Chapter 12: Who Killed

Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo walked to the position next to the old man, and the old man was also staring at them, and the two of them carefully sat in a seat away from the old man.

"Uncle..."Lei Baoquan spoke first, "we met yesterday. ”

The old man looked at Lei Baoquan's face and nodded slowly.

"Uncle, to be honest, we know who you are... So..."Lei Baoquan had to think about it for a long time when he spoke, for fear of annoying the old man.

"So, what the hell do you want?" Jin Guo continued.

The old man looked at the two of them, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Do you think that the death of those two people last night had something to do with me?" ”

Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo looked at each other for a moment and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"It's nothing to do with me." The old man emphasized again.

Lei Baoquan saw that the old man didn't seem to be so terrible, so he sat forward a little more and asked, "Uncle, we saw them get out of the car with you yesterday, and today we found that they died at the door of the police station. ”

On the old man's gray face, a pair of somewhat prominent eyes glanced at Lei Baoquan again, and said, "It's a girl." ”

"What?"

"A girl, hehe, this girl is a frequent passenger of this car." The old man said with a smile, but this smile made people panic.

"Uncle, you can be clear, what girl?" Jin Guo was a little confused.

Li Bai sat next to the car door, and saw that the two of them seemed to have a good conversation with the old man, and there was a little less fear in his heart, and the sense of fear decreased, followed by curiosity, Li Bai happened to have an extremely curious heart. Because he couldn't hear what the three people were saying, he moved forward little by little, and finally sat down next to Jin Guo.

"They pulled me out of the car last night, and my neck still hurts." The old man rubbed his neck as he spoke, making a "gurgling" sound, like the sound of bones breaking. All three swallowed at the same time.

The old man continued to say quietly: "Then a kind girl saw that I was so pitiful, so she reasoned with those two people, and the three of them quarreled. Alas, I was too old to think they were in a hurry, so I left first. ”

"Uncle, aren't you clearly deceiving people?" Li Bai couldn't help but interject in the back, "Who are you...... Everyone knows this, even if those two people die because of you, the police can't find you, there is no need to tell this lie, besides, how can any girl quarrel with others because of you at night? ”

The old man looked at Li Bai again with a pair of dead fish eyes, and Li Bai swallowed the rest of the words from his gaze and leaned back.

"Do you think that girl is an ordinary person?" The old man said with a grin.

When he said this, the three of them were stunned, what does this mean? Could it be that this woman he is talking about is......

"Uncle, let's stop playing dumb riddles, just tell us what's going on." Lei Baoquan said.

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "What did you see at my house just now?" ”

The three of them were puzzled, and Li Bai asked, "We haven't been to your house, what can we see... You mean the grave? Li Bai remembered what he had done just now, and didn't dare to look directly at the old man.

The old man nodded, and Jin Guo said, "I saw a tree between the grave and the tombstone. ”

The old man smiled and said, "This tree grows in my grave, and my house is rainy and leaky, cloudy and windy, otherwise I wouldn't have come out to find someone who is destined." ”

"Looking for someone who is destined? What do you mean? Lei Baoquan seemed to know what he meant, but he wasn't sure.

"Since you can meet me, it is also fate, I have been dead for more than 20 years, and my family doesn't know where I have moved, and I haven't come to see me for a long time. So, I'd like to ask you to help me remove that tree. The old man said.

"Uncle, isn't this very good? **, what if this kind of thing is taboo? Li Bai said in the back.

The old man said with a gloomy face: "Aren't you familiar? Didn't you still step on my yin fire? ”

Li Bai smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle... That... It wasn't intentional, I thought it was a grandson who set the fire, and he had to step on it for fear of burning your grave. ”

The old man snorted and said, "I lit the fire myself." ”

"Huh?" Li Bai was stunned and said, "You... Why did you light the fire yourself? ”

"Or will you be able to find me?" The old man said.

"Oh... I see. Jin Guo said, then he thought for a while, and then said, "Uncle, if we help you get rid of the tree, repair your grave, and burn more paper money for you, can you help us find that woman?" ”

Lei Baoquan and Li Bai glanced at Jin Guo, and secretly sighed in their hearts that Jin Guo's mind was calm enough, and he could still think of bargaining at this time.

The old man glanced at the three of them, sighed and said, "If I don't agree, you won't help me, right?" ”

"It's not like that, we have always been people who are brave and brave and learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds, even if you don't help us, we will help you the same. However, you must not be happy to go to it. Li Bai said deliberately.

