Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 78 Zhou Tong Detective Series IV: The Skinner (12)
Even a person like Zhuoga, who is used to mountain roads, is pale at this moment.Not to mention Zhou Tong, his head was stuck out of the car window, and his mouth kept spraying the milk and bread he had just eaten on the side of the car and on the road, wailing constantly.

But even in such a situation, Yan Yongjie can still take out one hand to make a phone call.

"Chen Siguo, where are you?"

"Yan Yongjie... I'm in Lhasa, I found some new clues..."

"Leave that aside, Chang Ning may be in danger, go to the hotel immediately and protect her!"

"I just came out of the hotel not long ago..." Chen Siguo thought of Chang Ning's abnormal expression in the morning, and vaguely felt something was wrong, "Okay, I'll go there right away!"

"We'll be there in about an hour, we'll talk when we meet." Yan Yongjie hung up the phone.

"More than an hour?" Zhuoga touched the cold sweat on his forehead. Judging from the road signs, it was nearly [-] kilometers away from Lhasa.

But before he questioned, Yan Yongjie had already stepped on the accelerator hard, and the engine roared instantly.

Chen Siguo hastily turned back to the hotel, but at this time, the room was empty and there was no sign of Chang Ning.He hurriedly dialed Chang Ning's cell phone again, but it was a notification that the phone was turned off.

where did she goChen Siguo frowned.

Thinking of the conversation with her in the morning, Chen Siguo seemed to be vaguely aware of something, but he wasn't sure yet.But the most likely place for Chang Ning to go is the Eurobaga Temple.

Just as Chen Siguo deduced, Chang Ning was indeed driving in the direction of the Eurobaga Temple.

It takes three hours to drive from Lhasa to the Eurobaga Temple. The road is bumpy and sparsely populated. It is a desolate scene of a snow-covered plateau.

Chang Ning has been there once, and he is familiar with the road, but because of what happened last time, there is always a lingering shadow in his heart.

But now she thinks about Chen Siguo the most. Last night's passionate lingering seems to be still vivid in her memory, but Chen Siguo's indifferent expression in the morning made her heart sting.

What happened last night?Could it be a dream?Or... When she thought of this, her heart trembled, and her breathing became chaotic.

"No, I have to figure it out." Chang Ning stepped on the accelerator hard, wishing he could fly to the Oulopaga Temple immediately.

At this time, a person suddenly sprang out of the jungle on the side of the road.

She instinctively stepped on the brakes, but it seemed too late.

Hearing only a "bang", the person was hit by the car and flew out.

Chang Ning's face was pale, and he got out of the car quickly to check the victim's injuries.

However, when she ran to the side of the victim, she found that there was only a yellow robe on the ground, and no one was seen at all.

I clearly saw a person being bumped into just now, could it be that I was dazzled?Chang Ning looked back at his car, and found that the front of the car had a dent, which was obviously caused by hitting something, but a piece of clothing can never have such strength.

It was extremely quiet all around, except for the "whoosh" of the wind, there was no other sound to be heard.Chang Ning couldn't help feeling frightened.Since her last trip to the temple, she always felt that behind her, or around her, in the dark, there was a pair of eyes staring at her.

She repeatedly told herself that this was just some kind of psychological barrier, or a self-compulsive psychological suggestion.But this feeling not only didn't subside slowly, but became more and more intense. Until now, she seemed to feel that those eyes in the dark were behind her.

Chang Ning felt her body became a little stiff, and drops of cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she was a professionally trained police officer after all.Although a little nervous, but not out of order.

She took a deep breath, slowly adjusted her emotions, then took out a gun from her waist, and turned around quickly.

But there was nothing behind...even the clothes that were on the ground just now were gone.

Chang Ning only felt that the hairs on his body were standing on end.

"Who is pretending to be a ghost?" She held the gun tightly in both hands and looked around.

The wind blew the woods on both sides of the road, making a "rustling" sound, and no one answered her question.

