God's chessboard

Al took a step closer, propped his hands on the desk, and leaned forward: "Master, I want to know why you hired Thayer."

The new master glanced at Al with the white of his eyes, and said a few words slowly: "I didn't hire someone called Thayer, and I don't need to answer your accusations."

"Since I have evidence that can keep you in prison for 300 years, you'd better think it's necessary." Al said blankly, "Why did you kill this woman named Lin Xiaolan?" Al put a photo in front of Xinye, which was Wanwan's twin sister, the girl whose eyes were brutally gouged out and killed four years ago.

The new master's eyeballs trembled, he took a puff of the cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke rings. Obviously, there is no regulation prohibiting indoor smoking in his site.

"Are you a policeman?" The new master slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

"Worse, I'm an FBI agent," Al said.

Behind Al, the new master's minions were tense and waiting, only the Indonesian named Big Bear did not respond.

"Detective, I will not admit anything without evidence." Xin Ye said.

"Yes, I don't have enough evidence to catch you, and you're not my target," Al said, "but I need to prove one thing."

"I'm not a fool," Xinye said. "What you're asking of me is not a trivial matter. What guarantee can I get?"

"The promise is the letter just now," Al said. "I can destroy the evidence that will put you in jail, but the price is to tell me why Lin Xiaolan—or Virginia—needs to be killed."

The new master was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Isn't the murderer who killed Virginia already dead? He died on the outskirts of Philadelphia."

"Don't interrupt me, you and I both know he's not the real murderer," Al said, "It was Thayer who killed Lin Xiaolan."

"How do you know?" The new master asked back.

"The wound on Lin Xiaolan's eye showed signs of healing. She lived at least 3 days after the eye was gouged out. The guy who died in Philadelphia only gouged out her eye. The one who gave her the fatal shot was someone else ,” Al said, “I interrogated Thayer several times without any substantive results, but the only thing he admitted was that you hired him to kill Lin Xiaolan.”

"You didn't tell your lover about this, did you?" Xin Ye sneered.

"This has nothing to do with him," Al said, "I have already discovered the doubts in Lin Xiaolan's case. Even without Thayer's confession, the evidence points to you: when you made your fortune in Taiwan, Lin Xiaolan was the one who worked for you." Young prostitute, you probably didn't guard against an underage little girl and let her know too much."

The new master narrowed his eyes: "That little girl did block my way, but I don't admit that I hired Thayer."

Seeing that the new master was biting him to death, Al realized that he could not persuade this person. Obviously, there was something more frightening for the new master than the 300-year prison disaster, so he said: "In this case, you are waiting for your arrest." Order." After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave.

The new master shouted behind him: "Wait a minute, I can sell you a favor: Your lover is now in the hands of a man named Gang Zai. If you want to save him, go to the fish market."

"Thank you." There was no trace of gratitude in Al's words.

But as soon as he got out of the depressing magic cave, Al immediately ran to the fish market, ignoring the shouts of pedestrians he bumped into.

On the seventh day of Wang Yao's stay at the fisherman's hut, the boat finally arrived.

In the early morning of that day, Gang Zai woke up Wang Yao: "Pack up your things and follow me."

Like every day, Gang Zai carried the fishing net and stepped barefoot on the beach covered with kelp debris. The shells hidden in the fine sand were sunk deeper into the sand by his stepping.Wang Yao followed behind him, the misty air wet his shirt, while Gang Zai in front was shirtless, tiny drops of water condensed on his strong back.

The two pushed the fishing boat into the sea and jumped on it. Gang Zai started the motor, and the boat sailed to the depths of the sea shrouded in morning mist.When the coast had melted into the mist and could not be seen, Gangzai turned off the motor and allowed the boat to float with the ocean current.The two sat in the boat and waited quietly.

"We don't really come to fish, do we?" Wang Yao wanted to chat for a while.

Gang Zai threw him a sun hat: "Put it on."

Wang Yao didn't think there was any sun to hide from now, and he had long been used to the wind and sun, but he didn't make a sound and put on his hat.

