Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

After leaving the cave, Chen Tianqi went down the mountain first.

Several police cars were parked at the foot of the mountain, inspecting passing vehicles. Actually, it’s because in a few days, there will be a bicycle race to be held on the mountain.

The police came here just for a general security drill, not to arrest Song Zhize at all.

But Chen Tianqi didn't think so. He thought Song Zhize was some kind of fugitive and the police set up a roadblock to capture him.

Chen Tianqi walked over with his head lowered, and the police did not stop him. After leaving the foot of the mountain, Chen Tianqi walked around the nearby road.

I have been thinking about how to send Song Zhize down the mountain and how to send him to a safe place.

At this time, a call came from a relative, asking him to buy some things for the funeral banquet tonight.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Chen Tianqi's mind.

.

At noon, Chen Tianqi returned to the mountain and had a meal at home. Then think about this plan.

At six o'clock in the evening, more than 100 relatives, friends, and former colleagues of Chen Gushan went to the ancestral hall to mourn him.

Chen Gushan was once the director of a steel factory. He was responsible and very popular. Everyone who came had an envelope with some money in it.

Originally, the money was given in red envelopes to celebrate Chen Gushan's birthday. As the happy event turned into a funeral, everyone changed all the red envelopes into envelopes and turned them into condolences.

The money is the same, but the people are gone.

Everyone walked into the ancestral hall one by one and bowed to Chen Gushan.

After they came out, they all said, "Hey, why did you leave so suddenly?" that's too regretful.

After a while, the cook cooked the food and served it to the table. It was a big fish and meat. Everyone stayed to have a meal and drink some wine.

At eight o'clock in the evening, after eating and drinking, we went back with the gift bag.

The gift packs have not been changed, they are all duck eggs, noodles, and safe.

When leaving, Chen Gushan's family members reminded them one by one outside the door, "At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the old man (Chen Gushan) will be sent to the funeral home to hold the final farewell ceremony for his body. If you have time, come and send it off."

"Okay, definitely."

.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Tianqi went to the cave and saw Song Zhize.

"How's your foot injury?"

"I can barely walk," Song Zhize said.

"You are in a very dangerous situation now. The whole mountain is full of people looking for you. You can only go down the mountain if you do what I say."

"How to do it? I will listen to you."

"Hide in the coffin."

"What?" Song Zhize's eyes widened.

Chen Tianqi said that there are police outside now, and every car has to be inspected, so you can't get down the mountain at all.

There is only one safest place in this village now, which is the ancestral hall and the coffin of my grandfather Chen Gushan.

You hide in the coffin, and at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning, the funeral home's car will come to take away the coffin. At that time, I will think of a way to drive the car alone.

"This way I can use the car to drop you off." Chen Tianqi said the plan he had been thinking about for a long time.

Although it was a bit bold and a bit "rebellious" to do this, Chen Tianqi thought to himself that grandpa loves me and he will definitely not blame me.

Why. Grandpa, why did you die so suddenly? Thinking of this, Chen Tianqi felt a little sad again.

Song Zhize gritted his teeth, okay! As long as you can leave, lie in the coffin.

.

So the two took action.

At half past eleven in the evening, Chen Tianqi took Song Zhize to the ancestral hall through a dark path. Song Zhize's leg was injured and every step he took hurt, but the pain was nothing at the moment.

After walking for 10 minutes, we arrived at the ancestral hall.

Chen Tianqi went in first and said to a relative who was keeping vigil inside, "You go have a meal, smoke a cigarette, and take a rest. I'll keep watch this hour."

After the relatives left, Chen Tianqi came to the back of the ancestral hall, climbed up the wall, and pulled Song Zhize in.

The two walked into the interior of the ancestral hall, which was decorated decently.

Chen Gushan was lying in the ice coffin, and a wooden coffin was already placed next to him.

The wooden coffin was prepared as early as last year. The 80-year-old man had already made arrangements for his death and ordered a good coffin.

Chen Tianqi bowed three times to his grandfather, "Grandpa, are you cold or not? You have to finish this last journey well. Chen Tianqi is unfilial. I will lend you your coffin. Don't blame me."

There was a tear in his eye. Grandpa loved Chen Tianqi very much in the past and said that Chen Tianqi would definitely be rich and prosperous in the future.

But now, in his 30s, he has not found a wife and has no money, so he is very embarrassed.

Now was the turning point in his life, and this had to be done.

Chen Tianqi opened the coffin, and there was still a woody fragrance inside.

Song Zhize lay down, and Chen Tianqi said, "Remember, just stay in there and don't make any movement."

Song Zhize nodded, and Chen Tianqi closed the coffin, leaving a gap so that Song Zhize could breathe.

Then he sat in the room, smoking cigarettes, burning paper money, and keeping vigil.

After a while, relatives came back from rest and said they wanted to take over.

Chen Tianqi said, "You can go back and rest. I will just watch over you tonight."

He must stay here, unable to leave the two coffins, waiting for the funeral home's car to arrive.

The relatives were also tired and went back.

.

At night, in the mountains, the ancestral hall was so quiet that only the sound of the wind blowing through the trees could be heard.

In the silence, Chen Tianqi recalled the past with his grandfather Chen Gushan. Chen Gushan was a good man. He was originally the director of a steel factory. He was honest, hard-working and had a good reputation.

Even after retirement, the new leaders of the steel plant and his former colleagues would come to see him.

After retirement, Chen Gushan lived in an old house, and his eldest daughter took care of him.

He and his grandfather lived in the same village, but it had been a long time since he went to Chen Gushan's house for dinner.

We eat once a month, and every time we go there in a hurry. Chen Gushan cooks himself and prepares a table of delicious dishes, including Chen Tianqi's favorite twice-cooked pork and braised fish.

Chen Gushan told him to eat more, but every time he took a few bites, he went to watch TV. He was so bored that he didn't know what to talk about with Chen Gushan, so he left after an hour.

But now the food cooked by grandpa can no longer be eaten.

At the same time, Song Zhize was lying in the coffin, feeling dull. He had a headache and sore feet. He closed his eyes and could not make any sound. Memories also appeared in his mind in the darkness.

In order to get the position of chief engineer of the Construction Institute, he accepted the cooperation of Mr. Zhao.

Step by step, he reached the peak of his life, but with the collapse of the Jishan Bridge, his life was also destroyed.

Is there any way out for me? Where do I run away to?

At this moment, a thought suddenly popped up in Song Zhize's mind. How about I cooperate with the police and become a tainted witness?

Jishan Bridge is a landmark building invested and constructed by K City with an investment of 20 billion.

In this project, not only Mr. Zhao, but also many people were involved behind the scenes, and many people benefited. Song Zhize knew the names of those people.

If I surrender these people, will there be a chance of survival? Can the sentence be reduced by a few years? How many years will it be?

Song Zhize thought secretly in his heart.
