Chapter 11 The tree has deep roots

The assistant of the proprietress was tied in front of his eyes, and Li Wei almost screamed. He felt a tap on the shoulder, and when he looked back, he saw Jane Eyre pressing her index finger to her lips, motioning for him to keep quiet, and pointing outwards again. Li Wei rushed to the road outside the house in one breath, panting heavily. Jane Eyre walked out unhurriedly, carrying a backpack full of food and drink, and motioned for him to walk towards the big tree at the end of the village.

"You kidnapped her? Why?" Li Wei sat under the tree, a little out of breath with fright. "Be quiet, the village is so quiet, she may hear you even from a distance. Jane Eyre sat down and calmly opened her backpack, "We're not going to use her for ransom. To put it mildly, we're going to detain her here temporarily. As for why, I'll have to ask you first. "Me?" "As far as we can see, you came back from the village in the morning and went to stay in the hostess's house for a long time. What did you tell her?" "This ......" "No matter what you say, anyway, when you get out of the yard and get into the car, this woman runs out of the farmhouse and finds a secluded place to make a phone call. ”

Li Wei was stunned for a moment before remembering to take a piece of bread and a can of luncheon meat handed by Jane Eyre. "Do you recognize who she is?" "Of course, the assistant to the proprietress in the farmhouse." "You know only one thing, but you don't know the other. Jane Eyre took a sip of water and continued, "She's the eyeliner that Boss Wang planted in that farmhouse." "Eyeliner?" "That's right, she is a distant relative of Boss Wang, nominally helping the proprietress take care of business, but in fact, she keeps her eyes open, pays close attention to any suspicious people and situations, and once there is an abnormality, she immediately reports it to Boss Wang or Xiangyang Temple. ”

It sounds unbelievable that the plot in the spy war TV series is actually staged in this small suburban county.

Speaking of eyeliner, in fact, she is not the only one with such eyeliner, more than 80% of the county's tourist facilities have Boss Wang's participation in the development of the economy, and almost all the hotels and farmhouses with a face initially relied on Boss Wang's investment as the capital. Every time this kind of inn or farmhouse opens, Boss Wang will always arrange one or two clever distant relatives or henchmen to enter it, even if he finds a low-paying idle job, the excuse is nothing more than human sophistication, such as not being able to get along in the city, graduating from secondary school and not being able to find a job, and so on. Out of reverence, the shopkeepers would certainly not refuse this not too excessive request, and out of awe of Boss Wang, their requirements and management of these special employees were much more lenient than those of ordinary employees. This allows these guys to fully fulfill their eyeliner job - to be vigilant and keep an eye on suspicious tourists. ”

Li Wei chewed the bread and canned meat in his mouth sluggishly, as if his jaw was rusty. I really can't imagine that this Boss Wang has such a scheming, but why is this?

Jane Eyre continued: "Dante said that you are bold and cautious. You've behaved well since you couldn't find him, and our plans are on track. It's only the fact that you went to the boss lady and it became a dangerous fight, but you are not to blame. The reason why Dante and I wanted to book this farmhouse was because it was not particularly large, and it could not receive many guests, unlike those who had a thriving business and were watched by Boss Wang's right-hand man. Of course, through information collection and analysis, we believe that there will also be his eyeliner here, but we don't know who it is. At noon that day, Dante found that the proprietress had been leading the waiters to do their work, while the helper was walking back and forth in the hallway, pretending to be running errands, but in fact had nothing to do. So in the evening, we devised a plan to verify her identity. But she wasn't as sharp as we thought, and we didn't notice that we were talking to each other under the wall, and in the end you brought her over. ”

"You're saying that night, the three of you ...... on purpose" "Yes, we're not only going to draw her in, but we're going to test your reactions." Fortunately, both goals were achieved. "Test me?" "yes, see how perceptive you are." ”

Li Wei seemed to have lost his appetite, and put aside the remaining half of the bread and the luncheon meat, which had not been reduced much. "After being convinced that she was eyeliner, we watched her in turn. "Jane Eyre, a slender woman, seemed to be able to eat well, and after talking for so long, things kept coming to her mouth. However, her eating appearance is very elegant, unlike Shang Yiming, who gobbles up, and does not say vague words to him when chewing something in her mouth, she always swallows a mouthful of food before she spits out every word clearly. When she hurried to call her phone, Xing Tian followed. From the look she looks at you as she gets into the car, he concludes that her next action has something to do with you. Jane Eyre briefly recounted how Xingtian knocked the woman unconscious outside the small cave, and said: "The name of the number she chose is 'Fourth Aunt-in-law', and a simple comparison reveals that it is one of the two numbers that we have mastered Boss Wang." There is also a phone number of Xiangyang Temple on that phone. Xingtian tied her up, and wanted to hide her in a small cave, but we were afraid that she would be discovered because it was too close to the farmhouse, so we drove the car over, quietly loaded her, and transported her to this abandoned village, where no one frequented her, and temporarily stored it with our logistics materials this time. "But you should have come by bus with us, I didn't see you driving......" "Yes, Xingtian and I came by bus, but this doesn't prevent other colleagues from driving!"

