The two drove to the "Xinhu City" parking lot, the time was just past eight o'clock, there was still half an hour before the start of work, the other employees had not yet arrived, the entire parking lot was empty, only Wei Shangxing's SUV.

Jiang Yanan parked the car, turned his head to look at Wei Shangxing, who was sitting in the back row, and said: "Otherwise, you should not go, the mountains are full of vegetation, and Tibetans are easy to find people. ”

Wei Shangxing smiled "haha" and said, "You don't say anything encouraging when you go into battle?" How good you said in the guest room just now, it's just a little thief, and now we meet him, let's take him down. ”

Jiang Yanan said solemnly: "I'm worried about you, I'm afraid that you will have something wrong, how can I explain to your family." ”

Wei Shangxing smiled "hehe" and said: "You say this, I really can't go, I am the only male in the family, and I haven't left a queen so far." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Yanan in a daze.

Jiang Yanan looked at his indecent face, was amused and laughed, and said: "Do you hate it, you don't cherish the opportunity you give you, and blame others for running away!" ”

Wei Shangxing smiled "haha" and said, "Okay, okay, no kidding, get ready, let's go up the mountain." ”

Jiang Yanan said: "Okay, I'll tell you some of the information we have." I went to Luo Jiaming's office the day before yesterday, cracked the password of his laptop, and copied out the documents inside, and I handed over these materials to the city bureau the night before yesterday. But there is a strange document, which is a photograph of an old Japanese stronghold, on which it is indicated that in the lower part of the stronghold is a bunker. The city bureau suspects that this map is the structural map of the Japanese stronghold on Cuiping Mountain before, and that bunker may have been transformed and used by Luo Jiaming's gang, and the security guard is likely to be hidden inside. ”

Wei Shangxing listened to Jiang Yanan's words, thought for a while, and asked: "Since you have Tuna in your hand, why don't you send more people up, just go in and search it." ”

Jiang Yanan smiled "hehe" and said: "The city bureau is worried about startling the snakes, they are near here now, just ask me to go up and investigate, if you find the traces of that person, just send them a message, they can arrive in two minutes." However, the former stronghold was demolished after the surrender in 1945, and the local people spontaneously donated money to build a 'Guandi Temple' on the stronghold in order to shake the evil spirit of the Japanese devils, and the entrance to the bunker was impossible to find. ”

Wei Shangxing looked at Jiang Yanan's eyes and said, "Then what did you mean by not letting me go up just now, teasing me?" ”

Jiang Yanan smiled "hehe" and said, "You must be worried about worrying, but I also want to try your guts!" ”

Wei Shangxing smiled "haha", opened the car door and got out of the car, walked out of the parking lot, and walked slowly along the uphill trail to the north.

The two walked about 400 meters along the mountain trail to the boundary of "Xinhu City", there is a sentry box at the border, the security guard in the sentry box is about sixty years old, is moving on the side of the sentry box, seeing Wei and Jiang two people come over, they greeted from a distance and said: "Mr. Wei, Assistant Li, you are so early!" ”

Wei Shangxing replied: "You're early, too." What do you call it? Assistant Jiang and I came to the early meeting today, and we just took advantage of this time to go to the mountain and find a higher position to see the topography of our 'Xinhu City'. ”

The security guard said, "My surname is Yang, and everyone calls me Lao Yang." The Yang Chenggang you saved that day was my nephew. ”

Wei Shangxing said: "It turned out to be Yang Chenggang's uncle, Yang Chenggang is a good person, and he is a warm-hearted person. Lao Yang, are you a full-time security guard at this sentry box? ”

Security guard Lao Yang was very happy when he heard Wei Shangxing praise his nephew, "Hehe" smiled and said, "Yes, yes." Our 'Cuiping Mountain' is lush with trees, the scenery is good all year round, and many people in the city like to come to climb the mountain and take pictures. Mr. Hu was worried that some people would not pay attention to littering cigarette butts or something, so as not to cause a fire, just four years ago, before the construction of the 'Xinhu City' project started, this sentry box was set up. In addition to controlling the personnel going up the mountain, the focus of our post is on fire prevention. ”

Wei Shangxing asked suspiciously: "Hasn't the company only taken this land for more than three years?" How did this sentry box set up four years ago? ”

Security guard Lao Yang pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "Have you seen these trees along the foot of the mountain?" ”

Wei Shangxing nodded, and looked over with the direction of the security guard Lao Yang, but saw that along the foot of the mountain was a long camphor forest, all the way to the edge of the second phase of the land, and from the camphor forest to the mountain, there were some native tree species such as elm and locust trees.

