Blade of Time

Chapter 114 Conspiracy vs. Conspiracy

Zhou Rui's eyelids keep twitching recently, which makes him feel bad.

During this period of time, he actually never gave up on investigating the person who secretly blackmailed him, but the other party was not too aggressive. Zhou Rui was afraid of provoking the other party, so the investigation was not so radical. It was more about observation, analysis, and recalling what he had offended. Whoever understands all possible event associations is basically still at the level of information analysis.

Among them, the most doubtful one is Jiang Changye - Yilite, Bai Er, Hu Jie, the owner of the antique shop, plus the past enmity, there is an invisible clue in all these, Zhou Rui can naturally detect it with experience.

He couldn't be sure, it was exactly what Tian Siruo said about the old Toke - if Jiang Changye was the blackmailer behind it, he would have no reason to do nothing.

And if he wants to avenge the old Toke, besides reversing the case, the easiest way is to throw out the video of the conversation between Zhou Qiu and Yilite, or increase the bargaining chip of extortion.

But none of that happened.

But Zhou Rui also had some recollections.

If it was really Jiang Changye, he didn't throw out information to avenge the old Toke now, it doesn't mean he won't do it in the future.

Maybe he was just waiting for a good time.

This made Zhou Rui even more uneasy.

While thinking at this moment, the phone on the desk rang.

Zhou Rui answered the phone: "It's me, who is it?"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Director Zhou, how are you?"

Zhou Rui's heart skipped a beat: "I've already given you the five thousand from last time, but three months haven't come yet. What do you mean?"

Jiang Changye smiled cheerfully and said, "Don't be so nervous, Director Zhou. The call doesn't have to be asking for money, it could be something else. I know you haven't been very steadfast these past few months, after all, whether you are being Whoever accumulates such handles will not be able to sleep well. How about this, let me give you a suggestion. [-] meritorious deeds, one-time buyout. How about it?"

Zhou Rui sneered: "Why should I trust you?"

"Deal in person. I'll give you the video, and we can make a contract to ensure that what we give you is the only piece of evidence, and we won't hold back."

"I do not believe you."

"Do you have a choice?"

Zhou Rui was silent.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "The contract is not safe enough, and the truth ceremony is added."

"Okay, you are in charge of the plan, the time, the place, you choose. When the time comes, you will do what you say, and it will be done, right? I have no other purpose, but I need money urgently recently. After this transaction, you will Don't worry about me asking you for anything. But be quick, I don't have that much time."

"Give me seven days to prepare."

Although Zhou Rui has a rich family background, it is still not easy to spend a huge sum of [-] meritorious deeds in a short period of time. He needs to sell his assets and then buy meritorious deeds, which really takes time.

"can."

"This time it's still the law ointment?"

"No, this transfer will do."

"Transfer?" Zhou Rui was stunned.

Jiang Changye smiled lowly: "I've said it all, deal face to face. You will feel more at ease when you see who I am."

"You want to kill me?" Zhou Rui blurted out instinctively.

"Don't be silly, Sir Director. You decide the time and place of the transaction, short notice, change of location, etc. You can use whatever you want. You can bring as many people as you want, as long as you are at ease. In this case, I want It's ridiculous to be able to kill you." Jiang Changye said and hung up the phone.

Seven days later, Jiang Changye called Zhou Rui, who said he would have to wait for three more days.

Jiang Changye said no problem.

He knew that Zhou Rui was worried and deliberately delayed, but it was true that he didn't intend to engage in tricks such as murder and silence this time, so he did whatever he wanted.

After another three days, Zhou Rui finally decided to trade.

At eleven noon the next day, Jinhang Hotel, Room 401.

Zhou Rui brought a large number of personnel from the Department of Public Security to the hotel, looked at the room at the end of the corridor, Zhou Rui said to his son: "Take someone to guard here, if I don't shout, don't go in. If someone else comes in, don't go in." If there are too many, don't ask questions."

Zhou Qiu nodded seriously.

Only then did Zhou Rui stride in.

Before coming, he had already booked all the rooms on this floor, and he checked every room along the way to make sure there were no outsiders before entering the room.

Check room 401 to make sure there is no monitoring; close the curtains to make sure you can't see yourself in the opposite building; take out a set of defensive devices to guard this place, make a lot of preparations, and finally take out the materials you have prepared a long time ago. Made a ritual.

Ritual of truth.

After drawing the ceremony, Zhou Rui sat on the sofa and waited quietly.

The hour hand on the clock ticked until twelve o'clock struck.

Zhou Qiu called: "Someone is here."

Zhou Rui asked: "Who?"

"It's wrapped into a zongzi, you can't see your face, do you want me to open it?"

"No, let him in."

