Chapter 16 Chapter Fourteen

When we arrived at Juli Village, the traffic on the road was thinning out, so Na Lan quickly asked the driver to keep a sufficient distance from the car in front. Sure enough, the Lincoln car stopped on the side of the county road, almost where it parked in the afternoon.Na Lan also asked the driver to stop the car far away and turned off the lights.The driver found it strange, but he was happy to obey Nalan's promise of a lot of money. Three black figures emerged from the Lincoln car and walked towards Kuang's cemetery.After the three of them disappeared from view, Na Lan paid and got out of the car.

Under the moonlight, Na Lan soon saw the three figures again. They were not walking too fast, but they were not slow either.One of the figures can be easily recognized, Deng Qichang's broad-shouldered entourage, he seems to be carrying something on his shoulders, making his body even more huge, like a wild beast.The other two were not easy to recognize, but from their walking gait, Nalan was almost sure that there was no lame Deng Qichang among them. The three walked in silence, as if unwilling to break the silence around them.Nalan noticed again that when she got off the car just now, she could still hear the insects whispering in the shadows of the trees in the field, but the closer she got to the cemetery, the sound disappeared at all.She tried her best to keep her footsteps in line with the frequency of the three people in front of her, so as not to make any incompatible noises.Fortunately, walking all the way, until they passed the archway of "Kuang's Yin Soil", none of the three people in front of them looked back.

Why visit the cemetery late at night? Why stop at that tomb? After a shovel, Na Lan's guess was finally confirmed.They are digging the tomb of Kuang Yihui's clothes. Although Na Lan had such an unfounded guess, and even had the absurd idea of ​​digging the tomb himself, seeing the shovel being turned at this moment, she still shivered. For some reason, she thought of Kuang Jinghui, if the first person in Lingnan knew that his daughter's grave had been dug up by an old friend, how would he feel? She hid behind a banyan tree, and carefully identified the three figures by the moonlight.It is the silent broad-shouldered entourage who is digging hard, and the silence remains the same.The other two, one fat and one thin.The thin one looked familiar to her, and when she opened her mouth, she immediately recognized it was Fan Yuan.

"Our boss is not fully aware of this matter and will not support it, so please don't mention it to anyone, including your family." The fatter man said, "You know, my wife passed away last year. I'm a widow, and I don't have anyone to talk to. Besides, I don't take this job once or twice. You should have heard of my reputation." "It sounded like the man was getting old, and Nalan could hear his heavy breathing between his words even though he was far away. "Also, if the coffin is turned over, there may be no bones at all..." "It's not that this has never happened before. We often encountered it in handling cases before."

It sounds like this person has experience in law enforcement. Why is he involved in this right and wrong? "How many years did Mr. Qu work in the police?" "For thirty-five years, Boss Fan hasn't read my blog? My website?" Elder Qu seemed to be about to copy the URL to Fan Yuan immediately. Nalan thought of what Fan Yuan said earlier: It's time to learn how to surf the Internet.Sure enough, Fan Yuan said: "I'm ashamed, no, I'm outdated, maybe it's time to learn how to go online. However, Qu Lao's reputation has already been heard among the people. It is said that there are several public security-themed film and television dramas based on Qu Lao. Made for a prototype?"

"And no royalties paid!" Can't tell whether Qu Lao is joking or serious. "Otherwise, Mr. Qu won't be so embarrassing in Macau." Fan Yuan smiled, "Before you go back to the casino, please say hello to me. We can help you negotiate debts, at least they won't let you account freeze." Mr. Qu must be an old criminal investigator, but he is not guaranteed at the end of the day and owes a huge amount of gambling debts, so he has today's night job. "Then please... I also understand that if Kuang Jinghui knows about this, our life will be more embarrassing and sad than not being able to spend the gambling money." There is something in the old Qu saying that we are grasshoppers on the same rope , helping each other is actually the best policy.

