CHAPTER XXXVIII

Kidnapping conspiracy

'Did you hear that?' Fang Xin raised his head and asked Du Zijuan with a complicated expression, "I seem to have heard Xiaoxue's cry for help."

'What?' Du Zijuan also looked surprised, "You mean Xiaoxue is in this building?" So close to us? But...... But I didn't hear anything.'

'There can be no mistake.' Fang Xin said with great certainty. For Xiaoxue, she is too familiar. Although the cry for help just now was very small, Fang Xin could be sure that it was Xiaoxue. He firmly repeated again: 'There will be no mistakes, there will be no mistakes.'

Du Zijuan didn't speak again, she believed Fang Xin. Although she really didn't notice it just now, judging from Fang Xin's nervous expression, she also believed that Xiao Xue was on this floor, very close to them.

Fang Xin concentrated and pricked up his ears. He hoped to hear Xiaoxue's cries for help again, but he was disappointed. Xiaoxue didn't make any more sounds, which couldn't help but make Fang Xin wonder if it was an auditory hallucination just now.

Each floor of Taihu Bay Hotel has dozens of rooms. Moreover, it is also divided into three rows: front, middle and back. It is basically impossible to find Xiaoxue in so many rooms at once.

What Fang Xin was worried about was that if he opened a certain room rashly, would there still be those hateful skeleton soldiers hidden inside. They left a deep imprint in Fang Xin's heart, as if they were everywhere and omnipotent.

Seeing that Fang Xin was stunned, Du Zijuan nudged and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Since Xiaoxue is here, let's go find it!"

Fang Xin waved his hand and raised his concerns. He said, 'You've seen what happened to us, and I'm really worried that the skeletons have taken over the whole hotel. If we look for them so rashly, will we fall into their traps or traps? There's another thing I heard, and you didn't. I'm wondering if it's something wrong with my ears. Everything is fake, it's all non-existent?'

Du Zijuan didn't think about these questions, so she asked: 'Then what are you going to do?' Do you leave, or do you keep looking? I listen to you. If you want to die, you will die together!'

'Don't say these unlucky things.' Fang Xin interrupted her very unhappily. After thinking about it, Fang Xin continued: "Xiaoxue once said on the phone that the place where she is a wooden structure. Could we have been looking in the wrong direction before? You should know that every room in the hotel is full of high-quality parquet flooring. Besides, Xiaoxue said that it was very dark in the house. Since it's dark, she can't necessarily see which style of décor is inside.'

'I see.' Du Zijuan continued, 'You mean, Xiaoxue is also possible to be here?'

'The key is how we find it, and how we find it.' Fang Xin said calmly.

'You must have your own idea.'

Fang Xin smiled slightly, and he said, "The guest rooms here are almost identical. The only difference is the windows in the rooms. Based on the analysis of the corridor we are in now, the windows of the guest rooms on the north side are open on the north side. The rooms are on the south side with windows open on the south side. And the middle room is windowless.'

Du Zijuan nodded frequently, but she didn't know what Fang Xin wanted to express, she could only listen quietly and listen to what Fang Xin could say next.

'The south side of the room is Taihu Lake, and the north side is close to Xiaomao Mountain.' Fang Xin continued, 'Xiaoxue once said that she could feel the wind blowing in. But we didn't notice the wind before we entered the hotel. So I thought ......'

Du Zijuan's eyes widened, waiting for Fang Xin's final answer.

At night, because it is summer, because the specific heat capacity of the water is higher than that of the soil, and the lake cools more slowly than the land, the temperature on the lake is higher than that inland, and the air on the lake rises. The air blows from the land to the lake to form the wind, so the wind blows into the hut through the small window on the north side, so the guest room on the north side is the one where Xiaoxue is locked up.' Fang Xin said what he thought.

When Du Zijuan heard this, she immediately came to her senses: 'Then what are you waiting for, let's go find it now.'

'You wait.' Fang Xin stopped her and said, "There are dozens of rooms on each floor, and there are about a dozen rooms on the north. Is there any way we can lock on to our target at once?'

"What else can you do, just go around to the north, don't you?" Du Zijuan said nonchalantly, "Just shout Xiaoxue's name loudly."

