Chapter 219: Hunter
The tiger and Montero were so mysterious that Yu Ming was uneasy and joked: "Are you guys having a masquerade ball?" ”
"Safety first." The tiger replied, stretched out his hand and smiled, "Yu Ming, you have performed much better than I imagined. ”
Yu Ming shook hands with the tiger and asked with a smile: "Tiger, you won't come to praise me, right?" ”
"I'm here to give you answers, and I'm here to find them, Sisoka." ”
Montero is a surname, and his name is Siso. Montero nodded, lifted the computer, and a picture appeared, asking, "Have you seen this picture?" ”
"En......" Yu Ming looked at the picture and shook his head: "It's a double-barreled shotgun, not a single-barreled shotgun." The other is to close the left eye, not the right eye. ”
"This one?" Montero for another one.
Yu Ming thought carefully and said for a while: "That's right. ”
"Seems to be right." Montero looks at the Tigers.
"Yes." The tiger asked: "Yu Ming, let's test you a simple question first, which eye to close when shooting?" ”
"Close your eyes." The two eyes of a person are divided into the main eye and the secondary eye, and they want to know which one is their main eye, so they stretch out their hands and point to an object two to three meters, and then close their left and right eyes in turn, which eye sees the same position as the two eyes, which is the main eye.
(Is someone doing this?) )
"The predecessor of the independent investigator was established by the insurance pursuers of various insurance companies in Europe, and the predecessor of Bingxue was secretly established by several organizations who hated the law's restrictions on law enforcement. The predecessor of the spider was a high-IQ club. ”
"Huh?" Yu Ming didn't understand the meaning of what the tiger said.
"In the nineteenth century, firearms replaced bows and crossbows, and at that time hunting clubs dominated by firearms began to appear, and because of the law and money, most of the people who participated in the clubs were people of high society. At the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a club that was famous in Europe. They often go hunting together in Africa. After the start of World War II, most of the clubs joined the army, and the club collapsed. "This club is called the Hunters' Club, which began to be reorganized in the fifties of the twentieth century and grew in the United States, because the United States was the victor of World War II and allowed legal possession of firearms. The compilers consisted of three people, a general, a famous hunter and a merchant. ”
"The Hunters Club is successful and the reason for its success is ...... It's like playing a game. A game that doesn't have any difficulty at all, then no one likes to play. What sets the Hunters' Club apart is that they have their own hunting rules, first specifying the animals and later specifying the weight of the animals. It cannot be exceeded or less than the standard. Where there is a game, there is a bet, and the club is registered in Las Vegas. Members are free to gamble. ”
"Like inside a mountain. Ten hunters round up a particular animal together, and whoever wins gets the entire bet. At the time, the game was a rival to the popular Russian roulette, with the difference that the former required a high level of expertise, while the latter relied entirely on luck. You hear it. They are no longer satisfied with only fighting with animals, but have turned to borrowing animals to achieve wrestling between people. ”
"In the 60s, there was an incident at the club where a hunter was fighting for his prey. Sniped the hunter who spotted the prey first. The other hunters were furious, and in order to punish the hunter, they ordered the hunter to go into the forest, and the eight of them rounded up the hunter as a prey. Zuihou turned out that, naturally, the hunter died. ”
However, this bloody hunt inspired the hunters, and two or three hunters privately made bets to hunt with the living as the target. The ancient Roman Colosseum was transformed from a game of beasts and beasts to a game of man and beast, and zuihou developed into a game of life and death between people and people. Inevitably, they found that living people are more satisfying than animals, that they think, that they can fight back, that they use tools, that they can dig traps. Soon, the game became the club's tacit game. ”
"In the early years, they used the Vietnamese, because there was the Vietnam War, and then they looked for Africans, because Africans are familiar with the mountains and forests. This club is also slowly transformed into a private club of nobles, and ordinary people have no way to get involved in it, and its reputation is getting louder and louder, but the secret is only known to insiders. By the seventies, volunteers appeared. Volunteers who survive within the allotted time can receive a significant bonus. ”
The tiger sighed deeply: "Evolution is the foundation of human civilization, at this time the United States suffered from the impact of hippie culture, white racial supremacy movement and other ideas, at the end of the seventies, the club began to evolve, they are no longer satisfied with fighting in the forest, because the forest does not have access to the modern technology popularization of cars. So the battlefield shifted to the city, but the city was not as secret as the forest, and the volunteers could change their minds at any time. ”
"The people in the club are smart people, so they came up with a way to hunt and kill. They set their sights on a target and then do not use unequal weapons such as firearms, causing the target to cause accidental death. This approach is supported by the vast majority of people, who claim to be the elite of society, intelligent people, and professional talents. They are tired of guns and want to assassinate their targets in all sorts of bizarre ways. ”
