Chapter 9: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes: The Old Pilgrim Surfaces (2)
Huang Yanyan heard this, his eyes flashed, his hand clenched and clenched, this second slap did not fall after all. I suddenly remembered something, took out her bronze ring from my pocket, handed it to her, and whispered thank you. This is what she threw down when I fell into the thief's hole, and now it is returned to its original owner. Huang Yanyan frowned, took it over, and slapped it heavily with a "snap".
At this time, Fu Gui reminded on the side: "Hey, I took such a big risk from Tianjin to come here to wash away my grievances for Brother Xu Yicheng Xu, not to watch you flirt." Miss Huang, have you made your account clear? Let's get down to business. Huang Yanyan glanced coldly at the five fingerprints on my face: "It's clear." β
"It's good to pay it off. There are two accounts in this world that can't be owed, a romantic account and a benevolent account, and if you miscalculate, it will cause trouble. Fu Gui teased. I stroked my face, nodded awkwardly, and couldn't wait to quickly change the subject: "Why did you go to find Old Man Fu?" β
Huang Yanyan said: "You said it yourself, you have to beware of the people in the five veins, I have no choice." Fu Gui added: "When this girl found me, she startled me. The girl said that your kid is in danger. I can't see Lao Xu's descendants without saving them, so this old bone has to venture out and break through. β
"But how do you know I'm in danger?" I asked.
Fu Guidao: "Huang Yatou said that Huang Kewu didn't know about the Huang family's report this time. In other words, there are other people who are trying to borrow the Huang family to rectify you. This person's intentions are not small, and he sees you as a thorn in his side. If you stay in the detention center, you will be slaughtered by others, and you will never be safe. β
His statement is diametrically opposed to Liu Yiming, and I can't help but be dumbfounded.
I'll tell him about Liu Yiming today. Fu Gui smiled: "This is not a contradiction. Liu Yiming's words are not wrong, but he only calculated that you would be safe in prison, which is a defensive position; And I'm going to take you out, it's an offensive. The art of war is cloudy, do what the enemy is most unwilling to do, get you out of prison, and if he adds a variable to the mastermind behind the scenes, he can only remedy it, and sooner or later he will reveal a flaw, that is our chance! β
At this point he slammed his fist on the table, shaking the frame on it to the ground and his eyes were full of fierceness. When Fu Gui was on the land of Beiping, he had seen all the scenes of the three religions and nine streams, and he had also solved a lot of strange cases, both his vision and knowledge were first-class. After his analysis, I realized that there was such a deep meaning in the original robbery of me.
"It's hard work, old man." I thank him from the bottom of my heart. Fu Gui has been rewarded in Shenyang Road so far, but he went to Beijing to rob the prisoner car in the detention center, this courage and righteousness are incredible. I was grateful and felt that my grandfather hadn't made this friend back then.
"Don't thank me." Fu Gui waved his hand, "I'll help you, first, to see Xu Yicheng's face; But more importantly, I have never figured out what he did back then. When this matter is satisfactorily settled, you must tell me the whole thing, and let me, the old man, enter the coffin with my eyes closed. β
I raised the three fingers of my right hand, the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger, which symbolized the heavens, the earth, and the people, as well as the king, the relatives, and the teacher, which was the most solemn gesture of the old rivers and lakes. I solemnly swore on the spot that when the truth of the Buddha's head case was revealed, I would tell you all the details, and the violators would be thundered.
Fu Gui nodded with satisfaction. I asked him what to do next, and he said do you remember asking Huang Yanyan to investigate? I said yes.
Before I went to Tianjin and Anyang, I received two anonymous letters, both of which contained only two words: "fraud". An address is also hinted at. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as the truth unraveled, I felt more and more that these two anonymous letters were crucial to solving the mystery. So when I asked my head to send a message to Huang Yanyan, I specially told her to investigate this address.
