Angu looked at the torture technique with a pleading eye, of course the torture technique couldn't bear to make Angu look like that, and asked Wu Zi'an: "Is there no other alternative?" Can't you just cut open the belly of the dead water monster and take out the key in it? ”

Wu Zi'an shook his head: "I don't know, you can try it, I advise you to hurry up, because now Qian Xiuye will definitely go to find the secret of the Helian family, he doesn't want to be mastered by your master, so he can only figure out a way by himself." ”

Lian Jiuqi frowned and said, "You want to tell me that my ancestral house is in danger?" ”

Wu Zi'an still shook his head: "I don't know what he will do next." ”

Tang Qianrou opened her mouth and asked, "I don't understand, what is his ultimate goal?" Is all this done to find the strange gate, or to find the location of the miracle? ”

Wu Zi'an still shook his head: "Don't ask me, I don't know, I'm tired, the reason why I tell you this is just because I'm tired, I've played this game all my life, and I don't want to play it anymore, we were all played by Qian Xiuye, and he controlled it for a lifetime." ”

Xingshu looked at Lian Jiuqi: "Mr. Lian, what do you think should be done?" ”

Lian Jiuqi asked the torture technique rhetorically: "What do you think?" ”

Xingshu looked at Wu Zi'an, Wu Zi'an handed him the Sealing Knife, and he held it in his hand: "Anyway, take out the key first." ”

Angu was stupid, turned around and was about to run up, but was dragged back by the Modui Bridge, but Wu Zi'an slowly walked back alone, Gulal and Victor glanced at each other, Victor took two steps to stop Wu Zi'an, and Gulal asked: "Since you don't have any divine power, how did Hai Sen come back to life?" ”

"The wrath of the witch god, that's a medicine." Wu Zi'an turned around and looked at him, "As for what that medicine is for, if you ask about the torture technique, he should know better than me." ”

Tang Qianrou was stunned: "In those years of the company, it took great pains to study the wrath of the witch god, in fact, just to be able to control the remnants of the Bohai Sea here?" What kind of drugs are used to disguise themselves as so-called miracles? ”

Wu Zi'an smiled bitterly: "Then what do you think? This is Qian Xiuye's small and broad, in other words, maybe the prophet also used this way to show miracles, no one knows the past, no one can go back to the past, right? ”

Gulal asked, "What is Heysen?" Living? Dead person? ”

Wu Zi'an looked up: "The living dead, zombies, whatever you want to define, in short, if you don't feed him that kind of medicine regularly, he will slowly dry up and die, but even if he keeps feeding, at a certain time, he will still die, he was always a human being, what you want to do later, I can't control." ”

Wu Zi'an said, slowly walking towards it, Victor didn't stop him anymore, just looked at Gulal.

Now it makes no sense to delve into Wu Zi'an's purpose in doing this, as well as the true thoughts in his heart, maybe it is really as he said, he is tired, he has only now seen clearly, everything in the past, the greed that used to be, in the end has become empty and tired, which is why he thinks that Zheng Cangqiong and Chen Taidong's early choice is the right one - only the two of them can see the future clearly, and see clearly the helplessness and unknown hidden under the surface.

Torture Shu carried the Sealing Sword, looked at the entrance, and asked Tang Qianrou, "What should you do?" ”

Tang Qianrou looked at Ah Le, Ah Le shook his head slightly, Tang Qianrou said: "We want to leave here, I promised him, I quit, in fact, I already know everything I want to know, but I have a small request." ”

Torture said: "Say." ”

Tang Qiansoft said: "One day, if you find Qimen and know what is in it, you must write an email to tell me." After speaking, Tang Qianrou told her email address to the torture technique.

Afterwards, Ah Le and Tang Qianrou also walked up the stairs to leave, and when they left, Ah Le walked up to Gulal and said, "Let's go, there is no point in staying any longer." ”

Gulal shook his head: "I haven't gotten the reward I deserve, you should be happy, if it weren't for that old man, I would definitely not let you go, this is what you owe us, dozens of lives, how much is it worth, you calculate it yourself." ”

Ah Le regretted: "Gulal, human life is priceless. ”

"So, I have to get paid." Gural stepped aside, "If you want to go, go quickly, or I may regret it." ”

Ah Le led Tang Qianrou up the stairs, and it wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared above that the torture technique took the lead into the cave.

