Chapter 37: The Next Clue

The torture technique is very clear, he can't delay it any longer, for example, to give Tang Qianrou an accurate answer, although the coherent things that happened are indeed moving in the direction he envisioned, he still feels that there is a big problem in it, that is, the process of him learning all the truth is simply too smooth.

On the surface, it was Tang Qianrou's group of people from the Cusco company who had already laid out many years ago, netted everyone, and dragged the criminal technique into the bureau at the right opportunity, looking for clues to Qimen instead of them.

But in this bureau, there are two biggest loopholes - first, according to Tang Qianrou, their purpose is to use criminal art to find it, but when they laid it out, criminal art was still a hairy boy, how did they know that after many years, criminal art would become an excellent cargo chaser? Will they be unpredictable?

Second, the criminal technique was involved in this matter because of the two thousand years of black incense chopsticks, in other words, he started to look backwards from the clues left by Xing Renju, but the Cusco company has obtained the key clues for decades, and on this basis, all the clues that were looked for before the criminal technique have become irrelevant, so why do you need criminal techniques?

Of course, Tang Qianrou didn't tell Ma Fei directly, they not only need torture, but also Lian Jiuqi, and now they don't know that Lian Jiuqi is their father, so in this matter, it should be Ma Fei who can see the offense thoroughly.

Ma Fei concluded one thing in his heart at this time, that is, to continue to search for the clues after that, and the person who must not be bypassed is Lian Jiuqi, and the Cusco company needs criminal skills, perhaps because only by controlling the criminal arts, it is possible to let Lian Jiuqi fall into line, and the real purpose of Lian Jiuqi's return to China is to solve these things once and for all, so that the criminal skills can be permanently left out of the matter.

However, judging from the current situation, Lian Jiuqi has failed.

Ma Fei looked at the torture technique, nodded slightly, the torture technique understood what Ma Fei meant, turned to Tang Qianjiu and said, "I can promise you, but I have conditions." ”

Tang Qianrou smiled: "Of course, you are qualified to negotiate conditions with me, as long as it is not too excessive, I can agree." ”

Xingshu pondered for a while, glanced at She Caixiang, and said: "Let go of the construction, don't care about She Caixiang's affairs." ”

Tang Qianrou immediately said: "No problem, I will arrange for the contractor to come to China as soon as possible, and I will be able to arrive tomorrow night at the earliest." ”

She Caixiang looked at Xingshu with grateful eyes, and Xingshu avoided her eyes, but Ma Fei, who was sitting next to Xingshu, could completely feel the subtle tremor in Xingshu's heart.

"Second, don't drag anyone else into this." Xingshu looked directly at Tang Qianrou, and after the other party nodded, he said, "Third, hand over Fan Meng to the police." ”

Tang Qianrou immediately shook her head: "I can hand him over to you, or the Jade Casting Society, but it is absolutely impossible to hand him over to the police, you should know the rules." ”

"Okay, you give him to me." ”

Tang Qianrou smiled: "Of course, this is a trivial matter, no problem, after finding Qimen, I can let you choose ten things." ”

Xingshu shook his head and said: "I don't need anything in Qimen, I want to find Qimen, I just want to know what Qimen is, what is on the side of the road, what the chaser is actually looking for is not a strange goods, but to uncover the mystery, you have long been consumed by profit, and have forgotten what the essence of the chaser is." ”

Tang Qianrou frowned: "Torture, have you finished your request?" ”

Xingshu nodded silently, although he had other requirements, but he knew that Tang Qianrou would not agree to those requests, even if he agreed, it was just the other party's delaying tactic.

Tang Qianrou glanced around at everyone, and looked at She Caixiang and Sikong Yan respectively: "You two, you can leave here and go to the side room, the next thing has nothing to do with you, if you want to stay here, I am also welcome." ”

Sikong Yan immediately got up and walked towards the side room, but after taking a few steps, he saw that She Caixiang just got up and was not in a hurry to leave.

