Chapter 320 Chu Renmei
"Ajie, what does second-hand gold mean?"
On the phone, Yan Zhen heard Liao Wenjie's question and didn't react for a moment. After thinking about it, he still didn't know why.
"The situation is like this. My informant on Neon's side conveyed a piece of information..."
Gold is a strategic material and has been since ancient times. Its rarity and stability determine that it is a global strategic reserve resource.
Regardless of gold's important role in industry, electronics, aerospace and other fields, its value alone is irreplaceable for its social attributes of resisting inflation, hedging risks, and strengthening the internationalization of national currencies.
At least, gold cannot be replaced until a ‘new gold’ emerges.
Two hundred and forty tons, not openly imported, is really a lot.
"I understand. Just wait a moment. I'll call you back later." The matter was serious. After listening to what Liao Wenjie said, Yan Zhen hurriedly hung up the phone.
Liao Wenjie put away his cell phone and drove straight to the police station. The gold matter was not urgent for the time being. Lao Zhang had a more difficult case on his hands that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.
In the parking lot of the police station, the cell phone rang, and it was from Yan Zhen.
After a brief conversation for two minutes, Liao Wenjie hung up the phone and thought about the possibility of operation.
Yan Zhen said concisely on the phone, abbreviated to two words, "I want to," but the Germans buried European loot in Africa during World War II. The location and source of the gold were not suitable. In this case, two hundred Forty tons of gold is worthless.
If you don't take it, you won't be able to part with it, and it will be an advantage to others; if you take it, such a big pile of gold lumps will inevitably be leaked during transportation, which will have a bad impact.
Therefore, how to get gold without being noticed is a question worth pondering.
Liao Wenjie did not need to consider this issue. What he had to do was to find out that the 240 tons of gold was indeed real and contact Yan Zhen as quickly as possible.
If there are too many forces competing for it, it would be even easier to find a way to keep it buried underground so that it would never be dug up.
In addition, Yan Zhen is skeptical about whether gold still exists. After all, the nineteen sergeants who buried the gold disappeared collectively. In the past forty years, many private expedition teams have traveled to the desert.
"Returning empty-handed is not my way of doing things. Uncle Jiu and Yan Chixia can testify that I have always been able to pluck the hair of Yan Guo..." Liao Wenjie muttered, slammed the car door, and before taking two steps, he was faced with a A familiar face.
Nogami Saeko: "..."
Liao Wenjie: "..."
"Why are you here, are you following me?" x2
"I came to visit a friend..." x2
"..."x2
After a brief silence, Liao Wenjie smiled and waved goodbye to Nogami Saeko. The latter looked at his leaving figure thoughtfully and leaned against the car to wait.
Nogami Saeko's lips curled up. If I remember correctly, when Liao Wenjie received the call in the office, he asked the other party to prepare the files.
"Not only is he a senior assistant of a real estate company, he is also the boss of a paranormal consulting company. Now he has the identity of a policeman. This man is becoming more and more mysterious."
Knowing that curiosity killed the cat, and that a smart woman should remain mysterious and not be seduced by the other person's mystery, she couldn't help but become interested, even more curious than when she was on the cruise ship.
Want to know more about it!
…
In the office, Lao Zhang took out the prepared files and said seriously: "Ajie, this case is a bit weird. All the information is in the files. If there is anything you don't understand... I don't understand either, so don't embarrass me. "
"clear."
Liao Wenjie looked through the portfolio and scanned it ten lines at a time. Gradually, his expression changed from careless at the beginning to horror and horror. Finally, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth were filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.
Three days ago in the afternoon, three men and two women gathered at home to challenge the exciting soul-calling game. One of them, who was so idle that his balls ached, even prepared a bottle of corpse oil in order to commit suicide.
At the end of the game, one person died on the spot. His facial features were distorted and his death appearance was extremely miserable. It was as if he had seen something terrifying and died of excessive fright on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, two more young men died. One jumped from the building and the other committed suicide with a knife. Before his death, he strangled his biological mother.
Three out of five were eliminated, leaving only the last two.
"Ajie, be careful to control your expression, it's a bit... perceptive." Lao Zhang couldn't help but remind him. He wanted to say that Liao Wenjie smiled very pervertedly and that everyone would lose face when they were working together.
"Sorry, this case reminds me of some unpleasant memories."
