Chapter 18: The Ace
Although Guan Manshan was surprised by the action of the torture technique, his surprised expression was quickly replaced by a smile, but this smile did not last for a second before disappearing, because he clearly saw that the rope binding the torture technique suddenly broke off.
The moment the rope broke and the torture technique fell in the snow, the bear's claws hit the trunk of the tree where the torture technique had been before, and then the bear shook and froze again, and then fell to the ground and stopped moving.
Seeing this scene, Lian Jiuqi, Ma Fei and Sun Wangdong were extremely surprised, Ma Fei was the first to slide down the tree, rushed up and hugged the torture technique, even Jiuqi jumped down, and slowly walked towards the black bear with Sun Wangdong.
Sun Wangdong observed for a while before he was relieved: "It's dead, it's really dead this time." ”
Lian Jiuqi frowned and stepped forward, looked at the torture technique and said, "Why don't you discuss it with us before you do something?" Did you know that it was dangerous to do this, and you almost died! ”
Xingshu looked at Lian Jiuqi apologetically: "I'm sorry, I ......"
"Excuse me?" Lian Jiuqi said angrily, "As soon as your head is hot, you will be enlightened? Don't think about the way back, just do what you say, who do you think you are? If the rope hadn't broken earlier, you'd have died! ”
Sun Wangdong looked up at the broken rope at this time, Ma Fei, who originally wanted to blame the torture technique, saw that Lian Jiuqi reprimanded the torture technique, and was unwilling to say anything, so he got up with the punishment technique and said: "Okay, don't do this in the future, you scared me to death, do you know." ”
The torture technique turned around and looked up at the broken rope: "It's strange, how could the rope break?" ”
Ma Fei looked at the broken rope carefully, and then saw a small hole in the trunk, Ma Fei turned around and looked in a certain direction, his face sank: "There are other people in this forest, and there is also a person with very good marksmanship, maybe more than one!" ”
The others were stunned, and the torture technique immediately dragged Ma Fei and hid behind the trunk, while Sun Wangdong and Lian Jiuqi also immediately hid and did not dare to show their heads.
Ma Fei looked at the dead black bear on the ground: "This person should not be using a bolt-action sniper rifle, it should be a semi-automatic sniper rifle, otherwise, he can't do it, at the moment when he broke the torture rope and helped him avoid the black bear's attack, he shot at the black bear again, you see the blood hole in the black bear's neck, the bullet shot into the back of the black bear's neck, broke the spine, and passed through the throat." ”
Lian Jiuqi glanced at it slightly: "In other words, this sniper fired two shots in a row and saved the torture technique?" Will it be Guan Manshan? ”
Ma Fei said: "Absolutely not, if Guan Manshan doesn't want to kill us, he doesn't need to let this bear out at all." ”
Torture wondered, "Who could that be?" ”
Ma Fei shook his head: "I don't know, in short, it will definitely not be Guan Manshan's friend, of course, I don't think it may be our friend ......" Speaking of this, Ma Fei suddenly remembered something, walked out from behind the trunk, and raised his eyes to look at the broken rope on the tree, "Torture, I know a person who not only has this kind of marksmanship, but also has a direct connection with the Cusco company, and also has an indirect connection with me and you." ”
The torturer immediately asked, "Who?" ”
Ma Fei was just about to speak, but he remembered something, let the torture technique come over, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk too loudly, Guan Manshan can hear it, let's set off first and leave here." ”
Xingshu nodded, like Lian Jiuqi raised his head, and the four of them immediately packed their things and walked forward.
Guan Manshan in the fortress, after hearing Ma Fei's last words and seeing Ma Fei whispering in the ear of the torture technique, he did not call up other pictures, but sat there thinking and thinking.
Obviously, the rope was broken by the sniper, and the sniper also gave the bear a fatal blow, although the bear would not have survived if he was beaten by a shotgun at close range, but if it wasn't for the sniper, the torture would have been dead.
Who is that sniper? Who else is here? Why didn't I find out? Guan Manshan's mind was full of questions.
