disappearing gold

Chapter 153 Strange things
"I am a victim. Anyone who is corrupt is not a good person, and he deserves to die!" Song Xiaofan said with a trace of sarcasm on his lips.

"Of course your father is a corrupt official, but why are you not involved? While you hate Song Hui for being greedy and Zhang Zhen for being greedy, you can't escape the trap of greed."

"I said, he is not my father."

"But you can't get rid of the blood relationship after all. If he dies, he can't voluntarily sever the father-son relationship with you."

Song Xiaofan was frustrated, but he didn't admit it, "I said, I'm not greedy. That's what Song Hui owes me and my mother."

"Okay, the law will judge." Children's Song said.

After a pause, he continued: "You are deeply corrupted by money, why do you want to drag Zhang Zhen into trouble?"

"At that time, I just wanted to give him a chance to repay him, but I also needed a helper."

"But from what you said just now, you clearly believe that it is false for him to repay the favor, and it is true to take the reward to pay off the debt."

"He often called me my benefactor, and his words were profound," Song Xiaofan said. "I believed he came to help in order to repay his kindness, but later he asked for a large share of the reward, or gold that did not belong to him. I concluded that he was hypocritical and his mind was controlled by greed. ”

"So, you shamelessly deny his original intention?" Angry.

"I was blinded by hatred. I couldn't stop talking."

The children's song asked: "What happened in the middle? Did he change his mind?"

Song Xiaofan thought for a moment and said, "There are always debt collection calls in the process."

"How do you know about the debt?"

Song Xiaofan talked about digging for gold during the Spring Festival (February 2022).

That was the third time they went to the basement to find the entrance. I've been digging for a week, and it's the same late night. Song Xiaofan had some indigestion from eating dry food for many days in a row, so he ran out of the basement to have diarrhea. When he came back, he heard Zhang Zhen's phone call from all the way. He was very angry. Didn't he emphasize that he should turn off his phone?
He was about to hit someone angrily, but Zhang Zhen squatted on the ground and deliberately lowered his voice. This made him curious, did this guy have any ulterior secrets? What kind of secret is it?
Thinking of this, he simply stood sideways outside the cave and listened. At this time, the passage was quite a long distance from the feet, not sure how many meters exactly.

Zhang Zhen said: "Okay, okay, I promise to pay you back as soon as possible."

I don’t know who the person on the other end of the phone is, let alone what I said.

"I really have no money now. When the time comes, the law will force Boss Lin to pay off his debts."

The other person may be angry.

Zhang Zhen's tone was also unkind, "If you do this again, I will call the police." After a pause, he continued: "I will take the kidnapping of Huang Min with you to the end."

What? Is there still such a thing? Song Xiaofan was shocked, what exactly did this guy owe? Being kidnapped and having to endure it?
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhang Zhen hung up the phone angrily and smashed the phone on the ground.

Song Xiaofan pretended not to hear. When he walked in, he saw the cell phone and helped pick it up. "Your cell phone fell to the ground." Zhang Zhen nodded, but did not confess what happened just now. His hopes were dashed and he was a little angry. But after digging for a long time, he felt relieved. No matter what, it was Zhang Zhen who suffered. As long as it didn't affect him, forget it.

The only thing that can't be counted
Song Xiaofan spoke, "You know, I have emphasized that you must not answer or make phone calls here."

"Okay, I remember." Zhang Zhen nodded quickly.

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Zhang Zhen's cell phone rang again, and when he picked it up, he heard it was another debt collector. He nodded apologetically to Song Xiaofan, "Soon."

In his few words, money and time were mentioned in several places.

Hearing this, Tong Ge asked: "After thinking about debt, you haven't exposed him?"

"No. I didn't think much about it at the time." Song Xiaofan explained. Next.

"So does this have anything to do with you bringing a knife out? Planning to kill someone in advance?"

"It wasn't premeditated, but it might have something to do with it! I brought the knife to prevent possible fights over the gold, mainly for self-defense."

"Is your golden switchblade a birthday gift from Song Hui?"

"Correct."

"Why is there only the blade of the sword but no scabbard at the crime scene? Where is the scabbard?"

"Oh, it's long gone. I don't know where it went."

"Haven't you looked for it?"

"I looked for it, but couldn't find it."

"Then do you have anyone to suspect?"

"Yes, I suspect that there is something wrong with my mother's boyfriend and that his purpose in getting close to her is not pure, but I have no evidence."

These are consistent with the clues obtained earlier, "Yes. Please continue to tell how to kill Huang Min."

Song Xiaofan's thoughts returned to the night of the crime. After Zhang Zhen died, he suddenly realized that he had killed someone. The inexplicable panic made his heart beat faster and his mind went blank. There has never been a moment that made him feel more frightened than this moment. There was blood everywhere, and the smell of blood was so strong that it was suffocating! He threw away the golden switchblade and fled the scene.

A minute after he walked out, he felt even more uneasy. He glanced around in panic. There was no one there, not a single person. "Huh..." He took out a breath and quickly turned his head back. Returning to the scene of the crime, he did not dare to look at the dead man's face and relied on the faint moonlight to retrieve the golden switchblade.

Trembling, he dug a small hole with his bare hands in the shallow pit next to the deceased, threw the knife in, and covered it with soil.

This wasn't over yet. He hadn't taken the most important thing yet. He packed himself up and then took away Zhang Zhen's backpack.

Now, he still had important things to do. He had to go back and see if the woman was still there. If you are not here, consider yourself unlucky. If you are here...

He returned to the basement along the way he came, and returned to the depths of the cave. The flashlight beam swayed in front of him. His pace was unusually fast, like a violently beating heart.

The strange thing is that there is no one in the cave, and there is no sound. The woman disappeared without a trace. There were no shovels or shovels left on the ground, and a small amount of gold remained in the soil, glowing calmly with a golden sheen.

He held his breath, turned off the flashlight, and felt carefully, but there was still nothing. Maybe the woman had taken the opportunity to escape. But if you really want to escape, why not take all the gold away?
He saw a gap made deep in the cave when the three people were grabbing the gold.

"Click!" He turned on the flashlight again and shined it into the opening. The light shone through the gap and illuminated a gleaming white brick.

strange!
He came closer and took a look, and found that it was a green brick. Strange, why are there blue bricks here? What's the place inside?
Song Xiaofan squatted down and continued to scan around with his flashlight. Since the gap was too small, he simply put his head in and took a careful look.

Just as he was carefully searching for memories about this place in his mind, but couldn't get any valid information, a series of heavy footsteps came closer and closer.

Close, getting closer...

According to the sound identification, the footsteps were relatively disordered, and the person who came was obviously extremely uneasy and panicked.

who is it? Who is it?
He quietly turned off the flashlight and placed the two backpacks not far behind him.

The atmosphere is getting more and more tense...

　Three updates today, hehe
