"I ......" Yang Xinfu suddenly wanted to speak and stopped.

"Do you have something unspeakable?" I asked.

"It's hard to say, I just don't know how to tell you, it's a bit complicated." Yang Xinfu still has concerns.

That's fine, it's not that I don't want to say it, I just don't know how to say it.

"It's okay, the night is still very long, you can think slowly and talk slowly." I said to him calmly.

Yang Xinfu didn't speak immediately, as if he was really thinking about how to organize his language.

During this period, I kept staring at Yang Xinfu's expression, but this time I found that Yang Xinfu's expression was very strange at this time.

He was calm at first, then began to observe each of us quietly, and then after a while, he withdrew his gaze and began to hesitate.

His movements became slightly contradictory, his limbs stiffened for a while, his fingers clenched into fists, and then he seemed to be nervous, and his face was a little uneasy.

It was as if he was fighting against something.

After another while, Yang Xinfu finally stabilized, and it seemed as if he had made up his mind to speak.

"Do you remember a secret I told you?" Yang Xinfu asked me with a serious expression.

"What's the secret?" I asked directly.

"I once told you that I am a little different during the day and at night, in fact, I just wanted to tell you that there seem to be two people in my body. I don't know if he seems to know everything about me, and I can only vaguely guess a few clues about him, so I probably don't have much to say today. ”

I nodded, and then said, "It's okay, you tell me everything you know first." ”

He added: "Actually, what I said to you before is true, I didn't lie to you, those things are all my own experience now, I just didn't tell some details that even I didn't figure out at the time."

As for the one in the day, I don't know anything about what happened to him, but I just guessed from what you said that whether Manjuan's death was related to the one in the day was also related to me, if that was the case, then I ...... I'm not enough to die to apologize. ”

After Yang Xinfu finished speaking, there was a long dead silence and indifference in the air.

I seemed to hear someone sigh quietly, and then looked at Yang Xinfu, in his stagnant eyes, there were faint tears overflowing, tears flowing down his cheeks and dripping on the chest of his white shirt.

"Since you don't know anything, then how did you go to let the ghost go just now?"

I don't really want to be aggressive, I just hope to find some clues in these questions.

"Letting the hell go? I don't know what that means. Yang Xinfu said with a strange expression.

"What?" I'm a little angry, I grabbed him, how can he still beat him to death and don't admit it, this person's mouth, is every truth, it's really hateful.

"He probably really doesn't know." He Zhiyong suddenly walked out from behind the decorative screen next to the lobby.

What's going on, am I already so bad alert now, why didn't I notice it just now.

But at the moment, I didn't bother to think about why he was staying behind the screen, and immediately asked, "How do you know?" ”

He Zhiyong smiled bitterly and said: "Because I suddenly remembered that the night before Ajuan's death, the female ghost in the old mansion came to our dormitory, and after scaring people, I saw a window on the opposite side of the female ghost, so I also paid special attention to the resident, and when it was daytime, I vaguely saw the person who came out of the suite."

Although that person looks exactly the same as Teacher Yang in his current state, as long as he observes carefully, he should be able to distinguish it. For example, just now, the person who came in with you, did you notice that his eyes were calm, and he didn't even look at your place much, don't you think it's strange? ”

I turned my head to look at Yiya, and asked with a gesture in my eyes, "Do you see that?" ”

Yiya nodded and replied: "That's right, in fact, I already have a rough idea in my heart, if you hadn't forced the current Yang Xinfu out just now, I probably already knew who he was." ”

"Whoever has seen the man should be able to distinguish between the two. It's just that I don't know why, that man never shows his true face in front of you, but pretends to be. But if it weren't for his strange behavior, I wouldn't have even suspected Mr. Yang at the beginning, and I suspect now that maybe it was that man who had been getting along with my wife at the beginning, not Mr. Yang. ”

"Then how is this good, Mr. Yang, he doesn't know anything, I can't just rely on inference to find Xu Manjuan's soul, right?" I said regretfully.

