Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Night of Terror

"Drive... The method of exorcism, mage? The old man looked trembling.

"Uncle, you don't have to be afraid." I said, "I'm not here to embarrass you, but I want to ask you something." ”

"Oh oh..."

The old man's eyes were dodgy, looking at the ground, "I'm tired of walking, let me drink some water first, okay?" ”

I waved my hand, and the old man walked to the table of the eight immortals, picked up the tea jar, and drank it without being too cold.

"Uncle." Morning Star couldn't help but say, "It's so cold, it's easy to get sick when you drink ice water, there's hot water in this pot next to the stove, we came here last night, and we've been waiting until you now..."

The old man kept talking 'uh-huh', until he drank the rest of the water in the tank, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, let out a long breath, and looked much calmer than before.

"What are you going to ask me about?" The old man asked.

Morning Star and I glanced at each other, then looked at the old man, stared into his eyes, and said word by word, "Let's be straight, we want to know how Accountant Wang died." ”

"Accountant Wang?" The old man looked surprised, "I don't know, no, wasn't he scared to death by a ghost?" You drove that ghost away, are you the mage? …”

I said to myself, this old man is very cunning.

Morning Star smiled, "Of course he drove it away, uncle, since everyone knows that he was scared to death by a ghost, then I asked you just now, what was your first reaction to say that you didn't know?" ”

"This..."

"Say you don't know, it means you must know something, uncle, tell us what you know."

Morning Star looked at him, the old man seemed a little confused, looked away, and muttered, "I don't know anything anyway." ”

"Okay, then I'll ask you something you know, okay?" Morningstar said.

"What?"

"You didn't spend the night in the brick kiln that night, where did you go?"

"I'm coming home."

"You also brought back the key to the brick kiln factory, right?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said 'hmm'.

"Good." Chenxing smiled and said softly, "Since you brought the key here and didn't give it to anyone else, then, that night, the gate of the brick kiln factory was obviously locked when Accountant Wang died, who opened it?" ”

The old man's eyes widened and he looked at Morning Star, "Accountant Wang locks the door?" The police have said it, Accountant Wang..."

Morningstar interrupted him, "The police said that Accountant Wang didn't lock the door, right?" ”

The old man nodded.

"That's because the police didn't find out why Accountant Wang took you away and left you alone in the factory." Morning Star said, "That night was Accountant Wang's 'death period', and the reason why he took you away was to 'take refuge' in the brick kiln factory, and since it was 'refuge', he would definitely lock the door..."

The old man opened his mouth and said nothing, and Morning Star said gently, "Uncle, you must know some inside information about the death of Accountant Wang, sue us." ”

"I don't know, I don't know!" The old man's face suddenly changed, and he said angrily, "I don't work in the brick kiln factory anymore, he is dead, what does it matter to me?" I didn't kill you, you go, hurry up! …”

As he spoke, the old man raised his arm sharply, and with a snap, something fell out of his arms. It's a stack of money, a thick, brand new stack of money...

I immediately understood why the old man didn't say it.

The old man hurriedly bent down to pick up the money, but I leaned over, grabbed it in my hand, checked it, and smiled coldly, "Where did this money come from, you should know, right?" ”

"I..."

"If you show others the door, you won't be able to make this money in your lifetime. It's okay if you don't say it, Morning Star, let's go, let's go to the police, and just say that Uncle Sun Xue'an stole a huge amount of money from others. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the old man sat down on the ground with a 'plop' and cried. Morningstar and I hurriedly stepped forward, one left and one right, and helped him up.

"Uncle." Morning Star whispered, "Money is important, but conscience is even more important..."

The old man nodded, stopped crying, and wiped his eyes. I sat him in a chair, and Morning Star poured him some hot water.

After the old man drank the water, I said, "Uncle Sun, tell us, what did you see that night?" ”

The old man swallowed, "Young man, do you have a cigarette?" ”

I nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and lit it for him, the old man shivered and took a puff, looked at the misty smoke in front of him, and said faintly, "Actually, that night, I knew that Accountant Wang took refuge in the brick kiln factory..."

"You know?!"

Morningstar and I were stunned at the same time, something that none of us had ever expected.

The old man smiled bitterly, "Of course I know, the son of a worker in the brick kiln factory was full moon that day, and in the afternoon, the whole factory was on holiday, and those workers went to drink full moon wine." I had a bad stomach in the morning, so I didn't go. While I was sleeping in bed, Accountant Wang walked in and said that he had an urgent matter at night and asked me to go home for one night. Of course I wouldn't, so he paid for me. I'm also a tough person, and I've always felt weird about Accountant Wang during that time. I told him, "If you don't make it clear, I won't leave." At last he pressed me to the ground, and he knelt on the ground with a 'plop', saying that his time of death was coming, and a master told him that he had to hide in this brick kiln factory to avoid it... I was confused at the time, I said Xiao Wang, I'm a person, although I am not educated, but I also know what feudal superstition is, why do you a big intellectual still believe in these superstitious things?

