Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 712
What Xiao Jing handed over was a small envelope, relatively thin, which should contain letter paper and the like.She raised her beautiful long eyebrows and said, "Open it and have a look."

I know that what she brought must not be a good thing, but there are some things that must be clarified.

After opening it, there were two photos inside.The photo is blurry, but I recognized it at a glance. The tall woman in the photo, wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker, is Wen Min.She is sideways to the camera, standing in front of a quaint shop.

I recognize that shop as Mr. Bai's Qibaiju.

The second photo is at the airport. She seems to be picking up someone. She is picking up a man in his 50s. He is thin and looks energetic.The photo was obviously taken recently, but the exact time cannot be determined. However, according to the clothes on the photo, BJ was not too cold at that time, and it should be taken before the operation of swallowing silkworms in the ancient city. From the point of view, Still candid.

Looking at the first photo, I couldn't figure out when she went to Qibaiju. Could it be that the idea I've always suspected really existed?

Suppressing the uncomfortable feeling in my heart, I asked Xiao Jing where the photo came from.

Xiao Jing smiled, and said: "These photos are my sincerity. The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooking, my lackey is about to be cleaned up by Lu, so before that, of course I have to find myself A way to survive. I got the photo secretly from Lu Su, he actually sent someone to investigate the person surnamed Gu very early on, guess what he found out?"

I stared at her and motioned for her to continue.

The smile on Xiao Jing's face deepened, and she said, "I want to know? Then shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

I said, "Do you want to cooperate with me?"

Xiao Jing said: "Forget it. I just want to save my own life. Lu Su is a man who kills grass and roots. Since he wants to hide this good bow, he will never let me go. Now, it's just you and him. Go against it, and it's not like he doesn't shy away from you at all, even if he doesn't want to, I can only look for you."

I really didn't want to have anything to do with this woman, so I said: "Lu Su is very busy, if you really want to live, I don't believe he can chase you abroad."

Xiao Jing said: "It's not that easy. If I were a person, it would be easy for me to run away. Unfortunately, I am under the control of others now."

I said, "In other words, you are now a spy?"

Xiao Jing did not deny it, and said: "Yes, he is a spy. I don't have the ability to turn against him directly, I still have to do superficial skills, as long as we cooperate happily, I can provide you with a lot of information. This..." She gestured He glanced at the photo and said, "It's just a tip."

Looking at the familiar people in the photo, I felt chills in my heart, Xiao Jing was right, I was quite sad.Gathering my mind, I nodded and said, "One more you is not too much, one less you is not much, tell me, what's going on."

Xiao Jing said: "Actually, you should know it in your own heart. This person named Gu is too suspicious, but you don't want to believe it, so you never investigated her, but Lu Su is different. You know why she went to Qibai Residence, you know why this old man Who is it? This time, Qibaiju brought something to Mr. Bai, and you should know exactly what it is. And this old man is actually a big shot above, and he has a great friendship with her father."

Have a great friendship with Wen Min's father?It seems that he is also a high-ranking official.

"The reputation of the Gu family has actually long since declined. The reason why there has been no sign of decline over the years is that this woman surnamed Gu has indeed contributed a lot. This old man and the Gu family are considered to be in the same camp, and she has been promoted in recent years. According to According to the news I heard, the sale of cultural relics has been too rampant in the past two years, and the higher-ups have been deploying a large-scale operation to prepare for a one-time settlement. The person surnamed Gu is likely to be eyeing this piece of fat. She is an anti-smuggler Police, you actually brought her into the circle, Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, should I say you value love and justice, or should you say you are stupid?"

Xiao Jing's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down, making me feel chilly all over.To be honest, I also thought about it, a policeman, a policeman with a sense of justice, why would he come together with me, a tomb robber?He even gave up his position and followed us to fight several times.

I tried to doubt her, but I couldn't find a trace of falsehood in every bit of getting along with her.

Is it because I don't know people clearly, or is she too good at acting?
Did I never really know this woman?

Of course, I can't trust Xiao Jing's words completely, she has too many criminal records, but even so, it still gave me a lot of shock.

Xiao Jing continued on her own, "After learning about this, Lu Su didn't tell anyone. I can't figure out what his intention is."

