Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 713: The Great Incident
Tang Xiu hurriedly left Zhang Xinyue's beauty salon and got out, and immediately asked after getting in the car, "Awu, tell me specifically about the situation. ”
Awu did not turn on the car but handed over a stack of documents, saying, “The method of the killers used in the four murder cases that happened in Shanghai last night is very cruel. A four-member team from the state Special Department involved in the incident was also killed. According to statistics, the total number of victims and victims is 16, and four killing sites are in the north, south, west, and east of Shanghai. ”
"Have there been similar cases before?" Tang Xiu asked with a deep frown.
“Yes, there have been three homicides in the past two days. "Mo Awu nodded. “One of them is a case with a savage beast we know, the Stygian Club killing agent, while the other two are similar to the case last night. I suspect that the real cause of these six murders must be from the same group of people, but I still can't figure out their motive. ”
Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and then pulled out his phone to call Li Xiaojie. What surprised him was that this man, who was a member of the national intelligence department, did not even know what was happening. However, he told Tang Xiu another matter. Several members of the Special Combat Forces secretly rushed to Shanghai.
"What is their purpose?" Tang Xiu touched his chin as a light mused in his eyes.
Mo Awu did not bother Tang Xiu, and only asked after Tang Xiu took out a cigarette and lit it, "So, where are we going now, Boss?"
"To Paradise Manor!" Said Tang Xiu. “I don't know if these criminal cases are related to Shanjenna or not, but the situation in Shanghai is very clear. Some downstream is going on here. It is impossible that all these incidents were unintentional. Thus, you will assign some people to remain hidden in Paradise Manor to ensure the safety of Shanjenna. ”
"Afirmative," replied Mo Awu.
Tang Xiu returned to Paradise Manor and went to meet Qin Shaoyang first to tell him about Zhang Xinya's decision. Afterwards, he went to a foreign-style building and saw a heavy container truck moving down the street. It had delivered the research equipment needed by Mo Yi.
“Shanjenna, you can't leave this building without my permission, there's something going on there right now. Shanghai is currently very dangerous, and I don't want any unexpected accidents to happen, ” Tang Xiu said directly to Shanjenna after he arrived.
“What danger?” Shanjenna's countenance changed slightly; she thought it was a murder agent sent by the Stygian Club to hunt her down again. It should be noted that the Darksoul Aroma was still on him, and if another killing agent came to Shanghai, they would definitely be able to trace the smell and find it here.
“There was a major incident and murder in Shanghai recently, and several people from the China Special Department were involved in those cases; even the military is said to have moved in as well. I still don't know the motive, so I'll stay here for a while. Also, I've assigned my men to live around him to protect your safety. ”
Shanjenna nodded with a serious expression. What Tang Xiu said to him was like an injection of a sedative that suppressed his fear. After all, he knew that Tang Xiu and his men were extremely formidable. If they could not protect him, then there would no longer be a safe place under the sky.
However, he was very curious about something. Who could be so bold as to commit such arbitrary killings in China? He knew a few things from this country and naturally knew that they would definitely meet a bad end against the entire country. Suddenly, his body trembled as he recalled something and hurriedly said, “I know something that might be useful to you, Sir. Odor . ”
"What's wrong?" Ask Tang Xiu.
“When I fled far away from Europe, I had no fixed route at all, then I accidentally found a business deal after half a month on the run. I don't know the specific details about the deal, but I do know it's related to a technology product that can be applied to weapons. When they talked about it, they said that they would come to Shanghai in the near future to make a transaction. ”
"Who's the other party?" Ask Tang Xiu immediately.
"I don't know. "Shanjenna shook her head. “I didn't notice at the time, I just remembered that there was a caucasian man named Austin Cole. That's right, he said that he has some ties in certain state-owned companies, and that he has full authority to make transactions and is willing to bear the consequences if things go wrong. ”
Tang Xiu turned his head towards Mo Awu and said, “Investigate this state-owned company and also the details of this Austin Cole person. ”
Mo Awu did not move, and after being silent for a while, he slowly said, “I think I know this SEO company, Boss. I also know this Austin Cole. The state-owned company is engaged in the pharmaceutical industry and dealing in drugs and medical equipment, but behind it is a very mysterious arms dealer company in Europe. Austin Cole is the third person in this SEO ranking and controls half of his armed forces. I have interacted with him in the past. He's a cruel man. ”
"So, he's an armed smuggler, but why did he come to China?" Tang Xiu frowned. "Could he want to do business here?"
