Chapter VIII. stratagem

Gremlin? I was stunned. Hu Zongren said with a smile, I told you a long time ago that when I was doing evening classes every night, I had a way to get some information from this little ghost. I don't know what those people have been doing these days, but where they are staying, this little ghost can tell me clearly. I've lived in that place for so many days in a row, and I guess I won't change places for a short time, so it's the right time to go now. And they haven't left for so many days, which means that they are still waiting, waiting for a chance to find what they want, which is the copper bone flower.

Only then did I understand that when I was fighting that fight, Hu Zongren had already anticipated all this in advance.

The next day, it was a sunny day. In the cold winter of Chongqing, it is difficult to encounter such beautiful weather. Maybe it's not long after the New Year, and it won't be long before the Spring Festival of the lunar calendar is coming. So in the streets and alleys, there began to be a lot of festive atmosphere. I made an appointment with Hu Zongren, first let Hu Zongren go to Situ's house, and brought out the copper bone duo that was placed there with him, and then the two of us met and went to the river together, twisting the bone in our hands, and the background was the surging river, looking like we were going to throw the bone into the river. Then we drove to Daping, and when we passed through Fotu Pass, we also went up to the observation deck to have a look. We found that the pit we dug earlier was still there, and although we don't know how those guys escaped and got out of the police station that night, since the pit is still there and has not been backfilled, it means that this matter has not been discovered by anyone other than us. This greatly increased the possibility that the people of the White Lotus Sect would continue to search for the Bronze Bone Duo.

From Fotuguan to Daping, the distance is very close, and it is only two or three bus stops away. Daping is a relatively mature area in Chongqing, so there are many old houses nearby. Daping, Fotuguan and Hutou Rock are exactly a triangular arrangement. There is a medical school here, and there is a statue of Chairman Mao with his hand stretched out in the medical school, his hand stretched out, his eyes staring into the distance, a feeling that the flowers of the motherland create the future. But I heard that the statue shook violently during the 2008 earthquake, which frightened many students who passed by, thinking that Chairman Mao was alive and waving at them.

And the hotel where these people from the White Lotus Sect live happens to be near this medical school. The medical school is one of the best medical universities in Chongqing, and I heard that there are many exchange students from India and Nepal, and the delicious large plate of chicken they ate earlier is also nearby. Several of the school's gates are located on the side of a small road, and in addition to stationery stores, supermarkets, and various restaurants, there are also many car repairs, car parts and other fronts. Hu Zongren Hall said that the four people lived in a small family-style hotel located in a commercial building, and it was the one near the road. So when we got there, we pretended to be a customer who was going to fix the car and parked it at the only elevator entrance in the building. In other words, as long as the time is right, everyone who comes down from this building, we can see it in the car.

So all that's left is to think about luring these people out. I proposed to ask the police officer Lao Feng to help, because even such a small hotel needs to be registered with the police station, because the police station needs to grasp all the movements of the people, including the opening records. So I quickly got the tenant information of this hotel from Lao Feng, and even the phone number. This makes everything much easier. Hu Zongren's phone number may have been possessed by the other party, so Hu Zongren divided the photo we took by the river into two MMS messages and sent them to the contact person of the Xuanyuan Society and the resident of the White Lotus Sect. After a cigarette, Hu Zongren began to be convinced that this message had been seen by these two people separately, so he first called the person from the White Lotus Sect, pressed the speakerphone, closed the window, and we staged a good show in the car.

Hu Zongren said to the person on the other end of the phone in a very smug tone, have you seen the photo? We're on the river now, if you don't do what I ask, I'll throw this thing into the river immediately, and if you're in a good mood, take it slowly, but I'll tell you, the river in Chongqing is deep, and I'm quite strong, I'm sorry to cause you trouble.

