Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 44 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (6)
Academician Qi said: "Xiao Chen..."

Head Chen said: "Don't worry about this matter, I must figure out the situation. It's definitely not as simple as we thought."

Little Gu Renbao could only helplessly get off the camel slowly and said: "Actually, I really don't know who they are."

Head Chen said: "I don't care about that, I just want to ask you one thing: Why are these people chasing you? Also, who are you and why do you want to use us? If you don't tell me, I will tell you You leave it to them."

Little Gu Renbao's expression seemed to be hesitant. He looked around, but didn't intend to speak.Head Chen said: "Well, let's leave now, but I have to borrow some camels from you. There is no way, because the money has already been given to you."

Little Gu Renbao said: "Brother, you can't pretend to be so stupid and leave me alone. We had an agreement before."

His original Chinese was still a bit blunt, but it suddenly became very standard at this moment. Immediately, everyone turned their attention to us again, and the leader said to Head Chen: "You want to deceive people?"

Head Chen looked at Xiao Gu Renbao and cursed in a low voice, but Xiao Gu Renbao's expression couldn't tell what it meant, but at the moment he looked directly at Head Chen without fear, and the two stared at each other for a while .Head Chen said: "If I don't take you away, what can you do?"

Xiaogu Renbao said: "It doesn't matter, they won't let you go anyway."

Those horse thieves were indeed staring at us with unfriendly faces.Head Chen said: "Boy, you have been playing tricks on us from the very beginning, why is that, I can't figure it out?"

Little Gu Renbao showed a sly smile that didn't match his age and said: "I don't understand what you said, but you have thought about how to get rid of them." But there are guys, so be careful."

Head Chen smiled and said, "Damn it, at my age, I was tricked by your doll, okay, I'll take it."

At this moment, the leader kept scanning He Zhuang's body, while He Zhuang was silently staring at the front in a daze, and the leader said: "Hey! I said that kid, what is that on your back?"

He Zhuang said: "Knife."

The gang of horse thieves burst into laughter for some reason, and the leader said: "I'm afraid it's an arrow?"

He Zhuang said: "The arrow is hanging beside it, didn't you see it?"

The horse thief rolled his eyes and said, "Since you said it was a knife, don't you mind showing us?"

He Zhuang said: "Okay, come and get it yourself."

The horse thief hesitated, He Zhuang said: "What are you afraid of, I can still eat you on the camel?"

As he spoke, he slowly began to untie the knot fastened to his chest. The leader didn't know what was going on with He Zhuang, and seeing that he hadn't even bent his back, he confidently walked over with his scimitar in hand.Unexpectedly, when he was still two or three meters away from He Zhuang, He Zhuang suddenly jumped up, turned somersault in the air and landed behind the leader. The strong dagger was already on his neck.

The horse thieves exclaimed, as if planning to rush up.He Zhuang said: "Whoever you dare to move, I will kill him."

The leader said: "Don't mess around, we can discuss it."

He Zhuang said: "What are you discussing with you? We just want to do scientific research, but what do you mean by following us endlessly?"

The leader said: "Are you really just a group of scientists?"

He Zhuang said: "Why did I lie to you?"

The leader said: "I don't believe it, how can a scientist have such good skills like you, I have never seen it before."

Ma Tianxing said: "Scientists also need bodyguards, don't they? Otherwise, we don't carry guns and knives just for our own courage, but mainly to deal with you gang of horse thieves?"

The leader was furious when he heard this, and he blushed and said, "Who told you that I belonged to a horse thief? It must be Xiaogu Renbao!"

Ma Tianxing said: "Since you know, then it's fine."

The leader said: "Okay, boy, it seems that you are really just a group of scientists, and I apologize to you."

He Zhuang said: "Do you think I will let you go so easily?"

The man said: "Of course you are not fools, but I am not a horse thief. There are no horse thieves in the desert, only knights. We are all noble knights. Our ancestors are the bravest warriors in the tribe. How can people like us Will you be a robber and a thief?"

Head Chen said: "Little Gu Renbao, you kid has never told the truth."

After finishing speaking, Head Chen went to the leader again and said: "It seems that we still have some misunderstandings. Of course, I don't know why this happened. It seems that everything has to be figured out from the kid Gu Renbao. Then if I Let go of you, can you deal with this problem in front of you more rationally?"

The leader said: "Don't worry, the knight will keep what he says, and besides, we are not enemies."

After hearing this, Captain Chen winked at He Zhuang, and He Zhuang put the knife back into his arms.The leader thought for a while and said, "My name is Zhiva Dorje. I would like to ask you some names."

