Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 80 Zhou Tong Detective Series IV: The Skinner (14)
"Zhou Tong!" Seeing him sitting silently for a long time, Chang Ning couldn't help but pat him, "I think it's depressing here, let's go out."

He nodded. Although he already had some ideas, he still couldn't solve this puzzle in a short time, and there was no point in staying here.

Two people came up from the secret passage and returned to the ground.

Chang Ning stretched her arms, then took a deep breath, the fresh air outside made her relax a lot.

"You are such a beauty, any normal man will have a dream about you." Zhou Tong moved closer to her, and inhaled the faint fragrance from her hair.

"I'm an expert in psychology, so don't use your tricks on me." Chang Ning shook his hair with a smile, "The more lustful a person looks on the outside, the heart may not be as wretched as he looks on the outside."

"It's really rare for someone to praise me so much." However, Zhou Tong didn't mean to step back at all. Instead, he stepped forward a few steps, getting closer to Chang Ning, and continued, almost touching her ear, "The weather is still early, and the scenery here is so beautiful. How about You take my hand and let's go for a walk."

Chang Ning turned her head and looked at Zhou Tong who was winking. She knew very well that Zhou Tong didn't want to belittle her all of a sudden, but she couldn't figure out what his purpose was for a while.

However, after hesitating for a moment, she took Zhou Tong's arm gently and obediently.

Like a couple, the two walked out of the temple leisurely and strolled along the forest path.

"You still have something to hide from us." Zhou Tong whispered in Chang Ning's ear with a smile on his face.

"No..." Chang Ning was caught off guard by his sudden question.

Zhou Tong didn't stop, and continued to say while walking: "Someone once approached you disguised as Chen Siguo."

"I've already said that."

"But you didn't say what happened to him?"

"Nothing happened..." Chang Ning recalled that embarrassing night, and wanted to shake off Zhou Tong's arm, but was firmly held by his other hand.

"This matter is related to the success of our plan!" Zhou Tong held her hand and looked into her eyes.

Chang Ning avoided his gaze, but her heart beat faster.

"I believe you know better than me that this skinned killer is a cunning, cautious, and thoughtful person. He can definitely see that we are deliberately luring him out now, so he will not be easily fooled." Zhou Tong let go of Chang Ning's hand , continued: "Unless we can irritate him and make him lose his mind."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. I'm pretty sure that the person who appeared in front of you under the guise of Chen Siguo is the skinning killer. But his actions this time are a bit strange, and I believe it probably has something to do with you. Tell me honestly, the relationship between you Did something happen during this time?" Zhou Tong continued to ask.

Chang Ning remained silent. As a woman, it was difficult for her to tell this fact.

"Blind people can tell that you like Chen Siguo, and the other party pretending to be Chen Siguo obviously knows this, so does he..." Zhou Tong stopped here and looked at Chang Ning.Although she has not admitted it personally, her expression has already told Zhou Tong that the matter is indeed in line with what he speculated.

Chang Ning calmed down at this time, Zhou Tong's words reminded her that something had happened and she had to face the reality, the most important thing now was how to catch the criminal.

"Yes, one night he disguised himself as Chen Siguo and had sex with me."

"You couldn't tell the difference?" Although Zhou Tong was admitted by Chang Ning himself, he was a little surprised that Chang Ning didn't realize that the other party was pretending.

"It's so lifelike, you can't tell it even in the daytime... However, he doesn't seem to be able to imitate the voice." Chang Ning sighed after finishing speaking.

"So, he had many chances to attack you, but he didn't kill you..." Zhou Tong pondered for a moment, then continued: "Do you mind playing a play with me?"

Chang Ning quickly understood Zhou Tong's thoughts, but she was not fully sure, so she asked back: "You don't really think he's infatuated with me, do you?"

"You are asking the question knowingly. There are too many such cases in psychology. The hunter is obsessed with the prey." Zhou Tong put his arms around Chang Ning's waist and continued to whisper in her ear: "We will know after we try."

After speaking, he showed his trademark smirk again.

"Don't tell me about this, or I will kill you!" Chang Ning pinched Zhou Tong's arm with a smile.

Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo went to find out about Yang Yang, because Chang Ning said that she had seen her in the Oulopaga temple.After discovering the third body that had been skinned and killed at that time, the police confirmed that the deceased was Yang Yang through DNA comparison tests.Will Chang Ning admit his mistake?Or a police verification error?Or is there another secret?Zhou Tong felt that this was a clue that could not be ignored, so he arranged for them to investigate the situation of the third deceased Yang Yang in detail.

On the other hand, because Zhuoga is familiar with Tibetan and the situation here, Zhou Tong arranged for him to investigate Liang Xiaowu.If Liang Xiaowu is really involved in the case, then he must have been to Tibet before, and he must have stayed there for a long time.What is the relationship between him and Gal Dongzan?Why did he kill Gal Dongzan?And where did the thangka that he took away go?And why did people from the secret sect kill Liang Xiaowu?
Yan Yongjie, Chen Siguo, and Zhuo Ga knew very well that finding the answers to these questions was crucial to the entire case.But in this way, they are truly scattered and cannot take care of each other.In Zhou Tong's plan to use Chang Ning to lure out the skinning killer, it seems that he didn't consider support at all.Can he protect Chang Ning alone and successfully catch the skinning killer?Doubts are in everyone's mind.

