Of course, it will not be the tanker truck that explodes, but one of the fishing boats.

The entire hull of the fishing boat was blown apart. I understand that this kind of explosion, apparently, will not be used by the special forces*.

Then the fishing boat must have been blown up by the weirdo himself.

The explosion was so powerful that the river was tumbling with it, and our boat was bumped by the impact of the river not far away.

I could see that the special forces had all gathered over, and the previous five special forces had not succeeded in landing on the fishing boat because of the explosion, and they were forced back by the explosion.

I was glad that they didn't board the boat, otherwise the consequences would have been devastating.

Black smoke billowed from the fishing boat, and the flames were still burning on the hull, making a creaking and cracking sound.

The special forces pointed their guns at the burning fishing boat, but did not shoot, but only looked solemnly alert.

The fishing boat is not very large, and judging by the burning range, it is impossible for anyone to hide inside the fishing boat, but I know that it is impossible for a strange person to be blown up so easily. I'm sure he must have his own way of getting out of here, and maybe his method is what I guessed before.

At this point, I noticed that a lot of water bubbles began to emerge from the bottom of the fishing boat, but this could only be seen in my direction, and the special forces were in a position that was obscured by the hull and the raging fire and billowing smoke, and they must not be able to see the bubbles on the water.

This bubble is apparently something underwater, created when the gas is expelled. Is there really a small submarine?

The bubbles soon disappeared, the waves crashed against the burning fishing boats, and the only sound of helicopters could be heard.

I know the weirdo has fled.

At this time, eight special forces lowered the rope from the Wan'an Bridge and landed handsomely and quickly on the car ferry.

These well-trained special forces quickly eliminated the remote-controlled devices on the tanker trucks. When one of the special forces straightened up and gave a thumbs up to the helicopter, I knew that the crisis was over.

A panic that was not dangerous, and that was the end of it.

"Let's go back!" I turned my head to Tang Zhenguo and said.

Tang Zhenguo said a little frustratedly: "I thought I could play it, but I didn't expect it to end like this." That guy was blown up, right? ”

I said, "No, I'm already running." ”

"What? Ran away? How did you run? Tang Zhenguo asked very curiously.

I said, "I ran in a submarine." ”

Tang Zhenguo laughed and said: "Are you kidding, where did the submarine come from in the Yangtze River?" ”

I said solemnly, "Really, small submersibles." ”

Tang Zhenguo still said suspiciously: "Your serious nonsense is also absolutely absolute." ”

By this time, the fire brigade had already arrived on the shore, and the roaring water column quickly extinguished the flames on the fishing boat.

At this time, Tang Zhenguo and I also went ashore. Of course, it is inevitable to be scolded by Lao Lu for splitting his head and covering his face.

I just greeted me with a smile, because Lao Lu scolded me like this, which showed how worried he was about me.

I took out my phone and turned it on.

After a while, the text messages for call reminders came, all of which were calls from an unknown number, and there were 36 reminder text messages.

I thought to myself, this strange person is really weird, weird crazy, weird terrible.

The phone rings again, and it's still the same unknown number.

I answered the phone, and there was an almost roaring voice on the phone: "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you......"

I said calmly: "There are many ways and opportunities for you to kill me, but you didn't do it, because you think that if you kill me like that, you will admit that you lost to me." ”

Heavy breathing came from the phone: "Whew...... Yes, whew...... Once again, I lost to you. But you can't do anything about me, and in front of everyone, you still let me escape. ”

I mocked: "You didn't lose to me, except for rowing and swimming the Yangtze River, I found your location by the way, and the rest was done by the special forces." Your escape depends entirely on the advanced equipment provided to you by Qu Mo, and without that small submersible, you will achieve nothing. All the cases you design are using some unconventional and high-tech means. You can't do anything without hallucinogens, without steroids, without the tromole technical team, without those advanced equipment. To be honest, you don't have any criminal talent at all, you just put all kinds of advanced technology together and do something that everyone can do. Hey, Qu Mo is really a big failure to keep people like you by his side. ”

"You bastard...... Syllable! "There was a gunshot on the phone, and then I heard a 'bang', like something falling to the ground, and then there was a gurgling sound, the sound of a phone rolling.

I was stunned, knowing that this strange man had been shot while talking to me, and I couldn't say for sure whether he was alive or dead.

The scene of the Wan'an Bridge was still very noisy, I covered my left ear with one hand, and pressed the phone tightly to my right ear with the other, trying to hear what was happening on the other side.

I heard footsteps, not heavy, but very calm, probably the footsteps of an old man.

Later, I heard the sound of Si Xi Suo, which was the sound of someone picking up the phone.

