Chapter 21: Gathering Momentum
The elevator reached the 8th floor, Fan Meng and Xingshu went out one after another, Xingshu followed behind Fan Meng, and walked to a room at the very end, Fan Meng took out the room card and opened the door, and then entered the house. Torture looked up at the camera at the end, and then walked inside.
After entering the house, the door was closed, and Fan Meng stood there looking at him and said: "This is Changsha, you have to be cautious in everything, after I came back, Heyumen has been sending people to keep an eye on me, and I finally got rid of it." ”
Torture nodded: "What about He Yuejia?" ”
Fan Meng smiled: "You care more about her than I do?" She's fine. ”
Xingshu said: "Time is running out, Sheng Zitai and Sheng Yutang should be about to set off, and I have to set off too, but you have to tell me, is Jiacuo Hall in Lin Geshan?" ”
Fan Meng nodded and said: "Yes, it's in Lin Geshan, but you have to go to Baojing County first, Yuejia is waiting for us there, only she knows the real location, and the people in Heyumen don't know." ”
Xingshu shook his head: "The relationship between you and Heyumen is different, if I guessed correctly, you should have an agreement with Sheng Yutang to attack and defend the alliance, so even if Sheng Zitai doesn't know the specific location, Sheng Yutang should know that he will find it before us." ”
"You're thinking too simply." Fan Meng shook his head, "If Jiacuo Hall can be found just by saying a location, someone has already found it, in addition to Sheng Yutang, Sheng Zitai and you, the Xu brothers are also about to arrive, is there anyone else, I don't know, in short, this time is very troublesome, you still have morning snow, you have to be more careful." ”
"I know, I'll leave tomorrow at noon, and I'll go buy some necessities in the afternoon and tomorrow morning." ”
Fan Meng nodded: "The phone can be turned on at any time, prepare a few more power banks, and I will contact you." ”
Fan Meng said that he was leaving, but the torture technique stopped him and said: "Fan Meng, no matter what you have to do, you must remember that you are a member of the Jade Casting Society, and you are still the first worker, you must consider the overall situation!" ”
Fan Meng smiled: "Thank you for the reminder." ”
Fan Meng left, but Xingshu did not leave, but sat on the edge of the bed and made a call: "You have already arrived in Changsha, right?" Come here. ”
The torturer then repeated the name of the hotel and the room number, and then lay on the bed and waited.
Nearly an hour later, there was a knock at the door, and the torture technique got up and walked to the door to take a look through the cat's eyes, and immediately opened the door, letting the three people who were waiting at the door into the house.
The three of them didn't sit down when they entered the house, but just turned to look at the torture.
Xingshu smiled: "I have to thank the three of you for helping me this time." ”
Guo Hongkui, who was wearing a jacket and was completely dressed as a tourist, took off his hat and said: "Torture, don't get me wrong, last time you saved Zhong Zheng, this time I am here to repay the favor, the Guo family does not owe debts, nor does it owe favors!" ”
After speaking, Guo Hongkui glanced at Bai Zhongzheng next to him, and Bai Zhongzheng immediately said: "You have been busy, I didn't find a chance to thank you in person." ”
"Don't say that, you fell into the trap last time because you helped me." After the torture was finished, he looked at Guo Hongkui, "Master Kui, so this time I owe you a favor, and I will pay it back." ”
Guo Hongkui didn't seem to appreciate it: "Criminal art, the Guo family has always been clear about doing things, the last time Zhongzheng went with you, it was also because he felt that he had something to do with Qimen, not just to help you, this time I will return your favor, don't be polite anymore, but I have to say it well in advance, this time, you can't make it too complicated, as far as I know, Heyumen is not good at stubble, and it is not easy to deal with." ”
Xingshu walked to the window chair and sat down: "Kui Ye, things are already in trouble, and if you come, things will become more troublesome, I just want things to become complicated and troublesome." Because no one except me knows that you are in Changsha, and you are the secret chess arranged by me, so you must keep a low profile and follow us secretly. ”
Guo Hongkui shook his head: "I think, we should go first, you know, that Yan Gang beside you is very vigilant, we follow you, he will find out sooner or later." ”
"It doesn't matter if he finds out, I have a tacit understanding with him, and he understands my intentions with a look." Of course, your worries are also necessary, this time my friend also introduced a young man of the Miao nationality named Samuchuan, he looks very rigid, but he is very shrewd, maybe he will find out, you can go first, go to Baojing County and wait for me. ”
Guo Shiji interjected at this time: "Boss Criminal, but let's talk about it, this time I will help you be your bodyguard, and the next time you find the clues of Qimen, you must not leave us alone." ”
Xingshu replied without thinking: "Don't worry, I can't find Qimen alone, and I know the origin of your Guo family and Qimen, and I also believe that even if you find Qimen, you will not use Qimen for personal gain." ”
"If you know, it's good." Guo Hongkui nodded, "Then let's go first." ”
Xingshu nodded and sent the three of them to the door, Bai Zhongzheng stopped and turned around and said, "By the way, when we came, we found that there were a lot of people watching in the hotel lobby, although it is unprofessional, but you should also be careful." ”
After ten minutes of leaving, the three of them left the room and walked from the stairs to the fourth floor, then took the elevator down to the first floor, ordered a cup of coffee in the hotel building, and called the others to go downstairs to buy something, while observing the stalkers that Bai Zhongzheng said.
