Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 37 Zhou Tong Detective Series II: Blood Talisman (16)
Zhou Tong's face turned blue when he saw it, but what he thought was, if someone married Yan Yongjie as his wife, wouldn't it be necessary to change the furniture every few days.

"She... she... said... remember her, and you can find the talisman." Zhou Tong looked at Yan Yongjie and stammered.

"What do you mean by that? Are you kidding me?" Yan Yongjie said and raised her fist again.

Lin Danxi laughed as well, and said in blunt Chinese, "I can testify that she really said so."

Zhou Tong glanced at Lin Danxi gratefully.

"I don't understand what she means, but right now, we need to find the talisman at Ma'ershan first, and then the most important thing is to rescue the hostages." Zhou Tong thought of Li Ying, Ai Chen, Liu Qingte He and Qin Mengyao's safety could not help frowning.

"You decided to use a talisman to replace someone?" Yan Yongjie asked.

Zhou Tong heard the words, but asked back: "Yes, besides this, is there a better way?"

"No!" Lin Danxi drew out his golden knife and glared at Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong walked up to Lin Danxi without any fear, looked into his eyes and said, "Believe me, even if it takes my life, I will never let anyone step into the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan!"

Lin Danxi also looked at Zhou Tong, and the two of them looked at each other for a full minute, and finally Lin Danxi took the golden knife back with a "shua".

Yan Yongjie also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Danxi take back the golden knife, and said, "For now, let's find the talisman first."

Zhou Tong nodded and said, "Take me to the pattern of the zodiac horse. I want to see what the little problem Feng Tianrong said is."

With the help of Yan Yongjie and a group of special police, it became much easier to go to Ma'er Mountain again. At noon, Zhou Tong and others had successfully arrived at the half-hillside of Ma'er Mountain, where the zodiac horse pattern was.

In fact, the so-called zodiac horse pattern is covered with clay and uniform stones on the mountain. The image of a horse is clearly outlined on the hillside full of vegetation.

After careful searching, they found a hidden compartment on the back of the horse pattern of the zodiac. In the dark compartment, there is a strangely shaped copper ring with lines like clock scales on the ring. Each line corresponds to a zodiac. Patterns, the twelve zodiac patterns surround the surroundings in turn.

"So that's the problem Feng Tianrong was talking about!" Zhou Tong looked at the circle and began to think.

At this time, Yan Yongjie directed a group of experts to investigate there with various instruments and equipment, as if they wanted to open this secret compartment through other means.

But almost spent several hours, still nothing.

"It seems to be true. The cave they dug ends here. It seems that the stones inside have become very hard. However, we used detectors to find a large amount of metal underneath. It should be made of copper and sealed in the rock. inside, and I don’t know how the inside is designed, so it’s almost impossible to force it open, the only way is to crack the open copper ring.” Yan Yongjie gave up the idea of ​​taking another shortcut.

At this time, Zhou Tong had already found a big comfortable rock and lay down, basking in the sun with his eyes squinted.

Seeing that he didn't react at all, Yan Yongjie went up and kicked him.

"Still asleep, a man who has no sense of responsibility at all."

"I was thinking, but you interrupted me." Zhou Tong said while touching his painful buttocks.

"Then you've been thinking about it for so long, do you have any constructive suggestions?"

"Yes, of course, but this requires you to answer my question first!"

"Say it! I know you have a lot of tricks."

"From Genghis Khan to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, what is the order of the Mongolian emperor's birthday?" Zhou Tong asked seriously.

"You mean that the ring is like a combination lock, and the way to unlock it is to turn the scales corresponding to the positions of the zodiac in turn."

"Smart! You are worthy of being an excellent police officer of the special criminal investigation team."

"You're asking for a beating again. Why do I sound weird with your tone? It doesn't sound like a compliment at all?"

"Okay, okay, it's important." Zhou Tong immediately comforted Yan Yongjie, for fear that she would show her power again.

"It's very simple. There are many experts here, and they should know." Yan Yongjie said before turning around to ask the experts.

"No, this... I know." Lin Danxi said with a blushing face.

Zhou Tong laughed when he heard the words, and teased Lin Danxi: "Unexpectedly, in addition to your martial arts skills, you are also knowledgeable and knowledgeable!".

"As a Dalghut, it is a compulsory course to understand the history of your own nation." Lin Danxi touched his head and said, making such an action with his mighty image is really cute.

"Then let's talk quickly." Yan Yongjie was a little impatient.

Lin Danxi nodded, and then said as if reciting a family tree: "Genghis Khan and Wo Kuotai who ascended the throne behind him have the same zodiac sign as a horse; Yuan Shizu Kublai Khan's zodiac is a pig; Wuzong's zodiac is a snake; Renzong's zodiac is a chicken; Yingzong's zodiac is a chicken. The zodiac is the rabbit; Emperor Taiding's zodiac is the rat..."

While Lin Danxi said, Zhou Tong recorded the zodiac signs of each emperor with stones on the ground.

"Okay, you're done, leave the rest to me!" Zhou Tong read the zodiac records on the ground several times, and after confirming that he had memorized them well, he walked towards the secret compartment.

