nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 27

After familiarly opening the manhole cover with his head, Marco was not in a hurry to go up. He first carefully exposed half of his head and looked around.

When he saw that the manhole cover was directly connected to someone's yard, Marco's face showed a trace of joy~
Marko carefully climbed out of the manhole cover and hid under the edge of the window on tiptoe. When Marko squatted under the corner and did not hear the sound of anyone walking~
The "thief" craft that Marco was forced to learn once again played a role.

The tiptoeing Marko is very familiar with the layout of this American-style old house in the 60s, and Adnan and others did not deliberately hide the location of the "meat ticket"~
Alice West, swollen into a big loaf~
An old white man with blood on his face, and an old woman who doesn't look pretty!
After seeing Marco's appearance, Alice West, who had a swollen face, stared at her big eyes in surprise and moaned non-stop. Marco quickly raised his middle finger and made a gesture. "Hush" emoji~
Alice West, who was swollen into a bread face, shrank her neck quickly when she saw Marco's expression, and looked towards the door in fear~
At this time, Adnan and a group of his partners were already walking towards the door with their bags and bags.

When Marco saw the situation, he turned around and ran towards the rear window~
Pushing open the window, Marco disappeared into the house with a light jump!
Adnan, who entered the room, did not notice the abnormality of Alice West as soon as he entered the door. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at the old white man who had collapsed on the ground without moving, and said, "Feed him something to eat." , don’t let him die here, more or less is money!”

Adnan just walked up to Alice West and casually took out a hamburger from the kraft paper bag in his hand and threw it on her body like feeding a dog.

But Alice West seems to have awakened her desire to survive again after seeing Marco, and then turned her head away after glancing at Adnan~
Adnan laughed out loud when he saw Alice West's appearance, and immediately turned his head and said to the younger brothers behind him: "Did I pretend to be tough with me when I was dying? I won't talk to you either." Don't worry, your fiancé brought the money this afternoon, and you don't have much time to live!"

After saying this, Adnan walked to the window opened by Marco with a beer in his left hand and a cigarette in his right hand, and slowly smoked a cigarette. The occasional bursts of cigarettes brought by the wind made Adnan unable to help himself. close your eyes~
Adnan didn't care about the little brothers behind him playing poker in another room~
"No matter who gave you the courage to treat me like this when I left, I have to kill him!"

Marco, who was sweating profusely, could no longer care about the stinky smell on his body. After he escaped from the demolition area, Marco found a newspaper as quickly as he could and took it out. All the cash given to him was thrown on the newsstand of the newsstand~
"I'm calling~"

The owner of the newsstand took a glance at him and took out the landline locked in the iron cabinet and put it on the newsstand~
"Hey! Tao Xi, I found their location! The location is in the demolition area of ​​the East Side of San Francisco. You can ask Raven for the specific location. There is a dilapidated 7-story building there. I am waiting for the sewers there. you!."

"No! I won't go back! Come quickly! If you come, we can definitely get paid by their family!"

"You can rest assured that I must do this on the premise of my own life safety. I will definitely not go there again."

"Oh, don't talk so much, come quickly!!!"

Marco hung up the phone and ignored the 4 cents given to him by the owner of the newsstand behind him, turned his head and ran towards the direction he came from.

Marco suddenly found his own pleasure in the matter of "Nightcrawler"! ! !

It can’t be said to be fun, but it’s actually the feeling of being needed. A child who escaped from an orphanage since he was a child lacks a sense of security the most. When his elder brother who grew up with him suddenly changed a lot, he was very afraid. Abandoned again~
So he worked extra hard this time~
Tao Xi walked in a hurry.

With a hundred-dollar bill in his pocket, Tao Xi frantically urged the taxi he caught on the black market in the Tenderloin District.

The driver of this taxi is a white uncle~
At the beginning, he was still joking with Tao Xi from time to time. When the driver found out that Tao Xi ignored him, the white man just drove silently.

Finally after 45 minutes~
Tao Xi finally arrived at the dilapidated seven-story building without doors and windows that Marco had mentioned.

In the process of consulting with Raven before Tao Xi set off, he learned that after Tao Xi knew that this place used to be the old city in the East Side of San Francisco, Tao Xi was also stunned for a moment. Opposite the police station, we played "Black Under the Light", and when we got here, there was a wave of mess~
But he reacted quickly!

old town
Dirty, messy, and poor are his own attributes. If the police in San Francisco come here to investigate, it will definitely be a big expense. Just like the 10000 million-kilometer sewer in Los Angeles, no state government or city finance is stupid. Come here and search.

Tao Xi who came here couldn't care less about hiding his whereabouts~
His top priority now is to find Marco first. As for the death of the daughter of the West family, it has nothing to do with him.

The exterior has been weathered for a long time, and the exterior of the small seventh floor has been weathered into a bad shape. The surroundings are either gravel or broken bricks~
Tao Xi deliberately searched for a few times before finding a manhole cover with missing corners in a pile of rocks~
Before Tao Xi lifted the manhole cover, he took a look at the footprints around the manhole cover~
When Tao Xi found out that there were several sets of footprints about the same size as him, Tao Xi was relieved~
Because Tao Xi can be sure that Marco is indeed waiting for him under the manhole cover as he said on the phone!

When Tao Xi went down into the sewer, based on the principle of caution, Tao Xi did not go to the sewer to call for Marco, but waited for his sight to adapt to the light of the sewer, then Tao Xi lowered his voice and called out in a low voice Marco's name~
Meanwhile, Alize West, the rich daughter of the old West family, finally knows what it was like in the darkest hour of then British Prime Minister Winston Churchill!
Only when a person is on the scene will he suddenly realize~
Alice West is in this state, from the moment when she was kidnapped at a loss, to the beating of her by the kidnappers, which made her miserable, and then to the fact that a little boy recognized her~
Her mood has been ups and downs like a roller coaster for a while!
Just when she thought she could be saved, the kidnappers were like carrying a mouse, and the little boy was dragged out of the sewer by them!