"Mr. Ouyang, are you still there?" It was an unfamiliar voice.

I frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

A deep and old voice on the phone said, "Qu Mo." ”

I have heard Qu Mo's voice, just on the "Yangtze River Shenlong", when he disguised himself as Zhong Tianyue, I once talked to him.

I said coldly, "How do you prove it?" ”

"Can you hear me now?" A familiar voice came from the phone, it was indeed Zhong Tianyue's voice.

I was very shocked in my heart, this Qu Mo was able to change his voice at will, what kind of character is he?

I snorted.

Qu Mo said, "Mr. Ouyang, can I speak in my own voice?" ”

I hummed again.

An old voice came from the phone again: "Mr. Ouyang, what you just said is right, it is indeed useless for such a person to stay by my side." I also want to apologize to you for my lack of discipline and for causing you more trouble. As you may already know, I am actually a businessman, and everything I do has a commercial purpose. But this bastard let me down, he used my resources and did too many things that I didn't know, so I killed him. Oh, maybe you don't like to hear the word kill, but you can interpret it as me cleaning up the portal. ”

Although Qu Mo's voice was hoarse and old, he was very calm and calm, and it seemed that killing people was as casual as breaking flowers and plants on the side of the road.

However, I don't have too much anger at Qu Mo's murder this time, because that perverted weirdo can only live for the sake of harming the world.

While Qu Mo was talking, I also listened carefully to my surroundings. It was very quiet on the other side of the phone, definitely in a quiet confined space. The weirdo just fled the scene of the crime and entered a confined space so quickly?

I first deduced that the confined space was inside the small submersible. But I immediately broke the idea. It would certainly not be so quiet in a small submersible, and it would not be possible for Qumo to be present in a small submersible.

So where would this confined space be?

In the past, small submersibles were hidden under fishing boats, so the destination of small submersibles may be another ship.

And this confined space must be on the hold of a ship. And now it wasn't long before the strange man escaped, and it was clear that Qu Mo was on a nearby ship.

Thinking of this, I had to delay as much time as possible, so I said, "Clean the portal? So if you kill that strange man, should the people give you a prize for eliminating harm for the people? As I spoke, I beckoned to Tang Zhenguo and asked him to give me his phone.

Tang Zhenguo's reaction was quite quick, and under my random gestures, he immediately understood that I needed his mobile phone. This is a tacit understanding.

While I was talking about something, I opened Tang Zhenguo's mobile phone notepad and typed a few words on it: "Qu Mo is on a nearby boat." After typing these words, I handed over the mobile phone to Tang Zhenguo and motioned for him to show it to Lao Lu.

Tang Zhenguo still understood my messy gestures without hindrance.

"Mr. Ouyang, don't waste your time, you won't be able to catch me." Qu Mo said in that old and playful tone.

I was stunned in my heart, knowing that Qu Mo had heard the clue from my gushing and unfounded words, and he knew that I was stalling for time.

I smiled and said, "Sure enough, Professor Qu is still a step ahead." But if you talk to me on the phone, aren't you afraid that I will record the call? ”

Qu Mo said confidently: "If you click the record button, I can immediately turn your phone into a brick, do you believe it?" ”

I was silent for two seconds before I mumbled.

I saw Tang Zhenguo in the distance, who had already shown his mobile phone to Lao Lu, and knew that Lao Lu should arrange someone to arrest Qu Mo in the next step, I thought it would be delayed for as long as I could.

So he said, "Professor Qu, are you so sure we can't catch you?" At least for now, I know you're on the Yangtze River, and you're in the hold of a ship. I guess this ship should be a big ship, and if someone with status like you appears, it must be a high-class cruise ship. ”

Qu Mo laughed on the phone and said, "You are indeed the most intelligent person I have ever met, you can comprehensively deduce my possible location based on the background sound of the call, the time when the submersible was separated and the possibility of storage, and my identity." I admire you very much, and your inference is not wrong. But even if your reasoning is correct, you don't have the right to arrest me now, and more importantly, the longer we talk, the less likely you are to catch me. ”

I said coldly: "If you kill someone, it is the best evidence to arrest you." ”

Qu Mo laughed again: "You only heard a gunshot. And are you really so sure that the sound was a gunshot and not a firecracker? Seeing is believing, Mr. Ouyang, you should understand what I mean. ”

I don't want to listen to Qu Mo's sophistry. Criminals had better be sophistry, whether it is petty theft or a thief, this vice will be vividly manifested in them.

"You don't seem to want to talk to me anymore?" Qu Mo said coldly. His voice was like the devil of the abyss of sin, with a little coldness, a little ruthlessness, and a little arrogance.

