Chapter 7 Chapter VII

Su An yelled, turned around, looked extremely happy, and waved her hands.The fire chief and two firefighters had already entered the small stone house, and Su An followed in, coughing and saying, "So there's no one in the house!" The fire chief turned his head and stared at Su An with very stern eyes.Su An thought the captain was blaming him and lied about two people in the small stone house, so he got angry with him, he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry, I thought they were in the house!" Hearing what Su An said, the fire chief didn't know whether to laugh or cry.He sighed, pointed to a corner of the stone house, and said, "Look for yourself."

For a moment, Su An didn't know what the captain told him to look at, because there was nothing in the corner the captain pointed to.Only on the ground, there is a little scorched black thing, and I can't tell what it is. However, when he took a closer look, he suddenly shivered twice! What the fire chief was referring to was not the ground, but the wall at the corner.The wall in the stone house was almost blackened by the smoke, but on the corner of the wall, there was a trace of two people's bodies, which was lighter in black and formed the shape of a shadow!It looks so weird and terrifying, it makes people's hair stand on end!

Su An's body trembled, and his voice trembled: "This... this... sir, what is this?" The captain sighed again: "When they were burned to death, their bodies were close to this corner of the wall, so they left such marks on the wall!" Su An only felt that his throat was dry, and he had to work very hard to continue speaking: "Then... where are their corpses?" Pointing to the charred objects on the ground, the team leader said, "The corpses? I think these are their remains!" Su An's body was shaking, his eyes were dark, and he almost passed out.He struggled and said, "Two people...how could...there is only...a little bit left?"

The fire chief's voice was very calm, completely opposite to Su An's shock, which may be due to his professional calmness.He said: "The burning temperature is too high. Every part of the human body is burnt to ashes. Even the bones that are the most difficult to burn into ashes will turn into ashes under high temperature. When the water was injected just now, Maybe part of it has been washed away, but there is still some left, which is already very good!" Su An couldn't hold it any longer, he groaned, his legs softened, and he fell to the ground with a "gudong"!

Su Yaoxi's voice was also a little trembling: "Mr. Sheng and Mrs....really burned to death...in that small stone house?" Su An said bitterly: "Of course! Well, I was so sad and sad at that time, I really didn't know what to do. But because Mr. Sheng entrusted me with full authority to handle all his property through legal procedures, the police station People still suspect that I murdered them, which is really unreasonable! There is no way to sue for injustice, let the **** fart, if you think this way, you are not human!" The more Su An talked, the more excited he became, and suddenly, he began to curse.After cursing for a while, he panted and said, "Fortunately, I found out later that I was sleeping when the fire started. Oh, I really don't understand. Even if Mr. and Mrs. Sheng wanted to commit suicide, they didn't have to use this method to burn themselves. Turned into ashes!"

Yuan Zhenxia has been thinking about it. He always feels that Su An's narration cannot be a lie.But it's too weird, there must be a key problem, but it just can't be caught! Su An continued: "There are only a few bones left between the two of them, so I had to pack them up, put them in a gold box, and bury them next to Miss Xiaobao's grave, alas, alas!" Amidst Su An's repeated sighs, Yuan Zhenxia suddenly asked: "Mr. Su, there should be something left in the small stone house!" Su An stared at Yuan Zhenxia with tears in his eyes.Yuan Zhenxia gestured: "There are also the seven male skeletons, the seven female skeletons, the owl and so on. You gave it to Mr. Sheng."

Su An let out a long sigh: "Think about it, there is nothing left of even two living people, and the other things have already turned to ashes! Look at my palm, it was just a light touch on the door. After a while, it took a full month to recover, and now there is still a big scar!" As Su An said, she stretched out her hand and spread her palm.Sure enough, on his palm, there was a big and ugly scar. Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly, Su An's words made sense, even two living people were turned into ashes, so what's left? It was also the first time for the Su brothers. Hearing their father talk about this matter, they looked at each other. Su Yaoxi said: "Dad, is the small stone house locked? Where is the key? We want to go and see it!" "

Yuan Zhenxia also had the same meaning.While shaking her head and sighing, Su An opened a drawer, took out a box, opened the box again, and then, solemnly, took out a key, saying: "You guys go, I... really don't want to go in there again Go to the small stone house!" Su Yaoxi took the key, and the three of them left Su An's bedroom together.When they left, Su An sat dazed, with a wrinkled face, a look of misery.The series of weird events that happened that year have always been a mystery in his heart. Over the years, he has urged his three sons to faithfully carry out Sheng Yuantian's will, but the mystery in his heart has never been solved.He knew that in terms of his own intelligence, he couldn't solve this mystery. Could others be able to solve it?After solving the mystery, is it good or bad for Mr. Sheng?Feeling confused in Su An's heart, she couldn't help but let out another long sigh.

