Chapter 564 The "fuse" of the head
Two hours later, it was late at night and a strong wind was blowing outside. After listening through the window for a while, I felt very uncomfortable. The continuous sound was like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
There was no expression on his face. He sat upright, saying nothing, and habitually knocked on the table every ten minutes or so.
At this time, the entire golden armor was soaked in the large basin. It would have been best to use distilled water, but since there was no distilled water, well water was used instead.
The lights in the house were dim, which made the golden armor in the water look even more magnificent. Douyazi gradually became fascinated by it. He subconsciously reached out to touch it, but I stopped him.
Suddenly, the head's cell phone started vibrating and a call came in.
I just glanced at him, and he hung up without answering. He turned to me and said, "You're finally back. Yunfeng, go open the door."
"Who is it, boss?"
"I'll explain it to you later. Go open the door."
I went out with full of doubts in my heart, and just as I pulled out the bolt, I saw a person's feet through the crack in the door.
The man was wearing a pair of black cloth shoes with white soles. There was some mud on his shoes, and it seemed that he had walked a lot.
"Are you looking for our boss?"
"Yes." The other party only answered with one word.
"You look familiar, sir. Have we met somewhere before?" I asked.
The other party didn't say anything, walked around me and went straight into the yard. It seemed that he had been to our place before, and he didn't need me to lead the way, and went straight to the east room where the boss was.
This was a middle-aged man, rather short, perhaps about 1.6 meters, with sallow skin and a dazed look in his eyes. He was holding an ordinary stick in his hand with a rope wrapped around the top. Looking at his back, I suddenly recalled a scene that happened more than a month ago.
It's him!
I've seen this person before!
I remember that day I was driving alone from Zukengyuan to move gas cylinders to the warehouse. Because it was daytime, I was extra careful! Then this person appeared and asked, "Do you need anything moved? Just give me the money for a pack of cigarettes."
I refused at the time and he left without saying anything.
You can’t go wrong! it's him!
I quickly locked the door and went into the house, pouring tea for the man.
He asked directly, "Where did you follow him to? Did you find out anything about him?"
The man looked at the steaming tea on the table and whispered, "The thief sneaked in at 1:15 pm and went into the kitchen, east room, and west room, as if he was looking for something. He didn't take anything afterwards and left at 1:30 pm."
The man continued, "I followed him all the way. He was very cautious, taking many detours to avoid being tailed. Around 3:30, he entered the Xia family's gate and came out after only five minutes. He then went to a village and hasn't been seen since."
"Xia family?" My heart skipped a beat.
He frowned and asked, "Does the village where that person last appeared have a name?"
"kindness."
The short man dipped his fingers in water and quickly wrote two big words on the table.
"Jiangcun."
The leader's face was gloomy. "As expected, it's consistent with the speculation. Wenbin lost track of us last time, and this time he couldn't keep his composure after all. He hid under the noses of the people of Zhuji for so many years, and finally let me, Wang Xiansheng, see his face."
My heart was pounding and I immediately took out the old map from the drawer to check it.
Here it is, found it.
Jiangcun!!
Chun'an County, Qiandao Lake, Lishang Township, Jiangcun...
Over a hundred years ago, mysterious grid patterns appeared across Qiandao Lake, and the Jiang surname was carved on the wall of Dongshan Dragon Cave. In the 13th year of the Daoguang reign...
I looked at the boss in horror.
"Boss Wang, the clues I previously collected in secret with Master Ying have basically been pieced together. You may be in big trouble, but I don't understand what the other party is up to. What is their ultimate goal?"
He frowned and shook his head slowly. "I've been thinking about this all along. Think about it, how could the murderer tell the victim before making up their mind to kill? By the time the victim realizes what's going on, they're probably already dead."
"So what's the next plan, Chief Wang?"
"Hmm..." He raised his head and said calmly, "The other party lost his patience and tried to peek at my cards, but I got to see his cards instead. Actually, the cards I had were the smallest."
After saying that, he dialed a number.
The call was quickly picked up, and a familiar and deep voice came from the other end.
It was Xu Tongshan.
"Jiangcun."
"Jiangcun? Captain Wang, where is that?"
