Chapter 144: Jinjiang First Launch

Guo Yiyang was shocked: "He's dead?"

"No," Bai Mian said, "He is still alive. He was lying in the coffin at that time. The sound you heard was made by him."

Hearing this turn of events, Guo Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, it turns out that he was the one who made the noise. Then this matter has nothing to do with ghosts and gods. But why is he lying in the coffin? Is it to scare us? How could he have predicted that we would go there in advance?"

Bai Mian: "He didn't expect you to go there. He just happened to run into you. He was robbing a grave down there when he suddenly heard a lot of footsteps. He hid in the coffin in a hurry."

Guo Yiyang was stunned: "He also went down there to rob graves? It seems like he's not living a very good life."

Bai Mian nodded: "He lives in poverty. I've said before that Xiaoyue killed too many people, which affected the fortunes of future generations. In addition, Du Dasheng is also a wicked person, so his descendants will not be prosperous."

Guo Yiyang smiled bitterly: "Double buff, it seems that he is worse off than me, we are really a pair of brothers in distress! By the way, what is his name?"

Bai Mian: "Your brother is called Du Ziliang. As the only surviving grandson of Du Dasheng, he certainly knew the legend of the family treasure. After living in poverty for many years, he had the idea of ​​robbing the tomb. But like you, although he knew the location of the tomb, he did not find the treasure. He went there several times, but always returned empty-handed."

"Before his death, the old man in the family told him about the resurrection of the dead. He knew that Du Dasheng came back to life yesterday. He had the same idea as you and wanted to see what would happen in the grave on this day. Perhaps this would help unlock the secret of the treasure."

"He came alone yesterday. He traveled lightly and arrived at the tomb before you. He planned to stay in the tomb for a whole day to see if his grandfather would wake up. Not long after he came in, he heard your footsteps. He was afraid that you would recognize him. Although this tomb originally belonged to their family, it was still a bit embarrassing for a grandson to rob his grandfather's tomb and be seen by others. So he panicked and hid in the coffin."

"There is something like a bolt inside the coffin. He was afraid that you would push open the lid, so he inserted the bolt from the inside. In fact, the bolt is a mechanism. As long as the bolt is moved, the coffin lid will be locked from the inside. Unless the coffin is broken, the person inside will never get out."

Guo Yiyang's eyes widened: "There is something like this in the coffin, why didn't I notice it?"

Bai Mian: "This latch is installed on the inner wall of the coffin. You can only see it when you lie in the coffin. Du Dasheng expected that someone would come to rob the tomb. In order to punish the tomb thief, he specially made this mechanism. If someone sneaks into the coffin and gropes around, and accidentally triggers this mechanism, they will be trapped in the coffin and die of lack of oxygen, becoming Du Dasheng's burial object."

Lame Brother sighed, "It looks like a simple coffin, but there is so much hidden inside. The craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the past should not be underestimated. It's a pity that Du Dasheng probably didn't expect that the last device he designed would be used on his own grandson. It's really a case of one's own misfortune."

Guo Yiyang panicked: "Then my brother is trapped inside? In that case, the sound he made in the coffin was not to scare us, but to ask for help!"

"That's right," Bai Mian said, "When you were about to leave, Du Ziliang was about to push open the coffin lid, but then he found that he couldn't push it open, so he wanted to call you back. What he wanted to say at the time was - don't leave, come back, save me."

"Shit!" Guo Yiyangteng stood up suddenly, "Is he still in there? Could he be trapped to death? No, we have to go and rescue him!"

As he was about to leave, a colleague stopped him and said, "Hey, are you out of your mind? Think about it, we already know the secret of the treasure. Even if we can't get it, we can't let others get it for free. The boy from the Du family is the only heir of the Du family! If the gold is really extracted, it will all belong to him. You and I have been busy for so long, but it's all in vain!"

Guo Yiyang pushed him away and said, "Get out of here. It's already this late. What's yours and mine? He's my brother! Even though we've never met, we're related by blood. I can't just watch him die like this!"

"Wait," Bai Mian stopped him, "I've already called the police. Right after I took your pulse, I sent a WeChat message to Xiao Chen at the police station, telling him the location of the trapped people. They've already gone up the mountain, and I think they've rescued them by now."

Lame Brother suddenly realized: "No wonder you are still in the mood to tell a story leisurely here, it turns out you have already called the police."

Guo Yiyang sat paralyzed on a chair: "Even if the person is rescued, but... is he still alive? It's so stuffy in the coffin, I don't know how long he can hold on."

Lame Brother thought for a moment and said, "I seem to have read in the news before that a living person can only survive four to six hours in a coffin. Any longer than that and their life will be in danger."

Guo Yiyang calculated: "It has been almost twelve hours since he went in. Can he hold on for that long? Master, when you say rescue, do you mean rescue the body?"

Bai Mian: "He is not dead. When you went to rob the grave yesterday, you repeatedly knocked on the lid of the coffin, and it had become a little brittle. Du Ziliang happened to have a chisel with him, so he drilled hard and finally made a small hole in the coffin lid, allowing air to flow in. So when the police found him, he was still alive."

