Chapter 986: The Old Man in the Mist
Qi Dongsi and Feng Jun used branches and soil to re-bury the old man's body, restore it to its previous appearance, and then cleaned up the scene, removing all traces of the three of them that might have been left.
Because the police will be called at that time, they went back to the house to clean up the traces that may have been left before, and finally locked the door and left the place quietly.
Everything was as it had been, with the breeze gently swaying the weeds in the fields and the occasional croaking of frogs, adding some life to a dark corner.
When entering the village all the way, Qi Dongsi observed that there were no cameras here, and there were few people, so he didn't have to worry about his actions in and out of the village being controlled by the police.
This trip to the north of the county was not a completely disappointing action for Qi Dongsi, although the old man who may know the truth was killed, but the murderer's action made Qi Dongsi question the old man's words even more, and he believed that the story thirty years ago was a lie concocted by the old man, but he still didn't understand why the old man did this, what was the reason behind it, and whether it was related to his parents.
"Where are we going now?" Feng Jun asked the eldest brother in the passenger seat as he drove the car, waiting for the next direction.
Qi Dongsi had already had his own plan, and said: "Go back to the south of the county and find a place for you to live." ”
"Find us a place to stay?What about you?What are you going to do?" Ji Linyuan, who was sitting in the back seat, heard Qi Dongsi's words, leaned forward and asked.
Qi Dongsi's expression was closed, and he said solemnly: "I'll go find the old man." ”
Ji Linyuan hurriedly asked, "Let's go with you." ”
Feng Jun also followed and said, "Yes, big brother, it's good to take care of you together." ”
Qi Dongsi shook his head and declined their kindness, and said: "No, the old man is more aggressive, and it is not suitable for many people, Ah Jun, you protect her and wait for me to come back." ”
Ji Linyuan frowned and said worriedly, "But...... But I can't rest assured that you're alone. ”
Qi Dongsi looked back at Ji Linyuan, who leaned over, patted her hand lightly and said, "It's okay, I know the old man very well, I'll be fine, and it's time for me to make an end with him." ”
"But I ......"
Ji Linyuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qi Dongsi, and at the same time promised: "Listen to my arrangement, I promise you that you will come back before dawn." ”
Ji Linyuan pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay, then you have to be more careful yourself." ”
The eldest brother had made up his mind, and Feng Jun couldn't continue to ask, so he also assured the eldest brother: "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely protect my sister-in-law, and we will wait for you to come back." ”
"Hmm. Qi Dongsi nodded, his eyes looking at the dark ahead.
returned to the south of the county, and found a random hotel on the street for Feng Jun and Ji Linyuan to stay first, while Qi Dongsi changed back to his car and went to find the old man.
Qi Dongsi didn't have a specific direction for the old man, the destination he went to was the place where he and the old man were separated, and he thought that if the old man deliberately manipulated all this behind the scenes, he would always expect that he would go back to find someone.
Qi Dongsi returned to the place where the old man had brought him before, Shangheji Village. At this time, the lights in Shangheji Village were dim, except for the headlights of his car, there was no light to be seen, and as he gradually went deeper into the village, the fog began to gradually begin to cover the front, as if in a dream.
Qi Dongsi sped up his speed through the village, and came to the huge lake, the fog here was heavier, it was strange that there was such a big fog in the summer, in order to ensure safety, Qi Dongsi had to lower his speed and drive slowly.
When he was about to cross the lake, suddenly there was a creepy wail from the lake, like the cry of a wild cat, and also like the cry of a cuckoo, Qi Dongsi closed the car window, and did not dare to look at the lake, only hoping to reach the place where he met the old man as soon as possible.
Leaving the lake, facing a forest, the dense fog here is still there, turning on the fog lights still has no great effect, Qi Dongsi couldn't help but be a little surprised, what is going on tonight, there is such a big fog.
Just when he was wondering, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, because the speed was too fast, and he couldn't see whether it was a human figure or the shadow of other animals, Qi Dongsi stared at the situation ahead, stepped on the accelerator of the car, trying to chase this black shadow.
But the speed of this black shadow was very fast, Qi Dongsi didn't catch up and wanted to give up, and then the black shadow appeared again, and now Qi Dongsi saw clearly, it was a figure, and this person seemed to want to guide Qi Dongsi to where to go.
Qi Dongsi didn't want to catch up, but this black shadow appeared at this time, it was not an accident, it was better to go and see the situation first, maybe it would be related to the old man, so he stepped on the accelerator and followed the direction of the black shadow.
