I sat and rested for a while, calmed my breath, and re-watched the surveillance video, and found that the whole video revealed a lot of information.

First of all, the man was clearly coming at the old woman in the trunk; Secondly, he locked my car with a slight turn, and there was no doubt about it. So it's likely that they followed us all the way to the hospital and waited for an opportunity.

I remembered that in the old dilapidated house in Ningwei Village, the old lazy man made a sound, and the old woman inside turned on the light and asked, "Coming?" "Obviously waiting for someone, it should be that she found someone to deal with the aftermath after she knocked Li Xu unconscious, but we were the first to do it. Judging from the current situation, it was probably when we were fighting, rescuing and tying up the old woman, and the person who picked her up arrived, found that the situation was wrong, hid where and did not act, and then followed us all the way to the hospital. At that time, Li Xu's condition was so bad, our attention was on her, and it was normal not to notice that she was being followed.

But the lazy man vetoed this speculation.

He said that he had been paying close attention to the situation before and after when he was driving, and he was definitely not followed, especially the nearly half-hour journey from the village to the city, and we were the only car.

That would be weird.

How the hell did they keep up? Our operation was sudden, and we didn't fight anyone except the old woman in the trunk, how the hell did they manage to keep up so quickly?

I thought, thought, thought, thought, and suddenly slowly moved my gaze down, moved to the smartphone I was holding in my hand, looked at it for a few seconds, looked up at the old lazy and said, "When I tied up that old woman, I seem to have forgotten to search her, right?" If she has a smartphone and someone else knows her account and password, she can log on to the website at any time to check the location of the phone. ”

The lazy man nodded in agreement, and then rewatched the video, in which the man entered the parking lot and looked from the front row to the front, and stopped immediately when he saw my car.

We all know that the positioning of the mobile phone shows the approximate location at most, such as the Jiangcheng People's Hospital, it is impossible to be accurate to the point, and it is impossible to locate which car the person with the mobile phone is, but the man in the video locked it as soon as he saw my car, which is illogical to reason from the line of mobile phone positioning, but it is logical to reason in a different way: the man in the video is an acquaintance around me.

This person should know my situation very well, know my trajectory, maybe he didn't know that I tied up the old woman at first, but after following the positioning information to track here and then see my car, he basically counted, so open the trunk and take a look, 100% sure, and then take the car away.

This is definitely someone close to me!

I sat down in the chair fiercely, watched the video over and over again, and compared him with all the men I knew, including Chang Kun, Ding Ping, He Zhiqin, Wang Dongsheng, Liu Yimin, Yafeng, Fu Yuxin, Xia Dongyi, Su Mosen, Shi Ling's father Shi Yan, etc., etc., all of them were analyzed in my mind, except for Bai Yafeng, who can exclude the relatively large difference in figure, it seems that anyone else is possible, even Ding Ping is possible, as long as he wears a fat and thin overalls that do not show his figure, and wears a peaked cap, Walking deliberately with a limp, just like the person in the video.

And there are a lot of people besides them who know that I'm involved in these messy events, like the people at the research center.

So I thought it could be solved very easily, but suddenly I was at a loss.

The police officer sent by Ding Ping to help us immediately called the traffic department, reported my license plate and car model, and asked them to monitor all sections of the road to find the car.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and my lazy man and I were hungry, so we asked the technician to copy the video of the car theft into my mobile phone, and hurried out to eat something. The honest and docile policeman went to the Ministry of Transportation to help us keep an eye on it, so I bought two meals and brought them back to the inpatient department for Xiaohai and Dai Furong, and sat crookedly in the chair in the ward to make up for sleep, but I only slept for two hours before I was woken up by the phone, it was the policeman who called just now, telling me that the car had been found, in a fork in the eastern suburbs of the city.

The lazy man and I immediately took a taxi to the place he said, saw my car from a distance, and became stupid again.

My wrecked car had burned to the point that only a pile of skeletons remained, and it was black, and there was still smoke in a few places.

The police were leading people to investigate the scene, and when they saw us coming, they came over and said that it had been confirmed that there were no casualties and that the car was empty.

In other words, after the man rescued the old woman in the video, he was afraid that there would be hair or fingerprints left in the car, so he burned it clean.

I wanted to swear a swearing, but when I opened my mouth, I laughed and said something very indecent: "Ha, this time I finally have a reason to buy a new car!" I want a black Land Rover, off-road, go! ”

I shouted the words "Black Land Rover" to the point where I gritted my teeth, and I hated the way I could pick my skin and cramp.

