Chapter 51: Cement

(Damn, the power outage at home has been out of power since eight o'clock in the morning today, and I will update it for everyone immediately, and there will be one at eight o'clock later.)

“…… Then the old man left, the old woman in his family was like this, and we didn't care, and after the old man left, we all felt bored and dispersed. But later, the next day when the old party didn't come, I went to the old party's house after dinner in the evening, and saw that there were a lot of policemen in the old party's house. ”

Later, I asked Lao Fang's old woman, and she said that Lao Fang didn't go back last night, and she had been waiting for him to eat at home, but no one had returned. Later, this matter is like this, the police will not look for it for a few days, and his old woman will come here every day to set up a stall, and I will be idle, so I will come here to stare and see if I can find the old boy. ”

"I know so much, if there is anything else to ask, hurry up and ask, I'm going to get off work."

Guo Yan couldn't think of any other questions for the time being, and said, "Uncle, thank you, I don't have anything to ask." ”

Back at the office, Guo Yan told Lu Tingnan the news he had just learned.

Lu Tingnan said: "So you can be sure that Fang Guotao is missing here?" ”

Guo Yan said confirmed: "It can basically be confirmed, but it is not clear why he disappeared, the police wrote in the investigation report a year ago that they searched the old area here, and did not find any trace of Fang Guotao, he seems to have disappeared out of thin air." ”

"The police only searched once?"

"Hmm." Guo Yan nodded, "Let's take a look at the current clues." First, the scope of Fang Guotao's disappearance can be determined, and it is here, including the alley and the surrounding old district. Second, Fang Guotao said that he was buried, which should not be wrong. Third, he was trapped under a street lamp and had a very ...... range of movement."

Guo Yan said this, suddenly paused, a trace of realization flashed in his eyes, recalled for a moment, and said: "Baozi, I think we have been ignoring one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Tingnan was curious.

Guo Yan didn't say it directly, but walked out of the office, wiped the cow's tears, and looked at the old man under the street lamp.

Lu Tingnan came to him, also looked over, and asked, "What's wrong?" What are we ignoring? ”

Guo Yan frowned and said, "Look at the clothes on his body." ”

Lu Tingnan looked carefully and found that Fang Guotao was wearing a dark blue overalls, the kind of clothes in the factory a long time ago, the clothes were very dirty, and a lot of gray and white things could be seen sticking to it. ”

Guo Yan asked, "What do you think those gray and white things on his clothes look like?" ”

Lu Tingnan narrowed his eyes, then looked at the ground under the street lamp, and suddenly realized, "Cement!" ”

Guo Yan nodded and analyzed: "Yes, the thing on his clothes is cement!" He told you earlier that he was buried, is it possible that he was buried under a construction site. ”

Lu Tingnan said: "It's so difficult that he accidentally fell into it when Wutong Street was renovated?" ”

Guo Yan shook his head: "No, the renovation of Wutong Street was in June last year, when Fang Guotao disappeared, the entire Wutong Street had been renovated, and it was impossible to be buried under the street." ”

Lu Tingnan tilted his head, "Where is that?" Is it so hard to be buried around? ”

Guo Yan's eyes lit up, "It's possible!" ”

"Uh." Lu Tingnan's expression was embarrassed.

Guo Yan said: "There is indeed this possibility, think about it, combined with the conditions we know, Fang Guotao is very likely to be buried around." ”

Lu Tingnan laughed embarrassedly twice, "However, we can't dig up all the surroundings to take a look, there are still a lot of people living here." ”

Guo Yan calmed down, thought about it, it was completely unrealistic to dig up everything around, he looked at the street lamp, and asked a word that didn't match the front and back, "Is there a property in this community?" ”

Lu Tingnan shook his head, "This is the old city, there is no property, only the neighborhood committee." ”

Guo Yan said: "You say, if someone here uses cement to fill any potholes or shovel the lawn to repair the cement floor, do you want to tell the neighborhood committee?" ”

Lu Tingnan shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Why?"

Lu Tingnan said: "Because this is the old city!" Just like my house, it is a self-built house after demolition, and there is no property, only the neighborhood committee, but if you want to change the environment next to your home, you basically have the final say and don't need to report to the neighborhood committee. Last month, my neighbor had a hunger for the lawn outside the back door, and then rebuilt the underground water pipes, covered them with a layer of cement, and turned them into parking places. ”

"Okay." Guo Yan disagreed with this drastic change.

Lu Tingnan suddenly understood what Guo Yan meant, "Pot, what do you mean, someone buried Fang Guotao?" ”

Guo Yan shook his head, "I don't know, but it's very likely to be so." ”

"Eh, if Fang Guotao is really buried, should we notify your brother and let him solve it?"

Guo Yan said: "Don't be in a hurry, go ask Fang Guotao first, tell him what we know, and see if he can think of anything." ”

The two came under the street lamp again.

Guo Yan said with a smile: "Uncle, we found something just now, and we want to ask you to see if you can remember anything." ”

"You ask, you ask." Fang Guotao said with a smile, it seemed that he was getting more and more tired.

When Guo Yan was asking, Lu Tingnan noticed that the yin qi on Fang Guotao's body was much heavier than before.

Looks like time waits for no one.

The old man, who has been dead for a year, can't wait any longer.

According to the speed at which yin qi is generated, in two more days, Fang Guotao may really lose himself and become an evil ghost.

When asked about cement, Fang Guotao suddenly remembered something and said: "Oh, I think about it, I seem to be buried by cement, it seems that my head still hurts." ”

"My head hurts?" Guo Yan was surprised, and hurriedly said, "Master, can you turn around and let us see your head?" ”

Fang Guotao staggered and turned around.

Guo Yan and the others saw that there was a wound on the back of Fang Guotao's head, which was dripping with blood, but there was no blood on the clothes behind him.

Neither of them had noticed it before, so they didn't notice it either.

Guo Yan said: "It seems that it is really a murder. ”

Fang Guotao didn't remember what hit him in the head, but after recalling, he remembered a lot of things.

He said, "Like, it's like it's around here......"

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, his eyes began to be confused, and the yin qi on his body was much heavier.

When he came back to his senses, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said to Lu Tingnan: "Young man, you are here again." ”

Lu Tingnan and Guo Yan looked at each other, and said helplessly: "The yin qi has worsened again, and his memory has begun to be confused. ”

Guo Yan said: "It's okay, anyway, I've figured it out now, let my brother come over tomorrow to investigate, I should be able to find clues." ”
