Chapter 83: The Night Is Slightly Cold, and the Corpse Is Slightly Cold!

The leader of the bandits, that is, Zhu Tourong, had no idea that his little brother had been secretly killed.

He didn't know that he still underestimated Xu Jiajia.

Although he was already surprised by Xu Jiajia's courage and skills, Zhu Tourong still didn't expect that Xu Jiajia actually hid a blade on his body.

Of course, no normal person would have thought of it.

After all, Xu Jiajia's appearance is too deceptive, and no one expected that she would have such tricks with her beautiful appearance.

In addition, there is a key reason.

Hiding a blade in your sleeve in case you need it is something that only some people walk in the dark do.

This is incompatible with Xu Jiajia's military family background.

Therefore, Zhu Tourong had no worries about Xu Jiajia's possible escape from the predicament at all, he walked to a stone house, directly pushed open the thick cloth curtain of the stone house, and quickly flashed in.

In the middle of the room is a gas lamp, an old-fashioned gas lamp that can be inflated and pressurized, spraying fuel, that is, kerosene, under pressure, and then igniting on the head of the lamp soaked in thorium sulfate solution, emitting extremely bright light and high temperatures.

This is also the wisdom of the tomb robbers, the air in the tombs is not circulated, the oxygen content is very low, in addition to being filled with all kinds of combustible gases, and there are also mechanisms in some ancient tombs.

Conventional flashlights are not bright enough, and because they use batteries as electricity, they don't need oxygen, which often causes tomb robbers to suffocate due to lack of oxygen without realizing it.

In addition, the tomb is extremely cold, and it is easy to lose temperature. Conventional baking may ignite the combustible gases in the tomb and cause an explosion.

Therefore, gas lamps are the most suitable tool for oxygen concentration detection, highlighting, heating, and explosion protection.

At this time, there are two people warming up next to the gas lamp, and the mountain is still a little cold at this time, and the weather is not good today, resulting in cold winds, even if the windows of the stone houses are covered with thick blankets, etc., it is still a little unbearable.

After all, these thick blankets are only used to block the light, and the warmth function of the stone house is not very good, although the light cannot bend through the cracks in the stone, the wind can.

Pig Head Rong also sat down next to the gas lamp and casually plucked a maple leaf from his shoulder.

The mountain is called Maple Ridge, and as the name suggests, there are many maple trees on the mountain.

At this time, it is not yet the season when the maple leaves turn red, and the maple leaves are falling like rain under the mountain wind.

Crushed the maple leaf directly, patted the crumbs on his hand, and before Zhu Tourong could speak, a strange voice sounded first.

"Why don't you just kill that chick?"

It was a tall man who had wrapped himself up like a bear, and his dark skin stood out in the stone house.

This is exactly one of the two mercenaries that Pig Head Rong cooperates with, and he has a very famous name, Hancock.

However, Pig Head Rong prefers to call him by his code name, Black Wolf. Because the foreign name Hancock is a bit awkward for Pig Head Rong.

"Why kill her?" Pig Head Rong asked rhetorically.

"She's that Xu Kui's daughter." There was a hint of hatred on the black wolf's face.

"Idiot." Pig Head Rong glanced at the black wolf with disdain.

The two mercenaries are also superiors and subordinates, among which the black wolf is the younger brother, and of course Zhu Tourong will not take the black wolf in his eyes. He even sighed in his heart.

Is it true that skin color determines IQ?

"What did you say!" The black wolf jumped furiously.

"If you dare to howl half a word in your throat, Lao Tzu will immediately dig a pit and bury you, so that you can feel Lao Tzu's ancestral craftsmanship." Pig Head Rong glanced at the black wolf coldly, if Charles was here, he would still be afraid, but he was naturally not afraid of the black wolf alone.

"You ......" The black wolf's black face turned white, he pointed at Zhu Tourong, but it was a pity that his language talent limited his play, and you didn't have a follow-up for a long time.

"Alright," a man as thin as a bamboo pole beside him played a round game, "the boss is right, we are digging for treasures, and we are not those idiots who fight and kill every day." ”

While taking advantage of the fact that the black wolf couldn't understand it, he pulled the black wolf back to sit down with a comforting face.

