It has to be said that Major Holland is an active-duty officer after all, and his reaction speed is indeed faster than that of the pampered Colonial Secretary Mr. Brown.
After he fell to the ground, he turned over to avoid Mr. Brown who was flying towards him with a bayonet. He raised his foot and kicked Mr. Brown directly in the face. He kicked Mr. Brown about two meters away and leaned against the wall. , unable to react.
And he took this opportunity to quickly get up and rush out of the door. At this moment, he was completely naked, even the bath towel that covered his face had fallen on the edge of the bed.
When everyone crowded at the door to watch the excitement saw this situation, although their eyes shone brightly, they did not dare to block the way. They turned sideways, preparing to make way for the other party to avoid being involved.
Major Holland had already noticed the crowd at the door, but at this moment he couldn't care less about shame and just wanted to escape quickly. As for how to deal with it later, that was a matter for the future.
Therefore, he didn't think too much and just focused on escaping from here.
What no one noticed was that the young Chinese man in the black suit in the crowd had already put his hand into his arms when he turned around. Because of the cover of the suit jacket, no one noticed anything unusual in the other person's hands.
At the moment when Major Holland was trying his best to escape and everyone at the door stepped aside to give way, "Bang, bang, bang!" Several gunshots rang out in succession, frightening everyone who was still watching the excitement into screaming.
The matter of the gunshot was not just a simple gossip.
Major Holland, who was desperately trying to escape, was less than two meters away from the door. There were a few blood splatters on the front of his chest and abdomen. However, due to the inertia of his body as he ran away, he was trembling with fear from the gunshots. , but still rushing to the door of the room desperately.
This made the people at the door flee faster. The door of the room that had been too crowded just now was completely cleared in an instant. Only the young Chinese man was still looking at Huo Lan who was still rushing out with cold eyes. Major De.
At this time, Major Holland still didn't understand that it was this young man who shot him. Although he felt cold all over and his strength was draining from him, he still tried his best to rush towards the opponent, cursing and saying:
"asshole!"
Seeing the other party rushing toward him, the young Chinese man was not nervous at all. Instead, he cursed directly at the other party in Portuguese like the other party:
"asshole!"
At the same time, he took out the pistol hidden in his coat and pressed against his abdomen, and pulled the trigger at Major Holland, who was rushing towards him.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
It wasn't until the sound of the pistol emptying that the young Chinese pushed away Major Holland, who was already hugging his shoulders.
Seeing that Major Hollander was slowly falling, he must have been hopeless. He turned around and glanced at everyone in the room. He saw that everyone looked shocked and did not dare to move. He suddenly grinned at Mr. Brown who was at a loss with the sharp knife and said:
"Mr. Brown, don't forget to pay the balance!"
After saying that, he nodded and bowed to him, then slowly put the gun back into the holster, turned around and left.
After the young Chinese walked away, everyone in the room looked stiffly and looked at Mr. Brown, who had not yet reacted.
Facing everyone's gaze, Mr. Brown trembled with fear and threw the dagger in his hand without thinking, for fear that some people would misunderstand him.
"Don't look at me like that! This is none of my business!"
When the two waiters saw this, they looked at each other and one of them said directly:
"Sir, please don't leave. Now that a life has been lost, we must call the police immediately. You can't go anywhere before the police arrive."
After saying that, they both stood up and walked out. Before going out, one of them stepped forward and turned Major Holland over, probed the other person's nose with his hand, and only after making sure that the other person was not breathing at all, he raised his head and faced Mr. Brown said:
"This gentleman is dead."
After that, walk away quickly.
Mr. Brown and his two friends were left in the room looking at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, not knowing what to say for a moment.
It wasn't until Mrs. Brown's cry came out from under the quilt that everyone came back to their senses.
One of the friends looked at Mr. Brown hesitantly and said:
"Now things are in trouble!"
Another friend looked at the body at the door, then at Mrs. Brown, who was shivering under the covers and crying suppressedly, and then at Mr. Brown, who was a little confused. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly focused and he looked at the dagger thrown on the ground by Mr. Brown.
"Something is wrong! Where did this dagger come from?"
