Deyou Street, Nanluo Lane, Song House

Yue Guanchao and Lu Fengjian got out of the rickshaw, and they saw the Song Mansion compound in front of them from a distance, the tall courtyard wall was rammed earth and bricks, the eaves of the corner pavilion were looming, and occasionally dense branches and leaves stretched out of the courtyard, swaying out of the noisy cicadas in the summer.

Before they knocked on the door, the door of the copper button opened with a bang, and an old man in a horse coat wearing a melon hat came out from inside: "Hello you two~ It's Mr. Yue and Mr. Lu, Miss has already greeted us, you come with me." ”

As they spoke, they walked through the verandah of the shadow wall, skipped a few courtyards, and came to the east chamber of the north courtyard.

Yue Guanchao looked over from the round arch, Song Siyuan had her hair scattered, and she was sitting under the eaves of the porch in a silk gauze skirt to bask in the sun.

"Miss, your friend brought it."

Song Bo leaned over and slapped a thousand children, and quietly withdrew from the east courtyard.

Song Siyuan called them into the study: "Feng Jian, you said on the phone that you have something important to tell me, what difficulties did you encounter?" ”

"Actually, I'm the one who wants your help!" Yue Guanchao stepped forward first, Song Siyuan seemed to have guessed that it was him, and his face was not the slightest surprised: "Expected!" ”

"Do you know Witch Coffin?"

Asking for help, it is natural to be open and honest, Yue Guanchao asked the name of this place without concealment.

"Hmm...... I don't know, I just came back from studying in England a few years ago, and I've only lived in Mukden for three years, so I don't seem to have heard of Wuxian Town. ”

Song Siyuan raised her arms and continued to ask: "What is Witch Coffin Town doing?" Sounds like some hidden tribe. ”

Yue Guanchao recalled the situation he had found, put away his cynical face, and straightened his attitude: "Miss Song, I don't know much about this village, but my second uncle was a bandit twenty-five years ago, when he went to Wucoffin Town with the big boss to steal treasures, but he didn't think that hundreds of people died, only he escaped with me, and recently those bandits came to the door again, they want us to find the treasure that hasn't been shipped out that year, if we don't agree, then my brother's life will be gone." ”

"I thought in my heart, the second uncle is old, and I want to do it for him."

"So, you want to inquire about the details before you go, so that you can take precautions in advance."

Song Siyuan listened to him talk about the cause and effect, and immediately understood Yue Guanchao's intentions, she thought for a moment, and wrote many doubts on the plain white letterhead: Twenty-five years ago, Witch Coffin Town, bandits and treasure theft, and the annihilation of the whole army.

Song Siyuan then picked up the phone, fiddled with the roulette wheel with her jade hand, and said into the earpiece: "Help me check the news of Witch Coffin Town, pay special attention to ......"

She hung up the phone for only an hour, and Uncle Song led another person to the study, Yue Guanchao still had an impression of him, that is, the "Secretary Song" who helped him get out of trouble in the morning!

Seeing that they were relatively unfamiliar with each other, Song Siyuan introduced to the two: "A brief introduction, he is the chief inspector of the police bureau, Song Qingyang, and at the same time my cousin, belonging to the same sect, and the other Mr. Lu, who is my high school classmate, as for this Mr. Yue, he is a friend of the two of us." ”

Song Qingyang nodded slightly, took out the brown and yellow file bag from the briefcase, and told the investigation situation: "Sister, I have checked the witch coffin town you asked me to check, but unfortunately there is only this place name, but the file is blank?" ”

These words poured a basin of cold water on everyone!

A chill suddenly rose on Yue Guanchao's back, in the village that existed in history, someone actually deliberately destroyed its historical materials, if it wasn't that the second uncle remembered it wrongly, it meant that someone didn't want the world to know the secret of Witch Coffin Town!

"It's impossible, who would destroy the information of a little-known small village!"

Song Siyuan didn't believe in evil, so she took the file bag and browsed carefully, except for the three words of Wu Coffin Town, there was no record on the file.

She rubbed the file bag, kept chewing on the current situation, and immediately had a new idea: "There is indeed something strange, we can't find clues, maybe we can think differently, I believe that the wild goose has left traces, as long as what happened will be recorded, and the destruction of the file shows that this village was recorded in the past." ”

She paced back and forth behind her desk, her thoughts churning in her mind, and she casually looked at the desk calendar.

Song Siyuan had an idea, suddenly stopped, picked up the calendar and looked at everyone: "Twenty-five years ago happened to be 1900, coinciding with the Year of the Rat, there is a saying among the people that Gengzi is in trouble, and all natural disasters and disasters will be paid special attention. ”

Yue Guanchao instantly understood the hint in her words: "We can check all the newspapers that have been printed in Northeast China in 1900, and we can always find something." ”

This clue gave them new hope when they had no clue.

Song Qingyang wanted to speak and stopped, but Song Siyuan saw what he meant: "You are the secretary of the general patrol, it shouldn't be very difficult for you to check a newspaper!" ”
