Chapter 164: The Seven Sins Sect - The Gate of Hell (5)
When the water in the glass sink has completely withdrawn, the trap door at the bottom of the sink closes, and the top of the cylindrical glass tank begins to flow into a viscous white liquid. Cheng Mo knew that this was high-temperature resistant gypsum, and this time the valve was opened very widely, and the mud-like liquid gypsum quickly filled the entire glass sink. During the pouring of the liquid gypsum, Cheng Mo could see a slight vibration of the gypsum liquid in the glass sink, which was to make the gypsum liquid better mixed through vibration to empty the air between the gypsum liquid. In fact, because the sink is the water that is emptied first and then poured with gypsum liquid, there is not much air in the sink, and such a simple shock is enough for the plaster to fit perfectly on Han Jiji, who has almost frozen into ice.
Undoubtedly, the next step is to wait for the plaster to cure.......
Han Jiji died completely.
In a tragic way.
Cheng Mo was a little regretful, but he didn't have much grief to describe in his heart, for him, Han Jiji's death was far less impactful than the death of the Evans couple on the train, after all, he and Han Jiji had almost no intersection. Cheng Mo didn't turn off the live webpage either, he was wondering if the other party would immediately cut to the next live broadcast of Chen's death, but the other party didn't do it, the TV next to the cylindrical sink was still playing the news, and Han Jiji in the glass sink was eternally frozen at a certain point in his life.
The slums without lights are not silent, all kinds of small sounds echo in Cheng Mo's ears, and someone has lit garbage not far away, and the smell of burning plastic is blowing in his face, but the unpleasant smell of toluene in the slums makes people feel a little fresh.
Cheng Mo leaned against the wall, sitting by the wall, there were refugees sleeping on his left and right, Bai Xiuxiu didn't reply to his message, Cheng Mo turned his phone to the darkest, and paid attention to the situation on the other side of the video while paying attention to the Hydra headquarters.
When it was almost nine o'clock, Taijilong's people finally arrived, and Cheng Mo saw on the live broadcast page that Li Hongzheng was the first to enter, he broke into the door, and immediately saw the glass sink filled with plaster in front of him. At this moment, the camera turned to Li Hongzheng's direction and zoomed in to give a close-up.
Obviously, the other party was also waiting for the arrival of the Taiji Dragon's people.
Cheng Mo saw Li Hongzheng clenching his fists and closed his eyes, then he turned his head to look at the camera, and Li Hongzheng, who was pale, raised his hand and a red light shot at the camera, and suddenly the screen went dark.
But the live broadcast state of the black screen only lasted for a moment, and soon a new picture jumped out, this time no longer a dark room, but a huge closed and tight space, this space like a factory was illuminated by spotlights all over the roof. The floor of the entire factory is orderly with countless colorful toys. There are cars and race tracks, small trains and tracks, cranes and containers, remote control boats and a large bathtub with little yellow ducks floating in the bath...... And in the middle of the various toys are rows of countless colorful dominoes.......
It was clear that it was a huge toy domino circle, and it started at a large scale at the entrance, with a Transformers Optimus Prime almost half a man tall at one end of the scale, and a plastic cylinder at the other end of the scale, and a stained glass marble just fell from the top of the cylinder. It turned out that above it was a glass marble hourglass.
After dropping a glass marble, the red number 2880 in the row on the glass marble hourglass decreased by 1 to 2879......
At the end of the toy domino is Super Mario, with an electric switch above its head, and an entire wall next to the switch is a skull connected by colored lights, and the line above the skull disappears behind the spotlight.....
And in the center of the ceiling, where countless spotlights are installed, a metal conduit hangs a metal box......
The metal box is like a microwave oven, facing the camera and inlaid with a piece of glass that looks like a window, through the glass, Cheng Mo can see that it is none other than Chen Fang who is standing inside.
Chen Fang in the metal box was sweaty and gloomy, but his state was much better than that of Han Jiji, who died just now, and he did not fall into complete hysteria. At this time, he was standing at the window of the metal box, looking at the glass marble hourglass at the entrance.
At this time, another glass marble fell from the top half of the glass hourglass to the bottom half, and then rolled along the bottom end into a curved catheter on one side, and the yellow glass marble quickly fell down in the catheter, and after exactly another minute of time, it fell into the plastic bucket on the scale, so the number reflected on the glass hourglass became 2878.