However, Fang Xin said, "We can't do this, I'm afraid that this will attract those skeleton soldiers."

You're right, but we can't just wait. I see, let's go around to the north and feel the situation. Maybe we'll hear Xiaoxue's cries for help again!'

This time, Fang Xin agreed with Du Zijuan's idea. Two people tiptoed around the aisle, around another elevator, to the north aisle.

The entire north walkway is very dark, there are no lights, and it is difficult for light to get in. If it weren't for daytime, I'm afraid the place would be as black as char and nothing could be seen.

All rooms on the north side have all the doors locked. This caused Fang Xin and Du Zijuan a lot of trouble. If at this time, some rooms are open. Well, at least some can be ruled out.

What disappointed Fang Xin the most was that Xiaoxue never made a sound from beginning to end. It was as if Fang Xin had indeed misheard, Xiao Xue was really not here.

And Fang Xin is very confident in himself. He believes in himself and he believes in his ears. He firmly believes that Xiaoxue must be here, in a guest room.

The first thing Fang Xin did was to listen to each door with his ears close to him for a while. Then, I tapped on the door twice. If Xiaoxue was in one of them, she would definitely hear it.

However, what disappointed Fang Xin was. He knocked seven or eight times, but there was no sound.

Just as he was leaning against the door of the ninth room, listening to the movement inside. Behind him, a thick, man's voice suddenly sounded: 'You don't have to listen, your little snow is inside.'

Fang Xin and Du Zijuan were both startled, neither of them would have thought that behind them, there were still people. When did it appear, and why didn't you hear any sound at all?

The two men turned back almost at the same time, however, they saw not one person, but four people, four sturdy young men.

What's even more surprising is that one of Fang Xin has also seen. It was Zheng Chuchen who locked him and Xiaoxue in the dungeon, and his brain was not very normal.

This is nothing, behind Zheng Chuchen, there are two huge big men. They still have guns in their hands. Not a pistol, but a submachine gun .

Even if Fang Xin didn't know much about guns, he recognized these two submachine guns. It was a 6.5mm caliber and domestically produced 100 submachine gun that was equipped with a small number of Japanese troops that invaded China. What surprised Fang Xin even more was that these two submachine guns, judging from their appearance, were actually brand new, as if they had never been used.

Just when Fang Xin was stunned, the one in the lead finally spoke again: "I finally brought you together, you should thank me. Fang Xin, what are you still doing stupidly. Haven't you been looking for your little snow, she's in the room. Hahaha...... 'The man spoke in a very arrogant tone, which made people uncomfortable to hear.

The man looked to be about thirty years old, one meter seventy-five, half a head taller than Fang Xin. And Fang Xin racked his brains, and couldn't think of where he had seen it. Why did he know his name?

'Don't think about it, it's the first time I've met you today. I know you exist, but you probably haven't even heard of me. My name is Guo Xudong, and it's a pleasure to meet you.' As he spoke, the man who called himself Guo Xudong stretched out his hand very politely.

Fang Xin didn't stretch out his hand, he really didn't know this person named Guo Xudong. But with Zheng Chuchen, who has an abnormal brain, he is definitely not a good person. Besides, they actually had guns, which made Fang Xin even more suspicious.

Guo Xudong didn't wait for Fang Xin's reply, and raised his head backwards. As if he had received an instruction, Zheng Chuchen took out the key from his pocket and opened the door of the guest room.

Zheng Chuchen was still the same as Fang Xin knew him before, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and a smile on his face forever. It's not the kind of smile that makes people happy to the eye when they see it, a comfortable smile. There was something sinister in his smile, a sinister one in it.

The moment the door opened, the lights in the room were all turned on. Fang Xin saw Xiaoxue lying on the bed in a large shape at a glance, looking as if nothing had happened.

'Little snow!'

When Fang Xin exclaimed, Xiao Xue bounced up from the bed like a spring. As soon as she saw that it was Fang Xin, she immediately ran over happily.

However, before she could take two steps, she saw a pistol with a black hole in the hole, pressed against Xiaoxue's forehead. The person holding the gun was none other than Guo Xudong.