There are also people! In addition to the three of them, there are other people! Li Wei spat on the ground as if something was stuffed between his teeth, and asked, "You just said that you were testing me, and I guess I followed Shang ...... Dante got on the bus to the county, and everything that happened around me was planned by you, right?" "Before that, I was expelled and Xiaoping left me, did you also do it?" his tone suddenly sharpened.

"Your imagination is too rich. Who is Xiaoping? You've been expelled? I'm sorry we don't know, but Dante didn't say anything about it...... "Okay, probably except for that, he gave you all my secrets, right? When I first entered the village, I thought there was nothing to eat here, wondering if he told you that I was a rabbit, and you want to invite me to eat grass!"

"Relax, relax. Jane Eyre looked towards the room where the proprietress assistant's assistant was hidden, and gestured to Li Wei not to get excited, "Listen, there are many things about you, including the physiognomy, whether they are private or not, Dante didn't tell us, and we didn't ask him. Because we're not here to investigate you, we don't need to know about this. "How much more did you know about me through him, and how much else did you test me?" "We need to know if you are a trustworthy person." Jane Eyre finally finished eating, she took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, her eyes looked away, but her tone was very solemn, "From an economic point of view, there is no contract or remuneration for our work, and our sincerity and common belief are the basis for the unity of our colleagues. ”

After a moment of silence, Jane Eyre pointed to the food spread on the ground and spoke first: "I advise you to eat some more, and do some physical work together in the evening, and I don't know what time I will eat dinner or if I can eat so comfortably." "I have no appetite, I have a hundred thousand whys in my heart, and your answers can fill me. Li Wei hung his head, as if muttering to himself, "In the end, you still want me to do things for you, what kind of physical work? Dig a pit and bury Boss Wang's eyeliner alive?"

Jane Eyre couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Do you want to do this or do you think we will do this?" We are not killers, and although she is a close confidant of Boss Wang, she has not done anything heinous. If you want to kill her, why bother to catch her here? Why let you speak quietly so that she doesn't recognize her by her voice? She was knocked out with her back to Xingtian, so we can't move, shout, or see, as long as we don't leave clues to her voice, we can release her after tonight, so that when she is free, she knows nothing about what happened, just like she doesn't know anything about Boss Wang's purpose for letting her be an eyeliner. I texted the proprietress on her mobile phone and said that I had something to do to go to Xiangyang Temple for a night and go back tomorrow. I believe that the proprietress will not ask more. ”

She stood up, walked over to the big tree that shaded them, and caressed it, the thick trunk of the willow tree showed that it was older than the village, and now that the village was empty, it still stood upright, and every year its gnarled branches drooped its fresh green leaves. "Have you ever heard of a local legend that there is a demon in this county? She asked suddenly.

"Yes. "Actually, there's a demon here. Ignoring Li Wei's stunned face, Jane Eyre stared at him firmly and said, "I hope you can help us and punish him with us!"

"But...... I don't know how to spell. "You don't need a spell, Dante will explain the details to you. She glanced at her watch and said, "Xingtian is coming back soon, and in half an hour you will see your old classmates." ”

"Aren't they coming back together?" "No, Dante is in the farmhouse, and Xingtian is secretly watching from a hidden high place near the farmhouse. In order to avoid suspicion that we are all the way with you, our room has only been booked for two days, and before you get up early this morning, we will pack up and 'leave'. ”

Jane Eyre took out a document-like A4 paper print from her backpack and handed it to Li Wei: "You can take a look at this first." ”

This is a job application resume, which is downloaded from a job board based on the format. The job seeker's name, date of birth, ID number, email address and other information are very complete. He is supposed to be 30 years old this year, an undergraduate student in mineral smelting at a prestigious mining university, seeking a job in mineral development. The place of residence is Beijing...... Li Wei was firmly attracted by the name on his resume, and the words of the proprietress in the morning echoed in his ears. He blurted out: "Could it be that this is a college student who went to the construction site of Xiangyang Temple four years ago to steal things and fell to his death while escaping?"

"Hey, yes, you've got it all. Unexpectedly, Jane Eyre expressed her appreciation.

"What are you doing with his resume? Do you want to hire a dead man?" "Hehe, Dante also praised your literary talent, and after listening to your two sentences, I realized that you spoke quite vividly. ”

Li Wei asked vigilantly: "What is your relationship with this Guan Yingcai?" "We really have nothing to do with him, and you probably have something to do with him." "What do you mean?" "Well, there's a picture of him on your resume, so take a closer look." ”
