Natural enemies

The scene of the explosion has been quarantined. When Tang Ji's car arrived, the police and members of the Witcher Union had already arrived.

Cohen was the first to arrive, and his face was extremely ugly. I don't know if it was because he had some conflicts with the people over there when Andre was handed over, or because he felt embarrassed that the escort he had arranged had an accident so soon.

Seeing Tang Ji, Ke En's face became even more ugly: "I thought you should be on Thorn Owl's side now."

"The vice president has lost all my people, how can I come and take a look?" Tang Ji was also angry.

Cohen was pushed into a lung tube by him, and said with restraint: "There are only the bodies of Muller and Weber in the car."

Tang Ji could hear the meaning behind his words, but he just couldn't hear it: "Who killed them? Was Gu Yi kidnapped?"

Cohen choked again, and simply fell silent.His assistant picked it up with a wink: "Mueller's arteries were cut open by a sharp weapon, and Weibo's wrists were twisted—the protective railing in the car was broken from the middle..."

"Oh, so you think that Gu Yi killed Mu Le first, and then Wei Bo?" Tang Ji asked, "Why did he come back with us when he wanted to abscond? Don't tell me that he came back to join Louis or something. It's all about it." No way. At present, the only thing he is suspicious of is the Hein Squad incident, but if he is afraid of this, it would be more appropriate to hide in China. There are 13 billion people there, and if he wants to hide, I am afraid no one will be able to find it.”

Cohen was silent.

As a demon hunter, of course he first had to suspect Gu Yi, but what Tang Ji said was very reasonable, and Gu Yi's motive for killing people and absconding really didn't make sense, unless——he had to escape reason.

"...I'm going to find out who put Mueller on duty today."

Tang Ji's eyes flickered, he didn't speak, but walked over to look at the corpse.

Both bodies were charred black.Wei Bo was in the front seat, half of his face was smashed into a hornet's nest by the shattered car window, and a hole was punched in the back of his head.Muller was in the back seat, closer to where the fire started, and was almost completely charred and unrecognizable.

The forensic doctor is examining the body and concluded that Mueller was killed by slit throat and died before the fire; Webb died half of his life from a bruise on the back of the head, was choked by smoke, and died in the car .

And the vehicle inspection has also begun to show clues: the fuel tank was hit by a bullet and caught fire, and the police have found the bullet.

The bullet in the evidence bag was somewhat deformed due to the high temperature, but the color and remaining patterns were enough to prove that it was a special bullet.Of course, this special refers to the special purpose, but it is not special within the Demon Hunters Guild, because it is a mass-produced standard weapon, which is the kind used by ordinary demon hunters.

"Weibo has such bullets." Cohen's assistant whispered, "He bought them from the union just in case..." Mithril bullets are expensive, and even mass-produced ones are not cheap.With Wei Bo's financial resources, he can probably buy a few of them, and he won't use them casually, only in the most dangerous time.

"Heh—" Tang Ji smiled, "It sounds very similar."

He pointed at Mueller's body. The only shiny thing on the scorched body was the steel sleeve on the elbow, and the right elbow was a little deformed: "Mueller is an extremist, and he intended to beat the suspect in the car, so The suspect fought back, killing him first, then Webb, and finally blowing up the gas tank with Webb's gun to make it look like he was under attack. Right?"

Cohen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I just analyzed the most likely situation. Don, I know you have a lot of opinions. I also admit that we may not handle some things properly, but we must follow the rules. , otherwise, there will be more mistakes due to disobeying the rules than the mistakes due to discipline!"

Tang Ji stared at him for a few seconds, then withdrew his aggressive sharpness: "Gu Yi won't kill them unless they want to kill him."

Cohen frowned.It's no different than saying nothing.Mu Le probably wanted to kill Gu Yi, so Gu Yi killed the two of them, which is very reasonable.

Tang Ji squatted down and carefully looked at the two corpses for a while, then suddenly asked: "Apart from the throat, is there any other injuries on Mu Le's body?"

He stood up and glanced to the side: "I mean, the car was blown up like that, Muller's body, is there something wrong?"

Tang Ji spoke in a low voice, but Ke En frowned: "You mean—"

Tang Ji did not answer this question, but raised another topic: "Kant will not be the only one. Even if he can use Mr. Schiller's name, he can't do so many things alone."

He slowly turned his head to look at Ke En: "And judging from today's events, you are very suspicious, Vice President."

