At night, the train rumbles through the cave and goes around the mountains.

Ding Xiaolan sat in front of the car window, looking out the window at the mountains shrouded in fog and drizzle, and her vision was submerged in a dazzling color.

The traveler in the carriage fell asleep, without a sound at all, as if it were empty. Qi Lu crept down from the top bunk and sat opposite Ding Xiaolan.

"It's two o'clock in the morning, why don't you sleep, what do you think?" Qi Lu lit a cigarette and asked her.

"This trip to Myanmar was like a nightmare, and I still don't know what happened."

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Don't say it's you, it's me, the experience of Guta Village is also the most bizarre and strange thing I have encountered in my life, and I didn't understand all this until the last moment." ”

Ding Xiaolan stretched out her hand and took off the cigarette that Qi Lu was holding in her mouth, snuffed it out, and said with a smile: "Smoking is not allowed in the carriage, you can't take the lead in promoting negative energy." ”

"Alas, this bad habit can't be broken for a while."

"Then trouble our Detective Qi to explain the mystery of Guta Village to me, right?"

"As long as you figure out that all the weird things are for the treasures of Guta Village, then you can see through the truth behind the layers of fog."

"Don't sell it, tell me quickly."

"For this batch of treasures, there are two groups of people, one is Zhao Gui, Long Qi and their subordinates, I might as well call it the bright line; The other group is Zhao Gongming, who claims to be the God of Wealth, this monster who we don't know his true identity now, of course, is a dark line. These two lines intersect with each other and ultimately form the end of the whole event. ”

"Hmm." Ding Xiaolan nodded and said, "Although they have different purposes, they are all to find the treasure. ”

"I'll explain the line first." Qi Lu said lightly: "After Long Qi knew Yang Peng's intention to entrust me to return the key to Yang Yi, he took the lead and led his subordinates to kill the people of Quanguta Village. Although they knew from the villagers that the treasure was in the village, they didn't know where it was buried, and they didn't know how to open the secret passage of the treasure, so they had to disguise themselves as villagers and wait for me to help them find the treasure. ”

Ding Xiaolan sighed lightly: "Their methods are too vicious, they don't hesitate to kill so many people for the sake of treasure, and they are not afraid that the villagers will turn into unjust spirits to come to them for their lives." ”

"For those of them who do all kinds of evil, it is common to kill people and sell goods, and how can they be afraid of revenge! Long Qi's sentence that people die for money is a good proof. ”

Qi Lu continued: "Although Long Qi got Yang Yi's jewelry box, he didn't know why there was no key in the box, but he thought that the key was in the box I carried, so he kept anxious for me to hand over the box to him. But he didn't know that since I entered Guta Village, I had become suspicious of them, so I kept making all kinds of excuses to delay not giving him the box, in fact, I also wanted to buy some time to discover the secrets of the village. ”

"Huh?" Ding Xiaolan exclaimed, "When did you suspect them?" ”

Qi Lu said with his usual grin: "There are two things that make me doubt them. ”

"What two things?"

"One is their daily farm work in the fields, since they are villagers, it is reasonable to work in the fields every day, and it is understandable that Long Qi arranged his subordinates in this way, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating. Because they only go to the poppy fields every day, and do not dare to go to the crop fields. ”

"Why?" Ding Xiaolan was puzzled.

"People like them who are in the underworld have one thing in common, that is, they like to enjoy, how can they grow crops? But the opium poppy is different, they have been going back and forth between the country and the Golden Triangle for a long time, and they have learned some tricks of growing opium poppies. So Long Qi can only play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, for fear of showing me flaws. ”

"But didn't you say that they can make money by growing opium poppies, they can use the money from drug trafficking to maintain the normal expenses of the village, and they don't need to grow rice and wheat like ordinary farmers."

Qi Lu smiled again: "If Guta Village is on the outskirts of the city, your inference is valid. But the village is deep in the mountains and old forests, and if they don't grow some crops to maintain their daily diet, do they have to use the money from drug trafficking to buy food outside the mountains? You have to know, not to mention whether the price is cost-effective or not, even it is a bit difficult to transport the grain back to the village. ”

Ding Xiaolan nodded silently, thinking of the fierce Rohingya along the road when they went to Guta Village, and the people of Guta Village were afraid that they would not even lose their lives when they encountered them.

Ding Xiaolan asked again: "What is the other thing?" ”

"Do you remember the meal we ate that day, do you think it was delicious?"

"It's not delicious, it's better than I made it." Ding Xiaolan didn't know why Qi Lu was interested in this, she looked at Qi Lu and was eager to know the answer.

"People who have lived in the village for decades, will the meals be poorly cooked? This only shows that these people are a makeshift team. ”

Qi Lu laughed hesitantly, and then said: "So when I found the pit where the murdered villagers were buried, when I led the villagers to see it again the next day, it turned out to be the skeleton of domestic animals. I analyzed this incident in connection with ancestor worship, and I realized that it was Long Qi who knew that we had found the earthen pit, so he took advantage of the ancestor sacrifice to replace the animal skeleton and corpse when slaughtering domestic animals. The consequence of what he thought he was doing was unaware of the fact that he didn't know what he was doing was to make me even more suspicious of them. ”

"And how do you deal with it?"

