Strange Cards

Chapter 227: The Investigation Begins

Shi Yu looked at Bei Hai, who was wearing a police uniform, and couldn't help but smile.

"But I don't have a good impression of your criminal investigation team."

"After all, the last time I dealt with you guys, someone dared to point a gun at my head."

"If I don't take action soon, you'll all think I'm made of dough, won't you?"

When Beihai heard Shiyu mention this matter, he couldn't help but curse Li Haiwei from the bottom of his heart. However, this human trafficking case involved a lot of things, so Beihai had no choice but to seek help from the hunters.

However, just as Beihai was about to say something, Shiyu spoke first.

"But compared to hating you, I hate those who sell children even more."

"After all, we hunters have three children, and one of them is even mine."

"Let's have a proper talk. We're willing to take action."

After hearing Shi Yu's story, Bei Hai's face lit up with joy, and he led Shi Yu and Liu An toward a small conference room.

……

"This is the intelligence our police have."

"Most of these people operate on Dongxin Street in the old city, where there are also several triads."

"The underworld? Is it some kind of guy with a blind left eye and a face full of pockmarks and blond hair?"

"Do you know him?"

Beihai looked at Shiyu, his expression slightly excited.

"That man is called Wang Mazi. In layman's terms, he is the local tyrant of the Dongxin Street area, that is, the boss with a group of henchmen."

"We investigated him several times, but he always claimed he didn't know. And even when we investigated, it was as if the information had been prepared in advance; we couldn't find anything useful at all."

Shi Yu rubbed her chin and then said.

"Captain Beihai, please take your men and go back to Hunters with Sister Liu An to discuss the next steps with our boss."

"I'll go ask Wang Mazi what happened."

"Will it work?"

Beihai looked at Shiyu, who was about to leave the conference room, and asked with some concern.

Shigure turned his head, smiled, and then looked towards Hokkaido.

"Who do you think gouged out his blind eye?"

……

Shi Yu drove to an arcade.

After parking the car, Shi Yu went inside and addressed the receptionist.

"Send your boss, Wang Mazi, to see me."

"Tell him that if I don't see him in three minutes, I'll come to his door and gouge out his remaining eye."

"He should remember who gouged out his left eye."

Meanwhile, a group of thugs with dyed hair and tattoos rushed over with iron bars after hearing Shi Yu's arrogant words. One of them, a blond-haired leader, pointed at Shi Yu and said...

"Who do you think you are? Trying to see our boss...?"

Before Huang Mao could finish speaking, Shi Yu flashed by and pinned Huang Mao to the ground.

Shiyu grabbed the blond-haired man with one hand, pressing his knee against the man's spine.

"My knee is now pressing against your fourteenth vertebra."

"If I just exert a little force now, you'll never be able to stand up again in your lifetime."

As Huang Mao cursed, he tried to break free, only to find that Shi Yu's slender figure had a pair of hands like iron clamps, and no matter how hard Huang Mao tried, he couldn't break free.

The other henchmen were instantly frightened and began to back away.

Upon seeing this, the receptionist quickly called Wang Mazi, while Shi Yu took the opportunity to pull out a bundle of extremely thin rope from her person and tied Huang Mao up like a dumpling, then threw it aside.

Soon, a fleshy mountain with a scar on his face and dyed yellow hair on his head walked over, and Shi Yu recognized him at a glance as Wang Mazi.

Because Wang Mazi's left eye, covered by an eyepatch, was too distinctive, and when Wang Mazi stormed in, ready to see which bastard dared to curse him like that, he saw Shi Yu leaning against the front desk with a smile on her face.

"Shigure...?"

"Oh, you still recognize me?"

"Two minutes and fifty-seven seconds have passed now. If you had arrived three seconds later, you would have lost your other eye."

"What are you doing here? Didn't you say you were no longer in the underworld?"

Shi Yu smiled, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

"I may not be involved in the underworld anymore, but that doesn't stop me from coming to see you now."

Shi Yu took a deep drag and smoked most of the cigarette, then threw it on the ground and stomped on it.

"Wang Mazi, do you have a business selling sheep here?"

Upon hearing Shi Yu's words, a clear hint of panic flashed across Wang Mazi's face, but he quickly masked it.

But Shi Yu was faster than Wang Mazi in disguising himself. He pulled out a gun from his waistband and pointed it directly at Wang Mazi.

"Your disguise is good, but a hint of panic still showed on your face."

"Don't try to argue with me. The fact that I've come to you today to ask about this proves that I must have some evidence."

"You have to answer whatever I ask, or I'll have to treat you to seaweed and egg drop soup."

"The kind without vegetables, without flower soup."

"Are you fucking crazy? You have a gun and you dare to pull it out in public?"

"Put the gun away, and I can pretend this never happened and I won't tell the police."

"There are some things you shouldn't ask, don't ask them. Asking too many will get you killed."

After Wang Mazi finished speaking, he turned to leave, and then Shi Yu fired a shot directly at the door in front of Wang Mazi.

The crisp gunshot rang out, startling the receptionist, his staff, and everyone playing games in the arcade, who all crouched down with their heads in their hands.

"I'm not kidding you, Wang Mazi."

"The cops sent me to question you, so you'd better tell the truth."

"Otherwise, once this matter is over and Boss Cui and his gang find out, even if the police don't put you in jail, Boss Cui and his gang will definitely make you suffer a terrible death."

"After all, Boss Cui's daughter was kidnapped by the sheep seller back then. If it weren't for Boss Cui's abilities, his daughter would be nowhere to be found now."

"Do you think going to jail is better, or is the torture method used by Boss Cui better?"

Wang Mazi turned around and looked at Shi Yu with a grin.

"I'd like to see if you dare to fire a second shot and kill me."

"You probably only have one bullet left in that gun."

"You're right."

As Shi Yu spoke, he put the pistol back on his waistband, and then, to Wang Mazi's horrified gaze, pulled out a revolver.

"The cops said that if I kill someone, I won't be held responsible."

"Of course, if I really kill him, I won't be held responsible."

As Shigure spoke, he took out seven bullets from his pocket, then ejected the drum magazine from his revolver and loaded the seven bullets one by one.

I'll give you ten seconds to think about it.

"If my revolver jams after firing seven bullets in a row in ten seconds, I..."

"They switched to machine guns."