"That's good," Guo Yiyang was relieved, "It's good that he's still alive. I'll go see him now. After all, we're brothers, so we should meet. Where is he?"

Bai Mian was silent for a while, then gave a location: "Qingshui Town People's Hospital."

"Why did he go to the hospital? Wasn't he fine?" Guo Yiyang asked puzzledly.

Bai Mian: "Although he is not short of oxygen, the air in the coffin is not clean after all. There are a lot of bacteria. He did not wear a mask and lay with the corpse for such a long time. He inhaled a lot of bacteria. Now he has a respiratory tract infection and pneumonia. He was sent to the hospital. I am afraid you will not be able to see him for a while."

Lame brother nodded: "Yes, I heard that pneumonia is contagious, you should stay away from it."

Guo Yiyang asked: "How long will it take for him to be discharged from the hospital?"

Bai Mian was silent for a while, then slowly said, "After the money that the coffin brought him is spent."

Lame Brother understood: "That is to say, all the money Du Ziliang earned from the tomb robbery must be spent in the hospital. Only when he is penniless can he be discharged from the hospital. What is the point of this? Not only did he not get a penny, but he also made himself seriously ill!"

Although Bai Mian felt sorry for him, he could only repeat it again: "It's like this. Because of his father's deeds, Du Ziliang's fortune was damaged. He is destined to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life. Once he gets rich, he will soon face financial ruin."

Guo Yiyang wailed: "Oh, why are we two brothers so unlucky!"

The employees behind him also looked unhappy. After all, Du Ziliang had become rich, and Guo Yiyang was Du Ziliang's younger brother. These employees thought they could follow Guo Yiyang to get a piece of the pie. When they heard this result, they all left disappointed.

Yi Yang hesitated for a while, then he scanned the QR code to pay Bai Mian for the consultation fee, and then walked out by himself. Lame Brother stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Guo Yiyang waved his hands in frustration: "I think I should just find a job. After all, the master has already said that I am not destined to become rich overnight. After a while, when my brother is better, I plan to go to the hospital to see him. Although he will not become rich, we will have one more person to support each other in the future, and the road of life will always be easier."

Bai Mian nodded and watched Yi Yang go away with a smile. Although he was depressed at the moment, he would understand soon that a simple life was also a kind of happiness.

Lame Brother was extremely sad: "Alas, this gang failed to rob the tomb, but they did find themselves a relative. Well, the Du family's treasure has an owner from now on, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. My dream of getting rich overnight is also gone!"

Bai Mian asked him sharply, "Why do you want to get rich quickly?"

Lame Brother laughed and said, "Look at what you said. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to get rich overnight?"

Bai Mian was not put off by his perfunctory response: "No, most people are just talking. They are not as desperate as you are. You seem to be really anxious for the money. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Lame brother said in a shameless manner: "Yes, I am short of money. I need it urgently. Can you lend me some? How about lending me 100,000 yuan?"

Bai Mian said seriously: "You have to give a reason first. If you really have difficulties, I can certainly lend it to you."

Seeing that he couldn't fool the man, Lame Brother simply wanted to run away. He said with a chuckle, "I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously? Little God of Wealth, don't worry, I'm fine."

Having said this, he greased his feet and ran back behind the medicine jar, continuing to stare at the fire on the stove.

Looking at Lame Brother's back, Bai Mian gave up questioning. She had already confirmed that Lame Brother would not confess his secret, but for the sake of her master and his mistress, Bai Mian had to dig out the secret.

Before the second lord arrived, two girls came back from shopping. They came in empty-handed. Seeing this, Gao Jin asked hurriedly, "Why didn't you buy anything? Don't you like the local mall?"

陸雪搖搖頭，只見夏芒拍了拍手，門外的一輛白車上下來兩個工作人員，工作人員從後備箱拿出大包小包，畢恭畢敬地幫她們提到了二樓。

“因為買得太多，我們已經成為了商場的VIP客戶，商場的人開車幫我們把東西送回來的。”夏芒說道。

高瑾驚訝地撅起嘴：“啧啧啧，原來本地商場還有這項服務，我從來都不知道……”

說話的功夫，商場的工作人員已經幫兩個女孩布置好房間，然後驅車離開了，雖然夏芒和陸雪在外面租了房子，不過她們還是把二樓的房間布置了一下，萬一以後用得上。

剛才白眠為過易陽診脈時周邊圍了一堆人，現在那群人還沒有散去，他們七嘴八舌地讨論着剛才的事，被夏芒聽見了，她興奮地說：“怎麽了，我錯過了什麽好戲？”

有好心的大媽把剛才的事繪聲繪色地給夏芒講了一遍，夏芒吃瓜吃得津津有味：“我去，還有這種事？太可惜了，我剛才不在現場，等大師下次診脈的時候，我一定要在現場吃瓜！”

