Firepower is king

Frank's eyes were very red, he was exhausted and very sleepy, but after getting used to this kind of life, it was no problem to let him stay up for another twenty-four hours.

"How was your observation?"

John, who had just walked in, didn't answer Frank. He walked directly to the refrigerator, took out a can of Coke, opened it and drank it in one gulp.

Burping loudly, John took out the second can of Coke, opened it again, and drank half of the can in one breath while standing next to the refrigerator.

Rubber said impatiently: "We are all waiting for your observation results, what about the boy?"

Frank frowned. He stared at his bloodshot eyes and said, "Are you stimulated by something? Didn't you quit Coke? Why did you start drinking it again?"

John walked to the sofa with the remaining half can of Coke and sat down. He took a deep breath first, and then said in a very slow tone: "I lost to that kid a Smith \u0026 Wesson 1911 , sixteen hundred dollars, captain, you can afford it."

Frank frowned and said, "What happened?"

John stopped talking and closed his mouth. After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth to speak, but then closed his mouth again.

Rubber said angrily: "Tell me, are you stupid?"

"I do have a little... uh, I need to organize my words. Why don't I talk about the bison first? How is he? Can he be buried normally?"

Frank shook his head and whispered: "There is some trouble. It is difficult to issue a normal death certificate. If you bribe the coroner to forge the cause of death, it will cost at least twenty thousand dollars. There are too many joints to open, and the bison does not have any Insurance, there is no inheritance to be had, and there is little point in forging a normal death. We all feel that the money should be used to forge a death certificate, and it is better to pass it on to his mother."

John sighed: "Yes, can you contact his mother?"

Frank nodded and said, "I have his mother's phone number and address."

"When will you be buried?"

Rubber said from the side: "We bought a cemetery in a private cemetery. The bison can be buried in it, but there can't be a funeral or any ceremony, so we didn't wait for you and buried him today."

John frowned and said, "I still want to attend the funeral."

"I told you, there will be no funeral."

After Rubber finished speaking impatiently, he waved his hand and said, "Now tell me your observation results. How about that boy?"

John said with a sad face: "The bison died like this. There was no funeral, no memorial ceremony, no relatives or friends, no wife or children. He was buried in a random place by the three of you. You... …Don’t have any ideas?”

Rubber whispered: "At least he still has a coffin, a priest prayed for him, and a cemetery. What else do you want?"

The captain sighed and whispered: "Yeah, at least we buried him. As a mercenary, the fate of the bison is pretty good."

John made the sign of the cross on his chest, muttered something under his breath, raised his head and said, "So how much do we give the bison?"

Frank whispered: "The commission this time is 70,000 yuan, but if the middleman gives up the commission, we can get 100,000 yuan. In addition to the 100,000 yuan compensation from the middleman, each of us can get 40,000 yuan."

John said impatiently: "Tell me the answer and don't let me do the math questions."

Frank thought for a moment and said, "The four of us will each receive 10,000 yuan. After deducting all expenses, the remaining money will be about 120,000 yuan for the bison's mother."

John nodded and waved: "I can accept it, does the cheapskate agree?"

Rubber frowned and said: "Of course Cheapskate agrees, hey, don't call George Cheapskate."

John took a sip of Coke, and then said dejectedly: "If the bison hadn't died, each of us could only get fourteen thousand dollars. For such a small amount of money, the bison died, and now he can get hundreds of thousands." , but what’s the point.”

The three of them fell into silence. After a long time, Rubber suddenly said: "Hey, we came back overnight not to talk to you about the tragic life of mercenaries. Now we are still waiting for your answer. How is that boy? Why? Would you lose a gun to him?"

John shrugged and said melancholy: "Well, it's a bit complicated. First of all, I think he is still very... very... very..."

"What? Are you really stupid?"

Rubber was very dissatisfied, but Frank said with a puzzled face: "Have you been stimulated by anything?"

John took a sharp breath, and then said with a serious face: "I think it is necessary to investigate further. For now, I can't judge whether he can join us."

Frank frowned and said, "Okay, let's talk about the same thing, what's his attitude towards money?"

"Of course he loves money. He feels distressed when buying clothes. I can tell that he is simply a pauper. I'm sure of this."

Frank breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Does he have any bad habits? Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have any bad habits. Have you tested him?"

