He Jianfei hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Brothers, what happened?" A worker said: "Just now a worker fell down and died." He Jianfei said "Oh" and was about to leave when a worker behind him said in a trembling voice : "Everyone, let's go. I saw it with my own eyes. Before Xiao Liu died, he turned around and smiled at me suddenly. I asked him why he was smiling. He said, have you ever seen a dead baby? I couldn't figure out why. He said such scary words, and just as he was about to answer, he suddenly jumped down. Really, I’m not going to lie to you, he didn’t accidentally fall to death, he committed suicide. When I first came to the construction site, I heard people say that the original It's a village with some problems. If you don't believe it, it's better now. Let's go to the boss and ask for wages and leave." Everyone laughed and said, "You're making such a fuss about a dead man." But He Jianfei's whole body shook violently. Shocked, I quickly turned around and saw that the person who just said those words was a very short worker whose face was covered with dirt. He Jianfei quickly pulled him aside and asked, "What did you just say that the person who fell to death told you?"
The worker looked at He Jianfei warily and said nothing. He Jianfei smiled bitterly, took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand and said, "Are you willing to talk now?" When the man saw the money, he smiled brightly and said, "Yes. , Ken, I'm afraid you are a spy sent by the boss. What do you want to know?" When they saw He Jianfei pulling someone aside, Uncle Li and Aqiang knew that there must be something strange, so they hurried up to listen. He Jianfei said: "Please describe to me in detail the situation before that so-and-so Xiao Liu died." The worker said: "Okay, Xiao Liu and I are in the same class, and we are responsible for laying bricks. Before he died, He has always been normal and didn't notice anything wrong. Just an hour ago, he and I were laying bricks, and he suddenly turned his head and smiled at me. I thought it was strange. Usually we are so busy that we can't even drink water. I couldn't care less, let alone chat. I thought he had something important to tell me, so I listened attentively. Who knew that he said carelessly: 'Have you ever seen a dead baby?' I was frightened after he said this. Xiao Liu is not usually a scary person. He said this for no reason and I don’t know what happened. Just when I was about to ask him, he suddenly turned around and said, Before I could react, I jumped down. It was a twenty-story building. I fell so hard that all my bones were broken. I was so scared that I almost cried. Anyway, I won’t work here anymore if I die.”
He Jianfei asked: "Did Xiao Liu get married and have children?" The worker shook his head and said: "No, he is only 19 years old." He Jianfei said: "Then has he told you anything about children before?" The worker complained. Said: "If I had told you, I don't need to be so nervous. I feel weird even if there are no signs at all. You said that a very optimistic young man, who was still thinking about saving money to go home and marry a wife, asked about the dead baby. Then he committed suicide. Can you make me not afraid?" He Jianfei asked: "What did you mean when you said there was a problem in this village?" The worker said: "Before I came to this construction site, I once met an old man. I told you that something will happen sooner or later if you mess around like this. Just wait. Is it worth it for you to work for those officials who are messing around? I asked him what the problem was, but he refused to tell me. He just said that the village was destroyed. Sooner or later, something will happen, sooner or later. Sure enough, something will happen, and I will never stay in this ghost place again." He Jianfei asked quickly: "Where does that old man live?" The worker shook his head and said : "I don't know. He came to the construction site while taking a walk. After saying these words, he left. I never saw him again after that."
After sending the worker away, Aqiang looked at the box in Old Man Li's hand and said, "It's matched again." Old Uncle Li said, "He just asked about the dead baby. How can he be sure to match these boxes?" No.?" Ah Qiang said: "Don't forget, the worker committed suicide an hour ago, and what were we doing an hour ago?" Old Man Li said blankly: "Let's check around." He Jianfei sighed. Qi Dao: "The old man has a bad memory. We found the first box and dug it out an hour ago. What Senior Aqiang meant was that after we dug out the box, trouble started happening in this place." Old Man Li said "Ah": "Sure enough, did we dig this box by mistake?" Aqiang said: "That's not necessarily the case. When this box was not dug out, the white shadow could still cause trouble. In the village People can still die. What the boxes and the remains of the baby are used for, we still don’t know yet.”
