Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 73 Zhou Tong Detective Series IV: The Skinner (7)
"It's a long story about me, we'll talk about it when we meet. How is your investigation going?" Zhou Tong said with a sigh.

"We're making some progress, but we're still tracking. Where are you now? When will you be back?"

"We are at the Tibetan home by the Namtso Lake, and we will rush back to Lhasa tonight."

"Okay, see you tonight...you pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry." Zhou Tong hung up the phone, turned around and was about to go out, but suddenly saw a talisman on the table in the room.

The five animal patterns of eagle, elephant, horse, dog, and peacock are engraved on the talisman, which is exactly the pattern they saw in the secret teaching "terma".

"Could it be that they also believe in esoteric religion?" Zhou Tong picked up the talisman on the table, doubts arose in his heart, and he planned to go out and ask for clarification.

"Zhuoga..." Zhou Tong pushed the door open, but he never expected that the three people who were chatting in the living room just now disappeared suddenly.

"Brother Zhuoga! Brother Zhuoga! Uncle Kangba! Miss Jin Duoer!" Zhou Tong shouted and looked around, but there was no one in the whole building, but the door that was originally closed in the living room was now closed. It's a lie.

Zhou Tong opened the door and went out, suddenly heavy snow fell outside the house, in the flying snowflakes, he saw two white figures running towards a mountain road carrying Zhuoga, Kangba and Jin Duoer in the distance .

"Stop!" Zhou Tong yelled, and then rushed out to catch up.

The white figure paused for a moment when he heard the sound, but immediately picked up his speed and ran deep into the forest.However, one of the white figures was carrying two people. Although he wanted to go faster, it seemed that his strength was insufficient, and the speed slowed down instead.

Seeing that the distance between the two white shadows is gradually expanding, and Zhou Tong is chasing desperately, the distance between him and the lagging white shadow is getting closer and closer.At this time, Zhou Tong also gradually saw the white figure clearly. Although he couldn't see the front, it turned out to be a naked monster with white hair from the back.

The white-haired monster also noticed that Zhou Tong was about to catch up with him. In order to run faster, he threw the Jin Duoer on his left shoulder down the mountain road.In this way, his burden was greatly reduced, his running speed was much faster, and he disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Jin Duo'er rolling down, Zhou Tong hurried forward to catch it.

"Are you... all right?" Zhou Tong was exhausted at this time, and the lack of oxygen on the plateau and the sudden running made him out of breath.

"Snowman! Snowman! It's a snowman!" Jin Duo'er hadn't recovered from her panic, she yelled while holding Zhou Tong's collar tightly with both hands.

Zhou Tong was already a little dizzy, but when Jin Duoer shook her like this, she felt her eyes darken and fainted.

On the other side, just as Yan Yongjie put away the phone, she saw Chang Ning smiling at her.

"Zhou Tong called. He and Zhuoga are going back to Lhasa tonight." Yan Yongjie did not hide her pleasure.

"Then we can rest assured." Chang Ning said with a smile, "By the way, did Zhou Tong and the others find any clues?"

"It's not clear yet, we won't know until they come back." Yan Yongjie shook her head.

"We still need to check the information of more than 70 temples here." Chen Siguo said with a straight face at the side.

"He has this kind of personality, don't be surprised." Chang Ning stuck out his tongue and whispered in Yan Yongjie's ear.

Yan Yongjie smiled and nodded, not caring, she also wanted to find the temple in the painting as soon as possible.But the painting is only a silhouette of the temple, and it is really difficult to find which temple it is based on this information alone.

"It is too time-consuming for us to investigate one temple after another. I think that since Fang Huihui and Yang Yang have been there, maybe we can find clues about this temple from them." Yan Yongjie suggested.

"Sister Yongjie is right. We should go to Fang Huihui and Yang Yang to conduct targeted investigations, and leave the inspection to the local police. They are more familiar with these temples than us." Chang Ning also agreed.

