Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Mousetrap

The dusk in autumn is no longer as long as in summer. I saw that the sky had changed and darkened very quickly, so I immediately asked Mo Feiying to make a long story short.This little devil was ignorant, so he pretended to be a secret, and refused to speak at the school gate, as if someone would eavesdrop.I let out a long sigh, so I had no choice but to ask Mo Feiying to go to the dormitory to talk, that's good, lest Wei Dabao suddenly come out and interrupt this upcoming conversation. Ouyang Xin and Liu Qin were more patient than me, so they thought it was a good omen when they encountered this incident.Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.God knows, who are we going to face tonight, maybe we really have to use swords and guns.As soon as Mo Feiying entered my dormitory, he immediately asked cautiously if anyone was following from outside.I checked before entering the door, except for Wu Lingchun who lives next door, there is no suspicious person nearby.Seeing Mo Feiying's posture, he didn't seem to be threatening, so we told him to sit down and pretended to listen carefully.

Mo Feiying saw that I was carrying the bag, raised his eyes and asked, "Teacher Tang, do you want to return the bag?" "Do you know whose box it is?" I whispered. "I don't know." Mo Feiying lowered his head and answered. "Are you afraid? Tell the teachers that there is no need to be afraid." Liu Qin encouraged. "I really don't know." Mo Feiying raised his head excitedly and said with all his might. Ouyang Xin gave us a wink, implying that we should not interrupt and just listen.Mo Feiying first struggled with his thoughts, then remained silent for a while, and finally revealed the truth to us.It turned out that when they went to Agong Wu's house to steal things that night, no one thought about stealing the keys.When Wei Dabao saw the key, he came up with a bad idea, planning to steal the mobile phone from the young teacher's dormitory.The children in the village don't have mobile phones, which are a mystery to them.That night, they took a bunch of keys to open the door, and the first door opened was my dormitory.

Originally, Wei Dabao and the others wanted to steal all three dormitories, because they saw that the teachers were taken to Principal Zhang's house by the police, and they had plenty of time.As for why he stole my dormitory first, Mo Feiying explained that there were only two teachers living in this dormitory, so the things he could steal were naturally twice that of other dormitories.I didn't dare to interrupt, I just laughed at myself in my heart, children are actually smarter than adults, is it because I am too stupid, or I trust people too easily. As Mo Feiying spoke, he lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the teacher.According to Mo Feiying, after they called the dormitory, they didn't find the mobile phone, but saw the box under the bed.The box has been opened, and they pulled it out to see, oh my god, a lot of money.Without delay, they picked up the box and ran out to a group of trees outside the village.On the way, Wang Xiaolong always said that he saw someone following him, which frightened the other two children.

After hiding them, the three children took out the contents of the box to have a look. In addition to money, lead bullets, silver coins, photos, there was also a notebook.Seeing my puzzled face, Mo Feiying explained knowingly that the notebook was under the money, and he couldn't see the existence of the notebook unless he took out all the money.However, it was dark and windy that night, they couldn't see clearly what was written in the notebook, and their attention was all attracted by money. The little ghost heads took the money and dared not go home, fearing that their parents would find out.At the same time, in order to get rid of the relationship and not be caught dirty, the three of them decided to leave the box in the woods first, and come to pick it up later.The children usually do not have Internet cafes or game halls to go to, and they often play games such as treasure hunting and war fighting, so the three of them were in favor of it at first.Until that night when they went back to their respective homes and looked for their respective mothers, an accident happened.

When Mo Feiying sneaked home, Boss Mo came to look for him and complained a little.It probably means that the police and I made a false report and have a bad style. If Boss Mo has time, he might as well arrange Mo Feiying to study in the county primary school.Mo Feiying quickly found out what had happened from his father, knowing that he was the one who got me into trouble, so he wanted to return the box that night.The next day, before Mo Feiying could speak, Wang Xiaolong first said to return the box, otherwise there might be trouble.Although Mo Feiying felt that Wang Xiaolong was a bit weird, he didn't think deeply about it yet.

After thousands of calculations, Mo Feiying didn't realize that there was one thing missing in the box, and that thing was a notebook.But Wei Dabao thought disdainfully, with so much money here, it’s no big deal to lose a notebook, and with that money, you can buy a carload of notebooks.The strange thing is that Wang Xiaolong's reaction was very violent, and he said that the notebook should not be lost, if it is lost, they will all suffer!Wang Xiaolong said whatever he wanted, but Wei Dabao didn't agree to return the box, and then the three of them fell out, and Wei Dabao divided half of the money in the box.

