Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 36 Zhou Tong Detective Series II: Blood Talisman (15)
"There are many more that you may not even think of."

Zhou Tong said as he wiped the rainwater off his face.

"What's going on?" Li Ying stepped forward and pulled Zhou Tong.

"Do you mind if I finish talking first before doing anything?" Zhou Tong asked, pointing to the dozen or so guns in front of him.

Feng Tianrong laughed coldly, and said, "You didn't continue to explore this cave, it's really a waste of my kindness."

"Your design is quite perfect, bizarre, terrifying, and of course very creative. I'm almost going to fall for your tricks and go find that monster and talisman." Zhou Tong's admiration is by no means feigned, "But Unfortunately, you have made a few mistakes that are too obvious."

"Oh?" Feng Tianrong looked disapproving.

"First, there are corpse spots on the severed limbs you left behind. You must know that corpse spots appear only about 5 hours after death, and under the low temperature conditions in the cave, this phenomenon Second, you only left the hands and feet, but let the "monster" take the body and head. It was clever to do so, so that we could not confirm the real identity of the deceased, but it was also suspicious. Do monsters have the eccentricity of not eating hands and feet? Thirdly, although the masterpiece you left on the stone wall is quite realistic, you forgot that we have an archeology expert——Liu Qingte, when he touched the stone wall When there is still carving powder, it is almost 100% sure that the mural is forged." Zhou Tong looked at Feng Tianrong's expression when he said this, and his expression was indeed extremely ugly.

Feng Tianrong never expected that the trap he had carefully laid had so many loopholes.

"You found something wrong with the mural, why didn't you tell me?" Li Ying asked Liu Qingte with some blame.

Liu Qingte smiled, and said, "I was going to say something, but Zhou Tong poked me in the waist, and I shut up."

"The two of you cooperate very well." Ai Chen also laughed.

"I didn't expose this trick at the time. There are two reasons. First, I can't confirm whether Qin Mengyao and Feng Tianrong arranged this play together. Second, if you don't pretend to be fooled, let you come out of the hole first. How can we lure all these people out?" Zhou Tong looked at Feng Tianrong, not at all afraid of the guns in front of him, and looked confident.

"From your tone, you don't seem like a simple college student at all?" Feng Tianrong asked curiously.

"You are also not simple!" Zhou Tong said with a smile.

"Then you have suspected me for a long time?" Feng Tianrong suddenly began to think.

"That's not true. Your disguise is too perfect. If you didn't set up this clever trap, I would never have suspected you, but..." Zhou Tong said, turning his head to Li Xin, looking at her, " Your tail has long been exposed!"

"I don't understand what you mean?" Li Xin's expression was frank.

"You shouldn't have killed Chen Jun in Ulan Bator!" Zhou Tong looked directly at Li Xin with lightning-like eyes.

"It's nonsense, what evidence do you have that I killed Chen Jun?" Li Xin retorted.

"When Chen Jun died, I was always wondering why the murderer created a secret room to kill people, but after my careful inspection, I found that the murderer did not intend to do so. It was purely an accident!" Zhou Tong agreed. After smoothing the wet hair, I continued: "I found a small pile of plush at the murder scene. The color is the same texture and color as the sweater you wore when you took the plane in the morning. Obviously you are killing Chen Jun. Afterwards, he panicked and ran out the door with his computer, but inadvertently hooked the door lock, causing the lock to hang upside down."

"Why didn't you point this out?" Ai Chen asked.

"Because the evidence is not sufficient, it is better not to say it than to scare the snake, but since then I have paid special attention to Li Xin's every move. What she did today obviously exposed her identity."

Li Xin's expression began to change, but she remained silent and let Zhou Tong continue.

"She was always by Qin Mengyao's side, but she didn't know that Qin Mengyao and Feng Tianrong fell into the cave. Even if she said she fell, it was hard to be completely convincing, and in the pouring rain, she was the first to hear It is even more unbelievable to hear Qin Mengyao's call for help and accurately determine the direction, unless she already knew Qin Mengyao's location."

