222 Troubled Times

The bearded detective seemed to be the leader of the detective circle in Yanjing City, he grabbed a cigarette and put it to his lips, but he didn't light it out of politeness to his master, and then he grabbed his hair in distress and smiled bitterly: "I have to admit, Mr. Xu Biao, we are facing an extremely cunning and cruel veteran kidnapper. He's probably tougher than any criminal I've ever met, so I can't guarantee that I'll catch him. ”

The rest of the people are also talking and gossiping:

"That guy didn't wear gloves in the surveillance video of Pretty in Pink, but he didn't leave any fingerprints at the scene, just from this, you can see: he did it extremely carefully and meticulously, and used some little tricks to erase the existence of fingerprints! Maybe it's paraffin, maybe it's a finger sleeve, maybe it's other ......."

"His makeup skills are so clever that they resemble the usual tactics of international killers, a special tactic designed to circumvent the casino's facial recognition system and increase the level of secrecy of his identity. This guy is probably wearing contact lenses to change the proportion of his eyeballs in his facial features, and it is likely that he also has a small nail added to his nose to make the bridge of his nose appear high. ”

"Yes, look at his hair, it's obviously a wig! Alas, in that case, his face is probably a human skin mask. I'm afraid there is nothing that can be used as a clue in his whole body, and we can't follow the vine at all. ”

The more Xu Biao listened, the more he didn't feel good, and the anger on his face became more and more intense, but he couldn't get mad, because the group of detectives he found were not his subordinates, and he forcibly "invited" them by brutal means, which had already made the other party dissatisfied.

"Detective Ma, you are well-known in the detective circle in the capital, and you have a very high rate of solving cases in your life, I ask you to do your best in this matter. Xu Biao could only pretend to be Corporal Lixian, and then handed the other party a bank card and a VIP card, "The money in this is a small labor fee, not a tribute." What follows is the gratitude of our Xu family, if you encounter any trouble, anyone who is born in the Xu family's sphere of influence will be helped. ”

The bearded detective suddenly looked flattered and resigned again and again.

But under Xu Biao's repeated insistence, the bearded detective could only accept it.

After Xu Biao left, the bearded detective surnamed Ma smiled and shrugged his shoulders to all the detectives present: "Everyone has a share." ”

Everyone immediately chuckled.

"Old Ma, why do you say that the head of the Xu Biao family is so eager to come to us?" a detective asked in confusion, "Since the other party is deliberately kidnapping Xu Bei, he will definitely ask for ransom the next day." With the Xu family's wealth, the ransom can be paid at that time. ”

Someone said: "In today's society, there are too few kidnappers who steal and have a way, and the ticket tearing rate is too high." Even if you pay, you will probably only get one corpse at that time. ”

The bearded detective shook his head with a wry smile: "Guys, you haven't realized the danger of this yet. You have also seen the surveillance video, the death of the first bodyguard happened at the corner of the stairs, we don't know anything about the inside story, but the death of the second bodyguard is under surveillance, we can see it clearly. ”

"Indeed, it is a very sharp means of killing, killing with one blow, and it is abnormal. However, it was mainly because he disguised himself as the first deceased, so that the second deceased did not have any vigilance under his carelessness, so he succeeded so easily. Looking at his assassination methods, it doesn't seem to be very clever. One detective snorted unconvinced.

"Not smart?" the bearded detective asked rhetorically, shaking his head with a wry smile, "This is clearly the highest level of assassination, the most famous killer organization in the world is the ghost network, I can say without a doubt that 99% of the killers in the ghost network do not have this level." Because this is already the realm of returning to the basics, all the conditions that are favorable to the killer himself have been achieved to the extreme. I know everything about my target, which is why I can do it so easily. ”

Everyone looked at each other, a little confused.

They never expected that Detective Ma would have such a high evaluation of the kidnappers.

Seeing that everyone was a little suspicious, the beard sneered, and threw out two photos, which were the two bodyguards killed by Zhou Qiang: "Look, Chen Zhenggang, Sun Bufan, two ancient warriors with ten dark strengths, but they have become the souls of the kidnappers' knives, why do you think the head of the Xu family is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot? Obviously, this kidnapper is definitely not here for money!"

"Ancient Warrior ??!! with Ten Layers of Dark Energy"

Some detectives were very dazed when they heard it, their grade was very low, and they had not yet come into contact with the class of ancient warriors.

Some detectives are full of color, realizing that this is a high-risk muddy water, and they dare not talk nonsense anymore.

"Now, do you know what kind of monster we're facing?" the beard narrowed his eyes, finally lit the cigarette in his mouth, took two deep breaths, and said, "If we are not careful, we will be caught in the whirlpool, and we will never recover!"

A detective suddenly muttered in a low voice: "That playboy in Xu Bei has done a lot of bastard things, and several of the cases I have been exposed to over the years have been made up by him in order to satisfy his desires, and besides, the Xu family used huge power to help him settle it easily." He is innocent of death, why should we help him to abuse him?"

"Shh

The bearded detective immediately reminded him to be cautious in his words and actions.

"It's not that we're not reluctant to help, it's just that our talents are limited, and we're not ancient warriors, so it's hard for us to have any opinions on catching a skilled ancient warrior kidnapper, understand?" added the bearded detective.