In a sense, the "Black Land Rover" represents the power of the research center that is opposed to Chang Kun, and represents the "above" that has been legendary for a long time, and is our enemy who has been in a state of stealth for so long.

As I spoke, I left the police there to deal with the follow-up matters, dragged the old lazy back to the hospital, and went to the intensive care unit to ask first, Li Xu didn't wake up yet, so I went back to Dai Furong.

Dai Furong finally calmed down a little at that time, although her face was still pale and in a trance, at least she didn't mumble and blame herself like before. I sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at him and asked him if he wanted to eat apples. He looked at the bedside table next to him and nodded slightly. So I took a fruit knife and an apple and peeled it for him. He looked at me quietly and did not speak.

After eating an apple slowly, he told us the whole thing quietly, in a somewhat sad voice.

During this time, he mixed with the tomb robbers and smuggled cultural relics and heard a lot of news, because he was particularly concerned about the Yin family in Jiangnan, and someone told him that five or six years ago, an old woman also inquired about the Yin family, saying that as long as she could help her contact Yin Xiangnan or Yin Sanlang, she would be rewarded with a lot of money. The man said that the old woman had left an address, which seemed to be a village called Xiaohuangshan under Jiangcheng.

When I heard this, I had a rough idea of what was going on next. Because there is a line in the notebook left by Dai Furong's uncle Dai Wenjing: Little Barren Mountain Half Moon Cliff.

Really.

Dai Furong said: "I carefully checked the old names of the towns and villages in Xiajiang City, and found that six years ago, there was a village under Bingji Town that was really called Xiaohuangshan Village. My uncle had this address in his notebook, and I always thought it was the name of the mountain, but I only figured out that it was the name of the village until I got here, so I went to see it. ”

Because it had been five or six years since the old woman asked the tomb robbers to inquire about the Yin family, Dai Furong subconsciously thought that she should not be in Xiaohuangshan Village, but just wanted to take a trip, so as not to feel untrue when she saw the lines on the notebook in the future.

He went to Ningwei Village to inquire about the location of the Half Moon Cliff, and found the old dilapidated house. The villager who showed him the way asked him if he was a relative of the old woman in the old house, and he vaguely agreed, and only then did he make sure that she was still there, so he wanted to call us first, but he felt that it was just an old woman, and it should be fine, and besides, he also had a weapon, so he went alone when he was bold.

When he arrived in front of the old dilapidated house, it was evening, no one answered the knock on the door, and the door of the house was closed tightly but not locked, so he went in on his own initiative, and searched around inside and out, and finally found that the floor under the table of the Eight Immortals was uneven, and after careful study it was found to be the board of the cellar. He had lived in the countryside for a few months, and knew that some peasants would build cellars to store grain and vegetables for the winter, but the entrance was usually not located under the table of the eight immortals in the hall, and there was no need to make it so hidden, so he thought it was strange, so he went down and took a look.

So I saw the scene in the photo, a pool, a female corpse that was entwined with vines and flowers blooming from her mouth.

He was too scared at the time to recognize the female corpse as Shi Ling at all, and after taking a photo with a flashlight, he quickly checked the surrounding situation, only some farm tools and potatoes.

By the time he wanted to leave, it was too late.

For the old woman had returned, and the footsteps sounded heavily overhead.

How could an old woman hiding such a strange corpse in the cellar not be in danger, so Dai Furong sent a distress message to my phone without much thought, and I was talking to the old lazy man on the phone at the time, asking him to hand over the painting to save his life, and it all happened together.

Speaking of this, Dai Furong lowered her head and repeated the sentence that she had repeated many times before: "I shouldn't have sent you a text message." ”

He said: "I regretted it after I sent it, but I can't withdraw it, and even if I reissue it again and say leave me alone, you won't listen." ”

He is not wrong about this, I will find a way to save it anyway, instead of using the opportunity cost theory explained by Chang Kun first.

Chang Kun and I are not the same kind of people.

Fearing that the light and sound would alarm the old woman above, Dai Furong had to turn off all electronic devices that emit light and sound, and guard the corpse in the dark.

He didn't know anything about what happened to Li Xu, and said that he did hear a footstep that seemed to be different from the old woman's sound overhead, tiptoeing, and he thought it might be me, but he didn't shout for the sake of safety. As the footsteps walked from the hall to the other room, there was a dull sound, as if something had fallen to the ground, and he was even more frightened when he guessed that something might have happened.

I regret it even more.

He was going to wait for the old woman to fall asleep before he moved, and when he heard more footsteps from above, and it was so chaotic that he could not make out the situation and did not dare to move, until he heard me call out to him.
