At the same time as Xingshu and Tian Lianfeng rushed towards the tube building, the danger in the tube building had quietly descended......

In the old pigeon loft on the top floor, there was a charcoal fire, and next to the charcoal fire was a small maza, on which sat a man wearing a charcoal black mask with only facial features, and on the side of the man sat another man with the same mask who was much burlier than him, constantly playing with the jade cigarette holder in his hand, and outside the pigeon loft, a man taller than both of them, carrying an iron rod on his back was standing on the edge of the roof, his eyes were staring at the door below, and the black mask was always carried in his hand.

The man who was playing with the cigarette holder smelled the smell of roasted sausages in the charcoal fire, and said in a low voice, "Kuiye, it's burnt." ”

"I only eat the little bit of meat in the middle, just to burn it, so that the crispy meat in the middle can be soft." The man known as Kui Ye spoke, plucked the sausage with a wooden stick, looked at the man next to him and said, "Ten baskets, it's cold, you go out for your eldest brother, let him come in and roast the fire, don't freeze." ”

The man didn't get up, pretended not to hear, and still sat there playing with the cigarette holder, and simply rolled up the cigarette.

Kui Ye picked up a piece of flame with a wooden stick and threw it directly into his arms, and at the same time said sharply: "Guo Shiji, no matter what Bai Zhongzheng says, he is a member of our Guo family!" It's your big brother too! Be respectful to him! ”

Guo Shizheng got up and deliberately said loudly: "Your name is Guo Hongkui, my name is Guo Shiji, his name is Bai Zhongzheng, our two surnames are Guo, his surname is Bai, not a surname, how can it be a family!" He is reluctant to follow our surname Guo, this is his own choice! ”

Outside the pigeon loft, Bai Zhongzheng, who was standing on the edge, turned his head slightly, pretended not to hear, and continued to look at the door downstairs.

"It doesn't matter what his surname is, since he entered the door of Guo's house and put on a 'corpse face', he is the Guo family, it's as simple as that, now, either you go out for him, or you go home for me." Guo Hongkui said coldly, his eyes still on the burnt sausage.

Guo Shiji's throat made a strange sound like a beast, pushed open the door of the shed, strode out, and walked straight to Bai Zhongzheng: "Kui Ye asked you to go in to roast the fire, if you don't go in, I have to get out!" ”

Bai Zhongzheng didn't say a word, turned around and walked in, didn't sit down, just squatted in front of the brazier, roasting his hands that were red from the cold.

"It's minus fifteen degrees Celsius outside, and it's more than minus twenty degrees Celsius tonight, and you don't even wear a pair of gloves, so if it goes on like this, in less than half an hour, your hands will be useless." Guo Hongkui didn't look up at Bai Zhongzheng, but just touched his hand with a stick, and then pointed to the wooden box where Guo Shizheng was sitting before, "Sitting, squatting is easy to lose blood." ”

Bai Zhongzheng finally spoke, his voice sounded very calm, without any emotion: "That's ten hoops to sit, I can't sit, I will cause trouble if I sit, I didn't mean to say this, I'm just worried about causing trouble, unnecessary trouble, if you can avoid it, avoid it." ”

Guo Hongkui got up and stepped on the box with one foot: "Then don't sit." ”

Guo Shiqi outside listened to the sound of the box breaking, scolded in a low voice, and when he turned back, he saw that the car of torture had stopped at the gate, and immediately rushed into the pigeon coop and said, "That kid is here!" ”

"Is it the kid with the surname Xing?" Guo Hongkui raised his eyes and said.

"It's his car, it's two people, it should be the one who was with him last time." Guo Shiqi took off his mask, and his handsome face reflected the light of the charcoal fire, but it looked so weird, "Kui Ye, I don't think there's any trouble, I can kill it directly." ”

Guo Hongkui shook his head: "Shiji, let me ask you, what does our Guo family do?" ”

"Guardian of Qimen!" Guo Shiqi replied nonchalantly.

