Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 75 Zhou Tong Detective Series IV: The Skinner (9)
The smoke in the room has dissipated, but there is still a faint scent left, which makes people sleepy.

"Why do you want to smoke us?" Yan Yongjie hit the lama in yellow on the shoulder with the butt of his gun, causing him to squat on the ground.

Chen Siguo stood beside the window with his gun raised, keeping vigilant.

The lama in yellow had cold sweat on his forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and did not say a word.

"It's been a long time since I used the technique of overly muscle-stretching hands." Yan Yongjie sneered, and his subordinates tapped a few acupuncture points on him mercilessly.

I saw the blue veins on the face of the lama in yellow, the muscles on his face were twisted, and he was in great pain, but he couldn't cry out.

Even Chen Siguo, who was standing by the side, was terrified, not knowing what kind of "magic" Yan Yongjie used.

The lama in yellow finally couldn't bear it anymore and kept kowtowing for mercy.

"If you dare to tell half a lie, I will make your life worse than death." Yan Yongjie is not a policeman now, so she will not care about any methods.

The lama in yellow had his acupuncture points unlocked, but he was sweating profusely and out of breath in this cold winter night.

"Master...choose you to be the Ming concubine...to help you become a Buddha."

"Nonsense..." Yan Yongjie saw that what he said was outrageous, and planned to tap his acupuncture points again.

"No...not...really, I practice the secret method of esoteric teaching...both men and women..." The lama in yellow hurriedly explained.

"You tell me every word clearly!" Seeing his appearance, Yan Yongjie didn't seem to be lying, so she withdrew her hand again.

The lama in yellow finally stammered and explained the dual cultivation of men and women.

It turns out that the lamas in this temple belong to the Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, and this Esoteric Buddhism regards the practice of sexual immorality as the supreme Dharma.When the lamas of the past dynasties here practiced dual cultivation of men and women, they did not hesitate to kill their wives and daughters, or buy women to be Ming concubines and wise women.These women who entered Lamaism actually became the sex slaves of the master living Buddha and his disciples.

After hearing this, Yan Yongjie was furious, and kicked the lama in yellow again.

"Where did you take the kidnapped girls?"

"With the master, he will arrange for the disciples to practice." The lama in yellow was trembling.

"Take us there." Yan Yongjie said sharply.

The lama in yellow dared not obey, he stood up scrambling, and under the escort of Chen Siguo, he honestly led them to the master's room.

The vast snow, the strong winds, the power of nature, even more shows the insignificance of human beings.

Zhou Tong was lying on the thick snow. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. When he opened his eyes, the snow had stopped, and the sky was full of stars, which was exceptionally brilliant.Most of his body was already covered in snow, and although he was wearing thick cold and waterproof clothing, his limbs were still almost frozen.He struggled hard to get out of the snow, although his movements were stiff, but fortunately he had all four limbs and was still conscious.Jin Duo'er was lying beside him, but she was still motionless, and she didn't know whether it was life or death.

Zhou Tong dragged her out of the snowdrift with great effort, probed her nose with one hand, she was still breathing, it seemed that she just passed out.He raised his head, and through the starlight, he could vaguely see the huge tree branches protruding from the cliff above his head.If it weren't for these branches and the thick snow on the ground, I'm afraid they would have died long ago.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Jin Duo'er also woke up under Zhou Tong's shaking.She was also surprised to find that both herself and Zhou Tong were safe, and she wept with joy.

The two of them picked up the dropped equipment and sorted it out before they began to carefully look at the surrounding environment.

The place where they fell was much larger than it looked from above. The entire deep ditch was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with towering cliffs on both sides, and a huge glacier behind them. There was only a long channel that curved and spread in front. Where does it lead.

The two had no choice but to follow the only path forward.

Zhou Tong never had trouble with himself. Although he was in danger, he still had to eat. Fortunately, not only did he escape death, but they also picked up all the food they brought.

