1 Horror of the Ancient Desert Chapter 3: Something in the Dark
"Hello, what happened to this family?" I asked the security guard, "Why are you pulling the cordon?" The security guard looked at me and said to me, "That's right, the old man of this family has passed away, and according to the upstairs resident, when he went to work in the morning, he saw the door of this house wide open, and he was curious. By the time he went to save him, the old man was out of breath. ”
I asked, "How so?" Why did the old man suddenly think of committing suicide. ”
The security guard looked at me again and asked, "Do you have any clues?" Why do you ask so much? ”
I shook my head again and again: "No, no, no, no, I have a good relationship with the old man, I just came to ask, what happened to the old man?" The security guard looked around, but didn't speak, I took out a pack of Chinese stuff and gave it to him, the security guard looked at it, put it away, and said with a smile: "That's the case, you must keep it secret, when this old man was carried downstairs by the forensic doctor, the body was gone." ”
"What? It's gone," I asked, dumbfounded, "how could it be gone?" Didn't you look for it? ”
"It's just gone, but it frightened us, but fortunately there were few people at that time, and in the end, everyone looked for it, but when they didn't find it, the forensic doctor and the police closed the team, and it was classified as a suicide, and I was sent to stay here for a while." After the security guard finished speaking, he repeatedly told me not to spread the word. I nodded, descended the stairs, and went back to my home. As soon as I entered the door, Boss Ye asked me, "What happened?" Who died? I sat on the sofa and said to Boss Ye, "It's nothing, that Jiang Ah Gong upstairs hanged himself." ”
"Ah Gong Jiang? That Ah Gong Jiang who is said to be friends with your grandfather? Boss Ye played with his mobile phone and asked.
"That's right, it's that Jiang Ah Gong, you know, he saved our lives last night, why did he suddenly ...... Alas" I shook my head and sighed, thinking of what happened last night, Ah Gong Jiang, must have encountered something bad.
Boss Ye also sighed: "I guess it's too lonely, I can't live anymore, I heard you say that he is an empty nester." Alas, by the way, you said he saved us last night? ”
I nodded, "Yes, something bad happened last night, he rushed down to save us, and then asked me to go to the bookshelf in his study to find something." But now it seems that it is definitely impossible to enter through the main entrance. ”
"What's going on, why don't I know?" Boss Ye asked with a confused face, "Hey, you can't enter the front door, how can you enter?" ”
"I'm going to get in through the window, I'm going to ask you for help tonight." I stared at Boss Ye, didn't allow him to refuse, and said, "It's decided, we'll do it tonight." ”
At this time, a phone call came in, it was my uncle! I picked up the phone, and the uncle over there said, "I heard that you were admitted to Northwest University of Literature and History, isn't it archaeology?" Inherit the ancestral business, you can. ”
"What is inheriting the ancestral business, I am a regular major, not yours." I said angrily.
"It's all the same, that, why don't you come back during the summer vacation, your grandmother and I miss you very much. Come back and see, I'll teach you some techniques on the ground, and then you'll show your hand to others when you go to school. The uncle said again.
"Okay, okay, don't be kidding, uncle, let me ask you, what is the relationship between Grandpa Jiang and our family?" I started to get serious and asked.
"What's the relationship? The old man knows the right thing, what's wrong, suddenly mentioned him? ”
"He died, hanged." I said, I could feel the uncle on the other side of the phone pausing obviously, and then hesitantly said, "Dead?" Forehead...... Did he explain anything? If you have an explanation, you can help deal with it, I still have something to do, I'll talk about it another day. Uncle hesitated and hung up the phone.
I slumped on the sofa, desperately wanting to know what Jiang Agong was going to give me, I even wanted to get that thing now, but it was definitely not available now, in full view, there were security guards, I didn't want to cause some trouble, so I still got it done at night.
In this way, Boss Ye and I stayed at home for a day, played games, ate something, and Boss Ye contacted a friend to prepare some ropes and other items.
In the evening, the sky darkened. I took a look at the staircase light and saw that this time it was on. When I returned home, I tied a safety rope around my waist and hung the other side on the iron railing, and Boss Ye said to me: "Don't fall, I can't pull you if I fall." I said angrily: "I can't say something good, I'm also a last resort" Boss Ye laughed: "Okay, okay, I'll help you watch it below, you can go with confidence." ”
I grabbed the water pipe outside the corridor, the old-fashioned residential building, the drainage pipe is very thick, I can catch it with a light jump from the canopy, I climbed along the water pipe to the canopy, stepped on the canopy and grabbed the window edge of the old man's house, and opened the window cautiously. I made a support movement and fell in as soon as I rolled over......
As soon as I landed, I squatted, untied the safety rope and put it on the edge of the window, looked around, let myself adapt to the darkness, I didn't dare to turn on the light, took out the small flashlight on my waist, turned on the shimmer, I tiptoed towards the study, the layout of the room is actually the same as my home, so it is not difficult to find where the study is. But after all, it was the first time I went into someone else's house to pick up something like this, and it felt like I was stealing, and my heart was beating non-stop.
I went into the study and found the bookcase, the bookcase was quite large, it was full of layers of books, there were four layers of transparent in total, and below was a cabinet with a sealed door, I looked down from the top, and there were atlases and the like in the top row, which were found in all countries, and I opened the door and touched it, and there was no bulge, it didn't seem to be any dark grid. Looking at the second floor, the second floor is full of famous history books and archaeological books, and this layer is nothing special. On the third floor, there are some feng shui books such as Qimen Bagua scattered placed, which are nothing special. The fourth floor was empty, but there were quite a few envelopes, and I checked it carefully, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Since there was no situation on the upper floor, the dark compartment must be in the sealed cabinet below, and I opened the two cabinet doors, and the dust from the shop hit my nose, and I hurriedly resisted the urge to sneeze. There are some sundries on this floor, some of which I recognize, such as Luoyang shovels and feng shui compasses, yellow table paper, etc., but some I don't recognize.
I wondered where this dark grid was, reached in and touched it, knocked lightly, this mold knocked on me and found a raised place, like a button, pressed it a few times, no response, I stretched out my hand back, wanted to find other places, then the wall next to the bookcase made a creaking sound, it turned out to be so, dare to love this thing is old and slow to react.
I took a flashlight and shone it in the dark compartment, and found that there was a small delicate box inside, which should be engraved with something, vaguely recognizable, engraved with the shape of a wolf-headed human body, and some should be some kind of text, I don't understand, so I didn't look carefully, put it in my pocket, and then touched into the dark grid, and found a stack of paper and a few thin books, I took them all out and put them in my pocket.
After all, this is the place where the old man died, and with what happened last night, I think this house is cool and gloomy, and I just want to go back quickly, and I don't want to stay here for a moment. I put everything back in place, the uneasiness in my mind became heavier and heavier, I quickly put away the flashlight, ran back to the window, opened the window and turned over, hooked the safety rope, stepped on the canopy in one go, leaned out again, closed the window, and inadvertently glanced at the location of the uncle's study.
At this glance, I saw a terrible thing, on the floor of the uncle's study, I don't know if there was something lying on my stomach, like a person but not a person, it was too dark to see clearly, moving slowly, I was startled! I almost fell off the canopy, I didn't dare to take another look, jumped on the water pipe next to me, and slid to the window of my house, fortunately, Boss Ye's fat head kept sticking out and looking up, and when he saw me coming down, he grabbed me and pulled me in with his strength......
As soon as I came in, I collapsed on the sofa, panting heavily, and I ignored Boss Ye's inquiries next to me, and after a while, I said to Boss Ye: "I got the things, something is wrong in the uncle's house." ”
