Chapter 57: In the Dead of Night
After sending Mr. Hong Xitai away, Li Ruhui wanted Zong Zhenlei to pick him up, only to find that his mobile phone was missing; So she borrowed a mobile phone from a young policeman next to her, but something strange happened, she dialed it again, Zong Zhenlei's mobile phone rang a few times and was hung up, and then dialed again, and found that the other party's mobile phone had been turned off.
This has never happened before! Suddenly, a bunch of mysteries arose in Li Ruhui's head: Why is it inconvenient for Zong Zhenlei to answer the phone? Was he outside or at home at this time?
Li Ruhui immediately dialed the landline of Zong Zhenlei's house, she wanted to know the reason why he didn't answer her phone, although she knew that Zong Zhenlei would say that she was a girl in love and was not confident in herself, but she still thought that it was better than holding back suspicion all night; In addition, she was anxious to tell him what had happened to her tonight, so that he could be more vigilant.
An old man's sleepy voice answered the phone, saying that Zong Zhenlei was going to go out to get his notebook after receiving a call.
Li Ruhui's stomach was full of anger, and she remembered her contact with Zong Zhenlei and his last words before she went to the parking lot.
At this moment, Li Ruhui realized that when Zong Zhenlei finished the last sentence "contact again", if he came immediately and looked everywhere when he didn't contact him, maybe he would also encounter danger! Thinking of this, Li Ruhui was stunned.
Seeing Li Ruhui stunned with her mobile phone after making a call, the young policeman looked at her with curious eyes, and then signaled to her if she could take her mobile phone back.
Li Ruhui suddenly cried out with a "wow"; She wanted to hold on to something so that she wouldn't go limp, but there happened to be a hand next to her, so she grabbed it tightly with both hands desperately.
At this time, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and she had a premonition that it would bring disaster to Zong Zhenlei, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly.
The young policeman obviously didn't expect that asking for his mobile phone would actually cause the girl to cry, and her hand was still grabbed by her, and she stood next to her in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
Lao Tian, who was arranging the work behind, turned around, patted her on the shoulder, handed over a pack of tissues, and asked her with concern what was the matter.
Li Ruhui looked back at Lao Tian, reached out to take the tissue, and nodded at him gratefully, only to find that the other hand was still holding the young policeman's hand, so he quickly let go and controlled his emotions a little.
Li Ruhui, who recovered emotionally, wiped her tears and told Lao Tian about what happened before she was stunned, and said: "I lost my temper just now, I was worried that my boyfriend Zong Zhenlei was also caught and locked up by the air, if he is in danger, it will be me who harmed him, and I called him here." As she spoke, she handed the phone back to the young policeman.
When Lao Tian heard Li Ruhui say this, his brows suddenly furrowed: "This matter seems to be quite complicated, and the things involved are not like simple Singaporeans being kidnapped, it seems that there are other plans." I just want to know a little bit about it, can you tell me about your team and your research. ”
Li Ruhui briefly introduced the research topic and the situation of the research team to Lao Tian.
Lao Tian thought for a while and said: "Hong Xitai is the sponsor of your research project, there are four people involved in the project, you and your boyfriend are in this research group, Hong Xitai and you have been stunned by empty fate, your boyfriend is temporarily missing, three of the four people have an accident, and now there is only Professor Li who has no accident?" ”
Li Ruhui nodded and said, "He is the only one left." Zong Zhenlei analyzed with me this afternoon, and he suspected that the appearance of the void in the local area was related to Professor Li; Zong Zhenlei had met her before Kongyuan came to the local area, but that was when he met Professor Li when he sent a letter to Kongyuan. ”
Lao Tian walked back and forth in the room with a frown, and said, "Does Zong Zhenlei often go to Professor Li's?" ”
Li Ruhui nodded and said, "He has been there a few times, and I introduced him to Professor Li." ”
Lao Tian thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go to Professor Li's place now, can you leave now?" ”
As if Li Ruhui didn't understand, she asked anxiously, "Go to Professor Li?" Right now? Don't you look for Zong Zhenlei? ”
Lao Tian half-squatted down, looked at Li Ruhui and said: "The matter between you and Mr. Hong Xitai was all done by empty fate, and the empty fate is related to Professor Li, so I have to find Professor Li first and ask him if he knows about your boyfriend's situation, and it is also to rule out that your boyfriend was also attacked by empty fate." Seeing Li Ruhui nodding, he stood up and looked at the time, and said to the assistant next to him as he walked out: "Let's go to S University, I don't know if the operation over there has started, maybe we are one step ahead of them." ”
Li Ruhui immediately wanted to stand up, but just as she wanted to take a step, she felt that her legs were weak, and she suddenly sat back on the bed.
Just when the young policeman next to her was about to help her, she only heard her shout: "Mine! "Scared the young policeman.
The young policeman looked in the direction of Li Ruhui's hand, and saw a silk scarf hanging on the wall, and the young policeman walked over and took off the silk scarf and handed it to Li Ruhui.
Li Ruhui held the silk scarf tightly and said, "It's mine, mine, I finally found you." It turned out that in the past two days, Li Ruhui found that the silk scarf that Zong Zhenlei gave her was missing, she always suspected that it was stolen with the mobile phone that day, but she felt that she didn't know where she went, and she didn't expect it to appear here in Kongyuan, so it seems that it was indeed Kongyuan's mobile phone that entered her room and stole it that day.