Wang Xiaolong was a child, after much deliberation, he still didn't dare to tell me the truth, so he thought of a way - he left the box at the door of Xiao Weihai's house, and then lied to me that he saw Xiao Weihai stole the box that night, and cast aside the responsibility Get it clean.When I heard this, I thought it's no wonder that Wang Xiaolong told me several times that he wanted me to find Xiao Weihai.When he found out that I hadn't brought the box back, Wang Xiaolong was even more anxious than me, so that the trouble has become like this today. Mo Feiying shook his head remorsefully, admitting that he was a bit greedy, and hid the other half of the money together with Wei Dabao.When they saw Wang Xiaolong jumping off the building, they remembered that Wang Xiaolong had mentioned to them the night before that if they didn't hand over all the contents of the box to Mr. Tang, they would all be beaten to death.Mo Feiying was a little shaken, and wanted to return the half of the money, but Wei Dabao still refused, until something shocking happened.Mo Feiying said frankly that besides his own despair, Wang Xiaolong's jump was also trying to deceive me, making me think it was all his and Wei Dabao's fault.In fact, the purpose of Wang Xiaolong's doing that was to get them to hand over the money, and let me face the owner of the box for him.

I was so surprised when I heard that, and saw that Mo Feiying didn't speak, so I asked, "You all returned the money, right? And what about the notebook you mentioned? Who took it? Wei Dabao?" "I don't know who took it away." Mo Feiying shook his head and said, "Anyway, it can't be the three of us. If we really want to take it, we must all take the money. Who wants the notebook." "That's true. Haven't you read what's written in the notebook?" I asked anxiously, thinking that the owner of the box was pressing so hard. If it had nothing to do with Principal Zhang's ID card, could it be because of the notebook? What important things are written in it?A broken notebook is more important than 120,000 yuan. Could it be that some shocking secret was written?

"It was too dark that night, we only looked at the money, and no one looked at the notebook. I just remember that the notebook was very worn out, and I didn't pay attention to what was written in it. Xiaolong walked around Dabao to find me several times and asked me It’s not that he took the notebook, he seems to be particularly concerned. I asked Xiaolong privately why he was so anxious, and then he said that someone was going to force him to death, and put a knife against his neck, saying that if he didn’t return the notebook and the box, he would Kill him." Mo Feiying replied in horror.

Ouyang Xin looked at me, then at Liu Qin, no one dared to tell Mo Feiying to tell the police what he just said.Now that Mo Feiying is willing to come to us, he has exhausted his courage.What's more, this kind of thing must be approved by parents, not to mention that Mo Feiying and others are guilty and dare not go to the police, and their parents will not agree, how can the scandal be publicized.This is a small village, and a little gossip can spread to every household in an instant. Do they want to hang out? I really didn't want the students to be distressed, so I said affirmatively: "Mo Feiying, the teachers returned the box right away. If you don't want others to know about these things, we will keep them secret, but don't steal anything from now on. .okay?"

