"A plant that can absorb the soul of a living person?" Hearing Lin Miao's words, I couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Is there really such a weird plant in the world?" ”

"Of course there is, but the environment in which they grow is not accessible to ordinary people, so they are not known to the world." Lin Miao replied.

"No wonder ......"

Old Fat muttered: "Ever since Na Li Guofeng picked out the White Orchid from the Shuanglong Cave, I have always felt that something was wrong, this kind of wrongness is not in words and deeds, but it just feels wrong. ”

"This flower is so weird, could it be that it killed Li Guofeng?"

"Plants don't dig out human entrails." Lin Miao said lightly.

"Anyway, as long as we find out who that white orchid is, maybe that person is the murderer." As I spoke, I looked at the old fat.

Lao Fei took a deep puff of cigarette at this time, and when he saw me looking at him, he almost choked, and scolded and scolded: "Lao Yan, Lao Tzu has told you so much, are you still suspicious of Lao Tzu, or are you not a brother?" ”

"Brotherhood is one thing, greed for money is another." I snorted coldly: "Just like you said before, kindness is one thing, and hatred is another, and it can't be confused. Besides, what you say is not true, and the devil knows if you are telling the truth or not? What's more, that white orchid was not mentioned by anyone except you and Li Guofeng, and Lin Miao and I didn't see it with our own eyes......

"You suspect I'm making up stories?"

When Lao Fei heard my words, he was immediately unconvinced and said: "Please, brother, I didn't know about the existence of such a plant as Bai Youlan in advance, how could it be a story?" If you don't believe me, ask my brothers and sisters who went up the mountain with me yesterday to see if what I said is true or false. Besides, the person was brought out by Lin Miao from the Shuanglong Cave, how could he not see it? ”

"You just go up the mountain by yourself, and secretly ask Lin Miao to go up the mountain, so that I can guard it myself, how can you say this?" As I spoke, I looked at Lin Miao.

"I saw the flower."

Lin Miao said lightly: "But I didn't think that it was the legendary Bai Youlan before, although I noticed something different, I didn't think too much about it." ”

Lao Fei said next to him: "I took Lin Miao up the mountain, didn't it to prevent accidents?" After all, his ability should not be underestimated. ”

"So...... Before you start your ascent up the mountain, you've already calculated that you're going to go to Ssangyong Cave, right? I asked with a sneer.

"Don't blame me? If you want to blame this matter, you have to blame, who told you to tell me about the mountain god Niangniang, and worship her god position all day long? Such a peerless beauty lives in the mountains, but can't meet each other, how can it not make people curious? Lao Fei shirked his responsibilities.

"Hehe, in this case, in the final analysis, I have to blame for this?" I gritted my teeth.

"Of course, you think you can shirk your responsibilities and stay out of the way? If it weren't for Huang Yuting's old love for you, she wouldn't have brought someone up the mountain, and this wouldn't have happened. What's more, although you and I guard the mountain together, in the final analysis, the real person in charge of this mountain is you......"

I was so angry that I scolded: "Lao Tzu didn't want to shirk responsibility, but you can't escape, and you know that you are in trouble every day." ”

"Why is Lao Tzu in trouble?"

"Li Guofeng, did you know each other a long time ago? What is his relationship with your cousin Li Guodong? I asked coldly.

"How does this Lao Tzu know? Lao Tzu and the one surnamed Li are not the real old watches, the girl accepted Lao Tzu's money, and only then agreed to give me this errand, otherwise do you think he has such a good heart? ”

"Good! So the question is, why did you come to Heavenly Mountain? ”

Now that the words have been said so clearly, I don't plan to hide it, I opened the skylight and said brightly: "What do you want to do here?" ”

"What? Naturally, it's about finding money, it's about living! Lao Fei said confidently: "Do you think it is so easy to find a job?" ”

"Young and looking for a job as a mountain watchman with a low salary? Who are you fooling? Still for life? ”

"Although the salary is not high, this industry makes extra money quickly! The exotic flora and fauna of the mountains are not money? You've heard it before, an orchid picked up from the Shuanglong Cave is worth tens of millions. ”

"Okay! You are not here to guard the mountain at all, but to steal from the animals and plants protected on the mountain to fill your pocket. ”

"Are you embarrassed to say me? Aren't you also a guard and a thief, stealing the most valuable treasure on the mountain? ”

"What did Lao Tzu steal?"

"You stole a life, you stole a woman!"

"You ......"

Anger rose in my heart, I was so angry that I threw away the cigarette butt in my hand, rolled up my sleeves and was about to fight with Lao Fei, and scolded: "You ungrateful and conscienceless dead fat man, if Yan Xiaoying and I hadn't gone into the 100,000 Mountains to find an antidote, you would have reported to the Yama Palace." ”

"Call me fat? Lao Tzu hates people calling me like this the most, and wants to fight? Who's afraid of whom? The old fat scolded: "It's been a long time since his mother saw that you were not pleasing to the eye." ”

Just when we were arguing more and more intense, and we were about to stage a big battle, Lin Miao stood up, stopped us, and said expressionlessly: "Fighting can't solve things." ”

When Lao Fei and I heard this, we both snorted coldly and remained silent.