I couldn't help but laugh on the side, because although Hu Zongren often did similar things, he had never made me feel so refreshed once. The other party's tone was obviously anxious, and judging from the accent, the person who answered the phone should be the person with a foreign accent, maybe the person who likes to smoke Hunan cigarettes. He said in a panic, don't throw it away, if you have something to say, you can say it if you want us to do it, don't lose this thing, this thing is precious to us! Hu Zongren sneered and said, if you want me not to lose it, you can go to the person above you to talk to me and use your phone to call me! Hu Zongren squeezed his eyebrows at me, looking perverted. I know that in the previous late-night contact, we have noticed that these four people are all running errands, although they may be of high or low rank, but they are by no means the ones who give orders. It is very likely that the person who gave the order to them was their uncle or uncle. Only by finding this guy can we get closer to the result we want. The man hurriedly agreed, saying that you give me a little time, and I will do it! In this way, we can also know that the person who gave the order did not live with them, and if we wanted to find him, we had to give him a little time. Hu Zongren said to that person, okay, I'll give you a little time, don't rub in, move quickly!

After hanging up the phone, Hu Zongren called the number of the Xuanyuan Club again, but the other party has been in a busy state, so if we are not mistaken, it should be that after receiving Hu Zongren's MMS, this person did not come directly to Hu Zongren to negotiate, but immediately told another person about it, and this person is very likely to be the Ma Dao person of the Xuanyuan Society.

Hu Zongren put down the phone with a smile and said to me, you see this trick is good, just a fake photo can make two groups of people dizzy, I think I'm still quite smart. I snorted and asked him, how long have you been thinking about this? He replied without hesitation, I had been thinking about it since the day I woke up. I said to him speechlessly, it's been ten days, and that's all you have in your head. But it's a good idea. Although he was beaten up, he still praised him a little later, so Hu Zongren didn't care about my damage to him at all.

Soon, four people came down from the elevator of that building in a panic, three of whom did not know, but the other was the thin man who was violently beaten, so to speak, these four people acted together. And we didn't know those three people just because it was completely dark that day. The four men ran to the side of the road, and I deliberately buried my head as I passed my car. When they walked to the side of the road behind our car, Hu Zongren told me, "Let's drive, drive slower."

So I started the car, took a slow circle, and then walked around to the side of the road. The four men in front of them hailed a taxi, rushed in, and then the taxi started moving. Hu Zongren said let's just follow this car, these idiots will obediently take us to their superiors. It turned out that this was Hu Zongren's plan, and I really underestimated this guy a little.

Chongqing as a mountain city, there are many forks, and twists and turns, uphill and downhill, drivers from other places often turn dizzy when they arrive in Chongqing, because the roads in Chongqing are not like Chengdu or Beijing, a straight road, in Chongqing without warning there is a ten-consecutive hairpin bend is a very common thing, and the slope of about 30 degrees is also commonplace. Therefore, the drivers in Chongqing are mighty and majestic, and the brothers and sisters in Chongqing are even more crazy. Therefore, it is very difficult to follow taxis on the roads in Chongqing, which are originally congested with traffic jams and complicated road conditions. Fortunately, I am also a good driver, and I am very good at driving the 2010 car, although it is difficult to keep up, but I can keep up. The taxi driver pulled the four men to a place called Zaozi Lanya, near Shangqing Temple in Yuzhong District, where they got out of the car and got into a small alley.

Since I was driving, I asked Hu Zongren to follow slowly, and I parked the car and came over. Hu Zongren rushed out of the car like a chicken, and then began to follow the four people. I quickly set sights on a parking space, didn't care about parking irregularly, locked the car door and followed Hu Zongren. The four of them entered another unit at the end of the alley, and they didn't look back at them at all, maybe they were really panicked, which is why they were so careless. So Hu Zongren and I calculated the distance between us and these four people about one and a half floors, and followed up to the unit building.

It's an old unit building, probably from the early 90s of the last century. The hallway was filled with the smell of garbage and urine, and there were a dozen or so stairs on the first floor, and every two of these stairs could go up to the top floor. Judging by the footsteps, the four stopped when they were on the fifth floor, because we happened to be on the fourth floor at that time. Then there was a knock on the door, so Hu Zongren and I quickened up and followed, peeking through the gap in the stairwell, and found that the door of 5-3 was open.

A lean old man walked out, scolded when he opened the door, and panicked! If you can't hold your breath so much, how can you do big things!
