48 Hours a Day

Chapter 990: Fork

Less than five minutes after Zhang Heng and Feng Zi left the Singularity Bar, a shuttle stopped outside the bar. A teenager took off his baseball cap, and walked into the bar while chewing gum.

He then walked past the hardcore Pandaren fans who were watching the football match. Not saying hello to anyone, he directly walked towards a corner on the west side, where a person was sleeping on the deck.

The noisy environment in the bar did not seem to affect his sleep at all. Even though there were many people around him, he still managed to sleep soundly, and he even covered his head with clothes.

The boy in the baseball cap stretched out two fingers, clamped the collar with it, and removed the clothes from the person that was sleeping, revealing Red’s body underneath the clothes. The latter’s eyes were open, and an angry look of disbelief was permanently plastered on her face.

“Tsk... Tsk... You should have agreed to be my girlfriend. You could’ve at least tasted of the joy of being a woman before you died.” The boy in the baseball cap muttered while chewing the gum in his mouth.

He then put the coat aside, picked up Red’s injured hand, and looked at it, “The depth of this knife wound shows that a steak knife caused it. The person that hurt her is very good with a bladed weapon, and he sure can move fast. There are wounds on her index finger too. It looked like she was pierced by the knife when she wanted to grab the gun. The opponent that she encountered was unexpectedly fierce, and he showed no mercy even to a beauty like you.”

The boy in the baseball cap paused for a while and said, “And this outfit on her. After she was hurt, she realized that she was not powerful enough to defeat his enemy. So, she planned to blend into the crowd immediately. It seemed like she managed to pull that off successfully. When it comes to the assassination skill, it looked like she was no match to her enemy as well.”

The boy in the baseball cap raised his red chin as he said, and his eyes finally moved to the wound on Red’s throat, “Ah. That’s a merciless slash. Not even our captain could pull off such a clean kill. It is no wonder Red had such a look on her. Red, I don’t think you expect to face someone so powerful here. You turned from a hunter to prey. The captain had already told you that your pride would kill you sooner or later. You should have wiped your memory for good. Look what happened to you now. Your life is gone because of your pride.

“Well, this is how it ends. Dead, unhappy, and useless. Come on, let’s take a selfie. Although you have never admitted it, you are still my first love.” The young man leaned his body against Red’s chest and deliberately pulled down the latter’s dress to show her cleavage. After that, he made a V gesture and pressed the camera button on his bracelet.

Almost at the same moment, he received a call request. The boy in the baseball cap accepted the call, and a deep voice came from the headset, “What’s going on? What happened to Six?”

“It’s a pity that she is dead, but the good news is that she didn’t refuse to take the last photo with me.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I want something useful.”

The voice on the other end of the bracelet did not speak in a harsh tone. However, the boy in the baseball cap changed his previous frivolous attitude and said seriously, “The enemy is a master at using a bladed weapon. And his attack was fast and clean. However, the two did not fight for too long. And Six made a quick decision to get away from her opponent. This shows that the gap between the two is probably large. The wound that caused her life was the wound on her throat. Her throat was slit by a knife—a classic, typical way for an assassin to eliminate his target. The expression on Six’s face is wonderful. It meant she didn’t realize that her opponent had gotten closer to her before her throat was slit.”

“A master?”

“He is absolutely a master. No. 6 won the jackpot,” said the boy in the baseball cap. “The time of death was probably... well, ten minutes ago. In other words, the man that killed her hadn’t gone far yet. I didn’t expect that the man named Mr. G still has such a powerful subordinate. This man is even better than the woman named F.”

The captain, on the other end, did not make any comments. Instead, he said, “Got it. I received a message from the union saying that they are moving in the direction of Wufang Street. There is a night market there. I think they are heading there to get rid of the people going after them.”

“Understood. I’ll go there and check it out, captain.” The boy with a baseball cap responded respectfully.

“Yes. Remember not to mess around, and don’t make any rash moves. No. 7 and No. 5 will rush there to meet you soon.”

“Understood.”

The boy in the baseball cap hung up the call and stood up, only to find that others had surrounded him.

After he lifted the clothes covering Red’s corpse, the people nearby noticed the murder that took place here. They were taken aback, and they quickly called the police. After that, several stronger Pandaren fans surrounded the boy, who looked like the biggest suspect.

“Oh, are you all blind?” The boy in the baseball cap sighed. “You guys let the real murderer left the bar under your watch, and now you are trying to stop me from going after the murderer.”

“Anyway, you are the closest person to the corpse. We can’t believe what you told us. The police are on the way anyway. Why don’t you wait until the police come here and explain to them that you are innocent? If you are right, the police will naturally let you go.” The owner of the bar walked out from behind the crowd and said.

“That’s a reasonable proposal,” the boy in the baseball cap nodded. However, he changed the conversation’s direction immediately, “But, I don’t have time to play this game with you guys.”

After speaking, he grabbed a fork from the table and looked at it twice, “Now, I am politely requesting you to make way for me.”

“What if we don’t?” the boss asked, “Are you going to kill everyone in the bar with this fork?”

Everyone was laughing at the threat that he made.

“I won’t go as far as to kill you guys, but it will help you guys learn a lesson.” After the baseball cap boy finished talking, he blinked at the bar owner, “If it hurts too much, remember to shout it out.”

At the next second, the fork in his hand had already penetrated the bar owner’s thigh. After that, the boy in the baseball cap pulled out the fork and used it to stab the person’s fist that was coming at him. One after another, the people in the bar started to scream. Within ten seconds, more than a dozen people were hurt by the young man in a baseball cap. Immediately, the rest of them retreated after witnessing how bad the situation turned out. Finally, they made their way and let him leave.

The boy in the baseball cap shook off the drop of blood on the fork, looked at the bar owner who was lying on the ground, holding his thigh, and asked, “Why?”

The latter was quite tough. He was the only one that did not scream. However, he did not dare to talk back this time. The boy with a baseball cap walked past the crowd to the bar entrance and put down the fork on the table. He then smiled at the people behind him, “Thank you for your hospitality. Hope we will meet soon.”
