Chapter 114 Conspiracy versus Conspiracy (Part 2)
Zhou Rui's eyelids have been twitching lately, which makes him feel bad.
During this period of time, he actually never gave up investigating the person who was secretly extorting money, but the other party didn't press hard enough. Zhou Rui was afraid of angering the other party, so the investigation was not so aggressive. It was more about observation, analysis, and recalling the times he had offended.
Anyone who understands all possible event correlations is basically still at the level of information analysis.
The most questionable among them is Jiang Changye - Yilit, Bai Er, Shan Jie, antique shop owner, and past grudges. There is an invisible clue in all this, and Zhou Rui can naturally detect it with his experience.
He couldn't be sure that it was exactly what Tian Siruo said about Lao Tuoke - if Jiang Changye was the blackmailer behind it, there was no reason for him to do nothing.
And if he wants to avenge Lao Tuoke, besides overturning the case, the easiest way is to release the video of the conversation between Zhou Qiu and Yi Lit, or to increase the bargaining chips for blackmail.
But none of this happened.
But Zhou Rui also came back to his senses.
If it is really Jiang Changye, and he has not thrown out the information to avenge Lao Tuoke now, it does not mean that he will not do it in the future.
Maybe he was just waiting for a good time.
This made Zhou Rui even more uneasy.
I was thinking about it at the moment when the phone on my desk rang.
Zhou Rui answered the phone: "It's me, who is it?"
A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, Director Zhou."
Zhou Rui's heart skipped a beat: "I already gave you the five thousand last time. Three months have not come yet. What do you mean?"
Jiang Changye smiled cheerfully and said: "Don't be so nervous, Director Zhou. The call may not necessarily be about asking for money, it could be about other things. I know you haven't been very steady these past few months. After all, whether you are being called
Anyone who accumulates such information will not be able to sleep well. Let me give you a suggestion. Fifty thousand meritorious service, one-time buyout. How about that?"
Zhou Rui sneered: "Why should I believe you?"
"Business in person. I'll give you the video, and we can make a contract to ensure that I give you the only piece of evidence, leaving nothing behind."
"I do not believe you."
"Do you have a choice?"
Zhou Rui was silent.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "The contract is not safe enough, so add the truth ritual."
"Okay, you are responsible for the plan. You can choose the time and place. When the time comes, you will do it as you say, okay? I have no other purpose. I just need money urgently recently. After this transaction, you will
Don’t worry about me asking you for any favors anymore. But you have to do it quickly, I don’t have that much time.”
"Give me seven days to prepare."
Although Zhou Rui has a rich family, it is still not easy to come up with a huge sum of 50,000 merits in a short time. He needs to sell off his assets and then acquire merits, which does take time.
"Can."
"Is it still the law ointment this time?"
"No, this transfer will do."
"Transfer?" Zhou Rui was stunned.
Jiang Changye chuckled: "I told you, trade in person. Once you see who I am, you will feel more at ease."
"You want to kill me and silence me?" Zhou Rui blurted out instinctively.
"Don't be stupid, Mr. Director. You decide the time and place of the transaction. You can use short notice, change the location, etc., and you can bring as many people as you want, as long as you feel at ease. In this case, I will
It's funny that I can kill you." Jiang Changye said and hung up the phone.
Seven days later, Jiang Changye called Zhou Rui, and Zhou Rui said he would have to wait three days.
Jiang Changye said there was no problem.
He knew that Zhou Rui was worried and deliberately delayed, but it was true that he had no intention of killing people and silencing them this time, so he just let him do whatever he wanted.
After another three days, Zhou Rui finally decided to trade.
At 11 noon the next day, Jinhang Hotel, Room 401.
Zhou Rui brought a large number of people from the Public Security Department to the hotel and looked at the room at the end of the corridor. Zhou Rui said to his son: "Take someone to guard here. If I don't shout, don't go in. If someone else comes in, don't go in."
If there are too many, don’t question me."
Zhou Qiu nodded seriously.
Only then did Zhou Rui stride in.
Before coming, he had booked all the rooms on this floor. Along the way, he checked every room to make sure there were no outsiders before entering the room.
He also checked room 401 to confirm that there was no surveillance; he closed the curtains to ensure that he could not be seen in the building opposite; he then took out a set of defense devices to guard the place and made many preparations, and finally took out the materials that had been prepared long ago.
A ceremony was made.
Ritual of Truth.
After drawing the ceremony, Zhou Rui sat on the sofa and waited quietly.
The hour hand on the clock ticked until the twelve o'clock bell rang.
Zhou Qiu called: "Here we come."
Zhou Rui asked: "Who?"
"It's made into a zongzi. You can't see your face. Do you want me to open it?"
"No, let him in."
