Chapter Forty-Nine: Waiting for a Failure
But it's been two or three months, and it's long overdue to come out, so why don't you see anyone? When he comes out, who will he look for? Will you look for a brother-in-law?
Thinking of this, I decided to ask my brother-in-law, he has been back for so long, and he doesn't know what he is doing, it is time to get together.
I called him, the strange thing is that there was a busy sound of "beep" on the other end of the phone, I tried a few more times, every time it was like this, I made another call with Lin Zi, after the phone was connected, before I could speak, I heard Lin Zi's voice on the other end of the phone: "****, you guy is a dog, leave here."
You can smell it far away, come on, I have set a table at Huayue Restaurant, let's have a good meal, damn it, it's time to fight tooth sacrifices. ”
As soon as I heard that there was a dinner, I immediately hung up the phone and rushed to Huayue Restaurant.
When I arrived at the room, I was startled, because there were only two of us in the whole room, but the table in front of me was full of dishes, and there were also a pile of cigarette butts next to the forest, and it seemed that he came to the restaurant as soon as he got off the train.
I had an ominous premonition in my mind, and I always felt that something was going to happen.
Sure enough, as soon as I sat down, before I had even taken two sips of wine, Lin Zi told me the reason.
"Wealth, I came to Huayue Restaurant first after I came back from the train station, I thought, I haven't seen you for so long, I must come back with your uncle and two cups, after ordering the dishes, I went home, I didn't expect that as soon as I got home, I saw a house full of messes, all the cabinets and clothes were pulled to the ground, at first, I to
Because your uncle did it, I went to one of the points to find him, but I didn't expect that I heard the guy inside say that your uncle hasn't come back for more than a month, and he paid off the account before leaving, and took almost all the money, until this time my brain eased up, and your uncle must have had an accident. ”
As soon as I heard this, my heart immediately panicked: "Then have you figured out whether your brother-in-law did it?" ”
"No, you know the relationship between the two of us, your uncle doesn't need to do that, I think, those people who are rummaging through my house must be looking for something, but what are they looking for? I thought about it, and I only thought of one possibility. ”
"Isn't that the stone monkey?" I asked.
"Yes."
"But didn't that stone monkey disappear in the kiln?"
"No, it was your uncle who used to fool you when it was smashed by the mechanism, the real stone monkey, which was hidden in my cellar, but when I came back, I found that the stone monkey had been taken away, but I thought, the person who took the stone monkey must be your uncle, otherwise, my family would not be like that."
"Could it be that there is a mole among the people who follow Uncle Xiao and you?" Thinking of this, I told Lin Zi everything I saw before going to Yaoling and what I thought in my heart, but after Lin Zi listened, he took a sip of wine and said to me: "This person, when he was in the underground palace, was already dead. ”
"Roc? Could it be the Roc? ”
"Yes, at the beginning, my uncle and I also found out that something was wrong, we found that our business dealings seemed to be monitored, and there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands in the shadows, after a period of observation, we locked the suspicion on Dapeng's body, that trip to Yaoling, was to test him, but I didn't expect him to be
Died there. ”
"By the way, Lin Zi, do you know what's going on with the steel buckle on the backpack?"
Lin Zi looked surprised, I didn't expect this to be discovered by you, the steel buckle on the backpack was ground off by us in advance, the purpose is not to let Dapeng and their group know our specific number, because Dapeng is involved in all our things, and I am afraid that he will reveal too much, so I kept a hand.
"What about the flashlight under the cracks? Are they our people? I asked.
"Flashlight? What flashlight? ”
"Didn't you see a flashlight below us when we fell through the crack together, before I was separated from you?"
"Are you sure it's a flashlight?"
"I'm sure, it's the light of a wolf's eye, and I'm absolutely not mistaken."
Since I finished saying this, Lin Zi fell into a long contemplation, I don't know what my words mean and what they mean, because I don't know much about my uncle and their gang, I just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Zi waving his hand, I knew that it was inconvenient for me to interject now, so I picked up the chopsticks
Ate it.
Not long after eating, Lin Zi said "um", there seemed to be a little more worry between his eyebrows than before, he didn't care about eating, and he hurried back, and I was no longer in the mood to enjoy it alone at this time, I had to go to my grandfather and tell him the news of my brother-in-law's disappearance, which should have been full of laughter
private room, but in the end it broke up.
When I came to my grandfather's house, I found that there was no one at home, usually at this time, my grandfather was sitting in the yard fiddling with flowers and fish, sometimes he would light a bag of cigarettes and take a few deep puffs, there would be no one, but look at the dust on the door, this door should have been locked for a while, and my heart rose a
An ominous premonition.
I climbed over the wall into the yard, and found that the grass in the yard had grown more than a foot high, and the flowers that were competing to open were rotten because no one took care of them, and the door of the hall was hidden, and I opened it with a gentle push, and the items placed in the house were very neat, without the slightest trace of chaos, and the grandfather had just lifted it
The couplet is still hanging on the table, and the cup of strong tea on the table has long since deteriorated, everything is the same, to be exact, everything is the way the grandfather was when he left.
Looking at this dilapidated scene in front of me, I had to face the reality that my grandfather was also missing.
Suddenly, my heart was like someone stabbed and trembled fiercely, although I don't usually go home much, but I at least know that there is someone in my family who cares about me all the time, so that I at least know that there are people who really help me when I need help the most, but now, these people are all in January
disappeared, and in an instant, a deep sense of loss came to me like a mountain of mountains, and I couldn't breathe.
I found a stool, sat down and slowed down for a while, and then slowly felt a little better, looking at the night that was gradually coming, I knew that I had to sleep at my grandfather's house tonight.
At night, the sky changed, and a strong wind blew in the sky, and the whirring wind screamed like a wild cat in heat, disturbing me not being at peace, so I simply sat up, lit a cigarette, damn it, I didn't sleep.
