Returning from the abyss

Chapter 740 Preface of the Living

Lu Ning raised her head and met Ye Qin's eyes. She was sure that the two of them understood the same thing, but Ye Qin's attitude was always cold, and she couldn't let people know what was going on in her heart.

She used musical notes to slowly remove the blood on her hands, and also removed the blood on Lu Ning by the way.

"The resentment of the undead, although it can be used, is not a good thing after all."

Taoist priests are really cruel in a sense.

The two came out, Yan Zidan came to ask Lu Ning, she just nodded slightly.Xu Tong was getting impatient: "Let's go upstairs, the other party must be in this hotel, right?"

"The water mirror is set up here." Ye Qin replied, "Unless they are confident in their technique and don't worry about anyone finding it, there will definitely be someone staying here."

"That's just right." Xu Tong sneered, "These people..."

"that!"

Mr. Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Everyone! I...I want...please come with me for a while!"

"Huh? We are classmates with Yan Meng, and as long as we find the culprit behind the scenes, we can avenge her, don't you want?" Xu Tong asked loudly.

"No, I just sound like you don't have that much confidence... It's better that I can do a little bit! I have been to this place before, a long time ago! I know some things here!"

"Is it some precious information?" Xu Tong asked again.

"I don't know! But...but please let me contribute a little! I want to make at least... at least a little... compensation for my poor daughter..."

"Isn't it too late?" Ye Qin said coldly, "Now...well, I'll go and have a look with you."

"Hey! We've already arrived at the enemy's base camp. What's the use of you still looking for information?" Xu Tong asked with a frown.

"I, a detective, need information, can you?" Ye Qin stopped back with one sentence, "Lead the way, since you have been to this place before."

The people in front were arguing, while Lu Ning quietly asked Yan Zidan to light the remains of the book with a folding fan.

The fan shows the scenery of Tongfang Town, one piece is Tongfang Town like hell, sinking into the night, and the other is Tongfang Town in daytime, the sky is gloomy.The two copper square towns are separated from the upper and lower sides, separated by the center, and completely symmetrical.

"This... is the current situation in the state of the water mirror?" Yan Zidan said, "It means that the sun has already begun to rise in a normal sky."

"Let's follow Ye Qin and the others. It looks like we still have something to discover. Be careful of the people left here." Lu Ning nodded, and pulled Yan Zidan to catch up with the three people who were going to the corridor on the side of the hotel.

The bright light shines on the entire corridor. After forgetting the miserable scene behind, you will find that this is still a good hotel. The corridors are cleaned very cleanly. The things are old but not dilapidated, and some old things are well preserved. style.When he reached Room No. [-], Mr. Yan stopped, stretched out his hand and pressed the doorknob, then looked at Ye Qin: "Here, can you open it?"

Ye Qin flicked her fingers and muttered something in a low voice, the door lock made a light sound and clicked open.

Mr. Yan walked in.

"The room service should be cleaning..." Xu Tong was still a little unhappy.

"In...in the water tank of the toilet." Mr. Yan said.

"Looks like you found it?"

"Yes...the toilet was broken at the time. When I asked the hotel staff to fix it, I found it by accident, so I took it off, and after reading it, I posted it back. It's been two or three months since now, and no one must have noticed... ..." Mr. Yan walked into the bathroom, lifted the lid of the toilet tank, reached out and touched the lid a few times, and then tore off a small notebook wrapped in plastic film.

"What is this?" Lu Ning asked.

"The last words written by the director of a project...should have committed suicide after writing it, so I kept it in mind."

This heart is not very good.

Mr. Yan handed the small notebook to Ye Qin. Ye Qin opened it and flipped through it. It seemed that there was quite a lot of content in it, every page was there. It took her about ten minutes to read the contents of the notebook, and then threw it to the Lu Ning.

"The things written on it...do have some effect." Ye Qin said.

The name of the person who wrote the notes was Jiang Huichen. Judging from his tone, he must have some connection with the Taoist circle, but he did not mention these issues in detail.

