The girl in black was already close to Di Xiong. Taking advantage of the collision, she suddenly stretched out her small white hand, inserted it into Di Xiong's pocket, and grabbed the two rolls of silver coins. Her movements were very agile and skillful. This was not the first time she had done something like this. She had never failed before, and she believed she would not fail this time either.
But she was wrong.
When she pulled her hand out of Di Xiong's pocket, she couldn't pull it out. Di Xiong's big hard hand had already grasped her jade wrist. He looked at the girl, his eyes flashed with a cold light like a blade, and the black girl couldn't help but fight. Had a chill. Di Xiong quickly took off her mask, revealing her fair face, bright red lips, and a small scar on her chin.
Just as Di Xiong was about to speak, the girl in black shouted first: "Let go of my hand! Rogue!"
Di Xiong didn't expect that the girl would scold him so confidently. Her voice was clear and sweet. The eyes of the surrounding customers turned to Di Xiong one after another, some with anger, some with contempt, and some with pity. These people obviously regarded Di Xiong as a gangster. This is the beauty of being proactive. When a woman quarrels with others in public, she will always get sympathy from most onlookers, especially if she is a beautiful woman. Di Xiong was surrounded by a hostile crowd.
The girl in black had her right hand captured, so she raised her left hand to hit Di Xiong. Di Xiong immediately twisted her right hand, causing her to turn around involuntarily in pain. Her elbow joint was dislocated, and she couldn't help but scream. The red-faced boy ducked behind Di Xiong, slowly pulled out a sharp knife from his arms, stared at Di Xiong fiercely, and slowly approached Di Xiong.
Di Xiong took out his police card with his left hand and said calmly to everyone: "I am a policeman, she is a thief, don't be fooled by him!"
When everyone saw the green police badge in Di Xiong's hand, they all backed away. People are afraid of the police these days. The girl in black was also startled, with a look of fear in her eyes. Only a strong man in a fur coat in his thirties did not retreat. This strong man had a long scar on the left side of his face and looked very fierce.
The strong man sneered: "You gangster, you bully other girls, how dare you pretend to be a policeman?" He punched Di Xiong. At the same time, the red-faced boy raised a sharp knife and stabbed Di Xiong in the back. Faced with attacks from both front and back, Di Xiong could only free his hands by letting go of the girl in black. When Di Xiong let go of the girl in black, he flew up and kicked the red-faced boy's wrist first. The sharp knife flew away and disappeared. Kicked him to the ground. Just now, Di Xiong kept glancing at the red-faced boy from the corner of his eye.
The punch from the strong man was also dodged by Di Xiong. With a "boom" sound, the punch hit another customer's fat face. Blood immediately burst out. The fat man who was innocently beaten covered his face and looked like a pig. howled.
The bank security guard in blue uniforms pulled out his gun and shouted: "If there's a fight, get outside! We still have business to do."
Although Di Xiong was a bank customer who was stolen and attacked, the security guard had no intention of helping him.
After Di Xiong went out, he took his police card. When he saw the girl in black running away, he was about to chase him, but was stopped by a strong man. As a result, he fought with the strong man again. Di Xiong dodged three consecutive punches from the opponent and hit him with his right hand. The fist faltered, and the left fist suddenly swung out, hitting the opponent's chest with a "dong" sound. The series of movements were quite beautiful. With just one punch, the strong man was vomiting blood and unable to get up. The crowd burst into cheers.
The girl in black had already run fifty meters away and seemed unable to catch up. Di Xiong did not pursue her either. He pulled out a black revolver from his waist and raised the gun casually, almost without aiming.
There was a "bang" gunshot, and the girl fell to the ground.
Di Xiong easily blew away the blue smoke coming out of the gun, put the gun back on his waist, and slowly walked towards the girl. The red-faced boy climbed up from the ground with difficulty, hugged Di Xiong's thigh, and begged: "Please let her go!"
Before he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Di Xiong's palm. Di Xiong couldn't help but admire this young man. He was only seventeen years old at most, but he could still get up after being hit by his own two feet. Di Xiong had practiced iron leg skills before.
Di Xiong walked up to the girl in black and saw her half-kneeling on the ground, covering her left calf, with bright red blood flowing out from between her white fingers. She looked at Di Xiong in horror. Di Xiong knelt down, took out a snow-white velvet handkerchief, bandaged her wound, restored her elbow joint, and then helped her stand up. Di Xiong noticed that there were many patches on her black cotton coat.
Di Xiong smiled and said, "I'm sorry! I shot you, but you don't have to run away, because you will be detained for up to fifteen days!"
The girl in black raised her tearful eyes and said, "I didn't expect you were carrying a pistol. Are you really a policeman?"
Di Xiong took out his police card again and handed it to her and said, "I'll take you to the hospital. You must put some medicine on it, otherwise the wound will become infected."
The girl in black opened the police card, looked at it carefully, and said to Di Xiong: "Your name is Di Xiong? You work as a detective at the Xicheng Police Station? I'm so unlucky today. I stole from the police, and he's also a very skilled policeman." .”
Di Xiong called a rickshaw, helped her into the carriage, and asked the rickshaw driver to take her to the nearest hospital.
"What's your name?" Di Xiong asked in the car.
The girl in black hesitated for a moment before replying: "My name is Bai Xiuling."
Bai Xiuling suddenly asked: "My leg hurts so much. Will my leg be broken?"
Di Xiong said: "Don't worry! I only penetrated the flesh and didn't damage the bones. My shooting skills are not too bad. For your sin, you shouldn't have to pay the price of a leg."
