Chapter 18: The Absolute Letter
Shen Li's movements were so fast that I had no chance to stop them, so I could only hold my breath.
Then, the big box opened, and the first thing that caught my eye was an ordinary envelope, and under the envelope, there was another clay pot that was smaller than the big box.
It's just that the clay pot is wrapped in hemp rope, sealed like a zongzi, and in the gap where the hemp rope is entangled, a piece of yellow paper is exposed, which seems to be a yellow symbol......
I felt an inexplicable chill in my heart, and Shen Li directly picked up the envelope on the crockpot.
I endured the chill and didn't look at the crockpot again, leaned next to Shen Li, looked at the envelope, and only saw the word "Qi" written on the cover of the envelope.
Kai, of course, means to open.
Shen Li followed and looked at me, I nodded with a calm face, she didn't say much, opened the envelope and went down, and then, a letter paper and a bank card slid out of the envelope.
Shen Li dragged the bank card in his hand, and then leveled the letterhead, I looked along, but when I saw the first sentence on the letterhead, my heart was stunned.
"Whoever it is, by the time you read this letter, I should have been dead......"
Grass...... Lao Chu already knew that something would happen to him!
"And since you can see this envelope, it means that there is a fate between us, then I beg you to do one thing for me.
That was to burn everything in this box within three hours of my death, within a hundred steps of my corpse!
This is very important to me, as a reward for having a sum of money in the bank card and the password is 198563.
Remember, it must be within three hours, it must be within a hundred steps of my corpse, and it is better not to tell anyone about it!
As for my death, please tell my ex-wife not to grieve, because by the time those people found me, I had already calculated that I would be today.
I, Chu Xun, the only thing I did wrong in my life was to give up the idea of suicide when I was wandering when I was young.
If I had to do it again, I would have jumped off the bridge at that time, so that I wouldn't have gone astray with him, and those people wouldn't have found me because of him.
Chu Xun, the last pen. ”
After reading it, of course, I couldn't calm down.
In addition to Chu Xun's explanation of his death, this letter also mentioned that when those people found him, he had already calculated that there would be today.
It is very obvious that the people mentioned by Chu Xun are very likely to be the 'people' who stole the sky in my car accident a year ago!
Yes!
Chu Xun had not retired at that time, and was a police officer in the bureau.
After stealing from me in the crash, 'those guys' found him and asked him to falsify the crash file.
And at that time, Chu Xun had already counted to today, because ...... Because he knows how terrible 'those people' are!
Not only that, but this letter also contains a very important message for me.
When Chu Xun was young, he had a wandering life, indicating that he was probably an orphan.
He wanted to kill himself, but he was saved by someone, and because of this, after stealing from me in the car accident, 'those people' found him through the people who saved him, and asked him to falsify my file from the car accident a year ago.
"That's ...... so"
I was thinking about it, and Shen Li, who was also contemplative, opened his mouth again.
"What's wrong, Shen Li? What do you think of? ”
I hurriedly asked.
"I wondered before, Lao Chu was originally a criminal policeman, and it was not his duty to record car accident files.
It turned out that it was 'those people' who, through the people who saved him when he was younger, found him and forced him to falsify your file on the car accident you had a year ago.
And according to what Lao Chu said in his letter, the person who saved him, after saving him, went astray, which shows that the person who saved Lao Chu is not a good person, and even more so, he is a person who is with 'those people'.
In other words, as long as we find the people who saved Lao Chu when he was young, we may be able to find the 'people' who stole the day in your car accident a year ago! ”
After Shen Li finished speaking, I nodded, but she pointed to the clay pot in the big wooden box.
"So, Jiang Wangsheng, fulfill Lao Chu's last wish, go to the living room and burn this thing."
"Why didn't you go, how can you say that you also worked with Lao Chu."
I was puzzled, and Shen Li shook his head again.
"It wasn't me who heard Lao Chu's instructions before he died, but you, which shows that the person who is destined to be said in Lao Chu's letter is you, besides, if I hadn't worked with Lao Chu, then I would never let you burn these things, because these things belong to evidence.
And since Lao Chu said it in the letter, let's burn it, although I don't believe in these, but after all, it is Lao Chu's last wish. ”
After Shen Li finished speaking, I didn't refute, and went to the living room with the big box.
In the living room, Lao Chu's wax corpse still maintained the posture of stretching out his hand, and I didn't dare to look at it more, so I found some books to make a fire, and threw the clay pot wrapped in hemp rope and yellow charm into the fire.
