The photo that Jiang Xun brought was a family photo of a local family many years ago, the person who provided the clue was called Zhao Qing, the photo was left by his father, the middle-aged man holding the child next to the old man was his father, and the child in his arms was him. And the name of the person who looked exactly like the corpse was Zhao Guoan, and he was his own grandfather.

When my son and I rushed to the police station from the hospital, Zhao Qing was talking to Guo Zheng, "My wife saw the photo you posted that day, and came back to tell me that she looked very similar to my father, I didn't believe it at first, so I took a look and told my wife that it was all a coincidence." ”

The two of us walked over, Zhao Qing paused, Guo Zheng nodded and motioned for us to follow them all the way, and then he continued.

"Everyone in this street knows how many years my dad has been dead, not to mention my father, when he went to the old man's fairy, I just ran away, he can't remember what he looks like, my wife found me such a photo from the album, and the result is exactly the same."

"At that time, I didn't pay attention to it, but a few days ago I had a dream, I dreamed that my father, scolded me for being unfilial, let him be in the wild, and said that there were no clothes to wear there, it was very cold, and asked me to hold a ceremony for him, put him in the ground, and burn his clothes. At first, I didn't take it seriously, but then for a few days, my father scolded more and more ruthlessly, and said the same thing every day, which frightened me, and then told my wife, my wife saw that I was really scared, so I took a photo to come here to identify the body, don't have any grave digging and robbing the body to dig out the body, how much virtue does it have to lack to be able to do it, but I thought, this body has been buried for so many years, and it has long been rotten when it is dug up, how can it still be the same as a living person. ”

Zhao Qing was holding a glass of water in his hand, it looked hot, and his palms were red, "Don't call me superstitious, I can't believe this kind of thing, but I'm really fed up, it's too scary That dream, no one can stand it every day." Yesterday my wife came here and you only left a photo, and you didn't say anything, I still can't be relieved today, so I came to ask if you can give me a solution. There is really no one to take the corpse, or I will bury it as my father, and I will ask for peace of mind now. ”

"Where is this kind of thing, the corpse will definitely not be given to you." Tang Jiao didn't finish speaking, but Guo Zheng glanced at him, cut off the conversation, and shrugged his neck awkwardly.

Guo Zheng took a puff of cigarette and said, "We as police officers don't have the right to dispose of corpses casually, let's talk about this matter in a few days, you go back and wait for news first." ”

"But I'm ......"

"Let's go back." Guo Zheng interrupted him, spit out a puff of turbid cigarette, and extinguished the cigarette butt after smoking, "I'll discuss with the above, if no one really comes to claim it, if it's feasible, I'll call you again." ”

Zhao Qing didn't have anything else to say, so he could only nod, get up and put down the cup to say goodbye.

When the person left, I quietly looked around, only to find that Jiang Xun was not there.

Thinking of his actions when he came to send the photos yesterday, his words were clearly concerned about me, but this expression made me at a loss.

From Dongyan Town to here, I can understand why Jiang Xun must follow us, I know how it feels when an alien encounters the same kind, this one misses, and the next one doesn't know if it will come again.

If it weren't for his strange behavior, I would have really liked to be friends with him, but I can't figure out his various behaviors, and it's easy to show a defensive and fearful attitude towards the unknown. Even if I want to explore, the only thing I can restrain myself from doing is to escape. Because I'm not just one person, I still have Ziwei by my side, and any decision I make must be responsible for the two of us.

The fan whirred and swirled, shaking my head from side to side, blowing my head up every once in a while.

The three of them sat around discussing what to do with the corpse, Ziwei said: "The bug is related to Muzhang County, and the corpse is related to bugs, until I find Muzhang County, I think it's better not to touch him." ”

"To put it mildly, where can we find Muzhang County? There's no clue to this, so we can't dig into the ground, right? ”

"Sun Huaxing knows."

"He knows that it's a fart, he can't protect himself now, and he doesn't know how many breaths he can take!"

Tang Kao huffed, "Didn't you hear him say that it was hell? I've lived for more than 20 years and I'm not afraid of death for the first time, why are you so obsessed with Muzhang County, the people in Dongyan Town have already ......"

"Shut up!" Ziwei glared at him.

Tang Jia was not happy, "How can you kid talk to the elders!" Why don't you call me Brother Sheng? Have you done this to your benefactor? ”

Ziwei said: "It is Jiang Xun who is kind to us, not you. ”

"I'll represent Jiang Xun, we are good brothers, okay?"

Ziwei turned his face and ignored him, Tang Jiao heyed, rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to reason with him, but the fan behind him suddenly stopped rotating with a click. Tang Jiao jumped up and got behind Ziwei all of a sudden, as if the person who quarreled with Ziwei just now was not him, and asked in a soft voice, "What's the situation?" There won't be ghosts, right? ”

I glanced in that direction, and then remembered that I don't know what was wrong here, I didn't seem to be able to see the souls of others.

The grass and trees are all soldiers, and I also have a heart, and my fingers touched the rune paper brought out of my arms.

Guo Zheng shook his head, got up and stayed inside for a few seconds, and the fan whistled again.

"The power in this small place is not very stable, there is a person watching the power station, the maintenance is in his charge, often power outages, we are all used to it, many families have their own small generators, when the power is out, it can last for a while."

