Zhou Tong Detective Series

Chapter 93 Zhou Tong Detective Series IV: The Skinner (27)
Yan Shan nodded, and then continued to tell the past bit by bit.

At that time, Yan Shan and the others also asked around many times, but no one in the surrounding villages or nearby towns knew Qiu Hua.Yan Shan even went to the Public Security Bureau, but he couldn't find any clues about Qiu Hua's origin.

In the end, there was no other way. The whole family worked together to save the woman to the end. First, take this woman in, and then slowly help her find her family members, and maybe she will recover her memory, so that would be easier.

It happened that Yanshan's martial arts school had just started at that time and needed help, so the family moved Qiu Hua from their hometown to the city, and began to be busy recruiting students for the martial arts school.

"Your mother was probably in her early twenties at that time. It is no exaggeration to say that she was the most beautiful woman your grandfather had ever seen in his life." Yan Shan praised Yan Yongjie's mother's beauty without hesitation.

The old saying that "beautiful women cause trouble" is not a lie. Throughout the ages, there have been countless disasters caused by beautiful women, but most of the things were caused by men, and women were finally blamed.

This time was no exception. Although the plot was clichéd, it actually happened in the Yan family.

The two sons, Yan Wei and Yan Feng both fell in love with Qiu Hua.

Although Qiu Hua lost the memory of the past, his body still exuded a noble and elegant temperament, which made people dare not profane.And Yan Wei and Yan Feng are also secretly in love, but they dare not confess.

But this kind of thing cannot escape the eyes of the old couple, but they also have worries. It is not a good thing that both sons fall in love with a woman.

From Yan Shan's point of view at that time, it seemed that the second son and Qiu Hua were getting closer, after all, Yan Feng's character was more pleasing to girls.

But what surprised the old couple was that after more than a year, it was Yan Wei who came to them holding Qiu Hua's hand.

They couldn't understand the love of young people, but it was still a good thing after all. The two elders were very happy and agreed to them immediately, and arranged a date to prepare for their wedding.

But at this time, Yan Feng left the house without saying a word, without a trace.

Yan Shan can also understand the second son, so he doesn't blame him. It is inevitable for young people to suffer such setbacks, and it will naturally get better after a while.

Flash forward to another year.

Yan Wei and Qiu Hua lived a sweet life, and at this time Qiu Hua was pregnant again, and the whole family was happy.

When Qiu Hua was about to give birth, Yan Feng came home suddenly, but his personality changed a lot, and he didn't like to talk much.

However, the family members are still very happy for Yan Feng's return, and they also care about him, asking for his health, hoping to untie the knot in his heart as soon as possible.

But no one thought that Qiu Hua would have a dystocia. Although Yan Yongjie was born, she passed away due to hemorrhage, and she didn't even have time to look at her daughter.

The whole family was immersed in grief.

At this time, Yan Feng seemed to be more sad than everyone else. He seemed to be crazy, and firmly believed that Qiu Hua's death was not an accident, but someone deliberately killed her.No matter how his family tried to persuade him, he refused to listen, and even demanded that Qiu Hua's body be dug up for an autopsy.

Yan Wei couldn't stand this, and firmly disagreed, and had a big fight with Yan Feng, and the two even fought.However, Yan Wei's cultivation in martial arts is not as high as his younger brother Yan Feng's. Although the gap is not that big, but when masters fight, the outcome is close.

The two brothers were really angry, and all of them used desperate moves for a while. In a fierce battle, Yan Feng beat Yan Wei seriously.At this time, Yan Shan arrived, and seeing this scene, he was both regretful and angry.

Yan Feng woke up at this time, seeing that he had seriously injured his brother, after all, he was a real brother, and felt regretful in his heart.

Yan Shan immediately severed the father-son relationship with Yan Feng, drove him out, and forbade him to come back.

And after that, Yong Jie's grandma also had a stroke because of her sadness and anxiety, she couldn't get sick, and passed away within a few months.Yan Shan regards all of this as Yan Feng's fault, and is even more unable to forgive his actions.

Yan Yongjie has roughly understood what happened back then after hearing this, but because Yan Shan can only understand what happened from his perspective after all, there are still many details that he doesn't know.This also leaves a lot of ambiguity in the whole thing.

Fortunately, things are not as bad as she imagined. There is no irreconcilable conflict between grandpa and second uncle. It's just that both grandpa and second uncle are stubborn. After all, people are flesh and blood, so how could they not reconcile as before?

"Grandpa, although Second Uncle is a bit wrong about this matter, we can't put all the responsibility on him."

Yan Shan didn't make a sound. In fact, after so many years, he also understood this truth, but what he was really angry about was that Yan Feng really didn't come back. If he was willing to come back and bow his head to admit his mistake, he would not forgive him.

Seeing that her grandfather's attitude was no longer so tough, Yan Yongjie secretly decided in her heart that if she had a chance, she would definitely find her second uncle and let him come back.

"Grandpa, why was Second Uncle so sure that Auntie was killed?" Zhou Tong suddenly came out from the back room and asked at this moment.

