727: Chapter 719: Mystifying 727: Chapter 719: Mystifying Pascaya’s eyes went wide, but his hands were quick; after taking the money, he curiously said, “Wasn’t it agreed to be fifty dollars?
Well, thank you for your generosity, sir.
What do you want to do?
I have a very good personal relationship with the people at the police station.
Even if it’s illegal, as long as it’s not too outrageous, I can handle it for you.”
Gao Yang spoke gravely, “Here’s the thing, a Huaxia person died here yesterday.
We’d like to go to the police station to check it out, see if the deceased was soone related to us, and it’d be best if we could see the body.
We’re willing to pay.
Can you manage that?”
Upon hearing Gao Yang’s words, Pascal casually stuffed the money into his pocket, then nodded, “No problem, that’s too easy.
I know where to go.”
After saying this, Pascal spoke a place na in French to the taxi driver, and the taxi started moving.
Then he turned to Gao Yang and said, “I heard about the death of the Huaxia person on the radio.
I’m sorry to say, it’s such a pity…
the girl died.”
Gao Yang grabbed Pascal’s arm, his eyes widened, and he exclaid, “What did you say?
It was a girl who died!”
Pascal nodded in surprise and said, “Yes, a girl.
What about it?”
Gao Yang let go of Pascal, squinted his eyes, puckered his lips, and waved his fist forcefully; anwhile, Frey suddenly punched the dashboard, startling the taxi driver with a loud smack and shouted, “Yes!
I knew Toad wouldn’t die that easily!”
The taxi driver shouted back at Frey in dissatisfaction, but as soon as Frey flashed a hundred-dollar bill, the driver imdiately shut his mouth.
Gao Yang urgently asked Pascal, “Tell , what exactly happened?
It was a girl who died, so why did I hear that a Huaxia person had killed many people?
What’s going on?”
Pascal paused, then scratched his head, muttering softly, “Yes, I rember it was like that.
A girl got caught in a robbery and then was shot dead.
After that, a man killed many people.
That’s how it was.”
Gao Yang urgently said, “So you an the girl died first, then a Huaxia person killed many locals, not that a Huaxia person killed many locals and was then shot dead, is that right?”
Pascal was stumped and frowned, “That’s what I heard, it should be right, just give a mont.”
Pascal didn’t seem very sure, causing Gao Yang to grow nervous; he then watched Pascal and the taxi driver chatter on.
The taxi driver energetically chatted with Pascal, occasionally taking his hands off the steering wheel to gesture sothing to Pascal.
After a few minutes, Pascal nodded at Gao Yang, very assuredly saying, “Yes, a girl was shot, and then a man, wielding a knife this long, stabbed several people to death before grabbing a gun and killing the rest.
Yes, that’s it, the radio said so yesterday.”
Gao Yang leaned back in the seat, took a deep breath, and said, “I knew he wouldn’t die that easily.
Who is Toad, to die just like that?
Little Fly, tell Big Dog and the others this news.”
After a gleeful acknowledgnt from Frey, he was about to call Glolov in another car, when Gao Yang smiled at Pascal, “So do you know what happened to that man afterward?
He killed many people, don’t the police care?
Do you know how this matter is being handled now?”
Pascal’s expression changed subtly as Gao Yang’s questioning made it easy for him to associate Gao Yang with the murderer.
Adding the air of Gao Yang and his companions, Pascal seed a bit scared.
Seeing Pascal’s change in emotion, Gao Yang chuckled and said, “Don’t be afraid.
We are here just looking for soone.
You have nothing to worry about, believe , you’ll be well rewarded without any trouble.”
Pascal nodded after a mont and carefully said, “I just heard about it; I’m not very clear, they talked about it on last night’s radio and maybe today’s newspaper will have sothing.”
After saying this, Pascal suddenly spoke to the taxi driver, who casually switched on the radio and tuned it, listening to the host speak.
Pascal suddenly pointed at the radio and loudly said, “Listen, they’re talking about it now.”
Gao Yang urgently said, “Tell quickly what the radio is saying.”
“The police station is fully investigating this case, and it seems that the Huaxia embassy is negotiating with the police station.
Right now, the host is saying where the man who escaped might have gone.”
The radio host discussed inconsequential matters, and as Frey listened to Pascal’s translation, he suddenly said, “Boss, do we still need to go to the police station?”
Gao Yang looked towards Pascal, whispering, “Can we still see the bodies if we go to the police station now?
And those people who were killed, can we see those bodies?”
