Chapter 87: Negotiation
There were nine black-robed people, standing quietly in a row, motionless like nine dummies, and they didn't make any sound, this picture is very weird, but we can't see their faces, and we don't know if they have a worried look, or if they have been very calm.
Liu Ting and Wang Qiuqiu, who were kidnapped by them, had already stopped crying, and they had already become numb after being abducted for so long, and their eyes were a little sluggish.
When the cousin appeared, there was movement on the black-robed man's side.
"Yo, isn't this Officer Ren Hu, I didn't expect to meet here after a long time, it's really surprising to me!" The black-robed man holding Liu Ting said in a surprised tone, but anyone could hear the mockery inside.
The cousin raised his eyebrows: "It seems that they are still acquaintances, and they have dealt with each other before, can you tell me which time it was?" ”
The black-robed man shook his head and smiled hoarsely: "Now is not the time for us to catch up, Officer Ren Hu, hand over the box." ”
The cousin looked at him calmly without answering, and glanced at the black-robed people next to him: "Did you bring eight people today, will there be a little less?" ”
"Less nonsense, hurry up and hand over the box, damn it ruined our plans and caused us to waste so much time." The black-robed man holding Wang Qiuqiu hostage said angrily.
"Yes, Officer Ren Hu, I thought you would only be in Shonan Province, but I didn't expect you to take care of the affairs of G Province, the matter here has been going on in secret for so long, but I didn't expect such a big accident to happen in the end, it's really difficult to do." The black-robed man holding Liu Ting hostage sighed helplessly.
"I can give you the box." The cousin said suddenly.
"Oh?" The black-robed man was surprised that his cousin had agreed to their request so readily.
"But I have a question for you, and I need your answer."
"Yes, but I need to see the box first." The black-robed man hesitated for a moment and agreed to his cousin.
The cousin took out a cloth bag from the backpack behind his back, opened the bag, and the box covered in talisman paper was inside.
"You just carry it with you?" The black-robed man said with some surprise.
Seeing the box, the black-robed man was also relieved, and said to his cousin: "What does Officer Ren Hu want to ask, first of all, I will answer if I can answer, and I won't say anything if I can't, and can you let your subordinates retreat, don't you feel crowded when you stand so close?" ”
The cousin glanced at Huang Xuan, and Huang Xuan opened his mouth to ask the policemen with guns around him to step back a little, but naturally they would not retreat too far, after all, these are our safety guarantees.
Wei Lin naturally didn't retreat, he stood beside his cousin, listening to their negotiations with an anxious face, and his eyes kept on Liu Ting, but he didn't have an impulsive quarrel this time, and probably knew that all the hope of saving Liu Ting was on his cousin, so he didn't dare to say a word when he stood next to him.
Naturally, I didn't retreat, Huang Xuan also stood aside, and the black-robed man didn't care if he saw us standing on the side.
When the police backed away, the cousin said, "First question, why don't you take the box away first when you think you've been discovered?" ”
The black-robed man replied directly: "It's very simple, the ritual can't be interrupted in the middle of the ceremony, so we'd rather risk this thing falling into your hands before the ritual is completed than take it away." ”
"What kind of ritual are you talking about?" Huang Xuan on the side suddenly interjected.
There was silence on the black-robed man's side, and after a while, the black-robed man who held Liu Ting hostage spoke: "This police officer, I am only responsible for answering Officer Ren's questions, but if you want to know, it's not that I can't tell you, after all, you came to this bluestone town where birds don't for this matter, do you understand a little when I say this?" ”
The black-robed man let out a hehe laugh, and when I heard what the black-robed man said, Huang Xuan's eyes suddenly widened, and I saw that his fists were clenched and he made a "click" sound, obviously he was trying his best to control his emotions.
"So, the case in Bluestone Town over the years is really your ghost, and you are the one behind the death of that couple!?" Huang Xuan stared at them.
I also remembered that Huang Xuan's original purpose here was to investigate the bizarre deaths between couples and husbands.
The black-robed man shook his head in denial: "This officer, you also think too highly of us, we are also ordinary people, how can we do the things you said?" ”
Hearing the black-robed man's denial, Huang Xuan's eyes were fierce and he said angrily, "Do you still want to quibble? ”
The black-robed man shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Alas, no one even believes the truth these days, what a headache!" ”
"You didn't do it!" At this time, the cousin spoke: "But it has nothing to do with you, if I guessed correctly, it should be all for it, right?" ”
Saying that, the cousin raised the bag in his hand, and no one on the black-robed man's side answered or denied it.
"You're sacrificing?" The cousin's voice was cold, and his eyes looked at the group of black-robed people with some compulsion.
Sacrifice? As soon as the cousin's words came out, everyone was a little stunned, and the things described by this word were a little terrifying.
"Officer Ren Hu, are you sure you want me to say these things in public?"
The black-robed man asked his cousin rhetorically, his tone revealed a sense of playfulness, and it didn't seem to be a big deal for them, but on the other hand, his cousin's face was gloomy and a little scary.
"Cousin?"
I've never seen my cousin with such a gloomy face, as if he was enduring something, I don't know why my cousin suddenly had such a big mood swing, maybe there is a story in it that I don't know.
The cousin closed his eyes for a while, as if he was calming down, and then opened his eyes and said indifferently: "Just talk about this incident, don't give me something to talk about!" ”
"Huh." The black-robed man smiled, as if he was in a good mood all of a sudden, and continued, "It's not that we want it to be like this, you know we've been looking for what he's left behind since very early on. ”
"This box is really from that time, and I almost know its origin when I see the talisman drawn on it." The cousin carried the bag and muttered.
"Many years ago, when one of our members told us about this place, we came to explore, and it took a lot of effort to enter this cave at that time, I thought it could be taken away, but I didn't expect that the seal on it had been so long and no one had broken it, so we had to find a way to break the seal on it first, but this thing is not for me to do, you still listen to the person concerned and tell you about the process." As he spoke, the black-robed man turned his head to his right, and on his right, a black-robed man who had been standing there without speaking raised his head.
