On the way back to the Express Hotel, Chen Fang asked, "Team Fu, you deliberately let Dong Guozhi beat you, right?" ”

Fu Mingwei said: "Yes." ”

Chen Fang asked again: "Then you should know, what are the consequences of his punch?" No matter what he says, he is also your old subordinate. ”

"It's because he's my old subordinate that I deliberately provoke him." Fu Mingwei stopped and looked at Chen Fang, "Dong Guowei is very smart and energetic, but like a child who has just started school, there is a big problem, that is, he can't concentrate on the things he should concentrate on, and he lacks experience. This time, I transferred him here, in the final analysis, in fact, I also think that he is suitable to stay by my side, so that he can take this opportunity to accumulate experience and find a chance to come back to me again, but unfortunately he only thinks that this is a good opportunity for him to show his strength. ”

Chen Fang nodded: "But, is your way wrong?" ”

Fu Mingwei said: "If you want to solve the case quickly, it is impossible to rely on one person alone, for so many years, the cases I have solved are not the credit of me alone, even if outsiders are not clear, they will admire you, and even flattery, you must clear yourself, so I deliberately provoked him and asked him to quit as soon as possible, otherwise his consequences will be worse than now." ”

Chen Fang pondered there for a long time, nodded and said, "Team Fu, I can understand. ”

Fu Mingwei smiled: "Can you really understand? ”

Chen Fangdao: "Really, it's not a secret, I have experienced something similar to Dong Guo's title, but I was not as good as him in some aspects back then." ”

Fu Mingwei raised his feet and continued to walk forward, looking completely uninterested in this matter, which made Chen Fang very puzzled, and chased after him and asked, "Team Fu, don't you want to know what is going on?" ”

Fu Mingwei said as he walked, "I'll know sooner or later." ”

Chen Fang smiled: "Maybe, I won't talk about it next time." ”

"Impossible." Fu Mingwei looked at him, "Do you really think that the higher authorities transferred you here just to let you assist in the work during my time in Beijing?" Its intention is the same as the title of Dong Guo, the superiors attach great importance to the Department of Cultural Relics Detective, you are all rare talents, this is just a boiler, and I am just a boiler. ”

Chen Fang couldn't help but laugh when he heard Fu Mingwei's analogy, and then his expression sank, and he said seriously: "Report, I used to be an undercover agent. ”

Fu Mingwei was a little surprised: "I guessed seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, but I didn't expect you to be an undercover agent." ”

"Border Armed Police, Anti-Narcotics Brigade." Chen Fang lowered his voice, "In the first year of the recruit, he was transferred to go undercover, and he stayed for five years, the case was solved the year before last, and I was also injured and recuperated in Beijing, and then I was arranged to study in the SWAT team for half a year, and then I was transferred to the police station to be on standby, and I didn't receive an order to assist you until yesterday." ”

Fu Mingwei nodded: "I know what it's like to be an undercover agent." ”

"Don't be upset." Chen Fang's expression darkened, "You don't know what it's like to be undercover in a drug dealer, in fact, my so-called injury in Beijing is to recuperate, and its main purpose is to get rid of drugs, because if you want to climb up in that circle step by step, you must first be a horse boy, and there, when you are a horse boy, there are almost no people who don't take drugs." ”

Fu Mingwei sighed: "Understand, I can only say understand, however, your observation is very keen and sensitive, this is a good thing, sometimes to do our job, you need to temporarily let go of your identity as a policeman, but at the same time, you must always remember that you are a policeman, let's go, go back to the hotel, I estimate that there will be other orders from above soon." ”

Just when the two of them returned to the door of the express hotel, they met Lian Jiuqi and Zheng Cangqiong head-on, but because Fu Mingwei didn't know what Lian Jiuqi looked like, he didn't realize who the person in front of him was. Although he had seen Zheng Cangqiong's photo on the information provided by Lian Jiuqi and in his own investigation, because he was not familiar with it, that face was still a little blurry in his mind, so the four of them passed by calmly.

Lian Jiuqi and Zheng Cangqiong stood at the door of the hotel and waited for less than ten seconds, a black car drove up and stopped, and then Lian Jiuqi opened the door for Zheng Cangqiong, and the two got in the car and left.

In the hotel, Fu Mingwei, who was waiting at the elevator entrance, suddenly remembered something, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the door.

