Chapter Twenty-Four: The Disappearing Locksmith King

Pushing open the heavy door of the old mansion of the alien house, the two of us went straight to the master's room, I asked the fat man to stand outside the door to control the wind, and then confirmed the picture scroll of the "Moon Spring Map" again, and then opened the master's secret room, put the master's package and picture scroll into the secret room, and then immediately turned around and walked out.

I sat down in a chair and shouted "Fat man come in", and when he entered the door, I said to him: "The little brother who smokes has obviously not come back yet, and it should be very tricky to come to his side, and it seems that I will have to wait for him in the capital for a while." Something happened to Fifth Master Cha's side, we are close comrades-in-arms in the same trench, we can't stand aside and stand by, we have to go to him and see if there is anything we can do to help. ”

The fat man was in a hurry, and said that the wind was the rain, and immediately stood up and said to me, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry over and have a look!" ”

I grabbed his arm and stopped him, saying, "Don't worry, I still have something on my mind that I want to discuss with you." ”

The fat man saw that my expression was rare and strict, so he sat quietly in a chair and looked at me.

I glanced outside, saw that it was very quiet, and then said to him, "Do you remember the series of events that happened before?" The golden statue is lost, the roast duck is poisonous, and some people are trying to trick us into fighting. ”

After hearing this, the fat man nodded and said, "Fortunately, we both have a big life, otherwise we wouldn't be able to sit here and chat now." But what are you talking about this obscure old thing? ”

I glanced at the fat man who was confused, and then continued: "In fact, after the incident, I immediately realized that three things were done by different people, and the person who stole the gold statue was Secretary Chen. Later, he tricked us into fighting, and then wanted to kill people after we touched the Ming Weapon. I think he may be behind the scenes, Mrs. He, although Mrs. He has hanged herself, but I am a little worried that they have other accomplices, but it is not a problem for a while. And the people who poisoned the roast duck have a very clear purpose, that is, they want to kill us. I am convinced that you and I have never offended such a ruthless character, so the poisoning incident is most likely a revenge against Master. There is another possibility that I don't want to believe, that is," he stopped talking with some hesitation. Thinking about the accuracy of what you are going to say next. After all, what I'm going to say next is a bit of a marginal thing, and it can even be said to be a random guess, whether to say it to the fat man, I still have some hesitation and can't speak.

The fat man saw me and talked about it. said very unhappily: "Lao Zheng." You don't want mother-in-law, if you have something to say, hurry up, and let it go quickly, don't let people wait and do it in a hurry. ”

I laughed when I heard the fat man's urging words, and thought to myself: no matter how credible my next words are, the fat man will have his own unique judgment, and I don't need to worry too much about his reaction. Because the fat man is not really stupid, but the way of thinking is different from others. Maybe he'll be able to solve my doubts.

So I said to him with confidence: "I think it seems that someone wants to attack the inverted craftsmen in the entire capital." And he chose to take the other place first. ”

After hearing this, the fat man gasped, he stared at me with a pair of bull's eyes in disbelief, and said to me with some hesitation: "Lao Zheng, you are quite bold speculation. Do you think that the incident of the fifth master is the beginning of another elimination of the inverted craftsmen in the capital. ”

I looked at the fat man and nodded in agreement, the expression on his face became more complicated, and I went on to explain to him: "The forces of all parties in the capital will definitely not dare to move the alien residence, let alone provoke the fifth master, so it must be the forces outside the capital." And the forces that are too small don't dare to act without permission, so I speculate that there must be some big force that wants to uproot the inverted craftsmen in the capital. ”

The fat man rolled his eyes and said to me: "Lao Zheng, do you think it could be a "big hat", didn't they want to clean us up a long time ago. (Big cap: refers to the police.) οΌ‰

I shook my head and said to him, "The big hats will do everything on the surface, as long as they get some evidence, they will definitely be able to wipe us out, and they don't bother to use despicable means in secret." ”

The fat man heard my very firm tone and asked me, "Lao Zheng, have you guessed who it is?" ”

I didn't look at him, I looked out the window, and said faintly, "I haven't guessed who it is, but I think they should start moving, maybe they have their eyeliner planted around us by this time." ”

When the fat man heard this, his eyes immediately became deep, and I stared into his eyes and said to him, "In this world, the people I trust 100% are you and the other is the master. Even the cigarette man who saved my life twice, I sometimes have doubts in my heart, and you have to be careful to watch out for others. ”

The fat man was stunned when he heard my words, I am usually always smiling and approachable, but at this time there was a gloomy look on my face, and he said to me who was a little strange: "Lao Zheng, what's the matter with you?" Is it that the mental pressure has been too much recently, and the suspicion when I was a child has been committed again? ”

The suspicion that the fat man said had a precedent when I was young. Because I picked up the wild baby on the grave, the people in the village always pointed and talked behind my back, which caused my young heart to be wounded, and I always felt suspicious that when others whispered, they were talking about me, causing me to become like a crazy ghost, and I went crazy and caused trouble, and it was the fat man's father who followed my ass and made compensation for me everywhere. This also caused me to be confined to the house for a long time, and the fat man played with me at home every day, and he is now worried that my suspicions have returned.