The person who wrote the letter is familiar with my itinerary, and it must be related to the five veins. Huang Yanyan used his advantage to focus his investigation on the overlap between the members of the Five Veins and this address. It turned out that the address was a high-end tea club, and the manager of the club was surnamed Shen Jun, who was the distant nephew of Shen Yunchen, the head of the Qingzimen.
Huang Yanyan reminded me that he also went to the dinner party where the five veins gathered that day, and he stood behind Shen Yunchen. I thought about it for a while, and vaguely remembered that the face was a little familiar, but he had been hiding in the shadows and hadn't said a word, and he wasn't particularly impressed.
What is the purpose of this person who wrote me two anonymous letters in a row, but refused to reveal his identity? It's a pity that the management of that club is very strict, and it only accepts businessmen from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan who come to invest in the mainland, and even Huang Yanyan can't swagger in. Fu Gui was afraid of startling the snake, so he didn't let her continue to try, but left it to me.
"Since he hinted at your address, there must be a way to let you in."
It dawned on me. At the dinner that day, Shen Yunchen once gave me a business card, saying that if you have something, you can take the business card and ask Qingzimen for help. The texture of that business card is very unusual, with a bamboo texture, and I think it is specially made. Shen Jun also knows about this, and with it, I may be able to enter that address.
Fu Guiyi clapped his hands: "Very good!" No problem, let's go right away without further ado. β
"Leaving now?" I was stunned.
"How long are you going to stay in someone's boudoir?"
Only then did I realize that this room was originally Huang Yanyan's boudoir, and I was a little at a loss. Yanyan looked indifferent: "I sold this house soon, so it has nothing to do with it." With that, she pushed the door open and went out.
Fu Gui shrugged, took out a wide-brimmed cap and put it on for me, and got another mask: "Now the news of the prisoner robbery has not been mentioned in the news or newspapers, and it seems that it has been suppressed by someone with a heart." But the police are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the investigation is very strong, so you hide a little before you go out. β
I took the line, surrounded myself, and the three of us went out together. There was a Santana parked outside the door, and Huang Yanyan opened the door of the cab and sat in with his long legs. I chose the seat behind the cab with the intention of not being obtrusive. As soon as he sat in, Huang Yanyan suddenly turned around and showed a stiff smile: "By the way, I forgot to congratulate you, the fast son-in-law of the Kido family." β
I was speechless for a moment. Before returning home, Kana Kido really told the people of the Five Pulses about our marriage. Although this is expedient, it is indeed undefensible.
"I'm sorry......" I said sincerely, feeling weak for a while. I don't know if this apology refers to me cheating on her in Anyang, or if I am marrying Kana Kido.
Huang Yanyan shrugged, saying that this matter had nothing to do with her, and I didn't need to explain. I grabbed the seat in front of me with my hand and poked my head over: "Yanyan, I'...... Well, thank you for believing in me this time. I'll tell you everything. β
Huang Yanyan got a pair of sunglasses from the visor and put them on, covering most of his face: "I just want to know who is using the Huang family as a gunman." There was murder in her cold tone.
I stumbled back and glanced up to see that the bronze ring happened to be tied to a blue thread, gently shaking in the rearview mirror.
The high-end tea club is located near Jianguomen in the east of the city, a short distance from the diplomatic apartment. Our car couldn't be parked there, so Fu Gui and I got out of the car first, and Huang Yanyan found a place to park. Fu Gui got a small bugging device out of nowhere and asked me to put it on my body. He hid nearby and was in charge of listening. This lawless detective even got a police uniform, and in case of an extraordinary situation, he planned to pretend to be a police officer to interfere.
I got everything in order, stepped into the clubhouse, and saw the gold plaque of "Fragrance and Tea". This club is really magnificent, there are four sandalwood chairs, two Taishi chairs, and two character painting screens in the hall, all of which are Ming and Qing Dynasty genuine products. Behind the counter is a large bamboo cabinet, which is staggered with various colors of tea and the names of the depositors.