"Brother Xu, you can take some time to look at the map. It's right under your nose."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, then a sudden laugh: "Haha, Boss Wang, I admire you so much. I really want to meet you in person one day. I used all my connections but couldn't find this information. How did you find it?"
"The other party failed to keep their composure. It was just luck."
"Okay, I get it. But, Boss Wang... let me ask you something. These three players haven't opened their cards yet, and you don't have enough chips. Are you trying to use your smallest card to take advantage of the situation?"
After hearing this, the leader laughed and said, "Brother Xu, what are you talking about? I don't have enough chips because I gave you half for free before. Now that it's almost time to draw the cards, you should return them to me."
"hehe."
"I used to lend money at high interest rates, and Boss Wang's style of doing things is somewhat similar to mine. Okay, wait for my call in three days."
Then there was a dead tone on the other end of the line.
As soon as the phone was hung up, the short middle-aged man stood up and bowed.
He bowed his head towards him.
When someone asked me, I immediately asked what was going on.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
He looked at the wash basin on the ground and said, "Perhaps it's because this rare treasure has appeared in the world."
I asked nervously, "Is the other party trying to steal the golden armor we just got?"
He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that."
It took Douyazi a long time to react. He stamped his feet and said, "I told you so! The entire Xia family can't be trusted! Not a single one of them is a good person! They must have secretly teamed up with someone to kill us and steal the treasure!"
Douyazi's forehead was bulging with veins, and he was obviously furious. He clenched his fists and said to me, "Fengzi! Do you remember the last time that mysterious man tried to harm us with the Feng Shui formation? If you hadn't asked Mr. Cha for help, we might all have died unexpectedly! That way, we can kill people invisibly! It won't attract any attention, and then all the treasures we have painstakingly accumulated in Qiandao Lake for half a year will definitely belong to him! Especially that Xia Shuishui! He has had bad intentions from the beginning! Maybe it started from the day we sold fish! He was sent by the Xia family to approach us!"
I frowned and said, "No... there must be some other hidden information that we don't know. Xia Shuishui definitely doesn't have such a deep mind."
Douyazi rushed over, grabbed my clothes, and yelled, "Didn't you hear what I just said? The people the boss secretly sent this afternoon followed us to the Xia family's gate! Even with a knife to your neck, you still refuse to admit it! As the saying goes, you can only know a person's face but not his heart! Haven't you been deceived by women enough times before?!"
"Stop talking nonsense! When have I ever been cheated by a woman? You saw it!" I pushed Douyazi away.
Douyazai and I had a heated argument. He thought Xia Shuishui approached me on purpose and that she was also the mastermind behind the Lao Zhou incident. I didn't know why she always targeted Xia Shuishui. In my eyes, that girl was not scheming at all.
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
If she can hide it so well, then it means that all these years I have been wasting my time! A person's appearance can be deceiving, but the eyes, temperament and details of life cannot! I have seen countless women and I will definitely not make a mistake in her!
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a chill from head to toe.
Douyazi suddenly picked up half a basin of water and poured it over my head.
"Are you awake now, bro? I think you've been bewitched by that woman!"
I wiped the water off my face, rushed over, knocked Douyazai to the ground.
"That's enough! Stop messing around!"
I was pinching Douyazi's neck, and he was pinching mine too. Upon hearing this, Douyazi immediately let go and said, "Fengzi! If my guess is wrong, then why didn't the boss refute me?"
"Head!"
I quickly looked at the boss.
I walked over and opened the window. A strong wind blew in, and I shivered instantly because of the cold.
The wind blew the white hair from his forehead. He said calmly, "I thought that with Mr. Xia's death that day, those hidden secrets would be taken to the grave. Now it seems that this is not the case. The girl that Yazi suspected was either completely innocent or extremely scheming. If it's the latter... then her scheming has long surpassed her age, perhaps even deeper than the waters of Qiandao Lake."
The fact that the leader said this means that he was not sure and was skeptical.
My face turned pale, and Douyazi looked at me sideways without saying a word.
"Yunfeng."
"exist."
"Go to the Xia family and verify it yourself."
"When should I go?"
He immediately turned his head and said:
"Now."