But just when they were uneasy, they had to concentrate on investigating the case.Zhou Tong and Chang Ning are now like a loving couple, traveling in Lhasa, kissing each other, leisurely.

Wherever there are many people, they will go to play.

"We've been doing this for several days without any movement. Can you do this?" Chang Ning asked suspiciously, leaning on Zhou Tong's ear.

"Believe me, the past few days are just laying the groundwork, and tonight is the final blow!" Zhou Tong said, kissing her face unexpectedly.

Chang Ning couldn't laugh or cry, these few days Zhou Tong took advantage of it from time to time, which caught her off guard.At first, she was extremely disgusted, but because of doing things, she had to endure it.But as time went by, her psychology gradually changed.She has always been secretly in love with Chen Siguo, and emotionally rejected other men.However, what happened suddenly that night made it difficult for her to face Chen Siguo again, and that strong love faded away.

In the past few days, she has unconsciously compared Zhou Tong and Chen Siguo in her mind.Zhou Tong is not as handsome, calm, graceful, and cynical as Chen Siguo, but he is better at being humorous and knowledgeable.She gradually began to like staying with this man, and felt a lot more relaxed.When she thinks of Yan Yongjie, she even has a feeling of jealousy. Every time at this time, she has to remind herself repeatedly that she is just acting now and must control her emotions.

But this feeling, the more you suppress it, the stronger it becomes.Chang Ning herself understands this truth, but since she was a child, her parents divorced and she lived with her father, and her stepmother treated her badly, so she learned to control and suppress her feelings early on, and it is precisely because of this that she chose psychology.Her strong sense of self-protection and control is her strength and also her biggest shortcoming.It was because she suppressed her feelings for Chen Siguo in the past and had nowhere to release them, that's why someone took advantage of this weakness, causing her psychological defenses to collapse in an instant, and she became confused and infatuated.

She knows herself, but she can't change herself.

Zhou Tong didn't notice this change in Chang Ning's heart, and he put all his energy on the plan to catch the skinning killer.He must not fail, because once he fails, it is not as simple as starting over from the beginning, but it may cost Chang Ning and his own life.

He is adventurous, but by no means suicidal.

His seemingly random journeys were carefully arranged with only one purpose, so that the skinned killer could not ignore their existence.

According to the plan, tonight is the day to force the skinned killer to show up.

Yang Yang's situation was the most unusual among the three deceased, and it was also quite mysterious.She resigned from a well-known foreign company in Shanghai three years ago and came to Tibet alone, wandering around without a fixed place to live.Although the police conducted many investigations, they had the least amount of information on her.For such a long time, she hasn't found a job, and she doesn't seem to just come to travel, so what is she doing in Tibet?However, it is not easy to find the answer to this question. She doesn't have much contact with people, her whereabouts are erratic, and she seems to be hiding something intentionally.

However, for a long time, as a victim, the police paid limited attention to her and did not conduct further investigations.But when Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo planned to investigate in depth, they found that there were very few clues to be found.The place she originally rented has now entered a new tenant, and all the things about her have been cleaned up long ago, and there is no way to start.The only thing that can be found is that she was seen at the Sheraton Lhasa Hotel on the day she was killed.

Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo rushed to the hotel immediately, checked the video surveillance of the day, and found that Yang Yang had appeared in the hotel lobby.In order to further understand the situation, they found the front desk clerk who was working that day.

"Recall, have you seen this person?" Chen Siguo took out Yang Yang's photo and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter took the photo, looked at it carefully, and said without thinking, "If I remember correctly, she came to the hotel two days ago."

Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo were shocked.

"Two days ago, you saw her?"

Seeing their surprised expressions, the waiter looked at the photos again and said with certainty, "Yes, it's her. Her voice is hoarse, and she came here at around one o'clock in the morning. I happened to be on duty that night, so I was very impressed."

"Can you accompany us to the monitoring room and identify it?"

"can."

They went back to the monitoring room of the hotel and called up the videos from the previous two days. At [-]:[-] in the morning, a figure appeared in the empty hotel lobby.

"It's her!" The waiter said quickly, pointing at the screen.

However, due to the angle of the video monitor and the fact that the other party was wearing a hat and scarf, the face could not be clearly seen from the video.

"Do you remember what she was doing here?"

"She came here to pick up things." The waiter recalled, and continued to add: "She came to the hotel to rent a safe before... There should be a record of this on the computer at the front desk of the hotel, you can check it out."

Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo immediately consulted the computer data in the hotel. Sure enough, on the morning of December 2157th last year, that is, the day before the body was found, Yang Yang rented a safe marked [-] here.

Because there are detailed records, through the hotel manager, they opened the safe rented by Yang Yang.

They thought that the contents inside had been taken away by Yang Yang, but there was still a piece of paper in the safe.