Sikong Yan stopped and waited there, watching She Caixiang walk towards the torture technique, standing next to the torture technique, and said in a low voice: "Punishment technique, thank you, thank you for your fulfillment......"

Xingshu raised his hand and motioned to She Caixiang not to continue: "I'm not fulfilling you, don't get me wrong, the two of us don't have any relationship for a long time, if I hadn't met you in Beijing, I would have forgotten about you a long time ago, I didn't do this because of you, if it was someone else, I would also help, goodbye." ”

When the torture finished saying "goodbye", She Caixiang smiled reluctantly, turned around and left quickly, just like she could see her beloved contractor when she walked to the side room.

There were still six people left in the main hall, and there was no doubt that these six people would participate in the next action, and the torture technique tried to get himself out of the shadow brought to him by She Caixiang, and he was engrossed in remembering every word Tang Qianrou said next.

"This town is a map that we have spent years simulating from events." After Tang Qianrou finished speaking, she got up and took out a scroll from the dark grid under Shen Kan, and then pulled out the map in it.

The moment the map was pulled out, the torture technique smelled a strong smell of medicine in the scroll parchment.

The torture technique sniffed again: "Three Realms Grass? ”

Wan Qingquan said: "Yes, it is the Three Realms Grass, and you can only use this grass to make an antiseptic potion suitable for this kind of leather paper." ”

Ma Fei glanced at Chen Taidong, who was still asleep, and also stepped forward to look, and asked at the same time, "What is the Three Realms Grass?" ”

The torture explained: "A legendary plant that does not exist in the human world, grows in the dark underground, can never see the sun, has a rather terrifying corrosive ability, and must wear gloves made of the four lingren animal skins when picking, otherwise, the skin and flesh will decay in an instant when touched empty-handed." ”

"Kirin?" Ma Fei was surprised, "Is there really a unicorn?" ”

Wan Qingquan said coldly: "According to the various descriptions of the unicorn in ancient times, it generally refers to the current giraffe and rhinoceros, but judging from the records unearthed in the oracle bone inscription in Yinxu, it should be a rhinoceros." ”

Judging from the earliest recorded historical materials, the so-called Qilin lived in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and due to later climate change, the Qilin began to gradually move south, and the Qilin in the Central Plains at that time became extremely rare. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu had hunted a unicorn, but the people at that time did not know what it was, and there were only two words in the record of "Zuo Chuan" "Lin Ye".

This animal, known as the unicorn, was later judged to be the Indian rhinoceros.

Ma Fei nodded: "It turned out to be a rhinoceros, that is, this map is also made of rhinoceros skin?" ”

Tang Qianrou shook her head: "No, according to the line of words at the back of the map, this map is composed of four spirit skins, that is, the skins of the four Rui beasts in Chinese legends, of course, we can only judge that there are a large number of rhinoceros skins in it, as for what the other three skins are, because this map is too precious to do further research, I am worried about damage." ”

After hearing this, Xingshu immediately asked, "Is this map the clue left by Xing Renju?" ”

After the torture asked, Tang Qianrou and Wan Qingquan glanced at each other, both of them looked very proud, which made the torture and Ma Fei very puzzled, and at this moment, Tang Sirong, who had been silent, finally spoke: "No, this map was found by us following the clues left by Xing Renju." ”

Hearing this, the torture technique suddenly remembered something, he looked at Tang Qianrou and Wan Qingquan speechless for a long time, Ma Fei on the side saw his appearance, and it took more than ten seconds to react, and blurted out: "You have solved the clues left by Xing Renju, went to Inner Mongolia, and found this map through the coal mine!?" ”

Tang Qiansoft said: "Yes, we have already done those things, and now all the news about Inner Mongolia that we release is just to cover up." ”

Xingshu nodded and sat down again: "You know very well that Xing Renju will leave clues directly to the Southwest Tie Tang family, and everyone in the industry knows that the Southwest Tie Tang family is in Qinglian Town, so they will go to the Qinglian Town outside to find it, and back then, you trained Liu Baogu into a coal mine boss, a nouveau riche, in addition to using his mine, you also have to use his story back then to lead me to Liu Baogu's villa, even if Sikong Yan was not there at that time, even if I didn't meet Liu Xiangui by chance, I will also know the story of Liu Baogu from other channels." , follow this clue, and finally come here......"

