Chapter 37: Causes
The torture technique confronted the man standing at the bottom of the tower, and the torture technique guessed that the person's identity must be related to the casting jade, but who could he be? After thinking for a long time, when the eyes of torture were fixed on He Chenxue, he suddenly thought of the diary of the former Russian nobleman Nikolai, the person named Xuan Ding mentioned in the diary, according to He Chenxue, he was the leader of the Jade Casting Society back then.
"Xuanding?" The torture blurted out, and immediately shook his head after speaking, no, it's not Xuan Ding, in Nikolai's diary, Xuan Ding's age is already very old, and although the person in front of him can't see his age, judging from the tone of his voice, he is only in his fifties.
The person in front of him finally spoke: "Xuan Ding is my grandfather, my name is Xuan Tong, the thirty-fifth generation of the first worker of the Jade Casting Society!" ”
As he spoke, Xuan Tong took out his own piece of gold and jade from his waist.
The torture technique immediately realized that the Xuan Tong in front of him was going to help him, but he still didn't understand why Xuan Tong was hiding in the cave under the peerless building? Could it be because the four major leaders of the Jade Casting Society now want to harm him? Or is it because of something else?
The torture technique was thinking and judging in his head, and Xuan Tong stepped back and sat in the corner, just looking at the torture technique, not saying a word.
At this time, at the secret door outside the tower, Hu Sanqian, who tracked down here, groped, and he knew that there must be a secret door here, because there was a dead end in front of him, and there was no other way out. At the same time, Pan Feng's humming song was getting closer and closer to him, and Hu Sanqian had to get up slowly, turn around and look into the passage behind him, looking at Pan Feng who was getting clearer and clearer in the dark, and the incorruptible golden body of the female corpse on his back.
Pan Feng looked as if he couldn't see Hu Sanqian at all, he carried the female corpse on his back and stepped forward, groping on the wall in front of him, looking for the switch that he was too familiar with. And Hu Sanqian, who was on the side, didn't dare to come out, because he felt that there was a strange smell on Pan Feng's body who was close at hand, this smell was not what a living person should have, it was a biting coldness, and at the same time, it was also mixed with a strong sense of oppression.
It's as if the female corpse he carries on his back is the guardian who takes care of him while he unlocks the lock.
Hu Sanqian's gaze slowly moved to the female corpse, although the female corpse's head was facing backwards and her eyes were closed, Hu Sanqian always had the feeling that the female corpse's eyes were actually wide, and her eyes moved to the corners of her eyes and kept staring at her.
The person and the corpse in front of him were in a strange posture, the person was groping for the mechanism, and the corpse seemed to be staring at him.
Hu Sanqian couldn't describe what it was like, as if everything in front of him was non-existent, nothing, but he could see it, and he could touch it but didn't dare to touch it.
Ghost? These two words suddenly popped up in Hu Sanqian's mind, yes, the current Pan Feng is like a ghost!
As soon as Hu Sanqian gave such a definition, the secret door slowly opened towards it, and when it opened, Pan Feng, who was staring at the ground, raised his hand and took out a note from his pocket: "This is the location of the surnamed Bai, he is fine, he is just asleep." ”
Hu Sanqian took the note, did not look at it carefully, but looked at the secret door that had been opened, and saw at a glance the torture and Xuan Tong who were in the confrontation, and when he was about to speak, Pan Feng walked in first, and said to Xuan Tong: "I have done what you ordered, and now the police have almost done it, thank you very much for your help." ”
As he spoke, Xuan Tong put down his golden body, did not raise his head, and did not look at his Xuan Tong three times.
Hu Sanqian felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and when he saw that the torture was injured, he subconsciously took out the coffin nail, walked inside, bypassed Pan Feng, who was still kneeling, walked to the side of the torture, and asked, "What's the matter?" Who's this? ”
"He said that he was the thirty-fifth generation of the first worker of the Jade Casting Society, and he was the Xuan family that Chenxue said before." Torture shook his head, "But I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Hu Sanqian took out a note: "The roadmap that Pan Feng gave me, saying that Xiaobai is there, let's take Xiaobai and Miss He away, I don't think something is right, they deliberately brought us here, this is a trap." ”
Xingshu shook his head: "I can't go, he said, either I will win him, or I will agree to his conditions." ”
Hu Sanqian frowned: "What conditions?" ”
"I don't know, but it should be revenge on the current four major leaders of the Jade Casting Society." Torture stared at the motionless pupils in the distance.
