During these few days like a walking corpse, Chen Zhi fell into extreme loneliness and fear. Naturally, he first doubted his mental state and whether he was suffering from delusion. Teacher Guo never existed, there was no body, and there was no
The ghost man found the abandoned factory in his hallucination alone and set it on fire.
During this period, a strange thing happened. The note that Teacher Guo left for him disappeared. Chen Zhi could not find it anywhere. Before leaving, he clearly remembered that he had tucked the note away.
In this book, all the evidence about the existence of Teacher Guo has disappeared. There is no body, no note, except for the watch.
By the way, there is also the watch. Chen Zhi took out the Omega watch from his coat. He had always carried this watch with him.
"Did I pick this watch up on the road after I lost my mind?" Chen Zhi doubted himself extremely.
A phone call brought Chen Zhi back to the real world. The nursing home called and wanted to pay the bill. It seemed that the world had not ended and life was going on. Chen Zhi sighed. What he needed to do now was to sell this watch and go to
Pay his father's nursing home management fees.
Chen Zhi first searched on Taobao and found that there was no one exactly like that watch. A similar antique watch sold for more than 40,000 yuan. Chen Zhi did not dare to think of such a high price. He went downstairs and walked to the commercial street in the city center.
.
Just as he walked to the gate of the community, he ran into that disgusting dog Shifei again. Gou Shifei was very excited when he saw him. He quickly walked over and stopped Chen Zhi.
"Hey, you're out? Where are you going to steal? Otherwise, you kowtow to me and I'll ask my dad to clean it for you," Gou Shifei said with a beaming expression.
Chen Zhi ignored him and continued to walk forward, but was pulled by Gou Shifei. Gou Shifei tapped Chen Zhi's forehead with his finger and shouted loudly: "What's the matter? Aren't you quite arrogant? Why not?"
Are you pretending? I’m telling you, don’t let me see you again, or else I’ll beat you every time I see you.”
Chen Zhi didn't say anything back and let Gou Shifei finish his harsh words and continue walking on his way, letting Gou Shifei and the others laugh behind him. Chen Zhi felt that he had become numb. He was now just a person struggling desperately for survival.
.
Chen Zhi found a consignment shop in the business district. He saw a plaque that read "Purchasing gold mink antiques all year round." Chen Zhi walked into the store. The decoration inside the store was very elegant, with Chinese-style furnishings. There was a man in his twenties in the store.
The 20-year-old boy was cleaning the house. When he saw Chen Zhi, he came in and asked: "Hello, sir, what can I do for you?"
"I want to see if this watch of mine can be sold?" Chen Zhi took out the Omega from his pocket.
The young man reached out and took the watch, took a look at it, and said, "I can't see this watch clearly. Please wait a moment." After saying that, he walked to the inner room and shouted: "Sister, come out and take a look."
this."
After a while, a middle-aged woman came out. This woman was fat and fair, with emerald and gold rings on her hands.
The woman picked up the watch and looked at it carefully, then asked Chen Zhi with a smile on her face: "Where did it come from? How much do you want to sell it for?"
"It's a gift from a friend, please give me a price." Chen Zhi was a little embarrassed.
The middle-aged woman smiled contemptuously and said to Chen Zhi: "Let's do this. I'll take two photos and ask if there are any buyers. Please leave your phone number."
Seeing that Chen Zhi was hesitant, she smiled and said, "Don't worry! We've accepted all kinds of goods, so it's okay to leave a photo."
Chen Zhi knew that the fat woman thought he was a thief, so he took pictures of his watch, left his phone number, and left in a hurry.
At noon the next day, Chen Zhi was about to make two job application calls to try his luck. Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Chen Zhi answered the call. The other party's voice was hoarse and sounded like an old man.
"Hello, I want to see that watch"
"Okay, are you in that store? I'll bring my watch over there," Chen Zhi said.
"I'll pick you up, I know where you are" the other party said and then hung up.
"That's so weird," Chen Zhi said in confusion, "You just finished filming a ghost movie and you're filming a spy movie with me?"
About ten minutes later, the phone rang again, and the same voice said: "Come down, I'm downstairs." Chen Zhi ran to the balcony and saw a black Land Rover parked below, and he vaguely saw that the driver was a
The man in black was wearing sunglasses, Chen Zhi thought to himself, he was really an agent!
Chen Zhi walked down very calmly with his watch. He thought in his heart, I have seen ghosts, why am I still afraid of meeting your agents? Come on, whatever monsters and ghosts you like!
When he walked to the car, the rear window of the car opened, and the face of an old man was revealed. This old man was in his fifties, with gray hair, very energetic, and he could tell from his eyes that he was shrewd to the core.
people.
The old man smiled very friendly, waved and said: "Young man, come up!"
The car drove away after Chen Zhi got in. He wanted to ask the old man where he was going, but the old man still said to him in a pleasant manner, "Don't worry, you will know later."