Too lazy to care about the sulking black wolf, he leaned over to Pig Head Rong: "Boss, do you think the anchor will come?" ”

"What time is it?" Pig Head Rong didn't bother to care about the black wolf, if it weren't for the white-skinned mercenary who was worried that he would swallow the gold leaf of the Warring States Dynasty privately, and asked Pig Head Rong to bring the black wolf by his side, he would have kicked this fool down the mountain eighty years earlier.

"It's past five past ten." The thin bamboo pole is the one who participated in the kidnapping of Xu Jiajia before, but was almost blown up, his nickname is Thin Monkey, and he is really like his name.

"Is there any news from the Jianshe West Road subway station?" Pig Head Rong asked with a frown.

Before this operation, his manpower was divided into two waves. Four of the five younger brothers were taken by him to Maple Ridge to kidnap Xu Jiajia, plus a black wolf.

The remaining younger brother was responsible for staying with the white-skinned mercenary, and was responsible for keeping an eye on that Su Yun at the Jianshe West Road subway station.

The main thing is to see if the other party will call the police or something.

"The big dog has already arrived at the entrance of the Jianshe West Road subway station, but he didn't find the kid's figure." The skinny monkey replied that the brother who was stalking on the west road of construction was nicknamed Big Dog.

Pig Head Rong showed a hint of surprise on his face, and he commanded, "What about that chick's phone?" Call the anchor and ask where he is. ”

The thin monkey took out Xu Jiajia's mobile phone from his pocket, quickly put the electric board on, and began to turn on the dial.

As he pressed the speakerphone, a prompt sounded: "The number you dialed is off, please dial again later!" ”

The thin monkey was stunned suddenly, and he subconsciously looked at Pig Tourong, and Pig Tourong was also a little confused at this time.

Although this wave of operations was relatively rushed in time, the plan formulated was complete.

And Su Yun's reaction was not unexpected. After learning that Xu Jiajia was kidnapped, the concern he showed made Zhu Tourong believe that he had tied up the right person.

And although Zhu Tourong extorted a ransom, that ransom was actually just a smoke bomb.

The same goes for the Jianshe West Road subway station.

There are five or six similar locations in which Zhu Tou Rong has been prepared, and each one has been carefully selected by Pig Head Rong.

The purpose is to mislead the police.

After all, in the eyes of Zhu Tourong, the police are actually the biggest threat.

He had already decided that if he got the Warring States Gold Leaf tonight, he would immediately wash his hands and fly away.

Then it is obviously very necessary to mislead the police in the wrong direction and place and distract the attention and manpower of the police while getting the Warring States Gold Leaf.

Unexpectedly, his carefully formulated plan had just reached the first step, and he couldn't play anymore!

The other party actually turned off the mobile phone directly!

What's going on?

That kid, are you cowardly?

Pig Head Rong only felt a faint pain in his balls.

He has seen a lot of coercion, but it is the first time that he has been coerced to this extent.

It's just that you are asked to take the ransom to build the West Road subway station, even if you haven't been there, just by listening to the name, you will know that it must be a commercial area with a relatively dense flow of people.

Of all the cities in the country, one is counted as one, as long as the name is this kind of construction road, Jiefang Road, which is not one of the most prosperous areas of the city?

So many people, you just pay a ransom, what are you afraid of?

Moreover, your girlfriend was kidnapped, and you turned it off directly?

It's like a flower!

Just leave it to our vicious kidnappers?

What if you call the police?

To be honest, Zhu Tourong was really willing for him to call the police at this time.

However, it is obvious that the anchor named Su Yun must not have reported it.

The reason is simple, if he called the police, the phone must have been in the hands of the police. The police will never turn off their mobile phones, they will definitely be ready to listen and locate the device, and wait for themselves to call again.

It's a pity that I have even figured out how many seconds to control the talk time!

Zhu Tourong really wanted to go directly to the door at this time, pointing at the anchor named Su Yun and scolding him.