Seeing me come in, a cheongsam beauty greeted me, looked at it for a while, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, we only accept members here." I took out my business card and handed it to her: "I want to meet your manager Shen Jun." When the cheongsam beauty saw the name, her face changed slightly, and she hurriedly returned to the counter, made a call, and quickly put it down again: "Hello, please wait in Zhusi Hall, our manager will be there soon." β
Then the cheongsam beauty led the way and took me all the way indoors. This club is really not small, everywhere winding paths, I was about to dizzy, suddenly there was a cluster of bamboo trees next to the corridor in front of me, presumably it was the bamboo hall she said. I was just about to step forward when a hand suddenly reached out from the side and covered my mouth. I wanted to struggle, but I didn't have any strength at all, and watched as the hand took the bugging device away and gently handed it to the cheongsam beauty who led the way. I was dragged all the way to a cramped office and dumped on the floor.
That's when I saw the man who was dragging me away. This is a strong man with a height of nearly one meter nine, with short sword eyebrows, short hair, a high nose bridge, and bulging muscles under the Tang suit, no wonder I have no ability to resist at all.
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to be so reckless." The strong man sat in an office chair, a thin chair that seemed to be unable to support his weight and made a creaking sound.
"Who are you?" I looked up, and suddenly it seemed familiar to me.
"You're really a noble man, how forgetful." The strong man grinned, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth, "On the day I robbed Professor Xu Heping's house, I was broken by you." β
On the day my parents committed suicide, the head of the school's Revolutionary Committee combat team came with a group of people to raid the house. The head was Wei Dajun, the main player of the college basketball team, and one of my father's students. That day, I burst out of anger and broke two of his ribs, and I lay in the hospital for months, and I was detained for several days. I haven't seen him since that fight, and I didn't expect to meet him here more than a decade later.
"Are you...... Wei Dajun? I called out his name in surprise, and the memory slowly came back to my mind. Wei Dajun ripped open his collar, pointed to his chest with his finger, and said with emotion: "Those two steel nails are still in the bones." Today they have a faint pain, and I have a hunch that you are coming. β
Cold sweat flowed down my back, how could there be such a coincidence in this world, in the club of Qingzimen, I actually met an old man I didn't really want to see. What did he drag me here for? Is it to avenge the revenge of the year? Thinking of this, I subconsciously glanced out of the door, and Wei Dajun smiled: "Sensei, I have sent the eavesdropping device to the Zhusi Hall, your companion, I am afraid that you are still waiting quietly." β
I tried to compose myself and wondered, "Why are you here...... No, how did you know I was coming here? Wei Dajun tilted his neck, moved the chair closer, and pointed to himself: "Because the person who wrote to you twice was not Shen Jun, but me." β
I was stunned, what the hell was going on? My eyes looked at the stack of newspapers on my desk and a shelf for Parker pens. It is almost certain that those two anonymous letters were completed here.
Wei Dajun didn't answer my question immediately, but changed the question: "You must have done research before you came, do you have any impression of the name Shen Jun?" I shook my head. The first time I knew the name was from the mouth of the yellow smoke.
"And no wonder...... You weren't too old to remember that many ......"
He leaned back, his hands on his abs, and the mocking expression vanished, replaced by a look of nostalgia and guiltβsomehow, a faint sadness.
"He and I were college classmates and students of Professor Xu and Xu."
When I heard it, I was almost stunned. I always thought that my father had completely cut off contact with the Five Pulses, but among his students, there were still children of the Five Pulses.
"My father, do you know about this?"
"I don't know...... Wei Dajun touched his chin, "Professor Xu is enthusiastic about people, but his mind is too simple, he only has teaching in his head, and he is not interested in other things." Otherwise, how could we have scolded him for being a white dictator at that timeβhey, we have wronged a good teacher. Speaking of this, Wei Dajun smiled self-deprecatingly.
