Anecdotes about the Seine
Chapter 3 The Departed Walker 2
([-]) Undercover
If the time could be repeated, Li Yuqi would definitely tell herself a year and a half ago: Don't sit on the stairs of the fire exit of the main building and cry.
That day the school leader finished reading the expulsion notice to her in the office, and then she pushed the door out without saying a word, without crying.But in fact, she was holding back her tears, and finally when she walked to the stairwell, she couldn't help but burst into tears.She sat down against the wall, sobbing and thinking about the past 20 years of her life.She never doubted that she must be a policeman.
At this moment, a seemingly kind female voice sounded from behind: "Do you still want to be a policeman?"
Later, Li Yuqi kept recalling the moment when she saw Dai Meng for the first time.At that time, Dai Meng was wearing a police uniform, and you could see her rank. She was the kind who had to stand at attention and salute if she met her in school.If her reaction at that time hadn't been to nod immediately, maybe life would not be so painful now.
After leaving school, she followed Dai Meng's instructions and came to Y city.Dai Meng forged her a student status of dropping out of a certain three universities, and asked her to hang out in Sifang Street for a while.This street is the famous "Degenerate Street" in Y City. There are bars, nightclubs, KTV game halls, etc. all over the street. It is said that most of them are the property of President Xu.Naturally, on this street, the frequency of crime breeding is also frighteningly high.
Li Yuqi rented a cheap house nearby, and then either hang out in the game hall or in the Internet cafe every day, giving off the image of a girl addicted to the Internet.In fact, the game hall is a lot of tricks. Amidst the crackling keyboards and the loud game music, many deals are concluded without anyone noticing.Li Yuqi had always suspected that there might be an underground gambling market hidden behind the heavy fire escape door, but she couldn't get in yet.Three months later, she played through all the equipment in the game hall, and found that the dance machine was the most suitable for her-after winning the weekly championship for three consecutive weeks, she successfully attracted the attention of some people.
"Sister, teach me." One day, a little girl looked at her with adoring eyes and said.
The little girl was obviously underage, but she dressed very boldly. Not only did she have dyed yellow hair and heavy makeup, she even had a conspicuous tattoo on her neck.
The girl was Yuan Danni, she quit junior high school and lived in this street for several years.Later, Li Yuqi gradually got to know her well, and learned a lot of gossip about this street from her.It turns out that every shop, every bar, game hall, KTV, etc. on this street is "covered by someone".The seemingly unrelated shopkeepers, security guards, cleaners, and even the old man basking in the sun with a cattail fan at the door of a small shop all have hidden relationships that are intricate and unfathomable.
Li Yuqi hung around with Yuan Danni for another few months.Don't look at Danni's young age, she has more experience in social life than Li Yuqi.She relied on various errand jobs to earn a little money from time to time, and on the one hand, she used this to get acquainted with different bigwigs.Li Yuqi learned a lot from her, dyed her hair, pierced her ears, and got tattoos.Later, it basically became a familiar face on the street. Everyone knows that there is a good-for-nothing girl in the game hall. The only thing in life every day is to constantly refresh the game records of various machines.
That day, the two of them played in the game hall as usual all afternoon, feeling a little hungry, so they planned to go to the noodle shop next door to have something to eat.As soon as he walked out the door, he saw a group of people approaching in a mighty manner.The group of people, all dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, gathered in front of a group of black cars.A woman got out of the car. She was dressed in bright colors and led her head proudly.Li Yuqi looked at the woman carefully. She was not tall, but she was extremely thin, and her figure looked petite, but it didn't affect her big sister's temperament at all.She led the group into the nearby "Polaroid" nightclub.
"Who is she?" Li Yuqi asked Yuan Danni.
"Wow, you don't even know this." Yuan Danni laughed at her, "Who doesn't know Mr. Wan in Sifang Street?"
This was the first time Li Yuqi met Qiu Xinyi.
However, she officially became a member of Boss Wan because of a very, very accidental event.
Later, when Li Yuqi recalled it, she always felt that fate favored her at that moment.If she hadn't rejected Dani's invitation that day, hadn't gone to the game hall to play games by accident, hadn't had a sudden urge to urinate but ran to the back door of the game hall by mistake, then nothing would have happened.
Of course, what she didn't know at the time was that if all this hadn't happened, there wouldn't have been those tragedies that followed.This is something.
