"I want to go home!"
I immediately turned over from the bed. Because of my excitement, I moved too much and pulled the wound. I couldn't help but groan. If Zhang Xinya hadn't supported me in time, I would have fallen to the ground. I opened my palm and saw that the gauze on my chest had seeped a little scarlet blood.
"Don't worry, it's been so long since the incident happened, and there's no need to rush."
Zhang Xinya comforted her gently: "Besides, you can't do anything in your current physical condition."
I shook my head. How could I sit still when it came to my parents? I immediately pulled Zhang Xinya and walked out.
"You're leaving the hospital now?"
Yao Heizi shouted behind me: "You're leaving the hospital voluntarily. Tell your friend that the medical expenses will not be refunded..."
"..."
After leaving the clinic, Zhang Xinya asked me to wait on the side of the road while she called a taxi and then went into a small store next to her. I saw through the glass that she borrowed a cell phone from someone.
My physical strength was still very poor and I couldn't stand for too long. I simply sat on the curb to rest and breathe the relatively fresh air outside. My originally anxious mood gradually calmed down and I gradually had some clues about many things.
Apart from the obsession with the inheritance of etiquette officials, there was nothing special about my parents. In my impression, they were just a simple and ordinary couple, honest and decent. Life had long wiped out all the romantic feelings and it was impossible for them to go on a trip at any time.
Suddenly disappearing, this itself revealed something wrong.
But if you say that we were attacked by some bad guys, I will be the first one to not believe it. Although my father yells and yells in front of me, he always takes out the butcher knife. In fact, when he really has a conflict with outsiders, he basically chooses to swallow his anger.
I extremely suspect that maybe there is some evil spirit at work? !
After being harmed by the last Tianguan, dozens of generations of the Liguan family have not had a good ending. My master speculated that my father might be the last one.
But it happened more than ten days ago. At that time, we should have just left the demon tomb. The time is too strange. Will the two things be related?
Unfortunately, my mobile phone was lost in the tomb, otherwise there might be some clues. As long as there is a chance, my father should give me some hints.
While I was daydreaming, Zhang Xinya came out. She sat down beside me quietly and said softly, "The car has been called. Don't worry too much. I just called Lao Bai. My uncle and his family have already left for your house. However, they live in a remote place and may arrive later than us. My uncle told me to tell you not to rush in. Be careful not to spoil things. You must wait for them to arrive. Also, my uncle thinks your parents may not really be...
In short, he has seen your father's face. He has been displaced all his life and lived a hard life, but he is definitely not a face that will die young. The cause and effect left by the last heavenly official has been resolved by dozens of generations. When it comes to your father, it is already very small. The situation may not be as bad as you think."
I nodded silently, thinking of the last time we parted, my dad said a lot of inexplicable things, and behaved very strangely, which made me very worried. When I asked my master, he also said some strange things, such as what time it was, which was hard to understand, but I was sure that my dad would be fine.
I think my master should have seen some clues at that time!
Is this incident related to this?
In any case, I still believe in my master. With his words, I am much calmer.
Not long after, a white Geely stopped in front of us. The driver was a young man. He checked the information with Zhang Xinya, and immediately asked us to get in the car and turned around to drive towards the county town.
My hometown is just a small county town. Zhaojiaping is very close to the edge, but it is only about ten kilometers from here to the county town, less than twenty minutes' drive. When we arrived in front of our house, the sun was hanging in the sky, and it was not yet noon.
My master didn't let me enter the house rashly, perhaps because he was worried about something, so after hesitating at the gate for a while, I turned around and went to the next door.
This is a small shop selling mountain products. The owner is a widow, but she is only in her forties. I don't know her specific name. I only know that everyone used to call her husband Sanzi, and I also called her Sanyi since I was a child. Although her husband has been dead for more than ten years, the name has not changed. She often visits our family. If there is any heavy work that I can't do myself, my father often helps.
The small shop is filled with the unique fishy smell of dried silver plate mushrooms. After a pile of mountain products, I saw Sanyi, but in addition to her, there were two uniformed policemen, and the two sides were talking.