"It's not just wrong." I commented coldly. A shadow swept over Wei Dajun's face, his lips squirmed for a few moments, and he didn't say anything after all. I asked again: "What did you say about that Shen Jun, what did he and you do?" β
"It's all ridiculous when I was young...... "The voice was infinitely emotional.
Wei Dajun said that he and Shen Jun were classmates and had taken Professor Xu's classes together since their freshman year, and the two were like-minded and had a particularly good relationship. When it came to "**", Wei Dajun relied on his good background and hard composition to become the chief captain of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Resolute Combat Team, and Shen Jun served as a military advisor to give him advice. The two of them joined forces and knocked down all the surrounding schools, and no one dared to mess with them.
The Workers' and Peasants' Resolute Fighting Team has two main tasks: one is to confront the Red Guards of other academies and universities; One is to find out all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods in his university and criticize them vigorously. The commander of the former mission was Wei Dajun, and the planner of the latter mission was Shen Jun. Shen Jun has a strong talent in this area, no matter how deep the black history and black remarks of those old professors and scholars are hidden, he can dig them out one by one, and quote scriptures to form a crime. Therefore, their university will hold a criticism meeting every three days, and every time there is something new, it seems to be more revolutionary than other colleges. However, Shen Jun never took credit and always gave glory to Wei Dajun, so not many people knew his name.
At one point, Shen Jun approached Wei Dajun and gave him a plan with a list of several professors who had "not yet been thoroughly exposed," including Xu Heping's name. Wei Dajun was a little hesitant, because these professors had a good reputation among students, and Xu Heping had helped him. But Shen Jun told Wei Dajun that the revolution was not a dinner party, and it could not be gentle and frugal. He's organized enough critical material to knock those people to the ground and step on one foot.
Since he said so, Wei Dajun no longer objected. The combat team was familiar with this set of processes, first with overwhelming big-character posters, then criticism within the department and the academy, and then to criticism by the whole school, and even escorted these professors to other colleges and universities to parade on the streets. Under the new round of offensive, some professors gave in and took the initiative to admit their crimes, some professors went crazy, and only Xu Heping and his wife resolutely refused to admit their mistakes. Wei Dajun decided that he could use unconventional means when necessary, but he heard the news that Xu Heping and his wife committed suicide by throwing themselves into Taiping Lake.
When Wei Dajun heard the news, he was shocked in his heart. However, Shen Jun told him that these counter-revolutionaries tried in vain to escape criticism by dying, and they must not fulfill their wishes, and suggested that people should be organized to raid their homes immediately. So Wei Dajun led a large group of men and horses to my house, and ran into me who had just returned home, and then there was that fight......
"Professor Xu was a good teacher and senior, and in retrospect, he really took care of his students. It's a pity that at that time, we young people were simple-minded, easily excited, and had almost no ability to distinguish between right and wrong...... Make a wish, I am actually your father-killing enemy. β
When Wei Dajun said this, his eyes were red, and his fingers trembled slightly on the table. I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I didn't know whether to grab him by the collar and scold him, or deal with it indifferently.
"Do you regret it now?"
"Yes, but not now, but after you wounded me, I was woken up. I was in the hospital for a few months and figured out quite a few things. But the harm to Professor Xu has always made me feel ashamed. I've always ...... I've always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to Professor Xu and you in person, otherwise my soul will be disturbed. Wei Dajun pressed his hand to his chest with a solemn expression. Only then did I notice that he had a cross around his neck.
A young Red Guard general who was heroic and dry in the past, but now he has chosen to convert to God, such a change makes me feel a lot of emotion.
I looked at Wei Dajun quietly, I should have hated him to the core, but strangely, I didn't have any hatred. It was a crazy time, all normal people fell into madness, this is the sadness of the times, not someone's fault. Wei Dajun has been tormented by this kind of guilt for so many years, which shows that he has a good conscience, and this alone is already stronger than too many people.
"So you left the note to apologize to me?"