Although Qi Dongsi was in the fog, he knew his direction and position, and after following for a while, he found that it was not the place where the old man took him before, and after hesitating for a while, he became more and more expectant about the identity of the black shadow and what was about to happen later.
Finally, after passing through the fog, an open field appeared in front of it, and the thick fog disappeared without a trace.
Qi Dongsi stopped the car and got out of the car to talk to the black shadow who led the way for him, but he didn't see the black shadow all around, and he couldn't help but be alert, because everything seemed so unreal.
Suddenly, a little starlight appeared on an oval stone in the distance, and the starlight was scattered in a puff of smoke, and Qi Dongsi could see clearly, there was a person smoking there.
When you meet someone in this lonely place, you don't have to think about it to know that the person who smokes is the one who brought you here.
Just when Qi Dongsi carefully looked at and guessed the identity of that person, that person was the first to speak: "You finally came." ”
This familiar voice Qi Dongsi will never forget, this person is the old man, it turns out that the old man really expected that he would go to him, Qi Dongsi calmed down, and said loudly: "Is it interesting to spend so much effort to make a mystery, you know that I will come to you, why use this way." ”
The old man suddenly asked, "Why do you still want to investigate the events of thirty years ago, and you don't believe the things I said?"
Qi Dongsi replied: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, I need to understand that story myself." ”
The old man smiled lightly and said: "Hehe, how many clues do you know, you just want to find out what happened thirty years ago, three parties, only I am still alive, who else can you believe if you don't believe me?"
Qi Dongsi's gaze wandered over the old man's face, trying to confirm the only doubt in his heart: "You killed that old man in Beiluo Village, County, right?"
"Where's the evidence?" the old man asked rhetorically, not admitting what he had done.
Qi Dongsi slowly walked towards the old man and said confidently: "Only you have the motivation and ability to get rid of someone in a short period of time. ”
"Hehe, now that I'm accusing me, I'm not even bothering to find evidence?" The old man sat down on the stone, took a puff of cigarette, looked down at Qi Dongsi below, squinted his eyes and asked in a special tone: "Don't you also have the same motive and ability?"
Qi Dongsi continued to confront the old man: "Are you afraid that if I find the truth and find evidence against you, you will kill people in advance, right?"
"Who knows if you are afraid that person will reveal your father's true face, so you choose to kill people and kill your mouth?" The old man showed an evil smile, and naturally threw the suspicion of killing people to Qi Dongsi.
"You ......"
"I'm the next person you're going to kill. ”
Qi Dongsi saw the old man's despicable and shameless look, so he jokingly mocked: "The thief shouts to catch the thief, the blood spews people, and the ability to reverse black and white, but you haven't taught me at all." ”
"Don't you just want to know the truth? I can tell you now very clearly that all the people who know the truth are no longer alive except me, but I won't tell you. "The old man played and coerced Qi Dongsi as his only insider, trying to divert Qi Dongsi's direction.
Qi Dongsi came to the bottom of the stone, looked up at the old man, and said fiercely: "You...... Do you really think I'm going to choose not to kill you for the sake of the truth?"
The old man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, and Qi Dongsi's gaze moved, thinking that the old man wanted to do something aggressive.
The old man looked at the dagger in his hand, paused for a moment, and then threw it at Qi Dongsi with a whoosh.
The handle of the dagger pointed at Qi Dongsi, and there was no aggression, Qi Dongsi took the dagger and looked at the old man suspiciously.
"Kill me, use this dagger, pierce my heart, so you can avenge your dad and your girlfriend. The old man suddenly became agitated, and pointed his finger to his chest, with a look of intent on asking for death.
Qi Dongsi thought of his tragic death father, as well as the innocent Ouyang Lan, the fire of hatred in his heart burned rapidly again, he clenched the dagger in his hand, and slowly walked towards the old man.
Qi Dongsi wandered in hesitation and determination with every step, he wanted to avenge his father and Ouyang Lan, but he also wanted to know the truth about his mother thirty years ago.
Before he knew it, he had stepped up the stone steps, walked up the stone, and came to the old man, but he still hadn't figured out what choice to make.
The old man looked like he was going to die calmly, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, sat down on the stone, closed his eyes tightly, and there was no expression of fear or fear on his face.
"Tell me the truth, I don't want lies. ”
Seeing that Qi Dongsi didn't make a move, the old man slowly opened his eyes and said with a slight smile: "What I told you before is half the truth and half is a lie. ”
