When the wild apple grove appeared in front of the torture technique, it was already evening.

The dense fruit forests, the dense graves in the fruit forests, and the cool breeze blowing from the mountains make people shudder.

She Caixiang and Sikong Yan stood at the end, looking at the apple forest from afar, and had no intention of stepping forward again.

"Hey, who's that, torture." Sikong Yan shouted from behind, "This is the wild apple forest that Liu Xiangui said, right?" ”

Xingshu turned to look at Sikong Yan's appearance, glanced at She Caixiang next to him, and nodded: "It should be here." ”

Chen Taidong, who had already walked to the edge of the apple forest, squatted in front of a grave bag to check, while Ma Fei raised his camera and took pictures around.

Sikong Yan glanced at She Caixiang, and shouted: "It's about to get dark, let's go to the mountains again, it is estimated that we can't find a place to live, it is better to turn around and go back, find a farmer's house to live overnight, and discuss what to do tomorrow!" ”

Xingshu shook his head: "What are you talking about, I can't hear it clearly, can you get closer?" ”

Sikong Yan and Xingshu kept a distance of at least a few tens of meters, and when he heard Xingshu say this, he actually took out his mobile phone, and almost called Xingshu directly, but after She Caixiang slowly stepped forward, Sikong Yan pinched the phone, and the boss reluctantly followed her forward and came to Xingshu's side.

She Caixiang said: "Torture, Sikong Yan is right, let's go inside, there is no place to live, why don't you turn back?" ”

Maffei, who took the photo, immediately objected: "Go back, to that village, there are at least two hours away." ”

She Caixiang subconsciously said: "You're not afraid of entering the mountain?" ”

Ma Fei looked at her: "What's there to be afraid of?" ”

She Caixiang was dissatisfied: "You are not afraid, it doesn't mean that others are not afraid, who will enter the mountain at night?" ”

"I will!" Ma Fei looked at She Caixiang with strange eyes, "No one asked you to come with you, you have to go back, go back by yourself, Sikong Yan can also accompany you." ”

Chen Taidong got up at this time: "Torture, there is a problem with the grave bag here." ”

"I can see it too." ”

Chen Taidong pointed to the wild apple forest: "In this forest, there are dozens of grave bags, large and small, and the smallest grave bag seems to only bury animals such as cats and dogs, which is unreasonable." ”

The torture technique untied the folding shovel on the backpack, Sikong Yan looked at it, and immediately said, "Hey, what are you going to do?" It's not going to dig a grave, is it? ”

Chen Taidong nodded and said, "Dig it, how do you know what's in it if you don't dig it?" ”

Sikong Yan grabbed the wrist of the torture technique: "If someone knows that you dig a grave, people can't kill you?" ”

The torturer stuck a folding shovel on top of a grave bag and prepared to do it: "What if it's not a grave? ”

She Caixiang was silent, just frowned and watched, Sikong Yan saw that the only person who could support him, he didn't speak, and simply let go of the hand of the torture technique and stood on She Caixiang's side. ‘

Xingshu, Chen Taidong and Ma Fei waved a folding shovel, first dug up the smallest grave, and then dug down nearly half a meter, but there was nothing, and then they found a slightly larger grave bag, according to Chen Taidong's proposal, dig from the inclined plane, which can be relatively labor-saving.

When the second grave was dug up, it was the same as the previous one, there was nothing, except for the earth, which was some ordinary stones of irregular shape.

The torture technique shook off the dirt on the folding shovel: "No need to dig anymore, it looks like there is no real grave bag in this forest." ”

Sikong Yan didn't know: "What do you mean?" Why pile up fake grave bags here? ”

Chen Taidong pointed to the back of the forest: "Go inside, that is, to the direction of Qingliangou, here is surrounded by mountains on all sides, some are high and some are short, it belongs to the hilly area with particularly complex terrain, the nearest village from here, it takes at least two hours to walk, and it is under the premise of not resting." ”

Ma Fei calculated: "At the speed of our arrival, it will take at least three and a half hours." ”

Chen Taidong nodded: "Yes, in this kind of place, if there is no wild apple forest, we have to find the entrance to the mountain, it is very difficult, you see, if we climb directly towards the mountain on the left, we have to climb over the mountain forest behind this forest, it is basically impossible, and it is easy to get lost if we go to other places." ”

Xingshu looked at the fake grave bags: "So, this apple forest is like a road sign, and the tomb bag is just a prop used to scare people next to the road sign." ”