Are you still not a man?

"Boss, could it be that your 200,000 scared him?" The thin monkey was also a little confused at this time.

It was really a wave of operations to turn off the mobile phone that exceeded his expectations.

"Possibly." Pig Head Rong nodded.

In order to make his kidnapper look professional, Zhu Tourong offered a ransom price of 200,000 yuan.

To be reasonable, this price is really not high, after all, there is naturally a market for the tied ticket, and if the price is low, others will make you joke.

And from his point of view, this Su Yun doesn't look like he can't get out of 200,000, the size is also an anchor, I heard that the popularity is not bad, and the fans are quite generous with rewards.

Even if you really can't take it out, with the anchor's vast travel, you can borrow it.

Even if you can't borrow it, it's good to discuss it with yourself!

Who says kidnappers must be unreasonable?

Moreover, Zhu Tourong originally planned to reason with Su Yun.

He prepared six or seven locations, the first location only needed Su Yun to prepare 200,000, and the second location would become 300,000.

Using this method of boiling frogs in warm water, he would wear down Su Yun's sharp energy while raising the ransom to a level that Su Yun would definitely not be able to bear.

At that time, he was not afraid that Su Yun would not hand over the Warring States Gold Leaf, and he didn't even need to mention it.

If the Warring States Gold Leaf is really in Su Yun's place.

If the Warring States Gold Leaf is not there, Pig Head Rong will not lose anyway.

However, the idea is plump and the reality is skinny.

He originally planned to release Su Yun a few waves of pigeons, but he never expected that he, as a kidnapper, would actually be released by the hostage's family!

"Of course, it is also possible that it was this Su Yun who guessed our identity." He touched his chin and spoke.

It is relatively rare for a man to be coaxed to this extent, after all, it is just a ransom, at most it is only a loss of money, and there will be no danger to his life, no matter how bad it is, he can call the police.

Then a more reasonable explanation is that Su Yun already knew that his group was the group of tomb robbers, and a brother had already died at his hands!

This shows that the Warring States Gold Leaf is indeed in Su Yun's hands!

That's why he didn't show up, but he didn't call the police. Because if the Warring States Gold Leaf is in his hands, if the police know about it, he may also be sentenced for illegal possession!

"Boss, what are we going to do if he doesn't come?" The skinny monkey spoke blankly.

"Cold salad!" Pig Head Rong replied hatefully.

There is no good way for him to coerce him to this extent.

"Anyway, let's hold that chick in our hands first, even if we can't force this Su Yun to appear, we can use it as a hostage at a critical moment. Lao Tzu's eyelids have been jumping for the past two days, and I feel that there is something big on the police's side! ”

Pig Head Rong rubbed his eyes fiercely and looked at the thin monkey: "Go outside and bring in the bobcat, he has been blowing the wind in the middle of the night in the trees." ”

"My balls aren't good yet, that girl is too ruthless today......" The thin monkey twisted a little.

"Hurry up and give it to Lao Tzu! Fuck you, you're a piece of shit, I'm embarrassed to say it! As soon as he said this, Pig Head Rong felt that his balls were not good, and he glared at the thin monkey fiercely.

The thin monkey went in a daze, watching his back disappear behind the heavy curtain, and the strange voice of the black wolf monster sounded: "Sounds like your plan is bankrupt?" ”

Pig Head Rong glanced at the black wolf, he had been looking at this black skin unpleasantly, and one of the key reasons was that this black skin was very much like a mockery no matter what he said due to his accent.

Of course, both sides are not good birds, but they are both hired by a foreign bigwig, and they are forced to get together for the sake of profit, even if the other party speaks well, they will not be very close.

