Chapter 47 Chapter 10 Working All Day

Gao Yan approached me step by step with a ferocious smile, the machete in his hand shone with a chilling silver light, I had nowhere to retreat, and could only wait for death to come like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.However, just as I closed my eyes and waited for her to end my life, Zidie's voice sounded: "Drop your weapon and raise your hands, or I will shoot!" Opening his eyes, he saw that Zidie was holding guns in both hands, and the gun was aimed at Gao Yan.The latter was taken aback for a moment, then the machete slipped from his hand, and he slowly raised his hands.The machete landed between my legs and almost chopped off Xiao Mu, which made me break out in a cold sweat.I quickly picked up the machete, scrambled to the side of Zidie, pointed the tip of the knife at Gao Yan and shouted: "What do you want!"

"You, you want money, right? I'll give it to you, don't, don't hurt me..." Although Gao Yan stammered slightly in his answer, his tone did not give off a sense of panic. Zidie snapped: "Who wants your money, why did you attack us!" "You, aren't you thieves?" Her answer still made people feel very contrived. I suddenly realized that she wanted to kill us in the name of thieves!In order not to let her continue to pretend to be crazy, I immediately turned on the light so that she could see us clearly. After the light was turned on, she immediately showed a surprised expression: "So it's you, I thought a thief had sneaked in!"

I was too lazy to act with her, so I asked directly, "Where is Gao Qiang?" She hesitated for a moment before answering: "He, he said just now to go to the toilet, I thought he was caught by a thief." She obviously wanted to hide it, and it would be a waste to continue asking her, so I told her to open the door.She told us to wait and then go get the key.I thought she would try every means to delay the time, so as soon as she turned around, I signaled Zidie to leave from the window. After leaving Gao Qiang's house with a hidden crisis, Zi Die said to go to Gao Cai first, because Gao Qiang would probably attack him first.But we didn't know where Gaocai lived, so in the end she and I went to the fourth in-law's house to find Feifei, although she was a little displeased with it.

We ran to the fourth wife's house as quickly as possible, but when we arrived, we found that although the door was open, there was no one inside, and the lights were not on, only the dim candlelight was flickering.Just when I was worried that something bad might happen to Feifei, Granny Mei appeared before our eyes.When she saw us, she came over and asked, "Didn't you go to Gao Qiang's place? Why did you come back?" I explained to her that it was because we were worried that Feifei might have an accident, so we ran back and asked her where Feifei had gone.She frowned and said, "Feifei should be fine, she just went to rest at her aunt's house." She took us outside, pointed to a two-story house not far away, and said, "That's the one. , I just watched her go in with my own eyes, so there should be no problem."

I was relieved to know that Feifei was fine, but Zidie didn't relax and asked Grandma Mei if she knew where Gaocai lived.Granny Mei replied: "He doesn't have a house in the village, and he never stayed overnight when he came back, but this time he has to stay for a while to attend the funeral for the fourth wife, so he lives in Yu Xin's house." I asked her where Yu Xin's house was, and she pointed in the direction and said, "It's over there. I'll take you there. Anyway, it's almost dawn, and I can't sleep." , It turned out to be almost six o'clock.

Granny Mei took us to Gaocai's residence with her cane. On the way, she told us about Yu Xin: "He was originally a poor boy, but later he went to the province to work for Gaocai. It has been almost ten years now. Make some money! Two years ago, he came back to ask for a wife and built a new house, and Gao Cai lived in his new house." "Is he still working for Gao Cai now?" I asked casually. "Yeah! They came back together this time." Mei nodded, and then added: "It's strange, they didn't come back together before, I heard that someone needs to take care of the company's affairs in the provincial capital , but this time they came back together, probably because Yu Xin’s wife is helping now, and his wife also went to Gaocai’s place to work after giving birth last year.”

"Is Gao Cai not married yet?" I asked because if he was married, he could just let his wife take care of it, instead of letting his wife from the same village take care of it. Grandma Mei sighed and said: "Gao Cai is a child with a hard life. When the fourth wife was still alive, the most worrying thing about his marriage was his marriage. He was married twice, but divorced both times. It's just what happened last year." At this point, she suddenly stopped and pointed to a brand new house and said, "This is Yu Xin's house." I went to the door and wanted to ring the doorbell, but I couldn’t find it after searching for a long time. I thought that there should be no habit of installing doorbells in this remote area, so I had to use the most primitive method-knock on the door!However, I was on this iron gate, from knocking to clapping, to patting until my hands hurt, there was still no movement inside the gate.

