(05) Tears

---------

"What do you want to do now?" Xiao Gao looked at Si and Zhuo standing on the left and right sides. Their faces were also covered with dark clouds, but they were a little different. "Is it one person for another person, or..."

"It's up to us to find Wu Mo by ourselves." Sima Chaoqun seemed to have made a decision.

Zhuo Donglai was concentrating on looking at a half-woven spider web on the door sill, the spider was still running back and forth, its body only half the size of a fingernail was moving back and forth in the half web, its movements were steady, and its silk was spinning very quickly.

"Yes, isn't it just a red flower collection? With the three of us, can't we find one person?" Xiao Gao encountered such a thing when he first came to Jianghu, and his tone was a little excited, which made Sima Chaoqun look at it again. he glanced at

"Mr. Zhuo, why don't you speak?"

"Maybe, we can't find Wu Mo even if we dig three feet here." The spider web has finished, the spider stopped and rested quietly in it, waiting for its first prey. When weaving the net, Zhuo Donglai already had the answer, and he walked towards the door, "Because Wu Mo should not be in Honghuaji at this moment."

"You mean..he died?" Xiao Gao asked,

The other two standing there glared at him together.

"I think he's still in the Red Flower Collection." Sima Chaoqun retorted, "I wouldn't believe it if there were no secrets in the Red Flower Collection."

"That's good." Before Zhuo Donglai could answer, Xiao Gao said first, "Here are two letters, which means there are two groups of possible kidnappers. We just split into two groups. You are looking for you. Mr. Zhuo and I have our own plans. "

Sima Chaoqun saw that Zhuo Donglai didn't seem to refute, he flicked his sleeves and stepped out of the main entrance of the clinic, and disappeared after a few steps.

After he left, Xiao Gao looked at Zhuo Donglai, "What should we do now?"

"Didn't you just say, 'I have my own plans'?" Zhuo Donglai was not in a hurry, he just looked at the young man in front of him, seeing that he couldn't say a word for a long time, he asked again, "If I'm not here now Here, only you, how will you investigate this matter?"

Gao Jianfei quickly answered, "I don't know." Then he added, "It's because I can't think of it, and Mr. Zhuo knows that I can't, that's why he is willing to form a group with me. Let the vice hall master Sima Chaoqun find another way by himself."

Zhuo Donglai laughed, and laughed aloud, he felt more and more that Xiao Gao was a very interesting young man.At this moment, Xiao Gao rolled his eyes and asked him, "Does Mr. Zhuo really believe in that hall master?"

"You seem to have been very hostile to him just now?"

"I feel that he must have a great secret, deeper than the secret of this red flower collection." The young man glanced at the dark night outside,

Zhuo Donglai walked past him and stepped out of the clinic, "It's better not to know other people's secrets." Xiao Gao saw the square handkerchief in his hand from the side, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Where to go?"

"Go back to the restaurant."

How much silver is a human life worth?If you were to ask a doctor, he would say that human life is priceless.In the eyes of another kind of person, human life is also priceless, and what is valuable is only the money he can exchange for.What a shame, no buyer will come to buy it, and what is precious, reflects the killer's own value and the bones they are stepping on.

This is a shady profession, and even more a dangerous one.Behind the deal of a thousand dollars is not only the life that was bought, but also the killer who blocked his own life.

However, in Xiao Leixue's eyes, all of these were not worth mentioning.Just because he has a box.

I don't know how many celebrities and martial arts masters died under this box, so many that he is sitting on the chair at this moment, looking at the box on the table, he has already felt that this box is gradually gaining life and will , to be your own master.

And he himself is just the puppet of this box, its tool to kill people.

He ordered a table of food in the most luxurious wing of the most expensive restaurant in Luoyang, put the box on the table, and only ate a few mouthfuls of rice.Even though he has inexhaustible jewels and money, he doesn't feel the slightest joy, and he doesn't even have the interest to enjoy himself.At this moment, he was drinking wine with rice, because this feast was originally prepared for 'it'.

