The woman's name was Zhao Yanxia, and she came for her husband. Her husband's surname was Kong, and his name was Kong Shuangquan. In the early years of his life, he had spent several years in prison for causing trouble. After learning some skills in building and repairing houses, he came out to work with a few people he knew in the prison on the demolition and renovation of his old house. "After working like a torrential storm for almost a decade, he had amassed over a million properties. At least he had a bit of a reputation in the circle.
About half a month ago, a person surnamed Shi came to find Kong Shuangquan, saying that there was an old village in the foreign land that needed to be renovated and asked to work with him. Kong Shuangquan agreed without a second word. After two or three days, he drove after the man surnamed Shi. However, after he had left, there were no more movements.
It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that Zhao Yanxia received the call from Kong Shuangquan, but the phone was extremely noisy, and it was only with great difficulty that she could barely make out the two words "Baxian Hotel". Thus, in a panic, he had sent people to look everywhere for the Baxian Hotel and only came here tonight. In the end, another incident occurred, making both sides unhappy.
"Did you call the police?" I asked Zhao Yanxia.
"No. After receiving the call, I immediately sent someone to look for Baxian Hotel. " As she spoke, Zhao Yanxia took out her cell phone and set it to recording mode before handing it to me.
I put my phone to my ear. There was a humming sound on the phone, as though I was talking on the wind. After about 10 seconds, a person who seemed to be breathing heavily said, "Eight …" Immortal … Rice... "Shop..."
The sound was extremely weak and ethereal, and in the background, it sounded especially eerie and terrifying.
I listened a few times before returning the phone to Zhao Yanxia. Under her anxious gaze, I pondered for a moment before replying, "We can take this job. Ten thousand, one day. "
"Are you out of your mind?" The baldhead be In a hurry
I stared at the baldy's eyes and said word by word, "The recording isn't of the wind, but of ghosts' panting."
Two days later, Hamborg, Taoist Qiu, Mao Babao and I got on the business car parked at the entrance, and headed towards Kong Shuangquan's missing town.
Mao Babao came over with a surprise, he and Old Taoist Qiu have always been at loggerheads, as long as the two of them sat together, there would definitely be a lot of arguments between them. However, one of his words made me agree to bring him along.
When I decided to leave, Mao Babao whispered into my ear, "The family surnamed Liu that died in the Guo Family Shop, it was that town that came out."
The one in charge of driving the car was the bald guy from that night. His name was Zhao Hai, Zhao Yanxia's younger brother. Since the last time we were beaten up by the Miss Kong, we were convinced in our hearts. Adding on the fact that we came to save his brother-in-law, we were quite courteous at this moment, and furthermore, he had always been by Kong Shuangquan's side, so he was quite knowledgeable about Kong Shuangquan's situation.
I asked Zhao Hai, "Why did your brother-in-law have to take such a long job? No one in the area can do that? "
Zhao Hai shook his head: "I don't know the local situation. My brother-in-law said that it was indeed not easy to do the work and most people would not be able to do it.
I smiled, "It seems that your brother-in-law is quite confident in his cooking skills."
Zhao Hai said with a face full of shame, "Aiya, my brother-in-law did not go to prison for nothing, he truly learned craftsmanship. After coming out, he had a wide range of connections in the society. In addition to his excellent craftsmanship, he was well-known in the outside world. "
"Then do you think it's possible that the people in the society that took revenge on his accident? Or is he jealous of your brother-in-law's business? "
Zhao Hai thought for a while, "My brother-in-law does have the job of demolishing the house, it's impossible to not offend people. But it should only be a business matter, no matter what, it shouldn't cause his life to get involved."
"Then do you know what this is about?" I saw that he was getting more and more familiar with the situation, so I asked more and more questions. Once Hamborg and Mao Babao got on the carriage, they immediately fell asleep. Old Taoist Qiu closed his eyes and rested, occasionally glancing outside the window, it was unknown as to what he was thinking.
Zhao Hai's expression became much more solemn. "I'm not too sure either, my brother-in-law is acting very mysterious this time, and there are some things behind my sister and I's back. However, that Shi fella is quite reliable. He has recommended quite a few jobs to my brother-in-law, so he can be considered to be at ease. "
"Tell me about this Shi guy?"
"He is my brother-in-law's friend in prison, he is younger than my brother-in-law by a few years, whatever he wants is nothing. Of course, my brother-in-law didn't do it for nothing. "
As a result, they didn't speak again all the way until they reached a place called Twin Willows. Shuangliu Group was located at the foot of the Tsui Hua Mountain, and the town of Sophora Flourishing Mountain was on the other side. It was too dangerous to drive so they could only rest here for the night and continue their journey the next day.
When I found a hotel to sleep in, I asked the owner about the town of Sophora on the pretext of being a photographer. The owner didn't say anything strange about the town, but he reminded me that although it was called a town, it wasn't too big. In fact, it was only the size of a village, and because of this, there was a huge tree in the middle of the town.
"Strange?" "How strange is it?" Hamborg asked curiously.
The owner scratched his head, "I just feel like they don't like to talk to people, so they always do things in secret." "Anyways, if you guys are going to do any photography work, you should pay more attention to it. After all, they are the ones who are doing it."
At this moment, the sound of thunder came from afar, as if it was going to rain. Seeing how Zhao Hai and I were so worried, the owner smiled and said, "It's always like this here. It doesn't rain, but there have been a lot of thunder recently. Rest assured, I will definitely not disturb you guys from entering the mountain tomorrow. "
After listening to the thunder for the whole night, the next morning was still as bright as the sun. There was not even a single cloud that looked like it was about to rain. However, in such a fine weather, our plan to enter the mountain was delayed midway.
After driving along the mountain road for two hours, the road was completely blocked. He got off the car and asked around. There was a case in front, and the police were dealing with it on the spot, so no one could move.
"What happened? A car accident? " Hamborg was familiar with everyone, and in the time it took to smoke a cigarette, he started to chat with the driver of the truck.
The little driver was probably interested in the foreigners with Shandong accent, so he just said, "It's not a car accident, we even have a car in front. I asked him, he said that there were two bodies which were burned to death, but there were no traces of fires on the road. The police suspect that it was pushed down from the mountain after burning down, they might be looking for clues."
About two hours later, the caravan began to move slowly with the whistling sound. They drove on the narrow road between the cliff and the mountain face, one after another. After driving for more than 10 minutes, I finally saw the so-called 'scene'.
There were only two police cars at the scene. One in front and one behind, they were parked by the mountain wall, protecting the two bodies that were parked between the two cars, waiting for the ambulance that was stuck at the foot of the mountain. From the charred and shriveled skin, it was easy to tell that the corpse was burnt, but it was just as the little driver said, there were no traces of blackening by the fire.
"Fourth Boss, do you think those two were unlucky enough to be killed by the thunder last night?" Hamborg cheerfully asked me.
Just as I was about to answer, Old Taoist Qiu opened his eyes and coldly replied, "It's not bad luck, it's well-deserved. Both of them were struck to death by divine lightning. "
