Chapter 256 Beiwa
Li Wenbiao crossed the road.

Li Sheng came forward slowly.

Li Wenbiao looked straight ahead and whispered, "There's nothing for you to do now, go back."

As he spoke, he stepped into the Yingbin Hotel and walked up the wooden stairs to the second floor.

Hearing the knock on the door, Qi Yue hid in the side of the closet. Qiu Weihan opened the door and said to Li Wenbiao, "Let's go. I'll take you to see someone."

"No one is here?"

Li Wenbiao asked.

Qiu Weihan made a gesture to keep quiet, closed the door, and went downstairs with his briefcase. Li Wenbiao followed behind him. The two of them left the hotel one after the other and walked towards Beiwa.

"Where's Li Sheng?"

Qiu Weihan asked as he walked.

Li Wenbiao said: "I let him go back."

Qiu Weihan said, "Wen Biao, the person I am taking you to see is one of our undercover personnel. He is the one who formulated the action plan this time. Wait a moment, you will go with him to see the terrain."

"Is he taking part in the operation?"

"No. His identity is special. Once he is recognized, it will be very troublesome."

"Who is the target?"

"Secretary of Security Kitahara Masao."

"Where do we do it?"

"Jiubu Village. Remember, after the mission is completed, do not waste a second and evacuate the scene immediately. I will send someone to pick you up."

"understood……"

The two of them talked as they walked.

Yingbin Hotel is located at a road intersection, and the second floor has a wide view and allows you to see very far, which is also the main reason why Qiu Weihan chose this place.

Qi Yue stood in front of the window, waiting patiently.

After a while, Li Sheng appeared again, walking and stopping along the way, unhurriedly.

After observing for a while, Qi Yue was secretly surprised, because he found that this Li Sheng was indeed unique. He was very good at using crowds, vehicles, trees, buildings, and even light as cover, and he could always find the best way to hide.

Soon, the tracker and the tracked walked farther and farther away and disappeared from sight.

Qi Yue came out of the hotel and drove to a secluded place. Seeing that no one was passing by, he opened the door and got out of the car. He took out a piece of chalk from his pocket, changed the "3" on the front and rear license plates to "8", and then used glue and a little coal ash to cover two of the numbers.

The coal dust blurred the license plate number, so the altered numbers didn't look so abrupt, and unless you looked too closely, you could almost mistake them for the real thing.

Passing by a grocery store, Qi Yue bought two shovels and put them in the trunk, then returned to the car and glanced at his watch. According to the time, Li Sheng would arrive at Beiwa in half an hour.

……

Beiwa is remote and sparsely populated. Most of the residents came here to escape the war. Most of the refugees came from the four provinces of Shanhe. Whether in peacetime or in troubled times, it is human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.

At a fork in the road, Li Sheng carefully identified footprints on the snow. Since entering the Beiwa area, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians and vehicles. He did not dare to follow too closely and could only rely on this method to track them. After walking for a while, he came to a small forest covered with thick snow nearby.

Liu Ming, who had been waiting for a long time, came over and said to Li Sheng, "Brother, I want to ask you how to get to Gouyan Village."

"After the intersection, keep going east."

"Thanks."

When the two were about to pass each other, Liu Ming suddenly turned around, pulled out the wooden stick hidden in his sleeve, and hit Li Sheng hard on the back of the head.

Li Sheng was completely unprepared. He never expected that a stranger on the street would suddenly attack him. In addition, Liu Ming's attack was extremely fast and the two were very close to each other. He had no time to react. He only felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fell on his back.

Liu Ming threw away the stick, grabbed Li Sheng's ankle, and dragged him towards the grove, muttering, "He doesn't look fat, but he's quite heavy..."

The snow and ice on the ground splashed onto Li Sheng's collar, and the bone-chilling cold woke him up slowly. He remained calm, opened his eyes a little and observed the situation around him.

Li Sheng felt relieved when he found out that there was only one person on the other side. He quietly reached for his waist, kicked hard with both feet, kicked Liu Ming to the ground, and stabbed him in the chest with the dagger in his hand.

Liu Ming rolled on the ground and barely avoided the knife. Before he could get up, he was kicked in the face and almost fell down again.

The kick hit his nose and blood immediately flowed out. Liu Ming didn't care at all. He pulled out a dagger from his trouser leg and said with a sneer, "You play with knives, right? You've found the right person. Do you know my nickname? Liu Yidao! I specialize in playing with knives!"

"Why did you sneak up on me?"

Li Sheng asked.

Liu Ming wiped the blood from his nose and said, "Why did I sneak attack you? I just don't like you and want to beat you up. What? Are you not convinced?"

"If you don't tell me, then wait for death!"

The current Li Sheng is no longer the honest man he used to be. His eyes are fierce and murderous, which makes people shudder.

He pressed the spring on the handle hard, and with a click, the short knife suddenly popped out. The short knife, which was less than ten centimeters long, turned into a thirty-centimeter long knife.

Liu Ming couldn't help but take two steps back.

Faced with this long sword that can be used in battle, I only have a dagger and cannot even get close to the opponent, let alone subdue him.

