Wan San put down the empty wine bottle, leaned on the back of the chair, lost in thought.

"The company's most glorious moment was ten years ago. You may not have heard of Qinglong Transportation, but your parents' generation must know that our company's bulk cargo and leases can be seen in almost every city."

"It's a pity that after all, it started out doing dirty work, and its foundation was not clean. After it became bigger, it was boycotted by competitors, and internal management problems appeared one after another. It has reached an irreparable level, and was acquired by a newly emerging real estate company, Huasheng Group."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhuo couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and didn't hide his expression, which made Wansan couldn't help but stop narrating: "Why, do you have something to do with this company?"

"Well, I know some little secrets of their boss."

"Hmph, what other nonsense can there be, it's nothing more than keeping a few starlets and emptying the company's accounts. Everyone in the circle knows it, but it's just tacit understanding." Wan San sneered, "This world is indeed evil and evil. According to reports, his fate is not much better than mine."

"really."

Seeing that Zhou Zhuo had no intention of diverging, Wan San continued to talk.

"The story about me personally ends here. As you said, it has nothing to do with this matter. This mirror was taken from my brother. You shouldn't forget the grievances between him and me, right?"

"I didn't forget."

"There's nothing to say about that shit, so I won't repeat it. Do you know why I only spent seven years in prison?"

"Because you have connections in your family?" Although he knew that the other party was not showing off, Zhou Zhuo was deliberately showing this.

Wansan's mood was really broken, and he looked helpless: "How is it possible, it's because everyone in this case didn't hold me accountable, so I was sentenced lightly."

"what?"

This time, Zhou Zhuo's divergent thinking did not expect to unfold.

"Actually, there is nothing surprising. He is an orphan. He escaped from the orphanage. He has been living on the streets since he was a child. He has no father and no mother. If my family gave him a bite of food, he would have starved to death."

"He also knew that he owed me a debt, and he couldn't repay it. After the incident, a brother in the gang called him in advance to inform him to run away. He didn't, but wrote a suicide note in advance, saying that he would not hold me accountable, and then waited for me at home. , hacked him to death with one knife."

"..."

This time Zhou Zhuo failed to pick up the words. The environment of the times is different. The children in the past yearned infinitely for the brotherhood of the young and Dangerous, but now the young people are full of two-dimensional and abstract words. It is completely unrealistic to understand each other. of.

"There are two parts in his last words. The first part is that he voluntarily died under my hands. This kind of thing will definitely not be recognized by the law, but it can be used as a commutation circumstance. In addition, I voluntarily surrendered and behaved in prison. It was good, so it was released after only being closed for seven years."

"The other part of the last words is the distribution of the inheritance. In fact, there is nothing. His house is rented. He may not be willing to sell the pile of rags inside to the garbage dump. He said that the only valuable thing in it is this mirror. He feels ashamed. One life is used to repay my kindness, and this mirror is my compensation."

"He didn't elaborate on what was going on, but only wrote one sentence: If you ever get into trouble, take this mirror and go to Xiaoshangang Village to find Yang Weimin."

"In order to repay the company's debts, I sold all my RVs. I found this thing out of the box when I was sorting things out a while ago. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I might as well try it out. I just inquired about it and started planning."

"Then I met you in the car. You may not believe me when I tell you. The greatest skill in my life is to see people. I can tell at a glance that you are not an ordinary passenger. You are not here to relax, but to investigate things. "

Wansan held up the shard of the mirror, looked left and right at the overhead light, but couldn't find any problems.

In fact, Zhou Zhuo didn't deliberately cover it up. The behavior of asking questions in the car itself is easy to arouse suspicion. As long as people pay attention to observe, they will find something strange. It's just that Wansan will follow him in the fog, which leads to The purpose of the action is exposed in advance.

"It took me a lot of effort to find out that the former Xiaoshangang Village has now become a tourist attraction, a misty town, but Yang Weimin is well known to everyone. They all say that he is a good mayor, smart, capable, and almost all I have been active on the job all year, never asked for leave, and no matter what I have to do, I rushed to the front line."

"It sounds strange." Zhou Zhuo said, "Although it is a positive image, it seems a bit incongruous if it is too positive. How can a person who is truly dedicated to the people let the whole town know his glorious deeds."

