"Why?" I was slightly surprised. He said: "If he wants to test you, he doesn't need to use such a complicated device at all, just send a message to your mobile phone and see if you reply to the agreed message." These computers and all these things are redundant. I thought about it, it made sense, and said, "What do you seem to think?" ”

He said, "It's certainly not a trap, these two computers must be useful, and that person has indeed been living under this house all along." Otherwise, you won't see those quilts when you go down. ”

"Didn't you say that these two computers are basically not used?" I said, "How do you understand the contradiction?" ”

"Contradictions to contradictions, Caesar's to Caesar." He said, "It's very simple, this person lives below, but he doesn't rely on this computer, this computer, to communicate with you. It's a trap, but this basement below is not. ”

I took a drag on my cigarette: "And what do they rely on to communicate?" ”

All the conversations above can be heard in the basement, but I can be sure that the people below can't hear them anywhere.

"Maybe you don't need to communicate?" "Maybe it's not hiding, it's surveillance?" he said. ”

I just thought about it for a second, and suddenly it was like five thunderbolts, and the previous contradictions were all eyebrows.

The modification in the third uncle's computer was not modified by himself, maybe the third uncle didn't know that there was such a room in the ground of his house, and he didn't know that his own computer was connected to another computer. I don't know that everything I say can be heard, and all the information of the third uncle can be intercepted by that person.

Who is this man? It's like a roundworm that lives in the stomach of the third uncle.

I sent my classmate away, promising to pay within three days so that he could continue to ponder. Tell me immediately if you have any new ideas.

After that, I sat in the miscellaneous things in the yard, behind the table where the third uncle drank tea. Leaning back in his chair and making a phone call. I called the second uncle, and I asked him, "When was this house built by the third uncle?" ”

The second uncle groaned. He didn't answer, but suddenly asked me, "Where are you?" ”

I prevaricated and said a place, but the second uncle still groaned, obviously not particularly convinced. His tone was a little strange, and I always felt that something was wrong, but I didn't want to know more about it at this time. Just asking. The second uncle told me: "The foundation of the house was laid in the 70s of the last century, and I don't know if it has been rebuilt several times after that." At first, there was only a small bungalow, and later the third child made more money. Slowly expand up. The longest expansion was in 1988, when he lived in my house almost all of the time. ”

After the second uncle said this, he suddenly threw a sentence: "Don't toss around lately, stay in Hangzhou." After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.

I always felt that my second uncle was busy with something, and after hanging up the phone, I thought about it and called my father.

I leaned there smoking and chatting with my dad without thinking about a particular question. It's just a conversation without a word. Also think about some small details that will help my own reasoning.

It's been a rare time in the past few years that I've chatted with my dad so happily, and my dad has been blindsided. Halfway through the conversation, he cautiously hinted to me: "Little evil, are you out of love?" What's so sad to tell Dad?"

I smiled and said that my father was quite sensitive, and he could hear that I had something on my mind. But I know my dad too well, and even if I tell him everything, it won't help.

From the chat with my father, I took out the whole process of our Wu family from Changsha to Hangzhou. After listening to it, I found that this is simply a series: especially the story of my grandfather and Huo Xiangu and my grandmother. Listening to that historical recording, it is simply a particularly good feature film.

My grandfather became famous in Changsha. He was very young when he became famous, and he was the first Tufuzi to train to smell the soil with dogs. A well-trained dog. The efficiency of cave exploration is ten times that of a human, and the dog can keenly smell all kinds of fire oil mechanisms, and even smell whether the zongzi is a corpse.

From the time my grandfather trained his first dog, his fortune was built up extremely quickly. In a few years, he may already be the number one in the entire Changsha City: the number one who knows the location of the ancient tomb, the number one who has not made a move, and so on. Including even Zhang Da Buddha's subordinates, they will come to ask my grandfather for his position:

At that time, although the Huo family, the Qi family, and the Xie family were already famous, the Huo family was forced to slowly focus on management because of the particularly serious civil strife, and no one went to the ground (it is easy to lose troops and lose generals), and the Qi family has always been good at management, tepid, Xie Jiuye has just returned from Japan, and my grandfather's accumulation in the past few years has even exceeded the accumulation of several generations of the Qi family.

My grandfather was quite proud when he talked about this experience at the time, and kept saying: "Technological innovation is productivity, especially in the traditional industry of inverted buckets, a little innovation can bring earth-shaking changes." ”

My grandfather was in Changsha for a while, when he was young and legendary. But there is no arrogance at all, he spends money like dirt, but he is amiable, this kind of person will definitely have countless friends to make friends, and countless friends are full of admiration for him. His relationship with Huo Xiangu began here. At that time, Huo Xiangu was still older than him, and she liked him to death.

Later, I encountered the Changsha case mentioned before, Jude Kao betrayed everyone, and my grandfather's family wealth was scattered, and he hid in the ancient tomb for a while. After that, he fled to Hangzhou. Xie Jiuye had already risen at that time, although the wealth was not as strong as my grandfather, but because the family foundation was there, the network was wide, and he was good at management, so the Xie family became the best one in the old Jiumen in terms of political and business relations, and it was through the protection of Xie Jiuye that my grandfather met my grandmother:

At that time, it should have been my grandfather who lived in my grandmother's house first under the introduction of Xie Jiuye (my grandmother and the Xie family are relatives, and my grandmother was responsible for taking care of my grandfather. Without explaining to Huo Xiangu, he was directly defeated by my grandmother. Of course, my grandmother didn't know about it at the time

At that time, the situation in the whole country was in chaos, and even letters could not be communicated. This matter passed slowly. About two years later, when Huo Xiangu came to Hangzhou. My grandfather has already married my grandmother, and my grandmother is already pregnant with my father: Huo Xiangu didn't see my grandfather at that time. I just politely chatted with my grandmother in the room for an hour and left.

