In the dark night, two cars far apart ran along a remote road for half an hour, ran out of downtown Las Vegas, and arrived at a wilderness cliffside above Lake Mead.
Paquet threw the bound prisoner to the ground.
Dean got out of the car immediately, and Rust followed cautiously at the end.
"Man, isn't it good to be seen by that guy? Why don't we take some cover measures, such as covering our faces?"
Rust asked. He didn't know whether it was because the night was too cold or because he was nervous. His whole body was shaking like an electric shock, and he was hissing and gasping for air.
"No need!" Dean turned back and smiled meaningfully at him, "Relax, you are so nervous now, there will be more exciting things waiting for you later."
Rust paused, and saw the terrifying palm of the 1.9-meter-tall man in front of him falling from the air, slapping him hard.
Snapped!
A loud slap shattered the dead silence of the night.
Tegan Fran shuddered and rolled on the ground.
Paquet opened a bottle of water and poured it on him.
A cold wind blows.
The latter was trembling all over and opened his eyes.
"woo woo woo woo…"
"Haha, welcome to hell!" Paqui put his face in front of the man, grinned ferociously, reached into his arms and took out a Colt M1911, "The rules of hell are that we ask questions and you answer."
"If you hesitate and lie... you will enjoy VIP level torture."
Click!
Sleeve pull.
He pointed the muzzle of the gun at Scarface's forehead, and the desperado's temperament seemed to be inherent in his big, ferocious face.
"Nod if you understand,"
woo woo woo woo!
The latter's eyes widened and he nodded as if he was pounding garlic!
And Dean watched this scene with great interest, and a realization came to his mind. This uncle had definitely killed people before. He was not a bodyguard, he was a scavenger.
Rust's whole body seemed to be frozen, holding his breath, and a terrible thought kept coming to his mind - this was a naked kidnapping!
Once leaked, the only thing waiting for them is jail!
Paquet tore off the tape on Scarface's mouth. The latter's flexible eyes quickly glanced at the expressionless Dean and Rust behind the big man, especially Rust. He could barely see clearly through the dim moonlight. That familiar face, a flash of enlightenment flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly understood everything.
He consciously lowered his head and buried his face in the sand, and said angrily,
"Guys, I have never offended you. You must have misunderstood something. How about letting me go. I don't know anything and I haven't seen anything!"
His voice was hoarse with a hint of ingratiation, yet surprisingly calm.
"Shut up!"
Snapped!
Slapping, falling to the ground.
Scarface was slapped to the ground by Paqui again, and clear slap marks appeared on his face.
Rust glanced between Paquet and Dean - these two guys are indeed relatives, and they both like to slap people.
"What are we talking about? I'll ask you an answer! One more nonsense and I'll blow your head off!"
Tegan nodded hard.
"Now, let's start from the beginning." Paqui asked slowly, "You set up a trap for Grace Spencer and caused her to owe a huge gambling debt, right?"
"Grace, that beautiful red-haired woman, the hotel clerk, right? I remember her, she visited Casino Royale. But what does the scam mean? I don't understand!" Teigen took a deep breath and explained, "Casino Royale is normal It’s business, Grace lost money and got into debt, it’s legal and compliant!”
"I came to her to collect debts because I was forced by work!"
boom!
A foot kicked the man in the belly. His face instantly turned red and he curled up, turning into a cooked shrimp.
"According to Sheite's rules." Dean retracted his foot, "As a blind man, did you just invite that drunken beauty to a hotel room in the casino?"
"Specializes in deceiving drunkards and newcomers, setting up a trap to make them stumble into gambling debts, and destroy their families! Is this reasonable and legal?" Dean's eyes narrowed into slits, and his white teeth were revealed in his grin, "Then I will let you, too. How about a reasonable and legal trip to hell?”
This face was obviously very young, but it exuded more violence and murderous intent than that of that vicious Indian man.
"No! Don't kill me!" Tegan's body twitched. He didn't understand how he could provoke such two lunatics. It was obvious that Grace only had a son who was a stupid high school student. "I admit it! Grace I took her into a casino when she was drunk. This woman was worried about saving up for her son's college tuition, so I persuaded her."
Rust nodded with a worried expression.
Teigen continued, "But it's not just Casino Royale, 50% of casinos are doing this! I am also helpless because I also owe huge gambling debts and are controlled by the casino. If I don't join them, I will be punished if I don't follow their instructions." die!"
He was lying on his side on the ground, with a pitiful cry on his embarrassed face, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"I'm a victim too!"