Guan Manshan slid his chair, sat in front of the computer next to him to store data, and called up all the personnel information about the Cusco company that he bought with his money, of course, most of these personnel information were leaked out after the important cadres of Cusco were eliminated, and some of them were bought from other treasure hunting companies that had cooperated with Cusco.
Guan Manshan spent half a year just sorting out these materials, and he strictly classified them according to gender, age, and whether he was a soldier, and that sniper must have been from a military background, and a civilian person, no matter how good his marksmanship is, he can't reach that level.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Manshan narrowed down the scope and selected the elite of Cusco Company, and finally his target was Bai Boran and Li Yucheng.
"It's definitely not Li Yucheng." Guan Manshan pointed at the screen with a pen, "That's you, Mr. Bai Boran, since you are here, then Team A of the BM team must all be here, Qian Xiuye, you originally took Major Ruan and them as victims, but you miscalculated, you didn't expect to die, Team A would actually save the torture, right?" ”
Guan Manshan threw away the pen after speaking: "Okay, great, this game is getting more and more fun." ”
In front of the snow cave, after Bai Boran saw Xingshu and the others walking into the distance, he moved his position, handed the sniper rifle back to Qi Feng, and said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I act as an observer and a vigilance?" Why did you let me touch this thing again? ”
Qi Feng said with a smile: "Among the three of us, your marksmanship is the best, it should be said that in the company before, your marksmanship was the best, if you don't come, who will come." ”
Guan Shengjie got up slowly: "We have all started to plan for the next step, those two shots just now, not only did they discover us, Guan Manshan must have also known about our existence, and we have been completely exposed." ”
Bai Boran sat next to him and drank water: "Boss, I really don't understand, why do you want to save them?" ”
Guan Shengjie said: "I'm not here to save the torture, I'm here to save Ma Fei, this is called leaving a way back." ”
"Back?" Qi Feng was stunned for a moment, "Boss, don't you want to turn yourself in?" ”
Guan Shengjie let out a breath: "It's not a surrender, it's a deal, a dirty deal, it should be said, it's not dirty for us, but for Interpol or something, that's a dirty deal, now for Interpol, the most important thing for them is to destroy the organization of Cusco Company and arrest Qian Xiuye, the mastermind behind the scenes, as for the three of us, in comparison, they are small fish and shrimp." ”
Qi Feng nodded: "Makes sense, boss, what are you going to do?" ”
"Do you know why, for so many years, I have been very opposed to killing those innocent people, at first it was just to do reconnaissance work, even when we fought with mercenaries, or those rebel forces, I also adhered to a rule of absolutely not harming unarmed people, firstly, we don't need to do things so desperately, and secondly, it is also for ourselves to leave a way back." Guan Shengpeng sat there and lit a cigarette, "Do you remember the batch of famous paintings we helped Ma Fei get in Russia last time?" You always ask me why you did that, why did you do that when you knew that Maffei might be undercover, now you understand? Maffei is an important witness, and she can prove that the three of us, no matter what, have a conscience. ”
Bai Boran smiled: "Big brother, I really admire you sometimes, you usually don't follow the boss's methods in the company, and over time, you have a good reputation for your personality, and the boss doesn't blame you, your emotional intelligence is really high." ”
Guan Shengjie said with a smile: "It's because I don't have high emotional intelligence that I came up with such a solution, if I had high emotional intelligence, I would have been a deputy next to the boss a long time ago, how could I work hard with you on the front line every day, do you remember the first time we performed a mission?" It's ...... at sea."
Guan Shengjie smoked a cigarette and easily recalled the past with Qi Feng and Bai Boran, and the three of them talked and laughed, unimpressed by everything that was about to happen now.
And in an old Japanese army bunker in the mountains, Xingju, Lian Jiuqi and Sun Manshan, who were resting, checked that there were no listening devices in the bunker, and only then did Ma Fei finish what he had not said before.