“I don't know about that. "Mo Awu shook his head. “The members of this SEO company mostly remain in the dark, especially the three people above. They are the epitome of fox cheating, the vigilance and prudence of a rat, as well as the ferocity of a wolf. Very few people dared to provoke these people in Europe. ”
"Send our people to do an investigation on this Austin Cole, whether he really came to Shanghai," Tang Xiu said. “I am not someone from the government, but these people came to Shanghai and killed people here aimlessly. So I'll clean it up since I'm here. ”
"This matter may not be as simple as it seems, Boss," Mo Awu said. “If this is really the job of that SEO company, they should have a very big target, he said, otherwise they would not have easily come to China and they would not have chosen a big city like Shanghai as their destination. ”
"Do some research!" Said Tang Xiu. “We will discuss further after we get the result. ”
Tang Xiu then glanced at Shanjenna and said with a smile, "I'll give you a good gift if the people who did the killing in Shanghai are really from this SEO company like you said. ”
It caught Shanjenna's interest, as she asked curiously, "What gift is handsome?"
"If I tell you now and the results of the investigation turn out to be different from what you said, you will be disappointed," Tang Xiu said with a smile. “So I will make you look forward to it while waiting for the results of the investigation. In any case, working well with Professor Mo, my people will take care of security matters. ”
“Understanding!” Shanjenna shrugged and nodded.
Tang Xiu did not stay there for long. After going to Ouyang Lulu's residence, he immediately entered the room, his gaze sweeping over the gift box he received last night. He then walked over and opened the first gift box. He immediately began to see a pair of white jade pendants inside, and what surprised him was that the white jade contained spiritual qi within it.
"Eh, this is a magic tool?" After a momentary observation, the shocked expression on Tang Xiu's face turned even more intense.
He immediately opened the second gift box. Inside was a fist-style illustration manual, and it had to be around for years judging from the yellowed pages. After opening the third gift box, Tang Xiu's breath came to a slight halt as the well-preserved Millennium Ginseng was presented before him.
"This gift ..." Tang Xiu remembered Ji Mu's attitude and movements last night.
Although he was the owner of the Magnificent Tang Corporation as well as a member of the Beijing Tang Family, it was not enough to make Ji Mu spend so much money. One should know that this pair of white jade pendants could definitely be sold at a very high price to people who could judge fine objects. On the other hand, this 2,000-year-old wild ginseng was at least worth nine digits. Even fist style illustration manuals can be sold at great profit to people in the martial arts circles.
"What's the point?"
That thought filled Tang Xiu's mind as he slowly opened the fourth gift box, which was also the largest. When the item inside was presented before him, he was still shocked despite having seen many treasures before.
It was a zither made of white jade!
His body was thrown from white jade while the strings came from the tendons of the water dragon. The Fire Beads were embedded on the right side while the Water Beads were inlaid on the left. The zither body etched patterns and waves of spiritual power circulated throughout the body, giving it a dazzling aesthetic sense in itself.
“This is an invaluable beauty. ”
Tang Xiu furrowed his brows, and the puzzled expression on his face became even more intense.
After a long time, he dialed Ji Mu's cell number and directly spoke after he received his call, “Ji Mu, I have seen your gift. If you have time now, come to Paradise Manor, there are some things we need to discuss clearly. ”
"Did you like the gift I sent you, Brother Tang?" Ji Mu did not answer Tang Xiu but asked a question.
"Everything is great stuff, no one will hate them," Tang Xiu said.
“Then my goal was achieved, Brother Tang. "Ji Mu smiled. “You are someone who can appreciate good stuff, and maybe you can use it well. The articles will be useless if I keep them, so they are yours because I've given them to you. ”
"Just come here and have a chat with me," Tang Xiu said. “You can ask me one thing as long as it's not too demanding. ”
"…"
Ji Mu was silent. The goal is very simple. He only wanted to follow Tang Xiu and directly learn that unparalleled ability, but he didn't know if he should raise the matter now. It would be the same as a transaction if he did that, but all of his efforts to achieve his goal would be futile if the deal did not work out.
"Is there a problem?" Ask Tang Xiu.
"Just wait," said Ji Mu. “I took two hours to get there. ”
Tang Xiu hung up the phone and looked at the items in front of him, then picked up a one foot wide white jade zither. Back when he played in the opening ceremony at Shanghai University, he could definitely play more beautiful music if he had a white jade zither back then.
