13 last bus 2

Chapter 68
Judging from the expression and tone of the old county magistrate, it seems that he has encountered some difficult problem.

Chen Chen stared curiously at the little bear he brought out from Dongkui Village and asked:

"Is there something wrong with this plush toy?"

The old county magistrate closed his eyes and raised his head. After a while, two lines of hot tears passed through his rough cheeks and dripped onto the skirt of his clothes.

"I didn't quite understand what you said just now, but it probably means that you want to understand the affairs of the Gu family, and this matter is at stake with your life?"

Chen Chen responded, "Yes, to put it simply, I met the three members of the Gu family on the last bus of No. 13, and I followed them all the way to this place."

"Being able to enter Dongkui Mountain is already very remarkable, and being able to come out alive means that you have great blessings. Come in, and I will tell you everything I know!"

Feeling lost, the old county magistrate waved to the bungalow in front of him.

The room furnishings are very simple, there is only a bed, a table, clothes are hung on the wall, and there is not even a wardrobe.

The little monk followed in, and stood obediently against the wall. The old county magistrate didn't chase him away, and told Chen Chen to sit down casually, before asking:
"Since you have been to Dongkui Village, you should have discovered the secret of the village, right?"

Chen Chen nodded.

"The villagers had no chance to burrow into the ground, and were simply buried by a layer of clear snow!"

The old county magistrate burst into tears when he heard the words, clasped his hands together, and chanted Amitabha.

"Dongkui Mountain is a beautiful place with green mountains and green waters. Fifteen years ago, when I was still the county magistrate, I made an investment to develop a tourism project there. Dongkui Village happened to be in a mountain nest. To start construction, people must be mobilized!"

"I know this, Zhou Guanfu was the one who participated in the demolition team!"

"Yes, Dongkui Village has been farming in the mountains for generations. It is self-sufficient and has little contact with the outside world. It is very poor and severely lowered the economic indicators of the county. I was under a lot of pressure as the county magistrate, and I wanted to lead Dongkui Village out of poverty. It’s also a good thing, the department personnel, the engineering team, went to the mountain to mobilize many times, but the villagers refused to leave, and the project couldn’t go on at all!”

As the old county magistrate said, the clever little monk poured him and Chen Chen each a cup of hot water.

"Zhou Guanfu is a member of the demolition team. He is very smart and good at using his brains. He can win what others can't handle. After several rounds of negotiations, people in the village began to waver. More and more villagers agreed to move. In a month's time, most of the people in the village have been dealt with, and only the stubborn Gu family is left who refuses to move away!"

Chen Chen asked curiously: "I heard that Zhou Guanfu has been mixed in the society. Did he threaten the villagers with violence? Otherwise, how could he be tempted in such a short period of time by the villagers whose thinking has been fixed for generations?"

The old county magistrate blew into the hot water cup and denied:

"I don't know where you got to know him. Although Zhou Guanfu lost his hand, he is kind. He didn't threaten or intimidate the society. On the contrary, he was more patient than anyone else. Let the villagers go out to travel, let them see the outside world!"

Sure enough, there is a way, Chen Chen praised in his heart, "That's it, did the villagers agree?"

"Isn't that more?" The old county magistrate continued, "Not only following these superficial forms, Zhou Guanfu also applied to his superiors many times to increase the compensation in addition to the relocation of the building, and in the end he insisted on asking for 30.00% more from the villagers. The people in the village were moved. To completely agree to relocate!"

The old county magistrate was the person involved, and what he said must be the version closest to the facts and the most credible story.

Hearing this, Chen Chen couldn't help sighing: "But I have been to Zhou Guanfu's hometown, and the villagers generally have a bad opinion of him! They say he made money in those years, and he can show off very well!"

The old county magistrate smiled wryly.

"This matter needs to be looked at separately. I also heard from friends who came with him that Zhou Guanfu made money in the early years. He went back to the village to build roads, gave red envelopes to villagers, and borrowed money to do things. He helped many people. busy."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of hot water and sighed: "Some people who have been favored don't know how to be grateful. You live better than him, and he looks at you and gets angry. Even if you help and do good things, My heart will still be unbalanced, and as time goes on, I feel that you are rich and should help a little, Dou Mi En, Dan Mi Qiu! That's the reason!"

