Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 127 Decision, explanation

"I'm just a bodyguard now. I have a message for Mr. Ke by the way. I don't care what the outcome is. I will tell Mr. Ke exactly what Inspector Zhou just said."

Zhou Sheng frowned:
"Whatever you say, that's your business! If I tell you what I'm saying here, the fellow villagers will interfere in the side business on Boundary Street. You don't want Ke Wanchang to even think about it. It's impossible!"

"excuse me."

Long Chenghu's face was very calm, just like his reticent character, and he said no more.

When he turned around, he glanced at Li An again, his eyes a little eager to try.But in the end, he walked to a table not far from Audrey and sat down, looking at her quietly.

"Is it troublesome?" Li An suddenly said.

"Isn't it just a hometown association? How can it cause any trouble?"

Zhou Sheng's brows relaxed, with a smile on his face: "Besides, when did you ever hear that detectives are still afraid of a few bad guys?"

Although Zhou Sheng said it lightly, Li An could clearly feel that Zhou Sheng's previous expression was not as relaxed as his current tone indicated.

However, Li An didn't say much, he just echoed:
"That's right. A small group that can be suppressed by plainclothes cannot hold its head high. Detective, even if you give him a few courages, he won't dare."

"That's fine." Zhou Sheng shrugged, his expression relaxed.

Li An chuckled and took the initiative to change the topic:
"Brother Sheng, by the way, I've been here for such a long time and the banquet is over. You haven't introduced me to your childhood sweetheart yet?"

When Zhou Sheng heard this, he was relieved and at the same time, he rarely blushed.

Li An saw Zhou Sheng's expression in his eyes, couldn't hold back his laughter and joked:
"No, you are a grown man and you still blush. Are you shy?"

"Talk nonsense."

Zhou Sheng laughed and cursed, pulled Li An's arm, and said:
"Follow me and I'll take you to get to know me."

Chen Qichang was sitting at the table, drinking tea leisurely, while Chen Xinyi, who was sitting opposite him, and Audrey, who was next to him, were talking quietly.

"This is Uncle Chang."

Zhou Sheng brought Li Anxian to Chen Qichang.

The man with gray temples stretched out his right hand towards Li An,

"Chen Qichang."

"Uncle Chang." Li An held Chen Qichang's hand.

"You are Asheng's junior brother, so you are one of our own, so you don't need to be too polite." Chen Qichang had obvious crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and smiled heartily.

"It should be." The other person was Zhou Sheng's uncle, so Li An's attitude was very low-key and he seemed to be humble and polite.

"good."

Chen Qichang smiled at Li An.

Then he stood up and said to Zhou Sheng: "I am here, and you young people can't let go. I have been busy all night and I am a little tired, so I will leave first and you can chat for a while."

"Uncle, let me see you off." Zhou Sheng stretched out his hand to hold the other person's arm.

"I'm old and can't walk, so I don't need you to take me with me."

Chen Qichang waved his hand and refused, and left slowly alone.

Chen Xinyi glanced at Zhou Sheng: "My dad didn't let you deliver it, so he asked you to accompany the guests. Why don't you ask your guys to help deliver it?"

Zhou Sheng scratched his head in embarrassment with a gentle smile.

He turned around and shouted to the plainclothes men who were sitting around the table pushing Pai Gow not far away: "Li Dong, go see uncle off."

"I got it, Brother Sheng."

Li Dong responded and pushed the Pai Gow in front of him.

"I'm going to do business now. When I come back, I'll kill you to pieces."

……

"This is Chen Xinyi. She currently works at Andre Law Firm in Tsim Sha Tsui and is a trainee barrister."

"Sister Xinyi."

Li An nodded.

Chen Xin smiled brightly:

"You're welcome. Listen to Asheng, you are a businessman now. If you need help with any sales agreements, contracts, etc., just come to me."

As she spoke, she pulled Audrey beside her and introduced to Li An:
"This is my good friend, Audrey."

"Ke Wanchang's daughter?"

Li An looked at the woman opposite.

Audrey looked sweet in a red dress.She looked at Li An in surprise.

"You know my dad?"

"It's an acquaintance."

Li An was vague.

Zhou Sheng, who was standing next to him, raised his eyebrows.

The few of them chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Li An didn't stay too long and was the first to say goodbye. He said hello to Zhou Sheng and left the restaurant.

A man stood at the door of the restaurant and hesitated for a while, then looked back at the second floor of the restaurant.

"It seems like it's time for me to go to the Walled City."

Li An pondered in his heart.

