Walk all the way through the Devil's City. Yang Xiao has been calling Zhao Qingfan's number, sometimes he can get through, and sometimes it shows that the other party has turned off his phone.
This uncle, whom he had never met before, was extremely cautious, fearing that his whereabouts would be revealed accidentally.
Even though Luo Yinghua had given him Yang Xiao's phone number, Zhao Qingfan still didn't dare to answer the phone.
If you think about it from his perspective, maybe Yang Xiao will do the same.
Simply because trust takes time to build. He would not leave his destiny in the hands of others.
Under the scorching sun, very few people entered the Devil City at this time. In addition to Yang Xiao and the other two people, there were several groups of people who actually entered the Devil's City during this period, and they had been wandering around the Devil's City.
Compared with Yang Xiao and Li Zheng's calmness, they were much more embarrassed. Sweating profusely, many people were tortured by the scorching sun and had to seek shelter in the shade from time to time to relieve their physical discomfort.
No need to guess, Yang Xiao can also imagine that these are small characters sent by that organization. On such a hot day, I was arranged to look for Zhao Qingfan here just to seize the blood amulet. I don’t know if they have high-temperature subsidies, but they are almost scorching hot, and one or two of them look listless.
Not to mention Yang Xiao, Li Zheng next to him could hit five of such things.
Now was not the time for a conflict, so Yang Xiao ignored them and led Li Zheng away with the glances from these little Karami.
Both parties are in peace.
The Devil's City is not small, with a radius of ten square kilometers. If he continues to wander around like a headless fly, who knows when he will find someone. Zhao Qingfan deliberately avoided it, but there was no hope.
Yang Xiao called the old man and asked him to send a message. If Zhao Qingfan didn't answer the phone again, he would not tolerate his bad habits and was ready to turn around and leave, ignoring him.
It would be too rude to come all the way here without showing your face.
The effect of this move was obvious. Soon, an unfamiliar number called.
Half an hour later, Yang Xiao and the two came to a twin-tower landscape. Two spiers, one large and one small, rising abruptly from the ground, are inconspicuous and very ordinary among a large group of dense and well-proportioned sandstone strange landscapes.
Yang Xiao never expected that Zhao Qingfan would be hiding in a shadow gap between the twin towers.
Covered in a blanket that was very similar in color to the surroundings, his cheap uncle looked unusually vicissitudes of life, no different from a homeless man.
His head was covered with dust, his skin was rough, his face was turned red and black by the wind and sand, and his white lips looked a little chapped.
He pulled Yang Xiao and Li Zheng into his hidden space. Only then did Yang Xiao realize that in front of him was a hollow with an area of four to five square meters.
On the ground, some unpacked food packages and empty mineral water bottles were vaguely visible. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Zhao Qingfan escaped in such a hurry, where was the room for other equipment?
The last bottle of 500 ml water has been opened, with less than a third left.
Although the conditions were somewhat difficult, Yang Xiao noticed that Zhao Qingfan's eyes were always clear and exuded a perseverance.
"Let me introduce myself. I am your Uncle Zhao, Zhao Qingfan. Xiaolong, this is our first meeting. I didn't expect that we would be here."
Although the current environment is harsh and he is being hunted, Zhao Qingfan is not pessimistic and feels very happy. This northern man has a rough and arrogant energy that is unique to the Northeast.
"Uncle Zhao, I am Xiaolong. My father has told me everything about you. Now I have two solutions. Listen to it and see which one you choose."
After saying that, Yang Xiao sat down directly. Li Zheng quickly opened his backpack, took out water from it, and handed it to the boss and the homeless man in front of him.
"Eldest nephew, I appreciate Lao Luo and your kindness, but don't get involved. This matter has already cost lives. It's too big and you can't handle it."
In fact, Zhao Qingfan regretted calling Lao Luo. He felt that having lost one brother, he shouldn't bring another one into the mix.
Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaolong was not so fast and actually flew over directly on the plane.
Zhao Qingfan knew that the gang had already deployed a lot of force to look for him in Devil City.
He has made up his mind that even if he dies, he will not hand over the blood amulet.
When the time comes, the worst possible outcome will be that the blood amber will be destroyed. Anyway, those hateful guys can't get anything from him.
As for his own life and death, he had ignored it and only thought about his failure to avenge his brother, feeling very resentful and regretful in his heart.
However, the enemy was powerful, and as a civilian, he had no way to contend. If you attack rashly, you will just hit the stone with an egg, and you won't be able to hurt the culprit at all.
