Chapter 25: The Mezzanine in the Drawer
The evil spirit is released, the heart is like a mirror, I feel that the whole person has become very relaxed, and even Zhao Guangan's roar seems to have become less harsh.
After that, I pushed the door open and entered the bedroom.
The temperature inside the house was at least 10 degrees cooler than outside, but the air conditioning was turned off, and the ceiling fan on the roof was also stopped. On the wall directly across from me, there was a book-sized black-and-white photograph of an old man with a smile on his face and eyes on Zhao Guang'an.
The woman was taking out a medicine bottle from the drawer of the desk, she carefully looked at the instructions posted on the bottle, and then came to Zhao Guang'an's bed, apparently wanting to feed Zhao Guang'an medicine.
But as soon as Zhao Guangan saw the bottle in her hand, he immediately closed his mouth, and began to struggle even more frantically, and when he twisted his body, the four legs of the bed were rubbing around on the ground, making bursts of sharp noise.
I asked the woman, "What kind of medicine is that?" ”
She grabbed the rope on Zhao Guang'an's body, trying to calm Zhao Guang'an, and responded to me in a rough manner: "The doctor said that it was to help me sleep, I think this medicine may hurt my brain, and I haven't dared to let Lao Zhao take it, but ...... But he didn't look like this before! ”
If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Guangan only started to go crazy after seeing me, and I think it should be something about me that caused him a strong irritation.
I silently walked to the bedside, and he turned his face and glared at me fiercely, as if he regarded me as an enemy.
But I didn't bother with it, and after I came to the bedside, I pressed one hand on Zhao Guangan's chest to stop him from continuing to flutter, and grabbed his chin with the other hand and broke it hard.
His mouth was torn open on the spot, and a muffled cry came from his throat, and his eyes, which were already bloodshot, now looked even redder, as if they were soaked in blood.
Seeing Zhao Guangan's current appearance, the woman became very nervous.
In order to divert her attention, I talked to her: "Who are you from Zhao Guangan?" ”
The woman faced Zhao Guangan and was stunned for a long time before answering me: "I am his wife." ”
Zhao Guangan looks at least in her fifties, but her age is in her early thirties, at first I thought she was Zhao Guangan's daughter, but I didn't expect it to be his wife.
I asked her again, "How many pills are you taking at a time?" ”
She looked at the bottle: "Half to one." ”
I said, "Pour out a piece." ”
She unscrewed the cap of the bottle and pinched a pill out of it.
I said to her again, "Put the medicine in his mouth." ”
Now Zhao Guangan's wife can hardly think normally, and she will do whatever I say.
As soon as the pill was entered, Zhao Guangan shrunk his neck, and kept stirring his tongue, trying to push the pill out.
I pressed his jaw to prevent him from opening his mouth, and rubbed it on his neck again, and his body shook hard at first, trying to resist, but I still pressed his chest so hard that he couldn't move at all, and after that, I saw his throat constrict.
The guy finally swallowed the pill.
Zhao Guangan's wife said that this medicine is used to help sleep, I thought he would be able to fall asleep soon after taking it, but I didn't expect Zhao Guangan to be alive, and after about an hour, he slowly closed his eyes. During this time, I kept him pressed to prevent him from breaking the rope because he was struggling too hard.
When people go crazy, the strength is very great, don't look at Zhao Guangan's thin figure, the rope that can be used to bind his hands has been torn very thin, and he may break at any time.
It wasn't until Zhao Guangan fell asleep that his wife said to me: "The little master is really a capable person, the time the eldest brother came, the three of them couldn't get him, I didn't expect you to be able to suppress Lao Zhao by yourself." ”
I could hear her tone of voice becoming more relaxed, but it wasn't the time to take it easy.
"Where's the copper coin?" I asked her.
She didn't answer me, just quickly opened the bedside table and rummaged through it in a hurry.
opened three drawers one after another, but Zhao Guangan's wife couldn't find the copper coin, and then she ran to the writing desk, opened the drawer, and continued to rummage.
I raised my chin towards the posthumous photo: "Who is the old man in the photo?" ”
Zhao Guang'an's wife stopped what she was doing, and also glanced at the posthumous photo, and then said to me: "This photo was picked up by Lao Zhao from outside, and I don't know the person in the photo." ”
I said, "How do I feel, it looks like a posthumous photo?" ”
Her body shuddered violently at my words, but she didn't say anything, and began to rummage through the drawers again.
Things don't seem to be quite right, even if this posthumous photo was picked up by Zhao Guangan from outside, it shouldn't be hung in the bedroom all the time, who would put this kind of thing in the place where they sleep?
Even if Zhao Guangan hung that photo on the wall when he was crazy, now that he is tied to the bed, the woman in front of him has a lot of opportunities to remove it.
