Chapter Twenty-Four: Speculation of Horror

The torture technique put the removed hard drive on the coffee table, but She Caixiang was far away, because in the video, the injured person who was bitten was lying on this coffee table, as long as she saw it, she would think of that picture, and her stomach couldn't help but start churning again.

The torture technique and the pictures that Chen Taidong will see below are all explained in words, Ma Fei and Sikong Yan were dumbfounded when they heard it, and after finishing speaking, Sikong Yan was stunned for a long time and asked, "Is it really fake?" ”

At this time, Sikong Yan and Ma Fei also repelled the coffee table, but their reactions were not as exaggerated as She Caixiang.

"You didn't see it before, you should have heard it, right?" As you said, there are also voices from the video coming from the stereo upstairs, and judging from the picture, those things did happen. ”

Ma Fei looked at the hard drive: "In the last paragraph, someone should be guiding us to Qinglian Village." ”

"Not to guide us, but to guide him." Chen Taidong looked at Sikong Yan, "We came here for an accident, the key was sent to him, Sikong Yan, think about Liu Baogu, was there anything particularly strange about him before, did your father explain anything to you before leaving?" ”

Sikong Yan tried to recall: "No, my godfather's person has always been a bit of a god, and he likes to say something that others don't understand, my dad said it's philosophy, I think it's pretending to be ......."

The torture technique asked, "Liu Baogu should be very rich, right?" Who's richer than yours? ”

Sikong Yan said: "I really don't know this, but he is indeed very rich, and I want to know that he has opened a mine in Inner Mongolia for so many years, and no one believes him if he has no money, otherwise where will he get the money to repair this kind of villa?" At the current price, the ground and the ground are underground, not to mention tens of millions of dollars. ”

She Caixiang asked from afar: "Then did he suddenly owe debts or something?" ”

Sikong Yan remembered something at this time: "Speaking of debts, I really remembered one thing. ”

Chen Taidong asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you know how to gamble on snow?" Sikong Yan asked, "Last winter, my dad went to play snow gambling with someone and lost three million, if I remember correctly, my godfather should have led him there." ”

Chen Taidong was puzzled: "What is gambling on snow?" ”

Criminal art explained: "In the past five years, in Heilongjiang around some rich people in private a kind of gambling, very boring gambling, because a year can only be so big bets, so all bet on the so-called snow, is to bet on the first snow of the year when it falls, divided into three periods, based on the Harbin urban area, divided into the national calendar October, November and December three months, first bet on the approximate month, and then bet on the specific date, the deviation before and after the date can have 3 days, if you win the month first, you will win the first money, and then win the date, that is, the tail money, I've heard that in the highest year, the stakes were tens of millions. ”

Sikong Yan immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's that broken thing!" Hurt a lot of people, because this thing, relatively fair, no one has the ability to cheat, so, in the past two years, more and more people have gambled, who the organizer is, I don't know, but the rule is, if there is no snow from October to December that year, then the dealer eats all the gambling money, is it possible that it does not snow in the Northeast? But there was a year when it really didn't fall, and it didn't snow until New Year's Day, and it was still artificially snowed, so everyone except the dealer lost that year. ”

Torture nodded: "Yes, it seems to be 2012, right?" It was indeed snow that year did not fall until New Year's Day, and I also knew that the dealer made a lot of money that year, who was the dealer, let alone me, even my master didn't know, it was very mysterious, and I didn't know where it came from, but, listening to what you said before, do you suspect that your godfather lost money and deliberately pulled your father into the gang? your daddy? ”

Sikong Yan replied: "I thought so too, but this is what my father told me out of desperation after losing this money, I am afraid that I will not be able to plug the hole, because it is the money used to flow in trading, but it is also strange that since that day, my father and my godfather have been moving more and more closely, and they have to meet for tea every day." ”

Chen Taidong interrupted Sikong Yan's words at this time: "Isn't it? Judging from the video, Liu Baogu seems to have stayed here for the past few years, how could he take your father to gamble on snow last year, and why did he drink tea with your father every day? ”