"The earliest rule was that whoever could make the fastest move to create the illusion of accidental death of the target would be the winner. In the mid-to-late eighties, with the discovery of forensic technology, they changed the rules, and whoever can kill the target without becoming a suspect in the police is the winner. ”
"The evolution of the game has led to a phenomenon where there are stand-ins as the competition becomes more and more fierce and some people grow old with time. There can only be one stand-in for life, and the stand-in can be cultivated or recruited, and the stand-in replaces the employer for the competition. The most popular person was undoubtedly a spy after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and in '93, a young prodigy appeared, who was a stand-in for an employer who had been trained since childhood, and won the first place in four competitions. ”
"Ninety-four and ninety-five were the pinnacle of the club, and with the development of the economy, these club members who controlled the raw materials, means of production, jishu, etc., slowly grew old, and they privately cultivated their own stand-ins. Ninety-six years was the end of this club, and in the early years, a certain member accidentally became a suspect in a murder case, and with the help of the lawyer team, he was always able to get out. At this time, the founder of the club, the hero of World War II, was critically ill, and before he died, he confessed to the priest what he had done. ”
"The priest was shocked that the people involved were the elite who were leading the global mainstream. What if there is faith on one side and conscience on the other? The priest did one thing, he poisoned himself, and then made a pre-death confession, he deliberately sought out an upright young policeman with priestly qualifications, who was the founder of Ice and Snow. The young man knew about this and reported it to his boss, but he didn't think about it, the news leaked, the police hadn't acted yet, and the killer came first. One of his legs was crippled. ”
"After a year of judicial battles, four of the ten club members died during the investigation, and the other six denied the killings, when DNAjishu had already appeared, and each of the six was convicted of at least one homicide. But they still deny that it is a collective act, and only admit that it is a private act. Convictions occurred mainly in the United States and Europe. However, due to the different laws of various countries, for example, some states in the United States do not have the death penalty, and in the end, two people escaped the death penalty. One died in prison, and the other was released from prison the year before last due to physical reasons, but he violated the parole regulations and disappeared from prison after being released, and is still on Interpol wanted warrant. ”
When the story of the tiger was finally finished, Yu Ming asked, "What does it have to do with this?" ”
Montero said, "The tigers say, they pick targets. These people have their own strengths and different preferences for their goals, so how to solve this problem? So came out this game, which they called target or hunting. The earliest rule, ten envelopes, each with a piece of paper, on which they wrote the address of their chosen target, and one of the envelopes had this target map. Once the target receives the target map, the game begins. When the target dies and someone touches the target, they become the next target, until the target disappears, becomes untraceable, or is filed by the local police. ”
Yu Ming gasped and asked, "Do you mean that Ben, who was set on fire in the morning, became a new target because he had touched the target?" ”
"Last year, there was a case in the United States, and no one paid attention to it, and there was this target map. It must be explained that the secret of the target map was not leaked, the club was destroyed, and the investigators never knew that they were killing through the target. So the likelihood of a parody crime is very low. ”
Yu Ming asked curiously, "How do you know?" ”
"Hanni, one of the founders of Ice and Snow, was a priest. One of the club's men died in prison, and before he died, he asked Hanni to confess and explain the target map. ”
Hanny? Damn, I know him, what an undedicated pastor.
Montero said: "There are only ten people who know about the target map at the moment, the three of us, Hanny of the Ice and Snow, and a survivor of the missing paroled club Zuihou. There are five other people I am not sure, because these five people are stand-ins, after the club was destroyed, these five stand-ins disappeared, I checked the information at the time, they disappeared in an organized way, they may have been collectively wiped out, it may be a new identity. It's been more than twenty years, and the hunters are back. ”
Yu Ming asked: "Our independent investigator should be a neutral organization, and there seems to be no need to get involved in this matter." ”
"In principle, we are not involved in this. However, our independent investigator has four heavy commissions, which have not been completed or revoked, and the reason why they have not been revoked is that the client has died, which is more like a will. All four commissions are star-level commissions, one of which is the pursuit of the hunter. The employer was an earl, and his son was tragically targeted, and he was willing to put all his fortune on the hunter. He was my uncle, and I inherited all my uncle's estate when I joined the Independent Investigators, and I issued a commission to hunt down the hunters in accordance with his wishes, with a reward of eighty million pounds and a castle. ”
Yu Ming nodded: "I know, but it seems that some conditions must be met before I can accept it." "The four Star Order Sheets can be seen, all of which are written confidential, and if you are interested, you can contact the Chairman's Committee. Ye Zhan tried to contact him, but the chairman's committee vetoed it. (To be continued......)