"Is what he said true?" Qin Mengyao looked at Li Xin with an expression of disbelief and asked.

Feng Tianrong didn't wait for Li Xin's answer, and said, "Li Xin, there is no need for you to hide your identity anymore."

"That's right. Like Feng Tianrong, I am a member of the Asian branch of the Mafia." Hearing what Feng Tianrong said, Li Xin immediately looked at Qin Mengyao fiercely and said.

"This...this...how is it possible..." Qin Mengyao almost burst into tears.

"Actually, I have always been by your side only because of the talisman." Li Xin said and walked to Feng Tianrong's side.

"Then in the art exhibition, did you design the hanging lamp that fell?" Qin Mengyao asked.

"That's right, and not only that, Jiang Shaoqi and Wang Gui were all killed by me." Li Xin laughed triumphantly.

"What's the relationship between you and her?" Li Ying seemed to feel that the relationship between Qin Mengyao and Li Xin was a bit strange, so she couldn't help but looked at Qin Mengyao and asked.

Qin Mengyao lowered his head, but did not answer Li Ying's question. He just turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhou Tong secretly, as if he was afraid that he would know his relationship with Li Xin.

"Since you admit it yourself, I don't need to spend any more time!" Zhou Tong smiled brighter than Li Xin.

"How did you kill them?" Ai Chen was very curious.

"How?" Hearing Ai Chen's question, Li Xin couldn't help but look at Feng Tianrong, and then replied, "Then you'd better ask the chief director!"

"It's just that they don't know how to praise! If we hand over the talisman cards earlier, we might be able to let them go!" Feng Tianrong didn't seem to want to mention the details of killing them, but urged impatiently: "Qin Mengyao, Zhou Tong You two had better hand over the talisman to me obediently, otherwise this is your cemetery!"

"It's not difficult for me to hand over the talisman, but I'm still full of doubts about some things. I hope you can satisfy my curiosity first." Zhou Tong gently pushed away a pistol in front of him, then looked at Feng Tianrong and said.

"Is this a condition for getting a talisman?"

"That's it."

"Zhou Tong, are you really going to..." Li Ying wanted to stop Zhou Tong, but Zhou Tong quickly waved her hand to stop her from continuing.

"You'd better keep your promise." Feng Tianrong wiped the gun in his hand.

"Why choose this time to attack us instead of waiting for us to find all the remaining talisman cards?"

"In fact, we just want to force Qin Mengyao to hand over the talisman first. As for the rest, we are going to give you more opportunities to help us find the talisman, but you..." Feng Tianrong said helplessly.

"No wonder Li Xin has been urging Qin Mengyao to get out of the cave first, so that's the case. It seems that we didn't continue to explore this cave, which is really a failure."

"Indeed, this cave allows you to directly reach the position of the horse pattern of the zodiac." Feng Tianrong didn't mean to be joking at all.

"Since you know where the talisman is on the zodiac horse pattern, why don't you go get it yourself?"

Feng Tianrong was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"There are some small puzzles that we can't solve for the time being, so we need to rely on your strength." Feng Tianrong said.

"Hearing what you said, I feel that our lives are much more secure." Zhou Tong showed a reassuring look without any pretentiousness.

"The premise is that you are willing to cooperate." Feng Tianrong put away his smile and looked serious.

"I think it is you who need to cooperate now." Zhou Tong smiled and pointed behind Feng Tianrong.

"We are special police, you are surrounded, immediately put down your weapons and surrender!" Yan Yongjie's voice came from the tweeter.

"It's Yan Yongjie!" Li Ying jumped up happily.

From all around the forest, more than a dozen searchlights suddenly appeared, illuminating the position where Zhou Tong and the others were standing as if it were daytime.And from a distance came the roar of helicopters, which can be said to have laid a net of heaven and earth.

Feng Tianrong, Li Xin and their subordinates all turned pale.