……

Harbin, Hulan, even the ancestral home of Jiuqi.

The night, minus 35 degrees, this is the coldest night in Harbin since the beginning of winter.

Yu Zhongyuan, as before, carried a lantern and took a flashlight to patrol the snow-covered courtyard, shining a flashlight on the wall to make sure that no one had climbed there, and then turned around and slowly returned to the boiler room that had been converted from a livestock shed.

The heating in the entire ancestral house is provided by this boiler room, because there are some things in it, if the temperature is kept below zero, it will freeze and crack, so for decades, as long as it is winter, Yu Zhongyuan will stay in this boiler room, paying attention to the temperature in the room at any time.

When Yu Zhongyuan walked to the door of the boiler room, he heard something fall in the courtyard, he slowly turned around, raised the flashlight and shone it, but only saw half of the footprints in the snow that were not too clear, and the footprints were soon covered by snowflakes falling from the sky.

Yu Zhongyuan smiled, did not enter the boiler room, but walked to the main house in the middle through the eaves, hung the lantern next to it, took out the key to open the lock, picked up the three sticks of incense and lit it, and incense the ancestors of the Helian family.

Just as he was kowtowing to incense, a person appeared at the door, and the figure slowly spread on the floor of the main house through the light of the lantern, covering the back of Yu Zhongyuan, who was leaning over and kowtowing.

Yu Zhongyuan kowtowed, and after inserting the incense, he didn't turn around, just looked at the tablet, and said, "Since you are here, show your identity, don't be so mysterious." ”

The visitor chuckled lightly and walked into the ancestral house, and it was none other than Qian Xiuye.

Yu Zhongyuan turned sideways slightly, glanced at Qian Xiuye, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the king of Youzhou, after so many years, you finally showed up, did you not find what was hidden here, there was really no way, so you showed up to ask me?" ”

Qian Xiuye stood there with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Over the years, it's not that I haven't found anything, I found your past identity and found your family, you shouldn't know, right?" Your grandson is already married, he got married not long ago, your granddaughter-in-law is very beautiful, and the unit is not bad, you don't want all this to be broken, right? ”

Yu Zhongyuan turned around and looked at Qian Xiuye: "Threat? ”

"Yes." Qian Xiuye said lightly, not denying his despicable deeds, "I have thought of five of the most tragic ways to end your family's happiness and ensure that they are worse off than dead, believe me, I have this ability." ”

Yu Zhongyuan nodded: "So, Jiuqi was framed back then, and you were the one behind the scenes?" ”

Qian Xiuye said: "Knowingly asked. ”

"Nope." Yu Zhongyuan said, "I really don't know, even Zheng Cangqiong doesn't know, let alone me." ”

Qian Xiuye said: "Yes, the relationship between you and Zheng Cangqiong is not even clear to Jiuqi himself, let alone the secret of his Helian family, in fact, it is on you, I also took a lot of effort to find the lost genealogy of the Helian family, and only then did I find the clues, I wonder, why does the Helian family have a servant's name written into the genealogy for generations?" It's weird. ”

Yu Zhongyuan just looked at Qian Xiuye, and at the same time slowly rolled up his cuffs.

Qian Xiuye continued: "I tried to start with the domestic servants who could investigate, that is, the first two generations before you, and found that the strange thing is that the identity of these people is either prisoners, or people who have committed crimes and repented, because they are not repentant people, they will not accept their fate to be a domestic servant in Helian's family, especially after liberation, but I wonder, why didn't I find any domestic servants in Helian's family during the ten-year turmoil, that is, the year when Lian Jiuqi's parents died? Then I thought of you, your neighbor of the Helian family, a good neighbor who hadn't moved in decades. ”

Yu Zhongyuan still didn't say a word, just stared at Qian Xiuye with cold eyes.

