A month has passed, and although the events in Hezi Village are still fresh in my memory, the fear I felt when I experienced it has dissipated a lot, and my life seems to be back on track.

After this incident, Jin Zhenbang did not see me, and sent a middle-aged man to send me a check for 200,000 yuan, and after I politely declined, I pasted two pieces of paper at the door of the shop, this one read: Quit greed, and the other read: No urgency.

has been pursuing this way, and the business has improved greatly, and the rent, which can no longer be paid, was soon filled with three Bogu cabinets.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, but at the end of September, someone from Beijing came to Tianjin to find me.

The person who came was Tong Xiaomeng, I thought she came to Tianjin to return my mobile phone.

Half a month ago, I got through my mobile phone, it was Professor Gu who picked it up, saying that if you have time, you must invite me to Beijing to eat Quanjude roast duck, and return the mobile phone to me by the way, I was quite tempted after listening to it, after all, a mobile phone with a camera function was not cheap at that time, and by the way, I figured out the things in Hezi Village, but because of the business matters have been delayed until now, I didn't expect Tong Xiaomeng to take the initiative to find it.

This time she didn't wear the outdoor clothes she wore when she met before, but a pink T-shirt with a pleated skirt, plus she was already good-looking, her delicate facial features were embellished with smart big eyes, probably because she often swims, her legs are even and slender, and the whole person is full of the youthful atmosphere of a college student from the inside out.

I found a restaurant, talked about some previous things, and then pulled the topic back and asked her if she came to Tianjin just to return a mobile phone?

Tong Xiaomeng's face was gloomy, and she was silent for a long time and said, "Professor Gu is dead. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and I let out an "oh" to express regret. Maybe it was too tossing in Hezi Village last time, coupled with the violent mood swings, Professor Hu was difficult to support at this age, and I saw that something was wrong with him when I was in the ancestral hall, but I still didn't expect it to leave so suddenly.

Tong Xiaomeng didn't seem to finish speaking, she looked at me and asked, "Didn't you feel wrong when you came back from Hezi Village?" ”

"What do you mean?" I asked, puzzled.

She was still looking at me, and she felt that she wanted to stop talking, and looked around, and there were not many people in the restaurant at noon, so she poked her head and whispered, "Did that woman come to you?" ”

I was stunned by the question, and only when I reacted did I ask, "Wu Xiaomei?" ”

"It's not!" Tong Xiaomeng seemed to be in a hurry, took out a photo from her bag, and said, "Look at it." ”

I took it and looked at it, my scalp was numb, and I immediately covered the photo on the table.

The photo shows Professor Gu's remains, I looked at it should have been taken when the autopsy was done in the hospital, Professor Gu's hair was unkempt, his face was not wearing glasses, a pair of eyes were about to bulge out of his sockets, and his eyeballs were crawling bloodshot, just like parasites, densely packed, and I felt sick to my heart.

I felt numb and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Tong Xiaomeng's eyes were a little red, and she said, "The female corpse in Hezi Village killed Professor Gu." ”

Professor Gu did not die in Beijing, but in Hezi Village.

That night, after I was put in a black coffin and thrown into the river, Tong Xiaomeng also threw it into the river with a sedan chair, she found the black coffin sunk at the bottom of the river, and opened the lid of the coffin to confirm that the dead body that died with the river sacrifice to the gods, and most importantly, she took away a piece of jade pendant from the female corpse.

Hearing this, I almost understood what was going to happen next, but the only thing I didn't understand was that I had called Professor Gu half a month ago, how could he die in Hezi Village again.

Tong Xiaomeng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued: "I took that jade pendant, in fact, I wanted to use it as evidence to bring back to Beijing, but I didn't expect that after Professor Gu got the jade pendant, he took me to live in Ninghai County, locked himself in his room all day and didn't come out, and asked me not to disturb him." ”

I am very familiar with the way of doing things of these old experts, starting a good object, after figuring out the ugliness of the person will definitely not show it to the outside, one is afraid that others will steal the first credit, and the other is that these people have experienced a period of social turmoil, things are worth a lot, but some things have to be able to take out, and some things have to be suffocated in their own hands, they know better than anyone else.

