Guangzhou, a modern city in the South China. Both sides of the road are shaded by trees and surrounded by flowers. High-rise buildings rise from the ground among the flowers, soaring into the sky.
May has not yet arrived, and people in southern China are used to it and don’t feel the heat. Xiong Shuhong got off the plane and felt the heat was unbearable. She was fat and panting heavily, as if she didn’t have enough oxygen. She stayed at the Liuyun Hotel in South Station, Liuyun
The Yun Hotel was booked by a Hong Kong person. It was convenient to go to and from Hong Kong. She washed her face and contacted the Guangzhou person eagerly. This Guangzhou person was assigned by Wu Baoheng, with bodyguards and translators. This person came, and his Mandarin was okay.
Xiong Shuhong understood. He said that the Hong Kong people had already arrived and lived on the upper floor. Xiong Shuhong and the others couldn't wait to go upstairs. The Hong Kong people were not young, and they were polite and received her warmly. Xiong Shuhong didn't want to be verbose, so he asked directly:
"Did you bring the money?"
The Hong Kong man stretched out his hand, but did not answer immediately. This is not a gangster society. Whether the business can be done or not depends on the money. However, he did not want to embarrass Xiong Shuhong, raised his chin, and his subordinates carried a big bag, which was very heavy.
Open the zipper. There are thousands of Hong Kong dollars rolled up inside.
Xiong Shuhong smiled. Wu Baoheng was trustworthy and acted so authentically. She took out the pair of jade bracelets from her bag and handed them to the Hong Kong people. The Hong Kong people looked at them carefully, took out a magnifying glass, looked at them for a while, and handed over the jade bracelets.
They gave it to their subordinates, who also looked at it carefully, and then showed it to the people in Guangzhou. After everyone looked over it, the people in Hong Kong returned the jade bracelet to Xiong Shuhong. He took out the contract from the briefcase, both in Chinese and English, and handed it over.
Xiong Shuhong.
The goods are here, the money is here, just exchange. Xiong Shuhong didn’t know that she still had to sign a contract. She didn’t want to sign a contract. She said:
"It's not like we haven't seen the goods yet. You give me money and I give you a jade bracelet. Once we exchange it, what kind of contract will we sign?"
Hong Kong people didn’t understand. He became anxious and spoke Hong Kong vernacular. He said:
"When it comes to taxes, if you don't sign a contract, the government will think it's private goods. That's definitely not going to work."
Xiong Shuhong had no choice but to pick up the contract. There were two copies of the contract. If he signed it, the Hong Kong people would take one copy and keep the other in his own hands. He couldn't see what would go wrong. Hong Kong people were in Hong Kong and they had no leaks.
There shouldn't be any problem. Xiong Shuhong can't understand the Hong Kong people. It seems that she can't take the money without signing the contract. She said:
"Just sign it. With such a large amount of money, you must keep it secret."
The Hong Kong people laughed and said:
"Secrecy is a jeweler's habit. You don't need to tell me, we will keep it secret."
Xiong Shuhong signed the contract in both Chinese and English one by one. The official seal on the contract was a long strip with blue ink pad, and Xiong Shuhong asked her to put her fingerprints on it. Xiong Shuhong was unhappy, and she said:
"You've already signed it, why do you need to print your fingerprints?"
"No. Your signature is not backed up in Hong Kong." The Hong Kong people's tone was very strong and could not be refuted.
Xiong Shuhong had no choice but to press the fingerprints one by one under the guidance of the Hong Kong people. The work was neat and clear.
Without bothering to eat, Xiong Shuhong took the money and, accompanied by people from Guangzhou of Gonggong Jewelry, returned to the provincial capital on the last flight overnight. Everything was done so secretly that no one knew.
With the help of his mother, Xiong Shuhong, Jia Zheng took the fungus and left the dreamlike Guizhou. That place fascinated him, but also accompanied it with nightmares. Jia Zheng would not stop there. He returned to the provincial capital, took a breath, and would come back to pursue that place.
Help the villains.
Jia Zheng was in danger in Guizhou. Junzi went to Yunnan and felt that it was not peaceful enough.
