Chapter 50: The Black Hand Emerges
Liu Rumei and I were chatting in the store, and when it was late in the evening, the fat man suddenly hurried back from outside.
I looked at him and asked, "Hurry, what's going on?" ”
The fat man picked up the disposable water cup, took himself a glass of cold water, drank it all, and said, "I got some exciting news about us at the bar in front." ”
"Exciting news? What about us? No way? "I wondered, after all, I am also a newcomer, and it is not obvious to open a small shop on the pedestrian street, and I will be contaminated with something to provoke the fat man to be in such a hurry.
The fat man ignored me, continued to drink a glass of water, and then said: "I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I originally wanted to drink some wine in the bar, find a wine partner to chat for a while, but I never thought that the bar business in Hedong City is really bleak, there are almost no people in it, and the fat man drank for an afternoon......"
I interrupted him and said, "Pick up the important ones." ”
"Don't interrupt, the important ones are coming." The fat man glared and said, "Just when I was bored, someone came to the bar, guess who?" ”
I raised my hand and said, "Don't sell it." ”
"You're so boring." The fat man pursed his lips and continued, "I saw Wen Xianbao." ”
"What?" Liu Rumei and I were both surprised, we just talked about Wen Xianbao's disappearance, how did he arrive in Hedong City in a blink of an eye, and he was met by a fat man by chance.
I asked, "Did you say hello to him?" ”
"Nope." The fat man shook his head and said, "After he walked into the bar, he looked at me and didn't recognize me, and then he sat in a corner sneakily, I thought that the person was not Wen Xianbao, but just looked alike, so I wanted to take a photo with my mobile phone and show it to you, but something happened." ”
I asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The fat man turned on the video on his phone, put it on the table, and said, "Watch it for yourselves, it's exciting." ”
Liu Rumei and I looked at it curiously, the video was taken from a candid angle, and there were two people on it, one of them did look like Wen Xianbao, and the other was a dark and thin young man. For the sake of storytelling, I will temporarily call the one who looks like Wen Xianbao A, the black and thin young man B, and the following dialogue is the content of the video.
……
A asked, "Have you heard all the news?" ”
B replied, "Clearly, the archaeological team will be removed from the lonely mountain by tomorrow at the latest." ”
A nodded, and then said: "Then you gather people as soon as possible, the archaeological team is withdrawn, and we will start, did the other person surnamed Wen say anything?" ”
B replied, "No, that kid is very strict." ”
A frowned and said, "Find a way to make him speak, this time the matter is closely watched, and there can't be a little sloppy." ”
B said in a tentative tone, "If you want to move him, do you ask the old man for advice first?" ”
A was a little disdainful and said, "What are you afraid of?" Isn't the old ghost of Wenhui behind him, as long as he gives his son a breath, and the old man doesn't need to make a move, I can cover Qiao Er. ”
B nodded hurriedly and said, "What the second master said, then I will do it." ”
A continued to ask: "I heard that Zhang Bancheng was also involved?" ”
B replied: "I have inquired about this, Zhang Bancheng's girl is an intern of the archaeological team, and she only stayed in the mountains for a day or two, and then returned to Hedong City." ”
Jia frowned and said, "Go check on her, if you don't run into the mountains as a young lady in the city, maybe there will be a problem." ”
B nodded: "Okay, second master." ”
A continued to ask: "What happened to the two other people who came from Xi'an?" ”
B replied: "Those two people are guides, and after they took the archaeological team up the mountain, they returned to Hedong City on the same day. ”
A said, "Then go and investigate, in short, this time there is no room for error." ”
B nodded: "It's the second master." ”
Jia paused, and then asked, "Is there any news from the hospital now?" ”
B replied, "Not yet, but it is said that the autopsy report should be available soon." ”
A was a little angry, and scolded: "Ma Dan, Xiao Wu can't just die, this account will have to be settled with the old fox sooner or later." ”
B was puzzled and asked, "Second master, how do you know that the old fox did it?" ”
A glanced at B, and then said, "How do you know?" This is not a matter of obvious lice on the bald head, except for the old fox, who else dares to argue with our masters? ”
B nodded hurriedly and said, "What the second master said is reasonable, but that old fox has indeed become more and more arrogant recently. ”
A also nodded and said, "I'm angry when I mention the old fox, let's not talk about this for now, you can do the things I explained first." ”
B nodded, and then asked, "Okay, is the contact information still according to the old rules?" ”
A thought for a while and said, "Everything will come according to the old rules, I will stay in Hedong City for the next few days, and I will look for you when I need it." ”
B smiled and said, "The old man is as cautious as ever, and he still doesn't let him use his mobile phone to contact him." ”
The deck raised his face and said, "Is this your business?" ”
B hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I talk a lot, I know it's wrong." ”
A waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, this is not Kyoto after all, so you don't have to follow such big rules." ”
B thanked him: "Second Master Xie ......"
