Hearing this, Chen Ziyang couldn't believe his ears. That's a coincidence, isn't it? But then he thought back to the whole thing, and Chen Ziyang felt that although this matter sounded a little unbelievable, it was very reasonable on the whole.

When I was searching for news about the fire in the villa before, I found more than 1oo articles about the news of the fire in the villa, but among so many reports, the only face-to-face interview with the owner of the villa was written by Li Bojian.

It seems that after the fire in the villa, the boss did not accept the interview with great fanfare, but only accepted an interview with Li Bojian alone. If this Li Bojian has no special relationship with the owner of this villa, it is impossible for such a thing to happen, why can't other reporters interview the owner of this villa? So Chen Ziyang somewhat believed this woman's words.

The daughter is a journalist, and it is understandable to interview her father, but after such a devastating fire, this move is a little too incredible. This woman is either an extremely crazy journalist, or her heart is too big, and her family's big business has been burned down, and she still has the heart to work.

"It's hard to believe it, but in fact, I was able to become the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, which is inseparable from the report I wrote in the first place.

My father used to co-run this kind of high-end club in another place, and the friend he was cooperating with at that time was in real estate, and my father was in the network and management.

But when the high-end club did a good job, my father's partner became greedy. So he tried his best to kick my father out, which was really no choice, after all, the property belonged to someone else. So from that time on, my father decided that if he wanted to start a business, he must have his own property.

Later, my father found out that there was a large villa on the side of the mountain to be redeemed, and the environment of this place was just right for such a high-end mountain villa club, so my father took out all his family wealth and exchanged this property. So we moved here with my family.

Because of his previous experience and connections, my father did a smooth job this time. I was in college when it opened, and a year later, when I was about to graduate, I came to live in the city, where I did an internship as a freshman after graduation.

At that time, my career was also just starting, and my family's business was also booming, just when everything was showing up for the better, but I didn't expect this fire to suddenly arise.

A fire burned the entire villa to ashes. My father borrowed a lot of foreign debts to run this villa, and he was confident in the hardware of the villa, and he really didn't have any extra money to pay the high insurance premiums, so this fire burned down my father's entire property.

Without the backing of this business, all the creditors came to the door to ask for debts, and my father's life was very difficult at that time. I was also very uncomfortable to see him so sad, so I wanted him to talk about my heart as a reporter, so I interviewed him and wrote that report.

It was precisely because of the unique perspective of this report that I stood out from the many interns and was eventually retained by the newspaper. After my internship, I stayed there. Later, more and more people asked for debts, and they came more and more frequently, and even my life was greatly affected.

I told you before that I went to that company to work as a female worker and go undercover to collect information, in fact, in addition to this purpose, I also went out to hide quietly. ”

Speaking of this, Li Bojian took off his glasses again and rubbed the bridge of her nose, but Chen Ziyang could see that Li Bojian secretly wiped away the two tears that flowed from the corners of her eyes by pinching the bridge of her nose.

Although Li Bojian said a lot, Chen Ziyang felt that this information was useless, and what he wanted to know most was who built this mountain villa before, and when it was built.

If the villa was built before Lao Lu and them went to the tomb, then it is very likely that the things in the tomb were stolen by the people who built the villa. And if the time of building the villa was after Lao Lu and his tomb, then in other words, these people were looking for the huge diamond left by Lao Lu in this stolen tomb in the name of building the villa, or something else.

In any case, the people who built the cottage had nothing to do with the theft of this cemetery. And why do so many people with the surname Du come to this villa? Is there something wrong with the people of the Du family, so let's take a look here by the way, or if they have other purposes, the answers to these questions, Chen Ziyang can't judge from Li Bojian's answer.

So Chen Ziyang opened his mouth to break the current silence: "Do you know the information about the original owner of this mountain villa, who built this mountain villa?" And who sold it to your father? I suspect that the people who built this villa before were actually the ones who dug up the tomb, and it is very likely that the fire in the villa had something to do with these people and the tomb. Also, do you know the identities of the guests on the day the villa caught fire? ”

After regaining his composure, Li Bojian shook his head at Chen Ziyang. "I was in college out of town at the time, and by the time I came back, the lodge had been in business for more than a year, so I had no way to answer that question. Moreover, my father has always taken care of the business of the villa, and I never asked, so I don't know the identity information of the guests.

However, this group of guests is very mysterious, it seems that their identities are very secret, so many people have died, and I have not seen the family members of the deceased come to my house to ask for compensation, and later under many searches, there is no clue about the identity of these guests. ”

"Your father should be able to know, or you should ask him?"

Li Bojian showed a wry smile on his face, and said to Chen Ziyang: "I'm afraid my father won't be able to answer your question, even if he knew it before, there is no way to tell you now, come with me, I'll take you to meet my father." ”

Chen Ziyang got into Li Bojian's car, and when he was on the road, he kept thinking about what made Li Bojian take him to see her father, why did he have to go on a trip in person when he could have solved something that could have been solved with a phone call, and what she meant when she said that her father had no way to answer his question.

Originally, Chen Ziyang thought that Li Bojian was going to take him to his father's house, but when the car arrived at its destination, Chen Ziyang looked at the building outside the car window and was stunned. It's not a residential complex, and it's not a single-family house.

Even Chen Ziyang had imagined before that it was very likely that Li Bojian's father was sitting in a remote bungalow because of his family's embarrassment, but Chen Ziyang never thought that the place where Li Bojian drove him to was a psychiatric hospital.