After she finished solving the problem that day, she accidentally took a wrong turn and accidentally walked to the back door of the game hall.She didn't know that there was a yard behind the game hall, so she walked around the yard with great interest.There is a small artificial pond in the middle of the yard, but there is no water for a long time, and there is a rockery about two people high beside it.As soon as she walked over, she heard voices on the other side of the rockery.
"You said, if you give me the money, the photos will be returned to me." A female voice gritted her teeth.
"That depends on how much this photo is worth in your heart." The male voice with a hippie smile said, "I think...you should pay another 20."
"You are sitting on the ground and raising the price!" The female voice suddenly became hysterical with anger.
Then suddenly there was a tearing and struggling sound, and it seemed that the two men started to move their hands.Immediately after two slaps, there was another scream of a woman, "Ah!", it seemed that the man had the upper hand.Li Yuqi couldn't stand it anymore, she rushed out.
The man in front of him firmly grabbed the woman's neck.Li Yuqi didn't have time to think, she reacted almost subconsciously, she locked the man's neck from behind, and kicked him behind his knee.The man let go, but turned on the person behind him, and he broke free with little effort, so the two were now face to face.
The woman collapsed on the ground, struggling to catch her breath.
"Don't mind your own business." The man was vicious.
After speaking, she rushed forward, but Li Yuqi dodged deftly, and then punched the man on the nose with a straight backhand.When the man bent down holding his nose in pain, she turned around and kicked, hitting the man's right cheek with a slap, and he hit the ground with a bang.
"You're ruthless." When he got up, blood oozed from the hand covering his nose, and he ran away scrambling.
Li Yuqi looked back at the woman again, and found that she had calmed down, but she was a bit embarrassed by her disheveled clothes.Li Yuqi took off her coat and put it on for her.When the woman raised her face, Li Yuqi suddenly felt that she looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, isn't this the "Boss Wan" she saw that day?
"Mr. Wan, ah no, Miss Qiu."
Qiu Xinyi looked at her with great interest: "Are you good at fighting?"
"Oh, I used to belong to the taekwondo club in college,"
"I know you." She said lightly, "Dani told my subordinates that you are quite clever."
"..." Li Yuqi didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Why don't you come with me." Qiu Xinyi suddenly smiled.
At that moment, Li Yuqi seemed to have forgotten who she was and why she was here—she just wanted to nod and say "yes".
She said, "Okay, Miss Qiu."
Qiu Xinyi smiled, turned around and prepared to leave.After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and smiled sweetly.
"Just call me Wanwan," she said.
At that moment, Li Yuqi suddenly understood why this woman can become a leader who responds to everyone.
([-]) Occupation
When Li Yuqi returned to her small shabby house, she came back to her senses and carefully savored everything that had just happened.
According to the information she got from Danni in the past few days, the part of the business that Qiu Xinyi was in charge of was mainly gambling, but she had a vague feeling that drugs might also be part of it.This is not entirely intuition, but an inference drawn from the analysis of clues.For example, several of Qiu Xinyi's subordinates have been unusually frequenting bars, KTVs and nightclubs recently, and these places happen to be the main places for drug dealing.According to common sense, these places are obviously Kong Xiaoyin's territory. I heard that the relationship between the two is very ordinary, so they probably went there for the sale of drugs.
So what happened today?Judging by the words, it is very likely that Qiu Xinyi was threatened by that man with something.Yes, it is a photo.Why would someone like Mr. Wan face this matter alone instead of bringing at least a few bodyguards with him?It can only be speculated that this photo must have caught her lifeline, making her dare not act rashly, and dare not let anyone else know about it.
This means that she is the only outsider who knows about it.
At this moment, Li Yuqi had vaguely realized that her undercover operation in this organization might have entered a new stage because of this accidental incident.
In the next few days, Qiu Xinyi didn't ask her to do anything, but just told her to follow her if nothing happened.
"I need a personal bodyguard." Qiu Xinyi said.
But there was really nothing to do, because Qiu Xinyi had too little time alone.Basically, Li Yuqi followed her to run around in different places every day, accompanied by a large number of male followers.In fact, this is an excellent opportunity to collect information, because she has seen every transaction made by Qiu Xinyi clearly.
I just don't know if Qiu Xinyi did it on purpose, there is no drug deal involved.
But for a few moments, Li Yuqi did have the urge to report what happened in front of her to Dai Meng, so that she would immediately send a team of police over to arrest them.For example, when Qiu Xinyi listened to a report from her subordinates to collect money from someone who owed gambling debts, the various inhumane methods described by her subordinates made her feel chills.There was even one time when a few people brought back a human ear that had just been cut off. At that moment, she almost vomited, but Qiu Xinyi didn't respond, and only cared about whether the money was in hand.