I said, "I'm just quietly listening to your sophistry." ”

"Sophistry is a survival skill, and I learned it since I was a child, and I used it to the fullest," Qu Mo said. Whenever sophistry is used to escape punishment and guilt, I have a great sense of joy and superiority. Just as you feel when you solve a case, I believe that this feeling does not need me to elaborate on it. ”

I subconsciously nodded, only to find out whether this nod was admitting myself or Qu Mo, so I looked a little angry and said two words: "Ridiculous!" ”

Qu Mo didn't get angry because of the two words I said, he still said coldly: "It seems that Mr. Ouyang disdains to compare himself with me. This concludes our conversation for today, and I'm looking forward to the next one. By the way, I have to remind you that there is a child who loves the scare box I gave you, this child is very naughty, you should beware of him snatching your scare box. Hehehehehe. ”

Qu Mo hung up the phone after speaking, I looked at the phone, there was a snowflake pattern on the mobile phone screen, as if the TV had no signal, this weirdness made me understand more that Qu Mo's criminal methods have reached the peak. He has a lot of criminal technology that I can't understand and reach. I couldn't help but ask again in my heart: "Qu Mo, what is sacred?" ”

Sure enough, although Lao Lu and the water police searched the boats along the coast, they found nothing.

The snow had stopped, and the previous winds had turned into a gentle breeze, but it was still freezing.

Tang Zhenguo and I stood at the station at Qiaotou, waiting for the bus home. Because by this time, the Wan'an Bridge had been allowed to pass, and the ferry carrying the fuel tanker had been towed to a safe place and unloaded* and the oil tank.

Tang Zhenguo was anxiously making a phone call at this time, and he was fiddling with his mobile phone before we walked here. At first, his expression was very calm, but now it seems that he is a little flustered.

I asked, "What's going on?" ”

Tang Zhenguo held the phone in one hand and said anxiously: "Chi Xue doesn't answer the phone." ”

I said, "She's probably busy!" ”

Tang Zhenguo said: "I sent Chi Xue a WeChat message before, and then turned on the phone, and found that she had a lot of messages and missed calls. But when I called her, there was no answer. ”

I smiled and said, "What message did you send?" Presumably it was this message that made her angry. And you turned off the phone again, which didn't make her misunderstood, which made her angry. ”

Tang Zhenguo shook his head and said, "This information won't make her angry." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Didn't she take care of her father with her mother recently, you call her mother's phone and ask." ”

Tang Zhenguo hesitated, mumbled, and dialed the phone.

"Um, um, um, I'm fine, thank you for your concern, I'll go back." Tang Zhenguo squeezed out a smile and said, then hung up the phone.

Tang Zhenguo looked at me anxiously and said, "She said that Chi Xue came to look for me." But the road was closed here before, and Chi Xue couldn't cross the bridge or go to Beishan. ”

I frowned and said: "Chi Xue usually travels by taxi, and the taxi driver knows that the Wan'an Bridge is closed, so the taxi driver will definitely take Chi Xue from Jiangnan New District, although it is farther, but it can also reach Beishan." ”

Tang Zhenguo nodded and shouted, "Taxi, taxi." "It seems that Tang Zhenguo is quite anxious at this time, from the bridge to our house, taking a taxi is a complete waste of money, and it is not far from here at all.

Getting in the car, I saw Tang Zhenguo's anxious look, and I was amused. Therefore, the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and when this tough guy meets a beauty, he also has six gods and no master.

Just when I was teasing in my heart, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, when Qu Mo was talking to me on the phone just now, he warned me that the child in the gut of a dwarf would go to my house to steal the scare box.

Of course, I know that the purpose of that dwarf going to my house is obviously not to scare the box, his real purpose should be my life.

"Master, hurry up!" I subconsciously said this.

Tang Zhenguo looked at me and frowned, he didn't speak, just turned sideways, I knew that he was adjusting the position of the flying knife hidden on his body.

After getting out of the car, we rushed to 2046B Beishan Road.

When I got downstairs, I noticed that something was wrong. Because it had just snowed, there would be footprints on the stairwell.

Among these footprints, I found a pair of small footprints. Although there are many children on this floor, I understand that these footprints are definitely not left by the children on this floor, and they are not children's footprints.

I am quite familiar with the footprints of children on this floor. In fact, not only the footprints of the children on this floor, but also the footprints of everyone in this building, I have kept in mind. There's nothing strange about it, it's just a hobby of mine as a detective. The people I know and the people who come and go around me can tell who he is just by his footprints. So if someone I know commits a crime and leaves footprints, I will catch him as soon as possible.

