No. 7 Fish House

Early the next morning, Yang Mingzhen was walking to the office with a bag of steamed buns when he was stopped by someone on the way.It is said that something happened to Zhang's house last night, a young man surnamed He was imprisoned in the woodshed by the housekeeper Fu Bo.As soon as Yang Mingzhen heard the young man surnamed He, he immediately thought of He Fu, who was as white as a ghost, and he didn't want the steamed bun in his hand, so he threw it to others, and rushed to Zhang's mansion with a team of police .

Why did He Fu appear in Zhang's residence, and why was he caught?What kind of tricks is this kid playing.

When he came to Zhang's mansion, he called Uncle Fu and asked Uncle Fu to open the door of the woodshed.

Uncle Fu took out the key from his waist and went to open the door very reluctantly. While opening the door, he said: "Officer Yang, this man is a monster. I got up in the middle of the night last night and saw a dark shadow roll past the lady's room. Both our lady and the master were gone." If you want to see him, you must be careful."

"Okay, I know, I'll just go in for a while and you guys watch outside." Yang Mingzhen thought to himself: Don't I know if he is a monster or not?If he really took your lady and master away, can he still wait for you to be imprisoned in the woodshed?

With a sound of 'squeak—', the door opened, and a clean and handsome young man sat in the pile of firewood. He was still wearing the snow-white long gown, and looked at the person at the door with a pair of eyes with a slight smile. , and said hello very politely, "Good morning, Officer Yang, have you had breakfast?"

"Eat a fart breakfast, I heard you were arrested early in the morning, so I drove this way." Yang Mingzhen closed the door, his face livid, "Did you hide Zhang Guanhe?"

He Fu said innocently: "If I say no, will Officer Yang believe me?"

"If you really did it, I'm afraid you ran away last night without a trace." Yang Mingzhen grinned, "Tell me, what did you see last night, and is Zhang Suru who you found really real?" Whether it’s fake or not, where did you find it, and explain it to me.”

He searched for several days but couldn't find Zhang Suru, not even a single hair. He Fucai only took one day to find Zhang Suru. He couldn't believe it.

He Fu raised his beautiful eyebrows slightly, and said: "Monsters have their own tricks. That Zhang Suru was pretended by a clerk in my shop. As for what I saw in Zhang Suru's room last night, I think Officer Yang must have told me what I said. Do not believe."

Yang Mingzhen frowned. He had seen the clerk in He Fu shop twice, once in front of the gate of the police station, and once in No. 1.8 fish restaurant.The young man was called Xing Ting, and he was about [-] meters tall. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't become the petite and lovely Zhang Suru.

But right now there is something more important than Xing Ting's disguise, and that is Zhang Guanhe's disappearance.

"If you don't tell me, how do you know I won't believe it?" Yang Mingzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what did you see last night! Who kidnapped Zhang Guanhe?"

He Fu was very honest, he explained everything he saw last night clearly.

"After eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhang's family was asleep. I hid in Zhang Suru's closet and saw Zhang Suru's shadow on the wall moved. She took a knife and wanted to kill 'Zhang Suru' lying on the bed, that is, my buddy Xing Ting I was waiting for this shadow to kill people, so I stayed in the closet all the time, and at this moment Zhang Guanhe knocked on the door."

"Xing Ting went to open the door. Zhang Guanhe brought him a bowl of lily porridge. It is said that it was Zhang Suru's favorite lily porridge. After Xing Ting drank half of the bowl, he fell unconscious on the table."

Hearing this, Yang Mingzhen interrupted He Fu, "You said that Xing Ting came back to Zhang's house pretending to be Zhang Suru, and then Zhang Guanhe brought him a bowl of lily porridge, and he fell down? Zhang Guanhe took the lily porridge Poison your own daughter?"

He Fu nodded.

Yang Mingzhen continued to speculate, "Why did he poison his daughter? Did he find out that the Zhang Suru you brought back is fake?"

"Probably so." He Fu smiled slightly and continued, "Because the real Zhang Suru is dead, the reappearance of Zhang Suru, whether it is true or not, will terrify Zhang Guanhe. So Zhang Guanhe wants to kill this fake Zhang Suru no matter what the cost. .”

When He Fu said this, his eyes were fixed on Yang Mingzhen, and Yang Mingzhen was so stared at that the hairs in his heart froze.He felt that this kid He Fu was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai. On the surface he was saying that Zhang Guanhe had killed his daughter, but secretly he was pointing out that he had killed He Fu twice.

Yang Mingzhen suddenly felt something was wrong again, "Why do you say that Zhang Suru is dead, Zhang Guanhe will be frightened when he sees her appear."

"Because he was the one who killed Zhang Suru." He Fu spoke very calmly, as if discussing the good weather today.

Yang Mingzhen was very surprised: "Do you have any evidence?"

