"Worried about that delicate little police flower? Her name is Jiang Xue, right? I've seen her badge. Don't worry, don't always think that people are weak, in fact, you have already undergone 12 individual subject training in the police academy, and there is no shortage of 12 essential skills for the police. Police training on the mainland is more scientific and practical than that in the United States...... Okay, right, do you care about your situation? We are running to the anti-thief pit in the black light like this, or we will be empty, or we will become a fat pig arch and die in vain, or do we want to have some other tricks? The woman said again.

I was really worried about Jiang Xue, and when she handed me the mineral water to me in the cage, this subtle psychological connection had already occurred.

If not, why should I save her in the hospital? In the same way, leaving her behind now is also a more profound protection.

I sat upright, clicked on the car's navigation device a few times, and typed in the name of "anti-thief pit". Although the name of the place has been changed to "Tai Hang Village", its old name can still be found in the navigation software.

"I don't need to navigate, I know the way there." The woman said with a smile.

"I'm afraid you'll lead me astray again." I said with a pun.

The woman smiled and bent over, withdrew her left hand from the steering wheel, and clutched her stomach vigorously.

It's not a joke, and even if it's a joke, it's not so laughable.

She laughed enough, re-grasped the steering wheel with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand to me: "I, Sangwan Fish, am not the 'elm' of 'Mo Dao Sangyu Wan', but - a fish in the mulberry forest at night." ”

My face flushed slightly, and the other party used sentences in ancient poems to explain his surname, he must have overheard Jiang Xue's words when he introduced himself, and deliberately followed suit at this moment.

"Long Fei." I reached out and shook her hand.

"In the past, the little king of Causeway Bay, 'Long Shao', was famous and thunderous, and he was far away in the United States, and he was also swiped by Your Excellency's name. However, I didn't expect to actually meet, but it was so low-key that people didn't dare to recognize each other. The world is impermanent and changeable, and life is difficult to endure. If I told my friends on Hong Kong Island that they had seen the 'dragon Shao' in Dunhuang, they would never have imagined that you would be what you are now! The woman sighed deeply.

I have no intention of being sad about the change of my identity, and I came to Dunhuang to find my roots, which I found on my own and voluntarily.

In the past, there were few dragons in Causeway Bay, and it was no longer me.

Today's dragon flying in Dunhuang is the true inspiration of my life.

"Miss Sang, I have only one request for you, from now on, it is best not to have any fatal killings. If you can't control your killing skills, then push the work to me and I'll do it. I must repeat to you repeatedly, this is in the territory of the mainland, and no one has a murder license like the great spy 007. As long as you kill someone, no matter who you kill, it will become a major criminal case and bring you a lot of trouble. If you don't want to do much, don't do it, am I clear enough? I said solemnly.

Sang Wanyu smiled and nodded: "Received, received, heard clearly, heard clearly." If I don't make a move, I just don't make trouble for myself, and I don't make trouble for your little police flower friends, right? Now, I'm just going to ask you one thing, what do we do next? Is it just running all the way to the anti-thief pit? ”

I raised my hand and asked her to pull over to the side of the road.

As long as everyone can reach a consensus and unify a course of action, the rest will be easier. What I wanted to do was what I thought of when I was in the safe house, and I found a way to find a way.

I dialed Lu Zhongguo's phone, and the phone rang for two cycles before he picked up the phone late.

"Guide Law, I'm Long Fei, I have something to ask for." I'll get straight to the point, and I'll start the topic in three sentences.

Lu Zhongguo's voice was very sober, and the background sound was also very quiet, proving that he was not in the bar and had not drunk.

"Mr. Long, please speak." He responded.

I described the predicament that Gu Tingcheng might encounter now in the simplest sentence: "She went to the anti-thief pit with a senior in the rivers and lakes, and I was delayed for more than ten hours before going out because of something in the hospital. Now, I can't contact her, I'm afraid that my friends over there are 'slaughtering sheep'. You are familiar with everyone, first notify the people who may be attacked one by one, ask for money to give money, leave a line for life, and wait for the meeting, no matter how much money it costs, I will take the money to buy people - call immediately, call immediately! ”

Before, the impression that Lu Zhongguo gave me was always greedy and unrestrained, as long as he gave money, he could do anything, and the more money he gave, the more daring he became, and there was no end to it.