After glancing at it, he concluded that these people were not disciples of the Heyumen, but were hired by them, like idle people in society, and it could be easily judged from their behavior.
After Tan Tong, Samuchuan, and He Chenxue went downstairs, Xingshu took them out and called a taxi to leave, and those who were stalkers were also divided into two parts, one stayed in the lobby, and the other part followed them all the time.
At 4 o'clock in the morning of the next day, in the underground garage of the hotel, Mu Tianjian, dressed in black and wearing a black baseball cap, quietly sneaked from the corner of the garage to the business car rented by Yan Gang, carefully looked at the license plate, and after looking inside through the window, he said to the phone: "Son, I found the car they rented, it is exactly the same as the one in the photo taken in the afternoon." ”
Sheng Yutang said at the other end: "Open the door and see what there is." ”
Mu Tianjian easily pried the car door, rummaged inside for a while, and then replied: "Mountaineering equipment, some electronic equipment, and dry food and drinking water, no weapons, eldest son, listen to me, put some white goods (drugs) in their car, and call the police immediately after they set off." ”
"No, it's useless to do that, the car is rented." Sheng Yutang stopped, "All we can do is delay their time." ”
Mu Tianjian said coldly: "That is enough." ”
Sheng Yutang said: "I also want to delay their time, but once I use this method, my father will definitely know that I did it, and doing so will only anger him, because it was his idea to let the people of the Jade Casting Society participate in the search for the Jiacuo Hall at the beginning." ”
"Understood!" Mu Tianjian replied, "That's still according to the original plan, I installed a bugging device and put a bottle of laxative-infused mineral water, as long as one of them is unwell, it will cause their progress to slow down." ”
Sheng Yutang hung up the phone after saying "um", Mu Tianjian immediately set out to install the bugging device in the car, took out a bottle of mineral water from the bag and casually found a backpack to stuff it in, and then tested the bugging device without any problems, then turned around and slowly left along the blind corner of the monitoring head in the corner.
The next morning, Mu Tianjian, who was waiting opposite the hotel, finally saw the business car leave the hotel, and when the car got on the main road, he immediately drove behind him, but kept a distance of 100 meters, he knew very well that the other party was not an ordinary person, and he would be found if he was too close, and the distance between the wiretaps he installed was 500 meters, as long as it was within the range of 500 meters, generally speaking, he could not follow it.
Mu Tianjian, who was wearing headphones, listened carefully to the conversation in the car, and felt that these people were really boring, discussing the delicious and fun things in Changsha along the way, as if they didn't care about finding Jiacuo Palace.
The business car went straight to the direction of the East Second Ring Road, and then got off the Yuanda overpass from Yuanda Road, Mu Tianjian immediately overtook and chased after four or five meters away from the business car, and stopped in the right lane behind another car, because this is one of the most congested sections of Changsha, and now it is commuting time, it is the rush hour, and the cars in front of him are almost a few meters and meters of slow movement.
Mu Tianjian took a sip of filled coffee and rubbed his temples with wind oil essence, a warrior like him who came out of the jungle was very disgusted with traffic jams, he was willing to squat on a tree for three days in order to ambush, and he was not willing to be stuck in traffic jams for half an hour in this kind of place.
