Section 43: Investigation

When the three of them left the school and returned to the compound, it was already half past six in the afternoon, Ma Jinglei had already prepared dinner, set up a small gazebo, set up the meal, and stared at the two sisters who came home half an hour late with an unkind face.

The two sisters did not dare to speak, so they went directly to the commissary to wash their hands. At this time, Zhang Peng pulled Ma Jinglei, explained where she was going in the afternoon, and slapped her again, which made her happy. The two sisters saw that the situation was stable inside, so they came out to eat.

Ma Jinglei is very strict with them, and she will show her face if she exceeds the rules slightly. Although the two sisters have special skills, they are as docile as lambs in front of their mother, and they will only shed tears when they are wronged.

For many years, Zhang Peng has been playing the role of a lubricant among the three mothers and daughters, as long as he and Ma Jinglei are coquettish, the rain will soon pass, and all the problems will no longer be a problem. When they were children, the two sisters made a mistake and hid here with Zhang Peng. And he will also ask the reason, educate if he is wrong, and then find Ma Jinglei to persuade him.

For example, once Xiao Tianqing stole Ma Jinglei's money to buy ice cream to eat. After Ma Jinglei found out, she was so angry that her face turned blue, and she chased Xiao Tianqing with a chicken feather pole, and chased all the way to Zhang Peng's house. As a result, Zhang Peng opened his mouth and said, "I asked her to take it, I want to eat ice cream." ”

Ma Jinglei's anger immediately disappeared by half. Zhang Peng immediately snatched the chicken feather pole, twitched Xiao Tianqing's buttocks twice, and said, "Do you dare to steal ice cream next time?" The nature of the problem changed from "stealing money" to "stealing ice cream for my brother on the way".

Xiao Tianqing shed a few more tears of grievance, and Ma Jinglei's anger disappeared. Afterwards, Zhang Peng will also educate Xiao Tianqing that stealing money is wrong and illegal, stealing chickens when he was a child, and stealing cattle when he grows up, he will be imprisoned and shot......

Due to Zhang Peng's education, the cognition of the two sisters inevitably produced some errors. For example, for a long time, when Xiao Tianqing heard that a child had stolen something, he would wave his little fist and shout: "Shoot him......"

After dinner, the two sisters helped their mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and went for a walk with Zhang Peng to Xinghuo Lake as usual.

"Yo, isn't this Young Master Zhang, taking his daughter-in-law out for a walk again." The three met Aunt Huang and her wife again.

Although Zhang Peng was very reluctant to meet them, he still greeted them with a smile, "Hello aunt, good uncle." The two sisters behind him also called people, and their voices were crisp and loud.

"Xiaopeng, I heard that you have solved a big case and made a great contribution to our factory." Aunt Huang said with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhang Peng didn't react for a while, what the other party was talking about.

"Zheng Kai's mother-in-law is really not a thing, not only stealing people, but also murdering her husband, if it was put in the past, she would have to use a pig cage and sink into the Bishui River." Aunt Huang said indignantly, "Look at the old man of my family, he is more stumbling than that Zheng Kai, I don't dislike him......"

"You ......" Uncle Huang half-raised his hand, and stopped talking, the expression on his face was extremely depressed.

Aunt Huang said excitedly, ignoring her wife's reaction, looking at the two sisters and saying, "You grow up, you can't be like her, it's too bad." ”

"No~" Xiao Tianqing replied crisply, "If Brother Xiaopeng has a nervous disorder, I will feed him every day, like raising a puppy." ”

"Uh......" Before Zhang Peng could breathe a sigh, Aunt Huang had already begun to answer, "Xiaofei is really good." ”

After staggering with the two elders, the three of them continued to walk along the lake.

"You swept it over and killed all the evil spirits in the ground?" Zhang Peng suddenly asked.

"Maybe." Xiao Yunuo replied.

"Could it be something missing?" Zhang Peng asked again.

"I don't know." Xiao Yunuo shook his head gently.

"Will it be dangerous?" Zhang Peng then asked.

"It's dangerous, don't go alone." Xiao Yunuo said with a straight face.

Zhang Peng suddenly laughed in her heart, her second sentence had fully exposed her true thoughts. The reason why she answered ambiguously was because she was afraid that he would hit the idea there. If he guessed correctly, there wasn't much danger down there. At least that day, he had heard the screams of many evil spirits.

With his understanding of Xiao Yunuo, if he said that he was extinguished that day, he would definitely be extinguished. Xiao Yunuo's words have always been carefully considered, and he will only say them with more than ninety percent certainty.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that his face was different, Xiao Yunuo asked vigilantly.

"No, I'm thinking about what movie I'll watch later." Zhang Peng diverted the topic.

Xiao Yunuo seemed to want to say something more, but Xiao Tianqing stepped in first, "I want to watch "Wrestling Dad", many classmates are talking about it, saying that it is very touching. ”

"Okay, I'll download it when I get back." Zhang Peng agreed.

The next day, as the final exam was approaching, the two sisters studied carefully at home and did not follow Zhang Peng around.

Zhang Peng first went to find Lao Huangpi and Li Chunsheng and told him about the basement of Hongwei Primary School.

"You mean there's probably a baby down there?" Li Chunsheng asked.