Nalan's heart trembled: Should I go away quietly? Then he returned to Jiangjing and was followed and hunted down? Fan Yuan laughed dryly, and changed the topic: "Have you seen many tombstones without dates?" "Not many. But this tomb, although there is no date marked on the tombstone, it can be seen that it has been established for more than a day or two." Old Qu turned on his flashlight and shone on the tombstone. Fan Yuan let out an "oh" and looked at Elder Qu, wishing that the anticipation that he had heard in detail must be written on his face. "In recent years, most of the engravings or carved relief images on tombstones use computer and laser stone carving technology, which saves time, labor and money. However, Kuang Jinghui will not be satisfied with using this so-called 'new technology', which is really effective. People with high taste and status will still hire skilled craftsmen to do manual carvings. Boss Fan, you are very knowledgeable, so you must be able to recognize the characters on the tombstone, right?"

Fan Yuan didn't even look at the tombstone, and blurted out: "Yu style, Yu Shinan style, it's really rare." "That's why I said, people with good taste..." "Boss Kuang's elegance is not a secret." Fan Yuan's tone was a little impatient. "That's right. In the south of the Lingnan area, there is only one stone carving craftsman who can write and carve vividly with one hand. Li Ziwen. Said, 100% is Li Ziwen's masterpiece." Fan Yuan asked: "Could it be that Li Ziwen buried some secret code for the date? What do you mean by the date..."

"Li Ziwen died two years ago." The cemetery was silent again, only the sound of shovels shoveling dirt.The broad-shouldered entourage is undoubtedly made of steel, or an alien god of war. He dug the earth and still did not slack off. Finally, Fan Yuan said, "You mean, this tomb has been standing for at least two years?" It's a question, more like a conclusion. Nalan felt even more incredible.Two years ago, Kuang Yihui disappeared for only one year, and her parents who loved her so much hurriedly set up a grave to commemorate her? Fan Yuan said: "Old Qu, his reputation is well-deserved, I admire him."

Qu Lao wanted to be humble but couldn't be modest and said: "Small skills, all rely on years of working in this industry. But even if you don't read the inscriptions, you can roughly see it from the soil and vegetation in front of the tomb, but it takes more time to analyze. " Fan Yuan said: "The time for analysis has come." The two old gentlemen took a step forward, and Nalan guessed that the broad-shouldered attendants had dug up some important objects. Fan Yuan said again: "Open it." Could it be a coffin? There was silence. Qu Lao squatted down, probed, and the LED flashlight, with white and dazzling light, shone on the tomb.

