The Foley brothers are a pair of gangster brothers who hang out in the Messel district. They are already in their thirties this year. They still have no fixed jobs or a family. They wander in various streets and use some uncivilized methods. Get money and food.
Most residents and traders like to give a small amount of money to get into trouble when they encounter such people. It is not easy to survive, and they don't like to cause trouble.
They live in no fixed abode and occasionally sleep in dark corners with beggars. Occasionally they choose to stay in the cheapest hotels, which at least provide them with hot water and breakfast.
Many years of gangster career have given them extraordinary intuition that is different from ordinary people. They can tell at a glance whether that person is an easy target to bully and how much money they can squeeze out of him. Moreover, they are also a little clever. They know how to measure things, so they have never had any major troubles as they make a living by extortion, extortion and destruction.
Therefore, they are still proud of it.
For example,
today.
When the carriage appeared on Cross Street, the elder brother noticed it immediately. He quietly poked his brother in the ribs to indicate that the two brothers had cooperated tacitly for many years, and the younger brother naturally knew what his elder brother meant.
Indeed, whether you rent or buy one, you must be a wealthy man to be able to use a carriage of that quality.
There are not many wealthy people who can appear in the Messel District. Most of them are people with a good reputation or powerful people behind them.
And today's enemy is obviously nothing. The most important thing is that they don't know each other, and the young lady in the car is not among the people they cannot mess with.
The carriage circled aimlessly on the street several times, obviously not familiar with the Messel district, which gave the Foley brothers more opportunities to take action.
only,
The only thing that scares them is
He is this lady's coachman.
Just from the appearance, it looked like a ferocious black bear. Brother Foley did not even dare to look directly into his sharp eyes. They relied on their familiarity with the cross street to avoid the detection of the coachman several times.
Their destination seemed to be the Big Hog's Head Bar, which was a gathering place for adventurers and sailors. The Foley brothers once fantasized about sailing on the ocean, but after just one day at sea with the sailors, they fainted and had vomiting and diarrhea on the ship. , finally, he was sent back to the shore as a last resort.
The feeling of stepping on the earth was so reassuring that Brother Foley gave up on his dream of becoming a sailor.
Seeing that lovely lady being rejected by the bar, she seemed a little disappointed. This was naturally normal. How could a daughter of a wealthy family be compared with the brave ones? Brother Foley scorned her behavior.
The carriage drove slowly on the street, and they followed it silently. When the merchants who knew the two brothers saw this scene, they could only shake their heads helplessly and sigh.
"What an unlucky girl."
The merchant sighed.
As long as the blackmail is successful, the Foley brothers can live a good life for a while.
The Foley brothers had two simplest plans, either to find an opportunity to drive away the mighty-looking coachman first, or to create some minor traffic accident and make the rich lady pay for it. Take the opportunity to make another stroke.
Just when they were hiding in an inconspicuous corner, observing the movement of the carriage, and discussing the blackmail plan...
The carriage suddenly accelerated.
Running wildly on the spacious street, my brother immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly chased him out. But no one could outrun the horse. It didn't take long for the car to disappear.
"Brother, do you think he discovered us?"
The younger brother followed, and after a while he caught up and asked breathlessly.
"No way, we hid it well."
The elder brother said firmly.
Although it was a pity that the target was lost, they quickly locked on a new target, an old unlucky guy who didn't look very rich and was coming out of the bakery.
After they took away the only ten silver Sickles and four Copper Nars that the guy had on him, the sky gradually darkened, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the dim streets than during the day.
Anyway, they had some money, and Brother Foley was going to have a good meal at the Big Pig Head Bar. The two of them were walking and talking and laughing. As they walked, the younger brother stopped.
"Brother...it wasn't during the day..."
The younger brother gave his older brother a wink.
That's right, the carriage they had followed during the day was parked by the door of the Big Pig's Head Bar at the moment. The carriage was empty. Obviously, the black bear coachman and the rich lady were not there.
"Brother, the opportunity has come."
"It seems like today is our lucky day."
The Foley brothers were all smiles.
…
The negotiation did not go as smoothly as expected. When discussing with these adventurers, Reina's jumping thinking made it difficult to keep up.
Of course, this was originally a trial opportunity given to her by the Black Hat Hotel, and it might still be a bit difficult for a newcomer like her.
Reina rubbed her stiff shoulders and walked out of the door. Lochran, who was among a group of drunkards, immediately stood up. However, the bar was crowded with people, the lights were not bright, and people were coming and going. Within a short period of time, Rena's vision was temporarily lost.
When he arrived, Rena's figure had disappeared.
…
Taking advantage of the chaotic environment of the bar, and under the cover of his younger brother, bypassing Lockran's sight, his older brother knocked Reina unconscious and carried her out.
They were as familiar with the Messel neighborhood as if they were visiting their own home. It was dark, and once they got into the alley, it was impossible for Lochran to find Reina, and Reina, a woman, could not beat the two of them. Able to be slaughtered.
The Foley brothers committed crimes with this mentality. They didn't want to kill anyone anyway, they just thought that after completing this job, they would be able to eat and drink for at least a month.
"Don't mention it, young ladies from rich families are good-looking and have fair and tender skin..."
Pleasant conversations echoed in the deserted streets,
sounded at the same time,
There is also an inaudible step,
Following the Foley brothers.
…
Lockran chased him out, and the icy wind filled the cross street. Only the bar behind him was still bustling, which was in stark contrast to the coldness of the street. Occasionally, only the sound of hoofs on the road could be heard.
Most of the shops were closed, and only one or two still had lights on. Locklan opened the door and barged in, regardless of whether the boss would be shocked when he saw his angry look.
Probably a little scared,
After all, even Jiang Chenchuan had never seen Lochlan angry.
He asked the boss if he had seen Reina's whereabouts. The boss was probably frightened, so he just raised a trembling finger and pointed in the direction where the Foley brothers escaped.
"Forley and the others...will something happen?"
After seeing Lockran leave, the boss's wife who was hiding behind stuck her head out and said weakly.
"have no idea."
"Would you like to help call the police?"
"It's useless, we can only wait for them to solve it themselves."
The boss looked at Lockran's figure disappearing into the street and replied helplessly.
Most of the road in the alley was dark, and it was difficult to see what was ahead. Locklen groped for a while, but he couldn't see anyone, let alone Reina.
"Miss Lena!"
Lochran shouted.
But as soon as the sound fell, a female scream was heard not far away. Lockran immediately took action and followed the source of the sound and got into an inconspicuous path.
In addition to moisture, there was also a faint smell of blood in the air. The moonlight fell from the night sky, illuminating the scene of this trail. Reina covered her mouth and tried to control her emotions.
When Lockran arrived, what he saw was this scene:
Two bloody figures were hanging on the wall, with frightened and incredible expressions on their faces. Countless moths were crawling around them, almost wrapping up the entire corpse. Their abdomen was forcibly torn. There seemed to be something inside the body that was visible to the naked eye. growing at a rate.
