My heart was beating wildly.

"These two books are Professor Zhou's, Xiao Zhou lent them to me, I have read them, thank you. ”

I put the book down, Professor Zhou's wife glanced at the book, didn't say anything, that ancient book like a novel, turned a lot of times, the general ancient books are collected, but Professor Zhou always seems to be turning, I conclude, looking for the city.

I asked, where Professor Zhou had an accident.

It is a reservoir in the east of this city, a very large reservoir, the mountains are rippling, very beautiful, it is said to be the name of the small Jiangnan in the north, I have been there several times.

"Are the notes left by Professor Zhou still there?"

It seems that my friend and Professor Zhou are very good.

"It's all there, if you can use it, take it, I'll take it. ”

Professor Zhou's wife entered the study and took out three notebooks in a moment.

"Just these three copies. ”

After we left Professor Zhou's house, my friend gave me all the notes.

"You look at it first, give it to me after reading it, and I'll send it back, this can be regarded as a thought by my sister-in-law, don't lose it. ”

"Won't you take a look?"

"The direction of my research is not this, and I also remind you that if Professor Zhou has an accident, I'm afraid it will ......."

I nodded, and I knew very well that this was probably not so simple.

I went home, read three notebooks, remembered very clearly, and very seriously.

One is written on credit.

I looked, sweat has come down, the way of credit store management is, to credit friends, this friend is easy friends, the meaning of buying and selling, this easy friends is a link, to credit friends, to friends and easy, to form a business network, is the same as the current network, so that there is a business relationship between them, then, the business things, because of friends, not necessarily what, then credit stores in this way to establish a business network, just like to build a platform, then this has to have rules, that is, credit things, must be in the store on credit, debts, and do not collect money, just collect some information, or a certain thing, and then easy to fall, is the credit store to raise people, easy to change people's hands, not directly change money, this is a kind of disguise.

There are more rules, these rules are also determined by Yi people, character, human nature, but also there is a certain weirdness, just like the prophecy, very accurate, so that the Yi people are afraid, abide by this kind of rules, the prophecy comes true, it is definitely a large amount of knowledge of the mastery, look at the face, know the action, not the side of the door, this is bound to happen.

I really didn't expect it, my sweat came down.

Credit store, in the end, there is only such a store left, and it naturally does not form a large easy network, which exists in a small range.

I read the other two notes, what Professor Zhou wrote was to see that ancient book, a city written, at that time he was just a kind of nonsense in the wild history, and then he found something, to sum up, that novel is written is true, there is such a city, a water city, an underwater city, and the water enters.

These materials are all related to Professor Zhou's investigation of history, but in fact, they are all monolithic, and if you don't think about it, you will never think that there will be a connection.

Professor Zhou began to search for the city.

These two books are records and arguments about the existence of this city, as well as the places he recorded and walked during his investigation.

The last place of the accident is not recorded, and he was not able to return home.

Then the city is real.

I went to the reservoir and stood on the top of the mountain and watched, surrounded by mountains, with peaks rising and mist rising on the water, a very beautiful place.

The area of the reservoir is 90 square kilometers, the water depth is nearly 40 meters, and there are more than 10 islands on the water.

Professor Zhou's accident was on the south bank, and I got to that place, which is close to the water.

"If you enter the water, will you get the city?"

I stood for a long time, and Yoo Hui called and asked me to go home.

When I went back, Yoo Hye said something was wrong.

Her face was pale.

"It's okay, I'm here. ”

Liu Hui said that something happened to Furuya.

She told me that there was a man who had been guarding the house for decades, and suddenly hanged himself in the house at night, and in a room, there was nothing left, and it seemed that he suddenly hanged himself.

"Did you call the police?"

"It's done, it's suicide, and it's sent to the funeral home. ”

Liu Hui said that it was not a suicide, absolutely not, but the patrol said that it was a suicide.

Yoo Hye is talking about feelings, and she doesn't feel like it's suicide.

"Who's the girl in that room?"

"I never dared to go in, I was scared, and my grandfather wouldn't let me in, saying that the girl had been dead for a long time. ”

"Dead people don't do that. ”

Yoo Hye was silent.

"Deal with the people first, you don't go back to the credit store, and don't go to the ancient house, after the processing, we will go to the ancient house. ”

After Liu Hui and I buried the people, we went to the ancient house.

I stood in front of the room, opened the lock, and went in.

"I bought this dress for you, why are you here?"

I've always had no problem with Yoo Hye, the skirt is still hanging there.

"I don't know, I only wore that dress once, and I couldn't find it, I don't know why I couldn't find it. ”

Yoo Hye's face turned white.

"Did these things happen when Grandpa was here?"

"No, there was a shadow of someone in this house, but my grandfather never let me get close, I was scared, and I didn't dare to approach. ”

I lifted the three curtains of my daughter's bed, and the quilt inside was covered with something.

I lifted the quilt and took a few steps back.

"Get out. ”

Go out, I asked Liu Hui how could this be?

"Grandpa never said it, but he did, this was the head office of the credit store. ”

It seems that everything is connected and not alone.

My guess is not wrong.

"Get out of here for now. ”

We went back, sat at home, and I told me about the city.

"Do you see any connection?"

Liu Hui shook her head, only knowing that when her grandfather was alive, he always said that he wanted to go home.

It seems that everything is not so simple, because Liu Hui is a girl, and grandpa didn't expect her to do anything, so she just maintained it like this until she died.

"How's the matter of the credit store handled?"

"It's very troublesome, when collecting the accounts, there are some credit people who actually hid, this has never happened, maybe it is the reason for the death of grandpa, they are not afraid, but they don't know the horror of the credit store at all, not only the terrible rules, but also the terrible things. ”

"How scary?"

"I don't want to say, I want to sleep. ”

Yoo Hye was really tired, she slept, and I slept on the couch all night.

When I got up the next day, I asked Liu Hui to stay at home while I went out to run errands.

I called that friend of mine.

"You help me find two professors to study history. ”

"Now?"

"Yes, I'll take them to a place in a moment, and for them, it's worth studying. ”

An hour later, two professors came, in their cars.

One is Professor Hu and the other is Professor Ma.

I talked about things, and they were interested, and there was such a place.

"How much do you know about credit stores?"

"We don't know much about it, we all know it from Professor Zhou, we are good friends with Professor Zhou, we get together every week to discuss some things, that's how we know. ”

"The place I'm taking you to is an ancient house, the kind on the second floor, and it's also a general credit store. ”

They froze, looked at me, and half-believed.