Head Chen said: "Leave them alone, my surname is Chen, you can just call me Old Chen."

Riva Dorji said: "Well, old Chen, I think you must have been used by someone. If that martial arts master just now..."

Head Chen smiled and said: "Don't say that, you can call him Xiao He, his surname is He."

Riva Dorji seemed to admire He Zhuang a little bit. He nodded modestly to He Zhuang and said: "If this little He is not carrying a sword, then I can be sure that you have been used by others."

This time He Zhuang didn't make any fuss anymore, he immediately untied the saber that was fixed on his body, unwrapped the package, pulled out the saber body and said, "Look carefully, I am a saber, not a sword."

Riva Dorje said: "I understand, so old Chen, can I take Xiaogu Renbao away?"

Head Chen said: "Don't ask me about this, just ask him."

Little Gu Renbao said: "Chief Chen, if you send me to my opponent like this, you are killing people in disguise, and you are the murderer."

Zhiva Dorji said sincerely: "Don't worry, I will never move a finger from him, but this guy is very cunning, I have to ask something from him."

Head Chen thought for a while and said, "Brother, I didn't stop you from doing things, but you have to let me understand that I am not related to Xiaogu Renbao, so why does he use me?"

Although we have only just come into contact with this group of so-called "horse thieves", we can clearly feel from Zhiva Dorje that this man is actually very simple, so there is no reason to suspect that his temperament is just pretending.The reason is that the young man Xiaogu Renbao really makes us feel that he has a slippery air about him.Another point: the tire of our car was broken in his hands, so we naturally had a better impression of Zhiva Dorje who had just met.

Zhiva Dorje said: "It's not that I want to hide it from you, but you won't believe it even if I tell you about it, and we must keep it a secret."

Head Chen said: "But you have already given a lot of information before."

Zhivadorji slightly hesitated, and said, "Really, I didn't say anything, did I?" He turned his head to ask his own people for evidence, but none of his companions answered.

Head Chen said: "You just said that you seem to be looking for a sword. Now that I have said this, I can naturally guess many possible reasons, for example..."

Zhiva Dorji seemed a little flustered and said, "For example, what?"

Head Chen said: "I'm wondering if this sword is a sacred object in your clan? In short, since you have revealed the cause, we can continue to investigate."

Zhiva Dorji said with a sigh of relief: "I thought you guessed it, but it seems that you haven't. Hehe, check it out yourself, I'm on my way."

Head Chen said: "Well, since this is the case, we will not hand over Xiaogu Renbao to you."

While they were talking, I quietly walked up to little Gu Renbao and said, "Hand over the things you hid just now."

Xiaogu Renbao pretended to be authentic: "What are you talking about, I don't understand."

I said: "If you pretend again, don't blame me for not saving you."

Xiaogu Renbao's expression changed again: "Are you really willing to help me?"

I said: "Nonsense, since I know you have hidden something, it doesn't matter whether you give it to me or not, but if I found it, then you may have to leave with them besides losing the item, that's the truth." The loss is at home. I will say it all, and you can decide for yourself."

Riva Dorji said: "Chief Chen, you are friends, I don't want to hurt you, but I have to take this kid away. If you don't want to, we can exchange things with you."

After hearing this, little Gu Renbao no longer hesitated and said, "You have to swear that you will not go against what you just said, or you will stay in the desert forever."

I said: "Don't worry, I will do what I say. If I don't fulfill my promise, I will die here without a burial. How about it, is it more ruthless than yours?"

Little Gu Renbao thought for a while, and finally took out a piece of brocade from his pocket. Riva Dorje's face changed when he saw it. Just as he was about to step forward, Captain Chen immediately raised the gun in his hand and said: "You can Don't force me to shoot, we haven't agreed on the conditions yet."

I unfolded the brocade, and saw a majestic general embroidered on the four sides of the cloth. The general was sitting on a tiger leather chair, holding a waist-length long sword with his hands imposingly.This was a bonus, since I was referring to the stick he hid on his body, it seems he misunderstood me.

Head Chen didn't know what I got, and said, "I don't want to get involved in your personal grievances, but if you want to do something that violates the law, then I won't agree."

Zhiva Dorje said: "We have not violated the law, we are just doing what we must do, you must entrust this person to us."

Little Gu Renbao suddenly said loudly: "I have already given you the things, but you must not know what it means. If you hand me over to them, you will never know. This is a shocking secret."

Riva Dorje said: "Little Gu Renbao, are you crazy to tell outsiders these things?" It was obvious that Riva Dorje was really anxious. He actually spoke Chinese. A piece of brocade was shown to him, and he looked at it carefully and said, "What do you mean?"

