It took about ten seconds before Huang Tang could speak.His voice was bitter, as if he was begging: "I'll talk about it when I go back, I'll talk about it when I go back, okay?" Although Huang Er's expression was dissatisfied, he didn't push his brother any more. He stomped his feet heavily and said, "Why are you doing this?" Huang Tang still said the same thing: "We'll talk about it when we go back." Looking at Huang Er's situation, it seemed that Huang Tang had made a big mistake, which made him extremely angry, but he was based on the fact that Huang Tang was his elder brother, so it was inconvenient for him to have an attack.He clenched his fists tightly with both hands, but he had no clue of what to do.

Here, what I don't understand is: everyone knows the relationship between Boss Bai and us, why Huang Er didn't know when he and his mother were so at odds?What I don't understand is: why did Huang Tang hide this well-known fact from his brother and mother?What is so strange about this is really intriguing. Huang Tang still lowered his head and kept silent, Huang Er asked nervously: "Is Mr. Bai already passed away?" As soon as he said this, I, Bai Su and Hong Ling shouted in unison: "Nonsense!" Although Huang Er was reprimanded, his face was full of joy and he danced his hands and danced: "Great, wonderful! Where is the old man? Please come out and meet him."

Bai Su smiled and said: "He's not here, if you want to see him, you have to come—" At the end of the sentence, Huang Tang yelled: "Stop talking! I will never let mother go to see Boss Bai ! No, not even death!" He screamed hoarsely, his face was flushed, and he looked like he would really try his best to prevent his family from meeting Boss Bai.I was extremely puzzled, looked at Bai Su, she also shook her head, expressing that she didn't know the reason. Huang Er jumped: "But mother said that there is an important matter and I need to discuss it with Boss Bai. She also said that this matter is not trivial, and there is no one else to discuss with Boss Bai except for Boss Bai!"

Huang Tang waved his hands vigorously: "Listen to me, that's right, these people can't work together, it's because I trust them too much, that's why I ended up dying. I can't look at my mother and follow me!" When he said this, Bai Su and I were very disgusted.I sneered again and again: "Even if we are sorry for you, the blame cannot be placed on Boss Bai." Bai Su was also angry: "Don't offend his old man. Maybe the matter Ling Tang wants to discuss with him is really very important." Huang Er echoed: "Yeah──" He only said two words, and Huang Tang cursed: "What is it? What do you know?" Huang Er didn't take it seriously: "I don't know anything. , Asked thousands of times, Mother refused to tell. Did she tell you?" Huang Tang avoided answering this question.Huang said again: "Mother is so anxious to find Boss Bai, there must be a reason. As sons, we must do our best."

Huang Tang was anxious and angry at the same time, he raised his hand as if to hit someone, but he stomped his feet and did not strike.Beads of sweat were dripping from his head, his face turned blue and red, obviously he was extremely anxious. Seeing him like this, Bai Su and I were very surprised.Huang Er went over to wipe his sweat with his hands.Huang Tang took advantage of the situation and grabbed his younger brother's hand, his voice became hoarse: "Brother, you and mother have always been ignorant of human fireworks, how could you know that people are treacherous and the world is dangerous, listen to me, there will be nothing wrong."

When Huang Er heard it, he laughed loudly: "You say that I am ignorant of world affairs, and I don't think I can deny it. But, how could mother be? She is an old man with a lot of troubles, what has not happened? The Japanese devils and the Peace Army, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, bandits Strong──" He said it in one breath, and Bai Su and I looked at each other, and for a moment, I couldn't figure out who he was talking about. In fact, of course we know who he is talking about—that is Mrs. Huang who is knowledgeable in our minds, the mother of Huang Er and Huang Tang.However, Huang Er actually used such words to describe his mother, which is really incredible.

