90. Cemetery caretaker

At this time, I didn't understand what he meant, but in the past five minutes, I felt that my stomach was slightly distended, and I was held in front of him, and I didn't feel cold when my breath was wrapped, and the sleepiness and laziness after the meal poured out. I touched my stomach and wondered, "Why is it so bloated?" ”

"It's not just any chocolate, it puffs up when it gets into your belly and you get to a feeling of fullness. It's no wonder that you don't swell when you eat so much. ”

After listening to his explanation, I became more and more depressed: "What kind of chocolate is this?" How I hadn't heard of it before. ”

"It's self-made."

I felt like I wanted to spit out the chocolate I had swallowed, and it was a chemical agent, and it was related to corpses, and now it was food...... Since then, I have been troubled by psychological factors, and I have always felt uncomfortable in my stomach, and I am sleepy, and my eyelids are fighting. A stumble, was picked up by Gao Cheng and pulled against his arms, I asked in a daze, "Why don't you go down the mountain?" ”

His answer was to unbutton the trench coat and cover my face, the space suddenly became smaller, the drowsiness was thicker, and the consciousness was blurred as soon as the eyes were closed. In the haze, he seemed to hear Gao Cheng's low voice penetrating: "What should come will come." ”

What is really supposed to come will always come. When I was pushed by Gao Cheng, the sound of heavy footsteps was heard far away, and he gently pulled off his trench coat, and when the wind poured in, his lips pressed against my ear: "You stay here." With that, he got up, like a leopard walking in the dark, and approached his prey silently.

The person who came was not a very vicious person, almost in an instant was caught by Gao Cheng, I ran over to take a flashlight on my mobile phone, stunned, the person who came was a strange middle-aged uncle, not a child or the rest of the Tong family.

The man shouted loudly after being restrained by Gao Cheng: "What do you want to do? I don't have any money. "He took us for robbery. Gao Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked: "Why did you go up the mountain?" ”

The answer was very unexpected, and the man replied: "I am the caretaker of this mountainous area, and I have come up to hoe and sweep the grass in the mountains." As soon as he heard this, he knew that he was lying, and when such a large mountain area came up, he saw the decadent and desolate appearance, and in the middle of the night he ran up and said hoeing and sweeping? Tricksters.

I couldn't see what Gao Cheng did in the dark, only to hear a man's scream, and a cold voice raised in the air: "Tell the truth! Otherwise, in this wilderness, it is not a very simple matter to have no people, and the cemetery is still ready. ”

Such a threat was loud in his mouth, and coupled with the environment, the middle-aged man immediately trembled: "I said, I said." I'm indeed the caretaker of this mountainous area, but it's been deserted for too long for me to keep it in order. Unless there is a relative who specially leaves a message for me to sort it out on a specific day, I will go up the mountain. This grave is that I need to hoe the grass almost every six months, especially today's child's death day, I have to help burn some paper money or something. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "Did you take money from the other party?" ”

The man's eyes dodged and replied: "It's not ...... How much confiscated. And so there it is, and I'm not concerned about how much money he charges, but, "Who told you to do this?" What does that guy look like? ”

"It's been a long time, this child's grave is more than ten years old, I can't remember it exactly. In the first few years, the family came to the grave by themselves, and then there was a time when the child's father came to me and asked me to sweep the child's grave every six months in the future, and burn some paper money on the day of death. Today, I went to my mother-in-law's house to drink and forgot to drink, and when I came back, I remembered that I didn't feel steady, so I braved the night to catch up. ”

I shone the light on the ground, and I did see scattered paper money on the ground, and he was right. But what he meant ...... said, "When was the last time you saw that person?" ”

"Just that once."

"How is that possible? How did he give you the money later? ”

The man swallowed, "Every year, a few days before this death day, money will be sent to my card, which is also to remind me that it is time to come and see this child." ”

"Card number." Gao Cheng suddenly spoke in a cool voice.

When the man heard this, he immediately coaxed, and pleaded: "I have two babies in my family, and I rely on the living of my caretaker to support the family. ”

I frowned and explained, "What's the urgency for you to report your card number without letting you report your password, and not forcing you to go to the bank?" Rest assured, no one wants your money. We just want to know who is sending you the money. The man was skeptical, but he still refused to speak, but under Gao Cheng's means, he couldn't stand it, and finally reported the card number.

Immediately, I saw Gao Cheng take out his mobile phone to dial, and as soon as he called, he fluently reported the string of numbers, and asked the other party to check the transfer record. When he put down his phone, his face was indistinguishable, and I asked, "Have you found out who it is?" ”

He looked at it deeply and said a name lightly: "Tong Ziyao." ”

"Ahh The exclamation was not from me, but from the middle-aged man at his feet, he looked at us with a frightened face, and then at the tombstone, his body began to tremble, "Don't scare me, it's impossible......"