'What do you want to do, you're crazy.' Fang Xin's first reaction was to snatch the gun from Guo Xudong's hand. Before he could move, Zheng Chuchen's hand was on his shoulder. Zheng Chuchen whispered coldly in Fang Xin's ear, "If I were you, I wouldn't move anything. You look at the back.'

With Zheng Chuchen's voice, Fang Xin turned his head. He saw that the two guys with 100 submachine guns were facing him and Du Zijuan. That is to say, as long as they dare to move, their heads may blossom and they may die.

'You ...... Who the hell are you?' Xiao Xue exclaimed in surprise, facing the muzzle of the black hole, Xiao Xue was not only surprised, but also frightened.

Fang Xin also recognized this pistol, which also belonged to one of the basic guns of the Japanese during World War II. The Southern Fourteen, also known as the King Eight Box.

Fang Xin is a hundred people who don't believe it, how can there still be guns during World War II? And it doesn't look like they've been used before. It's as if it had just been produced out of an arsenal.

Guo Xudong said coldly: 'If you want to live, sit down for me obediently.' As he spoke, he put away his gun without hesitation, and said, 'I will not speak first, and I do not want your life, nor is it rare. But if you want to use your brains, I'll be happy to give you a ride.'

He walked up to Xiaoxue and his eyes were pressed towards Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue sat on the bed with his ass under his intimidation. But Xiaoxue said in a firm tone: "I believe what you said and what you did. You killed all the people on the bus, right?'

Guo Xudong didn't answer, but laughed. His laughter undoubtedly gave Xiaoxue a positive answer.

'So, what about Ruan Xiaotian? What did you do to him?'

Fang Xin was taken aback when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked Xiaoxue, "What did you say?" Could it be that Ruan Xiaotian was also locked up? Didn't he go home, why did he run back again?'

'It's a long story.' Xiaoxue looked very melancholy and said, 'I am with Ruan Xiaotian, on his minibus.' Xiaoxue pointed at Guo Xudong and said, "As a result, we fell unconscious inexplicably. I'm locked up here, and Ruan Xiaotian must have been locked up by him as well.'

Next, Fang Xin, Xiaoxue and Du Zijuan all moved their eyes to Guo Xudong's body. As for Guo Xudong, he is neither humble nor arrogant, standing proudly. He wants to tell everyone: I did it, what can you do with me!

Zheng Chuchen didn't know which nerve was wrong, he actually patted Fang Xin's shoulder in a friendly way, and said with a hippie smile: "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, relax. It's not fun to kill people at all, I'm telling the truth.' Immediately, he leaned in front of Fang Xin's ear, whispered, and said insidiously: "I like to eat people, that taste is so delicious. Do you remember the last time I gave you both a drink? That's not cat or dog meat, it's authentic human meat. ......Haha

After finishing speaking, Zheng Chuchen stepped past Fang Xin like a triumphant warrior and walked into the guest room.

As soon as these words came out, Fang Xin was fine, but Xiaoxue couldn't bear it, squatting on the ground and vomiting. It's a pity that her stomach is already empty, and there is nothing to vomit.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Chuchen smiled more heartily and more presumptuously. A person with a twisted mind will naturally act distorted.

After Fang Xin saw this, he wanted to rush forward. But helplessly, there was a gun behind him, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He had to say anxiously: 'Xiaoxue, don't listen to him, he's lying to you, it's not like that at all.'

'I know the way, I know the way.' Xiaoxue was newly said by the other party, but her eyes kept staring at Guo Xudong, who was closest to her. Without fear, she continued to ask, 'Tell me, what happened to Ruan Xiaotian?'

Guo Xudong didn't seem to understand Xiaoxue's question, and deliberately said puzzled: "Who are you talking about?" Oh! You're talking about that little boy who was quiet for nothing. I didn't do anything to him, what could I do with him!'

As he spoke, Guo Xudong waved his hand, snapped his fingers in mid-air and said, "Huzi, go see if that little white face is awake, and bring him over."

'Yes!'

The poor guy with a beard on his face and little hair. After answering the call, he walked away with his gun. Behind Fang Xin, there was only one gunman left.

'Come, come, come.' Guo Xudong put on a very friendly look. He put away his gun, beckoned to Fang Xin, and said, 'Come in and sit, come in and sit.'

