Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 954 Those little-known secrets will eventually pass away with the wind

"Hello."

Chen Yan had already changed to a new mobile phone, so the other party obviously couldn't know his identity from the mobile phone number itself.

"what do you want?"

Bar Darkrod's inquiry was clean and neat, and he obviously didn't believe in any behavior "based on a sense of justice and moral cleanliness".

Chen Yan didn't change his voice, and said straightforwardly:

"I want to get rid of these people, but there is no good way, so I report to you."

Baal Darkrod asked:

"What is the motivation for the report?"

Obviously, the simple act of reporting cannot satisfy the other party. Once the motive is not pure, it may become the target of liquidation with the person being reported.

Chen Yan replied as a matter of course:

"Do it for the sky."

Such an unbelievably childish answer was affirmed by Bar Darkrod:

"As it should be."

After a short thought, Bar Darkrod said:

"Thank you for your report. This is a typical murder. I will deal with it as appropriate."

"In addition, Mr. Chen, it is very correct that you can recognize people like Li Shoucheng and take measures against it. You have corrected your erroneous path, which is good for everyone."

The other party obviously recognized his voice, and then said these inexplicable words.

After reaffirming Chen Yan, Bar Darkrod said goodbye to him.

A few seconds after hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door outside the ship building.

Chen Yan sighed, took out the pistol at his waist, hid it in the sleeve of the black windbreaker, and went to open the door of the ship building.

"Mr. Chen."

Standing outside the door was Li Shoucheng, who was carrying a low-key black leather briefcase with retro textures. He changed the classical attire of Tianshenzhou, a gang leader in the past, and only wore what looked like a very ordinary William Adams staff attire Cotton jacket and a pair of gray jeans as dark as the sky.

Li Shoucheng's eyes didn't seem to pass over Chen Yan's pistol hidden in the sleeve of his black windbreaker.

He took out a document from his briefcase, and said with a smile so gentle that he couldn't tell that he was a gang boss:

"According to the previous plan, this is the dry stock of the company."

Looking at the documents in his hand, Chen Yan recalled the counterfeit's hint to Li Shoucheng: as long as Li Shoucheng took out the shares, he would guarantee that Li Shoucheng would leave the first island chain safe and sound, and even participate in the transfer of Z Group to the second island chain. In the process of business development.

Half of this sentence is true and half is false. The true part is that the counterfeit really wants Li Shoucheng's cadre shares. The purpose is to cut off the gang background of Z Group and Li Shoucheng, and pave the way for his future political marriage.

The fake part is that he is not prepared to let Li Shoucheng leave the first island chain safe and sound, and letting Li Shoucheng participate in the business of the second island chain is a 100% false promise-the counterfeit has already moved since he wanted to take back the dry stock. In order to kill Li Shoucheng to avoid future troubles.

What surprised Chen Yan was that, judging from his current and previous synaesthesia, Li Shoucheng should have always known what the counterfeit was thinking.

Since he knew, why did he dare to come?

Chen Yan thinks that things are not as simple as he imagined.

He thought that Li Shoucheng must have some bargaining chip that he hadn't offered.

He wanted to know what the bargaining chip would be in exchange for the gangster's life.

Chen Yan did not take the document from Li Shoucheng's hand, but just looked at him and said:

"Why do you think you will be able to leave the island chain?"

He didn't use the tone of the question sentence, which made the sentence sound very gloomy even if the tone was ordinary.

The smile on Li Shoucheng's face gradually disappeared.

He put the documents back into his briefcase, and his slow movements made his posture look a little embarrassed.

At this moment, the time seems to have returned to the time when the two met for the first time a month ago. At that time, Li Shoucheng was standing on the deck in exactly the same position as he is now. At that time, Chen Yan was in the same position when he left the ship building and came to the deck. the difference.

Time has passed, and the situation of the two has changed.

"In addition to dry stocks, I also have a document."

Li Shoucheng looked at Chen Yan, although his eyes were full of hostility, but they were no longer as fierce as before.

"That document records the important criminal records of all gangs from the Monka era to the mechanical hive era - enough to convict them with the death penalty."

He pressed down the brim of his hat, as if to avoid the cold wind after nightfall.

