Chapter 12 Chapter 11 The Oath of Terror

I reached out and took the jug.Only then did the old policeman come to his senses.I also poured myself a glass of wine, held it up and said, "Then tell me about it, what kind of experience it was, and how frightening it was." The old man brought the wine glass to his mouth and slowly drank the full glass.Stimulated by the alcohol, he gathered enough courage and finally managed to utter a few words through his teeth: "That night, in that cave... I was also..." "Are you here?" This was really beyond my expectation, "Could it be that you are also from Feng'an Town?"

Sergeant Wu nodded and said, "I was a small policeman in the police station of Feng'an Town, and then I was promoted before I went to the county seat." "Since you are also present, how come you don't know the secret of that 'monster'?" "I went half a step late and didn't see that 'monster'." I suddenly remembered what Ah Chuan said, and suddenly said: "So you are one of those two people!" "Which two?" "At that time, people in the town divided into several ways to find Mrs. Meng. Two people found the cave where the incident happened first. One of them was killed by Chu Hanshan on the spot, and the other was you, right?"

"You know a lot of things." Sergeant Wu said leisurely, then he narrowed his eyes and fell into the memories of that night. "That night, a boy from the town and I searched up the mountain along a small road in the northeast of the mountain. We turned a mountain pass, and we saw a fire in a cave on a high place from a distance, so we immediately accelerated I rushed towards the cave. The young man with me was younger than me, and he walked faster, so he grabbed ahead of me and pulled me down by tens of meters. When I was approaching the cave, I heard the cave The sound of a baby crying came from the cave, and I knew right away that this place was right. At this time, the young man in front had already rushed to the entrance of the cave, and suddenly I heard him shout: 'Monster!'”

"He saw the fetus?" "Yes—his voice was trembling. He must have been terrified. When I heard his shout, I stopped and looked up at the entrance of the cave. But I saw a figure rushing out of the cave, almost rushing towards the young man. His arms were full. When the two separated, the young man collapsed limply at the entrance of the cave." "Chu Hanshan killed him, right?" Inspector Wu nodded, and then said: "I saw that the situation was not good, so I quickly rushed to the entrance of the cave. When I got to the entrance of the cave, I saw that the boy's heart was bleeding red, and he was already out of breath. I didn't care about putting him down." corpse, rushed into the cave again, and then...then I saw that terrifying picture..."

Because the old man said before that he was late and didn't see the monster, so I deduced: "You mean... Du Yuhong's body?" "Yes. That scene was too tragic... I will never forget it for the rest of my life." At this point, Police Chief Wu's voice was a little choked up. He tremblingly took out a cigarette, held it between his fingers but forgot ignite.He stared blankly at a certain void, with tears flickering faintly in his eyes. His out-of-control emotions are obviously not just caused by fear!I was a little surprised at first, then my heart moved, and I realized something, and blurted out: "You like Du Yuhong too?"

The old man's mood was interrupted by me.He looked up at me and smiled bitterly. "Then between you and Du Yuhong..." I hesitated to speak, but the other party already understood what I wanted to ask.He shook his head and said, "There is no relationship between me and Du Yuhong. I just admire her silently, but I never dared to let her know." "Why didn't you tell her?" "Tell her what? I don't deserve her at all. As long as I can see her from a distance, I am very satisfied." I'm sure that's what the old man said from the bottom of his heart. Although more than twenty years have passed, his tone is still full of affection.I made up my mind secretly, and remembered what Pozi Meng said.

"In short, you are all the same, you would rather wrong yourself for others." Now I finally understand the meaning of this sentence.I also believed in Mrs. Meng's assertion: Although Sergeant Wu loathes and despises me on the surface, he actually regards me as a confidant in his heart. After some emotion, I controlled Pianpian's thoughts and brought the topic back to that night. "You saw Du Yuhong's body, the tragedy, it's really...really..." I said "really" twice, but I couldn't describe it.Sergeant Wu closed her eyes in pain, and said after a long time: "At that time, Du Yuhong had long since lost her breath, but her eyes were staring round, as if she would not be able to close her eyes until she died. I was completely stupid. It was blank. I remember kneeling in that pool of blood, crying loudly. I only saw Du Yuhong’s body in my eyes, and only my own crying in my ears. Other than that, I couldn’t see anything, and I couldn’t hear anything. not see."

