Chapter 51: The Man in the Black Hood

The fat man pursed his lips and said, "Let them tie up, fat man, I'll eat the poor them." ”

I was amused by the fat man's words and said to him, "Maybe people don't care about food, but only with their fists." ”

The fat man was stunned, then he straightened his stomach and said, "That also tires them." ”

Liu Rumei was also amused by the conversation between the two of us, and the tense atmosphere just now eased a lot. Fat people have this effect, and they can always make people relax unconsciously.

"Okay, jokes aside, we'll have to plan what we're going to do next." I calmed down and said calmly: "First of all, I don't think they know the situation yet, including the fact that the three of us entered the underground cave, because the person who entered the cave with us is dead, and in addition, the only one who knows about this is Uncle Zhou, and I don't think he will tell it." ”

Liu Rumei nodded in agreement.

I continued: "The second is that although they suspect us, the three of us have been in the mountains for a very short time, and there is no direct evidence to prove anything, so I don't think they will do it blatantly, but will secretly engage in small actions such as surveillance and bribery." ”

Liu Rumei frowned slightly, and then nodded.

"What about this last ......," I muttered, "I think that being too nervous might arouse their suspicions, so we have to pretend that nothing is going on, and that everything is going on as usual, but we have to be careful about everything." ”

The fat man looked at Liu Rumei and nodded, and asked, "Xiaoliu, do you understand?" ”

Liu Rumei probably didn't react to what the fat man meant, and was stunned for a while and didn't know how to answer.

"I don't understand a word, and I don't understand Xiaoyanagi's expression either." The fat man continued, "I only know that we have not offended them, and we have not done anything bad, so we have to avoid them for the sake of wool." ”

Liu Rumei is embarrassed, I am embarrassed.

Although there is nothing wrong with the words of the fat man, I always feel that there is something wrong with the entry point. I felt that I shouldn't go around the bend with him, and I should tell him more or less what he didn't know before, so I said to him: "Here's the thing, the little five that those two people said is the one who died in the hospital, and we know each other." ”

The fat man's eyes widened, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know the one named Xiao Wu." ”

"This ......" I scratched my head, knowing that it would be troublesome to talk to the fat man, and the channel was wrong.

"You say, you say." The fat man saw that I was crazy, and said on the side: "I won't interject, you speak first." ”

I calmed down for a moment, and then said, "We went up the mountain earlier, and the Kong Yaohua who followed us all the way knows?" ”

"Uh-huh." The fat man nodded, his mouth tightly closed.

I continued, "That person is the dead Little Five. ”

"Huh?" The fat man glared, surprised.

I continued: "The man who went into the rift with us was him. ”

"Huh? Well? The fat man was puzzled, frowning and humming.

Looking at his appearance, I asked, "You want to say that it is Wen Xianbao who is acting together, right?" ”

The fat man nodded.

"Pretend." I sighed and said, "Yi Rong, it's like you met that Wen Xianbao in the bar, just looking like it." ”

The fat man continued to glare.

I ignored him, and continued: "This person named Xiao Wu may have pretended to be Kong Yaohua and infiltrated the archaeological team first, and the purpose may be to investigate the ruins on the lonely mountain. ”

The fat man probably understood and nodded.

I continued: "When we found the crack at the archaeological site, he should have secretly observed it, and then he pretended to be Moon Hyun Po and entered the crack with us, waiting for an opportunity to find something. ”

The fat man continued to nod.

I continued: "At first, I couldn't understand why those insects sealed the entrance to the cave, but now that I think about the sudden disappearance of the stone crack, maybe he also did it, he must have used something similar to medicine to make those insects block the hole, mainly for fear that we would bump into Wen Xianbao when we returned, so as to see through his tricks." ”

The fat man frowned, but did not speak.

I continued: "This would explain why he didn't talk much along the way, and when he got to the cave where the clay jar was kept, he deliberately got away with us with a vampire worm, and then he went to find something on his own, only he didn't expect it, and then we left on our own, and he himself was trapped inside. ”

"Huh?" The fat man stared, puzzled.

I waved at him and said, "He was unconscious inside, and after being found by the archaeological team, he was taken to the hospital and put under surveillance, and he died for no reason last night. ”

"Huh?" The fat man glared.