Before I knew it, it was already dusk. He Jianfei said: "We have been wandering outside for a day, so let's go back first. There must be news about Tan Xingwan over there in Xu Chuan." So the three of them started walking back, and met the worker who had just told the story. He Jianfei smiled and nodded at him. But he walked over expressionlessly as if he hadn't seen him. He Jianfei smiled bitterly, knowing that he was afraid of getting into trouble. As soon as he passed behind him, the worker suddenly turned around and called out: "He Jianfei." He Jianfei was shocked and turned around: "How do you know my name??" The worker smiled slightly. Aqiang, who had sharp eyes, suddenly discovered that the teeth in the worker's mouth were a bit black. The worker smiled and said to He Jianfei: " Have you ever seen a dead baby?" "What?!" Old Man Li exclaimed. He Jianfei stood there dumbfounded. After a while, Aqiang stepped forward and pushed He Jianfei aside and shouted: " Danger!" A ray of black energy burst out from the worker's side, passed by He Jianfei, and disappeared in mid-air. He Jianfei turned around in shock and saw that the worker had inserted a sharp piece of steel as thick as a finger into his chest. Blood spurted out and covered the ground. Then he kept that smile and slowly, Slowly, he fell to the ground in front of the horrified faces of the three people, until he closed his eyes.
"Hehe... have you seen a dead baby?" A vague voice appeared behind him. At the same time, He Jianfei's compass began to spin wildly. When the three of them hurriedly turned around to look, there was nothing behind them. , the sound also disappeared, and the compass gradually returned to normal. The three of them looked at each other in shock. Aqiang said: "It's a naked provocation. He actually has the courage to show no fear to my and your relic necklace. Could it be that he is also a hot potato?" He Jianfei recovered from the shock and gasped. He said: "It may not be a provocation. We dug out all these boxes. Maybe for something, it destroyed its lifeline and it had no choice but to kill us. What kind of shameful deeds did this village do before?" Is there any connection between this baby and the legend of the Blood Staircase Library? Why do I feel that the more we investigate, the more we deviate from the campus?" Aqiang sighed and said: "The matter is so complicated and beyond our expectation. It seems that it is going to happen. It’s even more difficult to attack than the Road of Unforgotten Ghosts.” Old Man Li said: “After all, we have two insiders on the Road of Unjust Ghosts. It’s not difficult to know the truth, but this is hard to tell. There are mysteries in the layers of the network. I’m afraid it’s Not only did we get into trouble, but we also didn’t have time to investigate Brother Dao’s affairs. Both parties were delayed and nothing was accomplished. Wouldn’t it be harming others?” He Jianfei agreed: “That’s right, since the confusion here is too confusing, we It’s better to look after Tan Xingwan first.”
When the three of them returned to the hotel, they saw Gong Yong, Liu Canli, Xu Chuan, and Qiaoer sitting on the bed or sofa, chatting about how the Yuan Dynasty fell. When they saw the two of them come in, they all stood up with a roar. Old Man Li said: "Good guys, we have a tea party here." He Jianfei asked doubtfully: "How did you get in? It's over, I put all my money here." Liu Canli said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Who wants your money? You guys? Aren't the two of you too interesting? We agreed to go investigate together today, but not even a single person was seen. Where did you go? It made me waste the whole day." He Jianfei said: "Didn't I call Xu? Did you pass it on? You went to check the literary club, why did you have a free day?" Xu Chuan said with a smile: "I wanted to check the records, and I didn't need so many people, so I just went to Gong Yong." He Jianfei smiled and said to Liu Canli: "That's not bad. I created an opportunity for you and Qiao'er to be alone. Did any sparks fly?" Qiao'er's face immediately turned red: "Senior brother, if you keep joking like this, I'll go out." Liu Canli said angrily: "Who follows? Is she alone? I've been in the office and haven't met her! It's really unreasonable for you to let me go and still accuse me unjustly."
He Jianfei said: "Okay, okay, let me let you take the lead next time, okay? This Junxing is not your son, why are you nervous? This matter seems very complicated, are you worried that you won't be busy? Let's get down to business first. , did Xu Chuan find the clues left by Tan Xingwan?" Xu Chuan said: "It was easy to find, and we found it in less than an hour. We went to the literary club and only looked for things written by Tan Xingwan, and he wrote He doesn't have many scattered articles, but he has written a few books. In a book called "Talking about the Red Mansion", Gong Yong and I found a strange unfinished poem on the title page. It was actually given to Zhang Junxing. No, I know when they recited it when they were leaving. We thought about it, but the meaning was unclear, so I copied it down." After saying that, he took out a piece of paper and handed it over. When He Jianfei took it over and looked at it, he saw that it read : A gift to Zhang Jun from his close friend Boya Jun during his travels. The sound of silk fabrics is spread across the mountains and flowing water.