"Not necessarily." Zhu Tourong said coldly, "It's also possible that he was just delaying time because of raising money, and he was rushing to the Jianshe West Road subway station, ignoring whether his mobile phone had any power." ”

"Will he kill us directly?" The black wolf's face was slightly gloomy, and his vigilance as a mercenary made him can't help but guess, "If he is really the master of the knife, this kind of thing is very likely." ”

"The question is, how does he know where we are?" Pig Head Rong sneered, "We were very clean when we started, and there was no trace left to trace. And now this foothold is also very secret, many local old people only know a general direction, do not know the specific location. ”

"The most important thing," he showed a confident look on his face, "Don't look at Lao Tzu's gang of brothers who are crooked and cracked, and they can't be on the stage, it's true that they are not as good as your mercenaries in actual combat, but they all have the ability to take care of their families." ”

"For example, the lynx who is now on guard, once worked as a drug lord in Southeast Asia, not to mention it, and learned the skills of jungle reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance from the guerrillas over there, and never made a mistake when looking at the wind for us!"

"Really?" The black wolf was slightly surprised, the drug lord Ma Tsai was actually of the same nature as a mercenary, and he really didn't know that there were his own peers here.

"Of course." Pig Head Rong glanced at the black wolf, "You should have heard of the prestige of the police here, unlike your country is full of rubbish." Lao Tzu tells you that the reason why our small team can lead the police by the nose is because of professionalism! ”

"Professional, do you understand? Professionalism is ......" Pig Head Rong was about to throw out some dry goods, to shock this who had always looked down on his little brother, and at the same time wash the ground for his own judgment mistakes, but at this moment, the door curtain was suddenly opened, and he saw the thin monkey break in with a pale face.

"Boss," he said as if he'd seen it, "the lynx is dead!" ”

Zhu Tourong's words were directly choked in his throat, and he almost choked himself to death.

Just stood up for his brother and was slapped in the face?

He looked at the thin monkey dumbfounded, and before he could swallow the saliva that was blocked in his throat, the black wolf's voice had already sounded first.

"How did you die?" His voice was still the same grotesque, and it sounded like a mockery all the time.

"I didn't know, but as soon as I went over, I saw him lying on the ground, and I thought he was secretly sleeping. I thought to myself, how can this kid sleep and sleep on his stomach, could it be that this is also a technique learned from the guerrillas? Sleeping on your stomach in the woods and not blowing the wind? ”

The thin monkey looked frightened, after all, his brother died suddenly and inexplicably, which was inevitably terrifying.

He swallowed his saliva and continued to speak incoherently: "As a result, I patted him only to find that he was already hard and dead!" ”

"Be quiet!" Pig Head Rong finally straightened out his breathing, and he glared at the thin monkey fiercely, "Take Lao Tzu to have a look!" ”

He followed the thin monkey out of the stone house, and the black wolf behind him followed with an unclear look on his face.

The tree where the lynx sentry was stationed was at the only entrance to the bandit camp, not very far from the stone house where Pig Head Rong was, only about thirty or forty meters.

In less than a minute, Pig Head Rong and the others had already rushed to the bottom of the tree, and several meters away, they saw the lynx lying there, in a strange posture, as if they wanted to wear the earth every day.

Pig Head Rong casually touched the bobcat's corpse, and his hand was cold and slightly stiff.

This is also normal, the temperature in the mountains is too low, coupled with the pervasive mountain wind, the body surface hypothermia is very fast.

However, Pig Head Rong can still be sure that the death of the lynx is not long, after all, he has been on patrol not long ago.

He frowned and looked at the tree beside him, trying to spot some traces from it.

This is a maple tree, and the lynx used to hide in this tree as a secret whistle, and Pig Head Rong also praised him for his professionalism.

The black wolf, on the other hand, squatted down directly and touched around on the bobcat's corpse without hesitation. He is a mercenary, and he is obviously very professional in this kind of examination of corpses.

Pig's head Rong looked at it for a minute, and then turned back stupidly. He did not find any unusual traces on the tree.

"How?" He looked at the black wolf.

The latter also stood up at this point, apparently having finished examining the body.

"There was no light and I couldn't see the details clearly. However, I found no external fatal wounds on him, and no bloodstains. In the darkness, only the black wolf's teeth could be seen flashing white, "but his neck was broken, and there were signs of bleeding from his mouth and nose." ”

"In addition, his eyes were red, his face was blue, and his tongue was sticking out, which is typical of death by suffocation."