"Could you be the servant of the Helian family? I began to investigate you, although it was only a few years ago that I started to investigate you, but there was a surprising result, your father turned out to be a spy who had been lurking before the liberation, and you were also influenced by your father since childhood, unfortunately, your father and his so-called brothers, were mysteriously killed one night, and you began to be helpless, at this time, a person appeared, this person raised you, and your adoptive father was the servant of the Helian family of the previous generation. Qian Xiuye's face finally had a smile, "Your adoptive father found your son as a spy in order to cultivate a successor, if your father and his accomplices don't die, your fate will be miserable, of course, your adoptive father's best friend at that time was Zheng Cangqiong, I didn't expect it at all, Zheng Cangqiong and he would ......."

Qian Xiuye laughed as he spoke, shaking his head while laughing, his face full of puzzlement: "He has no selfishness, no **, how can there be such a person in the world?" The secret of Qimen is placed in front of him, and he doesn't even reach out to take it, but chooses to protect it? Yu Zhongyuan, do you believe that there are selfless people in this world? ”

Yu Zhongyuan said lightly: "I believe, if I don't believe this, there is no way to protect the Helian family for so many years." ”

Qian Xiuye looked at Yu Zhongyuan's rolled up cuffs: "What?" Want to get your hands dirty? ”

Yu Zhongyuan still said in a flat tone: "If necessary, ......"

Qian Xiuye walked to the chair on the side, brushed off the dust with his sleeve, and then sat down: "I'm not here to fight, I don't like to use force, I just want to know, what is the secret left by the Cast Iron Immortal, because this secret was not told to anyone from the Helian family, but only to the servants who were carrying human lives and hiding in the Helian family, which is also the mastery of the Cast Iron Immortal, so that no matter how much attention is paid to the Helian family, how to monitor, how to force the question, I will never get anything, now I will ask you again." What's the secret? If you can't answer, your family will lose their happiness overnight. ”

"It's you who lost your happiness overnight, King Youzhou, Senior Brother Qian." Chen Taidong's voice came from outside the house, and then Chen Taidong walked in slowly with his hands behind his back, looking at Qian Xiuye with contempt.

Qian Xiuye was very surprised and surprised, although there was a trace of panic, but the panic was fleeting, and he smiled: "It turned out to be Taidong." ”

Chen Taidong sat on the chair opposite Qian Xiuye, with Yu Zhongyuan standing in the middle.

Chen Taidong said: "The people you sent out have all been finished, Senior Brother Zheng had long expected that you would do this, so he had already made arrangements, those minions of yours are now in the hands of the police, although they don't know the names of their employers, but their identities and the murder weapons they carry, as well as what they are about to do, are enough for them to live in prison for a long time." ”

Qian Xiuye took out his snuffbox and smoked: "It's interesting that you guys have joined forces with the police." ”

"You know." Chen Taidong said coldly, "You have been staring at us, and you don't have any chips in your hand now, so if you want to find the secret of the Helian family, even if they find something in Kuhan City, it is impossible to hand it over to you." ”

Qian Xiuye laughed: "That's not necessarily, since I dare to let them go, then naturally I have my arrangement, what's the matter?" Are you planning to capture me alive today? Did you pack up all the people I brought? ”

Chen Taidong smiled: "What do you think? ”

In the snow outside the house, eight people wearing cold-proof clothes and holding sharp weapons were lying there horizontally, and one person slowly stepped over their bodies, and at the same time put away the telescopic stick in his hand and looked at the ancestral house of Lian Jiuqi in the distance.

At this time, another person walked out of the woods next to him, shaking the snow on his body as he walked, and at the moment he walked out, a person jumped out of the woods, and directly raised his hand to hug him, the man turned around and hit the pouncer in the face with an elbow, kicked it away with another kick, and continued to pat the snow on his trouser legs, and said: "I really don't know whether to live or die, hey, Yan Gang, have you cleaned up?" ”

Yan Gang, who was holding a telescopic stick, turned around, looked at Wu Zhihai who was coming, and glanced at the ground around him again: "Call 110, call the patrol to drag them away, or they won't freeze to death." ”

Wu Zhihai made a call, and then asked, "Are we going in?" ”

"No, don't forget, we are taking money to do things this time, we have to talk about the rules, you are not a police officer now, we have to think about the employer." Yan Gang stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at the courtyard in the distance, "However, Old Man Zheng was able to invite 'Master Zu' out of the mountain, it seems that the face is really big, I didn't expect it." ”

Wu Zhihai nodded: "Yes, as soon as Master Zu came forward, he nodded, made a phone call, and all came out in black and white to check the whereabouts of this Qian Xiuye, and he found it out in half a day, alas, it would be good if I could be like this in my life." ”

Yan Gang was silent, just looking at the courtyard worriedly.