Chen Siguo was silent for a moment. What Yan Yongjie said was indeed reasonable. He found that his mood had been fluctuating a lot recently, and he lacked the calmness he had before. The reason for this was completely influenced by this woman.He couldn't help turning his eyes to Yan Yongjie, this heroic and beautiful woman exuded a unique charming aura, which made his heart skip a beat every time he saw her.

"Chen Siguo, what do you think?" Chang Ning stepped forward to pat the dazed Chen Siguo.

"Oh, okay... You are in charge of contacting the colleagues at the Lhasa Police Station, and explain to them that Yan Yongjie and I will go to Fang Huihui's house first." Chen Siguo said a little bit frustrated.

"Then let's act quickly." Yan Yongjie readily agreed.

Chang Ning was stunned for a moment, feeling a little reluctant, but after all, it was her own proposal, and the Lhasa police really needed someone to cooperate.

Seeing that no one objected to his plan, Chen Siguo felt secretly pleased.

Fang Huihui's parents are from Sichuan. They came to Lhasa more than ten years ago and opened a Sichuan restaurant here.The old couple only had one daughter, and they usually loved each other very much, but that night they quarreled with her because of the person they were talking about.Fang Huihui rushed out of the door in a fit of anger, but no one expected that she would never come back after leaving.

Due to the loss of their beloved daughter, the restaurant has been closed until now.

Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo knocked on the old couple's door again.

It was Fang Huihui's father who opened the door. The old man was wrinkled and haggard, but he recognized Chen Siguo at a glance.

"Officer Chen, have you caught the murderer?" The old man asked excitedly.

Chen Siguo looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Not yet, but we will definitely bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible!"

The old man was a little disappointed when he heard the words, and lowered his head.

"Uncle Fang, is it convenient for us to learn more about this visit?" Chen Siguo asked softly.

"It's nothing inconvenient, please come in." Uncle Fang invited Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo into the room.

The house has three floors, the first and second floors are for business, and the third floor is where the old couple and their daughter Fang Huihui live.Now the first floor is in a mess, the tables and chairs are covered with dust.

"I'm really sorry. I'll wipe the chairs, and you sit down." Uncle Fang picked up a rag and wiped the two chairs as he said.

"Where's the old lady?" Chen Siguo asked casually.

Uncle Fang's eyes were red, and he said, "She fell ill two days ago and is now in the hospital."

Chen Siguo and Yan Yongjie also felt uncomfortable for a while. It seemed that Fang Huihui's death had dealt a great blow to the two old people.

"Uncle Fang, don't be too sad, take care of your health." Chen Siguo comforted.

Uncle Fang sighed and nodded.

"Uncle Fang, we want to ask you, does Huihui believe in Buddhism?" Chen Siguo asked.

"Impossible, how could a girl like her do those things." Uncle Fang shook his head hastily.

"Then do you know if she has been to any monastery recently?"

Uncle Fang thought for a while, then shook his head, and said, "I haven't heard her mention it. During the day, she helps out in the store, and at night, she usually finds some friends to sing and so on. She doesn't go to the temple when she has free time." what."

"But as far as we know, she probably went to a temple in October. Here is a painting for you to take a look at." Chen Siguo said, taking out the painting that was printed out after processing by the computer, "Please identify it. Does the girl in the painting look like your daughter?"

Uncle Fang turned on the light, put on his glasses, looked at it carefully, and said, "This girl is dressed like Huihui...but the face in the painting is not clear. Where did this painting come from?"

"We found the painting from another deceased's home. Can you confirm that the girl in the painting is your daughter?"

"It's almost the same. This necklace was given to her by my wife and I for her birthday this year. The style of the necklace is very special, so I was more impressed." Fang Bo's tone was a little more affirmative.

"Do you have any impression of the temple in that painting?"

"No...Maybe my wife knows what she likes to talk to her mother...but..." Uncle Fang recalled that his wife had a stroke and was lying unconscious in the hospital. Tears could no longer be held back and fell down.

"Uncle Fang, Huihui's boyfriend, do you know him?" Yan Yongjie, who had been silent all this time, asked suddenly at this moment.

"This bastard, if it wasn't for him, my daughter wouldn't have run out that night. I think he did it!" The old man suddenly became agitated, and his face flushed.

