Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 57 Seed
"Everything has been turned over. Fortunately, they haven't reached the point where they want to demolish the house." Li Xiudi said, and moved the bedside table by herself, revealing a square area where dust accumulated.

The bedside table was not light, she straightened up, took a few breaths, and looked at the vacant space: "When I put the things here, I was afraid that someone would come to the door sooner or later. I haven't dared to move this bedside table for so many years. Scratch marks on the ground are suspicious. Unexpectedly, this concern is right." As she spoke, she didn't care about the dirt, and wiped off the dust on one of the floors with her bare hands, moved it back and forth, and pushed it in hard. It's active, it pops up automatically, and it's set up the same as the hidden compartment in Liu Lisha's bedroom.

"Old Qian was a carpenter when he was young, and his craftsmanship is quite good." She smiled wryly, rubbing her nose that was itchy due to dust with her sleeve, "If I wasn't afraid of working hard and giving up halfway, I could rely on this craft for a living with peace of mind. It won't be the current situation." As he spoke, he took out a small iron box from inside.

She carefully held the tin box in her hand, turned around and handed it to Lin Xiaodong solemnly.

Lin Xiaodong opened the box, only to see a dark brown seed inside, the size of a marble.

"This is?" Lin Xiaodong didn't dare to take out the contents of the box, so he could only look at it and asked Li Xiudi.

Li Xiudi hugged herself tightly with both hands, as if she lost her shelter after handing over the box, and felt insecure: "This was originally used by Lao Qian to save his life. After he died, I pretended not to know the existence of this thing. Lao Qian His death made me understand one thing, these people will not negotiate with you, if one day I hand it over, they will definitely kill me like old money."

"What is this?" Lin Xiaodong asked in confusion, really unable to see why this seemingly ordinary thing was so important to Qian Yingjie.

Li Xiudi's haggard face began to turn paler, which evoked terrible memories: "Just like that finger, this was also brought back by that person from the snowy region."

Lin Xiaodong suddenly understood: "Gao Hanyu?"

"Gao Hanyu...is that the name of that person?" Li Xiudi asked back, "Old Qian has never told me that person's name. I only know that Lao Qian told me that that person killed someone...it seems , Captain Lin, you already know about this, you even know that person's name."

"Gao Hanyu was the only one who died in the East Petroleum Market explosion, of course I know. Moreover, we are suspecting that Qian Yingjie may have something to do with Gao Hanyu's death."

"Ah..." Li Xiudi stepped back half a step anxiously and sat on the bed, "No wonder..."

"No wonder what?"

"No wonder, when he came to see me recently, he appeared in that state again."

"Didn't you say that he doesn't contact you very much?"

"That's for Liu Lisha."

"Ok?"

"Liu Lisa is just a cover. I discussed with Lao Qian that we can't put all our eggs in one basket. We have to find a way to show those people and separate us, so that if something happens one day, we won't be with you. Like that family, die together..."

"The family? Who are you talking about?" Lin Xiaodong vaguely guessed.

"The family surnamed Chen...it was Lao Qian who harmed them, what a crime..." Li Xiudi covered her face with her hands as she spoke, as if she didn't want to mention this matter again.

"Is it Chen Shi? Gao Hanyu is the direct murderer who killed them. Could it be Qian Yingjie who is behind it?" Lin Xiaodong tightly grasped the iron box in his hand. This was an answer that seemed to be known but difficult to explain. Why do you do that?"

"Ten years ago, for a period of time, Lao Qian suddenly stopped going out and fooling around. He hid at home every day, didn't answer his questions, and drank alone. His spirit was getting worse every day, and he was awakened by nightmares when he fell asleep at night. I saw him. If this continues, the whole person will fail, so I begged him to tell me what kind of difficulty I encountered.

I begged him for a long time, and finally moved out my son, saying that even for my son, I have to tell me what happened.He just took out the tin box from a locked drawer and opened it in front of me.

I'll never forget the feeling I felt when I first saw what was in the box. "Li Xiudi said, as if she was very cold, and her whole body was shaking, "It's the finger of a person with blood and a red seed.The blood had dried up and turned black and purple, but the smell was still there, the smell of blood, the amputated finger, I vomited it out on the spot, crying while vomiting, terrified.

I asked how the owner of this finger was doing, and Lao Qian told me dead with a blank face.I hit him with my fist while weeping, saying that I knew he was going to die, but I never thought he would kill someone.

Lao Qian said that he owed a lot of debts outside, and some people said that as long as he can do this for him, not only can he pay off the money for him, but also give him a good job, so that he will not worry about money for the rest of his life.He agreed as soon as he was confused.

He got the information about the person who was going to be killed. It was a university teacher named Chen Shi. The person who entrusted him requested that this matter not be done in Linzhou. start.

He couldn't do it by himself, so he found someone to hang out with. He said that he knew that person was ruthless and quick to do things, so he could definitely do it.

It's just that something went wrong in the middle.Chen Shi went to Xueyu not alone, but also brought his wife and daughter with him. He sent this person, the one you mentioned with the surname Gao, who was too ruthless. He caused a car accident and killed all three people.

At the beginning, Lao Qian was obsessed with ghosts, and he didn't think about the murder at all. When the man completed the task and came back to him with a token, he panicked when he saw the severed finger. Later, the man and He explained the origin of this seed in detail..." At this point, Li Xiudi's strength has reached the limit, and tears of fear began to fall. What kind of background made Li Xiudi ten years later still unable to speak out smoothly.

Time passed unknowingly, the floor they were on was not high, and the sight was blocked by the dense cedar, and the sunlight faded faster than outside.

In the bedroom where the lights were not turned on, Li Xiudi was facing the window with her back bent, and her hair, which was originally tied up, hung disheveled on her face at some point, swaying with her body shaking:
"Old Qian refused to say who the person who entrusted him to do things was until his death, but he said that this seed may be the reason why that person wanted to kill Chen Shi."
