Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 7 Zhou Tong Detective Series I: Death Tarot Cards (7)
Qifeng Petrochemical Company is negotiating with Jinling Corporation, one of the largest consortiums in Japan. Jinling Corporation seems to have always had a strong interest in Qifeng Petrochemical Company, but they have too much appetite and want to swallow Qifeng Petrochemical Company in one go, so Li Wanren once rejected their request for cooperation.But now the Jinling Club has become their only life-saving straw.Li Changfeng personally invited Jin Tian Motoichi, the president of Jinling Club, to participate in this financing negotiation.

"Your request is too much!" Li Wanren couldn't help but slapped the table and stood up.

Jin Tianmoto, the president of the Jinling Club, didn't take a look at Li Wanren, but lightly adjusted his white suit.

"Wan Ren, sit down!" Li Changfeng scolded.

"But..." Seeing his father's haggard look, Li Wanren finally sat down and didn't speak again.

"Your Excellency, President, Qifeng Petrochemical Company was founded by me alone, but now your company wants to control it. Is it unreasonable? I can only give up 40.00% of the shares at most, but we can give your company 60.00% of the annual return. annual profit." Li Changfeng really wanted to be tough when he spoke, but unfortunately he couldn't, his tone was almost pleading.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman, our financing is as high as 100 billion US dollars. The minimum condition is that Jinling Club holds 50.00% of the shares. Otherwise, there is no need to continue the negotiation." Jin Tian Motoichi speaks Chinese very fluently.

The venue was silent for a while, and everyone was waiting, waiting for the chairman of Qifeng Petrochemical Company to make the final decision.

When Li Changfeng first saw Jin Tian Motoichi, the president of Jinling Club, he was very surprised. He really did not expect that such a large international consortium would be held by such a young man.Now, however, it is this young man who has made his company history.

"If your Excellency, Chairman, has not considered it clearly, then I will leave first." Jintian Motoichi stood up, and several followers followed him to the door.

"I agree!" Li Changfeng finally said the moment Jintian Benyi pushed open the door of the conference room.

"Your Excellency made a very wise decision." Jin Tian Motoichi just stopped slightly, without even looking back, the result was already in his expectation.

Chapter 4 Who can lead the snake out of the hole
The man in black suddenly saw the Tarot card with the smile of death slipping out of Zhou Tong's pocket, his eyes seemed to be full of fear as if he saw a ghost.The man in black let out a miserable cry, and then rushed out of the cabin like crazy.

Zhou Tong left Jiaming's apartment, he didn't go to school, and he didn't go home.He found a secluded place to sit down, he really needed to think quietly.Because at this moment, he is more sure that behind this series of suicide cases, there is a real murderer, and it is this murderer who has directed a series of bizarre suicide cases.Is the man in black a murderer or an accomplice?To kill someone with the martial arts of the man in black, why go through so much trouble and come up with so many tricks?What is the murderer's purpose?For a while, Zhou Tong couldn't figure it out.

Zhou Tong patted his head, trying to get himself out of cumbersome thoughts.Although the reason why the murderer killed Wang Hong and Hu Fangli is not known yet, the murderer obviously wanted to silence Ma Huijia's death, because Ma Huijia must have known something she shouldn't know, and she happened to meet me again.Although she didn't say anything to me, the murderer wasn't sure about this, and the hurried appearance of the man in black to kill me just showed this point.It doesn't matter whether the man in black is the real murderer or not, but he can definitely find out the truth, so finding the man in black is the only clue now!And the bait that can lure the man in black is myself.Thinking of this, Zhou Tong couldn't help laughing, he had a bold plan.

The next day was the weekend, if it was the past, Zhou Tong would definitely sleep until the sun basked in his butt.But today he got up early.He knocked on Yan Yongjie's door first, but found that there was no one there, and Yan Yongjie didn't return all night.

"Where will this savage woman go?" Zhou Tong muttered, "It's fine if I'm not here, I can move freely." But after taking two steps, I felt wrong. This savage woman is gone, and the bodyguard she sent should not have left. , if he is gone, my life will be on the line.Zhou Tong walked up and down the room, wanting to go out and follow the plan, but was afraid, and wanted to call Yan Yongjie, but couldn't hold back.After hesitating again and again, Zhou Tong decided to go all out.