The old county magistrate became a monk to practice Buddhism, and he was very speculative when he looked at things. Chen Chen thought about it carefully, and it was true. Don't mention how many benefits he has received and how many red envelopes he has received!
After evaluating Zhou Guanfu's character, the old county magistrate continued:

"Zhou Guanfu's work has not been smooth sailing. He has run into trouble with the Gu family. The Gu family is actually a latecomer and has the best conditions in the village. No matter what conditions Zhou Guanfu put forward or how to mobilize them, they just refused to move away!"

"I heard that you had the intention to demolish it at that time?"

The old county magistrate didn't shy away from it, and admitted openly, "It's not forced demolition, but I just think they are the only one left. It will be a matter of time before they agree to move out. In order to meet the construction deadline, I approved the documents and agreed that the engineering team will start construction first." Already!"

Chen Chen continued, "But I found that those machines can't even cross bridges. Even if they can work normally, they can't dig a mountain of mud!"

"Yes!" The old county magistrate agreed.

"Steel can't dig the soil. Since then, I have found something wrong. When I came to this Jade Buddha Temple, I invited the old abbot of the year. Master Dexin went to see it. The master had a dream on the first day he came. People in Dongkui Village fled everywhere, killing each other, and it seemed like a purgatory on earth. After waking up from the dream, he rushed to the bridge overnight, and only said that the mountain could not be moved, and then went back."

The master's dream seemed to be consistent with what Chen Chen saw in the village, so he asked curiously:

"There was nothing wrong with Gu's family at that time, didn't he say why he couldn't move?"

The old county magistrate wept and shook his head, "The complexity of Dongkui Mountain is far beyond your imagination. I was still hesitating whether to break ground, but Zhou Guanfu also did something wrong. He was really anxious in the end, so he cheated The Gu family said that after the demolition, a small building will be built near the mountain for them to live in!"

Chen Chen suddenly recalled that when Sun Xiaoyan acted as Zhong Yinhong in Gu's haunted house, she did say the same thing.

"and after?"

"He lied to gain the trust of the Gu family. On the night of entering the mountain to sign the contract, the Gu family caught fire, and then the village began to be haunted. All the people who escaped from the village were like a plague on human skin. One spread to ten, ten to hundreds, completely I couldn’t control it, and in the end I really had no choice, so I ordered someone to blow up the bridge across the river!”

What happened next was the same as what Master Dexin had dreamed about, and also what Chen Chen saw. The villagers committed suicide, set fires, and ended their lives in fear.

After saying this, the old county magistrate pinched the little bear in his hand again, "Actually, after Zhou Guanfu escaped from that disaster, before he was arrested, he came to see me once!"

As far as these things were concerned, Chen Chen had already grasped all of them, but their next meeting was definitely the most important secret!
"What did he tell you?" Chen Chen asked nervously.

The old county magistrate lowered his head and took a sip of water, with disbelief in his eyes, and said slowly:
"Zhou Guanfu said that he had already signed the contract with the Gu family that night, and even took photos with them. The fire was inexplicable, and the Gu family and his wife were killed in the fire. Only he desperately hugged the Gu Renpan The child escaped!"

Chen Chen listened carefully, not wanting to miss a single word.

"But!" The old county magistrate suddenly paused before continuing:

"After Zhou Guanfu escaped from the sea of ​​fire with Gu Renpan in his arms, he found that the girl in his arms was no longer breathing! He swore to me at the time that he was 100% sure that the little girl was still alive and kicking before the fire. Come and take a look, her whole body has festered into disgrace, she looks like a corpse that has been dead for many years!"

The little girl is already dead too?

After hearing the last sentence, Chen Chen's brain suddenly buzzed.

Sun Xiaoyan had seen the policeman who took over the case back then, and the forensic doctor clearly said that the Gu family had been dead for a long time before the fire, so she suspected that it was Zhou Guanfu who killed the man and then turned around and set the fire.

Now combined with the words of the old county magistrate, it's frightening to think about. Could it be that the murder of three members of the Gu family has become a joke?
Gu Zuofeng, the uncle in the leather jacket, Zhong Yinhong, the woman with white shoes, and Gu Renpan, the cute and playful little girl!
Their family, in fact, had been dead for many years before the demolition happened! !
So, the Gu family doesn't actually exist. Those who have been dealing with the villagers all this time, refused to move, and finally signed the contract with Zhou Guanfu, are they all old corpses from the mountain village?
