Chapter 37: The Disappearing Wrench

I'm sure it wasn't an illusion before, Lao He did come back, and he wrote something in the notebook.

But before I could see what he wrote, Pan Ying said that she had found a 'secret passage' in the back.

Just as she and I went to the mysterious 'temple', a page of the book was torn away......

Pan Ying reacted and said:

"Hurry up and see if there are any marks."

"You don't have to look at it, how can the brush leave a mark."

I forced to adjust my emotions, but my temples jumped violently, "Meat floss!" What about meat floss? ”

Pan Ying's eyes suddenly widened, and she shouted the name of the meat floss.

I hurriedly put the mud doll in my bag, found a flashlight and ran out with Pan Ying.

I searched all the way to dawn and searched several nearby streets, but I didn't find the meat floss.

Pan Ying said with a crying voice, could the meat floss be stolen by dog thieves.

I shook my head and said no.

When I said this, I was very sad in my heart.

Although the meat floss is a dirt dog, it is a good and loyal dog, and if a stranger comes in, he will not let that person take the things in the store.

Meat floss must have been chasing the person who tore off the book.,But it's gone.,It's probably ......

What did Lao He write?

Who the hell is it...... Why tear that page away?

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

The call was made by Shen Qing.

"Hey, there was a call from the Dongcheng Detention Center, and Lao He was sent to the hospital."

Lao He really had an accident......

rushed to Dongcheng Hospital, Shen Qing, Lin Dong and several other people from the detention center were there.

I asked Shen Qing how Lao He is now.

Lin Dong on the side whispered:

"In the early hours of the morning, our people saw Lao He with his head covered in the quilt through the surveillance. If a colleague feels wrong, he goes to the cell to check. It turned out to be ......"

Lin Dong suddenly frowned, turned his two hands around, and grabbed his neck, "He almost strangled himself to death." ”

"Strangled yourself ......"

Shen Qing said: "Now that the person has been rescued, the doctor said that he may never wake up again because of the lack of oxygen in his brain for a long time."

"What do you mean?" I asked with a frown.

Lin Dong looked at me and said, "You may become a vegetative person."

"Vegetative?"

Thinking of Lao He's return to No. 31 in the early hours of the morning, my brain was in a mess.

When he came to the intensive care unit, on the bed, Lao He was covered in various instruments and tubes, and his eyes were loosely closed, as if he was asleep.

I took a closer look at the bruises on his neck and was surprised to find that what Lin Dong said might be the truth.

The old man grabbed his neck with his backhand, causing an almost fatal wound that was enough to block his breathing.

Strangled yourself...... How can a person strangle himself?

"Xu Jie didn't come with you?" Shen Qing asked.

I understand what she means, Xu Jie is Lao He's only relative here.

But Xu Jie is gone, and I began to think that she may not be related to Lao He.

I thought about it and said that Xu Jie went back to her hometown yesterday.

Lin Dong said that Lao He made it impossible to go back to serve his sentence again, and when he was handed over to the detention center, he was detained some of his belongings and asked if we wanted to help him claim them.

I nodded, and walked to the other side of the bed, trying to tuck the corner of the quilt for the old man.

Inadvertently, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the posture of his hands under the quilt.

When I lifted the quilt and looked at it, I was stunned.

His left hand was holding a strange gesture.

The thumb is clasped on the ring finger, and the other three fingers are bent to varying degrees......

"It's !! him"

I involuntarily took two steps back, and my brain went blank for a moment.

I've seen this gesture before.

Not only have I seen it, but I must have seen the same gesture from a long time ago!

It's just that Lao He used his left hand to pinch the gesture at the moment, and the man used his right hand......

I looked at Lao He's left hand, raised my left hand, and tried to make the same gesture.

But I suddenly found that no matter how I compared, it was not the same as Lao He's gestures.

I simply squatted in front of the hospital bed and carefully examined Lao He's left hand.

After a closer look, I finally found something strange......

Before leaving the ward, I subconsciously turned my head and wanted to look at Lao He again.

I suddenly saw that the corners of the old man's mouth were slightly raised, and he seemed to show a sly smile......

When we came to the detention center with Shen Qing, Lin Dong asked us if we needed to look at the surveillance at the time of the incident.

I said no.

This kind of thing is inherently incredible, and you can't get an answer after reading it, so you can only increase your doubts.

After counting and claiming Lao He's belongings, I left the detention center and went straight home.

When I got home, I immediately closed the door and took out a brown paper bag from the bottom of the cabinet.

I took out Lao He's bag of things from my bag, walked to the desk with the paper bag and sat down.

Lay out his belongings on the table, then pulled out a black-and-white photograph and a copper key from the paper bag.

