After Zong Zhenlei shouted "empty edge" to the woman he bumped into, he turned his head and looked at Professor Li with a stunned expression, as if seeking an answer; It was too late, and a towel covered his mouth and nose from behind.

Professor Li watched in amazement at everything that was happening in front of his eyes, he didn't expect that Kongyuan would sneak out of the kitchen, let alone that she would attack directly; It wasn't until Kong Yuan searched Zong Zhenlei's mobile phone from his body and handed it to him that he woke up like a dream.

Professor Li looked at Zong Zhenlei's mobile phone, and when he looked up, he saw Kong Yuan put a packet of medicinal noodles into a water cup and stirred it, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Kongyuan looked at Professor Li and said, "He recognized me." A cold light shot out of his eyes.

Professor Li immediately understood how Tongyun died; He stepped forward and swept the cup to the ground with a wave of his hand, and whispered, "You are not allowed to kill people here!" ”

Kongyuan looked directly at Professor Li and said in a low voice, "I'm going to kill him!" He's an obstacle! ”

Professor Li said quickly: "You killed him, what should I do?" You're not openly making me a murderer! ”

Kongyuan squinted at Professor Li for a moment and asked, "Do you have a big bag here?" Load him and take it away. As he spoke, he tied Zong Zhenlei's hands and feet.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, Professor Li glanced at the cat's eye, pushed the empty edge behind the door, opened the door a crack, and before he saw anyone, he heard a storm-like voice coming from outside the door: "If you don't rest, other people's houses still have to rest, and you can't live upstairs and ignore downstairs, right?" Smashed things twice, three watches in the middle of the night! ”。

Professor Li squeezed a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to clean up the room!" ”

The people outside the door yelled a few more times, and finally muttered and left.

Closing the door, Professor Li sat down on the stool and took deep breaths.

Kongyuan came to Professor Li's side: "You don't want to go and see your students?" ”

Professor Li's eyes rolled towards the void: "Student? Li Ruhui? ”

Kong Yuan nodded, indicating that Professor Li guessed correctly, and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that in the Singaporean's luggage, there was a copper box, which was very delicate, and there was a strip of rags hidden in it. ”

Professor Li's eyes were full of light: "Strips of cloth? ”

Kongyuan looked at him: "Yes, there are also words written on it, there are Chinese, and there are strange crosses and crossings." ”

Professor Li sat up straight: "Japanese? He thought of the strip of cloth he had brought back from the office, jumped up from his chair, hurried into the study, came out with a wooden box, took out the strip of cloth from the box for the empty edge to see, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is the strip of cloth you said like this?" ”

Soragen nodded affirmatively, "Yes." ”

Professor Li grabbed Kongyuan's arm: "Where is the strip of cloth now?" ”

Kongyuan looked at Professor Li calmly: "Rental house." ”

Professor Li stuffed the strip of cloth into his coat pocket and pulled up the empty edge: "Quick! Go to the rental house! He didn't expect the other half of his grandfather's cloth strip to appear like this!

Kongyuan pointed at Zong Zhenlei: "What about him?" ”

Professor Li said: "Stay here for now, hurry up and get the strips of cloth, and come back later." He felt like he needed time to buffer and think about how to deal with today's surprises.

He had already appreciated the casualness of killing people in the air, and he reminded himself to be vigilant from now on, not to involve himself in her murder, let alone let her kill people in his house.

Kongyuan drove the car, and ten minutes later, the two arrived at the dormitory of the construction factory. Professor Li entered the room and saw a woman sleeping on the bed in the back room.

Kongyuan followed him into the back room and said, "Two hours of sleep will give you time to think about what to do next." ”

Professor Li looked at the empty edge and said, "What about the copper box you are talking about?" Let me see. ”

Kongyuan walked to the outhouse, took out a copper box from Hong Xitai's suitcase, and handed it to Professor Li, who came with him.

Professor Li opened the copper box and took out a strip of cloth from it; The strip of cloth he hid was a big one he had seen since he was a child, so at a glance he could see that the material of the strip of cloth in the copper box was the same as the one he hid, and the thickness of the pen on it was the same as that of the Japanese font.

The strip of cloth reads: "黄河は海流に入る".

