Chapter 11: Countdown
When Xingshu and Ma Fei had arrived in Beijing and Chen Taidong was about to leave for Beijing, Fu Mingwei and Wu Zhinan also received an anonymous envelope, which contained only a folded A4 piece of paper with a line of words written in italics - "Locker No. 008 of North Railway Station".
In addition to this, the envelope contained a key to a locker.
An hour later, not long after it was opened, the North Railway Station, which was not yet a large passenger flow, was surrounded by police, and Fu Mingwei personally took the key to open the designated locker.
After the cabinet was opened, Fu Mingwei saw that there was a trolley box in it, and just as he was about to take it out, Wu Zhinan held his hand and said in a low voice: "Let the bomb disposal team come." β
Fu Mingwei shook his head: "It can't be a bomb." β
Wu Zhinan said: "This is a work procedure, if you are hard and known by the above, you will be criticized again." β
"If you are criticized, you will be criticized." Fu Mingwei grabbed the handle of the trolley case, "Anyway, I'm used to it." β
As he spoke, Fu Mingwei glanced around: "Tell them all to exit the hall and wait outside." β
Wu Zhinan had no choice but to pick up the walkie-talkie and say, "All exit the hall, quickly!" β
The surrounding police immediately slowly withdrew, while Wu Zhinan left a special police blast shield and stood on one side.
Fu Mingwei looked at Wu Zhinan who was holding the shield and smiled: "What are you doing?" You don't really think there's a bomb in there, do you? We are the Antiquities Investigation Department, not the Criminal Police Department, nor the Anti-Terrorism Department. β
Wu Zhinan looked nervous: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, who knows." β
Fu Mingwei took out the box, carefully placed it flat on the ground, and then slowly unzipped it, and then slowly opened it, and after opening it, the two people in front of the box were stunned, because the box was densely packed with photos and A4 paper with dense fonts printed on it, and they were all bound.
Fu Mingwei knocked on Wu Zhinan's shield with his hand: "Put it away, it's a false alarm, I said it can't be a bomb." β
Wu Zhinan squatted in front of the box, picked up a stack of A4 papers, looked through it for a while, and then said: "Interesting, all of them are the things we need, some information in this industry." β
Fu Mingwei also took another stack and looked at it seriously: "There are still many unknown things, but I just don't know whether it's true or not." β
As he was talking, Wu Zhinan found that the words "Jiuzi related" were printed on the cover of the stack of materials below, and immediately picked it up and handed it to Fu Mingwei: "Look at this." β
Fu Mingwei put down the stack in his hand, took it and opened it, and wondered, "Who gave it to us?" It doesn't look like it's fake, it's very detailed, even the current addresses and phone numbers of these people are there, you see, the information about Wan Qingquan written here is exactly the same as what we investigated, and some of them are still unknown to us, especially Wan Qingquan's previous history. β
Wu Zhinan got up and stretched: "Anyway, this is also a harvest, let's take it back and read it slowly, now we have to write a report again." β
Fu Mingwei nodded, at the moment when he put the information back into the trolley box, the phone rang at the bottom of the trolley box, and the two were stunned at the same time, Fu Mingwei reached in and took out a small mobile phone from between the two stacks of data, and a name appeared on the caller ID of the mobile phone that surprised them - Lian Jiuqi.
Fu Mingwei took the phone, signaled Wu Zhinan not to speak, and then picked it up, after picking it up, he didn't speak, just listened quietly.
The entire train station hall was so quiet that even the heartbeat of the two of them could be heard.
"Officer Fu, hello, I'm Lian Jiuqi, I think, your name should not be unfamiliar, but you don't know who I am and what I do, don't worry, I'll answer these questions for you now." Lian Jiuqi's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "First of all, I still ask you not to misunderstand, I am not a criminal in your eyes, at least not at this moment, I give you these information, you want to know very much, at the same time, I also want to report to you, although logically speaking, I should find a nearby police station, but I think that since there is a cultural relics investigation department, and my affairs are related to this business, I still think that it is most appropriate to report to you." β
Fu Mingwei held the phone, there was always a feeling that Lian Jiuqi was around, he looked around, and asked, "Lian Jiuqi, what do you want to do?" β
Wu Zhinan had already pulled out his pistol, clenched his hands tightly, put his index finger on the side of the trigger, and followed the rhythm of his heartbeat to observe it four times.