"Yes, but it's not just that." Wei Dajun glanced at me meaningfully, "The story is not over yet. β
Wei Dajun went on to say that after he was discharged from the hospital, he resigned from the combat team and went to rural Liaoning to join the team. And Shen Jun engaged in tandem across the country, and the two lost contact. Later, when the "**" ended, Wei Dajun returned to the city, did nothing, and worked as a security section chief in a state-owned unit. He stumbled upon Shen Jun, who was running a tea business with the support of his family. Shen Jun remembered the old love, so he recruited Wei Dajun into the company and started a business together. In this club, Shen Jun's general manager is only in name, and the person who has really been in town for many years is Wei Dajun.
It was at this time that Wei Dajun knew that Shen Jun originally belonged to an organization called the China Ancient Appreciation Research Association, and also learned about the existence of the five veins behind it. By chance, Wei Dajun learned from Shen Jun that Professor Xu Heping turned out to be the only descendant of the Baizimen, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Is it really a coincidence that a child of the Qingzi Sect actually became a student of the descendants of the lost Baizi Sect?
Wei Dajun realized at this time that the series of raids on the house was probably not a simple revolutionary act. When Shen Jun was planning the criticism, he casually pointed the finger at Xu Heping's family, but this intention was hidden in a series of other criticisms, and it was not easy for people to discover. Wei Dajun felt guilty about Xu Heping, and decided to figure out this matter, so he went to ask a few parties back then, and this question really asked two clues.
A clue is: Shen Jun was escorted to this university, and the middle school that escorted him was a high school in Hunan. The place of origin in his academic background file is fake.
Another clue is even more important: on the night of copying Xu Heping's house, someone saw Shen Jun secretly running to Professor Xu's house. According to eyewitnesses, he began to think that Shen Jun wanted to be greedy and pick up some foreign money. But he secretly looked for a while and found that Shen Jun was rummaging around the house, as if he was looking for something.
Wei Dajun guessed that maybe there was something hidden in Xu Heping's house, which attracted the attention of Qingzimen. Qingzimen sent Shen Jun to the university to approach Xu Heping, wanting to find out this thing. In order not to let Xu Heping notice it, he also deliberately changed Shen Jun's hometown to other provinces.
After listening to this story, I fell into a long silence. I always thought that my parents committed suicide because they were humiliated, which is a tragedy of "**". But I never thought that there was such a motive hidden behind their deaths. What Shen Jun was trying to find was undoubtedly the two notebooks that Kido Yuzo had returned to Xu Heping. Among them, "Su Dinglu" is in my hand, so the other one may have been taken by him.
After a long time, "**" is just a background, Wei Dajun is just a chess piece, the real cause and effect still has to be attributed to my grandfather Xu Yicheng, and even to the origin of Xu Heng and the Jade Buddha of Zetianmingtang thousands of years ago.
A feeling of horror hit my heart, could it be that my Xu family really can't get rid of the curse of this Jade Buddha, and every generation will die because of it?
In any case, one thing I can be sure of is that Shen Jun's motive must have something to do with the people behind the attack on me. For the first time, I felt the evidence of the real existence of this black hand. I asked, "Listening to your inference, the main messenger behind Shen Jun is Shen Yunchen and Old Lady Shen?" β
"I don't think so." Wei Dajun changed his posture, and his voice lowered unconsciously, "Shen Jun has actually been very dissatisfied with Shen Yunchen, always saying that she is too conservative, saying that this industry should also have the spirit of reform, and the steps should be bigger." I think the person behind Shen Jun may be an old courtier. β
"Old courtier?"
"This is probably a code name, or honorific title, I only occasionally heard Shen Jun mention it. When he spoke of this man, his tone was respectful, but no one knew who he was referring to. That person seems to have established a huge channel in the five veins, using the resources and connections of the Antiquarian Society to create fakes and smuggle cultural relics. β
My heart moved, Ji Yunfu also said something similar.
