I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and kept scolding myself in my heart. I was really too careless. I knew clearly that I was walking on thin ice, and I should have been careful everywhere, but I completely ignored the dangers around me.
.
I'm a little nervous. If Zheng Baliang hadn't reminded me today, I don't know when I would have discovered it!
If I hadn't discovered the murderer's soul-fixing pile for a long time, wouldn't I have died here inexplicably in the end?
Thinking of this, I felt scared for a while, then I raised my head and said with some embarrassment, "Uncle, thank you very much for today. Otherwise, I might not even know how I died in the end."
Zheng Baliang did not laugh or ridicule me. Instead, he showed his gentle side at this time. He walked up to me and patted my shoulder gently, "You young people are so careless and unable to look forward and backward.
But you are still young after all, so I can’t blame you entirely. The method of setting up murder stakes around Xiangyun Hotel was very subtle. If I hadn’t heard that someone died in the hotel where you were staying, I wouldn’t have come to see it.
Discover."
Then Zheng Baliang narrowed his eyes and looked at me, "Dongfang, your current situation is very dangerous. Please tell me honestly, what is the purpose of your coming here?"
Zheng Baliang is a real thief. I asked Zheng Baliang the same question before, but he hesitated and refused to tell me the truth. Now he asked me the same question again.
I am even more certain in my heart that Zheng Baliang's appearance in Luhua Village is definitely not a coincidence. He must have an unknown purpose for coming here.
I did not answer Zheng Baliang's question directly, but asked, "Uncle, why are you here?"
"Hei..." Zheng Baliang screamed strangely, "I am your uncle, and I just saved your life again. Now I ask you, you just asked the question back. Do you think you are playing football with me?"
?”
I curled my lips and didn't care at all what Zheng Baliang said.
"Since you want to know why I am here, and I also want to know what you are here for, one of us must talk first! You are my uncle, and you are older than me, should you go first?
Say it!"
"Hmph..." Zheng Baliang made a cold sound and said with great dissatisfaction, "Even if you don't tell me, I know that you came here with your police partner and acted mysteriously. If my guess is correct,
Are you here to investigate the case that shocked the whole city three years ago?"
I opened my mouth to say something, but I didn't know what to say for a moment. Zheng Baliang actually knew the purpose of our coming here.
Zheng Baliang looked at my surprised expression and looked very proud, as if "I knew it was like this".
Zheng Baliang touched his chin, "Don't deny it, kid. I knew your companion was a police officer just by looking at her."
"How do you know?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Zheng Baliang clapped his hands. "The last time we sat together to eat, I asked her what she did. It was just a very simple question, but after I asked
, but there was a hint of imperceptible vigilance in her eyes, and she sat opposite me, always keeping her hands and feet near her, maintaining a defensive posture. After about two or three seconds, she
It was said very vaguely that she works in a government department."
In order not to attract other people's attention, An Keke and I discussed it. When others asked what we did for work, we would deliberately make up an excuse to fool them.
Zheng Baliang paused and continued, "Ordinary people would never react like this. Only the police would, because they often have to face various criminals, so most of the time they are cautious."
Zheng Baliang approached me with his smiling face, and asked me with a smile on his face, "Am I right?"
Before, I always thought that Zheng Baliang was a careless person, the kind of person who has no sense of things. I really didn't expect that he was so thoughtful and thought about all aspects of problems.
Now I have completely changed my view on him. As my ancestors said, people should not be judged by their appearance.
I remained silent, and Zheng Baliang continued, "Zhao Dongfang, you are the grandson of Zhao Jiuzhong, and you are from the same family as me. I am your uncle. If you haven't met me before, I will tell you. But now that I have met you in Luhua Village,
Now that it’s your turn, I still have to say some things that should be said to you.”
"How old are you?" Zheng Baliang asked me.
My face straightened, and I said, "I am eighteen years old this year!"
"Eighteen years old!" Zheng Baliang raised his head and looked at the sky, and said leisurely, "Eighteen years old, eighteen years old is the same age as a flower. When I was eighteen years old, I fell in love with a beautiful girl.
I thought I would be with her forever, until one night, she went to a distant place and never came back. From then on, I stayed at the place where we first met, playing my beloved Tu Pipa, I believe
She will come again, and then I..."
"Ahem..." I coughed a few times and interrupted Zheng Baliang's words. "Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you. You're not going off track! We are talking about Xiangyun Hotel now. What are you talking about?"
On top of the girl we chased together in those years?"
Zheng Baliang's imagination was too big, and he jumped from one topic to another that had nothing to do with Feng Shui Niu.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" Zheng Baliang scratched his head, "I'm off topic. I'm getting older now. When you mention eighteen, I can't help but think of what happened when I was eighteen."
I pursed my lips.
Zheng Baliang, who was smiling just now, suddenly became serious again, "You are already eighteen years old. You are an adult here in China. You can decide what you want to do. But I want to remind you.
But if you get involved in this matter, it will be accompanied by huge risks, and you will most likely die."
"You are very likely to die?" Although Zheng Baliang's tone was not serious when he said this, I felt like a big stone hit my heart heavily.
Zheng Baliang breathed out softly, "Your grandfather only has you as his grandson! You have to think clearly about whether Zhao Laojiu can withstand such a huge blow if you really die."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Baliang stood next to me and said nothing. He just looked at me quietly. His words echoed in my mind over and over again.
If I die, can grandpa withstand the huge blow of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man to the earth?
I smiled. I have been raised by my grandfather since I was a child. I have never doubted my grandfather's love for me.
But he also told me that as a man of the Zhao family, if a person is destined to die, he would prefer that I die a more heroic death.
And I...
I clenched my fists.
"I won't die!" I said firmly.
Zheng Baliang looked at me slightly surprised, maybe he didn't expect me to say this.
"Uncle, please don't underestimate me. I was born in the year of yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang, yang and yang.
It’s so easy to give up!”
"Were you born in the yang year, yang month, yang day, yang hour?"
"yes!"
"He was born in the yang year, yang month, yang day, yang time." Zheng Baliang murmured to himself, "In ancient times, such a person may not have appeared for decades. I never thought that Zhao Laojiu's grandson would be born in the yang year, yang month, yang day, yang time."
I was born at the right time, I can’t tell whether this is a blessing or a misfortune.”
Before I could answer, Zheng Baliang continued, "Since you decide to stay here to investigate, I won't advise you, but I want to give you a reminder."
Zheng Baliang said seriously.
"What reminder?" Seeing Zheng Baliang's appearance, I also became serious.
I have seen what Zheng Baliang is capable of, especially since a person in Luhua Village has died. I must pay attention to what Zheng Baliang said.
Zheng Baliang stared at my face closely and said word by word, "Leave...the...Lu...Hua...Village...as soon as possible...as soon as possible..."