"That's for sure, in such a big place, there must be something valuable, not to mention anything else, that is, you can get some things from that era, such as badges, coins, pens, etc., you can sell them for money."

"There must be a lot of evil spirits in this kind of place." Old Yellow Peel said worriedly.

"It's okay, I just got swept by the Broken Demon Eye, and I'm clean." Zhang Peng said.

"Demon Breaker's Eye!" Old Huangpi was surprised.

"Why, you've heard of it too?" Zhang Peng asked.

"Of course I've heard of it, it's a mythical thing, and according to legend, the vertical eyes of the Erlang God have the ability to break demons." Old Huangpi said with a look of disbelief, "You shouldn't be bragging, right?" ”

"Anyway, that's it, believe it or not, it's up to you whether you want to go or not." Zhang Peng said impatiently.

"Faith, letter is always done." Old Yellow Skin smiled lewdly. How can he be missing him in the matter of making money?

"Look, should we call a few more people, such as Zhou Fuyuan, or Xiao Qiu Xiaobei?" Zhang Peng asked.

"Xiaoqiu Xiaobei forget it, they have a formal job, and they don't want to do it if they have a little problem. Zhou Fuyuan can, he has more experience in this area, and he also has a way to ship. Also, we can eat him. Li Chunsheng analyzed.

"That Zhou Fuyuan was okay, he knew a little bit about the doorway, and he could be a man, so it was okay to cooperate with him."

After the three of them discussed, they went out to intercept a taxi and went to Chengbei Dachuan Street.

Half an hour later, the three of them came to Zhou Fuyuan's company. The latter was drinking tea with Huang Mao, and when he saw Zhang Peng, he immediately greeted him with a smile. Zhang Peng got straight to the point and directly said what he meant.

"This kind of place ......" After listening to the things in the basement of the school, Zhou Fuyuan pondered for a while and said, "It's best to be prepared, let's collect materials separately first, and then get some equipment, such as gas masks, oxygen cylinders, and preferably a few weapons, to strengthen our courage." ”

"Guns?" Zhang Peng asked. He suddenly remembered that the suspect had injured Qin Yong with a pistol that day, and he hadn't heard where the gun had gone since then.

"Don't think about guns, if you break the law, get some machetes and military stabs, it's not a big problem." Zhou Fuyuan said.

"Collecting information, what?" Zhang Peng asked again.

"Go to the city library to find out what happened there before, and it's best to find the relevant old people and inquire about the situation." Zhou Fuyuan said.

"The latter point, it should be difficult." Li Chunsheng interjected.

"At least figure out what the place was, who some people used to be, and what they probably did." Zhou Fuyuan said.

"The things of that era may not be recorded." Zhang Peng thought for a while and said.

"Try to find it, it doesn't hurt." Zhou Fuyuan said.

"It's okay, the evil spirits inside have been extinguished by the masters, so don't make too much of a fuss." Zhang Peng said.

"This ......" Zhou Fuyuan hesitated for a moment and asked, "How sure are you?" ”

"More than ninety percent." Zhang Peng said.

"Then let's try it, but you'd better go to the library." Zhou Fuyuan persuaded, "Old Zhou has a saying here, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”

"Okay, let's go down and see." Zhang Peng nodded in response.

At noon, they had a fast food in the city, and the three of them rushed to the Nanzhou City Library to find relevant materials for Hongwei Primary School.

The scope of the search is probably the school information of the Municipal Education Bureau, the urban renovation records of the Municipal Reconstruction Office, and the humanities and history materials of the Municipal Publicity Office.

It took a whole afternoon, and the information found by the three of them can be said to be very rare. However, it is also possible to infer some information from a few words.

The Municipal Education Bureau has an application report stating that there is not enough land for the new primary school and that it is applying for the land to be used as a school. From the specific content of the report, it can be inferred that before the opening of Hongwei Primary School, the place was vacant for 11 years, and only an old man from the neighborhood office was in charge of guarding it.

Then there was another report that no one could be found willing to go to the new school to preside over the work, and the old janitor volunteered to take on the renovation work.

The Municipal Renovation Office has a document, saying that when the old city was renovated, the boss did not agree to divide it into a factory, and the original words of the instructions were as follows: "The Triumph Tower was built by an earl of the Empress Kingdom, the design is simple, the pattern is elegant, contains a large number of historical imprints, and it is a second-class cultural relics protection unit in our city, which should be retained." ”

The Municipal Propaganda Department has no relevant documents, only in the historical cultural products, there is a slight mention of the sentence, "The Triumph Tower has witnessed the darkest period of history since the founding of the People's Republic of China." ”

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the library closed, and the three of them made copies of the relevant materials, returned to the compound, and went home for dinner.

After dinner, while Ma Jinglei and Xiao Tianqing were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Yunuo pulled Zhang Peng aside and asked him, "Where did you go today?" ”

Zhang Peng had expected her to ask, and had already thought of a rhetoric in advance, "I went to the computer city and wanted to install multiple computers." "On weekdays, as long as the two sisters are at home, even if they are doing homework, he rarely leaves. Now that he is going out alone, Xiao Yunuo, who is smart in ice and snow, will naturally be suspicious.

"Don't do anything dangerous." Xiao Yunuo said seriously.

"How can you?" Zhang Peng said with a smile, "You don't know me, coward." ”

Xiao Yunuo didn't speak, and gave him a blank look.
