his two friends were no longer in the room, he could only walk towards the door. Seeing them standing at the door with awkward expressions, he could only take a deep breath and calm himself down as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two with what happened tonight. Who do you think was responsible for this?"
Seeing that Mr. Brown seemed to have completely regained his composure and became the Chief Secretary for the Colonial Office again, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly.
"It happened too quickly. Apart from this dagger, there are no useful clues. It is too early to make a judgment now. We can only wait for the police to come and investigate thoroughly to see if there are more clues."
Hearing this, Mr. Brown also hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying:
"You are right. The most important thing now is to investigate everything thoroughly. We must find the two waiters and the bastard who fired the gun.
By the way, we can’t let ordinary police officers investigate. I will call the police chief now and ask someone I trust to investigate.”
After saying that, he turned around and quickly walked back to the room, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and started contacting his people.
The two people at the door could only look at each other in silence and sighed together, not knowing what to say. Now that they were dragged into this, they didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Just as Mr. Brown was contacting people and preparing to find out the mastermind behind the incident, Yao Mu and others were already on the sea route from Haojiang to Hong Kong City.
Looking at the police officers who had taken off their disguises, Yao Mu nodded with great satisfaction.
"Everyone has worked hard. I'll give you a day off after you go back so you can have a good rest. No one is allowed to talk about what happened here. This is everyone's hard work fee."
After saying that, he pulled out a suitcase from a pile of fishing nets, opened it, and handed each person a large envelope.
Seeing this, everyone smiled happily.
"Thank you, sir!"
"I emphasize again, this matter is very complicated, we are just executors, if it gets out, we may all be silenced.
For the safety of everyone's family, please forget what happened today."
When everyone saw Yao Mu's serious expression and heard him say that he was just an executor, they immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. They couldn't help but feel a chill all over their bodies, knowing that Yao Mu was not joking.
They all nodded seriously to show that they understood.
Ah Le even spoke directly:
"Yes, don't worry, sir. Tonight is my birthday, and the brothers are celebrating for me at my house. We got drunk and didn't go anywhere."
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
"Yes, yes, we are celebrating Ale's birthday tonight. We haven't been anywhere else."
Hearing this, Yao Mu nodded with satisfaction.
After returning to Gangcheng, everyone went to Ale's house for a big meal. Ale was also responsible for treating the guests this time. After all, everyone knew that as the person who drew the red lot, Yao Mu would soon give him a position, so now it was just a celebration in advance.
The murder that occurred in Haojiang caused a huge sensation the next day. After investigation by the Haojiang police, the deceased was a 38-year-old male, Major Commander Holland of the Portuguese Border Guard in Haojiang.
The suspects are Mr. Brown, the Colonial Secretary, and Major Richard, the deputy battalion commander of the Portuguese Border Guard stationed in Macao. As for how Major Richard was involved?
The reason is very simple. After police investigation, it was found that the room occupied by Major Holland was next to the room occupied by Major Richard, although Major Richard did not check in that night.
But the murderer who shot and killed people came out of this room.
Moreover, Major Richard, like Mr. Brown, had a motive for murder. According to the police investigation, Major Holland and the wives of both men were lovers. This made the whole case suspicious.
At the same time, the police and the two suspects all suspected that there were other masterminds behind the case, but everyone's attention was on the political enemies of the two suspects, and no one thought that the serious consequences would be caused by Major Holland's taking money and not doing the job.
As for the rumors that later spread in the world, these high-ranking Portuguese nobles simply disdained them, thinking that these gang members only knew how to flatter themselves and wanted to take all the credit.
Only Osborne, a logistics officer of the Portuguese border guards stationed in Macao, was so frightened after hearing about the case that he broke out in a cold sweat and dared not utter a word.