Of course, she held back in the end, because after all, she had to put a long line to catch big fish.Dai Meng had told her before that the ultimate goal of the operation was the drug trade.Other less serious crimes can be temporarily ignored, and Li Yuqi can even get involved if necessary.But how to grasp the specific degree is completely up to her.
After following for two weeks like this, one day, Qiu Xinyi suddenly called her home and dismissed everyone around her.There were only the two of them left in the room.
"I know you've been wondering what happened two weeks ago." Qiu Xinyi said. "But you didn't ask, that's good, it shows that you are still very smart."
"It's time for you to do something real," she said.
Then she gave Li Yuqi a task: to solve the man who had the photo.
"Actually, you don't have to do anything, just find copies of all the photos before three o'clock in the morning. Someone will do the rest."
Li Yuqi came to the man's house according to the address given by Qiu Xinyi.The man lived in the dirtiest place in the city, on the fifth floor of a dilapidated small building.She confirmed the location, tried it from the front door, and the lock seemed to be quite strong, so she walked around to the back of the building, took a closer look, and decided to go in through the window.
She climbed out of the fourth-floor stairwell window and saw her target just above the left.She tried to resist the urge not to look down at her feet.Climbing is a piece of cake for her, but at such a high place, her fear of heights cannot be controlled.
After much effort, she finally entered the room.This man's home really has nothing, it can be described as barren, but this is also good, it relieves her pressure of searching.She tiptoed through things, because the man slept in the bedroom.To her surprise, she soon found a stack of photos hidden in the cabinet.
Li Yuqi opened it and found that those photos were all photos of Qiu Xinyi and a man, and some of them looked very intimate.
She didn't know the man, so she left it alone, picked up the photo and was about to leave.But before she climbed the window, it occurred to her, maybe the man kept multiple copies?
So she searched again and again, but found nothing.Only the bedroom where the men slept remained.Heartbroken, she walked in.There seemed to be nothing in that bedroom either.She was about to leave when she suddenly saw a cloth bag under the man's head, which seemed to contain something as thick as a book.
"This is going to be a lot harder," she thought to herself.
She considered whether to knock the man unconscious or something.But maybe he slept more dead?She tried to approach the man slowly, but she didn't expect that the man suddenly woke up as soon as she approached.
When his eyes opened, the two looked at each other for three seconds.It may be that in the darkness, the man did not recognize the face in front of him.Then he suddenly jumped up like a frightened bird, and his hand was already reaching for the cloth bag.
It's a pity that Li Yuqi was one step faster than him, stepped forward first, bumped the man aside with her shoulder, and snatched the cloth bag in her hand.
The thing is in hand, but the man in front of him seems to be difficult to deal with.He got up from the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "You people who have no conscience, you will die a good death!"
Li Yuqi didn't have time to investigate the meaning of this sentence, because the man had already pounced on him.She was slow to react for a while, so she stretched out her arm to block it, but found that the man's strength was far greater than that of the previous fight, and she didn't know if it was because of being provoked or something else.She took a step back in pain, thinking it would be better to walk, so she ran towards the door.But within a few steps, she found that no one was chasing her.
Looking back, the man was clutching his neck desperately with both hands, his eyes were protruding, and his throat was making a gurgling sound. After a while, he stopped struggling and fell down limply.Behind him, a tall and thin figure slowly retracted the rope in his hand.
At this time, the clock on the wall pointed to exactly [-]:[-] in the morning.
"You're too slow." The figure came out from the shadows, and Li Yuqi saw it. It was a tall and thin woman with square cheeks and thin and long legs.
She glanced at the things in Li Yuqi's hands, she seemed completely uninterested, turned around and was about to leave.
Li Yuqi called her to stop: "Are you also from Mr. Wan?"
The woman didn't answer the question directly, but said softly: "I only care about my tasks, and you'd better only care about your own tasks." Then she disappeared without turning her head.
Li Yuqi slowly sat on the ground.The thrilling memory just now made her a little scared at the moment.Looking back, the man's body was still twisted on the ground in a strange posture.His eyes were still wide open, looking fixedly at her.
Apparently, Mr. Wan thought she was not capable of killing yet, so he sent another person.If one day, she needs to kill an innocent person herself, can she do it?