Zhou Tong first turned the ring clockwise to the position of the zodiac horse, then counterclockwise to the position of the zodiac horse, and then turned to the position of the zodiac pig, and turned it one by one corresponding to the zodiac signs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty. Turn counterclockwise once you encounter the same zodiac sign.

Everyone's breathing rose and fell rhythmically with the rotation of Zhou Tong's hands, and their eyes were fixed on the dark space without blinking.

After Zhou Tong finished turning all the zodiac signs, she stood up and waited quietly.

Hearing a "cluck", the copper ring in the dark compartment slid to the side, and a red brocade box appeared in front of his eyes.

Zhou Tong opened the brocade box carefully, and a blue halo made everyone's eyes bright.

"Amulet card!" Zhou Tong took out the talisman card from the brocade box.

Zhou Tong took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Except for the different lines and the text on the back, everything else was exactly the same as the talisman in his hand.

"Lin Danxi, what is written on the back of this talisman?" Zhou Tong handed the talisman to Lin Danxi without hesitation.

Lin Danxi took it over, looked at it, and said casually: "The mountain collapsed and the ground cracked." Before he finished speaking, the whole Ma'er Mountain seemed to start to vibrate, and rocks continued to fall from higher places.

"Everyone, run! It may have affected the mechanism." Zhou Tong quickly took the talisman from Lin Danxi, and then dragged Yan Yongjie to run down the mountain.

The others didn't dare to stay for long, and immediately scattered and retreated down the mountain. Fortunately, many of them are also agile SWAT members and can escort some experts.

The stones on the top of the mountain continued to collapse, eventually burying the entire place where the zodiac horse was drawn.

Of the people Yan Yongjie brought up the mountain, only a small number of them were hit by some gravel and were injured, but they were not seriously injured, and they finally got the talisman safely.

"Didn't I hear Liu Qingte say that the text on the back of each talisman indicates the position of another talisman, why does this one say 'landslide and earth crack', so the landslide and the earth cracked?" Lin Danxi said angrily. asked breathlessly.

"I have to ask the guy who put the talisman here in the first place. It's really messed up. If I slow down, I will die on it." Zhou Tong also shouted luck, and finally escaped from death.

"It's still the last piece, so you really have to remember her." Yan Yongjie didn't forget to remind Zhou Tong even though she was disheartened.

Three days later, Zhou Tong, Yan Yongjie and Lin Danxi returned to Yan Yongjie's home together.

Originally, Zhou Tong wanted to go back to school, but now that he was the only one left in the entire expedition team, he really didn't know how to explain to the principal, so he had to take refuge with Yan Yongjie.As for Lin Danxi, it was Tiexin who followed Zhou Tong, and he would never go back without getting the talisman kept by the Dalghuts.

But fortunately, although Yan Yongjie's house is not too big, it can barely accommodate three people.

After Yan Yongjie came back, she did not report Zhou Tong's plan to exchange hostages with talismans to the special criminal investigation team, because once this happened, Sun Yaoming would definitely obstruct Zhou Tong's actions from the standpoint of the overall situation, and the safety of the hostages would be at stake, but she He also knew that he couldn't hide it for too long, so he kept urging Zhou Tong to figure out the meaning of what Qin Mengyao left him as soon as possible.

Why is Zhou Tong distressed? This endless sentence is really puzzling. He can't help but start to complain about Qin Mengyao, and often complains to Lin Danxi: "I really don't understand what women are thinking about all day long. At this time You also give me difficult problems and play with your own life."

Lin Danxi didn't know how to comfort Zhou Tong, so he could only smile wryly.

But what they didn't expect was that, the second day after returning to Yan Yongjie's place, Li Xin came to visit her.

"Nice to see you again." Li Xin was confident.

Yan Yongjie gritted her teeth with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.

"I don't know what amazing news you brought us this time?" Zhou Tong asked.

"First of all, I congratulate you on finding another talisman, but they don't feel comfortable living there, so if you don't find the last talisman as soon as possible, I'm afraid..." Li Xin made a knife cut head movement.

"Are you here to threaten us?" Yan Yongjie said with clenched fists.

"Threat? You know, I used to be a surgeon, so what I'm good at is cutting people's bodies." Li Xin still had a smile on his face when he said this.

Lin Danxi immediately pulled out the golden knife when he heard the words, wishing to chop off the vicious woman in front of him.

"As long as any of them lose one hair, I swear, I will never let you go!" Zhou Tong blocked Lin Danxi with his hand, but the anger in his eyes was no less than that of Lin Danxi.

"I'm really scared, but before that, you should think about how to get the talisman." Li Xin curled her hair, and continued charmingly: "Actually, I'm here to help you, tell me Qin What Mengyao said to you that night, maybe I can give you some hints."

"Do you think we'll believe you?" Yan Yongjie didn't believe that the woman in front of her would be so kind.

"Don't believe me, just believe that our current goal is the same, that is to find the talisman." Li Xin said disapprovingly.

Zhou Tong felt a little conflicted. Although Li Xin was their enemy, she was indeed the closest person to Qin Mengyao, and she was right. At least they wanted to find the talisman now, so they shouldn't be misleading. So, should you trust her?After thinking for a while, Zhou Tong finally decided to take a gamble.

