I don't know why, but it feels very heavy, and it's because the moisture in the air is too heavy, which brings a sense of oppression. In particular, the locked iron bars give people a sense of rigidity, but Xu Jianglun won't use them to lock up anyone. Even if it's a guanren, why is it empty? An unsolvable mystery.

Xu Jianglun pulled me forward without squinting, and he didn't intend to solve my doubts. I thought that this might not be the "other world" he said, but I was soon struck by the sudden opening up in front of me.

I saw the huge space, I saw the crowds, I saw the ...... A processing plant!

That's right, this is a small but shocking processing plant, just behind the heavy stone door that Xu Jianglun pushed open. A stone door separates two worlds, silent on one side and busy on the other. I only saw busy figures walking around, only heard the sound of ping-pong, and the processed things were like white jade.

If you divide it into regions, it is about three parts. The one on the far left is striking, because the white jade does not seem to exist alone, but is connected to the gray stone, so a relatively large number of people sit there and knock the gray stone off; The middle piece is a little less numerous, about a dozen, responsible for polishing, grinding away the remnants of limestone, and the white jade stone has become a bare stone; The rightmost piece is being processed, and there are only six people, all over forty or fifty years old, and they have carving tools and semi-finished products in their hands, which can vaguely be glimpsed to resemble Bodhisattvas such as Guanyin.

The shock is just the feeling of the first moment of entry, and then I feel confused. To be honest, on the way to be led all the way in by Xu Jianglun, I didn't have all kinds of thoughts in my mind, and I was already mentally prepared to be an arsenal or a drug market, but I never expected it to be a white jade device. Does this type of processing plant need to be so secretive?

Xu Jianglun peeked the idea from my face, and asked lightly with a smile: "Think these stones are worthless?" ”

I shook my head, I couldn't estimate the price of the jade, but, "Do you need to operate in such a covert way?" He laughed, "Where did you come from these stones?" How to operate after processing the finished product? ”

I was stunned, I didn't know what he meant, and I vaguely felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning behind him.

Sure enough, I saw him squint his eyes slightly, and his eyes were shining, "These are hidden mountain stones mined in private, their texture is similar to white jade, but they are as hard as diamonds." Mining is only the first process, and a good stone is nothing more than a stone if it is not polished and manufactured. Nowadays, Buddhism is prevalent, and the white jade Guanyin and the white jade Buddha have become the mainstream of this market. ”

"You make counterfeit cultural relics for sale?"

He waved his finger at me twice: "It's not fake, they can become cultural relics with their superior texture to white jade, it's just time." And time is not the fundamental issue, it is mainly about the channel. ”

In the end, the word "channel", Xu Jianglun deliberately lowered his tone. I realized almost instantly that the so-called channel lies in people. A sudden thought flashed, and he lost his voice in astonishment and asked, "Could it be that Du Xiangyuan and they are the channel you said?" Is there an auction hall under the library of Qinnan Normal University? ”

Xu Jianglun smiled: "Xia Zhu, you really understand a little bit." ”

It's not that I'm thorough at all, but those people have a commonality, businessmen or businessmen, except for J Dao and He Zhou. But I heard Xu Jianglun say: "Don't underestimate the little director and screenwriter of the stage play, their connections are the key." ”

In other words, if there is no financial resources, then manpower. No wonder I searched in Yang Xiaofeng's memory and rushed into the sea of fire to see them appear in an underground space isolated by fire, which should be the entrance to the underground auction hall below the library. At that time, if Yang Xiaofeng didn't rush to save people, even if it could be isolated from fire, it would not be able to be sealed, and the smoke would eventually swallow up all those people.

I pondered and asked, "Since they are all your customers, why did you sacrifice them all two and a half years ago?" Don't use Yang Xiaofeng as an excuse, that must not be the whole reason. Also, why didn't any of them reveal the secrets of the underground after they were born in the fire? ”

Xu Jianglun's face became a little gloomy: "There was a stupid talent in the organization, and he was actually secretly visited by the police and set up an important base for mining rough stones. Normal University is the closest liaison office with it, if I don't immediately transfer and destroy it, will I still wait for the police to find out about me? As for why you asked them why they weren't exposed," he paused, grim on his face, "do you think I'm going to let them through that door without any barriers?" ”

The implication is obvious. Word by word, ask, "What did you do to them?" ”

He said, "Didn't I show you around just now?" Raising such a large group of people, everyone naturally has his value, otherwise, are you doing charity when I do? ”

This time I got it. That chemistry laboratory, in addition to the drugs or chemical reagents needed for his development, also developed a drug that was restrained by people. Those people who want to enter the underground auction house must pass a special "audit", most likely under unknown circumstances. And when it comes to the real occasion, a life and death certificate is waiting for them, who dares not to sign it? Who would dare to say more? I have to swallow this secret in my stomach for the rest of my life.

glanced at Xu Jianglun, and stopped talking. He said: "If you want to ask, you don't have to babble." ”

No matter what reason he wants to be honest, but now that he has entered the secret core and has the opportunity to explore more, he naturally seized this opportunity. So I asked, "Where are you talking about being secretly visited by the police and going deep into the interior to destroy the stronghold where this stone was mined?" ”

Xu Jianglun pierced me: "Do you want to explore the rough stone mining site? There's nothing to hide, it's no secret. Have you ever heard of 'Heizhugou'? ”

I shook my head, not paying much attention to geography, so I didn't know where the "black bamboo ditch" in his mouth was.

