Chapter 114: 5-3 The Silver Choice
"So you're telling me that you kidnapped me to take me into an ancient tomb, because only people with a very heavy Yin Qi are allowed to enter this tomb? Like me? Coco lay on the single bed, constantly thinking about the situation he was in, while keeping talking to Li Yiji, which at least distracted the other party and helped to guess the psychology of the kidnapper.
"Xun Keran, you only guessed half right, I did think so, but if it was all about, you wouldn't be my only alternative, two years ago I started looking for someone who could help me enter the tomb, and half a year ago I came back to consider the situation of this tomb and found something else." Li Yiji put the two photos in front of Coco's eyes and asked her to take a closer look.
The background in the photo is very dim, but the image in the center still makes Coco's heart skip a beat. It was a corpse, even if the light was excluded, just looking at the shape of the skull, Coco could tell that this person was no more than 16 years old, with a strange distorted expression on his face, a few strange dark red changes on his neck, and his whole face exuded a strange brilliance.
"This photo was taken half a year ago in the side burial chamber." Li Yiji said, and then quietly waited for Coco's reaction.
Coco pondered for a long time and hesitated, "You don't want to say that you didn't have this corpse when you entered this tomb two years ago, right?" ”
Li Yiji had a hint of appreciation in his expression, "Smart, when I entered the tomb two years ago, this corpse didn't, and moreover, there was more than one." ”
Coco wanted to ask why you didn't call the police as soon as possible, and immediately understood why Li Yiji said that he had to do it, Li Yiji himself was also a crime to enter the ancient tomb, how could he call the police, so he decided that his reason was not only the so-called life, but also his professional identity.
"You may not understand what is going on, let me explain to you, the history of the dynasty I skimmed through and said, there is a very strange way of burial in ancient times, called the lantern boy, according to the method handed down, select a boy under the age of 12, poured anesthetic to make him unable to move, and then dig a hole from the top of the head and feet, pour mercury from top to bottom instead of blood flow to the limbs, and finally all the blood vessels of the whole person can be embalmed, and then sprinkle mercury powder all over the body, wear gorgeous clothes to become a funeral ornament, I have not seen it myself, but in the record, the Ming Dynasty had excavated the real palm lamp boy, and the perfection of embalming shocked the time, but later his whereabouts were unknown in the competition for the collection. ”
Coco felt sick in the bottom of her heart. It's all easy to say, but if the process is real, then the child is always conscious until he dies in this brutal killing.
"That's where you see the bodies in the picture." Li Yiji's voice was a little low.
"Wait...... You say someone is making this kind of ...... Person? Coco felt a throbbing pain in her heart.
"Man martyred. I can't say for sure, but there are two other things I'm sure of, the first is that it didn't exist when I went to the grave two years ago! Li Yiji flicked the photo, "The second is that there has been a bad atmosphere in the cultural relics collection industry in recent years, some people will take some very realistic imitations of the current in order to imitate antiquities, invite people to bring them into the ancient tomb for a period of time, and then take them out of the tomb in a fake way, and even take pictures as evidence, so that there are foolish rich people who spend a lot of money to buy fakes." Li Yiji looked at the photo in his hand and let out a faint sigh.
There was a moment of silence in the room, and the two of them had their own thoughts, but neither of them knew whether to say or not.
After a long time, it was Li Yiji who spoke first to break the deadlock, "Xun Keran, have you decided?" If you insist on going back, just say it, there are many unforeseen circumstances along the way, and I can't have tied you up with anesthetic all the time, but if you have the slightest idea of tracking down the truth......"
"I'll go." Coco said, "Don't talk nonsense, and your account will be settled, if it's true, I'm going to do this kind of thing and eat prison groceries for the rest of my life!" ”
Li Yiji smiled knowingly, "Okay! I was not mistaken! ”
"But I'll say it first," Coco said with a cold glint in his eyes, "if I find out that you're making trouble here......
"Take your life as a payoff, and don't spare it!" Li Yiji's words were loud.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
Several police cars were parked side by side at the door of the Hualong funeral home, the doorman was stunned, and just wanted to ask about the situation when he went out, only to see a team of more than a dozen police officers rushing directly into the funeral home with solemn expressions, and the doorman was so frightened that he directly picked up the phone and dialed the leader's number.
Not far from the small courtyard, Zhou Dazhen used gestures to direct the men and horses to divide into three teams, one team blocked the entrance and exit gate of the funeral home, one team went around to the back of the small courtyard, and the other team stood by, and when everyone was in place, Da Xuan walked in front and kicked open the antique gate with his feet.
"Police!!"
"Police!" For a while, the shouts filled the small house in the front garden and the back house, this is the backyard of the Hualong Funeral Home, Weiwei's small courtyard is set up here, the whole courtyard is characterized by ancient buildings, but at this time it seems empty and weird.
"Report, no one!"
"Report, no one escaped from the backyard!"
"Report, no anomalies!"
Tut! Da Xuan clenched his fists uneasily, and rushed straight to Weiwei's residence, but he obviously pounced.
While everyone was waiting for the next order, a burst of guzheng music suddenly came from the quiet hut.
"Whose phone isn't turned off? Don't you understand the rules of action? Bai Ling obviously spoke out first, and the captain of the province was even worse angry.
