At dusk, the red clouds on the horizon dye the entire world with a rose-colored filter.
On a north-south street in Bingcheng, the shadows of the buildings stretched so long that they directly crossed the broad street and connected both sides of the road.
Passers-by walking on the dark streets can only see a little sunlight leaking through the occasional gaps.
Light up their insensitive faces.
The cold wind blew around the corner of the empty intersection, stirring up a few bursts of dust. The shop signs hanging on the street creaked and swayed in the darkness.
At the main intersection, there is a three-story red brick building standing on the street. There is a light bulb hanging on the gatehouse facing the street.
The sun hadn't set yet, but the lights were already on in this shop.
It seems that he doesn't care about the electricity bill at all.
Dim yellow light, like the setting sun, illuminated the black-plated shop sign:
Zuixian Tower.
It sounds like this place is a restaurant.
Speaking of which, this place is indeed a restaurant.
It's just that it's not a restaurant, but a cigarette shop.
At the entrance of Zuixian Tower, downwind, lay a dozen or so thin figures in ragged clothes. They raised their heads hard and smelled the faint smell of smoke and earth that filled the air.
His eyes were full of desire.
These people, either actively or passively, became addicted to smoking, and completely became slaves of the opium den. After sucking their bones and marrow, and draining their oil and water, the opium den threw them out.
Let these people fend for themselves.
Looking around, similar scenes can be seen everywhere on a street.
There are even more opium dens than restaurants.
"You two, walk slowly~"
With a greeting, the thick curtain of Zuixian Tower was opened by the waiter, and the thick smell of smoke spurted out from inside.
The dozen or so smokers who looked like living dead suddenly became energetic and moved towards the door using their hands and feet.
Then, he was beaten back with sticks by the thugs.
Two men dressed like ordinary businessmen walked out of Zuixian Tower.
One of them seemed to have some inconvenience in his legs and feet and was walking with a limp.
When they passed the sunlight gap, their faces lit up for a moment.
It was Sugiyama Shoichi and Luan Ping.
These two people who met in Mudanjiang actually got together again in Bingcheng.
And it seems that the relationship between the two is much better than before.
As for the reason, it was simple. As the saying goes, people go to higher places. After coming to Bingcheng, Luan Ping didn't want to go back to Mudanjiang.
Unfortunately, his experience of being kidnapped by "White Night" alone was not enough to get him into the eyes of the Ice City secret service.
Without a backer and connections, it would be impossible for Luan Ping to stand in Bingcheng.
But just when Luan Ping was about to return home, Sugiyama Shoichi and the other prisoners were exchanged.
In order to verify the details of Sugiyama Shoichi's capture, Luan Ping was kept by the secret service for a few more days.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luan Ping relied on his sharp tongue to continue his relationship with Sugiyama Shoichi.
He wanted to take advantage of the other party's way to stay in Ice City.
As for Luan Ping, a loser who was familiar with all the ways of the three religions and nine schools, Sugiyama Shoichi was also very good at using him, and he recognized such a subordinate just after thinking about it.
Who told his entire team at Jiapigou Gold Mine to be killed by the Anti-League?
Moreover, because of the incident at the Jiapigou Gold Mine, Sugiyama Shoichi will continue to be investigated by the secret service, which makes him feel even worse.
He really needs a talkative and understanding loser like Luan Ping to make him happy.
"Sugiyama-kun, where should we go next? Do you want to go to Langui Street?"
"Lan Kwai Street"
Sugiyama Masaichi was a little moved at first, but inexplicably he remembered the flash of white he saw in Mudanjiang.
Suddenly, I felt very uninterested.
"Forget it, let's go back to the gendarmerie. If I stay out late at night, those vicious dogs from the secret service will come to bother me again."
"Okay, let's go back then. Sugiyama-kun, you are in a daze and the road is slippery, so you have to be careful where you step."
"Yo Xi, Luan Sang, you are fine."
"Thank you Sugiyama-kun for the compliment. This is what I should do."
Sugiyama Tadashi patted Luan Ping's shoulder, as if he was stroking the family dog he had raised when he was a child.
It's a pity that after the family dog was raised, he was killed and eaten by his father.
That taste is so delicious.
Just as Sugiyama Shoichi was recalling the dog meat meal he had when he was a child, a flash of white flashed across his field of vision.
"Um!"
Sugiyama looked over there without realizing it.
"Luan Sang, look over there."
