Chapter 38: Exploring the Ancient Well at Night

Shi Ting and I were startled, Shi Ting turned around and smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll talk to him about something." ”

Jiang He remained silent: "Is it necessary to get up at three o'clock to talk?" ”

I cleared it up while helping: "That's it, I was shocked to be woken up by you." ”

Jiang He still didn't look silent: "You didn't forget to bring your clothes when you were scared." ”

Shi Ting wanted to say something, Ding Yao also appeared at the staircase, she looked at the two of us and then at Jiang He: "I'll go, you two are sneaky aren't really doing it, right?!" ”

I have always believed that the work of interrogation should be more undertaken by women, even if it is torture to extract confessions, women must do a better job than men, whether it is physical endurance or psychological endurance, men are congenitally deficient.

Ding Yao pretended to be confused at the beginning, and she insisted that Boss Su's visit was unusual, and the conversation with Shi Ting was full of tacit hints. And she also noticed that the whispering and eye contact between Shi Ting and me after the barbecue were clearly the rhythm of men meeting and stealing joy, and the café opposite her mouth became a place of wind and moon.

Jiang He kept smiling and looking at me, and I didn't say anything, I knew that I didn't need to say more, although Shi Ting kept explaining nonsense, I knew that he couldn't bear this trick, because his ass had always been unclean in history, but he couldn't be wronged in this regard. I just need to look at the timing and the mud problem to solve it.

Sure enough, when Ding Yao was about to collect things and leave, I saw Shi Ting's vacillation, so I pushed the boat down the river: "Just tell the truth, there are no outsiders here." ”

This sentence is undoubtedly the best way to betray relatives and friends, and the person who says it is inconspicuous, and it is basically difficult for those who listen to it to refuse. Shi Ting then told the ins and outs, and Ding Yao was so shocked that he grew up again: "It seems that I still have to pack up my things, and I accidentally followed the rich second generation, if I don't show some gestures, will it seem that I am greedy for money and love vanity?" ”

Shi Ting said that in the end, he was a little unsure about his dream of digging treasures, and even a little embarrassed, and said weakly: "As for it? We're just going to investigate and let you go online like this and wronged people. ”

Jiang He suddenly said: "If you make it clear, then go and come back in half an hour." ”

Ding Yao was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Jiang He said: "I have read anthropology and archaeology, and in my understanding, once people move the idea of rummaging through the wallets of their ancestors, the desire to dig is difficult to stop. Although the story clues of his heirloom are very thin, the existing evidence is also lonely, and the evidence itself is mostly speculative and imaginary, but there is no strong reason to completely overturn it at present, if you don't let him go today, he will still go at another time, it is better to watch them play under his nose, and then die of this heart. ”

After turning off all the lights, Jiang He and the others did not come down upstairs, Shi Ting and I sat on the stairs at the gate, and Shi Ting's old god was saying, "Move again in a few minutes, let your eyes adapt to the environment." ”

I asked Shi Ting, "Have you figured out how to explain it in case you are discovered?" Your whole plan of action is also too sloppy. ”

Shi Tingman didn't care: "We came out in the middle of the night just to avoid being coveted by people with intentions, that is, what if we were discovered?" The place is open for business, and I'm a neighbor, so we said that I accidentally threw the bracelet on my wrist after drinking too much, and I was not allowed to look for anything all the way from our house? ”

I shook my head and could only say, "Your reasons are always far-fetched, how hard do you have to throw the bracelet out of someone's yard?" Let's talk about looking for a dog, we brought a poodle and ran away, just say you just bought it, don't get involved with girls. ”

Shi Ting ran back to speak with the girls, and when he came back, he said to me, "Let's go, the dog's name is Tiger." ”

"You name a poodle Tiger?"

"Hmmm! Is it called a cat?! ”

The mountain between the two villas is not completely level, and the isolation from each other is just a formality, and the two of us can easily climb over it. It was dark inside and outside the café, and it was extraordinarily quiet.

Shi Tingmao took the road with his belt, and he was a few steps away from the fence to the mouth of the well. He gestured to tell me the specific location of the well, and sure enough, only a corner of a stone strip was exposed, because for the villa in front of this location is also quite corner, so the finishing is not very careful, half of the well is occupied by a cluster of triangular plums, and the lawn on the surface is paved to this with more weeds, so it looks inconspicuous, and there are many corners on Gulangyu Island that seem to have a lot of articles.

