Shi Ting said: "Do you know who the other party is, just call the police?" Call the police and say that someone asked me to dig treasure together? ”

Jiang He said: "The most critical issue now is to figure out what kind of things are involved and who the other party is, especially the latter. ”

I said, "Anyway, it's definitely not as simple as burying a treasure in a well, how can an heirloom be dug for decades and still have someone guarding there?" I think everyone should have noticed that the woman said that the passage has been opened, so it is not a question of a well, this is a passage, where does the passage lead? I turned my head to look at Shi Ting, hoping that if he really had something to hide, he would be honest now.

Shi Ting looked at us left and right with an innocent expression: "I really know so much, otherwise I wouldn't think that I can do it by calling a buddy, the heirloom I think about the most should be a hundred and ten catties of golden Buddha statues and other things, which are not large and relatively heavy, and it was not easy to take away back then." It can't be too big, because it's unlikely that anyone has never seen something too big in the house for so many years. It seems that I am completely thinking in the wrong direction, let's not speculate, it is better to go through the beginning, it is easier to understand the problem and make suggestions. ”

Jiang He said: "It's a waste of time to start from the beginning, in fact, there are a few key issues to be understood. The first question is what are they looking for? As I said earlier, it can't be the heirloom thrown into the well as I originally thought, the well is so big, it should have been dug for so many years. Combined with Boss Su's description, it is more likely that this well is just a passage to a certain place. Now we can be sure that this well was drilled by Shi Ting's great-grandfather, combined with the history of their family's internal crossing, it should be quite accidental to dig a well in that location, this well opened a passage and led to a certain place, so the heirloom that Shi Ting said may not be an item at all, but a place, and your ancestors called this place an heirloom. However, in this place, the Shi family's secrecy can be understood as wanting to monopolize it, and it is strange that the internal language is unknown. ”

"When your great-grandfather was liberated, he didn't leave until the last moment, maybe he couldn't bear that place. After sealing it up, he didn't explain to his juniors, he probably didn't want the descendants of the Shi family to set foot in that place again, just like some smokers who smoked a lot of cigarettes went to an opium house, and they couldn't control it but didn't want their families to get addicted to it again. ”

"It has been almost sixty years since Shi Ting's family dug that well to the confiscation of the house, and it has been sixty-three years since the house was confiscated.

"I've said a lot, and to sum up, we're dealing with a mysterious place where people know very little and expect something of value from it, so we've spent decades researching it."

Shi Ting nodded frequently, and then said: "Jiang He's analysis is similar to what I think, I think it's very reasonable." The second question is who the other party is, and I have more say in this, because after losing the property rights liquidation in the 80s, our family has been guessing for more than 30 years. The original owner of the villa opposite ran away before liberation, and the well was dug up during the period between the 50s and the 80s before the property rights were cleared, so it has nothing to do with the original owner, who not only occupied my family's land, but also probably occupied the villa by the same means. ”

"Before the 80s, there was no real estate market in China, everything was allocated by the state, who had the ability to occupy that villa and that piece of land in one go? This Boss Su said that he came from Beijing, but I believe this, with the kind of ability they were able to mobilize court resources at that time, I also believe what kind of unit or department it is. At that time, the property rights information was not disclosed, and even the explanatory letter to the court was kept confidential. ”

I nodded in agreement, and I continued: "And they have a very strong ability to investigate our background, and the identity information is nothing, they can find out Jiang He's return time and the specific time of my return to Shanghai so quickly, then it must go through the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau and the civil aviation management department, who has such magical powers?" It's definitely not a second- or third-rate sect, the other party's ability should not be underestimated, we have to think clearly about whether we want to continue to participate in this matter, what do we continue to do? ”

Ding Yao was already so nervous that his face turned pale, and he said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes, this kind of person can't be provoked!" ”

I signaled her not to be nervous, Shi Ting held her hand, and I continued: "Let's analyze Boss Su, she is probably holding back too long to open a café and guarding a well here, and as soon as Shi Ting appeared here, she thought she had found a breakthrough, so that she dug a big hole for herself with preconceived and random judgment, and fell into the whirlpool of self-proof. Look at what she describes us: Shi Ting's great-grandfather and Shi Ting both studied architecture, in fact, it was just accidental, but she thought that the Shi family had made a long-term academic preparation for that place, and specially trained a college student to study architecture decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which was ridiculous, but she thought she had discovered a secret. However, this also shows that she thinks architecture is helpful in this matter; In addition, it is a complete coincidence that Jiang He returned to China half a month ago to find me, just because he studied anthropology, and she also considered it a useful talent specially recruited, I don't understand what needs expertise in architecture and anthropology, the ruins of primitive tribes? It can't be underground on this island in the sea, right? There is also semiotic cryptography, which is my father's specialty, and she also sees it as of special significance, I don't know where she got the confidence to say that my family study origins, who would regard this kind of learning as family learning? ”