Lian Jiuqi smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I don't want to do anything, and I didn't expect that when you received my anonymous letter, you would send so many people to come." β
As soon as Lian Jiuqi's words came out, Fu Mingwei immediately knew that he must be nearby, and he could clearly see the situation here.
"Don't look, you can't find me, I'm not around, I just have one eye here." Lian Jiuqi's tone was extremely relaxed, "Somewhere in the train station hall, I installed a high-definition camera, relying on public IFI to transmit signals, the signal is very stable, I can see that your eyes are full of bloodshots, Officer Fu, you really should have a good rest." β
Because of the loud sound of the telephone receiver, Wu Zhinan could clearly hear what Lian Jiuqi was saying, so he immediately walked out with a gun, pointed at several special police officers waiting at the door, and made a gesture to expand the scope of the blockade and search.
At the same time, Lian Jiuqi said on the phone: "Don't look for it, you can't find it for a while, the passenger flow here is so large, and another train will enter the station half an hour later, you can't afford the loss caused by so many passengers so delayed time, so you'd better drag your suitcase, hold the phone, walk out slowly, cancel the blockade, sit in the car, listen to me, and when I finish speaking, I will naturally tell you where the camera is." β
Fu Mingwei closed the suitcase, walked out with the phone, and at the same time shook his head slightly at Wu Zhinan at the door, asking him to lift the blockade.
Wu Zhinan shook his head and made a "very dangerous" gesture, Fu Mingwei covered the phone and said to him: "Lian Jiuqi doesn't want to harm people, cancel the blockade." β
Helpless, Wu Zhinan had to give an order according to Fu Mingwei's instructions.
Fu Mingwei returned to the car, looked through the window at the colleagues who were leaving one after another, and also watched the constantly complaining passengers flock into the station, ran towards the waiting hall, and asked into the phone: "What do you want to do?" β
Lian Jiuqi said: "I'm here to report the case, a murder case decades ago, now, I say, listen, I won't repeat it a second time, as for the murderer's information, it is also in the box, that is, the stack of information that says 'Jiuzi related', that's right, it was the nine of them who killed the murderer, and the victim was me." β
Fu Mingwei frowned: "Ridiculous, you are still the victim, why do you still call me, do you want to tell me, you are a ghost?" β
Lian Jiuqi laughed twice: "Don't interrupt me, listen to me." β
In the next half hour, Lian Jiuqi explained how he was buried alive by Jiuzi back then, but did not say how he escaped, after speaking, Lian Jiuqi said again: "This is the case, word for word, this is the truth, you can ask your adviser Chen Taidong to ask the truth, of course, he will not dare to tell you that he killed people back then." β
Fu Mingwei glanced at Wu Zhinan, who was sitting next to him, and motioned to Wu Zhinan to find a way to check the source of the phone and locate it, but Wu Zhinan shook his head and was very embarrassed.
Fu Mingwei asked, "And then, what do you want to achieve?" β
Lian Jiuqi said: "Purpose? The people's police are for the people, I am the people, I was buried alive by them, they have committed crimes, you should arrest them for investigation and trial, the walls that should be shot, and the prisons that should be locked up, do you still need me to teach you? β
Fu Mingwei said coldly: "It's impossible to just say it with your mouth, right?" Now, you should tell me where the camera is. β
Lian Jiuqi smiled on the other end of the phone: "The camera is in your hand." β
Fu Mingwei was stunned for a moment, took the phone away, looked at the camera on the phone, and almost dropped the phone: "You are playing us?" β
Lian Jiuqi said: "It's just a joke, now that the joke is over, please listen to the next words clearly - I will give you 6 hours first, within 6 hours, you must arrest one of the nine sons, if you can't do it, then I will do it, but I advise you to use legal means to arrest, don't let me do it, because once I do it, then there is no need for trial, and I will be executed on the spot." β
Fu Mingwei said sharply: "Lian Jiuqi, you give me ......"
