in the name of evil

Chapter 106
"what is the problem?"

Jiang Li also sat down, picked up a skewer of barbecue and started cooking.

The two threw Uncle Chen aside, Uncle Chen wiped his mouth and sat back in his seat.

"As long as we catch that kid, he is not the first batch of people to go in at all."

Chen Yixuan didn't hold back, and directly told the ins and outs of the whole thing:
"Before that kid, there were many people who were deceived in this way, no, it's not very accurate to say that they were deceived, after all, they were given the real thing.

In short, before the matter was exposed, these tomb robbers had brought many people in, but only some of them were released back. In fact, in addition to tomb robbery, this case also involved kidnapping, which is very complicated in nature.

This incident was also found out by the Qinling team. Because many people lived alone, the report was not timely. At the beginning, no one connected the two incidents until someone escaped and reported to the Qinling police. Only then did I realize that something was wrong.

Moreover, these missing people exist all over the country, and the investigation work is very heavy. We also have many here, and we were too busy some time ago. "

"I'm afraid I'm going to go to northern Burma to cut my waist?" Jiang Li couldn't help but interject.

"That's not it."

Chen Yixuan shook his head:
"Because these people were found one after another a few days ago, some of them were notified by the police when they returned home, and some of them went directly to the Qinling police for help.

Today was a busy day because many missing persons registered in Jiangcheng returned and were busy recording statements.

What is even more strange is that according to the descriptions of these people, they were all released on the same day, and they did not suffer any injuries, or those missing arms and legs were sold for their organs. "

"This is indeed a bit abnormal. According to you, it feels more like food and lodging."

Jiang Li felt that the world was getting more and more strange, and there were such things.

"Do they have anything in common?"

Jiang Li was just asking casually, but unexpectedly Chen Yixuan nodded:

"Yes, they were all young men in their mid-25s.

We have a guess about that, and that is that they were looking for someone, in the range of young men in that age group who were interested in that tomb.

As for those people they let go, it may be because they have found their target, or these people are not the people they are looking for. "

"What did these people say in their confessions?" Jiang Li frowned.

"Speaking of it, this is also a big doubt, because whether it is our confession or the news from Qinling, no one can remember the appearance of their kidnappers.

They all clearly stated that they had seen the real appearance of those people, but after they came out, they couldn't remember anything, and they didn't even know where they were tied up. When they came back to their senses, they had already appeared in the wilderness.

Not to mention what exactly happened, it's all about asking three questions.

Anyway, it's very mysterious, if we don't know that there are no ghosts in the world, we all think they are seeing ghosts. "

When Jiang Li heard this, he felt something was wrong.

It has an unknown purpose, can erase people's memories on a large scale, and has the means to easily find ancient tombs.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of the mysterious organization that paid homage to the Bronze Tree. Apart from the Cleaners Alliance, Jiang Li could never think of another organization with such capabilities.

Could it be that there are bronze trees in other places in the Qinling Mountains, and these people are looking for the descendants of Qin Shihuang or the believers of the sacred tree?

But why is there an age limit?
And they were released at the same time a few days ago. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the time when those people died in the underground palace was also right. It is hard not to make people suspicious, because the place and time are too coincidental.

"However, it will be easier in the future. The main trouble is to be solved by the Qinling Corps. It has little to do with us. After the statement is recorded today, it is basically over.

From my experience, this matter is complicated and confusing, with very few clues, and it will probably become an unsolved case. "

Chen Yixuan sighed, clinked glasses with Jiang Li and took a sip of beer.

But Jiang Li was absent-minded, because he suddenly had a bold guess, could these people come for Xiaocao, or come by themselves?
Although unlikely, it should not be taken lightly.

After learning about the tip of the iceberg hidden in history from the Qinling Underground Palace, Jiang Li has no doubt that someone knows that the sacred tree is wandering outside.