But at this time, suddenly in the woods on her right, there was a "creaking" sound, like the sound of a branch being trampled off.

"Come out, who is it? I shot." Chang Ning stared at the direction of the sound.

But still no one appeared in her line of sight.

She gritted her teeth, held the gun, and walked into the woods beside the road.

In the dense forest, the light is dim, revealing a strange atmosphere.

Chang Ning walked slowly and carefully searched in the woods.

Suddenly, she found a small piece of yellow cloth hanging on the branch in front of her. The texture and color of the cloth were exactly the same as the robe on the road just now.

And every so often, the same strip of cloth is found on another tree.

Chang Ning hesitated, these cloth strips were obviously left on purpose, as if they wanted to lead her somewhere.Should we continue to walk along these cloth strips?
Chen Siguo contacted Yan Yongjie again and told her that Chang Ning was no longer in the hotel and might have gone to the Europa Temple.Following him, he also drove the car towards the direction of the Eurobaga Temple, hoping to catch up with Chang Ning.

On the way, he found Chang Ning's car, but her people were not in the car, so he didn't know where he went.

There are obvious traces of collision on the front of the car, and there is also a long brake mark on the road.

He had a bad premonition that Chang Ning must have encountered something unexpected before abandoning the car and leaving.

Chen Siguo observed the scene carefully, there were no traces of fighting, no bloodstains, and Chang Ning's footprints were also very clear.

"She went into the woods." Chen Siguo's eyes stayed on the woods beside the road, and he finally found the direction where Chang Ning left.

There was no time to think about it anymore, he followed Chang Ning's footsteps and quickly chased into the woods without hesitation.

Chapter 11 Lost in the Woods
Chang Ning's curiosity finally defeated her fear, and she decided to find out.

Guided by pieces of cloth strips, she got farther and farther away from the road and gradually walked into the depths of the woods.

The surroundings were so quiet that one could not even see a bird in flight.

At this time, Chang Ning did not find any new cloth strips, as if where she was standing now was the end point.But here, apart from trees and trees, there is no one.

She began to feel that her choice was too reckless, and she should at least keep in touch with her colleagues in the special criminal investigation team.Because she was angry with Chen Siguo, she didn't even bring her mobile phone with her, so she was a little emotional.

Chang Ning searched around again, but still found nothing, so she decided to exit the woods the same way.

Fortunately, those cloth strips were still hanging on the branches. She thought that as long as she followed these cloth strips, she could walk out easily.

However, things were far from as simple as she imagined.

These strips of cloth hanging on the branches seemed to have suddenly changed their positions, leading her around in the woods, but she couldn't get out.

At this time, Chang Ning felt that he was not in a forest, but in a huge maze.

She was thirsty and hungry, and felt dizzy.

Just when she was at a loss, a person slowly came out of the woods in front of her.

"Chen Siguo!" Chang Ning didn't expect him to find him.

With a smile on his face, Chen Siguo walked to her side step by step without saying a word.Before she could react, he hugged her tightly in his arms, and began to lick Chang Ning's ears with his tongue frantically.

"What are you doing?" Chang Ning was numb all over, she did not expect Chen Siguo's attitude to change 180 degrees again.

Chen Siguo remained silent, and his hands began to slide over Chang Ning's sensitive parts.

At this time, Chang Ning was not as dazed as last night, she struggled to get out of Chen Siguo's arms.

And at this time, another person walked out from behind the woods beside her.

"Chen...Chen Siguo?!" Chang Ning couldn't believe his eyes, and another Chen Siguo walked out.

Two Chen Siguo stood in front of her, one on the left and the other on the right.

"Chang Ning!" Chen Siguo who came out from behind called out, and he also saw another "self" standing not far away.

Chang Ning recovered from the shock. After all, she is an expert in psychology and soon discovered the truth of the problem.This later one is the real Chen Siguo.

