Chapter 291: Halfway Murder (Supplemented on May 4)
"Although Lucy didn't personally give the order, so many people can be mobilized, and Mr. Doll alone cannot do it." Taylor took another puff of cigarette, and the nicotine relaxed his tense nerves a little, but only a little.
"Why did they kill me?"
"I don't know." Taylor replied almost subconsciously, and it seemed like he wasn't lying.
"Yeah?"
Xing Ze's suspicious look made the gang boss nervous. He said again: "I didn't lie. It's been now. I have no reason to lie to you."
"I hope so, man, I hope so."
Just when Xing Ze was about to ask about something else, a black shadow fell from the sky and hit the hood of the car directly. The entire car sank forward, and the impact caused the front tires to make a screeching sound, causing sparks to fly for a moment.
Taylor, who was not wearing a seat belt, slammed forward, but fortunately, the blue beak turned into a whip and pulled him back. Xing Ze was also fixed in his seat by Lan Beak. He looked at the monster that was halfway out of the way.
Its scaly, hairless body was packed with sinewy muscles, and it was six feet tall—or even taller if it weren't for its stooped back. In the open scarlet mouth, a snake kept twisting and hissing.
One man and one snake struck almost at the same time. The snake man shattered the windshield with one punch. Blue Beak immediately blocked Xing Ze. The fist failed to break Blue Beak, but it instead stabbed Taylor with the spear in its hand.
The latter hurriedly hid behind him, like a frightened rabbit, screaming repeatedly, "Damn it, damn it, what the fuck..."
Xing Ze swung the car in the direction, and before the spear stabbed Taylor, the car made a big turn. The reptile monster was unsteady and swayed, and the spear grazed Taylor's shoulder and stabbed into the seat.
"Gun, hell, give me the gun!" the gangster yelled.
"Shut up!" Xing Ze yelled fiercely. The blue beak turned into a black blade and stabbed directly at the snake man who was still trying to maintain balance. However, the snake man twisted his waist and dodged, and the black blade rubbed his chest. It just left a wound on his chest.
"Hiss—" the snake man let out an angry growl. It turned around and wanted to launch the next attack, but Xing Ze had already used Apparition to come behind it.
Even though Blue Beak was separated from Xing Ze's body, he still launched an attack, and the black blade turned into countless spikes and attacked the snake man.
But without absorbing the black iron, the hardness of these spikes is not too high. The monster's tough scales blocked most of the spikes, but some of the spikes slipped away from its body.
While you were dying of illness, Xing Ze reached out and grabbed the snake man's tail and threw it out with all his strength.
The snake man fell to the ground and rolled a few times to relieve the impact. It felt a sense of suffocation as soon as it stood up.
Xing Ze activated the breath of the abyss stored in Blue Beak's body. Since ordinary wizard magic has little effect on these four-legged monsters, let's try the magic of dreams.
Judging from how uncomfortable the snake man was, the Breath of the Abyss must have had an effect. Xing Ze let Lan Beak continue to cast spells while he rushed towards the snake man.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party immediately jumped off the road and headed towards the unwilling sea. Xing Ze has no intention of continuing to pursue him. The most important thing now is to get out of here quickly.
In an isolated and helpless situation, he didn't know how many potential enemies there were. If a few more snakemen came, his magic power would not be able to sustain it.
After hurriedly returning to the car and pulling out the spear, Xing Ze started the car and continued driving to the police station. As long as he passes the fork in the road ahead, he can return to the main road, and there will naturally be more cars.
The Old Record Gang wouldn't dare cause trouble anywhere near the city unless they wanted to become enemies of the entire Liverpool police force.
Taylor, the co-pilot, was so frightened that he picked up the crushed cigarette pack from under the seat, pulled out a folded cigarette and held it in his mouth.
"Damn, what the hell is that?"
Xing Ze frowned and did not reply. The appearance of the snake man and the ambush of the Old Record Gang could not be a coincidence. In other words, the Old Record Gang had a certain connection with these monsters.
But judging from the snake man's actions just now and Taylor's expression at this moment, this connection should only exist among a few people in the Old Record Gang.
"Tell me, is the Old Record Gang trafficking in people?"
Upon hearing this, Taylor's hands trembled visibly, and he grinned, "I...I don't..."
Before he could finish his words, Xing Ze punched him in the chest. Before he could scream, Xing Ze pulled his hair and pushed him toward the broken windshield.
The sharp broken glass was less than a finger thick from Taylor's eyeballs. The horrified gang boss sighed at Xing Ze's precise control of force and distance, and loudly begged for mercy: "No, no, no, I say, I say."
Xing Ze turned most of his attention to the road ahead and urged: "Speak quickly."
"Yes, it is human trafficking. But, this matter is not my responsibility."
Xing Ze pretended to use his strength and said: "Give me your name, man."
"I swear to God, I don't know, I really don't know. The internal businesses are all run separately, and the people in charge don't know each other."
"There has to be a leader, right?"
"Lucy is personally in charge of human trafficking."
Xing Ze let go of his hand and frowned. Lucy was responsible for it herself? This is difficult. If we can find some lower-level personnel, this matter will be much easier to handle.
The senior members of the Old Record Gang were obviously related to the snake people. If he went there rashly, he would only alert the snakes. However, if he could find the route where they kidnapped people and cause some trouble, the poisonous snakes hiding in the caves would not be able to help but show their fangs.
No one would watch their interests being damaged. The ambush at the dock and the snake people just now explained everything very well.
This is also the bad consequence of becoming famous. In the investigation, Xing Ze did get help from various forces, but he would also become a target that his opponents wanted to eliminate.
If the investigation continues, there will probably be more and more ambushes and assassinations, and not just against him, but Ellie will also be in danger.
Thinking of this, he stepped on the accelerator, and the wind whistled in the car without a windshield. The car quickly crossed the road and headed towards the police headquarters.
Carmichael did not expect Xing Ze to come back, and he also brought Taylor with him. After briefly explaining the incident to Rayben and Harris, he handed them Taylor, whose memory had been modified.
As for Carmichael, he could not be convicted until the evidence was conclusive. However, the chief's meaning was very clear. Not only did he have to hand over his badge and gun, but he also had to cooperate with the necessary investigation. As long as Harris could pry open Taylor's mouth, Carmichael would not be able to escape.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Xing Ze walked out of the police station. He walked towards a Western fast food restaurant not far away. He and Ellie had an appointment to meet here.
