Chapter 17 Things Must Have a Reason
Leng Yue sat on the edge of the bed, seemingly a little insane, and repeatedly muttered "The fourth grandfather will not commit suicide" Wu Nian appeared by the window with his hands behind his back, and his heart was also confused, if it wasn't suicide, how did the murderer get in, and how did he escape from the scene? And who will be the middle-aged man who kidnapped Leng Yue? Is there really a ghost in this world?
Two people died in the Zhao family in two months, and rumors spread in the village, the most said was that they had collided with ghosts, and the price of touching Zu Xun was too great, and one person would have to die within 100 days.
Leng Yue, who was already depressed, became even more silent when she heard these rumors, it seemed that she was the one who died last night, and she became a different personality after being reborn today!
Since Wu Nian and Leng Yue got engaged, he rarely went home, Zhao Jianbang specially arranged for a family member to go to Uncle Wu's house to help, after all, it was the opposite family, and it was a matter of course, this family named Zhao Jin came to Wu Nian, and spread the word that Aunt Wu asked Wu Nian to take his daughter-in-law home for dinner at noon!
In the pavilion in the courtyard, six plates of home-cooked side dishes, a small pot of chicken stewed mushrooms, this is the traditional cuisine of the Northeast, Uncle Wu deliberately put a bottle in the cellar for several years, and was reluctant to drink the porcelain bottle wine taken out, the village retains a simple life, the cellar is generally in the vegetable garden, more than five meters deep, warm in winter and cool in summer, Uncle Wu thinks that the valuable family is locked in the cellar, including this bottle of wine!
Uncle Wu seems to know what Leng Yue has happened to in the past few days, there are four wine glasses on the table, Aunt Wu doesn't drink, obviously she wants Wu Nian and Leng Yue to drink some too, as the saying goes, a drunk relieves a thousand sorrows!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zhao went out for a walk with interest, Aunt Wu held Leng Yue's hand, gently stroked it and said, "Girl, you have experienced too much during this time, I have wronged you, I am also deeply sympathetic to what happened to the Zhao family, how did you two discuss the clues about the murderer?" ”
Although Aunt Wu knew that this was a fake name, she liked Leng Yue from the bottom of her heart, and she also regarded Leng Yue as her own child, Wu Nian shook her head and replied, "Mother, we don't have any clues, I really don't know where to start."
Leng Yue hasn't rested well in the past few days, today I borrowed wine to kill my sorrows, I fell asleep on Wu Nian's shoulder, and when I heard a slight snoring, Aunt Wu motioned to help Leng Yue into the house, and then I had something to say to Wu Nian!
When Wu Nian sat down on the table again, Aunt Wu said with a serious face, "Since you have already participated in this matter, you have to do it clean and beautiful, have you ever thought about why the murderer wanted to kill the Zhao family?" What a hatred that must be, I always believe that there must be a cause for things, and there must be an effect."
"It's been exactly 18 years since our family moved to this village, and when I first came, I heard the villagers inadvertently mention that the Zhao family seems to have a treasure, and it is priceless, from the fact that the Zhao family can open up a mountain and become the head of a village, it can be seen, I wonder if the murderer is running for this treasure, so you can take this as a clue to follow, and I also have a little relationship with this treasure many years ago"
The two of them sat in the gazebo and whispered, but they didn't know that in the grass not far away, Zhao Jin listened to a passage word for word, and remembered it in his heart, but his mother's carelessness laid the root of the curse for the future!
Wu Nian returned to his room, holding Leng Yue's hand, looking at Leng Yue's slightly tired face distressedly, unconsciously sleepiness struck, Wu Nian fell asleep lying on the side of the bed!
Zhao Jin trotted all the way back to Zhao's house, and quietly walked towards Zhao Jianbang's room, Zhao Jin repeated the conversation between Wu Nian's mother and son just now to Zhao Jianbang, but he never mentioned the last sentence, although he was Zhao Jianbang's confidant, but in front of the huge banknotes, the word loyalty seemed pale and weak!
"Sure enough, as I expected, Wu Nian is not just for my girl, they are still worried about the treasures of my Zhao family, even I only know a little bit about it, they dare to be delusional, you go back and continue to stare at the Wu family, and report to me immediately if you have every move" As he spoke, he took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Jin, which is equivalent to Zhao Jin's half-monthly salary! Zhao Jin agreed and retreated!
At the foot of the mountain, five kilometers away from Miaotou Village, a military jeep stopped, and a long-haired young man walked down from the car, with two May Fourth pistols pinned to his waist and a moon-white Tang knife in his hand, and walked towards the mountain, looking down to check the footprints as he walked, because it was raining on the day Leng Feng chased the murderer, and there was almost no one on this mountain all year round!
The mountain is not too high, about 200 meters above sea level, the green grass was trampled down into a string of footprints, followed by the footprints through the poplar trees, Leng Xing climbed to the top of the mountain, you can see Miaotou Village here, although it is not too clear, but who smokes from the chimney during the day, who does not sleep at night, you can still see!
However, the two series of footprints reached the top of the mountain not at the end, but continued towards the back of the mountain, and after walking for about ten minutes, the two sets of footprints became a series of walking down the mountain!
Leng Xing has practiced martial arts since he was a child, his vigorous skills and keen perception are not ordinary people, and soon he found that a lawn has been touched by people, it seems to be higher than other places, Leng Xing casually took out a Tang knife and lightly picked the lawn, so it is, there are crossed bamboo grates under the lawn, and below is a three-meter-deep trap, under the trap stands more than a dozen oblique bamboos, as expected, Leng Feng is lying peacefully below, the bamboo in his right hand is covered with tooth marks, a bamboo penetrates his right leg, and his left leg is naked and exposed, It seems that the left trouser leg was torn off by Leng Feng and tightly tied to the root of the right leg......