Hu Sanqian took a deep breath: "I'm worried about Xiaobai, I have to save him, and then come back, multiple helpers are fine." ”
At this time, Xuan Tong on the opposite side suddenly raised his eyes to look at Hu Sanqian, and said, "It's really strange that there are still people who open the coffin now." ”
Hu Sanqian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Good eyesight." ”
"In the past, although the person who opened the coffin was also mysterious, at least it was not so incognito as it is now, just like us." Xuan Tong looked at the torture technique, "Just like him, he is a pawnshop, a boss and a courtier, but he is actually a chaser, you must know that in the past, there were many people who were very disgusted with chasers, because they took people's love, and the crime was extremely evil!" ”
Hu Sanqian clenched his fists: "Senior, there must be a misunderstanding here, we will pay for it, I hope you can let us take this Miss He, we will leave immediately." ”
Xuan Tong smiled: "Even if I agree, this person next to you may not agree, the truth is in front of me, will he let it go easily?" No, I can bet you. ”
Hu Sanqian looked at the torture technique, and the torture technique said in a low voice: "Sanqian, you go to save Xiaobai, I will wait for you here." Before Hu Sanqian could persuade him again, the torture technique said, "It's okay, don't worry, go ahead." ”
Hu Sanqian had to nod, walked to the dark door, and turned around again: "How to open?" ”
"Use the nine-palace twelve-way algorithm to find the position of the switch in the pattern on the door." Xuan Tong turned his head and said, "If you want to come in, use the reverse method to calculate." ”
Hu Sanqian frowned: "It's that simple? ”
"Yes, it's that simple." Xuan Tong nodded, "The mechanism here is easier the further you go, if we can really cooperate, I can explain the situation here to you in detail, because this is my home, except for the builders, I am the most familiar." ”
Hu Sanqian looked at the torture technique again, the torture technique nodded vigorously at him, Hu Sanqian immediately looked for the pattern, quickly found the switch, opened the secret door, and rushed into the passage to find Bai Zhongzheng.
After Hu Sanqian left, Xingshu glanced at Pan Feng, then looked at Xuan Tong and said, "My speculation is right, there is really someone behind Pan Feng, everything he does is your plan, but I don't understand, why did you choose him?" ”
"Providence, or rather that I have a fate with him." Xuan Tong turned his head to look at Pan Feng, who was kneeling there, with a numb face, and the current Pan Feng was the same as before.
Torture shook his head: "I don't understand what you mean. ”
"Want to know?" Xuan Tong smiled and asked, "Okay, it's still those two conditions, either help me or win me!" ”
"There is no third option? ”
Xuan Tong just shook his head, then got up and moved his hands and feet: "You better fight with me again, maybe in this way, you can die and know that it is impossible to choose to win me, come!" ”
Torture nodded slightly, took off his coat, folded it on top of the backpack on one side, and began to move his limbs to prepare.
In the separate meeting room of the detention center, the surface of the wall clock on one side was deliberately polished by Fu Mingwei, he sat there eating instant noodles, and there were two bowls of steaming instant noodles on the opposite side of the table, and behind the noodle bowls, sitting Ding Wei and Wang Yulan and his wife, although it was late at night, there was no tiredness on their faces.
Ding Wei looked at the instant noodle bowl in front of him, while Wang Yulan cautiously looked at Fu Mingwei, who was gobbling up noodles.
"Eat it while it's hot, instant noodles won't taste good if you soak them for a long time, and I don't know if you like to eat hard or soft ones, but I think you're not young anymore, and your stomach shouldn't be able to stand too hard noodles, so I soaked the noodles a little softer." Fu Mingwei said as he took out a tissue, took out a piece to wipe his mouth, and threw the tissue between the two noodle bowls opposite, signaling the two to take it if they needed to.
"Officer Fu, we have pleaded guilty." Ding Wei said softly, "My wife doesn't actually know about it, and it has nothing to do with her. ”
"Acting or showing affection?" Fu Mingwei took out the cigarette, and then saw the non-smoking sign next to it, so he had to put it back again.