Yuan Zhenxia and the Su brothers, walking in the corridor, could still hear Su An's sigh coming from the room. They didn't make a sound until they left the house and walked into the garden, Su Yaoxi said: "Mr. Sheng is so mysterious!" Yuan Zhenxia said: "Don't you think the adjective 'mysterious' is not enough to describe Sheng Yuantian? He is simply...simply...mysterious and monstrous. He lives in that way and commits suicide in that way. This matter can be deduced with common sense!" Su Yaodong said slowly: "Abba is right, there must be something extremely painful in Mr. Sheng's heart!"

Yuan Zhenxia snorted: "Including the fact that he strangled his daughter to death with a rope, was it also because of the pain in his heart?" In the hearts of the Su brothers, there was a sense of respect for Sheng Yuantian. Yuan Zhenxia's words made them feel very unhappy. Su Yaoxi hurriedly said: "That's just my father's suspicion!" Yuan Zhenxia said honestly and bluntly: "Don't deceive yourself, according to the narrative, if you were the ones who experienced it at that time, what kind of conclusions would you draw?" The Su brothers were silent and unable to answer.As they talked, they were walking forward, and they were almost approaching the small stone house.

The garden was huge, and the surroundings were dark and quiet. It was already very gloomy, but when approaching the small stone house, the gloomy feeling became more and more serious.Involuntarily, the three of them slowed down and looked at each other. Yuan Zhenxia said: "Take a look, there will be nothing!" The Su brothers smiled wryly, summoned up their courage, and came to the small stone house. Su Yaoxi opened the lock and pushed the door.Because of the rust, when the iron door was pushed open, it made an extremely unpleasant "squeak" sound that made the hairs stand on end and the gums were sour. As soon as the iron door was pushed open, there seemed to be a scorched smell lingering in the small stone house. The three of them, after listening to Su An's narration just now, all wanted to come here to have a look.But because Su An's narration was so terrifying, they were all in a trance. They all forgot to bring lighting tools, and they didn't find out until then. Fortunately, there was an ever-burning lamp installed by Su An after the incident in the small stone house. It was an electric lamp with only about ten candlepower.In the dim, almost yellow light, it looked more uncomfortable than pitch black. As soon as they entered the small stone house, they saw a light-colored figure on the wall at a corner, which was really shocking. Su Yaoxi turned around first, unwilling to look again, Yuan Zhenxia wanted to take a deep breath, but felt a strong suffocation! The small stone house was empty, there was really nothing to see.Moreover, being in the small stone house, the uncomfortable feeling made people have goosebumps all over their bodies, and they felt a strong feeling of wanting to vomit. The three of them coincidentally retreated hastily before letting out a sigh of relief.Yuan Zhenxia asked: "In Sheng Yuantian's will, there is no mention at all, why does he live in such a secretive way?" The Su brothers sighed: "No." Yuan Zhenxia said with a wry smile: "If...Gu Tuo is a person whom Sheng Yuantian... cares about so much, and Sheng Yuantian wants him to come to the library, and he has the right to read books from No. 1 to No. 100, then, I think there may be key records in this part of the collection!" Su Yaoxi said "hmm": "It's very possible!" Yuan Zhenxia raised his voice: "Then what are we waiting for, go to the library immediately to see those books!" When the Su brothers heard Yuan Zhenxia's proposal, neither of them made a sound.Yuan Zhenxia asked in surprise, "Why, is there something wrong with my proposal?" Su Yaodong said bluntly: "Yes! Only those who hold the VIP card have the right to see those books, we can't read them privately!" Yuan Zhenxia admired their loyalty very much, and he asked, "Is it okay to make a stop?" Su Yaoxi immediately said: "Of course not!" Yuan Zhenxia snorted, and said a little bit to ridicule himself: "I would like to know how many VIP cards are there from Xiaobao's library?" Su Yaoxi's expression was a little helpless: "To tell you the truth, there is only one, and the number one is