I thought of this trip to ancient Shu and found it unbelievable.In this operation, several members of Team Liu also sacrificed. If all this was just for the sake of 'playing the game', wouldn't Wen Min have paid too much in the past two years?According to the information she has, if she really wanted to pay the payment, she could have done it long ago, so why hasn't there been any movement yet?
Since it is clearing the payment, it is naturally treated equally, so why are you connected with Bai Sanye?
As if seeing through my doubts, Xiao Jing smiled and said, "As far as I know, this old man surnamed Bai is very courageous. Over the years abroad, he has had a lot of bad habits. He dared to resell overseas for the first big deal. , and even had a direct shootout with the police. Did he treat this place as a foreign country? Guys surnamed Gu, this is putting a long line to catch a big fish, understand? They haven't forgotten this account, it's all in the old man's head Let’s go. The closer the two get, the worse the death will be when the net is collected.”

When she said this, it was full of loopholes. How could Mr. Bai trust a policeman for no reason?
When I asked this question, Xiao Jing smiled and said, "What if this policeman hangs out with a tomb robber all year round, and sells cultural relics in private to make extra money?"

I was startled and said, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Jing sneered and said, "literally. This person surnamed Gu is a character, she is willing to let go of the thread, and even more willing to pour dirty water on herself. In the eyes of Mr. Bai, she is just a policeman who pretends to be a policeman. It's just a woman who colludes to make a fortune. The person who can be bought with money is the easiest person to control. The old man trusts her a lot, and secretly made several deals. He thought he was taking advantage of it, but he didn't know it. He was tricked by this woman. Now he is laughing happily, but I am afraid that when the time comes, he will die in a miserable way."

I didn't say a word, sorting out everything in the past two years in my mind. The doubts that I suppressed before spread rapidly under such stimulation.If all this is true, then this 'bureau' is terrible.

Countless people will be caught in this 'bureau', and I have become a tool to be used.

When I reacted, I realized that I had uncontrollably smashed the teacup in my hand.I think I have good self-control ability. In the past few years, no matter what happens, I have never lost my composure. It has been a long time since such a thing like smashing things happened.

Xiao Jing, however, smiled, approached her pretty face, and said, "You know now? Compared with her, what did the little things I did back then mean? I'll give you a cuckold at best, she, yes Treat you as mice, set up a trap, and plan to end it in one pot."

I lay on a wooden chair, feeling exhausted.

Xiao Jing didn't stop, and continued: "Don't look at Lu Su's reputation on the road, but he never does things by himself. Once something happens, he can get out immediately, but you are different. You, and the capital That one has a solid foundation, once something happens, no one can escape. The reason why Lu Su suppressed this matter, I even suspect that he also secretly helped the surnamed Gu, is nothing more than watching from a distance Hu Dou, even if he fails, someone surnamed Gu will come and clean you up. He watched you put this bomb by your side but didn’t remind you, what is his intention, don’t you know?”

Seeing that I was silent, Xiao Jing smiled, raised the back of her hand, walked out gracefully, and said without turning her head: "That's all for now, I believe we will have a pleasant cooperation. You, too, should be able to make the right decision." The choice. How to deal with your goddess, think about it."

Not long after she left, Cyclops came to the back hall, looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, with a somewhat uncertain expression, and said, "Master, what happened, why are you so angry?"

I opened my mouth and wanted to speak, but found that my throat seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, and I couldn't speak a word.

If three years ago, when Xiao Jing betrayed me, what I felt was sadness and anger, then now, I only feel deep frustration and self-loathing.

Could it be that I, Chen Xuan, are really so unbearable?

At thirty, I am not considered young.In this life, there are only two women that I have truly loved. I believe that I am single-minded, but what do I get in the end?In the dark, what is at work?I thought of my dead grandma, who also betrayed grandpa in another form.And my unknown mother, now it's my turn.

The members of our Chen family seem to be cursed.

No... not like, there is a curse in the first place.

Grandpa couldn't escape, Chen Ci couldn't escape, and the mute couldn't escape either.Although the mute didn't say it clearly, when I was in the snow mountain, I could see that he was not indifferent to Jizi, and in the end, Jizi died in the snow mountain.

I took a few deep breaths, waved my hand, and said, "It's okay, I've recovered, is there anyone outside?"

The one-eyed dragon nodded worriedly, and said, "Well, it's time for dinner, and there are few tourists." While speaking, his one-eyed glanced at the photo on the table, and it widened suddenly, saying: "Officer Gu, this..." He The look of surprise made me feel that something was wrong. Seeing the photo of the boss' girlfriend, shouldn't I be so surprised?
My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly had an ominous feeling.