"One in a minute..... That's forty-eight hours, and now there are still forty-seven hours and fifty-eight minutes......" Cheng Mo whispered to himself as he exited the live webpage. Cheng Mo glanced at WeChat, Bai Xiuxiu didn't reply to his message, he wanted to ask Bai Xiuxiu where Han Junji's death was, to see if his judgment was right, hesitated, and still didn't send a message to disturb Bai Xiuxiu.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Mo stood up from the wall, and the room not far away was glowing with faint candlelight, and he looked up at the skyscraper in front of him, thinking that whether he guessed right or not, it was best to go to the scene to see. Anyway, there was no way for him to enter the headquarters of Hydra right now, so Cheng Mo got up and staggered towards the way out of the slum like a bum......
——————————————————————————
Bai Xiuxiu did not reply to Chengmo's WeChat not because of anything else, but because she was being criticized. She had just gone to the Pellistri iron foundry with a number of people, but before she could search the foundry, she received information that the deck truck had been found in a plaster factory. Bai Xiuxiu immediately rushed to the gypsum factory with people.
When they arrived at the gypsum factory, all the ordinary members gathered in a team and launched a search with the gypsum factory as the center, and almost all the high-level executives of Taijilong were in the factory where the tragedy happened just now. Bai Xiuxiu arranged for his subordinates to cooperate with the search, and hurried to the factory, a group of high-level Taiji Dragons watched expressionlessly as the two people carefully knocked off the solidified plaster, in order not to damage Han Jiji's body, their movements were very light, but the solemn expression made the movements look extremely dignified.
When Bai Xiuxiu walked in, everyone looked back at her.
Xie Guangling, who was smoking, also glanced at Bai Xiuxiu, then spat out a big puff of smoke and said coldly: "Iron Foundry?
Chen Shaohua on the side also complained dissatisfiedly: "Captain Bai..... You really trust that stinky ..... too much" Thinking of Cheng Mo or Xie Minyun's boyfriend, Chen Shaohua immediately swallowed the word "boy" back, and changed his words: "...... That Cheng is silent, there is no way to infer the other party's behavior, why does he tell you that it is an iron foundry?"
Bai Xiuxiu approached slightly, she looked at the gypsum block in the center of the room, and said lightly: "I haven't asked him how he came to the conclusion, but who of us can guarantee that his inference is 100% accurate? At least he reasoned with his heart, and he dared to say the results of his reasoning..... As leaders, we really don't need to blame him for that. ”
"It's not to blame him..... I just don't think he's inexperienced enough to let him join the tracking team..... No matter whose boyfriend he is or what kind of relationship he has, you shouldn't indulge him...... He has achieved some credit in the past, but it may be just a coincidence, and it doesn't say much..... Originally, we were short of manpower, white team, what kind of hydra do you have to track down for him....." For the sake of his younger brother, Chen Shaohua, who was already anxious, didn't care about offending people, and criticized with a hint of resentment.
Hearing Xie Guangling's complaints, Xie Guangling stood still, staring at the plaster block and swallowing the clouds.
Bai Xiuxiu said calmly: "We have found out that the hydra is related to the Black Death...... So Hydra is fully capable of doing that. ”
Hearing the name of "Black Death", the Taijilong executives standing around looked at Bai Xiuxiu in surprise, while Chen Shaohua looked at Bai Xiuxiu and opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't say it, and in an instant his face became even heavier, and he also took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit them silently.
Xie Guangling frowned, turned his head to look at Bai Xiuxiu and said, "Since the 'Hydra' is related to the 'Black Death', it is even more unlikely that this matter was done by the Hydra..... This is not the 'Black Death' style of acting, they have always been as low-key as they can, wishing that no one knew the name of the Black Death, and they never took the initiative to offend any of the Chosen Ones, how could they do such an outrageous thing?"
Bai Xiuxiu nodded and said: "The style is really different, but if you can make such a big battle in Athens, and you are not afraid of offending our Taiji Dragon, there is only the Black Death......, right?"
