Chapter 33: The Secret of the Stars

The space where the two of us are located at the moment looks like a basement, with an area of more than ten square meters. The concrete walls were covered with newspapers, which were old and yellowed. There are several round holes in the roof of the room, which are supposed to be ventilation holes leading to the ground, and it is because of their presence that the air in it is not stuffy. The basement is against the wall is a small wardrobe, next to the wardrobe is a wire bed, the bedding on the bed looks quite new...

Since the desktop wallpaper of this notebook is a photo of Wanjin Mountain, then, the notebook should be his. Judging by the bed and bedding, it has been occupied by someone in recent times. That's why I said that after Wan Jinshan ran away from the old village, he hid here. Yu Xin nodded, agreeing with my words...

The more I looked at it, the more strange I became, the basement looked like it had been built for some years, and the entrance and exit were actually connected to the sewer. If it was built by Wanjin Mountain, I really don't understand what he thinks, and I don't know how he built it...

As the saying goes, there are three holes for cunning rabbits, and the old fox in Wanjin Mountain is much more cunning than a rabbit. You don't have to think about it to know that he must have more than one residence in other places besides the one in the old village. It's just that what I never expected was that there was a place under this ground, leading to the sewer... We tracked down the 'person' who ran to Old Man Liu's residence, and after chasing here, we actually found the hiding place of Wanjin Mountain, I don't know if that person has anything to do with Wanjin Mountain...

I crouched down by the entrance and looked into the fork in the road where we had come, it was pitch black, there was no movement, and the 'man' somehow didn't chase after me. Ignoring 'him' for now, I got up and walked to the closet, opened it and looked at it, it was full of clothes, and I fiddled with it, but I didn't find anything of value.

"Ah Leng." Yuxin had been leaning on the table and fiddling with the computer, and suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"Look, there's a picture in this computer's hard drive!"

"Photos? It can't be..."

I said in my heart, with such a cunning person as Wan Jinshan, since this computer system is not locked, there must be nothing in it, so I didn't even look at it...

Hearing Yu Xin say this at this moment, I walked over to take a look, only to see Yu Xin click on a folder, and sure enough, there were a lot of photos! … Yuxin pulled back one by one, and the front was a personal photo of Wan Jinshan. This old guy is very good at enjoying life, some are filmed in Hainan, some are filmed in Tibet, and some are filmed abroad... Wait, when it was more than twenty sheets, Yuxin stopped. I saw that this was the kind of color photo that was washed out, taken with a camera, and saved in the computer. Wan Jinshan in this photo looks dressed very old-fashioned, and the pose for the photo is also very stiff, and his eyes are listless...

I leaned my face closer and stared at it carefully, only to find that the person in the photo was not Wan Jinshan at all, but Wan Jinshan's brother, the old fox! … Yuxin enlarged the photo, although it was not very clear after enlargement, but it could still be seen that it was indeed the old fox... Yuxin and I looked at each other. The background of this photo is a little blurry, and then pull back, it's still an old fox, but the background is much clearer, judging from the antique buildings in the background, it should have been taken in Qingshi Town... The next one is a photo of the old fox and Wan Jinshan, if Wan Jinshan is thinner and wears the same clothes as the old fox, it looks like a person at all...

Moving on, it is Wanjin Mountain's own, and the background is still the buildings of Qingshi Town. Compared with the previous photos, this one doesn't seem to have been taken well, and it feels like the person taking the picture doesn't know how to use the camera very well, and he took a large half of the body. In addition, not far behind Wanjin Mountain, there was a person standing sideways with a bag on his back, which should have been a passing tourist who was mistakenly ingested into the camera... It seems that this should have been taken by Lao Fox.

Yu Xin continued to flip back, and at the moment when the photo changed and flashed, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in my mind.

"Wait a minute!"

Yuxin was startled by me and raised her hand violently, "What's wrong?" ”

"Turn back to the one above."

Yuxin was stunned, "What's wrong?" Could it be... It's also like in the Taihang Mountain, there are ghosts taken in the photo..."

"No, it's not..."

After Yuxin flipped it back, I enlarged the photo, and I stared at the backpacker behind Wanjin Mountain, and the more I looked, the bigger my eyes became...

"What's wrong, A-Leng?" Yuxin asked in a low voice.

"This... This man..."

"What's wrong with this man?"

I withdrew my gaze, took a breath, and looked at Yuxin, "Like a person." ”

"Like whom?"

"Morningstar's stepfather..."

"Sister Xing... Father-in-law?! Yuxin looked surprised.

"Hmm."

"That's what you told me before, killing Sister Xing's father, and then taking their family property and taking the young Sister Xing to the UK, surnamed Xiao?"

"That's right, Xiaoshan..."

"Is it really him?" Yuxin asked in a daze.

