Li Bojian could hear from Chen Ziyang's tone that this man should be telling the truth, because of his profession, many years of experience in dealing with people told Li Bojian that this man does have a secret that can be used to make an exchange with himself.

So she turned around and walked back to the table, sat down again, and said to Chen Ziyang: "Let's talk about it, let me see if your so-called major news can move me, and whether there is any value in exchanging with me." ”

Chen Ziyang scratched his head helplessly, dealing with such a shrewd woman, if he didn't come up with something real, there was really no way to get the information he wanted. But Chen Ziyang was a little unwilling to hand over his old bottom like this, so he tried his best to bargain.

"First of all, tell me what do you know about the previous owner of this mountain villa? I don't need you to tell me specific things, I just want to know if what you have has is worth exchanging with me, after all, my news is really not very small. ”

"Since you said so, then I will ask you in turn, you first tell me what you know about this news, after all, you found me first, and now it is you who is anxious, not me. I don't care, there's a lot of news, it's a big deal, let's break it up, there's a lot of news wherever you look for it. ”

Now Chen Ziyang has found that he has one of the most fatal problems, as soon as he sees a beautiful woman, he is very easy to compromise, and he has no way to show all kinds of ways to deal with others in the face of women.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, it's true that I have a request for you, I'll first come up with something real and show my attitude, hoping that this can be the beginning of a good cooperation between the two of us. The news I'm going to say is that I know of a tomb, and it's very large. ”

"That's all, a tomb?" Li Bojian showed a very helpless expression, as if this news looked as insignificant as an ant in her eyes.

"You don't seem surprised? Aren't you interested in news on this front? Chen Ziyang asked strangely, the woman in front of him was unmoved by the information she had finally gritted her teeth to come up with, which Chen Ziyang did not expect.

"I'm asking you how well, what kind of place is this? This is Shaanxi Province, even the tomb of Qin Shi Huang is here, what is there to make a fuss about a tomb, if you really think that the existence of this ancient tomb is a major news, you can go to the Cultural Relics Bureau, maybe they will give you a reward. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I didn't make my words clear, what I'm trying to say is that the location of this tomb is just below that villa."

"What!" As long as a shrewd woman like Li Bojian hears this sentence, she can understand the hidden meaning. Before, Li Bojian was still wondering, why would this man be so interested in the fire more than ten years ago? Now she understands that this man also wants to find out the cause of the fire in the mountain villa more than ten years ago.

Originally, the fire was unclear, but after investigation by various personnel, no definite conclusion was reached, and in the end, the fire could only be labeled as an accident.

Now that we know that there is an ancient tomb under this mountain villa, it is impossible for the two to be unconnected, and it is very likely that if you dig down this clue, you will find the truth about the fire more than ten years ago.

Having said this, Chen Ziyang finally saw the cautious expression he hoped to appear on Li Bojian's face. Li Bojian took out a cigarette again, lit it and took a deep breath, which was a sign of her nervousness, Chen Ziyang knew that his weight had finally been added, and the balance between the two people had tilted in his direction.

"Why should I trust you? How do I know if you're lying to me? Maybe you're just making up a story to get the news in my hands. Although Li Bojian attaches great importance to this news, her years of career in journalism have made her very sophisticated, and she is not in a hurry to exchange information with Chen Ziyang.

When Li Bojian asked this, Chen Ziyang was stunned. Oh, yes! I think it's a sure thing, but it's hard to make others believe in me, which I have ignored before. After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang took out the compass he was carrying, shook it in front of Li Bojian, and then quickly put it away.

Seeing this compass, Li Bojian's face showed a trace of contempt. "It turns out that you are a tomb robber, if you want to ask me about the news of the owner of the mountain villa before, it has something to do with the fact that you want to dig this grave, this is Shaanxi Province, and tomb robbers like you are the most despicable to us."

"You can't afford to see that I have nothing to do with me, that's all I can tell you right now, and the rest depends on whether you want to work with me or not. An unknown fire killed dozens of people, and now a huge mausoleum has been found underneath this mountain villa, I think there must be something between the two, don't you want to find out the truth of the matter? Don't you want to give these people justice?

If you can tell me a clue about the owner of the villa, maybe dig down this clue, and the two of us can uncover the secret of this fire, which should be good news for you, what do you think?

And I can tell you very frankly that the mausoleum was stolen and dug more than ten years ago, and it is very likely that it has been stolen and dug many times. If I really wanted to rob the tomb, I wouldn't just come to you, I just need to find the location of the tomb and dig a hole in it, I don't have to do these meaningless things, and I'm still sitting here and telling you the secret. ”

Chen Ziyang's words obviously played a role, and after listening to his words, it was finally Li Bojian's turn to keep silent. The woman in front of Chen Ziyang sat there quietly, bowing her head and thinking carefully about what Chen Ziyang said, and the cigarette in her hand burned slowly like that, until a long section of cigarette ash fell and hit Li Bojian's hand, and the woman recovered from her contemplation.

"I can tell you what you want to know, I know a lot more than you think, but I also have one condition, if you don't agree to me, everyone will treat as if today's meeting didn't happen, and even if the two of us meet again in the future, we must pretend to be the same passers-by."

