Chapter 17: The opening scene of the Buddha outside the Guanwai

When Chen Taidong walked into the prison area, Xuan Tong was skipping rope on the right side, Sheng Feng was reading the newspaper with reading glasses on the left side, and a paper cup full of tea was placed in front of him.

Chen Taidong stopped and looked at Sheng Feng through the barbed wire, and the two looked at each other in the "pop" sound made by the skipping rope of Xuan Pupil, until Sheng Feng raised his hand and pointed at Chen Taidong, and only whispered the words "Guanwai Buddha" for a long time.

At the same time as those three words came out, Xuan Tong stopped skipping rope and cast his eyes over, staring at Chen Taidong's back.

Chen Taidong nodded slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "Master Sheng, it's been a long time. ”

Sheng Feng grabbed the barbed wire, looked at Chen Taidong closely, and subconsciously glanced at the surveillance, then took a step back and looked Chen Taidong up and down carefully.

At this time, Fu Mingwei in the monitoring room looked at the screen closely, stretched out two fingers, pressed the heads of Sheng Feng and Chen Taidong on the screen respectively, and said softly: "The big drama has begun." ”

Dong Guozhi nodded slightly, while Wu Zhinan began to adjust the radio device, trying to hear the conversation between the two clearlyβ€”the police have installed radio devices in several important areas of the prison area, which are similar to bugs, but the radio range is much larger.

Sheng Feng looked at Chen Taidong for a long time, and finally locked his eyes on his handcuffs and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Chen Taidong smiled: "I was brought out of Phoenix Mountain Prison by the police, and they asked me to pretend to be a key criminal in an antique case to approach you and get the information they wanted to know. ”

After Chen Taidong finished speaking, Fu Mingwei and the three people in the monitoring room were taken aback, Dong Guozhi scolded in a low voice, turned around to go out and bring Chen Taidong back, but was grabbed by Wu Zhinan, Dong Guozhi also saw Fu Mingwei raise his hand to stop him.

Dong Guozhi hurriedly said: "We were tricked by that old boy!" ”

"Shhh-" Fu Mingwei motioned for Dong Guozhi to be quiet, "Listen." ”

After listening to this, Sheng Feng smiled, then slowly stepped back, sat on the original chair, picked up the newspaper and shook his head: "Look at you like this, you have broken the rules and have cooperated with the police?" ”

Chen Taidong sneered, turned around and glanced at Xuan Tong behind him, and then turned back and said: "Master Shengmen, the three people here now, except for the one surnamed Xuan behind me, the other two have broken the rules and are forced to cooperate with the police, so why do you have to laugh at fifty steps and take a hundred steps?" ”

Sheng Feng raised his eyes and looked at him: "So, the police really told you everything?" ”

Chen Taidong didn't answer directly, but just asked: "This Xuan Pupil behind me is the descendant of the Xuan family of the Jade Casting Society, right?" How many generations is he a pioneer? However, as far as I know, there are now two first workers of the Jade Casting Society, one is Zheng Cangqiong's apprentice torture, and the other is Fan Meng, the son of Fan Junyi, one of the four first workers of the previous year, what is going on? How did such a big change happen? What's wrong with all of you? ”

When Fu Mingwei heard this, he smiled, he felt that this Chen Taidong was really too thief, he asked like this now, he could achieve two purposes, the first was to use Sheng Feng's mouth to confirm and explain in detail some things about their industry, because he knew that the police could hear the conversation, in this way, many secrets in this industry were not told by himself, but Sheng Feng said, he was not the one who broke all the rules; Second, Fu Mingwei and others would not believe 100% of what he said before, so he was tantamount to using Sheng Feng to confirm that his previous news was true.

