Chapter 21: Pursuit (Part 2)
Seeing that the crystal chandelier was about to fall, Liang Xi anxiously shouted to the hostages whose hands were tied: "Hurry up and climb."
Baker said: "Pull her away." Liang Xi was only two meters away from the hostage.
Liang Xi looked at the hostage's body shape, then at the crystal chandelier and shook his head. It is important for people to know themselves. If you pull directly, it will not work. If you don't pull directly, it will be too late. The chandelier will either fall on you or on the hostage, and it will be your own responsibility.
Baker used the handcuffs in his hands as brass knuckles and knocked Wang Shuang unconscious with one punch, then ran towards the hostages.
Liang Xi said: "Don't come over."
Baker looked up and saw the crystal chandelier falling. He was so scared that he hugged his head and arched his back to lie on the hostage, using his strong buttocks to block the impact of the crystal chandelier.
Liang Xi was extremely ashamed when he saw this: "I admire you. I admire you. It's amazing."
You are so powerful, I just can't stop myself. Baker reached out to Liang Xi, asking him to pull him up. Liang Xi stretched out his hand with the pistol, then immediately retracted it and stretched out his left hand. His left hand was weaker, so Liang Xi switched the pistol to his left hand and used his right hand to pull Baker. The moment they shook hands, they cursed at the same time. It turned out that Baker had a piece of glass in his hand. He didn't feel much at first, but when Liang Xi held it like this, the glass pierced into their hands and stuck to Liang Xi's hand.
Liang Xi pulled out the glass fragments from his hand and frowned in pain: "Wait for me ten seconds."
Baker looked down on Liang Xi, slowly straightened his back, pushed the crystal lamp aside, stood up, and asked, "Ma'am, are you okay?"
Liang Xi said: "Why do you care about her? Put on the handcuffs first." Be careful, Wang Shuang might come back to life again.
The hostage shook his head to indicate that he was fine. Baker nodded and went to handcuff Wang Shuang first. He said to Liang Xi, "Go get the intercom."
Liang Xi walked to the stairs, took a look and came back: "No."
Baker: “Why?”
Liang Xi said: "What if there are accomplices? I must protect your safety."
Baker thought the first half of the sentence made sense. So Baker abandoned the hostages, and went back the same way he and Liang Xi came, and returned to the car, and called for reinforcements on the intercom. After hanging up the intercom, Baker felt that his IQ had dropped by several percentage points.
On the contrary, Liang Xi was delighted that his inference was correct. He was grateful that Wang Shuang was so smart. Even if he was a little dumber and escaped in the same car with his accomplices, he and Baker would not have been able to catch Wang Shuang. There was no real benefit in catching Wang Shuang, but the satisfaction was so satisfying that it made people feel so happy.
The next important thing to do is to cheat money.
Hourly wages! How can it be considered a work-related injury? As long as I can stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month, I can count the pounds until my hands are tired.
Hmm? Do you want to shoot yourself in the thigh?
…
Liang Xi didn't know what happened next. He was taken to the hospital by the first ambulance. The nurse used alcohol to scrub for a long time and finally found a small scratch on his forehead. The final injury: a two-millimeter cut on the palm and a scratch on the forehead. Liang Xi was embarrassed to mention that his brother had been hurt, but after the doctor heard that Liang Xi fell from four meters, he admitted Liang Xi to the hospital for half a day for safety reasons.
After sleeping until the next morning, Liang Xi heard that he could be discharged from the hospital. He patiently persuaded the doctor: "Should we take an X-ray? An electrocardiogram? An MRI? Blood and stool tests?"
The doctor shook his head: "No need, you can be discharged."
Liang Xi sat up, then fell down again. The doctor asked hurriedly, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Liang Xi: “Dizzy.”
The doctor nodded: "Did you hit your head when you fell?"
Liang Xi pointed at the band-aid on his forehead and said, "I bumped into it here."
The doctor thought there might be a concussion, so he wrote an order: "Do a brain CT scan."