Mr. Brown is certainly not a stupid person to become the Chief Secretary of Haojiang. If he was stunned by his wife's cheating before, now he reacted instantly after hearing his friend's words.
yes! Everything about this thing today was weird. I suddenly received an anonymous call and rushed over just in time to catch him. Originally I just punched and kicked the guy. But out of nowhere, a dagger suddenly fell out.
Then, when the bastard ran away, the person at the door shot him dead. What was even more strange was that the other person nodded to him and said he had to pay the balance.
Isn't this frame-up? At this moment, if he didn't understand that someone was setting up a trap for him, he, the Colonial Secretary, would no longer have to do this.
"There was something wrong with those two waiters just now."
Before he could say anything, his friend who noticed the problem had already looked at him and blurted out.
Hearing this, another friend also reacted.
"This is a trap. We can't let those two people escape. Let's chase them!"
At this time, Mr. Brown had already figured out the connection. He even thought more about it than these two friends. Who discovered that his wife was having an affair with Major Holland?
Is the other party's goal just to kill Major Holland? If you really just want to kill the other party, there is no need to go to such trouble! What is the purpose of bringing yourself into the game?
As a politician, it is the most basic political thinking to speculate on one's political opponents with the greatest malice. His first feeling after reacting was that this was a conspiracy against him, and Major Holland was just a pawn.
When he heard his friend say that he was going to chase the two waiters, he stretched out his hand to stop them without thinking.
"No need, now it seems that all this is not an accident, but a trap specifically targeted at me. These people are well prepared. If you chase them out now, you may be in danger.
Let's wait here for the police to arrive! "
Upon hearing this, the two friends thought it made sense. After looking at each other, they nodded. For a moment, the room fell into an eerie silence, except for Mrs. Brown's suppressed sobs.
After a while, Mr. Brown slowly got up and came to Mrs. Brown's bed. He looked at Mrs. Brown hiding under the quilt with cold eyes and said:
"How long have you been with this bastard? Does anyone know about your relationship?"
Mrs. Brown, who had been hiding under the quilt, was obviously frightened. She did not hear the discussion of several people and just cried at a loss. Now after hearing Mr. Brown's words, he didn't react. He thought it was his husband who was trying to cause trouble for him!
If I dare to answer the other party's questions directly, I can only cry non-stop.
Seeing this, Mr. Brown suppressed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth:
"Now that Holander is dead, this is obviously a trap aimed at me. Do you still want to keep hiding it?"
Originally, Mr. Brown's intention was to let Mrs. Brown understand the current situation and cooperate with him to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
But when Mrs. Brown heard that her lover, Major Holland, was dead, she immediately stopped crying, lifted the quilt with a look of disbelief on her face, looked at Mr. Brown and said:
"Brown, are you crazy! Just because of this, you killed Holland?"
Seeing that his wife not only had no intention of repenting, but was still blaming herself, Brown became furious. What man could bear such humiliation? Without even thinking about it, he raised his hand and said "snap". His wife slapped him.
Mrs. Brown obviously did not expect that this man who had always cared for her would dare to hit herself. He won't get used to this problem.
"Hey Brown, are you crazy? Not only did you kill Holland, but now you dare to hit me. Ah! I'm not done with you!"
He screamed, stood up in a flash, and wanted to fight to the death with Mr. Brown.
This is a big pain for Brown's two friends in the room. Mrs. Brown is completely naked now, not even an inch of her hair! If it had been another woman, they would have just looked at it, and maybe they could have commented openly.
But this is the wife of Mr. Brown, the Colonial Secretary! Is this something they can see?
The two looked at each other awkwardly and quietly walked out the door in perfect agreement.
Brown also didn't expect that this crazy woman would actually have trouble with him at this time. Did she want to expose this matter by making trouble?
This time it was related to his future, and he would not tolerate the other party, not to mention that it was clearly the other party's fault, but now he wanted to mess around to avoid his own mistakes.
Without thinking, Mr. Brown grabbed her hair and slapped her several times, knocking Mrs. Brown into a daze.
"You stinky BZ, how can I be sorry for you? You secretly ate it behind my back, and now you are found out and want to mess around. I will beat you to death, you shameless stinky BZ."
Brown's outburst completely stunned Mrs. Brown. After all, he was a pampered woman and scratched randomly. If Mr. Brown didn't argue with her in normal times, she would have won. But under the current circumstances, there was no way she could defeat a man who attacked with hatred.