Junzi was cunning and set up a trap in Kunming, Yunnan. He let the police escape and got rid of the killer who was chasing him. He no longer used Li Mandun's ID card. He spent money to ride on passing cars in the service area of the highway.
He drove a large truck in the opposite direction for a while, took other roads, and then entered Yunnan diagonally. He stopped at a small border village in Yunnan near Myanmar.
There are many small villages on the border of Yunnan, and the scenery is still the same, crossing the border is the virgin forest of Myanmar. The villagers live on the mountains, and they have to walk long distances to communicate with each other. Due to the remoteness, the opposite side is the virgin forest, which has become a trap for stowaways.
It is a paradise. The villagers do not travel far, and it is like a foreign country. Visitors will be received if they pay money, and they will be fed and accommodated without asking where they came from.
It is convenient for Yunruo to leave the country. There are several small roads that are very secretive. However, you need local people to lead the way. If you go alone, if you go wrong and enter the virgin forest, you will either be eaten by wild animals or stung to death by leeches. Even if
It's just good luck. If you don't see the sun and have no direction in the primeval forest, you will starve to death. The fungus has to wait in Yunruo. There is a guide who likes money and will take him to Myanmar. He will avoid disaster there and start a new life.
Fungus gave the landlord more money, and the landlord was happy. He arranged for him to live in a separate house outside the house. The house was newly built, and the bamboo building still smelled of tender bamboo. It was separated from the owner's residence by a banana forest, which made it more private.
The house was originally built by the owner for his son's wife, and the quilts were all new, making it very comfortable to live in.
The fungus could not be found for the time being, so policeman Zhang Hao became anxious and stepped up the pursuit. He called Zheng Xingzhong again to find out the clues about the bear's whereabouts.
At this time, Zheng Xingzhong had already brought Er Ding to Xiaoxian County. The Xiaoxian County was surrounded by mountains, and the road came along the river bank. There was a steep slope to the county seat, and it was quite difficult to drive the car. Zheng Xingzhong found
I missed the aunt and rushed to the injured gambler's house without taking any time to rest. There were two rows of five-story buildings facing each other halfway up the slope, with one side leaning against the mountain. After entering the community, I found myself in the opening of a building.
A banner was hung, and one side of the banner fell off. It read: Paying debts is a matter of course. The dirt under the banner has been cleaned up, but it still smells bad. Zheng Xingzhong entered the building. On the second floor, a door opened
Black paint was splashed on the house and it was a mess. When I asked for the name of the owner of the house, no one could tell me. They all said he had gone away and had been gone for a long time. Zheng Xingzhong didn't know where to start looking for traces of the bear.
"How many major roads into the city are there outside the city?" Er Ding asked his aunt.
"Two, one is along the river, which is the one you came from, and the other is a big road, which is the way into the mountains." Auntie said.
"Brother Zhong, go outside the city and take a look on the way into the mountains." Er Ding said to Zheng Xingzhong.
There is a road into the mountains in the small county. It is not big and can accommodate two cars side by side. Er Ding saw a car parked outside the city. He went over and tapped the window. The driver put down the window glass. Er Ding handed it over first.
The driver refused the last cigarette. Er Ding asked:
"Brother, how far is this road to get out of the mountain?"
"This road is impassable. There is a river more than ten miles away. It used to lead to the dock, but now the boats are closed and there are no people walking there," the driver replied.
Er Ding was suspicious that this road was impassable. They stayed here for a while, and cars passed by from time to time, driving very fast. He thought for a while and said to Zheng Xingzhong:
"Brother Zhong, stay here for a while, I'll go over and take a look."
"If you want to go, let's go together." Zheng Xingzhong was worried and said to Er Ding.
There are many mountains in the small county, and the highway is also sandwiched. Fortunately, the road is flat. They drove slowly and watched both sides to avoid missing any suspicious spots. After traveling for more than ten kilometers, the highway seemed to have reached an end. A person appeared in front of them.
