Chapter 350 Who Can Outsmart Whom?
Dongling Road is more than ten kilometers away from Shanming University of Finance and Economics. No matter how good a person is, he can never be as good as a ghost.
Ji Li just stopped a taxi, and then a car blocked the road.
Gao Yan's face appeared from behind the car window, and he shouted to Ji Li anxiously: "Get on this one!"
Ji Li did not hesitate at all, abandoned the taxi, and got on Gao Yan's car.
The engine roared, crushed a piece of white snow, and drove away from the old city.
Ji Li stared at the scene of continuous retreat. The speed of the car was the fastest on the snowy road, but he still thought it was too slow.
But he did not urge it, he knew that this was the limit.
At this speed, by the time he arrived at Shanming University of Finance and Economics, he was afraid that everything would be over.
The most urgent task was to ensure that the girl named "Li Lixin" would not die.
At least, she must live to see Ji Li.
"Shanming University of Finance and Economics... Killing to silence... Delaying time..."
After Ji Li silently recited a few sentences, he suddenly looked at Gao Yan beside him and asked:
"Where is Li Lixin's personal information?"
Ji Li didn't know Gao Yan, but he could tell from his past identity, so he knew that Gao Yan would definitely conduct an in-depth investigation immediately when he found Li Lixin.
Sure enough, as soon as Ji Li finished speaking, Gao Yan pulled out an A4 paper from under his seat.
There was not much information on it, only a small two-inch photo and some black words, and these words were obviously handwritten by Gao Yan himself.
From here, it can also be seen that Gao Yan, an old criminal policeman, has a watertight style of doing things.
It's a pity that they can calculate people, but not ghosts.
Ji Li sighed, took out his mobile phone after a simple glance, and dialed a person's number.
The other end of the phone was picked up after a long time, and there was a rustling sound of fabric friction, and a man's voice was heard after a while.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that the man's ability to move was greatly reduced, and it was very difficult for him to even connect the phone.
"Jie Zheng, this is Ji Li. I have something to tell you. It's up to you to decide whether to tell Tongguan.
You are in the University of Finance and Economics, or you haven't gone far. Find a reason to go back.
Looking for a girl named Li Lixin, she is a first-year graduate student majoring in finance, living in bed 3, room 1101, A-3 floor, female dormitory.
You have at most three minutes to take her away. It's up to you whether to go or not."
After saying this, Ji Li hung up the phone completely. He knew that Jie Zheng would understand.
Since one of the rules of this mission is to prohibit the staff of both sides from communicating about their respective mission progress, many things cannot be said too bluntly.
Strictly speaking, Ji Li's words have the suspicion of revealing intelligence, but it is just a sideline.
After all, he just said that Jie Zheng should go to find Li Lixin, without mentioning the ghost and without any purpose.
Of course, Ji Li believes that with Jie Zheng's intelligence, what he said here is enough.
He had to go back. The three-minute time limit clearly indicated that there was a ghost there, but why would the ghost go to find an unrelated female student?
Xie Zheng must have guessed that this Li Lixin was very likely the clue character and had a huge role, otherwise he would not compete with the ghost for time.
Then, Xie Zheng had to go.
And Ji Li was almost certain that Xie Zheng would not call Tongguan, and at most would take Yu Xing with him.
Because if Li Lixin represented the clue of survival, then whoever got it would have the upper hand and would have a greater role in this mission.
After all, their mission this time was to find a store manager.
At that time, a Xie Zheng with broken hands and feet, an unknown little character, would be an advantage for Ji Li to deal with.
At worst... just kill them and set everything right.
Ji Li's eyes were deep, his temperament was changing invisibly, and his silence was full of the strength of strategizing.
Solving the first problem, the second problem has also appeared.
That is why this ghost wanted to kill Li Lixin, and even lurked around Ji Li, waiting for him to investigate the case?
If we follow the previous conjecture, the case that Ji Li wants to investigate is the Mu Nianmei case.
Then it can be inferred that the ghost he is facing now is the murderer who killed Mu Nianmei, otherwise there is no reasonable explanation for all this.
Only the murderer who killed Mu Nianmei is the female leather-faced ghost, so it will follow Ji Li and kill people to silence them.
The purpose is to prevent Ji Li from completing the task and avoid the fate of being arrested and handed over to the hotel.
In this way, it seems that the route of this mission has become smooth.
But from what the owner of the audio-visual store said, Mu Nianmei became a ghost three years ago, so what kind of bond does Mu Nianmei have with this female leather-faced ghost?
After all, they are natural enemies.
The appearance of the female leather-faced ghost made everything clear, which was the beginning of the last 24 hours of the mission.
Since then, Ji Li finally figured out the form of this mission.
First of all, this mission does have to solve two cases, the Mu Nianmei case and the 11.18 case.
In these two cases, the murderer who killed Mu Nianmei was the female leather-faced ghost. Ji Li's final task was to find a way to capture it.
As for Mu Nianmei's transformation into a ghost by Tianhai three years ago, and what the connection was with the female leather-faced ghost, Ji Li couldn't figure it out.
But he could vaguely feel that if he couldn't figure it out, it would probably cause a huge change in this mission.
But no matter what, Ji Li is now gradually relaxed. The direction of his mission has been determined. At present, he only needs to protect Li Lixin and obtain new information.
"Tell me the rules of dealing with ghosts."
Gao Yan stared at the road ahead without looking sideways, his voice was low and hoarse, he would not give up halfway this time.
…
At the gate of Shanming University of Finance and Economics, Yu Xing and Jie Zheng sat back to back on a stone slab, and the old trees above their heads blocked the wind and snow.
Yang Shouyi crossed his legs and looked at each other, always paying attention to the gate of the university to see when the familiar figure would come out.
"Is Tongguan dead? Why hasn't he come out for so long!"
Yang Shouyi and Yu Xing were both worried about Tongguan, only Jie Zheng silently endured the cold and pain, thinking frantically about a problem.
That's right, he still didn't go in. He didn't disbelieve Ji Li's words, on the contrary, he believed it.
Because Ji Li's play this time was obviously an open conspiracy, by pursuing the position of store manager and adding life route clues to induce him to enter the university again.
But Jie Zheng had no choice but to go, unless he really didn't want to complete the task and lie down.
But although time was tight, Jie Zheng believed that if he didn't come up with a way to crack Ji Li's plan, he would never go in as a scapegoat.
It was snowing heavily, and Xie Zheng's face had turned pale. His body could not hold on for much longer.
After a moment of silence, he leaned against Yu Xing's back and whispered:
"Come back with me to the downstairs of the women's dormitory and look for Tongguan."
Yu Xing was startled and turned back to ask again as if he had not heard clearly.
Xie Zheng repeated it again expressionlessly and explained:
"The white candle is a sin object. Tongguan will not die. He should be injured and fainted.
If we don't find him, it means that we have no sin objects in this mission. Help me go back quickly."
Upon hearing the word "sin object", Yu Xing did not dare to neglect it. Although he was vaguely afraid in his heart, he was also moved by Xie Zheng's words.
Although Yang Shouyi was also tempted, he still had to save his life, so he did not choose to follow.
Xie Zheng got on Yu Xing's back again, and the two of them left only a series of footprints on the snow and went to the downstairs of the women's dormitory.
"The fewer people who know about the important clues of life, the less they know. You just think that I won't go to Tongguan to share them, so that we can eliminate the insider.
Heh, this time I, Jie Zheng, will not follow your idea, even if I lose 8,000 yuan, as long as I can drag you down.
This store manager is not mine, so it doesn't matter who sits down, whoever sits down will die!"