"Anyway, you have already issued a military order in this matter, and I will not interfere, but Captain Bai, I hope you will act cautiously and not rashly offend the Black Death without any evidence, our Taiji Dragon does not want to, and cannot become the enemy of the Black Death, you have to pay attention to this. After speaking, Xie Guangling threw the cigarette butt to the ground, but before the cigarette butt could fall to the floor, it burned in the air without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Bai Xiuxiu responded seriously: "Yes." ”
Xie Guangling said to Li Hongzheng, who was standing a little in front: "Captain Li, take Han Jieji's body well..... Then put down the burden of thought, and cooperated with the Greek military to search for Chen Fang's location with all his might, this time for forty-eight hours, and no more dead people. ”
"Yes!" Li Hongzheng replied loudly, and then he stood up and saluted Xie Guangling.
Then Xie Guangling said to Bai Xiuxiu with a cold face: "Captain Li still found Han Jiji, although the time was a little late, but in twenty-four hours, you only found out that the Hydra was related to the Black Death, and also misreported the news of an iron foundry..... It's hard to account for that..... I'll give you another forty-eight hours..... If there is no unspoken discovery of the past in forty-eight hours, I may not be able to wait until the end of this operation to terminate you. ”
The surrounding group of high-level officials of the Kanglong Group were a little surprised, although Xie Guangling had clear rewards and punishments, but Bai Xiuxiu was an exception, and the others had no opinions, after all, Gao Xu sacrificed his life for the country and took good care of his widow, which was the right thing to do. It can be said that Xie Guangling has been fierce to everyone, but he has never said such heavy words to Bai Xiuxiu, it seems that this time Xie Guangling is really dissatisfied with Bai Xiuxiu.
Bai Xiuxiu stood up and saluted, and calmly replied "yes".
Xie Guangling turned his head and left, glanced back when he was about to step out of the door, and said in a deep voice: "Time waits for no one..... If you can't save Chen Fang this time, you can join me in asking for punishment....."
—————————————————————
Cheng Mo got out of the slum and wanted to take a taxi to Pellistri after making sure that no one was following him, but no taxi was willing to take him, Cheng Mo was very helpless, he was wearing tattered clothes, not to mention, there was a bad smell all over his body, even he hated it, not to mention other people.
Cheng Mo, who was rejected three times and twice, had a big head and could only choose to find a store to buy clothes, but the shops in Greece closed early, and after walking a long street, he didn't find a store that was still open.
When she was in a dilemma, Bai Xiuxiu finally replied to Cheng Mo's news, saying that the place of the incident was not in the iron foundry, but in a gypsum factory. Cheng Mo was not surprised, even if he guessed wrong, but the plaster factory proved that his reasoning logic was correct. However, Cheng Mo couldn't figure out what kind of work the other party wanted to make "Chen Fang" into this time......
Cheng Mo was about to ask Bai Xiuxiu about the specific location of the gypsum factory, when she received a message from Bai Xiuxiu asking where he was and whether he was still near the Hydra headquarters, and she immediately went to the Aristotle intersection. Cheng Mo didn't expect Bai Xiuxiu to come so quickly, and told Bai Xiuxiu his specific location, so he said that he wanted to go to the place where the incident occurred, but he didn't expect Bai Xiuxiu to agree immediately, but asked him to wait in place. Cheng Mo didn't say anything, and stood by the street lamp waiting for Bai Xiuxiu to come over.
When Bai Xiuxiu's Touareg drove over, it happened that a passing aunt took him for a real homeless man, took out five euros from his pocket and stuffed it to him, Cheng Mo was just about to refuse, Bai Xiuxiu pressed the window and asked him to come up.
Greece looked at Touareg and Bai Xiuxiu, and then at Cheng Mo's disdain, and immediately took back the hand holding the five euros, muttered in Greek and turned away. Cheng Mo still said "thank you" to the Greek aunt in Greek, and then opened the co-pilot's door and got into the car.
When he got into the car, Cheng Mo didn't close the window, and said when he was wearing his seat belt: "The smell is heavier..... You bear with it. ”
Bai Xiuxiu didn't seem to hear what Cheng Mo said, while looking at the road in front of her, she hit the steering wheel and prepared to make a U-turn illegally, she didn't look at Cheng Mo either, but said in a low voice: "We have to enter the headquarters of Hydra immediately to find out if the Black Death and Hydra have anything to do with this incident." ”
Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Bai Xiuxiu's side face, she didn't have any expression on her face, as if she had no emotion, but Cheng Mo could tell from the subtle difference between the corners of Bai Xiuxiu's mouth and eyes that she was not really emotionless, but she covered up her negative emotions. Cheng Mo didn't know the specific reason, but he knew that only by catching the murderer as soon as possible could he give Bai Xiuxiu some comfort, so Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Bai, don't rush to the Hydra headquarters first, take me to the gypsum factory to have a look." ”
Bai Xiuxiu still didn't answer Cheng Mo, just stared ahead and drove the Touareg fast, the bloated Touareg changed lanes left and right without scruples in the traffic, quickly overtook one car after another, and soon arrived near the Aristotle red light district in the sound of tearing engines and passing lights. Bai Xiuxiu stepped on the brakes sharply, and the Touareg made a piercing grinding sound, and stopped on the side of the road very quickly. Despite grabbing the handle, Cheng Mo's body leaned forward because of inertia.
