Chapter 18: The Cracks
"Your eyes are so beautiful." Xu You finally spoke, and the moment he spoke, He Chenxue trembled in fright, subconsciously shrank towards the position of the crack in the rock, and closed her eyes tightly, as if she was worried that Xu You would gouge out her eyes with her bare hands.
Yuan Zhenba, who was in the rear, looked at it like that, and clearly heard Xu You's words, he thought about it for a while, decided not to go out, and continued to observe there, to see what Xu You would do and what he would say to He Chenxue.
"I knew you were going to get separated." Xu You's tone was very flat, and it was not as weird as usual, like a normal person, "No, strictly speaking, a rupture, because Fan Meng only has himself in his eyes, and the person who completely obeys him is quite reluctant, but a person like Torture is impossible to obey him, and Torture has too many ideas of his own, even if he pretends to be stupid, he is more attractive than him, he will definitely not tolerate it." ”
Xu You looked around as he spoke: "I have investigated you in detail, Fan Meng has always been very good during his school days, but he is very afraid that others will surpass him, in the midterm exam of the third grade of junior high school, he changed from the first place in the original grade to the second place, and the original second became the first, in the face of this kind of thing, what he did was not to study hard to regain the first place, but on the eve of the final exam, he used a trick to make the family fall down the stairs and break his leg, you should remember this incident, right?" You're a school after all. ”
He Chenxue was stunned, and the scene of the year came to mind that day, there was a lot of commotion in the school that day, and many students on the playground ran towards the teaching building, and when He Chenxue and He Yuejia squeezed in, they found that Fan Meng was running outside sweating profusely with another classmate on his back...... Later, Fan Meng was also praised by the school, and the principal awarded two certificates to Fan Meng on the stage in front of the teachers and students of the school when the final examination results were awarded, the first was the first place in the grade, and the second was to help others.
Of course, there were rumors later that the classmate was pushed down by Fan Meng, but this rumor quickly became a rumor, and the rumor was also diluted by time, and no one pursued it anymore, after all, there were no real witnesses at that time, and no one knew what happened at that time.
"The classmate who broke his leg is called Ding Xiaolan." Xu You looked directly at He Chenxue, "I know her, I made friends with her, and I asked her about the past...... You may not know at all that Ding Xiaolan changed schools after breaking her leg and transferred to a more ordinary school, because she suffered a huge injury, the main reason is that she told her parents that she saw that the person who pushed her downstairs was Fan Meng, but Fan Meng's father Fan Jun spent money to solve this matter, and Ding Xiaolan's parents lost a lot of money in business and stock speculation, in order to be better in the future, they accepted the money and sold their daughter's future. ”
He Chenxue shook her head vigorously, expressing disbelief.
Xu You raised his hand and made a "push" gesture towards He Chenxue: "Just such a light push will ruin a person's life, and he is also a woman, Fan Meng is really a shameless and lowly model, I hate this kind of person the most in my life, so, I have always wanted to kill him, but unfortunately, some people think that he is still useful and must stay, so I decided to let him live for a while longer." ”
After speaking, Xu You suddenly approached He Chenxue: "To sum up, I also advise you to stay away from that guy, because he will sell you sooner or later, although he has sold you now, it is because he doesn't know your value at all, if he knows, he will definitely be kind to you." ”
When Xu You said this, Yuan Zhenba was stunned, and he subconsciously analyzed Xu You's sentence "That's because he doesn't know your value at all" in his mind, and he always felt that this sentence should have a special meaning.
After listening to Xu You's words, He Chenxue retorted: "No matter how you slander Fan Meng in front of me, it won't have any effect. ”
"Slander?" Xu You grinned, "I never slander anyone, what I explain is just the facts, you don't believe it now, you will believe it later, seeing is believing, you wait, I'll find the way, don't run around......"
Speaking of this, Xu You subconsciously grabbed a stone and threw it not far away, after the stone landed, the ground there suddenly collapsed, and a deep pit appeared on the ground, and at the same time, the stone pillar next to it also collapsed and smashed directly into the pit - even if someone grabbed the edge at the moment when they were about to fall into the pit, they would be directly killed by the collapsed stone pillar, and this kind of double mechanism can basically be declared dead once stepped on.