Liao Wenjie took it casually, packed the file bag, and couldn't wait to leave the office: "Old Zhang, there is no need to contact other people. Leave the case to me and I will send the report to you as quickly as possible."
"Ajie, please pay attention, this case is quite evil."
"Don't worry, the Tao is as high as the devil, she can't defeat me."
"???"
Lao Zhang was confused. He didn't understand the relationship until Liao Wenjie closed the door and left.
…
In the parking lot, Liao Wenjie smiled as he walked. When he looked up, he saw Nogami Saeko again beside the car.
"Ajie, no, Officer Liao, are you going to investigate the case?" Nogami Saeko asked with a smile.
"Xiezi, it's really not good for a woman to be too smart. Although she usually won't be cheated, once she is cheated, she will never be able to get out of this life." Liao Wenjie curled his lips, opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.
Nogami Saeko smiled and got into the passenger seat. She came to the police station today to visit her friends. She didn't expect that the unexpected reward would be so big.
"Ajie, what case are you working on? Why did you stay in Neon for a month?" Saeko Nogami said with interest, wishing to solve all the mysteries on the spot and see Liao Wenjie clearly.
"Officer Nogami, pay attention to the occasion. This is not a neon sign. I am the only one who has the right to ask for your cooperation."
Liao Wenjie showed his police officer ID and showed his cards. He is a good policeman: "A friendly reminder, this case is very dangerous. If you don't want to leave a shadow in your future life, you'd better get out of the car now."
"It doesn't matter, I believe in your ability." Saeko Nogami replied with a smile. As far as his performance on the cruise ship was concerned, Liao Wenjie was very cautious and would never put himself in danger.
This is why she strongly invites Liao Wenjie to go looking for gold. There are too many uncertainties in the vast sand sea. With Liao Wenjie as a danger alarm, the probability of survival can be maximized.
Liao Wenjie's refusal to join made Nogami Saeko feel uncertain and suspected that he had 'predicted' something.
For this reason, she was planning to call tonight and tell her the house number of her hotel room.
It had no other meaning, it was just drinking. She was very confident in her drinking capacity and even more confident in sleeping pills, ensuring that Liao Wenjie would wake up the next morning and find that he had made the same mistake that all men would make.
"Well, since you have so much confidence in me, I won't stop you." Liao Wenjie smiled meaningfully, making Nogami Saeko feel chilled for no reason.
The sports car started and arrived at the scene of the first crime twenty minutes later, which was the apartment suite where The Conjuring Game was located.
Liao Wenjie raised his hand to touch the door lock, opened the locked door easily with a click, and strode inside.
Nogami Saeko followed closely. There were several traces of white lines fixed in the room. The evidence and corpses had been moved. Somehow, she, who was used to seeing corpses, suddenly felt that this room was spooky, even more so than a morgue. Be ice cold.
"Zezi, if you feel uncomfortable, go and wait for me in the car. I want to talk to the victim about the case."
"Victim!?"
Saeko Nogami was stunned when she heard this. She lowered her head subconsciously and looked at the white humanoid outline painted at Liao Wenjie's feet.
"Don't look, he's not here."
Liao Wenjie raised his finger and pointed at Nogami Saeko: "Do you feel cold? Yes, your senses are very keen, right behind you."
Saeko Nogami's scalp was numb, so she didn't look back stupidly, and quickly walked to Liao Wenjie and hugged his arm.
Even though she was scared, her expression remained unchanged.
Liao Wenjie grinned, turned and walked to the kitchen, turned on the faucet, took a glass of water and handed it to Nogami Saeko: "Here, drink some water to calm down the shock."
Nogami Saeko's eyes twitched and she refused the water glass brought to her: "Ajie, am I considered a very stupid woman in the eyes of you and Yu?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Then why do you think I would drink this glass of water?"
"Let you drink water. On the one hand, it is to calm your fears. On the other hand, the water source here is polluted. Drinking this glass of water is equivalent to planting a medium that allows you to see unclean things. At the same time, you will also be entangled by it." Come on, there’s a surprise tonight!”
After Liao Wenjie finished speaking gloomily, he saw Saeko Nogami's face was hesitant and seemed to really intend to have a drink. He suddenly asked curiously: "You don't seem to be surprised. Have you seen ghosts before?"
"I haven't seen it, but I heard someone mention it, so I really want to see what the backside of this world looks like." Nogami Saeko reached out to hold the water glass.
