The world begins with shameless people

The weather in Albuquerque is great, as always.

Ding Xiu took Daijiu in hand, and like the past two days, wandered off to buy a local newspaper, then read it while walking the dog.

The story of Bessie and Craig, a psychotic couple who stole more than 1.6 million US dollars, was recorded in the newspapers, but there was no progress.

In addition to this news, the only thing worth mentioning is that the DEA raided a system store located in the basement of a private house yesterday, arrested a group of people, and seized millions of dollars in stolen money.

The news was accompanied by a photo.

In the photo, both Hank and Gomez have proud smiles on their faces, looking very funny.

After flipping through it carefully to make sure there was no other interesting news, Ding Xiu found a trash can, threw away the newspaper, took Daijiu back, got in the car, and went to find the pet doctor.

In the pet hospital.

The pet doctor was a little surprised to see Ding Xiu again not long after, "It seems you really need to make money."

"Of course," Ding Xiu nodded with a smile.

"what can I do for you?"

"I need a detective to help me enter a house, find something, take it out and give it to me," Ding Xiu replied.

The pet doctor was still very smart and understood the meaning immediately, "You don't know where that thing is in that house?"

"I don't know," Ding Xiu responded simply.

"You need a master," the pet doctor said, "and the cost will not be small."

Ding Xiuxiao said, "It's not a problem. In fact, I need a specific person to do this. I believe this person treated a gunshot wound with you not too long ago."

The pet doctor's brows moved slightly. He was not only surprised, but also a little solemn. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Since you know this person, why don't you just go to him."

"Because I don't want him to know what I know about him," Ding Xiu replied directly. "He is very vigilant. If I contact him directly, I'm afraid the result will not be good."

"I understand," the pet doctor smiled faintly, "The price for letting me cooperate in this matter is not small, five thousand US dollars."

Ding Xiu paid directly.

"I am only responsible for contacting him. Whether he answers or not is not my problem," the pet doctor saw and immediately added.

"Okay, he is short of money. Tell him that no one will be injured in this job, the reward is fifty thousand US dollars, and the other party is not a good person," Ding Xiu said.

The pet doctor didn't know or was interested in knowing about Mike. He was only responsible for passing on the message and nodded.

Things are settled.

Ding Xiu took Daijiu away and drove to buy disposable mobile phones.

About half an hour later.

The pet doctor sent a text message, [He needs to meet in person, phone number: xxxxxx. 】

Ding Xiu had no ink marks and immediately called him.

"Huh?" Mike answered the phone and said as precious as gold.

"See you in half an hour on the top floor of the xx parking lot, is that convenient?" Ding Xiu knew the virtues of the old man Mike, so he asked briefly.

"Okay," Mike responded and hung up the phone.

Ding Xiu smiled, lit a cigarette, and drove towards the parking lot.

That parking lot is not too far from the courthouse.

to the place.

Seeing that it was almost time, Ding Xiu left Daijiu in the car, got out of the car, walked to the wall at the edge, called up the system, and took out the crow that was drawn from the treasure box.

The crow appeared and settled firmly on the wall.

'After I leave here later, be careful to see if anyone is following me,' Ding Xiu muttered silently.

This crow is very powerful and can communicate like this.

The dark crow blinked and soared into the sky.

About two minutes passed.

Mike's classic car appeared in Ding Xiu's peripheral vision.

Ding Xiu didn't look back.

He wanted to win Mike over to his side, and for that purpose, it was important for Mike to know that he was a serious person.

Therefore, be nice, don't appear frivolous, and don't make guys like Mike who are used to doing things in the same old way feel that he is unreliable.

Of course, if this thing really can't be done, then it will be rejected.

Mike is a good helper, that's all.

soon.

Mike stopped the car, got out and walked towards Ding Xiu.

The parking lot on this level is very empty, with almost no cars and no other people.

Hearing the footsteps, Ding Xiu turned around, kept a faint smile, looked at Mike, and said nothing.

So does Mike.

When Mike stopped, Ding Xiu pretended to see Mike for the first time and deliberately looked him up and down before speaking, "The pet doctor said you wanted to meet and talk."