"You..." Yan Shan was so emotional just now that he didn't notice that Zhou Tong came back early and heard most of what happened behind the house.

Zhou Tong immediately said with a playful smile: "If you don't listen, you can listen, Grandpa, don't be angry."

Yan Yongjie also hurried over at this time, pulled Zhou Tong, deliberately interrupted and asked: "Yes, grandpa, why did the second uncle be sure that my mother was killed by someone?"

Seeing their intimacy, Yan Shan sighed inwardly, it really is the girl who is extroverted.

"Oh, he didn't have any reason, it's just unreasonable. At first I asked him why, but he couldn't even fart. He just kept saying that Qiu Hua was killed, and he wanted to open a museum for an autopsy."

"This is a bit strange. It seems that I have to find out about it with my second uncle." Zhou Tong said to himself, he no longer regarded himself as an outsider.

Yan Shan snorted. In fact, he always had this question in his heart. Although Yan Feng was a bit willful, he wouldn't do such an outrageous thing.But if he had evidence, why didn't he say it?
"Yong Jie, there is one more thing I must tell you." Yan Shan sat down slowly and poured himself a cup of tea.

Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie also sat down quietly, looked at Yan Shan, and waited for him to speak.

"This matter is about your father's death." Yan Shan said with a sigh.

"Dad? Didn't you tell me that Dad was in a car accident?" Yan Yongjie immediately stood up and asked.

"Don't get excited, sit down and listen to grandpa." Yan Shan paused, and continued: "When you were nine years old, your second uncle suddenly sent a letter to your father. I was so excited that I didn’t even pack anything. I took the letter and went out. Within a month, there was news from outside that your father was in a car accident. I rushed there immediately, but unfortunately your father has passed away. But after many years Come on, I have always felt that this matter is not simple. Your father may not have died in an accident. But I have been investigating for many years, but I have not found any clues. The letter and your second uncle seem to have evaporated, and there is no clue. And Now if you meet your second uncle again, you can ask him about it."

Yan Yongjie recalled that back then, her father had indeed left home in a hurry. As for the letter, she was too young at the time, so she didn't have much memory of it.

But right now, according to grandpa, the death of his parents seems unusual. To know the truth, he must find his second uncle Yan Feng again and ask him clearly.

"Grandpa didn't want to tell you these things at first, but grandpa is old now and can't run anymore. You can only find out the cause of your parents' death and the truth, so as to comfort their spirits in heaven." Yan Shan patted Yan Yongjie's shoulder lightly, It turned out to be old tears.

"Grandpa..." Yan Yongjie also sobbed and couldn't speak, and hugged Yan Shan tightly.

Faced with the test results, Chen Siguo had to believe this bizarre fact.

Ning Xi died, and had been dead for a year.

So who was that "girl" he saw?And why did she pretend to be Ning Xi and give herself such a precious animal bone? What was her purpose?And about Luo Yanting, is she telling the truth again?
……

At first he thought they were getting closer to the truth, but now there are many more questions.However, if it is assumed that the person who dressed up as Ning Xi is a "skinner", then it seems that many questions can be explained.

Chang Ning did not agree with this inference. Her experience made her very sure that the other party was a man, and if a man wants to become such a delicate and beautiful woman, even if the face can be changed, what about the body shape?Is it possible to completely change the body shape?It was hard for her to believe such an unreasonable thing.

But she couldn't express this thought in front of Chen Siguo without any scruples. After all, it involved the deep scars in her heart that she didn't want to touch again.

However, she still put forward her own opinion, that is, the "Flayer" may not be a person, it is very likely an organization, or at least a small group of three to four people.

Chen Siguo discussed this possibility with her, and felt that it was indeed a very possible thing, but no matter what kind of speculation and inference it is, there is no evidence at present.

What's the next step?
Now the skinner has taken the "flaming sword", the esoteric religion has taken the "six paths of relics", and there is still a "Bodhi Pearl" left.Both the Esoteric Cult and the Skinner must be eyeing this last secret treasure. If we can find the "Bodhi Pearl" in advance, and then lay a net, as long as the strategy is right, it is not impossible to wipe out both the Esoteric Cult and the Skinner.

But the most critical part of this plan is to find the whereabouts of the "Bodhi Pearl", but this is simply an impossible task for them.

Because in any database they could find, there was not even a single record of the "Bodhi Bead". This thing seemed to be a treasure that only appeared in fairy tales. How to find it in the real world?

The only clue is that the village head of Keluodong Village mentioned this "Bodhi Pearl" to them, but he doesn't seem to know where the "Bodhi Pearl" is.

Just when they were all helpless, Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie came back.

Chen Siguo and Chang Ning immediately told them about the plan.

Zhou Tong and Yan Yongjie also thought it was feasible, and Yan Yongjie brought them the hope of finding the "Bodhi Pearl".

