The years when I was an old man

The night was as cold as ice.

I walked over and picked up the car keys on the ground.

Slowly walked towards the two old Santanas on the other side.

When I came to the car, I looked at the front and back of the car carefully.There is no difference between this car and ordinary Santana.

Opening the door, I looked inside the car.

In the simple interior, there is still a strong smell of tobacco.

I turned on the lights and looked carefully inside the car.

Something is missing, I admit.

It's because I'm not as skilled as others, and my plan is not thorough enough.

But I don't know who the other party is, and I don't recognize it.

I was watching, and suddenly I heard Xiaoduo say curiously:

"The sixth day, what is this?"

In Xiaoduo's hand, she held a green oval fruit.

Before I could speak, Xiaoshi took it, glanced at it, and said:

"This is raw betel nut. Few people in the mainland eat this kind of betel nut. Even if they eat it, it is processed..."

"why?"

Xiaoduo asked curiously.

"Because raw betel nut contains a lot of alkaloids, the most important ones are arecoline and arecoline. People who eat it for the first time will experience chest tightness, shortness of breath, shortness of breath and accelerated heart rate. In severe cases, they may even become conscious. Unclear, fuzzy symptoms. Even in places where betel nuts are mainly produced, such as Yecheng and Yunnan, local people will not sell raw betel nuts to outsiders. I am afraid that they will not eat..."

Master Hong was listening, and quickly interjected:

"According to what you said, the person who robbed us should be from Yecheng or Yundian?"

He Xiaoshi didn't speak, but looked at me.

I didn't answer their words, turned my head to look at the people around me, and said:

"It's cold outside, everyone get in the car!"

Seeing that I seemed to be in a bad mood, everyone got into the car without saying anything.

I waved my hand at Master Hong again, and said:

"Master Hong, come with me!"

Master Hong and I walked to the side of the road, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Master Hong.

After lighting it, I took a big drag.

Slowly exhaling the smoke from my mouth, looking at the ink-like night in the distance, I whispered:

"Master Hong, someone has betrayed you. Who do you think this person is?"

"Little deer?"

Master Hong looked solemn, and turned his head to look in the direction of the car.

"Why him?"

"A total of eight of us participated in this operation. The only person who has little relationship with us is Xiaolu. Besides him, who else?"

Lord Hong expressed his own analysis.

I took another big puff of cigarette and said calmly:

"If it was the beginning, I might have thought the same way. But you have to know, the seven or eight people who just came here are very athletic, all wear guns, and they are very accurate with marksmanship. Xiaolu has followed Zheng Ruhuan's team all these years. By his side, there is only a personal bodyguard and an assistant. Do you think he has the ability to mobilize such a master?"

Master Hong frowned, pinching the filter tightly with his fingers.

"That should be someone from Yecheng. Raw betel nuts were found in the car just now..."

I turned my head to look at Lord Hong, and asked again:

"What do you think of the professionalism of those people just now?"

"Very high!"

"Did they mean to hurt us?"

I asked again, Master Hong shook his head.

"no!"

"Don't forget, you once let Fu Dahai, the son of Yecheng Gambling King Fu Ming, undress in public, humiliating. If they did it, do you think they would easily let us go?"

Master Hong was startled, and just about to say something, but I went on to say:

"The other party's professionalism is very high, and the car is also cleaned. But there is only one raw betel nut left. Don't you think that the other party is deliberately trying to lead our thoughts in the direction of Coconut City?"

"Is that someone from Yundian?"

If it is from Yunnan, I think we are all lying on the ground by now.

Master Hong left the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his feet.

"What do you think?"

I turned my head and glanced at the direction of the car, and said:

"I don't know either. But I know one thing. Among the eight of us, everyone is suspected except Xiaoduo..."

Master Hong was taken aback, he didn't expect me to say that.

Looking at me, he pointed to his nose and asked me back:

"including me?"

I nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, including you and me!"

"Including you?"

Master Hong was even more puzzled.

"Yes, including myself, I also have enough motives. After all, this is a huge amount of money, and I wanted to keep it for myself instead of sharing the spoils with you. I deliberately asked someone to rob the car. In this way, I can take away the money you won. Those, all swallowed up..."

Master Hong smiled wryly, and slowly shook his head.

"Then why is Xiaoduo not suspected?"

Thinking of Xiaoduo's expression when she saw the belongings in the basement, I couldn't help but smile.

"She's not that interested in money, as long as she has enough!"

Lord Hong also laughed, and asked again:

"Well, except for Xiaoduo, we are all suspects. Then tell me, what should we do next?"

"First of all, we must find out this person. Otherwise, we will die without knowing how to die. Since the other party wants to direct the disaster towards the direction of Yecheng, then we will follow their thinking. Next, we will focus on Yecheng .I want to go to Yecheng to have a look first. You stay in Bashu and wait for my notice. You should also take advantage of this time to observe these people carefully..."

"Is it too dangerous for you to go alone?"

Lord Hong asked with some concern.

"It's okay, I'll settle Li Jianlu's matter before I go!"