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Baker walked in wearing a training uniform and sunglasses: "Look who I found?" He laughed and slapped Liang Xi on the shoulder.
Liang Xi grabbed the doctor and said, "Let's do another CT scan of the shoulder."
Baker called out, "Let's go, everyone is waiting for us."
Liang Xi explained: "I need to be hospitalized."
Baker tore off the Band-Aid on Liang Xi's forehead, took a look, and said, "No, not necessary, change clothes."
The doctor said, "He may have a concussion."
Baker questioned: "Did the emergency team hit him on the head?"
The doctor spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know.
Baker held up a finger: "What's this?"
Liang Xi replied: "Two."
Baker: "He's fine and can be discharged from the hospital."
The doctor walked away with an indifferent expression.
Liang Xi glared at Baker. Baker took Liang Xi's clothes out of the closet and threw them on the bed: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."
Liang Xi was furious: "The more you urge, the slower it gets."
Baker picked up the underwear: " I'll help you change."
Liang Xi hurriedly said, "You go out, I will change it myself."
Baker pointed at Liang Xi and said, "Two minutes, hurry up."
Liang Xi: "Got it." Damn it, I can't even make it 24 hours, I should shoot my thigh. Shoot Baker's thigh, so that he won't ruin my good deeds.
In a hurry? Fuck, the police sent Baker to kidnap himself out of the hospital to save money. Is there any humanity left?
…
Of course, this is not the case. Liang Xi and Baker walked into a bar together, and Liu Zhen on the stage took the microphone and said, "Welcome two heroes."
As everyone stood up and applauded, a girl ran up and stuck a homemade paper badge on the chests of the two people. Liu Zhen said, "The boss said that we have three days off, everyone can eat and drink as much as they want."
…
After being forced to drink a one-liter glass of beer, Liang Xi explained: "I don't drink."
Baker: “Coward.”
Liang Xi: “…”
Baker: “Just one cup.”
Liang Xi: "If I drink a glass with you, I have to drink another glass with others."
Baker: "Guys, here's a little chicken who doesn't drink."
Everyone started to cheer.
Liang Xi said hurriedly: "Half a cup."
Baker: “OK.”
Liang Xi is a man with detective talent. He had foreseen that if he started drinking, he would inevitably collapse. So he collapsed. After dancing the bunny dance with Liu Zhen, he completely blacked out. Before blacking out, Liang Xi hoped that he could be poisoned by alcohol, and maybe he could get some pounds from the hospital.
…
Liang Xi opened his eyes in a daze, and with a headache, he wanted to break his brain in half. Fortunately, Liang Xi knew that he was drunk. Damn the wine!
Where is this?
Liang Xi stood up from the sofa. This was an apartment of considerable size. It was fully furnished and cluttered with things. It was obvious at a glance that it was the home of a single male dog. Judging from the night outside the window, it should be night.
With one hand pressing his head to relieve the pain and swallowing to suppress nausea, Liang Xi walked to the TV cabinet, where there was a photo of Baker in a handsome police uniform. Okay, it's Baker's home. He touched his pocket. Where's the phone? He turned around and searched everywhere, but didn't see it. Never mind.
Liang Xi went into the bathroom, grabbed a towel or something, soaked it and covered his face with it, making himself feel a little better. But as soon as he took the towel off , he felt a headache, nausea and discomfort. Liang Xi took off his clothes and took a shower, but the cold water could not relieve the pain of Liang Xi's hangover.
After drying himself and putting on clothes that smelled of alcohol, Liang Xi felt nauseous and retched for a long time while holding the toilet. Liang Xi decided to take some aspirin first. Unfortunately, Liang Xi, who was hungover, went from being an expert at finding things to being a fool at finding things. He couldn't concentrate, and couldn't let his thoughts jump automatically. He thought hard, hoping that he could get into the state, but he couldn't do it. After searching in the coffee table, the bathroom and other places, Liang Xi collapsed on the sofa. Then he slid to the ground, using the cold floor to make himself feel better.
Next time someone lets me drink, I will break his legs.