Pascal thought for a mont, then nodded, saying, “It shouldn’t be a problem as long as you are willing to spend money.
I think it’s still possible.
One thousand dollars, maybe it would need two thousand, but you definitely can see them.”
Gao Yang pulled out his phone and called Li Jinfang again, but the call still couldn’t get through.
After thinking for a mont, Gao Yang said gravely, “We still need to go see those bodies.
By seeing the bodies, we can also gather a lot of information.”
The most critical thing was surely to find Li Jinfang, but if Li Jinfang couldn’t be found, Gao Yang had to first confirm if Li Jinfang was the one who had killed many people.
If it wasn’t Li Jinfang, they would have been worried for nothing; they had already made a blunder and couldn’t afford another mix-up.
After deciding to go see the bodies first, Frey expressed his dissatisfaction, “The person sent by Toad’s friend, how could he handle this?
The whole Pointe Noire is buzzing with it, yet he doesn’t even know if the deceased was male or female.
Really, such an incompetent fellow.”
Gao Yang was also full of criticism.
The person Li Pengfei had sent had gone to the police station for information, yet didn’t even figure out if the deceased was a woman; truly useless.
Moreover, he couldn’t be contacted now, trying to find soone to ask about the situation was also futile.
Gao Yang waved his hand helplessly and said, “Let’s just go to the station and see.
Once we see the bodies, we’ll have a clearer picture in our minds.”
After speaking a word to Frey, Gao Yang turned and said to Pascal, “Do you know who those robbers were, or rather, who were the people who got killed?
Gang mbers?”
Pascal nodded and said, “Yes, they’re from gangs, but not exactly gangs.
These people make their living by stealing, and if stealing fails, they might resort to robbery.
They are many, and even after the police station has hit them many tis, it’s of no use.
What’s the point?
Even if they are caught, they are released in a couple of days, it’s completely aningless.”
After knowing that the deceased was a girl, Gao Yang felt slightly more composed.
Regardless, Li Jinfang might have t with a mishap, but he was definitely not dead, and knowing this was enough.
The taxi hadn’t driven very long before it stopped at the entrance of a police station.
After getting out and gathering together, Grolov and others seed quite happy, though before they could say much, Pascal whispered, “You’d better wait a mont, let go in alone first to check the situation.
If it’s possible, I’ll co out and call you.”
Pascal entered the police station alone.
After twenty minutes, Pascal hurriedly ca out, approached Gao Yang, and said urgently, “That girl’s body has been taken away.
The Huaxia embassy and the girl’s family mbers just left with the body.
If you want to see the bodies, you can only see those of the killed robbers, and you’ll need to pay two thousand dollars for this, with only half an hour because major figures from Brazzaville might arrive after that, so you need to make a quick decision.”
Without hesitation, Gao Yang pulled out a stack of money and handed it to Pascal.
Pascal gestured with his hand and turned to walk back into the police station.
However, after taking two steps, Pascal suddenly said, “I must declare that I am not lying about the amount, I haven’t taken any money from it.”
Gao Yang didn’t care to discuss this, said a few words to Pascal, and then entered the police station.
Inside the station, Pascal handed the money over to a policeman in Gao Yang’s presence.
After counting the money and verifying it was indeed two thousand dollars in the bustling lobby, the black policeman beckoned them to follow him through the lobby to a small house in the yard of the police station, which was the morgue.
After speaking a few words to the policeman, Pascal said to Gao Yang, “You can go in now.
I’ll wait outside for you.
Rember, half an hour, at most half an hour.”
The morgue in Pointe Noire didn’t have refrigerators, so a slight stench of decay was noticeable outside the morgue.
When the door of the morgue was opened, a foul sll rushed out.
Inside the morgue, there were two racks filled with bodies.
There was no cloth covering the bodies, which made it easier for Gao Yang and his group to observe.
Gao Yang’s attention was caught by one of the bodies, whose right lower leg was bent at a ninety-degree angle, obviously broken, and half of the neck had been slashed open.
After just looking at that body, Gao Yang removed the hand covering his nose and said in a deep voice, “Kicked to the lower leg, the leg was broken by the kick, and as this person fell forward, a knife slashed open his neck.
This kind of foot strength, only Toad has it.”
At that mont, Grolov said, “Look at this.”
Gao Yang followed Grolov’s direction and saw a bare-chested body with an evident depression in the chest.
Gao Yang sighed and said, “Killed by a single punch, Half-step Burst, no need to look further, it’s Toad.”