Even now he is still willing to continue taking orders to kill people, it is because of the requirement of 'it'.

Last night he was drinking alone, like all 'last nights' every night.After seeing the signal smoke, he still braved the heavy rain and night to go to the Earth Temple. Under the bricks of the niche, there was an extra piece of paper, on which was written the name of a person who asked him to kill, a very strange name , and a strange address.

------

Only half of the night passed, and the night was too dark. Zhuo Donglai and Gao Jianfei walked around for a long time before seeing the red restaurant again. The musician with white hair was still sitting on the stage.

"Didn't it mean that Wu Mo wasn't in Honghuaji? Why did we stay here instead?" Xiao Gao asked, looking at the girls on the stage from the corner of his eye from time to time.

"I didn't come to look for Wu Mo."

Only then did Gao Jianfei turn his eyes back, and looked at the person standing opposite, "Isn't Wu Mo the most important thing?" His eyes lit up again, "Mr. Zhuo is here to find Mr. Ji."

"It's not right, remember what I told you, I'm waiting for someone tonight." He looked sideways at Xiao Gao, and continued, "However, the situation is a little different from what I expected."

Gao Jianfei frowned, "The accident you said was about Wu Mo?"

Zhuo Donglai shook his head, just as he was about to say something more, a scent of ointment wafted over.Xiao Gao glanced outside first, "It's the proprietress who is here."

It was the bloody lady who had been absent for a long time who walked in. She walked straight to where the two were standing. As she got closer, Xiao Gao noticed that Zhuo Donglai's face was getting colder and colder.

"Mr. Zhuo, this girl lost her way outside. I met her and she said she came to look for you."

The proprietress left after she finished speaking, leaving Zhuo Donglai with a cold face and Gao Jianfei who was at a loss.At this time, Gao Jianfei discovered that it was not the girl in front of Zhuo Donglai who turned cold, but the gold hairpin on her head.

"Die Wu." Zhuo Donglai said these two words.

The girl on the opposite side approached slowly and raised her head. Only then did Gao Jianfei take a closer look at her appearance.

The girl named Die Wu looks two or three years older than Xiao Lian, but she is still young. She is wearing a plain and simple long dress. hairpin.At this moment, the unpainted face was looking at Zhuo Donglai, as if frightened by his tone, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Zhuo, you didn't ask me to come here..."

A sudden sound frightened her to stop, and Zhuo Donglai shattered the corner of the table with his palm.

Seeing that her tears were about to flow, Gao Jianfei was about to stand up and smooth things over.But Zhuo Donglai softened his tone and demeanor, and Die Wu had already thrown himself into his arms and burst into tears.

Zhuo Donglai patted her hair and coaxed her, Die Wu stopped crying quickly, and looked at Zhuo Donglai with red eyes, "Obviously you sent someone to send me a letter to Luoyang... "

"Then you have been to Luoyang Wushen Bodyguard Bureau?"

"Well, I just got there, and Mr. Wu said that you were waiting for us here, so he brought me here." She paused, and then said, "It's already very late when I got here, and he didn't take a few steps when I came in. gone..."

Gao Jianfei couldn't help interrupting her, "Mr. Wu is here too?"

Die Wu looked at him in bewilderment, "He's a young man, dressed in white, and everyone in the bodyguard calls him the Chief Hall Master."

"Wu Mo!" Gao Jianfei couldn't help shouting, but found that although Zhuo Donglai frowned, his eyes were still looking at the gold hairpin.He had no choice but to be patient and ready to listen to Die Wu's continuation.

But Die Wu stopped talking, Zhuo Donglai sighed, and said to Gao Jianfei, "I didn't expect that there will be a lot of accidents tonight. I think we'd better find a safe place to settle Die Wu first."

Who would have thought that the safe place in his mouth was actually the dead man's house in the hospital just now.Gao Jianfei looked around in surprise, and when he saw Die Wu calmly found an empty bed and sat down to rest, his eyes widened even more.

In the next second, Zhuo Donglai took him out of the clinic.

