(The first update, the two-in-one update, and one or two more at night)

The bathroom is pale with beige tiles and a brass metal bathtub that decorates the bathroom gorgeously, but the corpses inside make the bathroom look like a scene from a horror movie.

After Li Jiting broke the plastic bag containing the corpse, the smell of blood, urine and soaphorn came to his face, Cheng Mo couldn't help but pinch his head, and only turned his head to look at the somewhat frightening picture after a while.

"One shot kills, the marksmanship is very professional, so that the other party struggles and calls too late, the bullet enters from the back of the head, penetrates the center of the eyebrows, from the size of the cavity, it is a close-range shot, equipped with a silencer, and the Makarov pistol is used, this pistol has a special bullet, the cartridge case is specially designed to hold 9 mm × 18 mm lead bullet, also known as Makarov bullet....." After a pause, Li Jiting looked at the dark red bullet hole on the back of the corpse's head and said calmly:" There were still burn marks on the hair standing on end around the bullet holes, which showed that the muzzle of the gun was very close and the other party was completely defenseless. ”

Cheng Mo was silent on the surface, as if he was very calm looking at Li Jiting observing the corpse, in fact, his mind was a little confused at this moment, the first time he saw the real corpse so closely, it was in such a strange situation.

As for his father's, it was called "corpse", which was placed in the mourning hall and ice coffin at that time, and in the place full of rituals, his feeling was completely different from seeing the "corpse" at the moment, and it did not make people feel that there was anything to be afraid of, as if he saw a person asleep forever.

But at this moment, although the quiet bathroom was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated, neither dirty nor messy, there was an inexplicable sense of fear that crept up on his heart like a vine, as if it was desperately pulling him down into the darkness.

Although Cheng Mo, to be precise, should be his carrier, did not have any uncomfortable reaction physiologically, and even his heartbeat was not half a beat, but in his subconscious, he was still extremely repulsive to such a thing as "death", so at this moment, after chaotic thinking, his brain turned blank, and only one thought was shouting: "Hurry up and get out of this place, hurry up and get out of this place." ”

If it weren't for Li Jiting calmly looking at the corpse of this strange Russian in front of his eyes, Cheng Mo would have turned around and ran away, not all fear, but people's instinctive fear of death, after all, he was only 16 years old.

"Tattoo of the coat of arms of the double-headed eagle of the Russian Empire? I hope he is not Shirkov. Li Jiting looked at the double-headed eagle tattoo on the man's neck and said softly.

Cheng Mo forced his somewhat chaotic thinking to get on track, he tried to get rid of his fear, let his brain work again, and enter into thinking: although tattoos are considered a sign of the underworld in modern times, tattoo people are generally viewed in a different way in Asia, and many workplaces do not accept tattoo people, in fact, the first tattoo artist opened a tattoo space in 1880, in a Turkish bath in London called "Benjamin Street", and then appeared in the high places of London's famous West End. So, where did the development of the tattoo profession begin?

Therefore, the European aristocracy did not reject tattoos, and even in the early days, only nobles could get tattoos, so it is not certain whether this person was Shirkov with tattoos.

The Sylkov in the photo has flaxen hair, which is similar to this person, except that the corpse's hair is very short, and Sylkov's skin is whiter than this corpse..... Of course, it had to be white, and the time of death was more than eight hours, so the corpse began to spread, and the whole person was blackened, and he had seen these things in his reasoning.....

Cheng Mo's obsessive thinking was running quickly, and Li Jiting did not show any abnormality to the corpse, as if he was looking at an object, he turned the stiff corpse around with a slight flip, for the carrier, flipping a man of about 160 pounds was as easy as turning over a fish in a pot.

Then Li Jiting tore off the plastic bag, and in an instant the face of the corpse appeared in front of Cheng Mo and Li Jiting's eyes, the man's eye sockets were deep, his pupils were dilated without a little luster, and his eyeballs flattened from the sphere, this was because there was no blood pressure in the body, he had a hooked nose, a mustache, a scar on his forehead, a bullet hole in the center of his eyebrows, and red and white connective tissue and fibrous membranes.

It is clear that this is not the handsome Shirkov.

"It's not Shirkov...."Li Jiting seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "the warhead outlet in the center of the eyebrows is two to three times larger than the import." This is due to the fact that the pistol has a large kinetic energy and the bullet does not roll. Li Jiting let go and put the body back into the bathtub, "The time of death was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon.....

Cheng Mo understood why Li Jiting breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, if the deceased was Shirkov, it meant that the cross bee had already reached the hands of the Cao County people, leaving his life meaningless, it was still possible to track down Shirkov, and it was almost impossible to track down a Cao County agent who didn't know his appearance.

Li Jiting did not stop inspecting the corpse, he ripped open the entire thick green plastic bag like a raincoat, which Cheng Mo guessed was the body bag that every safe house would have.

Li Jiting fumbled in the pocket of the man's jeans, except for a folded hand, a circle of keys and a few thousand rubles, there was no mobile phone, the mobile phone should have been taken away, and there was nothing else that could indicate the man's identity.