Lian Jiuqi directly interrupted Fu Mingwei's words: "Officer Fu, you still have 5 hours and 58 minutes!" You have two choices, either arrest one of the nine sons, or arrest me, and when the time passes, I will reset the time, and so on, until the nine sons are arrested or all of them are dead, you better set the alarm clock, goodbye! β
After hanging up the phone, Fu Mingwei immediately said: "Go to the airport immediately and stop Chen Taidong." β
Wu Zhinan glanced at the time: "It's too late, the plane has already taken off." β
"Contact the capital, as long as Chen Taidong gets off the plane, stop him immediately." Fu Mingwei pinched his mobile phone and said, "No matter what, you have to ask Chen Taidong first, what is going on with Lian Jiuqi!" β
At this time, Chen Taidong finally fell asleep on the plane to Beijing, although he thought about it all night and didn't understand what he had missed in the winter of 1979, after all, burying Jiuqi alive and cleaning up the portal was something he didn't want to remember in his life, because it was something he thought was an absolute mistake, but he had to do it.
This is one of the main reasons why Chen Taidong later became independent, he didn't want to have that kind of extremely unreasonable alliance with other colleagues, because that would lead to more and more wrong things he did.
Sometimes, certain traditions are a sin in their own right.
When he opened his eyes to look at the bed, he found that the bed had been made, but Ma Fei was nowhere to be seen, and then looked at the bathroom, his toothbrush had been squeezed with toothpaste, and there was a cup of cold boiled water on the table next to the TV, and a note was pressed next to it.
The note reads - The habit of drinking coffee in the morning is very bad, let's drink it cold, I went out for a run.
After the torture was washed, just when he picked up the cup of cold white and opened, the door opened, and Ma Fei, who was holding the room card, stood at the door, wiping his sweat with the towel he carried with him, and said at the same time: "Good morning." β
Xingshu drank the water in one gulp: "Good morning." β
Maffei turned around and walked into the bathroom, entered the bathroom of the cubicle, took off her clothes and closed the curtain to take a shower - she seemed to have completely forgotten that the other side of the bathroom was a glass wall, and even though the curtain had been closed, she could still clearly see the silhouette of the people in the bathroom because of the light.
Standing with his back to the glass wall, he began to do simple warm-up movements, and then began to do simple fitness, exercising in the morning and evening, which was also one of his habits for many years.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and when he was about to open it, he saw his quilt and pillow on the ground, and immediately rolled them up and threw them into the cabinet, and then went to open the door.
After opening the door, sure enough, it was none other than She Caixiang standing outside the door.
Xingshu looked at She Caixiang and didn't say anything, while She Caixiang subconsciously glanced at the closed bathroom door next to her, and asked bluntly: "This Ma Fei is not your fiancΓ©e, right?" β
Torture said: "Miss She, it seems that this has nothing to do with you, right?" β
She Caixiang shook her head slightly: "She's not your fiancΓ©e, absolutely not!" β
As she spoke, She Caixiang bit her lip, and there were tears in her eyes.
Xingshu smiled: "Still playing this trick?" It's useless. β
She Caixiang looked directly into the eyes of the torture technique: "You forced me to leave in the first place, and I didn't hide anything from you, I told you all the details of that incident, including my unbearable past." β
So did you have a relationship with that boss at all? After listening to She Caixiang's words, this thought flashed in his mind for the first time, but he swallowed back the words in his mouth, he knew that he was almost a little bit, and he was led away by her nose again.
I have to stay calm, Xingshu thought so, he also looked directly at She Caixiang and said: "Those are all things in the past, what I am curious about now is that you have set your eyes on my Uncle Qian, it seems that you have been by his side for several years, what are you going to do this time?" Are you ready to be honest with me again? β
She Caixiang took a deep breath, and when she was about to speak, the door of the bathroom opened, and Ma Fei, who had changed her clothes, stood there, wiping her hair with a towel, and looked at She Caixiang at the door with disdain: "There is no breakfast at the express hotel, right?" β
She Caixiang immediately changed her expression and replied: "Yes, but it's not very good, Master asked me to invite the two of you to the store to eat, it's ready, I'll wait for the two of you downstairs, see you later." β
She Caixiang said and turned to leave, Ma Fei looked at the back of She Caixiang, who had changed her outfit today, changed into jeans, and was wearing a jacket, and asked about the torture: "I heard it just now, and you were almost dragged back to the original point many years ago by her." β
Torture Shushu closed the door: "Yes, I need to figure out what she's here to do, what her purpose is, and then ......"