Sikong Yan also looked puzzled: "I don't understand this either, but last winter, my godfather was indeed in Harbin, and I would see him from time to time, I swear!" I really swear! ”

She Caixiang muttered on the side: "This old man knows how to doppelganger? ”

"How is that possible?" "But it's also strange, how did he do it?" From Harbin to here, even if it is a plane and a car, it will take six hours, he is so old, it is impossible to run around like this every day, and besides, from the analysis of the video, Liu Baogu should have stayed here all the time. ”

Chen Taidong said: "Maybe it's the video of the year before last, not necessarily last year, now we shouldn't dwell on this matter anymore, we won't come up with the answer if we want to break our heads, the answer is to find out." First investigate who that Li Fengxia is, call that phone number and ask, and then, we will rest for a day and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

She Caixiang was stunned: "Do you really want to go to Qinglian Village?" ”

Chen Taidong said: "Why don't you go?" Originally, the purpose of our visit was to find Tang Sirong, but now we just kill two birds with one stone. ”

The torturer asked, "Uncle Chen, do you want to call the police?" ”

"At least three died, and they were involved in a cult, and they had to be called to the police, but we left so many fingerprints and traces at the scene, maybe in the process of solving the case, we will be involved and can't say clearly." Chen Taidong looked very distressed, "This matter is too complicated, but there must be a coincidence, we came to the villa to find Liu Baogu, it is the biggest coincidence, it is estimated that the person who sent the key to Sikong Yan did not expect us to appear." ”

Ma Fei kept pondering, and the torture technique asked, "Ma Fei, what are you thinking?" ”

"Coincidence, I'm thinking about coincidence." Maffei raised his eyes and said, "It's a coincidence, but I think we should think bigger." ”

Torture asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Ma Fei said: "I don't think only Liu Xiangui and Liu Baogu know about the events of the year, and after dawn for a while, I want to go to the town to inquire around." ”

Chen Taidong said: "Okay, in this way, go your separate ways, no matter what, sleep for two hours first, and then Xingshu and Ma Fei will go to inquire about the news, and She Caixiang and I will stay here to call and ask about that Li Fengxia." ”

Sikong Yan immediately asked, "What do I do?" ”

Chen Taidong said: "Cook! ”

10 minutes later, Sikong Yan brewed 5 bowls of instant noodles with different flavors and served them on the coffee table.

……

Two hours later, after Xingshu and Ma Fei left to inquire about Qingliangou, Chen Taidong also asked She Caixiang to dial the phone number found in the corner of the basement of the underground villa.

The phone was quickly picked up, and She Caixiang asked, "Excuse me, is Li Fengxia here?" ”

The other party replied with a big grin: "I am, who are you?" ”

She Caixiang hesitated, glanced at Chen Taidong, and asked: "Hello, I am here in the labor company, I have an incomplete identity information here, and your phone number is left on the emergency contact, do you have any relatives who go out to work?" ”

When the other party heard this, he immediately asked, "Which labor company are you!?" My sister's name is Li Fengxi! Do you know where she is? Where are you? ”

She Caixiang said: "We are a labor-management company in Sichuan, please ask, is Miss Li Fengxi your own sister?" ”

"Yes! It's my own sister! Which one are you in Sichuan? Li Fengxia asked anxiously, almost crying when she heard the voice, "Where is my sister?" ”

Chen Taidong pointed to the questions written in advance on the paper and asked She Caixiang to ask them one by one.

She Caixiang looked at the questions on the paper and asked, "Don't worry, we are also cooperating with the police to find your sister, now we need you to verify the relevant questions, when did your sister leave home to work?" Did you explain anything before you left? ”

She Caixiang asked one question after another, and after the other party answered, Chen Taidong pieced it together and speculated the general idea of the matter - Li Fengxi, who lived in a certain tun in Daxinganling, left home after the Spring Festival last year, before leaving home, he said that he was going to work in Daxinganling City, two months later, he went to Daqing, and after another month he arrived in Harbin, Li Fengxi also had telephone contact with his family, and basically sent some messages through his mobile phone every day, two months after arriving in Harbin, The message began to decrease, and after half a year, the message was basically completely cut off, and several fellow villagers who left home with her also cut off contact with the family at that time.

