Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 289 Mei Su Chases the Murderer
It is difficult to describe in detail how Qiu Chuji felt when he saw Yang Guo at this moment.

He didn't spend much time with Yang Guo, so to say that their feelings were deep would be sheer nonsense.

But a shallow relationship doesn’t mean there are no concerns.

No matter that Yang Guo called him "Grandmaster" or that everything Yang Guo was going through was inextricably linked to him, Qiu Chuji could not remain indifferent to Yang Guo's affairs.

At this moment, the young man lying on the hospital bed was wrapped in gauze. From the gaps in the gauze at his eye sockets and nostrils, one could guess that there was not a single piece of good skin on Yang Guo's body.

He must have suffered very cruel torture before lying on this hospital bed.

The various medical devices inserted into Yang Guo's body showed that he had not only suffered extensive trauma on the surface of his skin, but his bones, muscles, and even his internal organs should all be in a fragile state.

Perhaps if Yang Guo had not been a warrior with a strong physique, and had not been blessed by the true Qi that was suppressed and unable to be used but still existed in his body, he would have already been unable to endure the torture and died.

He showed extraordinary abilities, perhaps he was targeted by the local forces in Tailan.

The other party tortured Yang Guo, trying to force an answer out of him.

Unfortunately, Yang Guo’s situation is similar to Qiu Chuji’s and is not replicable. Even if Yang Guo is willing to speak, no one can get what they want from the answer given by Yang Guo.

Perhaps it was because of this that Yang Guo suffered so much torture and became so unrecognizable.

People are only willing to believe what they can understand, and will always sneer at answers beyond their cognition.

"Who did it?" Qiu Chuji asked calmly, turning his head to look at Bai Yuanfan.

Bai Yuanfan's expression was also very solemn. He replied in a low voice: "It must be related to the local police system, but... this is someone else's territory after all."

Qiu Chuji nodded and said: "Find a smuggling ship and take him back to the country first."

Qiu Chuji was burning with anger at this moment, but he was not a reckless person. His abilities were severely limited now. He would have no problem protecting himself, but with such a large group of people and a seriously injured and dying Yang Guo, he couldn't move freely.

If he wanted to do something, he had to wait until Bai Yuanfan and others brought Yang Guo back to the country, so that he would have no worries.

"This... the ship is easy to find. Our Bai family has cooperation with several ocean-going companies in southern Fujian. We can get on board tomorrow at the latest after contacting them. However, the various facilities on the cargo ship may not be very good... How about waiting for two days, I will contact the tourist cruise ship and rent a luxury suite first?" Bai Yuanfan had roughly guessed from Qiu Chuji's expression that this Taoist seemed to have the idea of ​​venting his anger. He wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare to confront him.

Two days ago, Mr. Bai's watch 'Guo Peng' transmitted a message, indicating that Qiu Chuji was a very scary existence, and told them not to offend him and to follow his wishes as much as possible.

“It’s okay! It’s just a cargo ship, leave as soon as possible!” Qiu Chuji said as he cut his finger with his fingertip, walked in front of Yang Guo, and drew a life-saving talisman on Yang Guo’s heart with his own blood. At the same time, he silently prayed to the Emperor of the South Pole to cast a spell and send down his divine power to cooperate with this life-saving talisman to take effect.

Watching the blood talisman emitting a mysterious light, gradually seeping through the bandage and penetrating into Yang Guo's body, making Yang Guo's breathing a little steadier, Qiu Chuji let out a long breath.

Then Qiu Chuji stayed in the ward and learned Thai through his mobile phone.

His soul cannot leave his body, so he cannot directly perceive what others want to express through the sense of touch of his soul. Overcoming the language barrier, it is somewhat troublesome and difficult to communicate in Thailand if he cannot understand Thai language.

Although the popularity of English in Thailand is quite high, it does not mean that every Thai is good at English.

Qiu Chuji's primordial spirit has been formed and he is only one step away from cultivating a yang spirit. Even if his primordial spirit cannot act on the outside world, with the help of his primordial spirit, his learning ability is extraordinary.

Even just one night was enough for him to learn most of the basic Thai expressions, and there were actually no obstacles in communication.

