From Xiangjiang Martial Arts in the 70s

Chapter 46
As the Spring Festival approached, the residents of the Walled City of Kowloon began to decorate their lanterns. Looking up from the narrow passage, there was a colorful light sign for a projection room on the fifth floor. Young men also walked in and out of this building. They came in and out with their bare upper bodies hooking each other's shoulders.

Two of them looked very different. One had a simple and honest appearance and was carrying a backpack, while the other was wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses. They walked side by side to the screening room upstairs.

"Sister Zhou, it's not necessary, aren't we trying too hard?" The simple and honest man named Mao Yu is an intern reporter for Ta Kung Pao.

"Do you want to become a regular?" Zhou Huiting asked in a low voice. Previously, Zhou Huiting was introduced to Ta Kung Pao through Wu Changyun's personal connections, and became an official reporter with her outstanding and courageous means.

"Think." Mao Yu replied.

"Then go." Zhou Huiting took Mao Yu to the screening room on the fifth floor.

There was a doorman in a flowery shirt standing outside the door. After sizing the two people up, he took the admission fee from Mao Yu's hand and turned to indicate that they could go in.

After entering the door, there were three rooms with curtains. An elderly woman glanced at the two and asked, "What movie are you watching?"

It was Zhou Huiting's first time to come to such a place, so naturally she couldn't name her. Mao Yu pointed to the poster of a female star hanging on the wall and said, "That one."

The old woman glanced at her mouth in disdain. The poster was actually bought and hung up by her son. Dang even pointed at a curtain to let the two of them in.

As soon as Zhou Huiting opened the curtain, she could smell the pungent smell, cigarettes mixed with disgusting body odor, the shirtless man inside put his feet on the chair, and all kinds of unbearable voices came and went.

It was the first time for Mao Yu to watch this kind of small movie. Immediately, he was too shy to walk. Zhou Huiting gave him a hand, and the two sat down in the corner.Zhou Huiting touched the camera in her handbag. In such a dim environment, she didn't know how the shooting effect would be.

Recently, many private screening rooms have been opened in the Kowloon Walled City, and various films are screened in them, some are foreign R-rated films, and some are from informal film workshops.

Zhou Huiting suspects that many of the recent disappearances of young girls are related to the screening room, and this method of unannounced visits by former soldiers is also her usual style.

The screening rooms that have appeared recently are all under the management of a registered company called Sanhe. On the outside, it looks like a small shop with a repair shop sign. Its main business is repairing cameras, watches and other equipment, and also selling some electronic equipment. .

"Boss, the watch doesn't move anymore. Please show me and see if I need to replace the battery."

"Okay." Yi Zhangyu stood behind the counter and took the watch from the customer.

"My child bought this watch for me when he went abroad, and suddenly the needle stopped moving. Please take a good look at it for me."

Yi Zhangyu took apart the watch in an orderly manner. The dial inside was aging and loose, but the other parts looked brand new.

"This can't be fixed, maybe I can replace the dial for you."

This watch is not as expensive as the old man said, it can be regarded as a brand, but the reputation of this brand has not been very good, and the repair rate is high due to poor workmanship.Moreover, due to the high maintenance cost, manufacturers will also entrust them to small shops that operate their own brands to do after-sales maintenance.

"That's fine too."

With the consent of the old man, Yi Zhangyu took the watch to the studio inside, installed a new dial in two or three steps, and planned to return it to the old man again.

"The handwork costs five yuan."

The old man fiddled with his watch with his head down, as if he didn't hear Yi Zhangyu's words, the old man murmured: "This watch strap is wrong. My watch strap was originally made of cowhide, but this one is made of leather."

Yizhang frowned when he heard this, and looked at the old man with a hint of boredom. At this moment, his elder brother rang, and after he connected, a man's anxious voice came from the phone and said, "Brother, the newly arrested Women are disobedient and can't even be pressed."

"Really, did you take a picture?"

"The photo was taken while she was in a coma, but she couldn't scare her and even bit the third child."

Yi Zhangyu was silent for a while, the old man looked a little embarrassed, and kept arguing that he had changed the watch in the name of maintenance.

Yi Zhangyu wanted to say sell that woman, but before he could say anything, he raised his head and saw the old man pointing at his nose and complaining endlessly, Yi Zhangyu frowned, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "I There may be some things to be busy in a while, so put her in a cement tank and sink her in the river."

The old man standing in front of Yi Zhangyu heard the words, the hand holding the watch couldn't stop shaking twice, and just as he was about to turn around, Yi Zhangyu held it down.

"I'm not going to repair it anymore." The old man said tremblingly.

"Isn't it repaired? Maybe I saw it wrong just now. I'll put your original watch strap back." Yi Zhangyu held the old man's hand with a somewhat warm hand and led him into the room further inside.

The old man walked with fear in these few steps, and the deeper he went, the more chills he felt down his back.

The room inside is equipped with welding workbenches, meters for testing and various electrical components. The lights in the room are not turned on, and plastic sheets are piled up between the two bookshelves.Yi Zhangyu tore off the plastic sheet to reveal a hidden door.

"I won't cultivate, I won't cultivate, I'm leaving." The old man pulled hard, trying to escape from Yi Zhangyu's grasp, but the opponent was so strong that he couldn't break free at all.

The floor of the inner room is covered with plastic sheets, and two white photography lights are clamped on both sides of the sofa.