Li Yuqi sat there motionless, thinking for a long time.
When she handed over the photo to Qiu Xinyi, she seemed very satisfied.After briefly looking at the photos, in front of Li Yuqi, she pressed the lighter and burned all the copies.
"You're doing well," she said.
After this incident, she was truly in the group.
([-]) Prince
At first, Li Yuqi felt that she was like Qiu Xinyi's little assistant, and she had to do all the trivial things, from ordering takeaways and buying clothes to delivering messages and printing contracts.In the process, she probably figured out how the entire gambling business in City Y works.
Sometimes she feels that she is caught in the torn conflict.When chatting with people in the organization, the meaningless attitude of those people made her feel cold, but as time went by, she felt as if her own thoughts were slowly assimilated.There is nothing to sympathize with people who are addicted to gambling, and it is only the gambler mentality that is causing trouble as they get deeper and deeper.There is nothing to sympathize with usurers.But seeing that the methods of debt collection are becoming more and more cruel, she must control the little softness left in her heart and try not to show it.
Wan didn't look for her that day, she was bored by herself, so she went to the game hall, and she saw Yuan Danni bouncing on the dancing machine.When she got off the dancing machine, she saw Li Yuqi and ran over happily.
"Now you are a big celebrity in front of Mr. Wan, and the whole street is talking about you." Yuan Danni said.
The two of them ate, drank and played games as usual.Dani chattered about recent experiences, but Li Yuqi knew almost everything about it.It's just that when she talked about another new thing, she suddenly felt a move in her heart.
"Who is that person you just mentioned?" Li Yuqi asked.
"Oh, you mean the prince?" Yuan Danni said, "She seems to have changed her sex recently, and she has started to take care of things." She carefully picked the crayfish in her hand, and said, "The recent gossip says that she and Ms. Very recently, I heard that Sister Silence found several beautiful girls for her, but she seems to have no interest in them... It's strange if you say it, if it's not for women, why would she find Sister Silence?"
That's a good question.Li Yuqi thought to herself.
The first time Li Yuqi met the crown prince was Qiu Xinyi who took her to a dinner party, and Mr. Xu and the crown prince happened to be there.At that time, she felt that the reputation was really well-deserved-the tall Xu Zixuan seemed to stand out from the rest of the crowd.She has an evil temperament and seems to be indifferent to everything, but she takes care of the details of her life very well.To put it simply, at first glance, you think this is a prodigal son, but once you get in touch with him, you feel polite and decent.I don't know how this persona set her up.
At the dinner, Xu Zixuan took his real girlfriend with him, asking about her health, and taking care of her everywhere, but she couldn't see her rumored flirtatious nature at all.The girlfriend's name was Yuan Yuzhen. She was petite and cute, but she was obviously spoiled and behaved like a young lady.I heard that her family is in D city, and it is also a powerful family.She is currently studying at university in City Y.
In the middle of the dinner, someone suddenly came over and whispered something in Xu Zixuan's ear.She nodded immediately, apologized to the people at the dinner table, and left.That person Li Yuqi felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that it seemed to be from Miss Silencer's side.
She remembered what Dani had said, and her heart suddenly moved, so she excused herself to go to the bathroom and left the table.She quietly followed Xu Zixuan, watching her get rid of the people around her, and walked to the housing department of the hotel alone.Kong Xiaoyin was waiting for her at the stairs.
Li Yuqi had seen Kong Xiaoyin before, but it was the first time to observe him so closely.The woman had a graceful figure and was very predictable, even Li Yuqi couldn't move her eyes away.She smiled charmingly and touched Xu Zixuan's face with her hand, but the two of them did not make any further movements, and Li Yuqi could not see the expression on Xu Zixuan's face.The two then walked upstairs side by side.Li Yuqi followed and watched them enter a guest room on the third floor together.
There is a utility room next to the guest room.Li Yuqi went to try it, but the utility room was unlocked.So she went in and climbed out through the little window in the utility room.Just right, next to the balcony of that room.
She struggled over the railing and landed on the balcony.The French windows on the balcony were not closed, and through the tulle curtains, she saw that besides Xu Zixuan and Kong Xiaoyin, there was another person in the room.
The person was a slender woman, and the clothes could be seen to be expensive.She was lazily sitting on the sofa, but exuded an abstinent temperament.
Faintly heard Xu Zixuan's voice: "Why are you bringing Tako here now? The aftershock is right below."