He was the general manager in charge of an important project before that, and he knew more than others.But he didn't have the idea of ​​giving his life for Baligong's plan. He was the kind of person who maintained the project for his own selfish desires.When he noticed that the flow of funds and customers had changed, he began to investigate the newly established project team and found some clues.

Due to Baligong's own management structure, he couldn't directly investigate other project teams without bypassing his superiors, but this did not prevent him from learning some inside news through other channels.Baligong is already launching a bigger plan. This plan is very ambitious, and it is also a bottomless pit for absorbing resources. Even if the project he controlled was the backbone of Baligong at the time, it would still be stopped because of the bigger plan. .

He did not accept such a result.

The people in Baligong are all gathered for some selfish desires, and the same is true for Jiang Huichen.He is very clear that within two or three months if this goes on, his project will be turned into nourishment, and he is very clear about the result of the abolished project.But if he tried to disrupt Huang Baligong's project approval, he also knew what would happen.

In the note, he recorded all the investigation information he had learned so far, and this was the last time he had the opportunity to write this note.He didn't find a chance, so before his idea was exposed, he was going to try again. If he didn't succeed, he would commit suicide, completely shutting down his project, and causing a considerable shortage of resources for Baligong.This is not for any justice, but purely out of revenge.

From a realistic point of view, Bali Gong has not been affected too much, but Jiang Huichen guessed the situation of those projects correctly.As for the key information Ye Qin mentioned, it was a question he pointed out based on his own experience.

[No matter how many projects Baligong is working on at the same time, they must have only one focus, which is a consistent feature of top projects.My project was created with five projects of a similar level. We, who were originally ranked third, finally got the main support of Baligong under the operation.Of course, at this moment, we are probably all being abandoned.However, among the four projects I pointed out, it must be the same as before, and it seems to be progressing in parallel. In fact, Baligong has long decided to only choose the best one and pour a lot of resources, but these newly appointed The manager doesn't know yet.

I will try to provoke this contradiction, but I don't think it will be easy to succeed.But in any case, this is a breakthrough point. The supervisor chosen by Baligong must be the most suitable one. Every supervisor will cherish his own project... Maybe my reaction is also expected by them. 】

Finally, he also told the person who discovered that if he did not understand what was described in the note, he would hand it over to the police.The information about Jiang Huichen may have been erased from most intelligence systems, but it will still be kept somewhere.

"They are really making people angry." Lu Ning handed Yan Zidan to let her see, and commented.

"Bali workers don't care about this. They didn't even adopt the old manager to take charge of the new project, which means that the manager is just a consumable." Ye Qin said, "Jiang Huichen's resistance must have failed. The size of the Bali worker is not If he can fight, we... I'm afraid we can't either."

"Well, I think so. But when you came, you should have prepared for the follow-up, right? For example, how long has it been since you haven't heard from me before someone rushed over?" Lu Ning asked.

"Of course, within two days, if I don't come out, my contact person will directly contact the National Daoist Association, and at least [-] national experts will rush to Tongfang Town within twelve hours, no matter where the Bali workers are. What are they planning, they will never be able to keep this place."

"Then I'm relieved." Lu Ning laughed.

"What are you worried about?"

"Ah, keep it secret."

After Yan Zidan showed Xu Tong the notes, Xu Tong didn't care too much: "How does this help us now? That is to say, knowing that the managers at the lower levels may not know the truth, but what really needs to be dealt with is Lin Yuan and his '" We're absolutely of one mind, right? Aren't we going to fight in the end?"

"It can't be said that, our purpose is to solve our problems." Ye Qin said, "In more detail, it is the solitaire story problem we are stuck in. If this aspect can be solved properly, I think the rest can be discussed .”

"You... so many people died in vain?"

"They don't have much to do with me. I only need to solve two things, Solitaire and the murderer." Ye Qin's goal is very clear, "I don't care about the outcome other than these two."

