I smiled and said, "Did I hear you right? You know the situation in this ancient tomb very well. If you go in again, you will have a narrow escape from death. Are you so short of money?"
Xu Miaofeng smiled and said: "I don't do it for money."
"Then for what?" I was confused.
"For..." Xu Miaofeng's eyes dodge for a moment. At that moment, there seemed to be a strong force holding her back, but she quickly controlled the force, "For survival."
"Survival?" I wondered, "What do you mean?"
Xu Miaofeng shook his head and said with a smile: "I can't tell you now, but you will know soon."
I was even more puzzled and asked, "What are you hiding from me?"
"Don't ask, I'm afraid if I tell you now, I won't have the chance to meet you in the future." Xu Miaofeng said calmly, "It's not that I don't believe you, but because I'm not used to leaving my destiny in the hands of others."
I shook my head in confusion. The connotation of these sentences was too complicated, and I was a little confused for a while. "No, you must be busy. What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I will do what you want, and after a while, I will be at ease." Xu Miaofeng said with a smile, "I just want to remind you, if you are still planning to go to the undersea tomb, you must be mentally prepared from now on. Get ready, the real trouble has just begun!”
At this time, it was already noon, and the scorching sun was in the sky.
We walked for more than ten minutes and finally arrived near Huluzui.
I was looking for signs of Ma Wei and the others when suddenly a figure appeared from behind and shouted: "Stop, raise your hands!"
Damn it, isn’t this Ma Wei? He said Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived. I quickly introduced myself, "It's me, Li Rui!"
"Li Rui?" Ma Wei saw it was me and said excitedly: "Great, you are back!"
"Who is this woman?" Ma Wei asked warily.
At this time, several other militiamen came out from a nearby ambush and surrounded Xu Miaofeng and me. I quickly explained: "This woman is an accomplice of the snake catchers, and we all fell into their trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. In fact, their real landing point was not Cape Storm, but somewhere else. There were not twenty people ashore here." , she is the only one, and she came here deliberately to attract us to follow her."
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?" Ma Wei suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh, so that's it. Just now, we found another ship on the other side, but we didn't have enough manpower. When we rushed over, they had already escaped."
"Hey, we were careless. Now is not the time to talk. Take people back quickly." I said.
"Well, let's go back and report quickly."
In this way, we escorted Xu Miaofeng all the way back to the base headquarters.
When the headquarters learned about my safe return, they were extremely excited. Everyone in the headquarters was very happy and for a while they regarded me as a hero returning home in triumph.
Wang Mengyao heard the news of my return and hurried out to greet me. As soon as I walked into the subway gate of the base, I saw her running towards me.
"Li Rui!" Wang Mengyao didn't care about other people's opinions at this time. She hugged me desperately, her eyes were red, and she slapped me hard, "You bastard, you're worried about me!"
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. It's my fault. Look, I'm back in good condition." I smiled.
Although it was not the first time that I was hugged by a woman, this scene and this feeling was the first time. The feeling of being cared for, cared about, and loved was really magical.
My heart was filled with honey, and I actually wanted to indulge in this kind of care.
"Do you know how worried I am about you? My heart is almost beating out of my chest." Wang Mengyao complained, but the more she said this, the tighter her hug became.
I smiled and comforted: "I apologize, I reflect, I shouldn't have acted without permission and made you worry about me."
At this time, the horses and horses nearby were so happy to watch, they were all whispering to each other as if they were watching the fun. Those pairs of eyes were wider than Zhang Fei's, and they were more excited than watching a TV series.
Only then did Wang Mengyao realize that there were still people watching. She quickly pushed me away, wiped away her tears, and said, "You, what are you looking at? Team Wang is still waiting for you, so hurry up and get in!"
Ma Weima smiled fiercely and gave me another look, which seemed to tell me that I must seize the opportunity, and then escorted Xu Miaofeng towards the inside.
When Xu Miaofeng passed by me, she turned her head and glanced at me without saying a word, but from that look, I read a hint of complicated and unspeakable emotions.
"Who is she?" Wang Mengyao looked at Xu Miaofeng's back and asked after a long time: "Where did you find her?"
"The accomplices of the snake catchers," I replied, "However, she always insisted that she was forced. The group forced her to walk into the Cape of Storms alone, otherwise, they would kill her family. She ventured in out of necessity."
Wang Mengyao shook her head doubtfully, "I don't think so. This woman has such a cold temperament. She doesn't look like an ordinary person, but more like a professional killer."
