Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Other Side of Sin
Fu Mingwei stood there, looking up at the alley in the distance, not knowing what he was looking at.
Xingshu picked up the phone and dialed out, and then asked, "Officer Fu, where are you?" ”
While Fu Mingwei picked up the phone, he still looked ahead, not realizing that the torture technique had gone behind him, and lied: "I'm in Changsha, what about you?" Where are you? ”
The torture technique that had already come behind Fu Mingwei put down the phone and said, "I'm behind you!" ”
Hearing the sound of torture, Fu Mingwei was stunned, turned around suddenly, and immediately put on a smiling face when he saw the torture.
His smile was from the heart, and now he had no clue, and he was looking forward to the sudden appearance of the torture technique, because the appearance of the torture technique in his eyes was like a divine soldier descending from heaven.
Fu Mingwei smiled, and the torture technique asked expressionlessly, "Brother Xu is also here, right?" ”
Fu Mingwei nodded and asked rhetorically, "Torture, what are you doing here?" ”
"I said it, rules are rules, since you have found Wu Zhihai, it means that you also know that there are some things that will not work according to your previous way of doing things, so since you know how to be flexible, then be flexible." Xingshu looked around and said, "The current Detam Miao Village is in danger, in addition to me, there are several other teams of people here, you have to be careful." ”
Fu Mingwei said: "Although it is not big, there are only more than 80 households, but there is a lot of daily flow of tourists, and if something happens, no one can afford to pay the responsibility." ”
Xingshu glanced up at the dwarf bridge hidden in the fog above his head, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, even if there is something, they will not do it publicly, if you really want to investigate, you can just kill the Xu brothers." ”
Fu Mingwei frowned: "Now I have the biggest problem, on the premise that I can't get actual evidence, the number of people who can support is limited, if the Xu brothers are in trouble, the superiors can send special police and the nearest armed police force to support, but they don't make trouble, just hang out, then my task is only to track, and there are only three people, me, Dong Guozhi and Wu Zhihai, I am in a dilemma." ”
The torture technique still said: "Don't worry, they won't make trouble here, even if there is something, it will be in the mountains, but there are some things, you police can't manage at that time, and it's not easy to manage, in short, even if you follow them, don't do anything impulsively, once you enter the mountain, you can only be at the mercy of others." ”
Fu Mingwei stepped forward: "Why don't you tell me, why do you want to go into the mountain!" ”
Xingshu just shook his head: "I really want to tell you, but the rules are the rules, what I promised, I can't go back, I still say the same thing, after the matter is over, if I really break the law, I will be detained, and I will be in prison when I should be in prison, and I will be in prison after my words, goodbye!" ”
The torture technique turned around and left, Fu Mingwei stood there, at this time Dong Guozhi and Wu Zhihai walked over, seeing the torture, the two walked over quickly, Wu Zhihai made a gesture to chase the torture, Fu Mingwei stopped him and said: "Forget it, don't force him, it's useless, I know him." ”
Wu Zhihai shook his head: "Except for him, we have no way to find other helpers." ”
Fu Mingwei said: "I can only choose to believe him, have the Xu brothers found it?" ”
Dong Guozhi shook his head: "No, as soon as we entered this village, these four people dispersed, we were originally staring at Xu Sheng, but Xu Sheng disappeared after turning a corner, just like the world evaporated." ”
Fu Mingwei sighed and said: "In the early years, it was said that there were many secret passages in Miao Village, and now it seems to be true, but the torture said that they wanted to enter the mountain, and they also advised me not to follow into the mountain, even if they found the Xu brothers, do not enter the mountain." ”
"Why?" Dong Guozhi frowned, "Where is the reason why hunters don't chase their prey when they find it!" ”
Wu Zhihai said: "I think what he means is that if we enter the mountain, our identities with the Xu brothers will be changed, they will become hunters, and we will become prey." ”
Dong Guoyu pondered for a moment: "No, we are police, not the army, and our area of expertise is in the city, not the forest." ”
Dong Guozhi asked: "Team Fu, what do you mean?" ”
"Request for support." After Fu Mingwei finished speaking, he frowned again, "But without proper reasons and evidence, the superiors will not approve it." ”
In a tulou in Miao Village, Xu You, the last to arrive, walked in breathlessly, nodded to the old man sitting at the door smoking hookah, entered the house, then climbed the stairs, passed through the corridor, climbed the bamboo ladder to the top floor, and then walked down the independent staircase on the other side of the top floor, and came to the dark stone house behind.
