Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Hard Disk

I looked back in horror, there was no light in the forest, and I couldn't see clearly for a while.People who appear in this kind of place are either curious like me, or have serious problems.I frowned for a while, only to realize that the person standing behind was Liu Qin, who looked at me more confusedly than I did. "You... didn't you enter the temple?" I said incoherently, "The person just now wasn't you?" "Who? Are you following me?" Liu Qin looked aggrieved. "Who is following you!" I explained blushingly, "I'm worried about you!"

I can't even fool myself for this reason, let alone Liu Qin.However, it was late at night, and Liu Qin came to such a place, and she didn't have the nerve to refute me.We looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to speak, when a person rushed out from the Earth Temple.Liu Qin was standing behind me, just in time to see it, she yelled suddenly, don't be afraid, and then ran out.I hurriedly turned around and chased after him, but the man ran so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye. There is no light in the woods, and it is difficult to catch up if you run far, unless the opponent walks slowly.Liu Qin was anxious to chase into the depths of the forest. I was afraid of meeting Lin Huo or someone else, so I quickly caught her.It turned out that the person I saw just now was not Liu Qin, but another person.What did that person walk into the Earth Temple, and why did he run away when he heard our voices?When I had doubts in my heart, Liu Qin let out a long sigh, took my hand and asked me to come with her.

Now that everyone understood, I turned on the flashlight and walked into the earth temple with Liu Qin.Today, the moss in the Earth Temple has turned yellow, the clay sculptures have cracked a few petals, and a few moldy tangerines have fallen to the ground, giving off a slightly fermented smell.I took a look at this small temple with a flashlight, feeling apprehensive, and wanted to ask Liu Qin if he had been bewitched by an evil spirit and why he brought me to the Earth Temple.At first, I thought wildly, thinking that Liu Qin was transformed by the land father-in-law, and he was about to transform soon.Unexpectedly, Liu Qin got down on her stomach and turned around under the altar.

"What are you looking for?" I bent down and asked while watching. Although the statue fell down, the altar was fine. Liu Qin turned around for a while and took out a black travel bag, which was covered in dust and was dirty.I looked around in surprise, thinking that there was something good in the earth temple, but I didn't find it when I came back.Whose bag is it? Could it be Zhao Xiyue's, who didn't have time to take it away before she ran away?Liu Qin took the bag out from under the altar, put it on the altar, and asked me to take a look with the flashlight. "This is..." I stepped forward and asked confusedly.

"This is my stuff." Liu Qin said to me with a bitter face, "Do you think I stole something? Like Bao Zhupo? I dare not tell you, because these things are mine. dad……" I was dumbfounded when I heard that, I didn't expect Liu Qin to come here in the middle of the night because she had something hidden here.Liu Qin had a sad face and tears in her eyes, as if I was bullying her.Then, Liu Qin told me that her parents had been investigated about their financial status before they went to prison, and that these things were told her to hide elsewhere beforehand, and they belonged to stolen goods.The bag contained a THINKPAD laptop, 10,000 cash, some jewelry and precious incense.These things should have been turned in, but her parents were afraid that their daughter would not rely on them, so they thought of a way and moved some things out.Liu Qin was afraid of being found out, so she never dared to keep her things with her. Even in a remote mountain village, she hid her things outside the dormitory.

"After I hid my things here, I haven't been here for a long time. You met Zhao Xiyue that day. I was afraid that there might be some problems. I came here once in the middle of the night..." Liu Qin said in a low voice, "I just came to Machang Village. Principal, he said that the place closest to the village and least visited by people is the Earth Temple, so..." "How many times have you been here?" I asked suspiciously. "Four or five times, I don't remember." Liu Qin replied with her head bowed. "Laptop..." I looked into the opened black bag and asked hesitantly, "Are you sure no one knows you put the bag here?"

Liu Qin looked troubled, hesitated for a moment, and then told me that she was not sure.Last week, I found the memory card. Liu Qin wanted to tell me several times that she has a laptop and can directly release the contents of the memory card.However, those things were stolen goods. Before her parents went to prison, they had warned her never to take them out casually, unless they had no money to eat, then they could exchange them for money.Liu Qin didn't touch the contents of the bag at all, but when she came back from the county seat last Saturday, she found that I had slipped out at night, so she wanted to take the opportunity to back up the files on the memory card to her notebook as a precautionary measure.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qin sneaked into the Earth Temple that night and found that the laptop could not be started because the hard drive was taken away!In the past few days, Liu Qin went out from time to time just to get back the hard drive.However, there is cash in the bag, since someone found out, why not just steal the money, or take the entire laptop and just steal the hard drive?Liu Qin felt weird, so she guarded the corner of the woods several times, trying to catch the thief who stole the hard drive, but to no avail. "I heard you say that the memory card was changed today. No one else in the village has a computer except me. I just came here tonight to see if the hard drive was returned." Liu Qin said guiltily.

"So that's the case." I felt even more guilty, "I really shouldn't doubt you, but you should have said this earlier." "My parents were reported by their best friends. When that person was in trouble, they helped him. Before my parents were arrested, they told me that no one could be trusted, even their best friends... Actually I don't want to lie to you either." Liu Qin still lowered her head. "Don't be sad. Didn't we see someone running in just now? That person should be the one who stole the hard drive." I said while looking outside the temple.