Gang Zai began to cast the net, and after a while, it was slowly collected. After the net was pulled out of the sea, a pile of various fish and some shrimp soldiers and crab generals could be seen at the bottom of the net.Wang Yao also came to help, and together with Gangzai poured out the booty from the net, the basket was full of alive and kicking sea creatures.

After a while, the fog dissipated and the sky was shining brightly. Only then did Wang Yao feel beads of sweat drip down his cheeks, and his hair in the sun hat was already wet.

In the distance, a Chinese white dolphin jumped out of the sea, and plunged gracefully into the blue water.

"It's so beautiful!" Wang Yao couldn't help sighing.

"The sea is a man's feelings," said Gang Zai. "You can get everything from the sea, and you can lose everything."

Wang Yao couldn't help laughing: "This is too...artistic."

"Those who have experienced it will know." A rare smile appeared on the corner of Gangzai's mouth.

"You haven't answered me yet, are we just here to fish?" Wang Yao asked again, "Where is the person who responded?"

"You will see it soon." Gangzai started the motor again, and the speed of the boat suddenly increased, drawing a trail of waves on the calm sea.

Amidst the roar of the motor, Gangzai frowned again, returning to the look of keeping strangers away.Sitting next to him, Wang Yao quietly looked at the side face of this young man. The sea breeze blowing against his face made Gangzai's disheveled hair fluttering like a flag. Gangzai didn't wear goggles, but squinted slightly. Open your eyes to relieve the soreness of the eyeballs being scraped by the wind knife.

A dark color gradually rises on the sea level ahead, which is a small island.

"It's almost there," Gangzai said, pointing to the small island. "You can meet the informant after you get on the island, and then take a boat to Bangkok Port. The rest is up to you."

"How can I see Fankata?" Wang Yao asked.

"It's up to you to figure out your own way," said Gang Zai. "Your woman did the same thing back then."

"Chunyan...what is her purpose?" Wang Yao still couldn't figure it out, "Just for a human transaction?" Although punishing evil is Wang Chunyan's style of work, the price of her action was too high, and With little success.

"I don't know, I won't intervene in the client's personal affairs." Gangzai was not interested at all.

Wang Yao no longer asked, he looked at the growing island.

When the boat docked, Gang Zai tied the boat and took Wang Yao to the island.There are very few residents on this island, most of whom make a living by smuggling, and it is also a transit point for smugglers.

At a dilapidated tea stand, they met the informant.The informant is a Thai Chinese who can speak several languages. It seems that he often deals with Aberdeen, and the two quickly reached an agreement.

Gangzai turned around and said to Wang Yao: "He will take you on board, my mission has been completed, so let's go."

"Thank you." Wang Yao said.

Gang Zai suddenly said solemnly: "Wang Yao, let me tell you one last time: You may never return. If you don't want to go, I can take you back immediately."

Wang Yao took off the sun hat on his head and put it in Gangzai's hand: "Thank you, I'm going."

Gang Zai nodded: "Then I'm leaving." After that, he didn't stay for a second, turned and walked to the beach.

Wang Yao turned to the informant: "When are we going to leave?"

"Seven o'clock in the evening." The informant said in blunt Mandarin.

After dark at night, Wang Yao finally boarded the boat to Bangkok. The informant did not board the boat. He was only responsible for sending Wang Yao and several other smugglers aboard.In this way, more than one stowaway was mixed among the passengers on board.Everyone is listless, some are sitting curled up and dozing, some are staring blankly, their numb expressions make every face look the same, it is not easy to tell who is illegal among them.

"Hey, put your eyes away, don't look around." A threatening voice sounded in Wang Yao's ear.

Wang Yao turned his head and saw a young man with a bad complexion. Under his shabby clothes, he could see the outline of a weapon. It seemed that there were not only stowaways on board, but also people guarding stowaways.Wang Yao caught their attention. Unlike others, he kept observing the surrounding environment with piercing eyes, obviously analyzing and calculating.

