Chapter 113 Worship
Bai Qi and the other women were relatively stable and said, "Compared to Cui Jian, I care more about Duanmu. Duanmu deliberately took the project, as if to tell the boss that he already knows that you are a member of Nemo."
Xue Bing asked: "What is his purpose?"
Bai Qi: "This little guy is very flamboyant. He is a vanguard of the special forces. His previous job was related to Ye Wen. In the worst case scenario, the special forces suspect that the person who paid 30 million US dollars to kill Ye Liang is related to Nemo."
The short-haired girl said, "Duanmu and I once ran into each other at Cui Jian's house, and I shouldn't have been in Hancheng. I think Duanmu became suspicious because of this, and suspected that the person who hired the murderer had something to do with me."
Bai Qi then sorted out the information. First, because Xue Bing had asked Nemo to handle an internal matter, it was certain that Duanmu knew Xue Bing's identity and that the short-haired woman was Xue Bing's person. Secondly, judging from the short-haired woman, Duanmu's meeting with the short-haired woman was purely accidental. Duanmu's subconscious actions when they met showed that he did not expect the short-haired woman to be in Hancheng.
The worst thing is that Duanmu can easily find out that Ye Rannuo and the short-haired girl are in the same group because of the chance encounter. Ye Rannuo works in the network security technology department of Dayin. This job is very special and can explore many secrets silently. Ye Wen is now the chairman of Dayin Group, the president and controlling shareholder of Dayin Finance.
Bai Qi made a comprehensive analysis and believed that: "Although Duanmu has a lot of information, he lacks the ability to link the information together, so he has to find ways to contact the boss and the people around the boss. Duanmu is affiliated with the special service and has no right to investigate the information of Nemo members. He can only obtain information through open contact. The only question is, why does Duanmu want to obtain member information? As a neutral tool, the job of the Nemo special service is to provide services, not to investigate members. I guess Duanmu's identity is not that simple, and he must have other purposes for working in the special service."
Xue Bing: "Do you think he is collecting as much information as possible about Nemo members?"
Bai Qi: "Yes. Two months ago, something happened. Ten gold mines in Central Africa changed hands. The owner of the gold mines was a member of Nemo. The gold mines were bought by a shell company. After the gold mines were sold, the company was deregistered. The former owner of the gold mines disappeared after the gold mines were sold. Some people speculated that he was wiped out by Qi Sha, and some speculated that he was transferred to a safe shelter. I have a hunch that someone inside Nemo kidnapped him and squeezed out his value, and then wiped him out."
Xue Bing smiled and said, "It seems that Duanmu is the one who is trying to steal our business."
Bai Qi: "It's impossible to be sure. But Duanmu deliberately contacted you, which shows that he is not a law-abiding special service member."
Xue Bing: "Just wait and see."
……
Cui Jian, who got his driver's license, went out to sea that day. After all, a fishing boat is a fishing boat, and the noise is a bit too loud, but other than that, everything was fine. Following the map pointed out by the old fisherman, Cui Jian arrived at a reef beach. At low tide, the reef beach is exposed for 10 square meters, and at high tide, it is completely submerged.
The good thing about this location is that when the tide is low, the water depth is 2 to 3 meters, and there are many coral reefs on the seabed, which has good resources. However, the area around is not large, with a radius of about 15 meters, and the cliff-like depth of 15 meters is far away. For people who don't dive often, diving more than 2 meters will obviously feel pain in both ears. 3- meters is Cui Jian's favorite depth.
After the boat dropped anchor near the reef beach, Cui Jian put on diving goggles and swimming trunks and jumped into the sea to search the seabed. There were crabs and fish, not abundant, but enough to keep himself warm and have fun. In some island countries in the South Pacific, you can catch big lobsters under the reefs by the sea, but there are obviously no such good resources in the waters around Hancheng.
One of Cui Jian’s favorite things to do when he goes out to sea is to turn off all the lights at night and lie on the boat or island to look at the stars. Every time he looks up, he feels his own insignificance and remains humble about the vastness of the universe.
The next day, lunch was grilled yellowfin bream and a variety of fish. We drove the boat to the coral reef about 10 meters deep to fish for small fish. Even the experienced fishermen might not be able to name all the fish we caught. There were all kinds of strange-looking fish.
After lunch, Cui Jian, the man in swimming trunks, sailed back home. In the evening, he cooked a sumptuous meal with the shellfish, flower crabs, shrimps and fish he brought back. Cui Jian himself did not like to eat river fish, and basically only ate sea fish, because sea fish did not have the earthy smell, and sea fish had fewer bones. This seemed to suit Ye Rannuo's taste. Although they were all small fish and crabs, and the dishes did not look good, they tasted really delicious.
Ye Rannuo wondered why there was a seafood dinner tonight, but she already knew Cui Jian's bad temper, and as someone who was being ignored, she wisely did not ask.