"The initiative has always been in your hands, and I don't have anything to do, let's talk about your conditions first, you can't let me agree without even knowing what the conditions are."

"I don't care what your purpose is, and even I can tell you the information about the owner of the mountain estate right now, but you're going to take me to that cemetery. I want to see it with my own eyes so that I know that what you are saying is indeed true. I'm not asking for too much. As far as I can guess, you're going to visit that tomb once, and in that case, it's no big deal to take me with you. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Ziyang nodded, Li Bojian's request was reasonable, after all, the information she took in exchange was that there was an ancient tomb under that villa, if Li Bojian didn't let her own eyes take a look, her information would be worthless, so her request was not excessive.

"Well, if you tell me everything you know about the fire and the owner of the lodge, I can take you to that tomb. But what makes me curious is that a beautiful woman like you should be pampered, even if you are a very enterprising person, you shouldn't risk your life like this, aren't you afraid? I've heard that place is wicked.

When someone told me about that place before, she shivered as she spoke. So I guess that place should be very evil for you.

And I've heard that a lot of people who have been there have mysteriously disappeared and never reappeared. If you really want to verify the existence of the tomb, you can send someone else there without having to go yourself.

So your actions seem very unconscionable to me, and I need a convincing reason to let me know that what you tell me is true, and that you are not making things up to me. And I want to know why you're so concerned about the tomb, or the cause of the fire in the villa. ”

Since meeting Li Bojian, the initiative of the whole thing has been firmly grasped by this woman, and at this time, Chen Ziyang finally discovered a loophole in her. From the perspective of excavation news alone, this Li Bojian can't help but take this matter too seriously, and she actually wants to follow her into the tomb to have a look.

The waiter before couldn't wait to keep silent when he talked about this tomb, as if just talking about the existence of this villa was a very terrible thing, so Chen Ziyang felt that the reason why Li Bojian wanted to go there must be other things to do, not just to write a piece of news.

Seeing that Chen Ziyang had discovered his flaws, Li Bojian smiled bitterly. "You are a very smart person and I like to deal with smart people. I'll answer your first question first, about what you said I'm not afraid of. Actually, it's very simple, to say that I'm not afraid it's all fake, but I'm a journalist.

If we want to dig up some big news, we have to take a big risk, and the danger will come with it. I used to be a simple little girl, as you said, but I loved the profession of journalist very much, so I threw all my body and mind into it without hesitation.

In order to cover a shady company, I used to work as a female worker there undercover for more than a year, and I didn't leave there until I found out the evidence of the company's crimes. Later, when I wrote about the company, I was threatened a lot.

Threatening phone calls and letters were commonplace, and even after a while, the owner of the company saw that I was unmoved, and asked people to throw some dead cats and dogs in front of my house, or some knives stained with the blood of unknown animals.

I was really scared at first, but my work ethic and my personality made it impossible for me to compromise. It was from that time that I forced myself to be strong and gritted my teeth and persevered. Over the years, I have reported countless news stories and offended many snobbish people.

The more you are afraid, the more you compromise, the more rampant they will be, the more they will intensify. After so many years, I haven't forgotten what it's like to be afraid, but I can be brave enough to face the fear in my own heart.

In fact, the mountain village is not as evil as the legend says, and some old people in this city often scare the children and tell them that if they are disobedient, they will throw them into the mountain village. I'm sure you've heard a lot of rumors about that villa, some kind of ghost with a pitch-black face, just a big bloody mouth with a row of white fangs showing out.

The most important thing in journalism is pragmatism, and I don't think that in such a materialistic society, there will be such ethereal things as ghosts, and those who are just ignorant people scare themselves.

There are also many legends that some people did not come out after arriving in that villa, which I think is also artificial, after all, since the villa was burned to ashes, there have been many investigators who have gone there to conduct on-site investigations, analyze the cause of the fire in the villa, and sort out the bones of the burned people, but none of these people have had an accident, which is very telling.

What can make people afraid is not how terrible the thing itself is, but people's fear is at work, and they are just scaring themselves. I've overcome the fear in my heart, so rest assured that I won't hold you back when I get there.

But one thing you said is very true, just to find an ancient tomb, I don't need to be so concerned. I mainly want to use this clue to find out the cause of the fire in the villa. The fire at the lodge has been on my mind for more than a decade, and I have always wanted to know the cause of the fire at the lodge.

This villa has a direct relationship with me, although after the villa caught fire, there were many professional fire scene analysis personnel who went there to analyze, and even because there were too many people killed in the fire, the province also organized an elite team to investigate here, but the cause of the fire is still nowhere to be traced.

That's why you want to know about the owner of the lodge, probably because some of your friends died in the fire, or if you have some other reason why you have to investigate the flames.

However, because of your profession, you accidentally discovered an ancient tomb under the mountain villa, which is new news to me, and it is very likely that there is a necessary connection between the ancient tomb and the mountain villa fire.

I don't care about your purpose, at least we have the same starting point on this point. Since I'm already planning to work with you, I'll be honest. I had a reason why I had to go there and investigate it myself, because the owner of that cottage was my father.

And this fire completely changed my father's life. ”