However, if this is the case, judging from their performance, they probably have inaccurate information, otherwise they would not have investigated and released such important news on a large scale.

But why do they think they will be attracted by the Qinling ancient tombs?
Are these people and that mysterious organization the same force?

Jiang Li began to think about whether he had left any clues in the underground palace. He wondered if someone entered there after he left and found something that led them to let go of the kidnapped people.

Although the identity of the tomb robber is still uncertain, Jiang Li can't help but think about the worst. This is his habit. He always thinks about the worst situation in advance so that he can prepare in advance.

Gradually, Jiang Li became a little irritable.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you distracted?"

Only then did Jiang Li come back to his senses, and looked at Chen Yixuan blankly: "What did you just say?"

"I said, did you go to any fun places on your business trip?"

Chen Yixuan didn't eat all day, and he seemed a little dizzy after drinking some wine, and his tone of voice was inexplicably excited.

"Really, I went to Da Ci'en Temple, the famous one, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, you know?"

Jiang Li suppressed the irritability in his heart and showed a smile.

"Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I've heard of it, but I haven't been there."

Chen Yixuan looked at Uncle Chen:

"Dad, didn't you go to Qinling to study when you were young? Have you ever been there?"

When mentioning the time when he was young, Uncle Chen got excited, put down the wine bottle, and waved his hand:
"I think back then, as an excellent criminal policeman at the grassroots level, I was selected to go outside for exchange and study.

Oh, by the way, and your Uncle Ai, the one I took you to the funeral last year.

At that time, we were all young talents in the police station. You know, this kind of exchange and learning is actually gold-plated, which can be regarded as preparation before promotion.

It was my first time flying by plane. Your Uncle Ai was very interesting. He also flew by plane for the first time. Halfway through the flight, he suddenly asked me to open the window for him, saying it was too boring.

I didn't understand it at the time, and I couldn't open it after researching for a long time, so I called the flight attendant and asked how to open the window, which made a big joke. "

"Going off topic." Chen Yixuan shook his head.

He and Jiang Li have heard Uncle Chen tell the funny story about flying for the first time countless times.

"Oh, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, of course I have been there.

At that time, I stayed in Qinling for three months, and basically visited all the interesting places, especially the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which impressed me deeply.

There is one thing that Jiang Li definitely doesn't know. His parents met at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. At that time, your father asked me to bring him some stamps and postcards of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. "

He was drunk, and Uncle Chen didn't care about taboos, and what he said was just out of his head, so he just blurted out.

By the time he reacted, he had already finished speaking.

Uncle Chen, who realized his slip of the tongue, looked at Jiang Li nervously, and the latter didn't seem to have any major emotional fluctuations, but was slightly surprised:
"Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard you say it?"

Uncle Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Li was extremely sensitive when he was a child. Whether he mentioned his parents or showed a slight preference for Chen Yixuan, it would cause great emotional fluctuations in him.

Over time, Jiang Li's parents were never mentioned in their family, and Uncle and Aunt Chen treated him even closer than their own son.

Fortunately, Chen Yixuan is also a person who has no heart, and never cares about these things. Although he is often teased by Jiang Li, he still treats him as his own brother. , even more sad than when Jiang Li was adopted by Uncle Chen's family.

Of course, Jiang Li did not disappoint Uncle Chen and the others. Not only did he not have any bad habits, but he was always very obedient and sensible, always giving them credit, with a maturity beyond his age.

Seeing that Jiang Li seemed to be different from before, and no longer resisted the word "parents", Uncle Chen calmly talked about the past that he had never talked about with Jiang Li.

"You were young at that time, what can you say about this kind of love affair, what can a brat understand?
Your father and I were in the same class from elementary school to high school, we are very close, just like you have the same relationship with Chen Yixuan.