The moment he walked in, Xu Dao was the first to appear in front of him, and asked in a deep voice, "Third brother, have you gotten rid of the police?" ”
Xu You gasped and nodded, took off his glasses again, and wiped them with the corners of his clothes: "It's hard to get rid of it." ”
Xu Dao smiled: "The police follow the eldest brother, the second brother follows the police, I am staring from a distance, but I can't see you." ”
Xu You glanced at Xu Sheng and Xu Cai, who were sitting in the house, eating canned food and drinking water, and saw that they didn't talk to each other, and also knew that the two of them supported Xu Dao's suspicions this time, so he explained: "There is also a policeman, it should be their leader, he stared at me, I thought of a lot of ways to get rid of him, I don't believe you go to see." ”
Xu Dao turned to look at Xu Cai, Xu Cai nodded: "There are three policemen." ”
Xu Dao let Xu You in, and then sat on the side, pulled out a dagger to peel a piece of carrot and ate it slowly, his eyes stayed on Xu You.
Xu Sheng handed over the can in his hand: "Hungry, right?" Xu Cai also took a bottle of mineral water.
Xu You stood there, didn't reach out to pick it up, didn't speak, just looked at the place between the two.
Xu Sheng and Xu Cai glanced at each other, but Xu Dao showed a cold smile.
Xu Cai got up and handed the mineral water to Xu You's hand: "Don't be careful, we are also cautious." ”
Xu Sheng grabbed Xu You's arm and dragged him to sit down: "We are brothers, and we don't want any rift between brothers." ”
Xu You sat down and said lightly: "Yes, we are brothers." As he spoke, Xu You showed a smile that looked a little cute.
Xu Sheng also smiled, Xu Dao put away his smile and continued to eat carrots, only Xu Cai squinted at Xu You, and felt that there was something indescribable in his smile, as if he was possessed by something, and he was no longer the third child before.
"Okay, now it's time to talk about what we need to do, let's set off tonight, and after nightfall, we will go from the back mountain into the mountain, and meet each other at the bottom of Jijiao Ridge." Xu Sheng swept around the house, "Our equipment is ready, just in the cowshed behind the house, each person has a backpack, take their own when they go, go separately, and then meet in the back mountain, understand?" No one should leave here until then. ”
Except for Xu You, neither Xu Cai nor Xu Dao nodded, Xu You knew that before he came back, Xu Sheng had already explained the matter.
Then Xu Cai stretched out his hand: "There is a walkie-talkie with adjusted frequency in the backpack, and there is a satellite phone, which is in the eldest brother's, so I can't use the mobile phone, and there will be no signal after entering the mountain, hand it over." ”
The other three took out their mobile phones, and when Xu You took them out, he deliberately touched out all the things on his body, and poured out all the things in the satchel on his body, he did this, but he didn't want others to doubt him anymore.
Although Xu Cai didn't say anything, his eyes quickly swept over all the things he took out, then took the phone away, and then helped Xu You put the things back, although it seemed to be helping, in fact, he personally checked whether those objects had done anything with his hands.
After loading the things back, Xu You asked while eating: "Big brother, let me ask more, who are we helping now?" Who's controlling us? ”
Xu Sheng said: "It's Heyumen!" ”
Xu Youyou was surprised: "He...... Heyumen? ”
In the Hunan territory, there is no one who does this business who does not know Heyumen, and no one does not know that you can't offend Heyumen, you can find a way to cooperate with Heyumen, but you must not go against Heyumen, because against Heyumen, the lightest end is that you can no longer get involved in this industry in your life, and you will be framed, at least you will be fined and detained, or at worst, you will be in prison and spend all your time in prison for the rest of your life.
