Chapter 638: The Killer in the Train
Is this a hand-drawn map?
It's simply a black and white photo with no added colors.
The map is viewed from the air, and the panorama is a large volume with dense woods and a temple and a stream.
The person who can draw such a map is definitely a master of painting, and his delicate mind can be seen in the paintings.
It's just a pity that the painting gives people a sense of flaw, as if he is not perfect.
Zhao Guoqing carefully discerned and raised his eyes to look at Stephen.
"Do you have any drawings you'd like to say?" Stephen asked.
Zhao Guoqing said in a deep voice: "This map is somewhat missing, it is not a complete map. He pointed to the right edge of the map and said, "This should have been cut by Leigh, and there is another map." ”
"You saw it so quickly?" Stephen asked with a look of surprise, then sighed faintly and said, "The map is indeed missing a part, and I only discovered it a week after I got it." It's a pity.. My grandmother died suddenly, otherwise she might have told me where the other half of the map was. ”
"So you don't know where the other half of the maps are?" Zhao Guoqing asked suspiciously.
Stephen nodded in response, "I know you might suspect that I hid the other part, but I would have been so suspicious, but unfortunately I don't have the other half of the map in my hand." His voice paused slightly, his eyes swept over the crowd, and he continued, "If you don't believe it, you can search it, anyway, my salute and people are here, and if there is a map, it will definitely be here." ”
Everyone looked at Zhao Guoqing, as long as Zhao Guoqing gave an order, they would immediately pounce on Stephen's clothes and conduct a thorough search, including the salute that Stephen was carrying.
This guy actually hid the map in his grandmother's ashes, and it is conceivable that the other half of the map must have been hidden very secretly if it was really on him.
Zhao Guoqing did not give the order to search, but stared at Stephen for a moment, folded the map and handed it to Stephen and said, "I believe you." ”
Stephen was slightly stunned and replied gratefully, "Thank you." ”
Zhao Guoqing's attitude changed, and he asked with a straight face: "If you don't have a complete map, do you think I can find what your grandfather left behind?" ”
Stephen was stunned again, and then said with a relieved face: "Do your best." At least we're going to find the places shown on this map, and if we can't find them, I won't bother you. After a pause, he continued, "How about we limit ourselves to seven days?" If you can help me find the place on the map, then if we can't find anything within seven days, then your mission is completed, and I will pay all the commissions according to the contract. What do you think? ”
It's a reasonable deal.
Regardless of whether the treasure is found in the end or not, it only takes a few days for the hunter mercenary group to earn a good commission.
Of course, the deal was definitely not as easy as it could have been.
Father Stephen offended many enemies while he was alive, and even now there are some who have not given up on the hunt for him and his descendants.
What's more, the attraction of the treasure is just too great.
It is believed that in the next few days, mysterious enemies will continue to attack, and all they hope for is nothing more than the treasure left by Fuji Taiyo.
In addition, Zhao Guoqing has not forgotten the real purpose of his coming to the island country.
Find the Koga ninja and use this line to find the mastermind behind the Water Drop Project, cut off this hand and completely smash the Water Drop Project.
This task is far more difficult than protecting Stephen and finding the so-called treasure.
"Now our priority is to find out where the places on the map are." Susan preached.
Danny immediately said, "I can scan the map and use the satellites to find places that are similar to them. As he spoke, he held out his hand to Stephen.
Without any hesitation, Stephen immediately handed over the map and said, "I hope this trick works." ”
Danny took out his laptop to connect it to his phone, took a picture of the map, and hacked it into the island's satellite, which scanned the entire island to find similar locations.
Ten minutes later, Danny exclaimed excitedly, "Found it." As he spoke, he turned the monitor to the crowd and said, "In the mountains of southern Shiga Prefecture, there is a mountain that is very similar to the one shown on the map, and it should be here." ”
"Southern Shiga Prefecture." Zhao Guoqing muttered in a low voice, knowing in his heart that the southern part of Shiga Prefecture was the birthplace of the ancient Koga ninjas.
Stephen also exclaimed excitedly at this time, "I heard my grandmother say that my Shiga Prefecture is where my grandfather was born, and it is there that the two met, and my grandfather is very likely to stay there if he wants to leave anything." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhao Guoqing and exclaimed happily, "Great, we should go to Shiga Prefecture!" ”
Zhao Guoqing nodded, this is also the place he wants to go, if there is no Stephen's appearance, then the first place for him to arrive in the island country is Shiga County.