The cave, the cave is on the edge of the mountain. It is bright and dark at times. I don’t know how deep it is. They got off the car and stopped on the side of the road. Er Ding wanted to smoke a cigarette and look at the situation around him. A man came out of the cave, and it seemed that there was someone there.
It was urgent and we were in a hurry. Er Ding passed by, first handing over the cigarette and saying:
"Brother, is the whiteboard here?"
Bai Ban is a subordinate of Xiong Zong, and Er Ding knows him. He estimates that Bai Ban will also follow him to the small county, hoping to hit him by mistake.
The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said:
"I'm a gambler. I've lost a lot and I'm going back to get some money. I don't recognize the whiteboard. I think I heard someone shouting. Why, do you want to go in and play a few games too?"
"I've never been here before, and I want to give it a try. I don't know if it's safe or not," Er Ding said.
"As long as you have money, feel free to go. If there is any disturbance on the cruise ship, just start the boat and run away. It is very safe." After that, the man left.
When the man walked away, Erding said to Zheng Xingzhong:
"It seems so. There is a river here, so it may be difficult to catch."
"Don't worry, the police have plenty of solutions. The key is to know if Xiong is on the boat." Last time, Xiong escaped, and Zheng Xingzhong was worried that Xiong would escape again.
Zheng Xingzhong reported to Zhang Hao the situation in the small county. Zhang Hao was very happy and encouraged him not to worry, as all underground casinos must be caught. It was a great achievement to open this gambling den. Zhang Hao did not dare to be careless and took care of it himself.
After getting married, he rushed from Wei City to Xiaoxian County.
The police devised an arrest plan. With the assistance of the small county police, they disguised themselves as fishermen and surrounded the gamblers from the river, forcing the gamblers to run to the shore. The boat was blocked and had no way to go ashore, so they had to go up the road through the cave.
That night, small boats surrounded an underground gambling boat. A siren sounded, and the gamblers on board the boat panicked and swarmed toward the entrance of the cave. The policemen guarding the entrance of the highway succeeded and came out to catch each one with great ease.
Zheng Xingzhong stood guard at the entrance of the cave. After arresting the people, there was no trace of the bear. He asked the thugs blocking the scene and it was confirmed that they were Xiong Zhong's group. Without any trace of the bear, Zheng Xingzhong felt heartbroken. How could he be allowed to escape? Zheng Xingzhong picked up the flashlight.
, entered the cave. The walls of the cave were intertwined with teeth. When Zheng Xingzhong was walking more than half way, he heard a slight gasp on the cave wall, and looked sideways at a trembling foot on the cave wall, wearing leather shoes. He pretended not to know, but still
He walked forward, walked past, suddenly turned around, and the flashlight light shone directly on the man. The man stepped on the sharp stone, and clasped the sharp stone corners with his hands. He could no longer stand and fell from the top. The man
Without making a sound, he pulled out the knife from his waist and rushed towards Zheng Xingzhong. Zheng Xingzhong didn't know if he was a bear trace, but he only knew that he had to survive. The cave was narrow and was not conducive to fists and feet. Zheng Xingzhong turned sideways to avoid the knife and grabbed it with both hands.
With his wrist, he hit his arm against the sharp stone on the cave wall. The impact was so hard that the man screamed and dropped the knife. Another one fell from the cave wall, and then another fell from behind. Zheng Xingzhong felt
It's difficult. The cave is narrow, even if there are ten or eight, they are only facing one, and slowly clear it up. There are opponents in front and behind, and Zheng Xingzhong is still a little nervous. He picked up the one who fell on the ground and strangled him with his arms.
His neck was close to the cave wall. In this way, he could notice the opponents on both sides with his peripheral vision.
"Don't shoot, there are police on both sides." The man behind him lowered his voice and shouted nervously.
Hearing that there was a gun, Zheng Xingzhong was really nervous. He strangled this man's neck with one hand and touched his body with the other. Sure enough, he felt a pistol on his back waistband. He had the pistol ready with one hand.
, suddenly pushed the man in his arms outward and fired a shot at the top of the cave. He slid down, the stone wall of the cave was sharp, and there was blood on his back. There was a loud sound of gunfire in the cave.