By noon the next day, Bai Yuanfan's bodyguards knocked out two Thai policemen guarding the door of the ward, stole a wheelchair from the hospital, and quietly sent Yang Guo out of the hospital. Then they went all the way to the dock and boarded a tourist boat that traveled between Myeik Island and Surat Thani. Halfway through, they turned to a cargo ship, which sailed directly to the high seas and then returned to the country.

After making sure that Yang Guo was temporarily safe, Qiu Chuji rejected Bai Yuanfan's request to arrange for someone to continue to follow and take care of him. He only left two satellite phones and a few phone numbers that might be useful, and then returned to Meisu Island alone.

Mue Soi Island is one of Thailand's relatively less commercialized tourist islands, with beautiful beaches and sea water. Compared with Mangu and Chiang Mai, which are popular destinations for Chinese tourists in Thailand, the majority of tourists on Mue Soi Island are Europeans, Americans and Russians.

So on Meisu Island, people sometimes have the illusion that they are actually on an island in Europe.

The local Thai people basically do not frequent luxurious restaurants, bars or even beaches and hotels. If they appear, they exist as waiters, providing fairly appropriate services, but they have little sense of presence.

It has to be said that there is a reason why Chinese people are keen on traveling to Southeast Asia.

The same sea view hotel room in China may have a small window so that you can see the sea in the distance, and it may cost six or seven hundred yuan a night. However, in Southeast Asia, a room with an unbeatable sea view may be priced at around three or four hundred yuan a night, and the prices of seafood and delicacies are also relatively cheaper.

If a couple's budget is less than 20,000 yuan, they can spend a week on a relatively well-developed island in Southeast Asia and be quite comfortable. As long as they don't take any "adventures", they will most likely return home happily and have endless aftertastes of the trip. But if they go to a certain place in Asia, they will most likely suffer a lot of losses and be very angry. If you are poor, you should not go traveling.

Of course, any glamour and splendor may just be superficial.

During the day, there is sunshine, beaches, delicious and cheap tropical fruits, and generous and wealthy Western ladies on Meisu Island.

At night on Meisu Island, if you leave the busy streets or relatively safe hotels and go to those more remote or "exciting" places, all kinds of monsters will pop up and tear apart the good impression given by the daytime.

Due to changes in the international situation, the overall tourism market has been declining in recent years.

The same is true for Mui Su Island. The number of tourists has dropped significantly, and the income of those who rely on tourists for their livelihood has dropped sharply.

Many people began to have other ideas. They no longer thought about making a steady income, but about making a big profit.

Qiu Chuji, who changed out of his Taoist robe and put on a sports suit, had a head full of silver hair tied up. He looked like an old widower who had no relatives to accompany him and came out alone to take a last look at this wonderful world. In the eyes of many people, such a person is often the most suitable prey.

The songthaew drove from the pier through the city streets and headed towards a remote road section. The other foreign passengers on the songthaew had already got off.

In the end, only Qiu Chuji and the driver of the rickshaw were left in the carriage.

This type of passenger vehicle, which is modified from a small truck, is relatively cheap and can be picked up and dropped off at will, making it more cost-effective than a taxi. At the same time, due to its openness, it seems to have a certain degree of safety guarantee.

But that is in the urban area. Once you leave the urban area, the trolley buses and taxis can turn into man-eating beasts at any time.

The vehicle stopped at a remote fork in the road.

The driver turned around, and his eyes on his thin face were particularly wide open.

"Sir! My car has a small problem. Could you please get out and help me push it?" The driver said politely, and his English pronunciation was fairly standard.

Qiu Chuji sat in the carriage without moving.

The driver said in broken Chinese: "Please...get off...and help me, okay?"

Qiu Chuji still kept his eyes slightly closed and did not intend to move.

The fact that his soul cannot leave his body does not mean that it is useless. When he approached the driver of the double-trailer, he could feel the aura of Yang Guo from his body, and it was not faint, but rather strong.

This also means that this shuangtiao driver played a certain role in Yang Guo's experience.

As for Qiu Chuji, even though he knew that the police station was a key location, he did not intend to go directly to the police station, because that would definitely make things worse immediately.

You can vent some of your anger, but there is a high probability that you will miss the real culprit and the mastermind behind the harm to Yang Guo.

Therefore, Qiu Chuji decided to be patient, as he hadn't done in a long time, to unravel the matter first, starting from the small details, figuring things out bit by bit, and then... not letting anyone off the hook.

