As soon as I took a step back, my feet suddenly sank, and I felt as if I had fallen from a great height.

I was shocked, and I woke up suddenly, and found that I was still in the elevator, curled up in the corner, but there was a real person standing in front of me.

The other party looked a little unpleasant, and asked me in a gloomy voice, "Why are you still here?" ”

This person was well-dressed, with hair covering his ears, and it was Qi Tong.

At this time, I had already judged that the 'fall' just now had really brought me back to reality from the 'unreal'.

I stood up against the wall, and when I saw Qi Tong staring at me for a moment, I shook the document bag in my hand at him, "Assistant Meng is drunk, I'll come up and get the contract for her." ”

"Meng Yan is drunk?" Qi Tong frowned and waved at me, as if he was impatient to say more to me.

I felt that my hands and feet were spontaneously weak, and when I saw him come back suddenly, I didn't dare to delay more, so I just nodded at him and walked out of the elevator.

The elevator doors closed behind me, and I stood in the lobby on the first floor, looking around, making sure I was in a modern office building. But why, I still feel that something is wrong?

I really couldn't remember what was abnormal, and when I walked out of the door, Dou Dabao was smoking next to the car, I walked over and asked him how Meng Yan was.

He pointed to the car, "I vomited, and I couldn't wake up at all." Fortunately, I told the address of my home before falling asleep. ”

I subconsciously turned my face to look at the door of the office building, and asked Dou Dabao in a low voice: "Qi Tong didn't see you just now?" ”

Dou Dabao snuffed out the cigarette and said, "Qi Tong? He's coming? Didn't see anyone else? ”

I asked carefully, but Dou Dabao said that he couldn't stand the smell of vomit in the car, and he had been here all along, and he didn't see a car coming in at all.

It shouldn't be, could it be that Qi Tong went back to the office early in the morning?

Dou Dabao will definitely not lie, but at the moment, his father-in-law is still in the intensive care ward, and he is not in the hospital to accompany his fiancée, what are you doing when you come back?

The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became, but now I felt like I was being stirred by the cold wind, and I couldn't find a reason to go to the office to inspect it again.

After thinking about it left and right, I saw that there was a figure shaking in the guard room, so I whispered to Dou Dabao to drive the car outside and wait for me first.

The previous negotiation between Master Liu and the three-legged toad and the toad's offering of treasure were too bizarre, and I didn't have a chance to take a good look at the rockery, so I might as well take this opportunity to take a closer look.

Taking advantage of Dou Dabao's departure, I pretended to get in the car, but in fact, I slipped along one side of the wall and slipped to the back of the office building.

Although the rockery is less than two stories high, the overall area is close to one-third of the entire building. Standing behind the building at night, it has a very forest feeling. As soon as people walk into the dark place behind the rockery, it is as if they have really entered the mountain.

I didn't dare to light the light, so I waited for my eyes to get used to the darkness, approached the pool where the toads offered their treasures in the evening, and looked down to see that the water was sparkling in the night light, and there was nothing unusual.

Looking up, the rockery, which could be concluded to contain a stump, was directly above the pool.

I suddenly thought of a question, when did the jade coin engraved with the word 'Bi Toad' fall into the pool?

In fact, after talking with the old king, coupled with the fantastic experience just now, I can almost determine the identity of the dead body in the rockery.

Lao Gu and I agreed that the rockery that was sent to Baijing's office had been molded for at least five years, in other words, the deceased's death time was also more than five years.

If the jade money was owned by the deceased during his lifetime, it should never have been poured into the rockery with the deceased. If that is the case, even if there is damage to the rockery, the jade money will fall into the water, and the solidified cement will remain on it. When I got the jade money, it was smooth except for a layer of green moss.

But if it is said that the jade money has fallen off before the deceased was poured into the rockery, then it is not very reasonable.

The rockery is the main body of the entire man-made landscape, and only after a series of processes such as pouring the foundation and rockery modeling are completed, will the rockery be built around the rockery to create a water pavilion and green plants. Therefore, even if this rockery was originally watered by in-situ construction and watering, the probability of the jade money falling off and not being discovered is extremely low.

Not to mention that the pool was built later to store water, I can't see the depth of the bottom of the pool in the evening, not that the pool is really digging several feet into the ground, and there is no bottom. But because of the structure of the rockery itself, there is more than half a day during the day, and the pool is shrouded in the shadow of the rocks above, and without the light of day, it is natural to be unable to see the bottom.

Although there is a rockery above, there is always time to receive sunlight. Unless the jade money is really hidden in the corners, how can so many workers in the factory not find such a thing in the pool for several years?

It seems that no matter which angle you think about it, the jade money has only seen the light of day so far, which is a bit illogical.

"Hey!"

I slammed my head.

I'm confused, why are I still struggling with jade money at this time?

The half-cut rockery where the corpse is hidden is now at No. 31 in the back street, which means that the rockery has been repaired and changed. It's too ostentatious to ask, there is such an opportunity, why don't I take the opportunity to identify, when was the defective part of the rockery repaired? Wouldn't that be more conducive to summarizing clues?

The idea came to me, and I took a closer look at the environment.

'Suspected' to be hiding the remains of the rock, a certain height above the ground.

If you want to see above, you have to go over the pool... Or simply climb up from the back of the rockery. The latter is obviously unrealistic, even ordinary thieves will not expose themselves to the light.

I felt that my body was no longer uncomfortable, and I took out a pocket flashlight from my bag, and it didn't light up, just bit into my mouth just in case.

Climb the edge, carefully step across the pool, kick the corner of the rockery, and climb up with both hands.

The rock I was most concerned about was not too high, and it was only a few steps up that it was close to me.

I looked out and was about to turn on the flashlight and look up to take a closer look, when suddenly there was a strange cry of "goow" right above.

It wasn't a loud sound, but there was silence around me, and I was a thief again, and at first I heard the sound, but I was so frightened that I almost didn't step on it, and fell into the pool below.

I hurriedly stabilized my body, although I didn't hear any more movement, but when I recalled the cry just now, I was reminded of the three-legged toad I saw in the evening.

I have seen in the past two days, there are no other ditches and rivers near the factory, and the toad has only three legs, and it is the size of a bowl, and it has either migrated from the surrounding area, or has been stationed here for a long time.

According to Master Liu and Hammer, toads and frogs have to be driven out several times a year around this rockery, how can the three-legged toad grow so big?

I haven't found that big toad for several years, does it really have spirituality and know how to hide? Could it be that the nest was not discovered because its nest was not in the water, but in the rocky cave above it?

Thinking of this, I didn't hesitate any longer, tightened my teeth, and climbed up some distance in the direction from which the cry came.

The toad's cry did not sound again, but at this moment, I suddenly heard another strange sound.

The voice was very slight, but it seemed to come from above my head, and it sounded like someone was whispering something.

I subconsciously put my face on the rock, listened carefully, and suddenly stared at me in the dark.

Someone was talking, and it seemed to be whispering.

Strangely, the sound did not come from the outside world, but seemed to come from the stone......