Mike had already looked at Ding Xiu and frowned slightly. He felt that although Ding Xiu was young, he was not simple. He further felt that this job might cause unexpected trouble.

"That pet doctor said you are a lawyer?" Mike narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"I'm."

"I've met a lot of lawyers in Albuquerque, but I haven't heard of you."

"I've only been here a few days."

"As far as I know, lawyers' income is not low. I want to ask why you plan to commit a crime," Mike asked again.

"In the United States, everyone needs a lawyer, whether rich or poor," Ding Xiu said with a faint smile. "As a lawyer, I am a tool for making money. If I commit crime, it will be safer."

Mike said nothing, just looked at Ding Xiu.

Ding Xiu knew that Mike was evaluating whether he could take the job, so he said nothing more and waited quietly.

About ten seconds later.

Mike moved his mouth and said, "Fifty thousand dollars."

Ding Xiuxiao, knowing that this was done, said, "Fifty thousand US dollars, and a free legal defense for you in the future."

"Okay," Mike responded, and then asked, "What do you want, is the money that Craig Kettleman stole?"

Is it strange that Mike could deduce this?

Not surprising at all.

Ding Xiu nodded.

"When?" Mike asked.

"As soon as possible," Ding Xiu replied.

"I need ten thousand dollars for tools," Mike said.

"Okay, I'll get it from the car, wait a minute," Ding Xiu walked to the car.

When Mike came over just now, he had already seen and determined which car Ding Xiu was. After all, there was a very conspicuous husky in the Corolla.

Not long after.

"Get in touch again," Mike accepted the money and turned around to leave.

Ding Xiu was not in a hurry to leave. He waited for Mike to start driving and then got into the car in a leisurely manner.

**********

After leaving the parking lot, Ding Xiu moved towards the court, intending to check out the decoration of the front room and complete the relevant business procedures.

It took about two or three minutes.

The crow flying without a trace in the sky fed back the message.

Sure enough, Mike was following.

After receiving the feedback, Ding Xiu smiled.

‘You’re the one waiting for me,’ Ding Xiu thought to herself. She looked in the rearview mirror and found Mike’s classic car. She looked at it for a while, ignored it, and continued to move towards her destination.

When he arrived at the front house, he parked the car. Ding Xiu got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and took a puff. Then he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Mike, [My office will not open for business for a few days. Welcome to come back in a few days. 】

Not too far away, Mike, who had just stopped the car, saw this text message and immediately understood that Ding Xiu had already discovered that he was being followed. He couldn't help but feel shocked, and the expression on the old face became much more serious.

next second.

Mike shook his head slightly, stepped on the accelerator, and left.

Ding Xiu didn't look at it. He held a cigarette in his mouth and chatted with the workers, asking about the progress. After finishing the work, he drove to the relevant department and went through all the required procedures.

In a blink of an eye, night falls.

After having dinner in the hotel and leaving Daijiu behind, Ding Xiu went to the underground parking lot, drove the black van he bought before, and moved to Chuck's house.

It was still early, so he did not drive directly to that street. Instead, he found a parking lot a little away from the street, parked, and then let the crow fly over to keep an eye on him and remind him Jimmy's arrival.

the reason is simple.

The street was in a residential area, with pretty good houses on both sides.

That's the kind of place where the biggest problem for his operation isn't the cameras, it's the people who live there.

People there, as well as people in similar residential areas, especially the elderly, generally like to be nosy. If they find a strange vehicle staying for a long time, they will write down the license plate number and take a photo, or they will immediately call the police. .

This thing is called neighborhood self-governance, and it's something that slums like the South Side of Chicago don't have.

And he was driving such a van without checking, and he had illegal guns on him...

Ha ha.

If some old man or woman calls the police, she's screwed and has to go to jail.

Ding Xiu was also idle. Thinking of such a scene, she wanted to laugh.

When I came to this world, I didn't earn any merit at all, so I went to prison and started the prison crisis. What does this mean? I wanted to travel around the world with a sword, but I was arrested for wearing a sword as soon as I stepped out?

Quite funny.

****************

the other side.

Outside the backyard wall of Kettleman's house, in a hidden corner.

Mike's bald head was slightly illuminated by the moonlight.

Mike didn't realize it, watching quietly with his binoculars.