"Jingzhe?!"
Soon, my third aunt noticed me, cried out, and stumbled out from behind the counter. She came over and grabbed me, whispering: "Where did you go, you little brat? My eldest brother and sister-in-law are in trouble, I thought you were also..."
Her eyes turned red, but she couldn't say anything more.
I knew she really cared about me, and my heart was slightly warm. Just as I was about to respond, two young policemen came over, looked me up and down, and asked: "Wei Jingzhe?!"
"They are the police responsible for investigating your father's case."
My third aunt hurriedly introduced me to them.
Two policemen, one has fair skin and looks handsome and young. My third aunt said his surname is Liu, and everyone calls him Xiao Liu.
The other policeman looks much more calm and composed. He is in his forties, with a pair of bright eyes. He is a well-known powerful figure in the county. Many criminals have fallen into his hands. His name is Lao An, and I have heard of this name.
"Are you injured?"
Lao An's eyes were sharp, and he scanned me back and forth, which made me feel creepy: "How did you get this injury?"
In fact, all the injuries on my body were covered by my clothes, and they were basically invisible without lifting them. The other party probably saw it from the bits and pieces of my walking.
Needless to say, at this moment, I guessed that I had become one of the suspects in Lao An's mind.
The police have no father-son affection in their eyes. They have seen too many beasts who kill their brothers and fathers. It is impossible for them to be excluded just because of their relationship with the victim.
I can't say that I went to the tomb and was chopped by my master...
My mind turned, and I immediately made up a reason, saying that I have been in Taiyuan all year round, and the store was renovated recently. I went up to work, and when I fell down, I was ripped open by a steel bar.
Lao An still didn't let go. After checking the wound, he nodded and said that there was no blood at the scene. If I really killed my parents, I would definitely leave some traces at the scene if I was injured in the fight. It would not be cleaned up.
My suspicion should be temporarily eliminated. I immediately asked: "I have been recovering since I was injured. I just learned about my father's news and rushed back immediately. Have you found anything here now? What happened this time?!"
Lao An has been watching me. Obviously, this old policeman still did not relax his vigilance against me. However, probably seeing that my nervousness did not seem to be fake, he nodded gently: "We have found something. We were going to ask your neighbors, but since you are back, it is best to ask you."
He waved his hand, motioning us to go to my house to talk, and left first.
When I left, Lao Bai and my master happened to arrive.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Lao Bai and Brother Yaozi were in good condition, but my master was in a very bad condition. His face was sallow and he lacked his usual demeanor. He looked like a sickly person.
When Lao An and Xiao Liu saw them, they naturally asked a lot of questions. I said they were my friends, and then after checking their ID cards, they finally let them go. Under my guidance, they went straight to my house.
Creak!
The moment the door opened, a strong damp and musty smell hit me.
The place where we were talking was the main room. There was water everywhere on the ground, but it was not deep. It seemed that it had rained, and some places were already cracked.
In the past, my home was definitely not like this. Although it was a poor family, it was also clean. Since my parents had an accident, no one took care of the family.
I felt sad for a while.
"Where is the water leaking?"
Xiao Liu muttered, "The last time we came, the ground was also full of water..."
He shook his head and chose some places with less water to walk into the house.
After sitting down, Lao An suddenly took out something from the file bag. The thing was sealed in a plastic bag. It was a tooth about seven or eight centimeters long, hanging on a red rope. However, the red rope was hard in some places and showed a dark red color. There were also many bloodstains on the tooth.
"We found this tooth two days ago."
Lao An said in a deep voice: "After technical identification, this is a tooth from a Mongolian wolf. However, it has been pulled out for at least 40 or 50 years. The blood groove has fallen off and many places are cracked. However, the DNA of the bloodstains on it shows that these bloodstains are from your father. I want to ask you, what do you remember about this wolf tooth?!"
Before he finished speaking, I stood up suddenly and couldn't stay calm.
How could I not recognize this tooth? !
