After hearing what Chen Xiaozhu said, the fat aunt thought for a moment and said: "There is nothing special in Zhuangzi. As for those factories, I don't know, and I haven't heard of anything special happening!"

Chen Xiaozhu glanced at Chen Fan and asked, "Have any outsiders come to Zhuangzi?"

The fat aunt glanced at Chen Fan suspiciously and said, "It's been more than three years. How can I still remember so much at my age?"

"Xiao Zhu, you are a good girl. Zhigang is not blessed. Just forget what you should forget. If you come to visit Zhigang's grave during the Qingming Festival, you are worthy of Zhigang!"

Chen Xiaozhu was helpless and said: "Fat Aunt, I understand what you said, but if you don't understand some things clearly, you won't be able to overcome the hurdle in your heart, right? Can you think about it more carefully?"

The fat aunt looked at Chen Xiaozhu with pity, then at Chen Fan, and said, "Let me think about it!"

At the moment, Chen Fan and Chen Fan did not interrupt, giving Fat Aunt time to reminisce.

After a few minutes, the fat aunt suddenly slapped her forehead and said: "You said you were an outsider, I really remembered you."

"It must have been more than a week before Lao Liang Zhigang and his friends got into trouble. There really was something like that."

"At that time, a guest stayed in the Zhuangzi. I don't remember exactly what he looked like. After staying for one night, the guest didn't check out and suddenly disappeared."

"But he left a bag."

"At that time, Lao Shang was still thinking about putting the bag away and waiting for the customer to come back to get it!"

Chen Fan's expression perked up and he asked, "Has that guest come back to get it?"

"No!"

The fat aunt said: "Then something like this happened, and I forgot about it even more!"

"Has the bag been opened?"

The fat aunt shook her head, "I don't know. That bag was kept by Lao Liang. I don't know if he has ever opened it. I don't know what's inside."

She stared at Chen Fan and said: "Young man, I think you have a good heart. You should be kinder to Xiaozhu in the future. It's not easy for a daughter!"

She obviously misunderstood the relationship between Chen Fan and Chen Xiaozhu.

Chen Fan didn't have time to explain, so he said: "Lao Liang should put those things for guests in a special place, right?"

"Well, it's usually kept in the locker at the front desk."

The fat aunt said: "But as soon as the incident about that stall came out, Zhuangzi has long been deserted, and you can't find it anymore. As for other special things, I really can't remember it. I only remember that one, it was that the customer was really strange, and the deposit was

If you don’t retreat, you will disappear!”

Chen Fan asked a few more questions, but the fat aunt couldn't come up with anything.

So he left with Chen Xiaozhu.

Not long after, they arrived outside a dilapidated village.

This was the Farmhouse Village at that time. In order to settle the veterans, Chen Fan invested in some small workshops and farmhouses for them.

The area of ​​​​this village is not small, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although it is on the edge of the suburbs, its value is actually not low.

The gates and walls have long since collapsed, turning into ruins and a desolate sight.

However, the building for guest accommodation is still there.

Walking inside, it is quite clean and not full of dust.

"I came to clean it."

Chen Xiaozhu said.

Taking one look at Chen Xiaozhu, Chen Fan sighed in his heart.

Although the accommodation building in this manor only has three floors, it takes a lot of time and effort to clean each room.

Three years later, Chen Xiaozhu can still do this. Chen Fan really feels sorry for Yang Zhigang.

If nothing happened, Yang Zhi would live a very happy life.

I looked at the front desk and saw that the cabinet behind had been smashed and there was nothing on it.

"I have never seen the bag that Fatty Aunt mentioned." Chen Xiaozhu said.

Chen Fan nodded and went straight to the room at the end of the guest room on the first floor.

This is a suite. There are very few things in the room and it looks empty.

"In the past three years after the accident, people in the town took a lot of things here." Chen Xiaozhu said angrily.

Chen Fan nodded, and after scanning around, he found a decorative shelf in the bedroom cloakroom and turned a small raised part on the shelf.

The shelf suddenly became loose, revealing a gap in the door.

Pushing open the door, there is a secret room going down.

Chen Xiaozhu opened his eyes wide with a look of surprise.

Chen Fan had a look of emotion on his face.

The reason why he knows this place is naturally because he has been here before.

After this place was built, Lao Liang and the others took him to visit. This secret room was used as a precaution.

Some of these veterans were from special military branches, so they set up such a place for emergency evacuation.

Coming from a battlefield background, he always has a sense of crisis.

However, only Lao Liang and a few others knew about this secret room. It happened so suddenly that there was obviously no time to use it.

In other words, they may not necessarily want to use it. The habit on the battlefield is to live and die together with their comrades. No one wants to live in an ignoble way.

Chen Fan walked down the steps and turned on the switch. The lighting equipment inside was still intact.

The secret room below is relatively open and contains some limited reserve materials.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

However, in the corner of one wall, there are a few numbers written in black pen.

Three five four four, nine five nine seven.

Looking at these two numbers, Chen Fan's expression became increasingly sad, angry and dejected.

"It seems that the bag was not placed here."

Chen Xiaozhu said.

Chen Fan turned around and walked out. When he got outside, he took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call, but he hesitated.

Chen Xiaozhu asked in surprise: "What?"

"Xiao Zhu, if it is necessary to dig up Zhigang's graves to look for clues, will you agree?"

Chen Fan asked sadly.

Chen Xiaozhu looked shocked and said in disbelief: "Why?"

"The two numbers on the wall of the secret room were left by Lao Liang."

Chen Fan said: "It's Morse code, which means coffin!"

"Coffin?"

Chen Xiaozhu was shocked.

"This is the clue left by Lao Liang. Many of them have disabilities and are in poor health. Did you know that they have coffins?"

Chen Xiaozhu nodded silently.

"I remember that when they were buried, they used the coffins from the Zhuangzi. Those that were insufficient were purchased from outside!"

Chen Fan said: "Old Liang left this password because he knew that things were not simple!"

"They found something very critical in the bag and realized the seriousness of the situation."

"It's a pity that I was out of the country at the time and they couldn't contact me."

With deep sadness, Chen Fan said: "They were waiting to contact me and wait for me to come back, but they didn't. So they hid the things in the coffin!"

Chen Xiaozhu couldn't believe it. She never thought that there was such a complicated and tortuous inside story.

"That bag was left behind intentionally by someone!"

Chen Fan said: "Old Liang Zhigang and the others were born in the military and are very sensitive to danger, so they would not just put things away and wait for the guests to come back to pick them up like ordinary hotels, but they would check it out."

"So they discovered something amazing, something that could bring disaster!"

"As for that murder, it was just a deliberate instigation by someone who wanted to get something back."

"After the incident happened, they searched all the places in Zhuangzi, and this secret room should have been searched as well. But no one paid attention to these numbers, thinking it was just someone scribbling!"

Chen Xiaozhu remained silent and said, "What if you guess wrong?"

"That's disturbing their peace in vain!"

Chen Fan sighed and said, "So, I need your consent. They probably have other relatives, and I want them to agree too!"
