Chapter 344: Layout People's Intent (2)
When the four words "Mr. You" came out, the old god's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You even found this?" ”
I nodded without hesitation: "I didn't find it, but guessed it." Also, I'm not sure if You's real name. Now it seems that there is no need for him to remain incognito. "More than 20 years ago, all the people in the village did not have a household registration, and in the entire village, only the Xiao family knew what the old god's surname was.
It is also for this reason that we have not been able to find Xiao Yingfeng through the household registration records.
To this day, no one knows what the old god stick is called, so it can be seen that the old god stick has not been registered to this day. So such a person is not afraid of others knowing what his child's surname is. The descendant of the old god stick is none other than You Lu. In the past, children were born earlier, and according to age, You Lu is more likely to be the grandson of the old god.
And this inference was quickly confirmed in the mouth of the old god.
"I know him." I said to the old god.
The old god man sighed: "I know ......"
"Old gentleman, are You Lu's parents biological?" I asked.
The old god stick nodded, and he told me that he also found out more than twenty years ago that his child did not die, and moreover, he also gave birth to You Lu, and it was from that time that he only knew the name of You Lu. When the old god stick said this, Xiao Lao also recalled.
Both of them came to this place to escape the turmoil in that special context more than forty years ago. The catastrophe was so serious that many people who had no time to flee died. The old god's wife died young, but his wife bore him a child.
He and his children were forced to separate from each other while fleeing the troubles, and the children, who were only a few years old, were almost certain to die in that context. After coming to Xiaopan Village, the old god stick decided that his child was dead, and in order not to be sad, he didn't even think about it anymore, and Xiao Lao, who was an old friend, didn't mention it.
It's been a long time. Almost everyone, even the old god stick himself has forgotten. It wasn't until more than 20 years ago that his memories were recalled, and the reason why those people came to Xiaopan Village to ask the old god stick to act according to their will was the safety of the old god stick's children.
The old god left a token on the child. Seeing the token, the old god stick was completely convinced that what those people said was true. The men told the old god that not only did his child not die, but that he had grown up and had a son of his own: You Lu. The men promised that as long as the old god stick did what they wanted, they would let him see his children and grandchildren. But if he refuses, his relatives will have no choice but to die.
After hearing this, Xiao Lao laughed wildly, but in that smile, he was full of choked words: "You actually killed other people's relatives in order to protect your own family!" ”
The old god stick lowered his head, between these two old men of about the same age, grievances were entangled, the old god stick must have returned to the loess with remorse, and Xiao Lao must have also carried resentment when he entered the coffin.
According to the previous speculation, You Lu came to Yun Province to hold this art exhibition, and he definitely came to Xiaopan Village, but I have never been able to connect You Lu with Xiaopan Village, until just now when Xiao Lao asked the old god stick what could force him to harm people, the old god stick's sentence "It is also because of human life" made me speculate.
Other people's lives have nothing to do with the old god stick, so the only thing that can force him is the lives of his relatives.
Those people must have fulfilled their promises, because You Lu's paintings show the Xiao family's ancient house and Xiaotanzi, which means that You Lu had come to Xiaopan Village before holding the art exhibition, and the purpose of his coming to Xiaopan Village is probably to come to see him, his grandfather. I thought about it carefully, at this time, there was no need for the old god stick to lie to me, so the lives of the You Brigade family were threatened, and there would be no fake.
But after all these years, You Brigade was able to move freely, and his behavior was very strange, which made me wonder if You Brigade had been persuaded by those people to join their criminal syndicate. The old god seemed to see through my thoughts, and he hurriedly shook his head: "Sun Er, he is a good person, he doesn't know anything!" ”
I stared at the old god stick, the old god stick's forehead was drenched with sweat, but I couldn't tell whether his nervousness was because he was afraid that I would misunderstand You Lu, or because he was afraid that I would recognize You Lu.
The old man went on to tell me that more than twenty years ago, he followed the rumors that those people had told the Xiao family about the curse, but those people did not bring the old god's children and grandchildren to meet him, and only took pictures of him. From the perspective of the photo, it should be a candid shot.
