Ran Feize rushed back to the nunnery. At this moment, everyone in the nunnery was busy. The officials picked up the corpses of the robbers, checked their appearance, and ran around to find the township chief to come over and identify the corpses to verify their identities. The disciples of the Mingxiu faction have gathered together, together with the abbot and others, to tell Qin Dezheng, Gu Xing and other officials about the hijacking of the temple.

Seeing Ran Feize rushing over, Qin De was busy to greet him, "I searched the nunnery inside and outside the nunnery, and there is no trace of Miss Su."

"What about the underground passage?"

Gu Xing hurriedly said: "I have just gone down and walked around, and there is no one hiding below." The people from the Mingxiu faction nodded, and they went down to check together.

Ran Feize frowned and asked the abbot, "Master, is there any other hiding place in this nunnery?"

The abbot shook his head: "No. And during this period of time, according to the girl's instructions, I locked all the underground passages, and no one could hide in it. Earlier, I led the officials and the heroines to go around for a round. The doors are locked and no one is inside."

Qin Dezheng said: "I have searched here carefully, even under the Buddha altar and under the beds in the cabinets in each house. It is true that Miss Su has never been seen. The thief must have taken her out." They also saw the tunnel, and some officials chased it out along the tunnel, and came back and reported it to him. Su Xiaopei was definitely kidnapped and taken out through the tunnel. Qin Dezheng has urgently ordered his subordinates to track down in that direction.

"He's still here, Xiaopei is still here." Ran Feize was very determined.

At this time, a disciple of the Xuanqing faction and a catcher ran back and shouted: "Master Ran." "Master Qin."

"There is a small road further down from the exit. We chased along the small road, and we got on the official road. After a while on the official road, there are three fork roads. The brothers chased in three ways, and I don't know how long they ran. .If there is news, it will be reported as soon as possible."

Ran Feize didn't speak, he also saw the small road, and he knew that he could even connect to the official road on the main road. He had seen the nearby terrain a long time ago, and it is reasonable to say that he should have captured people and ran away, but he did not find any traces, and fled with a big living person, how could he not leave a trace. And running with a person, in order not to attract attention, he must need a carriage. Before they patrolled around, they didn't find any big things like carriages. Du Chengming also knew that carriages were easy to be searched, and without a carriage, he would not find it. Good to go. So the safest way is that he still hides here, and when they all pack up the scene and leave, thinking that he has gone far and chased everywhere, and no one pays attention to this temple, he will take Su Xiaopei away again.

"I'll take a look at it next time," he said. The abbot quickly took out a bunch of keys to lead the way, Su Qin, Bai Yulang and others followed. Ran Feize walked a few steps, then turned back suddenly, and said to Qin Dezheng and the disciples of the Xuanqing School beside him: "It is impossible for him to dig these new tunnels by himself, so he must have found a craftsman. Ask the craftsman who built the temple for Ningfu An to ask. Ask, maybe I can find some clues." He paused, then thought: "Maybe I can't find it, if that's the case, I'm afraid they are dead."

Qin Dezheng understood the meaning, "I immediately sent people to investigate, and I should be able to find out something. We all sent people to block the way out. If Miss Su was still here, we wouldn't be able to teach her to be taken away by evil thieves."

Ran Feize looked at the people around him, nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Please, everything." Then he entered the Buddhist temple with the abbot and others, and walked in through the secret door behind the Buddha statue.

Su Xiaopei was looking at Du Chengming's smile at this time, listening to him say again, "I won this round."

Su Xiaopei blinked his eyes and said, "I don't believe it."

"Do not believe?"

"Did you say it's in your hands?"

Du Chengming laughed, "Xiao Pei, this is what's wrong with you. We are more accurate than strategy, than reading our minds, and who has someone's weakness. You see, we can't see what's going on outside, you say um If you change someone here, you will capture those robbers. Although I can't see it, I still believe it. You said that you arranged someone to protect Sima Wanru. Although I didn't see it, I believed it. Now I will go. Why don't you accept the account after you made a move?" He knocked on the table, "If you don't believe it, then it's no fun."

He smiled and asked Su Xiaopei, "Do you know what happened to Tang Lian afterward?"

Su Xiaopei didn't speak. She had inquired about Tang Lian when she was in Ning'an City.