number one!" This answer was beyond Yuan Zhenxia's expectation. He said, "Then, that is to say, Gutuo is the only person who can read which part of the collection?" The Su brothers nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.Yuan Zhenxia spread his hands: "Then do everything possible to find Gu Tuo, I hope you will notify me after you find him!" The Su brothers fully agreed, and they first sent Yuan Zhenxia to the car, then turned back to the garden.On the way home, Yuan Zhenxia was still in a trance. Several times, he had to force himself to concentrate before continuing to drive. Gu Tuo was weird enough, but Sheng Yuantian seemed even weirder!What is the relationship between these two weird people?Judging from their age, they can never be friends or brothers, there is only one possibility, they are father and son!But if Gu Tuo was Sheng Yuantian's son, why did he grow up in an orphanage? Yuan Zhenxia's heart was full of doubts.After returning home, he took a hot bath, but couldn't get a good night's sleep either. He had a mess of strange dreams all night, and even dreamed that there were seven owls, each with a skeleton in their mouth, flying around! The next day, when he woke up, he thought of one thing: the strange things that Sheng Yuantian did before he died, looked like some kind of sorcerer's ritual, was it related to witchcraft? Yuan Zhenxia felt dizzy. After arriving at the hospital, even his colleagues saw that he could not concentrate and advised him to take a rest for a day.Yuan Zhenxia didn't take a break and forced himself to concentrate on his work.In the afternoon, he received a call from Su Yaodong: "Doctor Yuan, we found Mr. Gutuo!" Yuan Zhenxia cheered up: "How is he?" Su Yaodong said: "His condition is very bad. Doctor Yuan, is there any way to wake up a person who has been drinking strong alcohol for three days?" Yuan Zhenxia was startled, and immediately understood: "Is he drunk?" Gu Tuo's mental pain was very painful. He drank heavily and injected drugs, all in order to anesthetize himself, which Yuan Zhenxia already knew. Su Yaodong let out a long sigh: "You'd better hurry up and bring some medicine that can sober you up. He's in the Black Cat Bar, and the address is—" In fact, there is no medicine that can eliminate the alcohol in the blood, but there is always Some drugs can cheer you up.So Yuan Zhenxia found some suitable medicines, sued the hospital for leave, and drove to the Black Cat Bar. The Black Cat Bar is a medium-sized bar, Yuan Zhenxia was shocked when he opened the door and entered.I saw that the bar was full of people lying in disorder, and all of them were almost naked.There are not many men, and there are at least seventeen or eight women, most of whom are young and fit, and may have heavy makeup on their faces, but at this moment, it seems that every woman's face looks upside down Like a shelf of oil paint, some people hugged into a ball, some huddled in a corner, reeking of alcohol. A fat woman was talking to Su Yaodong.As soon as Su Yaodong saw Yuan Zhenxia coming in, he rushed up to greet him, pointed at the fat woman and said, "This is the lady boss, lady boss, tell Dr. Yuan about the situation." The fat woman blinked and said, "This gentleman came three days ago. At that time, we were already closing soon—" she said, pointing to a corner.Yuan Zhenxia looked in the direction she pointed, and saw Gu Tuo lying on the ground with his upper body bare and trousers on.Beside him, there are two bar girls, and another bar girl is pillowed on his stomach, it seems that he is so drunk that he is unconscious. Yuan Zhenxia stepped over the people lying on the ground, came to Gutuo's side, and pushed away the girl next to him. Su Yaodong also followed, and the two of them worked together to pull Gutuo up from the ground and put him on the chair.But the body of a drunk person seems to be very heavy, especially at this time, Gu Tuo is so drunk, it seems that the bones of the whole body can no longer support his body. The two of them tried their best to get him onto a small sofa.Although the Gutuo man was sitting, his head was tilted to one side in a terrifying posture, his mouth was drooling, and his face was terribly frightening. Su Yaodong said in amazement: "Has anyone died of drunkenness?" Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly: "You can't die if you're drunk, but in his current state, accidents can happen at any time. The most likely accident is a broken neck bone, so he must die!" Su Yaodong wanted to straighten Gu Tuo's head, but Gu Tuo was so drunk that his neck bones could not bear it at all, he straightened it and then tilted to one side.Yuan Zhenxia moved his body down a little, let his head fall back, and leaned against the back of the sofa, which made him feel better. The proprietress also followed and narrated the situation when Gutuo came: "When he came, we were not allowed to rest, and he wanted to drink, and said that whoever accompanied him to drink would pay ten times the normal fee... God, he has a lot of money around! He asked me to close the business, no one else came in, and all the girls accompanied him. Later, he invited the doorman, the bartender, and the thugs to drink with him, and he continued to drink. In A few hours after the start, he was drunk, but he continued to drink, really, I have been in the bar for decades, and I have never seen such a customer!" Yuan Zhenxia looked at Gu Tuo, who was drunk like mud, and sighed, expressing infinite sympathy for him in his heart.There is really no other way to live a life like Gutuo's besides anesthetizing himself desperately! He asked the proprietress: "Is his money enough to pay for three days' wine bill?" The proprietress is very honest: "There are more, here I am──" Yuan Zhenxia generously said: "There is no need to look for it, you can take the share and give it to the people in the bar. This gentleman is our friend. We're taking him away!" The proprietress was inexplicably happy, and hurriedly said: "I have also put away his clothes. I know he must be a person with a lot of background, so I have been watching him for fear of accidents. A private detective came here today──What is he?" People? A rich man from the Middle East?" Yuan Zhenxia didn't bother to talk about it, and motioned for Su Yaodong to help Gu Tuo with him.When the two of them, half holding and half supporting, carried Gutuo out, the proprietress was still asking: "Why is he in so much pain? When he was still able to speak, he knelt on the ground and asked every girl in my place Say, he suffers more than any of them!" Yuan Zhenxia and Su Yaodong didn't pay any attention to her, and the proprietress went all the way to the door, still asking: "He is so rich, why is he in pain? I really don't understand, people with so much money can still be unhappy!" Yuan Zhenxia smiled wryly in his heart.Of course the proprietress doesn't understand that many people in the world are happy when they have money, but some people are just as unhappy when they have money.Gu Tuo and Sheng Yuantian are typical examples.If you tell the proprietress about Sheng Yuantian, I'm afraid she will smash her head even more, and she won't understand. Su Yaodong and Yuan Zhenxia worked together to get Gutuo into the car and made him lie on the back seat of the car, while they sat beside him.Su Yaodong said: "It was a private detective who found him. Judging from all the signs, he has a certain relationship with Mr. Sheng. Let me get him to my place first, okay?" Yuan Zhenxia originally wanted to send Gutuo to the hospital, but after hearing what Su Yaodong said, he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Su, he...he...is a bit weird, it might not be very convenient to go to your house. " Su Yaodong said "Oh": "That's it. My office has a lounge attached to it. The equipment is very good. Send him there and send someone to take care of him. We'll talk about it when he sobers up!" Yuan Zhenxia agreed to his proposal, and Su Yaodong ordered the driver to drive. Su Yaodong's office is on the top floor of Yuantian Agency Building.The building is located in the bustling commercial area of ​​the city, which is one of the areas with the highest land prices in the world, which can rival Long Island in New York and Ginza in Tokyo. Next to the sixty-six-story building of Yuantian Organization is the building of Wang's Organization.Wang Yiheng, the chairman of Wang's organization, once wanted to buy the building of Yuantian organization at a low price when Yuantian organization wanted to raise cash. When Su Yaodong's car drove into the parking lot on the ground floor of