"Pretending to be innocent, do you think we are idiots? You lied to Grace, and you forced her to sell her jewelry." Rust walked out from behind Dean, staring at the man with angry eyes, gritting his teeth and wanting to bite him hard. One mouthful, "In January and February, you forced her to resign!"
"I didn't force her! Grace resigned on her own. To pay back the money, she must find a high-paying job."
"What kind of job is that?" Rust asked inexplicably.
"She also joined us," Tegan rolled his eyes and explained hurriedly, "She cooperated with me to lure other guests into the game. The more she deceived, the faster the debt was paid!"
"Impossible!" Rust took a step back as if he was shocked, and quickly explained to Di An, "Grace is not that kind of person. She will never deceive or collude with this guy!"
"Don't get excited, I believe you." Dean nodded towards his pleading companion, "Grace is a good mother and a kind woman."
Dean raised his foot and stepped on Tegan's face hard, causing his body to sink into the sand. His face was blood red and he was hissing in pain, like a puddle of mud.
"You insulted her! How dare you lie! Do you think I can't see it? Do you think I'm a fool?"
boom! boom!
Aiming at the lower back and two feet again.
Tegen suddenly heard the creaking sound of his lumbar spine, and his waist seemed to be broken.
"I said, yes! Grace doesn't want to lie to others with me!" He gasped and struggled to reorganize his words, and then he felt the pressure on his body was relieved, "Grace chose another one. Work...she helps the casino pick up customers and provides door-to-door service."
The air beside the cliff was quiet for a few seconds.
The night wind howled by.
"What...receiving guests?" Rust was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.
"In a casino, besides gambling there is also sex." Teigen explained in a low voice.
Dean looked as expected. He had already guessed this possibility, and then looked at Rust with some worry.
"No wonder she takes baths more frequently. She wants to wash away the dirty things..."
Rust's low roar was choked in his throat, and his trembling hands clenched into fists.
Paqui sighed and put his arm around his shoulders.
"Your mother, Grace is a good woman and a kind person. She would rather suffer and be insulted than coax or exploit others."
Rust lowered his head, shaking, shaking.
A huge sense of humiliation and a feeling worse than death were intertwined in my heart, and finally turned into deep distress.
There was no doubt that his only relative had endured great suffering and suffering during a period of time before which he knew nothing.
But she accepted everything firmly and did not want Rust to distract her at all.
It wasn't Grace who was wrong, it wasn't her!
"It's all your fault!"
"I am going to kill you!"
Rust started punching and kicking Tegan like crazy.
Dean spat at Tegan, went back to the car, took a crowbar and handed it to Rust, who beat him even harder, making shadows of the stick fly.
Ahhhhh!
The shrill wailing echoed in the night for a long time, even the vast expanse of blue lake under the cliff was shaken by it.
"Call back later, we still have a few questions."
Dean stopped Rust, knelt down and patted the dying Tegan’s swollen face.
"If you want to survive, answer honestly, where did Grace drive to in California?"
"I don't know. All guests pay in cash and their identity information is hidden. No one in the casino knows."
Tegan's voice was so weak that she seemed to die at any moment.
"Then what's the point of keeping you?"
Dean lifted Tegan's feet with one hand, like a skinned wild dog, and lifted him below the cliff, shaking him in the air.
The cold wind from high in the sky blew whistlingly, and Tegan, who was hanging upside down on the edge of the cliff top-heavy, had his hair flying around. The cold air that came in front of him cheered him up and suddenly escaped from the groggy feeling.
He glanced down with wide eyes.
The surface of Dehu Lake, which is as thick as ink, is like a huge mouth of an abyss that opens to the extreme.
"Say NO."
Dean's demeanor and tone made people shudder.
"I will let go and let you fall freely. If you fall from this height, the surface of the lake is about as hard as the cement floor."
"Guess what, your head will explode with a bang, your brains will pour into the water, and you will go to hell in pain in a coma."
Go to hell...the voice echoed off the cliff.
Tegan shivered all over.
"GOD, don't let go!" he yelled like crazy,
"Tell me, where did Grace go?" Three pairs of eyes stared at him, like hungry wolves in the night.
Dean shook his arms, and Tegan, who was hanging upside down from the cliff, became a swing again.
"A customer placed her order and asked her to drive to a designated location in California to serve it,"
Tegan yelled, and then he fell to the stable ground again. His chest rose and fell violently, and cold sweat fell from the corners of his open and closed mouth.