I'm not sure, the photo itself is not very clear, and the person behind Wan Jinshan is even less clear, and it's just a side, I just feel a little like...

"If that's him, how can he be in this picture?" Yuxin said.

Bluestone is a famous town with tourists from all over the world every day. Although Xiao Shan used to be in the UK, according to Morningstar, he often returned to China for vacations. If it is said that Xiaoshan went to Qingshi Town for a vacation, it is not unreasonable. However, Xiao Shan appears in this photo, so it doesn't make sense... There is no such coincidence in the world, Xiao Shan happened to pass by, and was photographed by the old fox 'click'... If it's a coincidence, it's incredible...

Suddenly, I thought of Xiaoshan, who was a tomb robber many years ago. And Wan Jinshan, after learning the art of yin and yang and the five elements from his brother Lao Hu, is also engaged in the tomb robbery industry... The so-called tomb robbery, the stolen things are basically sold abroad at a high price, and Xiaoshan is just abroad... Could it be that there is a business cooperative relationship between Xiaoshan and Wan Jinshan? …

In this photo, Wan Jinshan is holding a big brother that was popular in the nineties in his hand, with a pager pinned to his waist. It shows that these photos were taken in the 90s, when Big Brother and pager were status symbols for the rich (if you save face, one top of the current iPhone or something)... So I think these photos should have been taken when Wan Jinshan went to visit Lao Hu in Qingshi Town after he made a fortune by robbing tombs... So, in the photo, is the person behind Wan Jinshan really Xiao Shan? Did he have a relationship with Wanjin Mountain before? …

At this time, I thought of the 'unspeakable secret' hidden in Morning Star's heart, and I faintly felt in my heart that Morning Star's 'secret' might be related to her stepfather Xiao Shan... The thought of Morning Star made my heart ache like a pinprick in my heart, and I suddenly wanted to see her immediately...

After flipping through a few more photos, the old photos are gone, and the rest are all personal travel photos of Wan Jinshan (this Wan Jinshan loves to take selfies more than the current post-90s little girl, and she is also drunk), and I still expect to be able to see a photo of Wan Jinshan and the mysterious Gao Qien in these photos, there is no one at all. There is nothing else in this computer other than these photos. Looking at this situation, the reason why Wanjinshan does not lock the system is because in his opinion, it is just some photos, nothing valuable...

I don't want to stay in this hellish place for a moment, but if I go out along that fork in the road, I don't know if that 'ghost' is guarding that fork in the road. However, with this notebook lighting, I don't have to worry about it...

I was about to talk to Yuxin when I was about to leave, when suddenly, I saw a faint figure flash on the laptop screen. Startled, I instinctively grabbed the water glass next to my notebook and threw it backwards with my backhand. Immediately after, I jumped up suddenly, and the moment I turned around, I felt a lonely void rune from my pocket in my hand...

When I looked closely, I saw that there was one more person in the room. By the light of the notebook screen, I saw that this person was wearing a dirty and crumpled shroud, and it was really the dead ghost Old Man Liu! … However, looking at 'him' at this moment, there is an indescribable feeling, his appearance is no different from the one we saw when we were at the funeral home before... Finally, I realized that what was different was his eyes! A dead man's eyes look like a living person, but they are different from a living person, although his eyes are shiny, but his eyeballs don't move, and his eyelids don't even blink... I understood all at once...

"Yuxin be careful, there is something attached to 'him'." I said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man threw himself at me. I jumped up, jumped to both sides with Yuxin, shook my hand, and knocked out the Lonely Void Rune, but missed. The old man lunged at me sideways. I lifted my foot and kicked it, and again, it felt like I was kicking on a steel plate. Under the effect of the reaction, I took a few steps back, and 'boom', knocked down the small closet against the wall.

The old man didn't continue to attack me, nor did he attack Yuxin, but turned and threw himself at the laptop on the table... A thought flashed through my mind, how can this thing be so smart? As long as the laptop is broken and the light is gone, we are in a passive position...

Yuxin rolled on the ground, grabbed the notebook before the old man, and jumped aside. The old man threw himself at her.

I quickly took out an ice talisman, buckled it into the palm of my hand, eliminated all distracting thoughts, and silently recited the Yiqi Divine Mantra, after the ice talisman became cold, I opened my eyes suddenly, only to see that the old man had already choked Yuxin's neck. I stepped forward and smashed the ice talisman hard, 'pop', and smashed it on the old man's back.

The old man was like an electric shock, his whole body twitched, let go of Yuxin's neck, fell to the ground, and shook a few times before he moved.

"Yuxin, are you okay?"

"No... Ahem... It's okay..."

I let out a sigh and was about to check on the old man when my eyes squinted. I saw that the wardrobe was falling aside, and a hole appeared in the wall where the wardrobe was leaning...