Security guard Lao Yang continued: "Our Lao Hu is always a good person, he is our local, a few years ago after the business became bigger, he wanted to develop our 'Cuiping Mountain', five or six years ago signed a contract with the government, to plant trees, improve the ecological environment." Later, he paid for the land of 'Xinhu City'. ”

Wei Shangxing saw that this security guard Lao Yang was very talkative, and continued to chat for fear of delaying time, so he said with a smile: "Master Lao Yang knows the situation of our 'Xinhu City' very well, I will talk to you another day, and Assistant Jiang and I will go up and go around first." ”

Security guard Lao Yang said: "Okay, good, good, then you should go up and go around first, but you had better not go to the 'Guandi Temple' on the top of the mountain." He gestured in the direction of the top of the mountain.

Originally, Wei Shangxing and Jiang Yanan were about to leave, but hearing what the security guard Lao Yang said, Wei Shangxing couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why can't you go to the 'Guandi Temple' on the top of the mountain?" ”

Security guard Lao Yang said: "It's too much, I'm afraid it will affect your mood, you just don't go to Guandi Temple." ”

Wei Shangxing thought to himself that maybe the security guard Lao Yang knew something, and it would be better for him and Jiang Yanan to know more about it when they went up for the first time. He took out a stainless steel cigarette case from the pocket of his suit jacket, opened it, took out a cigarette from it, and handed it to the security guard Lao Yang.

The security guard Lao Yang excused himself, took it, took out a lighter from his trouser pocket, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and praised: "It's really a good cigarette!" Mr. Wei, I'm afraid your cigarette is much more expensive than soft China, right? ”

Wei Shangxing took out a cigarette from the steel cigarette box, put it in his mouth, and was about to take out the lighter, when the security guard Lao Yang saw this, he hurriedly took out his lighter and "clicked", lit the fire, and sent the flame to Wei Shangxing's cigarette, and Wei Shangxing lit the cigarette.

Wei Shangxing smoked a cigarette and said, "My cigarette is similar to soft China, I can smoke it." If you like to come back, I'll send you two packs to try. ”

Security guard Lao Yang said: "I can't ask for your cigarettes, you are righteous and generous, I can't do things without rules." I met my eldest brother yesterday, it was Yang Zhigao's father, my eldest brother said, you are a good person, let us follow you to do a good job, we can't hold you back. ”

Wei Shangxing smiled "haha" and said, "Then I thank you in advance." By the way, you just said that you can't go to the 'Guandi Temple' on the top of the mountain, what's going on? ”

Security guard Lao Yang said: "Since you asked, I can't hide it from you, if it were an ordinary person, I would never talk about it." But it's a bit long, I'm afraid it will delay your time. ”

Wei Shangxing said: "It's okay, my main job recently is to understand all aspects of the project, the more I know, the more conducive it is to help the project get out of trouble as soon as possible." ”

Security guard Lao Yang said: "Mr. Hu is a good person, he has built hundreds of villas and can't sell them, it's a pity that the project is so difficult now!" Then I'll start talking, I don't have any culture, if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive Mr. Wei. ”

Wei Shangxing nodded, and the security guard Lao Yang took a puff of cigarette and continued: "I heard the old people in the village say that around 1940, the Japanese occupied Xinzhou City and built a stronghold on our 'Cuiping Mountain' mountain, stationed more than 100 devils. Until the Japanese devils surrendered in 1945, the devils of this stronghold also surrendered to the Kuomintang army, at that time this was still a national control area, but a few days after the surrender, suddenly a fire broke out in the stronghold one night, and all of these more than 100 devils were burned to death. At that time, the common people were happy, saying that these Japanese devils had suffered retribution and deserved to be burned to death. The local people, worried that this place was too bad and not peaceful, so they donated money to build a 'Guandi Temple' on the stronghold to suppress these devils. At that time, the ancestor of Mr. Hu's family was the largest landlord in several villages around us, and his family donated the most. Since the construction of this 'Guandi Temple', we have been relatively safe, and there has been no incident. Our locals know more or less about the past, and no one goes there unless there are special circumstances. If you two want to go up and have a look, it's best to avoid the 'Guandi Temple' on the top of the mountain." ”