"Bai Boran, the sniper I'm talking about is Bai Boran, torture, you've seen him." Ma Fei looked at the torture and said, "During the Tiandifu incident, the three of them went with me, they were members of Group A of the BMW team of the Cusco company, the elite of the elite, on the surface, the identities of the three people are very simple, Guan Shengjie is a ranger, Bai Boran is a sniper of the French Foreign Legion, and Qi Feng is a pilot of the 10th Mountain Division, all of whom are Chinese-Americans, but I tried to investigate their identities and found that in the troops they called, the names of their three retired officers and soldiers did not exist at all. ”
Lian Jiuqi leaned to the side and asked, "Who are they?" ”
Maffei ate the leftover biscuits: "I later tried to ask a friend I knew to go to the relevant tribes in the United States to investigate these three people, and found that the investigation still showed that they were still in the Rangers, the French Foreign Legion and the 10th Mountain Division, which is very contradictory, the army can inquire about the information of the retired personnel, but there are no three people in the information at all, on the contrary, in the files of the Investigation Bureau, it shows that these three people have falsified information, what does this mean?" ”
Xingshu thought for a while: "These three are people from the U.S. government?" ”
Ma Fei shook his head: "It's similar, the weirdest thing is that Interpol followed up on Cusco's case this time, especially when we came back, they didn't mention these three people at all in their information to Fu Mingwei, they just said that these three people, they will follow up nearby, so there is no need to provide information to the Chinese side, isn't it strange?" ”
Lian Jiuqi said: "It's really weird, what do you mean?" ”
Torture said: "Witness." ”
Lian Jiuqi frowned: "Witness? Are you saying these three guys are going to turn back? Selling money to repair your own business? So, in order to get their key testimony, the U.S. side and Interpol modified their backgrounds for them and concealed things from the past? Like something like a witness protection program? ”
Ma Fei nodded: "Yes, but the background of these three people is more than that. ”
Lian Jiuqi said: "Indeed, I was also curious about them, because Qian Xiuye trusted Group A very much, and it could even be said that it was completely indulgent Group A's behavior, no matter what they did, Qian Xiuye would not interfere more, of course, the other one was originally, all the tasks assigned by Qian Xiuye, Group A has never missed, at this point, from the past to the present, only me and Group A have completed the task perfectly." ”
"What about the other groups?" ”
"Although the other groups are also very good, Qian Xiuye is very worried about them." Lian Jiuqi recalled seriously, "I remember that Qian Xiuye sent me to monitor one of the groups at that time, and since then, I have found out that he will take turns to send people to monitor the other members of the BM team on vacation, but I have never heard him monitor Group A. ”
Ma Fei said: "Could it be that Group A took the money to study?" ”
Torture said: "Impossible, if Group A had pinched Qian Xiuye's handle, he would have died a long time ago, Qian Xiuye is not the kind of person who will be threatened, even if he didn't have a chance to kill them back then, this time Qian Xiuye would definitely kill the people of Group A first, not only did he not do this, but also sent Group A over, I think, Qian Xiuye must have used the previous mercenary force as bait, let us fight to the death with the mercenaries and Guan Manshan, and then Group A will sweep the tail and confirm the completion of the task, or, Group A is Qian Xiuye's trump card in this mission. ”
Lian Jiuqi pondered for a while: "In other words, in addition to dealing with mercenaries and Guan Manshan, we now have to deal with Group A of the BM team?" ”
Ma Fei and Xingshu nodded, and Lian Jiuqi sighed: "Since Guan Manshan is unwilling to cooperate with us, and Qian Xiuye also regards him as a thorn in his side, then we can withdraw and leave them alone." ”
Sun Wangdong heard Lian Jiuqi say this, and immediately agreed: "I also think so, it's too dangerous here, let's go down the mountain, we can't go back the same way, I'll take you around a distance, let's go during the day, find a place to rest at night, at most five days, we can go to the railway section, and then it will be simple." ”
Ma Fei looked at the torture technique, but the torture technique raised his eyes to look at Lian Jiuqi and asked, "Dad, do you think you can do it?" Since Guan Manshan wants us to play games with him, he won't let us go easily, this is his territory, he spent two years arranging this mountain, and because he killed those hired technicians, in addition, those mercenaries before were not waste, they couldn't get out, let alone us. ”
This time, Xingshu did not quarrel with Lian Jiuqi, and called "Dad" at the beginning, this is the second time in his life that Xingshu has called Lian Jiuqi this title, which is enough to show that he is talking to Lian Jiuqi in a completely calm state.