The old man smiled slightly: "Okay, then let's say okay, you help me, I'll help you, but I want to remind you first, that girl is not easy to mess with, I'm afraid that you have a life to find, but you don't have a life to see." ”

The three of them looked at each other, and Lei Baoquan pretended to be calm and said, "Uncle, don't worry, we will handle the rest!" ”

At this time, Cao Feng, who was driving in front, shouted, "I'll be in town soon." He shouted this to remind Lei Baoquan that they would go to the police station immediately, and if they wanted to arrest this old man, they should prepare in advance.

Lei Baoquan and the three of them heard Cao Feng shouting, turned their heads to look out the window, and could see the houses with lights on scattered and scattered, and immediately entered the town. But when the three of them turned around again, they were suddenly startled, and the old man in front of them disappeared at some point. The place where he had been sitting just now was empty.

Several people were speechless, Cao Feng saw that there was no movement behind him, glanced in the rearview mirror, and found that there were only three people in the car, and stopped the car with a "squeak". He stood up and looked behind him, and there was indeed no old man.

"It's... What about people? Cao Feng walked over and asked.

"It's gone." Lei Baoquan shrugged and said.

"Say no, it's gone?" Cao Feng shouted.

"Or else? Say hello to you? ”

"Uh... Still don't use it. After Cao Feng finished speaking, he returned to his seat and drove the car.

The car drove into Shugang Town, and when they arrived at the hotel, Lei Baoquan and the three got out of the car. Cao Feng also poked his head out and shouted, "What is the arrangement for tomorrow?" ”

Lei Baoquan laughed when he heard this, and said, "I said, are you addicted to finding ghosts with us?" What's the arrangement, drive your car well. After saying that, he entered the hotel with a smile.

Cao Feng thought that Lei Baoquan would ask him to continue to help tomorrow, but he didn't expect to be "abandoned", so he closed the car door stupidly and drove away with a mutter.

"Coming back?" As soon as I entered the hotel gate, the proprietress sitting at the front desk said.

"Well, hostess, do you have a supper here? I was feeling a little hungry just now. Li Bai said.

The proprietress glanced at him and said, "There is a kitchen on the first floor, you can go and see what you can do yourself, we don't serve food here." ”

Li Bai listened to the cold tone of the proprietress, and complained in his heart, but it was a reality that he was hungry, so he could only walk to the kitchen in a low voice, and said as he walked: "Uncle Lei, Brother Guo, do you want to eat?" ”

"Not hungry." The two of them finished laughing and went upstairs first.

Li Bai turned a corner, looked at the dark corridor on the first floor, turned around and asked, "Isn't there a light?" ”

The proprietress glanced at him: "Save electricity." ”

Li Bai grimaced at her, touched the darkness and walked inside, and by the light of the hall, Li Bai vaguely saw a door in the middle of the corridor with "kitchen" written on it.

Opening the door, Li Bai fumbled for the switch on the wall, wanting to turn on the light. Trying back and forth along the smooth wall, suddenly, Li Bai touched a bulging thing, he was a little puzzled, and when he touched it carefully, it was a human hand, Li Bai screamed, turned around and ran back.

When the proprietress heard the shout, she frowned, saw Li Bai running back in a panic, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"There's... Yes..."Li Bai said in shock.

"What's there?" The hostess asked impatiently.

"There's someone in there!"

"No way, the fat man hasn't come to the night shift yet, it's just you and five other people upstairs, I've been sitting here, and I haven't seen anyone go in." The hostess didn't believe it.

"It's true!"

"You see?"

"Not really... But I touched a hand! Li Bai said.

The proprietress gave him another look, turned around and pulled open the iron box of the main switch on the wall behind her, pulled down one of the switches, and the corridor brightened.

The proprietress went straight to the kitchen, Li Bai followed her timidly, and came to the kitchen door, Li Bai hesitated, the proprietress glanced at him, walked in, and felt the switch on the wall to turn on the light.

The kitchen is not big, only some kitchen utensils, usually only occasionally cook a meal, rarely used.

"Who?" The proprietress asked, pointing to the kitchen at the end of the day.

Li Bai looked left and right: "Impossible, I obviously touched it just now... Did you run to another room? Li Bai retreated to the corridor to inspect everywhere.

"I said, do you have a problem here?" The proprietress asked, pointing to her head.

When Li Bai heard this, he said incredulously: "Who? You say me? Something wrong with my head? It's really..."Li Bai grabbed the hair on the back of his head and was angry, "Let me tell you, no one is more normal than me!" There is obviously a problem with your store, and you say that it is my fault. You know what's going on in that upstairs room, and you say I have a problem with my head..."

Li Bai turned around and went upstairs as he spoke, shouting as he walked: "Say I have a problem with my head? Is this what the boss said? Wait for me to get back and give you a bad review......"

In front of the kitchen door, the proprietress stood there quietly, looking left and right, and suddenly there was a trace of worry in her eyes.