I smiled and said to the fat man, "I'm not a child anymore, and I'm not guilty of any suspicious things." It's just that after experiencing some sinister things, I began to fear in my heart, I began to fear loss, I was afraid of losing my happy life now, I was afraid of losing my important relatives and friends, fear made me doubt, which was also inevitable, and I didn't think it was a bad thing, it was a symbol of mental growth. ”

Fat people usually laugh at me at this time, "Sentimental, like a girl." "But when he heard me mention that he was afraid of losing, he might even think of Yue'er, and his face became very lonely. said in a particularly sad tone: "Are you suspicious of Huifang because of this, I know that although you don't say it, you have always been suspicious of her in your heart." How can you hide your mind from me? However, I really think that Sister Huifang is a good person, even if she didn't tell us her real name or show her true face, but she definitely didn't hurt the two of us. Otherwise, she cooks for the two of us every day, and she can poison the food at any time, and she can easily kill the two of us. But look at the present. We're not bouncing around on all fours, so don't suspect her of trouble with her anymore. I'm afraid that too much worry will overwhelm you, and instead it will become unbearable pressure that overwhelms you. ”

Hear the fat man's words worried about me. I turned my head to look out the bright window again, and said lightly, "I hope this time you didn't look at the wrong person, but I was wrong." After saying that, I stood up and said to the fat man, "These are just our guesses. No matter how things develop. We are comrades-in-arms with Fifth Master Cha, and now we have to find out about his situation. ”

The fat man stood up with a smile and couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Just let the storm come more violently!" ”

I looked approvingly at him and said, "Okay! Comrade Qian Guangrong has the generosity and righteousness of the revolutionary martyrs, and admires and admires him. ”

The fat man's brain reacted very quickly this time, and he slapped me on the shoulder three times, so shocked that I almost didn't vomit blood, and he smiled and said, "I have the demeanor." Generosity and righteousness will be left to you to take full responsibility. After saying that, he smiled and pushed the door open. Strode out.

I looked at the back of the fat man, and my mood suddenly became open-minded, no matter what kind of incident will happen in the future, there are credible people around me to rely on, and I firmly believe that any danger can be overcome.

On the way to the Wuye Tea House, I want to go to one place first, that is, the shop of the "Locksmith King" that I visited before, and I want to ask him again to see if he is willing to help us open the secret color porcelain box. As a result, when he went to his hardware store, he found that the door of the shop was closed, and the windows were covered with wooden gates, as if it was not open. The locksmith king's shop pΓΉ is a two-bedroom inner and outer bedroom, the outside store is used as a shop, and the back is the living room where he has lived for a long time, so he will not rest until midnight.

I looked curiously at the closed door of the shop, where there were a lot of yellow fallen leaves and scraps of paper, which were very dirty, and the windowsill was covered with heavy dust, as if it had not been cleaned for many days. Looking through the gap in the wooden gate that blocked the window, the room was pitch black, and it didn't look like anyone was there, and no matter how you looked at it, it seemed as if the shop hadn't been open for a while. I can't help but think: Could it be that since the visit and departure that day, the locksmith king has not opened his doors again. Is the disappearance of the locksmith king related to the secret color porcelain box in his hand?

Just as I was staring into the dark room and thinking, the fat man next to me slapped me violently, startling me. I looked at the fat man in astonishment, but he said to me with a very dissatisfied attitude: "Lao Zheng, why didn't I find out that you still have the vice of voyeurism?" ”

I didn't explain much to the fat man, but asked the nearby shop, pΓΉ, if the locksmith's shop had been open for the last few days, and I was surprised to get the answer: the locksmith's shop, pΓΉ, had never opened since the day we left. When I asked, I felt a sense of disobedience around me, as if someone was watching us in the dark nearby, and when I scanned the surroundings, this unpleasant feeling of being stared at disappeared again, and the feeling of uneasiness in my heart suddenly diffused. So, I immediately pulled the fat man, quickly left the door of the locksmith Wang shop, and walked in the direction of the Wuye Tea House.

The fat man didn't understand why I looked nervous, and I didn't want to cause trouble to one more person by saying my questions, so he haha and said, "The rib pain is unbearable, let's hurry up and go to the fifth master's shop to rest." ”

The fat man undoubtedly had his help to support me and walked to the tea house of the fifth master in the capital. As a result, before he got close to the teahouse of the fifth master, he saw Huang Tianming and several clerks in Tang costumes guarding the door from a distance. I was surprised and said: Why didn't this Huang Tianming stay in the antique shop and come to the tea house to do something?

Huang Tianming's eyes were sharp, and he saw me and the fat man from a long distance, and immediately greeted the two of us, and said to the fat man with a smile: "Fat man, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my body is getting more and more bloated." ”

The fat man smiled heavily on Huang Tianming's shoulder and was afraid twice, the corners of Huang Tianming's mouth immediately collapsed, looking at Huang Tianming who was grinning with a headache covering his shoulder, I couldn't help but laugh secretly in my heart, and said in my heart: Why do you have nothing to do to provoke the fat man, he is the most annoying for others to say that he is fat, and you dare to say that he is bloated, I really think my life is too long.

I smiled and said to Huang Tianming, who had a bitter face: "Why don't you stay in the main store, why are you here?" (To be continued......)
