Chapter 25: The Old Janitor
"Burning brick kiln to watch the gate?" I frowned, "Which brick-burning kiln?" ”
"I don't know the specifics." The boss said, "I've heard it too." ”
I thought about it and asked, "Sun Kui's father won't be able to speak after he comes back, what about after that?" ”
"After a few days, the old man was lost, no matter how I found it, it was so cold during this time, it is estimated that the old man must have died outside, I heard that Sun Kui is going to hold a funeral for his father the day after tomorrow. Early this morning, I was clearing the snow outside, and he drove past my door in a car, and the car was full of people, probably pulling a coffin. The boss spread his hands, "I can't find the old man's body, so I can only get a few clothes and put them in for burial..."
When I came out of the small restaurant, I saw that the sky was even more cloudy.
"Ah Leng, could it be that the one who drinks with that uncle is the one who watches the gate of Wu Lao Brick Kiln Factory?" Morningstar asked.
"No," I muttered, "how could such a coincidence occur?" ”
"Ah Leng..."
"Huh?"
"Usually, those people who go to Fengyang Town to look at you to see feng shui, are they all inquiring about the past?" Morningstar asked.
"Hmm." I nodded, "What's wrong?" Why do you ask this? ”
"I'm thinking," said Morningstar, "that uncle ran to Fengyang Town, and you fainted in the snow, maybe it's not accidental..."
Hearing Morning Star say this, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I slapped it on the thigh, "You mean, he may have deliberately run to Fengyang Town, just to find us and let us help him?" ”
Chenxing smiled slightly, "It is worthy of being a cold master, and it is thorough at one point." Then, Zhengse said, "Although the uncle is unconscious, since he subconsciously knows his home, then if he knows that there are masters in Fengyang Town who can help him, it is not impossible to run over to find it under the leadership of his subconscious." ”
"Makes sense." I pondered, "The person who drank with him may be the one who watched the door of Boss Wu's brick kiln factory..."
Speaking of this, my heart suddenly moved... During this period of time, we only thought about looking for the person who borrowed the life of Accountant Wang, but we all ignored an important problem, that is, the old janitor of the brick kiln factory had been living in the factory with Accountant Wang... At the beginning, Boss Wu told us that in order to investigate the cause of Accountant Wang's death, the police had questioned the old janitor, and finally ruled out his suspicion. As for why the old man didn't live in the factory that night and went back to his home, the old man said that Accountant Wang took him away. Accountant Wang wanted to 'take refuge' in the kiln factory that night, so he naturally had to take the old janitor away, which shows that the old janitor was an outsider to Accountant Wang, and he didn't know anything about what Accountant Wang was doing. Therefore, it is impossible to get clues about the death of Accountant Wang from the old man. However, we forget that the old man has been living with Accountant Wang, and that something began to go wrong many days before Accountant Wang died, although he would not tell the old man about himself, but the old man may have seen something...
"I think the old janitor may know something about Accountant Wang's death." Morning Star had the same idea as me, but her next sentence pushed it one level deeper, "Perhaps, the old man at the gatekeeper has seen the person who borrowed the king's accountant Yangshou." For example, when that man went to the brick kiln factory one night to find Accountant Wang..."
"It's possible!"
"If you look at it this way, it is very likely that when the mute uncle went to drink with the old janitor, the old man confided in him some of the inside information." Morningstar said.
I rubbed my brow with my hand and muttered, "You mean to say that the reason why the uncle became dumb and delirious was because someone harmed him?" ”
"That's right." Morning Star said, "The person who harmed him should be the same person who harmed Accountant Wang in the first place..."
"Whether that's the case or not, in short, that dumb uncle is neither evil nor evil, otherwise, the master will see it at a glance..."
Chenxing thought for a while, "Ah Leng, you can call Boss Wu." ”
"Yes, yes."
I took out my phone and dialed Boss Wu's number.
"Hello? Master Leng, I told everyone in my factory, let them keep an eye on everyone who goes to my factory..."
"I'm not asking you this." I interrupted him.
"What's that?"
"Is the old janitor in your factory there now?"
"The old janitor? … I've resigned a long time ago! ”
"Resigned?" I frowned.
"That's right."
"When?"
"On the day my factory resumed, he used to say that he was quitting, and then he settled his salary and took all his things."
"Is that what I chose for you, on the auspicious day of the zodiac?"
"Right? Why do you ask the old man? ”
"It's nothing," I muttered, and suddenly my heart moved, "Angkor, I ask you..."
"Huh?"
"I helped you exorcise evil spirits in the factory, who in your factory knows?"
"Those employees all know, I kept it a secret, I don't know who the leaked out, saying that my factory was haunted, and Accountant Wang was scared to death by ghosts. I can only tell those employees that the ghosts have been driven away by the high-ranking people I invited from Fengyang Town, so that they can go to work with peace of mind. ”
"So, the old janitor knows?"