Xu You looked at the other end and said coldly: "See, right?" It's going to die. ”
After Xu You finished speaking, he got up to leave, suddenly remembered something, bowed to He Chenxue, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, the warning just now doesn't seem to have much effect, because I forgot that your eyes can't see so far, I'm really sorry!" ”
After speaking, Xu You turned around and left, He Chenxue shrank there, and said in a low voice: "Crazy!" ”
Lunatic! Yuan Zhenba also had those two words in his heart when he saw this scene, but then he immediately decided to follow Xu You, because Xu You seemed to know how to get out of the maze, how to find the law of the maze exit, how did he know?
On the other side of the labyrinth, the collapse of the stone pillar surprised Fan Meng and He Yuejia, He Yuejia struggled to get up, Fan Meng motioned her not to move, she looked up, looked at the smoke and dust raised in the distance because of the collapse of the stone pillar, and whispered: "Maybe someone touched this mechanism." ”
He Yuejia immediately said: "It can't be morning snow, right?" ”
"God knows......" After Fan Meng said this, he realized the impact of this sentence on He Yuejia, and immediately changed his words, "It shouldn't be Chenxue, because she is timid, and timid people are cautious, plus her eyes can't see too far, so she won't run around, she will only wait for rescue in place." ”
He Yuejia looked at Fan Meng and asked, "Actually, you shouldn't be so kind to her, you should know what you are to her." ”
Fan Meng frowned: "Then what are you to me?" If you ask me to be nice to her, isn't that the same as asking me to give her hope? Or do you want me to marry all of your sisters alone? Enjoy the blessings of all people? ”
"Fan Meng, you're going too far." He Yuejia said hatefully, "How can you say that? ”
Fan Meng's tone changed, and he held He Yuejia's hand and said: "What I said is the truth, I don't want you to doubt the relationship between me and her because of this, all I love is you." ”
He Yuejia didn't know what to say, but finally nodded, ending this topic that might never be answered.
At the other end, the torture technique that was already preparing to enter the entrance and exit was still looking at the direction of the collapse of the stone pillar, because this place belonged to the valley basin, there was almost no strong wind blowing, and the reason for the weak air flow was not strong, and the smoke and dust that rose did not disperse for a long time, like a danger signal that had been warning them.
Five minutes ago, Samuchuan had already taken the lead in and after making sure that there was enough air to breathe underneath, he signaled to them, and then Tan Tong also jumped down.
Yan Gang looked at the worried expression on his face and said, "Instead of worrying, it's better to find a way out early and rescue her." ”
Xingshu nodded slightly, and when he was about to go down, Yan Gang grabbed him and said: "I have to remind you of three things now, first, it is not easy for you to completely let go of He Chenxue, but you have to hide the thoughts in your heart first, and wait until you return to Harbin safely, second, you don't necessarily have to be blindly patient with Fan Meng, because only He Yuejia is standing on his side now, and your blind patience is actually equivalent to giving him chronic poison, that is, you are tantamount to wanting him to die; Third, to deal with the weasel, in addition to ourselves, we have to find out the person who was sent by the weasel here, and now it seems that Fan Meng is just being used, and the most suspicious ones are Xu You and Samuchuan. ”
Xingshu looked at Yan Gang: "Do you suspect Samuchuan?" ”
Yan Gang looked at the hole below and said, "Actually, in this case, I shouldn't doubt the comrades in the team, this is the same as on the battlefield, but Samuchuan's performance makes me have to doubt." ”
Xingshu shook his head: "Samuchuan was temporarily found by Tan Tong, and before I looked for Tan Tong, Tan Tong didn't know that I was going." ”
"I know." Yan Gang nodded and said, "But Samuchuan's performance is too unnatural, he must know what is going on here, and human eyes don't lie." ”
Xingshu nodded: "I can only be cautious, other than that, there is no other way, if we take any action, it will eventually be confirmed that our suspicions are wrong, it will lead to cracks in the team, we don't trust Samuchuan, it is equivalent to distrusting Tan Tong, in this way, our team will be finished." ”
Yan Gang nodded, jumped down first, and after jumping down, Yan Gang fell directly in front of Tan Tong, and Tan Tong grabbed him, leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by what you just said to Xingju?" ”
Yan Gang didn't expect that Tan Tong didn't follow Samuchuan to explore the surroundings after jumping down, but stayed there, he originally wanted to stay there to receive the torture technique, but he didn't expect to stay and hear Yan Gang's words.