Xu Cai looked at Xu You and said: "So, we can only ask for more blessings this time, if we had known that it was them, I would definitely suggest that we run away and go to Southeast Asia, anyway, the money we have now is enough to live comfortably over there." ”
Xu You got up and said, "No, what about the one who helped us before?" ”
"The one who has our evidence at hand is the little young master Sheng Zitai of Heyumen, and the one who helped us is the eldest young master Sheng Yutang, I have inquired, it seems that two people are fighting for the next door master and fighting inwardly, and the four of us are the cannon fodder of their two brothers' infighting, I don't want to be cannon fodder, so, after thinking about it, I decided to cooperate with Sheng Yutang, at least he has a better chance of becoming the next door master." After Xu Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Xu Caidao, "Actually, I am a bit arbitrary this time, because your second brother thinks that Sheng Zitai should be a little more reasonable, after all, he is a person with a high degree of education, but I have always been willing to deal with the old man, not some scholars who hide knives in their smiles." ”
When he said this, Xu Sheng subconsciously looked at Xu You, Xu You knew that he had something to say, so he just nodded, lowered his head and ate the canned food, but his stomach was churning, and he had the urge to vomit.
At this time, next to the open space of the creek under the Chicken Foot Ridge, the jackals in camouflage uniforms, wearing sunhats and sunglasses were patrolling the surroundings, and Mu Tianjian was squatting on the trees in the distance, and in the tent under the trees sat Sheng Yutang and Yuan Zhenba, Sheng Yutang was looking at the map given to him by Yuan Zhenba, they did not enter the village, but parked the car far away from the village, bypassed the village and came directly from the back mountain to the Jijiao Ridge, he didn't want to be too ostentatious, let too many people grasp his whereabouts.
"Regardless of whether the news given by Fan Meng is true or not, we have to let the Xu brothers step on it first tonight." Sheng Yutang pointed to the map and said, "The ghost knows how to enter that cave, and whether there will be other ghosts at the entrance of the cave and inside." ”
Yuan Zhenba nodded: "Actually, I knew about this cave in my early years, but I didn't expect it to lead to the Jiacuo Palace, and I still have reservations now, I don't think it's very reliable." ”
"Why?" Sheng Yutang raised his eyes to look at Yuan Zhenba, who was sitting opposite, this cunning cargo chaser had always believed that if the source of the news could not be determined and its authenticity could not be grasped, then the possibility of being a trap was extremely high.
Yuan Zhenba looked at the map and said: "The terrain of Xiangxi has always been complicated, the Japanese did not dare to fight in depth, during several battles to defend Changsha, although the Japanese put forward the combat theory of small units against small units, using a group of three or a group of five people into the mountains to deal with the anti-Japanese forces in the mountains, but the losses were very serious, especially those Miao people, they did not use firearms, but laid traps, and used some cold weapons that the Japanese had never seen, so that they could not move an inch. At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese detoured to the border of Xiangxi, and sent their so-called elite troops in the mountains, modeled on the German army, a total of 110 people, including 12 guides, three days later, only 25 people were left out of 110 people, and most of the 12 guides died, and at the same time, they also found that half of the guides were spies and deliberately led them in, and since then, the Japanese have never set foot in the deep mountains of Xiangxi. ”
Sheng Yutang crossed his arms and asked, "Isn't this a question about the cow and the horse?" ”
Yuan Zhenba shook his head: "Eldest prince, what I want to say is that Xiangxi is a very beautiful place, but behind the most beautiful things there are often the most dangerous things. ”
Sheng Yutang said coldly: "Zhenba, are you trying to make me retreat?" ”
"Nope." Yuan Zhenba shook his head, "Eldest Prince, what is the purpose of you going to find the Jiacuo Palace?" ”
Sheng Yutang lit a cigarette and said, "I want to be the next door master." ”
Yuan Zhenba asked again: "Did the old man say it himself, whoever finds the Jiacuo Palace, who is the next master?" ”
"That's not true, you know, my dad has always liked to hint, unwilling to speak, he likes people who can understand, if he really lets him make one thing clear, this matter is equivalent to canceling or not validating." Sheng Yutang said, sighing, "If I weren't Sheng Feng's son, I guess I wouldn't have so much trouble." ”
Yuan Zhenba put away the map: "That's right, under the premise that the old man didn't say it explicitly, this matter may not be used as the next master's credentials." ”
Sheng Yutang frowned: "What do you want to say?" ”
"Everyone knows that Sheng Feng, the master of Heyumen, has two sons, you and Sheng Zitai, everyone knows that the next master is chosen between the two of you, and everyone knows that if Sheng Feng has only one son, then his only son is the future master." Yuan Zhenba said word for word, and then looked at Sheng Yutang's eyes, "You understand what I mean?" ”
Sheng Yutang nodded slightly: "You mean to ...... Sheng Zitai" As he spoke, Sheng Yutang raised his hand and scratched his neck.
