Chapter 42 Chapter 5 First Encounter with the Fourth Wife

Because Gao Qiang seemed to hide some things on purpose, it was difficult to know the truth from Feifei in front of him, so I said goodbye to him first, drove away with Zidie, and then went back to find Feifei. This guy Gao Qiang is really heartless, he even let his niece leave alone with several security guards waiting by his side.Although this is a remote area and the public security situation is not bad, it is already past one o'clock in the morning, and there is not even a street light here. Isn't he afraid that Feifei will have an accident?But that's good too, at least we don't have any scruples about asking Feifei about the situation now.

Feifei probably didn't expect that we would turn around and come back to her, so she was very surprised when she saw us, and she didn't speak naturally: "Do you have anything to do with me?" I nodded and made my purpose clear: "We want to know more about Gao Xian and Gao Hao, and Gao Qiang said just now that your grandfather seems to have left something behind. Do you know what it is? If it's convenient , we also want to visit the fourth wife's house." "Now?" She was a little uneasy, and seemed reluctant to agree to my request. "If it's not convenient, we can come back tomorrow, but I hope you understand that time is precious. Now that two people have been killed, no one knows when the third victim will appear, so we must race against time." I try to keep my tone soft so that she doesn't think I'm forcing her.

Maybe, my trick is okay, she nodded and said: "Actually, it's not inconvenient, uncle and the others probably won't be going to mother-in-law's house tonight. It's just that it's already so late now, I'm afraid it will affect your rest. " After being a police officer for so many years, this is the first time a family member of a victim has said such considerate words to me.Most of the others would just urge us to arrest the murderer as soon as possible, or complain about causing them too much trouble. There are not many sensible girls like Feifei.Therefore, I can't help adding a good impression to her.

I asked Feifei to get in the car and go to the fourth wife's house together. On the way, she answered a lot of my questions, including the treasures left by her grandfather Gao Yao—— My mother went to the provincial capital to work when she was very young. She told me that it was because of my uncle.At that time, my grandfather's lychee orchard had a high output, and my grandfather was a more flexible person, so he made a lot of money.Of course, compared with the people in the city, the money is not much, but it is considered very rich here. Originally, with my grandfather's wealth at that time, my mother could sit at home without having to go out to work.But because my uncle is very fond of gambling, he often owes a lot of debts outside, and was escorted back to ask grandpa for money.Although the grandfather has said no less than ten times that he does not recognize the son of the uncle, but after all, he is his own flesh and blood, and he is the eldest son, so he can't just sit and watch him being beaten to death by debt collectors!So, I had to help him pay off his debts again and again.This is how grandpa's money made uncle lose more than half.

Later, my grandfather felt that it was not an option to go on like this. Although the income from the litchi garden was good, no matter how much money he earned, it was not enough for my uncle to gamble.Therefore, the grandfather thought of a solution, which was to help the idle uncle find a job so that he would stop thinking about gambling all day long. However, although my uncle finished junior high school, he only went fishing for three days and went to the litchi orchard to help out with nets for two days after finishing school. He didn't do anything else.Moreover, he is the kind of person who is ambitious, and he doesn't care about ordinary jobs at all. Grandpa found several jobs for him, but he only went for a day or two and quit.

Grandpa was confused by his uncle, so he asked him what kind of work he wanted to do.At that time, the previous old village head was about to retire, and the village was preparing to elect a new village head, so he told his grandfather that he wanted to be the village head. Although the village head is elected by the villagers, Qianwen Village is a small place with only about 200 people in the whole village, and everyone knows each other.At that time, most of the young villagers had gone out to work, and there were not many who could become village chiefs, so if anyone wanted to be a village chief, it would not be a problem to say hello to everyone first.However, just because everyone knew each other and what kind of person Uncle was, it was very difficult for him to choose the village chief.