Ding Wei just shook his head, and Fu Mingwei said again: "Doesn't she know about Xia Jiezhu?" She knows that this is also a crime, and besides, you say that you don't know how Xia Jiezhu died, in fact, I believe you, but what I want to find out more is, why did Xia Jiezhu die? I'm here to remind you once again that the Russian side is also investigating the oil painting case, and now the focus is on the contact person of the Russian gangster who meets you in person, what is the name of Ivan or Yuri, yes, it is called Yuri, it seems that there are people with such names all over the streets in Russia. ”
Ding Wei's face changed a little, and Fu Mingwei grinned: "Scared? You have to know that even if you don't die, you have to stay in prison for the rest of your life, so there is no need for you to hide what happened back then, let's put it this way, I won't go around in circles, and the interrogation of the liaison on the Russian side did not ask about Xia Jiezhu, because the matter of that child is not important to the Russian side, but for me, it is very important! So, what I want to tell you is that I actually don't know what happened when you led Ji Dewu and Xia Jiezhu to Russia back then, but I hope you can tell it. ”
When Fu Mingwei spoke, he saw Wang Yulan lowering her head and tears falling vigorously, and Ding Wei's face also looked ugly, he knew that with more effort, he would know what happened at the beginning.
Ding Wei suddenly raised his head: "It's my fault!" I hurt her, but I didn't want to, because I regarded Xia Jiezhu as my daughter, and I regarded all the children in the orphanage as my own biological children. ”
Fu Mingwei looked at Ding Wei coldly: "Are these things you said useful?" I'm asking you to tell the truth, and before I explain the truth, you don't have to say such a touching opening statement, hurry up. ”
Ding Wei looked at the instant noodle bowl in front of him, and his eyes became blurred.
In the underground monster tower, the fight between the torture and the pupil continues, but the pupil obviously has the upper hand, it can be said that he is completely "playing" with the torture, and he did not use all his strength, nor did he deliberately hurt the torture, if he really did his best, I am afraid that the torture would have been knocked to the ground by him a long time ago.
The torture technique was another flying leg, which was easily defused by Xuan Pupil, and then he stepped aside, and when he was about to speak, Pan Feng suddenly looked at him with tired eyes and said, "She's awake!" ”
The torture technique was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the female corpse on the ground, the torture technique had determined that the female corpse was the person in the painting, but he didn't know who she was, he felt that it was best to strike while the iron was hot at this time, and immediately asked: "Who is she?" Is it the woman in the picture you gave me? ”
"Yes!" Xuan Tong took the first step to help Pan Feng answer, "Her name is Xia Jiezhu, she is older than this kid, she arrived at the orphanage later than him, the case that happened in the studio of the special academy back then was a murder case involving this girl, as a deposit for you to help me, I can tell you what happened at that time now." ”
Then, Xuan Tong stood in front of Pan Feng and told what happened that night many years ago, including the fact that after Qi Baye and Pan Feng buried the body in the riverside wetland, Pan Feng quietly returned to dig up the body and take it to the basement of the peerless building to hide.
Xingshu looked at Pan Feng: "How did you know about the basement below the Peerless Building?" Who told you that? ”
Pan Feng was silent, and Xuan Tong said: "This matter, let's explain it later, unless you agree to my conditions, but aren't you interested in how Xia Jiezhu died?" ”
Torture nodded: "How did she die?" Who is the murderer? ”
"How Xia Jiezhu died, we have to talk about the time when Ding Wei, Ji Dewu and Xia Jiezhu went to Russia." Xuan Tong turned his head to look at Pan Feng who was kneeling on the ground, Pan Feng's eyes widened at this time, looking at the ground, his fists clenched, and his teeth clenched.
Xingshu looked at Xuantong, and Xuantong looked at Pan Feng, and after a long time, he slowly turned his head and raised his eyes to look at Xingshu: "It was three months before Xia Jiezhu's death, just in the spring, Ding Wei and the Russian side hooked up, and what he wanted to do at first was to buy and sell fakes, he wanted to make high imitations, because he had two geniuses under him, Ji Dewu and Xia Jiezhu, and at the same time they were also a pair of lovers, such a combination is too perfect, love can be the icing on the cake for the works of the pen, inject soul into the works, and make the dead things under the brush become living things......"
The Russian mafia saw the paintings of the two with their own eyes, amazed, and immediately said that they wanted to maintain long-term cooperation with Ding Wei, they saw that the prospects of this transaction were very good, if they found a suitable counterfeiting master, multi-faceted cooperation, they will definitely be able to open up a new market, plus their way, do not worry about making a fortune.
Even the mafia knows that fighting, killing, killing, drug trafficking, and smuggling arms are far less profitable than these fake transactions that do not need to use knives and guns, and kill people to see blood, and they are relatively less risky.