After the security guard Lao Yang finished speaking, Wei Shangxing handed him another cigarette and asked puzzledly: "How could these more than 100 devils suddenly be burned to death?" ”

The security guard Lao Yang took the cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and said: "No one has made it clear what the specific situation is, whatever, those Japanese don't have a good thing, they deserve to die." ”

Wei Shangxing muttered in his heart, feeling that these more than 100 devils died very strangely, he didn't believe in the gods and ghosts, what was the specific reason for his death, presumably this Lao Yang couldn't figure it out, and there was no need to continue to ask him, Talking about this Wei Shangxing Seeing that the time was almost up, he said goodbye to the security guard Lao Yang, and walked side by side with Jiang Yanan to the top of the mountain "Guandi Temple".

"Cuiping Mountain" is nearly 100 meters shorter than "Qishan", neither high nor big, and the mountain is not steep.

Wei Shangxing was still thinking about the more than 100 devils being burned to death, which was very abnormal, so he asked: "Assistant Jiang, the cause of death of the more than 100 devils is a bit strange, even if it accidentally caught fire at night, but after all, these people are Japanese soldiers, and it is impossible for them to all be burned to death?" Have you looked into this? ”

Jiang Yanan said: "I really checked, when we were having dinner at Yang Chenggang's house that day, his father mentioned this Japanese stronghold, and I was thinking about the things here, like the things that the security guard Lao Yang said just now, most of our locals in Xinzhou also know." The day before yesterday afternoon, you went to the 'Xinzhou Reservoir' embankment for a run, and I was not idle, I went to the 'Xinzhou University' to visit Professor Ma, an authoritative scholar of local history, who is in his eighties and has been retired for many years. He was very enthusiastic, and he heard me say that he came to investigate the case, and the old man did not reserve it and told me all the information he had found over the years. ”

Jiang Yanan said that this was a good thing, just walked with his head bored, and then stopped talking, Wei Shangxing waited with his ears for a while, and then guessed her careful thoughts, and said: "You are so sad that you have hung my curiosity!" Just tell me about it. ”

Jiang Yanan smiled "hehe" and said, "I will also let you taste the taste of being hung by someone." ”

Wei Shangxing smiled awkwardly, Jiang Yanan saw that he had arrived, so he turned around and pointed to Xinbei Avenue not far from the mountain, and said, "Have you seen this Xinbei Avenue?" During the Anti-Japanese War, this road was called the 'Wuzheng Highway', which connected Wuhan, an important town of the Yangtze River in the south, and Zhengzhou, the center of the Yellow River in the north, which was very important at that time. The Japanese also know very well, in order to control this 'Wuzheng Highway' only built a stronghold on this mountain, stationed more than 100 people, according to Professor Wu, the Japanese commander of this stronghold at that time was a Japanese named Cai Shengichiro, this person is a Chinese expert, speaks fluent Chinese, this person is very shrewd, during the period of serving as the commander of the stronghold, from Xinzhou to loot a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, among which there is a special cultural relic - the Qing Dynasty Shunzhi Emperor gave the traitor Wu Sangui Antler gold chair', this chair is made of antlers and gold, because the antlers are pure white, and it is the big traitor Wu Sangui used things, the folk call it 'white chair'. According to the official records of the Republic of China, this Cai Shengichiro also died in the fire, and the looted property is nowhere to be found. Professor Ma said that in 2000, he saw a photo of a huge rich man surnamed Cai in a certain country in Southeast Asia, and he felt very similar to this Cai Shengichiro. Professor Ma speculated that the fire at that time may have been deliberately set on fire by Cai Shengichiro in order to hide himself and the looted wealth, and then he himself ran out of China through some doorways. ”

After Jiang Yanan finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain, and said, "Regarding the cause of death of those Japanese, I have this information here. ”

Wei Shangxing heard Jiang Yanan talk about Cai Shengichiro, and he felt a chill in his heart, and said: "This Cai Shengichiro is really a devil among devils, I'm afraid that this person will die to the king of Hades, and the king of Hades will not dare to accept it, this person is too ruthless!" Then is this Luo Jiaming here also related to that Cai Shengichiro. ”

Jiang Yanan said: "I don't know if they are related yet, and when Luo Jiaming wakes up, these mysteries will be solved." ”