Not long ago, he had put ten thousand dollars coated with colorless fluorescent agent into a toy car in the backyard of Kettleman's house.

With his ability, it was easy to get in and out of an ordinary home like Kettleman.

Now, just wait for the Kettlemans to find out about the $10,000.

Mike said nothing and waited silently.
-

It's about ten o'clock in the evening.

The crow reported back the news that Jimmy's shit-yellow shabby car parked in front of Chuck's house.

Ding Xiu fell asleep in a daze. After receiving the feedback, she immediately woke up. While driving straight to Chuck's house, she took out her mobile phone and called the pet doctor.

It was so late, and the pet doctor was just getting ready to go to bed, but he still answered the phone.

"I need someone to help me drive a car in an hour," Ding Xiuzhi said when the call was connected.

"That's it?" the pet doctor asked.

"Ah."

"Evening service costs extra, fifteen hundred dollars."

"Okay," Ding Xiu said indifferently.

"address?"

Ding Xiu told Chuck's address, "There is a crappy yellow car on the roadside. There is a mailbox next to the car. The car keys are in the mailbox. There are also things like mobile phones and watches in the mailbox. Take all the things away. Take the car and destroy it.”

The pet doctor has been doing this for a long time, and he immediately understood what Ding Xiu meant when he heard it, "Okay."

call ended.

Ding Xiu put away her phone and concentrated on driving.

When they were almost approaching, Ding Xiu decisively turned off the car lights, and then, slowly, trying not to make too much noise, he parked the car in front of Jimmy's car, turned it off, and then put on his headgear, gloves, hat, and paper towels. He took off his shoe covers and looked around again to make sure that the houses around him were all dark. He got out of the car and walked softly towards the dark place next to the door of Chuck's house.

Standing in the darkness, Ding Xiu said nothing, waiting silently.

Jimmy usually only stays here for a short time and then leaves.

He planned to wait until Jimmy opened the door and kill Jimmy to avoid the trouble of unlocking.

Of course, if Jimmy drank too much today and stayed here, he would have no choice but to unlock the door.

Fortunately.

Only about ten minutes later, Jimmy's farewell to Chuck could be heard in the house.

Ding Xiu heard this, took out the pistol with the silencer installed, moved it slightly, moved to the door, and waited.

Five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds.

Jimmy reached the door and opened it.

Ding Xiu seized the opportunity, aimed at Jimmy's heart, and pulled the trigger before Jimmy had time to react.

Biu~

With one shot, Jimmy was shot in the heart and fell down with a look of horror on his face.

[Merit +6857. 】

Ding Xiu took two steps forward, entered the house, supported Jimmy in time, and pushed the door closed.

There are no electrical appliances in use in this house, so it is very quiet.

Therefore, although the gunshot was not loud, it was still heard by Chuck in the living room.

Chuck was a little confused and didn't realize what the sound was, so he asked, "Jimmy?"

Ding Xiu gently placed Jimmy on the ground, then leaned against the wall and waited for Chuck to come over.

He believed that Chuck, a lunatic like him, would definitely come over to see what was going on.

as predicted.

"Jimmy?" Chuck, who didn't expect anyone to come to kill him, picked up the kerosene lamp, asked again, and walked towards the door.

Ding Xiu held the gun and held his breath for one second, two seconds, three seconds. When he saw Chuck, he pulled the trigger.

biu~biu~biu~~

Three shots.

Chuck fell to the ground before he could make any sound.

[Merit +6945. 】

Ding Xiu put away his gun and rushed over quickly, catching the kerosene lamp before it fell to the ground and broke.

Chuck fell to the ground.

The first step of tonight's action ends here.

Ding Xiu was not idle and had no time to waste. He put down the kerosene lamp and went out without saying a word. He lowered his head and quickly walked to the van, opened the door and took out the two bags he had prepared. Plastic tubs of various things to return to the house.

Everything happened very quickly and almost no sound was made.

What's more, the crow didn't give any feedback.

That means no one noticed.

well.

After entering the house and closing the door, Ding Xiu put down the plastic basin, opened it, took out the hydrofluoric acid, towels, ammonia detergent specially used to deal with blood stains, etc., and then put Jimmy and Chuck into the basin one after another with great force. , then use a towel and detergent to clean up the blood that spattered on the ground and when the two people were shot.