Yan Gang said calmly: "Cannon King, I didn't mean to target anyone, just to be cautious, you are a smart person, you should also see that something is wrong with him, right?" ”
Tan Tong didn't speak, Yan Gang looked at his cloudy face through the light above: "I'm right, you just think he's the one you brought......"
"Cannon King, Hades!" Xingshu jumped down and grabbed Tan Tong's hand, "Don't be like this, everyone is here to avoid being calculated and to go back alive." ”
Tan Tong let go of Yan Gang, glanced at the depths of the underground river cave, and then said: "The person I chose, I will keep an eye on it, if there is really something wrong, I will be responsible!" ”
Yan Gang nodded, and the torture technique patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, be careful of your step." ”
Tan Tong nodded, and Xingshu and Yan Gang followed, touching forward, and at the same time turned on the shoulder lamp.
After only about five meters of advancement, the three of them saw Samuchuan squatting next to the underground river, Tan Tong took a deep breath, adjusted his state and expression, and stepped forward to pretend to be relaxed and asked, "How is it?" ”
Samuchuan turned his head to look at the others, but asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"What?" The torture technique asked, and he was shocked, and he thought that Samuchuan saw it?
Samuchuan asked, "You don't seem to be happy?" Is something wrong? I heard the sound of something collapsing up there. ”
Tan Tong immediately smiled and said, "The torture technique is worried about that negative woman. ”
Samuchuan nodded slightly, pointing to the underground river in front of him: "There is an underground river, but the depth is different, it is obviously artificially excavated, the original riverbed is very wide, the average height of the cave is two meters, the average distance from the top of the cave to the ground should be about three meters, but it is obviously filled and reinforced by people, that is, maybe many years ago, this underground river was not underground at all, and on the ground, someone built a frame to fill in the upper end of the river, and at the same time raised the ground, an artificial cave was created, in other words, It's all about setting up the traps in this labyrinth and using the water flow here to drive them. ”
Torture stood there, turning his body, looking at this artificial cave, completely unable to imagine how much time it took to create this place thousands of years ago, how many people were sacrificed, and how many materials were used to create all this. In those days, anyone who could think of re-erecting a frame on a river to make a floor would be a genius if he succeeded, and a pathetic madman if he failed.
But the truth is that the person who came up with this idea is definitely a genius among geniuses, and it is a miracle that after thousands of years, this cave has not collapsed, and the water of the underground river is still flowing.
Yan Gang stood with the torture technique and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
"I'm wondering who is the person who came up with this idea and put it into practice. ”
Samuchuan stood up and said, "No matter who it is, I personally think it's great, because it's simply not something that mortals can come up with. ”
After Samuchuan finished speaking, he began to walk along the edge of the riverbed towards the front, and Tan Tong asked behind him, "Muchuan, how big do you think this place is?" ”
"I don't know, I think the maze is as big as it is underneath, but there is no maze underneath, it's like a mechanical equipment room under that kind of electric amusement ride." Samukawa walked cautiously in front, "If you look at the pillars around you, they are all stone forest pillars on the top, and the makers also used these stone pillars as a foundation to build the stone pillars with mechanisms on them. ”
Xing Shu and Yan Gang glanced at each other and walked towards the front, Tan Tong was stunned for a moment, and continued to move forward, now it seems that Samuchuan's suspicion is really big.