If you look at it in this way, what kind of character should this Mrs. Huang be?There were more and more questions in my heart, and I was about to ask for clarification, but things changed unexpectedly. Huang Er spoke in one breath, and before he finished speaking, Huang Tang yelled, suddenly bent his knees, and knelt down straight to Huang Er. This sudden change made Huang extremely overwhelmed.He waved his hands wildly at first, and then he also knelt down with a "boom", turning into two brothers, kneeling opposite each other. At this time, the muscles on Huang Tang's face twitched, his expression extremely painful, and suddenly, tears flowed down like rain.As he cried, he said, "I am mother's son and your elder brother. We are flesh and blood, heart-to-heart, and blood-to-blood relatives. No matter what I say, I will not harm you..." He has already I couldn't make a sound, and my whole body was shaking.Huang Er rushed forward, hugged him, and burst into tears, shouting: "No, of course you won't harm us!"

In this situation, Bai Su and I really don't know what to say.If we contradict Huang Tang again, it will become a challenge to the feelings between their brothers.So, we had to watch from the sidelines. Seeing this situation, Hong Ling was surprised. She walked towards the two of them, Bai Su hurried over to grab her.Hong Ling asked: "What's the matter with them?" Bai Su shook his head: "I still don't understand—" She was talking like this, and Huang Tang also spoke again: "You don't understand now, but you will definitely know in the future I recently had an accident, and I have to hide it from you all. I am worried all day long, lest my mother will find out about Boss Bai. This life is not human. If you force me again, I will die in front of you. !"

Huang Er burst into tears. We have experienced his crying before, but this time it was worse than last time.He is a man of temperament, Huang Tang's words are indeed heartbreaking, so the two of them hugged each other and cried, it seemed that it was difficult to stop for a while. The doubts in my heart are getting worse and worse, I don’t know how many questions I have to think about, but in such a situation, how do I speak?I became anxious and wanted to walk over to pull them away, but Bai Su made a gesture to me, indicating that I should be calm, so I endured it.At this time, my thoughts were very disordered, many problems piled up, and I couldn't figure out a clue.

Bai Suo also had a knot between her brows, obviously she didn't understand what was going on. The two cried for a long time, and Huang Er said in a hoarse voice: "I don't force you, I don't force you, let's go back. Just pretend that we have never heard of anything." Things have suddenly developed to this point, although it is understandable, but I cannot accept it. I said loudly: "It can't be like this!" Huang Tang stood up abruptly, he might have been kneeling for too long, and he got up in such a hurry that he couldn't stand upright, and almost fell to the ground again, Huang Er hurriedly helped him up.