After working on it for more than half an hour, it was finally basically clean.

Basically enough.

After breathing a long sigh of relief, Ding Xiu continued his work, bagging all the towel detergent and other items and placing them on the two bodies. Then, he opened the hydrofluoric acid and poured it inside.

Hydrofluoric acid is very powerful, and Ding Xiu didn't dare to pour it too fast.

Upside down. Suddenly, the crow reported that someone was approaching from outside.

Ding Xiu checked the time and guessed that the person called by the pet doctor had arrived, but to be on the safe side, he stopped what he was doing, got up and walked to the window, looking out through the gap.

I watched it for about two or three minutes.

I saw a black man wearing a hat walking to the mailbox, opening the mailbox, taking out everything inside, then getting into Jimmy's car, igniting it, and leaving.

Watching the crappy yellow car leave, Ding Xiu smiled slightly and turned back to continue working.

Before I knew it, it was past twelve o'clock at night.

The two plastic basins were all covered with lids, and Ding Xiu used industrial tape to seal the gaps tightly.

At this point, there is only the last step left.

Ding Xiu picked up the kerosene lamp, looked around for a while, and found a suitable place. He bent down and gently dragged the plastic basins one by one, dragging both plastic basins to the corner, and then went upstairs to move a quilt. , cover the two plastic basins, then go to the windows at the back of the house, and open several windows for some ventilation.

the end.

With the faint light of the kerosene lamp, Ding Xiu checked himself to make sure that no skin was exposed on his body and no DNA fingerprints were left. Then he carefully recalled what happened to ensure that nothing was missing.

Get it done.

Leave.

After walking to the gate and extinguishing the kerosene lamp, Ding Xiu opened and closed the door, lowered his head and walked quickly to the van, got in, and drove away in a leisurely manner.

Naturally, leaving those two plastic pots in the house is a big risk.

But, there is no way.

That thing was too heavy, and he would never be able to transport it alone.

We can only wait until tomorrow, and then find someone through the pet doctor, disguised as some kind of worker, to go in and remove the two plastic basins.

The problem is not big.

The neighbors won't be surprised that Chuck is a psycho and hasn't been out for a long time.

As for Jimmy…

Jimmy's disappearance will not arouse anyone's suspicion in a short period of time.

After all, Jimmy now lives in a nail salon and works during the day, and he and Kim are just friends for now... No one will miss him much if he disappears for a while.
-

Ding Xiu drove the car to the scrapyard where he bought the car.

The junkyard has long since closed.

Ding Xiu parked the car at the door, took out his mobile phone and called the owner of the scrapyard.

It took several phone calls to wake the person up.

The boss showed up, looked behind the door, recognized Ding Xiu, then opened the door and waved Ding Xiu in.

Ding Xiu drove the car in and parked next to the boss, "I need to destroy this car immediately."

The boss lit a cigarette and nodded, "This time is considered overtime, and you need to pay extra."

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "No problem."

The boss pointed in the direction, "Drive that way."

Ding Xiu drove the car to the place designated by the boss and turned off the engine. Ding Xiu took the clothes she had prepared to change and got out of the car.

As soon as I got off the car, my phone vibrated.

It's Mike calling.

"I've got the things, where can I meet you?" Mike said simply and clearly.

'That's just right, no need to call a taxi,' Ding Xiu said happily, and informed him of the address of the scrapyard.

"Be there in thirty minutes," Mike said, hanging up the phone.

Ding Xiu put away her cell phone, walked aside, took off all her clothes except her underwear, put on new clothes, and then lit them on fire.

The boss, who was already driving the forklift, glanced at Ding Xiu twice, said nothing, and worked silently.

After changing clothes, Ding Xiu lit a cigarette, found a place to sit down, and quietly watched the owner of the scrapyard at work, destroying the van.

Strange to say.

This kind of thing that should be classified as destruction made him feel very happy just looking at it.

Mike arrived at the scrapyard a few minutes early. He stopped at the door without coming in and called Ding Xiu.

The owner of the scrap yard is basically done.

The van was flattened into a long object, and was treated like garbage and stuffed into a pile of other stacked garbage.