Guo Hongkui raised his eyes and looked at Bai Zhongzheng: "Zhongzheng, what do you say?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng looked at the charcoal fire and said: "Protect the secrets of Qimen and don't let anyone approach, because the things in Qimen don't belong to anyone, only to Qimen." ”

Guo Hongkui nodded: "Yes, so, let's not kill this at every turn, kill that, although this kid surnamed Xing is a cargo chaser, he has a good reputation, and the cargo chaser is also a person, and if he is a person, he is a good person, as far as we know now, he is a good person, right?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng nodded, and Guo Shizheng rolled his eyes: "If that kid in the torture technique continues to look for it, maybe he will find the clue, why don't you let me destroy the clue?" ”

"Childish." Guo Hongkui raised his eyes and said, "Isn't that equivalent to three hundred taels of silver in this place?" Originally, no one knew where there was something, once you destroyed it, even if it was restored, it couldn't become the way it was earlier, fools know that there is something there, and by following this clue, they may be able to find the Guo family. ”

Guo Shiji sneered disdainfully: "Can he have that ability?" ”

"He's a chaser, do you know what the biggest skill of a chaser is? That's tracking and tracing, they can find even inanimate objects, not to mention that we are still living people. After Gong Hongkui finished speaking, he finally began to pick up the sausage, directly held the hot sausage with his calloused hands, peeled off the outer and middle layers of burnt flesh with a knife, dug out the crispy bones, put them in his mouth and chewed, swallowed the first bite before leaning back, "You guys go, remember, just stare at it, don't act rashly, even if he finds the clue, it is impossible to find Qimen directly." ”

"Yes!" Bai Zhongzheng got up, but Guo Shizheng blocked the door, and it took a long time to take a deep breath, and let go with a dissatisfied expression, and then the two quietly went downstairs, guarding the position at the top of the stairs, quietly listening to the movement below.

The torture technique stood in the position where Tian Yunhao was tied up after his death, staring at the wall behind him, Tian Lianfeng stood on one side, shining a flashlight on the back from time to time, for fear that something would come out there.

Xingshu raised his hand and pointed to the wall directly opposite him, that is, at the end of the corridor, and to the right of the wall was the toilet, when Tian Yunhao's body was hung up, it was against this wall.

"Lian Feng, except for this floor, this position on all the floors below is a window, only the top floor is a wall, we have ignored this matter, and the previous police have also ignored it, this is unreasonable, it is not reasonable in architecture." Torture stared at the wall and stretched out his hand, "Give me the tools." ”

Tian Lianfeng handed the hammer in the bag to the torture technique, and said at the same time, "You mean someone sealed this window?" ”

"Yes." Xingshu nodded, "I've seen the photos of the scene, and when Tian Yunhao died, it became a wall, so there must be a problem here." ”

The torture technique then began to quietly collide with the wall with a hammer, listening to the sound inside, and striking it one by one, but found that there was no empty sound, so he turned to Tian Lianfeng and said, "Give me the chisel and the trumpet hammer, and I'll try it from the edge." ”

Tian Lianfeng immediately handed over the tools and looked at the torture technique intently, not noticing that Bai Zhongzheng and Guo Shiqi had quietly walked down the stairs at this time, and were standing in the darkness at the end of the other end of the corridor behind the two of them.

The torture technique was tried one by one, and then he found that there was a hard object inside the original window frame, and just when he was about to go down and gently chisel it open to take a closer look, he suddenly felt a feeling of pressure coming from his back, and he subconsciously looked back at the other end of the corridor: "It seems that there is someone." ”

Tian Lianfeng immediately shone a flashlight, and when he shone it, he didn't find anyone.

"Maybe I'm too careful." The torture technique turned around and continued to chisel the wall, Tian Lianfeng simply took out another flashlight, put it on the ground, and shone it on the back, which would make him feel better.

In the room at the end of the corridor in the back, Guo Shiqi watched Tian Lianfeng's actions through the crack in the door, couldn't help laughing, and said in a low voice: "Stupid people have stupid methods, but stupid methods sometimes really work, and this traps the two of us to death." ”

After Guo Shiji finished speaking, when he turned around, he found that Bai Zhongzheng was gone, but the window was open.

Guo Shizheng scolded, looked out of the window, and found that Bai Zhongzheng climbed along the window of one house and towards the family closest to the toilet, and his skills were very flexible.

Guo Shiji shook his head disdainfully, but when he climbed onto the windowsill to prepare to imitate Bai Zhongzheng, as soon as he looked down at his feet, his legs were a little weak, and he immediately slowly retreated.