After a while, the car stopped moving, all the drivers of the car were desperately honking their horns, Mu Tianjian quickly judged that there must be a car accident or something in front of him, he had to lean there and drink coffee, look sideways at the business car in front of him, and listen to the conversation of the torturers and others in the eavesdropper.
But listening to it, Mu Tianjian felt that something was wrong, because he found that what Xingshu and the others said was actually repeated, and at this time, he repeated what they said from the hotel at the beginning.
"Oops!" Mu Tianjian realized that he had been fooled, immediately got out of the car, walked towards the commercial vehicle, walked to the co-pilot of the commercial vehicle, pulled the car door, looked at the fat man with a blank face inside, and also saw that the car audio system of the commercial vehicle was plugged into a USB flash drive, and the loudspeaker was still playing the conversation that had been recorded by the torture and others a long time ago.
Mu Tianjian glared at the fat man, didn't ask anything, closed the door and left, he knew that it was useless to ask, this fat man was also taking money to do things.
Back in the car, Mu Tianjian immediately picked up the phone and said, "Eldest son, you're fooled, they're not in that business car!" ”
"The golden cicada is out of its shell!" Sheng Yutang said with a smile, "Zhenba expected it a long time ago, he personally led people to follow another car, and now the car has arrived at the West Second Ring Road." ”
Mu Tianjian said: "They rented two cars? ”
"Yes." Sheng Yutang replied, "Two cars, let the person named Yan Gang go out and rent them first, the car you did to do last night was deliberately placed there for us to see, and when we thought we were trapping them, it was actually already in their trap." ”
Mu Tianjian was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, eldest son." ”
"It's not about you." Sheng Yutang said, "I don't even know if it's a plan, but fortunately, Zhenba found out early, it's okay, you can come back first." ”
Mu Tianjian frowned and looked at the congested traffic: "I was stuck on the overpass, and I couldn't come back for a while." ”
"It's okay, there's time." Sheng Yutang hung up the phone after speaking, and dialed Yuan Zhenba again, "Zhenba, how are you on the other end?" ”
Yuan Zhenba, who was sitting in a taxi and followed another business car, looked ahead and said: "I have been following, I can't lose it, it seems that they are going to go to Changde first, and then take the highway from Changde to Jishou directly, if it is really like that, I will change cars and follow me, and then follow Changde." ”
"Okay, stay safe yourself." Sheng Yutang hung up the phone.
Yuan Zhenba took the phone, took a sip of water, looked at the fast-moving business car in front of him, and glanced at the subordinate driving next to him: "Can't you lose it?" ”
The driver said lightly: "Eighth master, don't worry, don't dare to say it in other places, in Changsha, no one can get rid of me." ”
"That's good." Yuan Zhenba took out an envelope from his pocket and put it directly into the toolbox in front of him, "A little meaning, the eldest prince gave it." ”
The driver nodded in thanks: "Thank you, eldest son, thank you, eighth master." ”
"You're welcome." Yuan Zhenba smiled lightly, "Let's do the work." ”
The driver put the accelerator in gear and drove sharply towards the front.
In a pavilion in Orange Island, Changsha, the Xu brothers who were waiting there did not wait for the people who came to Sheng Yutang as expected, but waited for the Duan Wei family next to Sheng Zitai.
Duan Weijia, who was dressed casually, carried a mountaineering bag and wore a pair of glasses, and when he came to the pavilion, he just stopped and looked around, and then walked straight in, walked among the four brothers, put down the mountaineering bag, and then opened it, revealing the bundles of banknotes in it and said: "Four, these are apologies." ”
When Duan Wei's family came in, Xu Sheng thought that he was sent by Sheng Yutang, but he had a little more heart, gave the others a look, and signaled not to make any moves, it seems that he wants to do something.
"Apologies?" Xu Cai realized that the other party was not the person they were waiting for, but the person who grabbed their handle before, "I don't understand what you mean?" ”
Duan Weijia picked up a stack of money: "Real money, not fake." ”
"It's still dollars." Xu Dao took it and looked at it, and handed it to Xu Cai.
