Task VIII

Wen Shu stopped, and Jin Ke went over to wake up Gao Xiaotian, who was sleeping in a daze next door: "Hack into their monitoring system and check the movement in the corridor last night." ”

Gao Xiaotian yawned and turned on the computer. Jin Ke walked to the corridor and looked at the position of the camera, and when he returned to Gao Xiaotian's room, he saw that Wen Shu was already sitting next to Gao Xiaotian, looking intently at the computer screen.

"Did you find anything?" Jin Ke deliberately squeezed between the two of them and asked Gao Xiaotian, who was typing on the keyboard.

"I couldn't see anything from last night. It is estimated that someone has tampered with it. ”

"Forget it, let's pack up our things and go back, and don't do anything about these mushrooms." Gao Xiaotian closed the computer and looked at the two.

"I don't think it's that simple, maybe the other side wants to cover up something, and the reason why they came to warn us is that we are close to the center of the matter." The more Wen Shu spoke, the more excited she became.

Jin Ke also nodded: "Pack up our things, let's go to Liu Shengya's wife to have a look." ”

Since Wen Shu and Jin Ke both said so, Gao Xiaotian couldn't leave.

Wen Shu took out the phone and called Sister Na to report the latest situation to her. Sister Na on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds: "Since the other party has a warning action, it proves that you are in the dark and the other party is in the dark, Wen Shu, you have to think clearly, if you continue to follow up and report this matter, what kind of consequences will it bring to you." ”

Wen Shu thought for a while and said, "I didn't think about it so much, I just knew that I couldn't help but want to find out the truth of the matter now." ”

Sister Na paused: "Okay, then you should be careful." ”

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, the three of them settled the account and drove to Liu Shengya's house.

According to the address, the navigation indication is actually 2 kilometers away from the east, but there is no road in the straight direction, and I walked around for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain in front of a lonely tile house with a front and back yard.

Next to the house was a sick locust tree, with sparse and rotted leaves, covered with hoarfrost. The sunlight was blocked by the nearby mountains, and the whole house looked cold and damp. In front of the door, there are ashes left over from burning coins, and the paper money that has been blown away by the wind surrounds the front and back of the house, giving people a eerie atmosphere.

Jin Ke was not afraid of this, shook the paper ash on his clothes, and stepped forward to knock on the door. After a long time, there was the sound of crutches inside, the door creaked open, and behind the door stood an old woman, who looked to be almost sixty or seventy years old, but wore clothes that looked like the styles often worn by people in their thirties and forties, and always felt that it was indescribably awkward and weird.

"Who are you looking for?" The old man glanced at the three of them and asked Jinke.

"Hello, we're looking for Wang Fang." Jinke replied.

The old man glanced at them: "I am, who are you?" ”

"Are you Wang Fang?" Jin Ke wondered in his heart, that Liu Shenggen is Liu Shengya's elder brother, and he looks like he is in his early fifties, how could his younger brother marry a woman who is almost seventy?

With doubts, Jin Ke tried his best to be tactful: "We were Liu Shengya's customers before, and we heard that Lao Liu was gone, so we came to take a look." ”

"Oh." The old woman glanced at a few people, and finally opened the door a little wider.

Jin Ke and the others rushed in, the courtyard was deserted, and in the main hall, there was a photo of Liu Shengya, which was a portrait of a middle-aged man who was full of energy and heroic posture.

Jinke burned incense, and the old woman invited the three of them to sit down at the guest table.

Gao Xiaotian sighed and spoke first: "Old man, I didn't expect Lao Liu to leave so suddenly, we should have come earlier." Gao Xiaotian said this, and he thought so in his heart, he regretted that he didn't come a few days earlier to ask for debts, and now he is estimated to be really blind.

"Don't call me an old man, I'm not old, just call me Sister Fang." Wang Fang said.

The three of them were stunned, Gao Xiaotian was straightforward, and asked, "Sister Fang, how old are you this year?" ”

Wang Fang poured tea into everyone's cups and sighed: "I was only 40 years old the year before last, but I didn't expect to be widowed at this age, and I don't know what to do in the future." ”

Jin Ke and Wen Shu glanced at each other, and their hearts were shocked, if Wang Fang's age was really in his forties, then this old dragon clock didn't look like he should be in his forties.

"Your children didn't come back to see you?" Jin Ke asked Wang Fang with a knock on the side.

"Hey, I didn't leave him a man and a woman." Wang Fang said and wiped her tears, "If I really had a child, I wouldn't be so desperate." ”

"What kind of disease did Liu Shengya have, wasn't he fine some time ago?" Wen Shu remembered that when her colleagues contacted her before, she hadn't mentioned her illness, which meant that this was a recent thing.

Wang Fang twitched: "I don't know." Just last week, I saw that something was wrong when he was lying in bed at night, and he couldn't breathe, and when I called the emergency number to take him to the hospital, he didn't work, and the doctor said it was heart failure. ”

Jinke didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

Wang Fang wiped her tears, and then said: "It's all fate, the old Liu family may have a family disease in this area, and none of their brothers have good hearts." ”

"Old ...... Sister Fang, is there anything you need our help with? Wen Shu looked at her lonely appearance and asked.