Cohen's face changed slightly, but he didn't deny it: "In fact, from the pharmaceutical factory, we have already targeted several demon hunters, but what they did was nothing more than illegally reselling the hunted alien species... "

"If that's all it is, why does Kant need to take hostages?" Tang Ji asked back, "Reselling alien species is at most an economic problem, but taking hostages is likely to be shot dead on the spot. The few demon hunters you have already found , Did they all react so strongly?"

Cohen's eyes flickered, and it took him a long time before he said, "Why are you telling me this?"

Tang Ji still asked him back: "What do you think?"

Cohen was silent for a long time, but still said: "If I remember correctly, you have always looked at me with dislike."

"Where can it be?" Tang Ji started talking nonsense without blinking his eyes, "I have always respected the vice president very much. I remember your achievements several times, 12 years ago..."

Cohen obviously couldn't stand his style, so he quickly waved his hand: "That's all right, all right, needless to say."

Tang Ji put away a little smile in his eyes: "I have many opinions on the vice president. For example, acting rigidly; Don’t open your mouth; for another example, although you are in an immigrant country, you are actually quite dissatisfied with the Thorn Owl family’s absorption of a Chinese, right?”

When he said a word, Ke En's expression changed, his brows raised, and he wanted to deny it several times, but in the end he remained silent until Tang Ji finished speaking.

"However——" Tang Ji ignored Ke En's bluish-red face, and continued, "You have chosen to be silent many times, but you have also spoken many times. Although if you don't speak, what you can hold in your hands now is There will be more power in the possession..."

Ke En understood what he meant in an instant, and his face became a little unnatural: "I..."

Tang Ji waved his hand: "I just want to ask, do you think that research institute in Asia should exist? Even if they only use Chinese people for experiments?"

"Of course not!" Cohen replied somewhat fiercely, "No matter who is used to test, it will never be allowed!"

"Then do you think the pharmaceutical factory here is just to manufacture medicine?"

The expression on Cohen's face changed a little, and he finally answered in a low voice: "No."

It seemed that this was the beginning, and his subsequent words became smoother: "In fact, the labor union is also investigating. Although the pharmaceutical factory is behind...but this kind of research is absolutely not allowed!" He paused, He continued, "I've been investigating, and I've identified several groups so far, and judging from their capital flow, the pharmaceutical factory is only a part of them. But, my people—the technology is not enough."

Tang Ji and Ke En looked at each other.Although the entire Tang family confirmed that Ke En was trustworthy after careful analysis, he was still a little surprised——Ke En said that the technology was not enough, referring to the use of informal means to obtain the fund flow information of those consortiums—— He really didn't expect that such a well-behaved person like Cohen would use such a method.

"I know you guys think..." Cohen was a little embarrassed, "but you should understand that if you use a formal method, it's impossible... and before we find the clues, all traces will be eliminated, just like the old U9 Same."

Tang Ji suddenly smiled: "So after finishing this matter, you can be promoted? I heard that the president's health is not very good, and he will retire in a few years?"

This sentence suddenly raised his voice, not too high, but a few people who were close could hear it.

Cohen's face twitched, and he said "you" briefly, and his face darkened: "What do you mean? I just follow the rules. Besides, all the evidence now points to the unknown person, you can't deny this !"

The two looked at each other coldly for a few more seconds before Cohen calmed down: "I will consider everything you said, and the union will not immediately issue a warrant. I also hope to find him and clarify the matter."

Tang Ji seemed to be a little unwilling: "I hope the vice president will do what he says." After finishing speaking, he still stood still, and Ke En stood beside him with some displeasure, and the two seemed to be getting closer. Excited.

"Okay, let's go to work." As the vice president, Cohen was accused by the young witcher. His assistant also felt uncomfortable and urged the people next to him in a low voice.

"Look at Muller's posture." Tang Ji didn't even look at Cohen, and whispered, "Wei Bo was thrown out and hit the back of his head because of the explosion in the front seat, and Mueller was obviously in the back seat, so he was hit hard It should be bigger."

Cohen also didn't look at him: "Actually, I felt something was wrong just now. He looked like he was curled up, not sitting on a chair..."

After death, the body will become stiff due to cooling. If Muller died in the car, he should naturally maintain a sitting posture.But the way he was placed on the ground now was not quite right.If you ask Cohen, he seems to have curled up in a ball and then pulled away.

Of course, not all demon hunters have such insight, after all, they are studying demon hunting, not forensics.But Cohen, before he became a witcher, he was a student of medical university, even if he changed his career, he did not give up his major.

