After sending the message, Qi Zang put the phone in his pocket, and then he strode forward again, sticking behind Xu Ci in the narrow underground passage.

Xu Ci was slightly shorter than Qi Zang, and his damp hair was almost sticking to the tip of his nose because of being soaked by the waterfall.Qi Zang raised his hand naturally, intending to tear off a few strands of Xu Ci's hair with lightning speed.

As for how to explain to Xu Ci...

Let's talk about it when Xu Ci finds out that his hair is torn off. At worst, he can say that he is simply in debt.

Who wouldn't cheat?

To Qi Zang's surprise, his surprise attack was unsuccessful.Xu Ci's reaction was extremely sensitive, and he turned around quickly and raised his hand to clasp Qi Zang's wrist at the very moment, with great strength.

Qi Zang raised his eyebrows, just as he bumped into Xu Ci's serious and cold eyes flying over. "what are you doing?"

"You got a piece of dust on your head. I'll help you get it." Qi Zang said without shame, "You're too alert."

Xu Ci's eyes returned to normal.Looking at Qi Zang suspiciously, he let go of his hand and turned around again.But he didn't move forward immediately, but picked up the sleeve of his left hand and took a look.

Only then did Qi Zang realize that his elbow was injured.

It was probably caused by his elbow brushing against the stone wall when he turned around hastily and raised his hand to stop Qi Zang just now.This corridor is really too narrow.

"Wait, don't move."

Qi Zang took out a tissue, pulled Xu Ci's left wrist to make him raise his hand, and shined a flashlight on the wound. After observing that there was nothing serious, he gently wiped the wound with a tissue.

"Sorry, I have a medicine box in the car. I'll bandage it for you later."

"No need. A little injury." Xu Ci picked up his phone again and took a picture of the road ahead, "There seems to be light at the corner ahead. Go and have a look."

Staring at Xu Ci's back, Qi Zang put away the bloody tissue, his eyes became a little serious.

Although he successfully obtained Xu Ci's DNA, Qi Zang didn't show any joy on his face. It was because Xu Ci's reaction just now was so unbelievably sensitive that even well-trained criminal police rarely did it.

In addition, the defensive eyes he subconsciously revealed just now were too cold, almost revealing the meaning of killing...

What's the matter with him?Have you been living in the shadow of being murdered at any time, so that you have developed a conditioned reflex?

Who is he afraid of being killed?

At this moment, Gong Nianci sent a message. "Where is the person? After I took the sample, I found that both of you were missing. There is an extra hole in the stone bridge, are you two in it?"

Qi Zang didn't reply again.He followed Xu Ci with strides.The two turned a corner along the corridor, and there was indeed a light ahead.Walking in the direction of the light for a moment, the road ahead is suddenly bright——

They actually came to the back of the waterfall.

Around the pool and stone wall, Xu Ci and Qi Zang circled back to the front of the waterfall from the road, and met Gong Nianci who was waiting there.

Gong Nianci was obviously a little surprised. "What's the situation? Is there a secret passage below?"

Qi Zang nodded. "You go and take Li Zhengzheng and the others to take samples. I'll go to the management office of Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area and ask what's going on."

·

10 minutes later, Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area Management Office.

Faced with Qi Zang's question, the staff can be said to know nothing about it.

"What waterfall landscaping? I just transferred, I don't know."

"You want to see our files? Don't you? I heard that you need some proof? Did your leaders agree? You can't say, just come to the police, and we have to give internal information, right? You have to follow procedures in everything!"

"I'm going to change shifts, why don't you find the next person to ask, it will increase my workload!"

Qi Zang didn't talk nonsense with him, walked around the office with a fierce and unresistible momentum, and directly raised his finger to the balcony.

There is a building similar to a sun room. It is a simple water bar. It is a tourist business. There are a few sun loungers next to it, and the employees probably take a lunch break there.

"The water bar is obviously illegal. You guys in the office set it up to make extra money? I won't ask about the catering license and business license. Have you reported to the fire department for approval?"