The way to say goodbye is endless, and the beautiful flowers in the pen are difficult to shed tears.
There are thousands of colorful flowers, and the water is clear and clear.
He Jianfei frowned and said, "It's even more complicated now. Tan Xingwan is very talented, but he treats others as well-read as him. Each of these three strange poems has no clue. It's completely impossible to start, and it's impossible to start." Knowing how many allusions and acrostic poems were used, I'm afraid Zhang Junxing wouldn't be able to guess it even if he were still alive. Now it seems that Tan Xingwan's motives are quite suspicious. If he is the wronged soul, why did he leave these poems behind? Is he pretending to be innocent? If he is not an innocent soul but a victim, then is he leaving these poems to analyze the truth? But how could he predict that he would disappear in advance? Did he want to disappear or something happened? Special circumstances led to his disappearance? I originally thought that the Blood Staircase Library was too complicated, so I turned to Tan Xingwan, who knew it would be even more complicated. It seems that the mystery of these three strange poems must be solved before I can get it. Okay, Liu Canli, you have something to do." Everyone was listening to his explanation one by one, and they all burst into laughter when they heard the last sentence. Liu Canli said angrily: "It's not fair, why do you want me to solve the poetry riddle? Didn't you say that Zhang Junxing can't figure it out even in his next life?" He Jianfei laughed and said: "That's weird, who was clamoring to take the lead just now? This Genliang is big enough. Besides, haven't you always been known as the second generation of campus heroes? Do you know that in 1951, Zhang Junxing and Tan Xingwan were also quite favored by everyone to take over the position of campus duo? Talent, but in the end Tan Xingwan had no intention of joining the student union. If you can solve the mystery set by this successor, you will be qualified to surpass them and become the second generation of campus heroes. What they have is strength, but what they don’t have is Luck." Gong Yong said with a smile: "Senior brother said that we must solve this mystery." Qiao'er said: "Let's all come to help. When everyone gathers firewood, the flames will be high, so we are not afraid that we will not be able to solve it." He Jianfei said with a smile: " That’s exactly what it means.”
Liu Canli glanced at the strange box that Old Man Li was holding, and said enthusiastically: "What is that? I haven't asked you what you found out yet?" He Jianfei said: "I was about to tell you, this box..." Xu Chuan suddenly stood up and said: "Senior brother, I almost forgot, my master has a secret order for you about brother Dao." He smiled lightly. He Jianfei is such a smart person. He guessed everything immediately and said with a smile: "Okay, tell me later. This box was accidentally obtained during our investigation. There is nothing in it. It was probably used to store jewelry in the past." Yes, I saw it had a strange pattern, and wanted to give it to Senior Brother to identify whether it is an antique. Today I went out to investigate the bloody curse, but the place has been greatly changed due to construction, and we found nothing. Our trip was in vain. Wait Let's think of other ways tomorrow." Old man Li is not a man who takes things easy. When he saw He Jianfei suddenly changed his mind and started talking nonsense, he knew there must be a reason, so he also agreed: "That's right, but I'm such an old man." Gong Yong asked: "Where has Senior Aqiang gone?" Mr. Li was also wondering why Aqiang had not made a sound and disappeared. He Jianfei had already responded with a smile: "He is a spiritual body, unlike us who have to eat and sleep." , I guess I went wandering around again."