Such a person can take care of everything he talks and does, and can be bought with money at any time.

Only this time, I heard something different from his voice: "Mr. Long, you mean, Miss Gu dared to go to the anti-thief pit?" This ...... It's so bad, and she's too bold. I'll call right away, as long as I find a clue, hurry up and save people, without delay! ”

He didn't mention money, but in the past, he always used the word "money" on his lips, and he had to do things and set prices first.

"Okay, I'll wait for your call." I say.

I didn't rush to hang up the phone, but held my breath, listened to the background sound on the other end of the phone, and carefully discerned where Ritsu Zhongguo was at the moment.

"Crackling, crackling", a slight popping sound came to my ears very clearly, and at the same time, there was also a "buzzing" wind sound that rang high and low. The third sound is the "click, click" sound when the lid of the lighter is repeatedly opened and closed.

The meaningful sounds I can distinguish are mainly these three sounds, and then I can be sure that there is no second person at the scene except for the sound of Lu Zhongguo's breathing.

Sang Wanyu is an experienced man, and when he saw that I was listening, he immediately turned off the air conditioner in the car, and then he also held his breath and stared at the mobile phone in my palm.

"Winter has arrived, will spring be far away?" Suddenly, Lu Zhongguo muttered two lines of Shelley's poem.

He must not have noticed that the call was still going on before he inadvertently revealed what was on his mind.

Those two lines of poetry often appear when a person is most stressed and overwhelmed, and they will naturally be recited to encourage themselves to survive the harsh winter and usher in spring.

At the moment, Lu Zhongguo can get a large amount of money from Gu Tingcheng, if money is not a problem, where is his pressure? Could it be that he was really worried about the recovery of the Western Xia Kingdom?

"Call, call...... In any case, at this time, we can't let Miss Gu have an accident, and we can't let the anti-thief pit have an accident......" He muttered to himself again, and then the communication was cut off.

I put down my phone and closed my eyes in contemplation.

The "humming" wind sound represents that Lu Zhongguo is alone in a closed basement, cellar, tunnel, or other space, which is the sound resonance generated by the occasional poor air flow.

The "crackling" sound is rarely heard by modern people and associated with the correct answer, which is the sound of the lamp bursting, that is, the high-temperature explosion caused by the accumulation of impurities in the combustion after the wick of the candle and oil lamp burns to a certain extent.

When the above two answers are combined, the meaning is even more obvious. Lu Zhongguo is in an underground secret room at the moment, there is no power supply in the secret room, and he holds a candle or oil lamp as a lighting tool in his hand to make the above sound. If a third voice were added, my answer would be as follows: "Yutsu Chung-kook was sitting in a secret room, and the flames of the candlesticks and torches were very close to his ears, so the sound of the lights bursting was subtle, but it could be clearly heard by me on the other end of the phone." The man has only two hands, he holds the phone in one hand, and the other hand is fiddling with a lighter, and subconsciously opens and closes the lid of the lighter, proving that he is hesitating about something in his heart, and it is the critical moment to make a decision. ”

I told Sang Wanyu the answer, and she basically agreed: "Well, it seems that the tour guide knows a lot of things and has other ideas. ”

"As long as he can rescue my friend, it's his business what Lu Zhongguo Ai thinks. In the 21st century, it is really ...... to talk about the recovery of the Western Xia Kingdom" I don't want to use derogatory terms like "daydreaming" to detract from the dream of the Kingdom of Lu Zhongguo, but Sang Wanyu doesn't care, and immediately continues, "Daydreaming!" ”

Times have changed, and even if the Lu clan respects the legacy of their ancestors, there is no hope of recovering the country.