Li Bojian took Chen Ziyang to the reception room with a familiar car, it seems that this woman often comes here. When Chen Ziyang saw Li Bojian's father who walked into the reception room, he understood Li Bojian's intentions, and it turned out that the previous owner of the villa had gone crazy.

Because there was a photo of the owner of the villa in the previous report, and Chen Ziyang had also seen the report many times, he recognized at a glance that the man in front of him was the man in the report, but the current owner of the villa looked a whole circle of weight and his eyes were scattered, obviously a severe psychopath.

Li Bojian didn't talk to Chen Ziyang or her father, but walked directly to her father's side and looked at this and that carefully. Check to see if his father's nails have been cut recently, if his head has been washed, and if he smells his father's body because he hasn't bathed for a long time.

Looking at the busy Li Bojian, Chen Ziyang didn't speak, just watching a filial daughter take care of some trivial things in life for her father, and Li Bojian's father has been listless, he kept his head down there the whole time, didn't say a word, just at the mercy of his daughter.

On the way back, the street lamps on the side of the road flew backwards one by one. Chen Ziyang and Li Bojian sat quietly in the car, Li Bojian concentrated on driving his car, Chen Ziyang looked at the scenery outside the car, and was thinking about the whole thing casually.

Now that the only clue is broken, it seems that his idea of finding the Du family has to be interrupted, so the rest of the matter becomes simple, he only needs to go to the tomb to have a look and do what he can do.

When the private car stopped outside the hotel where Chen Ziyang lived, Li Bojian spoke to Chen Ziyang: "You have seen it, that fire not only changed the life of our whole family, but also harmed my father like this, now what he is most afraid of is to see the flames, I don't dare to use a lighter to light a cigarette in front of him, as long as I see a fire in front of me, even if it is a very small flame, my father will go crazy."

The records of the sale and purchase of the property in the cottage were all in the cottage at the time, and they were burned to ashes by the fire, so now I have no clue to give you, and I have told you everything I know. Now it's time for you to keep your promise, when will you take me to that tomb? I'm going to see if I can find some clues to find the man who made my father like this.

In fact, I have been looking for clues about the fire in the mountain villa for more than ten years, but I have not found anything, and as time goes by, it is even more difficult to find anything. Sometimes I thought to myself, if only this fire was really an accident, maybe my father should have been fated to have this fate, and if that was the case, I wouldn't have to be so tired. ”

"I'll need a few days to prepare, give me your number, and I'll call you when I go." Without saying much, Chen Ziyang got out of Li Bojian's car. The tragic situation of Li Bojian's father that he saw before made Chen Ziyang decide to sincerely help Li Bojian to find the cause of the fire in the villa.

First, this is a transaction between two people, and the main reason is that Chen Ziyang feels that the culprit should not be allowed to go unpunished, even if two people have no way to punish the arsonist, at least they must know the truth.

There are a few things to do to explore the tombs beneath the lodge. The first thing Chen Ziyang did was to rent a small truck, after all, the 1oo meter long oxygen tube and such a large oxygen cylinder had to be transported, and it would not work without such a truck.

After renting the car, Chen Ziyang put the oxygen cylinder he bought in the back bucket of the car, and then found a place to fill the large oxygen cylinder he bought with oxygen.

These cylinders were previously used to administer oxygen to patients in hospitals, but have been phased out in recent years. Most of the hospitals now use pipeline oxygen supply, and there is an oxygen pipeline connected there above each bed, so that when patients need oxygen, they only need to connect the oxygen catheter to it, which is convenient and safe.

So it's really hard to find a place where you can fill this kind of oxygen cylinder. In the end, Chen Ziyang found a device that could fill the oxygen cylinder in a dry welding place.

Because of Li Bojian's joining, Chen Ziyang went to buy a set of gas masks and portable oxygen cylinders. Fortunately, everything else is almost ready, and now there is only one more person, and there is no trouble to come.

On the morning of this day, Chen Ziyang made an appointment with Li Bojian, and after the two gathered, Chen Ziyang drove the rented half-section car to the direction of the villa.

After leaving the city, the car drove west along the provincial highway, and after about half an hour, Chen Ziyang saw a small village on the side of the road. The buildings in this village are very old, the highest is only a three-story building, the others are some bungalows and a few two-story buildings, it seems that this should be the place where the waiter said she lived when she was a child.

After driving through this small village, Chen Ziyang has been paying attention to see if there is the dirt road that the waiter said on the side of the road. Just as he was staring with wide eyes, Li Bojian told Chen Ziyang to turn right along the fork in the road in front of him.

At this time, Chen Ziyang noticed that the dirt road was there, but it was already overgrown with weeds, and if it weren't for Li Bojian's knowledge of the place, it was likely that he would have missed this intersection. This dirt road was already overgrown with weeds, almost blending in with the surrounding environment, and if it weren't for Li Bojian's reminder, he would definitely not have noticed.

The city is located on a plain, and from here you can see a lot of mountains, but the mountains here are not too high. Chen Ziyang paid attention to it, the mountains here are relatively gentle, and the vegetation on the mountains is not very high, which is two completely different styles from the mountains in the northeast.

After rounding a few mountain passes, Li Bojian pointed to a vacant lot in the distance and told Chen Ziyang that it was where the previous mountain villa was located.

This clearing is surrounded by several small hills that are not very high. Because it was far away, Chen Ziyang couldn't see the appearance of the villa clearly, but after he drove the car to the location of the villa, a ruined wall appeared in front of him.