The other "Chen Siguo" obviously didn't expect the real Chen Sihui to appear here suddenly. He looked at Chang Ning with an evil smile, then quickly turned around and went into the woods.

Chang Ning became angry from embarrassment, and immediately went to draw out the gun, but his waist was empty, and the gun was touched by the other party unconsciously.

"What's going on? Who is he?" Chen Siguo was obviously shocked.

"Don't ask, chase!" Chang Ning had suddenly realized at this moment, she had no time to tell Chen Siguo more, and chased after him.

Although Chen Siguo still didn't understand the cause and effect of the incident, he knew that this person who pretended to be himself must be uneasy and kind.He took out his gun and followed closely behind Chang Ning.

However, the terrain in the woods is complicated and the line of sight is not good, but in a short while, the two lost each other.

Chang Ning, who was full of resentment, snatched Chen Siguo's gun and fired randomly around the forest until all the bullets were exhausted.

"Chang Ning, what's wrong with you? Calm down." Chen Siguo did not expect that Chang Ning, who has always been calm, capable and composed, would suddenly lose control.

Chang Ning was panting heavily, the violent running just now had exhausted her physical strength.

She understood Chen Siguo's doubts very well, but it was hard to talk about what happened last night.I am indeed a little impulsive now, but if I don't vent it, I'm afraid I will be even more depressed.

Chen Siguo slowly took the gun from her hand, and then gently held her arm.

Chang Ning adjusted her breathing and slowly calmed down. She politely pushed Chen Siguo away, and then sat down against a big tree.

What is the purpose of the other party deliberately approaching him?
But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't find a reasonable answer.The only thing she can be sure of is that the other party's purpose is not simply to take advantage.

"Chang Ning, are you okay?" Chen Siguo asked with concern from the side.

"I'm fine." Chang Ning felt an indescribable awkwardness when he saw Chen Siguo now.

"Why did that man pretend to be me just now? What did he do?"

"I don't know either... If you hadn't appeared in time, you would have almost fallen into his trap." Although Chang Ning tried his best to conceal it, his face was still slightly rosy.

Chen Siguo saw that she was unwilling to say more, so he avoided this topic and did not continue to ask.

"Why did you come here without saying anything? We are all worried about you, and Yan Yongjie and the others will rush over soon." After all, Chen Siguo has a higher police rank than Chang Ning. As a superior, he cannot tolerate her reckless behavior.

Chang Ning didn't make a sound. Although she was wronged, she still held back her tears.

Seeing her appearance, Chen Siguo felt embarrassed to criticize again, and his tone softened, and said, "We don't know what the other party's purpose is, but obviously, they will attack you, so you have to be extra careful."

Chang Ning nodded.

Both were silent for a moment.

"Is there any news about Zhou Tong and Zhuo Ga?" Chang Ning finally asked.

"Yan Yongjie has found them, and they are coming here together now." Chen Siguo is now looking forward to what clues Zhou Tong and the others will find. "Let's find a way to get out first, and then join them as soon as possible."

When Yan Yongjie learned that Chang Ning had gone to the Oulopaga Temple, she immediately changed direction and went straight to the temple.

Zhou Tong was lying in the car, basically in a coma.And Zhuoga finally started to vomit mouthful.

Fortunately, the journey from Namtso to the Oulopaga Temple was at least one-third shorter than returning to Lhasa. It took almost an hour, and they finally saw Chang Ning and Chen Siguo on the side of the road.

"Chang Ning, are you okay?" Yan Yongjie jumped out of the car first, looking at the haggard Chang Ning and asked.

Chang Ning has completely controlled her emotions, she showed a faint smile.

"In the woods, we found a person who looks exactly like me, or a guy who pretends to be me in a certain way!" Chen Siguo still has many doubts about this matter.

"His target should be me, but because Chen Siguo arrived in time, he didn't succeed." Chang Ning recalled the weird scene just now, and couldn't help being startled again.