Kong Xiaoyin whispered a few words to Xu Zixuan, but Li Yuqi couldn't hear him anymore.Seeing Xu Zixuan's serious expression, she waved her hand, Kong Xiaoyin smiled sweetly, and went out.
Only Xu Zixuan and the woman called tako were left in the room.The former turned around and pulled the latter up, and wrapped his arms around her waist very skillfully, and the two walked into the bedroom.
After about 15 minutes, Xu Zixuan came out, tidied his clothes, opened the door and went out.
Li Yuqi thought she probably returned to the banquet.It's just such a short time to come out and steal a love... It's really too human to fail.She was about to turn back the same way, when she heard a voice coming from the other side of the curtain, saying coldly, "You can come out now."
She was startled and almost fell off the balcony.But there was no other way, so he had no choice but to walk into the room helplessly.
The woman sat on the sofa and looked up at her.Suddenly, Li Yuqi understood why Xu Zixuan was with this woman - those eyes were so attractive.
"Are you sent by Yuan Yuzhen?" She asked softly, without any expression on her face.
Li Yuqi didn't know what to say.
The woman stood up and looked around her silently, as if she suddenly remembered something.
"You seem... to belong to Qiu Xinyi." Her expression suddenly changed, and her eyes became more vigilant.Almost instantly, she suddenly took out a pistol from nowhere and pressed it against Li Yuqi's eyebrows.
"Say, how much do you know?" The woman suddenly became fierce.
"I don't know anything." At this moment, her hairs stood on end.This was the first time she felt the fear of possible death.In fact, when I was in the police academy, playing with guns was a common thing.But the training strictly stipulates that guns cannot be pointed at people. This is the first time she has been pointed at by a gun.
But the woman suddenly put the gun down.She suddenly returned to that calm and useless look, and slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.
"It's good if she knows. Let's fight, it's lively." She narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to rest.
"Let's go." She closed her eyes and said.
But Li Yuqi keenly discovered the hidden meaning in this sentence.
"Know what?" she asked.
The woman opened her eyes, looked at her in disbelief, and then burst out laughing: "You really don't know anything. Then forget it." She closed her eyes again, as if she didn't want to talk anymore .
Li Yuqi thought to herself, let's take the opportunity to leave at this time, and I will investigate the specific conspiracy slowly.She was about to return to the balcony, but she heard the woman say quietly behind her back: "This circle is too dirty. You haven't sunk too deep yet, go away."
After a few seconds, she said again: "Don't be like me, you have no choice."
From her words, Li Yuqi heard helplessness.Suddenly, countless thoughts turned in her mind.She could hear that this woman seemed to be a little tired of this organization, and also very helpless with her own life.But she is also a key figure - at least on Kong Xiaoyin's side, she is a very useful pawn.But obviously, she is not very satisfied with the fact that she is a pawn.
Maybe I can try to trick her a bit?Thinking of this, Li Yuqi made a bold decision.
She turned around and said to the woman, "Have you ever thought that you actually have another choice?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, which surprised Li Yuqi inexplicably, wondering whether the woman had been stimulated and had mental problems?
She laughed for a long time, until she burst into tears.Then she wiped her eyes and said, "Again. Anyway, this is retribution."
Then she stood up slowly, and suddenly faced Li Yuqi seriously.She spoke word for word.
"Are you a policeman?"
If the time could be repeated, Li Yuqi would definitely tell herself a year and a half ago: Don't sit on the stairs of the fire exit of the main building and cry.
That day the school leader finished reading the expulsion notice to her in the office, and then she pushed the door out without saying a word, without crying.But in fact, she was holding back her tears, and finally when she walked to the stairwell, she couldn't help but burst into tears.She sat down against the wall, sobbing and thinking about the past 20 years of her life.She never doubted that she must be a policeman.

([-]) Occupation
When Li Yuqi returned to her small shabby house, she came back to her senses and carefully savored everything that had just happened.
According to the information she got from Danni in the past few days, the part of the business that Qiu Xinyi was in charge of was mainly gambling, but she had a vague feeling that drugs might also be part of it.This is not entirely intuition, but an inference drawn from the analysis of clues.For example, several of Qiu Xinyi's subordinates have been unusually frequenting bars, KTVs and nightclubs recently, and these places happen to be the main places for drug dealing.According to common sense, these places are obviously Kong Xiaoyin's territory.