Driven by Zhou Tong, the two walked and ate all the way, not like people in distress at all, but like tourists who came to play.

"Brother Zhou Tong, are you not worried at all?" Jin Duo'er felt more and more that this Han boy was different.

"I'm worried that I can't solve the problem. What can solve the problem now is the one in my hand." Zhou Tong smiled and took a bite of the glutinous rice cake in his hand.

Jin Duo'er also laughed when she heard the words, but soon her complexion sank again, she looked at Zhou Tong and asked seriously, "Why didn't you let go just now?"

Zhou Tong felt a little embarrassed when she stared at her like that, scratched her head, and said, "I never thought about this problem, I just wanted to drag you up."

Jin Duo'er withdrew her gaze, remained silent, walked with her head down for a while in silence, then raised her head and said, "Thank you."

"It is said that Tibetan girls are bold and generous, but you look like a lady from the south of the Yangtze River." Zhou Tong teased.

The two were talking and laughing. After passing through a narrow gap, the front suddenly opened up, and a bonfire burning in the distance was actually seen.

There are about a dozen wooden houses scattered around the campfire, like a village.

The two of them immediately crawled down carefully, and Jin Duo'er took out the telescope from the backpack.

"Snowman!" Jin Duo'er whispered, and by the light of the fire, a group of people with white fluff on their bodies clearly appeared in the lens of the telescope dancing around the bonfire in a strange posture.

Zhou Tong took the telescope in Jin Duoer's hand and observed it carefully.

"I see." Zhou Tong looked at it for a while, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing his white teeth.

"What did you see?" Jin Duo'er was a little puzzled by Zhou Tong's reaction.

Zhou Tong didn't answer, and pulled Jin Duo'er to quietly approach the "Snowman" village from the side.

When she was about ten meters away from the bonfire, Jin Duoer suddenly realized that the "snowmen" she saw were real people, but they were all wearing white fur clothes and hats, with only their nose and eyes exposed. If you don't look carefully, you will really think it is a monster.

But even so, this village is really weird.In addition to wearing very special clothes, the people in the village actually built the village in such a secluded location in the snow-capped mountains, as if deliberately avoiding crowds.The climate conditions in the snow-capped mountains are harsh, the environment is harsh, and there is a lack of food. I don't know how they survive here.

"Abba was arrested by them." Jin Duo'er said with certainty.

"Your father and Zhuoga may be locked in a room in these wooden houses." Zhou Tong observed the surrounding situation, and continued: "They seem to be doing some kind of ceremony now. Taking this opportunity, I will Look for it in a wooden house, but too many people can easily expose the target, you stay here and observe, I will look for it."

Jin Duoer nodded, and said softly: "Be careful."

"You too."

Zhou Tong held his breath and concentrated, and under the cover of night, began to search the wooden houses.

The wooden houses are all built very solidly. A wooden house probably has three or four rooms, and the layout is reasonable, which takes a lot of thought.However, the windows are all made of wooden slats, and it is very difficult to see the inside from the outside.Zhou Tong had no choice but to slip into the wooden house and check each room.

Fortunately, things went better than expected, and soon he found Kangba and Zhuoga tied up in a wooden house.

Kangba and Zhuoga did not expect that Zhou Tong would find them, and they were pleasantly surprised for a while.

Zhou Tong first tore off the cloth strips from their mouths, then took out a Tibetan knife from Kangba's house from his waist, and cut the ropes on their bodies.

"How did you find this place?" Zhuoga tore off the rope on his body.

"It's a long story." Zhou Tong remembered the scene of falling into the deep ditch, and still had lingering fears, "Who are these people? Why did they arrest you here?"

"I don't know either. I've been locked up here since I was arrested, and no one came to question me." Zhuoga was also at a loss.

It's just that Kangba's face was a little dignified, hesitant to speak.

"Do you know who they are?" Zhuoga saw that Kham seemed to know something, so he asked in Tibetan.