"Yes, he smokes. I asked him if he wanted to try something more exciting. There were legal leaves to buy. He refused me with a very firm attitude. I asked him if he wanted to go to Las Vegas and gamble a bit. I offered to double the $5,000, but he refused me out of fear and said he would never gamble."

Frank nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, continue."

John said absently: "I paid him one thousand five hundred and eighty-four dollars, and he gave me one thousand six hundred dollars directly. From this point of view, he is quite sensible, and then he is very polite, well, no That kind of young man who is particularly impetuous and out-of-the-box.”

Frank nodded again and said, "Then after he got a huge sum of money, did he buy any luxury goods or anything like that?"

"No, it's just necessities. When buying daily necessities in the supermarket, I always look for cheap ones. All in all, I'm just a pauper who has never seen a lot of money."

"I trust your judgment, and I feel safe leaving him to you." Frank said seriously: "We have all seen his performance. He is calm and courageous in extremely adverse situations, but the most important thing is He's got brains, guys, he's a talent and even though he doesn't have military training, he's still the kind of guy we need."

John raised his hand, and then he said with a dull expression: "At this point, I have to interrupt. What if this kid lied?"

Frank raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you panicking? Tell me."

John drank all the Coke, squeezed the Coke can and said with a blank expression: "He said he had no military experience or received military training, but didn't you find the point? I lost to Give him a gun, I've said it twice!"

Rubber said in shock: "I know why you seemed to have been beaten. I thought it was because your kung fu dream was shattered, but you mean, he defeated you while shooting?"

Frank also said extremely seriously: "I also thought it was a matter of kung fu, but you are talking about shooting. Please tell me carefully."

John said with a blank look on his face: "He shot the whole family in the club next door. He shot for the first time. He used a ten-meter target, ten rounds of bullets, and hit eighty-six rings."

Rubber sneered and said: "Anyone can do it, even if it's the first time, it's nothing."

"Then I asked him to hit the 25-meter target, and he still shot well."

Frank looked puzzled and said: "Is the newcomer good or something? Have you competed?"

John pinched his ears, scratched his neck, and then said with an uncomfortable look on his face: "There is no competition, but you can play better than me..."

Rubber's face was stunned at first, and then he changed to a contemptuous smile.

Frank said softly: "That's not right. If he shoots better than you, then it is impossible for him to have never shot before. It is difficult for a person to hide his habits when shooting. He can hide his true ability, but It’s hard for him to change his shooting habits!”

John coughed slightly and said, "Listen to what I'm saying. He knows almost all pistols. I said all brands and models. Some of them I don't even recognize. How come he, a Chinese, knows more than me?" ?”

"Yes, there is a problem." Frank said solemnly: "But...if he wants to hide something, he shouldn't be so eager to express himself, right?"

John continued: "Listen to me, after he finished shooting the large caliber, he switched to shooting with his left hand, and then he... he... he just shook his hand and shot three ten rings, shooting with his left hand while swinging .”

Frank opened his mouth slightly, and Rubber followed John's example and shook his hands a few times, then said with a look of astonishment: "Hitting like this? Are you kidding me?"

John swallowed and said, "That's why I made a bet with him, betting that he wouldn't be able to get three more ten rings, and then, and then..."

"Tell me, are you stupid?"

John sighed softly and said: "Then he controlled the target. He fired eight shots, three of which were ten, and five of them missed the target. Guys, he was demonstrating to me, he was playing with me, and he was embarrassing me!"

"Still swinging like this? Can you control the target when you hit like this?" Frank also shook his left arm. After asking in disbelief, he said in confusion: "But why did he do this?"

John exhaled and said in a daze: "I don't know, I'm starting to doubt my judgment. He seems to be familiar with all guns, can use all guns, and is also familiar with shooting rules, but I can It can be seen that when he picked up a new gun, his excitement came from the heart, and he even felt a little pious, but...his gun didn't shoot like a novice. I don't know, I can't judge. , so I said I would take him to shoot rifles tomorrow, that’s it, captain, you have to give me the money to buy the gun, at least you have to share it equally with me.”

Frank ignored John and said solemnly: "The reason for this situation is very simple. He may have only shot Chinese guns before and never shot other guns, so he will be excited and even pious. Tomorrow we will use rifles." Try him, uh, what is China’s standard rifle? We have to look for it overnight, call and ask which shooting range has Chinese guns that can be used, let’s find it now!”