"Silly girl, I didn't say it, I already have a general direction in my heart, although I don't dare to confirm it, but ** is not far from ten." Yiya comforted me.

"Classmate Ning, if I let him come out, will you be able to find out where Ajuan is?" Yang Xinfu said.

I nodded.

Yang Xinfu suddenly smiled, with an unclear sadness in his smile, and said: "Then let him out now, you must ......."

At this time, without waiting for Yang Xinfu to finish speaking, Yiya, who was standing beside me, said: "Even if you let him out and enter my building, even if he has great ability, he can't escape." ”

Yang Xinfu slowly closed his eyes, muttering in his mouth, not knowing what he was talking about.

By the time he opened his eyes again, the man's eyes had changed.

Lin Shuqing, the eldest girl of the Lin family's second master, Lin Chao, came back from vacation, and as soon as she put down her luggage, the urban public security bureau made a phone call to her home, looking for the old gentleman Lin Fugui, for a major event that happened three days ago.

The incident took place next to a stone dam by a ditch near the entrance of Wai Shu Ping Village on the outskirts of Kowloon City.

It is said to be a dam, in fact, the locals picked up hundreds of pounds of big stones one by one into the river, built a stone pile of barrage, can not pass people, can not completely cut off the flow of water, the effect is only to let the river flow rate drop, in order to wait for the dry season to intercept the river water, water the farmland on both sides of the river.

During this period, it was hot, and it was so hot everywhere that it was about to burn, but the banks of the ditch did not calm down because of this, and many crops were ripe in this season, and there were those who chose vegetables on the shore, and those who bought and sold vegetables were all freshly picked and sold in the field, and many people in the city rushed to the outskirts of the city to buy them.

The banks of the river have become a farmers' market.

People come and go, and people are mixed.

Just to the west of this locust tree, there lived a drunkard, and the daimyo no longer knew what it was called, but he knew that the people on the ping at that time called him a potmaker, because he used to burn casseroles.

The tinkerer's wife was a blind man, and she fell a few years ago, and she was sick in bed, and before she waited for two months, she died without leaving a son and a half daughter, and then the tinkerer became a widower. In the future, no one cares, and the potmaker doesn't burn the casserole anymore, and he gets drunk and dreams all day long holding his two pots of horse urine, and he is so poor that he can't eat, so he goes to do some petty theft.

The people on the ping looked down on him the most, but it was difficult to do anything because of the neighbors' affection for many years, which fueled him a lot of arrogance. This potsmith is not very capable and greedy, but with such indulgence, his skills are more and more varied, especially the ability to steal chickens and dogs at night is even more outstanding.

The potsmith stole nothing valuable, that is, on the bank of the river, the vegetables in each field, in order to avoid being discovered, the potsmith always has a little bit in each field, and then takes it to the ditch to wash it, and carries it to the pedestrian street in the city before dawn, and sets up a stall to sell the stolen vegetables.

On this day, the clouds and the moon were dark, and the potsmith carried the basket to the ditch of the river, and waited until the people on both sides of the river were clean, and the potmaker began to do his business, and when he stole a basket full of tender cabbage, it was already midnight, and the potmaker carried the vegetables to the side of the dam, and he put the basket to the side, and was about to drink two sips to warm his stomach.

At this time, there was a person who had just finished carrying the goods ordered by the boss and walked back to Huaishuping. Just hit the bank of the river. The two of them were still former brothers, and it wasn't until the potmaker was drunk all day long that the relationship with many people became estranged.

The man kindly told him: "In the middle of the night, you squat by the river and drink, beware of letting the water ghosts beckon, next to this dam is the deepest part of the river, and no one can drown anywhere else, and it is indeed possible here." And you don't know, these days, people often say that they see unclean things near the water. He also said that in the early years, there were children who drowned in this place while playing, and the children died cheaply in those years, and the corpses were not fished out. ”

The potsmith chirped: "Don't scare Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has been in this place for so many years, and he has never seen anything amazing in this ditch, but there is really something, Ye Hao is also a ghostly character, are you still afraid of him?" ”

The rewitting man took the opportunity to talk, walked over, took the potmaker's flask and poured it, and the two began to talk without a word beside the riverbank.