"Okay, I'll tell you."

"no……"

Yan Yongjie wanted to stop her, but Zhou Tong looked at her confidently.

"Qin Mengyao told me that if I remember her, I can find the talisman!" Zhou Tong blushed slightly when he said these words.

"You are really blessed!" Li Xin's smile was mixed with other things, a little jealousy and a little resentment.

"It seems that this is not the answer I need." Zhou Tong no longer wanted to explain the relationship between him and Qin Mengyao.

Li Xin put away her smile and seemed to be lost in thought. After thinking for a long time, she said, "I remember she once told me that she had an unforgettable experience with you. Although you rejected her in the end, she believed in you. Because at that moment, I will always remember her."

Zhou Tong seemed to have been shocked by an electric shock. In that basement, Qin Mengyao's passionate kiss, her soft body, her passion...

"I think you already have a clue." Li Xin knew everything from Zhou Tong's expression, "But, remember, if you want to save someone, take the remaining three talisman cards and come to Moscow!"

After speaking, Li Xin left without looking back.

Chapter 19
Moscow is a city with a long history and glorious tradition. It was founded in the middle of the 12th century and has a history of more than 800 years.With a population of more than 800 million, it is one of the world's largest metropolises and the largest city in Europe.

Moscow is built on 7 hills. The city is divided into 3 parts by rivers, and more than 30 bridges with unique architectural styles connect each part.The streets and buildings of the city are centered on the Kremlin and Red Square, and stretch out around them ring by ring.

When Zhou Tong, Yan Yongjie and Lin Danxi overlooked the whole of Moscow from the plane, they couldn't help being deeply attracted by this beautiful and charming city.

The three people walked out of the airport, and a stretched black Cadillac car caught their attention. The most important thing was that there was a person leaning against the car, which was Li Xin.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon!" Li Xin slowly walked over from the car.

"Stop talking nonsense, take us to see Feng Tianrong!" Yan Yongjie said impatiently.

"Since you're here, you don't have to be so impatient." Li Xin smiled sweetly.

"No! I'm the only one going." Zhou Tong's tone was definitely firm.

Yan Yongjie and Lin Danxi were shocked, they didn't expect Zhou Tong to say that.

Even Li Xin had to admire Zhou Tong's courage.

"No, I will never allow you to go alone!" Yan Yongjie objected loudly first.

"We Darghuts will never back down." Lin Danxi also said loudly.

"You believe me!" Zhou Tong didn't say anything more, holding Yan Yongjie's hand with one hand and Lin Danxi's hand with the other, looking at them calmly.

In the frank eye contact, a trust was established between the three people, a trust that did not need to be expressed in words.

"You must be careful!" Yan Yongjie, who has always been strong, held Zhou Tong's hand, reluctant to let go.

"Don't mess it up, or I won't let you go!" Lin Danxi's eyes turned red.

"Don't be so serious, enjoy the style of Moscow, and wait for me to come back." Zhou Tong's sunny smile made everyone feel warm.

"In this case, let's get in the car." Li Xin gently held Zhou Tong's arm and said like an old friend.

Although Zhou Tong hated her blood-stained hands extremely, he still let Li Xin hold his hand like a gentleman, and walked towards the car together.

Li Xin opened the back seat door for him, and a burly Russian man in a black suit jumped out of the seat, quickly stuffed Zhou Tong into the car, and the car drove away in a hurry.

The decoration inside the car is extremely luxurious, the space in the back seat is even more generous, and there are all kinds of electronic equipment that Zhou Tong has never seen before, decorated with small red and green lights.That feeling is not like sitting in a car, but in a spaceship.

Another big Russian man in the car covered Zhou Tong's eyes with a black cloth, then searched him and took almost everything that could be taken from him.

Zhou Tong cooperated with them very much and did not resist, because he knew that to save the hostages and protect himself from harm, the most sensible choice at present is to cooperate.

Zhou Tong thought that he could see the scenery along the road after finally coming to Moscow, but now he sat in the car for an unknown amount of time in a completely dark environment, and even fell asleep. He heard two Russian devils There was a burst of murmurs, although I couldn't understand them, but I guess they were also saying exclamation sentences like "I'm dying, I can still sleep".

The black cloth from Zhou Tong's eyes was finally torn off. He rubbed his eyes, as if he arrived at an underground parking lot, but there was only their car in the whole parking lot.

Li Xin walked in front, and two big Russian men followed Zhou Tong, and got into an elevator.The elevator does not go up, but continues to go down. The elevator button has no sign, but it stops soon.

After getting out of the elevator, in an empty hall, Zhou Tong finally saw Feng Tianrong.

"I thought I would see the high-level people here, why is it you?" Zhou Tong said with a disappointed expression.

"Our branches in Asia, the highest level you can see is me." Feng Tianrong was not angry at all, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, and take out the talisman."

Zhou Tong smiled exaggeratedly.

"You think I'm an idiot?"

"Don't you want the hostage's life? Or even your own life?" Feng Tianrong's tone was flat, but a murderous aura spread all around.