But your father didn't go to college, not because your father was stupid, but because your grandfather was a famous rich man in Jiangcheng at that time, what was his name at that time?Oh, by the way, private entrepreneur, your father is going to inherit the family property, so you should learn how to handle business in advance. "

Hearing this, Jiang Li's breathing became rapid and his eyes glowed:
"The rich man? Where is his old man? Why haven't I seen him in so many years?"

"Well, your grandfather passed away early, and your father went bankrupt after running the business."

Jiang Li's breathing became steady, and he nodded clearly: "That's all right."

"Your father and your mother met when I was in college. At that time, your father also went to Qinling to study, and then I met your mother at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Your father has been the school grass from elementary school to high school since he was a child. , and rich and powerful, I brought it back to your mother directly. I was called to have a wedding banquet before I graduated from college.

You and your mother look quite alike. Let me tell you, those stars on TV are far worse than your parents. When they stood together, how did you say that word? "

"Young man and beautiful woman." Chen Yixuan cast a contemptuous look at Uncle Chen: "You are a college student who is not good at gold."

Uncle Chen rolled his eyes at him, and then said: "Anyway, that's what it means, and your mother's family seems to be very good. I heard that there is also a big family in Qinling, and your grandfather was still there at the time. The ostentation of the wedding Thinking about it now I feel exaggerated.

Do you know what the richest person was called at that time?

million households!
But your father told me privately that the assets of both of them are less than one million!

Don't look at the fact that 100 million yuan may not even be able to get a house. In those days, we had to count on our fingers for 1 yuan.

In the 80s, the purchasing power of 1 yuan is equivalent to 100 million now. As for the bourgeoisie, you can do the math yourself.

For me at the time, the cost of living in college was less than a few dollars a month, which was considered wealthy, and millions of dollars was simply astronomical. "

The more Jiang Li listened, the more he felt that the lemons in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

"No, Uncle Chen, then my dad bankrupted my grandpa's assets, what about my mom?"

Uncle Chen showed embarrassment, and seemed to be a little hard to say:
"This matter is actually like this, your mother is your grandfather's only daughter, and after getting married, your grandfather is also very relieved to hand over the business to your father.

Who would have thought that the descendants of a famous family in Jiangcheng would actually know nothing about business?

So your grandfather's house went bankrupt as a matter of course. "

Jiang Li was stunned, could his own father be too good at making things?
Two big families with millions of assets, today they are worth billions, even if they don't do anything, they only spend money every day, and they can't spend it all in a few lifetimes.

Can't you just learn from the world's number one top laner?
I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake.

Is not it good?
Chen Yixuan couldn't help laughing out: "Uncle Jiang is too ruthless, I really won't leave any escape for you."

Jiang Li drank a whole bottle of wine sullenly, and sighed:
"I wouldn't have been so sad. If you hadn't told me this, Uncle Chen, I might not have known it for the rest of my life. I almost could be the rich third generation."

I could have endured the darkness if I hadn't seen the light.

This sentence is the best portrayal of Jiang Li's mood at this time.

"Actually, I'm afraid it's not just rich three generations. You know, the 70s and [-]s were quite sensitive, but your parents not only declined, but even survived. I guess your ancestors have been rich for more than two or three generations, and it's not just simple. If you have money, you should understand what I mean."

Uncle Chen opened another bottle of wine for Jiang Li:
"I can only say that you have found a good father."

Jiang Li lit a cigarette and looked depressed: "So my parents owed money and ran away?"

"I thought so at first, but after thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong. I always felt that they were hiding something from me."

Uncle Chen thought for a while, then shook his head.

Jiang Li became interested: "Could it be that he found some way to do business abroad, maybe after a few years, he suddenly started sending money into my card like crazy?"

Chen Yixuan picked up the bottle and touched Jiang Li, and complained while drinking:

"My uncle Jules, isn't he?"

Uncle Chen also waved his hand: "We can rule out this possibility for the time being, otherwise we won't have no news for so many years.

At that time, I was just married, and your father had just brought me a big gift, and I heard that he had ruined both sides of the business.