Chen Fang asked, "Team Fu, do you know those two people just now?" ”

"I don't know." Fu Mingwei shook his head, "It's just that there is one of them, I feel a little familiar, but I can't remember who it is, I've read too much information recently, and I haven't completely digested it for a while." ”

Chen Fang raised his hand to look at his watch: "I'm going to chase it now, and I can still keep up." ”

Fu Mingwei pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, our attention now should be on Qian Xiuye's kidnapping case, find him first." ”

The elevator door opened, and the two walked into the elevator, and after the door closed, Chen Fang asked, "That torture, will he come back?" ”

Fu Mingwei said: "Yes, because Ma Fei is still here, he will not leave his companion alone, and he is a human person, if I let him go, he will definitely return this favor." ”

When the elevator door opened again, Chen Fang smiled and said, "Team Fu, I don't think your actions are like the police." ”

Fu Mingwei looked at him: "What? Feel like it's against the principles of work? ”

"Nope." Chen Fang shook his head, "We are not a conventional department, and we should not use conventional methods to investigate cases." ”

Fu Mingwei walked out of the elevator: "That's why the above transferred you." ”

……

The moving sedan stopped at a certain intersection, and the driver then got out of the car and left, Lian Jiuqi sat in the driver's seat, looked at Zheng Cangqiong in the rearview mirror and asked, "Master, are you really sure you want to do this?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong said calmly: "I was wrong once decades ago, I don't want to be wrong again, if I hide this time, more people will die because of that accident, I am willing to be your hostage, hoping that in exchange for you to stop killing." ”

Lian Jiuqi was a little puzzled: "Killing? Yes, I may have been so mad that I burned Wan Qingquan's body, but I didn't kill him. ”

Zheng Cangqiong's face changed suddenly: "What did you say?" You didn't kill Wan Qingquan? ”

"I don't even do nine chess, as long as I do it, I will admit it." Lian Jiuqi said coldly, "I just want to use this way to force out the real mastermind of the year." ”

Zheng Cangqiong shook his head and said, "It's not you, who could it be?" ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "Maybe it's the mastermind, at least one or two of the nine of you framed me back then, but I don't know who it is." However, now I want to ask more, were you scared when you decided to kill me? ”

When Zheng Cangqiong heard the word "kill", he was shocked, pinched the shoulder strap of the backpack in his hand, and did not answer.

Lian Jiuqi asked again: "Let me ask another way, after you knocked me out and buried me alive, do you regret it?" ”

Zheng Cangqiong said lightly: "I regret it, I regret it very much." ”

Lian Jiuqi looked at Zheng Cangqiong's face in the rearview mirror, which seemed to be dozens of years older in an instant: "Why?" Is it because you feel sorry for me as a disciple, or do you realize that you don't do things with your brains and don't think about it? ”

Zheng Cangqiong closed his eyes: "Both." ”

Lian Jiuqi smiled: "I like this answer." ”

As he spoke, Lian Jiuqi stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.

……

In the old warehouse, listening to the criminal techniques narrated by Qian Xiuye and Chen Taidong, I can roughly figure out what happened back then - in the mid-seventies of the last century, at the suggestion of Qian Xiuye, the most famous and powerful nine cargo divisions in nine regions of the country gathered in Harbin and compiled the book that recorded the locations and coordinates of nine ancient ruins, as well as the details, which was named "Nine Sons".

The relics of these nine branches in various parts of the land of China are the places where these nine cargo chasers were the first to find and were not set foot in by others, because there are too many secrets involved in these nine places to dare not be easily disclosed.

As Qian Xiuye said, the original intention of compiling "Nine Sons" was actually just because it was an affirmation of their careers, and at the same time, they also wanted to leave something for future generations, but they were not sure when it should be made public, so at the same time as compiling, a special interpretation method was designed, which is equivalent to a password.

For the sake of fairness, this special set of interpretations was deliberately dismantled and divided into nine parts, with each of the nine sons holding a part.

After the compilation of "Nine Sons" was completed, they also made a fake one, deliberately confusing others in the world, in order to make others retreat from difficulties, and at the same time to have a purpose of "showing off their self-achievement", but because of this strange and weird relationship of vanity, many people inside and outside the industry are eyeing this "Nine Sons".

