Chapter 128: The Book Coffin Scam
On the first day of the book hunting plan, it was revealed that the book coffin had been found in the Baihua Mountain Scenic Area, which surprised everyone.
What's even more unbelievable is that the book coffin that has just been found has mysteriously disappeared overnight.
With the relevant news exposed in the media, this missing coffin has become the focus of many people's talk for a while.
For the more than 100 members of the Taoshu team, this news is a blow to them.
The Taoshu team that found the book coffin was able to get a bonus of 20 million, and now the book coffin has been found, which means that all the prize money of the Taoshu team has been lost.
Some of the book-hunting teams suspected that this was fake news and were silently waiting for a turnaround, but unfortunately, as the police investigation deepened, the events in the news report seemed to be true.
The book-hunting team that found the book coffin in Baihua Mountain was led by Dai Zhiwen, a professor at Nanxiang University in Tianhai City. In Professor Dai Zhiwen's mobile phone, there are two photos of the coffin.
After expert identification, the photos of the two coffins were taken that night, and the coffins in the photos are indeed real coffins.
The photo is taken on the front of the coffin, and the light screen on the surface of the coffin in the photo has been lit up, and a password prompt appears in the light screen - password prompt: Excuse me, who is the protagonist of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
Although the people of the entire Huaxia Kingdom did not know what kind of book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was, after reading the photo of the book coffin, most people began to believe that Professor Dai Zhiwen's book search team had indeed found the book coffin, but the book coffin had been stolen again.
When this information spread, most of the book search teams gave up their plans to search for the coffin. In their opinion, since the coffin has been found, there is no need to waste time looking for it.
In the following week, more than 90% of the Taoshu team chose to rest, and about 30% of them went home.
However, there are still a few book-hunting teams that insist on continuing to search for the coffin, including the Meteor Book-hunting team.
Liu Shiming originally wanted to choose to rest, but even Wang Lanlan had no motivation to look for it, but Yuxin insisted on continuing to search. Because she not only has to look for the coffin, but also takes the opportunity to find the underground library of the Money Book Society.
So, the Meteor Book Hunting Team continued to search for the book coffin in the area they were responsible for.
On the first day, they searched the No. 1 Novel Street area;
The next day, they searched the area of No. 2 Novel Street;
……
Eight days later, they had searched the area of 8 Novel Street.
Regrettably, the search results were nothing.
"Ah, I'm tired!"
In the evening, Wang Lanlan, who had been searching for a day, returned to the Meteor Book Bar, her delicate face showed a little tiredness, she and Liu Shiming, Yuxin and others searched with probe sticks for a whole day today.
"I still haven't found the coffin today. Wang Lanlan asked, "Sister Xin, are we going to continue looking for it tomorrow?"
"Hmm. Yuxin suggested, "Lan Lan, if you feel tired, take a rest tomorrow, and I'll just go find it myself." ”
"No, I don't. We are a team, and we must share hardships and hardships. Since you're looking for it, of course I'm going to accompany you. Wang Lanlan's thin eyebrows were bent, and her mouth pursed, "It's just that if the coffin is really in Baihua Mountain, aren't we destined to find the coffin?" I heard that Professor Dai Zhiwen has left Baihua Mountain today and returned to Nanxiang University in Tianhai City. ”
Liu Xing, who was sitting on the side, reminded: "The coffin may not really be in Baihua Mountain. ”
Wang Lanlan was curious: "But, didn't Professor Dai Zhiwen take pictures of the coffin, is the photo fake?"
"The photos have been verified by experts and should be real. It's just that even if the photo is real, it can't be stated that the coffin is in Baihua Mountain. Liu Xing took out a copy of "Tianhai Daily" from the table, pointed to the photo of the coffin published in the newspaper, and said, "This photo only captures the front of the coffin, and does not capture the environment around the coffin at all, so it is not certain that this photo must have been taken in Baihua Mountain." ”
"Didn't Professor Dai Zhiwen personally admit that his book-hunting team found the book coffin in Baihua Mountain?" Wang Lanlan rolled her eyes and said, "Unless Professor Dai Zhiwen is lying." ”
Liu Xing nodded: "That's right, unless it is proved that Professor Dai Zhiwen is not lying, it is not certain that the coffin must be in Baihua Mountain." ”
Wang Lanlan understood and praised: "Liu Xing, your self-soothing method is very good, after listening to your analysis, I suddenly have a glimmer of hope for finding the coffin." ”
Liu Shiming smiled lightly, touched Wang Lanlan's head, and said, "Lanlan, after a day of tossing, hurry back to the room to take a shower and sleep well." ”
"Hmm. Once you've gathered your spirits, we'll continue to fight tomorrow!"
After chatting, the three beauties went back to their respective rooms to take a bath, and because they were too tired, they all rested early.
As for Liu Xing, he is still awake.
He's going out tonight to do something.
Baihuashan suddenly appeared in the coffin, this matter was a little strange, and he decided to investigate. At present, all the news about the book coffin comes from the book search team led by Professor Dai Zhiwen.
Therefore, to investigate this matter, Professor Dai Zhiwen is obviously a breakthrough.
Today, the media broke the news that Professor Dai Zhiwen had left Huadu in the morning and returned to Tianhai City, and Liu Xing was going to meet this professor tonight.
Of course, not as Liu Xing, but as a black shadow man.
……
Late at night, Nanxiang University.
Nanxiang University, located in the West Fourth Ring Road of Tianhai City, is an ordinary comprehensive university, and Professor Dai Zhiwen teaches at this university.
At this time, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and it was quiet in Nanxiang University, and Liu Xing, dressed in black, was sitting on a big tree in the middle of the campus, waiting patiently.
