Two hundred and fifty-one overnight tracking
Wu Ming, who was far away in Vietnam, naturally would not know about the scene that happened in the general city Ruibo Group, let alone know that Qi Zhibin, who had been used by himself as a legitimate defense witness, would be relatively warmly entertained by Zhong Caini for his own reasons.
At this time, Wu Ming didn't have any other thoughts about it, and all his energy was focused on how to find Sakurako Kawashima and his party.
That night, after being rescued from the pit by his so-called uncle Zhao Zhengqi, with the help of Nguyen Phuc Chun, who was still immersed in the dream of making a fortune, was eager to leave the scene, so as to avoid the police who heard the news, he successfully led him to the bank of the Mekong River in the north of Ji Gong Mao Town.
Before Ruan Fuchun could react, a young man who was originally supporting him raised his hand and cut it on the back of his neck, and he immediately fainted. In the blink of an eye, two other young men had pulled out a small boat that had been prepared long ago from the bushes on the shore.
After the three young men carried Ruan Fuchun onto the boat with their hands and feet, Zhao Zhengqi saw that Wu Ming was standing on the shore and did not move, so he couldn't help asking: "What do you say?"
"I still have something to do, so I won't go with you. ”
Zhao Zhengqi also knew that he had no right to interfere with Wu Ming's actions as a person, so he could only solemnly advise: "Then take care." ”
"Thank you. Seeing that the small boat carrying Nguyen Phuc Chun and the two young men was slowly heading towards the Cambodian side, Wu Ming, who had already turned around and walked two steps, suddenly turned around and said to Zhao Zhengqi who stayed on the shore: "I have my share of those rubies, you can't swallow them alone." ”
"It's really a dog can't change ****. ”
"Come on, I'm not like you. Wu Ming said as he walked: "It's almost thirty people, and I haven't tasted what it is like to be a woman." Women are so realistic now, don't I prepare something in advance?"
By the time he had finished speaking, the man had disappeared into the pre-dawn darkness.
Of course, he did not return the same way, nor did he continue north, and while waiting for Nguyen Phuc Chun's reply in Hanoi, Wu Minh had already studied the map near Ji Gong Mao. Moreover, in Wu Ming's mind at this time, it was basically expected that the direction of departure of Sakurako and his party should be from Jigongmao to the west, after crossing a section of lofty mountains and dense forests, and then turning north or south. Because there is no other way to avoid the Vietnamese police and hide your whereabouts well.
Wu Ming, who had never suffered a loss, was almost blown up and killed in that pit tonight, how could he give up? Not to mention that his task was to successfully hand over Ruan Fuchun to Zhao Zhengqi. Therefore, now that the task has been completed, of course he will not let go of Ruan Jichang, who was kindly let go by himself, but in turn revealed his whereabouts to Sakurako Kawashima. As for Kawashima Sakurako, she let it go twice in a row, not only was she grateful, but she even had to put herself to death, so you can imagine Wu Ming's mood at this time.
Of course, the key reason why Wu Ming insisted on staying and wanted to find Sakurako Kawashima was neither impulsive nor wanting to take revenge. It originated from the question that suddenly came to his mind when he was attacked by Kawashima Sakurako and others with guns and grenades at the bottom of the pit - whether someone at the top of the National Security Bureau had leaked his whereabouts to the outside world.
This is a very trivial matter, and it is absolutely not enough to rely on one's own inference and analysis, and it is necessary to find conclusive evidence. Undoubtedly, Sakurako Kawashima naturally became Wu Ming's best choice to find evidence. It was understood that once Sakurako Kawashima and his party passed through the mountains, whether they went south or north, it would be inconvenient for them to move on their own when they reached a densely populated place, so Wu Ming had to catch up with them before then.
The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and he is not familiar with the local terrain, the power of the broken mobile phone has been exhausted when it was at the bottom of the pit, even if it can be used for lighting, Wu Ming does not dare to use it rashly. I could only rely on the memory of the satellite map I had watched before, one foot deep and one foot shallow, along the winding path that was faintly recognizable, and move as fast as I could.