Qi Zang took out his mobile phone as if he wanted to make a call, and looked at the staff member with evil eyes. "My good buddy is on the fire, let him come over now to check?"

staff member:"……"

There were three knocks at even intervals from the direction of the door.

Qi Zang turned his head and saw Xu Ci standing leaning against the door.

"What's wrong?" Qi Zang asked him.

Xu Ci raised the phone with his left hand and shook it. "I found information on the Internet that three years ago, a well-known magician named Meng Yiran performed a large-scale live-action magic trick at Zishui Waterfall in Baiyun Mountain.

"I looked for the video of the performance. They artificially created wind and rain, and they also used dry ice to create fog. When the fog was thickest, Meng Yiran disappeared out of thin air on the stone bridge near the waterfall. When the fog cleared, she walked from the middle of the waterfall. It floated out. Everyone praised, Meng Yiran is a real fairy who walked out of Zishui Waterfall."

Qi Zang grabbed something immediately. "Where Meng Yiran disappeared is the entrance of the cave?"

If this is the case, it is not difficult to imagine the origin of the so-called Secret Way.It is an artificial mechanism created by magicians to perform magic tricks.

Meng Yiran seemed to disappear out of thin air, and suddenly appeared in front of the waterfall. In fact, he went around to the back of the waterfall through a secret passage, and then floated down from above the water curtain through the wire.

Xu Ci nodded and said: "It should be right. So——

"People who can take advantage of this trap are most likely to be people who understand the relevant landscape renovation. Either the staff at the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area at that time, or the staff of Meng Yiran's magic team, or the construction personnel who provided renovation services for their team. "

Glancing at the ashen-faced staff member behind Qi Zang, Xu Ci said: "Give out the information of all the staff who have worked here, whether they have left or not. In addition, if you want to do renovations at Zishui Waterfall, you must go through If you agree with the scenic spot, then you need to provide all the relevant contract and personnel information with the construction party—”

"Eh? Xie Qiao, Mr. Xie?" Qi Zang couldn't help interrupting.Facing Xu Ci's natural attitude, he almost laughed.

Xu Ci's words stopped temporarily, and he looked sideways at Qi Zang. He smiled faintly, but continued to speak to the staff member. "Give it all to Officer Qi."

Qi Zang made it clear that he didn't want to share information with Xu Ci, so he took the staff to look at the information.

Xu Ci didn't force himself to follow. While waiting outside the office, he received a call from his assistant Meng Bie.

"Mr. Xie, the police came again today and collected everyone's DNA. I feel that the situation is not good. If there really may be a murderer among the employees, we have to go to the branch, right? The secretary's office even asked me today. "

"Well. Report it. Let them make a public relations plan."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Ci glanced at the office of the scenic spot, his eyes turned cold, revealing a rare seriousness.

Why did the police suddenly want to extract everyone's DNA?

Before, they did not directly list all the employees present as suspects, and the inquiries were all conducted at the storefront of Beishuidian, not the police station.

It is very likely that new discoveries were made during the autopsy on Liu Na, and they need to conduct further investigations.

If this is the case, then Qi Zangda can openly propose that he needs to provide DNA.

But he didn't mention it, but just secretly collected his own blood...

--why?

Xu Ci had to suspect that he wanted to do a comparison.

But the last time the two met was eight years ago.How is he going to compare?What did he keep from himself?

In any case, did he really have doubts?

Xu Ci thought that the disguise was perfect.

After staying in Jinning City for so long, it's not that he hasn't met and chatted with his former teachers, classmates, and even other roommates.

No one doubted his identity.

But Qi Zang...

Xu Ci simply felt that this was a bit metaphysical.

Exhaling shallowly, he glanced at the management office of the scenic spot, Xu Ci turned and left, went straight to the parking lot, and started the car.

On the way down the mountain, Xu Ci passed a public phone booth.After driving the car away, he walked around and walked into the phone booth wearing a hat and mask to make a call.

