Chapter 128 Hu Ruonan

Tu Lanxun was stunned for half a second, then turned around to face Qianniu, and swept his elbow across Qianniu's chest. He was almost grabbed by the neck by Qianniu's eagle-claw-like hands, leaving several bleeding scratches on his neck. Qianniu, whose lungs and trachea were hit hard, leaned back and fell to the ground, and was stepped on by N.

Mu Xiaozhen and Bu Linlin rushed over. N was taking off the handcuffs at the back of his waist to secure Qianniu. All the ghosts in this area - including but not limited to Nanlu, the two evil spirits and Xianyu Qingyun - were restrained in place.

"One more minute." Bu Linlin glanced around, the rims of her glasses gleaming. "Who are your people?"

After Tu Lanxun pointed over, Bu Linlin arrested Nanlu and the two evil spirits, and the remaining three good ghosts were looked at curiously. She first looked up and down at Mikhail's muscles, nodded to Xian Yu Qingyun, and came to Lu Jiasui, "It's you." Bu Linlin said happily.

"You were one of the victims of the family massacre in the development zone. I've seen your photo in the file," Bu Linlin said with a smile, pointing at Qianniu, who was lying on the ground with a soundproofing hood on his head. "Now you've gotten your revenge."

Lu Jiasui responded with a few words, and the two chatted lively. Meanwhile, Mu Xiaozhen came over. The short, plump old lady had a kind face and said, "Xiao Tu, you're already this old. Do you still remember me?"

Tu Lanxun quickly smiled and nodded, fearing that the other party would say something like "I held you in my arms when you were a child."

There is one more important thing.

Tu Lanxun originally wanted to go to the young policeman and transfer N out, but Mu Xiaozhen and Bu Linlin did not give him any chance. The former was in the middle of a conversation, while the latter took Tu Lanxun's hand and said that she wanted to study the person who could extract the soul core.

But the strange thing was that neither of them expressed any opinion about the young policeman who looked abnormal at first glance, not a word.

Just like that, the field control device was taken away, leaving only Qianniu, tied up like a dumpling but still refusing to behave. Finally, officers from Bapan Town, who were on standby at the nearby farmers' market, arrived, and Qianniu was escorted to a car by Tu Lanxun and the others.

"How are Captain Li and the others?" Tu Lanxun took a sip of mineral water and applied iodine to his neck while holding up his phone. "And Director Wen."

Since Qianniu is on her side, the mountains are not so dangerous and she can breathe a sigh of relief.

"They're fine." Bu Linlin fiddled with the cage containing the three ghosts. "Li Ao and the others have found Wen Chong and are on their way back. You'll see them in an hour."

Tu Lanxun completely relaxed. Bapan Town was small, and they arrived at the town police station in no time. The police officer escorting Qianniu and Mu Xiaozhen got out first, followed by Bu Linlin. She glanced back at him with a smile. Only Tu Lanxun and the young police officer were left in the car. "Hurry up!"

Bu Linlin walked away. The young police officer, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke, making a sound like "N", "She knows."

"What do you know? You might not know you are you." Tu Lanxun wrapped the cotton swab in a tissue, intending to throw it away later. "Get off him quickly."

N said nothing, and silently turned into a gust of wind that blew towards Tu Lanxun, went into the silver chain, and curled up in his pocket, feeling slightly cold.

The young officer finally regained consciousness, gazing dazedly at the blue-tinted ox. Depending on the depth of the spirit's possession, a person might have no memory of the period, or retain superficial memories that felt unreal. The young officer clearly fell into the latter category.

"Just now... I did so many things..." The young police officer seemed to be hungover and couldn't believe it. "Am I really that good?"

Tu Lanxun neither admitted nor denied it. "Get out of the car. The fugitive still needs to be interrogated. It's normal for unexpected things to happen. There's no need to delve into it."

The young police officer was half asleep and half awake: "Oh, oh. Let's go quickly then."

But judging by the almost intoxicated expression on his face, he probably truly believed his fighting skills were divinely enhanced. Before the young officer began to gloat, Tu Lanxun offered a timely warning: "If you're struggling to keep up with your fighting skills, try sparring with others instead. Don't rush into using them on criminals."

The young police officer nodded, looking forward to it. "Hey, I'm going to the training ground this afternoon to try and bully the weak."

Tu Lanxun gave him a sympathetic look.

Qianniu was not immediately interrogated, but instead detained in a makeshift interrogation room in Mu Town, designed to protect both humans and ghosts. He was forbidden from communicating with anyone, including the on-duty police officer. He would occasionally flash a fierce look into the one-way mirror.

Tu Lanxun was sitting in the observation room, feeling bored. He turned to Bu Linlin and asked, "How many times would he be shot for all the crimes he committed?"

Bu Linlin wasn't the core investigator in the Tianguo Group case, but she was well-informed, as expected. She laughed, "I can't stop a whole bunch of them."

Wen Chong and Li Ao arrived at this time. The door was pushed open and Wen Chong's voice came from behind: "What do you mean by a shuttle?"

Seeing the two men returning with their team, Tu Lanxun stood up and asked, "What happened before?"

It turned out that Wen Chong and Li Ao had not encountered any danger from the Tianguo Group. The day before yesterday, Wen Chong went to Bapan Town to search and found no trace of Dong Tianlong, so he chose to go into the mountains to look for him.

Led by a local guide, the journey into the mountains was relatively easy. However, just as the satellite coordinates reached the first plate, the guide suddenly disappeared. Wen Chong and the others had no choice but to suspend their search and look for the guide first.