"Stop!" Ma Fei looked at the torture technique and said, "Our purpose is to continue to search along the clues, to find the things that Xing Renju left in the Southwest Tie Tang family in front of the Cusco Company, and at the same time to avoid or deal with the people sent by the Cusco Company, as for Lian Jiuqi, as for the Nine Sons, as for this She Caixiang, it is not the focus of our next move, you must be clear about this." β
Xingshu said: "I know, but, I have never believed in coincidence, think about it, the purpose of Lian Jiuqi's appearance is very simple, that is, to take revenge on Jiuzi, how could it be so coincidental that Wan Qingquan died?" How could it be so coincidental that She Caixiang was by Uncle Qian's side? Also, why did my master leave Harbin suddenly, he hasn't left Harbin for decades, what does he want to do? Where is he? β
Ma Fei approached the torture technique and said word by word: "The more complicated things are, the simpler they are, don't forget, this is what you once said, you still haven't returned to the way you used to be, I'm more and more worried about the next move, by the way, I want to ask you, in addition to planning the route, do you have a clear plan?" β
Xingshu sat down: "No, the plan is not as good as changing, you should also know this, killing Chen biting Jin halfway will happen at any time, no, at the beginning, he killed a Lian Jiuqi, and now he has run out of She Caixiang." β
Ma Fei put on his coat and threw the coat of torture over as well: "Get dressed, go to dinner." β
After the two went downstairs, they followed She Caixiang all the way to the "Longde Treasure House", who knew that as soon as they walked to the door, they saw a group of people surrounded in front of the shop.
Torture immediately stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Hei, what's the matter?" What about Uncle Qian? β
Xiao Hei pointed to the north and said, "I was put in the car by a few people...... Let's go. β
"Car?" Xingshu subconsciously glanced at the direction Xiao Hei was pointing, "What model of car, license plate number, how many people?" β
Xiao Hei said weakly: "Three...... Three, plus there should be four people driving, is a black Mercedes. β
The torture technique pressed Xiao Hei's hand: "Call the police, call an ambulance!" β
As he spoke, he turned around and chased after the crowd, and when he rushed out of the crowd, he saw She Caixiang, who had a puzzled face, standing on the periphery with a phone, not knowing who he was calling.
Torture turned to Ma Fei who came out with him and said, "You stare at her!" Don't let her run! β
After the torture was finished, he ran wildly, then stopped, and rode directly on a bicycle next to him and chased after it.
Just after the torture left, Ma Fei went straight to She Caixiang's side, She Caixiang put down the phone, looked at Ma Fei and said: "I won't run, I know that even if you are not the fiancΓ©e of the torture technique, you are also his trusted friend, because he will not let a person he trusts sleep with him." β
Ma Fei heard She Caixiang say this, but smiled: "You are very smart, your previous words were to test me, because you think that if I am really her fiancΓ©e, then when I hear what you said, I will naturally think of what happened to you back then and be angry, on the other hand, if I am not, then of course it will be better for you, because you can repeat the old trick, and then use the same trick used in the torture technique this morning to press the torture step by step." β
She Caixiang shook her head, and as soon as she said the word "you", she received a resounding slap from Ma Fei in the face.
After this slap, Ma Fei directly dragged She Caixiang into the pawnshop, completely ignoring the eyes of the people around him.
After walking into the pawnshop, Ma Fei pushed She Caixiang to the corner: "The slap just now was made by me for the past torture, isn't it a very feminine approach?" If you're a man and your hand is already broken, listen, I don't care who you are or what you're going to do, you can't stop me and the torture technique from doing anything next, and besides, you'd better tell me now, didn't you call those people who took Uncle Qian? β
She Caixiang shook her head slightly, Ma Fei stepped forward and grabbed her collar and pulled her forward, who knew this drag, She Caixiang kicked the wall with one foot, pushed with both hands, and then forced, with the help of the momentum, Ma Fei was pushed directly to the opposite wall, and then swept towards Ma Fei's face with a raised leg.
While Ma Fei raised his hand to block it, he felt a tingling pain in his wrist, and when he looked sideways, he found that She Caixiang's sole actually had thin nails.
She Caixiang saw Ma Fei blocking it, and immediately retracted her legs, and as soon as she landed after closing her legs, it was another roundabout kick, Ma Fei dodged and dodged, and She Caixiang's leg kicked firmly on the decorative wall made of wood next to her, and directly kicked out of a hole.
Seeing the hole, Ma Fei took a deep breath and said, "I didn't tell me that you have such good skills. β
She Caixiang folded her legs and stood up: "There are still many things he didn't tell you." β
With that, She Caixiang turned around and ran towards the house, and Ma Fei immediately chased after her.
