Chapter 36: The Victims
There were people sitting in the stone house, three stoves in the three corners, plus the two Xu brothers who were still alive and arrested, a total of 15 people. A huge team of 15 people, which has never been encountered before in the art of punishment, in his method, there must not be more than 5 people in the team, of course, if a guide is needed in some areas, plus a guide of up to 6 people, there can be no more.
The torture technique clearly knows that there can not be too many people in the team, because everyone's habits are different, sometimes a simple little thing can lead to a great contradiction, and the contradiction will cause a rift in the team, and at this time, the probability of success of this team will be reduced to less than thirty percent.
At the moment, the contradictions of these 15 people cannot be resolved and reconciled at all, and of course, this is what the murderer wants to see.
There is no doubt that this smart person has also calculated that if Xu Cai and Xu Dao are left there, Sheng Zitai and Sheng Yutang will not kill them, but what next? And what will he do?
Torture sat there thinking about it, to solve one thing, he must first find the root of the matter, but there are too many root problems here, so many that he can't start.
The corpse hanging on the top of the head made everyone sitting in the stone house feel panicked, but because it was too high, no one could take it off, and the torture knew that the dead person had died, and the police had to be called to the police, but now the police could rush over? The most troublesome thing is that there is no signal on the mobile phone here, unless it is a satellite phone, Yan Gang has one there, Sheng Yutang and Sheng Zitai must also have it, and the Xu brothers may also have it, but their ones were either taken away by Xu You, or they were "kept" by one of Sheng Zitai or Sheng Yutang.
The sky had long since dawned and the sun was shining, but the stone house was still cold, and everyone was huddled together in groups to keep warm.
Guarding the door are still Samuchuan, Duan Weiguo and Mu Tianjian, and it can be seen from here that in fact, the three groups of people don't trust each other, and the so-called trust is just a pose.
Finally, Xu Cai woke up, he was tied up, after opening his eyes, he subconsciously looked around, and then struggled to get up, but was held down by Duan Weijia, raised a finger to signal him not to speak, and at the same time nodded towards the torture not far away, pointed outside, and signaled to take Xu Cai out for questioning.
Xingshu nodded, and took the lead in getting up and walking out, while Sheng Yutang also got up and walked out at this time.
Duan Weijia nodded to Duan Weiguo at the door, Duan Weiguo returned to look at Sheng Zitai, who was still sleeping, and then cut the tape on Xu Cai's ankle and grabbed him and walked outside.
When Xu Cai left, he saw Xu Dao in another corner, and then looked elsewhere, looking for the other two brothers, and just as he was about to leave, Duan Weijia grabbed his head, leaned up, and whispered in his ear: "That's your eldest brother!" Killed by lightning! ”
Xu Cai's eyes widened, looked at the roof, and was about to say something, but Duan Weijia covered his mouth again: "If you have something to say, there is more!" ”
Xu Cai's eyes were already red, gritting his teeth and walking, after leaving the stone house and walking under the tree on one side, Xu Cai turned around and crashed towards Duan Wei's house, but was avoided by Duan Wei's family, grabbed his collar and threw it directly under the tree.
Torture stood on one side, and Sheng Yutang watched with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Chop!" Xu Cai scolded fiercely, "I will let you pay for your lives!" So, you'd better kill me now! ”
The torture technique said lightly: "Xu Cai, your eldest brother was not killed by us, you also saw it before, he was covered in black, he was killed by lightning, someone killed him, and put an iron rod in his backpack, it was a thunderstorm last night, you know, right?" ”
Xu Cai was stunned for a moment, then recalled carefully, and finally remembered the scene when the four of them came to the cemetery.
Xingshu looked at Xu Cai's expression, then looked at Sheng Yutang and Duan Weijia respectively, and asked, "According to my speculation, the four of you were the first to arrive here last night, and then you were ambushed, right?" ”
"Men in Black! The man in black! Xu Cai gritted his teeth and said, "Also, Xu You!" My brother Xu You seems to be in the same group as him! The most terrifying thing is that Xu You seems to be ...... Seems crazy! ”
"What do you mean?" Sheng Yutang took off the cigarette from his mouth, "You carefully say it from beginning to end." ”
Xu Cai raised his hand: "Yes, but you have to let me go first, and you have to let go of my younger brother Xu Dao, otherwise, I won't say a word!" ”
The torture technique nodded towards Duan Weijia, and Duan Weijia took out a dagger to cut the tape wrapped around his wrist, because Xu Cai could definitely not be the opponent of the three people in front of him, even if Xu Dao was added, it would be an egg hitting a stone.