The detectives all looked knowing, and the corners of their lips curled slightly.

"Yes, we all listen to Detective Ma. ”

……

Xu Biao's study.

A Ming Dynasty Jingdezhen porcelain jar cracked into eight petals on the ground.

A pot of orchids that the owner loves on weekdays has its leaves torn to shreds.

In front of Xu Biao, all the high-level officials of the Xu family were trembling, walking on thin ice.

"Did the kidnappers contact us?" Xu Biao asked coldly.

"No, no. The housekeeper shook his head with a wry smile and comforted Xu Biao, "The head of the house, please be calm, it has only been 6 hours since the incident happened, and during this period, the kidnapper should be busy transferring the third young man, and he will definitely not care about asking us for ransom for the time being." Since he didn't kill Sanshao on the spot, it means that everything should be discussed. ”

"But ......" Xu Bei's brother, Xu Ke, couldn't help but shudder, "Since the other party can easily kill Uncle Chen and Uncle Sun in seconds, it means that he is probably also a strong ancient martial artist." This kind of person will not be short of money at all, and I am afraid he will not call to ask for ransom. And most likely, ......"

Xu Ke wanted to speak and stopped.

"Go on!" Xu Biao encouraged with a gloomy face.

"Xu's Dragon and Tiger Strength, that is the most tempting thing for our family to ancient martial artists!" Xu Ke smiled bitterly, "I think about it carefully, I'm afraid that the kidnapper has been eyeing me and Xu Bei for a long time, but recently, I have been busy with retreat and have not shown up." And the third brother was a little prodigal because of his birthday, and secretly went to KTV to carnival with friends, so the other party got what he wanted, seized the opportunity, and captured him in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, eight or nine times out of ten it's because of the ancient martial arts cheats!" Xu Biao sighed, "In recent years, there have been more and more people who have appeared near Yanjing City and sneakily wandered around our ancestral house, coveting our cheats. ”

"That's because the Okazaki family has re-emerged. Sitting on the side, the elder of the Xu family, who was a little sleepy and dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes, and his light was restrained, "As far as I know, in Japan, our family owns the "Xu Family Dragon and Tiger Strength", that is, "Snake Swallowing Whale", and its original owner, the Okazaki family to which Okazaki Fujizaburo belongs, a year ago, another great sword hero was born!"

"The Great Sword Hero ???!!!"

Almost all the Xu family members present were shocked, and their faces turned pale.

"This piece of news was leaked seven days ago, and before that, the Okazaki family had been hiding it quite perfectly. We have to think deeply, why did the Okazaki family deliberately conceal this great joy?" the Great Elder reminded everyone.

"In order to conceal the strength, at the moment when the enemies are relaxed, give a fatal blow!"

"In order to act in secret, take back something that should belong to the Okazaki family, such as "Snake Swallowing Whale"!"

The Xu family was in chaos for a moment.

All the high-level know that "Snake Swallowing Whale" was taken by Xu Yan, the master of the Xu family's Zhongxing, from the hands of Okazaki Fujisaburo at that time by trickery, so the rise of the other party is bound to sharpen the knife to the Xu family!

The great swordsman of the Okazaki family crossed to China and came again with a sword, which is almost a sure thing.

"Could it be that Xu Bei was committed by Japanese killers? Those two killers, one beautiful and the other cold, are people who are not recorded in our local archives, as if they appeared out of thin air. Now it seems that eight to nine out of ten people were smuggled from Japan! Someone "suddenly woke up" and slapped his head suddenly.

The Great Elder of the Xu Family said lightly: "All in all, next, our Xu family will face a series of troubles, and you must be prepared to deal with them. The matter of Xu Bei can be investigated secretly, and we must not mess with ourselves, so as not to be taken advantage of by our old enemy Okazaki family. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

"We do what you do. ”

The others expressed their obedience, but Xu Biao was silent for a long time.

The Great Elder didn't say much, just patted Xu Biao's back: "I know that you are indignant in your heart, but ...... I believe that as the head of the Xu family, you should know how to weigh the pros and cons. ”

With that, he let out a long sigh and turned to leave.

Most of the people followed the Great Elder and left, but Xu Ke stayed where he was, and said cautiously: "Father, third brother, he ...... Weak by nature, he has grown up in honeypots and ivory towers all his life, and if he is tortured, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold on. The cheats he knew should have fallen into the hands of the kidnappers. ”

Xu Biao collapsed on the sofa chair in a daze, his eyes blank: "I know." Abana's child, spoiled by me and your mother, has never been trained in anti-torture and torture, and most of them will leak secrets. The first and second volumes of "Snake Swallowing Whales" that he knew, most likely had fallen into the hands of that guy. Blame me, I've been so careless these days that I've almost forgotten that both of you brothers have secrets and are likely to be coveted by ambitious people. ”

"It's a crime!" Xu Biao gritted his teeth, regretting it.

"That'...... I'm likely to be the other party's next target?" Xu Ke changed slightly, "I have the third volume in my hand. Xu Bei also knew this piece of information. ”

"Well, you must stay in the Xu family's old mansion next, and don't show up. Although it is said that the kidnapper's strength is probably not strong, most of it is the level of dark energy. However, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no other forces behind him. Xu Biao cautiously reminded his second son.