"Captain, there's a cell phone ringing on the living room table......"
Everyone was still stunned, Da Xuan had rushed to the mobile phone that was singing, the caller ID did not show his name, Da Xuan directly pressed the speakerphone to answer, but did not speak.
"Captain Zhou~" A soft woman's voice came from the earpiece, "You made such a big move, and the leaders of the funeral home were frightened, thinking that someone was cheating the corpse!" The giggling woman's laughter floated through the air from the microphone, making everyone present a little hairy.
"Yes...... Where is Xun Keran? Da Xuan suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"Talking about three days of contact, you are really anxious~" in a mocking tone.
"There is nothing good to say between us, you kidnap the forensic doctor of the city bureau, and you are still worthy of negotiating terms with me?" Uneasiness is followed by unbearable anger.
"I won't negotiate terms with you, I also made it clear that Xiao Coco is now agreeing to cooperate with our actions for some reason, so I also promise you that we will do our best to ensure her safety, as for where she is, I will give you the address in two days, but I think you probably won't give up the investigation, just please raise your hand, don't embarrass the people around me, I haven't revealed anything to irrelevant people."
Click. The phone was disconnected.
Da Xuan turned his hand and handed the phone to Bai Ling, "Go check." In a word, Bai Ling understood his intentions, although the call time was very short, but he might be able to find out the source of the signal.
With a few simple words, Da Xuan arranged for the rest of the people to investigate the house, while the task force returned the same way, and he stayed in the somewhat desolate courtyard, thinking about the words on the phone just now, and suddenly something flashed through his mind.
"Wait!" Da Xuan opened his mouth to stop everyone's movements, "Which of you has a better memory?" Who can repeat what was said in the hands-free just now? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and two more confident openings began to repeat, "It seems to be 'you making such a big move......"
"In the later paragraph, how did you say that Coco promised to cooperate or something?"
"If I don't negotiate terms with you, I'll make it clear...... Forehead......" Bai Ling thought as she spoke, and another police officer picked up, "Xiao Coco agreed to cooperate with our actions for some reason, so ......"
"We? Are you sure you mean 'cooperate with our actions'? Da Xuan asked, staring at the officer.
"It's us."
"I remember too, I was still thinking about them at that moment!" Several of the next task force brothers also replied.
Da Xuan frowned, "Xue Yang! You take a few people to investigate Wei Wei's call records in the past few days, and ask at the funeral home who has visited her recently! She may be hiding where she goes, but she has to be an accomplice who doesn't have to be so careful, and she has to move quickly! ”
"Yes!" With that, the personnel went their separate ways.
Da Xuan stood in place. Thinking about the three days that Wei Wei mentioned, it was actually two days later, why repeat this time? What will happen in two days?
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"We're going to go out when you're fully recovered, I'll tell you a few things first, please remember clearly, agree?"
Coco looked up at Li Yiji noncommittally.
Li Yiji smiled slightly, "Don't be so hostile, let's go out when we go back, and when someone asks, I'll say that you are my niece Li Keran, remember a few points, first, you can't take off the golden coral bracelet on your left and right wrists." ”
Listening to him, Coco realized that she was wearing a bracelet with gold beads on both wrists.
"This thing is extremely evil, at least in the ancient tomb, don't take it off, don't believe in evil, uncle, I have seen a lot of brave people who don't believe in evil, and in the end they left that gall in the tomb and couldn't get out. The second is that I call you Xiao Coco, and I call you that way for anyone and everything I meet on the road, but once I call you by your real name, run! Jump up and run! Don't care about anything, don't try to save people or resist, run now, leave me alone, and spend all your energy on running until you can't run. ”
Li Yiji's expression was very solemn, but Coco couldn't tell whether he was deliberately showing a sense of mystery or serious.
"I'm not kidding you, promise me!" He said.
Coco hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"This, I will return it to you first, as a sign of sincerity." Li Yiji picked up Coco, who had just regained his strength, and took out a small pistol from his waist, seeing this gun, the picture of himself aiming at Da Zhen flashed in Coco's mind in an instant.
Li Yiji thought that Coco doubted his motives, and explained, "I took it away before you put it in the carved gold coffin, just to prevent the gun from misfiring due to the bumps, rest assured, the magazine is empty." ”
Coco looked at the silver pistol in his hand and froze in a daze.
Li Yiji thought for a while and sat down beside her again, "Xiaoxun, I wasn't in a hurry about this matter originally, I didn't want to abduct you in such an extreme way, I investigated you and secretly ...... Anyway, you're not the most suitable of my candidates, but you're the most peculiar I've ever seen, and I thought I'd be able to wait a little longer until I figured out how to explain this to you, but ...... From the moment you asked me where to buy a gun, I knew I couldn't wait any longer. ”
Coco looked up at Li Yiji with a complicated look.
"I know what you want to do with this gun, it's not to stop you, revenge will make you happy instantly, that's true, but revenge will also make those around you suffer, this is the result. I'm an outsider, and you've heard what I've said, and after the matter of the ancient tomb is completed, it's up to you to decide how to use this gun. Li Yiji said and stood up, "I'll make some preparations, and you can be quiet by yourself." ”
Li Yiji walked up the stairs, leaving Coco in a heavy state of thought in the empty room, looking at the silver pistol in his hand in a daze.
