Chapter 42: A Terrible Guess
Sun Yang came out of the ward, but saw Cao Fang and others negotiating something with two men in black suits at the door.
“…… Sorry, Mr. Cao Daoping is a very important party in this case, and we must know what happened to him as soon as possible. Once he figured this out, he could go wherever he wanted. ”
"Sun Yang!" Lu Xiaoling saw Sun Yang coming out of the ward, so she shouted.
"Sun Yang! You've come just in time! These people are so unreasonable! Cao Fang also said that she obviously hoped that Sun Yang would be able to negotiate with them.
Sun Yang is a little big-headed, although he has always kept in touch with Ma Bin and Dai Baichuan, and has also had a lot of contact with Li Xuebin and Zhang Chengmin of the Zhijiang Special Case Management Office in the past few days, but in essence, he feels more and more clearly that he is actually still the control object of a special case management bureau.
To cite an inappropriate example, his relationship with them is more like that of a gangster willing to cooperate with the police than a collaborator who can bargain with them on an equal footing.
But he still had to bite the bullet.
"You two, can you take a step to speak?"
The two agents looked at him and went with him to the side.
"I have been with Director Li Xuebin and Director Zhang Chengmin of your bureau for the past few days." He pulled the tiger skin up first. "I totally understand the frustration of both of you, and there are some things that really need to be figured out as soon as possible. But Master Cao Daoping's condition was very bad, and the hospital did not allow him to say too much from the perspective of his body. If it's convenient, could you please keep the question as concise as possible, preferably if you can ask him to answer it briefly? It's convenient for everyone. ”
The younger of the two agents frowned: "If you have been on the scene for the past few days, you should know how serious the situation is now, we don't know what is running out of it, let alone how much damage it will cause." Do you understand the seriousness of the problem? How can these questions be streamlined? ”
"I am also one of the parties, Cao Daoping was rescued by me, and he was already unconscious when that thing escaped. I don't think he knows much about that thing. ”
"It's up to us to judge." The older agent said.
Sun Yang took a deep breath: "Okay, but I ask the two of you to try to let him talk less and don't let him get emotional, okay?" ”
"That's fine."
"We need someone to be with him." Sun Yang continued.
The two agents hesitated.
"Okay." The older agent said.
Sun Yang went over to discuss with Cao Fang, and although Cao Fang was not very willing, she still agreed that Lu Xiaoling, who knew what had happened better, would go inside to accompany Cao Daoping.
Sun Yang and Xu Hai kept comforting her outside, and after about ten minutes, the door finally opened, and the two detectives and Lu Xiaoling walked out.
"You can go and handle the transfer procedures for him now, but the Linjiang Special Case Management Office will take over this matter." The older agent said.
It's cold to say, but it's good news.
"What did they ask?" After they left, Sun Yang asked Lu Xiaoling in a low voice.
"I can't say a word or two." Lu Xiaoling replied.
They began to be busy with Cao Daoping's transfer to the hospital, Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling couldn't help much in this matter, almost all of them were handled by Xu Hai, Sun Yang knew that the Xu family still had some connections in Linjiang, and many things could be handled through special procedures. And Cao Daoping's accumulated favors over the years also played a role in this matter, and the CEO of a company even transferred his own private jet to them, so that they could send Cao Daoping back to Linjiang.
His condition was gradually improving, but it had not yet reached the point of getting better, Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling had been out for several days, so they decided to go back to Yuanshan first, and then take time to go to Linjiang to see him after he was better.
But when they said goodbye to Cao Daoping, he had to talk to Sun Yang alone.
"Dad!" Cao Fang couldn't help but shout.
"I promise you that I won't care about these things anymore, but I'm going to have to give an account of some unfinished business, right?" Cao Daoping said.
Cao Fang could only walk out.
"Master Cao?"
"You should have guessed what I'm looking for?" Cao Daoping asked.
Sun Yang's mouth was full of bitter taste, and he nodded silently.
"After Lu Lou's death, I have been thinking about Heihezi, and I have also gone back to investigate." Cao Daoping said. "After that night, something happened that couldn't be explained by common sense. Do you remember this place? There was a small village called Tiger Leaping Stone, and all the dozen or so people in the village suddenly disappeared, even the livestock they raised, sheep, pigs, dogs, chickens and ducks. I've been to that place and there's only one explanation, something powerful and evil has struck that place. ”
"Do you remember the words of those people on the night Lu Lou died?" Cao Daoping continued, an unhealthy flush suddenly welling up on his face, but Sun Yang knew that this was not the time to dissuade him. "I've always had a bad thought, maybe we worked hard that night, and even sacrificed Lu Lou's life to destroy something, but it's not as simple as we imagined."
Sun Yang couldn't help but clench his fists.
"Why did that person fight to stop Lu Lou's thunder spell even if he didn't want to die? Why is Zhang Laogen obviously a victim, but he is willing to live in isolation for decades and become a weirdo who is not understood by others? Why do they feed those bugs regularly? Why did he save you? These questions have always puzzled me, but what if the two giant worms we killed, the unreasonable tombs we destroyed, were not the evil things we thought they were at all, but the key factors that were used to seal something more terrible and evil? ”
Cao Daoping's voice was like rumbling thunder hitting Sun Yang's eardrums.
"A lot of problems were solved at once, but once I had this thought, I couldn't calm down." Cao Daoping shook his head and said. "Lu Lou and I have caught demons and monsters all our lives, but in the end, we personally released a demon that needs to be sealed with that kind of evil array, if this is true, then the old man, I can't die with peace of mind."
"No......" Sun Yang said in a hoarse voice.
Cao Daoping shook his head, and then continued: "We have all checked those things in Heihezi before, and we can't find any new clues, so I began to think that this kind of thing may not be the only one. If I find something the same as Heihezi, then I might be able to find the answer. If my conjecture turns out to be true, then I might be able to find a solution to the problem. ”
"But that thing in Nanyou is not the same as Heihezi."
Cao Daoping nodded: "It's really different." But I didn't notice that at first. ”