The photo and key were left to me by my so-called father, Xu Ronghua, who made a will before he died.

The photo was originally taken by three men standing in front of a 'temple', but when I took the photo home, the 'temple' was gone, and all three men were cut with their hands behind their backs, kneeling on the ground, and their heads were 'cut off'.

I looked at everything on the table, and finally put the picture on the table, and tapped my finger at the headless man in the middle in a Chinese pants coat.

For a moment, I took a piece of paper and a pencil, searched through distant memories, and slowly traced on the paper......

"Is it really him?"

Looking at the pencil sketch on paper, I leaned back in my chair and lit a cigarette.

I don't have much background in drawing, but as a medical student, I know the muscle structure of the human body very well, so I can still draw the main facial features of a person in general.

I can't confirm that what I drew is the man in the middle of the photo.

Because when I first saw the photo, except for the person on the right, I couldn't see his face clearly, and the other two were only in their twenties.

What I painted, however, was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties.

I vaguely remember that this man's appearance was very similar to that of the man in the middle of the photo.

The middle-aged man I met was something I remembered not long ago.

He was the man I met when I was seven years old when I went to the Northeast with my grandfather...... Master of Mao Xiaoyu!

What if you say...... According to the woman, the grandfather I had never met on the far left was my grandfather, and the man in the middle was Mao Xiaoyu's master...... Who is the 'moon white robe' on the right that looks like I saw in the Di family's old house?

What exactly is the relationship between the three?

After staring at the picture for a while, I just felt like my brain was bursting.

I inadvertently saw something on the table and picked it up.

It was Lao He's belongings that he had recovered from the detention center.

It's a wrench.

Feeling goes, the wrench should be made of some kind of animal bone.

I put the wrench on my left thumb and felt nothing but a shallow coolness.

Looking at my left hand, I couldn't help but think of that strange gesture again.

Subconsciously gestured......

"Impossible, it is impossible for a normal person to make this gesture!" I frustrated and snuffed out my cigarette.

In the hospital, I took a closer look at Lao He's left hand and found that his thumb was shorter than normal.

It wasn't a disability, it was a stubby disproportionate to the other fingers.

That's why he was able to make that weird gesture when his thumb clasped the tip of his ring finger.

Before the photograph changes, the man in the middle makes the same gesture, and it is also unobtrusive.

In this way, the right thumb of the man in the middle is also shortened.

It's just that he has no head now, and he kneels there with his hands behind his back.

My childhood memories are too blurry to make out this detail.

This can no longer be confirmed......

"Buzz...... Buzz ......"

I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw the name displayed on my phone's screen.

I picked up the phone and answered, "Hey."

"Hey, Xu Xu. Lan Lan: Maybe something happened to them! Ji Yayun's eager voice came from the earpiece.

I couldn't help frowning: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"We're in Fengxi County now, Lan Lan and her brother-in-law...... They're gone! ”

"Didn't you go back to Suzhou? How did you get to Fengxi? ”

"We came to visit Mr. Ye, and he helped us...... But it didn't take long to get here...... Lan Lan, they're all gone! Ji Yayun said with a crying voice.

"Noro-chan?" Listening to her voice, it seemed a little empty, and I couldn't help but ask, "Where are you now?"

"I'm in Bull's Eye Ditch, Mr. Ye's house now!"

"Fengxi County...... Bull's Eye Groove ...... What's the use of you calling me now......"

There was a sudden murmur of "stinging, stinging, stinging" on the phone, and then it was cut off.

I was about to call again, but Zhao Qi called first.

"Hey, Brother Zhao."

"The bureau just received a call from Fengxi County, and Yin ** is dead."

"What? Norou is dead? ”

"Yes, the previous four murders of Pei Shaoyi and others and the case of the destruction of the body of the medical school were published on the police intranet. The local police received a report confirming that Yin ** was found dead in the county's new home at around 9 o'clock this morning; The death is very similar to the death of Pei Shaoyi and the other four. So they called us and asked for help. ”

"I'll be in the game right away! Go to Fengxi! ”

I wiped my forehead and added, "Hurry up and ask the local police to send someone to the house of Bullseye Gou Ye Langzhong!" ”

Hanging up the phone, I was in a hurry to put away the things on the table.

As soon as I put the photos and keys back into the leather bag, I was suddenly stunned.

What about Lao He's wrench?

I just wore it on my left thumb?

I searched for a while, but I couldn't find the bone wrench, so I simply ignored it, packed up my things and hurried out of the house.

Rushing to the bureau, Zhao Qi was ready.

got on his big jeep, and the two went straight to Fengxi County......
