Chapter 436: Borrowing a knife to kill
Dead people can't walk around and talk, let alone use banned drugs to harm people, it seems that the fake Heavenly Machine Daoist has been deliberately dressed up.
"The 'quantity' we feel on the mountainside is the physical body emanating from the Heavenly Machine." Xiao Lang sighed, "It's a pity that the hundred-year cultivation of the Heavenly Machine Dao Master almost made us fall for that pretend." ”
Indeed, the "quantity" emanating from the body of the Heavenly Machine Dao Chief was exactly what everyone felt on the mountainside, if it weren't for the fact that they were shocked by this "quantity" before, Xiao Lang and the other three would not have forgotten to pay attention to what was wrong with the impostor.
"Looks like I'm hopeless." Zeng Yifan shrugged helplessly.
At the moment, all the clues have been cut off, and if you can't recover your abilities, you won't be able to continue to participate in the divination competition, and you won't be able to get the negative lock dragon key.
The key is that at this time, they are still in the situation of being rounded up by Ding Zhengtao's people, and there are mysterious people who are the first to take the lead everywhere, not to mention the competition, even their lives are in danger.
Just when Zeng Yifan and the others were running around, Ding Zhengtao, who was sitting in the organizing committee of the divination competition, was not idle.
In addition to arranging and controlling the pursuit of Zeng Yifan, he also had to deal with those financial predators who were in a hurry to get money, and he was annoyed by phone calls and online messages.
Originally, Yuan Gang and the others had guaranteed that they could track down Zeng Yifan, but now they have completely entered a state of silence, and they don't know where they are at this time.
Ding Zhengtao doesn't care whether Zeng Yifan is alive or dead, but whether it is Zeng Yifan who is alive or dead, he must fall into his own hands, otherwise, he will not be able to explain to those financial predators.
However, from the eyeliners arranged all over the city, Ding Zhengtao learned some useful news. But the news is just news, and it is not easy to keep up and determine the whereabouts of Zeng Yifan and others. After chasing after him for a while, the group of subordinates found that they had been in the air several times, and they could only sigh at Zeng Yifan.
"Ding Ye." Xiao Jia cautiously walked into Ding Zhengtao's room, "There are guests ......"
"Nope! Missing! Ding Zhengtao was trying his best to think about countermeasures, but was interrupted by Xiao Jia, and he was immediately angry.
Xiao Jia, who was scolded, shrank back, looking a little embarrassed, he knew that Ding Zhengtao's temper must be not small at the moment, but the people outside also had a big background.
"Ding Ye is the leader of the Onizuka faction of the island country and the Eight Extremes Sect of Goryeo." Xiao Jia puffed up his strength and said again, "They said that the representatives of the two factions were brutally killed for no reason, and the organizing committee of the competition should be held responsible." ”
"What?! The islanders and Koreans should be held accountable?! Ding Zhengtao's face changed, "These self-righteous guys, their own means are not good, and they can't get cheap on Zeng Yifan, and now they are putting pressure on me." ”
Having said that, Ding Zhengtao knew in his heart that he couldn't offend these two unruly forces, his position in the divination world was still unstable, and he was still facing such a hot potato as Zeng Yifan in front of him.
"Okay, I'll go meet these 'masters'." Ding Zhengtao's eyes rolled, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, and I'm going to lead you to an inside today." ”
In the luxurious reception hall, two men over the age of 60 were sitting on the sand and waiting, and behind each stood several middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes.
The man seated at the east end was dressed in a well-dressed dark gray suit, with a long white tie behind his head, and a gentle smile on his lean face. He was smoking a large pipe, and his short-bearded mouth was squirming.
The man sitting on the sand at the west end had a square face, high cheekbones, a slanted forehead with knife-like forehead lines, and a blackened hair combed into the back. He pursed his thin lips, his two small eyes kept sweeping around, and his face was gloomy.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ding Zhengtao walked into the hall with a smile, raised his hand and greeted the two, "Recently, I have been busy with affairs, and I have been waiting for a long time." ”
"Mr. Ding, excuse me." The man smoking the pipe stood up and bowed slightly, "I won't waste much of your time." ”
"Mr. Onizuka, you're welcome." Ding Zhengtao smiled at the man, "Please sit, please sit, if you have something to say, speak slowly." ”
Jiro Onizuka, the representative of the founding family of the Japanese Onizuka faction, has been in charge of the external affairs of the Onitsuka faction for nearly ten years. It is worth mentioning that Jiro Onizuka himself is a rather clever feng shui master.