"Yes, after careful investigation, I found out that a major event happened in Xiaoshangang Village back then, but it disappeared without a trace under the burial of someone with a heart. The source of everything is the mysterious mayor, Yang Weimin."

After the segment of recalling the glorious past, Wan San's expression became serious.

"What's the big deal?" Zhou Zhuo asked.

Wan San held back for a long time, and then popped out three words: "I don't know."

Zhou Zhuo almost dropped his head on the table. He co-authored with you for a long time to contemplate, and he was full of memories and emotions. He didn't know anything that was really useful?

Wan San was suddenly embarrassed by Zhou Zhuo's expression, and scratched his head: "You can't blame me, no one has been able to find out this matter for more than ten years, how could it be cleared by me in a few days?" ?”

"Did you just move your mind recently?"

"Nonsense, I'll give you a sock and tell you that it was worn by Elizabeth, and it can be sold for 100 million at Christie's auction, do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Zhou Zhuo shook his head and understood Wan San's thoughts at the same time.

That brother may really want to make up for him, but a mirror is really not convincing. It's like giving you half a cake to go to Beijing to find the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice to exchange for glory and wealth. It sounds great, but it still depends on other people's wishes. If you don't want to.

At that time, Wansan spent 7 years in prison first, and then became the boss of the company after he got out. Of course, he didn't think about it. Now that he is down and out, he will think about this kind of crooked way, but after all, it has been more than ten years. , trees will change, not to mention people?

"Now it's your turn to speak." Wansan said.

"No hurry, it's still early." Zhou Zhuo waved his hand, "Before I start the lecture, I hope you can tell me one thing, what do you want to get from this mirror, the glory and wealth in the peak period?"

Wansan didn't expect Zhou Zhuo to say such a realistic thing, he was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.

"No, you may have some misunderstandings about this society. The bankruptcy of the company does not mean that I am bankrupt. Compared with my heyday, my wealth is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. rich."

"I even made a will. When I die, I will leave half of my property to my daughter. She is married and lives abroad. This money can make her squander lavishly and may not be used up in her lifetime. The rest will be donated to the orphanage , regardless of the economic situation.”

"As for the sale of the real estate, I just sold a few of them. I am not the only one who needs to bear the debt, but the collective equity holders."

Zhou Zhuo didn't expect that his question made the old guy play around and pretend to be a big bully, and he was in great pain immediately, Jiang was really old and spicy.

"That?"

"How should I put it, you are not at this age, and you can't empathize with many things. For me now, life has been enough. There have been peaks and lows. Now it is completely impossible to start again, so What I want now is neither money nor health, but 'nianxiang'."

"I just want to know how sincere the old brother is in admitting his mistakes. If I don't understand this matter, I may always think about it after I die. If the weight of this mirror is not enough, then I have to find a way to make him die again. ah."

The last sentence returned to the theme, revealing Wansan's vicious side, and also reminding Zhou Zhuo that this is not a kind uncle, but a once powerful gangster.

After Zhou Zhuo thought for a while, he told Wansan part of what he had learned. Regardless of his identity, this person is indeed an excellent partner worthy of cooperation. He is smart, pure, and has enough strength——

Just like what Wansan said just now, a skinny camel is bigger than a donkey. Zhou Zhuo doesn't believe that the gangster who managed to dominate the whole process back then can completely dissipate. As long as a small amount of strength is gathered, it will be terrible.

And no one knows what the group of rash boys will transform into now.

"So, my brother may be the businessman who sold mirrors back then?"

A look of reminiscence appeared on Wan San's face, and a moment later he punched the hammer on the palm of his hand and exclaimed: "Yes, he did know a big boss who made mirrors back then."

"That person was fooled by a foreigner and took a small batch of deposits to make a large amount of goods. As a result, when it was time for delivery, the other party disappeared, and a large amount of goods were pressed in the warehouse and could not be processed. The boss was very nervous at the time. Helpless, the capital chain of the factory will be short if it drags on any longer, so I took out bonuses to motivate my subordinates to find a way to sell these mirrors."

"Damn it, I said at that time why there was so much cash in this kid's property. I thought he had blackmailed some big boss. I didn't dare to take it at the time, so I donated it all. The co-author came from here!"

With Wansan's mention, the order of things is in line, but there is still a little bit of trouble.

"What does the blood on the back of this mirror mean? Is it related to the ghosts in the village?" Wan San said.