Fu Mingwei stared at Chen Taidong in the picture, shook his head with a sneer, and said, "An old ghost!" ”

Sheng Feng's cleverness is not in vain, after listening to Chen Taidong's inquiry, he got up and kicked the barbed wire, the sound of the barbed wire was transmitted to the monitoring room through the radio device, so that Fu Mingwei and the three subconsciously covered their ears, and then heard Sheng Feng said: "Those words of yours, which ones are said to me, which ones are said to the police, I know very well, I also know very well, you are here for the tattooed ferret, but, I give you a piece of advice, the tattooed ferret is not easy to mess with, and people in this industry can avoid it, Do you still want to wade into this troubled water? It's unbelievable. ”

Chen Taidong nodded and asked: "Master Shengmen, the three people standing here now are all over two hundred years old, to put it mildly, they are all people buried in their throats, what else is there to be afraid of?" I'm not afraid, but I don't know what you're afraid of, your home is settled, are you still afraid? Your eldest son is dead, the position of the owner of the door has been passed to the younger son, even if the Heyu Group is gone, the Heyu Gate is still there, you don't have any worries, let's work together to find out the tattooed weasel, you have made meritorious contributions, and you are older, maybe you will be sentenced to a suspended death, and you can die in prison. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Taidong pretended to be mysterious, and said close to the barbed wire: "Let the police give you a pension and send you to the end of your life, what do you want?" ”

Chen Taidong's words made Fu Mingwei and Wu Zhinan in the monitoring room laugh, but Dong Guozhi frowned and shook his head, he didn't like this kind of joke that ridiculed his profession.

Sheng Feng took a deep breath, spit it out slowly, and said lightly: "I said at the beginning that I would cooperate with the police, directly, not through people like you." ”

Chen Taidong nodded, turned around and walked towards the outside of the prison area, saying as he walked, "You are really still afraid of me." ”

When these words came out, Sheng Feng, who had already sat down, grabbed the newspaper, and then released it, pretending to take the teacup and drink tea in a relaxed manner, but his attention was on Xuan Tong outside the two layers of barbed wire, Xuan Tong didn't seem to care about what they said at all, and had been exercising.

When Chen Taidong returned to the interrogation room, Dong Guozhi asked angrily: "You are playing us." ”

Chen Taidong looked at Dong Guozhi and said with a smile: "I finally believe that you are a novice now." ”

Dong Guozhi was dissatisfied: "What do you mean? You have to figure out who you are! ”

Fu Mingwei raised his hand to ask Dong Guozhi not to say anything, he sat on the sofa, while Wu Zhinan sat on the armrest, both of them had satisfied smiles, Chen Taidong looked at the two sideways: "Today's harvest is good, not only did I know Shengfeng but also the important news about the weasel was not said, and second, even if he had tricks in a short time, he didn't dare to play tricks." ”

Wu Zhinan said: "Your purpose today is to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger?" ”

Fu Mingwei said: "Do you think that Shengfeng didn't tell the important news of the weasel because he said that he doesn't like intermediaries, and if he wants to cooperate, he will cooperate directly with the police?" ”

Chen Taidong smiled: "It seems that both of you heard it just now." ”

Fu Mingwei nodded: "Mr. Chen, what are you going to do next?" ”

"Observe!" Chen Taidong said two words, "Observe the two of them first, that Xuan Tong shouldn't know about the weasel, but the Xuan family is a high-IQ family in historical legends." ”

Wu Zhinan asked: "You mean, you are going to win over Xuan Tong to help you?" Is this the best policy? ”

Chen Taidong shook his head: "The best policy is that I cooperate with the police investigation, the middle policy is to win over Xuantong to participate, and the next policy is that you don't interfere at all, and I will do it alone." ”

Fu Mingwei shook his head: "I understand the upper policy and the middle policy, what does the lower policy mean?" ”

Chen Taidong explained: "Put me in there too. ”

"No way!" Dong Guozhi immediately refused in the rear, "The devil knows what you're going to do!" ”

Chen Taidong smiled: "Officer Dong, can I trouble you not to use this tone?" I feel uncomfortable to listen to, because I only need to say one word to refute you, and you will not only be speechless, but even more uncomfortable. ”

Dong Guozhi took a step forward: "You ......"

Wu Zhinan subconsciously used his body to block Dong Guozhi, he and Fu Mingwei both knew that if Chen Taidong said something like "Officer Dong, you have the final say", Dong Guozhi's reaction would be exactly the same as Chen Taidong's description, and the contradiction between the two would be deeper.

Fu Mingwei nodded: "I'll think about it, you can rest first, and someone will bring you food later." ”

After speaking, Fu Mingwei turned around and left, and Wu Zhinan also turned around and motioned for Dong Guozhi to go first, and he followed. After the three of them returned to the next room, Fu Mingwei asked Dong Guozhi to sit down and asked, "Guozhi, what's the matter with you?" ”

Wu Zhinan didn't speak, and just looked at Dong Guozhi with a puffed face.

