Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 209
Linzhou has finally started to prepare for the fall, and one of the signs is that after the rain, it starts to cool down, not as it was a while ago, even if it rains, it feels like being in a steamer.

Lin Xiaodong rode the motorcycle all the way, sorting out what Ye Mimi said in his mind. He could understand that she couldn't clarify the words, and he could understand more and more what she was talking about. She was talking about the snowy land and the world.

Fortunately, his intuition was right, Shen Guoming was not that simple.Maybe it was a coincidence of fate that Lin Zhengyang met him, but what happened later had absolutely nothing to do with Shen Guoming. On the contrary, to know the later Lin Zhengyang, one had to figure out the original Shen Guoming, what was behind this self-made wealthy businessman? What a little-known secret.

"Xiao Xu, go on a business trip with me." Lin Xiaodong, who returned to the Linzhou Public Security Bureau, said to Xiao Xu who was diligently sorting out the materials.

"Ah, on a business trip? But where is Team Lin?" Xiao Xu asked in a daze.

"Go to Nanpu!" Lin Xiaodong rolled up his sleeves, with a look of enthusiasm, as if he had forgotten what A Ruo had said to him.

"What are you going to Nanpu for?" Xiao Xu was still confused.

Lin Xiaodong smirked: "Take you to see the haunted house."

……

After running all the way, when I got out of the car, the salty smell from the ocean hit my face again.Lin Xiaodong didn't expect that, but in just over a month, he set foot on this small southern city again.

That white house, those black corners that have not been illuminated, will have an explanation this time.

He took Xiao Xu with ease and walked towards the hillside.

For Xiao Xu, it was the same as Lin Xiaodong's last visit, looking around with curiosity about everything unknown.

Unlike Linzhou's four distinct seasons, the weather in Nanpu seems to be so humid and hot all year round, without any change.

The white house should be just ahead.However, when he and Xiao Xu arrived at the mountainside under the dim sun wrapped in water vapor, they were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.

In front of them was just a pile of rubble. The white haunted house had been razed to the ground.

"Uh, Team Lin...the haunted house you're talking about..." Xiao Xu wiped the greasy sweat from his forehead, and grinned when he was so tired.

Lin Xiaodong scratched his head, faintly recalling what the driver who brought him here for the first time came to mind, and muttered: "Damn, I forgot to mention that this place was announced last time, it was going to be demolished for road repair, huh, this action It's neat enough."

"Building roads..." Xiao Xu muttered, "Then we have to go home..."

"No, we have to stay here for at least one night." Lin Xiaodong said instead, "Fortunately, I have been here before this house was demolished. Our main purpose this time is to investigate Shen Guoming's situation. There is almost no information about him. Before the accident in Shen's house, Shen Guoming hadn't been back for many years.

On the contrary, it is in Nanpu, we have to ask people who have intersected with him, a person was born here, made a fortune here, at least someone will remember it. With his hands on his waist, Lin Xiaodong frowned and looked at the ruins in front of him. The road construction project has not yet started, and the weeds here seem to grow more wildly than last time.

He looked in the other direction of the road. Those old buildings faced the sea. Fortunately, it was not their turn to be demolished yet. He didn't come to revisit the old place, he came to find someone.

The two of them carried their bags and walked towards the row of only remaining buildings. These two-story buildings have a distinct style of the 90s of the last century. The mosaic patterns on the outside of the balcony are Western style with Chinese imagination. Son.

Here, it is a long afternoon that two busy foreigners can't understand. The old people who stay behind shake their cattail fans and quickly focus on them. It seems that they haven't seen such young people here for a long time. .

"Aren't you the young man who came here last time?" The old lady who met last time appeared out of nowhere and appeared in front of Lin Xiaodong and Xiao Xu.

"Do you still remember me?" Lin Xiaodong was surprised by the old man's memory, after all, they only met once.

"Did you get the money?" The old lady asked suddenly.

Lin Xiaodong didn't understand, so he asked, "What money?"

The old lady looked at him with a smile, feeling that he was pretending to be confused, and pointed to the ruins on the other side of the road: "Hey, you asked so many things about Amin last time there, it must be his distant relative Come to get the money for the demolition."

Lin Xiaodong was helpless after hearing this. It seemed that the old lady had completely misunderstood it. He wanted to deny it immediately, but suddenly thought that if he told her that he was a policeman and a policeman from another city, would he have reservations instead.

Then she changed her words and said, "The talk is almost over. The family has not contacted Shen Guoming for many years. If it weren't for this demolition, we would not have gone to Nanpu. Because there are some procedures to go through, this is my brother, we The two of you came here this time to learn more about Shen Guoming, I heard that he has been missing for many years, and I want to see if there is any way I can help."

The old lady smiled when she heard it: "Look, I said last time that you are A Ming's relative, but you still said no, you look so much like him, how could I have misunderstood it!" She said somewhat smugly , and then glanced at Xiao Xu, "I said, at first glance, they are brothers, they look so alike."

Xiao Xu was taken aback by what Lin Xiaodong said, and he could only nod in agreement when he heard what the old lady said.

"Last time I was busy chatting about Ajuan, and I just wanted to ask you again, what did Shen Guoming do in Nanpu before he went to Linzhou, and how did he get rich?" Lin Xiaodong took advantage of the old lady's joy, and hurriedly asked.

"Amin, how can we know so much? If we knew how he got rich, we wouldn't live in this crappy place for the rest of our lives." The old lady said this somewhat sourly.

Xiao Xu, who was listening on the side, looked at the old building behind her and said, "It's pretty good to be able to build such a building in those days, isn't it?"

The old lady grinned: "At that time Nanpu went out to do business a lot, and it was not uncommon to save some money to build a building. But it is really rare to earn so much like Amin."

While chatting here, an old man not far behind them shook his cattail fan, and suddenly said: "What is there to envy, look, the money came from a bad way, and the whole family died. I think that Amin is so If you don’t show up for many years, you’ve probably become a lonely ghost!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaodong walked up to the old man in two or three steps, and hurriedly asked, "Old man, why do you say that Shen Guoming's money came from a wrong source?"