But before completely cutting off contact, Li Fengxi once called her sister, to the effect that she told Li Fengxia to pay attention to her body, saying that she would go home at the right time, return to her hometown, and take her most precious things with her, so that her sister should not worry about it.

Li Fengxia didn't think too much about it at the time, and then her sister disappeared, she felt strange when she recalled this sentence, she obviously said that she wanted to go home with the most precious thing and return to her hometown, why did she let her sister not worry about it? At that time, Li Fengxia realized that something was wrong, something might have happened, and then went to the police.

Because there is no way to investigate this kind of disappearance, after the police station reported it, it coordinated with the relevant departments of the provincial department to investigate, and after a detailed investigation, it was found that these missing people had not taken a train or plane, at least not with their own ID cards, so that not to mention finding someone, even if it was to find clues, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

And most importantly, where they work in Harbin, simply does not exist.

After inquiring about Li Fengxia, She Caixiang informed her that the police would contact her in the near future, so that she should not worry, and the labor company would also cooperate with the police to find Li Fengxi's whereabouts.

Chen Taidong looked at the villa he was in: "Depending on the situation, it's not making money at all, all the people who were deceived are migrant workers, and these people don't have much money, and they haven't asked their families for money." ”

She Caixiang looked at the coffee table with palpitations: "Just a simple murder?" ”

Chen Taidong still shook his head: "If Liu Baogu is a serial killer, he will definitely not get so many people at one time, there must be something behind this matter that we don't know yet, and most importantly, why did Liu Baogu leave so many clues for Sikong Yan?" What does he want to do? ”

She Caixiang also said: "Also, what happened after they entered that mountain stream back then? ”

What happened after entering that mountain stream?

When Xingshu and Ma Fei inquired in Qinglian Town, they learned that as long as there were elderly people in this town, most of them knew the story of Liu Xiangui and other 5 people who fled into the mountains back then, and in the end, only Liu Xiangui and Liu Baogu came back one after another.

Yes, the story, people here regard that as a story, and one of the most important reasons is that there were so many dead and missing people in those years that there was a missing person in someone's family, and after everyone listened to it, the reaction was similar to that when the family lost a chicken.

Therefore, when Liu Xiangui and Liu Baogu returned, several versions of this story were derived, of which there were four of the most circulated.

In the first version, Liu Xiangui and Liu Baogu killed the other 3 people because they were fighting for food.

In the second version, Liu Baogu killed the other 4 people, but Liu Xiangui was lucky not to die and fled back first, but he was stimulated and became crazy.

The third version, the reason why these 5 people fled into the mountains was that Da Liu deceived them, in fact, Da Liu was a spy, and originally wanted to take them to the enemy, who knew that Liu Xiangui and Liu Baogu repented halfway and ran back on the way, but they were afraid of being held accountable, so they had to say that the other 3 people were dead.

And the fourth version, which is also the most widely circulated version, and more importantly, the people who tell this version claim that it was relayed by Liu Baogu himself back then-there is a demon town in Qingliangou, and all the monsters that live in it are man-eating monsters, Da Liu, Liu Yuwa and Liu Weidong were all eaten alive by monsters.

"Skinned alive?" When Xingshu and Ma Fei returned to the villa to recount the incident, Sikong Yan asked in a skeptical tone, "Isn't this nonsense?" Where did the youkai come from? ”

After Sikong Yan finished speaking, he looked at She Caixiang on the other side, but She Caixiang's eyes were looking at the coffee table, which made Sikong Yan also think of the video content they talked about, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked in a low voice: "Then, the people in the video have become like that, it won't be because of monsters, right?" ”

Torture frowned, "Do you think it's possible?" If there are really monsters, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to build two villas underground and aboveground. ”

She Caixiang looked at the room: "But, don't you think you are really cautious here?" ”

