"Yes!" Manager Rao said to Zhao Yu in the speeding police car. "After the Hailan case, we received news that Snaketooth's headquarters had been destroyed!
We were all wanted by Interpol in Sri Lanka, so we had nowhere to go! "
Manager Rao continued, "So, Cai Xingwen and I discussed it and made an extreme decision. We hid in the mountains and forests of Hailan with the huge amount of money that we had robbed from the rich merchants and lived in seclusion.
"After hiding for nearly two years, we finally came out of the mountains and returned." Manager Rao said. "Then, we used the rich merchants' funds to forge our own identities and settled down in Hailan to live a normal life.
But, although we had new identities, we still lived in fear every day. We never showed our faces in public, for fear that we would be targeted one day. "
"Oh …" Zhao Yu thought for a moment and asked, "What about Boss Ma? Where did he come from? Didn't Cai Xingwen and the others know Boss Ma's identity? "
"Yes!" Manager Rao nodded affirmatively. "Snaketooth has its own confidentiality mechanism. They either keep in touch with each other through a single line of communication, or they have an informant like me.
So, only I know that Boss Ma is an important leader of Snaketooth. Even K doesn't know! " Manager Rao paused for a moment, then started to recall. "As for Boss Ma, we reconnected eight years ago.
"Coincidentally, Boss Ma was also taking refuge in Jingzhou. When we met, he told me that he had already gotten wind of the news before the Sri Lankan purge, so he had already deleted his and the few of us' identities!"
Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hide safely until now. "
Manager Rao shook his head helplessly. "Of course, I was very happy to hear this news. So, I started a business partnership with Boss Ma.
"I thought that I would be able to live a peaceful life, but … Alas!" Manager Rao shook his head helplessly. "This is probably the legendary retribution!
"Oh, by the way," he said, suddenly remembering something. "Boss Ma also deleted K's information. Boss Ma tried to find him, but he couldn't find him!"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said, "So, there should be no grudge between Boss Ma and K? Otherwise, Boss Ma would not have deleted his message or tried to find him.
"Strange …" Zhao Yu frowned. "If so, why does K want to use us to find Boss Ma?"
"That's easy …" Manager Rao hurriedly said. "Why don't you just ask Boss Ma yourself?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu quietly glanced at his phone.
At that moment, Miao Ying was interrogating Ma Hongyi in another police car. But Ma Hongyi was not like Manager Rao. Even though he had seen the video of Manager Rao's confession, he gritted his teeth and refused to say a word!
From the looks of it, it wouldn't be easy to get Ma Hongyi to talk in a short period of time. Hence, he had to get more information from Manager Rao.
"Police officer, it's not that I'm squeamish, but I really have to remind you," Manager Rao begged Zhao Yu again. "The place where we buried the body is deep in the mountains, and you have to walk very far to get there!
"But … Look at me now …" He pointed at his bloodied clothes. "I might not be able to make it there!
"It's okay if I die, but I don't want to hold you up! And … "He pointed outside the window." It's night time now, and I haven't been there for more than ten years. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find the right way, so … Look, the hospital … "
"It's okay," Zhao Yu interrupted him. "I'll take a gamble and see if you're lucky enough to survive! If you don't make it and die on the road, or if you can't find the place to hide the body, then I'll just find a water hole and bury you! "
"This … What you're saying …" Manager Rao held his stomach and grumbled. "At least bandage me … I … Hey? Don't, don't … "
But, before Manager Rao could finish his sentence, Zhao Yu grabbed his head and slammed it against the car window, causing him to wail in pain.
"I'm warning you for the last time. Don't try to play tricks with me!" Zhao Yu pressed his head down and threatened him. "You just said that you lived in seclusion in the mountains for a year, and now you're saying that you might have gotten the wrong way?
"Alright, if you really have the guts, then try admitting that you're wrong! Let's see if you still have the life to be a witness! "
"No, no, no … I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare …" Manager Rao had lost his temper after being tormented by Zhao Yu. He immediately begged for mercy. "Don't worry, I'll definitely find the right place …"
"Let me ask you again," Zhao Yu let go of his head and pulled up the photos of the Bone Case on his phone. He asked Manager Rao, "Take a good look. Are these things from Potuo Sect?"
Then, Zhao Yu briefly told him what had happened in the Bone Case.
"Oh my God!" After hearing that, Manager Rao took a deep breath and shuddered. "This K … Isn't he a little too crazy? Is there something wrong with his brain? "
"Oh?" Zhao Yu saw something in Manager Rao's eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
"That's right, these …" Manager Rao pointed at the photos and said, "are all Potuo Sect's primitive totems and sacrificial items!
"On the island that we lived on when we were young, there were many primitive people who believed in Potuo Sect.
"In order for them to accept us, we all chose their religion and prayed with them. Gradually, we became loyal believers.
"But … We weren't as extreme as K! Everyone knows what Potuo Sect is all about. How could we take the Bone Soul Summoning seriously? "
"What? Bone Soul Summoning? "Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows.
"Yes," Manager Rao replied. "Behind our backs, our elders called Potuo Sect the Bone Sect. This was because the sect worshipped bones and believed that after a person died, the soul would attach itself to the bones!
"If … If this was done by K …" He pointed at the photos and said, "then K must have been possessed! He wanted to use other people's bones to reconstruct the soul of the owner of the skull, so that she could have a complete body after reincarnation!
"But …" Manager Rao grinned and shook his head. "How could we take this seriously?"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Not just a complete body, but a perfect body! The people that K used to summon the soul of the skull were all models with perfect bodies! "
"No way …" Manager Rao gulped. "K must be crazy! To kill someone just to summon the soul, and to take the bones, isn't that too crazy? Who is the owner of this skull? "
After asking, the car suddenly fell into silence.