So what happened today?Judging by the words, it is very likely that Qiu Xinyi was threatened by that man with something.Yes, it is a photo.Why would someone like Mr. Wan face this matter alone instead of bringing at least a few bodyguards with him?It can only be speculated that this photo must have caught her lifeline, making her dare not act rashly, and dare not let anyone else know about it.
This means that she is the only outsider who knows about it.
At this moment, Li Yuqi had vaguely realized that her undercover operation in this organization might have entered a new stage because of this accidental incident.
In the next few days, Qiu Xinyi didn't ask her to do anything, but just told her to follow her if nothing happened.
"I need a personal bodyguard." Qiu Xinyi said.
But there was really nothing to do, because Qiu Xinyi had too little time alone.Basically, Li Yuqi followed her to run around in different places every day, accompanied by a large number of male followers.In fact, this is an excellent opportunity to collect information, because she has seen every transaction made by Qiu Xinyi clearly.
I just don't know if Qiu Xinyi did it on purpose, there is no drug deal involved.
But for a few moments, Li Yuqi did have the urge to report what happened in front of her to Dai Meng, so that she would immediately send a team of police over to arrest them.For example, when Qiu Xinyi listened to a report from her subordinates to collect money from someone who owed gambling debts, the various inhumane methods described by her subordinates made her feel chills.There was even one time when a few people brought back a human ear that had just been cut off. At that moment, she almost vomited, but Qiu Xinyi didn't respond, and only cared about whether the money was in hand.
Of course, she held back in the end, because after all, she had to put a long line to catch big fish.Dai Meng had told her before that the ultimate goal of the operation was the drug trade.Other less serious crimes can be temporarily ignored, and Li Yuqi can even get involved if necessary.But how to grasp the specific degree is completely up to her.
After following for two weeks like this, one day, Qiu Xinyi suddenly called her home and dismissed everyone around her.There were only the two of them left in the room.
"I know you've been wondering what happened two weeks ago." Qiu Xinyi said. "But you didn't ask, that's good, it shows that you are still very smart."
"It's time for you to do something real," she said.
Then she gave Li Yuqi a task: to solve the man who had the photo.
"Actually, you don't have to do anything, just find copies of all the photos before three o'clock in the morning. Someone will do the rest."
Li Yuqi came to the man's house according to the address given by Qiu Xinyi.The man lived in the dirtiest place in the city, on the fifth floor of a dilapidated small building.She confirmed the location, tried it from the front door, and the lock seemed to be quite strong, so she walked around to the back of the building, took a closer look, and decided to go in through the window.
She climbed out of the fourth-floor stairwell window and saw her target just above the left.She tried to resist the urge not to look down at her feet.Climbing is a piece of cake for her, but at such a high place, her fear of heights cannot be controlled.
After much effort, she finally entered the room.This man's home really has nothing, it can be described as barren, but this is also good, it relieves her pressure of searching.She tiptoed through things, because the man slept in the bedroom.To her surprise, she soon found a stack of photos hidden in the cabinet.
Li Yuqi opened it and found that those photos were all photos of Qiu Xinyi and a man, and some of them looked very intimate.
She didn't know the man, so she left it alone, picked up the photo and was about to leave.But before she climbed the window, it occurred to her, maybe the man kept multiple copies?
So she searched again and again, but found nothing.Only the bedroom where the men slept remained.Heartbroken, she walked in.There seemed to be nothing in that bedroom either.She was about to leave when she suddenly saw a cloth bag under the man's head, which seemed to contain something as thick as a book.
"This is going to be a lot harder," she thought to herself.
She considered whether to knock the man unconscious or something.But maybe he slept more dead?She tried to approach the man slowly, but she didn't expect that the man suddenly woke up as soon as she approached.
When his eyes opened, the two looked at each other for three seconds.It may be that in the darkness, the man did not recognize the face in front of him.Then he suddenly jumped up like a frightened bird, and his hand was already reaching for the cloth bag.
It's a pity that Li Yuqi was one step faster than him, stepped forward first, bumped the man aside with her shoulder, and snatched the cloth bag in her hand.
The thing is in hand, but the man in front of him seems to be difficult to deal with.He got up from the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "You people who have no conscience, you will die a good death!"
Li Yuqi didn't have time to investigate the meaning of this sentence, because the man had already pounced on him.She was slow to react for a while, so she stretched out her arm to block it, but found that the man's strength was far greater than that of the previous fight, and she didn't know if it was because of being provoked or something else.She took a step back in pain, thinking it would be better to walk, so she ran towards the door.But within a few steps, she found that no one was chasing her.
