Chapter [45]: In the dark
I didn't dare to call Gu Lin's name, but I held a short knife in my hand and walked towards the jungle. When I walked over, I saw something in the jungle. The person hung on the tree was a man with a pale face, his tongue stretched out, and his thin body swayed in the wind like a wind chime, like a dried fish.
This is either someone else, it is Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu was beaten twice by Gu Lin yesterday.
The rope used by Uncle Jiu uses the hemp rope that Gu Lin soaked in water on the day he hung a paper man in Room 104 yesterday. When this hemp rope was first hung around his neck, it could still make Uncle Jiu fall on the ground.
But after the moisture is evaporated and dry, the hemp rope will be tightened, and Uncle Jiu will be lifted up by the thick hemp rope, forming the feeling of hanging now. I want to put Uncle Jiu down and look at the current situation. Suddenly, I feel that someone is passing by behind me.
The speed was so fast that I didn't even react. I turned around and looked at it. I just turned around and suddenly felt a heavy blow on my neck. I just felt that my eyes were black and I fainted directly.
When I woke up, I didn’t know when it was. The fog in the jungle had dissipated. I lay on the weeds in the woods, and the sunlight fell on my face.
I sat up from the ground, looked around, it was still in the jungle, and then looked at myself, without any harm, and the short knife around my waist was still there, everything was as usual, and I could not see any difference.
I took a deep breath and stood up with the tree. Except for the pain in my neck, everything else was fine and I was ready to go back to the hotel.
"Are you still going back?"
Just as I was about to go back, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind, it was Gu Lin.
"Yes, don't tell me, you knocked me out just now."
I rubbed my neck, but felt that it was still a little painful now, so I asked.
Gu Lin nodded: "Yes, it's me. I knocked you out just now, otherwise you would have been to prison long ago."
"What's going on?"
I never expected that I would encounter such a situation. It would be fine if I was knocked out here, but I also said that I was going to prison. What's the reason?
"You also asked, do you want to put the old man's body down from the tree in the morning?"
Indeed, at that time, I wanted to put Uncle Jiu down for the purpose of saving people and see if Uncle Jiu was dead.
But I never thought that I had this intention and was knocked out before I could take action.
"That's right. The old man was strangled to death and hung his body on a tree. He did not hang himself voluntarily. If you put down the body, someone will soon call the police and say you were deliberately murdering."
I now understand one truth, that is, someone is trying to design a trick to himself: "You should be talking about Ma Changhai. Last night I heard their conversation. They have recognized your whereabouts and know your identity. They want to get rid of me, but it is not right. This is their way to get rid of me!"
Gu Lin nodded and nodded.
"I was here when the incident happened in the morning. I saw everything, from his corpse hanging to his premeditated plan to harm you, I saw it step by step, and he arranged a pinhole camera nearby."
Hearing this sentence, I nodded: "The world is not old, and people's hearts are sinister. As expected, he did not expect that he would use such despicable means to sacrifice his companions and kill me."
"It's not about sacrificing one's companion, but about reducing the money. This guy should have been Ma Changfa's accomplice before. He is Mr. Yin and Yang, and is very famous in Yuecheng. Rich people take this trick the most. If you have money, you have channels. They just took this opportunity to sell their poisons and drugs. The two of them had a tacit understanding before. I don't know why Ma Changfa actually killed him this time. Maybe it was because the spoils were uneven."
One is responsible for the supply of goods and the other is responsible for the channel. The cooperative relationship between the two can be said to be very fragile. If the party who provides the supply of goods frequently contacts with the third party, reaches a tacit understanding over time and opens up the channels themselves, then the person responsible for the channel will be useless.
"Well, that's it, but I didn't expect this guy to be so vicious and want to kill me."
I said gritting my teeth, my face full of bitterness and revenge.
This Ma Changfa can even kill his partner, and there is nothing he can't do. According to his connections and financial resources, it will definitely not be a problem to make him die in prison. What else can he do then?
"What should I do now? Can I still go back to that hotel?"
My question made Gu Lin fall into deep thought. Gu Lin thought for a long time before speaking: "Yes, you can't go back,"
"If he still wants to harm me when I go back, what should I do?"
"I will install a wiretaper on you. This wiretaper has a recording function. The battery can be used for three days. I can receive any danger you have within three days. I will find a way to help you. If you can't help you, I will call the police if you get the evidence, bring the horse's long hair to justice and avenge you."
Hearing this sentence, I took a deep breath, and for some reason, I suddenly felt a little tragic.
"If I really die, I must burn the judgment result to me, otherwise I will die with my eyes."