the building, things became easier.The car stopped directly at the entrance of the elevator that Su Yaodong used privately, helped Gu Tuola out, and entered the luxuriously decorated elevator that looked like a small living room. After getting out of the elevator, two male servants in uniform came up to him and supported Gutuo. The top floor of this building is all used by Su Yaodong, one side is his office, and the other side is his "resting place".In fact, it was a very luxurious and comfortable place, with large bedrooms and a swimming pool on the terrace outside. It seems that although Su An has always regarded himself as extremely frugal, the Su brothers have a slightly different view from their father.They are loyal to Sheng Yuantian, but they also enjoy what they deserve. After helping Gutuo to the bed, he had no choice but to wait for him to wake up by himself.Su Yaodong ordered the two servants to watch over him without taking a step away. He originally wanted Yuan Zhenxia to stay, but Yuan Zhenxia shook his head and said, "I still have something to do in the hospital, and judging by his appearance, he won't wake up within twelve hours. That's all right, I'll come here to accompany you after I get off work. Him, as soon as he wakes up, you can talk to him." Su Yaodong said: "It just so happens that our second child just came back from Europe, when you come, you can meet him!" Yuan Zhenxia agreed, and Su Yaodong said: "Yaonan is in charge of overseas business, and his office is in Paris." For a moment, Yuan Zhenxia didn't understand why Su Yaodong told him this, so he looked at Su Yaodong, ready to listen to his further explanation.Su Yaodong took a breath, walked back and forth a few steps, motioned Yuan Zhenxia to sit down, and said, "Doctor Yuan, although we haven't known each other for long, I already regard you as a friend who can share secrets." Yuan Zhenxia said indifferently, "Thank you!" He spoke very politely, and never felt anything special because Su Yaodong valued him.Although Su Yaodong controlled a huge financial institution, that was nothing in Yuan Zhenxia's mind. Looking out of the window, you can see that the building of Wang's organization is taller, and it is also on the top floor, which is Wang Yiheng's office.The richest man in Asia, Wang Yiheng, had eagerly asked him to join the institution, but Yuan Zhenxia was still willing to be his own doctor. Yuan Zhenxia looked out the window, thinking of Wang Yiheng, and Huang Juan, the most powerful woman in the world, couldn't help feeling sad for a while, and sighed involuntarily.Naturally, Su Yaodong didn't know what Yuan Zhenxia was thinking, and he couldn't help being stunned when he heard him suddenly sigh for no reason. Yuan Zhenxia hurriedly said: "I'm thinking about my own affairs, what do you want to say to me?" Su Yaodong thought for a while, and pointed to the bedroom: "This Mr. Gutuo is also your friend?" Yuan Zhenxia nodded: "Yes, he also shared with me one of his biggest secrets." Su Yaodong stepped into the main topic: "If Mr. Gu Tuo and Mr. Sheng are related by blood or in other ways, you know, there are very complicated issues involved!" Yuan Zhenxia frowned: "About money and wealth?" Su Yaodong hurriedly shook his hand and said, "You misunderstood me. What I mean is that our family is faithfully implementing Mr. Sheng's will. If someone has a closer relationship with Mr. Sheng than we do, then we can unload Responsibility, leave everything to him!" What Su Yaodong said really surprised Yuan Zhenxia!In this world, there are only people who desperately fight for wealth, how can there be people who give up wealth? Yuan Zhenxia smiled, and with admiration for Su Yaodong, he said: "It's not too late to talk about it after we confirm his identity. Besides, I don't think Gu Tuo will be interested in handling heavy business!" Su Yaodong stroked his face heavily with his hands, and said, "Who is interested! My interest is in the study of marine life. You can't imagine, I have a Ph.D. in marine biology. But now it's boring to be the chairman of a large organization. Yes! I really hope that this burden can be lifted, but Mr. Sheng's will must be carried out!" When Su Yaodong said this, he looked extremely tired and helpless.It seems that there is a group of friends outside waiting for him