Chapter 71 The Hanged Man

The lights in Han Mo's room are very warm, but when it comes to his father's death, there seems to be a cold atmosphere around him:

"I told you that my grandfather was a ghost and a ghost who lied to Han Qijian, but my father was an ordinary person who was upright and almost pedantic because my grandma didn't like deception. He was not well-educated, married early and went to work in the city. That's great. After his grandfather passed away, he went home to farm. He was an ordinary farmer, and he didn't even know that his father was a well-known liar in urban legends... The proudest thing in his life was that I was admitted to the University."

Qiao Yang listened quietly.

Han Mo continued: "I haven't mentioned my mother too much to you, because my mother passed away in an accident very early. My father didn't remarry after his wife's death. He only made money steadily for me to study. He works very well. Fighting, getting sick all the time, I have been worried that he will not live long, and he has talked to me many times... saying that even if he is gone, I will live a good life."

"I was brought up by my grandfather since I was a child, and my father was clumsy and rigid in tongue, so I was not close to him. When I was graduating from senior year, I heard that my father had passed away. I was sad for a while, and got on the train home. It just calmed down more or less... At that time, I thought that he died of illness."

"When I got home, my relatives in the village had already helped me with everything they could do. My dad's body had been in a coffin at home for three days, and the day after I got home, I would be sent to the town for cremation. I asked what the cause of my dad's death was. What, my relatives told me that I committed suicide by hanging. The police in the town found my dad’s diagnosis certificate of liver cancer at home, and suspected that he didn’t want to drag me down... I didn’t doubt it at first, I just went to the room where the dead man died to take a good look at him , but I found the problem at this glance... My dad's left leg ankle has traces of being tied up with a rope, as if someone tied his leg and hung him up, just like this." Han Mo took out The phone found a picture and showed it to Qiao Yang.

Qiao Yang was surprised: "The Hanged Man in the Tarot card?"

"Well, this was the first thing I thought of when I saw the scar." Han Mo continued, "Tarot cards are used for divination, and many Western deceptions are related to it. My grandfather told me about it when I was young. The Hanged Man It is a very interesting card in the Tarot. The person on the card is a justice messenger. He delivered justice and caused people's panic and unhappiness. So people hung him up to punish him, but he didn't resent because of it, he just chose to See the world from a different angle. So this card means self-sacrifice and dedication.”

"When it is upright," Han Mo gestured to the upside-down card in the phone, "this card means good, which means learning lessons, gaining from the ashes, and rebirth from the ashes. And when it is upside down When you’re in the seat,” he flipped his phone so that the person on the card was head up and feet down, “the meaning is the exact opposite. It means stubbornness, senseless sacrifice, and punishment.”

"Uncle was hanged, but there are signs of binding on his legs...he is the Hanged Man upside down?" Qiao Yang murmured, feeling chills all over his body.

"Yeah." Han Mo nodded, "I thought so too, so I asked the police who were investigating the scene at the time, but the police said there was nothing suspicious. I checked the house inside and out, and found that many things had been moved, There are traces of being rummaged, and the fields at home have been turned over in many places, obviously someone once tried to find something from my house."

"However, my father's death has been determined as a suicide, and the death certificate has also been issued. I have no choice but to cremate my father and bury him next to my grandfather's grave... It's time to go back to school to get my graduation certificate. But he was still brooding over the cause of his father's death, and when he was struggling with what to do, Lao Qin found me, and when he saw me, he slapped my thigh and stammered, "Oh, I'm late!"

"Oh, he mentioned...he was the first person to find you after something happened to your family." Qiao Yang nodded.

"Well, Lao Qin told me that he actually came to inform my dad that the person who killed my dad was my grandfather's enemy—I just happened to tell you about those few."

"Could it be?" Qiao Yang suddenly said, "Could it be the four accomplices of your grandfather who fled with 1305 million taels and left the gold in Suyang Mountain?!"

"Yes."

"Hiss...!" Qiao Yang took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "What your grandfather told you is true?! Could it be a story... 1305 million taels of gold was transferred from Suyang Mountain to Tunri Mountain by him ! And you know where the treasure is hidden!?"

Han Mo grinned and didn't answer.

Qiao Yang was anxious, sitting on the bed and moving: "What are you laughing at? Tell me the truth, have you ever visited that treasure spot, is there any gold? What did you do with the gold? What does 1305 million taels of gold look like?" of?"

Han Mo blinked, his long eyelashes made Qiao Yangxin's hair crisp.Qiao Yang had no choice but to give up the topic, and said instead: "Continue talking about those four enemies."