Xu Cai pinched his wrist, looked at the three people in front of him, told everything that happened last night, and then came to his own conclusion: "We are all calculated, and we are on the road, and it is the man in black who controls us behind the scenes!" ”
Xingshu asked: "If you didn't lie, Xu You is most likely an accomplice of the man in black, but I heard that you four brothers have a very good relationship, how could he betray you?" Even if you betray it, you won't watch that man in black kill your big brother, right? ”
Duan Weijia also nodded silently, Sheng Yutang just listened with a cigarette in his mouth and did not express his opinion.
Xu Caidao: "I don't know what's going on, I only know that my younger brother has always disagreed with us, and you should also have our general information, and the information must have said that he is a person who is obsessed with history, obsessed with those old objects, the kind that only goes in and can't leave, and the location where he stores the objects, no one knows except him." ”
Duan Weijia said coldly: "It seems that it was premeditated." ”
"Eldest prince, there is something I have to trouble you, please go and bring Xu Dao out, he should almost wake up, we should confront him face to face and see if Xu Cai is lying." After the torture technique finished speaking, he nodded slightly and said, "It's hard work." ”
Sheng Yutang didn't say anything, turned around and entered the stone house, and as soon as he walked away, Duan Weijia immediately said: "Torture, ask whatever you want, it's not for nothing that you take him away." ”
The torture technique immediately asked, "I just want to know, how did the Xu brothers get restrained by you?" ”
Xu Cai immediately said: "It was Sheng Zitai who took our evidence in his hand to threaten us, first let us go to Harbin, let us go to rob the warehouse of the express company, at this critical time, Sheng Yutang came to call and stopped us, and we returned to Changsha according to his request, returned to Changsha, this person came to us with a sum of dollars, let us continue to cooperate with Sheng Zitai regardless of our previous suspicions." ”
Xingshu looked at Duan Wei's family, Duan Weijia nodded to indicate that it was the truth, and Xingshu asked again: "So, where did Sheng Zitai's evidence come from?" Brother Duan, you have been staying by his side, you should know this kind of thing very well, right? He trusts you Duan brothers so much, he shouldn't hide it. ”
"You just guessed wrong." Duan Weijia frowned and said, "Only this matter, Sheng Zitai didn't tell us where he came from. ”
Xingshu smiled bitterly: "Okay, the clue is broken again, the current Sheng Zitai is not in a good mental state, even if he is sober, I can't ask anything, and it seems that you have to take him to move on, right?" ”
"Of course!" Duan Weijia nodded, "That's my duty, and you also know that whoever finds the Jiacuo Hall first may become the next sect master." ”
Xingshu shook his head: "My life is almost gone, and I still have to be the master of the door." ”
"People, everything you do in your life is a fight for your life." Duan Weijia looked at Xu Cai, "I know you are very smart, you are the smartest of the four brothers, I can return all the evidence to you now, on the condition that you must cooperate with Brother Sheng, that is, the little son, are you willing?" ”
Xu Cai grinned: "I can't ask for it!" I don't want to fight alone, my eldest brother is dead, and now I am the eldest in the family, I have to think about the future of me and Xu Dao, after this deal is done, we will wash our hands. ”
"Good!" Duan Weijia stretched out his hand, "Welcome to join!" ”
Xu Cai and Duan Weijia's hands were clasped tightly, Xingshu looked at the hands of the two, and suddenly asked: "Xu Cai, there is one more thing I must be sure of, the decision to go up the mountain last night was made by Xu You, and then you told Sheng Yutang?" ”
Xu Cai replied strangely: "No, the third child can't decide anything, the decision to go up the mountain was made by Sheng Yutang, he let us meet in Jijiaoling, who knows that when we went up the mountain, we met the man in black, and the man in black pointed out another road to us. ”
Duan Weijia frowned: "Why did you listen to him?" ”
"He's got our evidence!" Xu Cai gritted his teeth and said, "He said the time, place, and exact coordinates when we robbed the tomb in Xiangxi before, and even the age of the ancient tomb that was stolen, and what some of the objects were taken out, he roughly said it, it was completely true, because the person who recorded those objects was me, I remember very clearly, it can't be made up." ”
Xingshu glanced at Duan Wei's family: "Sure enough, the mastermind behind the scenes is the man in black, Xu You is his person, and ......"
