Chapter 5: The trouble
was caused by Harvey Harmon's eyes. The man next to him took out the pistol in his waist and moved to the door as quietly as possible.
Through the small peephole, he saw an Asian young man wearing a helmet standing outside. He was wearing a pizza shop's overalls and holding a stack of pizza in his hand.
"Hello? Is anyone at home? The pizza you ordered has arrived." Chen Lin'an said loudly while ringing the doorbell.
"It's strange, the lights are bright inside, but no one opens the door." After seeing no one open the door for a long time, he thought with some doubts.
Ma Zai, who was standing at the door, turned his head and looked at Harvey Harmon after hearing Chen Lin'an's voice, not knowing what to do next.
Harvey Harmon wanted to beat Joey Baker to death again to vent his anger. Who knows when did this damn bastard order takeout? Could it have been before they came?
The cold light in Harvey Harmon's eyes flashed, and he instantly thought of getting rid of the delivery boy outside to save himself from the trouble.
But thinking of his brother's instructions to him not to get into trouble, he thought for a few seconds and then said softly to Ma Zai at the door: "Let's hide him. Send him away quickly and remember not to reveal any mistakes." Ma Zai nodded when he heard this
. He nodded, looked at the people behind him and put the gun back on his waist, then cleared his throat and said, "Wait a minute, I'm looking for change." After saying that,
he waited for a few seconds and then opened the door. He opened it halfway and then took the stack of pizza from Chen Lin'an.
Although Chen Lin'an was a little surprised why it took so long to open the door, he didn't say anything. He just followed the procedure and said softly: "Thank you for your trust. The total is thirty-two dollars. I will give you a few coupons. I look forward to your next visit."
Ma Zai took the pizza and put it on the ground, then took out four ten-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to Chen Lin'an and said, "No need to look for it. The rest is your tip." Chen Lin'an also smiled politely after hearing this
. He said to the generous customer in front of him: "Thank you for your generosity. I wish you a good mood every day."
Ma Zai nodded slightly after hearing this. He just wanted to send the person away quickly.
Just as he was about to close the door, the person responsible for cleaning up the corpse suddenly let go, and the corpse he was dragging slid down four or five flights of stairs, and the corpse's head made a thud on the floor.
Ma Zai, who was handling the corpse, suddenly changed his expression when he saw this, and then hurriedly grabbed the corpse's legs and pulled it up again.
Because the living room is relatively open, there is really no space to hide a person, so Ma Zai dragged the body and stood on the stairs.
But he didn't expect that the corpse was beaten to a bloody pulp, and the sticky blood reduced the friction. In addition, the weight of the corpse itself was not light, so he suddenly let go, causing such an accident.
Ma Zai and Chen Lin'an at the door also heard the noise. Ma Zai turned slightly sideways and blocked Chen Lin'an's sight with his body.
Chen Lin'an just heard the noise and turned around, but he didn't ask anything or look around curiously. He thought that maybe a cat or dog at home had knocked something over.
In this way, Chen Linan set off on his way home again on his motorcycle.
After closing the door, Ma Zai in the room watched from the window as Chen Linan's motorcycle drove further and further away. He found nothing unusual, which made him relieved.
"I'm sorry! Boss! I didn't mean it! There was too much blood on the body, so I let him fall down because I didn't catch him." Ma Zai, who knew he had made a mistake, saw Harvey Harmon's cold eyes. Then he immediately explained in panic.
"But I immediately pulled him up again. It definitely didn't take more than two seconds, and the boy didn't notice anything unusual." Ma Zai hurriedly assured.
Harvey Harmon didn't say anything, but his cold eyes swept over him, and then fell on the boy who just opened the door: "Did that boy find anything?" The boy who opened the door
also recalled it for a moment after hearing the words, and then He shook his head and said, "Probably not. I only opened the door halfway. After there was another noise, I turned sideways. He probably didn't see anything." Harvey Harmon didn't say anything after hearing this
. I just walked to the window to confirm that there was no one around, then opened the door and stood outside where Chen Linan was standing just now.
"Open the door and get something just like you did before, and repeat your actions." Harvey Harmon waved to the man who just opened the door, and motioned for him to come to the door again.
After hearing this, Ma Zai stood where he was before again and demonstrated all his movements.
Harvey Harmon nodded after reading it. It seemed that the boy couldn't really see anything. His horse was so tall that it stood there like a wall.
Then he walked down the doorstep again and looked back.
"Don't move." Harvey Harmon suddenly said to Ma Zi at the door.
When Ma Zai heard this, he quickly stood still and let the boss opposite him look around.
"You were indeed standing like this just now, right." Harvey Harmon confirmed to Ma Zi again.
After hearing the boss's serious question again, Ma Zai thought seriously for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Yes, that's how I stood just now." After hearing this,
Harvey Harmon left without saying a word. He walked close to the house, then grabbed the head of the guy who had just made the noise and knocked it on the stairs.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!."
"Ah! Ah! Ah!."
Accompanied by the thumping and muffled sound was the pitiful scream of the horse boy, until he was a little confused and could only hum Harvey Harmon. Stopped.
"When that kid turned around just now, he could see the blood on the stairs between your legs." Harvey Harmon turned to Ma Zi who opened the door and said in a deep voice.
"If this idiot hadn't pulled the body high enough just now, he could even see half of the body's head."
After hearing Harvey Harmon's words, the man who opened the door was instantly covered in cold sweat. He was afraid of being furious. Harvey Harmon also blamed him.
"You did a good job just now. This is not your responsibility." Harvey Harmon said in a deep voice: "It's just that that kid is still a trouble after all. I'm not sure whether he saw it or not." "Think about it
. The method is to let him die accidentally or quietly or reasonably."
Listening to Harvey Harmon's words, Ma Zai's heart was relieved. As long as he is not blamed and punished, as for the reasonable solution to the boy, although A bit fiddly but not difficult to do.
Thinking of this, Ma Zai also nodded hurriedly and responded: "Understood, I will make arrangements as soon as possible, and I will closely monitor that boy in the past two days." After hearing the
reply, Harvey Harmon also nodded, and then continued to make arrangements: " Clean up the scene and retreat, take these two trash back to feed the dogs."
"Yes!"
Half an hour later, in the dark night, the house flickered with orange firelight, and then gradually turned into ashes and ruins, wiped out Removed all traces.