I sighed silently and asked, "What happened next?" "Later..." Sergeant Wu took a deep breath to free himself from the sad memory, "I didn't know how long I cried, and suddenly I felt a chill on my neck, so I looked down and found that there was something wrong. Put the shining hunting knife right on my neck." "Is it Chu Hanshan? Has he escaped yet?" "He had already left, but he turned back. I just cried bitterly, and didn't realize that he had come behind me. I didn't wake up suddenly until the hunting knife was wrapped around my neck. My crying stopped, but There was another cry of a baby behind me."

"He came back with the baby?" Sergeant Wu said: "Yes. At that time, I subconsciously wanted to look back, and suddenly I heard someone shout: 'Don't look back!'. I recognized that it was Mrs. Meng's voice. When I entered the cave, I saw her shrinking in the cave. In the corner, but I didn't pay attention to her at all. But her cry saved my life." I guessed: "You mean: if you turn around and see that 'monster', then your life will be lost?" "That's right. I didn't dare to turn back when I was called by Mrs. Meng. Then I heard Mrs. Meng say in a pleading tone: 'He didn't see anything, so don't kill him.' The hunting knife on my neck was slightly It loosened a little, and at the same time, a low voice shouted from the back of my head: "Take off the jade pendant around her neck!" Take off the jade pendant..."

I interjected, "The jade pendant is the one that Chu Yun is carrying now, right?" "That's the one. I had looked at the jade pendant carefully at that time, so I recognized it at a glance in the ward yesterday. The jade pendant has a dog carved on one side, and a word 'cloud' on the other side. It must be Du Yuhong prepared it for her baby. This is a local custom, and babies will wear such a jade pendant when they are born. That 'cloud' is exactly the name she gave the baby, and this word can be used by both boys and girls." I agree: "It does."

