Chapter 146: The Painter Who Was Kidnapped

After Jinqiu sent Qing'er to school, he went to the shroud shop. Jinqiu went straight to the backyard and saw Xuzidao watering flowers in the yard, and he was about to speak, but Xuzidao said with his back to him.

"Coming back?"

Jinqiu was slightly startled and said.

"I'm back. The statues of the twelve boys have been sealed in the coffin of the ghost according to your instructions. ”

"Come here."

Jinqiu leaned back towards Xuzidao (shēn), who stepped forward and grabbed Jinqiu's wrist and said a moment later.

"Black python teeth, recognize the traces of relatives; The Bone and Blood Alliance, all the dust. ”

Jinqiu asked with a blank face after hearing this.

"What do you mean?"

"The black python has taken care of the ghost coffin for generations of the Sanyun Gang, and it will bite it no matter how close it is, and it can distinguish the (shēn) portion of the comer by the smell of blood."

"So you've always known about the black python?"

Xuzi Dao let go of Jinqiu's hand, and then continued to pick up the kettle to water it, and said.

"Of course I do."

"Good fellow, why didn't you sue me in advance. I almost beat it to death. ”

Xuzidao squinted at Jinqiu and said.

"It's a good thing you didn't, otherwise you'd have turned into a black python and guarded there."

"Could it be that the black python was transformed by the people of the Sanyun Gang?"

"You can say that. Do you know what was locked up in the coffin? ”

"Listen to my mother, it seems to be those who were killed by the cobbler."

"That's right. Killing people for any purpose is an evil obstacle, and the souls of those killed by the cobbler turn into ghosts, but in the end they are sealed in the coffin of the ghost. After the death of each cobbler, he will turn into a black python and go to the back mountain to watch those resentful ghosts not come out to make trouble, which is also a punishment for the cobbler. ”

"In that case, why don't you just ban the cobblers?"

"Do you think it's going to be easy for the Sanyun Gang to survive until now? There will always be some resistance in the process of the growth of the Sanyun Gang, and this is when the cobbler needs to solve it. ”

Jinqiu listened to the back table (qíng) a little solemn, Xuzi Dao patted him on the shoulder and said.

"What should come will come, and what should be faced cannot escape."

"You..."

At this time, Zhang Ze ran over and interrupted their conversation with a big grin, Zhang Ze said.

"Jinqiu, you're back, how are things going?"

"(tǐng) smooth. How is Fang Fan? ”

"It's okay, he let us go."

"Where is he?"

"(chūn) taste bar."

Bidding farewell to Xuzidao, Zhang Ze and Jinqiu rushed to the (chūn) taste bar. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Fang Fan and Mishima chatting and laughing. Fang Fan saw Zhang Ze and Jinqiu coming back, and hurriedly said.

"Now that everyone is here, let's discuss what's next. At present, Granny Liu is dead, but the whereabouts of the cobbler have not been found. What do you think is the next step? ”

Zhang Ze stretched and said.

"Then find out the cobbler first."

Fang Fan looked at Jinqiu, who was a little in a daze. Fang Fan shouted.

"Jinqiu... Jinqiu. ”

"Huh?"

Jinqiu was obviously distracted, Fang Fan then asked.

"What do you think about the cobbler?"

"I don't have any ideas, just do what you say."

Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.

"Now that the Nightmare has been taken from me, my combat power is negligible in the battles we've faced in the past. I might cause you a lot of trouble in the future..."

Zhang Ze said.

"Old Fang, what are you talking about? It's up to me in terms of fighting in the future. ”

Fang Fan smiled and said.

"From then on, it's up to everyone."

At this time, Han Shuo ran out of it, put a stack of papers on the table, and said.

"Look at this."

A few people looked at the documents on the table, and Zhang Ze asked.

"What is this?"

Han Shuo rubbed his eyes and said.

"Last night at the Kun Kok Bar on the top floor of the Aobo Building, I saw someone being captured by a vampire."

"Aobo Building? Kun Kok Bar? Bloodsucker? Is this filming an American drama? ”

"I knew you didn't believe it. Here, I'll show you the video. ”

Han Shuo took a few people to the warehouse lab, and then showed them the video from last night. At about twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, a spot of light appeared in the sky above the Kunjiao bar, and a short time after a short time a flying creature (shēn) about 3 meters tall appeared in the spot, and at first glance it looked very similar to a bat, and its powerful feet were gripping a man's shoulders fiercely, and suddenly the monster roared and flew away. The video ended here, Fang Fan touched his stubble and said.

