Chapter 84. [Case 14] The mastermind behind the scenes
With a loud bang, the originally not strong glass of the van shattered into many particles. It was just stuck together because of the film, and only a few fell off. The man's frightened cry came from inside the car.
Hu Zongren still knocked on the glass one after another. Probably this guy thought that Hu Zongren was about to get in, so he moved to the door on the other side, opened the door and ran towards the back of the car along the road.
Not to mention that his behavior is simply overestimating his ability, because for many years, I have been proud of all the people in the industry with my unique skill of escaping. He is no match for me when it comes to running. Besides, running like this is really dangerous. We just want to ask.
The truth came to light, and I didn't want him to suffer any harm or danger. So I chased him out. After running a few dozen meters, I rushed forward, hugged his waist with both hands, and pushed him down.
On the ground, he struggled a few times at first, but soon gave up. It wasn't until he got off the car that I discovered that his body type was relatively thin, so no matter what the comparison was, it was impossible for Hu Zongren and I to take advantage of him.
Downwind. When I thought I had stabilized this guy, I twisted his hand behind his back, and he screamed in pain. I just held him there and walked back to the van.
Hu Zongren got into the car, turned on the double flashing lights of the van, opened the sliding door on the right side of the car, and then grabbed the man from the inside. I didn't get in, but stood at the door.
Watching outside. I asked the man, whether you want to tell me or not, who asked you to follow me. The man still refused to speak, but judging from his expression, he must regret what he did, but he didn’t know
For whatever reason, he still refused to speak. So I said to him, you should know that if you don't tell us the truth today, you will never be able to leave here. Hu Zongren also said, yes,
Now that you have started to follow us, you should know what we do or what we have done. I, Lao Hu, don’t have so many worries. If you don’t say anything today, at worst we will just spend more time checking it out. Then
It's not a big deal, but your life may not be so easy.
The man's eyebrows twitched, as if he was a little tempted. I then told him, if you really don't want to say it, that's okay. Later we will climb over the railing, tie you up and throw you into the pile of rocks. You won't die.
, but I’m afraid you have to walk slowly from here to the nearest place with people. Hu Zongren said with a smile, take off your clothes and pants before tying him up, it’s original! Although I am well aware of Hu Zongren’s perversion, at this moment
I also knew that he was deliberately scaring the man. Sure enough, after hearing this, the man suddenly said to us with a sad face, please let me go. I was also entrusted to do this. Hu Zongren asked him
He said, "Then tell us who the person who asked you to come is, and we will not make it difficult for you."
The man was silent for a while and said, I don't know that person's name, I only know that she is a woman, and I have a single line of contact with her.
Women? I hate women the most. When it comes to playing dirty, they are many times more cruel than men. I asked the man, how did that woman find you? The man said, it was because I once owed him a big brother.
For money, she went to her senior brother and said that she needed someone to help monitor you two. In this case, the account would be offset. When I heard the title of senior brother, I knew that this woman must be someone in our industry, because in today's society
In relationships, it is rare for people to call each other senior brother and junior sister. I asked the man, who is his senior brother? You tell us the name and we will check it ourselves. The man said, I dare not say this, I can’t mess with these people.
Come on, even if you really kill me and leave me here today, I dare not tell you his name.
Hu Zongren stood up. Because he was tall, he couldn't stand up straight at all. He kicked the man in the thigh and threatened fiercely, "If you can't offend him, can you offend us? That man
After calling twice, he didn't answer Hu Zongren's question, but kept begging for mercy. I saw that he wouldn't say anything anymore, so I opened the front door and found the car that this man had put on the dashboard.
The phone number, I told him, it doesn’t matter if you don’t tell him. I can always find the person on the phone if I look for them one by one.
That man may have forgotten his phone and left it there. When I got the phone, I knew I couldn't resist anymore, but he still didn't tell us who the senior brother was. He just bent over and cried in pain.
I put the phone in my bag, then walked to the back of my car and took out a length of zip ties. I often have these strange things in my car. The zip ties can help me fix a lot of things in the trunk that get swayed when turning.
The dangling things can occasionally be used to tie up other people's hands and feet. I took out two of them and returned to the van, and then tied up the man's hands and feet with tie ties. Don't underestimate this small one.
The plastic rope, without scissors, is generally impossible to untie and is easier to use than handcuffs. After getting off the car, I said to the man, in this case, I will not continue to make it difficult for you. If anyone asks you about it in the future,
Just say that you were discovered by us when you were following us. It has nothing to do with you. In this way, your senior brother friend will not make things difficult for you. You must pay back the money you owe. Don't imitate helping others like in the movies.
Working hard is not a gangster.
I then said to him, when we arrive in Chongqing, we will call someone to rescue you. After Hu Zongren got out of the car with me, he touched the man's face with a loving look, and then walked away laughing.