It is impossible for the nine chasers to get together for the rest of their lives to protect the "Nine Sons", so it has become a question of who the book is finally placed in, after all, no one will believe anyone at that time, but they are worried that someone will use their own wisdom to interpret the "Nine Sons", so they finally chose to let Lian Jiuqi protect the "Nine Sons", and according to the agreement, let Lian Jiuqi worship the nine people as teachers, and no one taught Lian Jiuqi a so-called stunt.

When recalling this, Qian Xiuye sighed and said: "This is what I think is the most terrifying point of Lian Jiuqi, it can be said that he is a combination of the strengths of all families, and he was originally Zheng Cangqiong's apprentice, he is talented and smart, has a good foundation, and learns things quickly, just half a year, he has basically mastered the unique skills taught to him by the other eight cargo chasers." ”

Torture asked, "What did you teach him?" ”

"He has a very good knowledge of porcelain, so I taught him about the methods of cracking some evil arts over the years, in layman's terms, that is, I gave him some methods to break feudal superstitions back then, so it is still not clear, how to say it?" Qian Xiuye thought with half-squinted eyes, "To put it mildly, it is the so-called 'mind reading', 'physiognomy' and the like, in the final analysis, it is related to psychology, but it is all my own accumulated experience, he learned it very quickly, it only took a month." ”

Xingshu nodded, did not show surprise on his face, and asked Chen Taidong again: "Uncle Chen, what about you?" ”

Chen Taidong shook his head: "I am a halfway debut, there are very few things that can teach him, I came out of Shaolin Temple, and learned some carpenter work, so I gave him a copy of the "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra" that I copied back then, people's life karma is heavy, practice is not easy, since it is impossible to become a Buddha, at least to avoid self-willingness, then reading more "Dizang Sutra" is the best choice, so that you can eliminate karma, do more good deeds, and accumulate public virtue. ”

Torture asked, "That's all?" ”

"No, I also taught him some carpentry work, as well as the half-hung Luban technique." When Chen Taidong said this, he smiled bitterly, "A half-hanger is a half-hanger, just some knowledge accumulated in folk customs, but even so, he still learns very seriously." ”

Qian Xiuye said at this time: "What Ma Guiyuan taught him was medical skills, but the funny thing is that Ma Guiyuan eventually died of illness, this is the so-called doctor does not treat himself, and Ma Guiyuan died of his brain, resisted Western medicine, and killed himself." ”

Torture nodded: "What about the others, what have they taught?" ”

Chen Taidong said: "What Wan Qingquan taught him was the 'Earth Binding Technique', which is just a nice name, but it is actually equivalent to the art of Feng Shui, in other words, after all, Feng Shui Kanyu will involve the Yin House, and the biggest taboo of the chaser is to touch the dead." Foshan Que Ye Suxin taught him the art of stealing, because Ye Suxin was originally born with three hands, and Ye Suxin's husband Kaishan Leopard Cai Nayun taught Lianjiu Chess to be Hong Boxing. ”

At this time, Xingshu recalled that when he fought with Lian Jiuqi in the hotel corridor, he did use Hong Fist, but only a few moves.

"Xiao Qinglian Tang Sirong taught Lian Jiuqi alchemy." Qian Xiuye recalled, "This alchemy, part of it is the same as medical skills, but more is the knowledge of chemistry, as for how Lian Jiuqi learned, I don't know very well, and there is the Great Wall of Copper Wu Zi'an, he taught the introduction to hard qigong, which is commonly known as the iron cloth shirt, because this kind of kung fu takes time, so Lian Jiuqi only learned a little bit at that time." ”

The torture technique recorded while listening: "Sure enough, it is the head of the family, but what a coincidence, since I was a child, the way my master trained me is really the same as the way you taught Lian Jiuqi in the first place." ”

The unintentional words of the criminal technique based on the analysis of the facts made Qian Xiuye and Chen Taidong nervous, and the two of them cautiously and secretly glanced at each other, both knowing what the other party was thinking, they were all worried, if the criminal technique knew that he was Lian Jiuqi's biological son, what would happen? If these two fathers and sons join forces, let alone the nine sons, even the hundred sons will be easily taken down by the two of them.

However, Qian Xiuye and Chen Taidong also thought of a more important question because of the sentence of torture, that is, why did Zheng Cangqiong use the method of training Lian Jiuqi to train torture, could it be that he speculated that Lian Jiuqi was not dead, so he deliberately trained torture to deal with Lian Jiuqi in the future?

