"And then?" I'll put aside the name of the source for a moment, and hear what they have to say about the rest of the story.

Father Xie spoke: "I'll talk about it later." After my father became Xie Fu, I couldn't disclose my existence, so I could only foster my home, and at the age of 20, I married a wife and had a daughter, and at the age of 30, I relied on my father's recommendation and support to become the mayor of the town. Originally, when Ji Tai came, suddenly one day two plainclothes policemen came to the town, and as soon as they came, they talked directly to their father. In desperation, I had to knock the two unconscious from behind and hide them in the closet, and then at night I worked with my father to move the people to the woods outside the town, and did not stop doing anything, since the other party found the door, only the dead will never tell the secret. So I knocked the two plainclothes policemen to death with a hammer and found a clearing in the woods to bury them. ”

He stopped when he said this, his eyes seemed to be reminiscing, and after waiting for a while, I didn't see him speak, so I couldn't help but urge and ask: "Did something happen when the body was buried?" ”

Father Xie came to his senses, looked at me and nodded in a daze, and said, "When I dug up the clearing, I found that it was hollow underneath. When my father saw this, he asked me to dig again, but it was still hollow, but I could see the roots of some trees coiled, but even so, there was a certain distance from the bottom. My father and I decided to go down to the ground, and we found that an entire forest was growing on the ground, and there was a large space below that resembled the current underground parking lot, and stretched into the town. We didn't dare to go too deep, for fear that there would be ghosts or beasts or something hidden inside, so we only got a little way and then withdrew. But when we got back to the surface, my father and I stiffened, and we were horrified to find that the two bodies we had been resting on were missing. ”

Missing corpses? Was there someone else at the scene at that time? Later, he didn't say that I almost guessed what was going on, the two town officials who had just killed people were most afraid of not fierce ghosts and beasts, but being unskinned. What can be done to cover up the facts?

"At that time, our first reaction was to search, but after searching for a few minutes without results, my father grabbed me and gritted his teeth and said that this will not work, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation will be. It is impossible for the person who carried the two bodies to run away in such a short time, so it is better to prevent future troubles! So ......"

Father Xie was still hesitating, and I helped him explain what happened: "So you burned the woods with a fire, trying to snipe the person who might have discovered the fact of your murder, and you can't be sure that the person will be burned to death in the forest, so you led the fire all the way to the town and provoked a natural disaster** to divert attention." What an outrageous action you have! ”

In the end, my voice became cold, because of my own selfishness, how many people their father and son had killed, and in the end, it was just to annihilate the evidence and witnesses, and even more so to destroy half of the town and burn countless people as a price.

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Xi's hands were stained with the blood of such despicable people, they really deserved to be killed by a thousand knives!

And Father Xie seemed to be numb, and I didn't care about being reprimanded, so he just continued: "After the fire burns, I will personally lead the people to put out the fire, first, to establish a pro-people image, and second, to make sure that the secret will not be exposed." When I reached the post office, a beam fell and broke my leg, and I found that the fire miraculously ended in the next room of the post office. ”

Hey, what's weird?

"The fire suddenly stopped at the post office?"

Father Xie nodded, "At that time, I didn't have time to dig deeper, I was sent to the hospital because of a broken leg, and the follow-up work was all arranged by my father alone." It wasn't until three days later that my father came to see me in the hospital and told me privately that I had to take down the post office. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but ask, "What's so special about the post office?" ”

Father Xie was still hesitating, but he heard a clear voice in his ear: "There is a secret room hidden in the hollow underneath." ”

Not to mention that Father Xie was stunned, even I turned my head to look at Gu Xi in surprise, "You said there is a secret room below?" But how do you know? I saw him snort lightly and said in an arrogant tone: "The reason why the post office does not burn is because its exterior walls are painted with a flame-proof layer of paint, and a small post office must have another purpose for this kind of precaution." Above the floor is the newly built second floor, and it only takes a probe to find the flaws below, so why is it so difficult? ”

"When did you check this?" He was with me the whole time until he disappeared, why didn't I know he had checked it out? But when I asked that question, he looked at me like an idiot.

The corners of my mouth twitched, and in a blink of an eye I figured out what was going on.

