A day later, in a small clinic in Mudanjiang.

When Xingshu woke up from the carved wooden bed, he didn't realize what was going on at all, and when he turned his head, he saw He Chenxue lying next to him, and there were obvious traces of someone sleeping on the other small bed next to the bed, but that person was already gone.

Where am I? Xingshu stood up, He Chenxue was still asleep, and he slept very soundly. The torture didn't bother her, she got up and put on her coat and walked towards the door, and as soon as she arrived at the door, the door was pushed open a crack, and then he saw a female doctor in a white coat standing there, and said coldly to him, "Awake?" ”

Torture looked at the female doctor and asked, "I'm sorry, what kind of place is this?" Why am I here? ”

"This is the back room of a small clinic in Mudanjiang, which was originally a place for patients who received intravenous infusions." After speaking, the female doctor pushed open the door, walked in slowly, and put the tray in her hand on the table, which contained some medicines, all of which were general medicines, cold and anti-inflammatory.

The female doctor picked up a box of medicine on the plate and said: "Remember to take these medicines, the inflammation in your body has not been eliminated, the respiratory infection is a bit serious, avoid alcohol and smoke, just eat it according to the requirements on the medicine box." ”

Xingshu stood there looking at the female doctor, pointed to the small bed and said, "It's my friend lying next to him, right?" Where is he? ”

"The one surnamed Bai is gone, and he said goodbye without saying goodbye." The female doctor said as she opened the drawer on the table next to her, took out something wrapped in soft foam and brown paper, and handed it to the torturer, "It's yours, you deserve it." ”

The torture technique took the thing, and immediately realized what it was after touching it in his hand, but he couldn't believe it, and immediately opened the brown paper, looking at the bronze mirror inside, that is, the heaven and earth mirror in the Heaven and Earth Mansion that can refract different light and shadows, and at the same time realized the identity of the female doctor in front of him.

"Are you her? Are you the fake branch? Torture raised his eyes to look at the female doctor in front of him.

The female doctor sat down: "Don't call it a fake branch, that's just my temporary identity, I have a name." ”

Torture looked at her and said, "But I don't know what your name is. ”

The female doctor said lightly: "You can call me Ma Fei, my nickname is morphine, homophone, but the former is a horse with the surname Ma, and the grass prefix adds a very non, and I don't need to explain the meaning of the nickname, right?" ”

Xingshu frowned: "Ma Fei? Morphine! Speaking of this, the torture suddenly realized something, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Ma Fei and said, "You are the female thief who stole two ancient paintings worth millions of dollars in Hong Kong and Berlin?" ”

Ma Fei said expressionlessly: "It doesn't matter if I am this person or not, the important thing is that first, you are still alive, you I saved; Second, you have passed the assessment, and we can continue to work together. ”

"That's right! Dynamite! The torturer immediately said, "There are still timed explosives in that cave, call the police immediately!" ”

"Is it too late to call the police?" Ma Fei said coldly, "Since you know that a tragedy will happen, why not stop it before it happens?" ”

The torture technique was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That bomb won't start at all, did you do it?" Those three treasure hunt experts really have a relationship with you. ”

Ma Fei played with the injection pill bottle in his hand: "Yesterday, you made a guess in the cave, and you were half right. It was indeed Liu Zhigang that I found, but one of the three treasure hunters was indeed Liu Zhigang's classmate, but Liu Zhigang overlooked one thing, his classmate was always an employee of the Cusco company, and even if the company was greedy for money, their target was antiquities, not gold mines, and gold mines were useless to them, unless the gold mines were on some island in the high seas. No matter how big and powerful this company is, it will not be stupid enough to be an enemy of the government, just like they used to hunt for treasure in China, but every time they only take one or two things, and not all of them are moved away, which is called leaving a way to live for themselves......"