He was soon beaten to the point where he fell onto the bed and was unable to get up. He could only curse Brown vaguely for being ruthless and ruthless. Seeing this situation, Brown finally gave up on this woman. I am not ready to continue wasting time on her.
Just leave Mrs. Brown and turn around to leave. Seeing that his two friends were no longer in the room, he could only walk towards the door. Seeing them standing at the door with embarrassed faces, he could only take a deep breath to calm down as soon as possible.
"What happened tonight made you both laugh. Who do you think this was?"
Seeing that Mr. Brown seemed to have completely regained his composure and became the Colonial Secretary again, the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly.
"Things happened so fast. Apart from the dagger, there are no useful clues. It's too early to make a judgment now. We can only wait for the police to come and conduct a thorough investigation to see if there are any more clues. .”
Hearing this, Mr. Brown also pondered for a moment before nodding and saying:
"You are right. The most important thing now is to investigate all of this. The two waiters just now and the bastard who fired the gun must find them.
By the way, we can't let ordinary police officers investigate. I'm calling the police chief now and asking someone I trust to investigate. "
After saying that, he turned around and quickly returned to the room, picked up the phone on the bedside, and started to contact his staff.
The two people at the door could only look at each other in silence, and sighed together, not knowing what to say. Now they're involved, and they don't know if it's good or bad.
Just when Mr. Brown was contacting people and preparing to find out who was behind the scenes, Yao Mu and others were already on the sea road from Haojiang to Hong Kong City.
Looking at the police officers who had taken off their disguises, Yao Mu nodded with great satisfaction.
"Everyone has worked hard. I will give everyone a day off when we go back and have a good rest. No one is allowed to mention what happened here. This is everyone's hard work."
After speaking, he pulled out a suitcase from a pile of fishing nets, opened it, and handed each person a large envelope.
When everyone saw this, they were all smiling.
"Thank you, sir!"
"I'd like to emphasize again that the water on this matter is very deep. We are all just executors. If it is revealed, everyone may be silenced.
For the safety of our family and children, please forget about today’s incident. "
When everyone saw Yao Mu's serious expression and heard him say that he was just an executor, they immediately understood the seriousness of this matter. They couldn't help but shiver, knowing that Yao Mu was not joking.
They all nodded seriously to show their understanding.
A Le even said directly:
"Yes, please don't worry, sir. Tonight is my birthday. My brothers are all celebrating me at my house. We were so drunk that we never went anywhere."
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
"Yes, yes, we are celebrating Ale's birthday tonight, and we have never been anywhere."
Hearing this, Yao Mu nodded with satisfaction.
After returning to Hong Kong City, everyone actually went to Ah Le's house to have a big meal together. This time it was Ah Le who was in charge of the treat. After all, everyone knew that as the person who won the red lottery and made the move, Yao He will be given a new job soon, and now he is just celebrating in advance.
The murder that occurred in Haojiang caused a huge sensation the next day. After investigation by the Haojiang police, it was found that the deceased was a 38-year-old male, Major Commander Holland of the Portuguese Border Guard Force in Haojiang.
The suspects are Mr. Brown, the Colonial Secretary, and Major Richard, the deputy battalion commander of the Portuguese border guard in Haojiang. As for how did Major Richard get involved?
The reason is also very simple. After police investigation, it was found that the room occupied by Major Holland was next to the room occupied by Major Richard, although Major Richard did not check in that night.
But the murderer who shot and killed walked out of this room.
Moreover, Major Richard, like Mr. Brown, had a motive for murder. Because according to the police investigation, Major Holland and the two wives were lovers. This makes the whole case look suspicious.
At the same time, the police and the two suspects all suspected that there were other masterminds behind the case, but everyone's attention was focused on the political opponents of the two suspects. No one thought that it was because Major Holland was receiving money and not doing anything. cause serious consequences.
As for the rumors that later spread in the world, these high-ranking Portuguese nobles just dismissed them, secretly saying that these society members would only put money on their faces and want to get a share of any credit.
Only Osborne, the logistics officer of the Portuguese border guard stationed in Haojiang, broke into a cold sweat after hearing about this case and did not dare to speak out.