Li Jiting tore open the man's T-shirt, and the man's blackened stiff torso was covered with tattoos, "This person is from the Russian mafia..... The emblematic tattoo of the Russian mafia is the star, the star tattoo on the shoulder indicates that the prisoner has been done, the star tattoo on the knee indicates that the knee will never bend the knee, and the star tattoo on the chest represents status and power, and only the trusted backbone of the organization can be audited and enjoy the honor of having the star tattooed on the chest....."

Li Jiting didn't look back at Cheng Mo, but pointed to the star tattoo on the man's shoulder and continued: "In Russia, tattoos are an obscure symbol, for Russian gangsters, tattoos are a person's ID card, through tattoos, without the need for archives, you can know his past and his experience, these tattoos even determine their status in prison....."

The carrier's sense of smell has been completely turned off by Cheng Mo, and the overly keen sense of smell is completely tortured at this moment, such as the smell of carbon dioxide molecules that permeates it, in fact, carbon dioxide itself has no taste, but it reacts with the water vapor containing other molecules in the air to form carbonic acid, with the progress of respiration, the concentration of carbonic acid is getting higher and higher, and this air has a smell when inhaled, and plays a role in stimulating the respiratory tract, which is one of the reasons for the odor in the room.

After turning off his sense of smell, Cheng Mo's discomfort decreased a lot, which allowed him to focus on the tattoos on the man's body, the man's abdomen was tattooed with the Russian "huge Soviet thought", as well as "C2H5OH", the chemical formula of ethanol (alcohol), with Yeltsin's head, which was obviously alluding to Yeltsin, a 10,000-year-old drunkard.....

"This person's status in the gang is not high, but he has been in prison twice and participated in the Checheng War..." Li Jiting pointed to the Russian Cheers slogan with his fingerprint on the left side of his abdomen: "Excited Kremlin tears, for the victory of the Checheng War!"

After saying that, Li Jiting put the plastic bag back on the man's body, straightened up, walked to the sink opposite the bathtub, unscrewed the water, and began to wash his hands with soap, as if he had just done something inconsequential.

While washing his hands, Li Jiting said as if talking to himself: "I used to be an observer in Afghanistan, and I once saw with my own eyes the bazaar in Zabul that was blown up by fundamentalists, and most of the dead were XX civilians. More than 30 people were strewn in the streets, and the corpses were mixed with blasted wood, tarpaulins, rubble and other construction debris, covered with a thick layer of cement-colored dust, and there was no dignity at all..... I couldn't make any connection between the corpses in front of me, like tattered cotton wool and garbage bags, with the cunning uncle who had been bargaining with you a few days ago, the shy and shy girl with her eyebrows, and the children who were shouting at their uncle while kicking the sewing ball....."

Li Jiting looked at himself in the mirror and said in a flat tone: "At that moment, do you know what I was thinking?...... I didn't feel anything, I just felt paralyzed, like a huge invisible monster hovering over the ruins of the bazaar, looking down on us with contempt, devouring the emotions and colors around me, leaving me with nothing but gray nothingness in my heart. ”

"Death is not terrible, although death is rarely seen in a person's life, it is always accompanied by death; war is not terrible, war is almost as old as our human beings, and the terrible human heart is not human, when it loses its rationality and transforms into a beast or a machine, it is no longer human..... Li Jiting's voice is like a church bell in the cramped bathroom, deep and long.

Li Jiting turned his head to look at Cheng Mo and said with a smile: "So don't let the instinct of animal nature occupy our hearts...."

Cheng Mo nodded, for the first time he felt that Li Jiting's smile was not cynical, but a helpless comfort.

Li Jiting turned around, turned off the faucet, sighed, and wiped his hands with the white towel hanging on the towel rack next to him: "The clue seems to be broken again, apprentice, what do you think....."

"You can't say that..... It is worth thinking about why this gang member came here and why he was killed, since he was killed without defense, it means that he did not know that Shirkov was also here..... Judging by the level of professionalism you just described, it should have been killed by another agent from Cao County...."

Li Jiting turned around and walked outside the bathroom, Cheng Mo hurriedly followed, and asked him to stay here alone, it was still a little creepy, those lifeless eyes were always floating in his mind, and it was also a troublesome thing to have too strong a memory at this time.

"Why do you think this gangster is here?" Li Jiting asked after walking out of the bathroom.

Cheng Mo knew that Li Jiting also had the answer in his heart, but he was just taking the test for him, "Let me guess..... Maybe it's for the train ticket....."

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"At this time, if you need help from others, you can only escape from Moscow, assuming that they are not going to sit on 240, but K20, then it will be difficult for Cao County people to get tickets by themselves, and if the Cao County staff in Russia are stared at, then they can only rely on Russians or Chinese. In Moscow, naturally, it is the quickest, most convenient and unobtrusive way to find Russian gangsters..... They also know that the gangsters in Moscow are looking for them, so when this gangster comes with a ticket, in order not to leak the news, he will naturally be exterminated.... That's the reason for my guess. ”

"I also think so, this man is definitely not up to the level of assisting them to escape, but it is more than enough to be scalped...... Do you think they're going to sit on the K20?"

