Chapter 631: His face turned red with anger
"My brother is usually very cautious, and he is very responsive, and his movements are very flexible, and there is no one he is not skilled in all kinds of sports, especially when he climbs a tree like a monkey, and he doesn't believe that he will fall from a tree......"
"Miss, but the branch is broken!"
"That's even more suspicious. My brother was so cautious in what he did, and besides, he was an expert tree climber, and he would never have climbed such a dangerous twig. Besides, with my brother's weight, the branch would not have broken at all. I've watched it several times, that's why I dare to say it with certainty. ”
"Could it be that the branches are eaten by insects?"
"That kind of tree doesn't usually have moths, and there's no evidence that my brother climbed that branch."
"So, Brother Ling may have been killed?"
"Yes. My brother was killed, not by a fall. Xia Xiuxiu said in an unquestionable tone. My brother was killed, and I know who the killer is. ”
"Ahh Murderer...... Will you go to court to testify?"
"Of course, I will definitely testify." She wanted to avenge her lovely brother, and her haggard face turned red with anger, and her eyes were full of bitter hatred.
"Who do you think the murderer is? What evidence is there?" Lang Xiaobai asked again.
Xia Xiuxiu said: "The words have to be mentioned 10 years ago. At that time, my parents were on the verge of bankruptcy due to an incident, so he mortgaged the fief, the house and the ancient pagoda to a big boss who opened a factory in Guanhua, and borrowed 200,000 yuan from him. The agreed period of return is 5 years, and if it is not repaid by then, all the mortgaged property will go to the owner of the factory. ”
"Oh, the owner of that factory is Yang Hanxuan's father, right?"
"Yes."
"Maybe he's been coveting your family's ancient mansion and fief for a long time."
"Yes. He's already jealous of our share of the property. Unexpectedly, in November 4 years ago, my father suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and died.
"Before my father died, he mentioned it to my uncle, who is my father's younger brother, that he would soon be able to repay Yang Hanxuan's debt of 200,000 yuan. In this way, the ownership of the mortgaged fiefdom and dwelling will not belong to someone else.
"At that time, my father was very happy, but he died of an emergency not long after"
"The 200,000 yuan hasn't been repaid yet, has it?"
"Yes. My brother and I were young at the time, and we didn't know where my father had hidden the huge sum of money. A month later, Yang Hanxuan's father took over my family's house and fief on the pretext of paying off the debt.
"After that, my brother and I had to live with my uncle. My uncle lived on the meager rent, but the misfortune was not alone, and soon the uncle also left the West. Not long after, Yang Hanxuan's father also died, and their family property was inherited by the current Yang Hanxuan.
"In this way, my brother and I had to live on each other, relying on my uncle's inheritance, which was the house and the small plot of land nearby, to make ends meet and live in poverty. Whenever we look at the vast land on the other side of the river, the magnificent dwellings and the ancient tower, we can't help but feel sad for a long time.
"That's our ancestral inheritance! But now it has been taken possessed by others...... I don't know how sad I feel in my heart. The younger brother, in particular, was angry that he could not live on the land of his ancestors.
"Such a big piece of land, such a good house, just because I borrowed 200,000 yuan, it was occupied by others. He felt very unwilling.
A few years later, when my younger brother was getting older, he found out the family history of our family, checked some records about our ancestral territory, residence, etc., and talked about masturbation. Finally, one day, he turned to an account book, which was the detailed income and expenditure book of his father for each year before his death, and there was a deposit slip in it. My father has saved 200,000 yuan due to his long-term savings. ”
"Oh, no wonder Ling Zun said that it won't take long to repay Yang Hanxuan's family's debts. It turns out that so much money has been saved. ”
However, the 200,000 yuan has been fully proposed. In order to make sure that nothing went wrong, we went to the bank to check, and learned that my father had gone to the bank to withdraw all the 200,000 yuan a week before his death. The bank also said that at that time, my father took away 200 bills of 1,000 yuan. ”
"Then why didn't Ling Zun use that money to pay off Yang Hanxuan's family's debts?"
"I don't know why."
All in all, Ling Zun did not repay the loan of Yang Hanxuan's family, so he took over all the land and residences. But where will the 200,000 yuan go? Think about it, did Ling Zun hide it somewhere?"
"Yes! Now it's a matter of speculation! ”
"How? Can you think of where the money might be hidden?......"
Xia Xiuxiu was silent for a while, took out an account book from the drawer of the bookcase, and put it in front of Lang Xiaobai and Xiao Bin.
Lang Xiaobai opened the account book, there were 20 pages, and each page was densely packed with numbers.
"I think my father probably hid his money here." Xia Xiuxiu turned to the last page and drew a puzzling figure. It seems to be two circles of different sizes, but they are incomplete, and the great circle is only three-quarters, and the small circle to the right is only one-half, which means that it is two semicircles. In the middle of the semicircle there are four lines, two of which have a pencil drawing of a "ten" in the middle, and later a stroke with an ink pen.
"What is the meaning of this figure?" Lang Xiaobai muttered to himself.
"My brother and I spent a long time analyzing it, but when we learned what the figure meant, my brother was killed."
"So, what do you see this figure representing?"
The younger brother said that this figure was the plan of the ancient tower. The three-quarters of the large circle represents the ancient tower, the connected semicircle is a small tower extending outward from the tower, and the four lines represent the top floor of the tower, which is used to set up guns in order to defend against the enemy. Later, after our on-the-spot observation, we found that this was the case with the ancient pagoda. ”
"I guess so!"
"By the way, maybe Ling Zun died suddenly due to a cerebral hemorrhage, and I didn't have a chance to tell you about hiding money."
"So, now let's go and say hello to Yang Hanxuan, and then go up to the tower to search and search, don't you know. Have you ever looked it up?"
"We told Yang Hanxuan. However, Yang Hanxuan didn't let us go up, because we and Yang Hanxuan's family were very embarrassed because of the incident in the previous generation. Besides, the inside of the tower is precarious, and the stairs are in disrepair, so there is no way to climb to the top floor.
"So, can you climb up from outside the tower?"
"The ancient tower is more than 30 meters high, I'm afraid you can't do it with a ladder." Xia Xiuxiu said dejectedly.
"We tried all sorts of things, but to no avail. In the end, I had to dispel this idea, but my brother was unwilling to die.