The appearance of the silk scarf brought strength to Li Ruhui, and she wanted to catch the bad guy immediately; She stood up and staggered to the door: "I'll lead the way, I know which building the professor lives in."
Lao Tian, who had already arrived outside the door, turned around: "Okay, it's time to arrive, you call Professor Li first and tell him that you want to ask him about something." ”
The young policeman next to Li Ruhui saw that she was unsteady and wanted to help her, but she politely refused, saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine." ”
Lao Tian arranged for personnel to enter the next step of action, and left two people to stay at the scene; Just as he was about to get into the car, the two policemen who took Hong Xitai to the hospital called, saying that after the hospital examination, Mr. Hong was mainly caused by hypoglycemia and sudden news stimulation caused by not eating, and after emergency treatment, he had improved and was now sent back to Yingze Hotel to rest.
Lao Tian told Li Ruhui the news, and Li Ruhui said: "It's great that Mr. Hong is fine, I hope everyone can be safe." ”
The car sped on the road in heavy rain and pressed out two hydrofoils.
Lao Tian called in again, and after he said a few words, he closed the line and said, "My colleague has been to Professor Li's place, but Professor Li is not at home." ”
Li Ruhui understood that Lao Tian was telling her, and asked anxiously: "Then where to find Zong Zhenlei?" ”
Lao Tian looked at the rain column pouring out of the car window and shook his head: "Let's go to Professor Li's dormitory first according to the original plan."
The car entered S University, and when they arrived at the downstairs of the dormitory, Lao Tian asked the two of them to go upstairs first, and then said to Li Ruhui, who was sitting in the back seat of the car: "You still call Professor Li as I said just now." ”
Li Ruhui said: "Okay. ”
Li Ruhui took the mobile phone handed by the young policeman and dialed Professor Li, something strange happened again, the phone rang a few times and was suppressed, Li Ruhui followed Lao Tian's instructions, stopped for ten minutes and dialed again, this time not only was it suppressed, but also directly turned off the mobile phone; She held her mobile phone and looked at Lao Tian helplessly.
The two policemen who went upstairs first soon came downstairs, followed by a colleague.

The rain is getting lighter. On the road in the early morning of the city, there were few vehicles, and Kong Yuan took Professor Li along the Wohu Mountain Expressway to the north.
On the way, Professor Li yelled after reading Hong Xitai's letter; He learned from the letter that Hong Seok-tae's father was really the little officer who saved his grandfather! It turned out that Hong Xitai's father was forcibly conscripted into the army from Taiwan and became a Taiwanese soldier, and then he was left in Shanxi with the formation of the army and participated in the Yan army's position of guarding the Shuangta Temple, which led to the scene of Yongzuo Temple back then.
He immediately thought of the sketch drawn by Hong Seok-tae's father. He remembered that his grandfather had said that the old monk shouted, 'Just rely on the treasure map in the temple', which was the answer to Hong Xitai's father's question, "How do you know that there is a treasure here", so it is very likely that the picture was a treasure map that his father studied according to the old monk's instructions! All this could have been asked from Hong Xitai's mouth!
He took the two strips of cloth out of his pocket, and looked at them, feeling more and more depressed; He felt that the secret of the hidden treasure might never be known again, and it was he who had ruined what he had been looking for for years, and what he had lost was about to come!
Professor Li thought of Hong Xitai, a huge chill hit, although it was not Hong Xitai who he killed directly, but he instructed Kong Yuan to kidnap Hong Xitai, so he has an inseparable connection with Hong Xitai's death!
At this time, Zong Zhenlei's mobile phone in his trouser pocket rang, Professor Li took it out, pressed it off irritably, and turned it off.
Zong Zhenlei's mobile phone made Professor Li think of the research of the topic, and he was unwilling to give up.
He came to his senses. He originally wanted to control the overall situation, but the evolution of things has made him actually under the control of this woman now! His hatred of the void swelled rapidly in his heart.
He decided he couldn't go any further with this woman.
He quickly came up with a reason to extricate himself, he could tell the police that he was blackmailed by Kongyuan, and there was no evidence against him in Kongyuan's hands anyway.
"Stop!" Startled by Professor Li's sudden shout, she turned her head to glance at him, ignoring him.
At this time, Professor Li seemed to be a different person, seeing that the car had not stopped, he didn't say more, pulled the car door hard, and saw that the car door was locked, so he immediately opened the window and wanted to jump out of the car; The empty edge couldn't stop it, so she had to brake sharply and park the car on the side of the road, she knew that once the professor forcibly jumped out of the car, the relationship between the two would be completely broken.
Just as Professor Li pushed the car door, Kongyuan's voice sounded calmly: "You should think about that Buddha treasure again!" ”
Professor Li was shocked when he heard this, and after hesitating, one foot went to the ground outside the car, and the other foot was still on the car, and the two strips of cloth slipped from his body to the floor of the car without bothering to pick them up.
Kong Yuan said again: "The secret of the Buddha treasure has not yet been announced to the world, and you still hold the priceless treasure!" ”
Professor Li turned his head and asked, "You learned the secret of the treasure from Tongyun?" Before he could finish speaking, a towel rushed to his face.
This is another time that Kongyuan has used ecstasy, she doesn't want to dwell with Professor Li here, and is going to take him to safety first and then plan slowly; She thought to herself, as long as there are people, the treasure hunt will not be able to run, even if the information is sold, there will be money; With money and a sweetheart, the world can be left to wander in the future.