At Xicheng Hospital, Di Xiong paid one silver dollar for medical treatment. After the doctor checked, he confirmed Di Xiong's statement. Bai Xiuling looked at Di Xiong with admiration in her beautiful big eyes: "Your marksmanship is so accurate! "
Di Xiong smiled: "This is the first time that a victim praised my shooting skills!"
Bai Xiuling smiled sweetly and said, "This is the first time I have seen a policeman who paid money to treat a thief's injuries."
After applying medicine and bandaging, Di Xiong helped Bai Xiuling out of the hospital gate. He asked the rickshaw driver to take them to the Xicheng Police Station and stopped when they passed the "Zhuji" restaurant.
Bai Xiuling held Di Xiong's arm and begged: "Brother Di! Please don't send me to the police station, please let me go! I know you are a good person, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Seeing her pitiful look, Di Xiong almost relented and agreed, but he immediately realized it and said with a straight face: "I am doing this just for your own good. You always steal like this. Not only do you hurt innocent people, but you will also end up harming others." It’s yourselves. As thieves, have you ever considered the pain of the person being stolen?”
Bai Xiuling said: "This is my first time, and I haven't succeeded yet. Who hasn't made a mistake? Isn't it okay if I change it?"
Di Xiong smiled and said, "Really? Your skillful stealing skills and smart adaptability make me inferior. If I hadn't known a little bit about boxing, I would have been interrupted by your accomplices."
Bai Xiuling saw that she was too soft, so she became tough and sneered: "Since you know that I have accomplices, you should have guessed that I have a gang behind me. If you catch me, you will offend the Flying Eagle Gang, and they will take revenge on you." of."
Di Xiong said with a smile: "If I were afraid of gangs, I wouldn't be a police officer at all."
The rickshaw stopped at the "Zhuji" Hotel. Di Xiong wanted to help Bai Xiuling down, but she refused to come down on the excuse of pain in her legs. Di Xiong whispered: "If you don't leave, they will pick you up and carry you in." Bai Xiuling was shocked, and she got down obediently with a red face.
Dixiong took out two copper coins and paid the fare.
Bai Xiuling was supported by Di Xiong and walked into the hotel. Several people in the hotel looked at Di Xiong and Bai Xiuling in surprise. But they immediately regained their composure. There were so many weird things happening these days, and they were already familiar with them.
At this time, in addition to the proprietress, her daughter, the shopkeeper, and two waiters, there was also a middle-aged fat man in the restaurant. The fat man was wearing an apron and seemed to be a cook.
Di Xiong found a chair at the table and sat down. He put Bai Xiuling on the chair next to him and said to Sister-in-law Wei, "I have brought the money. Has the transfer contract been written?"
Sister-in-law Wei smiled and said: "It has been written a long time ago. I asked shopkeeper Wu from our store to be the middleman. It has been stamped by the housing management office and is waiting for your signature." She quickly asked shopkeeper Long Face to hand over two copies. The contract was brought over to show Di Xiong, and she took a box of red ink pad and pen and ink and put them on the table. Dixiong read the contract carefully and saw that there were no loopholes. Sister Wei and shopkeeper Wu had already signed and stamped the seller, so he picked up a pen, signed his name on the buyer, stamped his fingerprints, and signed the buyer's name. Signed Bai Xiuling's name.
Shopkeeper Wu asked: "Mr. Di! Where is the man you invited?"
Di Xiong pointed at Bai Xiuling and said, "She is the one." Regardless of whether Bai Xiuling agreed or not, he picked up her right index finger, dipped it in ink pad, and pressed it on the contract. Bai Xiuling didn't dare to resist and let him manipulate her.
Bai Xiuling whispered to Di Xiong: "What did you ask me to suppress? It couldn't be a contract of betrayal, right?"
Di Xiong smiled and shook his head, took out a roll of silver coins and handed it to Wei's wife. Wei's wife also gave the house deed to Di Xiong, and they each took one copy of the two deeds. Di Xiong said to Shopkeeper Wu and others: "Although the owner of the hotel has changed, if you want to stay, you can continue to work here. The salary will be higher than before, including Sister-in-law Wei."
The waiter, chef and others were very happy to hear this and thanked him repeatedly. Shopkeeper Wu, who was placing the chess records on the counter, was also surprised. He took a closer look at Di Xiong and clasped his fists in thanks. Sister-in-law Wei had already packed two bags. She said to Di Xiong, "Thank you very much for Mr. Di's kindness. I must take my deceased husband's ashes back to my hometown in Chuzhou, Anhui for burial."
Seeing that Sister-in-law Wei was leaving, the fat man quickly reminded her, "Sister-in-law Wei! Boss Zhu owes me two months' wages and he hasn't paid me yet. It's three oceans in total."
When the two waiters heard this, they quickly interrupted: "You owe me eighty coppers, too!", "And my sixty coppers!"
Sister-in-law Wei blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot. I'll give it to you now." After that, she counted out a few dollars from the silver dollars Di Xiong gave her to pay the debt.
When Di Xiong saw that shopkeeper Wu, who was laying out the chess records, remained silent, he smiled and asked, "Don't the boss owe you wages?"
Shopkeeper Wu sighed and whispered to Di Xiong: "Of course I have unpaid wages and owe two yuan, but Sister Wei only has fifty yuan now. It costs money to take the child back to Chuzhou, which is thousands of miles away. It costs money to hold a funeral in Chuzhou, and this money is simply not enough, how can I bear to ask her for more?"
