Mo Chen suggested that if you want to investigate, what happened to Dong's father back then, you can start with the uncle who often visited Dong's father, as long as you find him, you can know what happened back then.

Dong Jingxun didn't think about this, but he was too young at the time, and many things were not as thoughtful as he thinks now. In addition, after so much time, he couldn't remember what that uncle looked like, and in his impression, he vaguely remembered that he was a man of medium height and emaciation.

When Dong Jingxun became an adult, he also asked his mother when he wanted to investigate the incident that year. It's a pity that every time the uncle came to visit, he just politely greeted Dong's mother and was hurriedly let into the study by Dong's father.

And Dong's father never mentioned that person's identity and background to Dong's mother, every time Dong's mother asked curiously, Dong's father just scolded her, women should not be too bastard. In Dong's mother's memory, I vaguely remember that Dong's father once called that person - Xiao Zou, but he didn't know what the other party's full name was.

There is almost zero information about this Uncle Zou, and Dong Jingxun doesn't even know what kind of profession she is engaged in. Mo Chen pondered for a moment, "I guess, since he can do academic research with his uncle, at least, he should also be engaged in the industry of building sides!" As the saying goes, the Tao is not the same! ”

Dong Jingxun held his forehead with his index finger, and suddenly thought of something, "That's right!" I remember that after my dad's accident, my mom asked many of his friends about the situation, and one uncle seemed to mention it. That Uncle Zou seems to be a person engaged in education, but this scope is a bit broad, and it may be a teacher or an academic researcher to do education. ”

Dong Jingxun told Mo Chen endlessly that over the years, he has been looking for people around the education work circle. Because Dong's father is doing folklore research, when looking for people, he pays special attention to who has the identity of those who meets these two pieces of information.

But there is a vast sea of people, not to mention whether Uncle Zou is still engaged in his previous job after so many visits, and whether he is still living in K City or not, is unknown.

Mo Chen listened to these absentmindedly, and inexplicably remembered in his mind the rumors about the 404 dormitory. Teachers, academic research, rumors of strange powers, and a foggy past. Is it possible that the story of the wrench finger has a silky connection with the horror rumors of 404?

"Classmates?" Dong Jingxun stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Mo Chen's eyes, and Mo Chen woke up like a dream.

Dong Jingxun asked, "Did you think of something?" ”

Mo Chen didn't want to mention the matter of Room 404 to Dong Jingxun now, after all, it was just his own conjecture, however, the suspicion revealed from the other party's eyes made Mo Chen unable to prevaricate casually.

So, Mo Chen nodded, "There is something that may be related to your story, some of which are related, but I'm not sure yet." Inevitably, because of my connections, I have misled the direction of your investigation, so please allow me to keep it a secret for the time being. ”

Dong Jingxun looked directly at Mo Chen's eyes, Mo Chen looked back at the other party without fear, a little, Dong Jingxun nodded and agreed, but he hoped that once Mo Chen found some clues, he must contact him immediately.

Whether it is a transaction or a courtesy, Dong Jingxun unreservedly got rid of his "secret", and Mo Chen always had to symbolically reply to the other party, equivalent information.

After thinking about it again, Mo Chen said, "You'd better be mentally prepared first, what I'm going to say next may be a little unbelievable to you." ”

Dong Jingxun pulled the corners of his mouth indifferently, "What else is there now, is it more weird than my father's illness?" ”

Mo Chen will find the "ghost post" and the content of the "ghost post", and tell it one by one. After listening to the story of the "ghost post", Dong Jingxun muttered in a low voice, "Ghost post? That's a fitting title! ”

Mo Chen deliberately ordered each strange thing and the time of its occurrence in order, and the origin of the initial appearance was obviously the "accident" that happened to Dong's father, and then the "ghost post", and then the package with a wrench.

"Uncle...... What year did the accident happen, can you be sure? Mo Chen asked.

Dong Jingxun thought for a while and said, "When he started researching, it was probably around 1997, and what happened in the next year should be the second half of 1998!" ”

Dong Jingxun said, he couldn't help but be stunned, the two looked at each other, Mo Chen said, "It seems that this story is really long-term!" ”

What kind of research project is a scholar who studies folklore involved in, and what kind of extension and development of this so-called project has dragged on for so many years and has not yet ended?

In the story of the ghost post, Dong Jingxun has never heard of any of the names that have appeared. Moreover, he did not think that his father would be in the mingling of a group of lawbreakers.

Dong Jingxun's mood, Mo Chen can understand, as a son, he will more or less have an innate admiration for his father. But as an outsider, Mo Chen had to rationally remind him, "One of the wrenches picked up by the group of gold diggers was brought back by my uncle." Because of Dong Jingxun's emotions, Mo Chen added, "Of course, I'm not saying that my uncle was with them, but we can't rule out that there were some accidents that we couldn't imagine back then." And the two groups of people, whose identities are so different that they never seem to have intersected, were forced to meet. ”

Dong Jingxun is not an unreasonable person, he naturally understands Mo Chen's good intentions, people sometimes have subjective emotional ties, which will affect a person's judgment when encountering something.

"Then after I go back, I will also check if I can find out the news of the 'ghost post'." Dong Jingxun said.

Mo Chen immediately stopped: "Still don't!" ”

Dong Jingxun looked at Mo Chen in confusion, "Why?" ”

Mo Chen remembered that every time the ghost post appeared, there would always be some small accidents around him inexplicably, although there was no proof that it had something to do with the ghost post.

"Nothing! It's said to be a ghost post, because it always appears on its own and then disappears. No matter how much we take the initiative to look for it, it is difficult to find, so instead of wasting time looking for it, it is better to follow the fate! Mo Chen explained.

Dong Jingxun was very surprised: "So amazing? ”

Mo Chen shrugged his shoulders and helped, "Yes! ”

The "date" of the two came to an end, and they said goodbye to each other politely, and if there were any clues after the agreement, they must share resources, and Dong Jingxun left first.

At this time, Mo Chen's mobile phone suddenly screamed, and Mo Chen took out the phone impatiently, while secretly complaining in his heart, "Every time I call, there is no good thing!" ”

As if to make Mo Chen's idea come true, as soon as he pressed the answer button, a demonic shout came from the earpiece, "Old Mo Tou!" Help me! ”