The old man accidentally caught a glimpse of a bound girl in the corner, her skirt was ripped down to her knees, the corner of her mouth was bleeding from the hemp rope, her hair was messy and stained with liquid on the ground, a thin man stood beside the girl He was turning his head to look at the old man in front of him.

"Hey, why is it you again?" The skinny man recognized the old man. The old man had already been here once, the last time he brought his tattered landline phone, insisting that the shop repaired it for him.

"You guys?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, the old man clung to the crack of the door with a loud voice, and was slapped on the back of the head by Yi Zhangyu with the desk lamp next to the wall, and blood dripped continuously on the plastic sheet.

"Immortal." The thin man laughed.

Yi Zhangyu went up to pick the girl's eyelids, saw that the girl's pupils had dilated, put the lens cover on the camera lens and said: "Don't take pictures, this is going to be a dead fish, throw it away." .”

"And this one on the ground, let's go to the river together. The thin man and I went to the city for a walk. Recently, an informant followed our screening room and went to find him."

While talking, Yi Zhangyu looked at the photo of the woman in the photo frame on the table, lit a cigarette casually, put on a leather jacket, and took his skinny younger brother to Kowloon Walled City.

At this time, guests came to Wu Changyun's house, and it was Detective Huang sent by Zhu Youzai to bring a New Year's gift, which was a gilded little tiger.Fushun accepted the exquisite gift and said, "Brother Yun, this is a good thing, but unfortunately I am a snake."

"What does it have to do with what you belong to? Thank you Brother Zi for me. I will visit you in the future." Wu Changyun said this, but he was very tired of this kind of behavior of reciprocating gifts. Today, Lard Boy gave him a gift. In the future, he will return gifts, and the price will not be lower than this golden tiger.

"Let's not do it in the future, tonight at Xiqianlou Nightclub in Wanchai, Brother Zai will also be there, and this year's Miss Hong Kong champion." Detective Huang said.

"Miss Hong Kong Champion?"

Generally speaking, the Miss Hong Kong champion refers to the Miss Hong Kong election held by TVB, that is, the one in which Zhao Yazhi lost the election, while what the other party refers to is the Miss Hong Kong election held at the Hilton Hotel. The champion is also a famous figure. TVB works, stage name is Deborah.

"This is worth a look." Wu Changyun smacked his lips and said, this name is not unfamiliar even in the 21st century.

Along the way, Wu Changyun followed behind in a car, and Detective Huang led the way in front. On the way to the nightclub, the car in front suddenly turned around. Wu Changyun didn't understand the situation for a while, so he could only follow behind until he reached his destination, the Kowloon Walled City. .

Agent Huang got out of the car first. He looked quite nervous because he did not carry a gun and was wearing plain clothes.

"What's wrong? Do you need help?" Wu Changyun shouted while sitting here.

"It's okay, I'll take care of something, you wait for me in the car for a while."

Detective Huang hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth. Unable to contact the other brothers, he had to walk into the city alone.

Wu Changyun and Fushun looked at each other and didn't know what happened. Fushun got out of the car and went to smoke, leaving only Wu Changyun rolling down the window to watch the dilapidated city wall.The two waited for a long time without seeing Agent Huang, and hesitated whether to go in and check the situation.

At this time, two motorcycles drove into the city wall from the side, and drove into the city wall along the narrow and sewage-filled path. Yi Zhangyu took off his helmet and looked at the signboard of the projection room on the fifth floor. The thin man said, "The car just parked outside."

"Leave it alone, I know who's parked there."

Yi Zhangyu greeted the thin man and hurried upstairs. He happened to bump into Agent Huang who was arresting someone in the corridor on the fourth floor. Agent Huang glanced at Yi Zhangyu and nodded.

Yi Zhangyu understood and stood obediently behind Agent Huang. After a while, a group of patrol officers came over and took away Ma Zai from the screening room. However, for things like this, detention for a period of time is not enough. will be released.

Zhou Huiting's head was wrapped with a hand towel, and her hanging hair was soaked. She was splashed with an unknown liquid by an old woman during her arrest.

After the arrest process was over, the police patrolling the streets and three or five delinquent youths came out of the city first, followed by Zhou Huiting and Mao Yu who were walking beside Agent Huang.

Wu Changyun recognized Zhou Huiting wrapped in a towel at a glance, Fu Shun also walked over and asked, "Why are you here? What happened to Officer Huang?"

"You guys know each other. I received a temporary report from the masses, so I came here to check the situation."

Wu Changyun guessed that it must be Zhou Huiting who was good at making suggestions and conducting secret interviews. Although he had asked Zhou Huiting to help him with similar methods before, he never expected that Zhou Huiting was addicted to doing this.

"Are you crazy? How are you? Are you okay?" Wu Changyun asked.

"Oh, it's okay." Zhou Huiting was still immersed in the incident just now, and didn't even realize that Wu Changyun and Fushun suddenly appeared, because if the old woman splashed something dangerous instead of water, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Do you want me to take you back?"

"Oh, no need, I still have to take notes. Why are you here?" Zhou Huiting realized that the two had suddenly appeared, and quickly smiled and waved her hands to evade.

At this time, Wu Changyun heard the roar of a motorcycle coming from the city wall. This time he could see clearly that it was a man in a brown leather jacket, with slender fingers like a woman holding the handlebar. Wu Changyun hurried out After changing his position, the other party passed by him on a bicycle, turned his head and glanced at him through the helmet, and then left.