Inspector Wu continued: "Chu Hanshan continued to hold my neck with a knife and ordered me to hand over the jade pendant to him. I didn't dare to look back, so I just raised my hands back above my head. At this moment, I already understood: that man I went back and forth just to take this jade pendant away. After Chu Hanshan got the jade pendant, he ordered me to bow my head, and ran away quickly with the child in my arms. I dare not disobey his order, Mr. I kept my head down obediently until Mrs. Meng told me that the man had already left, so I dared to stand up." The story seems to be finished here, but I feel like something is missing. "Didn't Chu Hanshan make you swear or something?" I asked.If not, why should the old man be afraid of that curse? Sergeant Wu took out a match and lit the cigarette that had been in his hand for a long time.He took a deep breath and said as he exhaled the smoke, "I swear, but not that night—it was twenty days later." "Twenty days..." I calculated in my mind, "After Chu Hanshan killed the baby girl of the Ling family?" Chief Wu nodded and said, "Yes. That day Chu Hanshan broke into Master Ling's mourning hall, was caught and locked up in the cell of the police station. That's where I swore my oath." "What's going on?" I really didn't understand.If a hunting knife is held around the neck, it is imperative to swear.But Orion has already been imprisoned in vain, why does Wu Chunlei, a policeman, swear to him? Sergeant Wu leaned his body on the back of the chair, raised his head slightly, and said while recalling: "Chu Hanshan killed Mr. Ling, this is a big case that shocked the party. After the arrest that day, the director of the police station immediately came out." , and personally interrogated Chu Hanshan. Unexpectedly, Chu Hanshan would not say a word, and the interrogation would not proceed at all. Without a confession, the police station would not be able to explain to the Ling family and Shangfeng. Our director is in a hurry, first The punishment was imposed, but Chu Hanshan was so stubborn that he didn't want to do it at all. It seemed that the hard way didn't work, so the director had to be soft: unloaded the torture equipment, and entertained him with food and drinks first. Finally, he said to him: "Brother, you lost three lives, so it's enough, right? Don't embarrass everyone, just confess clearly, and I will definitely send you on your way with dignity!" Chu Hanshan listened At this point, he said: "It's not difficult to get my confession, but I only talk to one person."" "Oh?" I looked at the old man and said, "That person is you, right?" The old man grinned and said: "That's right. He just ordered my general—our chief hurriedly found me, and specially asked me to coax the hunter, and just get the confession as important as possible. So I went into the interrogation room alone. After Chu Hanshan saw me, he asked me to swear an oath first, and then he cooperated with me to record a statement." I said "hmm", and then asked about the most crucial plot: "What is the oath?" "He made me swear: I must keep the secret of that night." "The secret of that night—referring to the 'monster' born by caesarean section?" "What else can there be?" "But you didn't see that 'monster'? What's the point of your swearing?" "I heard my companion shout out the word 'monster' before dying. So although I don't know what the truth of the secret is, I know the existence of the secret. Chu Hanshan asked me to swear that there is There are two meanings, the first is not to ask Mrs. Meng for details, and the second is to let me keep an eye on Mrs. Meng, we must keep that secret together and never let it out." I nod.That's right, Wu Chunlei arrived at the scene that day, and although he didn't witness the secret, he eventually heard about it.If he is not tight-lipped, then Mrs. Meng will be under a lot of pressure.It was indeed necessary for the old man to perhaps swear. "So you swore? Is it that simple?" There is nothing surprising about this matter now, I just don't understand, is such an oath so terrifying to the old policeman?Can it make him still have lingering fears after twenty years? Sergeant Wu saw what I was thinking, he raised his head and sighed silently, and said: "At first I thought it was no big deal, so I swore as the other party said. Chu Hanshan is also trustworthy, and then After he came down, he cooperated with me to record a statement. He explained everything clearly: killing Master Ling and the young daughter of the Ling family, all for revenge..." Hearing what the other party said, I suddenly thought of something, so I interrupted: "By the way, why did he cut off a big piece of flesh from that baby girl's butt?" "He himself said that he ate that piece of meat to understand his hatred... because his daughter was cursed by Master Ling." "Did he really say that?" I shook my head in disbelief. "His sanity was out of order at the time, and what he did was really incomprehensible." Sergeant Wu squinted his eyes and recalled for a while, and then said, "You know, he cut off a piece of flesh from the baby girl's buttocks." Afterwards, he also found herbal medicine for treatment—he didn’t seem to want the baby to die soon, so he purposely tortured her for a few more days.” On the day Chu Hanshan killed Master Ling, he abducted the baby girl, and returned the baby girl's body seven days later.Could it be that he has been ravaging that child with such cruel means for the past seven days?I imagined the tragic situation of the baby girl who was seriously injured and survived, and I only felt that my heart was oppressed. "Okay, let's not talk about the daughter of the Ling family." Sheriff Wu waved his hand and changed the topic, "Let's talk about the oath." I was puzzled and said, "Didn't you finish the oath?" "It's over?" The corner of the old man's mouth twitched, his expression couldn't tell whether he was about to cry or laugh, then he shook his head slowly and said, "It's