Wang Fang sighed: "Thank you, girl, you are really kind-hearted, I am a lonely person, and I can still do some work now, but I am alone, nothing." It's really a person who goes to tea and cools, and before Shengya, he made so many friends of wine and meat in the society, and when he heard that people died, he didn't come to see any of them. The three of you are willing to come today, so stay here for a meal at noon, and I thank you. ”

In order to see if there is a difference between the bamboo fish and sheep soup made by Liu Shengya and Liu Shenggen brothers, and whether there is anything else strange in it, Wen Shu nodded, the whole thing is too strange, Gao Xiaotian looked at the gloomy house and didn't want to stay, but seeing that Jin Ke nodded, he could only bite the bullet and hold on to not letting Wen Shu underestimate him.

At noon, the sky changed a little, the clouds obscured the sun, and the already weak sunlight was blocked by the sick locust tree next to the house, and the shadow was just over the dining table. Wen Shu helped Wang Fang serve the freshly cooked matsutake mushroom and bamboo sunflower fish and mutton soup, Gao Xiaotian served rice to everyone, and Jin Ke moved the small bench with a lot of eyes.

"It's stuffy in the house, but everyone can cool down in the yard." Wang Fang coughed a few times and said.

"Sister Fang, I'll start first." Gao Xiaotian knew that it was this smell as soon as he smelled it, he stretched out his chopsticks, and before Jin Ke could stop him, the food had already entered Gao Xiaotian's mouth.

It's delicious, it's delicious, that's the taste!

Gao Xiaotian swallowed it with satisfaction, a unique fragrance of mushrooms, combining the deliciousness of fish and mutton, and drinking a mouthful of white fat soup, leaving a fragrant taste on his lips and teeth. After swallowing it, there will be a sweet fragrance, which is more mellow and stronger than what you eat at Liu Shenggen, and people can't stop at all.

Seeing Gao Xiaotian eating happily, Wen Shu also took a sip, the soup was in her mouth, and some simple sheds flashed in her mind, occasionally from the gray shed roof to the green leaves and sky outside, and saw the sky outside, although the color of the fungus is also gray and black, but this feeling, more nature, should be wild fungus.

Jin Ke saw Gao Xiaotian's delicious exaggeration, half-believed, and ate the mushrooms, the taste was soft, but there was no lack of chewiness, I have to say that this taste is indeed much better than Liu Shenggen's.

The three of them ate a meal, and Wang Fang didn't move his chopsticks.

After eating and drinking, the topic was shifted by Jinke to the relationship between the Liu brothers.

"I heard that the two brothers of the Liu family broke up because Liu Shengya stole something from Liu Shenggen. Is that really the case? Wen Shu asked.

When Wang Fang heard this, Ai Ai's emotions suddenly became excited, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This is a rumor spread by him Liu Shenggen, I dare to put the words here, Sheng Ya is now like this, he is harmful, if I die one day, he will definitely not be able to get rid of it!" “

After speaking, Wang Fang was so emotional that she coughed wildly, and suddenly she didn't come up in one breath and fell to the ground.

Wen Shu was dumbfounded, and the three of them pinched the middle of the person and pinched the tiger's mouth, so that Wang Fang calmed down. Jin Ke poured a bowl of water for Wang Fang, Wang Fang drank a few sips, suddenly pushed them away and stood up, opening his mouth to laugh. Jin Ke had never seen this formation, and pulled Wen Shu back two steps, and the water in Wen Shu's hand was also sprinkled on the ground, and Gao Xiaotian was so frightened that he immediately jumped a few meters away.

"I'll take you up the back mountain to see something." After laughing, Wang Fang looked at them, as if she had made up her mind, and strode into the back room, and there was no need for crutches.

Wang Fang came out of the house again, and there was a large string of keys threaded with black rope in her hand. Jin Ke looked at it, there must be twenty or thirty, one of which was more conspicuous, larger than the others, and the hole where the key passed through the rope was wrapped with a red rope, and a green bead fell from the red rope.

Wang Fang pointed the way, Gao Xiaotian drove around the back mountain, there were several rows of bungalows from a distance, the bungalows were against the mountain, surrounded by green trees. The car stopped, Wen Shu helped Wang Fang get out of the car, and a man came out of the house, Jin Ke looked at it, and both sides were stunned, isn't this the bald head who fought yesterday?

The bald head didn't expect the three of them to find this place, and ran back with a "whoop". This sound made Wang Fang shudder, if it weren't for Wen Shu's support, maybe he would have sat on the ground.

The bald head had already taken refuge in the house, and Jinke rushed over with an arrow.

Wen Shu helped Wang Fang to the front of the house.

"Zhao San, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Wang Fang shouted into the room tremblingly.

Chased by Jinke, the bald head hid in the yard.

Wang Fang took a few breaths and touched his face: "Could it be that he saw a ghost?" ”

Wen Shu only felt that the hands supporting her were getting heavier and heavier, so she could only stop and ask, "Sister Fang, what's wrong?" Wen Shu stopped and asked.

"I think I'm dying, Zhao San must have seen my soul out of my body, and I have no strength in my legs now." Wang Fang's voice trembled.

"Sister Fang, we have seen that bald head before, and there is a little misunderstanding with him, it is estimated that he recognized us and ran away because he was afraid, not what you said." After Wen Shu finished speaking, she turned her head and said to Gao Xiaotian, "Call them out, and take a stool by the way." ”