Seeing me speaking so seriously, Gu Lin was amused and laughed: "Okay, I lied to you. Even if I don't scare him crazy, the evidence I have on hand is enough for him to go to prison. If I use my relationship at that time, I can still make him die. It's just that I'll take some trouble. I will definitely not let you have anything to do, but you have to go back to avoid being alarmed."
When Gu Lin was speaking, he reached out to tidy up his collar for me. I nodded: "Okay, I understand, you must also be careful."
After saying that, he felt as if he was ready to die, so he turned around and left here.
"Be careful and be smart."
"I will!"
Although Gu Lin was guarding him, he was still afraid. After all, he had to face not only a drug lord, but also a murderer, who killed two people.
When I returned to the entrance of the hotel, I took a deep breath, reached out and pushed open the door, and saw Ma Changfa fiddling with the computer there, as if he was settled.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up and saw me, and smiled and said, "I'm back, how about it? The scenery nearby is good, right?"
I smiled slightly: "You seem to know what I'm going to do for a long time. Didn't you be in the store in the morning?"
"I went out to buy vegetables in the morning. When I came back, I saw that you and Uncle Jiu were not there. I felt that you two should have gone for a walk, but this is the suburbs of the city and there is no place to go. Did Uncle Jiu find anything?"
"Uncle Jiu? I didn't see him in the morning. Maybe I've returned to the city. Hasn't the problem here been solved long ago? I went out just now and walked around the neighborhood. Although I was in a hurry to find a job, the matter there was not handled, and I couldn't leave either."
Ma Changfa nodded: "Indeed, those policemen are just in trouble, so I am the same. I originally wanted to go back to accompany my wife, but I can't leave now, but what can I do? Since I am under the jurisdiction of others, I have to abide by the law and be a monk and be a bell for one day."
"Yes, then I'll go back and rest."
"Wait, you're not going to eat anymore? You're going to eat."
I waved my hand and said, "I won't eat it anymore. I've eaten it outside, you can eat it yourself."
Judging from their conversation yesterday, Ma Changhai has become wary of himself. I have to be so nervous that I can sit down and eat with Ma Changhai, so I decided not to eat with Ma Changhai recently to avoid any danger.
This is not a suspicion, but a way to save your life.
I didn't want to die here without any clarity, just like Uncle Jiu, and I didn't know how I died.
I returned to the room, cleaned up, and then lay on the bed, wanting to sleep, but I couldn't sleep anyway, and lay on the bed and tossed and turned.
The hell problem was solved, but a new problem was encountered, that is, the human heart.
What is more terrifying than ghosts and gods is the human heart.
However, people can't resist this kind of fatigue. After a while, they fell asleep. This time, from noon to night, Yuelang and Xingsi got up and stood in front of the window, looking outside, and suddenly saw several police cars parked outside, and there was a blockade line in the forest.
I got it. Someone called the police and found Uncle Jiu's body. The police came to investigate the case.
Just when I was thinking about things, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. When I walked over and opened the door, I saw a policeman standing at the door: "Hello, I am Sen Police Li Minhao. There is a criminal case now. You need to cooperate with the investigation. Can you ask me to ask you something?"
"Of course, please come in."
I heard that it was a policeman again and wanted to refuse, but the other person had a good attitude and could not refuse. What if the accusation was not carried out by the time the incident was made by the time the case was that he would not cooperate with the investigation!
He let Li Minhao into the room and poured a glass of water for Li Minhao, but was put aside by Li Minhao: "I just came to ask a few questions, there is nothing else."
"Okay, ask."
Sitting opposite the two of them, I took a deep breath and tried to calm my mood.
"That's right. This afternoon we received a report that a murder occurred here. After on-site investigation, we found someone's footprints appeared there, so we wanted to sample your shoe samples and bottom attachments."
When I heard the policeman's words, I suddenly felt something was wrong. The horse's long hair seemed to have a trick. I didn't put down the horse's long hair. I thought this matter would be over, but now I came to retrieve my shoe samples and the bottom attachment.
I have really been to the woods this morning, and I have really stayed around Uncle Jiu's body. If I really investigated, wouldn't I be one of the suspects?
But now the police are in front of me, and I have no reason to refuse, and took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll be investigated."
He took out the shoes he wore in the morning, and worked with the shoe samples and the dust on the soles. After everything was collected, he spoke, "How is it, the police officer, have you done it?"
"Yes, it's all done, but I still need to wait. According to my previous understanding, you should be a restricted person with freedom now, right?"
"Yes, there were cases that were not investigated clearly before, so I have to stay here and cooperate with the investigation and wait until the matter is revealed before leaving. What's wrong with the police officer?"
"It's okay, ask, since you are a person who restricts freedom, there is no problem. Otherwise, you may need to be taken directly to the police station for further investigation. Now you can investigate and do not have to bother you."
"Thank you, but what's going on?"
