Facing Tang Qianlin's inquiry, He Chenxue shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Tang Qianlin smiled and said: "I still have some things, I have to go first, the child likes this, can you let him play here for a few more days?" ”

Without waiting for He Chenxue to answer, Liu Mouzheng said briskly: "Of course you can, you can live here all the time, Brother Tang, I think otherwise, you can also move to my house to live, I have a lot of empty houses, don't be restrained, you really have to feel inconvenient, it doesn't matter, you can choose the house under my Baxiang Gate." ”

"No need, Brother Liu is polite." Tang Qianlin smiled and said, "I have something to do, I'll leave first, thank you for your hospitality." ”

After Tang Qianlin finished speaking, he walked directly along the path in the courtyard towards the gate.

Liu Mouzheng looked at the back of Tang Qianlin's departure and said: "Daughter-in-law, your relative is amazing, he has real skills, no wonder the Security Bureau wants to recruit him, it's amazing." But I wonder why you say the Security Bureau is interested in all this mess now? ”

He Chenxue smiled and said, "You don't know, how would I know, let's go, ask someone to clean up." ”

After Tang Qianlin walked out of the Liufu, he found a dark corner and stood still, staring at the gate of the Liufu.

About an hour or so, He Chenxue's car drove out, and He Chenxue was the only one in the car.

Tang Qianlin hurried to catch up with the car, and after chasing a street, the car stopped on the side of the road, and after He Chenxue got out of the car, he called a rickshaw and walked east.

Tang Qianlin did not call a rickshaw, but kept walking behind at a speed.

The rickshaw shuttled through the back streets of the alley, during which He Chenxue changed to several other rickshaws, and finally stopped at a lively street.

At the corner of the street, there are women standing dressed in fancy clothes to solicit customers, and at a glance you know that it is a place to look for flowers and willows.

"Peach Blossom Lane?" Tang Qianlin looked at the wooden sign at the corner of the street, and he remembered what the person in Xuanbu said - the last place where the child named Tianji appeared was Peach Blossom Lane.

Tang Qianlin found that He Chenxue did not walk directly into Peach Blossom Alley, but got into the alley between the two houses next to him, Tang Qianlin dodged into the alley and quietly followed behind He Chenxue.

After shuttling through the alley for a long time, He Chenxue came to the door of a house, took out the key and opened the door to enter.

Tang Qianlin stood at the door and looked left and right, stepped on the wall, came to the window on the second floor, and was about to open the window, but found that there was a seal in the gap in the window, and a small bag was hanging under the seal.

If Tang Qianlin directly pushes open the window, the seal is broken, and the bag falls, the medicinal powder inside will spread out, and then it will depend on his luck, if he is lucky, the medicinal powder in the bag will only make him unconscious, and if he is unlucky, his body will fester.

Tang Qianlin hung there thinking for a while, let go of his hand and landed, took out his tools, and was about to unlock the lock, but at this moment, the door opened, and He Chenxue stood at the door and looked at him coldly.

"I knew you'd follow." He Chenxue said coldly, "When you ask where Zhong Jizhuang is, I know that from that moment on, you will try your best to stare at me. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Then you changed the rickshaw several times along the way?" ”

He Chenxue smiled faintly: "I deliberately fixed you." ”

Tang Qianlin looked into the room: "Is Master Zhong here?" ”

"Inside." He Chenxue opened the door, "Come in." ”

Tang Qianlin entered the house, looking at the only simple furniture in the house, He Chenxue walked up to the attic: "He lives in the attic, and it is safer there." ”

Tang Qianlin followed He Chenxue to the attic, and in the dim light, he saw Zhong Jizhuang sitting on the bed, his face wrinkled, looking like a dried corpse.

He never imagined that the coffin opener, who was only a few years older than himself, and who was once famous in northern Sichuan, would become like this.

"How did he become like this?" Tang Qianlin turned his head to look at He Chenxue.

He Chenxue didn't answer, but said, "I'll make you a cup of tea, you can talk to him." ”

Tang Qianlin walked to the bed, sat on the stool, looked at Zhong Jizhuang and said, "Master Zhong? ”

Zhong Jizhuang didn't react, and looked straight ahead with a dull gaze.

Tang Qianlin stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Zhong Jizhuang, Zhong Jizhuang's eyes finally trembled, turned his head to look at him, and then his eyes lit up: "Qian...... Qianlin? ”

Tang Qianlin grabbed Zhong Jizhuang's dry hand: "Master Zhong, what happened?" ”

Zhong Jizhuang shook his head and looked at He Chenxue again, but he didn't say a word.

Tang Qianlin turned his head to look at He Chenxue and said, "You go down first." ”

He Chenxue asked, "Why?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "What? Do you want to kill people? ”

He Chenxue sneered, "I don't understand what you mean. ”

Tang Qianlin got up: "Do you have to make it clear?" ”

He Chenxue nodded slightly: "Say it, I see that you think you know something." ”

"When the two of us were together, you met Master Zhong through me, you know that he is the person who opened the coffin, and you also know his ability, after you came to the Northeast, you got Master Zhong here in some way or means." Tang Qianlin turned his head to look at Zhong Jizhuang when he said this, "Although I don't know what your purpose is, I know very well that the corpse buried under the courtyard of Liufu is not Liu Mouzheng's father's, but the former door master Ma Tong, right?" ”

He Chenxue didn't say a word, just looked at Tang Qianlin silently.