"Grace was reluctant to go that far at first...so I resorted to some tricks."
"You hired three gangsters to beat me up?" Rust said coldly,
"Well, your mother couldn't bear to see you hurt, so she accepted the order..."
“Where in California?”
"She went into California for a spin and came back to Las Vegas."
Wadfa?
Surprise appeared in the eyes of the three people. What kind of strange operation is this?
"She's back? Then why didn't LVPD find any surveillance footage of her driving back!"
"We changed cars, and the guest took her back to Las Vegas in his own car at a designated location in California."
"Faco, so the guest lives in Las Vegas! Why didn't he just let Grace come to his door instead of going to the extra step and letting her go out of state on purpose? Is he so bored that he is perverted?!"
"..."
"Don't let go, please! I can only tell you my guess. I think the guest is giving the LVPD police officers a false impression, as if Grace is missing in another state outside of Nevada... and according to my Experience shows that this kind of cross-state disappearance case will most likely be delayed indefinitely and eventually go unsolved."
Rust was stunned for a moment, his voice trembling.
"If he was just looking for fun, he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to deceive the police. Where on earth is he going to get Grace?"
"We never ask questions about our guests' intentions. I don't know."
"GOD! Don't let go before I finish speaking! I couldn't hold back my curiosity. Once I secretly followed the guest and saw his license plate number. I saw him driving back to Lake Las Vegas with someone. I was worried about being discovered. Don’t dare to continue following.”
Lake Las Vegas!
Lock the location!
The system progress jumped to 50%.
Dean and Paqui exchanged a look and asked again,
"What did you mean by once? In addition to Grace, this mysterious guest also ordered other poor women?"
"Yes, he ordered many times and paid ten times the amount of cash as a normal order. Every time he would go out of state and circle around, sometimes to California, sometimes to Utah, Iowa, and Arizona."
"Where are those women?" Dean asked,
"None of the women he selected have ever come back. It's as if they disappeared out of thin air. I agree that this customer spent a lot of money to buy them all!"
Dean's eyes flashed coldly.
This guy first deceived Grace out of her money, then made her lose her dignity to serve the casino, and finally sold her to squeeze out the last bit of value.
No way for people to survive.
"Scum, beast, crazy devil, why did you hurt her like this! You deserve to be shot and put on the electric chair. I'm going to kill you, kill you!" Rust kicked the man's hanging head like crazy,
"Stop fighting...well...spare my life, I'll tell you the guest's car and license plate number,"
"If you don't want to die, just tell me!"
"License plate number DR-4539...a black off-road vehicle."
"Repeat it again..."
"License plate number DR-4539, a black off-road vehicle, entered the Lake Las Vegas area."
"repeat!"
Teigen frantically repeated it five times, and the survey jumped from fifty percent to sixty percent.
Dean hands Rusty a crowbar and lets him let it out, beating Tegan until he breaks all his bones and passes out.
Rust threw away the blood-stained crowbar, his figure was shaky, he clenched and unclenched his fists, his red eyes stared at the man, and he murmured with a cry in his throat,
"No one has ever come back."
"No one can come back..."
"Grace has only been missing for three days. If you have enough time, she is probably still alive!" Dean patted his face, "We can rescue her if we find the mysterious guest!"
"Yes, the Lake District is right next to Lake Mead. Let's find that off-road vehicle!"
A glimmer of hope rekindled in Rust's eyes.
"You two, before we set off, we have to make preparations and clean up our mess." Paquet looked at Tegan who was unconscious on the ground, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "This guy knows too much and has seen our Face, we have to deal with him if we don’t want to go to jail.”
He looked at Dean, who nodded, took out a pistol, turned off the safety, loaded it, handed it to Rust, looked into his eyes, and said without a doubt, "Do it."
Dean turned to the dark lake below the cliff,
“Let Lake Mead keep our secret forever.”
Rust suddenly grabbed the pistol and aimed it at Tegan's head.
The young and handsome face was dripping with tears, with hatred, humiliation, and sadness constantly changing, and he couldn't pull the trigger for a long time.
"You forgot how he treated Grace! He made Grace suffer humiliation, and finally sold her to a pervert! His crime is unforgivable and he deserves to die!"
Dean yelled at his companions, his cheeks flushed with blood, his eyes burning with fire.
"shot!"
boom!
Gunfire.
Blood spattered.
The gunpowder turned into white smoke and filled the air. Rust put down the gun, and the hesitation in his eyes turned into determination.