Huang Tang pointed at me and said sharply, "Wesley! Keep your meddling in your business! You should also accumulate some virtue, not for yourself, but also for your daughter!" This is extremely serious.I couldn't help but change my face: "Okay! What did I do to prolong it for three generations?" Huang Tang immediately replied: "You stretch your hands too far, and your grip is too wide!" Bai Su was very aggrieved: "It is Lingtang who wants to find my father, you have to find out." Huang Tang said loudly: "No more! No more! No more!" Originally, I felt sorry for him in my heart, but at this time, it has been greatly reduced.I sneered and said, "It doesn't count if you say it, but I think it counts when Lingtang says it!" When the situation has reached this point, it can be regarded as the opposite.At this time, Huang Er came out to smooth things over. He bowed to Bai Su and me: "Everyone, stop talking, why are you arguing like children?" I was angry and funny, but he himself behaved childishly, but instead said we were like children.I hate to sigh, because although Huang Tang and I are not close friends, we can still be regarded as friends. Now that this is happening, it is really boring. At this time, Huang Tang pulled Huang and walked out. I was discouraged and waved my hand, meaning: If you want to go, just go! The two quickly left the door, and the roar of a sports car came from outside the door, and they went away in a blink of an eye. After they left, I felt very tired and sat down without making a sound.Hong Ling was very understanding and poured me a full glass of wine. I drank three gulps before letting out a sigh of relief: "For no reason, I got angry for no reason!" Bai Suo raised his eyebrows: "It's not unreasonable, at least it has something to do with Dad." I leaned forward: "Look, what is the name of their mother?" Bai Su didn't answer, but said: "Let's organize things first, then we can sort out a clue." I thought about it, and things are actually not very complicated.The key is Huang Tang's mother and younger brother: these two seem to have been living in a place with few people—Huang Tang once described it as "not eating the fireworks of the world".This can be seen from Huang Er's behavior. However, the situation with their mother was different. Assuming that Huang Er and his mother were hermits, then the old lady must not have been an ordinary person before she went into seclusion—Huang Er once used many strange-sounding words to describe his mother.It is very important to understand this first.Because it was this old lady who was looking for Boss Bai. I said the points I sorted out, and Bai Su nodded in agreement.I stretched my waist: "The core of the question is: what important matter does this old lady have that she must discuss with Boss Bai?" Bai Su added: "The second core is: Why did Huang Tang try his best to stop it?" I also agree that this is a critical issue, and my supplementary date is: "Huang Tang's block, I don't think it has anything to do with what happened recently." Bai Su thought about it for a while: "His mother seems to be in favor of him absconding?" There is no doubt about this, because Huang Er's words about "doing nothing" were clearly taught by his mother. I said: "It's so strange - after going around, the question is: what kind of person is his mother?" Bai Su smiled: "Why did she find her father?" I thought for a while, and stood up: "First Change the wet clothes, I have an idea." Bai Su smiled and said, "It's nothing more than a forced meeting!" I laughed out loud: "That's right, do you have a better way?" Bai Su said: "Why do you ask to see her?" I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, I stretched out my hand and hit myself on the head.Bai Su is right, the other party is anxious to find Boss Bai, so she should come to see us.However, judging from the situation of the two brothers just now, they will definitely not tell the old lady about the news of Boss Bai.Then what we have to do is to let her know that Boss Bai is not hard to find—just come and see us first. When I thought of this, I asked: "Publish in the newspaper, or broadcast?" Bai Su shook his head: "If the old lady lives in seclusion for a long time, she won't have the habit of contacting the outside world, so it's useless." Bai Su is right, so I still have to go and meet the old lady before I can tell her about Boss Bai. I said this, and Bai Su shook his head again: "Since the two brothers intend to deceive the old lady, they must try their best to prevent you from seeing her, so why bother with them again?" I smiled and said: "You have Goodbye, please speak quickly." Bai Su didn't say anything, but looked towards Hong Ling.Hong Ling pointed at the tip of her nose, with a puzzled expression, Bai Su said, "I'll borrow your condor." When Bai Su and I were discussing, Hong Ling was always by my side, so when Bai Su said it, she immediately knew what it meant.She let out a long howl first, and then shouted: "Great! Condor will definitely live up to the trust." While speaking, a gust of wind passed by, and the condor appeared out of nowhere, and landed on Hong Ling's shoulder, looking graceful and incomparable. This is of course a good idea—as long as the condor is put into the big room of Huangtang, it will cause a world-shaking upheaval, and as long as the old lady is in the room, it will naturally be drawn out.And seeing the note we put on the Condor, it's done. I am very happy: "Here we go!" Bai Su smiled: "It's not too late to leave after changing into wet clothes." Five minutes later, we had gone out and the car quickly got on the