Of course, I don't know why Lao Chu let others burn these things after his death, and I didn't think about opening the crockpot tied to the hemp rope and yellow talisman.
This big box is engraved with soul talismans, and this clay pot is sealed with hemp rope yellow paper, it is very likely that the soul talisman outside the big box is only the second insurance, and the first insurance is the hemp rope yellow charm on this clay pot.
In other words, what the soul suppression talisman really wants to suppress should be in this crockpot, Lao Chu didn't let us open it, of course I won't die to see it.
However, when I threw the clay pot into the fire ignited by the book, I found that there was still a layer of things at the bottom of the big box.
I frowned and took a closer look, only to see that it was a suit of bright red clothes.
This garment has been pressed by the crockpot, so we didn't notice it just now, but the bright red color of the garment......
My heart was a little hairy, and Shen Li's voice came from the direction of the bedroom door behind me.
"What?
Jiang Wangsheng, do you think that Lao Chu wants to become a powerful ghost after death?
Can you read less quirky magazines? ”
I turned around, and Shen Li leaned against the bedroom door with his hands on his chest.
"You also know the ghost in red, doesn't that mean that you haven't read less bizarre magazines?"
"But I don't believe it."
Shen Li replied without hesitation, came to me in a few steps, wrung out the red clothes in the big box, and threw them on the clay pot in the fire.
For a while, the fire was raging, and Shen Li stared at the firelight, but the look on his face gradually became cold.
"I don't believe this, I only know that God is clear, and I will definitely let 'those people' be punished as they deserve!"
Gritting his teeth, I knew that Shen Li was really angry.
It seems that she and Lao Chu have formed a friendship when handling the case, otherwise Lao Chu would not have drunk with her at the celebration banquet, let alone tell her the secret of his small treasury......
In this way, until the fire burned the crockpot and the red coat to ashes, nothing wrong happened, but my heart was a little chilly.
I turned my head to look at the window of the living room where the night breeze was blowing, and in the blink of an eye, I could see a faint flash of red in the moon that was about to set......
There was nothing unusual, after sweeping away the ashes, Shen Li and I waited for the police officers in the house, and at the same time used our mobile phones to search for the news that in the past twenty years, the east of the city was a piece of the city, and the suicide jumped off the bridge.
Now, Lao Chu's clue has been broken, but we have discovered another clue, and this is a hidden clue, a clue that 'those people' must never have thought of.
This clue is the person who saved Lao Chu when he was young!
This person is not the insider or party involved in my car accident a year ago, but since 'those people' can find Lao Chu through this person and force Lao Chu to forge a fake file for my car accident a year ago, then we can also find 'those people' through this person after finding this person!
This point was definitely unexpected by 'those people', because they didn't know that Lao Chu's bedroom was hiding such a pair of suicide notes, which was an uncontrollable outlier for 'those people'!
In this way, after a while, when the morning sun rose outside the window, there was a knock on the door of the living room.
Shen and I left the door, thinking that the police officer who received my call to the police had come, but after opening the door, I found that it was not the police officer, but a woman......
The woman looked like she was in her thirties and forties, dressed in casual clothes, and carrying two oversized plastic bags filled with various fruits and vegetables.
It's like the elders always buy a lot of food before they go out, and stuff the refrigerator of the younger ones who can't put their minds at ease.
"You ......"
The woman looked at me and Shen Li, her expression was full of puzzlement, and she even glanced at the house number a few times, as if she thought she had made a mistake.
"You're Lao Chu's wife, right?"
Shen Li reacted, but the woman shook her head and smiled awkwardly after being stunned for a moment.
"Don't get me wrong, we ...... We got divorced a year ago......"
After the woman finished speaking, the big bag full of melons and fruits in her hand fell into the corridor with a "snap".
For her gaze had already bypassed us and looked into the living room in the door......
"That'...... Is that! Is that Chu Xun? ”
The woman's mouth trembled and her eyes widened, and the whole person froze in front of us.
"I'm sorry, Lao Chu had an accident......"
Shen Li sighed, took out the bank card in the envelope from his pocket, and handed it to the woman.
"Lao Chu asked us to tell you, don't be sad for him, he already knew that there would be such a day, this bank card was left to you by Lao Chu, and the password is 198563......"
"Impossible...... No way! ”
Without waiting for Shen Li to finish speaking, it was as if there was something in her words that stimulated the woman, the woman staggered back, leaned against the wall of the corridor, and collapsed in the corridor, crying into tears......