The first time I walked into the hotel with him, Xie Xiaoqin only registered and asked for the keys to the two rooms, and then he should have seen that the exterior wall of the first floor of the hotel was special. But at that time, he quietly led me out of the door, and walked to the school to measure the distance between the two places. When I came back, I met the uncle of the grain and oil store waiting for us outside the hotel with five barrels of oil, so Gu Xi directly threw the matter to me and went "upstairs". In fact, at this time, he went upstairs just to show Xie Xiaoqin in the bar, and when I beckoned Xiaoqin to help get oil outside the hotel, he took the opportunity to come down from the corridor and enter the door behind the bar.

When I had negotiated with Xiaoqin to give her the oil and talked for a while, he had already returned upstairs from elsewhere, and it became that I had gone upstairs and saw him waiting in a very bored state.

With these things clear, I asked Father Xie again: "Then after you used your private power to take the post office as your own, you must have gone to that secret room, right?" "I think what is inside the secret room, Gu Xi should not have time to find out. But unexpectedly, he whispered in his ear: "It's a stone door that they can't open." ”

"Huh? How do you know? "I was amazed again.

Gu Xi said calmly: "I have been in." ”

"What did you say?" When the old man, who was still lying on the ground and dying, heard Gu Xi's words, his eyes suddenly widened and asked, "How can you get in?" ”

Gu Xi looked at him with sarcastic eyes: "You are you?" What can a stone gate do to me? ”

"That's... That... What's inside? The old man became agitated.

In fact, I can probably guess some of the thoughts of the Xie family father and son, when they find that there is a hollow forest outside the town, they may just be surprised, but when they find that there is a secret room under the post office, and inside the secret room is a stone door that is difficult to open, people's greed will always prompt their imagination to think about gold and silver wealth. I'm afraid they think that behind that stone door is a treasure, so they let Xie Xiaoqin open a hotel and guard it all day long.

I saw a strange light suddenly flash in Gu Xi's eyes, and then raised his eyebrows and said, "What's inside?" Let's just go down and see if you want to. ”

Father Xie looked at him blankly, "Go down?" Is this the way back to Xiaoqin? ”

Gu Xi replied lightly: "Why bother to seek the near and far." He pulled me to my feet and walked towards the dumped debris, and after only a few steps, my eyes widened in astonishment.

Just now, I couldn't see the blind spot, but on the side of the uncle in the grain and oil store, there was a hole in the ground that could be drilled into. Looking at the shape of the hole, it does not look like a pre-polished opening, but rather a temporary sawn open. That's right, I used a saw.

Because the cut surface is very flat, but the debris is still there. The question is, if that opening was sawn open by Gu Xi, why didn't you hear any sound? Or did he dig the hole long before I was locked in? But what happened to the uncle of the grain and oil store, why was he knocked unconscious here by the Xie family's father and son, and pressed under it with tables and chairs and other sundries?

A series of questions popped up in his mind and couldn't get the right answer, he couldn't help but grab Gu Xi's sleeve, he paused and looked back at me, immediately insight into my thoughts, and smiled: "Haven't figured it out yet?" The owner of this grain and oil store is the one who took away the two corpses of the policemen. ”

"Huh?" I was stunned, and subconsciously turned back to look at Father Xie's expression, and that shocked expression told me that what Gu Xi said was true. But ...... "How could it be him?" What's going on? ”

Gu Xi sneered and glanced at the uncle lying on the ground, "The loyalty and honesty on the surface are just a disguise, but he can open a grain and oil store after the fire as a small postman, which is a strange thing in itself." And the postman is a smart drudgery, and when he comes back after dark, he happens to bump into two sneaky town officials, and everyone will be curious. ”

Speaking of this, Father Xie asked in a trembling voice, "Why do you know everything?" It's impossible for the old Xie Tou to tell these things. ”

Gu Xi glanced back coldly, "It's about hiding corpses and blackmailing, of course he won't talk about it." But a person has a secret in his heart, and he can't even tell his wife, and I believe you can empathize with this feeling. When someone only needs to mention a little, he will be like a frightened bird, and when we sit in the restaurant to eat, I believe he will come to you to consult. ”

I was secretly frightened, and I remember very well that I invited my uncle to the restaurant and talked about some topics of rubbing the edges, and then his mother-in-law came to ask him to go back and say that there was business at the door. I even wondered why Gu Xi was so conservative that day, he meant it to be so, and the uncle went to report to Xie Zhiyuan and his son at this time?
