"The magic to exorcise...the magician, mage?" The old man looked trembling.

"Don't be afraid, uncle." I said, "I'm not here to make things difficult for you, but I want to ask you some things."

"oh oh…"

The old man looked dodgingly and looked at the ground, "I'm tired of walking, can you let me drink some water first?"

I waved my hand, and the old man walked to the Eight Immortals table, picked up the teapot, and didn't bother me to drink it, "gudongdongdong".

"Uncle." Chen Xing couldn't help but say, "It's so cold, drinking ice water is easy to get sick. There is hot water in the pot next to the stove. We came here last night and waited until you are now..."

The old man was 'yes', but he kept talking until he finished drinking the remaining water in the jar, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and let out a long breath, looking much calmer than before.

"What are you going to ask me?" the old man asked.

Chenxing and I looked at each other, then looked at the old man, stared at his eyes, and said word by word, "Tell me, we want to know how Accountant Wang died."

"Accountant Wang?" The old man looked surprised, "I don't know, no, wasn't it scared to death by the ghost? That ghost was driven away by you. Are you the mage?"

I thought to myself, this old man is quite cunning.

Chen Xing smiled, "Of course he drove away, uncle, since everyone knows that they were scared to death by ghosts, then just asked you, why did you say your first reaction? "

"this…"

"Saying you don't know means you must know something. Master, tell us what you know."

Chenxing looked at him, the old man seemed a little confused, looked away and muttered, "I don't know anything anyway."

"Okay, then I'll ask something you know, okay?" said Chenxing.

"What?"

"You didn't spend the night in the brick kiln factory that night, where did you go?"

"I'm coming home."

"You brought the keys from the brick kiln factory together, are you?"

The old man was stunned and said 'yes'.

"Very good." Chen Xing smiled and said softly, "Since you brought the key here and didn't give it to others, then that night, the gate of the brick kiln factory was clearly locked when Accountant Wang died. Who opened it?"

The old man widened his eyes and looked at Chenxing, "Accountant Wang locked the door? The police said, Accountant Wang..."

Chenxing interrupted him and said, "The policeman said, Accountant Wang did not lock the door, right?"

The old man nodded.

"That's because the police did not find out why Accountant Wang sent you away and left you alone in the factory." Chen Xing said, "That night was Accountant Wang's 'death'. The reason why he sent you away was to 'refuge' in the brick kiln factory. Since it was 'refuge', the door would be locked..."

The old man was speechless and said nothing. Chen Xing said gently, "Uncle, you must know some of the inside stories about Accountant Wang's death, tell us."

"I don't know, I don't know!" The old man suddenly changed his face and said angrily, "I don't work in the brick kiln factory anymore. What's the matter with him? It's not what I killed him. You guys go, go quickly!"

As he said that, the old man raised his arm and suddenly something fell out of his arms. It was a stack of money, a thick, a brand new stack of money...

I immediately understood why this old man didn't say it.

The old man hurriedly bent down to pick up the money. I leaned over and grabbed it in my hand. He weighed it and smiled coldly, "Where did this money come from? You should know?"

"I…"

"You can't make this money in your life if you show others the door. You can't tell me if you don't say it. Chenxing, let's go and call the police, and I'll say that Mr. Sun Xue'an stole a huge sum of money from others."

As soon as I finished speaking, the old man sat down on the ground with a thump, crying "ahee". Chenxing and I hurried forward, one left and one right, and helped him up.

"Uncle." Chenxing whispered, "Money is important, but conscience is more important..."

The old man nodded, stopped crying, and wiped his eyes. I helped him sit on the chair, and Chenxing poured some hot water for him to drink.

After the old man finished drinking the water, I said, "Uncle Sun, tell us what did you see that night."

The old man swallowed, "Young man, do you have cigarettes?"

I nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and lit it for him. The old man trembled and took a sip, looking at the misty smoke in front of him, and said quietly, "Actually, that night, I knew Accountant Wang was taking refuge in the brick kiln factory..."

"You know?!"

Chenxing and I were stunned at the same time. This was something we had never expected before.

The old man smiled bitterly, "Of course I know that the son of a worker in the brick kiln factory was full moon. In the afternoon, the whole factory was on holiday, and all the workers went to drink the full moon wine. I had a stomachache in the morning and didn't go. I was sleeping in bed. Accountant Wang walked in and said that he had something urgent to do at night and asked me to stay for one night. Of course, I refused, so he paid me for it. I was also stubborn. I always thought Accountant Wang was weird during that period. I told him, if you don't explain what happened, I won't leave. Finally, he forced me to be anxious and knelt on the ground with a "popping" and said that his death was coming. A master told him that he had to hide in this brick kiln factory to avoid it... I was confused at that time. I said Xiao Wang, I am a man, although I am not educated, but I also know what feudal superstition is. Why do you, a big intellectual, still believe in these superstitions?