Ding Xiu paid the money, said goodbye to the scrapyard owner with a cigarette in his mouth, and walked out.

"Is it convenient to take me back?" Ding Xiuxiao asked as she walked to Mike's car.

Mike glanced at Ding Xiu, said nothing, and just nodded.

Ding Xiu saw this, threw away the cigarette, opened the door, sat in the passenger seat, and then bent down to open the handbag at his feet.

There were stacks of US dollars in the handbag, which looked really shocking.

Mike asked, "Where?"

"XX Hotel," Ding Xiu replied, then took out ten wads of bills, or fifty thousand US dollars, from his handbag and handed it to Mike.

Mike took the money, put it under the seat without counting it, and started the car.

In the darkness of the second half of the night.

In the car, neither of them spoke for a while.

Ding Xiu turned to look out the window.

Albuquerque at this time has a rare sense of tranquility.

for a long time.

Although he knew the answer to this question, Ding Xiu still pretended not to know and said, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah," Mike answered, looking straight ahead without looking at Ding Xiu.

"Why don't you take the money?" Ding Xiu asked.

Mike was unsmiling and his expression did not change at all, "I collect money and do things. I don't take anything I shouldn't take."

Look, what an interesting old man.

Although, it's not a good thing...

In fact, it's quite interesting that in Ding Xiu's opinion, there really wasn't anything wrong with Mike at this period... He was threatened and bewitched by Uncle Fried Chicken. Only after following Uncle Fried Chicken did he Got a lot of problems...

"You're a cruel uncle fried chicken," Ding Xiu thought to herself and smiled, "My law firm is short of a detective. Are you interested?"

When Mike heard this, he turned his head, glanced at Ding Xiu, and then looked back, "Not interested."

Faced with this answer, Ding Xiu was not surprised and said calmly, "You don't need to kill people, and you don't need to deal with good people and normal people."

"Besides, I am a lawyer and I can ensure that your income is completely legitimate and legal."

"I think, at your age, you probably don't make money for yourself."

Mike was silent and said nothing.

Ding Xiu didn't say much.

Winning Mike can't be accomplished in a day or two, and there's no point in rushing.

This old man Mike is very difficult to deal with, so you have to take your time.

The car became quiet again.

Arrive at hotel.

"Thank you," Ding Xiu picked up a bag of money, got out of the car and walked to the hotel.

**************

Mike looked at the hotel for a short while and then left, returning to his small house.

Because he was used to working the night shift, even though it was already past three in the morning, Mike still didn't feel sleepy. He went home, took some food from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and started watching TV, while thinking about Ding Xiu's appearance in the scrapyard.

Outside the scrapyard, the first time he saw Ding Xiu, he discovered the fact that Ding Xiu had a gun on him.

There is a gun.

That kind of time in that kind of junkyard.

No car back yet.

Combining these three points together, it is not difficult for Mike to guess what Ding Xiu did tonight.

He believed that Ding Xiu was likely to kill someone tonight.

The question is, who was killed? Are they killing good people, ordinary people, or bad people?

For him, this issue is quite important.

He wanted to find out, made a note of it in his mind, and decided to inquire about it tomorrow.

As for the job invitation proposed by Ding Xiu...

For the time being, he was slightly interested, just a little bit.

Whether you want to accept it or not depends on finding out what kind of person Ding Xiu is.

***********

In the hotel room.

[Task progress: 156 million/5000 million. 】

After taking a shower, I brought up the system and took a look.

This is almost one-thirtieth of the way done. Next, if we get the fraud case in the nursing home and get the settlement money as quickly as possible, the progress can be increased a lot.

Ding Xiu smiled, looked at Dai Jiu sleeping on the sofa, and the crow sleeping on Dai Jiu, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

a new day.

Wake up.

Ding Xiu sent Crow to Chuck's house to monitor what was going on there. Then, he drove Corolla and took Daijiu to the pet doctor.

"You're a little too busy," the pet doctor couldn't help but say after seeing Ding Xiu constantly in just a few days.

"After today's busy work, I can rest for a while," Ding Xiu smiled back.

The pet doctor shook his head noncommittally, "How can I help you today?"