"I've never heard of vampires in Zhonghai City."

Zhang Ze echoed casually.

"We've seen a lot of strange ghosts, big and small, but we haven't seen vampires yet."

"Han Shuo, do you have any clues?"

"Regardless of who was arrested at the time, the police have not received any reports so far."

"Didn't the Kunjiao bar react as well? After all, the man was taken from the bar. ”

"Nope."

Fang Fan thought for a while and said.

"Now among those of us, the one who has the most (shēn) share is Jinqiu. So the admission is up to you. ”

"No problem. When the time comes, I'll use the shēn portion of the Sanyun Gang to enter, and you'll be dressed as my bodyguards, how about that?" ”

"No problem."

In the evening, Jin Qiu took Fang Fan and Zhang Ze to the Kunjiao Bar on the top floor of the Aobo Building. Jinqiu wore a handmade Italian suit, while Fang Fan and Zhang Ze followed Jinqiu (shēn) in suits they bought from the counter. The guard at the door of the bar, a black and strong black brother, said when he saw the three of them.

"It's not open to the public."

Jinqiu took out a card from his pocket and handed it to the man, and the black brother looked at it and immediately made a gesture of please. After entering, Zhang Ze leaned over to Jinqiu (shēn) and asked.

"What card did you just show him?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little card."

"Brother, that's amazing."

At this time, Fang Fan hugged the shoulders of the two from behind and said.

"Spread out and act on the opportunity."

The three of them scattered around the bar and fought separately. Zhang Ze walked to the bar and looked at the skillful movements of the bartender and said.

"Miss, it's a good idea."

The bartender glanced at Zhang Ze with a slanted eye and said.

"It's the first time I've heard someone call a bartender a lady."

Then the bartender smirked and continued.

"The lady you want is on the dance floor."

The bartender's sharp teeth mobilized Zhang Ze's fighting spirit, he looked at the bartender's (xiōng) card, and said.

"Three-of-a-kind? How could a girl be called such a name? ”

"Uncle, why are you so old-fashioned?"

"Oh? Then you give Uncle a lesson. ”

"Eleven cups of piercing, I'll tell you when I'm done."

"No problem."

The bartender put eleven cups of piercing hearts in front of Zhang Ze in turn and said.

"Please, uncle."

Zhang Ze picked up one of the cups and drank it all, and suddenly he felt that someone had opened a wound with a knife from the base of his tongue through the esophagus to the stomach tube, and finally someone had lit a fire on this wound. The bartender looked at Zhang Ze with a smile and said.

"How do you feel?"

Zhang Zeqiang endured the burning sensation that extended from the root of his tongue to his stomach, took a deep breath, and said.

"Sister, give my brother a cigarette."

The bartender nodded, took out a cigarette case from the shoulder strap under his shirt and handed it to Zhang Ze, when the first puff of the cigarette was inhaled, the liquor (xìng) seemed to be rekindled, and Zhang Ze felt that he could breathe fire now. At this time, the bartender handed Zhang Ze another glass, folded his hands in front of (xiōng), and said.

"Is it okay?"

Zhang Ze sneered and said.

"Don't bother with it, give me a big glass."

The bartender was slightly suspicious, and he looked at Zhang Ze with a little contempt, and then took a large glass from the bar and handed it to him. Zhang Ze poured all the remaining ten cups of piercing hearts into it, and then drank them all as soon as he raised his head. The bartender looked stupid directly, Zhang Ze slammed the wine glass on the bar and said.

"How?"

Before the bartender could speak, Zhang Ze had already fainted. The people around the bar all looked at Zhang Ze who had fainted, and at this time, the bartender whistled at the guards at the door, and several guards stepped forward to carry Zhang Ze away.

At this time, Fang Fan was checking the scene environment of the open-air part of the top floor according to the picture in the video, and after some inspection, Fang Fan found that there were no suspicious traces at the scene. Since Fang Fan was walking and watching while holding the wine glass, he accidentally bumped into someone else (shēn), so he quickly raised his head and apologized, and said.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The other party said politely.

"It's okay."

When Fang Fan was about to continue searching, the other party suddenly said.

"You, you are Fang Fan?"

"Huh? Who are you? ”

"You don't even recognize your old classmates?"