I couldn't help but wonder, is a woman's sixth sense really that magical? He smiled awkwardly and said, "When will you be able to read faces again? Can you tell this?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm overthinking it."
"Let's go, stop thinking nonsense, Captain Wang will naturally come to a conclusion."
"Yeah." Wang Mengyao nodded and walked into the headquarters with me.
Xu Miaofeng was held alone in an interrogation room. Because the island was often visited by snake catchers, there were several such rooms, equipped with iron windows, iron doors, handcuffs and shackles.
I glanced inside through the iron gate fence. Xu Miaofeng was locked in a chair. She couldn't move her hands or feet. Her cold face was expressionless, and she just sat motionless.
I know that any interrogation techniques are useless to her. She doesn't want to speak, and even the most cruel punishment cannot pry her away.
But why is she sitting here so cooperatively at this moment? Is it just to make a deal with me?
This may be part of the reason, but there must be other factors.
There were no lights on in the interrogation room, and there was only a beam of light shining in from the high window. This scene looked inexplicably desolate, and it made me feel unbearable again.
At this time, Lao Wang and Director Huang came over, and Lao Wang said: "Li Rui, where did you catch this person?"
I replied: "The middle of Storm Point."
"The middle ground? The eye of the storm?" Director Huang asked.
"I don't know about that, it's just a basin."
"That's right." Director Huang said, "I didn't expect that she could go so far into it alone."
"This woman is not simple." Lao Wang said.
"What's not simple?" I tried to ask.
Lao Wang didn't say it directly, he just said: "I have met a lot of people, but this is the first time I have seen such a cold and cold woman. Look at her eyes, they are like dry wells, without any ripples, so Could it be that the person came to Snake Island because of coercion?"
"Uh..." I didn't know how to respond for a moment. Yes, I just logically thought of a way to hide the person, but ignored the person himself.
For a moment, I was a little unsure whether I could keep this matter a secret.
"Okay, you can avoid it for a moment, and we'll interrogate her before we talk." Lao Wang said.
Helpless, I had to retreat first.
As the iron door closed, my heart also hung.
I was smoking in the corridor and looked at the iron door from time to time. After a long time, the ground was covered with cigarette butts, but the door still didn't move.
"Li Rui, why are you here!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.
I was startled and quickly put out the cigarette butt. When I looked back, it was Wang Mengyao.
"What are you doing here? I've been looking for you for a long time."
"Oh, I, I'm addicted to cigarettes. I secretly smoke a few cigarettes secretly." I tried my best to hide something.
Wang Mengyao looked at the cigarette butts on the ground and rolled her eyes at me, "Smoking is bad for your health. Just smoke a few cigarettes. Come with me quickly. I'll see you if I have anything to do."
"Ah? Are you looking for me?" I asked doubtfully, "What happened?"
"Why are you so nervous? People from the police station are looking for you to make a record." Wang Mengyao said while pulling me.
Only then did I realize that the gang sent by Shouhou had been caught by the police, and they followed the clues and came to the door.
"Skinny Monkey, Slim Monkey, I hope you have a soul in heaven to help me, but don't let your secrets be revealed." I said anxiously.
Wang Mengyao and I came to a conference room, where two plainclothes policemen were sitting. They were dusty and it seemed that they had arrived non-stop.
"Officer Wang, this is Li Rui. Thanks to him this time, we caught the suspect." Wang Mengyao introduced with a smile.
Officer Wang looked me over, took the initiative to shake my hand, and said with a smile: "You are Li Rui. Xiao Wang has told us everything about you. It can be said to be a heroic feat. We are here today. First, we represent The organization would like to express its gratitude to you, and secondly, I would also like to ask you to learn more about the situation."
Seeing his kind face, I felt a little relieved and asked: "Officer Wang, if there is any problem, as long as I know it, I will tell you everything."
Officer Wang smiled and said: "It's nothing serious, don't be nervous."
At this time, his colleague said: "It's like this. This morning, after we received your news about the escape of poachers on the island, we immediately organized the police to arrest them. God knows, these guys were arrested We had a good time and no one ran away. After a surprise interrogation, they confessed that the purpose of secretly landing on the island this time was to catch snakes. In order to divert your attention, they adopted the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and sent an accomplice into the Cape of Storms. , attracting you to arrest them, while they landed from another place.”
After hearing this, my hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and I thought to myself: "Shouhou, you did not die unjustly and did a good deed. When your death anniversary comes, I will definitely burn paper for you!"
