Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 339: It’s not too late, the head is presented!

There's poison in the letter?!

Torii Ryuzo's men want to poison me?

Blind Ah Hui seemed to guess that I was confused.

Explained: "When he gave me the letter, I smelled something different."

usually.

The only odors you could smell on the letter were the paper, the printing ink, and the ink or ballpoint pen grease used to write it.

Of course, most people don’t go out of their way to smell the scent of a letter.

When I was studying with Professor Zhang, sometimes when I was bored I would smell the ink on the books, the ink in the ink bottle, etc.

So I have some understanding of this aspect.

But Blind Ah Hui is different.

He was born with a good nose and is much more sensitive to smells than ordinary people.

In addition, after becoming blind, people rely more on sensory abilities such as smell and hearing.

So the nose is more sensitive than before.

"That's an extremely faint chemical smell that ordinary people can't smell at all."

"Only my natural dog nose can smell it."

"And the smell of that chemical solution is very familiar to me!"

"After recalling it, I found out that it was a chronic poison gas created by the Japanese during the Republic of China period!"

"I smelled that poisonous gas when I was imprisoned by Torii Ryuzo!"

"It's what Torii Ryuzo used to control tomb robbers. Anyone who smells it will be poisoned!"

I was terrified when I heard it.

Using chronic poison to control tomb robbers for your own benefit is worse than animals!

Fortunately, blind Ah Hui saw through this trick.

Otherwise, my fate...

I don’t dare to think about it anymore.

"They want to control you with this poison."

"They want you to rob graves for them!"

"Even though I opened the envelope and cleaned it, there's still some odor left. I'm not sure if that residue will poison you."

"But it's better to be cautious."

"Find something sealed and put the letter in it."

"Find a way to clear the poison gas before reading the letter."

"Cough cough!" Blind Ah Hui started coughing violently.

His skinny body shook constantly as he coughed.

His face began to turn pale.

The body gradually tilted to one side.

Finally, he curled up in bed.

"I'm almost done."

"Remember my words, take your things and go."

I was so anxious that I wanted to pick him up: "Senior, I'll take you to the hospital!"

But he closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.

"leave me alone."

"I saw my son coming to pick me up."

"We are going to be reunited."

"If you really want to help me, take my ashes back with you."

“Fallen leaves always return to their roots.”

"Take my ashes and find Ren, Ren Quan..."

The voice gradually faded away.

Even if I put my ear close to his mouth, I couldn't hear what he said.

"senior!"

I coaxed my eyes and gently pushed him.

He had closed his eyes and was completely dead.

Bang!

The door was pushed open.

Boss Dong stood outside the door in a daze.

He walked in slowly.

He knelt down in front of the bed.

I quickly took two steps back and stood beside the bed: "Brother Dong, what are you doing?"

Boom!

Boss Dong started to eat the body of blind Ah Hui.

"Uncle Luo, I was wrong before."

"I mistakenly identified you as the culprit who murdered my family."

"After listening to you, I think it through!"

"I kowtow to you and apologize."

Boom!

After kowtowed twice more, Boss Dong stood up with the help of the ground.

With a guilty look on his face, he said, "Uncle Luo, I will help you arrange your funeral and give you a grand funeral..."

"cough."

I coughed, interrupting him.

"Brother Dong, Senior Luo wants to return to his roots."

"He asked me to send his ashes back to his hometown for burial."

Boss Dong nodded and said, "That's right."

"He has no relatives or friends on Hong Kong Island, so he would be a lonely ghost if buried here."

"It would be better to go back to my hometown and be buried with my family."

"Then I'll contact someone to have him cremated."

"Pack up what you need to take and move it to the car."

I packed my suitcase.

He found two more bags and covered the envelope, which might still be contaminated with toxic gas, with layers of paper.

Finally, I took these things back to the car.

Boss Dong made a phone call at a roadside store.

Soon a body truck drove over.

He led people to move out the body of Blind Ah Hui.

After the body was loaded into the van and drove away, Boss Dong got in and said in a low voice, "I wanted to take you home to live with me."

“But now the situation is complicated.”

"Big Circle Boy and those people from Torii Ryuzo seem to be very interested in you."

"So I'll arrange for you to stay in a hotel."

“It’s not a small hotel on the street, it’s the Peninsula Hotel!”

The Peninsula Hotel has a long history.

Since its opening in 1928, it has been a top luxury hotel famous in Hong Kong Island and even the world.

The Peninsula Hotel also has the world's largest fleet of Rolls-Royce cars.

Countless of the world's top political and business leaders, cultural and sports stars have stayed here.

But at that time, I had no idea about the Peninsula Hotel.

"The guest should follow the host's wishes. I will follow your arrangements." I said casually.

He was originally a child from a poor family.

I have been sleeping on a brick bed all my life.

Never mind whether it’s a hotel or not, I can even sleep on a bench on the side of the road.

Boss Dong drove on the road: "The security of the hotel is very good."

"And he has a strong background."

"No one from the Big Circle or Torii Ryuzo dares to mess around at the Peninsula Hotel."

"I'm staying at the Peninsula Hotel with you these days..."

It seems that Boss Dong is scared.

So safety first and caution is the best approach.

Come to think of it, Saito Akihiro was kidnapped without anyone noticing, and blind Ah Hui also died.

It's never too careful right now.

The car drove to the Peninsula Hotel.

I was a little shocked by the luxury of the hotel.

Boss Dong completed the check-in procedures quickly.

"I opened the presidential suite. It's safer for us to live together."

"Let's go to the room first."

The tall, long-legged and sweet-looking waiter took us to the room.

Boss Dong gave the waiter a tip and sent him away.

I was secretly shocked.

I thought it was too easy to make money in Hong Kong Island.

You can get a tip by showing me the way.

Boss Dong closed the door and explained with a smile, "The more upscale the place, the more you have to tip."

“It’s a way to show your identity and gain respect.”

"Go to places where the upper class hang out more often, and you'll understand."

"Please take a seat. I need to make some calls and make some arrangements."

Boss Dong went into the inner room to make a phone call.

I was eager to know the contents of the letter, so I went into the bathroom.

Thinking that Blind Ah Hui had already cleaned up the letter.

Even if there is still any poison gas left, it should be very weak.

If you put the letter in water and open it.

Can it isolate the poison gas?

Even if it cannot be isolated, trace amounts of poisonous gas will not have much impact on the body, right?

With this kind of fluke mentality.

I turned on the faucet on the sink and filled it with water.

Soon the pond was half full of water, and I took out the envelope in the bag and put it into the water.

Then take the envelope out of the bag in the water

Gulu!

There were some bubbles when I took out the envelope.

I held my breath, opened the envelope, and unfolded the letter in the water.

There is only one page of letter paper.

It said very briefly: Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, bring Saito Akihiro's diary to the Star Ferry Pier at Kowloon Point.

It’s not too late, the head is presented to you!