Zhou Tong also looked at Kangba with puzzled eyes.

Kangba shook his head, with concern in his expression.

At this moment, Zhou Tong remembered that he had seen the totem of Tibetan Esotericism in Kangba's house. Could it be that this incident has something to do with Esotericism?

At this time, the door of the wooden house was suddenly knocked open, and a group of "snowmen" in white plush coats rushed in with steel forks in their hands, and surrounded the three of them ferociously.

The leader of them held a steel fork against Zhou Tong's neck, and asked, "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Zhou Tong froze in place, he didn't expect how these people who were just performing the ceremony would suddenly break in, and he couldn't understand what this person was saying, so he could only look at Zhuoga.

Zhuoga also stood up quickly at this time, and said in Tibetan for Zhou Tong: "He is Han, so he doesn't understand what you are saying. We are the police, so please don't mess around."

These people didn't expect that the other party would be a policeman, and they were stunned when they heard Zhuoga say that.

The leader bowed his head and whispered to the people around him, looked at Zhuoga and asked, "What credentials do you have?"

Zhuoga immediately took out his police badge, which he has been accustomed to carrying with him for many years.

The leader looked at the police badge and put down the steel fork in his hand.

Zhou Tong touched his neck subconsciously.

"How did you find this place? Is there anyone else?" The leader asked Zhou Tong directly in Chinese this time.

Zhou Tong was still not sure who the other party was and whether he was malicious, so he didn't tell the truth.

"There is no one else. I found this place based on the traces you left behind. Who are you and why are you arresting us?"

These people were a little surprised, and couldn't believe that Zhou Tong could have such an ability, but the fact was right in front of him, he had indeed found this extremely secret village.

The leader frowned, unable to make up his mind for a while.

After thinking for a while, he finally made a decision, waved his hand and said, "Take them to meet the 'Guardian'."

Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo followed the lama in yellow to the door of the "Master" room.

But the room was dark and silent.

"Why is there no one inside?" Yan Yongjie lowered her voice, clenched her fists, and looked at the lama in yellow fiercely.

"In...in the secret room." The lama in yellow shivered as soon as he thought of the pain he felt just now.

"Go in." Chen Siguo kicked the lama in yellow politely.

The lama in yellow entered the room, walked to a censer in the corner, and twisted the censer back and forth.

Just hearing a "bang", the inner wall of the room moved out slowly and heavily, and a winding staircase leading to the underground appeared in front of my eyes.

"right here……"

Before the lama in yellow finished speaking, Yan Yongjie slapped him hard on the back of the head, knocking him out.

"Let's go down." Yan Yongjie was bold and bold, and went down the secret road.

Although Chen Siguo knew that Yan Yongjie possessed special skills, he didn't dare to be careless, and followed behind with both hands holding the pistol tightly.

The stairs are in a spiral shape, and oil lamps are hung every few meters on the stone wall. Although the light is dim, the stone steps can barely be seen.Yan Yongjie touched the stone wall with her hand, and it was rough and full of cracks. It can be inferred that the secret room was built a long time ago.

The two walked down the stairs slowly, their steps were light, and they made almost no sound in order not to startle the snake.

The stairs are far longer than expected, and it takes about ten meters to reach the end.

A somewhat damp secret passage, not far from a half-hidden stone door.There are still flickering oil lamps on both sides of the secret passage, and there are some totems of evil beasts on the stone walls on both sides, which adds a bit of weird atmosphere to the whole secret room.

Yan Yongjie gave Chen Siguo a look, and then made a gesture.

Chen Siguo understood immediately, adjusted his position to the other side of the secret passage, and the two of them approached the stone door side by side quietly.

Through the gap in the stone gate, a surprising picture appeared in front of them.

On a stone bed, lay a naked woman, and on top of the woman was a man wrapped in a black robe.

The man in black was holding a sharp knife in his hand, and was gesticulating on the woman's body. As long as he exerted a little force, the knife could pierce the woman's skin.

