white star stealing star

When Bai Xing and his party returned to Dead Rock Town, the sun had not yet set.

On the way, Xu Min and Lei communicated.

Ever since they discovered that Slim Man had escaped, they had contacted Lei. They believed that Slim Man would definitely find a way to return to Dead Rock Town and reveal their secret of killing people and abandoning corpses.

Lei was very scared after learning the news, but Bai Xing and Xu Min had already thought of excuses for their mother and son. Once the investigators from the public security station came to the door, they asked Lei to blame everything on them. It was Bai Xing and Xu Min who killed the person who thought of dumping the body. They were also the ones who kidnapped Lei's son and threatened Lei not to tell the truth.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Xu Min received a message from Lei Fa, saying that no one came to the door that day, whether it was a thin man or someone from the police station.

She couldn't be sure it was safe, but even after going out several times, she didn't find anyone watching their home.

The town of Dead Rock is still as normal as the day they arrived, with no tendency to impose martial law and searches due to murder cases.

To be cautious, when they returned to Death Rock Town, they dropped Alpha off two streets away from Rei's house, and then waited on the side of the road to watch what happened until Rei called Shirahoshi and the others. Already home.

"Didn't that guy come back?" Xu Min couldn't figure it out. She looked at Nick huddled in the corner through the rearview mirror, and could only talk to Bai Xing in a vague way.

Bai Xing shook his head, turned around and drove towards the Stoneman Hotel.

There was no suspicious danger outside the Stone Man Hotel either. Tinkerbell and her mother Shandia were cleaning the carapace and saddle of the yak at the door. When they saw the jeep approaching, they straightened up curiously and looked at the people in the car.

After Xu Min got out of the car, they greeted each other warmly.

They seemed to know the car and its owner. Bai Xing was in the driver's seat, and they heard Sandia ask Xu Min curiously, "Did you rent Nick's car to travel? You told me earlier, I will introduce you to him." A better car dealer, this Nick is not very honest in his dealings.”

Bai Xing kept staring at Nick from the rearview mirror. He just sat listlessly without any intention of asking for help. Even when Bai Xing looked at him after hearing these words, he quickly emphasized, "Ma'am, don't do this. Look at me, haven’t I already paid the price I deserve for my actions?”

"I'm just curious, why don't you have any intention of escaping and then reporting us?" Bai Xing asked him tentatively.

After being beaten so severely by her, didn't you think of reporting to the police station, taking back your car, and punishing her?
Moreover, Bai Xing and Xu Min never understood why the local public security agency did not find Lei's home to investigate. If it was just because Bai Xing and the others entered the country illegally and never showed their true faces in front of the thin man, it would be okay if the police station could not find them immediately. Give an explanation.

If Slim Man really reported on them, the first person who would be targeted by the security forces would be Lei. Immediate control and information were necessary procedures, so when they found out that Slim Man had escaped in Urbana County, they immediately followed Lei After ventilating, he prepared a reasonable mouth and provided it to her.

Could it be that the thin man did not come back alive, or did he not report to the police at all?

Who knew that Bai Xing's question made Nick smile helplessly.

"Ma'am, it's useless to report you. How do you think I dare to do... such a thing?"

The kind of thing he mentioned seemed to be a matter of leaving the travelers in the middle of the road.

Just now, Sandia also said that Nick was dishonest in his business dealings. It seems that he does this kind of thing from time to time.

"Why didn't it work?" Bai Xing asked.

"If you want people from the public security station to come forward to do things, you have to use this." Nick's index finger and thumb formed a virtual O, with a trace of ridicule and disdain for the public security office on his face.

"With money?" Bai Xing thought thoughtfully. "Does this have to be used to open any case? Even a murder case?"

"It can be said that I have often been accused by customers and taken to the police station. Generally, the police station will use the excuse of lack of manpower. If the customer insists on punishing me, maybe he can spend some money and let me go to jail for a few days. .”

Because Bai Xing took the initiative to talk to him, Nick seemed to relax a little. He put his hand on the back of his head, which was slightly swollen but still couldn't see clearly, and continued, "Those with a little power have long used various means to destroy children and their families. After being sent out, we are willing to stay here just so we can continue to make money. In their eyes, there is no difference between us and the dead, so what does it matter if we die early or later?" So that's it.

Shirahoshi suddenly thought of the gambling debt between Lei's husband and Big Beard.

People like Lei's family, who live conscientiously and abide by the law, don't know that the rules have changed.

Although Bai Xing knew this situation, he could not let down his guard easily.

That thin man... is still their biggest hidden danger right now. They have to leave Star Poplar, and before that, they must take the initiative to deal with this thorn.

"What about you?" After thinking about it, Bai Xing still felt that he had to seek help from some locals.

For someone like Nick, that just happens to be a choice.

"As long as you spend money, you can do anything?"

Nick was still thinking about what Bai Xing and the others were going to do next, when he felt that the deal seemed to be coming to his face.

He cheered up, stretched his head to the front row, and asked very actively.

"I can do any job, as long as the price you ask..." When it came to money, Nick bared his teeth and smiled, and with the injuries on his face, he looked both wretched and ugly.

Bai Xing leaned back and got a little further away from him before saying, "It's nothing, I just want to rent your car, send some things to the dock, and..."

"What else?"

"Also, I want you to help me find someone."

Xu Min quickly checked out of the house and asked the guide to move all the items she bought the day before to the trunk of Nick's Jeep with her.

Seeing Bai Xing rubbing his eyes tiredly several times, Xu Min also suggested that he drive the car even though he felt extremely tired.

Bai Xing shook his head and pointed at Nick.

"Let him drive."

Nick hurriedly agreed and exchanged places with Bai Xing.

Xu Min didn't know what Bai Xing and Nick said after she left, but judging from Nick's attitude, it seemed that they had reached some kind of deal.

Despite this, Xu Min still sat in the front row to prevent Nick from doing anything retaliatory and to stop him immediately.

Bai Xing squeezed into the back seat, leaned against the car door, and sighed heavily.

"You should get some sleep." Xu Min gave her a distressed look.

Bai Xing didn't say anything, just nodded.