Fan Yuan stood in a daze for a while, rubbing his temples from time to time, and finally said: "It seems that we guessed right, Kuang Yihui is really dead, at least Mr. Kuang is very sure, that's why...that's why this...clothes mound was set up. It's finally possible Understand the meaning of 'tomb relatives are far away' on this tombstone." Qu Lao said: "A rag doll, a roll of three good student certificates, and a pair of women's swimming caps." It seems that there are some memorials buried under the tomb, which means that this is a well-dressed mound, and the person who stood upright, of course, is Kwong Jinghui. He must have enough reasons to believe that Kwong Yihui is dead, so there is such a commemoration. Fan Yuan said to himself: "But, where is Miss Kuang's body? Why only set up a clothes grave here?" Elder Qu sneered and said, "It's very simple. It means that Elder Kuang didn't want outsiders to know the real news of his daughter's death, so he used the epitaph to hide his head and set up a tomb." Fan Yuan suddenly turned his head and raised his voice, "Miss, did you hear everything clearly?" Na Lan was sent back to the hotel by the Lincoln car, without saying a word on the way. "Miss, you don't seem to be interested in knowing. Why did we make such a deliberate decision to exhume the tomb for an autopsy...Although it was only confirmed, this is a tomb?" Fan Yuan seemed to be trying to find a topic to break the silence. Nalan said: "It has nothing to do with me. Besides, I also roughly know the reason." "Oh?" "You want to confirm Kuang Yihui's death, so that your Mr. Deng can give up completely—although you and Mr. Deng didn't say anything, but I think Mr. Deng has been wandering away for the past two years, most of which is still looking for Kwong Yihui. After confirming the news of his death, maybe he can change his mind, abandon distracting thoughts, and return to Guangdong to inherit his father's business." Fan Yuan said: "Miss, you are truly a heavenly being!" Nalan said: "It's too much. I'm an ordinary person, even a silly girl. Otherwise, I wouldn't be caught in such a deep dispute." "Right and wrong, the most frightening thing is not knowing which is right and which is wrong." "And everyone has their own agenda...including me." "That lady just wants to get rid of the inexplicable danger, there is nothing wrong with it... Where is the lady high?" Na Lan knew that in one afternoon, Fan Yuan had enough time to check out his not-so-complicated and secret background. At this moment, he was probably pretending to be confused, and simply accompanied him, saying: "I just graduated from university and am going to graduate school. .” "Actually, if you are interested in going south, the Deng Corporation is eager for talents, and there must be a position suitable for that lady. Graduate students, if you are interested, you can still study in the future. That lady is really a rare talent. To be honest, I've never seen such a good 'interview'." To keep me is to keep all the secrets.Nalan smiled and said, "Thank you for your attention. I'd better not make my mentor angry. But I promise, I will immediately forget everything I heard and saw today." Fan Yuan sighed, expressing regret, and at the same time handed over a business card: "It's a pity. However, if the young lady changes her mind, she can contact me at any time." After Nalan thanked her, she didn't say anything more, she just felt that this trip to Lingnan might be a mistake. "Nalan, as your friend and teacher, I advise you again to stop this investigation!" Bayusheng said in an almost pleading tone when he received the call from Nalan. "But if I don't check it out, someone will follow me endlessly, and even kill me!" "I can arrange for someone to protect you. You are the person who discovered Ning Yuxin's body, and you are eligible for special protection from the police." "But, how long will this go on? Moreover, even if someone protects us, we are in the open and others are in the dark. Maybe the police's life will be in vain." Na Lan recalled what happened in the middle school building that night, and chased her down. The people are actually very professional. "But if you continue like this, you will only put yourself in a more dangerous situation. You also have to give us some trust." Na Lan wants to say, just look at the headlines in the newspapers, and you will know how busy you are. The smoke of the anti-black guns has not cleared, serial robberies and murders in hotels, and heartless gangsters broke into elementary schools with knives... You are tired of coping with the emergencies that come one after another and more For a big case, if you don't sleep for 24 hours, you may not be able to devote much energy to Ning Yuxin's case.How much time do you have left to find your girlfriend who has been missing for ten years? She said: "Recently, I discovered that from the perspective of a non-professional, there can be some special discoveries." She mentioned Kwong Yi Hui's tomb. Bayusheng was silent for a while: "This is a clue that cannot be ignored. It shows that Kuang Jinghui may know something about his daughter's disappearance, and it must not be good news. But, if you tell me this, I'm not afraid that Deng Qichang and the others may think it's wrong. Are you talking too much? Even Kuang Jinghui..." "Of course I'm afraid. I'm afraid even more. I've been afraid since I was in Jiangjing. I've been afraid since before Ning Yuxin was killed. So I disfigured myself. Now every time I look in the mirror, I will be knocked down by lightning." .” Bayu Sheng sighed: "It seems that you..." "If Ning Yuxin's case is not investigated, I will never be able to live a 'normal' life and never have real freedom." "What if I force you to protect you?" "You'll regret it later. I'm starting to get the feeling that the intricacies of this are beyond the imagination of the most complex brain. I have the advantage of staying underground, in the dark." Bayusheng was silent for a while: "I always thought that I was the most stubborn person in the world." It was a complete compromise. "I thought I was the one," Nalan looked down at a piece of paper on the table. "It's only now that I know it's really a frog in a well." On the paper was a string of names that made her feel like a frog in a well: Kuang Jinghui, Deng Qichang, Deng Xiao, Fan Yuan, Ning Yuxin, Kuang Yihui. Finally, after a long distance, it was Qinhuai. Qin Huai, Deception is tireless, of course it is also a kind of stubbornness.