not over, the really wonderful thing is at the end..." The word "wonderful" squeezed out between his teeth, like an ice pick with a sharp blade piercing my eardrum.I felt a bone-chilling chill and realized: what the old man was going to say next, and that was the real point!I could only hold my breath and continue to listen to his story. The old man's eyes were gloomy, and he fell into memory again: "...Chu Hanshan said everything that should be said, and I gave him the completed transcript to sign and draw. But he didn't take the pen, but stared at it with his eyes. Looking at me, I asked: Do you remember the oath you made before? My mind was only on the record, so I answered casually: Yes. Maybe my attitude was too casual, so Chu Hanshan sneered, Said: You are not paying attention, I have to let you have a longer memory! After he finished speaking, he suddenly punched me on the forehead.The punch was so precise and ruthless that I almost passed out.I was knocked down to the ground, and Chu Yunshan rode on me.He locked one elbow on my neck, making it hard for me to breathe.I could only open my mouth dryly, trying to shout but couldn't make a sound.I struggled desperately but it was in vain, because my strength was far inferior to the opponent's.In a trance, I suddenly felt that some liquid was dripping down from a high place, hitting my cheek warmly.When I looked closely, I saw a terrifying scene that I will never forget in my life..." The old man stopped here again, as if he wanted to adjust his nervousness.I swallowed, and cautiously asked: "What's wrong?" The old man took a few deep breaths, and then continued: "At that time, Chu Hanshan pressed me with one hand, but inserted his other hand into his eyes. His fingers went in from the eye sockets, and unexpectedly He cut out an eyeball alive! He and I are close at hand, and we can see everything clearly. When the eyeball was cut out by him, there were still many blood vessels connected to it in a mess. He It was really a ruthless hand, and with a hard pull, those blood vessels were torn apart. Blood gushed out and sprayed on my face. I was completely frightened and stupid, and my whole body was limp and I had no strength left. Then the pain Han Shan grinned grimly and stuffed that bloody eyeball into my mouth." "What?" I suspect I heard wrong. "He stuffed his eyeballs into my mouth!" the old man repeated, his voice trembling, and his breathing was difficult, as if his throat was being blocked by something greasy, "I just feel the warmth between my lips and tongue." It was wet and fishy, ​​and I wanted to spit it out in a hurry. But Chu Hanshan covered my mouth, and then pinched my nose to prevent me from breathing. Finally, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I had to I opened my mouth and inhaled, the eyeball rolled, passed through my throat, and slid into my stomach." My heart throbbed with nausea.I picked up the jug on the table, and before I had time to pour it into the glass, I took a big gulp mouth to mouth.With this sip, I choked up tears, and at the same time I asked incoherently, "He... what is he going to do?" Police Chief Wu smiled miserably: "He just wanted me to firmly remember that oath. Seeing that I swallowed the eyeball, Chu Hanshan let me go. Then he stared at me with two eyes——no , is an eye, and a black hole of blood... He said to me: You remember, my eyes are in your body and will always be there! I will always stare at you, if you dare to break the oath , I will never let you go!" The old man imitated Orion's gloomy tone back then, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.Although I couldn't be there personally, I was shuddering at this moment.I can finally understand: why the old policeman is so afraid of the curse and oath of twenty years ago.Because the person who took the oath and made the curse has invaded his body in an extremely bloody way, and thus controlled his soul forever! "After saying that, Chu Hanshan slammed his head into the wall of the interrogation room, his brains scattered all over the floor, and he died!" The old man ended the narration with a long sigh, his body slumped on the chair— ——The tragic and terrifying memories almost drained his energy. I also sat blankly, unable to speak for a long time.The Orion's strong love and hatred traveled through distant time and space, and hit me hard.His actions are so decisive, and his tactics are extremely vicious-but all of them are born for love.He fulfilled his promise to Du Yuhong to live and die together, and at the same time, he used the most extreme means to protect his newly born daughter.His body is long gone, but his blood has never dried up.I can even feel his gaze, from the blood-soaked eyeball.That gaze was fixed on me, on everyone related to his daughter. In the end it was the old man who broke the suffocating silence. He asked me in a low tone: "Do you understand now? Do you still dare to defy his power?" "I have to admit it was a horrible time. But—" I took a deep breath and told the other person solemnly, "I'm not leaving." Police Chief Wu looked at me and shook his head helplessly: "It seems that my words are all in vain..." "I made a promise to that woman." I said firmly again, "I will never leave Feng'an Town alone." "I know you can't let Chu Yun go. But what's the use of you staying here?" I asked the other party: "If I leave, wouldn't that woman see even less hope?" Sergeant Wu sat up straight, cheered up and said to me: "You should trust me——I can rescue Chu Yun." "What new plans do you have?" I asked with interest.The old man's plan before was to awaken the girl's memory, and then ask the other party to testify against Ling Mufeng for intentional homicide.But now Pozi Meng, who can "call out the soul" of the girl, is dead, and if she wants to rescue the girl, she has to find another way. "A new plan..." Sergeant Wu spread his hands and said, "I haven't thought about this yet." I grinned, not hiding my