When Ma Fei woke up, it was already the next morning, of course, she didn't know the exact time or the exact end of her life, only that she was in a circular cave prison.

Ma Fei got up, patted his head, grabbed the iron railing of the prison, and looked at the circular cave outside, the height of the cave was close to 2 meters, and two prisons were dug up on the left and right sides that were exactly the same as the cave she was in.

Ma Fei shook the iron railing, but the iron railing did not move, she saw the outermost iron door, turned around and picked up a stone on the ground, and threw it at She Caixiang who was lying there in the prison on the left, throwing three or four in a row, She Caixiang rubbed her eyes and got up, and after finding out where she was, she was startled, then turned over and got up, grabbed the railing and scolded.

"Fan Meng! You come out for me! You bastard! She Caixiang grabbed the railing and yelled, completely unaware that it was Ma Fei who was locked up in the prison of the cave opposite, "Dog hair! You're a dog's hair! ”

She Caixiang shouted for a while, but no one responded, only a strange knocking sound from outside the cave, because she shouted too quickly and was too excited, and she was already in the cave where there was no oxygen, She Caixiang's head was dizzy for a while, and she grabbed the railing and slipped to the ground.

Ma Fei leaned against the railing and looked at her: "Shout, keep shouting, the fox's tail is finally exposed?" ”

She Caixiang was taken aback when she heard Ma Fei's voice, raised her eyes to look at Ma Fei opposite, knowing that she was exposed, she couldn't hide it, and she didn't respond, just slowly crawled back into the darkness deep in the cave.

Ma Fei originally wanted to insult She Caixiang, but she endured it, after all, she knew that She Caixiang was not an ordinary person, she wanted to cooperate with Fan Meng, there must be something, plus the previous scolding of She Caixiang, she realized that She Caixiang might just be a chess piece, a victim.

"Hey, why did you know Fan Meng? Do you know who he is? Ma Fei asked, picked up another stone and threw it, smashed it into the darkness of the prison opposite, and landed next to She Caixiang.

She Caixiang looked down at the stone and did not answer.

Ma Fei said again: "Fan Meng can throw you here, it means that your value is basically gone, you better tell me honestly, why did you cooperate with him?" Be honest, maybe I can help you. ”

When She Caixiang heard this, she replied in a low voice: "You can't help." ”

Ma Fei smiled: "If you don't say it, how do you know that I can't help?" ”

She Caixiang hit the iron railing with a stone: "You have been caught here, how can you help me?" ”

Ma Fei turned around and sat down: "Okay, if you don't say it, you won't say it, I won't force you, you can do whatever you like." ”

After a long time, She Caixiang finally moved her body, sat in front of the railing, and looked at Ma Fei opposite: "My fiancé was arrested by them." ”

Ma Fei was stunned for a moment, and also approached the iron railing: "What did you say?" Fiance? Do you have a fiancé? ”

"Yes, his name is Cheng Jian, he is a designer, Chinese-American, we met in Thailand, just when we were about to hold a wedding in Thailand, the people from Cusco Company arrested us and asked me to return to China, to get close to Qian Xiuye, and wait for the right opportunity to re-embark on the line of torture." She Caixiang said in a low voice, "It's been several years since I returned to China, but I go back to Thailand once a year in the name of tourism, report everything I learned with Qian Xiuye to the people over there, and visit my fiancé. ”

When Ma Fei heard this, he got up suddenly: "Since you have a fiancé, what do you mean by deliberately talking about the past about torture?" You're really interesting? ”

She Caixiang looked at Ma Fei's appearance, but she smiled and smiled bitterly: "You really like torture, your previous sentence was completely said with vinegar, I think, under normal circumstances, you would not be so excited." ”

Maffei knew that he was a little out of shape: "I said, whether I like him or not, it doesn't have much to do with you, I just want to know, what exactly do they want you to do?" ”

She Caixiang shook her head: "Actually, I don't know very well, they just said at the beginning that I should find "Nine Sons", but I found that "Nine Sons" was not in Qian Xiuye at all, but they didn't believe it, so let me continue to investigate." ”

Ma Fei pondered for a moment after listening: "It seems that as the previous criminal technique is similar to what Uncle Chen speculated, this bureau Cusco company has already been laid out, and it has been waiting for us to drill." ”

She Caixiang said: "It's not waiting for you to drill, it's waiting for the torture to drill, their goal, I think it's still the torture technique in the end, but as for why, I don't know, but, no matter what, I will find a way to rescue the contractor." ”

"You only have one way." Ma Fei looked at She Caixiang and said, "That's the police!" ”

She Caixiang stood up excitedly: "Impossible, if I call the police, the contractor will die!" ”

Ma Fei frowned and said, "You think he can live if you don't call the police?" And this thing is not right in the first place, don't you still understand? ”

She Caixiang was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically: "Why?" ”

"You're a pig's brain!" Ma Fei scolded, "Where is there a kidnapping of a person and asking another person to do another thing, and there is no time limit?" Besides, the contractor is a Chinese-American, he must have relatives in the United States, if his relatives do not have news of him, or he has not returned to the United States for a long time, his relatives in the United States would have called the police a long time ago, a person has been kidnapped for so long, he will definitely try his best to escape, but he didn't, and the United States did not look for him, why? ”

She Caixiang was stunned, and a thought popped up in her mind, but she didn't dare to say it, because she didn't want to believe that it was true.

