Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

Chapter 74 The Spoiled Child

"Forget it, let's leave Tong Jiu alone, let's talk about what the organization has gained."

"Oh, it's only the last step, and the result fell short." Speaking of this, Shang Yunkuang wanted to sigh, Tong Jiu and a tour group that appeared out of nowhere completely destroyed the trap they had set up in the main tomb.The organization took the opportunity to mix into the crowd, not to mention it, and caused them to have a misunderstanding with Tong Jiu, resulting in serious injuries.

They painstakingly set up lures and carefully arranged ambushes, but in the end they were all in vain, and they didn't even catch the hair of the organization.

But it is not all fruitless, Shang Yunkuang picked up the phone again: "I will sort out the information for you in the end about the clues about the organization. Young Master, there is one thing that must be reported to you here. I doubt it—the three of us There's a ghost inside."

"Huh? How to say."

"In this trip, people from the organization did mix into the team, and they passed my screening several times. During this time, I had close contact with a member of the organization."

After the Shang family withdrew from the tomb, a detailed count of the number of people involved was sent up one by one, and the tricks of organizing those identity replacements were quickly exposed.Naturally, after a little thought, Shang Yunkuang locked on the "Chen Qiu" in the team.

"——The people in the organization actually know the family secrets of the Chen family. I don't think it's accidental. Didn't the young master mention that the Changshengyan incident seven years ago may also have an inner ghost? Otherwise, how could the organization easily enter the heavily guarded place?" In the end, Shang Zhai escaped unscathed."

Not only that, but in the conversation with the ghost-faced man, he also heard a lot of contradictory and secret details.It's just that he still needs to think about these contents, and has not reported to Shang Feijie for the time being.

"Okay, I understand the general situation, and I will talk about the rest when you come back. But remember, the most important thing is the organization." Shang Feijie emphasized again, "You count all the people who have contacted the organization, let They come and report to me individually."

Hearing this, Shang Yunkuang subconsciously looked to the other side of the car.On the co-pilot's seat, the black hood was sitting cross-legged by the window, looking out of the window with a blank face, motionless as if he had lost his soul.

Shang Feijie didn't hear the answer for a long time, "Why, there is no one else?"

"Yes, yes, the child has fought the most with the people in the organization, and he is the only one."

"Then let him come to see me."

"I'm afraid, I can't find any results... It's like this, in the main tomb, he confronted Tong Jiu. Well, Tong Jiu also attacked him, which made him suffer a lot..."

After saying this, Shang Feijie immediately understood.

In order to ensure the mysterious lineage of different pupils, the Tong family has continued the ancient custom of intermarriage within the clan for nearly a hundred years, so people born in the same generation are more or less related.For example, Tong Mei and Tong Jiu are cousins, and there are only two of them left at their age.

Therefore, Tong Jiu is very indulgent to this cousin who is three years younger than himself.Tong Mei has a surly personality and a bad temper since he was a child. As he got older, he caused constant disasters, but his cousin Tong Jiu single-handedly took over and dealt with the aftermath.After Tong Jiu became the patriarch, this kind of cover-up became even more serious.

Many people on the road know that Tong Mei from the Tong family is a troublemaker who is extremely evil, and has done all sorts of despicable dirty things.It's just that because of Tong Jiu's face, everyone doesn't want to embarrass him on the surface, but they always look down on him in their hearts.To put it bluntly, but because of the small number of people in the Tong family, Tong Mei has this preferential treatment. If Tong Jiu had seven or eight brothers and sisters, who would care about Tong Mei's life and death.

Therefore, Shang Feijie shook his head and made a conclusion about the childishness that came out of such a growing environment: a spoiled child.

Now, this spoiled child is suddenly attacked by his elder brother who has been pampering him. It feels like falling from the clouds to the mud. The drop and blow can be imagined.

It's fine if it's someone else, but if it's this Tong Mei, Shang Feijie really doesn't hold much hope.

"Since that's the case, let's put the organization aside and give him some time to calm down. Don't worry about Uncle Yun. Come back and deal with the injury and follow-up work first, and I will contact you the day after tomorrow."

"Master is going on a business trip?"

"No," the other end of the phone paused for a while before Shang Feijie's low voice came: "I'm going to Babaoshan, tomorrow is... Yan Yu's death day."

Autumn wind, drizzle, accompanied by the footsteps of people in twos and threes, Shang Feijie stepped up the steps.

Because of the status of the Shang family in Beijing, the cemetery of the young master of the Shang family is naturally higher than that of ordinary people. It took Shang Feijie more than ten minutes to walk to the high-end cemetery with a wide terrain and a good view, and he quickly found it. Shang Yanyu's location.

The tombstone was clean, and someone had cleaned it in advance. Except for a layer of drizzle that just fell, the tombstone was clean without a speck of dust.

Shang Feijie knelt down on one knee, lit a bunch of incense with a lighter, and inserted it into the incense basin in front of the stele.Shang Yanyu left too early. In the eyes of the older generation, such a young man who died prematurely due to an accident is always somewhat unlucky.So in the past seven years, Shang Feijie has come here alone to visit every year. There are no entourages crowded in front and back, and there are no relatives who are crying for the ground. Even his father Shang Wei has never set foot here once.

After so many years, the only ones who have come to see Shang Yanyu are his elder brother, and perhaps Shang Yunkuang.

Shang Feijie sighed, picked up the rag beside him, walked to the monument, and wiped the photos on it carefully.In the photo, Shang Yanyu maintains a shy and childish smile. He is not very old, but he is full of cuteness and cuteness.