Compassionate?

That's a catchphrase only monks use.

I, the Taoist master, focus on the idea of ​​"clear thoughts". All the evil demons and heretics that hinder thoughts should be killed with a sword.

"Island people?"

"Bangladesh?"

The driver of the Shuangtiao stepped out of the cockpit and walked to the open rear door of the carriage.

Qiu Chuji took out his phone, pulled out a picture of Yang Guo drawn using AI, and asked in English: "Have you seen him?"

When the driver heard Qiu Chuji speaking English, a trace of displeasure flashed across his eyes, but he was still very polite. He glanced at the photo casually and immediately said, "I don't know him, sir... But I can ask for you, but it will cost a little."

"Now, I'd like you to get out of the car and help me start it."

In fact, he simply wanted to trick Qiu Chuji out of the car and leave him here.

Kidnapping and extortion are jobs with clear division of labor in Thailand.

Some people are responsible for recruiting people, some are responsible for transportation, some are responsible for interrogation, some are responsible for transferring money, and some are responsible for cleaning, distributing and sending them off.

It seems troublesome, but once a line is formed where there is no interference with each other but interests are connected, the whole thing will become safe and secure.

Although a one-stop all-inclusive service is very convenient and you can earn more money, it is easy to fail if you offend someone who is not easy to deal with.

Unlike this kind of split action, which involves many people, many places, and many stakeholders, it is very complicated and arduous to investigate. Even if there is a commotion, it will be reduced to a small matter.

Qiu Chuji got off the rickshaw, stood in front of the short driver, and asked again, "Are you sure you haven't seen him?"

"Take a closer look!"

The driver of Shuangtiao took another look at the photo on his phone and now he had a vague impression of it.

But he didn't show it on his face and kept shaking his head.

The next moment, he felt dizzy and suddenly found that his skull was embedded in the rear iron railing of the rickshaw.

A strong feeling of pain, accompanied by a feeling of dizziness, came over me slowly.

Blood dyed half of his body red, and the lower half of his torso began to twitch instinctively.

"I don't like it when people lie to me."

"Besides, I am not very good at giving people a third chance." Qiu Chuji looked at the body of the shuangtiao driver and spoke calmly and restrainedly.

If his abilities could still be used now, he would have already started to extract and search souls.

What a pity... This double-lane driver is obviously not worth Qiu Chuji spending a drop of blood, drawing a talisman, and praying to the gods again.

Qiu Chuji stood there waiting for about ten minutes, and then an SUV came speeding and rushed directly into the fork in the road.

Three local Thai men dressed in flowery shirts and dressed like gangsters jumped out of the car.

After seeing Qiu Chuji, they all showed joy on their faces.

What they like most are retired old men and beautiful single girls from the big country next door. There is little risk, low difficulty and high returns.

Young men are actually not the first choice because there are still certain risks.

Although those people from the great Eastern country looked like lambs and had not experienced any hardships or sufferings, they did not lack the courage to fight.

However, the joy on the three people's faces only lasted less than three seconds.

They immediately saw the driver of the shuangtiao who had died in a miserable state.

"Something's wrong, run!" The oldest of the three shouted in Thai, then turned around and got in the car and ran away.

It’s not their fault that they are timid.

There are many kinds of weird ghosts and heresies in Thailand, and there are also many corresponding monsters.

Being able to smash a person's head directly into the iron railing requires tremendous strength, which is obviously not something a normal human being can do.

These three people only need to take a closer look to have a reaction.

As for taking up the gun?
Damn it!
Although Thailand does not ban guns and there are many illegal guns among the people, this does not mean that every Thai carries a gun and dares to shoot.

Mesopotamia is not Florida.

When it comes to kidnapping and extortion, or even handing over to the cyber fraud park, these three people are just small fry in the front line, and they don't have the confidence and ability to commit such violent acts.

The vehicle started, turned onto the main road, and then drove towards the city.

Meisu Island is a municipality with seven districts in the lower area. These seven districts are not all concentrated together, but are scattered all over the island.

At this time, the car, driven by three panicked Thai people, was driving towards "Namuan" in a crooked manner.

They didn't notice at all that there was a person standing on the roof of the car.

This person is of course Qiu Chuji.

Since they wanted to uproot them, Qiu Chuji would of course follow these three Thai people and find their lair first.