Fang Xin didn't move, he stared at Guo Xudong viciously. If Guo Xudong hadn't had a gun in his hand, he would have pounced on it and fought desperately.

However, Fang Xin still came in reluctantly. Another gunman behind him pushed Fang Xin hard with the butt of his gun. made Fang Xin not stand firm and fell in. Fortunately, Xiaoxue held on in time and didn't fall to the ground.

Guo Xudong shook his head and said to the gunman behind him: "Little leopard, don't be so rude to our guests!" I said it, I don't want their lives, their lives are useless to me. Unless, of course, they don't listen, then I can't help it.'

Seeing this scene, Du Zijuan was already frightened. She didn't say a word, obediently walked into the guest room and stood beside Fang Xin.

was in the hands of Guo Xudong, Fang Xin knew that it was unlikely that he wanted to escape, because they had a gun in their hands. But he still asked, 'What are you holding us for?'

'No hurry, no hurry.' Guo Xudong still said slowly, "When your friends come, I will naturally say it, it's not time yet. As long as you are obedient, I promise that I will not hurt you.'

It didn't take long, maybe less than five minutes. The big man named Huzi, escorting Ruan Xiaotian, as well as Shen Kuo and Liu Ting, came to the door of the guest room.

When Fang Xin and the three of them saw it, they were all stunned. They never imagined that Shen Kuo and Liu Ting were also arrested by Guo Xudong.

Xiaoxue just wanted to take a step forward and wanted to greet Ruan Xiaotian, but was stopped by Guo Xudong. He still said like a smiling tiger: 'Don't get excited, I'll give you a chance to be together, but not now.'

Ruan Xiaotian burst out with a classic line: 'Damn, it turned out to be you, what the fuck do you want to do?'

It seems that Ruan Xiaotian still doesn't know what happened to Lu Dao, why will Lu be arrested? As well as the purpose of Guo Xudong to arrest them.

Until now, the tiny room was packed with nine people. Although there are only four on Guo Xudong's side, there are five on Fang Xin's side. But no way, they have guns . Instead, there are two girls on Fang Xin's side. The other party is new, absolutely outnumbered. Fearless resistance will not work at all.

At this time, in the guest room, Fang Xin and the other five people were surrounded in the middle. On the left and right sides stood the tiger and the little leopard, and the muzzle of the black hole was always aimed at Fang Xin. It's as if they don't hesitate to shoot at the slightest movement.

Guo Xudong and Zheng Chuchen stood in front of the five of them, facing each other. Guo Xudong's face was expressionless, and Zheng Chuchen's face still maintained his usual smile, a sinister smile, which made people laugh extremely uncomfortable.

With a crisp sound, Guo Xudong clapped his hands and finally said, "Okay, it's almost all here. So, let's get down to business!'

'Serious?' And what can you do?' Shen Kuo interjected unconvinced.

Immediately after, Ruan Xiaotian also said with bad intentions: "Damn, talk about business, is there anyone who talks about business with a gun?" Don't look at Ruan Xiaotian's usual bad behavior, this sentence is righteous and awe-inspiring.

But seeing that Guo Xudong was still very leisurely, he took out his mobile phone again without being angry at all. But this time, the muzzle was not pointed at anyone. He just stared at the pistol and said, 'I don't like it when someone interrupts me. Ladies and gentlemen, I have managed to bring you all here. No, if you don't say anything, just kill someone! I said I didn't want to kill, that's not my intention.'

'You don't want to kill?' Liu Ting, who was standing at the back of the least, suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Guo Xudong and scolded, "Who are you fooling. You killed Duffy, you ruthlessly cut off her head. And you said you didn't want to kill!'

For Du Fei, Fang Xin and Xiaoxue didn't have any impression because they didn't know each other.

Shen Kuo on the side just wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Xiaoxue seemed to think of something, and she said: "You arranged the minibus on purpose, right?" You picked up Ruan Xiaotian, and then led me and Du Zijuan to take the bait. And you didn't let Du Zijuan get in the car, the purpose was to let her inform Fang Xin. But I don't understand why you're going to kill the whole car.'

Guo Xudong's face was slightly startled, and he looked at Xiaoxue curiously. When he was done, he said, 'I didn't expect you to be a smart little girl. It's a bit late to be smart, though. There are many things that you don't need to know. All I can say is the people in the car, they all deserve to die.'

