Chapter 37: Secrets
Looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, looking down at the turquoise grass, I found that the surroundings had completely changed.
Fan sat on a large grassy beach, surrounded by a pond and a flock of sheep, and the cows and horses in the distance disappeared from time to time, but there was no shadow of the shepherd. He realized that he had returned to his dreams, and that he hadn't been like this in a long time.
"Long time no see." As he wished, Fredem's voice came from behind him. "How about it, clearer than the clouds you see, bluer than the blue sky you see, this is the Inner Mongolia prairie, the mysterious grassland can always give you a sense of novelty, that is imagination, the prairie is endless, all green, it looks like nothing, but everything exists, as long as you are willing to think, your imagination will be presented in this turquoise canvas, but unfortunately this process is difficult, beauty always naughtily hides behind difficulties, so many, many people miss it."
Vredem said so much in one breath, but Fan Li didn't understand what he meant at all, he was like an old friend who had not been seen for a long time, and he would pour out the sadness in his heart as soon as they met, and he didn't care whether he could listen to it or not. But unlike talking, his body and mind were a little relaxed, and it suddenly occurred to him that Fredem seemed to be right in every word, and today, in the past, he was like a dictionary, as long as there was something wrong in your life, he would have good medicine there.
"The other day, I met a beautiful girl on the plane, and we talked and played like friends. But just yesterday, I found out that there are too many secrets in her, there is a huge conspiracy behind her, and she is not as simple as I once thought, so simple, what should I do? All I felt was that the world ahead was dark, and it was just me scurrying around like a headless fly. ”
"Everyone has secrets, everyone lives in this world, it is a one-way track, criss-crossing between tracks, it is people's freedom, but others have other people's secrets, and it is also their freedom. Isn't it beautiful that this girl is willing to leave the purest side to you? ”
"Indeed, Fredem, do you know Qin Ziyang?"
"The world is big, but I know everything." Confidence crossed Fredem's face, and that disgusting smile returned. "She is an admirable singer who should have a brilliant future, but she has carried so much that once she is crushed, it will have a huge impact on others." Vredham took a deep breath at the sky.
"That'...... What if she was just a singer? How will she end? ”
"The end?" Fredem turned his head to look at Fan Li, looking very incomprehensible. "Why do you have an ending, she is only in her twenties, and her road is still far, far away, besides, people live in this world, and there will be collisions between responsibilities and dreams, dreams and reality, reality and moral bottom line, because this is life, this is human life, they are like a sieve, sieving out all kinds of people in this world. The Qin Ziyang I know is not just a rock fighter as most people say, but a real fighter, for a certain truth, ignoring the powerful forces she faces, fighting against any darkness, she is not a hero, but a guide of the people, but unfortunately, she has carried too much so that her brothers and sisters can't bear it, so that she can't bear it herself. ”
"Is she crushed?" Fan looked at the side of Vredem's face, but he looked at the eagle in the sky. "If she is crushed, will there be a great reversal, will a samurai who once insisted on justice fall into the boundless darkness in an instant and become a messenger of darkness?"
"She's not so easily crushed, she's just tired and resting, is she the girl you say?"
"Of course not, the girl I'm talking about admires Qin Ziyang very much, and will even sacrifice herself for her, I just want to know if this sacrifice is worth it."
"I used to be Qin Ziyang's follower, Fan Li, if you want to follow someone thoroughly, you have to study this person thoroughly."
Lost in the city to Zhengzhou, about two hours of flight time, he was woken up by Jialan, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to Fredem. After getting off the plane, Boss Jin's people had been waiting for a long time, he and Jialan got into the Mercedes-Benz car, and the driver in front kept asking for warmth, which should have been specially instructed by Boss Jin.
After an afternoon of travel, in the evening, they arrived at their destination, it was a small village, surrounded by red bricks, it turned out that Boss Jin was also born in poverty, but also a successful entrepreneur.
The driver led them to a luxurious villa and ran to the side to make a phone call. There are stone lions on both sides of the villa, and a large plaque with dragon pattern is hung on the top, and the word "Jinfu" is written on the plaque, which is a bit of the feeling of everyone in ancient times.
"This guy really stinks." Jialan muttered in Fan Li's ear.
"Isn't it, if the money is spent on this, it should be splendid."
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Boss Jin trotted all the way in a suit, with four men in sunglasses behind him. He ran to Fan Li's side and grabbed Fan Li's hand, as if it was the feeling of a fellow villager seeing a fellow countryman.
"You're coming, let's go inside the house and say, let's go inside and say!" He seems to be a little impatient, as for it? Following Boss Jin into the house, Fan Li felt that something was wrong, the Jin family looked like a compound from the outside, and the inside was still the layout of a luxury villa, and there were six bodyguards standing in the huge living room, each with a gun pinned to his waist, as if he was waiting for battle.
"What does Boss Jin mean by this?" Fan Li looked at the bodyguards with guns and asked.
"Alas, isn't this a threat to my life, I'm also afraid, otherwise I wouldn't have hid in my hometown." Boss Jin snapped his fingers, a young girl came over with an iron plate, the iron plate was fanned with a red cloth, she brought it to Fan Li, then bent down to salute, and then bent down to salute Boss Jin, the boss Jin still looked like a womanizer, looking at the woman's chest, until she straightened up and took the red cloth away.