Cheng Mo shook his head, "It's hard to say, this may also be an act of cultivating the plank road in the dark.... In fact, the possibility of the other party sitting on 240 or K20 still exists.... But I'm inclined to ..... 240..... After all, the last carriage of 240 is under the control of their Cao County, which will be much more convenient, and it can provide diplomatic protection when necessary, while K20 is not, but K20 is not without advantages, not to mention that it is not as eye-catching as 240, K20 has more international tourists, and it will be slightly easier to hide than 240....."

Li Jiting was not discussing with Cheng Mo, but looked at the surveillance, but the hard drive had been taken away, so he began to rummage in this small room, this safe house does not have much evidence that can be determined to be the safe house of Cao County, but the location of this room is separated by two walls of the safe house on the fifth floor of the Pevlitskaya apartment, and they can even see each other through the window, Li Jiting does not think it is a coincidence, at least 90% of the probability that this is the safe house of Cao County.

This is not a case, it doesn't matter if there is evidence or not, the important thing is the clues, but unfortunately the other party is very cunning and did not leave any clues.

"Wait a minute, I'm trying to see if I can track the other party, if I can't catch up, I will arrange for you to take K20 back tomorrow, and I will take 240 ..... the day after tomorrow" After a pause, Li Jiting explained: "I asked you to sit on K20, mainly because of lack of manpower, and your observation is meticulous enough, I think as long as Shirkov is on K20, he will not be able to escape your eyes...."

"You guys, it doesn't matter if I get in the car, the benefits are proportional to the risks, but I think Senior Sister Xie should let her go back by plane!" Cheng Mo frowned slightly, it was obvious that this matter was not fun, an inconsequential person would lose his life casually, a person like them who deliberately pursued him, as long as he encountered it, it would definitely be life and death, and it would be too dangerous to survive, and he had no choice, since he chose to enter the inner world, it was impossible to live a peaceful and stable life.

"Just because she's here, so I can rest assured that you get in the car, don't underestimate her, she has practiced, the body fights with the body, she can win three of you....." Li Jiting smiled.

"It's not that she's strong, it's that my body is too weak. Cheng Mo said expressionlessly.

"Even if you don't have a heart condition, you're no match for her, Xiaojin has been practicing kendo since she was a child, and she has won the championship of the national women's kendo competition. ”

Cheng Mo scoffed: "Can practicing kendo be compared with a gun? This is not a competition, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, it is better for me to ride in the car alone, and I can't implicate her." ”

Li Jiting stood on the side of the bed, touched his chin, and said to Cheng Mo with an ambiguous smile: "Yo? I really care about people! I don't know how Xiao Jin will feel when he hears it!"

"I don't like to be dragged down by others, and I don't like to be dragged down.... So it's better to be alone. Cheng Mo said coldly.

Li Jiting smiled "hehe", looked at Cheng Mo slyly and said: "That's it! I'll tell her tomorrow that you're helping me chase a spy, and make her understand that it is dangerous to sit on K20, and see how she chooses for herself!"

Of course, Cheng Mo knew how a girl like Xie Minyun would choose, and he was a little dissatisfied.

Li Jiting waved his hand and interrupted Cheng Mo, "Don't worry! Do you think that if a person like her goes abroad, no one will secretly follow her to protect her? If it weren't for the fact that your body is too weak, I wouldn't have used Xiao Jin.... I don't know what to be scolded by his father when I go back now....."

"Can't you send someone to protect my body?"

Li Jiting shook his head, "No, I'm going to send someone to protect you, and your identity as a stalker may be exposed.... Your identity is not yet suitable for exposure... It's okay, as long as you find Shirkov and notify me as soon as possible, I will not only rush to K20 immediately, but also call other people hiding in the car to act, you mainly play the role of an observer, not for you to fight and kill, and there will be no danger if you pay a little attention. ”

Seeing that he couldn't dispel Li Jiting's thoughts, Cheng Mo was very helpless, so he could only stop talking and watch Li Jiting work.

Li Jiting searched for a while in the safe house of the Budapest Hotel, but did not find other valuable clues, and when he left, Li Jiting did not forget to put a bag on the corpse to ensure that the matter of the corpse in the room would not be exposed soon, and then left the European-style hotel quickly with Cheng Mo.

After walking out of the hotel, Li Jiting said: "You return to the body now, so that the use time of the carrier can be as early as possible, remember, when you get in the car tomorrow, don't use the carrier until you have to, you only have one activation opportunity in 24 hours, so you must use it when saving your life...."

Cheng Mo said calmly: "Got it!"

Li Jiting patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder, "I'll give you a credit today, although I didn't find Shirkov, but I found his whereabouts, and I can exchange some money from Napoleon VII...."

—————————

Waiting for Cheng Mo's carrier to disappear in the co-pilot, Li Jiting took out his mobile phone and sent out the information that Shirkov had stayed in the safe house on the fifth floor of the Budapest Hotel, of course, these will not be free.

"There will not be two trains in the world that can bring together so many Chosen and Gladiators..... Then it's time for them to come in. ”

The black Audi slid into the sleepless streets and disappeared into the darkness of the night.