I also judged that these little footprints were not children's. Because the trajectory of this footprint is very clear and purposeful, his steps are calm, and there is no staggering at all. Can you imagine how a child who is less than one meter old walks? Never like an adult, out of the calm look.

The appearance of this footprint made me stunned. Could it be that the gnome from the strange man's side has infiltrated my house?

What worries me even more is that in the stairwell, I clearly saw Chi Xue's footprints, and her footprints spanned a large area, obviously running over. It can be seen that she is very worried about Tang Zhenguo.

Tang Zhenguo was about to rush home, I stopped Tang Zhenguo and said softly: "The stranger's accomplices have been here, and Chi Xue has also come." ”

Tang Zhenguo's position was two stairs higher than mine, he frowned and looked down at me, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

I said, "The stranger's accomplice is the dwarf disguised as a child. This man is even more terrifying than the weirdo. He had a murder weapon in his hand that could eject steel balls, Qi Wenguang was killed by this dwarf, and in the fuel factory, he also shot and wounded the special police. And I was injured by hallucinogens, also by the hands of this dwarf. The SWAT Captain had also told me that he had seen a nimble kid at the fuel factory, and that the dwarf must have used steroids to enhance his physique. Qu Mo also warned me. Obviously, this dwarf is very dangerous. ”

Tang Zhenguo looked at me and said, "What do you want to express?" ”

I hesitated for a moment and whispered, "You have to be mentally prepared. ”

Tang Zhenguo was already expressionless at this time. I know he's a real tough guy and he's able to restrain his mind when it counts. However, his expressionless face at this time made me unable to see through his heart.

How will he deal with it?

He pulled out three bright throwing knives from his waist, one in his left hand and two in his right.

He was still expressionless, and said coldly: "Go!" ”

I know that with his momentum, no one can dodge his throwing knives.

We didn't go fast, one in front and one behind, he was in front and I was behind, but we were in the same pace. I've walked through this corridor countless times, but it feels quite long.

I seem to feel Tang Zhenguo's black leather jacket popping, is it my delusion, or is it really ringing?

Finally, we are in front of the gates of 2046B. There are new scratches on the cylinder, and it looks like the lock has been opened with someone*.

There are water stains on the doorknob and doorbell, and I believe that this water stain is left by Chi Xue. Because she came too anxiously to find Tang Zhenguo, she didn't bring an umbrella, and came over against the wind and snow, which is very in line with Chi Xue's character. So it is likely that she soaked her hair with snow and wiped her head with her hands, resulting in water stains on her hands. After that, I rang the doorbell and pulled the handle, so there were also water stains.

Chi Xue will pull the handle after pressing the doorbell, indicating that after pressing the doorbell, the door will open. Apparently it was the dwarf who opened the door, and he just wanted to invite you into the urn.

What happens to Chi Xue in the house? I didn't dare to imagine it, and I didn't dare to tell Tang Zhenguo.

"Ouyang, you open the door."

Tang Zhenguo looked at me with firm eyes and said. He didn't keep his voice down, he just wanted the dwarf to know that he was coming, and that he was not afraid of him.

I nodded and cautiously opened the door. I was really careful, because I knew that as soon as I opened the door, I would be attacked by a dwarf.

I twisted the key, then nodded to Tang Zhenguo, quickly opened the security door, and took advantage of the situation to hide behind the door.

In just two seconds, I heard the sound of steel clashing, the sound of a hurricane howling. But because the security door blocked my view, I didn't see anything.

When I came out from behind the door, Tang Zhenguo had already rushed into the house and was shouting, "Snow, snow, wake up." ”

It turned out that Chi Xue was sitting and tied to a wooden stake, and her left arm was red, obviously injured.

What surprised me even more was that on the wall, a short man was nailed upside down to the wall by a throwing knife piercing the sole of his left foot. On his forehead and heart, there was also a throwing knife with only the handle visible.

The dwarf's life is long gone.

I picked up the weapon dropped by the gnome on the ground, and it turned out to be a delicate nail* mounted jet weapon.

Chi Xue was not seriously injured, but was hit by a steel ball in the shoulder.

An autopsy of the dwarf revealed that he had indeed been injected with some kind of steroid to enhance his physique.

But what caught my eye the most was a playing card found on the dwarf's body.

This card has a vivid picture of the enchanting angel Cecia.

Cecia, she is the representative of the most evil side of human nature, she can give those who are berserk, those who sin, those who are furious, a power that is beyond God's world, but in the end it is also necessary to be removed by God and punish the soul.

Is this series of cases because of the weirdos and dwarfs, who are burdened with the mission given by the enchanting angel Cecia?

unimaginable!