The naked woman's skin was smooth and delicate, and the tiny sweat beads fluctuated with her breathing, reflecting a faint yellow halo.It's just that the man in black was in front of him, so Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo couldn't see the naked woman's face.

At this time, the naked woman seemed to have some consciousness, twisted her body slightly, and turned her head to the side.

Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo finally saw the naked woman's face at this time, they were shocked for a moment, their hearts sank, and they couldn't hold back anymore, they kicked the stone door open at the same time.

The naked woman turned out to be Chang Ning.

"Don't move, put down the knife!" Chen Siguo and Yan Yongjie, one on the left and one on the right, raised their guns to the head of the man in black, fully on guard, as long as the knife in his hand dared to move, they would shoot without hesitation .

The man in black really didn't move, as if his whole body had been petrified.

"Stand up slowly." Chen Siguo ordered.

The man in black stood up slowly.

"Throw the knife aside and turn around slowly."

The man in black threw the sharp knife aside and turned around.He wore a ferocious iron mask on his face, which looked particularly terrifying under the dim oil lamp.

"Take off the mask!" Chen Siguo's palms were already slightly sweating.

The man in black raised his hand, but suddenly changed direction, instead of going up, he pressed to a stone pillar on the right.

Yan Yongjie who was on the side had already been on guard and pulled the trigger without hesitation, and Chen Siguo fired after him.

However, something unimaginable happened. Several bullets passed through the body of the man in black robe, but his movement was not slowed down at all. His hand pressed down on a protruding stone on the stone pillar.

Without making any sound, the man in black robe disappeared out of thin air under the watchful eyes of Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo like an illusory shadow.

Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo were completely shocked by this series of incredible, even supernatural scenes.

However, when Yan Yongjie saw Chang Ning on the stone bed at this moment, she had no time to think about what happened just now, so she immediately took off her coat and put it on her body.

Chen Siguo also came back to his senses, and turned his head away in embarrassment.

"Notify the special criminal investigation team immediately, seal off the temple, and conduct a thorough search here!" Yan Yongjie hugged the unconscious Chang Ning tightly, and said solemnly.

Section 9 Guardian

Escorted by a group of "snowmen", Zhou Tong, Zhuoga and Kangba left the village and walked along a path beside the village to a towering mountain.

The strong wind and heavy snow during the day have disappeared, and the night sky on the plateau is clear and transparent, full of stars and dazzling stars.

The crowd climbed up the mountain, turned around a few times, passed through the intertwined gaps between the glaciers, and came to a cave.

There are also "snowmen" guarding the entrance of the cave, which is heavily guarded.

"You three go in with me." The leader-like "snowman" pointed at Zhou Tong and the three of them.

Hearing the words, the other "snowmen" originally surrounded Zhou Tong and the three of them, but now they separated in an orderly manner and stood guard on both sides of the cave entrance.

Zhou Tong looked at Zhuoga at this moment.

Zhuoga's eyes just happened to turn to him, and both of them showed surprise in their eyes.These "snowmen" are well-trained, capable, powerful, and agile. They must have been trained, and they are not like ordinary people.

However, Kangba's expression was a little abnormal, and there was some excitement in his expression.

The three of them followed the leading snowman into the cave.

The inside of the cave is very spacious, with torches around it, the flames are blazing, much warmer than outside.However, there are also many forks in the cave. If someone hadn't taken them with them, the three of them would probably get lost in it.

After walking through the cave for about ten minutes, I finally came to a stone room door.

The leading "snowman" knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." An old voice floated out from the stone room.

The stone door was slowly opened, and an elegant stone room appeared in front of everyone. Although the layout was simple, every piece of furniture was very delicate and elegant. It was hard to imagine such a place in the depths of the snow-capped mountains.

There is a mahogany tea table in the middle of the stone room, surrounded by several round wooden benches, and exquisite tea sets are placed on the tea table.