Lian Jiuqi thought for a moment and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Xingshu raised his eyes and looked at Sun Wangdong: "Old Sun, thank you for bringing us, we will hand over some of the remaining dry food and other things to you, you take a detour and go back first, Guan Manshan shouldn't do anything to you, after all, if he wanted to kill you, he would have killed you a long time ago, and, in his mind, you are also one of the accomplices, do you know what I mean?" ”
Sun Wangdong didn't know what to say, so he said for a long time: "I know, I know you are not policemen." ”
Xingshu pointed at Lian Jiuqi and himself: "My dad and I are not policemen, but she is." Torture looked at Ma Fei again, "In short, no matter what, the police will eventually look for you, you can't escape, but I think, if you explain everything clearly, you shouldn't be punished too severely, but if you choose to escape, you are a wanted criminal, and you can only spend the rest of your life on the run, if you are caught, the sentence for you will be aggravated, I am done, you go, think about it on the way back." ”
Sun Wangdong finally nodded for a long time, picked up the backpack that Ma Fei had stuffed him with, walked to the door of the fortification, stopped again, and said for a long time: "Below, it is estimated that there is really a general's tomb, which Guan Manshan told me personally." ”
Torture got up: "What? Saying it to you personally? What are the original words? ”
Sun Wangdong exhaled: "Actually, he didn't want me to know what he was doing, so he told me that he was here to hunt for treasures, and he used this to cover up, and gave me the string of beads, I really didn't know the value of that thing at the beginning, but now I know, so I know better that he is completely unwary of me." ”
Xingshu shook his head: "You are wrong, he is testing you, if one day, you know the value of the bead, maybe you will go to him, you will threaten him, and then he will kill you, do you know what I mean?" ”
Sun Wangdong shook his head slowly, not understanding what the torture technique was talking about.
Torture waved at him, "You go, stay safe." ”
After Sun Wangdong left and disappeared into the woods, Ma Fei asked, "What did you mean by what you said just now?" What does it mean to know the value of the bead before Sun Wangdong kills him? ”
Lian Jiuqi stood behind Ma Fei and explained: "Sun Wangdong is a hunter in the remote mountainous area no matter what, after all, he knows little, relatively speaking, he should be simple, give a little sweetness to make him shut up, Guan Manshan gave him beads, one is to let him attract people, the other is to test him, is he the kind of person who is too greedy, if he is, really is, and particularly brainless, he will take the beads to Guan Manshan, threaten Guan Manshan and say that if he is not given more, he will tell Guan Manshan about Guan Manshan." ”
Ma Fei nodded: "Understood, that is, before everything really started, the torture technique curbed the final development of this matter, right?" ”
Xingshu looked at Ma Fei and said, "Do you believe it?" If we come all the way and don't see the corpse and don't meet the bear, Sun Wangdong is very likely to cooperate with Guan Manshan and betray us at a critical moment, and it is also very likely that after betraying us, he will ask Guan Manshan for more, I am saving him, because people are greedy, just like when they first debuted......"
Xingshu said and sat down for a while, drinking hot coffee: "I didn't know how to chase goods and the like at that time, I only knew that I could make money, people are like that, when I don't have money, I thought, if I can earn more than 100,000 a year, and then earn, it is 100,000 at a time, and I will think, if I can earn 500,000 a year, who knows, in the second year I entered the industry, I made more than 2 million, but I was still not satisfied, at this time, my master asked me, asked me how many lives people have, and I just woke up." ”
Lian Jiuqi nodded: "Yes, I have a similar experience." ”
Ma Fei smiled: "I'm curious, how did you wake up?" ”
Torture also smiled: "When you know that you have the ability to make money at any time, you can understand the importance of your own life, of course, there is another way, when you escape from the gate of the underworld." When most people are poor and helpless, they will be willing to exchange their lives for money, because people at that time think that they have nothing but their lives. People, if you want to understand a truth, you can't listen to people, you must understand it yourself. ”