"What if someone killed Mu Le outside the car, and then stuffed him back into the burning car?" Tang Ji's lips twitched slightly, "What if it wasn't Mu Le who wanted to kill Gu Yi, but Weber?" He asked I remembered Andy anxiously swearing.Muller is an extremist, but after the last incident, maybe he was afraid of the punishment of the union, or maybe he regretted killing a person who had no fault, and he has some changes.It's a pity that because of his reputation in the past, he was still arranged to pretend to be the trigger of the incident.

After saying these few words, Tang Ji raised his head, turned around and left, with a contemptuous look on his face, and cursed in Chinese: "Shrinking head!"

He strode across the cordon back to his car, and was not angry with the driver's respectful question: "What else are you going to do! Find someone first! It's impossible to abscond with murder! He must have been arrested now." , or I'm running for my life, I have to find him first! I don't have time to listen to those people talking. Anyway, it's nothing more than that, let my second uncle deal with them!"

He stooped into the car and slammed the door shut.On the contrary, the driver, with an unfazed expression on his face, started the car and left the scene.

As the vehicle was driving, the mobile phone in Tang Ji's pocket beeped. He took it out to take a look, opened a new email, browsed through it at a glance, and replied to one before putting it away.

Andy sat in the car all the time, watching him do all this in silence, and then whispered for a long time: "You've never been really angry with me."

The driver drove the car calmly, and casually raised the sound insulation panel between the front and rear seats, obviously guessing that the words below were inappropriate for him to hear.

Sure enough, Andy continued: "Even if I crawled on your bed that time, you ran to Europe under the pretext of carrying out a mission, and you still treated me very well after you came back." He paused, and added, "Although I can feel , You’ve been hiding from me since then.”

He didn't seem to need any reaction from Tang Ji, so he continued to talk: "Later you went to Asia with Sang Lin, I thought, you don't like men, I can't help it, if you like Sang Lin, then I will admit it Yes. But I didn't expect that it's not that you don't like men, it's just that you don't like me."

"You're wrong." Tang Ji had to answer, "I don't like men, I just like him."

"But why exactly?" Andy asked stubbornly. "How long have you known him?"

"It has nothing to do with how long we've known each other." Tang Ji sighed deeply, and rubbed the center of his brows with a headache, "Andy, I have a lot of things to do now! You are a witcher, you know what you should do. Yes, don't ask me why, in fact, you know very well that there are some things that don't have 'why' at all."

Andy stopped talking.After a while, he suddenly slapped the soundproof board again: "Stop!"

Originally, after the sound insulation panel was raised, there was a communicator at hand to contact the driver in the front row.But Andy was useless. Instead, he slapped the sound insulation panel heavily until the driver put down the sound insulation panel and quickly pulled the car to the side of the road. Then he pulled the door and left without saying a word.

Tang Ji sighed at his back through the car window: "It's still so willful."

"Master Brown has always been more impulsive." The driver answered calmly, "It would be nice to be a little older. When you were his age, Master, you were even more impulsive than him."

Tang Ji rolled his eyes: "Uncle Zong, don't you always feel uncomfortable if you don't expose me?"

The driver laughed: "What did you see just now?"

"What else can it be?" Tang Ji sneered, "Sure enough, Gu Yi had already guessed that someone was going to attack him, but I really didn't expect it to be so fast, and even used Andy. Strange, what is this What's the rush? In fact, if you do this, there will be more loopholes. The best chance is actually after the hearing. If the hearing judges that Gu Yi killed the Hein team, he will naturally be executed; if he is found not guilty, When the time comes to attack him, it will be easier to blame Louis."

Uncle Zong smiled again: "You sound like you have a lot of trust in that unknown Mr. Gu."

"Of course." Tang Ji threw himself on the back of the chair in front, almost resting his head on Uncle Zong's shoulder, "Uncle Zong, what does Second Uncle mean?"

"What does the second master mean? Will there be any changes to your plan?" Uncle Zong's face became serious, "Young master, you should know what the second master means. We Chinese pay attention to three aspects of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest."

"Ah, Uncle Zong, I have a headache..." Tang Ji immediately covered his face, looking half-dead, "Our Tang family has queens, and I have several younger brothers."

Uncle Zong sighed: "Young master, don't change the subject. The eldest master only has you as a son. If you don't get married, what will the second master think? He will feel sorry for his elder brother."

"I want to get married!" Tang Ji immediately replied, "Hasn't the law been passed now? I can marry Gu Yi and adopt a child. I have so many younger brothers, wouldn't they all be willing to let me adopt a child?" kid?"