Han Mo moved to Qiao Yang and sat next to him, and continued to talk about the topic: "It was the four accomplices who killed my father, the famous liars and thieves in the early days of the founding of the country. Back then they hid the gold in the place my grandfather said , fled abroad, and promised to come back after many years... After discovering that the gold was missing, they were so angry that they kept asking for news about my grandpa in the other world... That's when Lao Qin noticed that someone was looking for my grandpa."

"Is he friends with your grandfather?" Qiao Yang asked, "The two of them are quite different in age, so they shouldn't be of the same generation?"

"We met a few times. Lao Qin was an orphan. When he was very young, he worked as a thief in my hometown. Once he stole from my grandfather and was caught by him on the spot. He had already reformed and turned into an old man at that time." , I let Lao Qin go to persuade him to be kind, and gave him a few words. Later, Lao Qin got out of the famous hall and heard the legend, so he came to ask my grandpa if it was a trick. My grandpa admitted it, and he was very Excited, when I was young, he often came to my grandpa to have tea and chat, and grandpa asked me to call him "Uncle Qin"... Maybe he was busy later, so he stopped showing up."

"Oh... so." Qiao Yang pondered, "He has a relationship with your family, no wonder you are so close."

"That's right. Lao Qin told me that he wanted to come early to remind my father to be careful, but at that time the world was turbulent, and he was afraid that taking this trip would arouse suspicion from others, so he stayed put and wanted to play by ear. He originally thought, My grandfather hid in the countryside for decades and then passed away. My father was a common man, and the four enemies could not find them... I never expected that the hospital where my father had his physical examination was a private hospital run by an enemy. , that man saw my dad in the hospital and thought he looked too much like grandpa, so he sent someone to check..." Han Mo closed his eyes sadly when he said this.

Qiao Yang grabbed his shoulders and brought him into his arms.

Han Mo showed a bitter smile: "In the past so many years, revenge has been avenged, and it's all right now..."

Qiao Yang reached out and rubbed Han Mo's hair.

Han Mo continued: "I heard the whole story from Lao Qin, I find it unbelievable. Although my grandpa has been bragging to me that he is a ghost, that he is the prototype of the characters in TV dramas and novels, and he has taught me a lot. Deception and other things, but he is just a bad old man who talks and brags in my heart. My biggest problem is just: I want to deceive people every day, and I feel that I am out of place in this society. What should I do?

"Unexpectedly, one day, a nightmare struck me, and I discovered that the stories I had heard as fairy tales were all true. Behind the four words, there was a fight for the benefit of the bloody forest, and my honest father died at the hands of my grandfather's enemy. , and Lao Qin told me that those four people hadn’t given up completely and were looking for the gold all over the country. They didn’t come to arrest me directly, probably because after interrogating my dad, he found that he really didn’t know anything. Secrets carried to the grave, not passed on to posterity...

"In the final analysis, it was my dad who saved me.

"My world view was impacted, grief, shock, hatred, suspicion, I asked Lao Qin how to prove what he said was true, Lao Qin took me to sneak close to the enemy who opened the hospital, and let me hear them talk about killing The details of my father's death, listening to them insulting my grandfather, and hearing them say: sooner or later, they will attack me.

"I was very scared, and at the same time I felt extremely angry. I asked Lao Qin what to do. Lao Qin said that if I take revenge, he is willing to help me, so my revenge began."

Qiao Yang bit his lower lip, and finally asked the biggest knot in his heart: "Did you force them to death with deception? Forced them to surrender, but they refused and chose to commit suicide?"

"You make it sound like they are heroes who would rather die than surrender." Han Mo laughed, shook his head again and again, and whispered in Qiao Yang's ear, "Believe it or not, Qiao Yang, those people didn't commit suicide but were murdered, but murder Theirs is not me."

Qiao Yang's eyes widened in surprise: "Who is that?" Really, did the professor hit the mark? !

Han Mo continued to whisper: "I don't know."

"what?"

"I don't know who it is. Every time the revenge is carried out to the end, we push the enemy to nowhere, and I will persuade the enemy to turn himself in. Every time, they agree tearfully and repent from the bottom of their hearts, and then the next day, they are killed. hanged at home."

Qiao Yang felt that Han Mo's tone was very gloomy: "How can you be sure that you were hanged...?"

"Because there is no footing under the feet, it is hung on the noose, and it looks like it was hung up by someone." Han Mo said softly.

Qiao Yang unconsciously withdrew his hands and rubbed his arms: "How could this be?"

