Chapter 10: Deliverance

I saw a line of text on the screen, "I've been kidnapped, don't reply." Liu Qi. The text message was only a few short words, but it was followed by a GPS location map indicating that the location was somewhere outside the North Third Ring Road of Xi'an.

Could it be that Liu Qi is also involved? Qiu Shan broke out in a cold sweat on his head, hurriedly packed up his things, and hurriedly ran down the mountain. Finally stopped a taxi and drove all the way to Xi'an. After walking for about an hour, I finally arrived near the North Third Ring Road in Xi'an. Qiu Shan opened the positioning map and searched for about ten minutes before the car finally stopped on the side of the road.

It was six o'clock in the evening, and it was getting dark. When I got down from the hill, I saw that the road was very remote, with a few street lamps on and on, and there were only some bungalows on both sides of the road, and between the bungalows was a small forest one after another.

Qiu Shan saw a faint light in a small forest beside him, as if there was a courtyard. So I went into the dark woods, and saw a courtyard house in the distance, and there was a small open space in front of the house, where two off-road vehicles were parked. There are two imitation Tang Palace lamps hanging on the eaves, which are emitting a dim light. The door of the house is closed, and it is surrounded by a high green tile roof.

Qiushan circles around the courtyard, except for the south gate of the house, the other three sides are steep and straight house walls, about eight or nine meters high. He came to the root of the wall on the north side of the courtyard and touched the wall, which was all made of bluestone, and the eaves were faintly visible on the top, and there were beams under the eaves.

At this time, the sound of "fluttering" footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, and Qiu Shan looked back to see three figures turning out of the corner on the right side and rushing straight towards him.

Qiu Shan immediately ran away, and the people behind shouted, "Stop! ”

The hill swooped into the bushes, and the three men were in hot pursuit.

At this time, there was a dull dog barking faintly in front of the courtyard, and Qiu Shan looked back while running, and two people ran towards him with flashlights, followed by two Tibetan mastiffs. The two Tibetan mastiffs quickly overtook the two and rushed towards the hills.

Qiu Shan was so frightened that he ran into the woods while running for his life, he took out a pistol from his pocket and took off the safety bolt. During the run, Qiu Shan glanced back and saw that the two Tibetan mastiffs were tall and powerful, extremely fast, and let out a low roar like rolling thunder from their mouths, which were only five or six meters away from him at this time. Qiu Shan panicked, ran into the woods only two or three meters, tripped something under his feet, fell to the ground, only to hear the roar of the Tibetan mastiff has reached the back of his head, and he rolled sideways in a hurry.

A Tibetan mastiff jumped up from behind, its lion-like head showing its white canine teeth, and pounced on Qiu Shan. As soon as Qiu Shan pointed the muzzle of the gun at it, the majestic body of the dog was already pressed against him, the hairy head covered his face, and the saliva from the dog's mouth was dripping onto his neck.

Qiu Shan's muzzle was against the Tibetan mastiff's chest at this time, he didn't want to pull the trigger, only heard a "poof" sound, like a broken watermelon, the Tibetan mastiff's chest spurted out a puddle of dog blood, and the huge head fell down with a "whimper", hitting Qiu Shan's chin.

Another Tibetan mastiff shook the dog's head and bit Qiu Shan's neck at this time. Qiu Shan pulled out his gun and aimed it at the dog's head and pulled the trigger, and with a "peng" sound, the Tibetan mastiff swayed and rushed forward, and the saliva dog's mouth hit Qiu Shan's cheek.

Qiu Shan was about to get out from under the heavy dog's body when three people had rushed into the woods, and two of them walked towards Qiu Shan, shouting "Don't move". The other person picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to talk, when he suddenly straightened up, stiffened and fell forward, and the sound of "plopping" to the ground startled the two people in front of him. As soon as they turned around, a dark shadow "suddenly" swooped down from the tree, and only two "plop" sounds were heard, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Qiu Shan didn't expect that there were other people in the woods, and he couldn't help but be taken aback. Before they could see the man's face, two more men rushed into the woods, and the shadows quickly flashed behind the bushes. When the two men saw three corpses lying on the ground, they let out two frightened "ahhhhh The shadow leaped out of the bushes and pounced on their backs, and the two of them snorted twice and fell to the ground.