When he passed by the door of the van, he opened the door, took out the car key, and said to the man, "We took the key away, after all, you don't need it now." Then he went back to the car with me and walked away.
go.
Since we knew that someone was following and monitoring us, Hu Zongren and I did not dare to continue walking on the main road. Instead, we got off the road at the next exit of the expressway and found the old road back to Chongqing. In a place that seemed relatively secluded, we
First, I called Hu Zongren’s cell phone with the phone I just confiscated, and asked him to save the number so that we can investigate later. Then I threw the phone to Hu Zongren and said, look at this.
Do any of these numbers look familiar to you, such as people from Xuanyuanhui? Hu Zongren looked through them and said, "How can I remember so many numbers? I just have to call one." I said, which one are you going to call? Hu Zongren
Pointing to a number on the phone, he said, "Look at the outgoing and incoming call records. This number has called each other more than ten times today alone. This person should be the mastermind behind the scenes, but we don't know exactly who it is."
Senior brother is still the same woman.
Hu Zongren called back according to the number on the call record, and then turned on the hands-free mode. On the quiet rural road, the ringing tone of the phone seemed so harsh. After more than ten rings, the phone was picked up, and Hu and I
Zong Ren didn't speak, and neither did the other party. After a few seconds, the other party asked, where are they two now? Are they done?
It was a woman's voice. This voice sounded familiar to me. When I was thinking about where I had heard it before, Hu Zongren suddenly said, "Well, it's done." The other person was stunned and asked in a panic, "Who are you?"
Hu Zongren sneered and said, who else can I be? I am whoever you fucking follow! What do you mean, classmate Zhao Jing?
Only then did I remember that this familiar voice turned out to be the mysterious girl Zhao Jing that Hu Zongren and I met earlier in the printing factory. After meeting her that day, Hu Zongren and I had asked someone to inquire about her.
After looking at her origins, I only found out that her master was an old senior in the Taoist community. He had passed away a few years ago. After his death, Zhao Jing probably studied with his senior brother or someone for a few more years before leaving the apprenticeship and starting to travel around the world. This old man
We have only heard about the senior but never met him. The master's sect is mysterious, and this senior, together with Master Situ and many other masters, successfully wiped out everyone when Chongqing suffered a severe drought in the 1990s.
I was a middle school student at that time. The first time I saw her in the printing factory, I was just afraid of this girl because I hated having too much contact with girls all day long because I thought they were delicate and troublesome.
But I never dared to look at Zhao Jing, and I was still a little scared. As for what I was afraid of, I couldn’t tell you. Her appearance in Hu Zongren and I’s world before was too brief, and she was so mysterious that it left me with a feeling.
I feel like "don't mess with this woman", even though she is a beauty, she is still so young.
When I heard Hu Zongren call out her name, I was surprised at first. Then I took out my phone and checked the number. It was indeed Zhao Jing's. Zhao Jing heard Hu Zongren call her name on the other end of the phone.
, and then said with a smile, it seems that the person I found is not very effective, what did you do to him? His tone was a bit frivolous, as if he was convinced of us. Hu Zongren said, stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly
Why are you following us, and how did you know that we are in Sichuan? I didn’t expect you to be such a sinister woman. I really underestimated you.
Zhao Jing sneered and said, since you have discovered it, I will tell you directly. Do you think it was a coincidence that I met you two bastards at the printing factory that night? You are so stupid, even the printing factory
That business was all brought to you in a roundabout way, in order to let you two see me that night. It's just that I made a miscalculation. I didn't expect that I was secretly looking for someone to follow and protect you, but I found someone.
A straw bag.
I noticed the two words Zhao Jing used here, one is "us" and the other is "protection". Who is "us"? Is there an organization behind Zhao Jing? If the case in the printing factory was what she wanted
The method was grafted onto us, so the so-called divination and noble people of the printing factory owner at the time were all nonsense to make us fall into the trap. Moreover, the female ghost in the printing factory at that time made us confused and gave him away.
I left without knowing the whole story. Is this all a ruse? Speaking of which, Hu Zongren and I had gone through thirteen cases together before this, and one of them involved Zhao Jing and her people pretending to be Xuanyuan Hui.
The fake case given to us? And what does Zhao Jing mean by "protecting us"?
I quickly analyzed it in my mind. Although I was still very confused, I was sure of at least two points. First, Zhao Jing knew about the agreement between us and the Xuanyuan Society on the twenty-four cases, and maybe her circle
There were people from the Xuanyuan Hui here, but I couldn’t tell whether they were friends or foes. Secondly, this woman created a chance encounter with good intentions, and was able to trick Hu Zongren and I into believing it was true.