Xu Cai threw the money back into the bag: "What do you mean?" ”
"What my eldest brother means is that I'm sorry for what happened last time, it's his fault, this is an apology, I hope you can continue to cooperate with us." Duan Weijia said, "One more thing is also very sorry, I pretended to be another person before, I knew he meant to let you go to Baojing County, but in order to see you, I had to pretend to be him to contact you and let you come here, the purpose is to apologize, in order to continue to cooperate with you." ”
Xu Cai smiled: "I'm sorry, this friend, say something disrespectful to ourselves - one servant does not serve the second master." We promised to cooperate with other people, and we will not have anything to do with you again. ”
Duan Weijia said with a smile: "It's okay, you think about it, there was a misunderstanding between us before, and we were also at fault, but you didn't have a misunderstanding with money, there is nothing wrong with money, whether you agree or not, I will keep the money, and the apology is the apology, I will contact you again." ”
After Duan Weijia finished speaking, he turned around and left, and after he walked away, Xu Dao squatted down, counted the banknotes, and then said, "Ten stacks, one stack of ten thousand, here are 100,000 dollars." ”
Xu Sheng looked at Duan Wei's family who was far away: "What the hell?" ”
Xu Cai closed the backpack again: "The money here can't be moved, and it can't be moved." If you exchange dollars for RMB in your personal account, you have to register your identity, and you can't use a fake one, and the real police will target us again, even if the police don't target us, if I'm not mistaken, the limit of a person's dollar exchange for RMB a year is only 50,000, and you can also go to the black market scalper to change, but you will suffer a big loss, and now the government has been monitoring the black market, and it is easy to have accidents, so they give us this 100,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to a set, even if we realize that this is a set, we can't throw away the money. ”
Xu Sheng shook his head: "We don't know when we will be able to get rid of this bad luck!" ”
Xu Youdao: "Big brother, it seems that we can only go to Baojing County." ”
Xu Dao lifted the back of his backpack: "As long as you have money to make, you can go anywhere." ”
Xu Cai shook his head: "It's not that simple, in fact, the person who came just now obviously wanted us to continue to cooperate with the one who came later, and at the same time tell him the progress of the matter, so that we can be his eyes and ears." ”
Xu Sheng nodded: "Take one step at a time!" ”
As he spoke, the four of them left the pavilion and walked towards the outside of Orange Island.
At the same time as the four of them left, Fu Mingwei in the distance picked up the phone and said, "National title, Zhihai, you are staring at the Xu brothers, and I will follow the person who sent the backpack earlier." ”
Saying that, Fu Mingwei left quickly and walked in the direction of Duan Wei's house, at this time, two people dressed as lovers walked towards each other, and when they passed by, the man said in a low voice: "Turn right one hundred meters ahead." ”
The couple was dressed as a criminal police officer sent by the Changsha police to cooperate, and at this time in Orange Island, there were already police officers all over the city, not only staring at the Xu brothers, but also on Duan Wei's family.
Two hours later, the five people got out of the car in front of a villa area, and then Xingshu made a phone call, and not long after, a man in a battery car, aged thirty-five or sixteen, came out of it, and said politely after seeing the torture: "Mr. Xing, Mr. Wan asked me to pick you up." ”
Xingshu nodded and got into the car with the group, and He Chenxue asked in a low voice, "Why are we here?" ”
On the contrary, the torture technique asked a little strangely: "Didn't you say it before you set off in Harbin?" Van Meng asked us to go to see Vain Vieng, I know Vang Vieng, he lives here. ”
He Chenxue shook her head and said, "Look at my memory. ”
Xingshu smiled: "You're too tired and too nervous, just take it slowly." ”
He Chenxue nodded and sighed. Xingshu said: "Before I met you, didn't I say that I came to Changsha to help someone identify a pot?" It was introduced by Wan Vieng. ”
He Chenxue said: "You have known each other for many years? ”
"It's not long, it's just a few years." "The relationship is not bad, at least from the perspective of buying and selling, he is a good trader, as long as the agreed things are agreed, he will not regret it, even if he regrets it at the time, he will not say anything in person, he should still give." ”
Yan Gang sat in the back, watching left and right, vigilant. Tan Tong was listening to something with headphones on, smiling from time to time, and Samuchuan sat at the end, his eyes were a little dull, as if he didn't like this environment.