"After the first enemy died, I suspected that it was Lao Qin who killed him, so I kept a close eye on Lao Qin during the second revenge. He was not suspicious at all, he was cowardly and cowardly, advancing and retreating with me, but the second one was still Died. I thought about it, and suspected that we were being targeted by someone, and someone followed us to harm someone, so I suspended my revenge, but the person died... At that time, the whole world said that I was crazy, people Everyone thought that those three committed suicide because they were deceived by me until there was no way out. The only remaining enemy was frightened and hid completely, and my purpose changed from revenge to saving people. I had to find the Old man, tell him to be careful of the real enemy... so he messed with his son and let his granddaughter lead the way to meet him."

"The old man was terrified when he saw me. I told others that I didn't kill him. He had better turn himself in immediately. The prison is the safest for him. Now that he has been found by me, the real murderer will definitely come soon." Come on...the old man didn't listen, so I had no choice but to stay and guard him with the old man's men, but it didn't work, he died anyway."

Qiao Yang frowned, thinking desperately: "Who is the murderer, and why did he do this?"

"Old Qin and I both guessed that they were their enemies. The murderers Renheng killed them. They took the initiative to seek revenge from my grandfather, but in the end they became the prey of their enemies." Han Mo got up and poured himself a glass of water, saying: " But that murderer was much taller than me. He hid very deeply and pushed four lives on my back. That’s when I started to be targeted by people from the Economic Special Operations Agency—they probably thought I was dangerous. Killing people by deceit - the real murderers go unpunished."

"Hmm..." Qiao Yang rubbed his chin, trying to process the large amount of information received today, "There is a creepy feeling..."

"It's a good thing to think about it from another angle," Han Mo handed him a glass of water, "At least no one cares about my life and wants to drive Han Qijian's descendants to extinction."

Qiao Yang sighed and nodded.

The room was quiet for a while, until Qiao Yang digested the content in his head, and started the next topic: "So, Lao Qin is really very reliable... Has he never asked you about gold?"

"Of course I did."

"Then how did you answer?"

"I told him that the treasure is hidden in Tunri Mountain, but my grandfather told me this as a story, and never said the specific treasure location."

"Then you lied to him, didn't you?"

Han Mo smiled slyly, and stretched out his hand to scratch the bridge of Qiao Yang's nose: "You're too tender for me."

Qiao Yang curled his lips, drew circles on the carpet with his feet, and muttered: "Actually, I have always suspected that Lao Qin is an insider. After all, he is a master hacker and has the most frequent contact with dragonborn... It seems that he guessed wrong. It wasn't him. Who else could it be? Could it be that, as Lao Qin said, it was Tutu who leaked our location to Dragonborn's thugs on the first floor of the Internet cafe? Or did those thugs chase Tutu up to the second floor?" confused.

"Maybe." Han Mo didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

Qiao Yang looked at him worriedly: "Actually, you don't want Tutu and the professor to leave, do you? There's no way around this. The world will always be divided..."

Han Mo raised the corner of his mouth with difficulty.

Qiao Yang took Han Mo's hand and tried to make him happy: "Don't be sad, remember what you taught me, we are accomplices, we may collapse for profit at any time, and we may get together for profit at any time. These two people are gone , there will naturally be other people to join, the most important thing is, I will always be by your side, always trust you, never betray you, from life to death, never leave."

"Sounds good." Han Mo raised his eyebrows, "I don't know who looked at me like a murderer today."

"Hey..." Qiao Yang smiled flatteringly, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have doubted you, the professor had already scolded me just now. I never expected that this guy who usually looks most at odds with you is a deep-seated Unrevealed fanboy."

"Hmm." Han Mo lifted his chin triumphantly, "Seeing your good attitude of admitting your mistakes, I will reward you with a hug." After speaking, he stretched out his arms to hug Qiao Yang, and gently covered Qiao Yang's left shoulder with both hands. Wound.

Qiao Yang hugged him back with one hand, put his face against Han Mo's chest, smelled the faint scent of shower gel on his body, closed his eyes to feel Han Mo's body temperature, and provocatively said softly, "It sounds good, but I just want to be loved by me." It’s just a hug! You’ve calculated so much, and you’ve been holding on at the police station, aren’t you tired?”

Han Mo remained silent, but only tightened his grip on Qiao Yang.

Qiao Yang laughed sullenly: "I forgot to tell you something... During the 48 hours you were detained, I missed you crazily every minute when I was fleeing and looking for a safe house. Welcome back." around.

Han Mo laughed silently, and rubbed his chin against Qiao Yang's heart: "Well, I'm back." Back to you.
