Section 4: Inducement
At one o'clock in the afternoon, I left the police station and returned to the clinic. As soon as I entered www.biquge.info the room, Tian Fang greeted me with a smile and helped me take off my black coat.
"Master, let's eat!"
Taking off my coat, I felt relaxed, "Tian Fang, what do you think of my character?" β
Tian Fang's expression was surprised...... What's wrong with you? β
I didn't say anything, I came to the back room and sat down, looking at the food on the table, Tian Fang was sitting aside.
"What's on your mind?" Tian Fang asked.
I breathed a sigh of relief, "I shouldn't have asked about your private affairs, but the purpose of your coming to town makes me wonder. β
Tian Fang explained, "I just like it here, it's a coincidence to study medicine with you, it's really nothing!" β
"However, I heard Yuan Min say that you handed Fu Xiaohui a piece of paper the night before yesterday. And last night, she died in the toilet at the station. Later, the police found a piece of paper from her, which I had seen, and it was a prescription for thirst quenching disorder. I added, "I know very well that Zhang Ruonan has thirst quenching disease, and she is your friend." I want to know, is the paper you gave Fu Xiaohui a prescription? Also, were you entrusted by Zhang Ruonan to hand over the note to Xiaohui, you say. β
"Iβ" When it came to the critical moment, she wept again and remained silent.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the clinic closes. I had just sat down when the landline phone rang.
I answered the phone: "I'm Dr. Hou. β
"Are you free for the evening?"
"You're Ma Tong!" Listening to the accent, I recognized him.
"That's right."
"What are you looking for me?" I asked.
"At eight o'clock in the evening, I'll pick you up. You must be very interested in this matter, goodbye. β
"Wait, waitβ" Before I could finish speaking, Ma Tong had already hung up the phone.
At this moment, I sat stunned. Immediately, I closed my eyes and slowly recalled, and suddenly, I remembered that at noon today, Ma Tong told me about Ms. Hu and Tian Fang. I think his implication has something to do with it!
Two hours later, it was dark outside the window. Just when I was worried about Ma Tong's gaffe, there was a bright light outside the window. At the same time, the sound of car engines also came.
In a moment, the door of the clinic was pushed open, and one person came in.
"Hehe, Dr. Hou, let's go?" Ma Tong smiled, his plump cheeks squeezing his eyes.
"Are you going to the Houshan cemetery?" I asked.
Ma Tong nodded, "That's right." He also emphasized, "I let you go for another purpose." β
"Oh! What purpose? "I'm curious.
"You have to be careful of Tian Fang!"
I was shocked, "What's wrong with her?" β
In an instant, Ma Tongyi's smile disappeared, and his face was extremely grim: "That night, I peeked at her digging a pit in the garden, and she muttered, 'Master, this pit is yours!' ββ
"What! No way! "I don't believe it.
Ma Tong said, "The foreman in charge of the construction told me that Ms. Hu had instructed that Tian Fang's garden was not allowed to be moved. Moreover, the garden is to be walled. On the surface, it shows that she has a good relationship with Tian Fang, but I think it's not! β
"You meanβ" I looked at Matong.
"That's right, there's an ulterior secret between them!"
"What is it?" I pressed urgently.
"I think, yes-" Before Ma Tong could finish speaking, there was a sound of glass breaking outside the clinic. We ran out and found a broken piece of his Santana window. Moreover, there is also half a brick in the car. I guess this is just a small warning to him!
Eventually, we set out on our journey.
Along the way, the "old" Santana was noisy, but Ma Tong still drove with pleasure. Perhaps he was accustomed to the hustle and bustle of life.
Soon, we approached the back hill, but I always felt a bright light behind the car. And when I turned around, there was no vision.
"What are you looking at?" Ma Tong asked me while driving.
I said, "There seems to be a light behind it." β
ββ¦β¦ There was indeed a bright light just now. But in the rearview mirror, the light disappeared at a great distance. β
"MaybeβI did it myself." Inside, I'm still worried.
Near the back mountain, the car stopped. We got out of the car and walked towards the construction site. As far as the eye can see, the lights ahead are bright, and the noise of machines resounds through the mountains.
"Selling dog meat on the head of a sheep." I said as I walked.
Ma Tong stopped and looked sideways at me, "In these years, as long as you can make money, you will acquiesce in making mistakes." The town government sold Houshan to Ms. Hu, which was a win-win deal, and I had to cooperate. Otherwise, I won't end well. β
"Isn't it? I feel like you're gifted. β
"Talent? What talent? β
"The gift of being a bad guy."
"Huh!" Ma Tong smiled but did not speak.
Arriving at the construction site, we entered the makeshift shed. There was a man sitting across from me, wearing a dogskin hat and a military coat, and drinking. The window behind him was half-hidden, shaking, "whirring" to let in the air.