road.I thought it was funny when the eagle broke into the house and the two brothers were in a hurry. Not long after, it was almost close to the destination, but there were too many vehicles on the road, and the progress was slow.This area is not a major traffic road. There were no cars just now, so why is it suddenly congested?The car moved forward at an extremely slow speed, and I was extremely impatient, Hong Ling released the condor: "Please let it go to the front to have a look." Bai Su said: "There must be an accident ahead." Just as he was talking, the sirens of police cars and fire engines came from behind.Ordinarily, vehicles on the highway should step aside when they hear this kind of siren.But the cars on the road have already been crowded into a group, how can they get out of the way?As a result, the siren kept ringing, and it made people upset. Not long after, several helicopters flew overhead.At this time, all the vehicles couldn't move at all, and the drivers all got out of the cars, talking a lot.Hong Ling and I also got out of the car. When some people saw the tall and strong Hong Ling, they all cast curious eyes. Hong Ling has one advantage, she is not afraid of other people's stares, nor does she care about others' comments, she does her own thing, looking around freely. After a while, the condor circled down from mid-air and landed on Hong Ling's shoulders, and those who looked at her were even more amazed. Hong Ling and Shen Ying muttered for a while, and said, "There's a fire ahead!" At this time, even if there is no report from Condor's reconnaissance, it can be known that there is a fire ahead.For there was a large cloud of smoke rising up ahead, and it seemed that the fire was very violent. When I saw this situation, my heart skipped a beat. This is the suburbs, and they are all bungalows. Even if there is a fire, it will not be that big.The only big house in the vicinity is the one in Huangtang. Looking over, the direction is also right, could it be that the house that is on fire is Huangtang's house?Bai Su also thought of this point: "Cars can't pass, people can always go." I nodded, and the three of them abandoned the car and walked.At this time, a brigade of police officers also shouted, running forward among the cars. Among them, a familiar-looking police officer raised his hand as soon as he saw me. I asked loudly, "Where is the fire?" He also replied loudly, "Director Huang's house!" Although Huang Tang had an accident and was suspended from his post, he has been the director of the special studio for many years, and police officers at all levels respect him very much. It is only natural that he still calls him Director Huang. Originally, I was walking forward in a hurry, but when I heard that the police officer confirmed my guess, I stopped immediately. For a while, my thoughts were ups and downs, and I didn't know what it was like in my heart. Huangtang's house is on fire! Of course it couldn't be accidental, but it was also extremely sudden—how long have the two brothers been gone?In less than half an hour, we set off.That is to say, as soon as they got home, they set fire to the house. Bai Su turned around, saw that my expression was different, and said: "I set fire, I have already prepared, otherwise, the flames can't be so fast!" I nodded numbly, my thoughts were churning, I just thought: How much determination does it take for a person to set fire to his own house? Especially the old big houses like Huangtang, which can definitely be listed as architectural relics, but they are willing to burn them down. Why?Suddenly, four more words flashed in my mind: Jump bail and abscond! In order to escape completely, Huangtang's family did not hesitate to destroy their hometown. The price is so high that it is unimaginable.The strange thing is, where did they go?For one thing, the surrounding area of ​​the house is closely monitored by the police. It is even more difficult for the two brothers and the old lady to leave without being noticed.Even if they did this, it would not be easy to leave the city. Of course, I will never underestimate Huang Tang's ability, but I always wonder: where can they hide?Because this is not a matter of a year or a half. After this time, they may never show their faces in front of people again for the rest of their lives. In Japanese, there is a word "evaporating from the world", which is used to describe Huang Tang and the others' current situation, and there is nothing more appropriate. While thinking, I still walked forward with Bai Su and Hong Ling.Not long after, we arrived at the private road leading to Huangtang's house.At the intersection, there are many police officers guarding to prevent people from approaching.When we got a little closer, we were shouted at by the police not to move forward. At this time, the burning house could already be seen.The raging fire has completely engulfed the whole house. The fire is so big that even though we are more than a hundred meters apart, we can still feel the heat.In the strong wind blown by the fire, many burning things were flying in the air, which looked very strange. Fire engines were unable to reach the road due to congestion on the road.Although some firefighters had already arrived, there was no water source nearby to fight the fire, so we had to watch the fire raging helplessly, with no way to do anything. I saw that no one took action to fight the fire, so I called to the firefighters who gathered together: "Is there anyone in the fire? If there is someone, it is important to save them!" Several firefighters looked at me with disdainful