disappointment. "But I will definitely be able to rescue that woman—" Sergeant Wu leaned over and continued in a low voice, "I can also bring down Ling Mufeng." The other party's demeanor is convincing, but it doesn't impress me.I questioned: "You don't even have a plan now, how dare you say for sure?" The old man narrowed his eyes and said mysteriously, "I had a dream..." I gave a "hey" dry laugh.a dream?What can a dream mean? The old man saw my attitude, he was not ashamed, but said to me more seriously: "Don't you dream? Have you ever encountered such a situation: sometimes the scenes that happen in reality will be different from yours? Once the dreams match together, you will have a feeling of déjà vu for a moment..." "This..." I thought for a while and said, "It seems to have happened." "Everyone feels it, but it's especially strong in me!" I frowned slightly and looked at the shriveled old man in front of me, and asked, "What do you want to explain?" The old man said: "I can predict the future through dreams, that is to say: some things that will happen in the future will appear in my dreams in advance." I shook my head and let out a sigh of "嗤". "you do not believe?" I smiled bitterly and asked back: "If you can predict the future, why don't you have a dream to see how Pozi Meng died?" "I can't dream of everything in the future, but occasionally some things have appeared in my dreams." "Okay, I see what you mean," I concluded, "—you're superstitious about your dreams, and you think those dreams are prophecies of the future." Sergeant Wu nodded and admitted: "That's the way it is." Thinking about it carefully, this matter is not uncommon. Many people think that dreams have connotations.Some people will specialize in helping people interpret dreams, and there are also some people who will instruct their actions based on dreams.This old man is obviously the latter. I asked him, "Then what dream did you have this time?" "I dreamed that I caught Ling Mufeng, and I personally sent him to the prison in the county seat!" Sergeant Wu said in a low voice, he clenched his yellow teeth, and there was a sense of vengeance in his tone. I can understand the feelings of the old policeman.When he was young, he admired Du Yuhong and treated him like a fairy.Later, Du Yuhong died tragically, and her daughter Chu Yun inherited her mother's unparalleled beauty.In Sergeant Wu's heart, Chu Yun would inevitably become entangled into an inseparable complex.She is not only the incarnation of the old man's dream lover, but also wins the other's selfless love like a daughter.Sergeant Wu agreed to marry Chu Yun to Ling Mufeng at the beginning, so how does it feel different from a father marrying a daughter?But Chu Yun suffered inhuman abuse from Ling Mufeng after marriage, how could the old man not be angry?His hatred for Ling Mufeng is probably no less than mine! Maybe this is the reason why he wanted to send Ling Mufeng to prison in his dream? "Do you believe this dream will become a reality?" I asked, thinking to myself: I'm afraid this is also caused by hatred.People will always selectively believe in some vague things. Sergeant Wu sneered and said, "If I hadn't had such a dream beforehand, why would I take the risk of confronting that surnamed Ling in Feng'an Town?" I pondered the old man's demeanor, knowing that the other party really believed in that dream.My heart moved, and suddenly I had some other thoughts.I thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "Later, Chu Yun disappeared, and you have been clinging on to it because you thought you could bring down Ling Mufeng and make your dream come true?" Sergeant Wu nodded and said, "Not bad." I tapped the table lightly with my fingers a few times, and said slowly: "I think: Ling Mufeng may really be sent to prison by you, but it may not be because of Chu Yun!" The old man asked suspiciously: "Then what else can we do to arrest him?" I leaned over my body and whispered: "This matter is close at hand!" The old man suddenly understood what I meant: "You mean the death of Mrs. Meng?" I tapped my fingers on the table and said, "Yes!" The old man looked at me, noncommittal.I know: in his heart, Pozi Meng died of that terrible curse, and I need to find a way to convince him. "That curse is indeed frightening, and the psychological shadow that Chu Hanshan left on you will never be eliminated in this life—I understand all of this." I first said a few words along the other side's train of thought, and then changed the subject, " But if it is said that ghosts can kill people, I will never believe it anyway. There are no ghosts in this world, only people who harm people. After Pozi Meng is dead, Ling Mufeng is the biggest suspect!" The old man didn't say anything, but he didn't refute either.At least he is interested in listening to me, which is a great encouragement to me.I then continued: "Ling Mufeng wanted to stop Mrs. Meng from summoning her soul yesterday afternoon—this has already exposed his motive for committing the crime; two of his subordinates guarded Mrs. Meng's door all night last night, which created the conditions for him to commit the crime." Is it? Or he doesn’t need to do it himself, those two guys strangled Mrs. Meng to death!” Hearing this, Sergeant Wu interrupted me and asked, "But there are no footprints in the yard, how can this be done?" "This..." I opened my mouth to question for a moment, and said helplessly, "I can't say that well. But this must be a trick set up by Ling Mufeng, just like he embedded two spirit cards in a well-these tricks are In order to confuse you and make you think that this case was done by spirits. Ling knows the weakness in your heart, so he deliberately guides your thinking. If you really think according to his design, then you will be fooled!" Sergeant Wu pondered for a while, secretly weighing my words.At the end he asked again: "If Ling Mufeng is really responsible for this case, what does the spirit card on the