"He didn't listen to me, and I had no choice but to agree. He gave me the fare to take a taxi home to the town north of the brick kiln. I'm a frugal person, and when I go to that town, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. I said in my heart, if you have the money to take a taxi home, why don't you drink some wine, and just find a place to squint at night. I found a small restaurant, ordered two dishes, and drank and drunk. When I came out of the restaurant, it was getting late, so I found a stack of wheat straw, picked up a nest and got inside.

"It was also cold that night, and I didn't have much time to freeze. The heart said, I don't sleep on the hot kang head of the brick kiln factory, why should I sleep in this hellish place? Accounting Wang is superstitious, could it be that I am also superstitious with him? With that in mind, I got out of the straw stack and went out of the town to the brick kiln factory. That night, when the wind was blowing, I walked to the door of the brickyard and saw that it was locked from the outside. I wondered, my heart said why did this person spend me, and he didn't live here, what if he came to steal the parts of the machine?

"Thinking so, I listened to the sound of 'Goo Deng Goo Deng' in the factory. I found a few half-bricks to step on, climbed up to the wall and looked in, and saw a man digging under the chimney in the far distance, like a ghost, so scared that I almost didn't pee into the crotch of my pants. The man had been digging up about a bag of cigarettes, and there was no movement. I didn't dare to move on the wall, trying to see what he was doing. Just looking at it, I heard a strange 'whoop', and it was Accountant Wang. Then, a man 'swished' from the chimney to the factory gate. When I got closer, I saw that the man seemed to be Accountant Wang. Behind him, there was a black thing, like a ghost.

"I'm scared, I screamed, and I fell off the wall, and I'm just a hard old man, and if I want someone else to fall, I will definitely fall apart. As soon as I got up, I heard another strange scream from Accountant Wang in the factory yard, and something must have happened when I heard that sound. I didn't care about being scared anymore, and I said in my heart that it was important to save people quickly. I shouted to give myself courage as I opened the door. When I opened the door and rushed in, I saw that the accountant Wang was lying not far from the guard's room, and he was shivering there. When I turned on the flashlight, Accountant Wang's face was pale, his mouth was open, and his tongue was stretched out, which could scare people to death. I asked, Xiao Wang, what's going on. When I had finished asking, I felt as if he was talking, and I leaned over to listen, and I heard him say, 'They are harming me...', and I asked, 'Who are they?' ’。 Accountant Wang can only 'ho ho ho' and can't speak at all. He scratched his hands on the ground, and suddenly three fingers stretched out. I wondered what do three fingers mean? Thinking about it, I suddenly thought that in the middle of the night three days ago, Accountant Wang took two people from outside to the brick kiln factory.

"I was thinking that now Accountant Wang was silent, and when I touched it with my hand, he was already out of breath. At this time, I heard the sound of a car outside, and quickly found a place to hide. As soon as he hid it, he saw a short and chubby man staggering in. The man walked and walked, slipped with a 'flutter', and just happened to be lying on the top of Accountant Wang, almost scaring me to death. The man 'hummed' twice and got up, as if it was fine, his pants were pulled and he urinated, listening to that sound, he should have urinated on Accountant Wang. When he finished urinating, the man turned around and left, and that's when he did..."

When the old man said this, he trembled violently, his eyes were hooked, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I saw that the accountant Wang stood up, followed the man and walked outside..."

Although I had expected it, my heart tightened, and Morning Star grabbed my arm.

"My eyes were straight at that time, and my heart said, isn't this accountant Wang dead? I looked on the ground, and Accountant Wang was still lying on the ground, so who was the one who went out just now? When I thought about it, my brain twitched, and I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I ran out and forgot to lock the door..."

What this old man said, except that he knew that Accountant Wang had 'taken refuge' in the brick kiln factory that night, the rest was not much different from what Morning Star analyzed last night.

"Back." Morning Star said, "The police came to you for questioning, and you were afraid of being involved, so you didn't dare to tell them what you saw that night, right?" ”

"How do you know?"

Morningstar smiled slightly.

"The person who gave you the money was one of the two people that Accountant Wang brought to the brick kiln factory that night?" I asked.

"No, I don't even recognize it."

"The reason why I gave you the money is that the purpose of that person is to keep it a strict secret, and you can't tell the story of that night, right?" Morningstar asked.

The old man nodded stunned, and then plucked his head and said, "Since I resigned from the brick factory and came back, I have never told anyone about that night, I don't know how this person came here." ”

"No, you did." Morning Star said, "It's just that you drank too much, you don't remember, you told an old man, an old man with the same surname as you, Sun, that person, is Sun Kui's father." ”