She Caixiang asked: "If the apple grove is a signpost, then isn't there no silver three hundred taels here?" Tell people there's something wrong with it. ”

"Look around again." Ma Fei pointed to the south, "There is a date grove under the mountain over there, and a peach grove below the mountain stream opposite. As he spoke, Muffy jumped on another stone and pointed to the far right, "This side is also an apple grove, surrounded by fruit trees, and the terrain is complicated, even ordinary farmers will not come, because wild fruits are not necessarily sweet, and they will not be interested in this place if they can't pick them for cash." ”

Xingshu looked around: "Someone deliberately set up a * array here, but judging from the size and appearance of these fruit trees, it should be a bit old." ”

Sikong Yan asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Xingshu explained: "As the saying goes, three apricots and four pears are five years, this sentence refers to the time when these fruit trees will reach the year of abundant fruit, roughly speaking, the lifespan of these fruit trees is about thirty years, and only some of them will have a long lifespan, such as apricot trees, in Liu Xiangui's recollections, they came here decades ago, when the wild apple forest was full of fruit, in other words, it was probably the fourth or fifth year of the wild apple forest planted here, because now this fruit forest has no signs of fruiting, In other words, the peak fruit period has passed, and now it is the dead fruit period. ”

After hearing this, Sikong Yan immediately said, "How do you know that there is no result?" It's not autumn again, and everyone knows this thing has to bear fruit in autumn. ”

Torture pointed to the ground in the woods: "If it bears fruit, this place is deserted, there will definitely be fruit falling on the ground, even if it is wind and rain, there will be something left, you take a closer look, what is there besides dirt, weeds and fallen leaves?" ”

She Caixiang nodded: "Okay, even if these are correct, it shows that there are indeed people who don't want Qingliangou to be exposed, and it also shows that we must not enter at night, it is very dangerous." ”

Torture nodded: "Raise your hand to vote......"

Before the torture was finished, She Caixiang immediately said, "No! Does this still need a vote? The three of you just said that you want to enter the mountain, and we are doomed, and this matter has to be viewed from the overall situation. ”

Xingshu sighed, lifted his backpack and walked towards the woods, Ma Fei glanced at She Caixiang, followed behind Xingshu, and Chen Taidong also slowly stepped forward.

She Caixiang and Sikong Yan glanced at each other, and Sikong Yan immediately said, "Anyway, I don't want to go into the mountain at night." ”

She Caixiang pondered for a long time and stomped her feet: "Then go back by yourself." ”

She Caixiang raised her feet and left, and Sikong Yan was directly dumbfounded: "Hey, what do you mean?" How did you get so fast? Hey, wait for me! ”

While Xingshu and the others crossed the apple forest into the mountain, Lian Jiuqi and Zheng Cangqiong, who were hundreds of kilometers away, had already arrived at the long-distance bus station, bought tickets, and waited in the waiting hall to get on the bus.

Zheng Cangqiong looked at the ticket in his hand and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you rent a car?" That would be a lot faster. ”

Lian Jiuqi looked at it four times: "The goal is too big, Master, you still don't know the people of the Cusco company, for decades, they have recruited a lot of professionals, many of them have joined the army, and some have also participated in the war, these people, for money, dare to do anything." ”

Zheng Cangqiong frowned: "But this is China." ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "The reason why in China, they will use special means, if we rent a car, on the highway, there may be an accident, the probability of this kind of thing happening is 100%, if you take public transportation, they will have some scruples." ”

Zheng Cangqiong nodded slightly: "I hope the torture technique can be slowed down." ”

Lian Jiuqi smiled: "Impossible, he is my son, although I have not raised him, but I know that since it is my son, one of the characteristics of doing things is to be fast!" ”

Zheng Cangqiong didn't object, just sighed.

While the two were chatting, there were a few more men and women outside the waiting hall door, all of them carrying bags and trolley suitcases, and some of them looked exactly like the migrant workers. The man wearing a baseball cap at the head looked at Lian Jiuqi and Zheng Cangqiong sitting there through the floor-to-ceiling glass in the waiting hall, lowered his head and said: "Attention, the target is in the direction of seven o'clock, let the people below disperse, don't do it first after getting into the car, clear other obstacles first." ”

A few people who were pretending to be doing other things around immediately dispersed after listening. At the same time as they dispersed, a man with a beard, a hat, and a driver's uniform also slowly walked into the waiting hall, went straight to the platform from the staff passage next to him, and then quickly got on the train and sat in the driver's seat.