"Uncle Fang, don't get excited, we will seriously investigate." Chen Siguo quickly comforted him. He had already investigated Fang Huihui's boyfriend, and he had no conditions or motives for committing the crime.

He didn't know why Yan Yongjie suddenly asked this question, so he naturally turned his attention to Yan Yongjie.

But Yan Yongjie continued to ask: "Uncle Fang, can you explain in detail what happened the night Huihui left?"

Uncle Fang wanted to complain, because he had told the police several times about what happened that night, but after seeing Yan Yongjie's serious expression, he finally just sighed again, and said, "Wang Haiyan that night The ignorant brat ran to Huihui again..."

As soon as he said this, Yan Yongjie suddenly heard light footsteps coming from the second floor, and she slowly stood up.

Both Chen Siguo and Fang Bo are ordinary people, so they naturally don't have Yan Yongjie's hearing ability. Seeing Yan Yongjie stand up suddenly, they feel a little inexplicable.

At this moment, a flying arrow suddenly shot at Fang Bo.

Yan Yongjie had been prepared for a long time, and threw out the pen used for recording in her hand, knocking away the flying arrow.

"Who is it?" Yan Yongjie then shouted loudly, and the person jumped up like a roc spreading its wings.

This series of actions made Chen Siguo and Fang Bo on the side dumbfounded.

Section 7 Snowman
The person who shot back upstairs did not expect that the girl downstairs would have such skills, and in the blink of an eye, she was already in front of him.

Yan Yongjie jumped upstairs and found that the person who shot back was a lama.

Although the lama was shocked, he drew out the long knife at his waist and slashed at Yan Yongjie sideways.

Yan Yongjie didn't dare to be careless, this knife seemed simple, but its power was like thunder!She jumped up again, tapped the handle of the knife with one foot, and drew a graceful arc in the air with her body, avoiding the knife's force, and kicked back.

The lama immediately returned the knife and slashed her ankle.Yan Yongjie seemed to have expected it, but this kick was a false move.The lama saw the shadows of his feet flickering, and a punch struck him like lightning and flint.The lama was shocked, and the horizontal knife quickly retreated.Yan Yongjie didn't dare to underestimate Mang Jin, the opponent's sword technique was something she had never seen before, it was very weird.

The lama stood firm and reassembled his saber posture. The shadows of the saber were all over the sky, like a torrential rain, covering his head and covering his face.

Yan Yongjie didn't panic, she avoided the truth and went up to her with fists like stars.

For a moment, the shadow of sword, light and fist on the second floor was like stormy waves rolling in snow.

Chen Siguo and Fang Bo also went up to the second floor at this time, but their eyes were dazzled and they couldn't distinguish the figures.They have never experienced this kind of formation in person, and they have seen it in martial arts movies at most before.

Chen Siguo raised his pistol and looked at the figures in the room, but he didn't dare to shoot easily for fear of accidentally injuring Yan Yongjie.

Seeing the failure of the action, the lama stood next to a policeman with a gun eyeing him. He didn't dare to fight.

Yan Yongjie wanted to chase after her, but a stabbing pain came from her leg, she couldn't hold it anymore, and fell to her knees.

"Are you alright?" Chen Siguo asked worriedly, looking at the blood that kept gushing out of her legs.

"It's okay, protect Uncle Fang and ask for support." Yan Yongjie's forehead broke out in cold sweat. Since her debut, she has never encountered such a strong enemy. If it wasn't for Chen Siguo holding a gun by her side, she might lose her life in this battle.

Zhou Tong only felt that his head was heavy and his chest was heavy, but he finally regained consciousness, slowly opened his eyes, and found himself lying on a soft bed, covered with a thick quilt, very warm.He turned his head sideways and saw Jin Duo'er was leaning against the edge of his bed, falling asleep.

"Jin Duo'er." Zhou Tong stretched out his hand under the quilt and patted her.

"Brother Zhou Tong...you finally woke up!" The tears on Jin Duo'er's face were still wet.