"What do you mean?" Pig Head Rong was a little dazed.

Suffocation to death?

"Meaning, his neck was fractured by an external force, and his trachea was damaged by the external force, or the trachea was punctured by the broken bone fragment, causing him to bleed from the mouth and nose, and eventually suffocated."

The black wolf spread his hands and continued: "Judging from the traces of struggle on the ground, it can also prove this. ”

"Boss, do you think it will be the knife master who came to the door? Since he is a master, is it possible that he has martial arts, such as pinching off the neck of a bobcat with an eagle claw or something? The thin monkey whispered uneasily.

"Hawk, your fucking claw skills!" If it weren't for the fear of being heard by outsiders, Zhu Tourong really wanted to slap him over, "Let's not talk about whether there is this so-called martial arts, the bobcat is in the tree, what bullshit master can climb the tree without even having time to issue the alarm, and pinch his neck!" ”

The thin monkey thought about it, and said mysteriously: "Either it, or he hit it, and the old people say that this mountain has a bad spirit!" And those who do what we do, the yin qi is too heavy! ”

Pig Head Rong didn't bother to pay attention to him and looked at the black wolf.

"I don't think he died of any kind of claw work." The black wolf's large white teeth hung in the night sky, and judging by the number of teeth on display, he was clearly smiling.

"To be honest, I've always thought that these things don't exist in reality at all, whether it's Eagle Claw Gong, or Qigong, or even the weird so-called kung fu you boast about."

He continued: "It's just a joke. ”

"And how do you think he died?" Pig Head Rong didn't bother to argue with him about whether Kung Fu was really so stupid.

"The answer is simple," the black wolf spread his hands again, "he did not stand firm, fell from the tree, unfortunately broke his neck, and died. ”

Pig Head Rong spat out a mouthful of old blood.

As his name suggests, the Bobcat is very agile and his home turf is the mountains. In addition, the set of mountain tracking and anti-tracking he learned from the guerrillas, and even various concealment techniques used to rob tombs, are really professional and very appropriate, so Pig Head Rong has always valued the lynx.

No sooner had he been in the tent than he was bragging to the wolf about how professional the lynx was.

As a result, the lynx turned around, and the lynx died!

Moreover, he still didn't stand firm in the tree and broke his neck, resulting in suffocation!

Pig Head Rong only felt that his face was being beaten by the bobcat's corpse at this time, although this answer was a little unacceptable to him, but he himself had to admit that this was the most likely.

Because not everyone can climb trees, especially maple trees, which don't have so many low branches, it's very difficult to borrow.

In addition, climbing a tree inevitably produces vibrations, and unless the lynx is already dead when he is in the tree, even if he is dozing, the vibrations caused by climbing will wake him up.

Moreover, even if Su Yun was the master of using the knife, Zhu Tourong didn't believe that the other party could accurately touch his position so quickly.

Unless he opens his eyes to heaven!

Resisting the urge to knock out all the big white fangs suspended in the night with a punch, Pig Head Rong looked at the corpse of the bobcat and snorted.

"Skinny monkey, you call Gangzi together and bury the bobcat." At this time, he was full of bird fire and had nowhere to vent, and at the same time there was a faint sadness.

"Bury it well," he commanded, "and when you're done, you and Gangzi will finish the rest of the night's outposts." ”

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." After a pause, he continued.

For that piece of Warring States gold leaf, he has already lost two younger brothers.

Although everyone is a selfish person, and they only get together because of their interests, there is no such extravagant thing as brotherhood, but seeing the corpse of the bobcat still makes Pig Tourong feel a kind of sad sigh for the dead rabbit and fox.

Although the tomb robbers attack other people's tombs every day, in order to obtain antiques to accompany the burial, they cut the coffin and dismantle the bones, and they have no scruples.

But what they fear most is their own retribution, the wilderness of corpses.

This kind of psychology does not usually come to mind, but at this moment, when he saw the corpse of his companion for the first time, Zhu Tourong suddenly gave birth to a faint fear!

In front of me, in the familiar mountains and forests, the familiar night......

Suddenly it eats like an unknown monster!