Zhou Tong's plan is very simple, that is bluffing, and the supporting role he needs is Hu Fangli's boyfriend Li Wanren.Although he didn't know if it would work, it seemed more positive than doing nothing.

Zhou Tong memorized the information about the second deceased, Hu Fangli, and he easily found Li Wanren's mansion in the suburbs.

But what he never expected was that at the door of the mansion, he saw the person he least wanted to see, Li Ying.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Tong blurted out.

"I still want to ask you how come here?" Li Ying also looked at Zhou Tong in surprise.

"Don't tell me you live here." Zhou Tong immediately realized that Li Ying is probably the daughter of Li Changfeng, the richest man in the city, and Li Wanren's younger sister.

"You're smart, what are you doing at my house?" Li Ying said and raised her head.

"Hmm... this..." Zhou Tong didn't know how to answer this sudden question, but he immediately regained his composure, smiled, and continued: "I missed you, so I came to you. "

Although Li Ying clearly knew that he was talking nonsense, her face turned red, "Don't come here, why are you here?"

"It seems that if I want to go in today, I have to pass the test of your young lady first. Forget it, I'll confess." Zhou Tong put on a helpless look, "I'm looking for your elder brother Li Wanren, I have something important to do!"

Li Ying's eyes widened when she heard the words, and she looked around Zhou Tong for a long time before saying, "What the hell are you doing, Zhou Tong? How can you have anything to do with my elder brother just like you?"

Zhou Tong felt a little guilty when she said that. It was really difficult for him, a high school student, to have any relationship with the general manager of a large group.But the matter has come to this point, he can only continue to persevere, "This matter is no small matter, I need to talk to your elder brother face to face."

"You don't make it clear to me first, you can't take a step into the door." Li Ying's attitude is firm.

"I advise you not to ask." Zhou Tong didn't mean to scare Li Ying by saying this, he really didn't want to involve other people.

"Don't fool me. Do you want to tell me or not? If you don't, please leave immediately." Li Ying made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

"You must know?"

"Yes!"

"It's about Hu Fangli's death!" Zhou Tong immediately regretted the words, and he had an ominous premonition.

"You... how do you know this?" Li Ying asked in disbelief.

"Can I go see your elder brother now?" Zhou Tong didn't say anything more.

"Come with me." Li Ying put away the eldest lady's temper, opened the iron door, and led Zhou Tong in.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew, Zhou Tong couldn't help shivering, turning his head, there was a winter twilight in front of him, and there was no breath of spring at all.

Yan Yongjie has two questions in her mind. One is the man in black who she met outside the Pink Lovers Bar. If Zhou Tong didn't say anything nonsense, Ma Huijia was probably killed by the man in black. So is the man in black a Tarot card homicide? murderer?The second is how does the man in black know the tantric boxing passed down in his family?Yan Yongjie has no way to answer the first question for the time being, but maybe someone can give her the answer to the second question, and this person is the grandfather who taught her boxing skills.Perhaps the answer to the second question is the key to solving the first.

Yan Yongjie drove all night and rushed back to her hometown.

Yan Yongjie's grandfather Yan Shan, no matter how you look at it, is a typical farmer, with dark and rough skin, deep wrinkles on his face, and a pair of callused hands. It is difficult to connect such an image with a generation of martial arts masters stand up.

"Grandpa!" Yan Yongjie called out kindly when she saw her grandpa sweeping the floor at the door.

"Hey, why did you come here so early in the morning, girl?" Although Yan Shan said so, he still had a happy expression on his face when he saw his own granddaughter.

"What are you talking about, grandpa, you haven't visited me in the city for a few months, are you planning to lose me as a granddaughter?" Yan Yongjie held her grandpa's hand and said jokingly.

"Silly girl, aren't you afraid that you are busy with work?" Yan Shan put down the broom and led Yan Yongjie into the house.