You must have been two or three years old at that time. You were taken by your parents to live in the Southwest for a period of time. They said that you were avoiding debts. When you came back, you were entrusted to me. Then they disappeared. information.

What I said was wrong because after your family went bankrupt, your parents didn't seem to care much about it. Several times when I had dinner with your parents, they were as if nothing had happened. It seemed that bankruptcy had no effect on them. big.

This is also what I find strange. If you want to put it on me, with so much money gone, I would have been looking for a life and death. "

Jiang Li sighed, let alone you, I will also seek death and life.

But the only consolation is that my prodigal father didn't leave me a debt, otherwise, he wouldn't be the rich second generation, and almost became the negative second generation.

"Now that I think about it, you were very cute when you were a child. Every morning when you woke up, you would sit on the balcony and pant, saying that you were going to find your parents.

After persisting for a year, I finally gave up.

I'm afraid you have forgotten all these things, right? "

Uncle Chen said with a smile.

"Ah? Is there? Why should I sit on the balcony?" Jiang Li looked a little embarrassed when he mentioned his embarrassing things when he was a child.

"I still remember! I also want to know why you sit on the balcony. The most outrageous thing is that once I got up at night and saw a shadow on the balcony, I was so scared that I ran back to the room and hid under the quilt until dawn .

I told you about this the next day, and you lied to me that there was a ghost in the house, which frightened me, and I didn’t sleep well for half a month! "

Speaking of this, Chen Yixuan angrily picked up a bamboo stick and pointed at Jiang Li.

"Ahem." Jiang Li coughed tactically, covered his face and waved his hands: "There is no need to mention the past."

When I was a child, did I owe it to secondary school so much?

This is all black history.

It seems that no matter what happens in the future, Chen Yixuan and Lingle Tan Chufeng must not be allowed to meet. This kid knows too many secrets about himself.

"By the way, don't my parents have any relatives?"

Jiang Li asked casually.

Uncle Chen shook his head: "As far as I know, they are all only children. Even if there are, your parents never told me, and I don't know."

Jiang Li let out an 'oh' and concentrated on eating barbecue.

In fact, after so many years, he no longer has such strong feelings for his parents. For him, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are the ones who really play the role of parents, because they are the ones who brought him up.

It is even hard for Jiang Li to imagine how he would react if he saw his biological parents in the future.

Probably no response, at most a prodigal father?

Jiang Li thought about it jokingly, but for some reason, he always felt a little bitter.

Soon, the three of them finished their barbecue and chatted for a while. When they came back to their senses, it was almost twelve o'clock.

"Come on, stay at home tonight."

Uncle Chen put on his coat and said to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded: "OK."

After the school incident, the compensation promised by Zhang Xuanli has not been released for a long time. All he has is the nearly 20 points he won from the Quanzhen Seven and the less than [-] points he saved, which is more than [-] yuan.

Moreover, the points are very useful and cannot be spent casually, so Jiang Li is still a poor man after rounding up.

So if you can save, you can save. Jiang Li already has PTSD when the subway is out of service and he can only take a taxi.

When I got home, the house was pitch black.

"Keep your voice down, don't wake her up, if you know that I slipped out to eat barbecue while she was sleeping, you will have to blame me all night."

Jiang Li and Chen Yixuan nodded and tiptoed to go upstairs.

At this moment, the light suddenly turned on.

My aunt sat on the sofa, looked at the three sneaking around, and said with a sneer:
"Okay, where did the three of you go? Why didn't you take me with you?"

Uncle Chen opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but Jiang Li and Chen Yixuan took a step forward and said in unison:

"Uncle Chen (Dad) took us to eat barbecue, and he didn't listen to any persuasion. Auntie (Mum) you should teach him a lesson."

After finishing speaking, the two of them fled upstairs.