The car drove for a long time and arrived at a famous scenic spot in Z city, at the foot of Qianhua Mountain. The scenery of Qianhua Mountain is very beautiful, and there are many high-end restaurants near the mountain that Chen Zhi cannot afford. The old man took Chen Zhi to a place on the west side of Shanxi
In a quiet and deserted remote area, there is an artificial lake, and behind it is an exquisite Chinese-style villa. The plaque on the villa says "Shelter".
Chen Zhi did not expect that there is such a beautiful place with green mountains and green waters in Z city. It is better to have money, he thought silently in his heart, and followed the old man into the villa.
After passing several courtyard scenes, Chen Zhi entered the main hall. Upon entering, he saw that the interior decoration was very elegant. There were solid wood Ming and Qing furniture and antique ornaments everywhere. The exquisiteness and delicacy of the oriental decoration glowed against the black silk.
It's almost mysterious. In the middle of the hall is a group of very luxurious leather sofas. Behind the sofas stood several burly men, all of them very serious. Sitting in the middle of the sofa was a young man, drinking tea with his head down.
The old man stepped forward, bowed slightly to the young man, and said respectfully, "Master Bao, he is here."
Chen Zhi took a look at the Mr. Bao mentioned by the old man. He was a rather handsome man in his late twenties, with splayed eyebrows. He was wearing a dark black Tang suit and was drinking tea leisurely.
He saw Chen Zhi come in, put down the tea bowl in his hand, pointed to the sofa opposite and said: "Sit".
Chen Zhi pretended to be calm and walked over and sat down. He felt that the atmosphere here was very serious and tense. Everyone seemed to be breathing around Mr. Bao alone.
"Take out your watch and let's take a look." The old man spoke first.
Chen Zhi took out the watch and handed it over. The old man picked up the watch and looked at it carefully, and nodded to Master Bao. Then he asked: "Little brother, don't be afraid, tell us where this watch comes from? Tell the truth."
"
"It's nothing, it's just a gift from a previous teacher. If you don't buy it, I'll go back." Chen Zhi replied calmly, telling himself not to let this situation scare him.
"I'm sure I'll buy it, and I'll give you a good price. But you have to tell us who gave it to you, when and where it was given to you." The old man said still pleasantly.
Chen Zhi felt a little guilty. After all, the origin of this watch was unknown. He was still a little angry, thinking that you are not the police, so why should you treat me as a prisoner?
"My elementary school teacher gave it to me. When I was a kid, he thought I was very cute and gave it to me. OK? If you don't buy it, I'll leave." Chen Zhi stood up and walked out.
"Sit down." Chen Zhi felt a pain in his shoulder, and his body was pressed heavily on the sofa by a huge force. At some point, a burly man came up from behind and pushed Chen Zhi back.
Chen Zhi was about to shout when he suddenly saw the young man named Mr. Bao standing up.
Master Bao walked steadily, put his face close to Chen Zhi, raised his eyebrows and looked into Chen Zhi's eyes. Chen Zhi saw that his eyes were dark gray, like two bottomless lakes, and could see through people's hearts.
Mr. Bao waved his hand gently, and a strong man in black came over, took out a pistol and put it against Chen Zhi's temple.
Mr. Bao said lightly: "If I ask you a question now, if you tell a lie, you will die. Do you understand?"
Chen Zhi has watched many gangster movies before, but he was not afraid when he saw the protagonist with a pistol held to his head.
However, when the real muzzle of the gun was pressed against his temple, he realized that this feeling was so terrifying, and the huge sense of oppression was indescribable.
Chen Zhi was covered in sweat at this time and did not dare to struggle anymore, so he nodded to Mr. Bao.
In fact, from the moment he entered the room, Chen Zhi had an instinctive fear of this young man named Bao Ye. Although this man was not old, the aura he exuded was very cold. He was now in Chen Zhi's room.
In front of him was like a green-faced and fanged ghost, judging Chen Zhi's life and death.
"Where did the watch come from?" Mr. Bao asked softly.
"It belongs to a primary school teacher of mine. He is dead and his body is in the warehouse..." Chen Zhi has no intention of hiding it now, and why should he hide it?
He told what happened in detail.
At the end, he said: "I didn't steal my watch. Teacher Guo really said he would give it to me. I also wanted to call the police to avenge him, but the police didn't believe me..."
Mr. Bao interrupted him with a wave of his hand and continued to ask: "Where is the note?"
"It was lost. It disappeared after I left it at home. I obviously put it away..." Chen Zhi answered innocently.
Master Bao seemed to believe it when he heard this. He waved his hand and removed the gun. He took out a photo from the coffee table and showed it to Chen Zhi, asking, "Is it him?"
Chen Zhi took a look and saw that it was Teacher Guo in the photo.
