My master is invincible

Chapter 1507 Hanging Coffin (48)

I gave it up and said, "You're welcome, but Director Duanmu has spent a lot of money. Xiao Jiu really deserves it!"

Director Duanmu hurriedly said: "Brother Chen Jiu, you've got nothing to say. You are all your own brothers when you go out, so there is nothing to be ashamed of."

Afterwards, the few of us boasted to each other, using some common language in conversation, until after the food was served, Director Duanmu poured a glass of beer for me and Jieba, raised the glass and briefly touched the glass with us and said: : "It's the first time I meet you two, I'll do it first as a respect."

Hearing this, Stutter and I looked at each other, supposedly Director Duanmu shouldn't be so polite to us, you know we just sent Yao Laosan over and treated us to a meal, it's already a gift to God Big face.

But now, this Duanmu not only invited us to dinner, but also lowered his status and offered to pour wine for us. This situation is a bit wrong!
At that moment, I picked up the wine glass and didn't drink it, so I asked him, "Director Duanmu, is there something wrong?"

He was stunned, and said with a smile: "It's true that I can't hide it from my little brother's eyes. I do have something to ask for, but before I talk about it, I want to ask the two little brothers, are they people on the road?"

After all, he raised his finger.

I understood what he meant. Generally speaking, people who are on the top point to their heads, and they all refer to people who understand metaphysics. I hummed and said, "I count as half of them. My brother can be regarded as a true Taoist."

Director Duanmu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "In this way, I'm afraid I can only leave this matter to the two little brothers."

While talking, he touched behind him, took out 2 yuan and put it in front of us. I asked him, what is this for?

He said: "Little brother, this is my little idea, I hope you two don't want to dislike it."

"Did you mean it or the police station?" Stuttered from the side.

Director Duanmu was taken aback, and said, "It's a personal request, and it's also a request from the police station, but the money is my half-year salary. I hope the two brothers will help me."

With that, he pushed the money towards us.

I didn't answer, and I stuttered.

Seeing that I didn't answer, Director Duanmu said, "Brother, do you think it's too little?"

I smiled and said: "Director Duanmu, please forgive me, we have some private matters here, I'm afraid I don't have time to help you."

He was a little disappointed and said, "The little brother is done, can you help me?"

I was startled, and said with a wry smile: "Director Duanmu, it's not that we don't help you, it's that we don't know if we can still live after that incident."

As soon as the words finished, Director Duanmu looked a little excited, and hurriedly asked: "Little brothers, are you here to look for hanging coffins?"

Just as I was about to speak, I stopped and said, "No, we're just looking for a kind of tree."

"Oh!" Director Duanmu sighed, and said, "Since the little brother is not free, I won't bother you."

After speaking, he got up slowly, collected the 2 yuan, and said, "I still have some things to do in the institute. I'll go back first."

"Waiter, pay the bill!" Director Duanmu called out to the waiter as he stepped forward.

This made me feel embarrassed, as the saying goes, cannibals are soft-spoken and short-handed, so I lowered my voice and stuttered: "Why did you lie to him?"

The explanation he gave me was that he was afraid that Director Duanmu would cheat us, so he planned to hide it.

I was also speechless about this, but when I thought of my father's words, I didn't speak anymore, and ate a full meal with my head depressed.

After the meal, Na stammer proposed to go to the police station to investigate the cases of missing persons over the years. I didn't refuse, so I followed him to the police station, and Chen Jiujiu didn't know what was going on. He hadn't spoken since the meal.

I once asked her what's wrong, but she just shook her head and didn't speak.

Regarding this, I was also speechless, guessing that the little girl was unwilling to speak, and I didn't pay her much attention.

When we arrived at the police station, Director Duanmu probably thought we were here to help him when he saw us. Check it out for us.

The result he found out was that there were quite a lot of missing persons in their town in the past three years, close to 200 people, and they were mainly in Pingding Township, which accounted for 90% of the missing persons in the entire town. Among the 90% of the people, Outsiders have dipped another 80%.

After knowing this statistic, Stutter and I looked at each other in blank dismay. Even though I thought before coming to the police station that there were a lot of missing persons, I never expected that there would be close to 200 people.

When Director Duanmu saw our expressions, he smiled wryly and said, "You two little brothers, you don't know something. It is rumored that there are three hanging coffins in Pingding Township, two of which are fake and one of which is true. It is rumored that as long as you find the real one Hanging coffin, you will be able to live in luxury in this life. At first, this news was only circulated in our town, but later, for some unknown reason, it even spread outside."

Having said that, he paused, and sighed deeply, "Like the missing persons you investigated just now, the situation has improved slightly in the past three years. In the first few years, the number of missing persons was even more numerous. My The former director once made a statistic, saying that since the news of the hanging coffin spread 26 years ago, the number of missing people in Napingding Township was roughly estimated to be close to 8000."

"Ah!" I exclaimed, my words were tied up, "8000 people?"

He hummed and said, "When I learned about this data, I had the same expression as my little brother. Later, as the disappearance rate increased, many people gave up the idea of ​​looking for hanging coffins. But, you Knowing that people die for money and birds die for food, there are still many people who are not afraid of death come to look for hanging coffins."

As he spoke, he sized us up for a while, and then slowly said: "To tell the truth, when I knew that the two little brothers were people on the road, I wanted to ask you to help find the hanging coffin, so as to avoid the hanging coffin. poison others."

Hearing this, Jieba and I looked at each other, and stammered: "Director Duanmu, I'm really sorry, we really don't have that time."

He gave up, "It's okay, I'm just complaining to you, by the way, why are you investigating missing persons?"

I was about to speak, but was preempted by Chen Jiujiu, she said: "I came to find my father, and they accompanied me to find my father."

"That's it!" He sighed, "If I'm not mistaken, your father probably came to look for the hanging coffin."

I answered, "It is true that I am looking for a hanging coffin. I hope Director Duanmu will keep an eye out for me. Is there any news about this person?"

As I said that, I winked at Chen Jiujiu, meaning to ask her to show her father's photo.

That Chen Jiujiu was so clever, he immediately took out the photo and handed it over.

What we didn't expect was that when Director Duanmu saw the photo, he almost jumped up, and immediately paid us 2 yuan without saying a word.

I was a little confused, what was he doing, and was about to speak, when Director Duanmu's words almost kept the three of us from going berserk.