Until the sky was dark, and he saw the wisps of green smoke rising from a valley in front of him from a distance, Wu Ming guessed that nine times out of ten, it should be Kawashima Sakurako and his party resting there. After he approached further and discerned Kawashima Sakurako's crisp female voice from the faint voice that drifted in the wind, Wu Ming could finally stop and catch his breath.
Even in Vietnam, a country with a tropical monsoon climate, the weather at the end of October, especially in the mountains, is a bit cool at dawn. What's more, Wu Ming hadn't rested all night, not to mention a lot of sweat on his body, plus the dew on the vegetation along the way, his clothes had already been wet. I'm afraid that's why Sakurako Kawashima's entourage in front of them stopped and lit a bonfire.
Finding a crack in the dense forest that was breathy, Wu Ming leaned on the trunk of a tall tree and reached out to find the four rubies picked out at the bottom of the pit. Two in one hand, as a fitness ball, kept rubbing in the palm of the hand.
Not for anything else, just to distract yourself. Since eating a bowl of rice noodles and a bowl of ground beef on Jigongmao Street yesterday morning, Wu Ming has not eaten again, and his stomach has long been empty. In addition, he has not rested, and the hunger feeling of his chest against his back makes Wu Ming really unbearable.
This is completely different from the previous situation when he was hidden somewhere and motionless when he was on a mission, in that case, even if he insisted on it for another day and night, Wu Ming would have no problem. But the current situation is that it has been exerting physical strength at a high intensity since yesterday morning, and it is very likely that there will be a vicious fight next. Therefore, Wu Ming had to find a way to calm down in order to recover some of his physical strength as much as possible.
Unconsciously, Wu Ming didn't know when the wind changed, and he was able to hear half of what Sakurako Kawashima said intermittently. After a while, when Wu Ming suddenly heard Ruan Jichang's voice, he was very taken aback.
Why didn't you hear Nguyen Ji Chang's voice when you attacked me at night?
Did he deliberately not speak at the time, or was he not there at all?
Thinking about it, Wu Ming felt that under such circumstances, no one would think that he would be able to leave that pit alive, so Ruan Jichang would have no reason to hide his own existence. In other words, Nguyen Gi Chang was not at the scene at that time.
In this case, how did Ruan Jichang find Sakurako Kawashima and his party in such a remote place?
Did the two sides make an appointment in advance, or did Ruan Ji Chang, who was familiar with the terrain, guess Kawashima Sakurako's whereabouts like himself, so he rushed here in advance to intercept them?
It shouldn't have been an appointment in advance, after all, Ruan Jichang and Kawashima Sakurako have different purposes, and it is impossible for them to come together. After analyzing it in this way, Wu Ming immediately understood Ruan Jichang's intention to intercept Sakurako Kawashima halfway.
Obviously, Ruan Jichang's purpose in leaking Wu Ming's whereabouts to Sakurako Kawashima was to kill people with a knife. At the same time, he also hoped that Wu Ming could find the treasure left by the French for him. Therefore, Nguyen Ji Chang was bound to intercept Kawashima Sakurako, because in his mind, if Kawashima Sakurako succeeded in killing Wu Minh, it would be possible to discover the treasure left by the French that Wu Ming had found. Judging by Nguyen Gi Chang's return to the biker's lair again, he is bound to get the treasure left by the French, and he is definitely not willing to fall into the hands of others.
Of course, Nguyen Ji Chang was not sure that Sakurako Kawashima would be able to succeed. Then Ruan Jichang, who was not worried about encountering the police who rushed to Jigongmao after hearing the news, still chose this remote road with the intention of avoiding Wu Ming, who escaped from the hands of Kawashima Sakurako. It's just that he never expected that Wu Ming not only escaped by luck, but also chose the same path as him.
"It's a matter of self-pity. ”
After Wu Ming said something to himself, he put away the four rubies, and with the help of the cover of the dense forest, he quietly touched the valley where Sakura Kawashima and Ruan Jichang were.