"Jingci Temple. Dharma Name Meditation." Du Chengming said, Su Xiaopei looked at him quietly. He continued: "She is trying very hard to get rid of the shadow of the past and live the rest of her life. I heard that she is the most diligent and hard-working sister-in-law in the temple." Du Chengming said, stood up, walked to In the corner of the room, Su Xiaopei's eyes closely followed him. There was a wooden box in the corner of the house. Du Chengming opened the wooden box and turned to Su Xiaopei and smiled: "Come and see, I'm really worried that you won't believe it."

Su Xiaopei walked over, and before he even got there, he saw the person curled up and stuffed in the box. He was wearing a gray monk's robe, his head was bald, his face was scarred by blows, his eyes were closed, and he didn't move. Su Xiaopei's eyes were hot, and he rushed over: "Miss Tang."

It was indeed Tang Lian, like a dead Tang Lian.

Su Xiaopei reached out to touch Tang Lian's neck, and Du Chengming said, "She's alive, she can't die." If she died, what would he use as a bargaining chip? He wasn't stupid.

Su Xiaopei leaned over and pulled Tang Lian up, but Du Chengming didn't stop her. He watched her carry Tang Lian out, so that Tang Lian could stretch her limbs and sit against the box. Du Chengming sat back in the chair and looked at Su Xiaopeicha looking at Tang Lian's injury, he said, "No serious injury, don't worry, just give her some medicine so that she can be quiet."

Su Xiaopei turned his head and glared at him fiercely. Du Chengming laughed again. After laughing, he said, "She is the first person you met here, and the first person you helped. This girl is grateful to you in her heart. When my people went to find her, she heard that Luo Ping had escaped and wanted to harm you. She needed her help to identify and set a trap to lead Luo Ping out. You needed her help very much, so she agreed without hesitation and set off immediately. This girl, putting her own safety at risk, and wanting to help you, is really kind and righteous."

Su Xiaopei closed her eyes. She knew Du Chengming's intentions. He said this to emphasize that Tang Lian was not mean to her and was arrested because of her. If she ignored Tang Lian's life and death, she would be too cruel. Su Xiaopei opened his eyes and looked at the wound on Tang Lian's face again. She also had marks of being pinched on her neck. She thought that she suffered a lot from Du Chengming's hands.

"Tell me again, what do you want?" Su Xiaopei's voice was calm.

"You don't struggle and make noise, just follow me. You see, it's easy to do, isn't it?"

"Where are you going?"

"Go to a quiet place that no one knows about." Du Chengming looked at Su Xiaopei, "I know that Ran Feize will search the ends of the earth to find me, but don't worry, I have been here for more than ten years and have gathered a lot of contacts. There are also some secret hiding places, and a lot of money and silver. Ran Feize can't help me, we can hide for a while, and when I clean him up, I can go back to be my head catcher. And you, Su Xiaopei , I will be careful not to kill you, but I also hope that your endurance and psychological endurance are strong enough, so you don't get scared to death so easily. Give me a little more time to confirm from you whether you have come back to life. thing."

"It sounds really bad." Su Xiaopei said with a cold face, "You think you can dodge it? The strong man won't let you go, and won't fall for your trap. He also has many friends who will help him. "

"What to help him? Help him hunt down a person for whom he has no evidence to prove his guilt?" Du Chengming laughed again when he said this, "Jianghu is not so mad, there is no evidence, how can others help He can only do it himself and do it quietly, otherwise, someone will definitely uphold justice and condemn him for murdering the innocent, cold-blooded and murderous. At that time, it will be unknown who will be chasing whom. The assassins in the rivers and lakes, those who seek revenge, think they are in charge There are so many fair people, who knows who killed Ran Feize in the end, or it may be that he did not know who he provoked and was murdered, or it may be that he killed the innocent and angered the martial arts based on his own suspicion. Unfortunately, he died, and it won't take long for everyone to forget him. He has no relatives, no classmates, friends, this relationship is too weak, he will be forgotten, everyone will occasionally talk about it after tea, hey, do you remember that Ran Feize, I don't know why he lost his mind and caused a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes." Du Chengming said this and spread his hands. "And you, if you are still alive, you will stay in the prison I prepared for you. But I am impatient, and maybe I don't want to keep you if I can't think of any fun experiments, so you better be fun, You'd better be obedient and tell me everything I want to know, so you can suffer less."

"A strong man will screw your head off and feed the pigs."

"After he received your severed finger? Or after he received your leg?" Du Chengming clicked his tongue: "Actually, I also really want to see how much he can bear. That's what I wanted to do in the first place. Linger's suicide note, teach him to know that you are indeed dead, and then pretend to dig up your stump or something to see how he will behave. If his performance makes me satisfied, I will bring someone to play with him Play."