Xiaoxue was not afraid, and then said, 'You locked me up here, but you didn't tie me up, and you left me your phone. Your purpose is to let me inform Fang Xin of my location. Let Fang Xin step by step into your well-designed trap and catch them all.'

'Yes, you're not wrong at all. That's what I think, and that's what I do.'

"But I still don't understand, you have a gun in your hand, why do you need to do more?" Xiaoxue then asked.

Guo Xudong didn't think about it, as if he had already prepared the answer. He said, 'Some people can die, some people can't. You people belong to the latter group. So, I'm going to have to trick you all together.'

His words are both plain and seemingly profound. So much so that all the people did not understand what he was trying to say.

At this time, Shen Kuo seemed to have suddenly figured out something. He said eagerly: 'I see, that minibus was also deliberately parked in Gangzi Village. Duffy, too, you deliberately let us see, you designed a lot of games so that we could get into it all.'

'If that's the case.' Fang Xin suddenly said, 'You really racked your brains in order to lure us into the bait. You have made a few preparations, whether I follow Shen Kuo or not to catch up, the final outcome is that you win. Because if I catch up, if I don't, you're sure Xiaoxue will call me for help. As a result, you did. We, one by one, have fallen into your trap.'

Bang Bang Bang ......

Guo Xudong applauded and said, 'I'm not mistaken, you are all a group of smart people. So, I had to use this method to get you guys here. I've been preparing for this day for a long time.'

'But you.' Shen Kuo was a little angry, he couldn't wait to rush up and strangle Guo Xudong to death. He held back his anger and asked, 'But why did you kill Duffy, she is innocent.'

As soon as he heard Du Fei, Guo Xudong seemed to be quite excited, and the hand holding the gun kept trembling. He stared at Shen Kuo murderously and said, "She betrayed me, she must die. She is my person and she has worked for me all these years. But when you appeared, her heart was shaken, and she began to disobey me. One day, she told me explicitly that she was in love with you. This is something I absolutely do not allow. Therefore, since she does not belong to me, she can only die.'

I don't know what you're talking about. If you choose death, why don't you kill me, but leave her.' Shen Kuo was unusually excited.

However, Guo Xudong said coldly: 'I have already said that anyone can die, but you can't. At least, you can't die until you get what I want.'

'Something? What do you want?' Xiaoxue asked puzzled.

Fang Xin immediately said, "It's the bronze seal, he wants the bronze seal on our body!"

Guo Xudong suddenly laughed: "Not bad, yes, so I said, you can't die. You're dead, where am I going to get the bronze seal.'

'Before we give it to you, can you tell us what the bronze seal is for. Why do so many people want to get them?' Fang Xin asked.

Guo Xudong smiled and said, "Look, you don't even know what the bronze seal is for, what's the use of staying by your side. Leave it to me, and I'll keep it for you.'

'Damn, why should I leave it to you?'

Xiaoxue said, 'If my guess is correct, it has something to do with that treasure.'

'You know one and not the other.'

Everyone was silent, waiting for Guo Xudong to continue. However, Guo Xudong didn't say anything. This made everyone present very annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.

Xiaoxue asked rhetorically, 'What do you mean?'

Guo Xudong swept everyone present one by one, and finally stopped at Xiaoxue's body. He said, 'You guessed it right, the Bronze Seal does have something to do with the treasure. It's not that I don't want to say, if you still want to go back alive, not knowing anything is the best choice. If I were you, I wouldn't have inquired about all the secrets of the Bronze Seal.'

Fang Xin frowned and said, "You are doing this for only one purpose, you want to swallow that treasure alone. Can I think that whether we hand over the Bronze Seal or not, we will end up dead. It doesn't matter how much or how little we know.'

When Ruan Xiaotian heard this, he was very angry. He bared his teeth and claws, and almost rushed up to fight it. He said angrily, 'Damn, we have to hand over what we are doing?' Since we can't get it, don't think about it.'

Speaking of this, Guo Xudong suddenly laughed. He smiled and said, 'You are too worried, I said I would not hurt you. As long as you can obediently hand over the bronze seal, your life can be guaranteed. My patience is limited, and you'd better hurry up and make a decision. Alas! Time is running out, time is really running out.'