Professor Li instantly understood that the strip of cloth he had in possession and Hong Xitai's strip of cloth were made by the same person, and the Japanese text on the two strips of cloth was connected as: "昼は山に従って尽き 黄河は海流に入る".

Professor Li grabbed his hair, he understood that Hong Seok-tae was related to the little officer who saved his grandfather!

Sora said, "There's also a letter in the suitcase." When she handed over the letter, she threw the copper box back into the box and began to tie Li Ruhui's hands and feet with ropes.

Professor Li took the letter and was about to read it, when he saw that Kong Yuan started to tie up Li Ruhui, and said sharply: "She also recognizes you?" ”

Kongyuan narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Yes, let's take her away when we leave, and we have to dispose of it together." ”

The three police vehicles headed south under Lao Tian's command; After arriving at the Taiyu Longcheng interchange, Lao Tian directed the vehicle to make a U-turn nearby and head north.

As he walked, Hong Seok-tae, who was still blindfolded, suddenly said, "Please slow down!" ”

Lao Tian motioned for the vehicle to slow down; Hong Xitai said: "Please go through the last part of the road again. ”

Lao Tian asked the three cars to turn around and return to the Taiyu Longcheng interchange, and re-entered the road north just now; After walking a short distance, Hong Xitai said, "This is it!" ”

I saw a large machinery and equipment parked next to the parking lot outside the car window, and there were several big words on the wall that was half blocked: "...... Road Construction Machinery Factory".

The rain is falling.

The three cars stopped at the gate of the dormitory outside the factory area of the Road Construction Machinery Factory, Lao Tian looked at the label and nodded, saying: "At first glance, you know that it is an old state-owned enterprise." ”

Lao Tian looked around and asked Hong Xitai: "Mr. Hong, there are two dormitory areas here, one north and one south, do you know which dormitory area?" ”

Hong Seok-tae put on the blindfold he had just taken off and said, "The smell in the rain is not obvious, I will listen and walk, you follow me." As he spoke, he got out of the car in the rain and was about to move forward.

Lao Tian stopped him and said, "Slow down, I'll let my people go ahead, and I'm responsible for your safety." ”

Hong Seok-tae nodded and stopped.

Hong Xitai walked to the gates of the two dormitory areas, listened to it, sniffed it again, pointed to the dormitory area to the north and said, "This is it." ”

There were several buildings in the dormitory area, and Lao Tian waved his hand to let three people walk in front, and the others followed Hong Xitai.

When Professor Li heard Kongyuan say that he wanted to dispose of Li Ruhui together, he understood that what Kongyuan said at this moment was to kill Li Ruhui and Zong Zhenlei together, and it was the first time he knew that she was so "ruthless" and so unscrupulous!

Professor Li furrowed his brows, and was about to speak, when Kongyuan suddenly said, "Not good! Walk! ”

The empty edge pulled him and ran out of the back door in the rain without saying anything; The two hid in the dark on the side of the road, only to see a group of people walking outside the courtyard gate, and went straight to the rental house they had just come out of. It turned out that the tip of the empty ear, heard that several cars were parked at the gate of the compound at the same time, and immediately judged that there was a situation, and the result was really for the rental house.

Seeing that the courtyard gate couldn't get out, Kongyuan took Professor Li to the back row of the house wall and pointed to the wall; Through the shadow of the street lamp, she scurried up to the wall first, then leaned over and pulled Professor Li up the slippery wall in the rain, and then the two quietly went down to the other side of the wall.

At this point, Professor Li understood that those people were police officers; He knew that since the police could find this place and knew that he was acquainted with Kongyuan, they would definitely go to his dormitory to set up control, indicating that he could not return to the dormitory; He judged that the police came to find the murderer, although he may also be on the police's tracking list, but it is estimated that the police did not know that he instructed Kong Yuan to kidnap Hong Xitai; He thought that as long as he found an opportunity to get rid of the void or let her shut up, he could still turn the tables and return to the social stage; His hand touched Zong Zhenlei's mobile phone in his trouser pocket, remembered Li Ruhui's laptop that he didn't bring out, thought of the research results that were about to arrive, and then thought of Zong Zhenlei and Li Ruhui, and happily thought, thanks to the empty fate that he didn't have time to start, otherwise he would have become an accomplice to the murderer, and once that happened, he would really have to wander the world.