to play football, but he is not a primary school student locked in the room to do homework! Yuan Zhenxia couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and murmured: "Everyone has everyone's troubles!" He said, stood up and said goodbye.Looking at Su Yaodong who sent him out, with a reluctant look, he walked to the other side, his office.Yuan Zhenxia stopped him suddenly, and when Su Yaodong turned around, Yuan Zhenxia said: "Mr. Su, in fact, you can entrust the affairs of the organization to competent people and study marine life by yourself!" Su Yaodong looked at Yuan Zhenxia for a moment, then sighed: "That's what I've been thinking about even in my dreams!" Everyone, don't think that the conversation between Su Yaodong and Yuan Zhenxia at this moment has no special meaning.Indeed, that has little to do with this story, but there is another extremely bizarre story that happened in the future, but it has a very close relationship with this conversation.Of course, that will happen in the future, after Yuan Zhenxia and Gu Tuo had many strange encounters. Yuan Zhenxia left the building of Yuantian Organization, and went back to the bar to pick up the car.When he passed by the entrance of the bar, he saw many people gathered at the entrance of the bar, whispering and chatting, probably talking about Gutuo's feat. When Yuan Zhenxia arrived at the Yuantian Organization Building, it was around ten o'clock in the evening.As soon as he drove to the door, a driver came up to meet him. After asking him that he was Yuan Zhenxia, ​​he respectfully invited him to the private elevator.On the top floor, Yuan Zhenxia saw Su Yaodong, Su Yaoxi, and a well-dressed young man with a burly physique. One could tell from his appearance that he was Su Yaonan, the second child of the Su family. Su Yaonan seemed straightforward and honest, as soon as he saw Yuan Zhenxia, ​​he stepped forward and shook hands with Yuan Zhenxia. While shaking Yuan Zhenxia's hand vigorously, he said: "I heard from the eldest brother and the third brother, what Dad said about Mr. Sheng, Doctor Yuan, I can be sure that before they died, they were doing a kind of Rituals of witchcraft!" Yuan Zhenxia said: "I think so, but why are you so sure?" As Su Yaonan walked in, he said, "I've seen it! I've seen people who perform witchcraft rituals, dig out the eyes of crows and owls, and burn them to ashes. It is said that that can make the spell effective." Su Yaoxi explained from the side: "Second brother likes this kind of strange things the most. He has been like this since he was a child. He even believes in alchemy!" Su Yaonan stared and said, "Why do you think I chose the Department of Chemistry when I was in college?" Yuan Zhenxia laughed.The three brothers are about the same age as him, and although their personalities are different, they are cheerful and cheerful, and they are very easy to talk to friends. Su Yaonan has been talking all the time. His words prove that he is a person full of imagination: "There are also male and female skeletons, which are also important things in witchcraft. It is said that a skeleton is powdered, and a suitable matching The spell can make all the energy of this skeleton be used by witches!" Everyone entered the living room, sat down, and Su Yaoxi poured wine for everyone.While drinking, Su Yaonan was still talking nonstop: "So I can be sure that Mr. Sheng must be proficient in witchcraft. Before he died, he would use witchcraft to do a great thing! I don't know what he wants to do? According to Dad From the sort of battles spoken of, if the witchcraft had any power, he could have split the Alps in two!" Yuan Zhenxia shook his head and said, "That's not right! The two of them also lost their lives!" Su Yaonan's appearance was very mysterious, he leaned forward and said, "From this we can see how determined their will is when performing spells!" Yuan Zhenxia laughed and said bluntly: "I think you are a layman to witchcraft. We have a great expert in witchcraft here. I wonder if he is awake?" Yuan Zhenxia said while pointing to the bedroom.Su Yaodong said: "After moving a few times, I fell asleep again." Yuan Zhenxia said: "Let's go and see him!" A group of people walked to the bedroom and saw that Gutuo was still lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, motionless.When