"Master!" Uncle Zong raised his voice slightly, "Mr. Gu is a vampire, you know that. The lifespan of a vampire—"

Tang Ji happily interrupted him: "That is to say, if Gu Yi is not a blood clan, second uncle agrees?"

"This—" Uncle Zong choked, "I didn't—"

"Ah, I see." Tang Ji interrupted him again, "Second uncle just won't let me marry a heterogeneous species, right? OK, then I can guarantee that the person I will marry in the future must be a human being. I swear to the Bodhisattva!"

Uncle Zong didn't know what to say: "Master, you are like this..." What is this?

"Thank you, Uncle Zong." Tang Ji still had a cheerful expression on his face, "Don't worry, I've sworn to do it. Ouch, then Second Uncle doesn't have to worry!"

This, this self-talk has settled the matter?But the second master didn't mean that at all!

Uncle Zong opened his mouth and closed it again.He has been in the Tang family for 40 years and watched Tang Ji grow up, so he knows his temper very well.Tang Ji used to be straight and straight - when he first entered the witcher training camp, he once beat up a person who made a fuss about him until his own mother couldn't recognize him, and almost made that person useless. Lose.

Such a straightforward person, who has only been in Asia for a few months, is about to marry a man!No, no, that's not a human, but a male vampire!Uncle Zong wanted to break his head, but he couldn't figure out what ecstasy soup that unknown person had poured into Tang Ji.By the way, doesn't he have the blood of a succubus?

However, since Tang Ji has taken such an attitude, I am afraid that no matter what the second master says, it will be difficult to change the facts in the end.Uncle Zong also knows the current head of the Tang family very well. Although he usually looks decisive, he is actually the one who disarms and surrenders to his nephews and nephews in the end, especially Tang Ji. victories.

etc!Uncle Zong suddenly thought of what Tang Ji said just now: "Master, you said you would marry a human?" But isn't that nameless person a vampire?Could it be possible to become a human?

"Uncle Zong—" Tang Ji ignored the topic, leaned on the back of the chair and winked at him, "Help me find a way to slip away without showing any trace."

"Young Master—" Before Uncle Zong finished speaking, Tang Ji continued to say, "Tell Second Uncle again, let him help me find out, go to Russia to find out who that Morozov man is Sent there?"

"Is there any problem?" Uncle Zong was attracted by his words.

"Yeah." Tang Ji smiled, "A friend of mine went to check, and there was no corpse of the seventh generation of Ravono in the herbarium, but there was a specimen, which was very suitable for a vampire named Carl Simmore. features. Oh, now I have to say 'it used to be', because this specimen has been destroyed, and even the process of destruction has been erased. Fortunately, my friend is a bit talented in data recovery, and found a Bits of clues."

He said it very easily, but Uncle Zong already knew everything about it, so he naturally understood what he meant: "What are you going to do now? That Morozov, do you want to move?"

"I don't need it now." Tang Ji thought for a while, "Since someone is willing to cover up for him, he must be needed. And since he needs to cover up, he just doesn't want to part with his current identity. With identity, he can't run away. Besides, he cannot leave the country within three months, there is no rush. The important thing is who did he make a deal with."

"Understood." Uncle Zong agreed happily, "However, where are you going to slip now?"

"Ouch——Uncle Zong, why did you ask the question knowingly?" Tang Ji smiled and lifted the backpack in the car, looking like he was going to play tricks.

Uncle Zong's straight mouth could not help but bend a little: "What's the hurry, didn't you expect such a thing to happen?"

Tang Ji's expression was complete: "You can't say that. I didn't expect that the car's protection ability is quite strong. He may be injured now."

Uncle Zong sighed: "So you asked me to put two bags of blood plasma in the refrigerator in advance, so it's just to prevent this?"

"Hmmmm——" Tang Ji's heart was already flying, "Then what, Uncle Zong, I really have to go and have a look. The shot on the fuel tank should be shot by the fourth person. It's not difficult to deal with Wei Bo, but who can kill Wei Bo?" Know how many people are ambushing..."

Uncle Zong shook his head helplessly: "There is one more thing. The second master has already checked the news that there is a third holy artifact in the hands of the unknown person. In fact, it is just that some people suspect that his umbrella is not extraordinary, so guess He may still have something unknown, so I want to deceive him."

"I see." Tang Ji rubbed his chin, "That's great."

Uncle Zong glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "But that umbrella must be handed in. Even the second master can't find a copy of the umbrella made of hellwood."

"Don't worry." Tang Ji swung his backpack back, "The umbrella will be handed in, no problem."
