Chapter 17: Fishing for Corpses

Ye Yan drove the car to the suburbs, or a village. The concrete road leads directly to the house.

I finally know what a rich person is this time. Ren's house is a manor, or an antique building. It is made of green bricks and glazed tiles. Such a large garden is definitely not a monument, if it is a monument, it will be used as a park, and it will not be their home.

And there are few people who know how to make green bricks. I saw this kind of brick when I lived in the countryside when I was a child. Old houses are made of this kind of brick. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is not afraid of flooding.

And now there are a lot of cars parked in front of this garden, and after all, I am here to do bad things, so I ask weakly, "What are they doing today?"

Ye Yan is wearing a shirt and tie today, she looks very handsome, and she looks three or four years older than Ye Cheng.

He said: "The old man of the Ren family has a big birthday, didn't you say it just now?"

He said it, but this scene was different from what I thought, and I couldn't react for a while. Ye Yan continued: "Don't say anything when you go in for a while, I will arrange for you to meet with Father Qiancang." When the time comes, you will say that you have that set of antiques in your house and want to sell them to him. If he is interested in talking to you, he will mention Ren Qiancang more and slowly talk about it. If he doesn't want to sell, that's all he can do. ”

I nodded and followed him in. Actually, I was nervous and scared, or I guess I had low self-esteem. But everyone is here, and if you don't try it once, you won't be reconciled.

When I entered the garden, I followed with my head down, and I didn't dare to look at it at all. It seems that there are a lot of people who vaguely know about it.

Ye Yan in front of him suddenly stopped, turned back to me and said, "Are you malnourished or the shampoo you use is not suitable?" Losing so much hair. As he spoke, he reached over and pulled a hair off my shoulder.

I looked up in embarrassment and glared at him. I saw an old man in a white Tang suit who happened to pass by us, and frowned.

Ye Yan immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"The man is familiar." I said. It's familiar, but I don't remember where I've seen it. Forget it, people are friends of rich families, even if they have seen me, they will say that they have not seen me for the sake of face. poured Ye Yan, in my impression, he is the kind of girl killer and perfect lover. How can you talk about malnutrition shampoo in such a place, and pull the hair that fell on my body. This kind of thing, unless it is a very close couple, or it will feel embarrassing.

I was taken by Ye Yan to the main venue of Dashou. This is the hall of this house. It's a completely Chinese-style birthday banquet. And the tables, chairs and benches are all antique styles. Anyway, there are so many people, I'm completely submerged in the sea of people. I wasn't worried about anything anymore and looked around.

But I didn't see the old birthday star, just everyone sat at a big table and waited. I also saw Ye Cheng and Qin Dan. Ye Cheng also looked at me with some doubts, but after seeing Ye Yan, he turned his face away. I think the two brothers are definitely at odds.

The person sitting next to me began to ask Ye Yan who I was. Ye Yan readily said that he was a friend. But from everyone's eyes, you can see that the misunderstanding has come.

I explained, "We're just ordinary friends." But looking at everyone's low smiles, I knew that the more I explained, the darker it became.

Then it's dinner, birthday greetings, and the old birthday star is out. One by one, these juniors stepped forward to bless them. I looked at so many people, and then I saw that it was dark outside, and I started to get anxious.

Ren Qiancang didn't like it when I went back too late. And I don't know if there is a bus here, how can I go back in a while?

I tugged at Ye Yan's sleeve and urged, "Can you hurry up and let me talk to Ren Qiancang's father." It's getting dark. ”

He also whispered back to me: "Look at the current scene, how can you walk away?"

It's also so many people who worship their birthdays. He couldn't just see me, a little girl who had antiques to sell her.

Ye Cheng took Qin Dan to pay homage to the old man of the Ren family, gave a gift, and said words wishing his uncle health and longevity. Then he turned around and walked over to me.

I'm still confused. At this time, shouldn't Ye Cheng pretend that he doesn't know me? But when Ye Cheng came over, he took my hand and led me out. I'm even more anxious, I've been waiting for so long, just thinking that I can say a few words to Ren Qiancang's father above. I can't just be dragged away by Ye Cheng.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing? You let go! As he spoke, he had already pulled me out of the hall. The attention of the people in the hall was all from the old man, and no one paid much attention to the few of us outside the door.

Not only me, but even Ye Yan also came out, blocked Ye Cheng's way, and said, "Ye Cheng, let go of the merchants." What are you doing? ”

Ye Cheng suddenly said, "Brother, I'm sorry, the merchant took advantage of you. The merchant came here with you to make me jealous. The merchant has been chasing me since his freshman year. But I always felt that she had no money, no power, and she didn't look very good, so I kept hanging her. But brother, now I know what a good girl a businessman is. Come with me! ”

I was not the only one who was stunned by these words, but also Qin Dan.

Ye Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he really didn't know what to use to stop his younger brother, so I was dragged out of Ye's house by Ye Cheng and thrown into his car.

He closed the car door, and as soon as he turned around, he was slapped by Qin Dan, who cried and shouted: "Ye Cheng! You bastard! ”

Ye Cheng didn't say a word, and pushed Qin Dan in. As soon as Qin Dan came in, he waved his hand at me: "You vixen! You ......"