I came to the bedside, I smelled a pungent smell of alcohol. Yuan Zhenxia opened his eyelids, looked at him, and said, "There is nothing wrong. I think, tomorrow morning, you will find a doctor to give him intravenous saline injection. Five hundred cc is enough. Make it easier for him to wake up." Su Yaoxi said: "Tonight, we are going to accompany him here, do you want to join, Doctor Yuan?" Yuan Zhenxia said: "Okay, then I'll give him the saline injection, I'm going to prepare the application." Su Yaonan said: "Great, nice to meet you. I think you don't have to call us Mr. Su, and we don't call you Doctor Yuan anymore. Let's call each other by name, okay?" Yuan Zhenxia smiled: "Of course, I call you Mr. Su, the three of you rush to answer together, it's awkward!" Everyone laughed, Yuan Zhenxia left first, and he came back half an hour later. It took him ten minutes to hang up the saline bottle and let the saline slowly inject into Gutuo's vein. The four of them chatted in the bedroom, at first they were all over the place, and later, the topic focused on discussing Sheng Yuantian's mysterious origin.Su Yaonan said: "I think Mr. Sheng must have had a deep relationship with witchcraft. After the establishment of the Little Treasure Library, he specially ordered to collect books on this topic." Su Yaoxi shook his head and said: "In this way, the first thing to be sure is whether witchcraft really exists!" Su Yaonan hurriedly said: "Of course there is. How could there be no witchcraft? Otherwise, how could there be so many books to record them?" Su Yaoxi laughed: "Second brother, don't argue with me. I mean, does witchcraft really have a mysterious power that can make some impossible things happen through weird rituals and inexplicable spells? " Su Yaonan was speechless when asked by his younger brother.Yuan Zhenxia, ​​who was holding a wine glass, really wanted to tell what happened to Gu Tuo at that time.But without Gutuo's consent, he couldn't casually reveal other people's secrets, so he held back and said nothing. Su Yaonan said loudly: "I can't give any practical examples, but this doesn't mean that the facts don't exist!" The Su brothers may have been used to arguing since they were young. Su Yaoxi immediately said: "Second brother, this is sophistry. According to what you say, you can say that there are three-headed men and six-legged horses, but they can't lift them. Just give a real example!" Su Yaonan was so refuted that he couldn't speak. At this moment, a weak voice came from the bed: "If there are facts, can this prove that witchcraft does have a magical power?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhenxia stood up first: "Gu Tuo, you're awake!" Gu Tuo still lay still, but just opened his eyes: "I've been awake for quite a while, and I've been listening to you talking about that Mr. Sheng, please forgive me for interrupting!" Yuan Zhenxia came to the bedside, pointed to the three Su brothers standing side by side by the bedside, and made an introduction to Gutuo.Gutuo asked, "Do I have anything to do with that Mr. Sheng?" Yuan Zhenxia took a breath: "I can't be sure, but Gutuo, from the time you entered the orphanage until you were able to withdraw money at will from your Swiss bank account, all of this was done by the three of them who faithfully executed Sheng Yuantian. The result of the will. You wanted to try that time, how much money you could get in the account, and hurt them badly!" Yuan Zhenxia briefly talked about the embarrassment of the Yuantian organization in order to raise cash.Guto listened silently and smiled sadly. Yuan Zhenxia added: "I believe that the person who entrusted a lawyer in London to find you on your thirtieth birthday, ask you a strange question, and give you a gift is also Sheng Yuantian. !" The Su brothers didn't know what Yuan Zhenxia said.Su Yaodong was impatient, and immediately asked: "What's going on?" Gu Tuo took a deep breath: "There are too many things we have to say to each other, let me hear everything about Sheng Yuantian first!" Yuan Zhenxia and the other four moved the chair closer to the bed, and told Gu Tuo everything about Sheng Yuantian to the best of their knowledge. Guto has been just listening in silence, and at times, even looks like he is asleep.It was the weakness of drunkenness, in