Zheng Cangqiong raised his eyes to look at the big clock hanging in the waiting hall and asked, "What has Cusco done for so many years?" How did the power become so big? ”

Lian Jiuqi said: "In the first few years, the sunken ships were salvaged on the high seas, according to international conventions, so that there is no need to pay taxes, but the premise is that the salvaged shipwrecks must belong to ships that cannot be distinguished from nationality, so they signed agreements with relevant countries at the beginning, so that they can not only reasonably avoid taxes, but also get relevant support from the government, and the most important thing is that they can get 50% to 80% of the sunken profits, and if the items on the sunken ship are sold in the countries that signed the contract, the tax points can be reduced to a minimum." ”

Zheng Cangqiong nodded: "And it can also launder money." ”

"Yes, Cusco did it in the first few years, because antique money laundering is by far the most difficult to trace." Lian Jiuqi looked at the magazine in his hand, "And they are all laundering money for some politicians, so that the company has a protective umbrella, interests are linked, and they all pinch each other's handles, everyone is in the same boat, and if something happens, they will work together to solve it." ”

Zheng Cangqiong asked again: "Is that one named Hunter particularly methodical?" ”

Lian Jiuqi chuckled: "Quite a way, I don't know anything about him, I know that he once boasted to people in the bar, his ancestor back then, during the Republic of China, was the British consul in Shanghai, and later had any relationship with the governor of Hong Kong, I investigated, I can't find anything, I don't know if it's true, anyway, he is very good at dealing with those politicians." ”

Zheng Cangqiong raised his eyes and looked at the clock: "It's time, let's get in the car." ”

Lian Jiuqi carried something and walked towards the entrance of the platform with Zheng Cangqiong, and at the same time, the man wearing a baseball cap also immediately stepped forward, and as soon as he moved, other people who had already been planted also stepped forward one after another.

After Lian Jiuqi and Zheng Cangqiong boarded the bus, Lian Jiuqi walked towards the back of the car, because they bought the ticket at the very end, only in this way could they have a full view of the entire carriage and would not be attacked by the enemy.

But before sitting down, Lian Jiuqi deliberately sat in the wrong position and sat in the penultimate row.

Zheng Cangqiong understood what he was going to do, and sat quietly in his place, flipping through the magazine before Lian Jiuqi.

Not long after Lian Jiuqi sat down, a pair of men and women came over, looked at the tickets, and looked at Lian Jiuqi again.

The man asked, "Friend, are you sitting on the wrong seat?" ”

Lian Jiuqi raised his eyes to look at the man, ignored him, and continued to organize his bag.

The man and woman looked at each other, and the woman asked, "Sir, you are sitting in the wrong place!" ”

Lian Jiuqi didn't even raise his head this time, the man and the woman looked puzzled, and finally the woman shook her head, and the two had to stand there in embarrassment, and then the man turned around and sat next to Zheng Cangqiong, while the woman sat next to Lian Jiuqi.

Not long after the two of them sat down, the man in the baseball cap, who had witnessed everything, cursed in a low voice in front of him: "Idiot! ”

At this moment, Lian Jiuqi suddenly got up, walked up to the man, took out the ticket, and said coldly: "Hey, you are sitting in the wrong place!" ”

The man looked up at Lian Jiuqi, didn't say a word, took the things and returned to the seat where Lian Jiuqi had sat down before, which should have belonged to him.

Lian Jiuqi sat down, turned on his phone, and quickly wrote a line on his phone - [There is a problem with these two people. ]

Zheng Cangqiong said "um", because they found out that there was a problem before boarding the bus, according to common sense, most people will wait at the ticket gate before they arrive at the boarding time, and these people walked over one after another when Zheng Cangqiong and Lian Jiuqi went to the ticket gate.

Moreover, Lian Jiuqi deliberately sat in the wrong position, just to test whether the person closest to their seat was a ghost? If a person sits in the wrong position, and the attitude is very indifferent, the person who should be sitting here will be very angry, and even if he does not move, he will loudly question and reprimand.

However, the pair of men and women behaved extremely calmly, with a look of resignation, and actually accepted this fact, and most importantly, after Lian Jiuqi did not give up his seat, the man actually sat directly next to Zheng Cangqiong - as a stranger, how could he know that Lian Jiuqi should sit there? He behaved like a passenger who had already switched seats with Lian Jiuqi, which was quite unnatural.

Of course, these mistakes of men and women were also seen by the man in the baseball cap who led in front, and he knew that they had been exposed, but at this point, they could only act according to the original plan.

