In Qi Town, there is a popular custom called "fishing for gold balls", also called "golden dragon out of the water". Legend has it that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, an immortal passed by the town of Qi. Looking at the feng shui popularity here, it is believed that Qi Town has the fate of immortals, and the outstanding people here will inevitably produce immortals again, so they left a token, which is a golden bead. This gold bead is a thing left by the immortals, and it is said that it contains the mysteries of heaven and earth, and it is a secret book for immortals. Of course, these are legends, and no one can say what is going on.

What the immortals left behind, that's not easy to take. This gold bead falls to the bottom of the lake and is said to be guarded by a demon snake. Only at the beginning of July every year, when the demon snake cultivates and swallows the essence, will this golden ball spit out from the bottom of the water.

During the whole ceremony, the stilt bearers with outstanding skills will be arranged to get the golden ball from the lake, and then put it in the immortal plaque for collection, no one understands the meaning of this ritual, anyway, it has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the ancestors did it, passed down from generation to generation. The picture is joyful, the picture is auspicious.

It is impossible to say that such a treasure is not coveted by anyone. Over the years, there have been quite a few people who have hit the idea of it. The terrible thing is that all those who use their brains crookedly, without exception, will all die, and if something happens to them, Jin Zhu will also disappear in the tossing and turning. Oddly enough. It was the first day of the seventh month of the following year. It will come out of the water again. Some people say that it was the demon snake that guarded the spirit, and some people say that the immortals deliberately left this thing to test people's hearts. Anyway, there is no way to say it.

One of the most widely circulated sayings is that immortals, this kind of high-grade goods cannot be cultivated by anyone. Without the fate and qualifications of becoming an immortal, you don't even think about it, that golden ball is actually a detector left by the immortals. It's looking for people who really have the potential to be immortals. If this person takes the golden ball, not only will he not die, but he can promote immortalization.

After introducing the ceremony of fishing for gold balls, Copper Lock began to talk about the murder of the Qi family.

The author of the pamphlet does not know much about this murder, and many of the details are hearsay.

There is a Qi family master in Qi Town, who was born in salt business, and it is said that his ancestors also served as a big official in the court, which is also a famous family, a wealthy family, and his head trembled when he stomped his feet in the local area. Master Qi, don't look at people in their seventies and eighties, but he doesn't know what secret medicine to take, his body is as strong as a young man, and he married Mrs. Bafang in one go, and his favorite is the sixth aunt who was born in singing.

About the people on the kang, it is likely that the author who wrote the pamphlet is in yy. Anyway, when he wrote that, let's take a look at it this way.

The sixth aunt is too good at doing things, and she is also good at playing the lyrics, and she can pick up and sing two sentences of music from all over the world, and she is full of charm, which is the most pleasing to the master. Just such a woman, one morning, found tragically dead in the inner house. He was stabbed in the back, and when he found out, the blood was drained.

There was such a murder case in Mr. Qi's house, and the elites of the local police station were all dispatched. But when I arrived at the scene, I found that this case was not an ordinary strangeness.

First of all, the deceased died in the inner house, Master Qi's house was built with high walls and tiles, and it was almost time to catch up with the city gate building, and no one from outside the snitch had such a great ability, so he climbed over the wall and crossed the ridge and quietly stole in to kill people, and then escaped silently.

Hearing Copper Lock say this, I suddenly remembered one thing: "Copper Lock, do you mean that there is only one body of the sixth aunt at the scene?" ”

Copper lock nodded: "I have flipped through this booklet many times, and it is certain that only the sixth aunt herself was at the scene of the crime." ”

"The case you're talking about is the scene you saw in your dreams, right?" I asked.

The brass lock said, "Yes! Master Qi's house, the sixth aunt who died, was stabbed in the back...... All the details coincide. I know your doubt, I once saw two people dead in my dream, the sixth aunt and her concubine, the one who stepped on stilts. Actually, the man on stilts is not dead, you continue to listen. ”

Because within a few years of the founding of the Republic of China, the predecessors of these policemen were all experienced in the late Qing Dynasty, and they saw a lot of big and important cases. As soon as they put it together, they thought that the case was a love murder and did not run. In fact, it is easy to say, when the sixth aunt died, she was wearing a dirty belly pocket, and there was a coat she threw down at the scene. In addition, the knife stuck behind her was as deep as the bone, and the woman was not so strong. These clues are brought together, and the situation on the scene is about to come out.

can make such an inference, Master Qi quit again, this is his inner house, except that it is impossible for him to have a man live in it, his sons, nephews and male servants all have another house; Another sixth aunt died of cheating, this is good to say, it is nothing to die, if it is rumored that Master Qi is cuckold, this will be a big problem.

The police are not only good at handling cases, but also all of them are human spirits, and it is up to him to decide how Master Qi wants to decide the case, and how to investigate in private. The biggest difficulty in this case is: When a person dies, there must be a murderer, how did this male murderer escape? No clues were left at the scene.

If you look further, it's a bit interesting, a person's inexplicable disappearance must be the reason, there must be accomplices in the house, maybe more than one. But if you want to dig like this, it's terrible, and all the dirty things in the courtyard of the deep house will be exposed.

This case has been investigated and investigated, but there is no explanation, and it is closed. The author of the pamphlet only regarded this incident as an anecdote in Qi Town, and wrote it hastily without delving into it. But at the end of the article, a clue is revealed. After the gold bead came out of the water, it was collected behind the immortal plaque, and Master Qi didn't know what to think, so he actually took the gold bead home to play with it, but disappeared inexplicably.