From then on, everyone knew about each other's existence. also knows how the other party is doing, but they will never see each other again.

No one knows what they were talking about that day. I just heard from the next person, and they had a good chat.

When my grandfather heard the news, he must have been sweating profusely. I couldn't help but sympathize with him when I heard it:

It was about three years before my grandfather continued to push the business back to Changsha, and after that, he basically lived back and forth between the two places. Every time I go to Changsha, my grandmother must accompany me, and my grandfather and Huo Xiangu never have a chance to resurrect. In another year, Huo Xiangu will marry in Beijing. My grandfather was still emotional when he said it. At the time. Felt terrible and left. But I also feel melancholy.

My third uncle should have entered the industry on his own at the age of thirteen, first mixed the land in Changsha, and then gained some experience and money, so he came to Hangzhou and bought the current land: at that time, I didn't buy this concept, I got it through a relationship, built a house, and slowly changed the focus to business. The place has been expanded many times and is also getting better and better.

The second uncle has been doing academics. He opened the teahouse about seven years ago, not to make money, but simply to have a place to meet with his friends. I've never seen a woman around my second uncle. He doesn't seem to be a drop of safflower. But maybe it's because the second uncle is very thoughtful, and no one knows about his. My dad left home very early, and at that time, he went from the south to the north to do geological exploration, and only returned in the late 70s of the last century.

After coming back, they got married and had me, my wife is a strong family, a girl from a local eunuch family in Hangzhou, and then divorced my father every day for a while. It almost annoyed me to death.

The whole process of the Wu family in Hangzhou is very clear and clear at this point. Now the question is. How did the room under this building come about? It was dug before it was built. Or was it done at the time of the heavy arrival?

If the third uncle himself did not know about the existence of this secret room, then this secret room must have been done secretly. Therefore, it is unlikely that it was designed when it was originally repaired, and it is likely that it was excavated during a later reconstruction.

I learned how to build and I knew that digging a basement was not an easy task, so I went out and walked a few steps, measured by my pace, and soon I realized that things were not as complicated as I thought.

The exact location of this basement is not under the third uncle's house, but under the wall that meets the next room.

I looked at the building next door, I never paid attention to it. The farmer's house here is very dense, every time I come to the third uncle, I always go directly to the second floor to see the goods, and I won't stay too long, who is next door, I really don't know.

My mind was in a mess. He walked to the door next door in a daze, and knocked on the door.

It was a tin door, a particularly familiar and sturdy kind of security door for peasant houses. After a few knocks, I found a note on the door that had almost peeled off, saying "There is a room for rent" and a phone number underneath.

No one came to open the door, I knocked for a long time, but there was no response. I took out my phone and dialed this number:

The voice rang three or four times, but no one answered.

I looked around and saw that there was no one, so I found a place to climb over the wall and jump in.

I was so agile that I was taken aback, and it seemed that this was the result of two years of "going to the ground". After I landed, I found that the house should be unoccupied, and the yard was depressed, full of fallen leaves. I was wondering where these fallen leaves came from, when I saw a few more falling leaves. As soon as I looked up, I saw that there were some plants planted on the roof of this house, and the plants had been left untended for a long time, and they were all dead, and the leaves were falling from above.

I measured this courtyard with my pace, and found that if someone wanted to dig a passage from here to the downstairs of the third uncle, it was indeed feasible. But I have to know when it was dug up.

I walked to the door of the building, and there was a curfew here, which was a large copper-clad door. This one has no taste, and the brass gate looks golden and magnificent, so many rural landlords like this kind of door.

Although this door looks tacky, the performance of the insurance is really excellent, I guess it can't be blown up with ordinary small explosives, and this kind of door usually has six or seven latches, and it is really difficult to pry it up.

How can I get in? I thought about it, and saw that the second floor was also heavily barred, and all the windows were wrapped tightly, as if it was specially designed to prevent a large group of burglaries. Just as I was about to call someone to help, suddenly my phone rang, and I saw that it was the phone I had just dialed back.

I picked it up, and it was a man's voice inside, asking me what I was doing, and I said I was going to rent a house

Son, he said, "The house has been rented out a long time ago. ”

I said, "No way, the house has been unoccupied." The other party said: "The house was rented out nineteen years ago, and the note may not have been torn off." For 19 years, the rent would come on time every year, so I never asked when I was out of town. ”

Nineteen years ago? I was stunned for a moment, looked at the layout of this house, the house of nineteen years ago would definitely not be the way it is now, this house must have been renovated, so I asked him if the house had been repaired in the past nineteen years.

The other party said that he didn't know, and he couldn't manage it, anyway, the money increased by an increasing percentage every year, and after speaking, he asked: "Is something wrong?" I said, "It's nothing, I just want to rent a house." As I said that, I had an idea, so I asked him, "Can you give me this person's contact information, I want him to be a second landlord and rent me two houses." ”

The other party was quite enthusiastic, said to wait, and quickly reported the phone, saying that he himself had not been in touch for a long time, and if there was any problem, he would continue to call him.

I listened to the warmth in my heart, and my heart said that there is still warmth in the world after all. So, I dialed the phone number he gave me. Rang a few times and no one answered, I put down the phone to see if I had dialed the wrong number, and suddenly, I saw a name pop up on my phone screen, and this number was in my phone number book!

Looking at the name, I immediately pressed the phone, and said to myself, shit, it can't be. (To be continued)