Yang Xiaoneng roughly guessed that Zhao Qingfan's psychological activities were not hidden, and he said directly: "Uncle Zhao, whether you can resist or not, it doesn't matter what you say. Listen to me first, the first option is for me I will help you solve all your troubles. I will avenge Uncle Song. Just follow me and watch. This process should not take more than two days. The second option is to give up revenge for the time being and follow me back to the southwest. . If you sell that thing in your hand, you should be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Zhao Qingfan looked surprised, and felt unreal after hearing Yang Xiao's words.
The young man in front of him spoke like a toad yawning. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer.
This choice presented by Yang Xiao was just to see what Uncle Zhao was thinking.
Anyway, Song Tiange is dead and the stone is in his hand. No matter what he chooses, Yang Xiao will respect his opinion.
After all, it was a matter for Lao Luo and his previous generation, so he didn't want to get too involved.
Whether it's the first option or the second option, it's just a matter of time.
In a human life lawsuit, someone must be responsible for it. The difference is that he will decide the intensity and specific method of handling the matter based on Zhao Qingfan's choice.
Li Zheng stood aside obediently and did not make any sound. He knew his position very well, which was to talk less and do more. When he needed to express his anger, the boss would naturally call him.
In order to ensure safety, he released the smart drone in his bag and began to patrol the surrounding environment.
"I can't leave. I haven't avenged Brother Song yet, so how can I leave?"
Zhao Qingfan looked lonely. His brother, who had lived for such a long time, had always been kind to others and had no enemies. He did not expect that the final ending would be so miserable. If he doesn't seek justice for Brother Song, how can he be worthy of the decades of friendship?
"Uncle Zhao, after all, we have a society governed by law now. Why, do you still want to take revenge on your own and kill your enemies with your own hands?"
Yang Xiao was speechless, but he still said what he was thinking about.
Zhao Qingfan, you are already several decades old, so your life is too idealistic. Perhaps the water chestnut has been smoothed out too much by life, and has long been accustomed to living at the bottom of society.
He no longer knows how to use legal weapons to protect his own legitimate rights and interests.
"I also thought about calling the police, but those bastards are too powerful. I'm afraid that some of them are in the public security organs. If I go to the police, it will really be a sheep in the tiger's mouth."
Leaning against the earthen wall and sitting on the ground, Zhao Qingfan's eyes were full of confusion. In fact, he didn't have any solution at all. The only thing he could do was to use his own courage. At worst, he would have to fight them to the end even if he had to give up his life.
Yang Xiao shook his head, handed a cigarette to Zhao Qingfan, and began to teach his experience to the hard-working Uncle Zhao, "Uncle Zhao, I think you have spent so many years in Northern Xinjiang Province in vain."
Li Zheng is now in good habits and doesn't smoke. To be precise, he just quit smoking a week ago. Yang Xiao didn't force him. He took a puff of cigarette and continued: "As a person who just came to Northern Xinjiang Province, I know that our country has The major policy policy of Northern Xinjiang is to firmly grasp its strategic positioning in the comprehensive construction of a world power, actively build the Asia-Europe golden channel and a bridgehead for opening to the west, build a strategic fulcrum for a new development pattern, a national energy resources strategic support base, and maintain It is a strategic barrier for the country’s geopolitical security and has made great contributions to the comprehensive construction of a world power and the realization of national rejuvenation. The most important thing in the work of Northern Xinjiang Province is to maintain regional peace and stability. In addition to murder cases, the police will definitely investigate, but if this murder case has anything to do with the national rejuvenation If there is a security connection, then the relevant departments will handle it more powerfully and quickly."
His eyes lit up, Zhao Qingfan frowned slightly, and then he suddenly realized that he didn't know that Northern Xinjiang Province had invested heavily in maintaining stability regardless of cost in recent years. In any region, social stability is always the top government priority.
Especially when it comes to some major and important cases with great impact, a lot of manpower and material resources will be invested, special work teams will be set up to push forward vigorously, and the cases will be solved in a very short time, so that the people can truly feel a sense of satisfaction and security.
Yang Xiao's suggestion quickly opened up his mind.
"However, these are two different things. There is no relationship between the two. We can't deceive the police comrades."
For decades, the simple common people's thoughts still imprisoned Zhao Qingfan's thinking, and he still felt that this was slightly inappropriate.
He still remains in awe of state violence agencies, uniformed police officers, and police uncles.
After living for decades, although he has never studied law, he has never violated any laws and regulations except traffic violations. He can definitely be regarded as an excellent citizen with extremely high standards.
Except for going to the police station to register for residence after being demobilized from the army, he has never been to the police station to handle other business in so many years.
"Who said these two things have nothing to do with each other? Are you so sure? Forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you, you should just stay with me and watch honestly. Uncle Zhao, I'm not telling you, If you are planning to fight to the death or risk your life, don’t care about so many rules and regulations. Please remember that rules are always used to restrict people, and what we have to do is to use them, and of course sometimes even surpass them. .”
