Chapter 22: The Treasure of the Chen Family (End of this Story)

"It's because I'm a police officer that I believe in these weird things more." Cousin is colorful.

"Even if your argument makes sense, how do you explain why I'm the only one who didn't have that weird dream?"

"It's simple. Sayo, haven't you always encountered weird things since you were a child? So have you ever wondered why you can live until now? Why is it that in many cases, it is usually someone else who dies and not you? My cousin looked at me, "Do you remember that your grandmother used to say that when you were born, there was a wandering Taoist who said that your life was destined to be unusual?" I guess you must have some kind of peculiar constitution that can help you avoid disasters. ”

I was silent, speechless, and though I was outwardly noncommittal to my cousin's words, my heart was visibly beginning to waver.

"However, the passage between the Chen family's tomb and the accompanying tomb is really hidden, and when the people of the criminal police team dug up the bodies of Wang Qiang and Wang Wei, no one found this passage."

I snorted: "This fully proves how low the quality of the people in your criminal police team is." I saw that everyone's attention at that time shifted to the air-raid shelter where the bodies were found, and no one thought that the two bodies were transported from the tomb of the Chen family master to the burial tomb, and then thrown into the air-raid shelter by the collapsed part of the burial tomb. ”

"One more thing." Cousin Yefeng said in a reproachful tone: "Since you already know where the entrance and exit of the tomb are, why do you take the risk of taking Zhou Jian's words?" Do you know how dangerous it is to face that kind of vicious person alone? If he suddenly sneaks up, I won't have time to run out and save you. What's more, you didn't say anything to me beforehand, just wanted me to hide in that damn hole and watch a good show! ”

"I don't want to take that risk." I smiled wryly: "But there is really no way, everything is just my reasoning, there is no real evidence." Even if you tell the police about the entrance and exit of the cave, only two corpses will be found in the end, and there is no way to bring the bastard to justice, and it will also startle the snake. I had no choice but to make a decision. ”

Ye Feng was noncommittal about my explanation, he thought for a while, and suddenly said, "I have investigated some of Wang Qiang's information, do you want to hear it?" ”

I froze, then nodded.

"Then answer me a question first. What year did Conan Doyle's novel Sherlock Holmes come here? ”

"About 10 years ago."

"Not bad." The cousin smiled mysteriously: "I remember that year, the whole town set off a detective craze because of this novel. Wang Qiang has become a loyal detective fan because of it. Since he was in junior high school, he has formed a club called the "Detective Society" in the school, but unfortunately, until he disappeared, there was still only one member of the club.

Perhaps to attract members or to prove his reasoning skills in front of others, he threatened in the school newspaper that he could solve the mystery of the school's legend before he disappeared. I think that guy might have gotten some clue at the time. ”

I nodded, "Maybe he had already discovered the entrance to the main tomb by then." ”

"But the question is, how could a guy as smart as Zhou Jian not notice the loss of his school card when he killed Li Ping?"

I scratched my head in a little distress, and suddenly I thought of something, and I cried out "ah".

"I have always thought that when Zhou Jian killed Li Ping, he mixed his school card into Li Ping's pile of torn clothes because of panic, it seems that I was very wrong!" I said slowly.

"Isn't that right?" Cousin Yefeng asked suspiciously.

"Not true. I think Zhou Jian deliberately put his school card and Li Ping's corpse together! ”

The cousin was surprised: "Why did he do this?" Doing him more harm than good! ”

"Of course, there is a point in doing that. Think about it, if you love someone, love so much that you can't help yourself, love so much that you don't hesitate to kill her in order to possess her alone, then do you wish you could be with her all the time, every minute?

But under the circumstances at that time, it was impossible for Zhou Jian to do it. Because if he stays under the grave often, he will be suspected and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. So Zhou Jian, who was obsessed with Li Ping's love, put his school card next to Li Ping's bones and used it to replace himself. ”

I licked my lips and continued: "Thinking about it this way, maybe Zhou Jian gave up his great future and returned to this school to be an inconspicuous school policeman, not to keep the secret of his murder, but to stay with Li Ping's bones." But one day five years ago, when he was going down to the main tomb, he was accidentally seen by Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang proudly made a big statement in the school newspaper, and went down to the main tomb, and then he found Li Ping and the baby's body. Remember a huge arson in Snow Springs five years ago? At that time, a large apartment building in the East End was burned down, and the arsonist has not been found.