This is an old A4 printing paper with stains on it, as if it was picked out of a trash can.Two words were written in a ballpoint pen on the paper: Help me.Below the text, there is also a sketch of a rhombus bracelet.

Holding the note in hand, Yan Yongjie and Chen Siguo looked at each other. In this midwinter season, both of them were sweating faintly on their foreheads.

Chapter 13
Tianya Resort is located on the outskirts of Lhasa, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with magnificent scenery.It has a vast area and mainly rents out small villas to tourists for vacation. It is very popular because of its complete facilities and elegant environment.

Zhou Tong booked a villa in Tianya Resort and planned to have a "date" with Chang Ning here.

The villa is built with high-quality wood, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. The interior decoration is also ingenious, and it also exudes a faint fragrance of logs.If a real couple came here, they probably couldn't help but kiss passionately.

But when Zhou Tong and Chang Ning came in, they first checked the doors and windows, closed the gauze curtains, and then observed the environment outside the villa.

Each villa here is tens of meters apart, and there are gardens and rockeries to separate them, which ensures the privacy of each villa.This is why Zhou Tong chose this place. The garden with dense forests and rockeries of various shapes allow voyeurs to hide easily.

At this time, it was already evening, Zhou Tong and Chang Ning took their time and enjoyed a candlelight dinner on the first floor, talking and laughing happily during the dinner.Zhou Tong is even more provocative with words, which makes Chang Ning sometimes shy and silent, sometimes laughing, sometimes beating and scolding, even in the cold outside, he can feel the warmth of the spring breeze inside.

Red wine and food make Chang Ning as gorgeous as a rose.In the warm room, she had already taken off her coat and changed into a sexy, close-fitting long skirt, her almost perfect lines could be seen at a glance.She was slightly drunk, or she wished she could be drunk, and she couldn't tell whether it was acting or real.But she hopes that all of this is true, she hopes that Zhou Tong can hug her tightly, kiss her, touch her... She is like a long-quiet volcano, the fiery lava is covered in dust, lonely, lonely, hoping to be love, lit...

Zhou Tong took her hand and walked upstairs to the bedroom.

Pushing open the door of the bedroom, the layout in the room is warm and romantic, pink curtains, sexy oil paintings, big red bed...everything makes people imagine.

Chang Ning couldn't help but fell into Zhou Tong's arms.

"Hey! Are you okay? Are you drunk with just a little wine?" Zhou Tong supported Chang Ning and patted her face.

At this time, Chang Ning just woke up like a dream, his face flushed.

"You're just drunk, didn't you promise to act like a bit!"

Zhou Tong nodded, let go of Chang Ning, walked quickly to the window of the bedroom, and drew the gauze curtain so that the outside could only see the inside dimly, but not clearly.

"The rest is up to you." He sat on the rocking chair in the room and looked at Chang Ning leisurely.

"Rely on me?" Chang Ning hadn't fully recovered from the fascination that was suddenly interrupted just now, and there was a trace of anger when he spoke.

"Well, have you ever watched a tertiary movie?" Zhou Tong smiled obscenely.

"No...no!" Chang Ning was a little annoyed at herself. She was calm and not showing emotions, which is a necessary quality for a psychologist, but she couldn't do it in the past few days with Zhou Tong.

"You psychologist, you are so unprofessional in deceiving people, you must have seen a lot." Zhou Tong put away his smile at this moment, and said seriously: "If you want to imitate the voice of the heroine in it, you must shout provocatively, Loudly, shout as much meaty as you can!"

Chang Ning now understands that Zhou Tong wants her to "call the bed".Of course she knew that Zhou Tong wanted to stimulate the other party in this way, but if she wanted to call Zhou Tong that way, how could she speak it out.

"Hurry up." Zhou Tong urged, "I'm afraid the other party will have doubts after a long time... My baby, take off your clothes and let me hurt you hard!"

"You...you turn around." Chang Ning whispered to Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong knew she was embarrassed, so he stopped teasing her and turned around as he said.

Chang Ning took a deep breath. She calmed down, put aside distracting thoughts, and began to moan pretendingly. Slowly, her voice became louder and more realistic.If you didn't see it with your own eyes, you would really think that there was a cloud and rain in Wushan in the room.

But what Zhou Tong didn't expect was that Chang Ning's yelling voice was so charming and alluring. Although he turned his back to her and tried his best to control his emotions, hearing such a voice, his heartbeat still accelerated and his whole body was hot. The body reacts naturally and instinctively.

But just when his mind was fluttering, there was a heavy knock on the door downstairs.

Chang Ning closed his mouth and looked at Zhou Tong with a little nervousness in his expression.

"You close the doors and windows, I'll go down and have a look first." Zhou Tong was extraordinarily calm at this moment.

"You seem to have forgotten that I am the policeman." Chang Ning lifted up her long skirt, and took out a delicate pistol from the holster tied to her right leg.

Seeing her slender and fair legs, Zhou Tong's nosebleed almost spewed out.

At this time, the knock on the door also changed from heavy to light, and gradually stopped.

The two of them stopped hesitating and quickly went downstairs to the door.