"I have to ask you, if it really involves something supernatural, even if you are restricted and can't speak, your brother should find a way to remind you, are you sure he only left you a note?"

Wan San thought for a moment, and frowned.

"It is true that he left me a lot of things, but at that time my mind was full of hatred, and I didn't even think about it, including this broken mirror, which I took out out of curiosity. These things are all stored in my It may take some time to bring it back to my new home, do you mind waiting for a day?"

"There is no one in your house?" Zhou Zhuo reminded, "You can ask a friend to help you find it, take a photo and transfer it to your phone, it will be much more efficient."

"No, I can never trust anyone, and since it involves gods and ghosts, what if I hurt innocent people?"

Saying that, Wansan stood up and walked out.

"I'm going back now. I'll be back around noon. I'll bring back all the things he left behind. You wait for me at the hotel."

Zhou Zhuo glanced at the clock above his head. It was already five o'clock in the morning. As expected of a mafia tycoon, he was still in his 50s with such terrifying executive power.

Since the other party proposed, of course he had no reason to stop them, and the two parties separated. Wan San left the hotel and went to find someone to borrow a car, while Zhou Zhuo went back to the room to rest, replenish his health, and prepare for the third night.

It is impossible to be lazy today!

Chapter 155 Trap

After returning home, it happened to be the time for shift change, and Ma Lou came to watch the night. Because Wang Shifu was an ordinary person and needed to rest very much, Zhou Zhuo didn't put him in the rotation list.

Zhou Zhuo drank his drink and took a short rest. When he woke up, his condition had almost recovered.

The date of the travel voucher is three days and three nights, counting the nights, today is the second day.

Although he promised Wansan to wait for him at the hotel, Zhou Zhuo didn't want to waste time during the day. The incident of lighting up the old government building was obviously related to the mayor. After the road, it will be much easier to move in the fog.

At the same time, Zhou Zhuo also became concerned about the actions of the other three passengers. Theoretically, the system rarely arranges NPCs that are completely meaningless to the plot of the dungeon. What about the remaining three?

Except for the aunt who wandered around every day, who looked like a real tourist, the other two were somewhat strange.

When Zhou Zhuo was eating breakfast, he paid the tour guide to set up a conversation, and asked her to contact the novelist on the grounds that it would be more fun for everyone to play together. Go, including Zhou Zhuo's initiative to invite this time, but also straightforwardly refused.

This behavior is very strange. It is understandable just because of his withdrawn personality. After all, everyone has their own habits, but it is extremely abnormal to travel without going out, unless what he needs is not this small town, but The hotel itself.

Is there a problem with the hotel too?

Zhou Zhuo was taken aback by this thought. Speaking of which, he really hadn’t paid attention to the problems of the hotel itself, because the characteristics of the fog were too obvious, which made it difficult for him to focus on other places, which are often unnoticed. The hidden danger is the most dangerous.

After thinking about it, Zhou Zhuo decided to put the strange traveler aside and complete the main task first. It is impossible for Mayor Yang to be ignorant of such a big accident. Now the two sides are fighting for time. Yesterday If he dared to send someone to look for Wang Shifu, he would be able to do even more outrageous things today.

After leaving the tour guide, Zhou Zhuo went back to the room and briefly told Wang Shifu about the news he got from Wan San last night.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Shifu said what Zhou Zhuo wanted to know.

"That's right, we worked in the old government building back then. That building was very old, and it was overdue. The safety inspection showed that it was unqualified. After we got rich, we moved to a new building, but that building was not demolished. , just put it there to store some less-used objects and data.”

"Storage items...will those missing mirrors be in there?"

"Very likely." Wang Shifu nodded thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, last year there was a small construction on the old government building. I asked a friend and said that it was to do some simple reinforcement work, and at the same time seal the doors and windows to prevent wild cats and homeless people from running in and stealing things. At that time I don’t think there is anything, but now that I think about it, is it just to store those mirrors?”

"It seems that there was an accident when the lights were turned on last night!"

Zhou Zhuo immediately realized that they might have saved the biggest clue so far, and his expression immediately became tense.

After all, it is a trembling-level dungeon, the huge scene blossoms more, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to completely take into account two locations that are at least three kilometers away.

After a brief preparation, the three of them set off immediately without wasting time, but because the place they were going to this time was rather special, everyone deliberately put the hood of the sweater on their heads to cover up the conspicuous hair color.