He Fu said: "On the street behind Zhang's house, there is a well hidden in the grass, where I saw a person's footprints, one deep and one shallow."

"There is something wrong with Zhang Guanhe's feet, but—" Yang Mingzhen said, "It doesn't mean that he killed Zhang Suru? Did you find Zhang Suru's body in that well?"

He Fu replied: "No. The well is too dirty, and my clothes are afraid of getting dirty."

Yang Mingzhen was so angry that he couldn't speak, then he opened the firewood room door and yelled at the people outside, "You two, go to the street behind Zhang's house and see what's under that well in the grass."

"Yes!"

After a while, two police officers came back to report.

"Captain, there is nothing at the bottom of the well, so we found a hairpin." The policeman handed the hairpin to Yang Mingzhen.

Yang Mingzhen took the hairpin, looked at it carefully, and asked Uncle Fu: "Have you seen it?"

Fu Bo was shocked: "This is our lady's, our lady's hairpin!"

He Fu smiled and looked at Yang Mingzhen.

Yang Mingzhen said: "The hairpin belongs to Zhang Suru, so it proves that she did stay by the well. Even so, you can't prove that Zhang Guanhe killed her. What's more, Zhang Guanhe loves his daughter like his life. Why did he kill her?" My own daughter."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Fu hurriedly shouted: "Officer Yang must be the monster who lied, obviously he used a gust of evil wind last night to sweep away the master and the lady, he is now shouting "Stop the thief!"

Yang Mingzhen glared at Uncle Fu angrily: "The police handle the case, idlers should not talk!"

Forbe shut up aggrievedly.

Only then did Yang Mingzhen remember to ask He Fu: "Did you see that evil wind last night?"

He Fu nodded: "I see, after Zhang Guanhe poured his daughter's medicine, he wanted to drag her out of the room, then the door opened suddenly, and a black wind swept away the two of them."

Yang Mingzhen asked again: "Then why didn't you go after him?"

He Fu replied, "I can't run as fast as the wind."

Yang Mingzhen was furious, this man's words were to piss him off, at one moment he said he was afraid of getting his clothes dirty, and at another moment he said that he was not running fast.

"That's all right, let me assume that what you are telling is the truth, so please tell me where that gust of evil wind can take such a big two living people away?" He Fu, he wants to see what kind of flowers this person can make up.

He Fu smiled: "I have to ask Police Officer Yang about this matter, you have searched the police station for so many days, haven't you found out where the tiger statue is?"

Yang Mingzhen was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what he wanted to find He Fu today.A few days ago, after leaving Zhang's mansion, He Fu asked him to help find out where the tiger statue was, and where Zhang Guanhe used to live.

Cui Liang, a trainee police officer at the police station, spent a lot of effort and compared them one by one, only to find that the tiger statue was in a small village.

And the name of that small village is - Copper Tiger Village.

"The bronze statue of the tiger is in Tonghu Village, but Tonghu Village disappeared because of a mudslide ten years ago, and the whole village disappeared." Yang Mingzhen said, "What are you looking for?"

He Fu said very mysteriously: "Zhang Guanhe once came to No. [-] Fish House to look for me. He told me that Tonghu Village was gone, but he was threatened by the people of Tonghu Village. Because he had been to this place, the people of Tonghu Village There is a unique secret technique, they can make people's shadows dance."

It was only then that Yang Mingzhen felt that the old man surnamed Zhang had played a trick on him, "Damn, Zhang Guanhe dared to hide from me, how many times did I lead people to investigate before I found out his old background, this son of a bitch It’s not too many times to die for such a thing.”

He took Cui Liang to look through the information about Zhang Guanhe again and again, only to find that Zhang Guanhe was once called Zhang Shu and was born in Tonghu Village.

Tonghu Village is an isolated place, and the people there basically rely on mountains to eat mountains, and water to eat water.The folk customs are very simple, it can be said that the road does not pick up lost things, and every family helps each other.

Their only hobby is planting trees, and they planted all the green trees all over the mountains. The bronze tiger statue at the bottom of the mountain is their patron saint, guarding thousands of trees for them.

When Zhang Shu was ten years old, he fell ill and there was no cure in the village.The big guys chipped in to send him outside the village for treatment.

After entering the city, Zhang Shu was fascinated by the bustling world outside the city. He didn't want to go home, but only wanted to have his own place in this bustling city.

Ten-year-old Zhang Shu was adopted by a businessman couple, and then renamed Zhang Guanhe.

Ten years later, Zhang Guanhe's adoptive parents died, and the Zhang family's money was almost spent. He got off the gambling table and remembered that he still had a hometown.

At that time, there was a shortage of timber in the tea city, so he decided not to be a timber merchant, but to cut down all the trees that his ancestors had planted for generations and sell them in the city, maybe he could make a lot of money.