"It's not reminiscence! We want justice and fairness! The small-eyed man said dissatisfiedly, "You must explain the brutal murder of the representative of the Eight Extremes Sect!" ”
"Brutal killing? Mr. Kim, you are serious. Ding Zhengtao pretended to be surprised and said, "The rules of the divination competition are originally life and death, how can you talk about the word killing?" ”
Kim Hyo-kyung, the ruling figure of the Goryeo Baji sect, led to the revival of the declining Baji sect and its gradual expansion into East and Southeast Asia.
The successive deaths of Choi Eun-young, Park Geun-hee, and Shinzo Fukuda had a great impact on the two factions of Onizuka and Yaji, especially those radical figures who strongly advocated a public declaration of war on the organizing committee of the competition.
Of course, this claim was immediately denied, and the likes of Onizuka and Kim Hyo-kyung were well aware of the difference in strength between the two sides, and they did not have any advantages at all. Moreover, things like a declaration of war do not necessarily bring real benefits. And the financial predators who support both factions economically, also have this view.
In this case, Ding Zhengtao has naturally become a good breakthrough point. He is a mercenary villain, and the position he has just stolen is not yet secure, and Onizuka and Kim Hyo-kyung feel that as long as they put some pressure on him, one can fight back face, and the other can get what they want relatively smoothly.
The villain is not a soft persimmon, and if it is not pinched well, it may become a cactus.
"Life and death? I'm not interested in such barbaric backward rules. Jin Xiaojing said with a blushing face, "As the host, you have the responsibility to protect the lives of foreign representatives. ”
The tough words rang out, and Ding Zhengtao's face sank, no matter what, he is now appearing as the top manager of the organizing committee of the competition, Jin Xiaojing took such an arrogant attitude, and it seemed that he didn't take himself seriously at all.
"We are all sorry for such a tragedy." Onizuka glanced at Ding Zhengtao's face and said gently, "I believe that Mr. Ding will definitely understand our feelings and will give a reasonable solution as soon as possible." ”
"I can understand the feelings of the two of you, and we deeply regret this matter." Ding Zhengtao had a professional smile on his face, "The cause of the incident is still to be investigated, and I hope you two can wait patiently for our reply." ”
"I see, it looks like you've already started investigating." Onizuka pretended to be abrupt, "Can you give me the exact time?" We also have an explanation for the angry disciples of this department. ”
"The words of prevarication are all prevarication words!" Jin Xiaojing said dissatisfied, "The Chinese have always liked to use delaying the army, and in the end, it is not over." ”
Watching the two of them sing and harmonize, Ding Zhengtao's heart was clear, Onitsuka and Jin Xiaojing obviously colluded in advance, one sang with a red face and the other with a white face, and put pressure on himself on both sides to achieve the goal of forcing him to comply.
Play this trick with me, your Taoism is still far away, Ding Zhengtao thought to himself.
However, for the time being, these two factions of people cannot be offended, Ding Zhengtao already has a plan for both worlds in his heart, all he has to do is to reap the benefits of the fishermen.
"This ......" Ding Zhengtao glanced at the entourage behind the two, and put on a look of wanting to say something.
Onizuka smiled and waved his hand, and several of his attendants immediately disappeared outside the door, and Kim Hyo-kyung saw that Onizuka was like this, so he also ordered his men to go out and wait.
"Don't hide it, in fact, we are chasing the murderer of your representative." Ding Zhengtao said sincerely, "But the murderer's ability is very high, and someone is secretly assisting, so he can't be arrested for the time being." ”
"Of course, it is difficult to catch the living, but it is much more convenient to catch the dead." Jin Xiaojing's little eyes showed a fierce light, "He is innocent of death, and it is not impossible to use some drastic means." ”
Onizuka was not as impatient as Jin Xiaojing, he heard that Ding Zhengtao had something to say, if it was just to say what he just said, then there was no need for them to retreat.
"Mr. Ding, do you mean that the murderer must be captured alive?" Onizuka took off his pipe, stared at Ding Zhengtao's eyes and said, "It seems that there is some compulsion to take the difficult and give it up." ”
Ding Zhengtao stood up and took two steps back and forth, with a look of embarrassment on his face, he was pretending, if it weren't for this, his thoughtful words below would not be easy to start.
"As Mr. Onitsuka said, Ding is indeed forced to do so." Ding Zhengtao suddenly stood on his feet and sighed, "Asking for the murderer to be captured alive is also what Mr. Gangcun and Mr. Che meant." ”
As soon as the words came out, Jin Xiaojing's little eyes immediately widened, and even Onizuka's face, which had been smiling, changed color slightly.
Mr. Gangcun and Mr. Che in Ding Zhengtao's mouth are the big dealers who participated in this external gambling, and they are also the financial predators who funded the Onizuka faction and the Taiji sect respectively behind the scenes.
