Chapter 51: The Midnight Ghost

Gao Kehua, who came home from work, looked so preoccupied that he didn't even have the heart to eat the dinner made by his wife, so he hurriedly took two bites, then went into the study and locked the door with his hand. Since Mei Yuanzheng talked to him, his closed heart for many years was knocked open in an instant, he kept recalling everything in the past, and he had to continue to be embarrassed with Xue Kui on the bright side. This kind of struggle is constantly unfolding in the heart, and the two forces of good and evil seem to be in a state of heads-up, and both sides want to defeat the opponent and occupy Gao Kehua's heart.

Looking back on what he has done in recent years, Gao Kehua is still working hard every day, but he is secretly doing the black business of smuggling coal. In fact, he did not directly participate in the planning and implementation of this matter, it was all Xue Kui and Ge Fukuan's business, but Xue Kui needed his own assistance, or rather, he wanted not to interfere with it.

Of course, behind these things, it also brought him huge benefits, under the corrosion of money, the initial feeling of panic and anxiety has long subsided, and he has become more silent, unwilling to talk more, just silent. While working for the coal mine and working hard, he also worked for Xue Kui and Ge Fukuan, and indulged by default. In the face of Mei Yuanzheng's trust and his family's expectations, Gao Kehua, who is in the middle of two people, no longer knows how to face it.

Gao Kehua has always wondered how the smuggling of coal was carried out after the explosions, but how did these explosions come about?

He and Zou Qi focus on safe production, and in this regard, there is absolutely no selfishness in it, because they are not stupid, if the safety problem cannot be guaranteed, the coal mine will not be able to survive for a long time, and there is no way to talk about long-term benefits. But what puzzled Gao Kehua was that the values were normal and the work was done in place, but the gas explosion accident would still occur silently. The police have no results on this issue, and the detective agency has not found out the clues, so he and Zou Qi don't understand it.

Just before getting off work today, Gao Kehua, who had been holding back for a long time, asked Xue Kui this question tentatively, but Xue Kui ignored him. Gao Kehua secretly felt that the explosion accident might really have something to do with Xue Kui, but he didn't have any evidence.

Listening to the cheerful voices of his wife and daughter outside the room, Gao Kehua's thoughts returned to reality again, he has a happy family, a docile wife, and lovely children, but all of this is possible to be lost at any time after he engages in underground transactions.

Mei Yuanzheng's heart-to-heart words echoed in his ears from time to time, and in the past few days, Gao Kehua has been thinking about how to make up for his past. When he got on the thief ship, he couldn't get off if he wanted to, so he went to consult a lawyer about what kind of punishment there would be for crimes like reselling national resources. After learning that as an accomplice, he would be sentenced to death for his crimes, and he finally made up his mind to end it himself. Because the lawyer told himself that if he turned himself in, especially if he was exposed first, it could offset and great sins. Besides, Gao Kehua knew very well that the explosion had nothing to do with him, and he didn't know anything about the people who died later, maybe it was all Xue Kui and Ge Fukuan, if he reported the murderer, the credit would be even greater.

Gao Kehua didn't dare to call the police, he didn't know who to look for, Xue Kui was very powerful, and he was worried about falling into it. In the end, he decided to confess to the mine manager Mei Yuanzheng first, in order to alleviate his sins lightly.

Tossing and turning, he picked up a pen and wrote a confession, writing down all the private transactions he had made with Xue Kui and the coal boss Ge Fukuan over the years. In addition, it also includes the truth of the concealment of the incident, Gao Kehua knows very well that it was Xue Kui who handled the matter single-handedly, but let the mine manager, who was completely unaware, take the blame for him, and he will also expose this matter.

I worked hard to write, and in the second half of the night, I sprinkled thousands of words, and finally finished it.

Gao Kehua hasn't written so many things for a long time, and he feels that his eyelids are sour, but his spirit is much better, and he is a lot more relaxed after telling the secrets that have been buried in his heart for a long time.

He opened the door of the study and found that the lights outside had gone out, and his wife and children were already asleep. He couldn't bear to disturb them, and he couldn't bear to say goodbye, he didn't know what kind of punishment he would get after seeing Mei Yuanzheng when he went. Perhaps, the mine manager will take him to turn himself in, or he will beat him violently in anger, these are not important, since he intends to explain the problem, he will accept any result, his purpose is only to atone for his sins, just to save his life, so that after he comes out, he can spend the rest of his life in peace.

Gao Kehua finally returned to the study, wrote a few more lines, and left them on the desk. This was left for his wife and daughter, and he didn't dare to petition in person, so he simply stayed at home in the form of words.

He put on a black coat, a black felt hat, and black adhesive shoes, and made his whole body look black, and went into the dark of night. Although it was an inaccessible time, Gao Kehua was still afraid of being recognized, he chose this point, just because he didn't want to meet anyone, so he went directly to the mine manager Mei Yuanzheng.

There is no wind tonight, it is warm and cold, and the temperature is rising. But Gao Kehua, who was walking on the road, still felt very cold, and he also felt that there was a faint wind behind him, which was blowing on his body. He looked back, and there was darkness behind him, and there was nothing under the dim streetlights. He continued to walk forward, and in front of him was an alley, and it was also a short way to Mei Yuanzheng's house, where there were no street lights.

Gao Kehua walked in, and he could barely see the road, and the moonlight in the sky was also faint and black. He had to fumble around, but he didn't want to take out his mobile phone to take a photo, if he used the light, he would let others see him. The pedestrian who hurried by on the opposite side passed by Gao Kehua's side, he was very cautious, and unconsciously lifted the collar of his coat up, although in the dark night, he could not see the other party's appearance clearly, and it was naturally not easy for others to see him.

Continue to walk, the former is about to go out of the alley, this road Gao Kehua is still very familiar with, and after passing, you can see Mei Yuanzheng's home.

Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind blow behind him, and he appeared without warning. This wind is very unusual, because since I went out, there has been no wind at all, and it has made Gao Kehua very uncomfortable. He was so uneasy that he didn't dare to turn back, so he accelerated his progress and walked out of the dark alley in a few steps.

But he didn't know what was on the ground, the frightened Gao Kehua tripped under it, he didn't see it, his center of gravity leaned forward, and he fell directly. Ignoring the pain, he tried to get up quickly, but his body was pressed by a force that he didn't know where it came from, and he couldn't move.

In a daze, a heart-piercing pain in his neck made him even more unable to get up. His eyes began to drift, and the thoughts in his mind began to be confused, and he saw the beautiful face of his wife, and the lovely figure of his daughter, and then, he could not perceive the existence of his limbs, and finally lost consciousness and fainted.