As soon as Yan Yongjie entered the room, she poured Yan Shan a glass of water, "Grandpa, take a break and drink some water, and I'll sweep the floor for you."

"Wait." Yan Shan took the water handed by his granddaughter, and then continued: "Girl, if there is something, just tell the truth!"

Yan Yongjie smiled coquettishly, and said: "Sure enough, I still can't escape Grandpa's eyes, well, I'll be honest! I have something important to ask Grandpa when I come back this time."

Yan Shan cleared his throat, took a sip of tea, "Speak!"

"Grandpa, who else knows our family's Tantric boxing?" Yan Yongjie pointed straight in with a single sword.

"Why did you suddenly ask this?" Yan Shan asked curiously.

"I recently handled a case and fought against a suspect. He even recognized that I was a boxer." Yan Yongjie explained.

"How old is that person?" Yan Shan asked.

"He is masked, but his voice should be about 40 years old." Yan Yongjie is very sure.

Yan Shan fell into deep thought for a while, and after a long time, he said: "Impossible, although your grandfather practiced martial arts, he just kept fit and strengthened his body. He seldom fought with others, let alone revealed this boxing technique to others."

"Grandpa, do you remember wrongly? Think about it carefully, this matter is very important!" Yan Yongjie looked at Yan Shan very seriously.

"Well, do you remember what martial arts he used?"

"He uses a sword, the sword is fast, fierce and ruthless!"

"Do you still remember the moves of swordsmanship?"

"Remember the moves!" Yan Yongjie brought in the broom outside the house as she spoke, recalling the scene of the fierce fight that night, and gestured to the sword moves used by the man in black.

Yan Shan stood aside and looked more and more frightened, and finally couldn't help but blurted out: "Japanese phantom sword style!"

"Japanese Fantasy Sword Style? Grandpa, you..." Yan Yongjie looked at Yan Shan with expectation and curiosity.

Yan Shan's thoughts suddenly returned to more than 60 years ago.

On July 1937, 7, the color of mountains and rivers changed overnight.The long-planned Japanese army launched an attack on Wanping City by the Lugou Bridge in the southwest of Beiping, and the officers and soldiers of the 7th Chinese Army rose up to resist.Taking this as a starting point, Japan began an all-out war of aggression against China, and the unyielding Chinese nation began an eight-year nationwide war of resistance.At that time, although Yan Shan was only 29 years old, he had already learned martial arts.In the second year after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Yan Shan resolutely joined the army in order to defend his family and the country.Due to his heroic combat and good skills, he was transferred to the national army for a second term as the commander of the special operations company soon after. This company is a special agent company that specializes in assassinating senior Japanese officers.Yan Shan remembers very clearly that it was the winter of 17, and the company received a mission to assassinate Captain Shiro Ishii, a military doctor of the Japanese Army's 1940st Unit.

At that time, the national army intercepted the intelligence, and Shiro Ishii left the station and was ordered to go to Peiping.The task of the company is to intercept and kill him on the way.After careful planning, Yan Shan set up an ambush where Shiro Shiro's train must pass.

The operation went very smoothly, and Yan Shan climbed onto the train with the three elites in the company and slipped into Shiro Ishii's carriage.In order not to alarm the Japanese troops in other compartments, Yan Shan and his three comrades did not dare to shoot. The moment they entered the compartment, they killed the Japanese troops in the compartment separately with lightning speed.But Yan Shan never expected that when the three comrades in arms were about to rush to Shiro Ishii, a young Japanese officer beside him swung his sword and killed three of his comrades in the blink of an eye.

Yan Shan didn't have time to think about it, and immediately stepped forward and kicked the Japanese officer holding a sword.The Japanese officer moved faster than Yan Shan could have imagined, and swiped his sword at Yan Shan's leg while turning sideways.Yan Shan didn't dare to fight recklessly, he immediately retracted his legs, stepped on the seat and rebounded, his right fist screamed out, and hit the Japanese officer's face.The Japanese officer's expression became a little surprised, and he did not expect that the Chinese soldier in front of him could avoid such a fast-moving sword and quickly fight back.The Japanese officer had no time to fight back with his sword in the face of the incoming punch, so he had to retreat a few steps to stabilize his figure.