"Follow me." Qiu Shan was in shock, and the black shadow whispered to him.

"Ah Qi?"

"Yes, come with me."

At this time, Qiu Shan had already moved from under the Tibetan mastiff, turned over with a bone, and saw Ah Qi's black tights, which seemed to be prepared.

"I didn't think you're here...... Did you receive a text message from Liu Qi? Qiu Shan picked up a walkie-talkie and asked as he followed Ah Qi deeper into the woods.

"Liu Qi's text message?" Ah Qi looked at Qiu Shan inexplicably.

"He was kidnapped and locked up here."

"Kidnapping?"

"Yes." Qiu Shan saw that Ah Qi didn't know about Liu Qi, so he continued: "He sent a text message to tell me." ”

"Oh." Ah Qi looked in the direction of the courtyard and saw that a large group of people were coming out from the south, estimated to be about a dozen, so he said in a low voice, "Hurry up." So saying, he ran to the south of the woods.

Qiu Shan ran after Ah Qi, holding down the walkie-talkie as he ran, pinching his throat and shouting: "Attention, the other party has weapons and accomplices, and is running into the woods to the north, hurry up!" ”

"Where are you?" A rough voice came from the walkie-talkie, mixed with bursts of "stabbing" signal noise.

"We, ah......" Qiu Shan wailed and threw the walkie-talkie far away.

The gang ran quickly to the north. Ah Qi and Qiu Shan ran to the south woods, facing the gate of the courtyard house.

"Now go in." Ah Qi said and ran towards the door of the house. When he was about to arrive at the door of the house, he suddenly took out two card-like things from his arms and threw them under the eaves.

Qiu Shan took a closer look, and there were two surveillance cameras hanging in the dark hiding place under the eaves, and the card thrown out by Ah Qi was inserted in front of the camera lens.

"You just walked into the camera surveillance range and was discovered by the other party." Ah Qi said in a low voice.

"I didn't get here."

"There are cameras on all four walls."

"Oh." Qiu Shan finally understood why the other party came so quickly.

The door is vermilion, but instead of a wooden door, it is a thick security door with a PIN pad on the side.

"Don't leave fingerprints." Seeing that Qiu Shan was about to touch the combination lock, Ah Qi hurriedly stopped it, took out a film-like finger sleeve from his pocket and put it on, entered a string of numbers on the password keypad, and the security door rang lightly and opened a crack.

Ah Qi motioned for Qiu Shan to go in first, and when he entered the door, he jumped up and took off the two cards, quickly flashed into the door, and closed the door of the house. When the door was a shadow wall, the two turned around the shadow wall to the inner courtyard, and saw that this courtyard was not quite the same as an ordinary courtyard house, and the main house and wing room all had three floors.

"What is this place?"

"Liu Dengji's house."

"Liu Dengji?" Qiu Shan felt that this name was very familiar, and he seemed to have heard it somewhere.

"He's Chinese-Japanese."

"Oh." Qiu Shan suddenly remembered that "National Treasure" had reported on this person some time ago, no wonder the name sounded so familiar, so he asked, "He is an international collector?" ”

"Yes." Ah Qi nodded and said, "He is also the chairman of Qiangshan International Company. ”

"I didn't expect him to have a house in Xi'an." Qiu Shan raised his head and glanced around the courtyard.

"It's one of his strongholds. Eight hundred meters to the west, there is a real estate project called Ah Fang Yuan, behind which is his capital. ”

"Oh." Qiu Shan thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes sparkled, staring at Ah Qi and saying, "Could it be that he killed Li Tailai?" He's looking for me too? ”

Ah Qi looked at Qiu Shan and was about to speak, when he suddenly found something, grabbed him and flashed into the dark.

A figure appeared at the door of a room in the east wing, and walked quickly through the inner courtyard towards the door of the house. Qiu Shan and Ah Qi quietly followed, saw the man open the door of the house, looked up to check the surveillance camera, and looked left and right.

Qiu Shan made a motion to wipe his neck to Ah Qi, and Ah Qi shook his head. The man looked at it for a while, didn't notice anything unusual, and then went back to his room. Qiu Shan and the two touched the window of the room, looked up, and there were more than a dozen display screens on the side wall of the room, and it turned out that this room was a monitoring room.