Torture frowned: "Then they can't go home empty-handed, right?" ”

"Of course not, they just took something from the cave that I could study at my request, because I was the one who judged whether their work was done, not their company." Maffei put down the medicine bottle, "They can accept expatriate assignments, but the premise is only to investigate, if it involves the search aspect, then that's a different matter." ”

Torture nodded: "It's a pity that I didn't get to know these professionals." ”

Ma Fei smiled when he said this, and said: "Liu Zhigang uses favors, while I use contracts and orders, I signed a contract with their company, and they obey the company's orders, compared to what is Liu Zhigang's classmate friendship?" I have also calculated the currents and leylines, and it is clear that as long as the last bomb does not explode, Liu Zhigang will not succeed, and once his revenge plan is over, it will be impossible for him to start again, because he is already in his fifties, and there is not much time left in his life. ”

Torture sat down: "He was always just a poor pawn, and in the end he didn't realize it. ”

"That's the end of today's conversation, your phone was broken by blisters, but there is no problem with the card, I bought a new phone to give you. After putting in the phone, your companion named Yan Gang has been calling you, and you'd better get back and report your safety. Ma Fei got up and straightened his white coat, "Then you can continue to do whatever you have to do, and I will contact you again when the time is right, goodbye." ”

After Ma Fei finished speaking, he went out, and he glanced at He Chenxue, who was sleeping on the bed, remembered something, and immediately chased after him, and asked, "There is something I want to ask you, about Miss He." ”

Ma Fei stopped: "Ask." ”

"First, where is Tian Ke?" Second, Liu Zhigang said that he was never married and could not have children, so why did Miss He's adoptive parents leave that note for her, telling her that Guan Zhiqing was her grandmother? ”

"To answer your first question, Tian Ke has already gone home, as for the second question......" Ma Fei laughed and said, "You are so funny." Why do you think I will know about Miss He? If you want to know, why don't you ask He Chenxue herself? There's no way she doesn't know who her adoptive parents are, right? She can grow up so big, she is always raised by someone, and she can't survive by drinking the wind and swallowing the soil herself, right? But then again, He Chenxue has become a weakness of yours and has taken root in your heart, which is a good thing for me, goodbye, Boss Criminal. ”

After Ma Fei finished speaking, he left, Xingshu stood there and watched her close the door and leave, just as he was about to sit back to check on He Chenxue, Ma Fei's mobile phone rang, he was worried that He Chenxue would pick it up immediately, and then he heard Yan Gang's anxious voice on the other end of the phone: "Xingshu? ”

"'Hades,'" Torturer replied immediately, "we came out, and all three of us were safe. ”

Yan Gang was obviously relieved on the other end of the phone: "It's been a few days and there has been no news, I thought you had an accident, how about it?" ”

Xingshu sat down and glanced at He Chenxue: "The matter is even more terrible than we speculated before, I am in Mudanjiang, you come over quickly, come over and talk in detail." ”

When Yan Gang didn't continue, Tian Lianfeng on the side rushed to say: "Criminal technique, we found an insider of the case here in Tunzi, and now we know what the tragedy was going on, the murderer is not Guan Zhiqing!" Come here! Hurry up! ”

The torture technique responded: "I know that Guan Zhiqing is not the murderer, so let's do it, you wait there, I will rent a car and rush over, and I have to settle Miss He." ”

"Okay, we're waiting for you in Sanyang Township." Tian Lianfeng hurriedly said again, and then heard Yan Gang's cursing, and after a brief goodbye, the phone hung up.

As soon as Xingshu hung up the phone, he heard He Chenxue's voice coming from the side: "Thank you." ”

"What?" Xingshu turned her head to look at He Chenxue, who was already awake, and from her expression, it could be seen that she had been awake for a long time, and perhaps she had heard the conversation between herself and Ma Fei before.

He Chenxue propped herself up, sat there and said, "Thank you for caring about my affairs." ”

Xingshu nodded, walked over and touched her forehead: "You're welcome, how are you doing?" ”

"I'm fine." He Chenxue shook her head, "You go and solve Liu Zhigang's incident, I won't go, I'll go to the train station by myself, and then go back to Harbin." ”

He Chenxue's heart was very conflicted, she had hoped that Liu Zhigang would be her biological father, but after Liu Zhigang made a crazy move, she fell into worry and panic again, until Liu Zhigang himself said that he was not married and had no children...... After that, what He Chenxue would think in his heart, the torture technique could not be known, because He Chenxue returned to his usual indifferent expression.

Xingshu packed up his things, took the Heaven and Earth Mirror, and led He Chenxue away, but when they went out, the two saw the female doctor from before walking out of the next room with sleepy eyes, looking at them and asking very curiously, "Who are you?" ”

Xingshu was stunned for a moment, but then realized that it was that Ma Fei who was disguised as her, and just said: "It's nothing, my daughter-in-law was a little uncomfortable before, I took her to take a look, but after she came, she was fine, so we had to go back." ”

The female doctor frowned and looked at them, and when the two of them left the clinic, she muttered, "Sick...... How did I fall asleep just now? ”

He Chenxue was sent to the train station, bought a ticket and sent it to the car, and when he was about to go to find a car rental deal, he came out and saw the off-road vehicle they had abandoned earlier on the side of the mountain parked at the entrance of the parking lot.