"Coincidentally, Wang Qiang's home happened to be located in that apartment, I guess the fire was set by Zhou Jian, after he killed Wang Qiang, he didn't find the school badge he took away on Wang Qiang, and the clothes belonging to Li Ping, and then set fire to his home to annihilate the evidence."

Ye Feng sighed and said, "Actually, think about it, Zhong Dao, Li Ping, and Zhou Jian, each of them is a victim, a victim of feelings, which is why today's situation has been caused." Alas, but what I didn't expect was that even if Zhou Jian's guy pleaded not guilty even if the evidence was conclusive, he still played the game of the Saucer Immortal with you. He's killing himself! ”

"I have a different view." I turned my head and suddenly asked, "It is said that Zhou Jian was scared to death, right?" ”

"Yes, I've been to see his body. His death was horrible, and his face was full of horror. ”

I took a deep breath and said lightly: "Actually, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between the two expressions of horror and ecstasy. Maybe Zhou Jianming knew that he was at the end of his rope, and he wanted to see the person he liked for the last time, even if that person had become a ghost who wanted to eat his own flesh and blood...... Ha, maybe the moment Zhou Jian died was the happiest moment in his life. ”

Looking at the blue sky, he suddenly found that he could no longer laugh easily.

What kind of resentment will make an originally well-behaved girl like Li Ping become a ghost who seeks souls and kills innocents everywhere?

Although, I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world. In the cycle of life, everything must have cause and effect. Maybe there is another explanation for Li Ping's ghost legend, a more scientific explanation! It's just that with my poor knowledge, I can't know.

But fortunately, this incident should have closed the curtain.

There is one more thing that has to be said.

After the Chen family's tomb was excavated, many archaeologists rushed to verify it, and finally proved that it was indeed genuine.

But what is very puzzling is that in the entire huge tomb, as Zhou Jian said, Old Man Chen did not have any burial, and only found two coffins in the deepest part. The coffin was covered with many charms, and after painstakingly opening it, the archaeologists were surprised to find that there was only one arm in each coffin.

What about the other parts of Old Man Chen's body? Who would hate him so much that he would be dismembered after his death? These questions became the front page headlines of newspapers and magazines for a while, and caused a great sensation at the time.

Many years later, when my experience increased, and I looked back on this incident again, I realized that everything, whether it was Li Ping's strong resentment that killed eight people, or the cry of a baby in the camphor forest at midnight, was all in these two arms, which had long since dried up to the point of bones. And this time, it was actually the first time I had a head-on conflict with the Chen family's tomb.

The son is silent and confused, not silent, and covers the ears of those who are not easy to speak.

Ghosts, as expected, don't exist. Old Man Chen's bones have a great mysterious power, which will affect the dead as well as the living. No, it's not just the remains of Old Man Chen, there are many more special objects in this world that humans can't know, all of which have supernatural powers that affect human lives and the world we live in.

But that's another story.

Alas...... It hurts inside.

Maybe life is like this, experienced and lost, talents will slowly mature and grow up.

"Although the little bird can't get him, he must never forget himself, even if it is for him, even if it is for him...... Isn't that little bird stupid, you say? ”

On the plane of China Eastern Airlines, for some reason, I remembered the last words that Xue Ying said.

Flipping through her diary, the first page was written with her own name in Xiu Ting's handwriting. There are two more words below the name - little bird......

"Yes, the little bird is so stupid, even if she does this, no one will be happy, it will only make her relatives sad......" My heart hurts, but I want to cry without tears, so I simply look out the window.

Outside, the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean is a transparent blue. The sky was blue, too, and it and the water kept stretching towards the end of the line of sight, stretching, stretching, until I could no longer see the distance.

There, there will be heaven......