"Can you explain to me what's going on here?"

"Which one? Wu Mo or the daughter, or those two blackmail letters?"

"What is your relationship with Die Wu? Sister or lover?"

Zhuo Donglai never dreamed that the question he wanted to ask most now was actually this question, but thinking of his fascination with Die Wu, everything seemed to be taken for granted.

"Die Wu is my adopted sister."

"So, both siblings and lovers."

Zhuo Donglai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "If you like her, it's not impossible, but we'll discuss this issue later..."

"Who said I like her?" The young man blinked at him, "I'm just curious."

"Okay... curious..." Zhuo Donglai didn't want to argue with him, "You should be more curious than where are we going?"

Gao Jianfei showed a smiling face, "I already know the answer to this question, so I won't be curious." He pointed to the inn ahead, "We're going to the tunnel of Fusang Inn again."

"But I can't guess why you want to go through the tunnel again."

"Is the radish delicious?" Zhuo Donglai suddenly stopped and asked him a strange question.

Gao Jianfei looked at him even more strangely, "It's delicious, so what?"

"But I didn't eat it. I threw it at the corner of the earthen wall, but I think we won't find it again this time."

Now Gao Jianfei jumped up from the ground, "So, it's not that there is nothing in this tunnel. It's just that we went in the wrong direction."

"People will lose their direction in the underground. Walking down the same steps, there are secret doors on all sides. Different secret passages extend in different directions and lead to different destinations. Xiao Lian can't give me the key. But he didn't want to reject me, so he only gave me the key to a safe passage, and the real secret lies in another direction."

"You're finally smart once." Zhuo Donglai nodded, "So let's go down and have a look to verify my idea." The two of them opened the door of the wine cellar again while talking, and walked down.

-----

At night, Honghuaji suddenly made several loud noises, shaking the gravel ground, and people who were still drinking ran out of the restaurant one after another.When they found out the direction of the sound source, their faces became extremely ugly.

Those noises came from under their feet.

The blood lady looked at Zhuo Donglai and Gao Jianfei who appeared with the crowd for some reason, always showing hatred on their sweet faces.Those two people walked up to her, looked at her with a smile,

"Is the proprietress the same as those people, feeling sorry for the treasure you buried in the ground with the ****?"

The blood lady glared at the person in front of her, "You didn't go in?"

Gao Jianfei laughed, "It was really you who followed us and eavesdropped, and you were the one who locked the tunnel door."

"However, we didn't really go down."

The blood lady showed doubts again, "You said that you will go through another verification..."

"Whether it's the looted treasure or the hidden corpse, it will be gone if you blow it up." Gao Jianfei waved his hand and said, looking at the proprietress's face that was almost distorted with anger, he added, "Well, it's the first It was arranged when I left for the first time."

"So you wanted to destroy this place from the very beginning."

"Because I have never been interested in the dirty secrets of your Red Flower Collection." Zhuo Donglai looked at her indifferently, "I just want to ask the proprietress, which blackmail letter came from you?"

The bloody lady laughed back out of anger, but that smile was uglier than crying, "I'm really surprised, why did you come to this red flower collection?"

"We were really just passing by, but you can't make us peaceful," Zhuo Donglai said while walking away,

"Wait," the bloody lady shouted behind him, "you don't want to ask me who wrote the other letter?"

"I'm going to find him now." These were Zhuo Donglai's last words to her.

------

"Usually, killers won't cooperate with robbers, because killers are used to being alone and they are afraid of trouble, especially for a powerful killer like you." Zhuo Donglai stood at the door of the medical center. In front of him was a man in a cloak. The man's complexion seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost, indescribably weird and indescribably pitiful. In his hand, he was carrying a tan leather case without any pattern.

"No trouble," he said, his voice was indescribably poor, "I just wrote eight words."

"On the contrary, it saves effort. I don't want to find the target in this underground place full of secret passages."

"It would be better for the Wushen Escort Bureau to hand it over." Zhuo Donglai nodded slightly as if approving, and then asked, "Now, have you found it?"