Just when the torturers and others were distressed about finding the ghost buried by the weasel, Ma Fei and Jia Feng, who were hiding in the Modern Hotel on Harbin Central Street, also continued to look for the traces of the weasel on the Internet.
Jia Feng sat in front of the computer, on his left was the window, and under the window was the most prosperous pedestrian street in Harbin - Central Street, he didn't expect that one of the hiding places that Ma Fei said would be in this place, the so-called three holes of the cunning rabbit, this should be the last hole, and one hole is better than the other.
At the same time, he also doubted Ma Fei's identity, he couldn't understand how this woman, who was obviously an international famous painting thief, turned into an Interpol again!? What the hell is going on? Therefore, while he is trying to track down the weasel, he is also trying to find Maffei's information from the database of Interpol and other agencies, of course, he uses facial contrast, which is similar to brute force cracking, what is needed is time, a lot of time!
Jia Feng approached the door and looked at the cat's eyes, Ma Fei left half an hour ago, and has not come back yet, although he left a mobile phone and a number, but he has explained that it is not extremely urgent, and he must not call her, otherwise, it may lead to danger.
But Jia Feng didn't know that Ma Fei was now sitting in the next room, and in front of her sat a Russian man dressed as a tourist, the man had been in the room for ten minutes, and within ten minutes, in addition to drinking water and taking medicine, the man was polite with Ma Fei, and did not say anything substantial.
Maffei, on the other hand, searched the room three times with the equipment provided by the man, and then sat down and said, "There are no listening and surveillance devices, Minister Makanov!" ”
The man known as Makanov, whose full name was Yuri. Makanov is the head of the commercial and cybercrime department of the Interpol office in Russia, which is the person sent by the Interpol as Maffei said.
Makanov came to the window, looked outside, smiled and said in Russian: "Central Street is still as busy as before." ”
Maffei looked at Makanov and said, "Minister Makanov, you are so fluent in Chinese, you don't need to deliberately speak Russian, right?" ”
"I am now a tourist from St. Petersburg, Russia." Makanov changed the Chinese and said, "Not Interpol." ”
"The minister's approach, if the Chinese side is not notified, is not procedurally legal. ”
Makanov sat down, sniffed the cup of tea made by Maffei, took a sip, showed a surprised expression, and said with a smile: "Of course I have been informed, but according to the procedures in the emergency plan, only a small number of people on the Chinese side have learned that I am coming." ”
"That's good, I'll not be verbose, and ask straight to the point......," said Maffei, taking out the list with the account number from his satchel and handing it over, "Minister, this account number passed to me from the Commercial and Cybercrime Department of Interpol headquarters in Lyon is a trap. ”
Makanov frowned and took the account: "What do you mean?" What is this account? ”
Maffei was very surprised, so she told the details of the incident as it was, and during the whole process, all she saw from Makanov's face were doubts and surprises, and after she finished speaking, Makanov immediately made a phone call, and did not avoid Maffei, in the conversation between him and the other person on the phone, Maffei could hear that Makanov was verifying and verifying these accounts.
After a long time, Makanov put down the phone and asked, "Maffei, who is the person who gave you this list?" ”
Ma Fei shook his head: "This case is very special, my identity is top secret, for my safety, except for the security mailbox, I can't get in touch with anyone at the headquarters, even if I use the phone in a crisis, I just dial a special phone number, use cipher terms, and I only know that the person who commanded this operation is codenamed 'Fisherman', and my ......"
"Your code name is 'Bait'!" Makanov sat down and sighed, "There is no name for this operation, but the code name is you and mine, and the code name is given by me." ”
Mafei was extremely surprised: "Minister, what do you mean ......?"
Makanov nodded: "I am the 'fisherman', and the person in charge of this transnational undercover mission is me, and in this operation, the only person who can contact you, cooperate with you, know your existence, and know who you are is the only one who I am!" ”
Ma Fei, who was sitting there, subconsciously clenched his fists, and subconsciously raised his vigilance against Makanov - could it be that the person in front of him, who was also a teacher and friend, was the legendary inner ghost?