"I once heard my second uncle Yan Feng say that he is protecting the 'Bodhi Pearl'. As long as we can find him, I believe we can carry out this plan." Yan Yongjie has already confirmed that the mysterious person Yan Feng is her second uncle, so she put This incident was also told to Chen Siguo and Chang Ning.

"This is the best, where is your second uncle now?" Chen Siguo asked.

Yan Yongjie shook her head and said, "I don't know now either."

"It's okay, it's always easier to find people than things." Chang Ning said while casting his eyes on Zhou Tong.

Yan Yongjie thought for a while and said, "But maybe I can find a way to contact him."

"In that case, I'll accompany you." Zhou Tong held Yan Yongjie's hand.

Chang Ning on the side clenched his fist tightly, his nails seemed to be digging into his flesh.

"No need, Second Uncle doesn't seem to want to see too many people. If there are too many people, I'm afraid he won't show up." Yan Yongjie didn't notice the change in Chang Ning, she just looked at Zhou Tong and said softly.

Zhou Tong knew she was telling the truth, but he was not at ease letting her go alone.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't doubt Yan Feng's identity, because if Yan Feng wanted to hurt Yong Jie, Yan Yongjie would have died long ago.What worries him is that the esoteric religion is using them.From the beginning, he felt that he and Yan Yongjie were deliberately involved by the secret religion, but at that time he didn't know the purpose of the secret religion, but now he has vaguely understood.The esoteric religion first coerced him to find the "Six Dao Relics", and then wanted to use them to find the "Flaming Sword", but the sudden appearance of the skinner disrupted their layout.But now, if Yan Feng is really the guardian of the "Bodhi Pearl", the Esoteric Cult will probably use Yan Yongjie to get the "Bodhi Pearl", but they don't know what trap they have set up.

But if Yan Yongjie is not allowed to go to Yan Feng, how can this case continue to be investigated?It is even more difficult to dismantle the sect and catch the skinner.

So Zhou Tong couldn't make a decision for a while. After thinking about it for a while, he still believed that Yan Yongjie's safety was the most important thing, so in order to dissuade Yan Yongjie, he expressed his speculation.

Although Yan Yongjie believed Zhou Tong's words, she had made up her mind that she must find Yan Feng no matter in public or private.

Chen Siguo and Chang Ning didn't care about Zhou Tong's idea. They thought they could send someone to protect Yan Yongjie in secret. As long as Yan Feng was willing to cooperate and the police force, the esoteric sect couldn't play any tricks at all.

Zhou Tong saw that he was powerless to stop him, so he had no choice but to agree with Yan Yongjie's choice, but he decided to follow Yan Yongjie secretly. Now he can hardly trust the police. The almost death of Wang Minghan and Ge Weijun is the best example.

Yan Yongjie didn't know where Yan Feng went, but she still remembered that apartment, maybe she could find him there.

But when she came to the apartment again, the place was already empty, and the room was still the same as when she left, and the tables that had been smashed by Yan Feng were even scattered on the ground.

From this point of view, Yan Feng never came back.

Where will he go?

Yan Yongjie planned to search the apartment carefully, maybe she could find some clues here.

Chang Ning returned to her dormitory alone, and she lay down on the bed blankly, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable all over her body, and her heart was even more entangled.

She told herself again and again that she could not continue to be trapped in this relationship that was impossible to have any results. She had to face reality, let go of unrealistic fantasies, and return to a normal life.

But emotion is so unbelievable, and reason often doesn't work. As long as you are human, no matter who you are, even a psychologist, you can't get rid of her magic.

When she came, she was silent, but once she came, she was extremely turbulent and unstoppable.

As for Chang Ning, although she is an expert in psychology, she has never healed her inner wounds. She can only keep covering herself, hiding her wounds and pains where others cannot see them, and even some Sometimes, she can't see it herself.However, this scar has always affected her character and changed her, but sometimes she herself can't detect it.

Her love for Chen Siguo is just a woman's innate admiration for outstanding men, it's not love, even if she doesn't get it, she can deal with it calmly.But for Zhou Tong, she has another feeling, it is a kind of inner longing, a kind of longing to get it quickly, and to rest until death.

That's why she fell into the water with Zhou Tong, and even hoped to die in the icy lake with Zhou Tong. In this way, she also got him in some form.

This strong possessiveness made her lose her composure repeatedly.

But now, she was lying on the bed, but the pictures and scenes of Yan Yongjie being killed kept appearing in her mind, and she couldn't control her thinking to keep imagining this possibility.This thought even terrified her, but it also brought her inexplicable joy and excitement.

An almost crazy idea gradually emerged in Chang Ning's heart, as long as Yan Yongjie died, Zhou Tong would belong to her.

Section 24 Accident
Chen Siguo went all out. He used almost all the special police officers he could use, and asked them to disguise themselves as plainclothes. They were divided into groups of five, divided into more than a dozen groups, and placed in different sections of roads and at different times to follow Yan Yongjie to provide protection and surveillance.And in order to avoid the assassination of Wang Minghan and Ge Weijun last time, he went through every special police file one by one to ensure that there would be no internal problems.