"Heizhugou is a boundary in Sichuan Province and is known as the 'Valley of Death' because tourists often go missing in the hinterland. So two and a half years ago, the police conducted an in-depth investigation into the case of the disappearance of tourists, and injected a large number of police forces, although the internal facts were not reported much, but at the time the news was very sensational. Because there was a huge area of depression in the deep ditch planted with flowers, it became a sea of fire before the police arrived, and there was a strange scene, thousands of snakes came out of nowhere, rushed into the fire like moths to a fire, and extinguished with the fire. ”

I heard it a little bit, how could this be? Snakes will also put out fires and commit suicide?

Xu Jianglun smiled and said: "It's no wonder that you haven't heard of it, no one knows who you were and where you were at that time, maybe you were still in the confusion of thinking and memory." ”

Glaring at him! He did it on purpose, and he would stab me wherever I knew it would hurt. I didn't want to be satisfied with him, so I glanced away and looked away, and just now I noticed that in this processing plant, all men are men, and most of them are young. On the periphery, there were several burly men guarding them, with slight bulges around their waists, suspected of hiding guns.

From the top to the bottom, there are clear hierarchies, one level controls the other level. This organization has a strong management philosophy, and it can be heard from Xu Jianglun's voice that this is only one of their strongholds, and he should be the top leader of this stronghold. Heizhugou is another place, although it was lifted by the police, but it did not move to the foundation.

The point is that although it is only a base, it has its own assembly line from production to sales. If you find the source, these rough stones are estimated to be smuggled out of the black bamboo ditch, and the storage amount is not known, if it is enough in three to five years, then the line of the source is equivalent to the cost. In this way, even if this place is ended, I am afraid that I still can't pull the lead of this organization.

Inexplicably shuddering, Xu Jianglun's organization has always only existed in language, and its huge size lies in the fact that you can't see or touch it, you don't know where it is, and you don't even have a concept. So what if you check it up from Xu Jianglun?

Suddenly, why am I thinking about this in this environment and situation? At this time, it is not the most important thing to think about how to get out of the predicament, and ...... Will you save Gao Cheng from that dark prison? No matter what the reason, I still can't control the heart that can't be calm.

Collecting distracting thoughts, he found that Xu Jianglun beside him didn't speak for a long time, and looked sideways to see that he had been staring at his mobile phone with his head down. My heart moved, and I was about to float his mobile phone screen, when I suddenly saw his face change, put away my mobile phone and put it in my pocket and dragged me to a strong man, he said something I didn't understand, and the other party nodded immediately with a whole look. Then he turned and dragged me out, the heavy stone door closed behind me, and I sank into darkness with him again, but vaguely felt that something had happened.

Xu Jianglun's pace was extremely fast, and I was almost dragged along. He didn't ask, but his eyes swept around to record the traces that protruded along the road, and sketched the route in his mind. No matter how clever the maze is, it must have the right route, and I have to keep all the curves in mind this time. But the memory was interrupted when I suddenly heard Xu Jianglun speak in front of me: "Xie Rui? Hear the reply to me, Xie Rui? "I don't see any communication devices in his hands, so it looks like he has a communicator or something like that.

But it seems that Xie Rui on the other side did not receive the signal. I trotted two steps to catch up with him, and found that his face was ugly and overcast. When he noticed my gaze, he glanced sideways, and he was contemplative. Heard him speak again: "Xiao Zuo, are you still on the cliff?" After a pause, he ordered: "Let the rest of the people continue to guard, and you immediately go down to the central control room to check the monitoring equipment." ”

I smelled something unusual, and from the eagerness he had been staring at his phone to the unconcealed eagerness that he had now, something must have happened. His mobile phone can receive surveillance footage, and his heart fluctuated with apprehension, could it be Gao Cheng?

Affected by this interruption, I didn't have the heart to remember the route anymore, judging from the circle, it should be that he was in a hurry to go back to the control room to investigate. But just around the corner, he jerked to his feet, and I bumped into him because I was unguarded and walked fast. He reached out to support me, and the gaze from behind the night vision goggles was cold and dangerous, and he didn't speak, just stared at me all the time.

The chill of his own tide, coupled with his like this, made me shiver.

The next second, he suddenly hooked his lips: "It's that I underestimated him." Let's play a game of cat and mouse. ”

My heart skipped a beat, and Takashiro once told me that he likes to play cat and mouse because he wants to be a cat. <