Coming over the wall, here is an old dormitory area, where a stolen car is stored, which she has been preparing for escape for a long time. She dragged the professor into the car, and the rain became heavier and heavier.

* * * * * *

Hong Xitai walked and smelled and listened while walking in the dormitory area of the Road Construction Machinery Factory, stopped at the door of a house on the first floor, took off his blindfold, wiped the rain from his face, and said with certainty: "This is it." ”

The curtains were drawn and the lights were on.

Lao Tian stopped his subordinates who were going to knock on the door, looked at the structure of the building, and whispered, this house seems to have a back door; Raise your hand and summon another person, ask him to lead the two of them to block the back door, and then let the person at the front door knock when they are in place.

After a while, I heard a movement in the house, and then someone opened the door, and when I saw it, it was someone who had been sent to the back door; I heard them say that the back door was hidden, so they came in.

Everyone entered, and immediately found a woman tied up on the bed in the back room; Lao Tian beckoned Hong Xitai to come over to identify him, and immediately asked his subordinates to scatter inside and outside to search; Hong Xitai stepped forward to take a look and shouted, "Li Ruhui! ”

Hong Xitai approached the sleeping Li Ruhui's mouth and nose, smelled the smell she exhaled, turned back to Lao Tian and said: "She was ecstasy, just like my trick, I have the antidote here, if I can't solve it, you can call an ambulance again." ”

Lao Tian nodded in agreement.

Hong Xitai took out a capsule from the fifth belt loop of his pants, unscrewed it, and wiped it on Li Ruhui's person, and the rest of the water was used for her; After a while, Li Ruhui woke up like a big dream.

Li Ruhui opened her eyes and saw Hong Xitai and a few people she didn't know in front of her, she struggled for a while and wanted to get up but couldn't get up, so she grabbed Mr. Hong Xitai's hand and said, "Sir, hurry, call the police, call the police!" Go catch the empty edge! ”

Hong Xitai pointed to Lao Tian next to him and said, "This is the person in charge of your local police, you can tell him." ”

Lao Tian walked up to Li Ruhui and said, "We have already carried out operations and are looking for empty opportunities. ”

As he was talking, a person came in from the outhouse, carrying a box in his hand, and handed it to Lao Tian.

Hong Seok-tae looked back and immediately said, "This is my suitcase, I'll take a look." ”

Lao Tian asked people to open the box, only to see that in addition to a few pieces of clothing, there was also a round copper box with a delicate Guanyin statue engraved on the cover.

Hong Seok-tae knelt down in front of the box, respectfully picked up the round copper box with both hands, and muttered repeatedly: "Thank God, it's okay, it's intact!" It's okay, it's okay! ”

Lao Tian came to Hong Xitai and asked, "What kind of valuables is this exquisite copper box used for?" ”

Hong Xitai took a deep breath and said, "It is a testimony about the history of your city. It was left by the father, and this treasure, it had another brother, and the two treasures together constituted a ......."

As he spoke, Hong Seok-tae opened the round copper box.

However, the round copper box was empty.

Hong Seok-tae's eyes darkened, and he sat on the floor.

Li Ruhui was about to pick up Mr. Hong Xitai, but after taking a step, she felt that her legs were weak, and she sat back on the bed.

Lao Tian, who was standing next to Hong Xitai, and the assistant standing on the side, helped Hong Xitai up and sat on a chair, and when he saw that he was conscious, he whispered to ask him for his opinion if he needed to go to the hospital; Lao Tian probably saw that the items in the round copper box were missing, which dealt a big blow to Hong Xitai.

Li Ruhui said to Lao Tian that Mr. Ang Seok Tai is the Singapore sponsor of our research project, and he is old, and he has experienced so many things in the past two days, so he should be sent to the hospital for a check-up first.

Hong Xitai sat there with his whole body weak, although he couldn't speak, he waved his hand at Lao Tian and Li Ruhui, seeing that he meant that he didn't want to cause trouble to the police.

Lao Tian also stepped forward to persuade Hong Xitai again, and finally he nodded; Hong Xitai and Li Ruhui exchanged contact information, and Lao Tian sent two people to accompany Mr. Hong Xitai to the Provincial People's Hospital on Shuangta East Street, which is the closest tertiary hospital to here.

The sky was thunder and lightning, and the rain was pouring down.