There are many masters in the walled city, but the ones with the most masters undoubtedly belong to the hometown association.

There are three giants inside, each occupying a prostitute village, gambling house, and opium den, and behind them there is an ultimate boss who controls the killer organization.The main theme is that a hero has no tears and the hero is ruthless!

The martial arts skills of several people are also different, such as grappling, wrestling, Tai Chi, Shen Da, and Iron Cloth Shirt.
Needless to say, in order to improve your hand-to-hand combat ability, you must master grappling and wrestling.But if there is one thing that makes Ang Lee jealous, it is the iron cloth shirt that can be called a bug.

Li An's original plan was to at least wait for the dock to stabilize in an orderly manner, then arrange the registration matter, and then go to the walled city by himself.But tonight's conversation between Long Chenghu and Zhou Sheng made him decide to go to the Walled City in advance.

Zhou Sheng said it easily at the time, but Li An understood that Zhou Sheng was still quite afraid of the hometown association.

Also, the other party dared to kill even a ghost guy, so why be afraid of him as a detective.It was difficult for Li An to guarantee that the other party would not do anything to implicate Zhou Sheng's relatives in order to force Zhou Sheng to submit.

It is better to expect these people to have a bottom line than to believe that a sow can climb a tree.

Ang Lee has always believed that if there is a problem, then solve it.If it’s not easy to solve, then solve the people who created the problem.

Preemptive strike!

This is Ang Lee’s consistent principle of doing things!

Since fellow villagers will be a problem, then we can just solve this problem easily when planning the Iron Cloth Shirt.

"Li An."

A somewhat tired voice suddenly came, interrupting Li An's thoughts.

Li An followed the sound and saw Huaman walking out of the darkness holding a handbag and looking at him.

"You've been waiting for me outside?"

"Well, I want to talk to you." Huaman said softly.

Li An thought for a while and nodded in agreement:

"can."

To Li An's expectation, Huaman did not take him to a quiet place. Instead, he walked along Boundary Street for a while and turned into an alley.

Compared with the crowds outside, the alley seemed very deserted, with not even two pedestrians.

Huaman took Li An to a noodle stall. The stall owner was an old man who looked to be in his 60s and had a face full of vicissitudes of life.

Seeing Huaman coming over, the old man smiled. "Miss Huaman, is it still bean sprout soup?"

"Well, let's have two bowls."

Huaman nodded slightly.

"Bean sprout soup sobers up a hangover."

"That's just right. I drank a little too much tonight."

In front of the small yellow wooden square table, the two people sat opposite each other.

"If it's really just a small favor and it's easy for me to do. Then have you ever thought about the possibility that I would agree to you directly even if we haven't slept together?"

What Li An said that night seemed to still echo in her ears, and Huaman lowered her eyes.

"I'm sorry about that night."

Li An frowned.

That is to say, Li An understands Hua Man's past and knows that the other person is not bad in nature, but he is wary of everyone because of his tragic childhood experience.

But then again, understanding is understanding, and it would be unrealistic for Li An to have no grudges about what happened that night.

After all, no one can pretend that nothing happened if they are plotted against for no reason.

Even though I took advantage of it that night.
After a while, Li An sighed:
"If you came here specifically to say sorry, then there's no need. Thanks to your help in placing bets during these days of boxing, we can treat it as even."

But Huaman fell silent when she saw Li An's calm expression.

When the soup came, Li An got up to pick it up.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave after finishing the bean sprout soup."

Li An placed the soup in front of Hua Man and said something calmly before picking up his bowl.

After finishing the drink in a few sips, just when he was about to get up and leave, the silent Huaman finally spoke:
".I want to ask you to help me check something."

After hesitating for a moment, she took out a brown paper bag from her handbag and placed it in front of Li An.

"This is 5 yuan. It is considered a reward. If you are not satisfied, the conditions for that night still count."

At the end, her voice became much softer.

Li An frowned:
"Is this what you wanted that night?"

The woman took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Yes."

Li An thought for a while and looked up at her: "You tell me first, I don't guarantee that I will agree?"

Huaman spoke slowly, her tone trembling:

"15 years ago, a man named Chao Mengshan in Kowloon Walled City was framed for murder. He had no choice but to surrender at the Kowloon District Police Station, hoping that the police station could help find out the truth. But he did not want to be plotted in the detention room and escaped from the police station. . I want to know the identities of the three people who were imprisoned with Chaomeng Mountain."

Li An understood clearly: "For revenge?"

"Yes!"

What Li An didn't expect was that Huaman admitted it directly.