"This person is the companion you met at the bar." I continued: "Although these people did not participate in the excavation, their knowledge of the ruins on the lonely mountain is far better than that of you and me, and it is very likely that this information was obtained through other sources. ”

The fat man finally couldn't hold it back anymore and asked, "You mean they already knew that there was something under the lonely mountain?" ”

I pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe they have information about the Yuren clan in their hands, such as ancient books that are the same or even more complete than the Xiaoliu family, so they know some records, but the Central Plains is a vast land and they have nowhere to find it for a while, and it was not until the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau submitted an application for excavation that they knew that what they were looking for was in the lonely mountain." ”

The fat man asked, "So what are they looking for?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, maybe it's the bead we took." ”

The fat man's eyes widened, and after listening to me in amazement, he said, "You mean we took what they were looking for."

I nodded, and Liu Rumei also nodded.

"Tut-tut......" The fat man smacked his lips and said, "It's still the fat man's extraordinary move, and he casually exchanges the baby they are looking for." ”

I had a black line in my face and said, "That's not the point. ”

"It must be worth a lot of money...... the fat man ignored me and continued to chatter.

I said with a dark face, "The point is that what they were looking for was taken away from us." ”

"Take it away, take it, and besides, I didn't take it, why are you murdering me?" The fat man was unhappy, pointed to Liu Rumei and said, "She took it." ”

I went crazy: "You're selling your teammates too fast!" ”

The fat man said calmly: "I'm just stating the facts. ”

Liu Rumei watched from the sidelines, and didn't interject, just giggled.

The fat man saw that I didn't speak, and asked seriously, "So, what should we do next?" ”

"Pretend it's okay, it's business ...... as usual," I said, and I suddenly felt speechless, why bother telling him if I had to pretend to be okay.

The fat man pouted and disdainfully: "Waste is really waste, I said a lot of words, and I didn't use a dime, and in the end it was business as usual." ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to me, but turned his head to chat with Liu Rumei, leaving me messy in the wind......

In this way, the life of the antique shop is business as usual, and the business is getting better and better in general, because with the addition of Wen Bo and Xiaojie, I don't have to stay in the store every day, and I feel tired and occasionally go out for a walk. The fat man is still ethereal every day, and he doesn't know what he's busy with every day. Liu Rumei would also go around the store from time to time, and occasionally pull me to eat at a food stall. I couldn't feel their nervousness at all, as if I was the only one who was the most nervous in the whole thing.

Later, I learned that while we were doing nothing, because of Wen Xianbao's disappearance, the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau became a mess, and it is said that even the provincial bureau called Wenhui came. Think about it, after all, the missing person is his person, not to mention what he is also plotting, losing Wen Xianbao is equivalent to losing his eyes and arms, and it is reasonable that he can't sit still. Another busy unit is probably the Municipal Public Security Bureau, on the one hand, it has to withstand the pressure from above to find Wen Xianbao; On the other hand, it is necessary to deal with the person who died in the hospital, and the tricky thing is that the person there does not have an identity file in the public security system, in other words, legally that person does not exist.

Liu Rumei's news is still very well-informed, and these things from the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Public Security Bureau were also learned through her. In addition, she also found out that a group of people went to Lonely Mountain after the archaeological team withdrew from Lonely Mountain, and I think it should be the group assigned by Qiao Er. At the same time, she also followed up on the hospital's side, and the hospital also completed an autopsy on the person who pretended to be Wen Xianbao, and the result was sudden death caused by an air embolism, and the forensic conclusion was murder.

I think the man in black and hood who appeared in the hospital should be the old fox in Qiao Er's mouth, but I don't understand why he killed the person who pretended to be Wen Xianbao. As both sides of the competition, there is no need to kill an opponent's outcast, unless he is trying to kill him. If it is to extinguish the mouth, then the dead man must know some secret, perhaps he has been forced to tell this secret to the man in the hood in black. But what could be the secret? Could it be a matter of going into the cracks? If that's the case, then will the man in the hood in black find the three of us next? Thinking of this, my scalp tingled, and I always felt that this plague god would appear in front of me in the next second.

People tend to be more afraid of something, and just when I was worried about meeting the man in the black hood, he suddenly came into my sight.

At that time, after handing over the shop to Wen Bo and Xiaojie, I walked aimlessly on the pedestrian street by myself, still thinking about what had happened in the past few days, when I suddenly noticed a man dressed in black and wearing a hood sitting on a bench on the side of the street. I couldn't see his appearance clearly, he seemed to be fiddling with his phone, his hood was pulled low, his black mask covered most of his face, and the only thing he could see was a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and a pair of eyes behind the lenses.

Sensing that I was looking at him, he raised his head to glance at me, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then put away his phone and turned away.

I was left alone, overwhelmed.