The man glanced at him, "I don't know if they handed it over, I just know that the person I want to kill is inside." After speaking, he walked into the medical hall, Zhuo Donglai and Gao Jianfei walked behind him behind.

It was still the room where the corpses were placed before, with six corpses in it, and Die Wu sitting in it.Seeing Zhuo and Gao coming back, she stood up and walked towards Zhuo Donglai.The killer put his hand on the half-opened box, suddenly he hesitated, looked at the three people in front of him, showing a confused expression.

"Xiao Leixue," Zhuo Donglai called him suddenly, and pointed to the person standing beside him, "His name is Gao Jianfei, you should know him, but I didn't expect him to come to Honghuaji today."

The killer looked at him with a sudden and strange look, "You know my name?"

Zhuo Donglai didn't realize his expression yet, he was immersed in what he was going to say next, "I have a story that you already know, and some things that you don't know, besides that, I want to ask you something Question." He saw Xiao Leixue's hand supporting the half-opened box, and he frowned.

"What kind of charades are you two playing with each other?" Gao Jianfei who was standing aside couldn't help asking.

In a blink of an eye, Zhuo Donglai suddenly figured out where this weird place is.The killer he hired actually felt that he didn't know him, and he suddenly thought of another person, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The box had already been opened, and Xiao Leixue's strangely shaped sword was already in front of him. Zhuo Donglai only had time to bring Die Wu behind him with his left hand, and the other hand had a sword of just the right length before it was sheathed. Xiao Leixue was blocked by his sword.

"Should I be glad that you didn't fully use your box to its proper function." Zhuo Donglai looked at the weapon in Xiao Leixue's hand. It was not so much a sword as it was a monster, a weapon made of various parts. Assembled black monsters.

Xiao Leixue replied, "For a woman who doesn't know martial arts, such a weapon is really too much."

Gao Jianfei understood, he looked at Xiao Leixue with contemptuous eyes, "So, you took other people's money to kill such a weak woman?"

"What is more contemptible than him is the person who hired him." Zhuo Dong said,

"Who is he?"

"That person should be me." It was Zhuo Donglai who answered.The remaining three looked at him in shock.

"This is a very simple story, but too many accidents happened." Zhuo Donglai looked at the weapon hanging from Xiao Leixue's hand, and said slowly,

"Actually, this dart never existed. 'Qianjin' is a scapegoat I randomly found from the prison. Although I have already found out the way to contact this shadow killer, but I can't invite it without a serious reason. He. Wu Mo was just doing a play for me as a friend. It rained heavily last night, so I wrote the name "Qianjin" on a piece of paper, and sent someone to put it together with the token in the Land Temple where Xiao Leixue took over the business. dark grid."

"But that piece of paper was dropped in the middle of the package. When it was delivered, Xiao Leixue must have seen the name 'Die Wu'."

Xiao Leixue nodded.

"Is the name Die Wu very important?" Gao Jianfei didn't understand,

"Maybe not, but I haven't killed anyone in a long time."

"Why, are you short of money?"

There was nothing in Xiao Leixue's eyes, and he looked at the weapon in his hand, "I am not short of money, but it needs killing activities."

"What about today's Red Flower Collection?" Gao Jianfei asked again,

"Wu Mo didn't come to Honghuaji at all after he separated from me in the teahouse today. He returned to Luoyang and brought Die Wu who had just arrived there." He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "And I never sent What letter asked Die Wu to come to Luoyang."

"But last night in the rainy night pavilion, you told me you had it." A voice followed a white figure slowly walking in.Gao Jianfei looked at him angrily, but Zhuo Donglai hung his head indifferently.

Sima Chaoqun walked towards him, "Since you told me that you are sending a family letter to Die Wu, then it is better to let her appear. Since there is no daughter at all, why not write her name on it, anyway, you will see Xiao Lei in the end. Blood."

