Liu Wu and others were able to come out alive, which was a bit beyond my expectation.
Maybe this is the attitude shown to me by that senior brother?
However, I didn't bother to taste the deeper meaning, because Xing Feng said the second thing next.
Wang Yixia and his group had an accident on their way back. Except for Wang Yixia, the other three were all killed. Before their death, their eyes and eardrums were stabbed, and their bones were crushed.
After his death, he was nailed to a tree and hung high.
As for the bodies of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhang, they were sitting back to back under the tree, with extremely weird smiles on their faces.
When talking about this matter, Xing Feng's voice was extremely calm, and there was not even a hint of ripples in his voice, but I knew that the more this happened, the more it showed that the criminal team member was about to explode with anger.
Coupled with Chang Sixi and Wang Jinbo, in just a few days, five people were lost in the ninth game!
As for the missing Wang Yixia, it is estimated that his fate will be even worse, maybe he will be taken back by the other party and tortured slowly.
If the deaths of Chang and Wang were accidental, but this time, the other party obviously came for the ninth game!
Overnight, there were so many evil and terrifying murder cases around Meicheng. This time, Uncle Zhou and his wife were used to brutally kill three people from the ninth bureau.
This is someone who wants to completely muddy the water!
What is the purpose?
After I finished the phone call with Xing Feng, I returned to the study on the second floor alone, locked myself in the room, sat quietly in the dark, and sorted out the whole thing again.
"One month..."
When Chen Wuliang was negotiating terms with me, he made a special agreement that I should not return to Meicheng within a month and stay far away.
Looking back now, his words are quite interesting.
In fact, according to common sense, there is no need for him to agree on a time of "one month". He can ask me never to come back to Meicheng, or not to come back within two or ten years.
But he said "one month".
Chen Wuliang is definitely a man of wealth. Since he mentioned such a time, it must be intentional.
There are two possibilities here.
The first one is that Chen Wuliang, in his capacity as senior brother, is reminding me that the major event that the Cao family is planning has reached its most critical moment, and this critical period is within this month.
As for the second type, Chen Wuliang was deliberately misleading me.
Both of these possibilities exist, and it is difficult to draw a conclusion. However, if you look at it in conjunction with the things that happened later, it is different.
Judging from all the current signs, this matter planned by the Cao family should have been going on for a long time, maybe even for several generations.
Before that, the other party had always been hiding in the dark, acting in an extremely low-key and secretive manner.
But now, he suddenly showed his ferocious fangs. Not only did he cause horrific murders everywhere, he even dared to kill people in the ninth round. It was so crazy!
This can only show that the other party is already a little anxious as the three major prisons of Ice Prison, Heart Cutting Prison and Tongue Pulling Prison have been broken one after another.
But the most critical thing is not this. It should be that the other party's plan has reached the final moment, so the other party does not hesitate to use such extreme means to buy time!
Maybe Chen Wuliang was reminding me of this on purpose?
In fact, I still haven't fully understood why, with my senior brother's ability, I am willing to guard Qinglong Mountain for the Cao family?
But another sentence he said also made me quite concerned.
He told me to "focus on his one-third of an acre of land, why not start elsewhere." This sentence sounded like a mockery at the time, or a sign of weakness to me.
But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that there is another meaning.
Or is this senior brother reminding me to stop staring at Qinglong Mountain and look at other places?
I took out the topographic map of Meicheng, on which I marked many places.
The old house of the Cao family guarded by Liu Hao corresponds to the Ice Prison, Shimen Village corresponds to the Heart-Severing Prison, and Laosong Reservoir corresponds to the Tongue-pulling Prison. From the five Taoist prisons, the remaining Hellfire Prison and Belly-expanding Prison remain.
The five hells correspond to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
At first I speculated that the remaining two prisons might be located in Qinglong Mountain and the Cao Family Mansion respectively, but now it seems that they are not the same.
In fact, in magic, there has always been a saying that the human body has a small world.
Although the human body is small, the heavenly stems, earthly branches, yin and yang and the five elements are all present, just like a shrunken heaven and earth.
With the waist as the dividing line, the upper body itself is yang, and the lower body is yin. The three yang qi enters through the fingers, and the three yin qi is introduced into the body through the toes.
The two qi of yin and yang alternate in the internal organs, so that there is yin in yang, yang in yin, and yin and yang complement each other.
So since there are five internal organs, there should also be yin and yang.
Perhaps Qinglong Mountain and the Cao Family Mansion are the yin and yang, and the five Taoist prisons surround these two as the five internal organs.
If this is the case, then the remaining two prisons should be in...
The current Cao family only puts the brothers Cao Renjie and Cao Junwu on the bright side, while everyone else hides in the dark, hiding so deeply that even the ninth game was blinded.
However, monks who can escape cannot escape the temple, and people can hide, but some things cannot be moved.
I circled several areas on the map with a red pen.
"Old Lin, open the door quickly!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door downstairs, and Shao Zilong roared from below.
I went downstairs and opened the door, and saw him standing outside the door supported by Haitang.
"What's going on?" I asked doubtfully.
"What else are you asking me about? Tietou's cars are coming in and out, and your door is opening and closing. What happened?" Shao Zilong yelled as he entered the room and sat down on the sofa.
"You have really good ears." I smiled.
"Brother, it's because he has no strength, it's because he's deaf!" Shao Zilong said angrily.
I told him what happened in the ninth inning.
After Shao Zilong heard this, he surprisingly did not yell, but sat there in silence, his face terrifyingly gloomy.
"What's wrong?" I have never seen him like this before.
"Old Lin, you just said that how many families were wiped out?" Shao Zilong asked in a hoarse voice.
"Six families." I said, and after thinking for a while, I added, "Including Uncle Zhou and his wife, that's seven families."
"Aren't the chickens and dogs left?" Shao Zilong asked.
"Yes." I nodded.
Shao Zilong suddenly laughed.
"Don't scare Haitang." I reminded.
"What's wrong, was I scary just now?" Shao Zilong calmed down and asked doubtfully.
Haitang's face turned pale and she nodded nervously.
"It's okay. I was just too angry just now. I laughed a little ferociously?" Shao Zilong asked while laughing.
"More than just ferocious, I think you want to eat people." I said.