"When you were tortured, no one helped you, did you?" Su Xiaopei suddenly said with a sympathetic tone. "Who abused you? Your mother? How old were you then?"

Du Chengming's face sank suddenly.

"Does she have a mental problem? She ignores your pleas, and no one hears your cries, right? Or someone has helped you find the police. At most, the police will go to your house to take a look and ask. Just left, didn't you? This changed to more cruel treatment, didn't it? Single mother with young child, is it the policewoman to deal with this? What's your mother's disease? You are obsessed with psychology, Just because of this? You have been abused since you were a child, and you have a sadistic fantasy. You imagine that you are infinitely powerful, you can play with everyone, you will no longer be hungry, you will no longer be beaten and scolded, no If you are frightened again, in turn, you are the one who controls everything, who can torture and abuse others at will, right?"

Du Chengming jumped up suddenly, grabbed Su Xiaopei's neck, and pressed her against the wall.

"Guess, will I crush your neck as soon as I get excited?"

"I guess not. You don't want to kill me." Su Xiaopei stared into his eyes calmly, his breath was so close to her that she could feel his breath, but she didn't struggle to escape, she Staring straight at him, she knew that she couldn't show a hint of cowardice, Tang Lian's life was now in her hands. She wants to wait for Ran Feize to find her. She wants to save Tang Lian.

"You killed those policewomen?" she asked, and she saw Du Chengming's eyes flashing with excitement.

"You killed my father too?" God knew her heart was beating wildly and her palms were sweating, but her voice was still trying to be calm.

Du Chengming was even more excited. He opened himself slightly, his pupils enlarged, and his palms were so hard that she suddenly felt out of breath. He smiled and said: "I have seen a lot of the victim's family, but you are the most special one. You were only fourteen at that time. I saw you at your father's memorial service and cried like a little tearful person. At that time, I still felt bored. Like other women and children, they were annoying. But you are not. You actually took the psychology exam, and your grades were amazing. I saw your speech as a student representative. Well said, you are very beautiful, you speak confidently, and you are cold, very much like your father. At that time, I knew that I should pay attention to you. You will definitely be different from others. You are really different, You have been investigating your father's case, and you have persisted for so long. You are really a good daughter. You are tracking me down and trying to get closer to me step by step. I am really touched. There is an invisible line between me and you. The ties are tied together. But there is always a layer in the middle. You walk towards me, but you are blocked. I am really anxious. I have been looking for a chance to let you know me, but unfortunately, only a little bit. But in the end we meet here , Xiaopei, this is fate."

Su Xiaopei's face flushed red, Du Chengming let go of his hand a little, and she quickly took a deep breath. Du Chengming looked at her and said gently: "Your life is so fragile, just hold it in my hands."

Su Xiaopei didn't answer this, but asked, "Did you die in a car accident?"

Du Chengming raised his eyebrows: "You died in a car accident?"

Not a car accident. Su Xiaopei asked again, "You were killed by your accomplices in an infighting?"

Du Chengming chuckled: "Everyone, I control them very well."

Not murdered. "Died from illness?"

Du Chengming didn't answer, he turned his head suddenly, as if he was listening carefully, and then he smiled at Su Xiaopei: "You really bet right, your strong man is coming to you. It's not long since this hour passed, and he really is quite efficient."

Su Xiaopei couldn't hide his joy, but Du Chengming said, "Let's bet one more game. I bet he can't find you."

Su Xiaopei didn't speak. In fact, she couldn't speak because Du Chengming squeezed her neck again. Du Chengming's voice was low, and he said, "If you are yelling, he can hear it outside. However, look down and see that my foot is on Tang Lian's neck. She died. She came for you, Xiaopei. She later found out that she had been deceived. It turned out that she was not used to deceive Luo Ping, but to threaten you. What a pity. She has experienced those things before, and she finally entered Buddhism and can live a peaceful life, but now she is doing this for you."

Su Xiaopei couldn't breathe, and pursed the corners of his mouth. Du Chengming smiled at her, let go of her, let go of her completely.

He took a step back and stood beside Tang Lian. His feet were right next to Tang Lian's head, and he smiled at Su Xiaopei.

Su Xiaopei was free, she was able to run and shout, she heard someone talking outside, it was the abbot's voice: "We have checked the tunnel door locks before, and they are all locked well, the head here is not broken. Possibly hiding."