"Then President Wu..." Gao Jianfei asked,

"Compared to him, Wu Mo naturally believes in me more, and everything is under my arrangement. He told me about the 'daughter' a long time ago, and I asked him to change his plan and go back to the Luoyang branch to pick someone up here. How could you refuse?"

"Even the bloody lady is willing to use it for you." Zhuo Donglai's voice was weak, and he spoke more and more slowly, "Then can you tell you why you did this?"

"Not every time, the Wushen Bodyguard Bureau and I will be puppets at your mercy." Sima Chaoqun said word by word.

"Just because of this?" Zhuo Donglai asked, and before he heard the answer, he couldn't support himself and collapsed.Just now Xiao Leixue's shot was so close, even though he didn't have the ability to use the mysterious weapon, it still hurt his heart when he was defenseless.

"You..." Sima Chaoqun was at a loss for this unexpected situation, he supported Zhuo Donglai's back with one hand, looked at his pale face,

"You're going to get hurt too..."

Gao Jianfei stood up from him, and in his hand was a simple and simple sword with apricot-yellow spikes. The tip of the sword pointed directly at Xiao Leixue. The young man's face became gloomy.

"You will pay for hurting my friend."

At this moment, Xiao Leixue's whole body was paler than when he just came in, and he looked at the sword in Gao Jianfei's hand as if lost his soul.The face of the sword was blue, the light flickered, and there was a tear-stained shape near the sword rest.

"Tear-stained sword." He murmured.

"I don't know if your box is stronger, or my tear-stained sword is better."

Zhuo Donglai really wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of hot blood.He looked at Sima Chaoqun's profile, and now he understood everything.It turns out that this is your ultimate goal.

It's ridiculous that even though it's a different process, they got the same result.

You thought that Gao Jianfei would kill Xiao Leixue for Die Wu, but you didn't expect him to kill Xiao Leixue for me.

Of course he understands more than that, Zhuo Donglai has completely figured out Sima Chaoqun's strange behavior, vague hints, and deja vu words since the first meeting in Prince Dai's Mansion last time.

"Your arrangement this time was just to lure this shadow killer, 'Catching the Wind and Shadow', this time you finally caught him." Sima Chaoqun hugged him and said,

I also know why you want to kill him, and I also know that there is only one person who can kill him, and these Sima Chaoqun will not say it.

Xiao Leixue just stood there, motionless, letting Gao Jianfei send the sword into his heart.

"Xiao Leixue!"

Sima Chaoqun looked at Zhuo Donglai, not understanding why he burst into tears suddenly, why he called that person's name in such a painful tone, because in his memory, Xiao Leixue was Gao Jianfei's father.It is Zhuo Donglai's biggest and the only enemy he fears.This time, he just borrowed a knife to kill him to get rid of this sworn enemy.

But he didn't know that this sworn enemy was Zhuo Donglai's half-brother.

Zhuo Donglai closed his eyes, not looking at the man who was wiping away the tears on his face.There was only one thought in his mind, and that thought was fleeting like lightning, but he knew it would haunt him like a ghost for the rest of his life.Sima Chaoqun guessed all the things that Sima Chaoqun didn't say for fear of revealing the secret of his rebirth.

When he woke up from death, Zhuo Donglai returned to 11 years ago.On that day, he first took Die Wu away and hid it, then set fire to his adoptive father's house.When he fled to the dilapidated temple covered with haystacks, he hesitated, and he made a decision.

He didn't go into that temple.

He did a completely different job from that of a bodyguard, and he even stayed away from these places. If it weren't for the prince's request that he couldn't refuse, he would never have set foot in Chang'an City for the rest of his life.He tried his best to use the official's eyeliner to find out the whereabouts of Xiao Leixue. Tonight, he could have solved the mystery of his life experience and knew each other by blood.

Last night in the pavilion, after seeing off the visitor and the fatal note, he saw Sima Chaoqun hiding from the rain, and mistook this coincidence as a positive hint that fate gave him a chance to start again, so he To this new friend he thought, he told some secrets that he had never confessed in his previous life.