"Yo! Chief Ma, sit! He stood up.
"Why do you drink alone, what about Dong?" Ma Tong asked.
"You say my brother? Ms. Hu had something to do with him and left. β
We sat down, and Ma Tong introduced me.
"That light, this is Chinese medicine Hou, I brought him here to inquire about some things." Ma Tong said.
The light looked at me, and suddenly his face changed dramatically...... Dr. Hou, what do you want to ask? β
I suddenly felt that he had a special accent: "You're not a local?" β
Naguang nodded, "That's right, including these workers, they are all my fellow countrymen!" β
"I heard that there is a basement to be built here?" I asked.
ββ¦β¦ My brother said it, but there was such a thing. Butβ" The light looked behind me, and stopped talking.
I looked back and saw a tall man in a straight suit walking into the shed.
"Brother, Village Chief Ma is looking for you!" That light said.
I understand that this man in a suit is Nadong.
"Don't drink it! Get out and take a look! β
"......" Naguang looked displeased and got up to leave.
Na Dong exchanged a few words with Ma Tong and looked at me, "You are ......"
"I'm Hou Ting, and Hou's TCM Clinic is mine."
"What's wrong with you?"
I shook my head, "No, I'm just curious, I heard that there's going to be a basement here, right?" β
Na Dong looked at me with sharp eyes, "This is chasing the wind and shadows, there is no such thing at all." β
"Hey! What did you say yesterday? Ma Tong was annoyed.
"Yesterday? That's just lip service. The real purpose is to plant fruit trees, and digging a pit is to make a cellar! Nadong said simply.
"It seems that you have gotten the benefits." I say.
"Huh!" Na Dong's face sank, and his tone was cold, "Those who cure the disease do not cure the disease, and they are lenient!" β
This kind of atmosphere, it is impossible to talk about it. Inadvertently, I looked out the window and noticed that someone was looking at the dirt slope not far away with a telescope in hand. In an instant, the peep grinds his head and runs away! I realized that the light behind the car just now was not a passerby!
The east cross eyebrows and cold eyes made us unhappy. As soon as he walked out of the shed, Ma Tong cursed.
"This bastard! To talk is to fart! I also looked at you coldly, if I don't fix him, I won't be surnamed Ma! β
As I walked, I comforted him, "Na Dong will go here and reach a consensus with Ms. Hu." He is tough and arrogant, in order to cover up the hypocrisy of his heart. The more he quibbled, the more he confessed to lying. In a sense, it's not worth it that you get angry with a pawn. β
ββ¦β¦ Ms. Hu bribed him just to make him change his mind. Is this so important? β
I said, "Maybe Ms. Hu is a drunkard, not because of the wine, behind the basement, there may be another mystery!" β
"Well, since I heard all this, I've suspected that too." Ma Tongyi changed the conversation and said, "When I learned that Ms. Hu was going to build a fence for Tian Fang's garden, I realized that the relationship between the two was extraordinary. Therefore, I am full of curiosity about Tian Fang's garden! β
"Oh! Do you really think so? "I looked at Ma Tong.
"I think, it's better to see than to hear, let's go and see?"
"......" I hesitated.
"Tian Fang said to leave a pit for you, don't you want to see it?"
This sentence hit me right in my heart, and I nodded, "Okay." β
Not far from the cemetery is Tian Fang's house. Her house and hundreds of surrounding households have all turned off the lights. Therefore, only the cold moon in the sky is the only light. A few minutes later, we stood by the wall, and Ma Tong took out the aluminum alloy telescopic ladder from the car. With the help of a ladder, we tiptoed into the garden.
Ma Tong turned on the flashlight and shone it on the wall, "A few days ago, there was still a fence around her home, but I didn't expect it to turn into a stone wall so quickly!" He whispered.
My eyes followed the light of the flashlight: "Why are there pits everywhere here?" β
"Look here!" Ma Tong pointed to a deep pit.
I looked, "So deep!" β
"That night, I peeked through the fence, and the location of Tian Fang's pit was here! This pit is for you! β
"Oh!" I gasped, looked around instantly, and I remembered Tian Fang's words, "...... I'm going to bury the turnips and potatoes because they will rot in the house, so it's best! β
However, the garden is full of deep pits, which are out of reality. Therefore, the more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became.
Suddenly, there was the sound of glass breaking outside the wall. I had already guessed that another piece of Matong's car window glass had been shattered. Obviously, this is the stalker's second warning, and perhaps the last.
With a "bang", the door of Tian Fang's house was slammed open! Under the cold moon and strong wind, a woman with a shotgun in hand rushed towards the garden! I knew she must be Tian Fang, but how did she know we were here? Besides, why is her murderous aura so strong!
At this point, we wanted to hide, but it was too late. So, we looked at Tian Fang, who was rushing over, and stood awkwardly.