"Dunhuang...... It is full of all kinds of legends and legendary characters, some have given up their dreams and started a new life on the ground, while others have been daydreaming all their lives, hoping to be drunk and unwilling to wake up. Which of these two lives is right or wrong? No one can tell...... "Sang Wanyu also became emotional.

In my opinion, if Lu Zhongguo's dream of recovering the country never wakes up, then he can be considered happy, but he is just living in a happy soap bubble.

Lu Zhongguo's call back was delayed, and Sang Wanyu and I sat quietly in the car and waited, and neither of us took the initiative to continue on the road.

At the critical moment of decision-making, direction is more important than everything.

The direction is wrong, and the efforts are in vain.

Half an hour later, Lu Zhongguo called. At this time, the background tone of the phone has changed, and it seems to be in a quiet courtyard, and the chirping of birds is constantly heard all around.

"I made more than a dozen phone calls, and there was indeed news that Miss Gu and another person fell into someone else's trap and were taken to see a group of Shi Weng Zhong in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the result was ...... I've spread the word that my friends on the road are looking for a way to contact the guys. Everyone let out the wind, and some people are willing to save people at a high price. As long as the other party hears the wind, he will not hurt Miss Gu. Mr. Long, if this matter is resolved peacefully, I hope that Miss Gu will be able to cash the check as soon as possible and add 20% to the original price. Lu Zhongguo said.

I agreed in a deep voice: "It's not a problem, but we have to make sure that Miss Gu is safe and sound." ”

The mobile phone is on speakerphone, and Sang Wanyu can also hear what Lu Zhongguo said.

"Ask him, where are we going to pick people up? Or, where do you wait? Sang Wanyu whispered to my ear.

I waited until Lu Zhongguo's voice dropped slightly, and immediately asked, "Give me an approximate location first, I have to rush over to pick up someone in advance." ”

Lu Zhongguo pondered for a moment and replied reluctantly: "In the southeast of Dunhuang City, there is a large jujube orchard outside the ring road, and there are teahouses and restaurants outside. Wait there first, and I'll let you know as soon as there is news. ”

Sang Wanyu held the mobile phone in his hand, immediately opened the Baidu map, searched for the location of the jujube garden, and showed it to me.

The jujube orchard is two kilometers south of the intersection of the East Ring Road and the South Ring Road, and it is only more than 10 kilometers away from the Mogao Grottoes.

"Okay, wait for your good news." I say.

I hope that this matter can be solved with money, but at the same time, I know that it is extremely unlikely.

After ending the call, Sang Wanyu kept frowning, and her fingertips swiped around the screen of her mobile phone, surveying the road conditions near the jujube garden.

"This law Zhongguo is not telling the truth." Sang Wanyu said suddenly.

"None of his words were true." I correct her.

He finally mentioned the issue of money, but it was clear from his tone that he was trying to hide something else.

When the greedy man mentions money, like a shark smelling blood, he goes crazy and gathers all his strength to pursue it.

Under normal circumstances, once Lu Zhongguo accidentally discovered another gap in making money, he would be ecstatic, and his tone would become high-pitched and excited. But now, when he talked about the price increase, his tone did not change, and after I said yes, he was not surprised.

These are all extremely abnormal, he must be going around in circles with us.

"Just now, I have already located his mobile phone signal, which is near the intersection of the southeast ring road, and I can't rule out the possibility of being in that jujube orchard. I had just heard birds chirping in the background of the phone, which was consistent with the situation of standing in the woods and making a phone call. Sang Wanyu said.

I have also thought about this possibility, and even thought that Lu Zhongguo may be the one who framed Gu Tingcheng, and it was he who captured Gu Tingcheng and Sikong Xingxing.

I called Meng Qiao, and strangely, Meng Qiao had turned off his phone.

Things are getting more and more weird, usually Meng Qiao's mobile phone is turned on 24 hours a day, whether it is at home or in the car, there is always a spare battery, and it is impossible to automatically shut down when there is no power.