Looking back, the man was clutching his neck desperately with both hands, his eyes were protruding, and his throat was making a gurgling sound. After a while, he stopped struggling and fell down limply.Behind him, a tall and thin figure slowly retracted the rope in his hand.
At this time, the clock on the wall pointed to exactly [-]:[-] in the morning.
"You're too slow." The figure came out from the shadows, and Li Yuqi saw it. It was a tall and thin woman with square cheeks and thin and long legs.
She glanced at the things in Li Yuqi's hands, she seemed completely uninterested, turned around and was about to leave.
Li Yuqi called her to stop: "Are you also from Mr. Wan?"
The woman didn't answer the question directly, but said softly: "I only care about my tasks, and you'd better only care about your own tasks." Then she disappeared without turning her head.
Li Yuqi slowly sat on the ground.The thrilling memory just now made her a little scared at the moment.Looking back, the man's body was still twisted on the ground in a strange posture.His eyes were still wide open, looking fixedly at her.
Apparently, Mr. Wan thought she was not capable of killing yet, so he sent another person.If one day, she needs to kill an innocent person herself, can she do it?
Li Yuqi sat there motionless, thinking for a long time.
When she handed over the photo to Qiu Xinyi, she seemed very satisfied.After briefly looking at the photos, in front of Li Yuqi, she pressed the lighter and burned all the copies.
"You're doing well," she said.
After this incident, she was truly in the group.
([-]) Prince
At first, Li Yuqi felt that she was like Qiu Xinyi's little assistant, and she had to do all the trivial things, from ordering takeaways and buying clothes to delivering messages and printing contracts.In the process, she probably figured out how the entire gambling business in City Y works.
Sometimes she feels that she is caught in the torn conflict.When chatting with people in the organization, the meaningless attitude of those people made her feel cold, but as time went by, she felt as if her own thoughts were slowly assimilated.There is nothing to sympathize with people who are addicted to gambling, and it is only the gambler mentality that is causing trouble as they get deeper and deeper.There is nothing to sympathize with usurers.But seeing that the methods of debt collection are becoming more and more cruel, she must control the little softness left in her heart and try not to show it.
Wan didn't look for her that day, she was bored by herself, so she went to the game hall, and she saw Yuan Danni bouncing on the dancing machine.When she got off the dancing machine, she saw Li Yuqi and ran over happily.
"Now you are a big celebrity in front of Mr. Wan, and the whole street is talking about you." Yuan Danni said.
The two of them ate, drank and played games as usual.Dani chattered about recent experiences, but Li Yuqi knew almost everything about it.It's just that when she talked about another new thing, she suddenly felt a move in her heart.
"Who is that person you just mentioned?" Li Yuqi asked.
"Oh, you mean the prince?" Yuan Danni said, "She seems to have changed her sex recently, and she has started to take care of things." She carefully picked the crayfish in her hand, and said, "The recent gossip says that she and Ms. Very recently, I heard that Sister Silence found several beautiful girls for her, but she seems to have no interest in them... It's strange if you say it, if it's not for women, why would she find Sister Silence?"
That's a good question.Li Yuqi thought to herself.
The first time Li Yuqi met the crown prince was Qiu Xinyi who took her to a dinner party, and Mr. Xu and the crown prince happened to be there.At that time, she felt that the reputation was really well-deserved-the tall Xu Zixuan seemed to stand out from the rest of the crowd.She has an evil temperament and seems to be indifferent to everything, but she takes care of the details of her life very well.To put it simply, at first glance, you think this is a prodigal son, but once you get in touch with him, you feel polite and decent.I don't know how this persona set her up.
At the dinner, Xu Zixuan took his real girlfriend with him, asking about her health, and taking care of her everywhere, but she couldn't see her rumored flirtatious nature at all.The girlfriend's name was Yuan Yuzhen. She was petite and cute, but she was obviously spoiled and behaved like a young lady.I heard that her family is in D city, and it is also a powerful family.She is currently studying at university in City Y.
In the middle of the dinner, someone suddenly came over and whispered something in Xu Zixuan's ear.She nodded immediately, apologized to the people at the dinner table, and left.That person Li Yuqi felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that it seemed to be from Miss Silencer's side.
She remembered what Dani had said, and her heart suddenly moved, so she excused herself to go to the bathroom and left the table.She quietly followed Xu Zixuan, watching her get rid of the people around her, and walked to the housing department of the hotel alone.Kong Xiaoyin was waiting for her at the stairs.