The torture technique asked Chen Taidong, who had been pondering: "Uncle Chen, what do you think?" ”

Chen Taidong raised his eyes and looked at him: "The Tang family of Southwest Iron has always lived in Qinglian Town, and the so-called Qinglian Town I learned from Tang Sirong should be Qinglian Gou. And the clues left by Xing Renju back then pointed directly to the Southwest Tietang, so it happened that someone disappeared in Qingliangou back then, and what is even more incredible is that there are many versions of this matter, and there are different opinions, but one thing remains the same. ”

Ma Fei said: "Liu Xiangui and Liu Baogu both came back alive, one became crazy, and the other went out to make a fortune. After many years, Liu Xiangui lived an ordinary life, and Liu Baogu made a fortune and came back to build this villa. ”

Chen Taidong said: "Don't forget, when we first met Liu Xiangui, he said that he knew that we were from the north at a glance, and he also knew that we were here to hunt for treasures, and also said that there are two treasures in Qingliangou, one is cast iron, the other is red stone, cast iron has to have iron ore, red stone is Dansha mine, Liu Baogu later also went to Inner Mongolia to open a mine, is there a connection?" ”

As soon as Chen Taidong said this, Sikong Yan remembered something: "When you say this, I remember, my dad said, my godfather, is Liu Baogu, although he was born in a coal mine, but there are two iron mines in Baotou, Ulanqab grassland, Baiyun Obo mining area, but the iron mines there have been losing money, and there are not many people, but my dad said that he seems to spend money to occupy it, and he doesn't really mine, I don't know why." ”

Chen Taidong and Xingshu glanced at each other, the two pondered, and for a long time, Chen Taidong asked Xingshu: "What are you thinking?" ”

"I have a bold guess, but it's just a guess. ”

Chen Taidong said: "Tell me about it, let's see if we want to go together." ”

"This has to start with the clues left by Xing Renju in Qinglian Town, just imagine, all the clues left by Xing Renju after that, from another point of view, are actually similar to traps, once you deviate from the direction, or if you are a little careless, you will die without a place to be buried, and at the same time, it can be seen that Xing Renju actually doesn't believe anyone, and the matter of Jiacuo Hall can be seen, even if his best friend accompanied him, but in the end he betrayed him, he must have guessed this a long time ago, but he still wrote the route, why?" Xingshu looked at the crowd, "Because he knows that the way to Jiacuo Hall is dangerous, and after entering, it will be a life of nine deaths, even if you find clues, it is not easy to follow the clues to find the real Qinglian Town, based on these clues, how can Xing Renju believe the people of the Southwest Tie Tang family for no reason?" ”

Chen Taidong nodded vigorously: "Therefore, he dared to leave the clue to the people of the Southwest Tie Tang family, and guessed that the descendants of the Southwest Tie Tang family would follow this clue to find Qimen, maybe the place that this clue refers to is Inner Mongolia, the Tang family did not have the ability to go to Inner Mongolia at that time, and after waiting for decades, it was passed down from generation to generation, and it was passed on to Tang Sirong, she decided to put this matter into practice, in 1960, five young people surnamed Liu strayed into Qinglian Gou, Tang Sirong may have chosen one of them, Liu Baogu, and taught him something, Let him go to Inner Mongolia. ”

Ma Fei thought for a while and said: "That's right, in the version of the story circulating in Qinglian Town, there is a version of the story that says that Liu Baogu killed the other 4 people, but Liu Xiangui was lucky enough to escape first, but he was stimulated and became crazy, and it took a long time for Liu Baogu to come back, and there were many elders who said that they did come back one after another, not together." ”

Xingshu said: "So, what happened to Liu Baogu during his stay in Qingliangou? No, we have to go to Liu Xiangui again and ask what happened back then. ”

"Without further ado, go quickly." Chen Taidong got up and said, "I took She Caixiang and Sikong Yan to the town to purchase things for use in the mountains, and when you come back, we have to hurry up to Qingliangou, I'm worried that if I don't go, something big will happen." ”
