Chapter 63: Quest – Hidden Traces
The alarm bell sounded in the block downstairs, causing everyone to hurriedly dispose of the traces they had left behind, leaving behind the three corpses and leaving.
In New York's Chinatown, late at night, three men walked side by side on the block, and the man in the middle was carrying a woman with a good figure on his back.
Zou Xia had Duan Di's address in his hand, and handed Jenny to Du Men, asking him and Dennis to take Jenny back to the hotel first.
He went to Duan Di's door alone, but he was empty.
When it was dark, Zou Xia dragged his tired body back to the hotel, and the address that Duan Di had left him earlier was fake.
No, it can't be said to be completely false.
The address existed, an ordinary share house with two couples living in the room.
After interrogation, Zou Xia learned from them that they didn't know Duan Di, but two days ago, a strange man suddenly visited and said that he wanted to live here temporarily.
The couple wanted to send him away when the room was full.
But he said that he could sleep in the living room, and he would not restrict anyone's use of the living room, paying $5,000 in advance as rent, and only staying for three days......
Hearing this, Zou Xia's heart was already half cold, and he wanted to continue to ask Duan Di's whereabouts, but the couple told him that Duan Di had not returned here since last night.
It is already obvious that Duan Di's appearance is not accidental, but with some kind of purpose.
On the way back to the hotel from the rental house, Zou Xia has been thinking about two questions.
He and Duan Di met in Los Angeles half a year ago.
Could it be that since then, Duan Di has become a pawn by his side?
Duan Di's purpose was to get himself back into the building.
But what was his motive?
Finally, when he walked to the hotel, Zou Xia finally got the answer.
Duan Di should not be a chess piece specially prepared for this commission, after all, this commission is too weird, and it should be impossible for anyone to predict it half a year in advance.
His role should be to move dark chess.
He has been hiding around him, until Duan Di or the people behind him think that in the current task, he can ensure that he can pit himself to death, and his secret chess move will be activated.
It doesn't really matter what the mission is, it's just that everyone knows the danger of this commission right now.
That's why he happened to run into this mission.
The purpose is to lead yourself into that building until you die in that building......
According to the investigation, the people who came out of that building died of various diseases, and it was just a matter of whether they were sick or sooner.
So they can be sure that if they leave that building, something will definitely go wrong with themselves or Jenny.
Once something goes wrong, I will try my best to find a solution, and if I can't find it outside, I will go back to that building, so I have everything that happened next......
Back at the hotel, Zou Xia immediately asked Dennis to re-check Duan Di's background.
The results, however, are a bit surprising.
Duan Di is like evaporating from the world, he can't find any identity records, and even his wife and son, who could have been found, can't find any traces now.
Du Men looked at the information in front of him, a little distracted, and was stunned for a long time before muttering: "How is this so similar to our temporary identity forged for convenience during the mission?" The mission is over, and the forgeries are all gone! ”
Dennis was also a little confused, "Grandma, we've been spies for so long, we're being spies and counter-espionage?" ”
Zou Xia's face was serious, he paced around the room, and suddenly said, "I met Duan Di half a year ago......"
"On that day, we received a business commission, and the client's deceased wife deposited a gemstone in the Bank of M, and the client wanted us to take it out secretly."
"I arrived at the Bank of Country M that day, and when I was about to infiltrate, I ran into a group of bank robbers, who took Duan Di hostage and were about to run away with their things."
"I saw that in addition to a large amount of cash, there were also gems from the client, so I had to stop them, and at the same time I had to get the gems before the police arrived, and the alarm bell was already ringing at the door, so I had to quickly subdue the robbers and run away with the gems......"
"That's how Duan Di and I met!"
Zou Xia looked at Dennis, "Check the background of the client that time!" ”
"You suspect there's something wrong with that commission?" After all, they are long-term partners, and Dennis quickly kept up with Zou Xia's thinking.
Zou Xia nodded: "There is only this possibility, since Duan Di is a chess piece, he must find a suitable opportunity to appear in front of me, and that bank robbery is very suitable!" ”
Only a spy understands the mind of a spy.
Dennis once again kept up with Zou Xia's rhythm and followed Zou Xia's statement to investigate:
Duan Di, bank robber, client......
When these keywords are combined, no matter how perfectly hidden they are, they will inevitably miss any clues.
It's just that the amount of clues is very large, and there are a lot of things that need to be investigated, and it is not a job that can be completed in an hour or two.
After dawn, Zou Xia went downstairs to buy breakfast for everyone, and during the day, Dennis was in the room to investigate Duan Di and the forces behind him.
Dumen followed him and continued on the street, looking for a cure for Jenny.
The goddess ran four or five places back and forth.
But it's almost all about pretending.
One of them did have some foundation, but after seeing Jenny, he immediately drove people out.
Zou Xia guessed that this old lady should have something similar to yin and yang eyes, and she could see what was wrapped around Jenny's body, and knew that she couldn't afford to mess with that thing.
Fortunately, they still saw a glimmer of hope.
When I walked out of this street, when I was in the last shrine shop, there was a 'Buddha Yuan Shop' next to it, and the shop sold all kinds of Buddha statues and incense sticks.
The owner is a very kind old lady.
She called Zou Xia into the store alone.
"This is what the old lady surnamed Yang asked me to give you!"
The old lady took out an envelope from under the largest Buddha statue in the store and handed it to Zou Xia.
In the envelope, there was a piece of stationery, and the letter paper was densely written with small characters, and the person who wrote the letter seemed to be very flustered, and the handwriting on the letter paper was very sloppy, and it was impossible to read it if he didn't read it carefully.
Zou Xia didn't know any old lady surnamed Yang.
But he vaguely knew that the old lady was talking about the dead goddess on the white shop, but he was a little curious.
"When did she give you something?"
"The day before yesterday!"
"After you left, she wrote this letter immediately, knocked on my door in the middle of the night, and let me tell you that there is a way in this letter to save your friend, and if you open it, it means that she is dead, dead in the hands of that thing!"
"And how did you recognize me?"
"I go out of the same school as the old lady surnamed Yang, although my attainments are not as strong as hers, but I am still a little capable, and I can see things that normal people can't see......"
"You may look like a human, but in my eyes...... That's not what I'm supposed to say, go back, take the letter with you! ”
From the old lady's point of view, a broken, wet humanoid skeleton fades away.
The bones, in addition to rotting flesh, were covered with ominous black smoke.
In the black smoke, a pair of slender arms stretched out that did not look like a human, and there were only white bones on the arms, without any flesh and blood.
When she wanted to tell Zou Xia's appearance, the pair of white bone arms had quietly rested on her neck.
As long as she opened her mouth, she spit out half a more note.
Those white arms will strangle themselves without hesitation!
The old lady was convinced of this!