"She's right, this matter is so strange, you can hear from your words, you and your fiancé met and loved each other in Thailand, right?" In the other cell, the man in black spoke, and Ma Fei and She Caixiang both heard the voice of an old lady, and they both turned their heads involuntarily to look over.

The old lady approached the railing, revealing her wrinkled face, half-squinting at She Caixiang opposite, and stretched out her hand full of old age spots, waved it gently, and motioned She Caixiang to get close to the railing.

She Caixiang looked at the old lady, then at Ma Fei, and before she could speak, the old lady preemptively said: "Obviously, your fiancé may be from Cusco at all, this is the only explanation, otherwise, this matter would have been a big problem a long time ago, Chinese Americans disappeared in Thailand, even if the US Embassy will not mobilize the public, their relatives will send a missing person notice, right?" Did they send it? ”

She Caixiang shook her head slightly, and Ma Fei nodded: "You understand now, right?" When you meet that contractor, it should be a bureau from the beginning, but I think this is called retribution, how did you deal with the torture back then, and then someone will use the same method against you. ”

She Caixiang sat down, tears welling up in her eyes, although she had doubts before, but every time she saw the contractor, all her doubts disappeared. It was also at this moment that she was suddenly able to understand the heartache and sadness of the torture technique back then.

She Caixiang hugged her legs and cried there, but all that flashed back to her mind was the sweet past she had with the construction in Thailand.

"Alas, don't be too gullible to men, sometimes men's so-called love is just a use of you, ordinary men just use your body, want to play, smarter, just like the one you meet, want more, in a person's life, male and female love is an indispensable link, but most people can't go too well." The old lady sat down against the railing, "It was the same when I was young, I fell in love with a man, but this man didn't want me, and when another man stretched out his arms to me, I needed a home, and I was blinded and threw myself into his arms, and in the end, I became a puppet of my husband and daughter, and I was thrown into this dark place to die. ”

Ma Fei listened carefully to the old lady's words, realized something, and asked, "Old woman, may I ask who you are?" ”

The old lady turned her head to look at Ma Fei: "This place originally belonged to me, everything belongs to me, and I am the master here." ”

Ma Fei was stunned: "You are Tang Sirong!?" ”

The old lady smiled bitterly and said, "Tang Sirong, does anyone still remember this name now?" I almost forgot about it myself. ”

Ma Fei looked at Tang Sirong in astonishment, and was speechless for a long time.

……

In the parking lot of the farmers' market outside Qinglian Town, Mo Duqiao, Lian Jiuqi and Zheng Cangqiong sat in the car, eating the breakfast that Mo Duqiao bought, and listening to a series of news he brought back.

"There were a lot of police, and there was at least one police car at every street corner, and the number of police officers in the car was in one or two groups." Mo Duqiao drank soy milk and looked at the front of the car, "You see, there are two policemen parked outside the farmer's market, and when we came, I was fortunate to take the small road, not directly from the first-class highway toll booth, because there must be policemen guarding there." ”

Zheng Cangqiong looked ahead: "Are you here to find us?" Last night's events must have been discovered. ”

Lian Jiuqi shook his head: "Not necessarily, the Cusco company is very cautious, those people must have been taken away by them last night, even if they are discovered, those people sent must have already prepared another statement, as long as something too big happens, it is estimated that they will not be investigated." ”

Mo Duqiao threw the empty soy milk cup into the plastic bag: "I inquired when I bought breakfast just now, and I heard that there was an accident in the villa of the richest man in the town, there are many theories, some people say that the richest man is dead, some people say that it is haunted inside, but I only saw the police go in, and I didn't see a corpse carried out, so I think something is strange, it's not that simple, maybe it has something to do with torture." ”

Lian Jiuqi immediately asked, "Where is the villa?" What is the name of the richest man? ”

Mo Duqiao said: "On the edge of the town, there is an independent villa, very large, I heard the people who sold the early days, the villa was built like a castle, what is the name of the owner of the villa Liu Baogu, anyway, the people here call him that." ”

Lian Jiuqi fell into deep thought: "Liu Baogu? Did this person make his fortune in the coal mine in Inner Mongolia? ”

Mo Duqiao turned his head to look at Lian Jiuqi: "Yes, the person who sold the breakfast did say that Liu Baogu made a fortune by digging coal, do you know?" ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "I saw such a strange name in the proposal of the Cusco company, saying that he is a potential partner in Chinese mainland. ”

Zheng Cangqiong was puzzled: "What is a potential partner?" ”