The phone was picked up quickly.

There was a voice that seemed a little old.

Xu Ci said: "Uncle Qi, it's me. I want to trouble you with something. That's it, about my DNA..."

After a long time, the aged and slightly serious voice spoke. "It's easy to handle. It just so happened that you called, and I have something else to ask you. The painting involved in this case was drawn by you before? Deputy Director Liu hopes you can explain the situation."

Hearing the painting, Xu Ci frowned subconsciously.

Eight years ago, it was the "Deputy Office Liu" who was worried about his mental state and specially arranged psychological assessment and counseling treatment for him.Only after Xu Ci passed the assessment with a high score can he be sent to Myanmar to participate in an operation against a criminal organization called "Four Color Flowers".

That painting was drawn during his first session with a psychiatrist.

In view of some of the past that only he and Deputy Office Liu knew, in Xu Ci's view, if he showed no psychological problems at all, Deputy Office Liu might not be able to fully believe it.So he deliberately painted the picture like that, and faked a mental illness for himself, so that in the end, of course he was able to successfully show the illusion that he had solved the mental illness and successfully passed the final psychological evaluation.

However, after successfully going to Burma, what Xu Ci and others came to was not Sicolorhua's arrest.On the contrary, their action team became Sicolorhua's palm because their whereabouts were leaked.

Xu Ci and his three teammates had their feet tied up and knelt in a row in the forest.

In front of them, a masked man with a gun was carrying out the execution.

boom!

boom! !

boom! ! !

Three shots rang out.Half of Xu Ci's face was splashed with warm blood, even his eyes were red.

The pitch-black muzzle was finally aimed at him, and Xu Ci's pupils dilated uncontrollably.

"Since ancient times, heroes are like beauties, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair...

"'Hero' and 'Beauty', Xu Ci, Xu Ci, you have both of these two items, no wonder you are short-lived."

"But I don't have to kill you. Because you can't go back.

"Xu Ci, no one will believe you. Everyone will think you are a traitor."

……

After eight years, that devil-like whisper still lingered in Xu Ci's ears.There was almost anger in his eyes.

When he clenched the receiver and spoke again, he didn't hide his emotions, and there were obvious thorns in his words. "Uncle Qi, have you never believed me?"

Hearing this, the person on the other side of the phone sighed. "If you still have such thoughts...I'm really sorry for Deputy Office Liu's trust and arrangement."

Xu Ci said mockingly: "You don't deal with me for the time being, just because my current identity is useful to you, and you can use me as an informant. In order to restart the investigation of Qingfeng Group, the special case team of the Provincial Department of Economic Investigation It's already established, isn't it?"

At this point, without waiting for "Uncle Qi" to speak again, Xu Ci said: "The psychiatrist was found by Deputy Office Liu himself, and his name is Shen Yihan. He should know this doctor better than me.

"After I saw the painting this time, I checked it out. Dr. Shen left the country the year before last. It is said that he left in a hurry and didn't even hand over the work. When his colleague went to his house to get the materials, he entered the password. I found that his home was turned into a mess. I suspect that the patient's file was stolen at that time. That's how my paintings were leaked. Because of the mission, I didn't ask the doctor to record the name 'Xu Ci'. This It's lucky.

"In my personal judgment, this case is neither a copycat suicide nor the murderer's murder to create a sense of ritual. The painting was only used to hide the motive or interfere with the police's thinking in solving the case.

"At present, it is not cost-effective to spend a lot of effort to trace the source of the painting, and it is not very meaningful. It is better to pay attention to how Liu Na got this painting. I personally speculate that Liu Na probably didn't know its existence at all. Complete the person, rearrange the scene, and then put the painting on the desk of the deceased Liu Na. Therefore, if you want to find the murderer, let the criminal police team check the school surveillance by themselves. This is an easy way to go.

"In short, this matter has nothing to do with me. The report is over."

Xu Ci hung up the phone.