Xingshu felt strange, stepped forward to check, and when he walked over, a passenger who was walking in a hurry flashed past him, Xingshu deliberately flashed, and looked at a note pasted on the car window, which was written in beautiful traditional Chinese - next time you use the car, don't throw it on the side of the mountain, it's very troublesome to find it. Another: the keys are in your pocket.

Xingshu subconsciously touched his pocket, and really found that the key was in his pocket, at this time he realized that the person who flashed by his side before, and immediately turned around to look for it, but where else could he find someone?

"It's okay, I don't have to rent a car." While driving the car and heating up the car, I knew in my heart that it would be difficult to get rid of that woman named Ma Fei in the future, but I should find a way to investigate this person, and after solving the matter of Liu Zhigang, go back and ask the master, the master has many ways to know.

It took several hours to drive to Sanyang Township, I feel that it is farther to go there than into the forest farm, the car just entered the township, and when I turned around, I saw Tian Lianfeng who was shivering and shivering there, after picking up Tian Lianfeng, Tian Lianfeng pointed the way to take the torture into the tunzi, and when I entered the tunzi, the torture saw that there was a sign standing next to it, which said "Guanyin Tun".

The torture technique muttered to himself: "Guanyintun? The name of this tunzi is really ironic for the events of that year. ”

Tian Lianfeng nodded and said, "No, by the way, how did you know what happened back then?" When I listened to the man, I was so scared that I couldn't speak, it was so scary, how could it be like that? ”

"Take me to the insider first, who is he?" Xingshu turned his head and asked, and as soon as he asked, he saw Yan Gang waving his hand on the side of the road in front of him.

The car stopped, Yan Gang got into the car, and then pointed to the front and said: "Go straight ahead, about a hundred meters, turn right, go straight, there are a few poplars at the gate of the courtyard, is the home of the person in the know, this person's name is Liu Wencheng, he used to be a teacher......"

Before Yan Gang finished speaking, the torture technique stepped on the brakes and subconsciously said, "He's wearing glasses, right?" And a son named Liu Zhigang? ”

Yan Gang looked at the torture technique, nodded and said: "Yes, but now he is paralyzed and has been on bed rest, his son hired a senior nurse for him, and originally wanted to take him to the elderly apartment in Harbin, but he was unwilling to go, by the way, Liu Zhigang is not his biological son, he is Guan Zhiqing's child." ”

Torture nodded: "I know, I know all this." ”

After the torture was finished, Liu Zhigang frantically pressed the bomb switch in front of him, and he thought that he had hired a nurse to take care of his adoptive father, and he felt too contradictory.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Gang looked at Xingshu in a daze, Xingshu shook his head and then drove to the gate of the courtyard, and the three of them got out of the car and entered the courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, I saw a photo of an old lady in the middle of the hall, there is no doubt that the photo should be Liu Zhigang's adoptive mother, judging from the age of the photo, it was probably a few years after her death, and Liu Zhigang's adoptive father Liu Wencheng should also be not young, should be seventy or eighty years old.

A middle-aged woman in her forties walked out of the back room, looked at Yan Gang and said, "Here?" ”

Yan Gang nodded, and the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I'll make tea." ”

As soon as he said this, an old voice came from inside the house: "Huiqin, you rest, I'll talk to them." ”

"Oh, good." The middle-aged woman named Huiqin answered, smiled at Xingshu and the others, and went out to leave.

Yan Gang said in a low voice, "This is the nurse. ”

Xingshu nodded, slowly walked into the inner room, and after entering, he saw Liu Wencheng lying on the kang head with a thin quilt, a sallow face, and he couldn't live long. Liu Wencheng's face was full of old age spots, and there were some other pimples on his face, and the sallow yellow on his face was almost above his eyes.

"Uncle Liu, hello, I'm a torturer." Xingshu sat on the kang, but he didn't know how to speak, and he couldn't imagine the cruel things that this old man did decades ago, and now in the eyes of Xingshu, he was just an old man who was about to die.