Xuan Tong slowly walked to the side of the torture technique and looked at Pan Feng who was kneeling on the ground: "That night, the Russian mafia held a party for them, is it called a party?" There are not many people at the party, plus Ding Wei They are just ** people, everyone drinks and chats, they are very happy, Ji Dewu is also very excited because of the upcoming beautiful tomorrow, because as long as he earns enough money, he can marry Xia Jiezhu, although Xia Jiezhu feels that money is not such an important thing. Subsequently, the mafia side came up with something that would liven up the atmosphere of the party, and guess what? ”
Xingshu was stunned for a moment, he didn't need to think about it at all to know what it was, he looked at Xuan Pupil and said in a low voice: "Drugs? ”
Xuan Tong looked at Pan Feng: "Yes." ”
Torture's heart beat faster, he seemed to know what was going to happen next, but he didn't dare to think about it, every time a little bit of his guess flashed through his mind, he would deliberately erase it, and then tell himself that it was just a guess, it was wrong.
"And ......" As soon as Xuan Tong said this, he and the torture technique heard a crunching sound, and then looked at Pan Feng, who was kneeling and bowing his head, bleeding from the corners of his mouth - he had crushed his teeth.
Xuan Tong paused, and whispered in the ear of torture: "The people present, except for Xia Jiezhu, all took drugs, what happened, only Xia Jiezhu knows, when everyone came to their senses the next morning, Xia Jiezhu was lying naked ** behind the sofa, and he had fainted, as for what happened the night before, how many people participated, no one knows." ”
Xingshu subconsciously looked at Pan Feng, Xuan Tong grabbed him and turned his body to his side: "Don't look at him, he doesn't know, he just wants revenge, I also want revenge, so we hit it off, now, you know what happened back then, right?" I've shown my sincerity, and you should show yours! ”
Xingshu frowned, then shook his head, just shaking his head desperately: "How did Xia Jiezhu die?" Who killed her? Ji Dewu? Only Ji Dewu! ”
Xuan Tong shook his head: "Torture, you are a smart person, you must know that Pan Feng is just a child whether it is now or when Xia Jiezhu died, and there are some things that he doesn't understand at all for a child." ”
Xingshu was stunned for a moment, looking at Xuan Tong speechless for a long time, he suddenly thought that Pan Feng was a schizotypal autistic person, could it be ......
Xingshu looked at Pan Feng again, and Xuan Tong pulled him back again to face him: "I said, don't look at him now, use your brain to think about who is the murderer." How Xia Jiezhu died, I only found out after examining the corpse, I have said so much, I believe that with your wisdom, you should be able to speculate. ”
There was chaos in the heart of the torture technique, and his mind was full of fragmentary pictures of the fantasy of that night in Russia, and his ears were full of Xia Jiezhu's cries, as well as the laughter and wheezing of the participants, and from time to time I could see those people full of ** demonic eyes.
"Think about it for yourself." Xuan Tong walked towards Pan Feng after speaking, and whispered something in his ear.
After a long time, Pan Feng nodded silently: "Benefactor, I understand, I will keep my promise." ”
Xuan Tong sat down cross-legged: "If you believe me, I will believe you." ”
Pan Feng got up, looked at Xia Jiezhu's golden body, bowed and walked slowly towards the torture technique, and said in a low voice: "Go." ”
"What?" The torture technique didn't react to what Pan Feng was going to do.
"I'll take you away, and then ......," Pan Feng said and raised his eyes, "You take me to turn myself in." ”
Torture immediately shook his head: "I have to take you to turn yourself in, but, my friends are still here, and I want to leave with them." ”
Pan Feng looked back at Xuan Tong, Xuan Tong opened his eyes and said, "The person who opened the coffin just now, and the one surnamed Bai, when they come, I will tell them how to leave." Originally, I wanted to take her hostage...... Xuan Tong turned his head to look at He Chenxue, "But at the moment, there is no need for that, because you are not a person who will break your word, now I only need you to promise me one thing, and after you finish solving Pan Feng's matter, come back to me." ”
Xingshu looked at Xuan Tong and nodded, "Okay, it's a word!" ”
Xuan Tong saw that there was still a trace of suspicion in his eyes, and said: "Xingju, I, Xuan Tong, am not a bad person, just a person with a simple purpose of revenge, that's all." ”
The torture technique said lightly: "If people only need to distinguish between good and bad, how simple would it be?" ”
