Chapter 94. [Case 15] Layers of fog
Hu Zongren asked such a sudden and abrupt question, not only Zhao Jing, but also I felt a little surprised. But I still didn't say anything because I was really curious. From what we know so far, we only know that Zhao Jing
It must be related to Xuanyuan Society. As for what the relationship is and the depth of the relationship, we don’t know. However, although Xuanyuan Society is currently just testing Hu Zongren and me, it can be regarded as officially breaking up with each other after all.
We didn't like each other, and we even said that we were waiting to see each other's jokes. So Zhao Jing suddenly and inexplicably appeared in my and Hu Zongren's life circle at this time, which had to make us be more vigilant.
He even said that there was no way we could treat her as one of our own.
After Zhao Jing heard Hu Zongren's question, she pretended to be stupid at first. She said uncomfortably, "I don't understand what you are talking about." Hu Zongren told her, "Don't pretend to be confused. Since the Xuanyuan Society's cases have all gone through
If you transfer it to us, can you still say that it doesn't matter to you? We have already guessed it, we just don't know who is behind you. I would like to give Mr. Hu a warm word, children of the world, don't be such a mother-in-law.
Zhao Jing didn't speak for a long time, and she didn't know whether she was continuing to act stupid or having an ideological struggle. She should know better. Hu Zongren and I would find out sooner or later. Instead of directly confronting the person behind him, we should take the initiative now.
Confession is a way to repair our relationship. I also deliberately slowed down the car at this time, and then walked slowly on the side of the road.
"The rock of Hutouyan is the city of Jiangbei City." After a long silence, Zhao Jing suddenly said this. When I heard this sentence, I felt that I could not continue driving calmly, so I quickly pulled over and stopped.
I turned to look at Zhao Jing, but I didn't know what to say.
Yes, these sentences are the last two of the four sentences that Taoist Ma threw to us. The first two sentences are about the cave of Hongya Cave and the door of Dongshui Gate. We have also been to these two places.
We have explored this matter, and indeed dug deeper and deeper into this matter, and in the end we had to pay attention to it. I thought that after Hu Zongren and I went to Chengdu to show off our cards to the masters of Xuanyuanhui, everyone would be a little more open-minded about things.
It saves me from having to be on guard day and night, and I haven’t thought of these words in my mind for several months that Taoist Ma said that we didn’t understand at first. Now that Zhao Jing said this, I suddenly
Realize that out of these four sentences, we have only solved two of them, leaving Hutouyan and Jiangbeicheng.
Hu Zongren was also surprised. He asked Zhao Jing, who is Taoist Ma to you? Zhao Jing said, he is my senior brother.
Although Taoist techniques are subdivided into different categories, they are all the same at the root. Unless they are well versed in Taoism, it would be difficult for an outsider to distinguish the changes in details. We already knew that Taoist Ma is Jingming.
The master of the sect, who uses charms to catch ghosts, is considered high-class in Taoism. After meeting Zhao Jing for the first time, Hu Zongren and I also inquired separately, but we only found out about her master, and I only connected with each other at this moment.
An old-timer, he is also from the Jingming sect.
Hu Zongren asked Zhao Jing, but Ma Taoren told us before that he also had a senior brother, and he himself fell in love with his senior brother's woman. What was that woman's name? Hu Zongren asked me, I said Xie Dongmei.
Hu Zongren said, yes, since he also has a senior brother, how can he be your senior brother? Zhao Jing said, although Senior Brother Ma’s senior brother and I are from the same sect, we are not the same teacher. That is ours
Master's mountain collection address. Because my uncle passed away early, that senior brother has been studying with my master because he started early. But my senior brother Ma is the eldest brother in my master's side, so he
He calls him senior brother. Zhao Jing said that in fact, because she had been studying with her master in her early years, she had rarely seen senior brother Ma. She had never even seen that senior brother, only heard about it.
I nodded. It is common in the industry to call each other senior brothers out of respect. Hu Zongren asked again, but your senior brother Ma, didn’t he say that he had quit the Xuanyuan Society more than ten years ago? I was with my master back then.
When Xing Yazi entered the Xuanyuan Society, he no longer had the title of Senior Brother Ma. He himself had long claimed to be an abandoned disciple of the Xuanyuan Society. How could this be related to him again? Zhao Jing sighed and said, Senior Brother Ma is indeed
Although he withdrew from the Xuanyuan Society, the contact between him and the Xuanyuan Society has never been interrupted for so many years. And I met you this time precisely because of Senior Brother Ma’s recommendation. I asked Zhao Jing what he recommended.