Liu Wencheng half-squinted his eyes and said "um", and then said, "Mr. Xing, you should have been to Tiandi Mansion, right?" ”

Xingshu nodded and said directly: "I also met your son Liu Zhigang and knew what happened back then." ”

When Liu Wencheng heard this, tears welled up at once, his hands that stretched out the quilt were clenched into fists, and he soon couldn't cry, and he slowed down for a long time before he said: "I'm the murderer, it's my fault, I should be shot." ”

The torturer didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "There is one thing, I don't understand, how did Liu Zhigang know the details of the year, and how did the three records left by Li Mingzhi get into his hands?" ”

Liu Wencheng looked at the ceiling and said: "I didn't have the habit of writing a diary before, but then I did, in fact, I did it on purpose, I planned it a long time ago, and I would tell Zhigang those things when it was right, so I recorded it, and sandwiched the three pieces of paper in it, deliberately not locked it so that he could see it, and when he knew all this, it was just before he was ready to study abroad." I think this can give him a buffer time, so that he can think clearly about what to do in the future, what not to do, how to go, all of them are their own choice, I chose a dead end, no matter what he does in the future, I can accept it, after all, I am a murderer and a murderer. ”

Before Liu Zhigang went abroad, Liu Wencheng deliberately helped him pack his things, and when he packed his things, he put his diary in his luggage, and originally planned that after Liu Zhigang went abroad, he would turn himself in, because he knew very well that the so-called 20-year prosecution period for such a big case could not exist, and as long as it was reported to the Supreme People's Procuratorate, it would definitely be approved.

But Liu Wencheng didn't do that after thinking about it, the reason was very simple, he was worried that these things would affect Liu Zhigang's studies, and when the time came, Liu Zhigang would have to return to China, which would inevitably affect him.

"So I thought, wait for him to come back, make it clear to his face, what he will do when the time comes, it's his business, but if he wants revenge, I will tell him, don't dirty his hands, let him carry the charge of murder, I will decide on his own, so, I have been holding on, waiting." When Liu Wencheng spoke, tears kept flowing down the corners of his eyes, "After Zhigang returned to China, less than five people related to that year survived, many people died of illness, and a few died in an accident when they went up the mountain. No one mentions the matter of that batch of gold anymore, more than a hundred lives, is it worth it for those gold? We didn't ask ourselves back then, but then we all knew that it wasn't worth it, and no amount of money could buy back a life, let alone the lives of more than a hundred people. ”

The torture technique hesitated, it should be said that from the moment he learned that this insider was Liu Wencheng and Liu Zhigang's adoptive father, he almost made up his mind not to say that Liu Zhigang was going to drown Tunzi, because it was meaningless, Liu Zhigang failed, and according to Ma Fei's speculation, it was impossible for him to do anything in the future, because he was already in his fifties and no longer had that energy.

"Mr. Xing, do you believe in retribution? Do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world? Liu Wencheng looked sideways at the torture technique.

Xingshu nodded: "I believe in retribution, but I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but paradoxically, I also believe in the phrase 'there are gods when you look up'." ”

"I believe it." Liu Wencheng said expressionlessly, "I used to be a teacher, an intellectual in everyone's eyes, and a materialist, but after that incident, I believed it, and I could see those people standing by the kang and looking at me every night, they were covered in blood, but they didn't cry or make trouble, they didn't say a word, they just looked at me like that, everyone else was the same, they all said they saw it, so, for decades, no one has slept without stopping, and within a few years, Leizi and several people committed suicide, throwing themselves into the river, hanging themselves, and the police station felt strange, People outside also spread that the yin qi here is too heavy, and many people began to pray to God and worship Buddha, but it was useless, because there were too many unjust souls, but we also deserved it, because even then, we didn't dare to turn ourselves in, we could only desperately try to be good to Zhi, hoping to atone for our sins...... Look at the back of the photo of my daughter-in-law in the hall, please bring it. ”

Yan Gang turned around, went to the hall to get the photo, and handed it to the torture technique.

The torture technique flipped through the back of the posthumous photo and found that it was a photo of a young woman, he didn't need to ask to know that it was a photo of Guan Zhiqing.

Liu Wencheng looked sideways and said: "That's Guan Zhiqing, as long as the people who participated in that incident back then, this photo is placed behind the posthumous photos of relatives at home, and everyone thinks she is a living Guanyin......" Speaking of this, Liu Wencheng closed his eyes and added, "Whether it was before or after that incident." ”

Xingshu looked at Guan Zhiqing's photo, in the photo, she was wearing a white coat and smiling, he couldn't imagine what kind of expression Guan Zhiqing would have on her face after what happened on the day of the crime.