Fang Fan looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, and said.

"Qiao Yu."

"Hahaha, you finally remember."

Qiao Yu came up and hugged Fang Fan, Qiao Yu said.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, you've become a big man."

"What a big shot. Even the work is mixed up now, and it's a big shot. What are you doing now? ”

Qiao Yu took out a business card and handed it to Fang Fan, saying.

"I'm in this magazine."

"Curious?"

"That's right, this magazine is dedicated to weird things."

Fang Fan pondered for a moment and said.

"Are you here for last night's vampire arrest?"

"yes."

"Did you find anything?"

"Not yet."

Fang Fan left his phone number to Qiao Yu and said.

"This is my phone number, if there is any news, you must tell me as soon as possible, and there will be a thank you when the time comes."

"No problem."

Then the two separated after a few simple greetings, and Fang Fan found Jinqiu and said.

"How? What did you find out that you didn't? ”

Jinqiu shook his head and said.

"Nothing."

"Let's go back first. Where did that guy run to Zhang Ze? ”

Jinqiu looked around and said.

"Maybe I'll go back first. Let's go. ”

Fang Fan and Jinqiu left the bar in a daze, but at this time, Zhang Ze was carried by the doormen to a luxurious (tào) room, and the bartender was sitting by the (chuáng) with a glass of water, looking at Zhang Ze leisurely. At this time, someone came over and opened Zhang Ze's mouth and stuffed him with a pill, and Zhang Ze immediately woke up, but he found that he was tied to (chuáng).

"Aren't you the bartender you just had? Let go of me. ”

"I like you. There's nothing in the world that I can't get. ”

Zhang Ze pursed his lips and said.

"It's okay to have me, but you have to answer my questions first."

"What's the problem?"

"What happened to last night's bat catch?"

The bartender pouted and smiled.

"So you took the initiative to hook up with me for this?"

Zhang Ze felt that he had two big words of wrongdoing written on his face at this time, obviously she poured herself down with wine, and tied him to (chuáng).

"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't hook up with you, I just said you had a strange name. ”

"Don't you know that the name is my most sensitive part?"

Zhang Ze sighed and said.

"Girl, you're suspected of being a fraud."

The bartender sneered and said.

"It's not hard for me to sue you about the vampire last night, as long as you stay with me."

Zhang Ze's anger was a little explosive, he shook the mechanical arm slightly, and the shackles on his hands were broken, these things were just props after all. Zhang Ze's action obviously startled the bartender, but it seemed that there was an inexplicable admiration (qíng) in her eyes, like a female beast with a hair (qíng). Zhang Ze broke free from all the shackles (shēn), and then walked up to the bartender, the green snake's fangs sticking out of his palm little by little. The bartender's heart (qíng) gradually shifted from fear to excitement, and suddenly Zhang Ze reached out and grabbed her neck, and then pressed her against the wall hard, which was probably the most domineering wall knock.

"You'd better hurry up and tell me what the hell was going on with the vampire last night, I'm running out of patience by you."

The female bartender slapped Zhang Ze's arm vigorously, Zhang Ze put it aside, the bartender coughed violently, and said after a pause.

"I don't know how to pity the fragrance at all, that vampire appeared out of nowhere."

"And who was the person who disappeared last night, do you know?"

"Yes. Due to the relationship between grade and threshold, the daily customers of the bar are almost fixed, so it is easy to find out who is missing, and the missing person seems to be a painter. ”

"Painters? Who would catch a painter? ”

At this time, the bartender's hand was already slowly roaming on Zhang Ze (shēn), and Zhang Ze and Fang Fan called and said.

"Old Fang, I found out the news that the vampire kidnapped the man."

"Very well, now go back to the (chūn) taste bar right away."

After Zhang Ze hung up the phone, he said to the female bartender.

"Shall you go take a shower first?"

Sanjo suddenly nodded excitedly and ran to the bathroom. Zhang Ze took the opportunity to run away while she was putting (rè) water, and as for how Sanjo would get angry when he found out that Zhang Ze was gone, let's not mention it for a while, just talk about Zhang Ze's return to the (chūn) taste bar. As soon as Zhang Ze entered the bar, he was surrounded by Fang Fan and them, Fang Fan asked.

"Where's your boy?"

Zhang Ze 1510 told the things before and after, and Fang Fan said with a wicked smile.

"I'm going to tell Wanli to go."