"Son of a bitch, who asked you to shoot?" someone cursed.
It was Xiong Xu, the one in front. It was dark in the cave, and no one could see who was who. Zheng Xingzhong rushed towards the person who spoke, and the two of them twisted into a ball and rolled on the rubble in the cave.
Hearing gunshots in the cave, the police attacked from both ends and arrested the three gangsters in the cave. Xiong was among them.
Zheng Xingzhong was injured. He had several cuts made by sharp stones on his back. After some treatment in Xiaoxian, he climbed into the back seat of the car and asked Erding to pull him back to Weishi.
Xiong Zheng did not escape. He was charged with illegal possession of firearms. Instead of entering the Xiaoxian Detention Center, he was taken back to Wei City in a police car.
When he arrived at Weishi, Zhang Hao did not take a break and directly interrogated Xiong Zang. He said:
"Tell me, who took the jade wool from your hand?"
Xiong Zong felt strange. He was clearly arrested in a casino. He was not guilty of opening an underground casino privately, but he asked about the jade wool. Maybe something happened because Junzi and the others were fighting over the jade wool. This had nothing to do with him, Xiong Zong. He was willing to say
Even though he couldn’t mention Jia Zheng, he still expected Jia Zheng to save him. He said:
"What's wrong? Jade wool has nothing to do with me."
"Ask you who took the jade wool from your hands. Don't answer the question incorrectly." Zhang Hao said sternly.
"It's the fungus. The fungus was taken from my hand." Xiong Zheng would never mention Jia Zheng, who was his hope.
"It's so heavy, how can the fungi be moved alone? Who else is there?" Zhang Hao asked.
"There are still tigers." Xiong Zong was very thief. He never finished his sentence at once, just waiting for the police to squeeze out the toothpaste. Squeeze a little while he said a little. This would make it easier for the police to believe him.
Zhang Hao's heart suddenly became alert. He remained calm and asked again:
"Who is Tiger? What is his real name?"
"No one knows who Tiger is. Even the name Tiger is known to very few people. The accent sounds like Wei Shi. He said he is Burmese, some people say he is Thai, but no one can tell clearly.
"I really don't know the origins of tigers and bears," he said.
"What other characteristics does a tiger have?" Zhang Hao asked him.
"Tiger never unbuttons his shirt, and his cuffs are tightly buttoned. He probably has a tattoo. Half of his wrist is exposed with a black ring, the kind that is said to button up a dragon's nose." Xiong Zong said.
This tiger is the right number. Zheng Xingzhong was assassinated many times. He mentioned that his shirt cuffs were tightly buttoned and had half a black ring, the legendary type that ties a dragon's nose. This is a tiger.
"Who arranged for Tiger to work in your casino?" Zhang Hao asked him.
"I brought him from Fungus. He said he is very easy to use and can do anything. He doesn't need any money, just takes care of food, food, and housing. I'm greedy for cheap, so I used him." Xiong Zong said, and there was no leakage.
Zhang Hao still had to digest Xiong Zong's confession. He continued to interrogate the casino case. He went to Zheng Xingzhong in person, firstly to tell him about the tiger's condition, so that Zheng Xingzhong would pay more attention to him in the future, and also to take a look at his injuries.
Zheng Xingzhong's injuries are not serious. The few cuts are all skin injuries. They will heal in a few days. Zheng Xingzhong has only one request, that he must not let Zuo Junxiao know about it. If she finds out, it will be very troublesome. He is afraid that she will cry.
Zhang Hao remained silent, unable to agree to him. As he said that, Zhang Hao's cell phone rang, and there was another case. Zheng Xingzhong still had unfinished words, so Zhang Hao hurriedly returned to the police station.
A bad police report was received. There was a corpse in Yunruo, a small village on the border of Yunnan. He reported it to police stations across the country. The task force detectives found that it looked very much like a fungus. Zhang Hao arranged for people to go to Yunnan immediately to find out whether the corpse was that of Weishi.
Li Mandun's fungus. If the fungus dies, Zhang Hao will be caught off guard.