It's a pity that he was born in the Shang family. If it wasn't for the Shang family who strive for fame and fortune, such a sensible child would be the favorite treasure of the elders everywhere, and the jewel in the palm of the hand.

It's a pity that I was born in Shang's family.

The environment of the cemetery was very quiet, with the delicate sound of falling rain lingering in the empty space.Those who can be buried in this cemetery are either high-ranking officials or dignitaries, and today is not a special day, so few people come.

Shang Feijie was just sitting next to the thin drizzle, slowly burning a thick stack of yellow paper, the smog distorted the people in the photo a little bit, giving people an urge to cry.

Unknowingly, Shang Feijie thought about Tong Mei again.The so-called brothers, he and Shang Yanyu, Tong Jiu and Tong Mei, can be described as the extremes of two kinds of family affection.A pair was born in a wealthy family, and the relationship is unfamiliar, and a pair was born in a declining family, and they depended on each other.What his elder brother showed was not half as good as Tong Jiu's performance. The same elder brother status was very different.

But as a younger brother, Yan Yu is much more mature and sensible than Tong Mo, and Shang Feijie is half protecting his weaknesses and half giving an objective evaluation—that evil Tong Mo is definitely not worth half of Shang Yan Yu, if it is a different growth environment, Even Tong Jiu would not condone him so far.

After thinking about it, another stack of paper money was thrown in, and the fire burned even bigger.

Shang Feijie is sitting here, and it is said that going to the grave should only be during the daytime, and before 12 noon.But he only came here once a year, and he was alone, so he didn't pay that much attention.

Sitting, but there is nothing to say, even when Shang Yanyu was alive, he did not show any more love and care for this younger brother.Everything stays on the superficial exchanges of politeness and personal touch, so far.There used to be no words, but now that people and ghosts have different paths, they are even more silent.

What should I say?Shang Feijie didn't know, and had no idea, just sat silently, sending stacks of ghost coins with flames.It's just that he knows better than anyone else that the future of the Shang family will be his burden alone.There was no longer a cute voice chasing after him and calling him "brother", and there was no longer a figure that could catch his gaze when he was tired.

Sitting until noon, Shang Feijie beat his legs and stood up, took a last look, and left silently.

Before taking two steps, Shang Feijie saw a puff of green smoke not far away, so he turned around and walked along the row of passages with smoke.

There are tombstones on both sides of the passage, only the one at the end has a brand new offering.It turned out that there were also visitors here today, and it seemed that they had just left.Shang Feijie walked by unintentionally, glanced at the stele from the corner of his eye, and scanned the date of birth engraved on it.

So young... Another young man who passed away in his teens.

The inadvertent sympathy made Shang Feijie stop in his tracks. In the black and white photo on the stele, there is a very good-looking young man.Shang Feijie looked down, and a few lines of words were engraved concisely and clearly on the tablet: Brother Li Qiu

Brother Li Tianmin wept

Coincidentally, they are also brothers.

Shang Feijie sighed slightly, and left. In front of his field of vision, a hulking man was disappearing at the exit of the cemetery.The man was carrying a half-empty cloth bag in his hand, his back clearly had broad shoulders, but he was slightly stooped because of sadness, and there was a bit of vicissitudes that did not match his age.

Was it the person who burned the paper on the stele just now... Shang Feijie felt something, and suddenly, a vague memory flashed in his mind.

Wait a minute, that figure from behind! ?

Shang Feijie chased after him a few steps, but the tall man had completely disappeared.Shang Feijie's heart was beating wildly, he closed his eyes, desperately recalling the flashing back of that person just now.

Where have you seen...that figure...he seems to have seen it somewhere!

Shang Feijie quickly returned to the mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he ordered the butler to call up the mansion video of the robbery seven years ago.

Seven years ago, the organization broke into the Shang Mansion at night to snatch the Eternal Life Palace. They used anesthesia and food poisoning to remove all defenses in advance, and went straight to the location of the Eternal Life Palace as soon as they entered the door.Aiming at this point, the Shang family held countless discussions afterwards, and the result, as Shang Yunkuang speculated, believed that there were internal agents and spies within the Shang family.

But this is just an inference, because after countless investigations and investigations, the possibility of internal response was finally ruled out.

But today, Shang Feijie didn't pay attention to the issue of internal response or not. He turned on the video and carefully observed the images left by the organization and others in Shang's house on the night of the incident.

Of course, the most important and clearest cameras were destroyed by the organizers in advance, and only a few inconspicuous secondary cameras in the side hall and corridor could leave images in the end.

Shang Feijie fast-forwarded a little bit, and soon, a gang of people appeared in the camera: they were four men, each of them wore a silver ghost mask on their faces, looking very frightening.

Over the past seven years, the Shang family finally found one of them through continuous efforts, but the result was a great disappointment - that person was just a habitual thief who was temporarily pulled to make up the number, not a member of the organization. I heard that people from the organization found him the day before , lured him with a huge sum of money, and pulled him to partner in this case.

The monitoring screen flashed away, and in just two seconds, all four of them disappeared from view.

Shang Feijie rewinds the video, slows down the speed, filters frame by frame, and finally locks onto one of the men - this man is tall and strong, yes, he is exactly the same as the man I saw in the cemetery today .

But it's just similar, because the aura of the two is completely different.The man in the cemetery was affected by the emotion of sweeping the grave, depressed and depressed, while the man in the video was busy dealing with the Shang family's pursuers, ready to go like a beast.

A trace of unspeakable disappointment flashed in Shang Feijie's eyes. Just the resemblance of the back could not draw any conclusions, and I am afraid that even doubts could not be established.

It seems that everything has to start with Tong Jiu who "resurrected from the dead".