"He didn't listen to my advice, and I was helpless when he asked me, so he had to agree. He gave me the fare and asked me to take a taxi home in the town north of the brick kiln factory. I am a relatively cheap person. When I walked to the town, my stomach didn't hurt anymore. I thought to myself, if I had the money to take a taxi home, I wouldn't have enough (as well) to drink some wine. I just found a place to sit for a night. I found a small restaurant, ordered two dishes, and then drank it high. After drinking, it was too late. I found a pile of straw, slid a nest and got into it.

"It was also cold that night, and I was so cold that I didn't have much time. I thought to myself, why should I sleep in this ghost place without sleeping on the hot kang in the brick kiln factory? Accountant Wang was superstitious, could I also be superstitious with him? Thinking of this, I came out of the straw pile and left the town to walk towards the brick kiln factory. That night, there was a wind blowing, and I walked to the door of the brick factory and saw that the door was locked from outside. I was wondering, thinking to myself, why did this man spend me, and he didn't live here, what if someone steals the machine parts?

"Thinking of this, I heard a sound of "gudeng" in the factory. I found a few and a half bricks to step on it, climbed onto the wall and looked in. I saw a person digging soil at a distance under the chimney, like a ghost. I was so scared that I almost didn't wet my crotch. The man digged almost a bag of cigarettes, but there was no movement. I put it on the wall and didn't dare to move, wanting to see what he was doing. Just as I looked at it, I heard a strange scream, and it was Accountant Wang. Then, a man ran from the chimney to the factory gate. He ran closer, and I saw that the man seemed to be Accountant Wang. Behind him, there was a dark thing, as if he was a ghost.

"I was so scared that I screamed strangely, and it fell from the wall. It was only me, my old bones were hard. If someone else fell, they would definitely fall apart. As soon as I got up, I heard Accountant Wang screaming again in the factory. I heard something happened. I didn't care about being afraid, and thought it was important to save people as soon as possible. I shouted to give myself courage and opened the door. When I opened the door and rushed in, I saw Accountant Wang lying not far from the guard room, placing Dodo there. When I turned on the flashlight, Accountant Wang's face turned white and opened his mouth.

The tongue was straight and stretched, which would scare people to death. I asked, Xiao Wang, what's wrong with this. After asking, I felt that he was talking, and leaned over and listened. When I heard him say, "They hurt me...", I asked, "Who are they?" Accountant Wang only knows "ho ho ho" and can't speak at all. He scratched his hands on the ground, and suddenly stretched out three fingers. I wondered what three fingers mean? As I thought, I suddenly thought that in the middle of the night three days ago, Accountant Wang brought two people from outside to the brick kiln factory.

"I was thinking about it, and I found that Accountant Wang was silent. When I touched it with my hand, he had already died. At this moment, I heard a car outside and quickly found a place to hide it. As I had just hidden it, I saw a short, chubby person walking in. As the man walked, he slipped down and just fell on Accountant Wang's body, almost scared me to death. The man got up with a 'hum' and was just as he was fine. He pissed his pants as soon as he pulled them. He heard that sound, he should have peed on Accountant Wang. After peeing, the man turned around and left, and at this moment..."

When the old man said this, his whole body shivered violently, his eyes were straightened, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I saw that Accountant Wang stood up and followed the man and walked out..."

Although I had already expected it, my heart still tightened and Chenxing grabbed my arm.

"I was looking straight at the time, thinking to myself, isn't Accountant Wang dead? I looked to the ground and found that Accountant Wang was still lying on the ground. Who was the one who went out just now? When I thought about it, my forehead twitched and I knew nothing. After I woke up, I ran out and forgot to lock the door..."

What the old man said was that except for the fact that he knew that Accountant Wang had "refused" at the brick kiln factory that night, the rest were about the same as Chen Xing's analysis last night.

"The back." Chenxing said, "The police asked you for questions. You were afraid of being responsible, so you didn't dare to tell them everything you saw that night, right?"

"How do you know?"

Morning star smiled slightly.

"Is the person who gave you money one of the two people who took to the brick kiln factory that night?" I asked.

"No, I don't recognize it."

"The reason why I gave you money is that the man's purpose is to keep it strictly confidential and not tell the story of that night, right?" Chen Xing asked.

The old man nodded blankly, then clenched his forehead and said, "After I resigned from the brick factory, I have never told anyone about that night. I don't know how this person was found."