Dong Guozhi frowned and said, "Team Fu, I always feel that something is wrong with this old man." ”

"It's right to be vigilant, but be calm, the less calm you are, the easier it is for him to catch you." Fu Mingwei handed over a bottle of drink, "Can't you feel it?" He's provoking you, that's all I have to say, calm down yourself, go ahead, go out and get some fresh air. ”

Dong Guozhi nodded, put on his hat and left, and after he left, Wu Zhinan smiled and said: "Old man, to say something unpleasant, this kid has been a little swollen recently." ”

Fu Mingwei said: "I know, and I know very well why he is like this. ”

"Because of me." Wu Zhinan looked at the surveillance, "He was brought here by you, this is a new department, and in time, he may be able to become the second-in-command, or a political commissar, instructor or the like, but you called me here, in terms of qualifications, in terms of age, he can't compare to me, so I think it's hopeless, and I want to be in a hurry to make meritorious contributions to prove myself." ”

Fu Mingwei nodded: "Yes, that's the case, he is still young, he has not experienced many things, and he carries the word 'frivolous' on his back, unlike us, he is full of 'caution' all over his body, and he does not have any political sensitivity, and he thinks about many things simply, unless he is a particularly outstanding person, the first thing you learn should be to behave in the world, not only to colleagues, but also ......to them."

Fu Mingwei pointed to Sheng Feng and Xuan Tong on the surveillance screen, and then turned to look at Chen Taidong in the next room.

Chen Taidong was still flipping through the file at this time, recording something next to him with a pen, and talking to himself from time to time.

"This old man is really smart, to be honest, if I were him, I would have said the same thing as him when I first walked in, because only then would I really lower Shengfeng's vigilance." Wu Zhinan stood in front of the one-way glass, "Just imagine, if Chen Taidong really did what he planned and said that he was also a prisoner, an old ghost like Shengfeng would definitely not believe it, plus Chen Taidong's reputation would increase his vigilance dozens or even hundreds of times, but Chen Taidong directly said that he was cooperating with the police and deliberately disguised as a prisoner, even if Shengfeng's vigilance will not weaken, it will not increase, just like, you know that there is a trap in front of you, and someone comes to tell you that there is no trap there, On the contrary, you will wonder if there is a trap around you besides that trap, but if someone tells you that there is indeed a trap there, your vigilance will not be doubled, and a certain amount of trust and gratitude will be added to your subconscious vigilance. ”

Fu Mingwei held a cigarette in his mouth, but did not light it: "Yes, he did that just now, not to deceive us, but to show us and prove himself." ”

"And ......" Wu Zhinan pointed to the glass road, "He knows that Dong Guozhi is a rookie, he wants to find a breakthrough between the three of us, and now he has found it, it is Dong Guozhi, so if the national title is not cautious in the future, he will lead him by the nose." ”

Fu Mingwei smiled: "Don't chase after the poor, and the teacher will be gone." This gap was deliberately left by me to Chen Taidong, and the gap of Xuan Tong was deliberately left by me to Chen Taidong and Shengfeng, the same way, if I and you still have the national title, do everything perfectly, and under the premise of no loopholes, Chen Taidong's behavior will definitely be different from now, and we will not be able to analyze what he wants to do at that time. ”

Wu Zhinan nodded silently.

……

In the labyrinth of the deep mountains of Xiangxi, after searching for several hours, Xingshu and the others finally excavated a tunnel entrance and exit under a stone pillar to the north, and they could find that this entrance and exit was completely the credit of Tan Tong. Tan Tong kept thrusting the trekking poles in his hand into the ground, because he judged that if there was really an underground river below, and it was indeed a mechanism driven by water flow, then these stone pillars should definitely be carved out of the stone mountain, but to make a mechanism, it was necessary to go deep underground, so there must be entrances and exits around, otherwise the builders would not be able to go up and down freely.