fact, he had been listening with great concentration. Only when he narrated the two passages did Gu Tuo involuntarily let out a cry of surprise. Once, it was about the situation when Xiaobao died, and when Su An knew that what Sheng Yuantian said was "strangle you to death".The second time, when it was about Sheng Yuantian and his wife who asked Su An to get those strange things in the stone house, Gu Tuo not only exclaimed, but also said: "They...they want to burn themselves to death!" Su Yaonan hurriedly asked: "How do you know? What is it for?" Guto didn't answer, but just waved his hand, motioning to continue talking. When he finished speaking, Gutuo looked ugly, his lips were trembling, but no sound came out.After a while, he said: "Doctor Yuan, please tell me about my matter, okay?" Yuan Zhenxia hesitated for a moment, but Gutuo said, "Tell me everything, including the hole in my leg!" As he spoke, he struggled to lift the hem of his trousers and show them the hole in his leg.The Su brothers looked at each other with surprised expressions, they didn't know what "a hole in the leg" meant. Yuan Zhenxia stopped Gutuo's movements and said, "Okay, let me talk, and when I'm done talking, I'll invite you..." He made a gesture. Gutuo closed his eyes, looking pale. And Yuan Zhenxia began to talk about Gutuo. The Su brothers were dumbfounded, and Su Yaonan kept mumbling: "Witchcraft! Witchcraft!" Su Yaodong shook his head: "But Mr. Gutuo didn't offend anyone. Who cast witchcraft on him?" While Yuan Zhenxia was narrating Gutuo's affairs, he was also listening to their whispered discussions.At this time, when he heard Su Yaodong say this, his heart suddenly moved. He felt chills all over his body. He stopped narrating for a while, and he had to calm down before he could continue. What Yuan Zhenxia thought at that moment was: In Gu Tuo's life, there is absolutely no possibility of provoking anyone to perform witchcraft on him, but the hole in his leg is so weird!If it is affirmed that it is the result of someone using witchcraft, then, is it because the hatred in the heart of the caster has reached the extreme, and Gu Tuo has a deep relationship with the person who is hated by the caster, so he suffered a joint disaster? Woolen cloth? If this assumption is true, then who was the first person to suffer from witchcraft?Is it Sheng Yuantian? Things seem to be getting more and more complicated, more and more incomprehensible. When Yuan Zhenxia finished talking about Gutuo, Su Yaodong was the first to call out, "Abba, please! Mr. Gutuo is undoubtedly Mr. Sheng's son, it must be!" Yuan Zhenxia said: "I thought about it too, but how do you explain growing up in an orphanage?" Su Yaodong couldn't answer, Su Yaoxi said: "We don't need to guess, I think there must be answers among the books in the library that only Mr. Gutuo is allowed to read!" At this time, 500 CC of normal saline had been injected.Although Gu Tuo's face was still pale, his spirit had improved a lot, and it was almost dawn! Gu Tuo said slowly: "I think so, the lawyer came to me on my thirtieth birthday. If nothing strange happened to me, I don't need to know that there is a library in the world called Xiaobao Library. But in my身上有怪事发生过的话，我就得到那张卡，有权来阅读那批书。可知那批书，对我有极大的关系。” 苏耀东望着古托：“你觉得可以走动么？” 古托惨然一笑：“不能走动，我也立即要爬去！” 他挣扎着要坐起来，手背撑在床上，臂骨发出格格的声响来，可知他身子虚弱之极。苏氏兄弟过去扶他起来，吩咐仆人送来补品。古托只是随便喝了两口，穿上了衬衫，提着外套，虽然每跨出一步，身子就不免摇晃一下，可是却不要人再扶他。 等到他们全上了车，苏耀南才问：“古托先生，何以你听到盛先生死前的准备，就知道他们一定会烧死自己？” 古托沉默了一会，才道：“他们要用自己的生命，使得一种恶毒的诅咒失效，就必须烧死自己，才能产生那种对抗力量。” 古托的话说得虽然简单，但是已经够明白了。可是听得古托这样说的人，却都有一种陷身虚幻莫名的境界之感。 他们全是受过高等现代化教育的人，对他们来说，巫术，咒语，那只不过是传说中的现象，是一种实际上不存在的东西。 可是，如今，活生生的事实却摆在他们面前；和他们的知识完全相违背的现象，就在眼前。那种心境上的迷惘和彷徨，就像是一个一辈子靠竹杖点路的瞎子，忽然之间失去了竹杖一样！ 他们也更同情古托，因为他们还只是旁观者，已经这样失落和不知所措，古托却是身受者，心境上的悲痛、彷徨，一定在他们万倍之上！ 古托在说了之后，四个人都不出声，古托又道：“这是我在一本书上看到的！” 苏耀南道：“我不明白，这是很矛盾的事。再恶毒的咒语，也不过使人死而已，要使这种咒语失效，反倒要牺牲自己的生命，而且是自焚致死！这又是为了甚么？好像没有法子讲得通！” 苏耀西苦笑了一下：“讲不通的事情太多了！” 古托的喉间发出了一下声响，像是要讲话。但是当各人向他望去之际，他却又不出声，只是口唇还在不住地发颤。 原振侠道：“我看一定有原因的，或许是原来的诅咒实在太恶毒，如果不用这种方法令之失效的话，怕会……会使灵魂都受到损害？” 古托陡然叫了起来：“事情已经够复杂的了，别再扯到灵魂的身上好不好？” 原振侠作了一个手势：“对，其实，我看小宝图书馆中的藏书，一定可以解释这许多复杂的事。对不起，我想下车，先回去了。” 古托立时望向原振侠：“原，你生气了？” 原振侠叹了一声，伸手在古托的肩头上拍了一下：“当然不会，古托，我们是朋友，你有甚么事要我帮忙的，我一定不会推辞！” 古托望了原振侠片刻，才道：“这是你答应过的！” 原振侠慨然道：“答允就是答允！” 古托点了点头，坐直了身子，道：“那就请你一起到小宝图书馆去！” 原振侠的神情，十分为难。 原振侠的为难，是有道理的。古托已和苏氏兄弟相遇，他们之间，可能有着极深刻的关系，而他，只不过是古托偶然相遇的朋友。