Then someone entered the room on the right, followed by Bai Yulang's voice: "Uncle Ran, there is no one in this room." After a while, someone in the room on the left also spoke: "There is no one in this room." Then came the abbot's Voice: "If it is really possible to hide people, this is the best place."

"There's no one here, we'll search elsewhere." This is what Bai Yulang said again.

Su Xiaopei stood there stiffly, she glared at Du Chengming's smile, she didn't shout. She suddenly understood why Du Chengming said that they couldn't find it, and why they couldn't find it even if they were by the side of the house, because the little house they were hiding in was separated from two houses. There is no such house on the secret road map at all, so they can't find it. If she doesn't cry out, they will leave, and the strong man will leave. But if she shouted, what about Tang Lian's life

"Wait." After a while, Ran Feize's voice was suddenly heard. Su Xiaopei's heart skipped a beat, he said "wait", what did he find

Du Chengming was still smiling, but his pen was a little stiff. He thought that the people outside were leaving, but unexpectedly there was "wait".

Su Xiaopei approached him slowly and asked in a low voice, "Do you still have a way out?"

Du Chengming asked back, "What advice do you have?"

"I think you must want to use me as a hostage to kill you."

"Xiao Pei. Are you there, Xiao Pei?" Ran Feize's loud shout suddenly came from outside.

Du Chengming smiled at Su Xiaopei: "I only have one person, and I can only take one hostage. I choose Tang Lian."

"She's not as useful as me, the strong man doesn't need to worry about her." Su Xiaopei's voice was very low, she knew that as long as Du Chengming flew at this moment, Tang Lian would die. And she was looking for a chance, just a chance.

"But you will manage, and he will listen to you." Du Chengming's voice was also lowered.

There was no sound outside. Du Chengming glanced in the direction of the wall and said softly, "He's gone." In fact, he wasn't sure, so he planned to leave too. There was a secret door on the other side, and he was going to take them to transfer from the secret door. a place. You can't just take Su Xiaopei and leave Tang Lian, she will definitely not cooperate and obey. He lowered his body and pulled Tang Lian up, but Su Xiaopei hugged her: "Wait, I took such a big risk for her, and my life is on the line, how can you prove that she can survive? She is dead anyway. Why should I?"

"When I get outside, I will only take you and leave her behind, and the officials will save her."

"She is in a coma, are you poisoned, she is like those robbers, and she will die at that time?"

"No. I'm not sure how long it will take with you, how could you poison her?"

Su Xiaopei stared at Du Chengming to confirm that he was telling the truth. She said, "I'll go with you on my back."

"You think I'm a fool?"

"I can't run fast with people behind my back, you don't have to worry about me escaping."

"That's right, you can't run fast behind people's backs, and you deliberately delay things that are bad for me."

"Anyway, they've already left, so what are you afraid of? Didn't you say that you wait here until the outsiders have withdrawn, and then take me out with a swagger?"

Du Chengming squinted slightly, took a step back, looked at Su Xiaopei's pitiful appearance of holding Tang Lian, and suddenly caught a glimpse of her secretly holding a dagger in her hand, he smiled and said, "Do you think you can beat me if you have a dagger?" Before he finished speaking, he felt two sharp pains in his chest and abdomen. He was startled and looked down subconsciously, two small dark darts pierced into his body. Taking advantage of the moment when he lowered his hair in a daze, Su Xiaopei dragged Tang Lian back quickly, tucked Tang Lian behind him, and shouted loudly, "Aze, Aze, I'm in the wall."

With a loud bang, the outer wall was broken, and a figure rushed in, raising his palms and grabbing Du Chengming.

Only then did Du Chengming realize that he was really careless, too careless. Su Xiaopei didn't know how to use martial arts. He didn't take her seriously, and didn't even search her for weapons. If she had stabbed him with a dagger, he would have defended him if she rushed over. He was much faster than her, but she was a sneak attack and had a hidden weapon.

Du Chengming ignored Ran Fize and slapped Su Xiaopei with a palm. Ran Feize was in a hurry, and the palm wind swept towards the table instead. The table flew to Du Chengming's palm and was smashed to pieces. Although Du Chengming's palm was blocked, Su Xiaopei was knocked to the ground, and Ran Feize jumped over and hugged her away. Taking advantage of this gap, Du Chengming flew over and grabbed Tang Lian. The long sword was drawn around her neck, and he stepped back with a savage smile. He kicked open a secret door and escorted Tang Lian back out.
