Chapter 230 Inference

Fortunately, Qin Yi quickly withdrew his hand, handed the pottery shard in his hand to Su Tong, and changed the subject:

“I didn’t expect the test at Tiger Back Ridge to be so extreme.”

Su Tong collected his thoughts, took the pottery shard and looked at it carefully. "In addition to the color, the pattern seems to be different from the one on Crow's Mouth Rock."

Then he said thoughtfully: "Crow's Mouth Rock is for cultural relic identification, Bluestone Village is for ancient porcelain fragment splicing, and there is also poison identification and mine clearance... This Master Peng is obviously selecting talents. What exactly does he want to do?"

Qin Yi pulled Su Tong to sit down next to the fire, added some firewood to the fire, and then said:

"The scope of smuggling by this group is very wide. Currently, the items that Zhou Yi has handled and that have been intercepted from outside are mostly various types of electronic products that evade tariffs and were brought into the mainland through channels such as Hong Kong and Macau.

Most of the items shipped out from the mainland are cultural relics and antiques, which is one of the reasons why Ma Liu can remain the second in command in the gang.

“So, what Master Peng said about making everyone rich this time… is still related to cultural relics. The party he mentioned is not a real party, otherwise there would be no need to set up such a comprehensive test that would even cost human lives.

He wants to find a team with real abilities. He needs these people to fight for him. The "wealth" he promised to make together must come at a very high price. "

Qin Yi nodded, broke off a large leg of the roasted snow chicken, handed it to Su Tong, and continued her words:

“So he chose Xiaoya Village as the location, which might be related to his ultimate goal. His so-called meeting might just be that he found a huge opportunity to make a fortune here.

But it would be difficult for him to get it by himself, so he did not hesitate to make such a big move, gathering all his subordinates here and selecting the most powerful ones to help him achieve his goal. "

Qin Yi handed Su Tong an enamel jug with heated water and watched her drink.

"So this area will be very chaotic and complicated in the future. We have to collect the pottery fragments as soon as possible and go to Xiaoya Village to participate in the next step to avoid greater trouble."

Su Tong nodded, "Yes."

These five villages must have been crowded with gangsters from all over the place in the past few days, and the competition will only become more intense as time goes by.

Those who fail the test will target other gangs.

We are all in this mess, so no one will be polite to anyone else.

Scar Brother just now is relatively sensible. He still abides by the rules of the underworld and knows how to protect himself.

There are many people like Yang Fei who have no bottom line, no ability, and can only use dirty tricks.

That Mr. Peng only wants people with abilities, he doesn't care what abilities they have.

Here, robbing other thieves is a skill.

The two shared the roast chicken, packed up and rested for a while, and prepared to set off.

Su Tong asked Qin Yi, "Brother Yi, you were fighting one against many just now, and you used your legs many times. Did you feel anything unusual?"

Qin Yi shook his head, "No!"

Su Tong said: "I want to hear the truth! I am a doctor, I need to accurately diagnose your condition!"

Qin Yi looked at her helplessly, but Su Tong stared at him seriously.

"Alright! My legs feel a little heavy, not as flexible as usual, but against people like them, a few more won't be a problem!"

After saying that, he added, "This time it's all true!"

Su Tong looked at Qin Yi's serious answer and suddenly felt like laughing.

Qin Yi looked at her steadily and said:

"You can laugh if you want to, you don't have to hold it back!"

Su Tong couldn't hold it in any longer, she bent down and laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She didn't know why, but at that moment just now, she felt that Captain Qin, who had an overwhelming aura... was a little stunned!

…

The compass clearly pointed to the south, but the group of people just now were heading east.

Su Tong said: "Brother Yi, I have an idea."

"I agree!"

"What?"

Su Tong was surprised, "But...but I haven't said it yet!"

"You mean, we may have missed Mangpi Ridge when we were going downstream yesterday. This direction should be east to Black Water Stream. You want to go to Black Water Stream first."

"Yes! That's right!" Su Tong's eyes were bright.

The two immediately decided to head east to Heishuijian.

If we can go to Heishuijian to get the pottery shards first, and then return to Mangpiling to meet up with Lin Li and the others, we can save another day or two.

Su Tong was in a good mood. She felt relieved that Qin Yi could guess her thoughts.

Although it only took a little reasoning to reach this conclusion, it still made her excited.

There is a person who often agrees with you and can even easily guess what you are going to say. As soon as you have an idea, he will understand it. Once you have thought of the first step, he will know how to take the second and third steps...

This is not just a tacit understanding, but also a balance of power, a worthy opponent, and a mutual respect.

Qin Yi saw that Su Tong had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood, so he said as he walked:

"Since you are in such a good mood, why don't we guess what the test of Black Water Gorge is?"

"Okay!" Su Tong said.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Since you asked this, you must have an idea. How about I count to three and we say it out together! Let's see if we are the same!"

Qin Yi looked at her childish appearance, smiled and nodded.

Su Tong shouted:

"Three—two—one—"

"force--"

"force--"

The two answered in unison.

The answers were the same, and they smiled at each other again.

"Brother Yi! Did you also make this inference based on what Ge Baogen's father said?"

"Oh - that's not the case. Tell me your inference."

"Before he died, Ge Baogen's father kept saying he was blown to death or beaten to death. At the time, I thought he was talking nonsense, but when I heard that the test at Tiger Back Ridge was to cross a minefield, I understood what he meant by "killed by explosion".

It must be that their people were dragged away to serve as test subjects in the minefield. We all know the tests of the other villages. There were no tests such as fighting, so only the Black Water Stream was left."

"Also, I saw Chen Xin had a very solemn expression when he examined the bodies of the two men in Wushanao. When I asked him about it later, he said that the large bruises on the two men's bodies were caused by severe beatings, and they were not likely to be caused by those hooligans.

After a brief summary, we can infer what the test of Black Water Stream is. Obviously, the people who were looking for medicine for Baogen were unfortunately caught and sent to different villages to become victims of various tests. "

"Meticulous and smart!" Qin Yi commented.

"Brother Yi! How did you come to this conclusion?" Su Tong was curious.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "I think it's simpler than you think. I just put myself in Mr. Peng's shoes and thought about what kind of person I need to help me.

Crow's Mouth Rock and Bluestone Village both test professional knowledge, Mangpiling Ridge and Tiger Back Ridge test special skills, and Tiger Back Ridge should be a test of force. No matter what he wants to do, force is the foundation of a team. "

"sharp!"

Su Tong truly admired him, not only because his inferences were the same as hers, but also because of his overall perspective.

This is the difference between a team leader and a team member. The angles and starting points for considering issues are different.

As the two talked, their steps did not slow down. As they walked eastward, they could see more and more messy footprints, which gradually formed a road.

Going further, a valley appears in front of you, with cliffs on both sides and a mountain path in the middle, winding its way to the other end.

Qin Yi stopped and looked at Su Tong.

Su Tong understood what he meant. The snow at the entrance was heavily trampled, with messy and mottled footprints, obviously indicating that someone had stayed there.

If someone wants to cause trouble, this is a good place to be.