I saw a dagger and a stone slab under the iron plate, isn't this what Fan Li's dream of? He stared at the stone dagger, the same one he had dreamed of in the hidden capital, and the stone slab was also the stone slab in the photo.
"Dare to ask Boss Jin, who sold you these two treasures back then?"
"Alas, I don't know about this, you also know that the secrecy of the place on the 'extinction' island is very good, everyone has to take a special boat to the island, live in a pre-arranged room, and there are no buyers and sellers at the time of the auction, it seems that they are all doing things alone. I love antiques, and I thought these two things were interesting, so I bought them, and this time I will give you these two treasures because you saved my life. ”
"Give it to me?" Fan Li looked back at Jialan on the side, she also felt a little incredible, even if she was his savior, but such a valuable gift, how could she say that she would give it? Let him see that touching is already enough face, and the word "send" pops up, which is a little weird.
"Dare to ask Boss Jin if he has encountered other difficulties, just ask, brother, I will definitely help you with this." Fan Li asked tentatively, and sure enough, Boss Jin nodded with a wry smile.
"My brother is really smart, brother, I've been in big trouble recently, and I can't even save this old life."
"What's the difficulty?"
Boss Jin looked at Jialan on the side, and then at Fan Li.
"Oh, it's okay, this is Jialan, my hair is small, it's my bodyguard, inseparable, there are no outsiders here."
"Alas......" Boss Jin sighed, picked up a cigar and put it in his mouth, took a deep breath, and threw the cigar whole in the ashtray.
"I'll tell you the truth, brother, I know that the people who appeared at the Yiren Club last time were all coming for me. In the past, I thought that I was also a good man on the road, fame and fortune, but one day, a few days after I returned from Extinction Island, some policewomen in blue uniforms suddenly broke into my home, and I was terrified, thinking that it was a killer invited by the enemy, so I offered to buy my life with a lot of money. But they didn't appreciate it, and one of the policewomen who took the lead asked me to immediately find a group of powerful warriors to go to the ancient tomb carved in the stone slab and bring out a ruby pendant. At that time, I found Tian Mang, and Tian Mang introduced you to me, saying that you are a spirit thief and are familiar with the mechanism of the catacombs. Later, my people were killed in the East China Sea, and I learned that this mission had failed, so I hid, and this time I was supposed to meet with an important person at the Yiren Club, who could provide me with protection, but unfortunately I almost lost my life before I saw them. ”
"So, the policewomen asked you to find someone to go to the city, and that's what they targeted...... Ruby pendant? After Fan Li finished speaking, he looked at Jialan, and Jialan also showed a little inconspicuous surprise.
"Indeed, I know that group of policewomen are not good people, I have also been mixed in the road for so many years, and I still understand some truths, these people should not want to let the matter be exposed, so they kill people and kill people, this time I invite you to come, I just want you to help me find a hiding place, both above and below the ground, as long as I avoid this turmoil, I will pay as much as I want."
"There are a lot of hiding places, but it will take some time......"
"As long as you can as soon as possible, I will give you as much money as you want, to ensure that you don't have to worry about earning money in the future, I know that you spirit thieves live frugally and have done a lot of good things, this is even a reward for you."
"Okay, I'll arrange a place for you to live as soon as possible, give me two days, and I'll call you."
"Okay, this dagger and slate will be used as a gift from my brother to you, and when I arrive at the hiding place, I will give you the rest of the reward."
Walking out of the "Golden Mansion", Fan Li took out a stone dagger, which looked no different from an ordinary stone dagger, but the workmanship was a little finer, and what about the stone slab? Unless there is some more important secret in this, it is no different from the usefulness of the photograph.
"Are you really going to find a hiding place for Boss Jin?"
"He doesn't know that it's not the sheriff who wants to kill him, but Brother Jiu, and now that Brother Jiu has been arrested by the sheriff, he shouldn't be a threat, I just need to find him a cave and let him stay for a while."
"You look at his expression just now, he must have seen something more terrible, I'm afraid he has hidden a lot from you."
"In this world, everyone has secrets, and he can tell me that it was the sheriff who asked him to go to the hidden capital, and this is our biggest gain." Fan Li took out his mobile phone with one-line contact with the sheriff and took a deep breath. "If I can meet the sheriff, I'll ask her what the ruby pendant is."
"Don't you think it's strange?" They walked far away from the "Golden Mansion", Jialan said suddenly. "At that time, our target was Youdu, to put it bluntly, it was the secret on the stone dagger and the stone slab, and the ruby pendant was brought out by you unintentionally, so to speak, Brother Jiu didn't know that the target was the ruby pendant, and his goal was the same as ours, so I think this gold boss must be hiding something from you."
"If that's the case, I'm really going to meet with the sheriff alone." Fan Li was about to press the dial button as he spoke, but was pulled by Jialan.
"The sheriff has already helped you once, and neither of you owe anyone anything, do you think she will still want to contact you? Besides, she's such a cruel person, it's not impossible to attack you. Fan Li looked at Jialan with an anxious face and was a little confused, Jialan usually doesn't show such a situation, she always looks like nothing.
"Okay, okay, then let's go back first, I'll study the slate and dagger first."
Seeing Fan Li and Jialan gradually leave, he stepped out of the bunker and walked briskly towards the villa, he was like a black shadow, easily evading the nearby patrols and going deep into his villa.