Half an hour after the car drove out of Chengdu, when the bus was driving on the Chengmian Expressway and the car was strangely quiet, the man in the baseball cap suddenly got up, walked towards the driver in front of him, and asked loudly: "Master, when will the car arrive?" ”

The driver replied in Sichuanese: "Where are you getting off?" ”

The man replied, "Mianyang." ”

The master replied, "At least one more hour." ”

The man nodded in thanks, and returned to his seat, his previous words were a signal, and after this signal was given, the other people he had planted in the car began to move, and the first thing they did was only one thing, that is, to do everything possible to silently stun all the passengers sitting around them.

Ten minutes later, in addition to the driver who drove the bus, the car was still awake, except for Zheng Cangqiong and Lian Jiuqi, only the man in the baseball cap and the eight killers under him remained.

The man in the baseball cap got up, took out a dagger and slowly stood in front of the driver who was driving, and at the same time as his two subordinates walked towards Lian Jiuqi and Zheng Cangqiong, he took out a knife and put it on the driver's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't stop if anything happens, keep driving!" ”

The driver was shocked, glanced at him slightly, swallowed his saliva, and nodded again.

"One, two, three......" Lian Jiuqi suddenly got up, stood there, stretched out his hand and counted the people who were still awake in the car, "Nine people, big money, actually sent nine wastes to deal with me." ”

The two people who were about to walk in front of him stopped, their cuffs shook, they clenched the dagger, and looked at Lian Jiuqi coldly, Zheng Cangqiong coughed at this time, and continued to look at the magazine in his hand, pretending that he didn't see or hear anything.

The man in the baseball cap turned sideways, looked at his subordinates who got up one after another, and said in a deep voice: "Do it, remember, clean and neat." ”

Eight killers stepped forward one after another, but in the narrow carriage, they couldn't take any advantage, and they were too far from Lian Jiuqi's skills, in less than five seconds, the first three killers who rushed up were knocked down one after another, and the others immediately panicked, they didn't expect the target to be dealt with so tricky, and someone directly threw the dagger in their hands towards Lian Jiuqi.

Lian Jiuqi easily grabbed the dagger, threw it back gently, and said with a smile: "Come, give you another chance, if you can't throw it again this time, then it's my turn!" ”

The rest of the people looked at each other, and the man in the baseball cap at the front shouted, "What are you waiting for? Let's go together! ”

After the baseball cap man finished shouting, he attacked Jiuqi directly, got up and left his seat, and played all the way, and in less than a while, all the baseball cap's men fell to the ground.

The man glanced around, took off his hat, and said fiercely, "It's a fucking bunch of trash!" ”

With that, he reversed the dagger and patted the driver on the shoulder: "Keep driving!" ”

After hearing this, the driver smiled and replied loudly: "Okay! ”

The man in the baseball cap was startled and realized that there was something wrong with the driver, but the driver turned the steering wheel and drove the car to the emergency lane, and then stepped on the brakes.

The car's sharp turn, coupled with the inertia of the brakes, caused the man to fall directly to the ground, and the dagger was also out of his hand, just when the car stopped and the man struggled to get up, he already had an extra dagger at his throat.

The driver squatted in front of the man with a dagger, touched his cheek with the blade of the knife, and said with a smile: "Just like you, what kind of killer do you come out to be?" Tired of living, right? ”

Lian Jiuqi looked at the driver suspiciously, not knowing where he came from, but from his exaggerated laughter before, it could be heard that this guy was not an ordinary person. Lian Jiuqi turned to look at Zheng Cangqiong and found that Zheng Cangqiong was still sitting there flipping through magazines, ignoring everything that happened in the car.

Lian Jiuqi understood something, so he simply sat down and quietly watched the driver's performance.

"Yang Xuewei, male, 30 years old, graduated from sports school, studied martial arts performance, after graduating from university, he was originally a teacher in school, but he didn't be a student for a year, he was expelled for drinking and beating students, and then he was sentenced to 3 years in prison for attempted murder with a knife." The driver stared at Yang Xuewei, who was full of doubts, "I have been doing nothing since I was released from prison, following people to collect accounts, doing everything except good things, and then I started to be a thug, and then later, until now, I actually started to learn to be a killer, have you watched too many movies?" ”

Yang Weixue looked at the driver in surprise: "Who are you?" ”

The driver grabbed him: "Who hired you?" ”

Yang Xuewei shook his head: "Brother, since you know who I am, you must know the rules." ”

"You have your rules, I have mine." The driver smiled coldly, "If you don't say it, I have a way to make you say it!" ”
