Chapter 33 The Secret of the Stars
The space where we are in now looks like a basement, with an area of more than ten square meters. The cement walls are covered with newspapers, which are quite old and yellow. There are several round holes on the roof of the room, which should be ventilation holes leading to the ground. It is precisely because of their existence that the air here is not stuffy. Against the wall of the basement is a small wardrobe, with a steel wire bed next to the wardrobe. The bedding on the bed looks quite new...
Since the desktop wallpaper of this notebook is a photo of Wanjinshan, the notebook should be his. Judging from the bed and bedding, someone has lived in it recently. So I said that Wanjinshan hid here after running from the old village. Yu Xin nodded and agreed with my words...
The more I looked at it, the more I felt strange. This basement seemed to have been built for a few years, and the entrances and exits were actually connected to the sewer. If it was built by Wanjinshan, I really don’t understand what he thought, nor do I know how he built it…
As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three holes, and the old fox in Wanjin Mountain is much more cunning than the rabbit. You can know without thinking that besides the residence in the old village, he must have more than one residence in other places. But what I never expected was that there was a sewer under the ground... We tracked the "person" who ran to Old Man Liu's residence. After chasing this place, we actually discovered the hiding place of Wanjin Mountain. I wonder if that person has anything to do with Wanjin Mountain...
I squatted by the entrance and exit, and looked into the fork where we came. It was pitch black and there was no movement. The man somehow didn't chase after him. I stood up and walked to the closet, opened it and looked. There were clothes inside. After fiddling, I found nothing valuable.
"A Leng." Yu Xin kept leaning against the table and fiddling with the computer, and suddenly said.
"Um?"
"Look, there are photos on this computer hard drive!"
"Photo? Impossible..."
I thought to myself, with a cunning person as much as Wanjinshan, since this computer system is not locked, there must be nothing inside, so I didn't even read it...
When Yu Xin said this, I walked over and saw Yu Xin clicking on a folder. There were indeed many photos!... Yu Xin pulled back one by one, and there were personal photos of Wan Jinshan in front of them. This old guy is very good at enjoying life. Some were taken in Hainan, some were taken in Tibet, and some were taken abroad... and so on. When I pulled more than twenty photos, Yu Xin stopped. I saw that this was the kind of color photo I washed out, took it with a camera, and saved it on the computer. Wan Jinshan in this photo looked old-fashioned, and his photography posture was very stiff, and his eyes were listless...
I leaned my face closer and stared at it carefully before I realized that the person in the photo was not Wanjinshan at all, but Wanjinshan's brother, the old fox!... Yuxin enlarged the photo a little. Although it was not very clear after enlarging it, it could still be seen that it was indeed the old fox... Yuxin and I looked at each other. The background of this photo was a bit blurry, and when it was pulled back, it was still the old fox, but the background was much clearer. Judging from the antique buildings in the background, it should have been taken in Qingshi Town... The next one is a photo of the old fox and Wanjinshan. If Wanjinshan is thinner and wears the same clothes as the old fox, it looks like a person...
Continuing back, it is Wanjinshan's personal, and the background is still the building of Qingshi Town. Compared with the previous few pictures, this one seems to have not been taken well. It feels like the person taking the picture is not very good at using the camera and taking a picture of most of his body. In addition, not far behind Wanjinshan, there is a person carrying a bag standing sideways. He should be a passing tourist who was mistakenly taken into the camera... It seems that this picture should have been taken by an old fox.
Yu Xin continued to flip back, and as the photo changed and flashed, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in my mind.
"Wait a moment!"
Yu Xin was startled by me and raised her hand suddenly, "What's wrong?"
"Flip back the one above."
Yu Xin was stunned, "What's wrong? Could it be... It's like in Taihang Mountains, a ghost was taken into the photo..."
"No, not..."
After Yu Xin turned back, she enlarged the photo and stared at the person with the backpack behind Wanjinshan. The more I looked, the bigger my eyes became...
"What's wrong with A Leng?" Yu Xin asked in a low voice.
"This...this person..."
"What's wrong with this person?"
I withdrew my gaze, took a breath, and looked at Yu Xin, "It seems like I am alone."
"Like who?"
"Morning Star's adoptive father..."
"Sister Xing...adopted father?!" Yu Xin looked quite surprised.
"Um."
"It's what you told me before, killing Sister Xing's father, then carrying their property and taking the young Sister Xing to the UK, the one with the surname Xiao?"
"That's right, Xiaoshan..."
"Is it really him?" Yu Xin asked in a daze.