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Zhou Rui said: "Come in, the door is unlocked."
The door opened, and a man covered in a black burqa entered.
Entering the room, the other party slowly opened his mask. Looking at the other party's appearance, Zhou Rui was stunned: "Ghost?"
Xinglar walked to the truth ceremony, dropped a drop of blood, and chanted: "I swear to the truth with my life. What I say during this ceremony will be the truth, otherwise I am willing to bear all punishments."
As Xinglar started the ceremony, a large piece of golden light rose from the ceremony and spread all over Xinglar's body. Xinglar let out a painful groan.
Truth lie detection is not 100% effective, but when the other party actively acknowledges the ritual, it means it is definitely effective.
Therefore, the effect of the Ritual of Truth in lie detection in the Inquisition is far less effective than in this case. After all, the former does not need to cooperate.
At this moment, Xing Laer endured the heartbreaking pain and looked at Zhou Rui: "The ceremony is completed, can it begin?"
Zhou Rui's face darkened: "You are not the one who called me."
Xing Laer smiled: "That's not important, what's important is the transaction."
She took out the video: "This is the only one."
The Ritual of Truth was silent, which meant she was telling the truth.
Zhou Rui didn't move, just looked at Xing Laer: "Just because you tell the truth, it doesn't mean that the person behind you is telling the truth. If he lied to you, then this is still not the only one!"
"He and I also used a two-way truth ritual to prove it."
Seeing that there was no movement in the truth ceremony, Zhou Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What if I take action now?"
Xing Laer flipped his wrist and the video disappeared: "You can kill me, but you can't get it. Contract it, fifty thousand meritorious service, this is yours."
"Who is the mastermind behind you?"
"I can't lie, but I don't have to say it! Don't waste time asking questions that are impossible to answer, Mr. Director."
Zhou Rui took a deep breath: "Account."
Xing Lal handed him a note.
Zhou Rui looked at it and understood: "Your account? No wonder."
Stargate accounts are universal in all dimensions, but different racial civilizations have different prefixes, which can be clearly understood at a glance.
If it's a human race, you can trace your identity through the Stargate account, but if it's a ghost, it doesn't matter if you check it.
Xing Laer's words were concise and concise: "Contract."
Zhou Rui raised his hand, and a golden contract lit up.
The general idea is that after this transaction, traders, including those behind the scenes, are never allowed to mention it again.
The main restrictive party of the contract is still the contract object, and it has no binding force on the people behind the scenes. But if there is no evidence, then the problem is not big. What the contract guarantees is the smooth progress of this transaction.
Xing Laer glanced briefly, bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on it, and the golden contract turned into a golden light and poured into Xing Laer's body.
"Are you relieved?" Xing Laer smiled.
Zhou Rui didn't say anything. He waved his hand and a three-dimensional light screen appeared in front of him.
After quickly typing in, Xing Laer saw that 50,000 merit credits had appeared on his account.
She smiled slightly: "Director Zhou is really rich."
Zhou Rui stretched out his hand: "Something."
Xing Laer took out the video and handed it to him. Zhou Rui took a look at it and said, "Is this the only one?"
Xing Laer affirmed again: "This is the only one."
Click!
Zhou Rui crushed the video in his hand into pieces.
He stood up slowly, exuding an astonishing aura from all over his body: "A little Sequence 9 ghost dares to blackmail me!"
Xing Laer raised his eyebrows: "So, are you planning to take action?"
Zhou Rui clenched his iron fist tightly.
He wanted to take action.
The contract restricted her from speaking out about this matter, so catching her was also a credit.
But Zhou Rui knew better that since the other party dared to appear here, he must have someone to rely on.
But he was fully prepared and couldn't figure out what else the other party could rely on.
I hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether I should take action or not.
Xing Laer smiled disdainfully: "If you don't do it, I'll leave."
With that said, she put her veil back on and turned to leave.
Looking at Xing Laer's back, Zhou Rui was determined to take action.
But at this moment, a tyrannical force filled with the aura of death locked him behind him.
Is this...a Sequence 7 level deterrent?
Zhou Rui was shocked.
At that moment, his mood completely hit rock bottom.
No matter how strict your precautions are, so what? Facing Sequence 7, all defensive measures are like child's play!
At that moment, facing the pressure of a Sequence 7, Zhou Rui didn't even have the courage to look back.
At that moment, he even began to regret dismissing Tian Siruo. Without Tian Siruo, there would not even be a Sequence 7 soldier in the department. But having said that, even if she was not dismissed, this kind of thing would not be suitable for her to participate in, right? Thoughts were running through her mind, and her body was
Then he was as dumbfounded as a chicken.
At the end of the corridor, Zhou Qiu and a group of people watched as the man in black robe walked out.