In order for my uncle to become the village head, my grandfather spent a lot of thought, and of course he didn't spend less money.I heard from my mother that my grandfather almost spent his family's wealth to give gifts to the villagers.In the end, the uncle finally got his wish and became the village head, and the grandfather also spent a lot of money.Because my grandfather had no money to leave to my fourth uncle and mother who were still unmarried at the time, they had to go to the provincial capital to work one after another.Since then, the relationship between the fourth uncle and the uncle has become very bad.

I heard from my mother that the relationship between the fourth uncle and the eldest uncle was not very good. They often quarreled since they were young, and fights were not uncommon.Later, in order to help my uncle choose the village chief, my grandfather even spent all the money that he planned to leave for the fourth uncle's wedding. In a fit of anger, my fourth uncle went to work in the provincial capital with his brothers from the same village.My mother also had an awkward fight with my grandfather because of this incident, and it didn't take long for her to go out to work like the fourth uncle.

Since my uncle became the head of the village, the relationship between my fourth uncle and my grandfather has not been very good. He always said that my grandfather is too partial and all the family money is spent on my uncle.The third uncle is okay, at least he got funding from his grandfather for the marriage and helped him build a house.But the fourth uncle got almost nothing, so he didn't talk to grandpa very much every time he came back, and he only bought grandma's share when he bought things. Maybe it’s because of her daughter. My mother is not as stubborn as my fourth uncle. Although I was really angry with my grandpa in the first few years, their relationship has improved since I was born. I was still brought up by my grandpa and grandma. of.I still remember that I lived at my grandmother's house until I was six years old before going back to the city to go to school. After that, I came to visit them every Spring Festival.Until recent years, my mother's health was not very good, so I came less often.

When my grandfather was about to pass away, my mother and I also came to visit him. I was still young at the time, so I don’t remember many things clearly.However, I remember my grandfather said before he left that he buried a priceless treasure in the lychee garden, and only he and grandma knew the exact location.He also confessed to his grandmother in front of everyone that he had to wait until he was about to go to accompany him before telling everyone the exact location of this priceless treasure. Although my grandfather didn't explain clearly why he did this, but my mother told me that it was because the fourth uncle was still angry with my grandfather and didn't come to see him for the last time. My grandfather was afraid that my uncle would take all the treasures, so I didn't tell everyone. Where is the treasure hidden.My mother also said that before the first seven days after my grandfather left, my uncle secretly went to the litchi garden to find treasures.Although he searched almost the entire litchi garden, he couldn't find the treasure left by his grandfather in the end, so he angrily asked grandma if grandpa really hid the treasure in the litchi garden, and specifically where it was hidden.