Sting interjected, "She may think we've been preparing for a long time, and I've deciphered something from your father. ”

I nodded and continued: "Even so, Boss Su completely misunderstood us, why should we continue to participate in other people's misunderstandings?" We actually have reasons and opportunities to refuse. We just don't know anything about that place, we don't know what problems we're going to face. I stared at Stine and asked, "Do you think it's fun to be confused and have high hopes from others?" What if you mess up and the other person turns the other side? Tell me why you insist on participating. ”

Shi Ting was silent for a while, and then said: "I am contrary to your judgment, they seized my family's land and dug my family's well to find that place, naturally suspect that my family may have more inside information, our family has not moved for decades, they thought that with the death of the elders, no one in my family knows the secret." But what I'm doing these days has changed their minds, and this comeback decades later will make them even more convinced that we don't know much, and you say we can say that if we don't cooperate, we won't cooperate? After decades of guarding, they finally had this opportunity, how could they give up? We took the instrument and scanned it dozens of meters deep, and were invited into the house to drink juice, and then said that we didn't understand anything? You just said that Boss Su was stupid, what do you think she will do with people who don't cooperate? ”

"I also know that I dare to promise that people are in danger without knowing anything, but if you stand in my shoes, you know that there is no choice, and you think that there is a choice because you feel that you are an outsider and have the right to quit. As for the development of the cooperation after the development is difficult to say, you can only take one step at a time, maybe punch the master to death, maybe soon be found that the ability is too poor and be abandoned, but it is better than being guarded by others for a lifetime, right? If they want to turn their faces and poison them, we can't escape from anything, and there should be no objection to this judgment. ”

He thought for a while and said to me: "You also drank the juice just now, and Boss Su also listened to it, you can't escape it, I've dragged you down." Let's stop dragging the two of them down any longer, they haven't been involved in anything anyway, and tomorrow we'll say they don't know. ”

I thought about it right, and said to everyone, "Let's go back to the third floor and sit and talk, don't be too nervous." ”

My room was on the inside, so everyone sat on the floor in the moonlight. Ding Yao stood up again and said, "I'll go to the toilet first, what they said scared me to death." ”

We didn't wait for her, Jiang He said: "Now that we can't escape, according to some information obtained tonight, can Shi Ting follow this direction to find relevant information at home?" Perhaps what was once inconspicuous now has great value. ”

Shi Ting said: "I can't guarantee this, I can try to collect it, but I have to reply tomorrow, and it's too late." ”

I said, "Tomorrow there is no rule to share all the information from the beginning, and it makes sense that we refuse to share it." ”

At this time, Ding Yao came back, and Shi Ting said, "You go to the toilet faster than spit?" Ding Yao's voice was full of frustration: "After walking a few steps, I found that there was nothing and came back." ”

Jiang He said: "Yes, don't talk too much tomorrow and don't promise anything, and push back the time of cooperation as much as possible." ”

Shi Ting came to the spirit: "That's right, let's just say that we are exploring the path today, just a preliminary verification of the feasibility, the action plan is not complete, if you want to cooperate with them, you have to make full preparations, push her for a month or two, I can also collect some more information." ”

Ding Yao said: "It's best to push it for ten or eight years, it's best to change your mind tonight and don't agree to cooperate, I always feel that it's too dangerous to get involved." ”

Shi Ting said to her: "You and Jiang He don't have to participate, from now on you have to remind yourself that you don't know anything about this, your attitude and expression can't be revealed, and the time has come to test your acting skills." ”

Jiang He said: "Ding Yao doesn't need to participate, Boss Su also said it, I can't see why she participated, but if I quit Boss Su, it is likely that we will suspect that we are playing a slippery head to retreat, I must participate." ”

I said, "It doesn't make sense, it was a coincidence that you returned to China, that girl is full of nonsense, we don't need to follow her." ”

In the dark, Jiang He's eyes stared at me like cats and said, "I will go wherever you go, if you don't let me go, I will take you away, I want to see what they have to find us all over the world." ”