"Then what do you mean by writing an anonymous letter to me saying that there is fraud?"
Wei Dajun said that Shen Jun trusted him very much, so he knew a little about the gathering of the five veins, and even knew that I was ordered to investigate the Buddha's head. He knew that there was a hidden "old courtier" who killed Professor Xu in the five veins, and now that Professor Xu's son was involved in this matter, they would definitely strike again. Wei Dajun did not want this kind of tragedy to happen again, and in order to atone for his sins, he secretly wrote an anonymous letter to warn me, wanting to keep me away from this muddy water. When I ignored it, he took the risk of writing a second letter to warn him again.
"But now that you are in this posture, I'm afraid it will be impossible to persuade you to leave." Wei Dajun said with a wry smile. I nodded firmly: "It's not my business alone, it's about my father, my grandfather, and several lives. I can't go back. β
"Who is the old court, I'm afraid you can only ask Shen Jun in person."
Speaking of this, Wei Dajun sighed, got up and walked to the window, and said in a deep voice with his hands behind his back: "If you want to see Shen Jun, go to Houhai Hutong, he will go there every Thursday to drink tea." Shen Jun is my friend and my benefactor, I won't help you more. I nodded silently, I could feel his contradictions and pain.
Wei Dajun, who had his back to me, was silent for a while, and made a gesture to ask him to leave. When I walked to the door, his hesitant voice came from behind me: "Make a wish, can I get your forgiveness?" β
"I don't know...... But if there really is a kingdom of heaven, I think both my grandfather and my father can see it at this time. β
"Thank you and may the Lord bless you." There was a kind of relief in his voice after a long period of repression. I pushed the door open and walked out, and behind me came the prayers of Wei Dajun.
When I came out of the clubhouse, Fu Gui was about to die. He had been listening to the bugging device, and when he found that it had been silent for half an hour, he realized that something was wrong. I came out five minutes later, and he was going to put on his police uniform and go in.
I told you a little about Wei Dajun, and Fu Gui and Huang Yanyan were surprised when they heard it. Especially Huang Yanyan, his face became very bad: "Make a wish, do you still remember the Dragon Pattern Jue?" β
"How could you forget......" I muttered. It was precisely because Huang Yanyan took the Dragon Pattern Jue to Anyang that a series of things came out.
"In fact, asking me to take the Dragon Pattern Jue to Anyang to find Zheng Guoqu was not my grandfather's wish, but a request from several elders in the sect. I had no choice but to do what I was told. Huang Yanyan said so many words in one breath in a rare way.
My brow furrowed. Listening to Huang Yanyan's words, I feel that there seems to be a force in the five veins now, which has gone beyond the limits of the sect, and can secretly engage in tandem under several heads, and even manipulate internal affairs beyond the heads.
"Ahem, what's the fuss. If you catch Shen Jun, won't you ask for everything? Fu Gui said disapprovingly, he is a man of action.
Tomorrow is Thursday, I discussed briefly with Fu Gui and Huang Yanyan, and went separately to prepare. The next day, we arrived early near Houhai Hutong and soon saw a middle-aged man pacing slowly into the alley. Huang Yanyan walked over first and stopped him. When Shen Jun saw that it was her, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Yanyan? How did you get here? β
Huang Yanyan casually found a reason to talk to him. She has a great reputation among the five veins, and Shen Jun is not good at brushing his sleeves away, so he stands with her and idle. Fu Gui and I disguised ourselves as sanitation workers, slowly approached him, and suddenly became embarrassed, and one of us grabbed one of his arms. Fu Gui shook his wrist and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief dipped in **, and Shen Jun immediately fell unconscious.
We put him under the garbage truck and swaggered out to a bungalow we had rented temporarily. Huang Yanyan's identity is sensitive, so he stayed outside to keep a sentry, leaving only me and Fu Gui. We tied Shen Jun to a chair and woke him up with cold water. He woke up and glanced at it, and he understood what had happened.