At that time, my grandfather had just left, and my grandmother was still very sad. She was very angry that my uncle came to ask about the treasure at this time, and she scolded him in public.Mom and the others couldn't see it either, accusing uncle of being unfilial. Grandpa clearly said that he would not tell everyone where the treasure was buried until grandma went to accompany him, but now the first seven days have not passed, and uncle has already made up his mind about the treasure. Come. Uncle knew he was wrong, and since then, he never dared to mention the treasure... After listening to Feifei's narration, I began to understand why Gao Qiang was so enthusiastic about us at first, but then he wanted us to leave as soon as possible, because he accidentally slipped the tongue and mentioned the treasure to me.As the saying goes, "many incense burners, many ghosts", he was probably afraid that after I found out about this, the treasures would eventually be confiscated by the government.Because according to the law, everything dug out of the ground belongs to the government. Even if his father buried it as a family heirloom, the government has the right to take it into national ownership. ("Multiple incense burners, many ghosts" is a Cantonese proverb. It originally meant that one more thing would bring more trouble, but now it is usually understood as: one more person who knows something, one more person will share the harvest from it .) After dispelling the doubts about Gao Qiang, I wanted to ask Feifei about Gao Xian's situation before the accident.However, just when I was about to speak, Zidie who was sitting in the co-pilot seat suddenly pointed forward and shouted: "Be careful, someone is running out there!" I looked in the direction Zidie pointed, and saw a figure jumping out from the side of the road.Although the other party's movements were not too fast, it was already early morning and the surroundings were dark. If she hadn't reminded me, I would definitely have knocked the person into the air.I suddenly remembered the first time I met her, and it was also in this situation. At that time, she suddenly rushed out of the pine forest, hit my car headfirst, and scared me half to death. Fortunately, she reminded me this time, so I stepped on the brakes before hitting me.Because there are no street lights here, and the other party is standing in front of the police car, the headlights can only illuminate the position below her upper chest, and the other party's appearance cannot be seen clearly.But judging by her figure alone, she should be an old woman, wearing a strange and dirty suit. Zidie and I opened the car doors respectively, and were about to get out of the car to see if the old woman in front of me was injured, but Feifei suddenly shouted: "Don't get out of the car, she's wearing a shroud!" Feifei's cry shocked us a lot, and we immediately observed the old lady's clothes carefully.Although her clothes were stained and stained, but after careful identification, one could see that it was indeed a set of shrouds as Feifei said.What's more, I also found that among the lush grass on both sides of the road, I could vaguely see dirt bumps, which seemed to be graves. In the middle of the night, in a place full of tombs, an old woman in a shroud suddenly appeared, it was really a scalp-numbing thing. "Why is she running around wearing a shroud in the middle of the night, ah..." Zi Die screamed in horror, because the old woman suddenly rushed to her side, as if she wanted to attack her. I hurriedly asked her to close the car door, but the door seemed to be stuck by something, and she did not close it tightly after closing it several times.Just when she was about to push the car door and close it again, the sound of a heavy object hitting the car door sounded, and a terrifying scene immediately unfolded before her eyes. With the help of the dim light of the carriage lights, I could see the creepy face outside the car window, a terrifying face half human and half cat.The right half of this face is normal, like a listless old lady, but the left half is scary.The left half of her face turned out to be like a cat, and it was a furious cat, almost without cat hair.I think she is the fourth wife who took two lives in succession, and now she seems to want to include us in her killing list. The fourth wife hit the car door with her body for a while, then scratched the car window with both hands, and even wanted to bite the car door.Although the car door was not closed tightly, she didn't seem to know how to open the car door. Her behavior was completely irrational, like a wild animal, as if she had no ability to think. Although she doesn't know how to open the car door, her beast-like strength is enough to scare us. Every time she hits the car door, the whole police car can shake. If this continues, I'm afraid the police car will be knocked over by her sooner or later.My worries seemed futile, though, as she would have smashed the windows of the police car before she knocked it over. She scratched and bit the car window again, and after scratching for a while, she actually made a crack, and she didn't seem to be as stupid as I imagined. After discovering the crack in the car window, she began to beat the car window violently with both hands.As she knocked, there were more and more cracks in the car window. Although the explosion-proof film could prevent the glass from shattering, it would be a matter of time before the entire car window was smashed down by her.Seeing that the car window was about to fall, Zidie was at a loss for a moment, and stopped holding the car door, and retreated towards me in panic. In a narrow carriage, being pressed under by a beautiful woman is actually quite a wonderful feeling.In normal times, I would definitely enjoy this wonderful moment, but now catastrophe is imminent!The car door has not been closed, and the window will be smashed by the fourth wife soon, I am still in the mood to enjoy this poetic scene. There is only a palm-sized space in the carriage, and we don't have anything that can be used as a cover. If the fourth wife gets in, the consequences will be unimaginable.Now the only thing I can rely on is the pistol on Zidie's waist. Anyway, she has already sat on me, and I don't care about the difference between men and women, so I directly reach out to her waist to explore.After feeling the softness of her delicate body a few times, I finally pulled out the pistol, but when I pointed the pistol at the fourth wife and pulled the trigger, I found that there was no bullet! "Here are the bullets." Zidie hurriedly took out three bullets from the holster and handed them to me. As soon as I removed the magazine, before I had time to load the bullets, Feifei suddenly rushed forward from the back seat, shouted "no" and reached out to knock down the magazine and bullets in my hand.Before I came back to my senses, I heard a "bang", the car window had been smashed down by the fourth wife and fell on the passenger seat, and her terrifying claws like dead branches were stretching towards us.