"Sheng Yutang lied last night!" Duan Weijia closed his eyes and thought, "He said that the decision to go up the mountain was told by the Xu brothers, but in fact it was not, what is going on?" Could it be that Sheng Yutang had a deal with the man in black? ”
The torture technique recalled the picture when he asked Sheng Yutang this question last night, as well as the expressions of everyone when he pointed out Xu Sheng's corpse, and then he shook his head: "No, it's not that simple, I speculated on a person, but I'm not sure yet, there is no solid evidence." ”
Duan Weijia immediately asked, "Who is it?" ”
Xu Cai also looked at the torture, when the torture was about to speak, Sheng Yutang had already walked over slowly with Xu Dao, Xu Dao ran forward when he saw Xu Cai, the two brothers hugged each other, Xu Dao gasped and said: "Second brother, the eldest brother is dead!" ”
"I see, the man in black killed him." Xu Cai said in a low voice, "We will definitely avenge our eldest brother!" ”
Xu Dao pushed Xu Cai away: "And Xu You!" I said a long time ago, he has a problem, none of you believe me, what do you and my eldest brother persuade me to say, brotherhood, does he talk about love? ”
Xu Cai shook his head: "Fourth, I'm sorry." ”
Xingshu looked at Xu Dao at this time, staring at him all the time, and then asked, "For such a long time, has Xu You ever been separated from you alone?" ”
"Of course, a lot of times, a lot of times." Xu Dao replied, "From time to time, he will leave alone, and his most common is a professor in the former school, listen to him, his surname is Fan, what is his name Fanjun or something?" ”
The torture technique was stunned: "Fan Junyi? ”
Xu Cai nodded: "Yes, Fan Junyi!" ”
Sheng Yutang sneered: "Torture, Fan Jun is the former head of the Jade Casting Society, according to the Xu brothers, it seems that the Jade Casting Society secretly seems to have done a lot of tricks. ”
Duan Weijia hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that the man in black is Fan Junyi?" ”
"Impossible!" Xingshu shook his head, "Fan Junyi is very smart, but he doesn't have that kind of skill, among the previous first workers, only He Fenglei can do a little kung fu, but in fact, He Fenglei is not my opponent." ”
Sheng Yutang snorted: "Then who knows?" Maybe you're one of the layouters too. ”
Xingshu looked at Sheng Yutang and smiled: "Eldest prince, if this bureau is set up by me, there will only be one possibility, that is, you don't even know how you died!" ”
Sheng Yutang smiled, smiled and smiled and froze on his face, then his arms began to tremble, and then he vomited a mouthful of blood and knelt directly on the ground.
Xingshu, Duan Weijia, Xu Cai and Xu Dao were all dumbfounded, and immediately stepped forward, and when Xingshu saw that Sheng Yutang's appearance was not pretending, he immediately shouted towards the stone house: "Samuchuan!" Come on! Hurry up! ”
Samuchuan at the door of the stone house rushed out when he heard the sound, and then Yuan Zhenba and Mu Tianjian also rushed out, Tan Tong wanted to go out, but Yan Gang stopped him, and Duan Weiguo had to stay because he wanted to look at Sheng Zitai.
Fan Meng and He Chenxue in the corner looked out strangely.
By the time Samuchuan, Yuan Zhenba and Mu Tianjian rushed to the bottom of the tree, Sheng Yutang was already dying, he watched the torture technique grasp the wrist of the torture technique, opened his mouth to say something, and the torture technique immediately attached his ears to the past, and after listening to it for a while, Sheng Yutang was weak, his hands and feet were spread, and his eyes died.
"The eldest son!" Mu Tianjian stepped forward and started to do first aid, Yuan Zhenba also assisted, and the torture technique slowly got up, just looking at Sheng Yutang's corpse, while Duan Weijia next to him looked at him, and then looked at Xu Cai and Xu Dao, not knowing what was going on at all, because everything came too suddenly.
After a long time, Yuan Zhenba got up and looked at the corpse like that, while Mu Tianjian was still there doing first aid, Yuan Zhenba squatted down and pressed Mu Tianjian's shoulder: "Tianjian, the eldest prince has gone, it's useless." ”
"Impossible! He's not going to die! He's not going to die! Mu Tianjian is still doing those useless things.
Yuan Zhenbayi dragged him up: "Listen! The eldest prince is already dead, and if you smash him in the chest with a fist, there is no way to make his heart beat again! You're about to break your ribs! ”
Mu Tianjian roared violently, and an over-the-shoulder fall fell Yuan Zhenba, continuing to do useless things. The others didn't step forward, they just watched.