Tang Qianrou smiled: "That's right. ”

Xingshu said: "In this process, you didn't hide Liu Baogu's identity and back, just hoping to find out that the clue that Xing Renju left in Sichuan pointed to Inner Mongolia, but in fact, you have found out the clue from Inner Mongolia, but others don't know, so you will mislead others to focus their attention on Inner Mongolia." ”

Wan Qingquan leaned back in his chair and said: "There are too many people in the world who want to find Qimen, except for misleading and avoiding them, there is no other most appropriate way, if we take tough measures, we will suffer in the end." ”

Xingshu looked at Wan Qingquan and said: "Admire, even I didn't expect that you took such a good dark move, what I'm curious about is, where did you find this map in Inner Mongolia?" ”

"A very small dungeon." Tang Qianrou said, took out a stack of photos from the bag next to her and put them on the table, "If there is no clear clue, no one would have thought that under that ranch, there is such a small underground palace, with a total area of no more than 100 square meters, there is only one passage in and out, and most importantly, there is no mechanism inside, except for this map, there is nothing." ”

Torture frowned and looked at those photos, judging from the photos, the entrance to the dungeon had been sealed, and it was directly broken by the Cusco company with a machine, and the entire dungeon was empty, except for some stone beds and stone tables, it was a large stable.

Wan Qingquan pointed to the photo and said: "Although it is an underground palace, it has nothing to do with the mausoleum, but our name for this place, there is nothing left in it that can judge the age, we can only guess that this is probably a temporary stop." ”

"Inn? It should be at least after the Yuan Dynasty that there can be such a post station on the grassland, but there has never been a record of this kind of underground post station in the history books. After the torture was finished, he thought about it in his heart, "The period when the cast iron immortal was active was in the Tang Dynasty, and at most lived to the later Tang period, and the fall of the Later Tang Dynasty was also related to the Khitan, although I know that the cast iron immortal has always had a successor, but what I don't understand is what they want to do, and the Later Tang Dynasty is hundreds of years away from the Yuan Dynasty, and the post station on the grassland shouldn't be built by the descendants or successors of the cast iron fairy, right?" ”

Tang Qianrou said lightly: "How did that post station come about, and what is the story, I don't want to know, all I want is the clues." ”

Hearing Tang Qianrou say this, the torturer immediately looked through the photos again, and then asked: "When you went in, you only found an entrance and exit, and it was sealed, right?" ”

Tang Qianrou nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

The torturer asked, "Is there really no other entrance?" What is the entrance sealed with? ”

Wan Qingquan replied: "It is sealed with stones, and we dare not use blasting, so we can only use small machinery to slowly chisel it." ”

After hearing this, Xingshu shook his head: "No, this post station either has other entrances and exits, or you are in the wrong place." ”

Everyone present was shocked, and Tang Qianrou immediately asked, "What do you say?" ”

Xingshu pointed to the photo and said, "It's very simple, since it's a clue left by Xing Renju, then this map must have been put in by him, right?" Why he put it here is unknown, the big question is, how did he get in? Even if the post gate was not sealed by rubble before he entered, when he went in and put the map, and then came out, how could he find so many stones on the grassland to seal the gate and fill the holes outside? Don't say that he is alone, even if a dozen or so people want to do this on the grassland, in that era, it was not easy. ”

Tang Qianrou and Wan Qingquan fell into silence, and then the two of them looked at each other again, and they both began to seriously recall everything that happened when they found that post station many years ago.

Ma Fei looked at the torture technique at the same time, peeked at them, and suddenly understood that the punishment technique said this, in addition to suspecting that they had made a fatal mistake, there was also a purpose, that is, to know what the clues that Xing Renju had left in the Southwest Tietang family back then.