A few kilometers away from the courtyard, on a frozen pier on the bank of the Songhua River, in a cruise ship that was hoisted up and away from the ice, Zheng Cangqiong was eating hot pot and drinking tea, waiting for Chen Taidong's "good news".

A lamp that was not too bright hung on the top of the hot pot, and the wind blowing in through the cracks in the hull caused the lamp to swing lightly from side to side, making the whole cabin flicker.

The man sitting in the darkness opposite Zheng Cangqiong was rolling a cigarette, then lit a match, and said with a smile: "I thought that you and I really had a friendship for one meal, but now I look at it, it has changed to two meals." ”

Zheng Cangqiong held the bowl and said with a smile: "This meal is a hot pot, and the previous meal was just a fire." ”

"Fire is also food, without your fire, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." The man's face appeared in the light, he looked no more than in his early sixties, much younger than Zheng Cangqiong, his face was full of perseverance, and he seemed to be born with the word justice.

This person is Tang Shouzheng, the "ancestral master" in Yan Gang and Wu Zhihai's mouth - the so-called ancestral master is just a nickname given by everyone, not a generation.

Tang Shouzheng is known as the first detective outside the Guan, since the day he became a policeman, he has solved countless strange cases, the most regrettable thing in this life is that he did not crack the cult case of Guan Zhiqing that year, this time Zheng Cangqiong also used this as a reason to find Tang Shouzheng and tell him that his apprentice's torture technique has solved the secret that has been sealed for decades.

After Tang Shouzheng listened, he lit a cigarette, and Zheng Cangqiong found that his tears flowed, and he also knew that he was using that cigarette to hide the regret in his heart and his sadness about the truth of the case.

"The reason why I didn't want to be a consultant anymore and didn't want to ask questions anymore was because, in fact, every case is a tragedy, and there are no exceptions." Tang Shouzheng smoked a cigarette and said slowly, "Isn't the death of your apprentice also a tragedy?" You can choose to say it, I don't know whether to praise you or scold you, in short, at least the knot is opened, right? As long as Qian Xiuye is arrested, this case is closed, and you can really retire. ”

Zheng Cangqiong put down the bowl, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "Shouzheng, when I knew that Jiuqi was still alive, I knew that this matter was not over, the secret had turned back, and there were still people who had been staring at the secret of the Helian family, I was thinking, what should I do?" After thinking about it, I decided to take a risk and force people again. ”

Tang Shouzheng flicked the cigarette ash: "I'm not a policeman now, you can speak freely, of course, I also have the responsibility to help you, listen to your narration, Qian Xiuye seems to have gathered a group of wicked people, and re-raised the banner of the Great Manichaean Sect Commander Rong Cargo Division, it is not enough to arrest him alone, this organization must be uprooted." ”

"yes, that's what I thought, that's why I decided to take the risk." Zheng Cangqiong picked up the bowl again, rummaged in the pot with chopsticks, found a piece of cooked thick pork belly, picked it up and looked at it, "You say, if I retire and wait for death in prison, will it be better than living in a mental hospital?" ”

Tang Shouzheng also picked up the bowl and picked up a piece of kelp: "Lao Zheng, you are going to take risks, right?" ”

"Wealth is in danger, if everyone knows it, if you want to uproot this organization, you have to take risks." Zheng Cangqiong chewed the pork belly and looked at Tang Shouzheng, "But before that, I have to tell this old policeman, I may break the law, but I will definitely not hurt innocent people, I guarantee it with my character and qualifications." ”

Tang Shouzheng smiled: "It's useless for you to say to me, say to the rules, say to the law, there are some words, I can only pretend that I didn't hear them." ”
