Lao Meng's father's words confirmed my previous guess, Teng Jianmin was really lying to me.

But in retrospect, I have always been in a passive state of communication with Teng Jianmin, so I don't know how to contact Teng Jianmin.

But luckily, I still have Teng Chong as the last card.

Lao Meng's father continued, "Although I have known your father for so many years, I don't really know him. Why is the identity of the remnant of the ancient Dian Kingdom so important to him, and what is in that nine-fold treasure letter, he has never told me these things. But he once said that he was suffering for others. I don't know who that person is. ”

He gestured to the things on the table, "These copper hooks and strings have been collected from all over the world over the years, and he has never mentioned them to me as for their use. It's just that he suddenly came to me before he disappeared and told me that if he doesn't come back one day, he will give this thing to you to keep and not lose it. ”

I stepped forward and took the box, and I didn't see any difference. However, the copper hooks and strings come in different shapes, and they seem to have been collected for a long time.

"Uncle Meng, do you know where my dad is now?" I cut straight to the point.

Lao Meng's father shook his head, and Lao Meng took over at this time, "You are still lying, I obviously heard you call others before, saying that Lao Xiao didn't find it, don't waste your efforts or something." ”

Lao Meng's father actually laughed, "That call was made to Xiao Ding's second uncle, I mean I didn't find Lao Xiao, so don't let your second uncle come to Hangzhou in vain, and concentrate on taking care of business in your hometown." ”

Hearing his dad explain this, my heart sank again.

It's been two months since my dad disappeared, and nothing has been found except for the phone. Originally, when I walked to the Octagonal Tower, I thought I had found the right one, and my dad might be not far in front of me, but now it seems that it is simply the opposite, getting farther and farther away.

I thought about it for a moment, if I were my father, and I still didn't find any news of the Ninefold Treasure Letter after such a big circle, but I haven't given up yet, where would I try my luck next?

In the end, I suddenly thought of a place, which is the location where my dad found the Ninefold Treasure Letter!

After asking Lao Meng's father for the location of the Ninefold Treasure Letter, I planned to try my luck myself. According to his father, my father was in a small town near Shizhai Mountain in Yunnan Province and bought the Ninefold Treasure Letter in exchange.

Lao Meng's father also said that once there is news of my father in Hangzhou, he will definitely contact me as soon as possible.

Lao Meng raised his foot and wanted to go with me, but was stopped by his father.

"People go to find their own father, what are you going to do?"

I think Lao Meng has been wandering outside with me for a long time, and this time he happened to catch up with his father, and he should also go home.

I persuaded Lao Meng, "If I go to Yunnan this time, Yu Nian should go with me, and there will be no problems." ”

Lao Meng glanced sideways at his father, "I'd rather follow you to die than go home with the murderer." ”

After saying that, he walked ahead of me, no matter how his father called him, he didn't look back.

I just wanted to catch up, but I remembered something, and while Lao Meng was not there, I asked, "Uncle Meng, can I ask more, what is going on in this nursing home?" ”

His father replied lightly: "It's just that one of my industries in Hangzhou has gone out of business due to poor management." Because of the remote location and the fact that it was a nursing home before, many elderly people died, so it couldn't be sold at a good price, so it has been shelved. Because I have a lot of business in Hangzhou, the upstairs office area has been kept. ”

I hesitated, but I couldn't restrain my curiosity and asked, "The corpse on the ceiling of the bathroom on the second floor......"

His father had an unheard of expression, "How could there be a corpse, you read it wrong." ”

Since his dad didn't want to admit it, I didn't talk anymore.

I took the box he gave me and went downstairs, and after entering the elevator, I squeezed to the second floor, and walked directly to the bathroom while there was no one around.

The strange thing is that the person on the ceiling is gone, and there is not a trace of blood except for the old.

I stood in the hallway and looked around, making sure that this was the room I had been to before, why was the corpse gone......

I was thinking when I suddenly heard footsteps in the stairwell, as if someone was coming downstairs.

I quickly ran two steps ahead of everyone.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of Tianxiang Nursing Home, Lao Meng Zheng called a car and waited there, saw me come out and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about with him, the old thing doesn't tell the truth." ”

I followed Lao Meng into the car, "What do you mean?" You think your dad didn't tell the truth? ”

"I'm his own son, others can't see it, I can't see it? You can believe me, you can only believe half of what he just said. ”

I know it in my heart, but I still feel a little strange when I hear Lao Meng say this, "You kid, so cheating your father?" ”

Lao Meng's eyes suddenly dimmed, "What daddy, I grew up wild since I was a child." You said that I don't care, I don't care, I'm still so uncomfortable outside, I'd rather not have such a father, otherwise I wouldn't be scared when I see a policeman. ”

After arriving at the hotel, the more I walked upstairs, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I could always smell a pungent and disgusting smell. It may smell like a sewer to outsiders, but I'm very sensitive to it.