"Of course, he just said that he was afraid of ghosts, so he didn't do it. I told him that the ghost was driven away by you, so that he would go to Fengyang Town to ask you if he didn't believe it..."
I said in my heart, the reason why the dumb uncle knew that there was a 'master' in Fengyang Town must be that the old man who was the gatekeeper sued him. In this way, the previous conjecture of me and Morningstar was more confirmed.
"Master Leng, if you don't have anything else, I'll hang up."
"Wait."
"Huh?"
"Tell me the address of the old janitor."
Boss Wu thought about it, told me the name of the village, and told me the name of the old man.
After hanging up, we went back to the small restaurant.
"Oops, why are you two back?" The boss smiled, "Why don't you go to my house to drink tea and watch TV for a while, and then I'll cook dinner for you..."
"No need." I smiled, "I'll ask you about a village..."
"This village is a twenty miles away from us..."
The owner told me the location, and when I came out of the small restaurant again, I looked at the sky and then looked at the time.
"Is it cold?" I put my phone in my pocket and looked at Morning Star.
Morningstar smiled and shook his head.
I grabbed her hand and rubbed it and sighed.
"A-Leng, you're so nice," Morningstar whispered.
"It's you who are so nice." I smiled, "God arranged such a good girl for me, and she must be carefully cared for." ”
"Okay, don't be poor, I feel like you're dying, I can't wait to see the old man who guards the door, I'm not cold, I'm not afraid of running around, let's go, let's get in the car..."
"Hehe, whoever knows me..."
I took the morning star and quickly left the village, all the way south, the snow was so thick that the car kept getting stuck in the snow and skidding. After walking for nearly an hour, I finally came to the intersection that the hotel owner said. After turning north from the junction and driving for nearly an hour, we came to the village.
The village is small and remote, with dozens of families. Standing at the entrance of the village, there are few new houses, most of them are the kind of old houses built in the sixties and seventies, half brick and half earth.
A few children were having a snowball fight at the entrance of the village, but they stopped and looked at us curiously.
"Kid, come here."
I waved my hand, and a dirty child walked over.
"Look at this runny nose..."Morning Star smiled, took out a tissue, and squatted down, "Come, Auntie will help you wipe it..."
The rest of the kids stood in the distance, 'hehe' giggling.
"Do you know where this man lives?" I touched the child's head and gave him the name of the old janitor.
The child picks at his fingers and only shakes his head stupidly.
"You know what?" When asked to the other children, they would just shake their heads.
I pointed to Morning Star, "Is this aunt pretty?" ”
"Beautiful! The children said.
Morning Star 'fluttered' and pushed me, "You guy, you are so fierce, do people dare to say that they are not beautiful?" ”
I smiled, "What does this have to do with the fierce baba, our Aunt Xing is already beautiful, right?" … Let's go, little friend, take us to meet your adults..."
The village road is very narrow, and cars can't get in at all, so they can only walk. We followed the child to a house, pushed the door in, and saw a middle-aged man feeding the pigs.
"You are..."
"Big brother, I would like to ask you about someone..."
I pulled out a cigarette and handed it to him, and the man got up in a hurry, rubbed his hands on his clothes, and took them with both hands, and put them on his ears.
"You ask Sun Xue'an? (The old janitor's name)"
"Yes." I nodded.
The man was puzzled, "Is this old man Xue'an burning incense or what, there have been big people looking for him recently..."
I looked at Morning Star with a smile and said in my heart, this person thinks of me as a big man... Then, my heart moved.
"You mean, someone has also looked for Old Man Xue'an before?" I asked.
"Well, that day I was at the entrance of the village, I met a man who drove a black car, and he also handed me a cigarette, saying that he was looking for the old man Xue'an."
"What does that guy look like, and how old is that?"
"It's much more than you look, although it's not as handsome as you, but it's not bad, and you have a comb on your back, and you're quite stylish..."
I pondered for a moment and said, "Big brother, go, take me to Sun Xue'an's house to have a look." ”
"Okay, will I wait until I've fed the pigs properly? …”
On the way, this man told us that Sun Xue'an was a lonely old man, with no children and no daughters, and had been showing others the gate in the city earlier. Later, it is said that I went to a brick kiln factory and also watched the gate, but some time ago I suddenly came back for some reason.
We followed the man, turning east and west, and came to a dilapidated old house. The ruined courtyard wall is covered with snow. When I opened the gate and came to the courtyard, I saw that the courtyard was also full of snow.
"Uncle Xue'an, are you at home?" The man shouted.
No one answered. Morning Star took me by the arm, 'creaked' and stepped on the snow, and came to the door of the hall, the man stretched out his hand and pushed, and the door 'creaked' open, and at first glance, I saw the tea jar that I saw when I was lying outside the window of the guard room in the brick kiln factory...