Already? Zhao Jing said, I am also a member of the Xuanyuan Society.
Although unexpected, every word Zhao Jing said at this moment seemed to answer Hu Zongren and I's long-standing doubts. During the previous dealings with Ma Daoren, I always felt that there was no beginning and no end, and I always felt that there were some things in my heart that were not clear.
Understanding what Zhao Jing said at this moment made me connect everything I had experienced in the past few months, as if I had gotten an answer that was closest to the truth. At the same time, another terrible question appeared, so
I thought about it and asked Zhao Jing, then, Ma Daoren did not come to us in person, but gave us his phone number, and then set up a scheme with you to get into our life circle. What was his intention?
Zhao Jing stopped answering and just said after being silent for a while, you will know all this when it is time for you to know it. I asked her what did you mean by saying this? You still have to tell me at this time
Are we cheating? Zhao Jing said, it’s not that we’re cheating, it’s because she doesn’t know either. Senior Brother Ma’s whereabouts have always been rather secretive, and he never lets his junior sister get involved in his own affairs. After all, doing all this by himself is repaying the original.
Brother Ma’s introduction, otherwise it would be really difficult for me to gain a foothold in the industry. I sneered and said, do you think you are established now? You probably don’t know what Xuanyuan Club will do to our two brothers. If you knew
, will you still join?
Zhao Jing was silent for a while, and we all fell silent after these words. Soon, Zhao Jing opened the car door and got out of the car. After closing the car door, he said to Hu Zongren by the window, Xuanyuan
From now on, I will be responsible for informing you of the association’s cases. Don’t worry about what kind of organization I have joined. I only know that my senior brother will never harm me. Hu Zongren cursed you, you fucking stupid woman, your senior brother.
If I don’t harm you, do we seem to be the ones who want to harm you? By doing this, you are helping them harm us, you know? Zhao Jing didn’t answer, and her expression was a bit complicated. I have seen such an expression on Sister Cai’s face before.
Countless times, basically every time I went out to do business, I deliberately told her not to worry. She told me to be careful but her face was full of worry, so I knew that when Hu Zongren said these words
At that time, Zhao Jing was actually shaken, or at least suspicious.
But she didn't say anything. She just covered her hair with the hood of her sweatshirt, put her hands in her pockets, turned around and left in the opposite direction to us, and never looked back. Hu Zongren and I didn't know what to do.
Done, Hu Zongren said to me, it’s over now, any small move will be clearly known to the other party. I asked Hu Zongren, should we get out of the car and chase her? Hu Zongren said with a wry smile, after catching her again
No matter what, this woman is determined, and she won't look back even if you talk nonsense.
So I no longer asked, but sent Hu Zongren home first and then returned home by myself. It was already very late when I got home, but the light in the living room was still on because Sister Cai was sitting in the living room reading a book.
I asked her why she was up so late, but she smiled and said that the book was very good, so she read it for a while. I asked her why didn't you lie down on the bed and read it? She said that the sofa in the living room was comfortable. I actually
I know that she is waiting for me to come home. For a long time, I have been living under the expectant eyes of people around me. Although it is very warm, it is also very stressful. Due to career choices, I left this place without hesitation.
It is a road of life and death. I originally thought that home would be my final harbor, but I found that everything I did was just making the people who cared about me more worried.
That night, I thought a lot, and the thing I thought about the most was regression.
About three or four days later, Hu Zongren called and said that Zhao Jing was looking for him and that the fifteenth case was coming. I counted on my fingers. If I include this one, there are still 9 cases left. According to me
With the speed with which Hu Zongren handles cases, he can usually finish them all within three days, with about four days of rest during the period. In other words, each case lasts about a week, and the remaining nine cases, calculated in this way
If so, it will only take about two months. After more than two months, can I regress? Can I no longer have anything to do with all this?
Hu Zongren told me that in the past, when the victim called us directly, he would more or less tell us the general situation of the matter on the phone, but now since Zhao Jing took over as the contact person, he always asked us to get to her first.
She would not tell us until she got there, which made us very passive, because at least during the period before we saw her, we would feel uneasy. Each Xuanyuan Hui case was more difficult and each one more difficult than the last.
Seriously, we just experienced the living dead a few days ago. What tricks will they play this time? Can we really get through the remaining 9 cases? Although that is said, we still have to go.
, so I took my things and went out to meet with Hu Zongren. Before leaving, I deliberately did not tell Sister Cai that I was going to handle a case, but simply said, I will go out for a while.