"It was really caught by Zhou Tong!" Yan Yongjie let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhuoga helped Zhou Tong get out of the car as well.

"Why...he looks like this?" Chang Ning saw Zhou Tong's crooked look, as if he was drunk.

"Yong Jie, you are not driving too fast, you are flying too low..." At this point, Zhou Tong pushed Zhuo Ga away, crouched on the side of the road and couldn't help retching, there was nothing in his stomach for him Vomited.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Siguo couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, that he should be under the command of such a guy.

Holding a bottle of mineral water, Zhou Tong rinsed his mouth and showered his head again. After tossing for a long time, he slowly recovered.

At this time, under Chen Siguo's questioning, Zhuoga briefly recounted their experience according to Zhou Tong's statement.

"It seems that these cases are all related to the Esoteric Cult. It is certain, but one thing is very strange. Why did the Esoteric Cult ask you to help them find the skinning murderer? Why do they believe that you will help?" Chen Siguo looked at Zhuo with sharp eyes. Ga.

Zhuoga did not expect Chen Sihui to ask such a question, and he couldn't think of a good explanation for a while.

"We also find it strange. I'm afraid they have another conspiracy behind them." Zhou Tong quickly took over the words, and then pushed all the questions back to the secret sect.

Chen Siguo was far smarter than Zhou Tong imagined, he didn't fully believe Zhou Tong's words, but he couldn't think of any flaws at the moment.

The reason why Zhou Tong didn't want them to know that he and Zhuoga's relatives were kidnapped was because he didn't want them to worry, and because he was afraid of affecting their handling of the case. Of course, the most important thing was about saving people. He had his own plan.

"However, according to the current situation, it can be inferred that the skinned killer is not a member of the secret sect, and even has conflicts with the secret religion." Chang Ning thought of another "Chen Siguo", could he be the skinned killer?

Zhou Tong cast his eyes on Chang Ning at this time, he put away his smile, and said with a serious expression: "The next target of the skinner is you."

When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you know that Chang Ning would be in danger?" Yan Yongjie asked first.

"I also synthesized all the clues we have so far and came to a conclusion. The first three victims were all killed by the skinned killer after they went to the Temple of Europa, and you found that there was a mysterious black man in the temple. The man in robe did some ulterior things to Chang Ning. We might as well guess boldly that the first three deceased also aroused the interest of the skinning killer because of some things this mysterious man in black had done to them." Zhou Tong Having said that, I drank my saliva.

"Then the most important thing now is what exactly did the man in black leave behind Chang Ning? As long as we know this, we will have a way to lure the skinning killer to appear." Yan Yongjie also very much agrees with Zhou Tong's point of view.

"But we have conducted a comprehensive and careful inspection of Chang Ning, and she is no different from before." Chen Siguo is not optimistic, although he also knows that this is the key point at present.

At this time, Zhou Tong began to look up and down Chang Ning with a pair of sneaky eyes.

Chang Ning felt uncomfortable when he looked at him like this, but he didn't want to get angry.

Fortunately, Yan Yongjie stepped forward immediately to save her, blocked Zhou Tong's gaze, and asked, "What the hell are you planning?"

But Zhou Tong ignored Yan Yongjie, hurriedly bypassed her, and then made a move that almost made everyone faint.

Like a pervert, he grabbed Chang Ning's arm, sniffed and licked it with his nose and tongue very obscenely.

Chang Ning was so frightened that she quickly pulled her arm out, but Zhou Tong held onto it tightly.

Of course, Yan Yongjie was the most annoyed, she never expected Zhou Tong to be so bold in front of her.

"You don't want to live anymore!" Yan Yongjie no longer cared about being reserved, and mercilessly twisted Zhou Tong's ear with one hand, and made a 180-degree rotation.

Zhou Tong screamed and let go of Chang Ning's arm.

Yan Yongjie kicked him to the ground again.