Seeing Xu Chuan looking at He Jianfei eagerly, Qiaoer stood up and said wisely: "Since there is nothing else, let's leave first. Xu Chuan still needs to give a secret order." So Gong Yong and others stood up and said goodbye, He Jianfei sent them out, quickly closed the door, and said to Xu Chuan who was still in the room: "What happened?" Xu Chuan looked around warily and whispered: "We have a traitor here." As soon as he said this, both He Jianfei and Mr. Li were shocked and asked in unison: "Who is it?" Xu Chuan shook his head and said: "I don't know, I also discovered it by accident." He Jianfei felt his heart pounding and said: "How did you do it? Found it?" Xu Chuandao: "Gong Yong and I went to check out the literary club and came back. Since there were no classes in the afternoon, I was bored. I thought of going to the library and suddenly woke up. Tan Xingwan would write poems and riddles. Could it be that Wouldn't Zhang Junxing leave any clues? And my senior brother also said that it is not clear who is the right one among these two people, and Zhang Junxing is the one who can easily get into the iron box, so I went in and took a look. Who knew that I would find out when I looked at it? , there was a file that had a few pages torn out. I took a closer look and saw that the person tore it very carefully, but there were still jagged edges, and judging from the marks, it seemed that it had been torn off just a few days ago." He Jianfei hurriedly asked: "What is the content of that file?" Xu Chuan replied: "It records students' enrollment and transfer records." He Jianfei said in surprise: "Why did that traitor tear this up? This has something to do with what we are investigating. What's the connection?" Old Man Li said: "There must be a connection to tear it off. No wonder you stood up and interrupted He Jianfei when he was about to talk about the box."
Xu Chuandao: "That's natural. These three strange poems left by Tan Xingwan are extremely difficult to understand. It doesn't hurt to show them to him. Moreover, they were discovered before and there is no way to hide them. But in the future, we must be extremely careful. I'm afraid no one else can be trusted except Senior Aqiang, Old Man Li, Senior Brother, and me." He Jianfei still found it difficult to be confident: "No matter whether the wronged soul is Zhang Junxing or Tan Xingwan, they were all fifty years ago after all. How come there is a traitor now? What is the relationship between this traitor and them? Xu Chuan, go and check if they have any relatives who have also been admitted to the university?" Xu Chuan said calmly: " I checked, no. Zhang Junxing and Tan Xingwan are both only children. Although they have distant relatives, they rarely interact with each other. Moreover, I have also consulted the relevant file recorders in detail. I have classmates from the same hometown of Zhang Junxing and Tan Xingwan. Everything has been checked and everything is normal. They all have normal family origins." Old Man Li said: "Do you mean to say that the traitor has nothing to do with the enemy? He may just go there out of pure admiration or for personal purposes. Help him?" He Jianfei smiled bitterly and said, "If this is the case, it will be difficult."
Old Man Li added: "Then the biggest suspect at the moment is Qiao'er. Think about it, she suddenly appeared, knew everything about us, and insisted on joining us..." Before he could finish his words, He Jianfei interrupted: "This Don't make random guesses. We don't have any clues now. What we are afraid of is preconceptions that will affect the final judgment. The four of us just need to be careful. The fox will always show its tail. The most urgent thing now is to determine who the wronged soul is and what his identity is. Where does the magic power come from? As long as it threatens the existence of the wronged soul, I don't believe that the traitor can't show up." Xu Chuan agreed: "Senior brother is right, now that everything is said and done, I won't bother you anymore." He Jianfei When sending Xu Chuan off, he caught a glimpse of a faint halo flashing at the end of the corridor. After sending Xu Chuan off, He Jianfei came to the corridor. Sure enough, Aqiang was standing there, looking thoughtfully at the corner. , He Jianfei smiled and said: "Where did you go just now? There is something exciting that you didn't hear." Aqiang said: "Wonderful? Can it be as exciting as what I have here? Look at this place, it's really interesting." He Jianfei followed the sound and looked over, his face changed drastically. On the wall near the ground near the door of their room, someone had used black charcoal to draw a crooked and crude image of a baby. "Have you seen the dead baby?" Aqiang said: "It seems that we really violated something by digging out that box. I'm afraid we will see the truth tonight."
He Jianfei's heart was trembling. He didn't expect that the head-on confrontation would come so quickly: "Then should we send Old Uncle Li away first?" Aqiang thought for a while and said: "No, I just estimate that he may not come, and if we join forces, he may not come." It can be beaten. I just feel strange that our strength is not weak. If he does this, either we threaten its existence, or it is far stronger than us. I just hope it is not the latter. If it is the latter It’s not surprising that the story behind such a great legend as the Blood Staircase Library is definitely not a simple inside story, and the intricacies of it may always surprise you.”