At this moment, Xing Shu also raised his head, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Two senior uncles, you said that my master trained me like that, is it because he realized something?" It is speculated that Lian Jiuqi is not dead? ”

After speaking, Xingshu shook his head again: "No, it can't be, he hasn't been back to the place where the incident happened, so there shouldn't be any speculation, maybe he did that, one of them was just out of guilt?" ”

Qian Xiuye and Chen Taidong didn't answer, they didn't know how to answer at all, and they didn't dare to speculate more about this matter, they just wanted to quickly divert the topic, so as not to detect something by the torture technique.

Just as he was about to look at the record again, his phone rang, it was a text message from Ma Fei, and there was only a very short sentence - the police withdrew.

Xingshu immediately told Qian Xiuye and Chen Taidong the news, but both of them just shook their heads, saying that they should not take it lightly.

Just when the torturers couldn't figure out what the police were trying to do, the phone rang again.

The torture technique was picked up, but I didn't expect it to be Fu Mingwei calling: "My people have withdrawn, you should have received the news." ”

Torture asked calmly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Strange thing." Fu Mingwei's tone was also full of doubts, "Lian Jiuqi called and said that he canceled everything he said before, that is, his threat was suspended, but our pursuit will not be suspended, I want to know why." ”

"I can't answer you, and I don't know why. ”

Fu Mingwei said: "Criminal art, let's follow the old method, let's solve this matter together through mutual trade-offs and exchanges?" ”

"At least for the current situation, it's impossible. ”

Fu Mingwei was silent for a while, and then asked, "Then you have to tell me, is Qian Xiuye safe?" ”

"I don't know." Xingshu looked at Qian Xiuye with the phone, "I didn't find my Uncle Qian." ”

Fu Mingwei was silent for a while and said, "Okay, that's it, goodbye." ”

"Goodbye." Xingshu hung up the phone, looked at Qian Xiuye and said, "Uncle Qian, you should be able to go back, Uncle Chen, you can also go back to the police to continue to be a consultant, they don't have any actual evidence to prove that Uncle Qian is directing and acting on his own, and I also need Uncle Chen to help me drag them down on the police side." ”

Chen Taidong was silent for a long time: "No, I can't go back, Fu Mingwei will try his best to dig out what he wants to know from me, he is not an ordinary policeman, criminal art, what do you want to do next?" ”

"Reactive becomes proactive." Xingshu looked at the record book in front of him, "This time I came to Beijing, because of the matter of Lian Jiuqi, I was forced to become passive, and now Lian Jiuqi suddenly canceled the previous plan, I think it should have something to do with Qimen, Fan Meng has been missing for a long time with clues, and now he must be in Sichuan, maybe, everything Lian Jiuqi is doing now is to buy him time." ”

Qian Xiuye frowned: "So, this is a sound attack?" ”

Chen Taidong said: "Now it seems that it is very likely to be the case, maybe his fundamental target is in Qimen." ”

"Two senior uncles, there is a coincidence here that none of us expected. ”

Qian Xiuye immediately asked, "What coincidence?" ”

"Little Qinglian Tang Sirong." Xingshu pointed to the name he wrote down in the notebook, "She's a descendant of the Southwest Tietang family, right?" Although according to my inquiry, the rumor only said that she knew where the descendants of the Tang family of Southwest Iron were, but in fact I speculated that she should be the descendant of the Tang family. ”

Chen Taidong looked at Qian Xiuye: "We are really not sure about this, but Tang Sirong is indeed very mysterious, and she doesn't talk much on weekdays." ”

"The clue left by Xing Renju is to point to the Tang family of the Southwest Railway, my original plan was to go to Guangdong to find Cai Nayun and then go to Sichuan, but now I have to change my plan." The torture technique closed the book in his hand, "So, if this is not a coincidence, then Tang Sirong is very likely to have a direct relationship with the theft of the "Nine Sons" back then. ”

Chen Taidong and Qian Xiuye glanced at each other, and said again: "So, I must go to Sichuan immediately." ”

Chen Taidong said after a brief analysis: "Since the alarm on the police side has been lifted, I will simply accompany you, if I am with you, Tang Sirong should not embarrass you." ”

"Okay, without further ado." Torture got up, "Let's go to the airport right away." ”