"No, no, there are many ways to see ghosts. This cup is too risky."
Liao Wenjie's eyes flashed with blue light, and he pointed his sword into Nogami Saeko's forehead. The latter's eyesight went dark, and when it became clear again, the whole world changed drastically.
The house, which was originally neatly furnished, is now filled with gray mist. The cracks in the walls, floor tiles, faucets, and even the water glass in Liao Wenjie's hand are filled with long, twisted black hair.
She lowered her head mechanically, and before she knew it, her feet were tightly entangled with black hair.
"Hiss!"
Nogami Saeko took a deep breath and opened her trembling eyelids, forcing herself to see the full picture of the 'haunted house'. Even though her face was ashen, she did not open her mouth to scream, but just tightened Liao Wenjie's arm in her arms.
"Zezi, you are so kind-hearted, no, I mean so brave. You are just an ordinary person. It is such a pity."
Liao Wenjie shook the water cup in his hand slightly. His resentment was instantly dispelled, his long hair disappeared, and the water in the cup was transparent and looked no different from normal domestic water.
He put down the water glass, dragged the stiff Saeko Nogami back to the living room, and sat down on the sofa covered with tangled black hair.
Nogami Saeko followed and sat down, her thick black hair wrapped around her waist and neck. Seeing this, her hands holding Liao Wenjie couldn't help but tremble.
"How about it, are you satisfied with the back side of this world?" Liao Wenjie leaned on the sofa, his long hair surrounding him quiet, with a sense of fear and aloofness.
"Ajie, you...who are you?"
"I thought you knew it when you were at Paranormal Company."
Liao Wenjie took out a business card and handed it over. Seeing Nogami Saeko's arms were stiff, he thoughtfully stuffed the business card into the lining of her shirt: "In your neon place, I am an exorcist, and I can also be an onmyoji, but I don't have a shikigami. .”
"Are you strong?"
"It should be considered very strong!"
Liao Wenjie raised his brows: "Although I have never killed anyone, I have eliminated so many evil ghosts and spirits that I can't even count them. Probably this many..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured to the number six.
"Six?"
"Six figures."
"..."
Just when Nogami Saeko couldn't bear the strange sight around her and was debating whether to sit on Liao Wenjie's lap, a pale figure crawled out of the white line outlining the corpse, making the room even colder.
"You have so much resentment, but who do you blame? Some games are really not meant to be played casually."
Liao Wenjie sighed, stood up and left the sofa, dragging Nogami Saeko to the ghost figure: "What do you know about that Chu Renmei? Tell me, and I will avenge you."
Upon hearing the name spoken by Liao Wenjie, the ghostly figure froze on the ground, slowly retreated, and retracted into the white line.
At this moment, a sad and sad tune came from the direction of the bathroom.
"When the husband is in your heart and the concubine is heartbroken, you will know your grievances"
"It's not easy to meet but easy to separate. It's too late to regret now"
Saeko Nogami's scalp was numb. Although she could not understand the lyrics of Cantonese opera, music knew no national boundaries. The beautiful tunes and eerie singing made her feel a strong sense of resentment in it.
Liao Wenjie turned around and looked towards the bathroom. Within his sight, a ghostly figure in blue floated, with long black hair covering his face. He flashed away one by one and came to him as if teleporting.
Her long hair was dancing in the wind, black blood was flowing down, and a big black mouth opened, roaring silently at Liao Wenjie.
Saeko Nogami's heartbeat was racing crazily. Unable to bear the oppression of fear, she closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look any further.
Liao Wenjie raised his hand and poked the blue ghost in front of him. In an instant, the resentment of the entire ghost disappeared, and there was no longer any chill.
"You can open your eyes. It's just a trace of resentment. She's not here."
Liao Wenjie struggled to pull out his hand, squatted down and tapped on the white line outlining the body: "Brother, I know you are still here. Tell me, where is Chu Renmei's body, and what is the name of that village?"
"Huangshan Village."
Let me share a little bit of unpopular knowledge. Aunt Mei is not an actress who has done many movies, but she is a very good voice actor. She has voiced anime characters such as Conan, Naruto, and Luffy. Thinking about these and Chu Renmei’s voice, it feels amazing... …And what’s even more amazing is that the encyclopedia shows that Saeko Nogami also dubbed the voice. I couldn’t find the corresponding accurate information, so I don’t know if it’s true or not.