Adnan saw the astonished expression on Alice West's face and proudly shook Marco, who was being held by his ankle: "Do you think this little bug can save you! It's ridiculous, what a trick Poor thief, if you don't wipe your footprints when you enter the door, do you think I don't know that someone has been there?"

After Adnan finished speaking, he saw Alice West's expression of despair and threw Marco towards the wall.

There seems to be something wrong with Adnan, he seems to be enjoying the despair of Alice West at this moment~
Adnan, who was squatting in front of Alice West, kept blowing air on Alice West's face, and Alice West kept kicking his legs and trying to back away ~
"Hide!"

"Escape!"

"Hahahaha! The police in San Francisco are not as fast as you think. My pickup truck has burned down. It burned down on the west side of San Francisco, and we are on the east side. Don't worry, I still have 1 hour to torture you , I can kill you when I get your fiancé's money!"

"Six people showed their faces separately, and there is a green pickup truck that seems to be the target. Who are you going to find me?"

As a gold medal kidnapper who has committed many crimes for many years in a row, Adnan really has a few brushes. When he first found Marko's footprints, he didn't have many troubles, because at this time he was in the open, and Marko In the dark!

But when Adnan discovered the footprints left by Marko in the room, Adnan immediately made a decision.

Just let his younger brother start suicide exposure~
How can he be exposed?
Just wearing all the elements that he has announced to the outside world~
When a suspected kidnapper appears in the city center with great fanfare, will the San Francisco police remain indifferent?
Adnan, who was waiting for the rabbit, quietly caught Marco near the manhole cover, and then released several younger brothers to release smoke bombs in several directions~
As for the accomplice who quarreled with him at the beginning, Adnan did not allow any disobedient voices in his small group, that old white man has been taught several times by him~
As for Marko, the little reptile, Adnan never noticed it~
The exhausted San Francisco police opened the door wide, and Adnan also took the opportunity to ask John Hughes to come with the money and put the money in the trash can in front of the San Francisco Third Precinct!
The trash can there has long been tampered with, and it leads directly to the sewer below San Francisco!

The sewers!Who hasn't slept in difficult times?

The complacent Adnan enjoys the refreshing feeling brought by Alice West's despair~
But after the little Dalton saw Taoxi drilled into the sewer, the little Dalton suddenly got a little bit of a brain. Could it be that the other party has discovered him?

Out of caution, little Dalton did not follow the drill, but tried to find the exit along the manhole cover on the ground~
After all, the dark and lightless sewer ghost knows what is waiting for him inside~
Just like that, little Dalton lowered his head and crossed a pile of rocky beaches and a 4-meter-high garbage dump. After a long circle, little Dalton suddenly found something that surprised him!

That is a fast food box for nearly ten people, and the most important thing is that there is a new bag from the famous brand Gucci~
If Little Dalton remembers correctly, Alice West has a bag like this, and this bag is a birthday gift from John Hughes to her fiancée~
It was because of this bag that Alice West decided to give his fiancé a business car!
Little Dalton, who was a smart man, immediately thought that the child in tatters must be an accomplice of the kidnappers!

The more he thinks that he is right, the little Dalton ignores the importance of the safety of the surrounding environment. Just when Adnan was about to look around to see if the surrounding environment was safe according to the usual practice, Adnan suddenly saw a man wearing a leather jacket. A very fashionable person appeared in front of the yard~
Adnan is not surprised if there is a cleaner or a waste picker.

But a stylishly dressed guy shows up here, and Adnan's first instant is the FBI!

Because only the FBI can have a generous salary and can still find it here, Adnan showed a sly smile at the corner of his mouth when he thought of it~
The pistol in his hand didn't wait for little Andor to react, he raised his hand and threw it away~
A sharp pistol shot from behind made little Andor fall to the ground before he had time to react. Little Andor looked back at the man who was walking towards him and suddenly froze!

"Are you with that little boy!"

Adnan was not used to Little Andor's stinking problem, so he stepped on his head and didn't give him a chance to say a second sentence. After all, the famous Hollywood aphorism is "bad people die by talking too much"!
Before Adnan fired the second shot, a gust of wind hit his back!
Just let Adnan fall to the ground, before Adnan could turn around, Little Andor saw Tao Xi kicking Adnan down from the courtyard wall, and whispered: "It's you!"

Seeing that Adnan was kicked to the ground, Tao Xi couldn't hold back his strength, and knelt on the ground panting on one knee.

After all, he is an adult man, and this adult man seems to be exercising regularly. If it hadn't been for a surprise, he and little Andor would definitely have crashed here.

"I told you a long time ago that you are targeting the wrong target! You are such an idiot, after today you will be your lawyer honestly!" The elbow hit Adnan stunned~
Adnan's reaction was also very fast. He first rolled around on the ground to avoid Taoxi's attack, then raised his hand and shot several times in the direction of Taoxi and Andor Jr.
Although Little Andor is persistent, he is not stupid. When Tao Xi was head-to-head with the other party, he found a small dirt bag and curled up~
But Tao Xi did not hide, because Tao Xi knew that there was a Marko whose life and death were uncertain in the room behind him!

There is always enough bullets in the pistol, Tao Xi is betting!
One of Tao Xi's favorite things to do in the boxing ring is to exchange injuries for injuries, let alone with Adnan, a desperado!

But Tao Xi didn't want to have any emotion of fear!

Tao Xi, who was crooked, tried to reduce the contact area between himself and the bullet, but Adnan inevitably hit his shoulder!