When I went up to the sixth floor, I found that the smell was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was coming from our floor. As I passed by Yu Nian's room, I suddenly stopped and sensed that something was wrong.

Lao Meng and I glanced at each other, just about to bang on the door. But just as the elbow was closed, the door creaked open.

Pushing open the door, a smell of decay rushed straight out, and when I barely suppressed the vomit that was about to vomit, I saw a bloody corpse wrapped in the white quilt on the bed, and the thick quilt was already oozing red.

It was as if someone had hit me in the head, and with a buzz, I hurriedly ran to the bed. When I got to the foot of the bed, I found that the person lying down was not Yu Nian, and he was dressed differently, so he was relieved.

I had the courage to open the window, but the smell of rot would not go away. I slowly approached the head of the bed and turned the body upside down on the bed.

The man was facing me all at once, with an iron-blue face, bulging eyes, and a tongue hanging from his chin. Even though I've seen so many people who have died tragically, I still feel disgusting.

Lao Meng wrinkled his nose and glanced at it with disgust, pinched his nose and said, "Look at it like this, it's suffocation." ”

The man who died was tall, with short hair, and was clearly a man. Lao Meng glanced at the lock on the window, "Did you open this lock just now?" ”

I shook my head, "I just pushed it open, and the window wasn't locked at all." ”

He walked over to the window and looked down. Then he went back to the bed and took a look at the pillows scattered on it and the corpses wrapped inside! Then look in the direction of the doorway.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"The lock on the window was broken and was picked open from the outside. Looking at the scratches on the floor, it should have been a fight. Someone barged in through the window and tried to attack Yu Nian who was lying on the bed. But Yu Nian fought back, and Yu Nian suffocated the person in the two of them, and then escaped from the door. ”

But there seems to be an inexplicable point in this.

"If this man was suffocated, where did the blood on the bed come from?" I asked.

When Lao Meng heard me say this, he glanced back at the corpse, hesitated for a moment and slowly lifted the quilt underneath, but found that the distribution of blood stains was strange.

It doesn't exactly ooze out of it, but it squirts out from various angles. It should be the marks left by an injured person in his struggle.

If that's the case, the real situation should be like this. The man broke the window lock and wanted to attack Yu Nian, but Yu Nian woke up, so in the tearing of the two people, Yu Nian was injured and suffocated to death. . . .

But looking at the area of the bloodstains, it should be a very serious injury. If Yu Nian was so seriously injured, would he still have the strength to suffocate this strong man?

And just by virtue of Yu Nian's outstretched hand, will he be easily hurt by this man?

"I felt like there were more than two of them." Lao Meng touched his chin and said.

I faintly saw a scratch on the ground, as if it had been left by dragging something, and I was immediately a little suspicious. I followed the long scratch on the ground and walked out to the bathroom.

The door to the bathroom was open, and I stood in the doorway, not daring to move. I'm afraid that as soon as this door opens, something will appear in it that I can't digest. I was even more afraid to see the remnants of the wounded with blood.

Lao Meng stretched out his hand and pushed open the bathroom door with a creak. The imaginary horror scene didn't happen, but the situation in the bathroom was just as bloody.

The sink was filled with water, and it was full of pink water. There are still a few blood-red finger prints clearly on the toilet next to it, and it seems that a lot of things have happened here.

"The person who was supposed to have been stabbed was dragged here again." Lao Meng analysis.

I looked at the blood in the bathroom, and fell into a deep uneasiness, if it was Yu Nian who was injured, then she must be seriously injured now, if it wasn't Yu Nian, then where is she now?

I was thinking about it when I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be two small words written in blood under the mirror, and when I looked down, I saw that it was—self-preservation.

I immediately understood that this was a note that Yu Nian had left for me. She wasn't the one who was hurting, she was telling me that I was safe and reminding me to protect myself.

But even if it is not Yu Nian who is injured, it is not a way to put this body in the house like this, after all, there are many people, in case the proprietress finds out and calls the police, it will be difficult for me and Lao Meng to get out, so it is better to clean up.

Behind the hotel is a wasteland, but it's a good place to bury.