Fu Gui was very excited, saying that he hadn't judged anyone for many years, and he had almost forgotten his skills. I was so frightened that I hurriedly told him not to use the old society. Fu Gui sneered and said What do you children know, the police in the past had a way to keep the prisoners from seeing any scars, and they were still in pain.
This conversation between the two of us did not avoid people, and deliberately put pressure on Shen Jun. But when he heard it, he looked disdainful: "Make a wish, if you are a criminal who absconds in fear of crime, you don't turn yourself in, and you dare to kidnap citizens, aren't you afraid of adding crime to crime?" β
It seems that the news of my escape from the detention center is already known in the five veins. I slowly walked up to Shen Jun and looked straight into my eyes: "You were also my father's student at the beginning?" β
Shen Jun didn't expect that the first question I asked was actually this question, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Not bad." I've met you a few times. β
"You entered that university just to get close to my father, right?"
"Not bad." Shen Jun replied really happily, "Originally, I wanted to play a good student and win Xu Heping's trust." It's a pity that he doesn't know anything at all, and he can't complain that I use some extreme means to borrow the east wind of "**". β
I saw that he was calm, as normal as he said to get up in the morning to eat and brush his teeth, and I was so angry that my teeth chattered, and I wanted to rush over and punch him. Shen Jun narrowed his eyes and looked at my expression, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"Who made you do this?" I yelled. The thought that this person killed my parents makes it difficult for me to stay calm, not to mention the inextricable relationship between him and the Buddha's head case. Shen Jun didn't answer, he was actually laughing. As soon as I saw his smiling face, blood rushed to my head, and I slapped him twice so hard that the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but the strange smile was still on his face.
"Say, who is the old courtier?"
Shen Jun's pupils changed slightly: "Oh? You even found out the old court? It's not easy. β
"Don't worry, Xiao Xu, all the prisoners started like this." Fu Gui patted me on the shoulder, took out a piece of white gauze, and shook it in front of Shen Jun, "Young man, do you know what this is?" β
Shen Jun snorted coldly and looked at Fu Gui like an idiot. Fu Gui said: "This is an ordinary piece of gauze, which has good breathability. Wait a minute I'll cover it over your face and put your face back under the tap and let the water drip slowly onto your face. β
Shen Jun sneered: "So what, wash my face?" Fu Gui said: "At first, you won't feel pain, but gradually, you will have the feeling of suffocation, which gradually expands, making your senses extremely sensitive. Every drop of water is like a ** thrown in your face, making you feel painful. At that time, we called this the Dragon King's birthday. β
"Trick up!"
Fu Gui flattened Shen Jun, covered his face with gauze, and then gently twisted the faucet a little, just enough for the water to form a drop of water flowing out, with a slight break in the middle. These droplets drip onto the gauze and are initially impermeable, only to make the gauze slightly wet. Slowly, the whole piece of gauze was soaked, and the water dripped down again, and it would flow through the cloth layer to Shen Jun's mouth and nose.
I could hear that Shen Jun's breathing was calm at first, then it became rapid, and after five minutes, the sound of breathing had become a snorting sound, and his chest was constantly rising and falling, and it seemed that Fu Gui's methods would soon be effective. Fu Gui was like a demon, whispering in Shen Jun's ear: "Recruit it, you can be more relaxed." Shen Jun sighed, his body was still struggling, like a fish on a chopping board.
Even though he was my enemy, I still felt uncomfortable with this kind of forced confession, and turned and walked out of the house. Huang Yanyan just walked back: "Someone is coming." β
"Who?" I was shocked to hear that only the three of us knew about this room.
"Medicine, otherwise, I'll ask him to come over and help."