"Sure enough, there was something." After chiseling for a while, he chiseled the thick layer of ash on the surface of the wall and the cement underneath, and then touched the thing inside and said, "It's a bit like a window frame, but the texture is very strange, like wood, like metal, by the way, it's iron sandalwood!" ”

"Iron sandalwood?" Tian Lianfeng looked at it closely, "This kind of thing is very common, it is useful for building or making furniture, and I have a table at home that is made of iron sandalwood." ”

"Not necessarily, this is soaked in potion, you touch the surface, as if there are particles, dense, but regular, the ancients hid the treasure of the special box, is made of iron sandalwood soaked in potion, I have received one before, can only put down a small jar so big box, judging from the pattern in it is the Eastern Han Dynasty, you calculate how many years, dug out from the ground, has not rotted, after the surface and the soil in the particles are brushed clean, it looks the same as new." "The box can withstand heavy blows and high-intensity squeezing, and I tried to smash it with a hammer, but it didn't break it, but it cracked my mouth. ”

After nearly an hour of busyness, the torture technique finally chiseled out the frame of the iron sandalwood, and then he took a few steps back and looked at the frame of the iron sandalwood that resembled the window frame.

Tian Lianfeng also looked at it, and then said, "This is the window frame, right?" ”

"No, this is a frame, a frame used for calligraphy and painting, but very few people use iron sandalwood, because it is too hard, it is not good for the calligraphy and painting itself, unless it is a copper engraving of modern technology, iron sandalwood will be used." Xingshu looked at the middle part of the frame and said, "I still have to remove the middle part of the wall ash and cement, but this is a meticulous job, even if I am fast, I will have to be busy until the second half of the night tomorrow, Lianfeng, you go buy some coffee and other drinks, I will wait for you." ”

Tian Lianfeng left extremely reluctantly, and rushed back after about ten minutes, he directly bought a bag in the small supermarket, filled dozens of cans of coffee in the bag and carried it back.

Xingshu drank two cans and began to work, more than an hour passed, and when he came back, Tian Lianfeng, who had been sleeping regularly, was already lying on the floor at the door of the toilet and falling asleep.

Torture shook his head, and at this moment he felt a cold wind blowing in, and he immediately realized that someone had opened the window of a certain room, so he stood there and said loudly: "I don't know which road buddy is guarding me next to me, Torture Shu thank you first, thank you for not sneaking up on me when I was working, if this wall I am digging now has something to do with you, you show up and make it clear to me, if not, then I will continue." ”

After the torture was finished, he waited for a long time, and found that no one answered, so he simply turned around and continued to chisel.

In the room at the end of the other end of the corridor, Bai Zhongzheng, who had just returned and was closing the window, subconsciously remained still when he heard the torture technique speak, and only after the torture technique was finished did he turn around and look at Guo Shizheng who was standing at the door.

Guo Shizhen used sign language to draw and told Bai Zhongzheng: "This kid is very smart and knows that we are here." ”

Bai Zhongzheng also responded with sign language: "Kui Ye said, don't act rashly, just observe." ”

Guo Shizheng nodded, and simply leaned against the door to close his eyes and recuperate, while Bai Zhongzheng listened to the wall with his ears, felt every vibration of the wall of the torture technique, and whispered to himself: "The hands are very light, the heart is very heavy, and the balance between the palms is very good. ”

Guo Shiji opened his eyes and glanced at Bai Zhongzheng, but did not speak, but sneered.

Time passed minute by minute, after a few hours, the torture finally gently chiseled all the cement in the frame, after the chiseling, what appeared in front of him was a painting 1.3 meters high and 0.9 meters wide, the frame of the painting was made of iron sandalwood, and the surface of the painting had a layer of stone baffle that was as transparent as glass, but harder than glass and had higher transparency, and the torture did not know whether it was jade or crystal, because he had never seen it.

And the so-called painting under the baffle has only one flower, a fiery red Manzhu Sawa Hua, which is commonly known as the flower of the other side, and next to the flower, two lines of poetry are written, the last sentence is "Take off the bronze armor, as vast as possible, cross the horse gun to pick the sunset blue silk", and the next sentence is "Come to the white clothes, write a song of tears, and write a light book and ten thousand horses rushing".