I said: "This is what little Gu Renbao took out. He said that as long as we protect him, he will tell us the secret."

Head Chen thought for a while and said to Riva Dorje: "Brother, I really have no intention of intervening in the personal grievances between the two of you, but the premise is that your actions cannot violate the laws and regulations of the country. But what you have taken from you now For these guys, you have already violated the prohibition of using controlled knives. Seriously, you need to bear legal responsibility. So under such circumstances, if I hand over Xiaogu Renbao to you, then As he said, if you commit murder against him, then I will be an accomplice. But I do not intend to bear such legal consequences, and my identity does not allow me to make deals with people in this regard, I think you should be able Do you understand that?"

Riva Dorji looked at the gun in Chen's hand and nodded helplessly.Head Chen said again: "But I also want to assure you that if Xiaogu Renbao intends to do anything that harms your interests, I will stop him and I will definitely not join forces."

Riva Dorje said: "Maybe things are different from what you think. I just want to remind you that this tapestry has no meaning to you."

Head Chen said: "Maybe, at least I have to be sure of this before I can make a decision. Before I'm sure, I have no reason to believe what you said."

Little Gu Renbao showed a smug smile in his eyes at this moment.I said: "Don't think I don't know anything, don't play tricks on me."

Little Gu Renbao said: "Isn't everything given to you?"

I said: "What's more, do you think I didn't see it? I said don't pretend to be confused with me, and quickly get it out."

I took the stick over without showing any emotion and handed it to Ma Tianxing. Ma Tianxing looked at it carefully and said: "It's really just a stick."

Head Chen said: "Then I'm sorry, Xiaogu Renbao is still with us for the time being, if he violates any laws, I will personally stop him."

Zhiva Dorji no longer hesitated, turned around and left. After getting on the horse, he did not hit the horse and walk away. Instead, he stood on the spot and said loudly, "Isn't it illegal for us to follow you along the same road?"

Head Chen smiled and said, "It really doesn't matter, but there's one thing you shouldn't harass us for no reason, we have old people and women here."

Zhiva Dorje said: "I protect the elderly and women, we are not bad people."

We can basically feel this until now, and with Riva Dorji following, at least the little Gu Renbao didn’t dare to play tricks, so we still welcome them to escort us. From this point of view, this desert is really There are many crises.

On the road, Zhiva Dorji's horse team kept a certain distance from us, about 100 meters, our camels did not move fast, and they were not afraid that we would suddenly sprint or run away.After walking two steps, Captain Chen said: "Little Gu Renbao, come here, boy."

Little Gu Renbao lifted the reins and came to the head of Chen. The head of Chen said: "Now I ask you to think clearly about what you should say, it may have a great impact on your fate, so I have a question : Do you believe that I will hand you over?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "I don't believe it, because you don't know the secret of that picture yet."

Head Chen smiled and said: "You are really smart, but I can also make a bold guess, you will definitely not tell us this secret, because this is the only weight in your hand, if you hand it over, it will be completely lost ,yes?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "That's it. If I tell you, then am I still valuable?"

Head Chen said: "Little brother, let me tell you a truth. We are here to complete a scientific research activity, not to make great achievements. It's a big mistake. And I don't think you have anything earth-shattering to offer. So obviously our own mission seems to be much more important than yours, I don't think you will deny that?"

Just as Xiaogu Renbao was about to answer, Captain Chen rushed ahead of him and said, "In addition, we need to pay a very high price to protect you for no reason. After all, the knives in the hands of these people are real guys. This point You should be able to see it, right?"

Xiaogu Renbao nodded, and head Chen said: "Then I ask you to believe that, I think it is very uneconomical to protect you now, because first of all your secret is not important to us. Secondly, we The funds are limited, and I have no time or energy to accompany you around the desert, but we are not wronging you if we want this camel, because the tires are broken by you guys, and eight tires just pay for eight camels , I suppose you have no objection?"

Little Gu Renbao's expression became a little unnatural. He seemed to be trying to laugh, but he didn't laugh anyway. He said, "Can't you just keep talking?"

Head Chen said: "It's really strange, have I promised you anything?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "You said that as long as I hand over the things, you will protect me."

Head Chen said: "Luo Zi, bring the things here."

I handed both the stick and the brocade to Commander Chen. I thought that Commander Chen was trying to scare him, and I thought this method was not smart at all. To my surprise, Commander Chen actually handed over both things to him. In the hands of Xiao Gu Renbao, Xiao Gu Renbao himself was also dumbfounded.

Head Chen said: "Now you can leave us, and you don't have to pay back the money, please."

Little Gu Renbao said: "You...you are a murderer."