Could it be that Gao Cai was killed?Just when I was thinking about whether I should break in, Zidie's cell phone rang, and her face changed drastically after answering the call, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "What! Gao Qiang is dead?" I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after Zidie: "What happened?" She hung up the phone in a hurry, and answered in a panic: "Gao Qiang is dead. The security team found his body in the litchi garden. Let's go and have a look now." Gao Qiang's sudden death overturned our speculation that he was the murderer, so Gao Cai and Feifei will not be in danger for the time being. The most urgent thing now is to go to the scene to understand the situation.So, let's go to retrieve the police car immediately after Mrs. Mei, and try to get to the litchi garden as soon as possible.

When we arrived outside the litchi garden, the first rays of morning light had already illuminated the sky. Xiaojun and several security guards waited in the garden anxiously, and immediately surrounded us when they saw us coming.As soon as Xiaojun stepped forward, he said to Zidie in a panic: "Director Hua, a villager passed by here just now and found the body of Village Chief Gao, and it is in this garden." "Take us to have a look first." Zidie didn't stop for a moment, and walked into the garden while talking, and I entered the litchi garden together. Although I was here last night, the light was dim so I couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly. Now I can see the whole picture of the Lychee Garden, and I can't help being surprised.There are 63 lychee trees in the whole litchi tree, which are divided into two parts, each of which is arranged in the form of bean sprouts, and the arrangement direction is opposite, which feels like a picture of Tai Chi.The strangest thing is that the center of the left part is not a lychee tree, but a clump of bamboo.

Gao Qiang's corpse was lying in front of Congshengzhu. When I was about to check the condition of the corpse, I suddenly found a simple tombstone next to Congshengzhu. When I looked carefully, it was written "The tomb of Mr. Gao Yao, who was first strictly forbidden by Gao Gong". Words, it turned out that Gao Yao was buried in his own lychee garden.Could Gao Qiang's death be related to his father's grave?After all, his body was lying in front of Gao Yao's grave. To know whether Gao Qiang's death is related to Gao Yao's tomb, the best way is of course to find the answer on the corpse.