"Who is that person? I didn't see it! But the things have been stolen, what is that person doing here? It seems that there is nothing missing in the bag except the hard drive." Liu Qin was puzzled. "It's okay, you don't need to be nervous." I tried to comfort Liu Qin calmly, and said, "It seems that someone knows that I won't let go, and has to investigate all the way. Someone deliberately led me to think that there is a ghost among my friends, and let me I suspect that you are making a name for yourself. We have such a good relationship now, if you find out that you are an insider, maybe this matter will be forgotten. In this way, the matter will calm down, and you will be used as a scapegoat, which is the best of both worlds!"

"You mean..." Liu Qin said dumbfounded, "Someone came just now to put the hard disk back in, plant me, and let you catch me?" "That's what I thought, but only you and I know about it, who can set a trap earlier?" I said suspiciously, "It's impossible for the owner of the Internet cafe to spy on me, so come and make trouble." "If that person wanted to frame me, why didn't he keep the hard drive in the first place? Isn't it superfluous to put it back now?" Liu Qin couldn't figure it out. I patiently explained: "Because a few days ago, I didn't doubt you at all, and I didn't find out that there was a problem with the memory card. That person must not have thought of this detail. When I found out, he would frame you. If I guessed wrong Wrong, that person is not very proficient in computers, he only knows how to remove the hard disk, so as not to leave operation traces or cached files in it. Before Jiang Lin disappeared, she vowed to go to the police. She must be fully sure that the police will not Think she's lying. It means there's something more important on the memory card, but someone took your computer and wiped it." "That's strange. You just now know that I have a computer. Who came here before you." After Liu Qin finished speaking, she probed outside the temple, and there was no ghost in the dark woods. "You have been followed by me for so long before you found me, maybe you have been targeted by other people before." I am not surprised. Liu Qin didn't make a sound anymore, and blamed herself for being careless guiltily. She dared to put her bag under the altar even though her things had been stolen.I patted Liu Qin on the shoulder and told her not to blame herself. Although the mountains and forests are huge, there is no shelter from the wind and rain except the altar of the Earth Temple. Of course, the bag should be placed here.It can't be sent all the way to the old racecourse.In short, the hard drive was removed, and it was useless for us to regret it. We had to ask Liu Qin to hide the things, otherwise the 10,000 yuan would be lost. With a flashlight on, I climbed up to the altar, asked Liu Qin to bring the bag, and then stuffed it on the beam.There used to be things like spiritual talismans hanging on it, and there have been many spider webs. If you don't look up and look carefully, it's hard to find something weird on it.Seeing that I didn't blame her, Liu Qin gratefully said that she would never lie to me again and would tell me everything.I hurriedly told Liu Qin not to get excited, because she had a reason for concealing it, and I had doubted her before, and it was no better than her. "Since someone deliberately made you doubt your friends and wanted to let this matter go, you must not think so." Liu Qin said seriously, "I think similar things happened to Jiang Lin and Fang Fangfang. It’s just that someone is repeating the old plan. That person wants to force you to not bear to investigate, so we will continue to investigate.” "That's what I said, but that person is too amazing. I don't understand why he always takes the lead." I jumped off the altar and said, "I won't talk about other things. That night I went to the cemetery alone to see Lin Huo, but I didn’t tell anyone about it, so no one should leak it. But Lin Huo was able to beat me and ambush me there, it’s incredible." "Then let's go back to the dormitory and check. Maybe someone has installed a pinhole camera to monitor us." Liu Qin said sensitively, "My parents said that someone used to monitor them in this way to investigate some things..." "The dormitory is so big and there are not many things. Where can I install the camera? You watch too many movies." I don't care. The camera is too exaggerated, which is impossible. Liu Qin and I hid our things, walked out of the woods, and returned to the village.At this time, my mobile phone started to vibrate. I took it out and saw that the person calling was Bao Zhupo.I stopped in my tracks, and only after I got through the phone did I realize that Bao Zhupo was still waiting for me to get Jiang Lin's belongings.It was very late, and I was worried that Liu Qin would walk back to the elementary school dormitory at the head of the village alone, so I took her to Bao Zhu's house together. After walking for less than a minute, the steamed stuffed bun shop was in front of us. The outside lights were off, but the inner room was still on.Bao Zhuba thought I was the only one coming, but when she saw Liu Qin also came, she was very happy, and immediately took out the apples she bought in the county today and asked Liu Qin to eat them.I'm not interested in apples, so I just looked at a cardboard box on the table.It was a box for shoes, all black, and it was a miscellaneous brand sold in the county market. After Bao Zhuba washed the apples and handed them to Liu Qin, she said with satisfaction: "That's what Jiang Lin's parents threw in the garbage dump at the village head. You can take a look. But, I'm I can't see the problem." After finishing speaking, Bao Zhupo was afraid that I could not see clearly, so she turned on another lamp in the room.I sat down, opened the box, and didn't hold out much hope.If the contents of the box can be finalized, then Jiang Lin's parents will not throw them away casually.Sure enough, after I opened it, the contents inside were nothing more than mirrors, combs, receipts, cups, cosmetics, etc., none of which could be linked to the case.Liu Qin sat by the side and ate apples, watched while eating, and took a picture with a mirror.I grabbed the scattered receipts and glanced at them. They were all receipts for Jiang Lin to buy certificates, pencils, and notebooks for the school. These must be kept. Every teacher does that. Looking at it, I thought there was nothing to gain, but unexpectedly, a special receipt jumped into my eyes. "This is... Liu Qin, look!" I said excitedly, and took out the receipt. Liu Qin was eating an apple, and when she saw the receipt, she got stuck and was speechless for a long time.