"This is not an ancient ......painting," the torture technique said to himself, and then prepared to take the painting down, but when he touched the painting, he felt that the whole painting was unusually heavy, not to mention a hundred catties, and on the wall, if he chiseled the back of the painting, a person would hold such a big thing, I am afraid it would be very difficult, and if it was damaged, it would be miserable, so he had to sit down and wait for Tian Lianfeng, the pig, to sleep until he woke up naturally, and at the same time drank coffee one by one, and was vigilant that the other batch in the tube building refused to show up, And a mysterious person of unknown origin.

While the torture was resting, he deliberately turned off the flashlight that Tian Lianfeng turned on, and then deliberately turned around to look at the painting, in fact, it was to deliberately let the two of them go, which can be regarded as a kind of rule: you can't do things too desperately, if the other party jumps off the wall in a hurry, it will be bad for you.

Bai Zhongzheng and Guo Shizheng took the opportunity to leave the room, returned to the pigeon loft on the roof, and told Guo Hongkui everything they had seen before.

After Guo Hongkui listened, he was happy and said, "This kid surnamed Xing is a bit interesting. ”

Guo Shiqi yawned and said: "Kui Ye, I didn't expect that there was a painting in the wall, earlier we deduced that Tian Yunhao's body was placed like that, it was a mark, marking that there was something in the wall behind, but we didn't guess what it would be." ”

Bai Zhongzheng was silent, just listened quietly.

Guo Hongkui nodded and said, "I didn't expect it to be a painting, why is it a painting?" What is the connection between this painting and Qimen? How can you hide the secret of Qimen in a painting? ”

Guo Shizheng glanced at the silent Bai Zhongzheng, and said: "Kui Ye, just ask Zhong Zheng to snatch that painting, with Zhong Zheng's skills, this is a trivial matter, right?" ”

"No way!" Guo Hongkui immediately vetoed, "We can't rob anything that doesn't belong to us, and it's not sure if it's really related to Qimen, in society, it's a crime; is selfish, contrary to the rules left by the ancestors. ”

"Ancestor, ancestor, everything is ancestor, you just call the ancestor to do this!" Guo Shiqi turned around and muttered.

Guo Hongkui didn't hear it, and thought for a while and said, "Zhong Zheng, I and Shi Gong will go back first, you stay here, follow the torture technique, and see what he will do next." ”

"Yes, Kuiye." Bai Zhongzheng nodded, turned around and went downstairs.

Guo Hongkui leaned over and buried the charcoal fire with soil, walked to the side of the tube building, and after running, he rushed directly from there to the high-rise building under construction next to it, and after landing, Guo Hongkui turned around and waved to Guo Shiji, signaling him to jump over.

Guo Shikui's skills are not flexible, but this distance is not difficult for him, after running, he jumped over to this side, just the moment he landed, he raised his eyes and saw Guo Hongkui rushing directly over, pushing him downstairs, Guo Shiqi screamed miserably, and fell backwards, but at the moment when he was about to fall, Guo Hongkui grabbed it firmly.

Guo Shiqi looked sideways at his feet, if he fell from this height, he would be a heavy cripple if he didn't die, and he was surprised at the moment when he was pushed down by Guo Hongkui before, and he didn't know why Kui Ye did this.

Guo Hongkui, who was squatting on the edge, looked coldly at Guo Shiji, who he was holding with one hand, and then said word by word: "Shiji, you heard clearly, don't disobey your ancestors, don't commit crimes, don't have evil thoughts, remember?" ”

Guo Shizhen nodded again and again, so frightened that he couldn't say a word.

"Repeat it to me." Guo Hongkui said coldly, and after listening to Guo Shiqi repeating it, he dragged it up, and then hugged Guo Shiji, who was still trembling, and said, "Shiji, I treat you like my own son, you must not let me down, if you let me down, I can only kill you with my own hands, because the Guo family can't produce waste!" ”

Guo Shiji, who was hugged tightly by Guo Hongkui, stared at the darkness in the distance with wide eyes, and said blankly: "Yes, Kui Ye, I know, Shiji knows." ”

Guo Hongkui smiled, then sighed again, and slapped Guo Shikui's back heavily, those slaps made Guo Shigui feel like Guo Hongkui wanted to slap himself to death.