Lao Fei sat on the ground and lit a cigarette, handed me another one, and hummed: "No matter what you think, it has nothing to do with me at this time, although Lao Tzu is greedy for money, he has not reached the point of killing for money." ”

I took the cigarette from the old fat and didn't answer.

After sitting like this for more than an hour, Li Guodong finally came up the mountain with people.

He only brought one person, because it was the Chinese New Year, and the town was already short of manpower, so it was already good to be able to come in person.

We didn't say anything more and took him directly to the reservoir to see Li Guofeng's body.

As I had guessed before, when he saw Li Guofeng's corpse, his face changed, and he said uncertainly: "Li Guofeng, how could he die here?" ”

I explained to him in detail what I knew, and then asked him what was the relationship between Li Guofeng and him?

Li Guodong said that he and himself are members of the same family, they are clan relatives, and this person is his cousin. But the clan relationship is also estranged, and the relationship between him and this Li Guofeng is not so close.

So after the initial shock, he quickly calmed down.

After that, we brought him into the house, and Li Guodong acted vigorously, using the hall as an interrogation room, and called people in one by one for questioning.

And the person he brought was examining the corpse, and Lao Fei was in charge of entertaining him.

After interrogating everyone, Li Guodong and Lin Miao, I, and I searched the tents set up on the embankment one by one. Although Bai Youlan was not found, he knew that there was a secret on one side, and Yang Feng and Li Guofeng had a very close relationship in private.

The person in charge of the autopsy came back and reported: "The fatal wound of the body was in the chest and abdomen, as if it had been torn apart by a sharp object, and the deceased had a high alcohol content, but not to the point of alcohol poisoning, and it was initially suspected that he was killed." ”

Having said that, Li Guodong and I both know that this matter is probably not that simple, and his death alone cannot be handled as an ordinary case.

Now the biggest suspicion is Huang Yuting, Li Yong, and Yang Feng, of course, Lao Fei can't be ruled out.

However, I don't know if Li Guodong didn't embarrass Lao Fei too much because of my relationship with Lao Fei, but he took Huang Yuting, Yang Feng and Li Yong down the mountain for further interrogation.

Originally, according to the rules, they should have brought Li Guofeng's body back for further autopsy, and the follower brought by Li Guodong also planned to do so.

But in the end, Li Guodong shook his head, and did not take Li Guofeng's body away, but gathered it in the courtyard, and asked me to take care of it.

He told me that he had contacted Li Guofeng's family, and that they would soon be on the mountain, and that if there was a dispute at that time, let us discuss how to deal with it.

Of course, he will also explain the situation to Li Guofeng's family in advance, so as not to make them too emotional.

Li Guofeng led a group of people down the mountain, and the rest of the classmates who went up the mountain to gather also followed.

There are only three people left in the courtyard, Lao Fei and Lin Miao, of course...... There is also the body of Li Guofeng.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Guofeng's family heard the bad news and hurried up the mountain.

Although Li Guodong had already made a statement, after all, it was the pain of losing a child, how could Li Guofeng's parents give up so easily, coupled with the hot personality of the old fat, they quickly quarreled.

After some tossing, at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, everyone finally calmed down and negotiated.

Li Guofeng's father is a retired soldier who has joined the army, although he is emotional, but after all, he was a strong man and is not an unreasonable person.

He didn't ask us for anything...... But there is one thing, he hopes that his son's funeral can be held on the heavenly mountain, and that we will have to pay all the expenses, and that the body will be buried on the mountain.

As for the murderers, Li Guodong had already communicated with them, so he didn't feel too embarrassed.

Li Guofeng's parents' request is not excessive, this incident happened in the jurisdiction of Heaven Mountain, and they didn't ask for compensation, and they didn't find a lot of noise above it, which was already a lot of face for me and Li Guodong.

So, we happily agreed.

Although private burials are not allowed on the mountain, the rules are set by people. The three-day and two-night funeral was a big deal, and the cost of it was more than 100,000 yuan, but I had to swallow it by myself.

Fortunately, the money left by the old man is enough to support such a funeral, otherwise there is really no way to count on Lao Fei and Lin Miao.

Of course, Li Guofeng's family can't stop there, but just handle the funeral and settle the deceased. Wait for Li Guodong to catch the murderer, and then make a plan.

There is nothing to say, we comforted Li Guofeng's parents, it was getting late, so we temporarily placed them in the room where Lao Fei and Lin Miao lived.

Lin Miao and I, as well as Lao Fei, squeezed into a room.

After entering the room, I immediately called Yan Xiaoying and asked her to help order a coffin and send it up the mountain tomorrow morning.

Before hanging up the phone, I asked her to help find a group of mutterers who were overdoing things to go up the mountain.

At midnight, I heard a terrible cry coming from outside the courtyard, and when I opened the window, I saw Li Guofeng's mother lying on Li Guofeng's corpse and crying bitterly.

The heart-rending cry, the sorrow of the white-haired man to the black-haired man, made me uncomfortable for a while.

Where there is thought, there is emotion, which is the biggest bond between people.

Lao Fei and Lin Miao and I nested in the room, like a child who had done something wrong, and I felt so guilty that I didn't dare to go out to comfort him......