expressions.Some even shouted: "How to rescue? The iron man has melted before entering the fire." They didn't act, but I was not in a hurry, because I believed that Huang Tang's family would never be burned to death inside. At this time, more and more people came to see the excitement, and many reporters also came.Because the fire is too big, no one can get close to it.Not long after, two helicopters landed, and a lot of people came out. I saw the police chief get off the plane first, probably to show his bravery in front of everyone, he strode forward. However, after only ten steps, his face flushed and he retreated. Many reporters rushed forward, surrounded the chief of police, and asked questions one after another.Since the Huangtang incident was a sensational news, the reporters all knew that the house on fire had been closely monitored by the police. The reporter's question focused on whether Huang Tang was still on fire.The Chief of Police was gloating, waved his hands vigorously, and said loudly: "Our surveillance personnel didn't find anyone leaving!" When I saw him like that, I couldn't get angry.The reporters were also taken aback when they heard him say that, and they all asked, "Is director Huang still inside?" The chief of police spread his hands and said, "I have no comment. Just let me repeat: before and after the fire, no one left .” The reporters all asked, "Then why don't you go to rescue people?" The director of security actually smiled: "Everyone has seen that the fire is so fierce that it is impossible to get close." I was extremely angry, and I cursed this guy in my heart for being such a jerk, as if I was very happy that Huang Tang was burned to death inside.This bastard continued to talk: "Terrorists often behave abnormally when they know that they cannot escape legal sanctions. In the United States, there is an example of setting fire to the entire manor." I glanced at Bai Su, and said in a deep voice: "It is tolerable, which is unbearable. This thing is too much!" Bai Su nodded, and suddenly raised his hand upwards.I heard a scream from the triumphant police chief. I saw him stretch out his hand to hold his mouth, and blood flowed from his fingers.At this time, he could no longer talk nonsense, and could only make a strange inarticulate sound. When he put down his hands, he saw that his lips were swollen and his hands were holding two teeth, his expression was angry and painful.He roared again, but no one could understand him anymore. Hong Ling, like everyone else, was baffled. When such a thing happened, the reporters were shocked, but they did not miss the great opportunity to capture the footage.For a moment, the flashes flickered on and on.I kissed Bai Su's face: "It's so handsome that you can use the supernatural power of snapping fingers. It's nothing more than Yaoshi Dongxihuang, the master of Peach Blossom Island back then!" My voice is very low, but Hongya who is beside me can also hear it.She made a grimace at us: "If I shoot, he will only have half of his teeth left at most!" I laughed, turned around and left.The three returned to the car, and it took a while before the road returned to normal.As I drove, I still thought it was funny to think of the Superintendent of Police just now.Of course, it was because his behavior was too excessive that Bai Su punished him. For him, it was his own choice. This fire, of course, was big news in the newspapers the next day.The photo of the chief of police after being hit by the pebble that Bai Su popped up is also extremely funny, but I can't laugh. Because the newspaper said that the fire burned for a whole day, and it didn't go out automatically until it was exhausted.While clearing the fire, a charred body was found.In fact, it was no longer a corpse, but it was barely recognizable as the remnant of a person. I discussed with Bai Su: "How could someone burn to death in the house? According to reports, Huangtang has always lived alone, so it is speculated that the body may be him." Bai Su said: "It can't be him." I said: "Who could it be?" Bai Su said: "I don't know, but it will definitely not be one of them." I thought about it for a while, and felt that what Bai Su said was reasonable.If jumping bail and absconding had been prepared, then the three of them would have absolutely no reason to be buried in the fire pit.As for the charred corpse, it was most likely Huang Tang's old suspicion, to make people think that he was dead, so they can no longer pursue it. This also saves a lot of trouble for us guarantors. So, I nodded and agreed with Bai Su's analysis. Even so, I'm still a little uneasy.I contacted a forensic doctor I knew very well and asked a few questions. The most important question is of course: Is the wreckage found in the fire site related to Huang Tang?The answer I got was: no proof.Because some of the ones found are actually almost all ashes, and there are great difficulties in testing.Moreover, there is no DNA record of Huang Tang for comparison.So this question has no answer. Of course I was disappointed, but there was nothing I could do.Instead, the forensic doctor suddenly proposed: "Wesley, your call came at the right time. Someone wanted to see you and said that he had something to discuss with you about Huang Tang." I heard that the matter was related to Huang Tang, so I immediately said: "Okay, who is it?" The forensic doctor said: "It's a big story to mention this person, have you heard of 'Forensic Doctor Gong'?" I replied: "Have you heard of it?" He said that all the forensic doctors in the area are his disciples, and Huang Tang also told me about it."