"Missing?" Tu Lanxun was slightly surprised.

Wen Chong pulled out a stool and sat down. "At first, we thought there were wild beasts in Badapan Mountain. Later, we suspected that the guide had been bribed by the Heavenly Kingdom Group. Up until the guide disappeared, our contact with the outside world hadn't been completely severed. But guess what? Both of these assumptions were wrong."

"So he wasn't taken away by a wolf, nor was he bribed by the Heavenly Kingdom Group. He's just simply...unprofessional?"

"How can they be unprofessional? They're incredibly dedicated." Li Ao waved his hand. "Guess where they came from when we ran into Director Wen?"

Tu Lanxun shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Li Ao gave the bombshell answer: "Ancient Tombs!"

Hidden within the Badapan Mountains lies a nearly thousand-year-old tomb complex, comprising dozens of chambers. It's believed to be the family tombs of a prominent ancient family. Over the millennia, the tombs have collapsed and been repeatedly buried by lush forests and animal tracks, leaving them looking like ordinary mountain terrain.

"A family tomb. This family has been around for nearly three hundred years, with nearly every generation having people in government. They probably didn't hold high positions, certainly not the highest of the highest officials." Wen Chong pinched the mineral water bottle, "But they made a lot of money."

There are dozens of ancient tombs, among which most of the silk and silk burial objects have decayed, but the gold, bronze, jade and various treasures are still there. This wealth is sealed in the mountains and no one knows about it.

Apart from the indigenous mountain people who frequently go in and out of the mountains, the guide's family and his uncle's family all learned this secret from his grandfather.

So although the two mountain families moved out of Badapan Mountain, they started an irregular tomb-robbing business. The two families made three rules and kept the secret within the two doors, not telling anyone else, and it did not cause any conflicts.

Maybe there are so many ancient tombs that it seems impossible to develop them all, and this money is enough for them to use for several lifetimes.

They also had no intention of moving to a big city to enjoy a better life - they couldn't sleep if they didn't stay near the tombs!

So when the guide's many roundabout conversations were of no use, and Wen Chong and the others finally arrived at the first bend of the mountain, nine hundred meters away from the tombs, the guide panicked.

He didn't dare to kill them to silence them, nor could he force Wen Chong and the others to return, as they were officials. So this honest man took the opportunity of going to the toilet to escape and headed straight to Bapan Town to discuss countermeasures with his father and uncle's family.

Now the two families who opened graves and robbed tombs were also invited into the police station and locked up in the big room next to Qianniu. The one at the end with a big scratch mark on his face was the unlucky guide, and the one next to him with his hands covered was his father.

"The signal interruption is related to the tomb complex," Wen Chong said. "It might be a site left behind by generations of ghosts, undisturbed deep in the mountains. But they're no longer there."

Tu Lanxun raised his head and said, "Anyway, can we bring Dong Yijian to trial now?"

Li Ao smiled and said, "Two parallel lines? Great."

Dong Yijian was once again taken into the interrogation room by Lucheng police.

The person in charge of the interrogation this time was the head of the special task force appointed by the Provincial Department of East Province, a police officer with the same surname Li. Although he was nominally a relative of Li Ao, he was two years younger than Li Ao and more gentle and refined.

In the camera, Team Leader Li's gentle posture when he first sat down made him look more like a scholar than a policeman. But after a few words, Tu Lanxun and other backup personnel who were watching the two interrogations at the same time realized that Team Leader Li was more suitable to deal with Dong Yijian than the upright and strict Li Ao.

Dong Yijian sat in the interrogation chair and smiled indifferently: "Hello, officer."

Team Leader Li didn't respond. As usual, he asked Dong Yijian's name, age, registered residence, and address. After two full minutes of silence, he simply said, "Dong Yijian, the results of the Deshi Hospital organ transplant case have been revealed. The primary suspect was once a teacher and student at the university. Do you have anything to say?"

No one expected Team Leader Li to repeat his old tune. The Deshi organ transplant case had been placed on the pending list, with the chain of evidence questionable. Further investigation would need to wait until the Tianguo Group case was fully solved. What was his purpose in bringing it up now?

Dong Yijian looked confused. "Oh, I have a lot of students, but I should be able to guess which one you are talking about."

"Hu Ruonan."

"Yes."

"Hu Ruonan is actually quite similar to Wu Qingchu, but they serve different people. His life isn't very good, but it's better than Wu Qingchu's."

"What do you mean?"

Team leader Li said something strange: "Dong Tianlong is your son, right?"

Dong Yijian looked at Team Leader Li and didn't answer this stupid question.

Team Leader Li smiled faintly and leaned forward slightly. "If you could switch, would you prefer Hu Ruonan to be Dong Tianlong?"

Dong Yijian paused and looked at Team Leader Li with extremely cold eyes, but in the end he said nothing. He leaned back and gave a sarcastic smile.

He intends to fight to the end.

Team Leader Li's psychological tactics changed for the third time. He crossed his legs, unscrewed the teacup and took a sip. Then he put it down leisurely and said casually, "As a father, you don't care. Where is Dong Tianlong now?"

"..." Dong Yijian kept silent.

Team Leader Li didn't care at all and smiled, "If we meet later, do you think he will resent your incompetence?"

Dong Yijian stared over.

Team Leader Li tapped his teacup with his fingers. "You mistakenly assigned Qianniu to that mission instead of covering Dong Tianlong's escape, which led to the current situation." He tapped his temples. "You're still just being incompetent. Now I can tell you that Qianniu Huang and He Jiang's mission has completely failed, both within and without planning."

Dong Yijian's expression suddenly changed.