"Stop! Leave first! Ye Cheng let out a low roar, which made Qin Dan pause. I hurriedly said: "What Ye Cheng said is all lies!" This one is heard! Qin Dan, don't you even trust Ye Cheng? ”

Maybe it's selfishness. Although Ren Qiancang trusts Ye Yan, I still trust Ye Cheng in my heart. So when Ye Cheng said those words, I saw the point of the matter after a short blank. Ye Cheng said this on purpose. He wanted to take me away from Ye Yan. But there must be a reason for taking it away all of a sudden.

Ye Cheng and I are classmates, but I haven't really been in love for so many years, just classmates. He has no right to take care of my affairs, but let him do it this time, at the risk of being misunderstood by Qin Dan, there must be such a very important thing.

Qin Dan was still saying aggressively: "What do you mean? Do you treat me like a monkey? Everyone else is watching! If you two are swearing, please don't disgust me! Don't be in front of me! Can you give me some face? ”

"Shut up!" Ye Cheng started the car and drove the car towards the city, "You calm down first, and I will explain this matter to you." If I'm not wrong, the merchant is in danger, so I brought her out like this! “

"What's the danger of her? At most, she was just taken by your brother and left in the hotel. ”

I bit my lip and my eyes reddened. In her eyes, I was that kind of woman. Her rumors in the group of classmates made many people in our class think that I am such a woman.

She was still talking there, I didn't speak, and Ye Cheng didn't speak. The car stopped suddenly, Ye Cheng got out of the car, waved his hand to stop a taxi, opened the car door, pulled Qin Dan out of the car, and said, "Qin Dan, this matter is really not what you think." I'll go to you and explain it to you when I've taken care of it and made sure that the merchant is safe for the time being. After all, it's a classmate, and I should help her too. ”

Qin Dan was stuffed into the taxi by Ye Cheng. She shouted at Ye Cheng, "Ye Cheng! You don't have to explain it to me! I'm telling you, we've broken up! I'm dumping you! I don't want you anymore! Go with that bitch! ”

When the taxi drove by, I could still see Qin Dan glaring at me fiercely in the car.

Ye Cheng got into the car again, and did not drive immediately, but held the steering wheel and was silent for a while. Or I broke the silence: "I'm sorry to cause you and Qin Dan to be like this." ”

"It's not your fault. I used to find her a little unreasonable. She said they had broken up many times. When she calms down, she will still come to me and listen to my explanations. Ye Cheng pointed to the co-pilot, I opened the car door and sat in the front: "Can you tell me why you took me away from Ren's house now?" ”

"Then tell me first, what are you doing at Ren's house? The last time you went to my brother, it was for today's business. ”

I hesitated, knowing that I couldn't easily tell Ren Qiancang's secret. Ren Qiancang's death was originally framed with murder and even magic. Before the murderer and the perpetrator are found, if this matter leaks out, it will make him even more dangerous.

Looking at my hesitation, Ye Cheng said, "When you and my brother went in, I was not far behind you. I saw my brother take something from you, and then put his hands behind his back and didn't let you see it. At the same time, a man in a Tang costume walked past him and took the thing away. Why doesn't my brother let you see what he took from you? And that gave it to someone else? ”

I was stunned, and I said, "That's hair, the hair that fell on my clothes." He told me, but I didn't know he gave my hair to someone else. ”

"Hair?! That's right! ”

"What's wrong? It's just a hair, what does he do for others? ”

"Shang Shang," Ye Cheng turned around, looked at me, and said very seriously, "Maybe if I tell you, you won't believe it." But that's true. Just today my brother gave you the hair to the man, I saw him. Although I don't know what kind of character the man is. The last time I saw him, I was at Ren's house. It is also the birthday of the old man. I was only 10 years old that year, when I was in the third or fourth grade of elementary school, I went to Ren's house with my mother to pay homage to my birthday, and instead of eating there like I did today, I slipped out to play. There must be something interesting in such a large garden. But what I saw was the old man who took your hair today, fishing with a single hair by the well in the back yard...... Fish for corpses! ”

I opened my mouth in astonishment, and I was no longer scared when I heard it. This is much milder than Ren Qiancang's bloody story.

"Really, merchant! It was more than a decade ago, but I remember the man as I am. I'm also sure it's hair. Ever since I was a child, I haven't told anyone about it, and I'm afraid that no one will believe me. When I saw the man again today, I started to get scared, and I was even more nervous when I saw my brother give him what was on you. If you stay at Ren's house tonight, you don't know what will happen. ”

My heart was beating faster. I forced myself to exhale and calm my uneasiness. In terms of time, if I really follow the plan, wait until the end of the birthday greeting, and then talk with the old man for half an hour and an hour on the pretext of selling antiques, then it is really possible to get dark.

And the man, I noticed it too, and I said why is he so familiar? I've seen him too! Where have I seen it? I thought about it for a long time, and finally I thought about it. That man was the Taoist priest who wore a Taoist robe in front of my little courtyard yesterday! He was wearing a Tang costume today, which made me recognize it without a glance. But that's definitely him! Coupled with what Ye Cheng said about him, there shouldn't be anything wrong!

The Taoist priest who appeared in Ren's house went to my small courtyard, what does this mean? I was scared, so I hurriedly got out of Yecheng's car, and without even giving him an explanation, I stopped the taxi, and got into the taxi and reported the name of the small village where I lived, and urged people: "Master, please hurry up." Can you get there before dark? ”