"Audio recordings, videos, some transaction lists and copies, some important physical evidence hidden by me, the contact information of witnesses of some vicious incidents, the list of ghosts placed by the gang inside the mechanical hive, evidence of gang members bribing officials, The records and even the invoices of the logistics center extracting oil and water from outsourcing business in the era of mechanical hive large infrastructure..."

Li Shoucheng watched Chen Yan's gradually changing eyes and knew that he had made the right bet.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he issued the last killer move.

"And... the inner ghost of Group Z."

Chen Yan didn't speak.

He didn't expect Li Shoucheng to have such a method.

The value of these things has far exceeded the value of Li Shoucheng himself. If Li Shoucheng can be exchanged for these things, Chen Yan thinks that this deal is not impossible.

"Boss Li is very calculating." Chen Yan said lightly.

Li Shoucheng smiled and said, "It's just a means of self-protection."

The other party showed sincerity, but Chen Yan was still aggressive, not only because he knew that the other party had no choice, but also because he hated the other party's own existence:

"Why prepare such a thing?"

Chen Yan asked:

"Some things in the past are in the past, and it will be difficult to track down in the future, so things like video and audio recordings must be recorded on the spot-how did you prepare these things back then?"

Chen Yan presses on step by step:
"Back then, you were a gangster at the bottom of society. How could you think of such a backhand? Similarly, even if you had money back then, where would you get a recording device? Mobile phones are a new thing that just appeared this year, and You can't afford something as expensive as a video recorder ... and the video recorder can't record these secret things."

Li Shoucheng replied calmly:
"I didn't personally purchase those devices, and it wasn't my intention to do these things.

People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. When I was weak and young, my actions were not controlled by myself.

When it comes to why I do these things, and why I do these things, I have to talk about Lord Baer Darkrod. "

Li Shoucheng gave this unbelievable but factual answer:
"Back then, my brother and I, as intelligence personnel, were brought here by Lord Baer Darkrod, and by accident, we became gang members in Monga.

My brother and I serve Lord Baal Darkrod—the disgraceful us lurking behind the Empire and going about our daily lives as gang members.

The large amount of information we collected for Lord Baer Darkrod became important law enforcement evidence for the temporary court of the Days Island Pioneer Group in the monka era, and the gang distribution data we collected became the basis for Lord Baer Darkrod to transform Monka Important reference.

My brother died for it. "

There was sadness in Li Shoucheng's mood.

Synaesthesia told Chen Yan that this sadness came naturally.

"After the death of my brother, I continued to do civil intelligence work for Lord Baal Darkrod.

In the era of mechanical hives, the evidence I collected became important evidence for Lord Baal Darkrod's identification of the gunpowder shop's crimes.

The conflict that broke out at the banquet that led to the destruction of the Gunpowder Store was also because Mr. Baer Darkrod used the evidence I collected to confirm the criminal behavior of everyone in the Gunpowder Store, which aroused resistance from the other party and led to the banquet ending in a bloody massacre end. "

Hearing these words, Chen Yan didn't know what to say.

As far as the information of synesthesia is concerned, Li Shoucheng did not show any emotion of "deception".

Even if Li Shoucheng was really deceiving, those documents could not deceive anyone, as long as he took the documents for verification and comparison, he would definitely get the real result—so there was no need for him to deceive.

With the empire's current transportation network and the development of the Internet, the difficulty of finding someone from the sea of ​​people has been greatly reduced. As long as Li Shoucheng is still on the surface, if you want to find him, you will be able to find him.

Therefore, there is no need for Li Shoucheng to deceive.

What he wants is an exchange, a transaction, an equivalent exchange that allows him to be completely free, so the contract based on the equivalent exchange is the basis for him to be free.

The synaesthesia told Chen Yan that the seemingly calm Li Shoucheng was already in a state of "ready to die at any time".

'He probably already knew that I was a sensate. '

'Or maybe not. '

’ Knowing it or not, he was ready for any reaction I had. '

'I don't want to get memories from his dead body...

I want to be decent. '

Chen Yan understood these things, so the silence deepened. He knew what kind of impact these documents would have——

Most of the reshuffle inside the logistics center, the large-scale liquidation of the gangs inside the mechanical hive, the old cases will be brought to the front and affect more people, and... the situation of Lord Barr Darkrod himself completely changed.