Located in the middle of the island archipelago, Shiga Prefecture is bordered by Mie Prefecture in the southeast, Kyoto Prefecture in the west, Fukui Prefecture in the northwest, and Gifu Prefecture in the northeast.
Zhao Guoqing and the others divided into two routes, with Danny, Susan and others driving the two exposed commercial vehicles to Shiga Prefecture, and the Jungle Cote disguised as Stephen to attract the attention of potential enemies; Zhao Guoqing took the high-speed train, which was faster and more convenient, and was not easy to be discovered by the enemy.
Zhao Guoqing and Danny carried a very simple salute, except for the necessary documents and money, Stephen only carried his grandmother's urn, and Zhao Guoqing did not take any weapons except a pistol and throwing knives.
In addition, the two also changed their clothes into kimonos, and tried their best to penetrate the island people and make them unobtrusive.
Perhaps because he came to the island country for the first time, and was heading to the priest's birthplace, Stephen seemed very excited along the way, looking out of the car from time to time, and kept nagging the historical allusions of the places he visited, as if he had become an island country.
Zhao Guoqing kept his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep, but in fact, he was secretly paying attention to every move and any subtle changes around him.
The first hour of boarding the high-speed train was very normal, but after an hour, Zhao Guoqing suddenly opened his eyes and scanned the carriage coldly.
I don't know when it began, the number of people in the carriage has changed from crowded at the beginning to sparse now.
Directly across from Zhao Guoqing and Stephen sat a man in uniform holding a comic, who looked like a high school student with a cute Liuhai.
A few meters to the right of the high school student sits a bald old man, who seems to be asleep with his hands in his arms, and has a faint smell of alcohol, looking like a drunkard.
Diagonally opposite the drunkard, that is, to the left of Zhao Guoqing, sat a mother and son, the child looked seven or eight years old, wearing a yellow hat, and from time to time stretched out his hand to the car window, and the mother had a happy smile on her face.
On the right side of Zhao Guoqing, two seats apart, sat a lewd uncle, looking like forty or fifty, his eyes never took off the chest of a sleeping young girl on the opposite chair, and he also showed an evil smile from time to time.
With the addition of Zhao Guoqing and Stephen, there were only eight people left in the entire carriage, and the others didn't know where to go.
Seeing Zhao Guoqing's eyes suddenly open and his face was heavy, Stephen immediately asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhao Guoqing's gaze turned on the other passengers, and he said in a low voice: "You hide under the chair for a while." ”
Hide under the chair, what's wrong?
Stephen was a little panicked, his eyes turned with Zhao Guoqing, and his mouth responded, "Oh, okay." ”
The atmosphere inside the carriage suddenly changed, and it seemed that every passenger's eyes were staring at Zhao Guoqing and Stephen, and the atmosphere seemed very depressing and weird.
"Bang, bang.." The sound of the train running is clearly visible.
"Whew." The inside of the carriage suddenly became pitch black, and the train was passing through a tunnel.
"It's now!" Zhao Guoqing shouted at the moment when the carriage turned black.
"Bah, Bah..." Several gunshots rang out, and there was a chaotic sound of fighting in the carriage.
The tunnel was not long, and in the blink of an eye it passed, and the interior of the carriage was once again bright, but the scene inside was completely changed.
The lewd uncle and the young lady fell in a pool of blood; The child in the yellow hat transforms into a dwarf in his thirties, holding a large saber that does not match his size, with a faint blue glow and a trail of blood; The originally happy mother stood close to the dwarf, her right shoulder and arm were shot, hanging weakly, and blood was dripping continuously; The high school student holding the comic in his hand was still focused on the comic and was not affected by the changes, but the slightly drunk old man was no longer a little drunk, and he stared at Zhao Guoqing with a cold face in front of the high school student.
Zhao Guoqing had no bullets in his hand in the gun, and there was a bloody wound on his arm near his shoulder, and the skin around the wound was black, which was a sign of poisoning.
At the moment when he was confined to the darkness, Zhao Guoqing had already fought with the others in the carriage.
These people are all masters of the masters, only the lewd uncle and the young girl were killed by Zhao Guoqing before they were shot, and the others were only subject to the bullets in Zhao Guoqing's gun, but they were still alive.
Zhao Guoqing's right arm was injured by the dwarf, and the woman standing next to him was shot to save the dwarf, the two were a combination, and they cooperated very tacitly.
The bald old man and Zhao Guoqing slapped each other, his cultivation was strong, and it was estimated that he was the most powerful among these people.