……
The next day was the start date, and Cui Jian drove to the agreed location, which was Xue Bing's home. Xue Bing's villa was in Dongshui Community, the villa community where the movie star lived, but Xue Bing's residence was higher and in a good location, facing the lake and backing the city, and he could see the city night view from home, so the relative price was naturally much higher.
The iron gate of the villa was closed, and a brand new Hayes van was parked at the door. Cui Jian pulled over in front of it. After getting out of the car, he did not ring the doorbell, but waited outside the gate while looking at the scenery.
"Hello!" Cui Jian answered the phone.
Duanmu: "Come in for tea, not so fast."
Cui Jian: “No.”
Cui Jian hung up the phone and looked inside the villa. It was ordinary, with a large yard, lawn, road, large three-story villa, and a large backyard. He saw Xue Bing standing in front of the French window on the third floor. She looked at the city, swept her hair out of her clothes, and stared blankly for a while before turning away.
A medium-sized truck and a van drove up to the iron gate, and several workers got out. After ringing the doorbell, they drove into the villa and started working in the front yard.
After waiting for another ten minutes, a seven-seater commercial vehicle drove out from the side of the main building and stopped beside Cui Jian through the iron gate. The driver's window was lowered, and Duanmu threw the van key to Cui Jian: "The location has been sent to the APP group chat system."
"OK." The car drove past Cui Jian, and the next second Cui Jian met Xue Bing's eyes. His cold eyes made people feel pity for him, but also made people feel difficult to approach.
Cui Jian placed his backpack on the passenger seat, started the van, put the intercom on the central control, and debugged: "Call 01."
Duanmu: "01 received, have you received the equipment?"
Cui Jian: “I received it yesterday afternoon.”
Duanmu: "Okay."
The two cars entered the highway one after the other, drove out of Hancheng, and turned onto the city expressway. Cui Jian's car always kept a distance of four to five cars from the car in front. I remember Che Wei said that this was a method of detecting and tracking vehicles, but Cui Jian didn't remember how to detect the tracking vehicle through this method.
Unlike urban roads, highways and expressways are one-way and basically have only one lane. If you don't accelerate or decelerate, it is difficult to detect tracking vehicles.
However, the risk of today's work mainly comes from Xue Bing's relatives. The possibility of relatives hiring someone to kill someone cannot be ruled out, but the probability is small because there are too many relatives with the same inheritance rights.
Xue Bing was an illegitimate child. Two months after returning to the Xue family, she encountered a great change. Her father, stepmother, brothers and sisters, grandparents were all dead. Her relatives were mainly the brothers of her father and stepmother. Her father's side was not so bad. Although she had many brothers and sisters, half of them were respectable people, and some of them were wealthy. Her stepmother's side not only had many brothers and sisters, but 7% of them had criminal records.
This is also due to the fact that the stepmother started the human rights business at a young age, and then brought her brothers and sisters into the business. If you often walk by the river, there are always a few who go to jail.
In addition, Xue Bing was a member of the Xue family, so his paternal relatives were quite tolerant of Xue Bing inheriting all the estates. But his maternal relatives were the opposite, and they wanted to tear the 18-year-old Xue Bing to pieces on the spot. After all, Xue's stepmother had a higher status in the family than Xue's father, and she could not accept the fact that her illegitimate son had obtained all the property.
The vehicle did not enter Seoul. It got off the ramp when it was about to reach Seoul. The first place of worship was in the suburbs of Seoul, a public cemetery near the Xue family's old house. All six members of the Xue family were buried there.
South Korea chooses Qingming Festival to commemorate the dead, rather than the anniversary of the death, so there are almost no people in the cemetery. The vehicle drove in the cemetery for a while and stopped by the side. Xue Bing, Bai Qi and Duanmu got out of the car. Cui Jian parked the van behind the commercial vehicle, opened the trunk and got out.
Xue Bing, accompanied by Bai Qi, carried six bundles of flowers in the van and walked towards the cemetery. Cui Jian was going to follow him, but he saw the administrator driving a balance bike, pointing at Cui Jian with a mobile phone in his hand, and yelling in dissatisfaction: "You can't park here, park your car in the parking lot." This road is not wide, and you definitely can't park during Qingming Festival. Not allowing parking now seems to be a deliberate embarrassment.
If it was Bai Qi who stayed at the scene, the administrator would have made a fortune today. But the one who stayed at the scene was poor Cui Jian. Cui Jian took over the host: "Who are you? Please show me your ID. Why are you staying in the cemetery? Where do you live? Who is in your family?"
Just as the administrator was confused by his question, Cui Jian stepped forward and grabbed the administrator's left hand, turning the phone in his left hand over, and saw that the phone was connecting to a video, and the person he was connecting to was called Shangshan Ruoshui. Cui Jian closed the connection, exerted force with his hands, and knocked the administrator to the ground with arm wrestling: "Who are you filming?"
"Let me go, you bastard." The administrator cursed.
Originally, Cui Jian would not have gone further, after all, going further might be illegal. But today, Cui Jian went one step further, and used more force, and the administrator nearly broke his wrist. The administrator howled and hurriedly said, "Someone asked me to take the photo."