When I heard that it was him, I was immediately relieved. If there is anyone in the five veins who can trust, except for yellow smoke, it is medicine. I didn't have time to inform him a few days ago, this kidnapping of Shen Jun is a big operation, I was worried that there would be not enough manpower, so I asked Huang Yanyan to secretly tell Yao otherwise. I also specially told not to force it, after all, I am a fugitive now, and it is not appropriate to pull unrelated people into the water.
I didn't expect the medicine to be otherwise, this kid had a ruthless personality, and he ran over without saying a word.
When he saw me, he was so excited that he stretched out his arms and gave me a French hug, and he couldn't stop muttering, "Fuck, buddy, ouch fuck!" After the hug, he punched me in the shoulder again: "You stinky boy! You don't treat buddies as brothers, do you? In Anyang, he said that he would run, pretending to be a common man in Qishan to be abducted and deceived, and he was happy with a Japanese girl. It's good to go back to Beijing now, I'd rather tell Yanyan than tell me, heavy color and light friends! β
Yao Otherwise, his eyes widened, and he looked angry. I apologized to him again and again, and he was satisfied. After the greetings were over, Yao Ran restrained his smile: "I have listened to Yanyan in detail." I didn't expect you kid to cause such a big trouble, this is to openly confront the five veins. β
"Are you scared?"
Otherwise, he rubbed his hands and his eyes lit up: "How come!" Rebellion against family rule, just imagination is enough to make people's blood boil! Count me in. I shook his hand and smiled. A shout suddenly came from the back room, and Yao Ran turned his head suddenly, and asked with interest: "Is it Old Man Fu who is interrogating Shen Jun?" β
"Hmm......" I wasn't embarrassed to elaborate. After many years of education, I always felt that torture was a method used only by the Kuomintang reactionaries. Yao Otherwise, he opened the curtain and looked at it, and was very curious about the punishment of this water droplet, and observed it for a while before he retracted his neck and exclaimed: "This thing looks amazing, can it work?" β
"Since Old Man Fu is confident, let him try itβafter all, only Shen Jun knows where the 'Old Chaofeng' in the five veins is."
Yao Otherwise, he shook his head: "You don't know Shen Jun as a person. He has a hidden needle in his personality, and he looks kind, but he is actually as strong as a donkey. If you coerce a confession like this, he may not tell the truth. "I asked him if there was anything he could do. Otherwise, he rolled up his sleeves: "My buddy has been messing with him for a while, maybe there is a way to pry his mouth open." β
I readily agreed, and went into the back room with him. Fu Gui was still dripping water slowly, turning the faucet from time to time to adjust the amount of water. Shen Jun's limbs twitched more and more violently each time, as if he had received an electric shock. I didn't expect this unsightly punishment to have such an effect, and I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart. Otherwise, he walked over, lifted the gauze to look at Shen Jun's face, re-covered it, and gave the old man a thumbs up.
"If Grandma Shen sees him like this, she will be so angry that she will turn her back on him." Otherwise, laugh. I stabbed him: "If you keep your voice low and let Shen Jun hear it, you will be tantamount to completely turning your face with the five veins." β
"Afraid of what? They can't help us. Otherwise, he disdained it, and used his fingers to flick the layer of gauze, and was very interested in the distorted face under the gauze.
"You can think clearly, if you do it like this, the involvement will be deep."
"! Your bus ticket to Xi'an, you bought it with my money! If you want to talk about involvement, I was involved at that time, and now I don't want to kick my buddy away. β
I smiled and nodded, but the next moment, I became stunned, and my heart suddenly became heavy. Yao Otherwise, I was still observing the torture with great interest, so I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Otherwise, we are buddies, right?" β
"yes."
"Buddies should be honest with each other, right?"
"Of course."
"Where did you go after I left Anyang?"
"Hmm...... Yanyan returned to Beijing, I had some personal affairs in Anyang, and I stayed for a while, and it was not long after I returned to Beijing. β
I closed my eyes, opened them again, stared at his eyes and asked slowly, "Then can you explain, how do you know that I went to Xi'an by car?" β
Yao's smile suddenly froze.