The two of them didn't move any more, they just met each other's eyes. They knew very well that they had encountered a rare and powerful enemy in their life.

"I am Aoye from the Japanese magic sword style. I admire your boxing skills very much. Please show me clearly." The officer named Aoye slowly raised his long sword while speaking.

When Yan Shan heard the words, he immediately became competitive, "Okay, today I will show you the Chinese Tantric boxing."After finishing speaking, Yan Shan used all his tantric fists to attack.In an instant, the entire carriage was filled with shadows of fists, both virtual and real, attacking Cangye like raindrops.

Cang Ye had never seen such a fierce boxing technique, and he didn't dare to be careless in his heart. He swung his long sword like a wind and snow, and greeted him.On one side, the cold light radiates, on the other side, the fire burns in all directions, and the swords and fists are inextricably linked.

At this time, Ishii Shiro had already slipped out and called for reinforcements.Both ends of the carriage were heavily guarded by Japanese soldiers.Seeing this scene, Yan Shan didn't dare to fight for a long time, he desperately swung out the strongest form of Tantric boxing, the fist was like a shooting star, passed through layers of sword nets, and hit Cangye's chest directly.

Cangye was shocked for a moment, he didn't expect that the opponent would make such a tyrannical move, there was no way to avoid it, he had no choice but to fight, not retreating or defending, he received Yan Shan's punch hard, and at the same time swung his sword out.

Cang Ye's fist flew out like a kite with a broken string, and Yan Shan was also cut with a sword on his upper arm.Yan Shan endured the pain, smashed through the car window, and jumped out...

"So that's the case, unexpected, unexpected..." After listening to Yan Shan's narration, Yan Yongjie sighed, "Grandpa, why didn't I hear it from you before?"

"What happened so many years ago, what else is there to mention!" Yan Shan waved his hand.

"Could it be that the person I'm fighting with is Japanese?" Yan Yongjie asked.

"It's hard to say, but the swordsmanship he made is indeed the Japanese phantom sword style." Yan Shan was very sure.

"Well, I got it, thank you Grandpa, I'm going back right now, and I'll come to see you after this case is over!" Yan Yongjie found the clue and was very excited, she wanted to find out about this matter immediately.

"You have business to do, so I won't keep you here, but remember, your Tantric boxing is not ready yet, next time you meet someone who uses the magic sword style, you must be careful!" Yan Shan said worriedly road.

"Don't worry, grandpa, next time I meet him, I'll use this!" Yan Yongjie patted the gun on his waist after finishing speaking.

Zhou Tong followed Li Ying into the house, Li Ying asked him to wait in the living room, and went upstairs by herself.Soon, Zhou Tong saw Li Wanren running down the stairs in a hurry.

"You... who are you, how do you know about Xiaoli?" Li Wanren looked very excited, and tightly grabbed Zhou Tong's shoulder with his hands.

"You don't need to know who I am... I'm just here to tell you something." Zhou Tong said, while pulling away Li Wanren's hands, and he didn't say anything. Li Wanren was so nervous, it seemed that he really loved him. Hu Fangli.

"What exactly do you know?" Li Wanren looked at Zhou Tong suspiciously.

"Can you let her go first?" Zhou Tong pointed to Li Ying who was behind Li Wanren. He didn't hate her, but wanted to protect her.

"Zhou Tong, whose family is this? How dare you send me away!" Li Ying was furious.

"Little sister, you go up first!" Li Wanren turned his head and looked at Li Ying sternly.

"Let's go, who cares to listen to your crap!" After Li Ying finished speaking, she ran out of the door angrily.

Zhou Tong watched him walk away, then looked at Li Wanren in a leisurely manner and said, "Hu Fangli didn't commit suicide!"

"You... what did you say?" Li Wanren's eyes widened.

"Let me tell you, Hu Fangli didn't commit suicide, this can be proved." Zhou Tong took out the Tarot card from his arms and handed it to Li Wanren.

"What... what is this?" Li Wanren asked puzzled.