I'm not sure, the photo itself is not very clear, and the person behind Wanjinshan is even less clear, and it's just a side, I just feel a bit like...
"If it were him, how could he appear in this photo?" Yu Xin said.
Qingshi Town is a famous town, and there are tourists from all over the world every day. Although Xiaoshan was in the UK before, according to Chenxing, he often returned to China for vacation. If it was said that Xiaoshan was going to Qingshi Town for vacation, it was not impossible. However, Xiaoshan appeared in this photo, it would be impossible... There was no such coincidence in the world. Xiaoshan happened to pass by and was photographed by the old fox... If it was a coincidence, it would be incredible...
Suddenly, I remembered that Xiaoshan was a tomb robber many years ago. After learning the art of Yin and Yang and Five Elements from his brother Lao Hu, Wan Jinshan was also engaged in the tomb robbery industry... The so-called tomb robbery, the things robbed were basically sold abroad at high prices, and Xiao Shan was just abroad... Could it be that Xiaoshan and Wan Jinshan have a business cooperation relationship?
In this photo, Wan Jinshan is holding a big brother that was popular in the 1990s and a pager is on his waist. It shows that these photos were taken in the 1990s. At that time, Big Brother and Pager were the status symbols of rich people (if you want to save face, one is more than ten iPhones and other things). So I think these photos should be taken by Wan Jinshan when he went to Qingshi Town to visit the old fox after he made a fortune through tomb robbery... So, in the photo, is the person behind Wan Jinshan really Xiaoshan? He had a cooperative relationship with Wan Jinshan before?...
At this time, I thought of the "unspeakable secret" hidden in Chenxing's heart again, and I felt in my heart that Chenxing's "secret" might be related to her adoptive father Xiao Shan... Thinking of Chenxing, my heart hurts like a needle, and I suddenly want to see her immediately...
After looking back a few photos, the old photos disappeared, and the rest were all personal travel photos of Wanjinshan (Wanjinshan loves selfies than the current post-90s girl, and is also drunk). I also expect that there is nothing in this photo to see Wanjinshan and the mysterious Gao Qien in these photos. Apart from these photos, there is nothing else in this computer. Judging from this situation, the reason why Wanjinshan has no locked system is because in his opinion, there are only some photos and nothing valuable...
I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment, but if I go out along the fork, I don't know if the "ghost thing" is guarding the fork. However, with this notebook lighting, I won't be afraid of it...
When I was about to tell Yu Xin to leave, suddenly, a figure of a person flashed vaguely on the screen of the notebook. I was shocked and instinctively grabbed the water cup next to the notebook, smashed it backwards. Then, I suddenly jumped up, and the moment I turned around, I touched a lonely divine talisman from my pocket in my hand...
When I looked closely, I saw that there was one more person in the room. With the light of the laptop screen, I saw that this person was wearing a dirty and wrinkled shroud. It was indeed the dead man Liu!... But, at this moment, I looked at "him" and felt indescribable. His appearance was no different from what we saw in the funeral home before... Finally, I found that there was nothing different from his eyes. It was his eyes! A dead man, his eyes looked like a living person, but it was different from a living person. Although his eyes were shiny, his eyes were not moving, and his eyelids didn't even blink... I understood suddenly...
"Yuxin is careful, something is attached to 'him'." I said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man rushed towards me. I jumped, and I jumped to both sides with Yu Xin. I swung my hand and hit Gu Xu's divine talisman, but failed to hit. The old man rushed towards me horizontally. I raised my foot and kicked it, and it felt like I was kicking the steel plate again as before. Under the influence of the reaction force, I stepped out several steps, and knocked down the small wardrobe against the wall.
The old man did not continue to attack me or Yu Xin, but turned and rushed towards the laptop on the table... A thought flashed through my heart. Why is this ghost so smart? As long as we break the laptop and lose the light, we will be passive...
Yu Xin rolled on the ground, grabbed the notebook before the old man, and jumped to the side. The old man rushed towards her.
I quickly took out an ice talisman, slammed it into my palm, eliminated all distracting thoughts, and silently recited the Yiqi magic spell. After the ice talisman became cold, I suddenly opened my eyes and saw that the old man had already pinched Yu Xin's neck. I stepped forward and smashed the ice talisman hard, 'slap', and hit the old man on the back.
The old man was as if he was electrocuted, his whole body twitched violently, let go of Yuxin's neck, poured it on the ground, and shook it a few times before he stopped moving.
"Yu Xin, are you okay?"
"No... cough cough... it's okay..."