The old government building is located in the middle of the old street. When they left the new street, they immediately felt the loss of popularity. Although it was cold there, there were still a few people walking to and fro on the street. Everyone was troubled. After all, I still have to put on different expressions for life.

But this side of the old street is different. You may meet a few old men who come down for a walk, or see children who are bored and dazed by the street, but everyone's eyes are blank.

They didn't stare at outsiders like ordinary villagers. They didn't have any curiosity at all. They just turned their heads for a look and then turned back, without any expression during the whole process.

Both adults and children are the same, as if they have some kind of infectious disease that can't express their expressions, and they don't even have a comprehensible look in their eyes. It's hard to imagine what they have gone through to become like this.

Zhou Zhuo had asked Wang Shifu this question on the road, but as a local, even Dr. Wang, who had access to all the villagers, did not know exactly what happened.

Except for the cheating incident that hurt everyone back then, there was no major incident in the village, and there were even few cases, so he was very surprised about it, and he asked an old street resident who often came to the clinic in particular.

The answer was that I don't know.

It was a 70-year-old man. His son and daughter-in-law were working in the city, bought a house, and his son was also studying there, so he had taken root. He took him to live in the city for a few days and then came back because he couldn't adapt.

There were no events or conflicts in his life that would make people indifferent, but he was assimilated naturally after staying in such an environment for a long time.

It would take some time to find out the source of everything, even Wang Shifu, a native of the country, could not do it, let alone foreigners like them who came from afar.

During the period, Zhou Zhuo also specially made a small test, pretending to be a lost foreign tourist to ask for directions, but when he saw them approaching, both the uncle and the child left with their hands behind their backs, without saying a word.

After several attempts, Wang Shifu couldn't help saying: "Is it possible that it's a hairstyle problem? Of course, I'm just making a guess, and it may not be right."

Realizing the other party's spirit of having fun while suffering, Zhou Zhuo also joked: "Old Wang, you also surf the Internet?"

"Otherwise? I really think I don't understand anything." Wang Shifu said angrily, "Our town has been connected to the Internet ten years ago. I know everything you young people know, but there are many things to accept. It's different."

"Too."

Even though it was daytime, the empty old street gave people a gloomy feeling. The two chatted to relieve the depressing atmosphere. Ma Lou interrupted from time to time, teasing each other, all the way to the outside of the old government building.

This used to be the commercial area of ​​the village. There were many small shops, such as blacksmiths, electrical repairers, and fast food vendors. Now they are all empty, with a thick layer of dust on the door. In contrast, the town government The building is a bit better, probably because it is often necessary to move things, so it is relatively clean.

The small door next to it was locked, and it would be troublesome to unlock it without Guan Gou around. Fortunately, the three of them were pretty good at it. Wang Shifu, who was over forty, stepped on Zhou Zhuo's shoulder and jumped onto the wall with one step. He and Ma Lou pulled up.

The three climbed over the wall and entered the area of ​​the old government building.

Even though it is daytime now, but I have just walked through the old street, and no one dares to underestimate the potential danger here. Ma Lou's gun is not easy to take out in this kind of place, but Zhou Zhuo's hammer is fine, and Wang Shifu is also handy. Picking up a stick as a self-defense weapon, he began to search the surrounding area of ​​the building.

As Wang Shifu said, Mayor Yang found a reason to seal the doors and windows of the building without leaving any gaps.

The local residents may not have any opinions. After all, those who can express their opinions live in Xinjie and do not know what is going on here. The local emperor in a small place is more terrifying than a high-ranking official in a big city, because he has lost the people who can restrain him.

Zhou Zhuo tried it with a hammer. The wooden board used to seal the window is very hard, and it can be done even if it is knocked open. Decided to be more cautious.

Turning around the building, Ma Lou found a door that had been pried open. The traces looked very fresh, and there were footprints of more than 40 yards on the ground. The sneakers he was wearing didn't look like homeless people, so there was a high probability that they were the same as It's about the mirror.

The three immediately raised their vigilance, Zhou Zhuo walked in the front, Wang Shifu was in the middle, and Ma Lou took out his sprayer and entered the building in formation.

When the last person stepped on the dirty tiles, Zhou Zhuo obviously felt a coolness attacking his whole body, his brain became cold for a while, and his sanity began to decline at a rate of a little per minute.