Cui Jian let go of the administrator: "Who is it?"
The administrator replied: "Someone came to the cemetery the day before yesterday and asked me to contact him if anyone came to the cemetery to pay respects today. It would be best if I could take a video."
Cui Jian asked: "What does that person look like?"
Administrator: "Male, short, wearing a mask, with a tattoo on his left wrist."
Cui Jian: “You can go now.” He threw the phone at the administrator.
Cui Jian pulled out the walkie-talkie from his left shoulder. The administrator got up from the ground, muttered something nasty, got on the balance bike and left.
Cui Jian: "Call 01."
Duanmu: "01 received, what's going on?" Duanmu thought that Cui Jian would just ignore the administrator, but he didn't expect to hear a scream. He turned around and saw the administrator being knocked down by Cui Jian.
Cui Jian: "Someone contacted the administrator and asked him to keep an eye on this cemetery today."
Duanmu's tone immediately became a little nervous: "Who is it?"
Cui Jian: "Speaks Korean, has a tattoo on his left wrist, is not tall, and wears a mask." He has leaned against a pine tree by the road. The situation is unclear now. What if a car comes? If the person getting off the car is a relative, I can't pull out my gun. If the person getting off the car is a killer, there will be a hail of bullets as soon as they meet. So I have to find a place to hide and see the situation clearly before considering whether to leave the shelter.
As for Xue Bing, with Duanmu around, he won't suffer any immediate loss, and the man named Bai Qi is not an ordinary person either.
Duanmu: "If it was a killer, he would have been lying in wait nearby instead of tipping off the administrator."
Cui Jian: "I am more worried about the local hooligans. Doesn't the data say that the mother clan has more malice towards Xue Bing? Many people in the mother clan have been in prison, so it is easy for them to get entangled in a group. We have regulations for shooting. When facing unarmed people, we can only shoot to intimidate them, and at most we can only injure them."
Duanmu was watching Xue Bing from more than ten meters away. Xue Bing was offering flowers. She stood for a while after offering the flowers. She stood in front of some tombstones for a longer time, but in front of some tombstones, she put down the flowers and left.
Duanmu asked: "What do you think?"
Cui Jian: "How long will it take over there?"
Duanmu: "About three to five minutes."
Cui Jian: "Is this how you deal with it?"
Duanmu: "That's right."
Cui Jian: "Forget it. Even if we can gather a group of people in five minutes, they won't be able to get here."
Duanmu: "So we should be careful about the second worship site."
Cui Jian: "Do you want me to go over and take a look first?"
Duanmu: "I'm not sure if they will also place offerings, or just send flowers. When we leave later, we will keep some distance, and you can go to the second worship site first to check it out."
Cui Jian: “Okay.”
……
The second worship site was in the mountains of a deserted village. After driving to the designated location, Cui Jian saw no one around. He observed for a while and reported on the intercom: "Calling 01."
Duanmu: "Please speak."
Cui Jian: “Safe.”
Duanmu: "Received."
Ten minutes later, the business car arrived at the foot of the mountain and met Cui Jian. Bai Qi said, "Take everything."
There were a lot of things, more than a dozen food boxes alone, plus flowers and sake, it was difficult for three men to carry them all. Xue Bing was not arrogant, and took the initiative to hold a large bunch of lilies and a basket of sake.
Bai Qi had obviously been to the cemetery before, and led the way up the mountain. The road up the mountain was a dirt road dug with a hoe. It rained a little last night, and it was extremely slippery and muddy. After walking for a few minutes, the shoes were filled with yellow mud. The mountain was steep, and there was no way to grab the small trees on the side of the road. Xue Bing slipped and was about to fall, but a chest came up from behind and pressed against her back, like a wall to help her stabilize her body.
The breath on her ears and the solid chest gave Xue Bing a special sense of security. But she immediately thought of Ye Rannuo, walked forward two steps and looked back at Cui Jian: "Thank you."
Cui Jian nodded to indicate that it was okay.
The climb to the top of the hill was not the end. The four of them continued to walk forward, and graves began to appear on both sides of the path. From the perspective of Feng Shui, this mountain area has good Feng Shui, with mountains to lean on, water to see, and pine forests to protect it.
After walking along the path for about ten minutes, we finally arrived at the grave of Xue Bing's biological mother. Walking along the deserted road to the grave, everyone placed the offerings outside the enclosure. Bai Qi took out a knife and handed it to Cui Jian, who stuffed the knife into Duanmu's pocket. Duanmu looked at Cui Jian for three seconds, then reluctantly joined Bai Qi in cutting down the small trees around the grave. Cui Jian helped Xue Bing arrange the offerings, placing all the items in more than a dozen baskets in front of the grave.
There was a photo of a young woman on the tombstone. She was very beautiful and her features were 50% similar to Xue Bing. Xue Bing stroked the photo with his hand for a long time and then sat on the ground, leaning gently on the tombstone like a baby. Although there were tears in his eyes, there was a happy smile on his face.