Liu Rumei and I watched the entire video with a bewildered expression, then glanced at each other, and continued to fall into silence with expressionless faces.
The fat man put away his phone and asked, "Is it exciting?" ”
"Exciting, exciting." I nodded, and then said, "Don't underestimate this little lonely mountain, you may not know how much bloody rain it will set off." ”
Liu Rumei nodded, and the fat man pouted.
The fat man secretly took this short little video, and the amount of information on it was amazing.
From their conversation, it can be seen that the undercurrent behind this is far more than Wen Xianbao's side. The Wen Xianbao in the video can be sure to be fake, and it is also certain that he is not the one who was kidnapped on the mountain, but the person who ordered someone to kidnap the ticket, he calls himself Qiao Er, from Kyoto. There is a bigger boss behind it, and its background should be quite terrifying, otherwise this Qiao Er would not be so arrogant that he didn't even care about the deputy director of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau. For the sake of convenience, we will temporarily call them the Kyoto forces represented by Qiao Er.
On the other hand, there is Wen Xianbao, whom I already know, and the deputy director of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau behind him. Although Qiao Er's Kyoto forces despise it in their words, they are indeed also aiming for something on the lonely mountain. Also for the sake of convenience, we will temporarily call them the Wen forces represented by Wen Xianbao.
There is another party, which is the old fox in Qiao Er's mouth. Because there is too little information, I don't know who this person is, but since he can take out Qiao Er's subordinates and compete with the big boss behind the Kyoto forces represented by Qiao Er, his energy must be quite terrifying. Moreover, this person is currently unknown, his background is unknown, his purpose is unknown, and he is a genuine hidden force behind the scenes.
These three forces, except for Wen Xianbao, who had been in contact with them before, the other two parties had just surfaced. How could people have imagined that this small lonely mountain would attract so many people to covet it.
I looked at Liu Rumei, then at the fat man, and then said: "Judging from this video, it is certain that there are already three forces involved, and this Qiao Er and the old fox in his mouth are definitely not good from the perspective of formal means, and we should also be on guard against it as soon as possible." ”
The fat man was a little unimpressed, and said, "What are you afraid of, we don't have much to do with this matter in the first place." ”
I shook my head, thinking to myself, is there really no connection? Photographs, letters, altarpieces...... One by one, I think we are not only connected, but even in the middle of the storm.
Liu Rumei frowned at this time, biting her red lips and thinking silently, she should also be aware of the crisis we are facing now.
I said to her, "Koyanagi, judging from the conversation between these two people, they may investigate you and your father. ”
Liu Rumei nodded and said, "I naturally understand this, but I still don't know what they are looking for on the lonely mountain." ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's possible that it's really the same as what we analyzed." ”
Liu Rumei shook his head and said, "Will the legendary thing really exist?" I always feel that their purpose is too mysterious. ”
The fat man didn't understand what we were talking about and asked, "What fantasy legend?" The more I listened, the more confused I became. ”
I felt that these things were still in the fog, and that the most important thing at the moment was to protect my own safety, so I said to him, "What are you confused about? Can't you hear that these people are trying to trouble us? ”
The fat man really pouted disapprovingly, and said, "What are you afraid of, we don't have what they are looking for." ”
Liu Rumei interjected on the side and said, "What if there is?" ”
"Is there one?" The fat man stared at Liu Rumei, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You shouldn't mean that bead, right?" A broken bead, I don't think you are too careful. ”
"Alright." I said to the fat man very seriously: "Fat man, don't mention the matter of the beads in front of anyone in the future, just treat it as if you haven't seen it or touched it." ”
The fat man saw that I was serious, and naturally became serious, although he was still a little disdainful, but he still nodded to me and said, "Okay, listen to you, don't mention it." ”
I turned to look at Liu Rumei and said to her, "I don't know if your dad is also involved, anyway, I think it's better for you to remind him." ”
Liu Rumei nodded.
I continued: "In addition, you have to pay attention these days, according to the methods of these people, it is also possible to kidnap tickets, and Wen Xianbao's kidnapping is a living example. ”
Liu Rumei continued to nod, still not speaking.
The fat man interjected next to him and said, "Waste, what did you just say about Wen Xianbao's ticket kidnapping?" ”
Then I remembered that the fat man didn't know what was going on on the mountain, so I told him what I knew briefly. This kind of thing is indeed uncommon, and he was also very surprised after hearing it, and asked: "Waste, you said that these people may kidnap tickets Xiaoliu?" ”
I glanced at the fat man and said calmly, "It's also possible that the three of us are kidnapped." ”