Gao Qiang's fatal wound was on his forehead, and there were two finger-sized blood holes between his eyebrows. Like the two previous victims, the wound seemed to be poked out with a finger.Apart from this, I found no other wounds on the body.I suddenly thought of a suspicious point. Before Zidie and I speculated that Gao Qiang might be the murderer, and believed that he killed the murderer because he failed to get clues about the treasure from the deceased. However, seeing his body now, I remembered that the two deceased had no other wounds except for one fatal wound.If the murderer has ever threatened the deceased, it is impossible not to do something to him, as long as there is a physical conflict, it will inevitably leave traces.In other words, the murderer did not threaten the deceased at all, but killed the deceased immediately as soon as he made a move. Could it be that the murderer's motive for killing was not to find treasure? Just when I was deep in thought about the murderer's motive, Zidie suddenly called out: "He has a note in his hand." As he spoke, he took out a pair of gloves from his pocket and quickly put them on, breaking the clenched fists of the corpse. Kai took out the note, checked it and read: "What do you do all day long?" Then handed the note to me. I took the note and found that there were only these four characters written on it. I remembered that in Gao Yao's book, the hexagram of Qian Gua Jiusan was "A gentleman works all day long, he is vigilant at night, and there is no blame".Although I don't quite understand the meaning of the hexagrams, the deaths of the three deceased are all related to it.Feifei said that Gao Xian had muttered "Don't use Qianlong" before his death, and Gao Hao and Gao Qiang's bodies were found with notes saying "see the dragon in the field" and "work hard all day long". The first three hexagrams of Qian hexagram. I suddenly remembered that when Gao Hao's body was found, it was in the middle of the right side of the litchi garden.So he asked Zi Die where Gao Xian's body was lying when he was found.After thinking for a while, she pointed to the other side of the clump of bamboo and said, "It should be near here, anyway, as I remember, it is next to this bamboo." The lychee trees here are arranged like a picture of Taiji, and the three dead were found at the Yin and Yang poles of the picture.Could it be that they had discovered the secret of the location of the treasure and were killed because of it?In that case, the murderer must have known the exact location of the treasure, so he didn't question the dead, just to prevent them from killing them first.But assuming that the murderer already knew the location of the treasure, why didn't he just dig up the treasure, but kill again and again? Could it be that the real culprit is the fourth wife? Judging from the current situation, the fourth wife is the most suspicious, because she is the only one who doesn't care about treasures.However, with her current situation, it should be impossible to kill so cleanly.The case seems to be back to the starting point, and the current situation is even worse than when I first arrived last night. Just when his thoughts were in a mess, there was a frivolous and rude laughter behind him: "Hahaha... another one died! A good death, a good death, it would be best if all died, hahaha..." Turning around Look, a man in his thirties or forties was found driving a moped into the litchi garden, and Gao Cai was sitting on the back of the motorcycle.In my impression, Gao Cai also walked with this man last night, I think he should be Yu Xin.As they got out of the car and approached, I could smell a strong smell of alcohol, obviously because they had just had a drink. Gao Cai walked up to his brother's body, spat hard on the ground, and said through gritted teeth, "I told you a long time ago, Mother will come back to find you sooner or later!" Saying such things in front of him, and the other party is his brother. It suddenly occurred to me that three of the four wives and five children had died, leaving only Gao Cai and the youngest daughter Gao Shun who couldn't come back for the funeral due to illness.Now that Gao Cai is the only son in the family, if he finds the treasure left by Gao Yao at this time, he can inherit it logically.Assuming that he is the murderer, then the previous mysteries can be solved one by one - he already knew where the treasure was buried, and he just killed other heirs for the legal inheritance. However, according to the provisions of the "Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics", "all cultural relics left in the ground, inland water and territorial sea within the territory of our country belong to the state."If the unearthed treasure is identified as a cultural relic, then everything he has done will be in vain.That's why Gao Qiang didn't want us to intervene in the investigation after we learned about the treasure. Although there are still many things that I can't figure out, Gao Cai, as the biggest beneficiary of this case, is the most suspected, so I asked him, the time between leaving the litchi garden last night and before Gao Qiang's body was found Been there, done what, with whom. As soon as I asked, he showed a malicious expression and shouted extremely dissatisfied: "What's wrong? The suspicion is on my head! Do I need to deal with him? He will kill himself if he does so many bad things. , I will suffer sooner or later, so I will not dirty my hands for him." After finishing speaking, he lit a cigarette and smoked without looking at me. When I wanted to continue asking, Yu Xin stepped forward and interjected: "The boss was with me the whole time last night, don't try to wrong him!" "Then where did you go after you left the litchi garden?" I asked. I thought Yu Xin would say that he went home to rest, so that I could arrest them immediately, because Zi Die and I had just been to his house, and there was no one in his house.However, his answer was: "I went to drink with the boss, and I was very happy. If we didn't know that a big happy event happened here, we wouldn't want to come back so soon!" I asked him if there is still a place to drink at this time? "Damn! My boss has plenty of money, but he doesn't have a place to drink!" He casually pulled Xiaojun over, and said, "You can ask him, when will Ford's restaurant run out of wine!" Xiaojun timidly explained to me: "Ford is from our village. He opened a restaurant by the road several miles away from the village. Because he mainly does business as road drivers, he can knock on the door whenever he wants. Eat and drink." Yu Xin is Gao Cai's subordinate, and his words are not credible. To prove whether Gao Cai has an alibi, he can only go to Fude's restaurant to find out.Therefore, after dealing with the murder scene, Zidie and I pulled Xiaojun who was about to leave, and immediately went to the restaurant where there was food and drink at any time, planning to have breakfast there. On the way, I called Xueqing and asked her to help investigate Gao Cai's situation in the provincial capital.Then he called Liu Nian and told him about the fourth wife, hoping to get a medical explanation from him.