He's waiting for someone.
Rustle!
Not long after, a middle-aged man, in his fifties, a little bald, walked up to a campus road in front of him, it was Professor Dai Zhiwen.
"It's finally here. ”
When Dai Zhiwen walked to the section under the big tree, Liu Xing's figure flashed, jumped down, and blocked the way.
Faced with the sudden situation, Professor Dai Zhiwen was taken aback, his face changed slightly, he looked at Liu Xing a few times, and asked, "Are you ...... Who are you?"
Liu Xing pretended to be a middle-aged man's voice and said, "You should be able to guess." ”
Dai Zhiwen chuckled in his heart and asked weakly: "You...... You're the legendary Shadow Man who can fly up and down walls?"
Liu Xing said lightly: "Don't worry, as long as you answer my questions honestly, I won't embarrass you." ”
Hearing this, Professor Dai Zhiwen's face showed a little fear, the legend of the black shadow man is haunting, and the martial arts are unfathomable, almost beyond the scope of human beings. Suddenly encountering such a ghostly character, it is inevitable that I will feel a little apprehensive.
"You...... What do you want to know?" Professor Dai Zhiwen's voice trembled a little.
"I heard that you found a book coffin in Baihua Mountain?"
"Yes...... Yes. ”
"Is there a password prompt on the coffin?"
"Yes. ”
"How did you see this password prompt?"
"After finding the coffin, we touched the coffin and saw this prompt. The prompt asks, who is the protagonist of "The Condor Heroes......"
"You lie. Liu Xing interrupted.
"I ...... I didn't. Professor Dai Zhiwen's throat moved.
Liu Xing asked rhetorically: "The coffin needs to enter the wrong password 5 times to see the password prompt, but you just said that you only touched the coffin and saw the prompt, this is not a lie?"
Dai Zhiwen's pupils shrank slightly, and he explained: "I just forgot about it for a while. Yes, we only saw the prompt after entering the wrong password 5 times. ”
Liu Xing smiled and said, "I lied to you, it's not enough to enter the wrong password 5 times, you need to enter it 10 times, are you going to change your mouth now?"
Hearing this, Professor Dai Zhiwen's face changed suddenly, and he knew that he seemed to have been deceived.
"You don't know how the coffin code works. Liu Xing debunked, "You may not have seen the coffin at all! You made up all the things in the news reports these days, right?"
"You...... Don't spray people with blood!" Professor Dai Zhiwen was a little anxious and defended, "At that time, it was a member of my book search team who was responsible for operating the coffin, not me. ”
Although he repeatedly argued, Liu Xing had already decided in his heart that there was something wrong with Professor Dai Zhiwen.
If you continue to ask like this, I am afraid that you will not be able to find out the truth, Liu Xing secretly displayed the "Nine Yin True Scripture" of the mind control technique "Soul Transfer*", in an attempt to control Dai Zhiwen's mind.
Soul Transfer* is only effective for people who are not strong-willed, after all, Dai Zhiwen is a professor, and his ambition is higher than ordinary people, and Soul Transfer* can't help him.
However, Liu Xing did not stop there.
Suddenly, Liu Xing's right hand directly grabbed Dai Zhiwen's claim, and the internal force in his body turned, like throwing a discus, throwing Dai Zhiwen's whole person away.
With an exclamation, Dai Zhiwen's entire body crossed an arc of more than ten meters in the air, and then fell into a lawn in front of him.
After landing, Dai Zhiwen's face was pale, a bean-sized cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and bursts of fear hit his heart.
He couldn't believe that he had been thrown out of the air, the terrifying power of the Shadow Man...... It's just chilling!
Walking forward, Liu Xing took out a sharp silver dagger from his arms.
Seeing this, Dai Zhiwen's face was as frightened as earth, and he begged urgently: "Black shadow man, don't ...... Don't kill me...... Please don't kill me...... I'll tell you everything......"
Liu Xing ignored it, and with a wave of his right hand, the dagger stabbed directly at Dai Zhiwen's face.
"Ahh
Dai Zhiwen screamed in fright, holding his head in his hands, the whole person curled up in a ball, squatting on the lawn and shivering.
Liu Xing's dagger didn't really stab Dai Zhiwen, it just scared him.
After such a fright, Dai Zhiwen's last psychological defense line has basically collapsed, and it is naturally impossible for his mind to be firm, and it is the best time to use the "Nine Yin True Scripture" to transfer souls*.
As soon as his mind moved, Liu Xing stared at Dai Zhiwen's eyes and cast a soul transfer on him again*.
After a short time, Dai Zhiwen entered a state of hypnosis.
Liu Xing began to ask: "Dai Zhiwen, have you found a book coffin in the Baihua Mountain Scenic Area?"
Dai Zhiwen's self-consciousness was already very weak, and after a while, he replied: "No, I haven't seen the coffin at all, everything is made up by me." ”
Liu Xing asked: "Why do you have a photo of the coffin?"
Dai Zhiwen replied: "The photo of the coffin was taken by someone else with my mobile phone, and then the mobile phone was given to me. ”
Liu Xing asked again: "What you said in the media is false?"
Dai Zhiwen admitted: "Yes. ”
Liu Xing wondered: "Why are you lying?"
Dai Zhiwen explained: "There was a middle-aged man who spent 2 million yuan to let our book search team lie that they had found the book coffin. ”
Asked this, Liu Xing roughly understood the situation, it seems that this is a scam, the coffin is not in Baihua Mountain, and someone deliberately wants to confuse the public.
And this person has a photo of a book coffin, which shows that he may really have a book coffin!
Liu Xing asked again: "Who are you talking about 'middle-aged man'?"