After excavating the soil with a surface depth of nearly one and a half meters, and the stone slab of the passage below was exposed, Yan Gang gasped and said, "Cannon King, there is really yours." ”

Tan Tong sat on one side and said: "We are also lucky, Xiangxi is humid, plus it rained a few days ago, the soil on the ground is not too dry, and the cane is easy to pierce into the soil, but if it doesn't rain, our workload will be doubled today." ”

Torture Shu jumped down on the edge of the deep pit, stepped on the stone slab and said, "It seems that this stone slab is not lightweight, and it is estimated that it is not easy to lift it." ”

Samuchuan just watched from the side, Tan Tong stepped forward and said: "This kind of stone slab must have one side fixed, just like the hinge of the door, otherwise, it will be quite troublesome for people in the past to enter and exit, and besides, this kind of passage must be more than one in the entire labyrinth, if I know the actual size of this labyrinth, I should be able to guess the approximate location of each entrance and exit." ”

Tan Tong pointed to the stone slab below: "Don't talk nonsense, let's move the following piece first." ”

Tan Tong jumped down, took a thin stainless steel ruler out of his pocket, and began to keep going up and down* along the gaps in the stone slabs, trying to find the direction and position of the hinge, and everyone else focused their attention on his hands.

After a long time, Tan Tong's hand holding the ruler finally stopped, felt it, and then took it out, measured the position just now with his hand, and moved it to the other side to continue*, after going back and forth several times, Tan Tong picked up the ruler and said: "Sure enough, there is a hinge, at the upper end of the stone slab, not on the left side, which is different from the ordinary door." ”

The torture technique understood what Tan Tong meant, which meant that if the stone slab was made into a door, then the position of the hinge was not on the left or right, but on the top, and to enter, the stone slab had to be lifted from below.

Tan Tong took out the canvas belt: "They are probably worried that someone can easily open the slate, if the hinge is on the left side, normally speaking, as long as there is an opening, two people can lift it together, but if it is at the upper end, there must be at least four people, and there must be tools, come on, pry open the bottom first." ”

Yan Gang also jumped down, took out the kettle, poured water along the edge, and after penetrating the gaps around the slate with water, he used a dagger to completely remove the gaps, and then two of them used a mountaineering pickaxe to buckle the end of the dead end and pulled it up, while Tan Tong waited for the opportunity to wrap the canvas belt around the slate from the side, and then jumped on the top of the tunnel and used the canvas belt with Samuchuan to completely pull up the slate with the slate.

It took ten minutes for the four of them to completely pull up the stone slab and lift it open, and at the same time, a damp gas erupted from it, and the four of them immediately dodged to the side to avoid being directly sprayed by this moisture, because under the premise of not seeing the sun for hundreds of years, even if the underground river has been flowing, other things are counted in a sealed space, and toxic gases will naturally form.

"You'll have to wait at least half an hour." "We don't have any living creatures to experiment, and once we go down, there is a high chance that we will be smoked by gas, so we have to be cautious and rest and eat something first." ”

At this moment, Samuchuan, who had been staring below, spoke: "I'll go, I have medicine here, and I can also heal." ”

Tan Tong looked at Samuchuan, and then subconsciously looked at the torture technique, the punishment technique did not say anything, Yan Gang just handed over a bottle of water: "Eat something first, and then discuss." ”

Samuchuan took the water and stood there drinking, Yan Gang turned to look at the torture, and both of them noticed that Samuchuan seemed very wrong from the moment he entered the labyrinth, and he was a little depressed.

At the other end of the maze, the helpless He Chenxue sat there, staring at the shadow that appeared in front of him an hour ago, this shadow was none other than Xu You, who was the first to parachute and fall into this maze. He was the first to quietly stare at He Chenxue in the dark, he had been watching in the dark for a long time before slowly coming over, but he didn't say a word, just squatted there, looking directly at He Chenxue's eyes.

And half an hour ago, Yuan Zhenba, who had been lost in the maze for a long time and had been cautiously moving forward to find an exit, accidentally met He Chenxue and Xu You, who had been staring at her, Yuan Zhenba did not step forward when he saw this scene, but hid on the side and quietly observed.

He Chenxue was completely stupid, within an hour, she raised her eyes to look at Xu You countless times, and asked me don't know how many times "what are you going to do" and the like, but Xu You didn't answer at all, just looked at her, and laughed from time to time, as if she was reverie about something, which made He Chenxue even more nervous, because she knew very well that Xu You was not only a monster, but also a madman.

Yuan Zhenba leaned against the stone pillar behind him, secretly observing, he didn't understand why Xu You did this, it should be said that he had always suspected that Xu You was the one who tattooed the weasel.