Li Sheng slowly spread out his knife-holding arm and approached Liu Ming step by step.

Liu Ming retreated step by step.

"kill!"

Li Sheng rushed forward with knife raised.

Liu Ming turned and ran.

Li Sheng chased after him relentlessly.

He had secretly made up his mind that no matter what the other party did, he must be killed.

At this time, Qi Yue had already arrived.

He parked the car on the side of the road and followed the drag marks left in the snow towards the grove. Not far into the woods, he stopped. There were obvious signs of a fight on the snow.

Deep in the woods, a figure was swaying.

……

"kill!"

Li Sheng stabbed out with a knife.

Liu Ming was unable to dodge and was pierced by the tip of the knife on the outside of his thigh. He lost his balance in pain and fell down on the snow. Before he could get up, the cold knife was already on his neck.

Li Sheng said: "I'll give you one more chance. We have no grudges against each other. Why did you attack me? You have ten seconds to think about it."

"I'm thinking about your mother."

Liu Ming said with a smile.

"10, 9, 8, 7..."

Li Sheng remained unmoved and counted down meticulously. In his experience, when counting to 3, it is a person's psychological limit and most people will break down and confess.

"Stop wasting time. If I frown, I won't be called Liu Yidao anymore!"

This is Liu Ming's character. He is brave and aggressive, and he doesn't care about his life when fighting. Even if a knife is placed on his neck, he still shows no fear.

He did not sit there and wait for death. He groped in the snow with one hand and touched a fist-sized stone. He held it tightly in his hand, thinking that he would fight back at any time if he had the chance.

Li Sheng gripped the knife handle tightly, still counting down: "6, 5, 4, 3..."

Qi Yue suddenly appeared, raised his gun and shouted, "Don't move, police, put down the knife!"

Li Sheng was startled and turned around slowly.

Qi Yue loaded the bullet with a click and said sternly, "I'll warn you again. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy when the police are investigating a case!"

No matter how long a knife is, it cannot withstand a bullet. Regardless of whether the person coming is a policeman or not, Li Sheng has no choice. He loosens his hand and drops the knife to the ground.

Liu Ming took the opportunity to rush forward.

He had just been stabbed and would have been beheaded if Qi Yue had not arrived in time. He was so angry that he used all his strength to smash Li Sheng's head with the stone in his hand.

"idiot……"

Li Sheng felt dizzy and muttered a curse. His body swayed twice and he fell headfirst onto the snow.

Liu Ming was not satisfied, so he kicked him hard on the head twice.

It's the same for everyone. No matter how many languages ​​they speak, the chances of swearing subconsciously in their native language are highest.

Qi Yue walked forward quickly and squatted down to check Li Sheng's injuries. Liu Ming cursed and looked around for his missing dagger. The dagger did not sink into the snow and could not be found for a while.

Li Sheng suffered a heavy blow to the head, and although there was blood all over his body, it was not fatal. He would wake up soon after resting for a while.

Qi Yue grabbed Li Sheng's head without hesitation and used both hands to exert force. With a click, the cervical vertebrae were broken and the trachea was twisted apart. Without a respiratory system, the person died instantly.

Liu Ming picked up the dagger, put it back into his trouser leg, walked over and said apologetically: "Officer Qi, I'm sorry, I lost my skills this time. I didn't expect this guy to wake up. I should have hit him with a stick at that time..."

"Liu Ming, he's dead."

Qi Yue stood up.

Liu Ming was startled, and quickly squatted down, feeling Li Sheng's breath, and frowned and said, "He's too weak. I didn't say anything when I got stabbed, so how could he die just like that?"

"You struck too hard."

"What's going on?"

"What else can we do? Let's bury it."

"We need to dig a hole. What can we do without a home..."

"You stay here and I'll go buy two shovels. Are you okay?"

Liu Ming said loudly: "For me, Liu Yidao, fighting is a common occurrence. This kind of flesh injury is a piece of cake. It's okay."

"Bandage it first. I have a first aid kit in my car. I'll bring it to you later."

Qi Yue turned to leave.

Liu Ming was stunned for a moment: "Oh, that's not right."

Qi Yue stopped and asked: "What's wrong?"

Liu Ming said: "When I beat him just now, I seemed to hear him say Baga. That old guy Yagi often says this, which means bastard... Could he be Japanese?"

Qi Yue walked over and asked: "Are you sure he meant Baga?"

Liu Ming recalled: "Yes. I was so angry at the time that I didn't pay attention to it. Now I think about it, it must be Baka."

Qi Yue's mind raced, and he quickly came up with an idea: "Take off his pants."

"Why are you taking off your pants?"

"Identify yourself."

"........."

Liu Ming quickly pulled down Li Sheng's cotton trousers and underpants. Li Sheng was wearing ordinary shorts underneath, which were light blue and of a common style.

Qi Yue said: "Not Japanese."

Liu Ming asked: "How do you know?"

Qi Yue explained: "If he is Japanese, he should be wearing the traditional underwear '褌', commonly known as the loincloth."

"Oh, yes, yes..."

Liu Ming does black market business and usually comes into contact with all kinds of people and things. He knows something about Japanese customs.