Someone once linked the theft of gold beads to the murder of the inner house, but there was no result.

It's about Master Qi's face, the investigation of the case is shackled everywhere, not allowed to be investigated, the details are missing, and the process is so mysterious, even if Sherlock Holmes comes, he will stare at it without a move.

After listening to Copper Lock's story, I had already drunk two cups of hot tea, and I said, "This old puzzle piece that happened a hundred years ago can now barely be put together." ”

"Tell me." Copper lock road.

I took the paper and pen, thought for a moment, and said, "The matter started when the gold beads came out of the water, and the man on stilts fished out the gold beads from the water and put them behind the immortal plaque. Master Qi is a local noble family, and he should have this power, and he can take the gold beads at will. He took the beads home and played with them. As a result, it was stolen by the sixth aunt and given to the good one, it was the man on stilts. Who knew that the stilt man and the third miss of the Qi family still had one leg, and he must have promised the third miss to give her the beads. The assassination of the sixth aunt was calculated by them, and they eloped after getting the beads. As a result, the third lady Huang Que was behind, and after getting the gold beads, she killed the stilt man. There are two clues here, one is the man on stilts, he was obviously not poisoned, not only did he not die, he is still alive, and his skills are very strong, even He Tianzhen has to vomit blood in front of him. This man on stilts has a lot to do with you, and has appeared in your life several times, even when you were born. ”

As I spoke, I scribbled on the paper and drew the timeline.

"What about the other clue?" Copper Lock asked.

"It's the third lady of the Qi family, about her experience, we can only use fragments of information to make it up piece by piece. After she got the gold beads, she went to the school in the provincial capital to study and became a female student. At that time, the Japanese came, and somehow learned the secret of Jinzhu, and searched everywhere. Once on the boat, the third lady of the Qi family almost showed her face, and she slandered a rural father and son, and they were shot dead. I said.

"You're right," said the Copper Lock, "just as I thought. But it's a little strange that you didn't find any clues about these two people. ”

"How?" I asked.

The copper lock said: "If you think about the details of the man on stilts, he has not died until now, and his skills have increased greatly, and when He Tianzhen saw him in my previous life, he was meditating cross-legged and practicing. How do you think he could be? ”

"What do you mean," I suddenly realized: "Damn, he's cultivating immortals?!" ”

The copper lock said: "It's strange here, the golden ball that can cross people into immortals can be in the hands of the third lady of the Qi family." We don't know what happened to her, but the strange thing is that the man on stilts who didn't get the golden ball became an immortal instead. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the man on stilts has another chance, and he can't mix these two things together." ”

As he was talking, the phone rang, and the copper lock looked at it, but didn't answer.

I casually asked, "Who's?"

The copper lock said, "Sun Jie." ”

"Huh?!" I was taken aback: "Damn, why did she show up?" Hurry up and find her. ”

"There's no hurry." Tongsuo said: "When I was in Jiangnan, Sun Jie called me once, and her voice on the phone was very anxious, she must have encountered something difficult. Hmph, it disappeared when it was fine, and now something comes to mind. ”

I looked at the copper lock, and suddenly felt that he was a little strange, and I said, "Don't hang her, once she disappears again." Let's leave Miss Qi and the man on stilts alone, quickly find Sun Jie and solve your problems. ”

The copper lock didn't speak, half lying on the chair, drinking tea: "I have let go of the burden in my heart." Ever since I knew I had a terminal illness, I couldn't stop worrying. In those days in Jiangnan, I suddenly figured out, who hasn't died yet? Even if I don't end up being saved, I have nothing to regret in this life. I'm hanging up now, it's better than being seventy or eighty years old and lying in bed with no one to take care of me. This mentality makes me deal with things more calmly, I'm not afraid of death, and I'm afraid that Sun Jie will have an appetite?! "Death in the Conspiracy.

At this time, the phone rang again, and the copper lock was about to be turned off, and when he saw the number, he was suddenly stunned: "It's a strange number, Sun Jie is smart, and she actually learned to change her mobile phone to make calls." ”

"Let's take it." I advised him.

The copper lock was turned on, and I faintly heard a man's voice coming from inside, a little old. The copper lock listened to a few words, his expression was grim, and after a few words, he hung up the phone.

I asked who called.

The copper lock said: "It's an old man, he sued me Sun Jie in his hands, and he asked Sun Jie to do one thing." And Sun Jie said that she can only do it if I am present, you say it's ridiculous. ”

"It's ridiculous." I was a little shocked: "How could Sun Jie be kidnapped?" ”

"It's not a kidnapping, the old man said that he invited Sun Jie to be a guest, which is good for everyone."

"Then let's call the police."

"What to call the police, the police won't care, do you know who this old man is?" Copper Lock asked.

"Who?" I look at him.

"He said he was Pan Dayong." Copper Lock said.

"Pan Dayong? Which Pan Dayong? ”

"Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pan's Group in this city."

I was stunned, Pan's Group is a private group that can be squeezed into the top ten in the city, and it is said that they are about to be listed, and their assets will be billions. This Pan Dayong is even more legendary, and his story even our three-year-old children in the city know it. He was a middle-school teacher in his forties, single, quit his job in the early eighties and went to the south to go to the sea. People who knew him at that time said that this person was crazy, and he didn't want to go into business, and his brain let the door clamp. As a result, ten years later, he came back from the south, not only brought back his wife and lovely children, but also brought back a huge amount of money, settled in the local area, and established the Pan Group.

His story is unknown, and he is a very mysterious legend.