He took his last money, packed himself a suit, and went to Tonghu Village pretending to be a big boss. He found the village head and wanted to negotiate the deal with them, and bought the trees in Tonghu Village at the lowest price. .He took more than a dozen brothers to Tonghu Village to appreciate trees.

People in Tonghu Village love trees very much, and they think trees are the most important part of their lives.As the saying goes, predecessors plant trees and descendants enjoy the shade.If this large area of ​​trees is cut down, where will their descendants go to enjoy the shade, and how can they be worthy of their ancestors?

Zhang Guanhe said brazenly: "In the future, the money I earn will be enough to feed a whole village of you. You just have to listen to me and make sure you follow us to the city to eat delicious food and spicy food, and we will build good houses for you. Never again Need to live in this broken thatched hut."

The village head brought these words to every household in the village, hoping to hear their opinions.

People in Tonghu Village have been farmers for generations, so they don't know that the merchants are treacherous.In fact, they also want to live a good life and leave some money for their children, but they are also reluctant to part with the trees all over the mountains and plains.

After much consideration, the people of Tonghu Village decided to hand over one-tenth of the trees.

Zhang Guanhe thought to himself, one-tenth is one-tenth, and when you get the benefits, the remaining nine-tenths will also be mine.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Zhang Guanhe brought a team of people to mine the trees and transported them to the tea city in batches.Selling it at a high price, he made a lot of money, and later divided the money among the people in Tonghu Village.

The first transaction is successful, and naturally there will be a second and a third.Until the villagers of Tonghu Village thought that they had ushered in a savior, they treated Zhang Guanhe well and performed shadow dancing for them.

Zhang Guanhe had heard when he was very young that there was some kind of magic technique in the village that could make people's shadows escape from him.

It's just that only one family knows this kind of technique.

He became curious and wanted to meet the family.That night, he saw the man who could manipulate shadows.

That person turned out to be a young girl, who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.Sitting under a tree alone, he manipulated two shadows behind the curtain to perform dances for him.

Seeing that there was no one around, he ran over and belittled the girl. The girl was dumb, she couldn't shout or cry, her beautiful eyes reflected the stars in the sky, and she shed tears in despair.

After Zhang Guanhe finished his work, he threw a wad of money to her and said, "Why cry, I can afford the money."

The next day, the girl committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Zhang Guanhe looked at the corpses floating in the river, and smiled: "I really can't bear the blow, didn't I give you money?"

The village chief stood nearby and heard this, and he said to Zhang Guanhe, "Come with me."

It turned out that someone saw what happened between Zhang Guanhe and that girl that night, and told the village head about it.

The village chief said: "Boss Zhang, our village is small, and some things will spread quickly. You should leave quickly. You have brought so many benefits to our village. I will pretend that this incident never happened. "

Zhang Guanhe smiled and said, "Isn't it just a girl, what about it? Don't tell me we won't cooperate anymore?"

"No cooperation." The village chief said, "The trees in the mountains have been cut down by you. If you continue to cut down, the gods will punish us."

"Oh, God? I've lived here for ten years, why haven't I seen him punish me?"

The village head was a little puzzled when he heard this sentence, "What did you just say?"

Zhang Guanhe said, "It's nothing. I'm an idiot if I don't make money if I have money. I've already promised to hand over wood to the people over there. If you say no, then where can I find so many trees?"

The village chief said, "At worst, we will pay you the money."

"Compensation?" Zhang Guanhe said, "The liquidated damages are doubled, can you people afford it?"

The village chief trembled, "This..."

Zhang Guanhe said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't pay, you let me take away the tree on the mountain over there, and we will never communicate again from now on."

"No, you will suffer retribution." The village head strongly objected.

Zhang Guanhe said: "That's fine, you will send me the double liquidated damages in two days."

When He Fu flipped through the information in his hand and saw Zhang Guanhe, Yang Mingzhen said angrily: "Do you know what this son of a bitch Zhang Guanhe did?"

"He took people up the mountain overnight and removed a large number of trees on the mountain, leaving only a dozen lonely trees in the whole village!"

According to the information, at the end of July of that year, the trees in Tonghu Village disappeared overnight, there was a sudden heavy rain in the village, and a huge mudslide destroyed the entire village.

No one reaches out to them.

89 lives became lonely souls overnight.

Tonghu Village became ruins...

It was not until a year later that someone discovered this disappearing paradise.

The bronze tiger statue is still guarding the village, but the villagers don't know where they went.

"It's really not a pity to die!" Yang Mingzhen scolded angrily.

He Fu pursed his lips and smiled: "The gods punished, so now Zhang Guanhe has suffered retribution."

He walked out of the firewood room and glanced sideways at Yang Mingzhen, "Does Officer Yang want to see his retribution?"