Thinking of this, Ma Fei simply asked: "What is the clue left by Xing Renju back then?" ”

When Wan Qingquan was about to speak, Tang Qianrou immediately said: "The clue he left back then refers to the pasture in Inner Mongolia, there is a clear mountain mark, and it is also written clearly in what month, at what time, according to the position of the moon along a small hill to the north, I can't be mistaken, it must be this place." ”

After hearing this, he thought about it and asked, "What about the specifics?" ”

Tang Qianrou thought for a while, and then replied: "Walking three hundred and fifty-eight steps from the hill that looks like a flat hat to the north, I know the general appearance and height of Xing Renju, so I found the three hundred and fifty-eight steps that someone who is about the same height as him, fat and thin, and at the same time, considering that he is a person who practices martial arts, as well as a series of relationships with the local terrain, I got the data of about half a meter per step, and according to this data, I found the underground post station." ”

Xingshu frowned: "In other words, the coal mine in Liu Bao Valley is still some distance from there, right?" ”

"Yes, it's still some way off, but it's not far." Tang Qianrou looked at the torture technique and said, "Because it is too far away, we will be suspected, and besides, the local coal mines are all open-pit mines, and there are no deep mines." ”

Ma Fei interjected: "So, you are looking for Sikong Yan's father, in fact, all to divert the attention of others, in fact, Sikong Yan is just a pawn you use to confuse others?" ”

Wan Qingquan nodded: "That's right, you must be careful." ”

The torture technique recorded Tang Qianrou's words again in his heart, and then asked, "So, where is the place pointed to on the map?" Why did you simulate a town here? Is it because there is also a small town in the same place as the clue? ”

Tang Qianrou nodded, pointed to the map and said, "Torture, don't you understand where the location recorded on this map is?" ”

Torture nodded, in fact, when the map was unfolded, he had been thinking about this question, he couldn't understand where this map was pointing at all? The place depicted on this map is very small, as if you were given a place in a remote town in China, and without giving you any hints or leaving any words, no one will know what the town is called or where it is.

Wan Qingquan pointed to the map and said, "The place referred to above is commonly known as the golden land, do you know where it is?" ”

Xingshu frowned and shook his head: "I don't know, commonly known as the golden land, not to mention that there are many in the world, there are many in China, where are they?" How do you know it's there? ”

"Satellite." Tang Qianrou looked at the map and said these two words, "In order to find this place, we spent a lot of money, spent five years, bought the satellite maps taken by the United States and Spain one after another, and finally reluctantly pieced together a location, this place is called the Golden Mountain in Mongolian, which also means the Golden Land." ”

The torture technique was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Altai region? ”

Maffei immediately asked: "Altai?" Is that the mountain range referring? ”

Wan Qingquan said: "Yes, the Altai Mountains, this mountain range spans part of the territory of China, Outer Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan, the situation is very complicated, all the way through, stretching for more than 2,000 kilometers, the area is too large. ”

Tang Qianrou continued: "The most important thing is that the time is almost up, and if we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait another year." ”

Puzzled, he asked, "What does this mean?" You've already sent someone? ”

"Yes, we sent two very professional survey teams." When Wan Qingquan said this, he paused, his face looked very ugly, "The first team was sent out the year before last, and it lost its continuity on the third day after entering the mountain, and the second team we prepared for half a year, and sent it last summer, and on the fourth day after entering the mountain, we found the camp left by the first survey team, but all the people were missing, and no one was alive or dead. ”

Maffei immediately asked, "Why is this happening?" What the hell is going on? ”

"It is also called Four Seasons Mountain, as the name suggests, no matter what season of the year you go, as long as you enter the scope of that mountain, you will re-experience the four seasons." Wan Qingquan clenched his fists, "After the second survey team entered, it didn't take long for them to withdraw, 15 of them went, and only 5 survived, 3 of them were seriously injured, and they died not long after......"

Hearing this, the torture technique understood, and the implication of Tang Qianrou and Wan Qingquan's words was that they wanted to organize a most professional survey team again to enter the Four Seasons Mountain in the Altai Mountains again, because they had almost determined that Qimen was hiding in the Four Seasons Mountains.