On the photo, although his child has grown up, the old god stick still recognizes it, that is his child, the old god stick said, took out a few photos from his arms, these photos, the old god stick always in mind. Through the photos, I saw You Lu's father, You Lu when he was a child, and You Lu when he grew up.
Indeed, there are some similarities between these three people and Meiyu. The angles of the photos are all typical of candid shots, which makes the old god stick think that You Lu's family doesn't know anything, but they are in danger all the time, and as long as the old god stick doesn't listen to those people, You Lu's family will be killed. Wooden Jieba.
"Then later, You Lu came to you more than once!" I asked.
The old god stick told me that ten years ago, those people threatened the old god stick again, although they didn't let the old god stick personally kill the rest of the Xiao family, but after all, it involved human life, and the old god stick hesitated. So, when You Lu was still learning to paint, he was tied up in Xiaopan Village.
After those people kidnapped You Lu, they didn't hurt You Lu, but put him in Xiaopan Village, and it was also that time that the old god saw You Lu for the first time, and they recognized each other. The old god stick said that You Luchun was an ordinary kidnapping incident, and You Lu also said at the time that he was lucky that because of the kidnapping, he also found his grandfather.
Due to the lack of transportation, You Lu stayed in the village for a long time, and he was unable to contact his parents. Soon, those people reappeared, You Brigade was taken away, and afterwards, those people told the old god stick that it was You Brigade who was threatened this time. Those people told You Lu not to call the police, let alone tell him about his encounter with his grandfather, otherwise, the old god's life would be in danger.
You Lu is not stupid, he understands the power of those people, so after so many years, he has not called the police.
"When he was kidnapped, I didn't know where he was, and it wasn't until a few months ago that he told me that he had been secretly looking for me for so many years." The old god cried.
After getting along more than ten years ago, the old god stick was even more reluctant to be killed, so he agreed to those people's conditions.
A few months ago, You Lu wanted to take the old god stick away, but the old god stick refused, and the old god stick knew that he wouldn't live long. After Xiao Yingfeng left, those people asked the old god stick to stay, and they asked the old god stick that if someone came to investigate, the old god stick would take the charge of killing the Xiao family on their own bodies.
For the safety of his loved ones, the old god stick continued to stay in the village for so many years.
"Didn't those people come to you again?" I asked.
The old god shook his head: "For more than ten years, they haven't looked for me again, but I don't dare to risk the lives of my relatives." It wasn't until a while ago that I was finally approached by someone who told me that my mission was complete and said that someone would find me soon. According to the old man's description, that man was a mysterious man.
The mysterious man told the old man that if someone came to the village and found out the truth himself, he would confess, and if nothing was found, he would continue to keep that secret. After the old god stick saw me, he quickly guessed that I would find out everything, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this was a conspiracy, he was innocently involved, and after he had no use value, he would definitely be murdered.
In this way, all the cases in Xiaopan Village were solved, but I still couldn't find out who was behind the scenes. When we came out of the Xiao family's ancient house, we were surprised to find that there were many policemen standing in the heavy rain, and those policemen told me that it was Wen Ning who contacted them.
Wen Ning couldn't contact us, but he knew that we would come to Xiaopan Village, so he asked the local police to come to us, and after checking it, they knew that the road was blocked, so they cleared the road.
Da Zhuang, Xiao Lao, Lao Chinese Medicine and Lao Shenzhu were taken away by the police, and the Xiao family's cultural relics and treasures were also handed over to the state.
Instead of staying in the village, we went back to the city with the police, who asked us to assist in the investigation of the case, which we gladly accepted. When Jiang Jun asked me if I had any clue about who was behind the scenes, I first shook my head, but then nodded: "I can be sure that the mastermind behind the blackmail of the old god stick is not the same as the mysterious man who informed the old god stick a few months ago. ”
Jiang Jun was slightly stunned: "Why?" ”