"I need two strong people to help me move something from a house to the desert, dig a hole and bury it," Ding Xiu said.

When the pet doctor heard this, he immediately knew what Ding Xiu wanted to bury. He raised his eyebrows and said, "This kind of work requires extra money."

"How much?" Ding Xiu asked.

"Twenty thousand dollars per person, my fee is also twenty thousand dollars, a total of sixty thousand dollars."

"Okay," Ding Xiu simply agreed.

It's just money, it doesn't matter.

"Okay," the pet doctor smiled, "tell me the details."

Ding Xiu reached into his pocket and took out the door key to Chuck's house and handed it to the pet doctor, "At the address I called you at night, let someone go in and walk to the east corner of the living room. There is a quilt in the corner. Under the quilt There were two very large plastic tubs.”

"The plastic basin is dark blue and sealed. There is a bunch of liquid inside. The liquid is acid and highly corrosive. Therefore, it must be kept stable during transportation and cannot be tilted."

"In addition, these two people need to change into uniforms, preferably the uniforms of the moving company... In short, they cannot arouse suspicion."

The pet doctor understood, "Yeah."

The conversation is over.

Ding Xiu paid the money and left with Daijiu.

********

It's about nine o'clock in the morning.

Kettleman's house.

The lunatic Bessie Kettleman screamed at the top of her lungs when she discovered that the money was missing.

The screams were deafening.

Craig Kettleman heard it and ran over.

"The money is gone! The money was stolen!!" Bessie cried when she saw Craig.

Craig looked cowardly and panicked, "Who stole it? Could it be that you put the money somewhere else?"

"I didn't!! Before I went to bed last night, I came to see the money. The money is here!!" Bessie's face was filled with despair and anger. "Someone came and stole the money while we were sleeping!! That was us. Money!"

"What should we do?" Craig had no idea at all.

"Call the police! We must call the police! We must get our money back!" Bessie was a lunatic and had no brains. At the same time, the only thing left in her head was the desire for the money. Bessie shouted.

Fortunately, Craig was a little calmer. When he heard this, he hurriedly said, "We can't call the police. Once we call the police, we will be finished..."

After being reminded like this, Bessie reacted. First she was shaken, and then she burst into tears, "Then what should we do? That's our money, so much money..."

Not long after.

The mentally ill couple hugged each other and collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down their faces and howling incessantly.

******

Around ten thirty in the morning.

Two strong men, one black and one white, drove a truck with the logo of a certain moving company and arrived at the door of Chuck's house. They got out of the truck, picked up the trailer, and went straight to Chuck's house.

Arrived at the gate.

The white man pretended to knock on the door, and the black man took the opportunity to open the door with his key.

The two strong men entered the house smoothly and quickly found the two plastic buckets.

"Damn! This is too big," the white man exclaimed.

The black man was a little curious, "Tell me, what is inside?"

The white man frowned slightly, "The doctor said it was acid inside. I guess there are corpses soaked in the acid."

The black man nodded, "Will the corpse be corroded cleanly?"

"Probably," the white man replied, "my chemistry knowledge is not that good."

"Me too," laughed the black man.

"Okay, let's get to work," the white man greeted.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, carefully placed the two plastic basins on the trailer one after another.

More than ten minutes passed.

The two drove straight to the desert.

************

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

Because he needed to work last night, he temporarily changed shifts with his colleagues. Mike, who was working in the guard box in the parking lot of the court, raised his head and pinched his eyebrows.

There was no news in today's newspapers or on the radio that someone had been killed at that time of night.

This gave Mike a headache, and at the same time, he looked at Ding Xiugao a little bit.

McKibben is certain that Ding Xiu killed someone during the night.

But now, the police have not received any news.

This means that Ding Xiu has disposed of the body.

This is no simple matter.

In Mike's opinion, if this is the case, it means that Ding Xiu, a lawyer who has just arrived in Albuquerque, is not the first to kill someone. He is most likely a serial murderer who has killed many people before.

Mike became interested in Ding Xiu.

************

noon.

HHM Law Firm, next to the wall of the underground parking lot.

Kim took a drag on her cigarette, took out her phone, and called Jimmy.

[The user you dialed is currently out of the service area, please call again later. 】(End of this chapter)