"What happened? Why did two monsters suddenly appear and take you away?" Zhou Tong asked quickly, remembering the scene just now.

"As soon as you went in to make a phone call, the three of us suddenly smelled a strange smell, and then became dizzy. When I woke up, I found myself being carried on my shoulder by a snowman..." Jin Duo'er said with a face Still full of horror.

Zhou Tong lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed.

"Is that long-haired monster really the legendary Yeti?"

Jin Duoer nodded affirmatively.

However, Zhou Tong's heart is still full of doubts. If it is really a snowman, then do they know how to use drugs?
"Jin Duo'er, where's the phone?" Zhou Tong searched around the bed, but couldn't find the phone, "I want to ask a friend of mine for help."

Jin Duo'er took out her mobile phone from her pocket, but said with a dejected expression, "Just now you broke it when you fainted."

Zhou Tong took the phone and saw that it was broken and couldn't be turned on.

"Don't worry, it's about 3 hours away from here to Laruo Township. I have friends there, I can ask them for help, and I can even call the police." Seeing Zhou Tong's disappointed expression, Jin Duo'er comforted her.

"How long does it take to get to Sangzhu Village?" Zhou Tong remembered that Zhuoga's car was parked there. It would be more convenient if there was a car.

Unexpectedly, Jin Duo'er's face turned pale when she heard about Sangzhu Village.

"Sangzhu Village? There was a terrible plague a few years ago, many people died, and now the whole village is gone!"

"I know, but our car is there."

Jin Duo'er looked at Zhou Tong in confusion, not knowing why they went there, but she still said: "Sangzhu Village is on the other side of Nam Co, and it takes about two days to walk from here, but when you reach Laruo Township, there are The car went by there."

Zhou Tong didn't expect that coming out of the tunnel on the mountain of Sangzhu Village, he almost passed through Namtso Lake.

"It may take more than ten hours to go back and forth. I am worried about their safety." Zhou Tong shook his head. He didn't know why these so-called "snowmen" wanted to arrest them.But these "snowmen" should not be people from the secret sect, Zhuoga and himself are completely under the control of the secret sect, they will not do anything unnecessary.

"Then what should we do?" Jin Duo'er looked at Zhou Tong helplessly and worriedly.

"Let's go to the snow mountain to look for it!" Zhou Tong gritted his teeth, he couldn't watch Zhuoga being taken away without doing anything.

Uncle Fang has never seen such a scene, whether it was the fierce fighting just now, or being brought into such an interrogation room with glass walls, but what makes him feel cramped is that he cannot see the outside world through the glass wall. Condition.

There were tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, and his heart was in a state of agitation. He didn't know why the two police officers let him in here.And he was still worried about his wife, wondering how she was doing now?

Just when he was a little anxious and irritable, Chen Siguo and Yan Yongjie walked in.

Yan Yongjie underwent some simple medical treatment for her leg injury, but from her walking posture, it can be seen that she may not be able to move freely in the short term.

"Two police officers, let me go out. I'm going to the hospital to see my wife." Uncle Fang said anxiously.

"Uncle Fang, don't worry, we have arranged someone to take care of my mother-in-law at the hospital." Chen Siguo paused here, then gave Uncle Fang a meaningful look, and then continued: "Uncle Fang, I'm afraid you didn't tell us something? "

Uncle Fang was stunned for a moment, avoided Chen Siguo's gaze, and said, "I know, I've said it all."

"Uncle Fang, now not only your daughter died strangely, but your own life is also in danger. If you don't cooperate with our police, I'm afraid more people will be victimized." Chen Siguo's expression was serious and his voice was stern.

Uncle Fang's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Chen Siguo and then at Yan Yongjie, knowing that there were some things that he might not be able to hide anymore, but that incident had passed for so long, could it be because...he didn't know for sure, but after thinking about it , except for the possibility of that incident, he has never done anything unscrupulous in his life.

"Uncle Fang, don't hesitate anymore, you also hope to find the murderer as soon as possible, so as to comfort Huihui's spirit in heaven." Yan Yongjie spoke in a low voice, but every word and every word penetrated into Uncle Fang's heart.
