Chapter 722: The Smell of Conspiracy
In front of Xu Rui was a secret room about ten zhang in size, with a lot of swords stacked on the walls around him, as well as tables, chairs and benches for people to rest, it could be seen that this was about the security center of this underground organization.
There are two things that must be very important to intelligence organizations, the first is secrecy, and the second is security, and it is conceivable that there should be many outlaws on standby in this secret room on weekdays to provide security protection for the entire underground network.
At this moment, however, these people are dead.
There were more than a dozen corpses lying in the small secret room, all of them with a sword in their throats, and the wounds were almost the same position, all located on the carotid artery.
When the carotid artery is cut, the person does not die immediately, but waits for the blood to dry up and then dies slowly, so there is a gruesome scene at the scene.
These corpses all covered their necks with their hands, blood splattered everywhere, and the expressions on the faces of the deceased were either frightened or desperate, like the legendary Hell Shura Field, which made Xu Rui, a person who had experienced a lot of blood, shudder.
Xu Rui solemnly observed the entire secret room and made sure that the murderer had left, so he came over to carefully examine the body.
He found that there was still residual warmth on the corpses, indicating that these people had just died, and they were almost killed with one blow, and they went to Huangquan together in no particular order.
Since the so-called Di Ting has such a big reputation, the martial artist who is responsible for protecting the security of the entire organization will definitely not be an ordinary person.
Being able to wipe them out in an instant, and choosing this method, shows that the murderer is not only extremely martial arts, but also extremely cruel, like an emotionless machine, only choosing the most efficient method of killing.
Just thinking about it, Xu Rui suddenly noticed that there was a middle-aged man among these corpses whose aura was very familiar, if I remembered correctly, this person was the one who put a hood on him when he first entered the secret door.
"No wonder no one has been taking care of me since the accident, it turns out that these people are dead."
Xu Rui sighed, and said in his heart that the killer didn't want to let him find any clues, so he wiped out everyone here, and it is estimated that there will not be a single living mouth left in the entire underground organization now, right?
Xu Rui shook his head, this place has become a chicken rib, and the noise outside is getting louder and louder, it seems that someone has discovered the secret room hidden underground through the gap opened by the grenade, and if he doesn't leave, he may get into big trouble.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately drilled out of this secret room, and quickly moved away from the explosion point of the grenade along the side of the secret passage upward.
Finally, after passing through three secret doors and climbing a long ladder, Xu Rui appeared on the second floor of a small building.
The small building is still in Babao City, it is the back hall of a pharmacy, the shopkeeper and the two guys were killed in the same way at the exit of the secret passage, and only three zhang away, in the main hall of the pharmacy through a curtain, there are still many guests waiting to grab medicine.
Xu Rui wanted to pick up a hat hanging on the wall, but found that there were three nails nailed to the wall, which means that there should have been three hats here, but now there are only two left.
I'm afraid that the murderer is also like himself, after killing the entire underground organization, he came here to find a hat to get out calmly, and it is extremely difficult to catch him.
Xu Rui paused, finally didn't delay any longer, picked up one of the hats and put it on his head, then lifted the curtain in the back hall, and swaggered out under the surprised eyes of the guests.
The underground network of Di Ting went around and around, but in fact, the absolute range was not large, and the pharmacy was only fifty or sixty meters away from the explosion point.
The long street was crowded with people watching the excitement, but almost everyone's attention was attracted by the explosion site, and Xu Rui easily blended into the crowd, like a mud cow entering the sea.
When Xu Rui returned to the "Kemanpeng" teahouse, Li Kuang, who had been waiting there, was about to go crazy, and when he saw Xu Rui, he couldn't hide his identity, so he hurriedly pulled him aside.
"What's the matter, didn't you say that there was a way to get Di Ting to speak, why did you even use a grenade? Do you know that if you come out a little later, I will order the Jinyi guards who are mixed in the crowd to rush in to save you?! ”
Li Kuang said anxiously and angrily, but the concern between the lines made Xu Rui quite moved.
He looked left and right, fortunately, most of the people who would sit in the teahouse to kill time were idle and boring, and they loved to gossip, and when the grenade sounded, they naturally wanted to go to see what was going on, but it made the teahouse a lot empty, and no one paid attention to Li Kuang's slight gaffe.
"There was a little accident."
Xu Rui waved his hand to signal Li Kuang to calm down, and then said in a deep voice: "Someone has been staring at us." ”
"What did you say?"
Li Kuang frowned and said: "None of the Jinyi guards on the periphery know the specific purpose of the mission, and you have also thrown off all your cronies, we can be said to be absolutely secretive, how can we be targeted?"
And even if someone is secretly watching, unless it is a martial saint, I will never believe that anyone can escape the eyes of you and me, and hide around you and me. ”
Xu Rui's face sank again when he heard this.
Yes, the current self is no longer the hairy guy who was powerless, whether it is the five senses that are particularly acute because of genetic enhancement, or the strength of his own first-class master, it is unlikely that he will be followed without knowing it.
What's more, there is Li Kuang by his side, he is not only from Jinyiwei, he is very proficient in all kinds of tracking and counter-reconnaissance methods, and in terms of light skills and concealment skills alone, I am afraid that few people in the whole world can stand out.
If such a combination can still be followed and monitored, it is possible unless the person who shot it is a martial saint.
Obviously, the martial saint has no energy and doesn't bother to do this kind of thing, but how can you explain that the Diting Organization was not eliminated sooner or later, but something happened at the critical moment when he was about to get an answer?
"What's going on?"
Seeing Xu Rui's uncertain face, Li Kuang couldn't help but ask.
Xu Rui roughly recounted what happened after entering the underground network, and Li Kuang's face immediately became solemn.
"Since something happened to Shi Dong and Hu Miao, it means that Dark Chess knows a lot about the Diting Organization, could it be that they originally wanted to uproot this organization, but they just happened to run into you to ask for information?"
Li Kuang frowned and said his guess.
"Murder, murder, a lot of people have died in it, the quick officer, the fast officer!"
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation in the distance, apparently those bold people had found the body dead in the ground.
"Impossible......"
Xu Rui listened to the exclamations and discussions, shook his head firmly, and said: "Shi Dong and Hu Miao have been dead for a while, if the dark chess has the heart to clean up the truth, they will never wait until now, let alone make such a big noise, so the people who are being monitored can only be you and me." ”
Li Kuang frowned: "Who is it, what means have been used, to be able to spy on you and me without being discovered?" Is it ......?"
Speaking of this, Li Kuang's gaze suddenly became sharp, and he said word by word: "Could it be that there is a traitor in your cronies who is a hidden chess player?" ”
Xu Rui pondered for a moment, then shook his head again: "I deliberately didn't let anyone get involved in this matter, just to avoid the situation you said, now, even if there is really a mole around me, it is impossible to spy on me." ”
"That's weird!"
Li Kuang sat on the wax completely, thought for a while, and said: "The body was discovered, and now the people are reporting to the official, do you want me to let Jin Yiwei take advantage of this reason to take over the case and investigate the scene well?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head again and said, "No need, there shouldn't be anything valuable left at the scene, let's go back first, there are a few things I have to confirm first." ”
Li Kuang was stunned: "What's the matter, is it the key?" ”
Xu Rui nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It's very important, maybe the identity of the murderer and the dark chess master is behind those clues!" ”