"Well, before I could act, they did it first." Qi Lu said lightly: "Because at this time, the fake Zhao Gongming has already begun to create a series of supernatural events in the village. This made Long Qi and Zhao Gui very uneasy, they were afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so they took the initiative to take action. They drugged me to hallucinate and try to get the secret of the key out of my mouth. But they didn't expect me to be so strong-willed that I didn't say anything. ”

Qi Lu paused for a moment and said: "If they can't make a plan, they will make another plan, that is, they will collectively pretend to be dead, and deliberately put the two boxes together, so that I can relax my vigilance and find the treasure, so that they can secretly follow behind to get the benefit of the fisherman." They did this very successfully, I didn't notice it for a while, and almost died at their hands. ”

Ding Xiaolan laughed and said, "It's a pity that Skynet is restored, and they finally died in the underground palace." ”

Qi Lu's gaze wandered over the empty aisle, he put his hand on his chin, and continued: "Now it's time for me to talk about the dark line, this is the mystery that makes me the most nerve-wracking." ”

"Yes, I now know that all supernatural events are the work of the fake God of Wealth."

"This fake Zhao Gongming City Mansion is quite deep, and he is scheming, I am not his opponent. Fortunately, he is just a monster, if he is a person, he must be a generation of heroes, I don't know how many ignorant people will be tricked into working for him. ”

Qi Lu took out two bottles of Coke, handed one to Ding Xiaolan and said, "He first appeared as the God of Wealth and kept Yang Peng in the dark. Then secretly killed Long Qi's right-hand man and turned into his appearance, thus counting Yang Peng, Long Qi and Zhao Gui. Before arriving in Guta Village, he manipulated the corpses of those dead villagers, frightening the two of us along the way, and then used the disguise technique as an excuse to disguise Zhao Gui and the others as the dead people we saw along the way, and then came to scare us."

Before Qi Lu finished speaking, Ding Xiaolan said hatefully: "At that time, I was so scared that my soul was gone, he was really a pervert." ”

"I don't want to be like that, but it also stimulates my curiosity, so you have repeatedly persuaded me to return to China, but I have not agreed."

Ding Xiaolan turned her head sideways, remembering her actions at that time, her face was a little crimson.

Qi Lu said again: "When the fake Zhao Gongming found out that I judged that the two people dressed as them were impostors based on the fact that the innkeeper and his wife were from the Luotou clan, he temporarily decided to turn into Yang Bo and Yang Ning eating human flesh by the fire, so as to disturb my vision and lead the mystery astray. It's a pity that he did everything he could, but he didn't expect that the heavens were secretly helping me to meet the ghost of Sailei, so that he realized that there was a big mystery behind it, so he agreed to leave Guta Village with you. ”

Ding Xiaolan said: "That's why he set up the illusion to prevent us from leaving Guta Village? ”

"You're not stupid!" Qi Lu said with a smile: "When we returned to Guta Village, the fake God of Wealth was also afraid that the matter would be exposed if the time dragged on, so he put the Rakshasa bone in the box, and then took advantage of the fact that the ancestors were distracted, and attached themselves to the crow to harass everyone. On the one hand, they turned the spearhead at me, and on the other hand, they also intimidated Long Qi to force them to do it early. The Rakshasa bone is a rare evil thing, and few people in the world have heard of its name, so I found out that there are gods and demons behind this incident. ”

Qi Lu took a sip of Coke and continued: "Fake Zhao Gongming saw that this trick did not scare me, so he stunned you and secretly transferred you to other places, so that he could use you to blackmail me in the future." As everyone knows, he did this, which just made me guess that there was a black hand behind Long Qi. ”

Ding Xiaolan scolded: "It's really despicable! ”

"I followed his plan step by step, and it wasn't until I got the jade box in the hand of the statue of Houyi in the underground palace that I knew that the fake God of Wealth was the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Jade box? Is there a picture of him engraved on it? Ding Xiaolan was confused.

"Hou Yi thousands of years ago was not a god, how could he guess that the culprit who framed his descendants was this demon."

Speaking of this, Qi Lu smiled, and his whole expression relaxed, "The surface of the box is engraved with the appearance of exorcising evil spirits and protecting sentient beings. In order to prevent the contents of the box from falling into Xiaoxiao's hands, Hou Yi used Fang Xiang to protect the jade box. God is not afraid of Fang Xiang, only demons and monsters can be afraid of him. At this time, I suddenly figured out, if this Zhao Gongming is a god, why would he bother so much to engage in this multi-hall and kill us directly when I discover the secret way, and he can get what he wants. ”

Qi Lu stopped talking, he drank Coke alone, and there was a relieved expression on his face.

Ding Xiaolan was sullen and sighed: "But the beads still fell into the hands of bad people." ”

Qi Lu put down the Coke and sighed, "Although this matter is over, there are some mysteries that I haven't answered yet." ”

"Are you saying who the fake Zhao Gongming is, and the origin of that mysterious monster like a flower?"

"The identity of the fake God of Wealth is indeed a mystery now." Qi Lu's face sank suddenly, "But the one that appeared in the form of a flower is not the monster you said, she is a real god, a god that no one in the world wants to meet." ”

"You know her? What's so scary about her? ”

"It's not just knowing her, she" Qi Lu stopped at this point, and he said to himself: "Why does she want this bead?" ”

No one could answer his question, and Ding Xiaolan certainly didn't know the answer.

Qi Lu turned his face to look at the dark sky outside the window, only to feel an indescribable worry and indescribable loneliness in his heart.