Mo Feiying nodded, and stopped talking after that.Ouyang Xin looked at his watch, seeing that time was running out, and then told Mo Feiying to go home quickly.Unfortunately, I forgot to ask about the note, but that note is obviously not written by Mo Feiying or Wei Dabao, so it's better not to bother the little devil with those things, it's not easy to get him to talk so much up. When I opened the door, Mo Feiying couldn't run in case of an amnesty, and he didn't forget to tell me to keep the secret before he left.I especially understand this group of children, and I will not tell anyone these words without their instructions.However, I am very angry about the persecution of the child, and I wish I could send the owner of the box to the Public Security Bureau right now. Ouyang Xin saw that my teeth were itching with anger, and said, "I'm afraid it will rain tonight, so take three umbrellas." "And a flashlight!" Liu Qin added. "I prepared those things a long time ago. The villagers won't go out tonight. We're at the old racecourse, and they can't hear us yelling. It's too dangerous to go there empty-handed!" I said worriedly, "Don't you listen? Feiying said, the man held a knife against Wang Xiaolong's neck, who knows if he has a gun." "You don't really intend to bring a kitchen knife, do you?" Ouyang Xin asked me. I rolled my eyes, thought about it, and went to the door to look through a cardboard box.There was a withered hand hidden in the cardboard box. I put that withered hand into the box last night, and it was put into the cardboard box when I picked it up at noon today.Before, I wanted to take a picture of the box, and Liu Qin would not let his withered hands go on the table.There was nothing I could do, so I had to put my withered hands on the cardboard box, take a picture and put it in the box.The withered hand wasn't in the box at first, it should have something to do with Xiao Weihai, so I don't plan to take it away tonight, and the owner of the box certainly doesn't like to give extra gifts. However, I rummaged out the box not to take out another withered hand, but to take out three mousetrap.Speaking of which, when I first arrived in Laoma Village, I asked Grandpa Wu to go to the county to buy those three mousetraps, because there were many mice running around in the dormitory at the beginning, and I even stepped on one at night. I picked up the mousetrap and said to Liu Qin and Ouyang Xin: "Didn't that person tell us to put the box back where it was? Just right, we can't see anything at night. I don't believe he dared to show up with a flashlight, so he would be easily caught. We see the real face. Since he didn't turn on the flashlight, he will definitely not notice that there is a clip next to the box. As long as he is clipped, I can't believe he ran so fast this time. A wounded mouse...or a wounded tiger is better than It's easy to deal with without getting hurt, right?" "That's a good idea!" Liu Qin clapped her hands. "Then listen to you!" Ouyang Xin also agreed. "Time is running out, let's go to the old racecourse quickly, and get familiar with the environment there first, I haven't been there for so long, I have forgotten the terrain in the old racecourse." After I finished speaking, I closed the door, picked up my bag and walked out Racecourse Village Primary School. The autumn wind chases the sunset, and the sky is covered with dark clouds.When we walked to the old racecourse, although it was not yet seven o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark.Liu Qin still had the same virtue, saying that she was not afraid, but she turned on the flashlight before reaching the old racecourse, for fear that ghosts would jump out of her surroundings.I didn't turn on the flashlight until I arrived at the old racecourse. At this time, the signal of the mobile phone was not good, and it sometimes disappeared.Nokia mobile phones have no signal, let alone other brands of mobile phones.Ouyang Xin asked us to look for the few rows of houses in the old racecourse first, to see if there is a relatively dry house. It is better to watch secretly inside than in the haystack, and it will definitely rain tonight. I don't know what time the owner of the box will show up. After setting up the trap, Liu Qin and Ouyang Xin called me over. They have already found a stable for hiding.The wild grass in the stable was not high, and after a little sweeping, a haystack that could sit on was quickly made.I was really not in that mood, I just stood in the stable without sitting down.Although all the money in the box has been recovered, it is not known who took the notebook. If the owner of the box finds out, will he be so angry that he will kill us?I hope the mousetrap will work, and I also hope that the owner of the box can be caught this time, and the person will be seized and sent to the county public security bureau. We turned off the flashlight and waited quietly in the dark environment. Liu Qin was afraid, so she grabbed my hand and refused to let go.I stood for an hour, and the old racecourse was still quiet. I didn't sit down until my legs hurt from standing.Ouyang Xin was right next to me. As soon as I sat down, he moved to make room for him.The place where we sit is very close to the door, and the stable is also close to the box, so that it is convenient to observe the situation on the other side of the box. But we waited and waited. It was almost ten o'clock and there was no one. Liu Qin fell asleep several times.After waiting for another half an hour, I took out my mobile phone and checked. Damn, no one showed up at half past ten. Could it be that the owner of the box knew we were waiting for him, so he wanted us all to fall asleep before showing up.Or, is this just a joke and we're serious? Ouyang Xin was not as vacillating as I was. He insisted on waiting. Since the other party has drawn their knives at the elementary school students, it must be no joke.I think that's the right thing to say, so be patient.The current situation is the same as hunting, and it really takes a lot of patience to sit back and wait.Waiting and waiting, time kept moving forward, finally passed zero, the sky began to rain heavily, and a black shadow also entered the old racecourse at the same time. I held my breath, patted Liu Qin who was leaning against me awake, and whispered that someone was coming!However, that person was different from what we thought. He didn't come in the dark, but he actually turned on a flashlight.I wondered strangely, could it be that it was raining and the mountain road was rough and slippery, so I had to use a flashlight?This is also good, I can see what the owner of the box looks like from a distance.Ouyang Xin was afraid that I would scare the black shadow away, so he stood still at first, wanting to wait for the black shadow to step on the mousetrap before rushing out. I nodded and agreed, this time only success is allowed, no failure is allowed, and I definitely can't startle the snake like last time.As the shadow slowly approached, we saw the appearance of the comer clearly through the light of the flashlight.In the dark, I took a deep breath, opened my eyes wide in disbelief, and said to myself, "No way, the owner of the box is actually you?"