Uncle Chen was furious and said to himself, you two little bastards, I still paid the money, so you just sold me?
Auntie had a meaningful smile on her face:
"So that's the case. No wonder they urged me to go to bed quickly, and they said something good for the skin, haha."

"Would you like to listen to my explanation first?"

Jiang Li and Chen Yixuan sat against the wall at the corner of the second floor, listening to the movement downstairs, patted their chests, and looked at each other:
"It's a good thing we ran fast!"

Afterwards, the two waited until there was no movement downstairs and Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen entered the master bedroom, then they got up from the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have to go to work tomorrow, so go to bed first."

Chen Yixuan nodded to Jiang Li and walked into the room.

Jiang Li also opened the door of his room, walked in, and went straight to the bathroom.

Barbecue is delicious, but just like hot pot, there is a smell on the body after eating.

Turning on the shower, Jiang Li carefully recalled what happened in the Qinling Underground Palace, and after making sure that there were no traces that might reveal his identity, he slipped into bed in peace.

Jiang Li turned on the electric blanket tremblingly, and finally let out a long breath.

"This cold and gloomy feeling is almost catching up with the ghost's yin energy."

After leaving the Qinling Mountains, Jiang Li finally recalled the domination brought by the cold in the south.

Turning on the phone, Jiang Li realized that someone had sent him a message.

"Daozhang Zhang?"

Jiang Li was a little surprised. The time of the news was three hours ago. At that time, Zhang Xuanli and the others should have just returned to Longhu Mountain, right?

[Zhang Daochang: I just received the news that I will rush to the headquarters tomorrow, and the council will have a meeting.

If it's convenient, I'll help you deal with the voting on the proposal by the way.

You have to wait for these few days to consolidate your cultivation base. Your cultivation base is improving too fast. Although this is also the characteristic of psychic devouring magic, I am still afraid that your foundation will not be stable and you will have trouble in the future.

If there is something you don't understand, look for green plums and green bamboos.

As for the assessment, let's postpone it a little bit, and arrange it after I come back. 】

Jiang Li put down his phone, a little surprised and a little disappointed.

For him, the most precious thing right now is time, and no minute or second should be wasted.

"Huh? Wait."

Jiang Li seemed to suddenly think of something:
"Although there is no way to know the specific content of tasks at the human level and above from the Cleaner's House, there are other ways. Isn't there another bad luck?"

Jiang Li smirked and called out Zuo Zihuan.

Zuo Zihuan didn't know what he had experienced, and he didn't have the slightest pretense of being high-spirited at school, and his face was full of depression.

He didn't even pay any attention to where he appeared, and walked to the window silently, watching the busy traffic downstairs in a daze.

"Hey, you are all good brothers, don't be so depressed all the time."

Jiang Li comforted.

Zuo Zihuan shook his head: "I really want to die, but I can't die."

The window reflected his sad face.

"Well, I'll give you a task now. If it's done, I'll allow you to have some time to leave the grass every day."

Sure enough, these words were very tempting to Zuo Zihuan, and he turned to look at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li cleared his throat and issued his first combat order to Zuo Zihuan:
"You should find out for me as soon as possible, where in Jiangcheng there are evil spirits with the same strength as you at that time, it doesn't matter if you are promoted soon, just list them all for me."

Zuo Zihuan repeated it silently, and then asked, "Is that all? Don't I have to kill them all?"

Jiang Li was a little surprised: "Didn't your strength drop? Are you capable of killing them?"

"Have!"

Zuo Zihuan nodded: "You were promoted some time ago, and now I'm back to my original peak."

The next moment, four tentacles glowing purple appeared behind Zuo Zihuan, but they carefully avoided all the furniture and huddled together like a mimosa, looking a little funny.

Jiang Li said with satisfaction: "Not bad, but all you have to do is break into the ghosts and collect their information, and I have other plans.

After this is done, you will not only be able to let off steam every day, but you will also become my ace double agent who can do both black and white. Let me think about it, the code name is——Pangolin! "