Tang Qianlin said: "When I came to Harbin, I heard about the Baxiangmen, and I also knew that the first master of the door Ma Tong died mysteriously, and it was rumored that Ma Tong did not cooperate with the Japanese and was killed by the Japanese, but in fact, the person who killed Ma Tong was you, not the Japanese, if Ma Tong did not die, your Liu Mouzheng would not be able to ascend to the throne and succeed the master." ”

After speaking, Tang Qianlin took a step forward: "He Chenxue, who are you?" ”

He Chenxue sighed: "I still haven't hidden it from you, do you know, this is what I hate about you the most, I think I have seen through it." ”

Tang Qianlin said again: "The reason why you brought Master Zhong to design the courtyard feng shui is to cover up the fact of the murder, and to bury Ma Tong's body justifiably, that is the safest way, even if you know, you will think that Liu Mouzheng's father's ashes are buried underneath." ”

He Chenxue said coldly: "That's right, even if someone like you who understands feng shui sees through the mystery, they will make the same speculation as you before, thinking that it was the feng shui master who was selfish and buried the remains of his ancestors at the bottom, borrowing the fortune of the Liu family." ”

Tang Qianlin asked: "I don't understand, there are many ways to destroy the corpse, why do you want to deal with Ma Tong's corpse like this?" What do you want? ”

He Chenxue turned around and went downstairs, and Tang Qianlin asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Wait downstairs." He Chenxue said as she walked, "Don't you want to talk to him alone?" ”

After He Chenxue's footsteps disappeared from the stairs, Tang Qianlin sat back on the stool and asked Zhong Jizhuang, "Master Zhong, what happened?" ”

Zhong Jizhuang froze and grabbed Tang Qianlin's wrist: "Ma Tong is not a human. ”

Tang Qianlin was stunned: "What do you mean?" What does it mean that Ma Tong is not human? ”

"Qianlin, have you ever seen someone eat raw meat and drink blood alive?" Zhong Jizhuang stared at Tang Qianlin, "Have you ever seen an ordinary person as powerful as an ox, who can split steel with his bare hands?" Have you ever seen someone get shot and still not fall? ”

Tang Qianlin thought for a while and said: "Powerful as an ox, splitting steel with his hands, he still doesn't fall down after being shot, I've seen it, not long ago, it was a medicine researched by the Japanese, but ordinary people can only live for a few days after being injected with that kind of medicine." ”

"No, no, no, not necessarily." Zhong Jizhuang's breathing became more and more rapid, "He is really not a human, his thinking and thoughts are completely different from people." ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "How did you become like this?" ”

Zhong Jizhuang shook his head: "I don't know, probably poisoned, but I can't solve it, I feel that I am getting older and older, and I have been waiting for your arrival." ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "Wait for me?" He Chenxue told you, I will come? ”

Zhong Jizhuang said: "She said, you will come one day, sooner or later, it's just a matter of time, if it weren't for her, I would have died a long time ago." ”

Tang Qianlin glanced at the door of the attic, and said in a low voice: "She brought you here just to take advantage of you, didn't you think that she was the one who harmed you?" ”

Zhong Jizhuang smiled bitterly: "I'm like this, she wants to kill me, it's simple, why do you want to keep my life all the time?" Listen, Qianlin, hurry up, hurry up with the child, get away from here. ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "What happened?" Why did He Chenxue call you here, and you came? Why? What is the rationale? ”

A few minutes later, Tang Qianlin came downstairs and walked up to He Chenxue.

He Chenxue raised her eyes and looked at him: "Do you want tea?" It's still hot. ”

Tang Qianlin sat down and said, "Master Zhong is dead. ”

He Chenxue nodded slightly: "I tried my best, but I still can't help him, he can survive to this day, it can be regarded as luck." ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "Why did Master Zhong come to the Northeast?" I know his temper, and even if I call him, he doesn't necessarily come. ”

He Chenxue took out a cigarette from her small bag and lit it, took a few puffs, and handed it to Tang Qianlin: "Take a puff?" ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I want to know the answer." ”

He Chenxue smiled and said, "I don't know where to start. ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "Let's start with why you called Master Zhong." ”

"Because of the Shaman's Spirit Palace." After He Chenxue finished saying this, she looked at Tang Qianlin's surprised expression, "Don't be so surprised, when I met you, I knew that you were a hunter, you have been looking for the Shaman Spirit Palace, and you often discuss it with Master Zhong, Master Zhong is also very interested in the Shaman Spirit Palace, he is the one who opened the coffin, and he insists that the Shaman Spirit Palace hides the secret of human life and death." ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "You used the Shaman Spirit Palace to trick him?" ”

He Chenxue flicked the ashes of his cigarette: "It's not just you who are looking for the Shaman Spirit Palace, it's the Manchu people who have been insisting on looking for it, that is, the aborigines who lived in this land in the past. ”

After He Chenxue finished speaking, she glanced towards the attic: "Did Master Zhong not tell you his true identity until he died?" ”

Tang Qianlin was surprised: "True identity? ”

He Chenxue said: "He is a member of the lone army, do you really think that the time you met him in Yunnan and met him as a friend is just a coincidence?" No, that's all arranged. ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "How do you know?" ”

He Chenxue shook his head and said: "When he was poisoned, he thought he was going to die, and he had no way to send out the clues he obtained, so he had no choice but to confess to me." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I don't believe you. ”

"It doesn't matter, you just listen to the story, believe it or not." He Chenxue threw away the cigarette butt, "As for who I am and what I do, aren't you smart?" Speculate for yourself. ”