"You are actually from the police?!" Feng Tianrong pointed at Zhou Tong and said in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, believe it or not, I'm really an authentic new college student. It's just that I, a college student, like to cooperate with the police very much." Zhou Tong emphasized, "I advise you to surrender immediately. Dozens of snipers, if you move even a little bit, you will probably be turned into a hornet's nest."

Feng Tianrong snorted coldly and said, "You really underestimate us."

As they spoke, Feng Tianrong and his men slowly took off their coats. It turned out that their bodies were covered with high explosives.

"We have high explosives strapped to our bodies. If anyone dares to shoot, we will die together!" Feng Tianrong raised his hands and shouted in the heavy rain.

"All personnel, without my order, you are not allowed to shoot!" Yan Yongjie saw the explosives on these people, and she was definitely not joking. With so many explosives, as long as one of them is detonated, it will immediately cause a chain reaction. Don't say anything at that time For Zhou Tong and the others, even this grove might be razed to the ground.

Feng Tianrong laughed out loud immediately, and said, "Zhou Tong, I'm glad to meet an opponent like you, but you're always one step behind."

Zhou Tong's brows were almost knit together. He didn't expect that the opponent would have a bomb attached at any time. In this case, even a sniper would be useless.

Feng Tianrong ordered his men to arrest Ai Chen, Qin Mengyao and Liu Qingte.As for Lin Danxi, Feng Tianrong originally wanted to catch him too, but seeing Lin Danxi's tiger eyes and the shining golden knife at his waist, he decided to let him go for the time being.

"Zhou Tong, if you want to save them, you can exchange the remaining three talisman cards." After saying that, Feng Tianrong hugged Li Ying and forced the gun to her head.

"Don't mess around!" Zhou Tong put his hands in his pockets, tightly holding the pocket revolver William gave him, but he didn't dare to take the risk of saving people.

"Don't worry, as long as you obediently come here with the talisman, they will be safe!" Feng Tianrong smiled coldly.

"Listen, the police next to you, get out of the way immediately! Otherwise, you will die!" Feng Tianrong yelled loudly, and then ordered his subordinates to drag the hostages and retreat slowly out of the woods.

"Wait!" Qin Mengyao suddenly shouted at this moment.

"You want to die?" Li Xin stared at Qin Mengyao viciously.

"I'll only tell one person the location of the talisman in my hand, and that's Zhou Tong. Otherwise, even if I die, I won't say a word!" Qin Mengyao looked at Feng Tianrong and Li Xin and said.

"Okay, take her past Zhou Tong's side!" Feng Tianrong ordered his subordinates while watching the surroundings vigilantly.

Qin Mengyao walked slowly to Zhou Tong's side, suddenly hugged Zhou Tong tightly, bit his lips, and kissed him passionately.Everyone was stunned.

Zhou Tong herself was bewildered by Qin Mengyao's actions, but she couldn't push her away.

After Qin Mengyao kissed Zhou Tong, she slowly pressed Zhou Tong's face, moved her sexy lips to Zhou Tong's ear, and said softly, "Remember me, and you can find that talisman!"

After saying this, Qin Mengyao quickly left Zhou Tong.

"Zhou Tong, you are really blessed." Feng Tianrong said a little jealously.

Li Ying, who was caught, was so angry that she couldn't do anything about it, but Yan Yongjie in the dark crushed the walkie-talkie in her hand with force.

"Let's go quickly, we can't delay!" Li Xin urged Feng Tianrong from the side.

Feng Tianrong nodded, took the hostages, and directed his subordinates to retreat outside the forest in an orderly manner.

Yan Yongjie dared not shoot, so she had to order her subordinates to follow closely.

Zhou Tong stood there blankly, with an indescribable feeling in his heart and mouth.

Chapter 18 Remember Me

The rainstorm comes and goes quickly, the weather in the mountains is unpredictable, and the rain stops in the blink of an eye.The night is drawing to a close, and a new day is ushering in the sunshine.