Of course Li Shoucheng knew about these things.

The importance of these matters is the basis for him to stand in front of Chen Yan and propose a deal.

"Finally, these documents contain all the conveniences that Lord Barr Darkrod has provided for me—most of them are against the law and against social morality."

"I hope that all the above-mentioned documents can be used in exchange for me to sell dry shares and get the right to be free."

From this, Chen Yan understood that "selling dry stocks" was Li Shoucheng's bottom line.

He recalled Li Shoucheng's words, and some chaotic thoughts inevitably appeared in his mind:
Klein's guess is correct. Baer Darkrod is Li Shoucheng's backstage... No wonder Klein has been unable to find evidence. It turns out that Li Shoucheng was originally an intelligence officer. Such a person must have anti-reconnaissance methods. '

It's a pity that Chen Yan can't find an excuse to contact Li Shoucheng now, and can't get his memory.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan also knew the reason why Li Shoucheng asked him to listen to the conversation before - Li Shoucheng wanted to let Chen Yan know what he was doing - he knew that he would do these things in such a dangerous way that if he was discovered, he would be cut off. thing.

Li Shoucheng looked into Chen Yan's eyes:
"Are these chips enough for me to leave?"

Li Shoucheng told Chen Yan firmly in his tone that he must have the means to keep the secret from being robbed.

Chen Yan said:

"enough."

The previous mobile phone has been destroyed by Chen Yan, so Chen Yan can't directly operate the modular ship, he can only go back to the ship building and operate the ship to leave the dock of Days Island.

Soon after leaving the coastal waters, Chen Yan manipulated the boat to put down the motor boat with a closed cabin—this was originally a lifeboat carried on board.

Li Shoucheng handed over one of the contracts to Chen Yan:
"This is the transfer contract for my part of the shares, and my name has been signed.

You only need to sign and go to the logistics center for certification to get this part of the shares. "

Chen Yan accepted the contract without saying a word.

After getting on the motor boat and inspecting the motor boat, Li Shoucheng said to Chen Yan:

"After I leave, I will tell you the news."

Chen Yan said in a deep voice:
"You better do it."

Li Shoucheng nodded and said:

"I want freedom with a price, not tricks."

Not paying the price means that the matter will not end, which is not what Li Shoucheng wants.

What he wants is to sever the past, so that the wealth in his hands can be used freely and completely legally, and the peace of day and night without worrying about being targeted by killers.

He turned on the engine of the motorboat, and as the sound of the engine rang loudly, the sound of undulating waves appeared, and the motorboat moved forward into the night.

Li Shoucheng's back gradually receded from Chen Yan's field of vision until it turned into a small dot, and then was covered by the slightly fluctuating waves, completely disappearing in the moonless night.

Chen Yan looked at the motorboat that disappeared into the night, and felt very complicated emotions in his heart, including excitement and regret, excitement and apprehension. He could easily understand other people's emotions through synaesthesia, but he could not understand his own complex emotions. specific interpretation.

A moment later, Chen Yan's phone rang.

Li Shoucheng's voice came from the phone:

"I've put all the information I've collected over the years into a USB flash drive, the criminal evidence of the gangs that used to exist on Days Island, and... the insider of the Z Group.

The USB flash drive must be in the second drawer on the right side of the group chairman's desk by now. "

He knew that Chen Yan would agree.

No one can refuse such valuable information.

But he can only hand over this information. He is just a former generation of intelligence personnel who is so humble that he does not even have the citizenship of the empire. The break with Bar Darkrod makes him have no living soil on Days Island. Other than Baal Darkrod, he had no, could not find, and had no access to other powers that could afford him refuge.

His only choice was Chen Yan.

Li Shoucheng showed a completely different personal quality from the past. The contrast is too great. If it wasn't for the synesthesia to recognize Li Shoucheng's exact same emotional characteristics as the past, Chen Yan almost thought that Li Shoucheng in front of him was also occupied by a backup poison. The condition of the magpie's nest.

While Chen Yan was thinking wildly, Li Shoucheng's voice came out again from the phone.

"There is someone who needs your attention."

Ok?
Is this... a gift not for sale?

Or maybe... another trap?