Yuan Zhenba nodded silently.
Sheng Yutang immediately denied his approach: "No, I can't do this, if it gets out, I won't be able to wash it clean in my life, and the police will stare at me for the rest of my life until I find relevant evidence to convict me, besides, if my father knows about this matter, not only will I not be the owner, I estimate that he will sweep me away!" ”
Yuan Zhenba shook his head: "Many people say that those who do big things are not informal. ”
"It's not a small section, and I hate to admit it, but he's always been my brother! And I have the same father! Sheng Yutang said and flicked the cigarette ash desperately, and the cigarette butt fell down, Sheng Yutang immediately slapped it with his hand, looking a little flustered.
Yuan Zhenba looked at Sheng Yutang's appearance and said: "Eldest prince, if you can't do it, let's come, Tianjian and Jackal only need a word from you, no, as long as you nod, you can simply complete this matter, and it can be an accident, in the deep mountains and old forests, the old man will not know, if someone asks, he will say that he is missing, and we will do a clean job with the Duan brothers around him!" ”
Sheng Yutang didn't even think about it, and kept shaking his head: "No, absolutely not!" ”
"Eldest prince, are you afraid?" Yuan Zhenba looked directly at Sheng Yutang, "The future door master shouldn't be afraid. ”
Sheng Yutang was on fire, got up and said, "I'm not afraid of him!" ”
Yuan Zhenba looked up at him: "I'm not saying that you are afraid of Sheng Zitai, but that you are afraid of things, you are afraid of accidents, you are afraid of accidents, you are afraid of accidents, you are afraid that someone will come to the door because of this in the future, but you have to know, how many such things will the master of Heyumen face in his life?" Have you forgotten that your father drowned that miscellaneous piece in front of your eyes for fear that you would be used by the medicine head? That man's death has nothing to do with you, your father carried this name for you, and you may encounter this kind of thing in the future, what will you do then? ”
Sheng Yutang stared at Yuan Zhenba, his eyes were trembling slightly, and after a long time, he finally sat down: "The future will be talked about in the future, right now, I don't want to hurt my brother, okay, don't say it anymore, act according to the original plan, that's it, I'll sleep for a while." ”
Sheng Yutang said and lay down, with his back to Yuan Zhenba, Yuan Zhenba got up, bent down and walked out of the tent, glanced at the jackals patrolling around, and then raised his eyes to see Mu Tianjian who was staring into the distance from the tree and did not bow his head.
Yuan Zhenba then slowly walked to the stream, picked up the stream and washed his face, looking at the little crabs crawling in the stream, it is almost spring, everything is repeated, everything in the deep mountains in front of him will be active, and the danger caused by man and the hidden crisis in nature will soon be integrated.
Yuan Zhenba sighed, turned his head to look at the tent, and wondered if he had chosen the wrong person.
But Yuan Zhenba didn't know that a few minutes ago, when he looked away from Mu Tianjian on the tree, Mu Tianjian looked at his back with a suspicious look, watched him go to the stream, watched him wash his face, and watched him in a daze. Immediately afterwards, Mu Tianjian looked at the tent again, and looked at Sheng Yutang who was lying there with a sad face from the open skylight at the top of the tent.
The jackal, on the other hand, went to the other side of the stream and sat down, and felt his machete and sharpened it slowly, and the sound of sharpening the knife could be heard throughout the mountain stream, but it sounded like a wild beast rubbing its teeth on the stones.
The four men who were laying the trap had no idea that they had just laid another trap in someone else's trap, like a hunter who was concentrating on laying a trap and was unaware of the beast standing behind him.