Yuan Zhenba, who was covered in mud, got up, and didn't stop it anymore, but just asked coldly: "How did the eldest prince die?" Say! ”
None of the people spoke, Xu Cai glanced at the people around him, and then told everyone what had happened before.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Tianjian got up and pounced towards the torture, the torture immediately dodged and dodged, and Mu Tianjian attacked one after another, every move was a killing move, after the torture technique was hit by a punch and a kick, he raised his hand and said: "I didn't kill the person, you calm down!" ”
At this time, Mu Tianjian couldn't calm down at all, because the torture technique killed his benefactor, he must take revenge, and then he pulled out his dagger and attacked again. Duan Weijia didn't stop it, Xu Cai and Xu Dao just watched, and Yuan Zhenba squatted there to check Sheng Yutang's body.
No one stepped forward to stop Mu Tianjian, who had already forced the torture technique into a desperate situation.
Mu Tianjian pounced on the torture technique, raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed it in the face of the torture technique......
Torture looked at his face full of murderous intent and thought: Oh no!
At this moment, Yuan Zhenba got up and shouted, "Tianjian, stop!" ”
But where is the time, Mu Tianjian's dagger is about to stab the torture technique, just at this moment, a crossbow arrow flew out of the woods, and hit the blade of the dagger without bias or oblique, directly making Mu Tianjian's dagger out of his hand, and Mu Tianjian also reacted very quickly, after a standard tactical evasion action, picked up the dagger and threw it in the direction where the crossbow arrow came.
After a "snap", a hand in the woods firmly grasped the handle of the dagger, and then Bai Zhongzheng, who was covered in mud, walked out, raised his crossbow and aimed at Mu Tianjian, and asked the torture technique: "Torture, are you okay?" ”
Torture shook his head: "It's okay, thank you, I'm almost done." ”
Mu Tianjian got up and was about to attack again, but Yuan Zhenba stepped forward and pressed his shoulder: "Calm down!" ”
Mu Tianjian wanted to repeat the old trick again, using an over-the-shoulder throw, Yuan Zhenba raised his knee to resist his lower back, and said in a deep voice: "Tianjian, you should know that the eldest prince said before, if he is not there, you have to listen to me!" Have you forgotten? You said it yourself, you will abide by every word that the eldest prince says, are you going to break your word?! ”
Mu Tianjian let go at this time, and after taking a vicious look at the torture technique, he turned around and returned to Sheng Yutang's side, his expression became very gloomy, kneeling in front of his corpse, crying silently.
Yuan Zhenba glanced at the people around him and said, "The eldest prince was not killed by torture. ”
No one present asked why, because except for Mu Tianjian, no one thought it was a torture technique, because it was too sudden, and the torture technique did not make a move, Sheng Yutang fell like that, and he couldn't be determined to be a murderer just because of the sentence of the torture technique.
"The eldest prince was poisoned to death." Yuan Zhenba said coldly, "As far as I know, the torture technique is not good at using poison, because he belongs to the kind of cargo chaser with more average skills, and he is not too good at anything, unlike me, but everyone present is suspected of killing the eldest prince, because you all have motives." ”
After Yuan Zhenba finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at the criminal technique, Xu Dao, Xu You, Duan Weijia respectively, and finally pointed at Bai Zhongzheng: "Including you!" Because you're in the shadows! ”
The torturer stepped forward and asked, "Poisoning?" How do you know about poisoning? After speaking, the torture technique remembered something, he looked at Yuan Zhen Badao, "I know who you are!" You are the new one that has emerged in the past few years, a master who is good at medical skills and can detoxify by himself, everyone in the industry calls you the eighth master, and you have saved many people. ”
Yuan Zhenba said coldly: "It's me, I'm sorry, torture, I'm really introducing myself now, it's a little late......"
"yes, it's a little late!" Xingshu looked at Sheng Yutang's corpse, "What kind of poison is he?" ”
Yuan Zhenba shook his head: "I have to take another look, in short, now I can only be sure that it is poisoning, and it is food poisoning, because if it doesn't hurt his stomach, he won't vomit blood." ”
Duan Weijia shook his head: "Food poisoning? Then why are you and Mu Tianjian okay? ”
Yuan Zhenba looked at Mu Tianjian, who was crying on his knees, and just shook his head.
Who knows?