"Because the laws of each country have different requirements for treasures and archaeology, so if the Cusco company wants to explore a certain area of a certain country, it will send a group of people to survey in the name of tourism, and at the same time will look for some partners in that area of the country, and if it is a salvage shipwreck, it will cooperate with some small salvage companies in advance, so that they can carry out some useless work around the sea area where the salvage is carried out, as a cover." Lian Jiuqi looked at the farmers outside the car window who came to the market with agricultural products, "If it is in the mountains, it will first find out if there are any mineral specialties here, and then enter it logically in the name of cooperation, five years ago, in order to dig an ancient temple buried by an earthquake in Southeast Asia, the Cusco company used a charitable foundation as a cover, and also contacted the United Nations World Food Programme, in the name of poverty alleviation and disaster relief." ”

Zheng Cangqiong frowned: "According to what you mean, where is Cusco Company eyeing Inner Mongolia?" Want to explore in the name of investing in minerals? ”

"Yes, in fact, they have been in China before, but they are all small actions in private, no big moves, there are many reasons, in the name of minerals, that is only part of the plan, because in 2008, China promulgated the "Measures for the Administration of Foreign-invested Mineral Exploration Enterprises", and it was jointly formulated by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Land and Resources, but it is determined that oil, natural gas and coalbed methane cannot be exploited." Lian Jiuqi said this, looking at the other two, "This is what makes Cusco Company stop, because other mining is relatively more strictly managed, taking gold mines as an example, before 2003, few foreigners invested in gold mines, and most of them came in the name of prospecting, and later developed into a stake in China's local mining enterprises, followed by holdings, and now many large gold mines with reserves of more than 100 tons in China are basically occupied by foreign wild companies." ”

"So, Cusco has been uncertain, and if it enters China in the name of gold exploration, it will not be feasible, because the management is getting stricter and stricter." Lian Jiuqi carefully recalled, "I remember that it was clearly written in that plan that in China, only the American American Continental Coal Co., Ltd. has a coal development license, because it is very difficult for foreign companies to enter into joint ventures with local Chinese companies. ”

Mo Duqiao nodded: "I know this, because the policy and law on this aspect are not clear, there is a lack of clear legal basis for land, labor, and property rights, and the actual operation is very difficult, and there are very serious problems in China's coal transportation, and there is no strong guarantee for the export of coal, and there is one of the most important problems, that is, there is a serious conflict between foreign investment and the cooperation of Chinese local governments, I think, there should be cultural differences." ”

After listening to the words of the two, Zheng Cangqiong pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "I know, the next clue of Qimen points to Inner Mongolia, and this clue may have been discovered by Tang Sirong many years ago, otherwise why would Cusco Company set that plan?" In addition, this Liu Baogu and Cusco Company must have some kind of relationship with Tang Sirong, otherwise, he would not be chosen. ”

Mo Duqiao also analyzed: "It makes sense, Liu Baogu is from Qinglian Town, and Tang Sirong is too, although Qinglian Town, where Tang Sirong is located, is not the same place as this Qinglian Town in Liu Baogu, but there must be some connection, maybe, Liu Baogu had the start-up capital to go to Inner Mongolia to mine, and it was all instructed by Tang Sirong, so that he could go to the front station first in a reasonable and legal way?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong said: "It should be like this, but I always feel that there are any key clues in the series of things that happened in the "Nine Sons" and everything that happened later, plus the boss behind the gang Cusco company. ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "It's useless for us to sit here and analyze with the only clues, I suggest that we go our separate ways and find out the news about Liu Baogu in the town, as well as what happened in that villa." ”

Mo Dusk opened the door: "You two act together, call us." ”

After speaking, Mo Duqiao left, and Lian Jiuqi looked at his figure leaving alone, and said, "Master, you are a friend who has forgotten your year, and you don't fit very well?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong shook his head and said: "He is a strange person, and the stories on his body can be written into countless books." ”

Lian Jiuqi sorted out his appearance in the rearview mirror: "Who is he?" ”

"Weirdos." Zheng Cangqiong said solemnly, "I don't know how many families he has and how much money he has." ”

Lian Jiuqi asked, "Then how did you meet?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong said: "He is the same as the torture technique, he is a child who grew up in a psychiatric hospital, but he is different from the torture technique, he is really sick, but he is very sick." ”

Lian Jiuqi was puzzled: "Is it normal to be sick?" What do you mean? ”

"In psychiatric hospitals, whether they are doctors, nurses or patients, there are generally only two kinds of people, those who can hide and those who can't." Zheng Cangqiong looked at Lian Jiuqi and said, "You and I, including the torture technique, and even the father of the torture technique, we are all the kind of people who can cover up, and those patients are just some people who can't hide and don't know how to hide it." ”

Lian Jiuqi smiled and said, "Interesting, Master, what do you mean, in fact, everyone is mentally ill, what about this Modui Bridge?" Will it be disguised or will it not be disguised? ”

Zheng Cangqiong smiled: "He is a person in between, genius and idiot are only one step away, when he is engrossed in something, he is a genius, when he has nothing to do, he is an idiot at all, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Lian Jiuqi thought about it, shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't understand, it's better not to think about it, as long as you believe him, then it's okay, let's go." ”

When Lian Jiuqi and Zheng Cangqiong got out of the car, they happened to see a police car whizzing past the highway outside, followed by a van police car.

Lian Jiuqi said: "Let's go, go directly to the villa." ”