Zhou Tong and Lin Danxi were taken to the mountain camp set up by the special criminal investigation team and spent a long and difficult night.They waited anxiously for the news of Yan Yongjie's pursuit, and they stayed up all night.

When Yan Yongjie came back, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning, and the one-night hunt made her look a little haggard, and red pimples even appeared on her fair skin.

"Yan Yongjie, have you caught them?" Zhou Tong asked anxiously seeing Yan Yongjie.

"What? Worried about your little lover?" Yan Yongjie angrily put down the micro-gun in her hand heavily.

"Yong Jie, aren't you jealous?" Zhou Tong smiled.

"Come on! I don't have that time. The other party has already arranged the retreat route, and with the hostages in hand, we can only watch them leave." Yan Yongjie was a little annoyed.

"Have you searched that cave?"

Yan Yongjie nodded wearily.

"I searched and found some camouflage props and some traps inside. In addition, this cave can really lead directly to the location of the zodiac horse pattern on the hillside."

"It seems that Feng Tianrong is not lying." Zhou Tong was a little surprised by this.

"Speaking of which, although the murderer has been found out now, I still don't understand many details." Yan Yongjie was puzzled.

"Then let me solve the puzzle for you." Zhou Tong sat down, crossed his legs and folded his hands, looking omniscient.

"Why did Li Xin make a 'death notice' when he started to kill, but there was no sign when he killed Chen Jun later?" Yan Yongjie kicked Zhou Tong off the chair.

Zhou Tong seemed like a child who had done something wrong, so he didn't dare to complain. He immediately got up from the ground and said obediently: "This question is actually very simple. From the very beginning, Li Xin wanted to pretend to be a perverted serial murderer, so the suspicion is just hope." Dispersing the police's investigation, and killing Chen Jun was a completely accidental decision, and it is also because of this that Li Xin left clues at the crime scene."

"What about Qin Mengyao? Why were they so eager to kill her at the beginning, but then they let her go when they had multiple chances to kill her?" When Yan Yongjie talked about Qin Mengyao, Zhou Tong's The eyes are really strange.

Of course Zhou Tong understood what Yan Yongjie was thinking, but he deliberately pretended not to notice, and said calmly: "I couldn't figure this out at first, but Li Xin deliberately separated us from Qin Mengyao, and then Forced her to hand over the talisman outside the cave, and I understood the reason."

"You mean that Feng Tianrong and Li Xin didn't know that Qin Mengyao also got one of the talisman cards at first." Yan Yongjie seemed to understand.

Zhou Tong continued to analyze and said: "Yes, among the seven talisman cards, the Russian Mafia originally had three, and the rest, I got one from Li Ying, and Liu Qingte took one from the Darghuts. , but after being transferred by Jiang Shaoqi and Wang Gui, they were taken away by Feng Tianrong and Li Xin. In this way, as William said, the mafia has already got four talisman cards at this time. Feng Tianrong and Li Xin should be from Jiang Shaoqi or Wang Gui There is information about the location of another talisman, and Qin Mengyao also knows this, so they wanted to kill Qin Mengyao to silence them, but I saved Qin Mengyao by mistake. But according to my speculation, later They must have arrived at that place, only to find that the talisman had already been taken by someone, and the only one who could have taken the talisman was Qin Mengyao, so they didn't kill again."

"Didn't Qin Mengyao tell you the location of the talisman in her hand when she was leaving?" Yan Yongjie recalled the scene last night with inexplicable jealousy.

Zhou Tong remembered Qin Mengyao's words in his ear last night, and his face turned red involuntarily.How could this expression escape Yan Yongjie's eyes?
"What did she whisper in your ear yesterday?" Yan Yongjie walked to Zhou Tong's side and asked with a smile.

Seeing Yan Yongjie's smile, Zhou Tong couldn't help but tremble.

"This... this... can you not say it?"

"No, if you dare to hide half a sentence, this is your fate!" Yan Yongjie smashed a folding steel chair with the palm of his hand.

Lin Danxi on the side couldn't help but stick out his tongue.