We pressed the degree of solidity of the soil, and Shi Ting even lay down and sniffed and knocked, I don't know what the significance of this so-called survey is. Stine motioned for me not to move, and he returned to the fence, reaching back through the fence and fetching a box from the grass. He whispered to me, "I'll send you before I wake you up." ”

He opened the box and took out the instruments inside, and I helped, and the two of them quickly assembled it, a very delicate metal detector. He pointed to the box and said, "Open the umbrella." ”

I opened the umbrella, Shi Ting turned on, and after a low charging sound, the LCD screen lit up, and I pressed the umbrella down to block the light as much as possible. Shi Ting searched back and forth on the well, then searched again at a different metal frequency, and whispered to me: "I can probe this thirty meters deep." ”

He changed the frequency a few times, his face became more and more ugly, he suddenly stopped the operation, quickly shut down and disassembled the equipment, I didn't ask much, put away the umbrella and put it in the box. We tossed the box back to our side and prepared to find the lowest spot on the fence and go back the way we came.

I suddenly had all my muscles activated, my hair was all over the body, this was an instinctive reaction of animals to smell danger, I glanced at the dark window of the café, a woman stood there motionless in front of the window on the second floor, her face was pale and gloomy by the moonlight, her eyes were sharp and expressionless, this zombie-like person was actually Boss Su! Then a man appeared next to her and looked at us viciously together.

Shi Ting also saw them at this time, and was obviously taken aback, and scolded in a low voice: "Look at NMB!" ”

At this time, it is obviously inappropriate to go away with a big horn under the noses of others, since you have to show off if you pretend to be fine, Shi Ting and I almost unanimously raised our hands and said hello to Boss Su. Boss Su opened the window without saying a word, and Shi Ting pretended to be relaxed: "I'm sorry to disturb you, my girlfriend is crazy and I don't know where to dump the jewelry, so I looked for it all night." ”

Shi Ting's brain turned fast, Boss Su is very likely to see us using the instrument, and besides, looking for a dog is not looking for an Iron Man dog. Boss Su still didn't speak, the man turned to leave, the smiles on the faces of the two of us were about to stiffen, and when he was about to leave, the lights on the first floor turned on, and Boss Su said, "Come in and talk." ”

Shi Ting and I looked at each other for a while, and we both knew in our hearts that we could only face the problem, when my mobile phone vibrate, and Jiang He sent a WeChat message: "Was discovered?" ”

I replied as I walked: "I'll go back when it's done." ”

Boss Su and the man both stood at the gate, smiling and greeting us, as if we were two customers in the morning. It's right to think about it, how big of a deal can it be for them to cross a yard, and they can turn against us?

Shi Ting's mouth was full of apologies, and it was still the same rhetoric about looking for jewelry. Boss Su said with a smile: "Mr. Shi is really extraordinary, he lives in a villa with his girlfriend and carries a metal detector, if I am not mistaken, it is a high-end product made in Germany, a hundred thousand." ”

Shi Ting smiled innocently and embarrassedly, and didn't look like pretending: "I'm engaged in pipeline engineering, and I originally brought it to check the old pipeline of this old house, but I didn't expect it to be used." ”

"Oh." Boss Su nodded with a look of understanding: "Just now I saw Mr. Shi walking over alone in the dark, throwing such expensive equipment in the grass and leaving, I thought you didn't want it at the time, and I almost picked it up." ”

Shi Ting and I looked at each other, it seemed that people had already seen through it, and they had been watching us do all the actions before showing up deliberately.

Boss Su still smiled very kindly: "Let's sit down and talk, do you want to drink some coffee?" ”

Shi Ting said seriously: "I will go back and make up for sleep, so I won't drink coffee." ”

Miss Su pulled out a chair, the smile on her face was a little more indisputable, and I said, "Then drink some juice." ”

The man really brought a few glasses of juice right away, and then sat down next to Boss Su. I couldn't help but look at the man twice, he was about my age, tall and lean, and he had a feeling that I was familiar with, but I couldn't put it into words.

Boss Su doesn't know what the purpose of this posture is, it seems that he doesn't plan to give up, but what can he do? Fell out and called the police to say that we went into the backyard without permission? After all, we are neighbors, claiming to have crossed the line by looking for something, although this kind of statement sounds weird in the middle of the night, but we have no motive and behavior to commit the crime, and when the time comes, it will be nothing more than a loss of someone to adjust and apologize.

Boss Su was still smiling, if it weren't for the zombie face I saw just now, I would have thought that she had plastic surgery failure and left sequelae, she said: "It's best for smart people not to go around in circles when they talk, wasting everyone's time to make up for sleep, everyone needs to make up for sleep, right?" Mr. Shi has also done a lot of work in the past month or so, and I have been watching it, in fact, we are happy to see it. For so many years, we have been desperate for you, and we have wondered if no one in the Shi family knows about this anymore, but it seems that it is not. It's just that your preparation has taken too long. ”

Shi Ting continued to play dumb: "What preparations?" ”
