Jiang Cheng had probably guessed what they found in the car that Chen Xiaomeng and others drove in. They probably had hemp rope, a carpet just big enough to wrap one or two people, and disinfectant and other items.
They who have received comprehensive criminal investigation courses understand what these things mean better than themselves.
But it seemed that no dangerous goods such as guns were found, otherwise the posture would definitely be more than what it was now. Jiang Cheng squinted his eyes slightly, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
After leaving the police station, it was almost dark. He broke into the house at 5:55, and then heard the phone ringing on time at 6:00.
Four sounds.
no more, no less.
"Huh--" He breathed out. It seemed that Pi Ruan was safe for the time being. Sure enough, after hearing the name Hao Shuai, those people gave up on him and pointed the finger at him.
After he received a call from Pi Ruan saying that Chen Xiaomeng had been found, he immediately realized that there was a trap.
Because... it was too fast and too smooth.
If Chen Xiaomeng could really be found so easily by Pi Ruan's men, she would have died long ago with no ashes left.
According to Jiang Cheng's understanding, once the nightmare mission is started, it will never end.
The ending here has two meanings. One is that tasks will keep coming to you, and the other is that the confrontation in the nightmare will also continue into the real world.
After all, rewards are real things.
Whether in a nightmare or in reality, as long as you kill the reward owner, you can get the good things from him.
Clues, newspapers, or even life-saving white paper.
Just like playing a game, killing your opponent may reveal his equipment.
And these things do not require fingerprint or iris authentication to be used, it is completely first come, first served.
Compared with the various uncertainties in nightmares, it is much easier in reality. Similar to Chen Xiaomeng, Jiang Cheng thought of a very appropriate word -
fishing.
The fight in the nightmare will continue into reality, but when you find your teammates from the previous mission, you have actually taken the bait, and then the latter will follow the clues and take you, and even the forces behind you, in one fell swoop.
Unlike the solo fights or small group confrontations in nightmare missions, there is no limit to the number of people in the real world. For example, today, if he had not seen through his opponent’s tricks in advance and chosen to edit the text message to call the police in advance, he would be in trouble by now. .
Most likely it will be wrapped in a blanket in the trunk, sprinkled with disinfectant, and shipped back to be displayed as a stupid trophy.
Chen Xiaomeng can definitely do such a thing.
And the middle-aged man next to her is not a simple guy. In a one-on-one situation, Jiang Cheng is not sure about winning him.
After this incident, Jiang Cheng's understanding of nightmares reached a new level, and part of his previous visions had become a reality.
Looking at the proficiency of some teammates, it is obvious that they have been in nightmares for some time, especially Chenran, whose understanding of nightmares has reached a rather terrifying level.
It is difficult for him to do this alone.
There should be a force behind him pushing him, training him, and even... perfecting him.
The appearance of Chen Xiaomeng today also confirmed this.
There is indeed a phenomenon of players in missions hugging each other to keep each other warm in the real world, and as time goes by, this phenomenon will become more and more obvious, and these people... are becoming more and more professional.
It's like the transition from a novice player to an experienced player.
All of this is not only due to their own experience, I am afraid it is also inseparable from the help given by the "gang" organization behind them. The organization here is not just a simple form in the written sense.
Jiang Cheng's face gradually darkened. The water here... is probably very deep.
At 6:04, Jiang Cheng picked up the phone on time and called back. It almost only rang once before the call was connected. However, the person on the other side seemed to be very cautious. Jiang Cheng could only hear weak but rapid breathing, but there was no sound. The sound of speaking.
"It's me," Jiang Cheng breathed.
It is undoubtedly Pi Ruan who is so cowardly.
"Oh, you scared me to death!" Pi Ruan's crying voice sounded, "Dr. Jiang, you don't know, I live in a shabby hotel that doesn't even have a private bathroom, and I have to go to a public restroom. I really can't help it. It can only be in a mineral water bottle..."
Jiang Cheng interrupted his nagging like a woman, "It's okay, you can go back."
"Where are you going back to?" Pi Ruan Lai's chirping voice paused.
"Go back where you came from."
"oh."
"Also," before putting down the phone, Jiang Cheng warned again: "Don't contact your friend again. If he comes to see you, just give him some money and send him away."
Pi Ruan on the other end of the phone blinked and said doubtfully: "Dr. Jiang, did he offend you in some way?" He swallowed and continued: "Actually, that man is very good, but he doesn't know how to speak. He is a human being. He doesn't speak much harshly and does things cleanly and neatly. The most important thing is that he has a very tight mouth!" he emphasized.
"Dr. Jiang, you know me," Pi Ruan said sheepishly, "otherwise I wouldn't be able to use him to help you find someone."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the messy office and the overturned chairs, and took a deep breath, "If you have another chance to see him in the future, remember to call me."
Pi Ruan, who was sitting on a broken bed, suddenly sat up straight, nodded and said, "Doctor Jiang, is there anything else you need him to do?"
"No," Jiang Cheng said, "I just went to test how tight it is."
The conversation ended in a slightly awkward atmosphere. Jiang Cheng sat for another two minutes and suddenly shouted to the stairs: "It's okay, come out."
After a moment, a big head stuck out from the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. "Doctor," the fat man said excitedly, "Are you okay?"
"Here you go," Jiang Cheng took a sip of the water that the policewoman poured for him before he could drink it, "I'm fine."
The fat man who jumped down the stairs "kick, kick, kick" was wearing a shirt, but several buttons on the chest were broken, and only the threads were leaking out. It must have been caused by someone grabbing the clothes when he was running away and trying to break free.
"How are you?"
The fat man with scratches on his arms felt a big stone in his heart when he saw the doctor coming back. He rubbed his arms and said with a smile, "I'm fine. Doctor, just come back."
"Actually, I was on that building over there," he pointed in a direction. "I saw there were a lot of them, so I robbed... No, I borrowed a woman's cell phone and called the police. Thinking about how efficient the police are now, they arrived as soon as I hung up the phone."
"Then it looks like I have a lot to thank you for this time."
The fat man scratched his head and smiled honestly, "You're welcome doctor, as long as you're not dead."