He asked behind his back: "You're here to do this again, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" ”

The potsmith smiled and didn't answer, and asked the back: "What's the matter with you today, which one did you smoke and come back so late?" ”

He was smug on his back: "Don't talk about this, I really took on a big job today, I gave more money thieves, but I also had more things, and I have been carrying it since the afternoon until now." ”

The potsmith snorted slightly contemptuously, and said in disbelief: "I don't know, how much money have you only seen?" ”

The back-to-back also scolded: "Blow your mother, it's like you've seen how much money, and then wash the side dishes you got from stealing chickens and dogs." ”

As he was about to leave, the potmaker was about to wash his basket of vegetables, when there was a sudden gurgling sound in the river.

The silence of the night is completely different from the sound of insects.

Like the movement in the water, the two of them were curious, and got up and looked at the water surface in the faint moonlight, but today the moon was dark and the stars were sparse, and the water surface was pitch black, only faintly seeing ripples on the water surface, and there was a black thick black thing on the side into the water, leaving only a small section at the water's edge.

The potsmith turned out to have seen a water snake in the river, and when he saw the scene, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Water snakes are generally not venomous and not aggressive. There are people who eat snake meat in the city, and a big snake can be sold for ten or so yuan, which is much more cost-effective than the potmaker selling a basket of vegetables for money.

A fortune for nothing, how could the potsmith let it go.

The dam is said to be the depth of the water, in fact, it can flood the depth of an adult, even if it is dragged in, there is no problem, the potsmith summed up, and said with a back: "It may be the water snake in the river, I heard that the snake meat is expensive this year, if it is a little poisonous, it can also be sold to the old Chinese medicine doctor in the city, it is said that it can be sold for a hundred yuan, it should be the time to come to run, quickly help my brother bring the flashlight by the vegetable basket." ”

After speaking, the potsmith reached out and grabbed the black thing, grabbed it in his hand, and immediately felt that something was wrong, it was a hemp rope, the end of the rope suddenly moved, and the strength was quite strong, what else could not be dragged underneath?

The potsmith tugged at it and found that the thing underneath was quite heavy, could it be a big thing? The potmaker tugged on the rope and let the torch shine on the water.

The light of the flashlight is not bright, and when it shines on the water, I can only see a long black shadow under the water, and I can't see what it is.

At this time, the night was dark, and the timid man with his back was a little scared, so he handed the flashlight to the potmaker and said: "Brother Potmaker, you are busy first, the hour is not early, I have to go first, my daughter-in-law is still at home and waiting for me to go back......"

After speaking, he turned his head and pulled his legs to leave.

The potsmith had just drunk two sips of wine, and this time the alcohol was up, and the potsmith's arrogance came up, and he didn't answer the flashlight, but grabbed his back with one hand and said, "Where are you going?" You'll have to watch me get this thing out of the river before I go. ”

I wanted to leave, but because this potsmith is usually an old man, he is the most unreasonable, if anyone provokes him, he is shameless, and he can do anything. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. The back-to-back didn't dare to offend the little man of the potmaker, and saw that he couldn't walk, so he had to continue to use the flashlight, and the potsmith dragged the rope desperately, pulling out the black shadow in the river little by little, and finally couldn't pull it anymore, so he put down the flashlight and came over to drag the rope together.

As soon as the flashlight was turned off, it was dark everywhere, and the two of them worked together to bring the thing almost to the shore, and they couldn't see what was in it, anyway, it was a big mass, and it smelled of a dead pig, and it stinked.

The potsmith touched the flashlight and took a picture of the thing, and this photo frightened the two of them back, and shouted: "Oh my mother, it's a dead man!" ”