We breathed a sigh of relief, and Guo Zheng asked me, "Is that corpse burned or not?" ”

"Let's stay out yet." I said, "I agree with Ziwei." ”

Tang Jia didn't say anything, Guo Zheng nodded, "Since this matter is related to Muzhang County you said, we will try our best to assist you, if necessary, you can just ask." ”

"Thank you."

"But I only have one request." Guo Zheng looked at me.

I hummed, "I understand, we won't let things leak, we won't do strange things and cause a riot, and if we break the agreement, you can turn around and arrest us." ”

"Okay, that's what you said." Guo Zheng took out another box of cigarettes, gave one to Tang Jiao, and said, "If necessary, I can take you to meet the perpetrator." ”

"I'm not going." Tang Jiao waved his hand again and again, but did not answer the cigarette.

I pondered for a moment, thinking that it would not hurt to see each other, and that we had no clues anyway.

Before he could speak, Ziwei said, "I'll go, Master, you rest here." ”

He followed Guo Zheng into a police car, and I went back to my residence with Tang Jiao first, walking on the road, I hesitated a few times, but still asked him: "Jiang Xun is not here today?" ”

"He, he said he wanted to wander around, survey the terrain, let's eat and don't wait for him, who knows where he went, that guy is elusive, typical of disorganization and undiscipline."

"Aren't you brothers? You don't know where he's gone and you're not worried? ”

"I'm worried about him, who is worried about me." Tang Jiao stretched his waist carelessly, and said as he walked: "Anyway, I am used to him running out all the time, and he will naturally come back when the time comes, and I have never been injured or had an accident before." He is more capable than me, even if something really happens, I am not in front of him, he is less of a drag, I have to really go to him, and in the end I don't know who will save whom. ”

I looked at him, "You can think of it." ”

"That's it." Tang Kari said: "I understood a truth when I was a child, do you know what it is? ”

"What?" I looked at him with some curiosity.

Tang Karan grinned, "Being a man, you can be impatient, but you can't be without self-knowledge." Do everything according to your ability, at least not to attract suspicion. ”

"Makes sense." I nodded, Tang Jiao smiled even more happily, and said to me: "Actually, we both get along very well, and you will know slowly in the future, I am a generous person, if you and your little apprentice are willing to come to my shop and follow me, you will definitely not suffer a loss." ”

I wanted to get close to him, jumped into his pit, and said, "Ziwei and I really don't have any friends around now, I will consider what you said." However, we are not particularly familiar with it after all, and we may not be able to give you an answer right away. ”

Tang Jiao saw that I opened my mouth loosely, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you should think about it, I understand, I understand." When this is over, you can go with us to Chengshui to have a look, that place is good, lively. ”

I nodded again and asked, "Is Jiang Xun also your employee?" What did he do with you? ”

"Not really." Tang Jiao said: "The two of us are business partners, he has sold me a few things, needless to say, the quality is needless to say, many people who have never seen this line of treasure, just take out one, enough to spend in the next life." It's this kind of superlative, he must still have it in his hand, do you see the beads in his hand? ”

I was stunned and nodded.

Tang Jiao saw that there was no one around, hooked his hand at me, I bowed my head slightly, he approached me and said: "It is a thousand-year-old agarwood, or dead and sinking, it has to be an old agarwood that has lived for hundreds of years and is naturally ambushed and buried in the soil, and the immortal wood left by thousands of years of bacterial corrosion, and the tons of trees can't be left much in the end." I have never seen him pick up his string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, and he is so well maintained, there is no crack in half of it, look at the color, beautiful! The fragrance goes straight to the heart. ”

I agree with this, Jiang Xun's string of beads is fragrant, but not particularly strong. Faint, but the sense of smell is always caught at once, and it can be distinguished at the first time.

"An agarwood piece is worth 10,000 dollars, think about how much his one hundred and eight Buddha beads are worth?" Tang Jiao talked about the light in his eyes, and said: "I saw a small statue of Guanyin at the auction, and the workmanship is good, but whether it is the shape, color, or taste of the material, it is not as good as Jiang Xun's string, and finally sold for 46 million." ”

"He also has a piece of blood jade on top of his Buddha beads." I saw that he was energetic and reminded, "Isn't it worth it well?" ”

"I haven't looked at that jade carefully, he himself said that it was a jade taken out of a dead man's mouth, which is almost the kind of blood jade you said, and I haven't seen it on the market, so it's hard to estimate its value. But I don't think it's a good thing, it's too yin, I always look at the blood lines in it will move, and every time I see it, it's different. And our master still uses it as a container for ghosts, and no matter how good the baby is, it will be ruined. ”

"He told you this?" I'm a little surprised, since it's a baby, he should avoid it, otherwise how would he know that others won't covet it.

Tang Jiao responded, "If you ask him, he will tell you, as for whether it is true or not, it depends on your own judgment, most of the time it is quite reliable, this person is a little casual, but he is not a fool, he is a friend worth making." ”

"How long have you known him?"

"It's been more than a year, he knows a lot of things, I thought about it for a long time after I solved the treasure map, if I went by myself, I would definitely not be able to come back, so I pulled it on, I always thought that he had robbed the tomb, otherwise where did so many treasures come from." Tang Jia said: "But after he saw the picture, he also looked bottomless, and said that he had to find another helper to go to the tomb." The two of us went to the street to find a lame old man and counted a hexagram, and the old man wrote us a signed document and asked us to follow the look. ”

"Signature?" I asked tentatively, "Is that it that says to let you go to Dongyan Town?" ”
