Meanwhile, in an exquisitely decorated detached house on North Street, two men and a woman were sitting facing each other.
One of the young men spoke up, "Brother, those two thugs we caught yesterday were a waste. Just like the two we caught the day before, they knew nothing when we asked them. They didn't know anything about seals. You know, there are only a few petty thieves in this area. Could it be that we made a mistake and it wasn't the petty thieves in this area who did it?"
The burly man at the head of the group got up and went to the window. His face was gloomy as he looked out the window. He said with some annoyance, "I thought it was nothing big, just a piece of cake, and I even agreed to it with my chest! But I didn't expect it to go so wrong. None of the people we caught are the real culprits. Could it really be the work of those out-of-town gangsters? If so, it will be really hard to find them!"
The young woman, who had been sitting in the chair, picking her nails with a thin, willow-leaf-shaped knife, showed no sign of worry. She nonchalantly replied, "You guys are just too impatient. It's only been a few days. I'm not in a hurry at all! I haven't had enough of living in this beautiful house yet!"
She wanted to continue speaking, but seeing her brother's gloomy face that looked like it could be wrung out of water, she stopped talking!
But after a while, she couldn't help but say again, "I said from the beginning that we should first check those antique shops and pawnshops, catch their owners, and ask if anyone is selling stolen goods. These people can't eat or wear those jade and antique items, so they have to exchange them for money! But you wouldn't do it, brother! You insisted on investigating these habitual thieves. Now we've caught them, but we haven't gotten anything out of them!"
Hearing his second sister's accusations, the eldest brother turned around angrily and said, "When looking for something, of course we should find the thief first, that's straightforward. If we follow your method, and the thief doesn't rush to sell the good stuff, then we can search every antique shop and pawn shop without finding anything! Besides, you tied up the shopkeeper, are you going to release him after questioning him? If you release him, we siblings will be exposed! If you don't release him? It's not just a few petty thieves who can die and no one will care! But if they kill those rich people, the police will definitely file a case, and we'll have a criminal record, which will cause endless trouble!"
“Exactly, I agree with you, brother. Killing a few thugs is fine, but if things get out of hand, it’ll be hard to get away with it.” The young man still thought his brother’s approach was prudent. “The thug I interrogated yesterday said there’s another habitual thief around here named Cui Er. He was so hungry a few days ago that he switched to robbery, ended up injuring someone and getting locked up in the station. When he gets released in a couple of days, I’ll go and tie him up. Maybe it was this kid who did it.”
"Xiao Rou, I don't think those two boys can say anything now. Go and deal with them in a bit. Just like those two boys the day before yesterday, throw them into the garbage dump behind the house tonight," said Zuo Gang, the burly man in the lead, to his sister Zuo Rou.
"I know, this is such a hassle. Let's just dig a hole in this yard and bury them. Those two dead ghosts are so heavy!" Second Sister Zuo Rou said reluctantly, her willow-leaf knife nimbly dancing in her hand, flipping lightly between her wrists. "It's settled then, I'm not going to carry those two dead ghosts today, I'm exhausted!"
“That won’t do! This house is Brother Dai’s outer residence. We’re just using it for a while. People will be living here in the future. How can you bury two dead people in the yard?” The third brother, Zuo Qiang, who was sitting to the side, quickly interrupted his second sister and shook his head repeatedly.
"Get lost! Men are all the same, Brother Dai is no exception. He secretly keeps women outside and even bought them such a big house." Zuo Rou spat lightly and scolded angrily, "After the fight, I'll have killed four people here. It's already a haunted house, what kind of person lives here!"
She complained reluctantly, but she knew in the end that burying the dead in this courtyard would be difficult to explain to her boss, Brother Dai!
Zuo Gang was very annoyed and said impatiently, "You talk too much when it comes to doing something. Fine! Just get to work. Tonight, Lao San and I will deal with the corpses. You'll be too busy doing chores to handle this!"
After being scolded by her older brother, Zuo Rou rolled her eyes, snorted irritably, stood up, and turned to leave.
Arriving at the easternmost side room, they opened the door and saw two men inside, tightly bound and with rags stuffed in their mouths.
The two men were covered in wounds, with broken bones in their hands and feet, leaving them unable to support themselves. They lay limp on the ground, unable to escape even if they weren't bound!
Upon seeing Zuo Rou enter, the two women's eyes revealed terror, and they struggled, making whimpering sounds. As Zuo Rou approached step by step, their struggles intensified!
Zuo Rou didn't say much. She stepped forward, pressed down on one of the men's heads, and with a light slash of her sharp willow-leaf knife, cut a straight line, accurately severing the man's carotid artery. She then used the same method to sever the carotid artery of the other man. Her movements were extremely swift and clean!
The two men opened their eyes wide, quickly lost consciousness, and died!
At this time, within the blockade area designated by Ning Zhiheng, long railings were placed at the entrance of each street, and a large number of armed police stood behind the railings, completely blocking the nearby streets.
Apart from Shao Wenguang leading ten members to monitor Wu Tianfeng, the remaining thirty-odd members of the Third Action Team were fully armed and guarded different locations.
In a wide open space in the middle of the street, Ning Zhiheng, along with Sun Jiacheng, Liu Datong, and others, were waiting there!