Qiu Shan glanced at the display screen, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a person curled up in the room on a screen, with a figure quite similar to Liu Qi, but the picture was very dark and he couldn't see it very really.

At this time, there was a stabbing sound from the walkie-talkie on the table in the monitoring room, and then a rough voice said: "Tian Ji, how is the situation in the hospital?" ”

"Everything works." The man nicknamed Tian Ji replied, his eyes constantly roaming over those displays.

Qiu Shan looked at those display screens one by one, and found that there were many surveillance pictures in the courtyard, and there should be a lot of cameras installed everywhere in the courtyard.

At this time, a group of people appeared on the display screen of the monitoring door of the house, carrying several bodies to the door. Qiu Shan and Ah Qi glanced at each other, and retreated into the darkness along the root of the wall.

"Do you want to kill him?" Qiu Shan pointed to the monitoring room.

Ah Qi shook his head and said, "Then they will know that we are in." After thinking for a while, he said, "You just looked at those display screens, did you find Liu Qi?" ”

"The third display in the upper left corner, it looks like him."

"Well, maybe on the third floor on the west side. Let's go up and have a look. ”

The two immediately went around to the west along the corridor in the dark, and saw that there was a staircase leading to the second floor, Qiu Shan looked up, and saw that there was a camera installed on the second floor facing the staircase, so he motioned Ah Qi to pay attention. Ah Qi had already noticed the camera, nodded to Qiu Shan and said, "You can't take the stairs." As he spoke, he took out a thin rope from a pocket around his waist and threw it up vigorously, and the thin rope hooked the railing on the third floor. Ah Qi pulled the rope, and then quickly climbed up along the pillar.

Qiu Shan saw that Ah Qi had already gone up to the third floor, so he grabbed the rope and climbed up. At this moment, there was a voice from the other side of the shadow wall, and the group of people had already entered the door of the house. Qiu Shan felt a strong force coming from the rope, and when he looked up and saw Ah Qi pulling the rope up, he also tried his best to climb up, and when he just climbed over the railing on the third floor, the group of people had already entered the inner courtyard.

There are three rooms on this floor, each with a small window and a door. The two of them looked through the window one by one along the corridor, and in the northernmost room, they saw a dark figure curled up on the bed in the corner, lying on its head on its side, which was exactly what they had seen on the surveillance screen. Qiu Shan made an OK gesture to Ah Qi, Ah Qi walked to the door gently, with an extra wire-like gadget in his hand, gently poked into the keyhole, and the door opened quietly.

Ah Qi squatted down, put his head into the crack in the door and glanced up, saw that the camera was in the corner near the ceiling, turned around and gestured to Qiu Shan, signaling him to stay at the door, and then tiptoed into the crack in the door.

When he entered the door, Ah Qi bowed over and flipped over to the corner of the door, which was a blind spot that the camera couldn't capture. Ah Qi took out a camera from his bag, raised it close to the underside of the camera with his hand, pressed the shutter, and quickly withdrew it. With a "zizi" sound, a photo spit out from the bottom of the camera, and Ah Qi quickly stuck the photo in front of the camera.

The dark shadow seemed to be awakened by the sound of a printed photograph, and turned its head to look at the door. Ah Qi whispered outside the door, "It's okay, come in." ”

Qiu Shan pushed open the door and whispered to the black shadow, "Liu Qi? ”

The dark shadow nodded desperately in his mouth, and struggled to move his ass.

Qiu Shan rushed forward and saw that Liu Qi's mouth had been sealed with duct tape, his hands were tied behind his back, the rope was tied to the head of the bed, and his feet were tied to the foot of the bed. Qiu Shan tore the tape off Liu Qi's mouth, only to hear Liu Qi cry out in pain, and hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Speak lightly." ”

"It hurts." Liu Qi pursed his mouth and gritted his teeth.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Qiu Shan smiled embarrassedly and hurriedly untied the rope tied to Liu Qi's body. Liu Qi jumped off the bed and rushed to the corner.

"What for?"

"Pee, it's been a day."

Qiu Shan looked around, and there was nothing in the whole room except the bed. After Liu Qi finished his explanation, Ah Qi looked out of the door and said, "Hurry up." ”

The three of them walked out the door, and suddenly heard footsteps in the hallway, and it seemed that two of them were talking in a low voice as they walked upstairs.