Bai Xiuxiu hung up the parking gear, pressed the handbrake, and said a little coldly: "Get out of the car." ”
Cheng Mo felt that Bai Xiuxiu was in such a state, he had to say something, but it was useless to tell Bai Xiuxiu the truth, Cheng Mo sat in his seat and did not move, turned his head to stare at Bai Xiuxiu and said: "A deep-sea fish wants to swim down, it swims and swims, swims and swims, no one thought that it suddenly cried." The other fish ask what is wrong with it, and guess what it says?"
Bai Xiuxiu frowned, and also turned her head to look at Cheng Mo, just when Bai Xiuxiu was about to speak, Cheng Mo preemptively said: "'It said: I feel so stressed!' It's okay to be stressed, it's better to cry out....."
Bai Xiuxiu wanted to laugh but couldn't, looking at Cheng Mo's indifferent and silent face, her mood suddenly calmed down, she felt that Cheng Mo seemed to have a temperament, like an ice cube, so that the impetuous mood could be cooled down in an instant. She didn't look at Cheng Mo, looked back at the front, and said softly: "I originally thought that as long as I was strong enough, I could change some things, but now I found ......" Bai Xiuxiu stopped talking, as if she remembered something, her eyes became blurred, and after a moment, she lowered her head, "This feeling is really too uncomfortable, watching a fresh life being swallowed up by death, but I can't do anything......"
"There are so many things in this world that we can't do anything about. The past that can't be returned, the future that can't be predicted...... And those who will never be seen again. ”
There was an empty silence in the carriage, and in this instant, the world disappeared, leaving only an endless starry sky.
After a while, Bai Xiuxiu suddenly moved, she put back on the gear, stepped on the accelerator, and the silver-gray Touareg merged back into the traffic and galloped towards Pellistri.
"Why do you think that the other party would lock Han Junji in the iron foundry?" asked Bai Xiuxiu when the car drove up the elevated road.
"Ordinary people who kill people will destroy the corpse and achieve the goal of getting away with it, but all this kind of psychopathic killers who deliberately leave the corpse and create a sense of art are often very narcissistic people, they have absolute confidence in their IQ, thinking that others will definitely not be able to catch him, so they will deliberately leave some clues...... The people who killed Liu Jiayuan and Han Jiji are such people, for whom this is not only a murder or a demonstration, but also a stage for them to show themselves. And "The Thinker", where he stayed at the Royal Olympic Hotel, is the core of the clue......"
The Thinker..... Is it a clue?"
Cheng Mo nodded "um", and then said: "Most people know this famous statue, but they are not so familiar with Auguste Rodin, if you know Rodin, you will know that this great sculptor loves ancient Greece very much, and personally said, 'I love ancient Greece, it will remain in my masterpiece forever', he not only loves Parthenon sculpture very much, his own works are also deeply inspired by ancient Greek sculpture, I guess this is one of the reasons why the other party chose Rodin's sculptures...... Of course, the most important reason is that the other party should like Rodin's "Gates of Hell" very much..... In fact, "The Thinker" is part of the sculpture of "Hell's Gate", which was later recast into a relatively large bronze statue. ”
"Yes..... What does this have to do with the iron foundry?"
"Although Rodin was the greatest sculptor and a great fond of ancient Greek sculpture, he never carved a marble work with his own hands in his life..... In fact, Rodin's marble carvings are relatively few, most of them are bronze carvings, and Rodin's bronze carvings are cast in iron foundries. When I was thinking about this at the time, it occurred to me that he thought that his freezing of the human body into an ice sculpture was the first step in the lost wax casting method..... Rodin's early years were conservatively controversial, and his sculptures of the 'Bronze Age' were so realistic that he was accused of taking the molds directly from living models....."