This last sentence is something that no one can understand.

And everyone knows very well in their hearts that if they don't hand over the bronze seal, they will definitely die. And once the bronze seal is handed over, no one can imagine the consequences.

None of them know anything about Guo Xudong. Before today, none of them knew Guo Xudong, so how could they understand.

During the stalemate, another man with a gun came to the door of the guest room. This person is thin and weak, and he looks weak. Even though he was holding a gun, there was no trace of gangsterism in his eyes. If he didn't have a gun in his hand, he would only be treated as a Sven.

The man came to Guo Xudong and whispered a few words in his ear. When Guo Xudong heard this, he immediately smiled brightly and said, "Our guests have finally arrived." Then he said to them, 'Bring them all in with me!'

The person who came didn't say a word, and went out. After a while, he took two girls, one tall and one short, into the guest room.

When Fang Xin saw the two people who came in, he couldn't help but be shocked. Because he knew the two people brought in by Guo Xudong, and he was more familiar with them.

What made Fang Xin puzzled was that Guo Xudong caught himself and Xiaoxue for the bronze seal, but what was the purpose of arresting the two of them?

These two people, one is the elementary school teacher Hu Jie Hu, and the other is his old classmate Jingzhi.

'Teacher Hu? Jingzhi? How are you?' Fang Xin wanted to pounce, but as soon as he took a step all the way, Guo Xudong shot in the middle of the three of them, making Fang Xin have to stop his movements and stare directly at Guo Xudong.

Guo Xudong still smiled and said: "It's good to know, it's good to know. Since you all know each other, I don't need to say more. My meaning is clear, hand over the bronze seal, and leave.'

At this time, Shen Kuo suddenly said: "I don't think it's that simple. If you just want the Bronze Seal, it's enough to catch the four of us, and why do you have to arrest the other four girls as well. You have another purpose.'

'Damn, what the hell are you trying to do after you have captured so many of us?'

'Is it because my words are not clear enough, or is there something wrong with your comprehension.' Guo Xudong seemed to be a little impatient, "I don't have so much time to play with you, tell me, where is the bronze seal?" As he spoke, Guo Xudong raised his gun again and aimed it at Fang Xin. And Fang Xin was not afraid, his eyes didn't even blink.

Xiaoxue stepped forward and stopped between the two. She said to Guo Xudong: 'If you don't tell us the truth, we will never hand over the bronze seal.'

Guo Xudong's face was bruised, and everyone could see that he was enduring it. It's not that he doesn't dare to kill, it's that he can't kill them until he gets the bronze seal.

After a stalemate for a moment, Liu Ting, who had been hiding behind Shen Kuo, spoke prominently. And her words, like the thunder of a summer night, woke everyone up.

Liu Ting said: "Could it be that in addition to the bronze seal, there is also a relationship with the blood gate?" Only I can open the blood door, so what about them?' As she spoke, Liu Ting turned her gaze to Du Zijuan, Hu Jie and Jingzhi.

'That's right, it's the Bloodgate.' Fang Xin suddenly seemed to have figured it out, "Liu Ting can open the blood door, and Teacher Hu can also open the blood door before. Do you also ......' he pointed to Jingzhi and Du Zijuan.

'Tell me, is there any inevitable connection between the Bronze Seal and the Blood Gate?' Xiaoxue asked Guo Xudong very unceremoniously.

At such a time, Zheng Chuchen, who had been sitting on the sofa and smoking leisurely, suddenly said, "Boss, the ship is ready. We've been here for too long. Ha Lu Ha I want to see how they died. I want to enjoy their dying struggles so much, it must be wonderful.'

'Well, you've let me down so much.' Guo Xudong instructed the three Huzi to 'take them all to the ship.'

So, Huzi, Little Leopard and the weak scholar who didn't know the name of Lu Dao, armed with 100 submachine guns, drove Fang Xin and the other three out of the guest room and out of the Taihu Bay Hotel.

Along the way, Fang Xin Xiaoxue and the others asked from time to time: 'Where are you going to take us?'

However, Guo Xudong and his gang didn't say a word as if they had become mute. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, and your support. That's what motivates me the most......)