Realizing his mistake, Wang Yao narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and stopped looking around, and the guard next to him who was staring at him didn't bother him anymore.

A few days later, when the ship arrived at the port of Bangkok in the early hours of the morning, the smell in the cabin was already extremely bad, and everyone was disheveled.Wang Yao's ability to adapt is much stronger than ordinary people, even though he has been floating in the sea for a few days, he still maintains good physical strength.After landing on the coast of Thailand, Wang Yao quickly sneaked into the night, quietly blending into this sleeping city.

Wang Yao found a random place to hide for a few hours, and when it was dawn, he walked out of the hiding place and came to the city.He first found a foreign exchange office to exchange some Thai baht. The money he had with him was limited, but it was enough for a short-term mission.Wang Yao couldn't help but miss the days when he worked for Ivan. At that time, he never had to worry about money. No matter where in the world Ivan would find a way to get him money. Before setting off, prepare enough tickets for him to spend, but sometimes throwing money around will inevitably make Ivan say a few words: "This money is bought with human lives! Do you think I am a bank?"

Now that there is no support from Ivan behind him, Wang Yao has to save money. He found a cheap hotel to live in. The owner thought he was Korean at first, and called him "vomit" quite enthusiastically, knowing that he was from China. Afterwards, I became more proud, and asked in English with a Thai accent: "Is this your first visit to a developed country?" After Wang Yao handed over his American passport, the shopkeeper immediately smiled again: "Oh, so you are an American!" Wang Yao didn't bother to explain, he had many nationalities: "I'm a Chinese tourist, please find a clean room." So the owner arranged him into a room on the fourth floor, with good lighting and comfortable environment. Quiet, Wang Yao stayed down.

When Al found Gangzai, Wang Yao had already left.

"What did you say?" Al asked with wide eyes.

"He's gone. I just sent him away yesterday." Gang Zai said expressionlessly.

"Where did he go?" Al asked.

"No comment, this is professional ethics." Aberdeen folded his arms.

Al grabbed Gangzai by the collar: "Stop following me! I want to know the whereabouts of Wang Yao! Where is that man now?"

"What are you doing?" The boys on both sides came up to pull Al.

Kong Zai gestured for the horses to back down.

"At sea," Gangzai said coldly, "you might as well find a boat and chase after him."

"Where did he go?" Al asked aloud.

"No comment." Gangzai still only had this sentence.

Al grabbed Gangzai's collar even more tightly, and said word by word: "Listen to me: I want to find the intact Wang Yao, and if he makes a mistake, I'll chop you up and your Feed the fish to the dog together!"

"Can you do it?" Gangzai snorted coldly, suddenly grabbed Al's wrist and threw it out violently.

Al was caught off guard, and was thrown a few steps away. When he fell, he knocked down the wooden shelf behind him, and the fish viscera placed on it spilled all over his head and body.

Gangzai walked up to him, looked down at him with disdain and said, "Don't act wild on my territory, even if you are an FBI agent, I can let you go sideways."

Al got up and punched Gang Zai in the chest, and Gang Zai was beaten back a few steps before he stopped.

"I don't care who you are, I'm not looking for you as the FBI, I just want to keep Wang Yao away from danger." Al walked over step by step.

The horse boys had already swung their knives to pounce on them, but Gangzai waved his hand again to stop them.

"Detective Jones, I can tell you: Your current situation is ten times more dangerous than Wang Yao's. Going to find Wang Yao is like throwing yourself into a trap. As for Wang Yao, he may die, but he may not." Hong Kong Tsai said.

"Why am I in danger?" Al asked.

"I can't say any more." Gangzai returned to his indifferent look.

"Anyway, I'm going to find Wang Yao, I won't watch him die!" Al said, turned and left.

"Wait a minute, Agent Jones." Gang Zai stopped him, "Where are you going to find him?"

Al didn't have a clue, but he was confident: "I'll always find someone willing to talk." With that said, he walked out of the fish-smelling shop.

As soon as Al stepped out, Gang Zai immediately said to a smart horse boy beside him, "Follow him."