Gao Cheng pulled a cold and weird smile: "It seems that you really met a ghost." ”

————

There is no need to guard the mountain anymore, the middle-aged man has all the information he can get, he describes the appearance of a man more than ten years ago, and it is impossible to determine whether he is a child father. What's weird is that the user who transfers money to him every year is actually in the name of Tong Ziyao, and what's even more weird is that Tong Ziyao's identity registration information is none.

That is to say, so far, there is no clear answer to whether Tong Ziyao is Xiao Tong's sister.

When I reached the foot of the mountain, the sky had turned white, and I could see the appearance of the middle-aged man, slightly hunched on his back, his forehead full of wrinkles, and his expression was frightened. Pulled Gao Cheng's sleeve, "Let him go or ......"

He didn't say anything, and the middle-aged man immediately bent down and begged: "Let me go, I haven't gone back for most of the night, the mother-in-law at home will definitely come out to find it, and the card number has also been reported to you, take the money there, raise your noble hand and spare me." ”

can't stand such a big gift, he is a small administrator, and there is no need to be too embarrassed. I saw that Gao Cheng had no objection, so I made the decision and said to the middle-aged man: "Go back, don't talk about this today." ”

As soon as the man heard that he had been pardoned, he turned around and ran again and again, but he only ran ten meters away, and Gao Cheng suddenly raised his voice and called: "Tong Haogen!" I Mu was stunned, when I saw the footsteps of the figure in front of me, I looked back at Gao Cheng in disbelief, how could it be?

Gao Cheng's eyes did not turn, and he opened his mouth in the dark: "You can go, there is still one of the three daughters, Tong Zihan, wait to see her in prison." The voice was not high, enough to pass through the foot of Phoenix Mountain in the early morning to get there, and the back of the running stopped.

My heart sank, and I knew what that meant.

I never thought that this so-called cemetery administrator would be the Tong Haogen we were looking for!

The bent back stood upright, and the middle-aged man slowly turned around, and the panic in his eyes dissipated, just staring at us in a deep and gloomy manner. After a long time, he came up to him and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you come here? ”

Gao Cheng sneered, "You should ask me how I saw through you first." ”

Tong Haogen really looked puzzled, he said: "Is there a loophole in which of my words?" ”

"The first thing you said was wrong, or that your presence on this hill is a loophole in itself. The whole Phoenix Mountain area, there is no administrator at all, it is a cemetery, in the early days by the government sent people to tidy up, later laxity and forgetting, only occasionally relatives go to the grave occasionally for their own cemetery hoeing or something. That's why the weeds are as tall as one person in some places, but neat in others. This is one of them. ”

I have already understood Gao Cheng's keen observation, but Tong Haogen didn't know it, and stared at him at this time. Gao Cheng paused and then said, "Second, when you looked at Tong Ziyao's tombstone, you didn't hide it with the indifference of an outsider, and even your own emotions that you didn't pay attention to; Third, when I reported that the name of the transferor with the card number was Tong Ziyao, your eyes drooped for a second, trying to argue that it was not that person's name, but you wanted to show that you were ignorant and didn't know who the transferor was, so you pretended to be frightened; And just now, you behaved inconsistently, one moment you were reluctant to report your card number for fear of being robbed, and the next moment the money in the card was left to me, and your heart was clear. Does the caretaker of a graveyard hill need so much emotion? ”

With Gao Cheng's exquisite analysis, Tong Haogen's face turned white inch by inch, and in the end, his entire shoulder collapsed, and his face was sad. In fact, it's not that he didn't disguise well enough, at least he deceived my eyes just now, but the person he met was Gao Cheng, and even a subtle look and a movement didn't escape those keen eyes.

Tong Haogen was silent for a long time, and was about to speak, when Gao Cheng's mobile phone rang, and he retracted when the words came to his mouth. I frowned slightly, and said in my heart that Gao Cheng's call came at an inopportune time, but after he answered it, the expression on his face became extremely subtle for a moment, because my eyes kept lingering on his face, so I didn't miss it.

When I put down the phone, Gao Cheng looked at me with a strange look in his eyes, and paused for a moment before saying, "Go back to the city first." ”

There was a vague sense of foreboding, and I wanted to ask but was hindered by Tong Haogen. On the way back, Tong Haogen and I sat in the back seat, separated by a distance, which was signaled by Gao Cheng. In this way, I can keep an eye on Tong Haogen, and he has no anger on him, so he is safe but can rest assured. The middle-aged man in front of him has a secret in his heart.

In fact, the secret is not a good thing, if it is hidden too deeply, people will be pressed by it, it should be about fifty years old, and he is more like an old man who has been hidden for a long time, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, gray hair, and dark spots on his face. <