Lu Ning felt that compared to the other party's flaws mentioned in the notes, it was more likely to be infighting on her own side.

Both Ye Qin and Xu Tong have clear goals, but their goals are subtly different. If the cunning Lin Yuan finds out about this, I'm afraid this temporary small team will collapse immediately.For some reason, Lu Ning felt that Lin Yuan would not choose to use force to suppress, but would take some other method, provided that Lin Yuan was the highest orderer.

If we continue...

"We need to find the hotel's water mirror and destroy it. That's what we're going to do now. It's up to you whether you want to continue walking together." Ye Qin said coldly, then turned and walked towards the stairs of the hotel.

Xu Tong's face was completely unconvinced, but now Ye Qin, an orthodox Taoist priest, is still in the dominant position, and she can only express a few words verbally.

I went upstairs along the slightly old creaking stairs. There was nothing special about the second floor, but there were eight candles with faint blue flames burning on the third floor. The pedestals under these candles had accumulated thick A layer of candle wax, it looks like the candle has been changed many times and burned for a long time.

She could feel that Ye Qin's nerves were tense. She looked to the left and right corridors, her expression was very cautious, and even the other four people began to be cautious.

When passing by a candle, Lu Ning didn't feel any burning temperature of the flame, but a sense of dampness and coldness, which was exactly the same as what she felt in the fake Baligong before.

"This way." Ye Qin determined the direction, the corridor on the left, and she began to walk towards the deep room.

Everyone kept a relatively close distance to prevent any sudden attack or sudden change of space. It is not surprising that there are other defensive measures here besides the water mirror, but...in fact, there is nothing.

Ye Qin arrived at the deepest room, which was originally supposed to be one of the most luxurious rooms in the hotel, but now it probably became the dojo of Shui Jing.

The door was broken by Ye Qin and opened slowly.There was light from inside, and unlike the lights seen in the hotel before, the light reflected here was natural light.Some dim, but real sunshine—the day came to this room as usual.

Amidst the faint scent of incense, in the corner on the left side of the room stood a simple wash stand with a water basin on it. If they didn't know that it was a water mirror, no one would have noticed the weirdness of the water basin.

The biggest obstacle between the few people and the water basin is sitting cross-legged on the ancient big bed in the center of the room that can accommodate three people.An old man with white beard and hair, wearing only a tattered coat, and a muscular body sat on the bed, as if he didn't care about the cold surrounding environment at all.The old man's falcon-like eyes had already seen everyone, but he just sat on the bed, motionless, as stable as Mount Tai.

This old man is obviously the guard arranged here by Baligong, and he is obviously not weak.Lu Ning could vaguely feel a certain aura from him, without any hesitation at all, if there was any change on her side, the old man would probably instantly kill anyone who dared to approach the water mirror.

"This old man..." Xu Tong gritted his teeth, looking like he wanted to rush forward, but Ye Qin didn't move, and she also wouldn't act rashly.

"Tremolo!"

Still wanting Ye Qin to make a move, the note came out of her hand with a loud shock. Not only the old man, but she also targeted most of the house area in front of her, including the water mirror.

"Shuzi dare!"

The shattered rhythm was intercepted in mid-air by a copper piece, and the old man tore off the copper piece from his wrist and threw it as fast as lightning.However, the temporary defense only blocked the direction of him and Shui Jing, and the furniture in other places began to crumble into pieces.

The old man stepped down from the bed with a ferocious smile on the corner of his mouth. At this moment, Xu Tong had already rushed over, also aiming at the water mirror, but the twisted dagger in his hand pointed directly at the old man's chest. The curved tip bites like a snake.

"Crooked way!" The old man punched out, and Lu Ning noticed that his wrist was still covered with a copper ring, and the copper ring seemed to flash a rune at the moment of punching out.

However, Xu Tong also retracted the dagger in an instant, and his body retreated suddenly, not letting the terrible wind of the fist sweep him.