altar mean?" "This is also his trick. Besides killing Mrs. Meng, he also wanted to kill me and A-Chui! So he made such a spiritual card and wrote the names of the three of us on it. In this way, if A-Chui and I die in the future, everyone will die." The first thing that comes to mind is still ghosts killing people." The old man gave a disapproving "hoo" and said, "I believe that the surname Ling wanted to kill you. But why did he kill A Chui?" I thought about it, and said, "A-Chui peeked at Chu Yun taking a bath. This should be a big taboo for Ling Mufeng, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos and kill A-Chui together." Sergeant Wu glanced at me in surprise: "There is such a thing? How do you know?" "Yesterday, when we went to the town, A-Zhui boasted to me. You think, this guy is so loose-tongued, Ling Mufeng can stand him?" "Damn it, this bastard deserved to be killed!" Sheriff Wu cursed angrily.It seems that Hammer is really a character that people hate. Seeing that the old man's thoughts had been gradually turned around, I cleared my cough and said in conclusion: "So, if your dreams are really accurate, I think you have to investigate the cause of Mrs. Meng's death. If this matter is done It's done, but the surname Ling has no way out!" Police Chief Wu nodded secretly—the significance of this is obvious: if it can be found out that Mrs. Meng was indeed murdered by Ling Mufeng, it would be a real murder case. After all, falling into the water was a family matter between the couple. Even if Chu Yun testified that Ling Mufeng intended to kill someone, but after all, the person did not die, so it would not be a big deal. But the old man thought about it again, and frowned again: "You have said so much, but it's a pity that it's all speculation. If you say that Mrs. Meng was the victim of Ling, where is the evidence? There is not even a single footprint in the yard. How do you want me to check?" This is indeed a fatal problem.I could only grin in embarrassment, speechless. "Okay, don't say so many useless things." Police Chief Wu leaned back in the chair, squinted his eyes and said to me, "Whether it is the soul who wants to kill you or Ling Mufeng who wants to kill you, in short, 'Feng Yuanchi' three This word is already on the death list. If you really refuse to leave, then your life is at stake." I sneered proudly and said, "I'm not afraid. Didn't the surname Ling want to touch me a long time ago? Haven't I been living well these days?" Sergeant Wu looked at me mockingly: "Tch, if I hadn't protected you, would you still be sitting here drinking?" I can't argue with that.Ling Mufeng has been against me several times, and this old man helped me out, and I really have no power to fight back on my own. "You'd better go. Not only is it useless for you to stay here, but it will drag me down and prevent me from concentrating on dealing with that surnamed Ling." The old man failed to persuade him, and began to use aggressive methods. I couldn't hold back my face, and said angrily: "Just do what you want, I have my own plan!" The old man slanted his mouth and smiled: "Tell me, what are your plans?" "It's useless to tell you." I seized the opportunity to fight back, "Because you don't dare to participate in this plan." The old man's smile froze on his face, and he asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" "Although Pozi Meng is dead, there are still traces of that secret. I want to investigate further. If I can uncover that secret, then I can 'shout the soul' like Pozi Meng and help the girl wake up her memory." "Secret... what are you talking about?" "What else? Of course it's the 'monster''s secret!" "Only Mrs. Meng knows that secret. Where are you going to find out?" the old man asked anxiously, his forehead seemed to be covered with cold sweat. I stared at the opponent like I was chasing after the victory, and at the same time I turned out my hole cards. "The nun's nunnery on the other side of the mountain!" I said, "Chu Hanshan sent that 'monster' to the nunnery back then. Girl. How could a 'monster' born with chills turn into a beauty? Something must have happened! And the nun who adopted the baby must know all about it." Police Chief Wu couldn't refute my inference, he could only remind me: "But that nun died a long time ago." I sneered and said: "As long as the nunnery is still there, you can find some clues. It's impossible for you to miss this, but you never mentioned it—not because you ignored it, but because you didn't dare!" My series of words hit the old man's vitals, his back loosened, and his momentum collapsed.Then he sighed and said, "Yes... I really don't dare. I don't dare to approach that secret at all, I just want to stay far away..." "I'm not afraid, I'll go tomorrow." I crossed my legs triumphantly, "Do you still think I'm useless now?" The old man glared at me bitterly: "Go if you are not afraid of death." He looked a little annoyed, but he calmed down after a while, and said in another tone: "You have to promise me, if you are here The nunnery can't find any clues, so you have to leave tomorrow." I didn't bother to compete with him anymore, so I agreed temporarily: "Okay." In this way, we each made a concession, and both sides left some steps. Sergeant Wu nodded, and then he asked, "Then what should we do tonight?" I said "Huh?"What's the meaning? "I'm going back to the county at night. What are you going to do? Stay in the police station room?" It turned out that the old man was still worried about my safety.Indeed, after he left Feng'an, that lonely night was the most dangerous moment for me.What should I do?I scratched my head, unable to make up my mind for a while: "This..." "Come on." The old man suddenly said again, "That room is really cold and shabby—let me find you a good place tonight." "Oh? Where are you going?" "Look for that surnamed Ling." The old man bared his teeth as he spoke, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth...
