The matter was far more complicated than the two imagined at the beginning, but the clues were not broken. Yan Shouyi handed the petals to Meng Guoguo, glanced at Ding Li, who was still unconscious, and said:
"We can't rule out Ding Li's identity, but we absolutely can't stay with him anymore. Mr. Meng, please find someone to take over the scene. Let's find a safe place to continue talking."
The Bangladesh Congress made several calls in succession, asking his subordinates to come over to handle the funeral arrangements. Then they hailed a taxi on the roadside. After the three of them got in the car, the Bangladesh Congress reported an address.
Thirty kilometers of suburbia.
Meng Guo explained: "That's the place where my wife passed away. If the fox demon has something to do with my wife, maybe we can find the answer there."
On the way, Yan Shouyi asked Meng Guo to think carefully about what kind of dispute he had with the fox demon. Meng Guo thought for a long time and finally got some clues.
More than 20 years ago, when he first arrived in Rongcheng, he worked as a bricklayer on a construction site.
Suddenly one day, a large coffin was dug out of the construction site!
It was the workers' holiday at that time, and there were not many workers on the construction site. Meng Guo went to the construction site to work overtime in order to make more money. After digging out the coffin, several workers felt that it must be a valuable antique, so they simply
They all opened the coffin and stole the valuable treasure inside, and everyone shared the money in exchange.
Meng Guo will vaguely feel that this is inappropriate, but now he is one of the people. Even if he does not want the money, no one will agree, because only after receiving the money, everyone will be in the same group, and others will believe it.
Will the Bangladesh Congress report them?
So the Bangladesh Congress can only agree to join them.
Several workers jumped into the pit with crowbars and pried open the coffin. They found that there was nothing inside except a skeleton. They were very disappointed and asked the excavator worker to smash the coffin in anger.
As a result, after smashing it, everyone discovered that there were actually many antique clay pots under the coffin!
The shapes of these pottery pots are very weird. There is a face that looks like a human or a fox in the front, which is so lifelike that it makes people feel chills on their backs.
But some brave workers took the pot out, studied it carefully, and finally even opened the seal on the mouth of the pot!
After taking out the sealing soil, the workers noticed that there was a Taoist talisman on it. Before they could recover, several foxes actually emerged from the pottery pot!
Those foxes were about the same size as wild dogs. I don’t know how they got into the clay pot. They were very bad-tempered after they came out. They bit anyone they saw. The workers who were bitten screamed in pain and the wounds were rapid.
It was rotten and the scene was terrifying.
Fortunately, the worker in charge of driving the excavator directly controlled the huge bucket and crushed the foxes to death. When he was about to crush the last white fox, Meng Guo deliberately gave up a way to survive and allowed the white fox to escape.
Later, I heard that several of the workers who were bitten didn't even make it through the night and died from the poison.
When something like this happened at the construction site, the foreman didn't want the matter to escalate, so he drove away all the workers present that day and blocked all news.
The innocent Meng Guo just left the construction site, but after that incident, Meng Guo would always have the same dream over and over again, dreaming of a fairy-like woman in ancient costume dancing beside him.
When he lifted up the woman's veil, he discovered that the woman had a furry fox face, a long and sharp mouth, and a scary sound when she laughed.
Meng Guo was woken up by this fright several times. He always felt that his dream was related to the fox on the construction site, so he seemed to inquire about the whereabouts of other workers present that day. Unexpectedly, within seven days, all the workers present that day died suddenly.
, some of them died in accidents, and some died in mysterious circumstances, but without exception, their death conditions were particularly horrific, and even the bodies were not intact.
At that time, Meng Guo was very scared, worried that he would be the next to die. As a result, it took a long time, but nothing happened to him. Instead, his business grew and grew.
And the fox-faced woman who often appeared in his dreams slowly disappeared.
Many years have passed, Meng Guo has become a real estate tycoon, and his memories of the past have gradually become unclear. This time he suddenly recalled all this, but he still couldn't figure out why the fox demon had to wait so many years if he wanted to take revenge on him.
?
"Perhaps the fox demon himself was injured after killing someone, and he has been recuperating for many years, and now he thinks of revenge?" Long Feicheng analyzed.
Yan Shouyi shook his head: "That shouldn't be the case. Judging from what Mr. Meng said, the clay pots they dug out at that time should be foxes that Taoist priests deliberately caught in the early years. They were sealed in pots and pressed under the coffin to replace the owner of the coffin.
It drove away snakes, insects, rats and ants and made the corpses decay slower. However, the foxes sealed in the clay pots should have already had some cultivation at that time. In the end,
Later, they simply practiced in clay pots. When the workers dug out the clay pots, the fox thought it had seen its enemy, and it would only bite people after escaping... As for the mysterious deaths of those workers afterwards, it was indeed the fox demon's revenge. The fox demon finally
The reason why I didn’t kill Mr. Meng should be because I was thinking of Mr. Meng’s life-saving grace at that time. In this case, there will be no reason to kill Mr. Meng many years later.”
Long Feicheng, who was still interested in thinking, couldn't help but cover his forehead: "I'm getting more and more confused."
"It's hard for you." Yan Shou patted Long Feicheng's shoulder. It didn't hurt much, but it was very insulting.
Since the connection between Meng Guoguo and the fox demon only exists in the past, many things cannot be studied anymore. It is even more impossible for Yan Shouyi to go to the construction site where the pottery pot was dug out to check. It has long been turned into high-rise buildings.
.
At the moment, we can only continue to follow the clues about Meng Guo's wife and look for anything new.
The taxi driver took a big order, humming a little tune along the way, and drove the car leisurely on the Third Ring Road.
More than half an hour later, the car finally arrived at the small house where Meng Guoguo lived. After he became the big boss, the first thing he did was to buy this house and keep the things here intact, just to keep them.
Memories of living here with my wife and supporting each other.
As soon as he got out of the car, Yan Shouyi smelled the smell of body odor, and he frowned and walked inside.
The Bangladesh Congress received a phone call and stood outside the door to communicate.
After a while, Meng Guoguo hung up the phone and came in, saying anxiously: "Mr. Yan, there is bad news."
"I also have some bad news to tell you."
Yan Shou turned his back to Meng Guoguo, pointed to the ancient well in the middle of the yard and said, "You are in trouble."
Meng Guoguo was shocked and quickly looked at the yard, only to see tons of water pouring out from the ancient well in the yard, and the water kept pouring out, and the water filled the entire yard.
"This well should be a dry well, right?" Yan Shouyi asked.
Meng Guo nodded numbly.
"Dry wells are filled with water and new graves are cracking. These are all bad omens."
Yan Shouyi looked around and asked: "Mr. Meng, do you have any bad news over there?"
Meng Guo came to his senses, held his cell phone and said, "My people just sent news that Ding Li is missing."
"Missing?" Long Feicheng exclaimed, "Isn't he about to die? How can he still be missing?"
"I don't know." Meng Hui shook his head irritably.
Yan Shouyi noticed that although the water from the ancient well in the yard filled the small courtyard, it also nourished the flowers and plants planted around the yard.
He vaguely seemed to know something, but he could never catch the thought that passed by.
At this moment, Meng Guoguo suddenly pointed to the window on the second floor and shouted with horror: "Fox, fox demon...! The fox demon is in my house!!"
Yan Shouyi and the others quickly looked up and saw a white fox standing there behind the only open window on the second floor, staring at them intently!