Li An was a little stunned.

He calmed down and said, "You don't have to ask me for this matter. 5 yuan is such a big sum of money. I don't think those errands will refuse it. Even if you are too weak, with your skills, you can just grab a few The troll can be used as a fire stick policeman, and he can also force him to question him."

Last time Li An was able to easily subdue Hua Man, it does not mean that Hua Man is inferior in skill.Even compared to the three giants of the hometown association, Huaman was better. It can only be said that Huaman was too angry at that time.

Huaman shook his head: "It's not that I haven't investigated, but 15 years is too long. The police officers who were in charge of the detention room have changed a lot. If they start a big fight, they will alert the snake. Zhou Sheng is your senior brother, he said, what happened It’s easy to find out.”

Li An did not agree immediately, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking.

Huaman looked at him blankly.

After a while, Li An stood up and took the money.

".I promise you. I will call Zhou Sheng tomorrow morning. You can go to the mission office to find him in the afternoon."

"Li An."

Li An had just taken two steps when Huaman behind him suddenly stopped him.

".If I live, that condition will stand forever."

Li An said nothing, paused for a moment, and then left without looking back.

Walking out of the alley and looking at the crowded streets, Li An sighed.

The mountains are difficult to overcome, so who feels sad for those who have lost their way!Who can understand the misfortune of fate, and who can sympathize with it?

Li An didn't know what he was thinking when he agreed to Huaman.
Maybe a little more sympathy?

The next day, just after dawn, Li An came to report early.

"Brother An, you're here."

Ah Xin was checking the cargo list and stood up quickly when he saw Li An coming.

"Ah."

Li An nodded in greeting, took a copy of the Times, opened it, took a look at it, and asked casually:
"Three newspaper stalls opened on Rumsey Street yesterday. How is the business?"

"It all depends on Brother An's vision and the location of the stall is well chosen. Although it can't keep up with the business of the north-south line, it is almost the same as the several stalls on the pier."

"Stop flattering!"

Li An laughed and cursed.Then he said with a serious face:
"You said I chose the stall locations well, so let me ask you, what's so good about these locations? The time you spent helping me sort out the stalls wasn't short. If you were more careful, you should be able to tell something.

Think carefully and don't rush into an answer. "

Ah Xin frowned and thought for a while, then observed Li An's face and said:
"Except for the three stalls at the pier, whether they are north-south stalls or Rumsey Street, these stalls are all at T-shaped or cross-shaped intersections."

"continue."

". Being at the center of a vertical and horizontal intersection, apart from the large flow of people, it is also very conspicuous. Whether they are pedestrians on the left or right, or pedestrians coming from below, they can immediately see the stalls on the roadside."

"good."

Li An nodded in satisfaction.

After receiving the affirmation, A Xin also showed a hint of excitement on his face.

"Starting from tomorrow, I will rarely come to the dock for a while, and I will leave all filing matters to you. Don't just focus on these filings, you must learn to let go and leave it to the guys below. If it's not enough, then look for Wu Shihao.

I have only one request. If I can’t give you a few filings, just give me a few back.What you just said about the location of the stall is very clear, so go ahead and do it boldly. Once the location is selected, go to the police station and ask He Yi to help you apply for a license. "

After a pause, Li An continued:
"As for money, you don't have to worry about it. The income from filing these days is enough. Do you have any questions?"

Ah Xin just hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed:
"no problem!"

Li An put down the newspaper and patted Ah Xin on the shoulder:

"That's right. People are forced out by themselves. Opportunities are given to you. How do you know if you can do it if you don't do it?"

Now that we have decided to go to the walled city to plan the iron shirts and solve the problem of the hometown association, it is definitely not something that can be solved in three or two days. Naturally, some things must be explained clearly in advance.

Li An is confident. With his skills alone, no one like Feng Chunmei from the hometown association can be his opponent.Even Yang Zhuluan, who has an iron cloth shirt, can escape intact even if he cannot break his defense.

But he didn't think about rushing into the walled city alone. That's not confidence, that's arrogance.

Make a plan and then move!
Li An didn't like to do anything he wasn't sure about, so he naturally had to make some preparations in advance before entering the walled city.

"I didn't buy three short dogs last time, why do I need so many? Besides, Chaozhou Ming's next batch of goods is still several days away, and there aren't that many bullets."

Wu Shihao chewed and swallowed the barbecued pork buns in his mouth and looked at Li An with a strange expression.

"You don't have to buy a short dog, you can buy anything else. You can take me to see what he has."