Zhang Ze's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted.

"You dare. If you tell Wanli, you'll never see me again. ”

Everyone laughed, and then Zhang Ze continued.

"The man who was snatched by the vampire is said to be a painter."

"Painters? Is there any use in kidnapping a painter? ”

Jinqiu looked at a painting hanging on the wall of the bar lobby and said.

"Mishima, is this painting genuine?"

Mishima pouted.

"If it's genuine, I'll dare to hang it here?"

Jinqiu smiled slightly and said.

"This painter may have been kidnapped and faked."

Everyone heard Jinqiu's guess and felt that it was quite reliable. Many painters' copying skills are far superior to machines, and they can not only copy the master's skills, but even copy the master's mind (qíng) and artistic conception at that time. Zhang Ze asked.

"Is there such a powerful person in Zhonghai City?"

Fang Fan touched his chin and said.

"There really is such a person."

"Who?"

"I've heard of a painter named Ghosteye before. It is said that it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake in the paintings he painted. ”

"And where is this man now?"

He didn't have to think about it, this man had been dead for years. But it is said that he also had an apprentice, and this man was so mysterious that no one had ever seen him. ”

Fang Fan called out Han Shuo and said.

"You check the information of the ghost eye and see if you can find that apprentice of his. It is very likely that the person who has been kidnapped now is Devileye's apprentice. ”

Jinqiu cleared his throat and said.

"Since the direction of the victim is basically fixed, it should not be difficult to determine the direction of the perpetrator, right?"

Zhang Ze smiled faintly and said.

"It takes so much effort to kidnap a person, and there will be no one else except the ghost hand Chaikin."

At this time, Jinqiu's phone rang, and he picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello."

"Is it Jinqiu?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Qing'er's teacher, please come to school quickly."

"What's going on?"

"Qing'er is gone."

When Jinqiu heard this, his face changed greatly. Zhang Ze stepped forward and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Qing'er is gone."

Let's go check it out. Zhang Ze and Jinqiu immediately rushed to Qing'er's school, only to see the teacher who had been watching Jinqiu in the morning standing at the school gate rubbing his hands at a loss. Jinqiu stepped forward and asked.

"Where's Qing'er?"

"I was here with Qing'er waiting for the car that picked her up from school every day, but when I answered the phone, Qing'er disappeared."

Jinqiu's anger suddenly came up and said.

"What did you do? I handed my sister over to you, and you just lost it? ”

Zhang Ze hurriedly said.

"Jinqiu, don't worry, they didn't mean it."

Zhang Ze said to the teacher.

"Don't blame him, he's just a little anxious because the child was lost."

Zhang Ze looked up at the surrounding environment, and then pointed to the camera at the school gate and said.

"I'm going to look at the surveillance footage from this camera."

The female teacher took Zhang Ze and Jinqiu to the security room, and after some negotiation, she found the video of the camera. At first, Qing'er did stand by the teacher (shēn) and waited, when the teacher started answering the phone, and Qing'er seemed to see something across the road and suddenly ran over. Zhang Ze said.

"Let's go out and have a look."

Outside, Zhang Ze saw a stationery store across the road, with toys and rocking cars and other things to attract children at the door. Zhang Ze walked to the door of the stationery store and asked.

"Boss, did a little girl just come?"

The boss thought about it according to Zhang Ze's description and said.

"I've been here, but I'm gone."

"Which way are you going?"

The boss pointed in the direction of the park in the distance and said.

"Over there."

"Thank you."

The three of them ran quickly to the park, and after looking around, they found Qing'er lying on a bench writing and drawing. Jinqiu walked over briskly and shouted.

"Qing'er."

Qing'er turned around and saw Jinqiu when she heard the sound, and suddenly ran towards him quickly. Jinqiu picked up Qing'er and asked sharply.

"How can you run around? Do you know how worried we are about you. ”

Qing'er lowered her head and whispered.

"Qing'er knows it's wrong, but Qing'er wants her brother to pick me up."

When Jinqiu heard this, his heart trembled. Then he said to the teacher.

"I'm sorry, I just had a bad attitude, I apologize to you."

"It's okay, it's good if Qing'er finds it."

Jinqiu and Zhang Ze walked towards the (chūn) flavor bar with Qing'er lying on Jinqiu's shoulder, looking at the teacher behind (shēn), and then made a triumphant gesture.