Luan Ping followed Sugiyama Masaichi's hand and soon saw Lu Feng and Yu Manli on the street.
Luan Ping naturally knew what Sugiyama Shoichi meant, he nodded quickly and said:
"Sugiyama-kun, yes, it's them."
Since Luan Ping also saw it, it was not an hallucination caused by smoking too much.
Immediately, Sugiyama Shoichi happily walked towards Lu Feng and the others.
"My feet are all sacked, Takeshou-kun, we meet again!"
At the other end of the street, Lu Feng was speechless when he saw Sugiyama Shoichi walking towards him or Yu Manli excitedly.
He had just come to Bingcheng with Yu Manli this afternoon. He was looking for the contact signal left by Ding San on the street, and he unexpectedly ran into this guy again.
Why are you destined to be with him?
But everyone came up to say hello, so it was hard for Lu Feng to pretend not to know each other, so he could only nod and say:
"Sugiyama-kun, long time no see."
"What are you doing? Oh, yes, that place in Mudanjiang is now occupied by gangsters. You should really leave as soon as possible."
Sugiyama Shoichi himself found a reason for Lu Feng and the two to appear here, and then he said enthusiastically:
"Jitake Shou-kun, you rejected my invitation last time, please be sure to honor me this time.
Think about it, we met in Mudanjiang, and we met here in Bingcheng. In Chinese words, we meet everywhere in life. "
Thank you. I really don’t want to meet you. If I arrest you again this time, I won’t be able to send you to the Anti-Japanese Federation.
Is this going to capture Meng Huo seven times?
"Sorry, I'm happy to see Sugiyama-kun again, but we have already made an appointment with friends and have business to discuss."
Listening to Lu Feng's cold and shameless rejection, Sugiyama Shoichi's face became unsightly.
"In that case, well, I look forward to meeting you next time with Takemori-kun."
"goodbye."
"goodbye."
After staring at Lu Feng's back for a long time, Sugiyama said to Luan Ping beside him:
"Luan Sang, do you understand?"
"Sugiyama-kun, I understand, but, this is not Mudanjiang, and I am not a police detective. This matter is difficult for him to handle."
Luan Ping naturally understood what Sugiyama Shoichi meant, which was just to let him find out the details of the couple.
But he didn't agree directly.
Because, this is a good opportunity to ask for a price.
"You are now the police detective of Ice City."
Sugiyama Shoichi didn't say anything about what he would do after the incident was completed. It was just a matter of placing a detective in the police station. It was nothing to him.
Now that he can get Luan Ping into it, if things don't go well, he can naturally make Luan Ping feel better.
"Thank you Sugiyama-kun, don't worry, I will touch their bottoms now."
"Yoshi."
After a transaction was completed, Luan Ping got the long-awaited opportunity to establish himself in Bingcheng, and Sugiyama Masaichi had expectations for that gleam of white.
Both people are very happy.
However, extreme happiness can easily lead to sadness.
"Don't move, don't shout. If you shout, you will die."
Before Luan Ping and Sugiyama Shoichi could separate, a warning suddenly came from behind them.
Two hard gun barrels were pressed against the two men's backs.
Luan Ping lowered his head and saw the shadows of two big men behind him.
"Don't move, we won't move."
Luan Ping and Sugiyama Shoichi looked at each other and answered skillfully.
"Come with us."
"Leaving again?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
"Oh, okay."
Luan Ping was a little helpless. What the hell is this? It was the same last time. He was just about to get to know the two couples, but Bai Ye was robbed.
this time
Um?
Luan Ping suddenly had an idea in his mind.
However, this time was obviously different from the last kidnapping, because the other party did not release Luan Ping, but also put a hood on him and tied him up.
After a while, Luan Ping was picked up and dragged to a house.
Someone took off his hood, and Luan Ping squinted his eyes. It took him a while to adapt to the environment in front of him.
All he saw was a worn-out Taishi chair in front of him.
On the Taishi's chair, a familiar face was sitting on it with a golden sword.
"Brother Luan, I didn't expect to meet you here. This is really true: we meet you everywhere in life."
"Nine, Lord Nine?"
On the streets of Bingcheng, Lu Feng walked around for a long time, but still couldn't find Sugiyama Shoichi and his bastard figure.
Where did these two people go?

I sang two lines, and after listening to the third line, it reminded me of the chicken I killed at home during the Chinese New Year last year, so I didn’t sing it.