But why didn't she do it? In addition, when I asked about the posthumous photo, her silent reaction made people suspicious.
After calming down, my mind was much brighter than usual. Now I can also vaguely feel that the woman in front of me may not be as ordinary as it seems on the surface.
She rummaged through the drawer several times, as if she was deliberately stalling for time.
I slowly leaned behind her, and looked carefully at the contents of the drawer, which contained only a few books and a few small scattered objects, and at a glance I knew that the copper coin was not here, but she had wasted so much time.
"Hey!" I called her from behind, and she immediately turned to look at me, her eyes full of wariness.
Looking at her appearance, I immediately frowned, but I still said, "Did you find it?" ”
She quickly closed the drawer and shook her head at me, "No." ”
When she spoke, she deliberately avoided my gaze.
There's definitely something wrong with this woman!
And the way she scrambled to close the drawer also made me realize that there must be something in there that she didn't want me to see.
I reached out and pushed her aside, her body was very light, and even though I tried to retract my strength, she was pushed by me and staggered, and fell to the ground on the spot.
I didn't bother with her, just quickly ripped the drawer out of the whole drawer.
There are not many things in the drawer, but the weight is about the same as the stone bell I used when I practiced high throwing, about 30 catties.
I poured out all the contents of the drawer and tested the thickness of the drawer's bottom with my hands.
I have been working with Boss Lu for more than a year, and I still know a lot about this kind of wooden furniture, like a general drawer, the thickness of the bottom plate is about one centimeter at most, but the bottom plate of this drawer is more than five centimeters thick.
There is a mezzanine!
After Zhao Guang'an's wife got up from the ground, she looked at me nervously, she didn't dare to step forward, so she watched from a distance.
I ripped off the side panels of the drawer in front of her and emptied everything out of the bottom panel.
At first I thought she had hidden the copper coins in the mezzanine, but what slipped out of them was a large pile of yellowed old paper.
I picked up one of them and looked at it, and saw that there were some neat lines and frames drawn on it with a signature pen, and when put together, it looked like a map, and there were a few words written in the upper left corner of this paper: Qingyun Mountain Tomb, Fu Dou.
Fudou? Co-authoring their family is really a tomb robber!
I threw the yellow paper in my hand on the ground and raised my chin towards the bedside table: "Is there a mezzanine?" ”
Zhao Guangan's wife just looked at me nervously, but she didn't say anything.
Just by looking at the expression on her face, I knew that the drawers of the bedside table probably also had a mezzanine, no wonder she rummaged through all the drawers in the room in a hurry, as long as she rummaged through the drawers and told me that I couldn't find a copper coin, I was unlikely to turn it over again, and I wouldn't find a mezzanine in the drawer.
Looking back, it didn't seem reasonable for her to keep flipping through the desk drawer just now, after all, she didn't want me to find out about the mezzanine, but she tossed around the desk drawer for so long......
Thinking of this, I glanced at the posthumous photo on the wall again.
It was only after I asked about the posthumous photos that Zhao Guangan's wife panicked, and she was already nervous, and it seemed reasonable to do some unreasonable things in a hurry.
However, whether she and Zhao Guang'an are the inverted Tufuzi, and who the people in the photo are, it seems that they have nothing to do with my mission this time, and I don't bother to care about these things, so I put my mind back and asked her: "Where is the copper coin?" ”
This time, she finally squirmed and spoke: "I...... I don't know, I really don't know! ”
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was already half past nine, if I couldn't find the copper coin in half an hour, don't think about going back to the ghost string tonight.
Putting away my phone, I glanced around the room a few more times, and the entire bedroom, except for the bedside table and a writing desk, was only the bed under Zhao Guangan.
His wife had gone through all the drawers, and since the copper coins were not in the drawers, they must be in bed.
I quickly walked to the bed, turned over the pillow, untied the rope on Zhao Guangan's body, carried him on my shoulder, pulled up the sheet and looked at it.
Nothing.
"Where does he usually put his copper coins?"
As I spoke, I put Zhao Guangan down, grabbed his fingers again, and forcibly broke his hand.
Zhao Guangan's wife watched silently from the side, not saying a word, and not answering my questions.
I searched Zhao Guang'an for a long time, and finally found a copper coin in his trouser pocket, but the copper coin I was looking for should be engraved with the words "Netherworld Tongbao", but the copper coin on his body only engraved four yin hexagrams on one side, and the other side was very smooth, and nothing was engraved.
I took the copper coin and shook it in front of Zhao Guangan's wife: "Take a closer look, is this the copper coin that Zhao Guangan brought home?" ”
She leaned in to my hand, looked at the coin, and then nodded at me firmly.