Professor Gu locked himself in his room until noon on the first day of his death, and kept repeating the words "she found it", and handed the blood jade to Tong Xiaomeng, telling him that if something happened to him, he would come to me with this thing, and I would definitely be able to find a way to save her.

After finishing speaking, she locked herself in the room again, Tong Xiaomeng was worried that he would not be able to bear it with such a work, and after knocking for a long time without responding, she pushed the door in, but when she went to his room, she saw Professor Gu lying on the ground, motionless.

The little girl was frightened, turned him over and looked at him, almost half scared to death, the professor was already stiff, his body was covered with water, his mouth and ears were full of foul-smelling mud, and the expression on his face was taken from the photo, Professor Gu drowned in his room.

Professor Gu's body was sent to Beijing for autopsy, and the result of the autopsy was also drowning, the school did not believe Tong Xiaomeng's words, and stopped her class, saying that she was seriously explained after reflection, but in fact it was persuaded to quit, Tong Xiaomeng moved out of the dormitory and rented a house near the school, and as a result, strange things continued that night.

At first, I heard a knock on the door inexplicably, and when I opened the door, I found that there was no one outside, but the ground was wet, as if someone had been soaking wet, but I couldn't find any footprints.

Until two days ago, Gu Xiaomeng heard a knock on the door in her sleep, and she wanted to get up but couldn't move her body as if she was in a nightmare, and her throat and eyes were full of water, if it weren't for her good water nature, and Professor Gu's death had kept her awakened, she was afraid that she would not have been able to see me today.

I took a breath and the muscles on my head jumped.

I thought of the scene at the bottom of the river that night, when the female corpse pulled my legs and tried to drag me into the bottom of the river and drown.

Looking at Tong Xiaomeng's pale face, I asked, "What do you think?" ”

She shook her head: "I don't know, now the school suspects that Professor Gu accidentally fell into the river and drowned when I went out to collect wind with me, and the public security organs have been interrogating me, but they don't believe what I said, just like I came to ask you to go to Beijing to help me testify, Professor Gu's death was not an accident." ”

This month, my self-cultivation effect is very good, and the person quickly calmed down, looked at Tong Xiaomeng and said: "You don't care about finding the female corpse now, let me go to Beijing to help you testify first?" ”

Seeing her nodding, I said helplessly, "What to testify?" Does it prove that Professor Gu was killed because he took the lady's blood jade, and the female corpse chased him into the room, instead of suddenly dying violently? ”

Tong Xiaomeng stopped talking.

I originally wanted to ask her some details about the day of the incident, but seeing that her exhaustion was written on her face, it was estimated that the period from leaving Hezi Village to Professor Gu's death was not easy, so I thought about it and asked, "Don't you leave in a hurry?" ”

"Well, I won't go back until things get a hit." She said.

I understand Tong Xiaomeng's temper a little, I didn't plan to persuade her, and I didn't know what I could help her, so I agreed after thinking about it, but when I asked her for her identity and planned to find a hotel nearby for her, she refused to say that she was now under police surveillance, and once she used her ID card to be exposed, she came to Tianjin with a black car with her wallet.

I thought that my crime of harboring a fugitive was not small, so my ID card could not be used, and after thinking about it for a long time, I took her to open a room for her in the Three Confessions Hall next to the old dining hall.

Sanfentang is a small fame in the area of the east gate of the corner, there is no business all year round, only in the beginning of spring, the Tufuzi who goes south and north is like the toad in March, kicking his legs, picking up the dirt and running to the area of Beijing and Tianjin to be active, basically live in the Sanfentang, it is a small "underground worker" activity station, the residents do not need ID cards, but it is not very safe, and the conditions are a little simpler.

Tong Xiaomeng didn't care after looking at the room, she hadn't been to any deep ravines with Professor Gu all these years, and she had slept in the wolf's den in Changbai Mountain, compared to those places, this place was considered a Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

I smiled and said, Then you were so frightened by a female corpse that you ran from the capital to Tianjin to find me.

She didn't answer, just said she was sleepy and let me go.