Li Yuqi had seen Kong Xiaoyin before, but it was the first time to observe him so closely.The woman had a graceful figure and was very predictable, even Li Yuqi couldn't move her eyes away.She smiled charmingly and touched Xu Zixuan's face with her hand, but the two of them did not make any further movements, and Li Yuqi could not see the expression on Xu Zixuan's face.The two then walked upstairs side by side.Li Yuqi followed and watched them enter a guest room on the third floor together.
There is a utility room next to the guest room.Li Yuqi went to try it, but the utility room was unlocked.So she went in and climbed out through the little window in the utility room.Just right, next to the balcony of that room.
She struggled over the railing and landed on the balcony.The French windows on the balcony were not closed, and through the tulle curtains, she saw that besides Xu Zixuan and Kong Xiaoyin, there was another person in the room.
The person was a slender woman, and the clothes could be seen to be expensive.She was lazily sitting on the sofa, but exuded an abstinent temperament.
Faintly heard Xu Zixuan's voice: "Why are you bringing Tako here now? The aftershock is right below."
Kong Xiaoyin whispered a few words to Xu Zixuan, but Li Yuqi couldn't hear him anymore.Seeing Xu Zixuan's serious expression, she waved her hand, Kong Xiaoyin smiled sweetly, and went out.
Only Xu Zixuan and the woman called tako were left in the room.The former turned around and pulled the latter up, and wrapped his arms around her waist very skillfully, and the two walked into the bedroom.
After about 15 minutes, Xu Zixuan came out, tidied his clothes, opened the door and went out.
Li Yuqi thought she probably returned to the banquet.It's just such a short time to come out and steal a love... It's really too human to fail.She was about to turn back the same way, when she heard a voice coming from the other side of the curtain, saying coldly, "You can come out now."
She was startled and almost fell off the balcony.But there was no other way, so he had no choice but to walk into the room helplessly.
The woman sat on the sofa and looked up at her.Suddenly, Li Yuqi understood why Xu Zixuan was with this woman - those eyes were so attractive.
"Are you sent by Yuan Yuzhen?" She asked softly, without any expression on her face.
Li Yuqi didn't know what to say.
The woman stood up and looked around her silently, as if she suddenly remembered something.
"You seem... to belong to Qiu Xinyi." Her expression suddenly changed, and her eyes became more vigilant.Almost instantly, she suddenly took out a pistol from nowhere and pressed it against Li Yuqi's eyebrows.
"Say, how much do you know?" The woman suddenly became fierce.
"I don't know anything." At this moment, her hairs stood on end.This was the first time she felt the fear of possible death.In fact, when I was in the police academy, playing with guns was a common thing.But the training strictly stipulates that guns cannot be pointed at people. This is the first time she has been pointed at by a gun.
But the woman suddenly put the gun down.She suddenly returned to that calm and useless look, and slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.
"It's good if she knows. Let's fight, it's lively." She narrowed her eyes, as if she wanted to rest.
"Let's go." She closed her eyes and said.
But Li Yuqi keenly discovered the hidden meaning in this sentence.
"Know what?" she asked.
The woman opened her eyes, looked at her in disbelief, and then burst out laughing: "You really don't know anything. Then forget it." She closed her eyes again, as if she didn't want to talk anymore .
Li Yuqi thought to herself, let's take the opportunity to leave at this time, and I will investigate the specific conspiracy slowly.She was about to return to the balcony, but she heard the woman say quietly behind her back: "This circle is too dirty. You haven't sunk too deep yet, go away."
After a few seconds, she said again: "Don't be like me, you have no choice."
From her words, Li Yuqi heard helplessness.Suddenly, countless thoughts turned in her mind.She could hear that this woman seemed to be a little tired of this organization, and also very helpless with her own life.But she is also a key figure - at least on Kong Xiaoyin's side, she is a very useful pawn.But obviously, she is not very satisfied with the fact that she is a pawn.
Maybe I can try to trick her a bit?Thinking of this, Li Yuqi made a bold decision.
She turned around and said to the woman, "Have you ever thought that you actually have another choice?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, which surprised Li Yuqi inexplicably, wondering whether the woman had been stimulated and had mental problems?
She laughed for a long time, until she burst into tears.Then she wiped her eyes and said, "Again. Anyway, this is retribution."
Then she stood up slowly, and suddenly faced Li Yuqi seriously.She spoke word for word.
"Are you a policeman?"