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Rui said: "Come in, the door is unlocked."

The door opened, and a man wrapped in a black burqa entered.

Entering the room, the other party slowly lifted the mask, looking at the other party's appearance, Zhou Rui was stunned: "Ghost?"

Xinglaer walked to the ceremony of truth, dripped a drop of blood, and chanted: "I swear to the truth with my life, what I say is the truth during this ceremony, otherwise I will accept all punishments."

As Xing Lal started the ceremony, a large piece of golden light rose from the ceremony, wandering around Xing Lal's body, Xing Lal let out a painful groan.

Truth detection is not 100% effective, but when the other party voluntarily recognizes the ceremony, it means it must be effective.

Therefore, the effect of the truth ritual on polygraph detection by the trial court is far less good than that in this case. After all, the former can also be uncooperative.

At this moment, Xing Laer held back the piercing pain and looked at Zhou Rui: "The ceremony is complete, can we start?"

Zhou Rui's face sank: "You are not the one who called me."

Xing Laer smiled: "That's not important, the important thing is the transaction."

She took out the video: "This is the only copy."

The ceremony of truth was silent, meaning she was telling the truth.

Zhou Rui didn't move, just looked at Xing Laer: "Just because you tell the truth, doesn't mean the person behind you is telling the truth. If he lied to you, then this is still not the only one!"

"He and I also used the two-way truth ceremony to prove it."

Seeing that there was no movement in the ceremony of truth, Zhou Rui heaved a sigh of relief and said, "What if I grab it now?"

Xing Laer flipped his wrist, and the video disappeared: "You can kill me, but you can't grab it. Let's make a contract, [-] meritorious service, this is yours."

"Who is your mastermind?"

"I can't lie, but I don't have to! Don't waste time asking questions that can't be answered, Your Excellency."

Zhou Rui took a deep breath: "Account."

Starl handed him a note.

Zhou Rui looked at it and understood: "Your account? No wonder."

Stargate accounts are universal, but different races and civilizations have different prefixes, which can be clearly seen at a glance.

If it is a human race, the identity can be traced through the Stargate account, but if it is a ghost, then it doesn't matter if you check it.

Xing Laer said concisely: "Contract."

Zhou Rui raised his hand, and a golden contract lit up.

The general idea is that after this transaction, traders, including those behind the scenes, must never mention this matter again.

The main restricting party of the contract is still the contract object, and it has no binding force on the people behind the scenes, but if there is no evidence, then the problem is not big, and the contract guarantees the smooth progress of this transaction.

Xing Lal glanced roughly, bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on it, and the golden contract turned into a golden light and poured into Xing Lal's body.

"Relaxed?" Xing Laer smiled.

Zhou Rui didn't say anything, and with a wave of his hand, a three-dimensional light screen appeared in front of him.

After typing quickly, Xing Laer saw that [-] meritorious deeds had appeared on his account.

She smiled slightly: "Director Zhou is really rich."

Zhou Rui stretched out his hand: "Things."

Xing Laer took out the video and handed it to him. Zhou Rui glanced at it and said, "Only this one?"

Xing Laer reaffirmed: "There is only one copy."

click!
Zhou Rui crushed the video in his hand.

He got up slowly, exuding an astonishing aura all over his body: "A little ghost of Sequence 9 dares to blackmail me!"

Xing Laer raised his brows: "So, are you planning to do something?"

Zhou Rui clenched his iron fist tightly.

He wanted to do it.

The contract restricted her from speaking out about it, and it was also a credit for her to be arrested.

But Zhou Rui knew better, since the other party dared to appear here, he must have something to rely on.

But he had already made enough preparations, and he couldn't figure out what the other party could rely on.

He hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to make a move.

Xing Laer smiled disdainfully: "If you don't do anything, I will leave."

As she spoke, she put on her veil again, turned and left.

Looking at Xing Laer's back, Zhou Rui was about to make a move.

But at this moment, a tyrannical force full of death breath locked him behind him.

This is... a deterrent at the Sequence 7 level?
Zhou Rui was shocked.

At that moment, his mood completely sank to the bottom.

So what if you take strict precautions?Facing Sequence 7, all defensive measures are like pediatrics!
At that moment, facing the coercion of a Sequence 7, Zhou Rui didn't even have the courage to turn around.

At that moment, he even began to regret dismissing Tian Siruo, without Tian Siruo, the department didn't even have a Sequence 7 fighter.But having said that, even if she is not dismissed, this kind of thing is not suitable for her to participate in, right?Thoughts flashed in my mind, but my body was numb.

At the end of the corridor, Zhou Qiu led a group of people watching the man in black just walk out.

He yelled nervously, "Father!"

Zhou Rui's roar came from the room: "Let her go!"