In the early days of the divination competition, Onitsuka and Jin Xiaojing also got some news, and they knew about the two of them, but they didn't know what role Ding Zhengtao played in this.
Now judging from the meaning of his words, it seems that the two predators have carte blanche to entrust Ding Zhengtao to handle the arrest of the murderer, and the capture of the "murderer" alive is of course directly related to the income of the two predators in the gambling game.
Onitsuka worshipped these two predators like gods, so naturally they didn't dare to offend. In this way, it is not good to force anything more on Ding Zhengtao.
"Since that's what those two gentlemen meant, it's inconvenient for us to say anything more." Onizuka smiled more gently, "When Mr. Ding has the result, please notify us as soon as possible." ”
"It won't be too long anyway, so it's okay to wait." Jin Xiaojing also laughed, as if he was not the one who was coercing and criticizing just now.
The two of them went down the stairs and exchanged a few polite words, but they didn't mean to stay here. But just as they were about to say goodbye, Ding Zhengtao said something that they didn't expect.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of having a reluctant request." Ding Zhengtao smiled as sincerely as possible, "Regarding the pursuit of the murderer, I would like to ask the two of you to assist together." ”
"What Mr. Ding means......" Onitsuka's eyes rolled, pondering Ding Zhengtao's intentions.
"The murderer's ability is indeed extraordinary, if you can get the assistance of the two, I believe this matter will be solved faster." Ding Zhengtao continued to smile, "In this way, you can also have an explanation to Mr. Gangcun and Mr. Che as soon as possible, as for the future, ......"
"You're going to leave the murderer at our disposal?" Kim Hyo-kyung understood what he meant.
"Hehe, that's nature." Ding Zhengtao smiled happily, "Killing people to pay off debts and pay off debts is a matter of course." ”
Onitsuka and Jin Xiaojing secretly exchanged glances, each had an idea in his heart, and immediately agreed to Ding Zhengtao's request.
……
On the west side of Qingfeng Mountain, seven or eight figures were running on the mountain road, judging from the speed and body of the runners, this was a group of professionally trained people, and their target was the Qingfeng Dao Temple on the top of the mountain.
When approaching the top of the mountain, these figures suddenly stopped at the edge of a huge rock, and one of the leaders raised his hand and pressed the side of his ear, and whispered something in his mouth, his voice was a little strange, as if he was reporting the situation on the mountain.
At this moment, in the Qingfeng Taoist Temple, Zeng Yifan and others returned to the West Wing, and when they saw that the night was dark, the Taoist chief left four people to spend the night in the Taoist Temple.
After a day of running, Zeng Yifan and the others were already hungry, and it happened that the Taoist chief went down the mountain yesterday to buy some rice and noodles, so he went to prepare some for them to satisfy their hunger.
At present, all the clues have been cut off, and Zeng Yifan's divination ability seems to be irretrievable. Several people didn't have any ideas for the time being, and sat facing each other in a daze, staring at each other with big eyes.
At this moment, Tang Yi's nose moved, and his face suddenly changed.
"Run!" He let out a low cry, straightened his arms, and threw Zeng Yifan somewhere in the house. Seeing this, Mo Rufeng and Xiao Lang reflexively rushed there at the same time.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Several flames rose into the sky, and the entire west wing was pushed into the air by a huge wave of air.
……
There are many great human beings, and their original roles were used to benefit mankind, and they can be used to slowly change their flavor and become a power tool to "benefit" some people.
Explosives, for example, are used in mining, road construction, water conservancy, engineering blasting, metalworking, and seismic exploration, and all of them are good things, but ironically, the most widely used field of explosives is still war, or killing.
As a result, there is such a group of so-called experts who use explosives with extreme precision.
These people can accurately tell how much explosives are needed to blow up a tall building; how much explosives are needed to kill a hundred civilians; How much explosives are needed to blow up a lively public place, and take pride in it, and never get tired of it.
One such group of men who planted explosives outside the West Wing were the two men who had served in a special forces unit in Korea and were good at blasting.
After planting the explosives at the fixed position as quickly as possible, the two of them quickly evacuated to a safe area, and then detonated the explosives, and then the west wing where Zeng Yifan and the others were staying flew straight into the sky.
At that moment, the two of them were a little unhappy, judging from the effect of the explosion, the explosives were used a little more, and they were not perfect. In addition to this, the companions with miniature submachine guns behind them also made them a little unhappy, in their opinion, this was completely redundant, and even a little underestimating them.
Under an explosion of this magnitude, even if the iron man staying in the house is still shattered.