陸雪默默搬了兩把椅子放在白眠身邊，看來她和妹妹是要當白眠的“左右護法”。

兩個女孩剛坐下，第二位緣主便來了，這次的緣主是一對夫妻，他們沒有做特殊要求，白眠便打開了手機繼續直播。

夫妻倆的臉色都很沉重，一看就知道是出了大事，白眠也沒有過多寒暄，直接問道：“出了什麽事？”

夫妻倆你看看我，我看看你，最後還是男人先開口說話了，他說道：“大師，我叫秦俊峰，這是我夫人米小琴，我們倆是南方人，結了婚後便來京城打工，奮鬥了幾年之後，我們有了一個可愛的女兒，還在京城買了房買了車，本來我們日子過得好好的，但是……”

說到這裏，秦俊峰雙手捂臉，有些說不下去了，米小琴接着替他說道：“就在前天，我們的女兒消失了，女兒名叫樂樂，她才六歲！我女兒長得漂亮，又聰明乖巧，人人都羨慕我有這樣的女兒，而且我女兒在網上也很紅，有很多粉絲，很多人都喜歡她，我真的不敢相信，我的女兒居然就這樣消失了……”

或許是因為焦急，米小琴說話有些語無倫次，但是白眠還是從這段話中捕捉到了一些線索，她問道：“你女兒是一個網紅？她的賬號叫什麽？”

米小琴：“就叫做‘樂樂很愛笑’，各個平臺都有號，其實她的主業是某寶的童裝模特，就因為她太漂亮了，我随手拍了幾張她的照片發到網上，沒想到就火了，後來我幹脆給她開設了個人號，每天更新動态，這樣漸漸有了幾十萬粉絲。”

“主業？”白眠有些驚訝，這麽小的孩子，連字都認不全，沒想到竟然已經開始工作了，她進而問出了一個問題，“請問你們兩位是什麽工作？”

米小琴和秦俊峰對視了一眼，雙方都有些心虛，米小琴開口說道：“我們就是她的模特經紀人，之前我們兩口子本來有自己的工作，但是掙得遠不如孩子多，最後我們幹脆都辭職了，全力支持孩子的事業，反正她看上去比我們有前途多了。”

夏芒說：“噢，原來你們夫妻倆全靠孩子養活，這孩子就是你們的搖錢樹啊！”

白眠暗暗點頭，京城的房子可沒有那麽好買，夫妻倆能快速在京城站穩腳跟，估計都是他們女兒的功勞。

“什麽搖錢樹，她是我們的女兒，我們很愛護她，你別胡說好不好？”米小琴怼了夏芒一句，夏芒還想還嘴，被白眠給攔住了。

白眠說道：“正事要緊，還是先說說你們女兒的事吧，你們的女兒前天就失蹤了，為什麽你們沒有報警，反而是來找我呢？”

夫妻倆又是彼此相望，還是米小琴先開了口：“大師，你有所不知，我們的女兒身上背着很多合約，她的拍攝行程很滿，我們怕一旦報警把這事鬧大了，那些合作的廠家來找我們要違約金，到時候我們的壓力就更大了，所以我們暫時把這事壓了下來，希望能通過報警以外的方式來解決。”

秦俊峰補充說：“還有啊，大師，這件事邪得很，或許不是警察能解決的，需要動用玄學力量。”

白眠捏了捏眉間：“米小琴，你剛才講述的時候，一直用的是消失，而不是失蹤這個詞，有什麽原因嗎？”

米小琴猶豫了一下，用手機播放了一段視頻：“大師，我就不多說了，視頻就在這裏，你自己看吧。”

白眠幾人湊上前細看，視頻的背景是一個攝影棚，燈光下站着一個穿白裙子的小女孩，女孩對着鏡頭擺出标準的拍照姿勢，模樣極為老練，過了幾秒之後，女孩仿佛看到了什麽不可思議的東西，整個人愣在了原地，然後鏡頭的燈光越來越亮，女孩的身體逐漸變得透明，最後完全消失了。

看完之後，白眠陷入了沉默，米小琴說：“看到了吧，大師，這不是一起尋常的失蹤案，我女兒不是被人拐走或者自己走丢的，她就這樣在大庭廣衆之下變得透明，整個人消失了！”

白眠皺起眉：“你再詳細說說事情經過。”

米小琴：“大師，不瞞你說，其實當時我和孩子她爸不在現場，我們當天有急事，把孩子單獨留在了那裏，那個攝影棚就在京城郊外，我們常去，孩子對那裏也很熟悉了，而且周圍還有一群工作人員圍着，我覺得不會出什麽事的。”

“孩子消失的經過我也是聽他們轉述的，攝影團隊是由某寶商家邀請的，我們雖然常去拍攝，但是每次遇到的攝影團隊都不一樣，這次我們遇到的攝影團隊叫‘ET’，是個陌生的團隊，他們說，孩子一開始和他們合作很順利，但是拍着拍着，走廊裏就傳來了一個聲音，那個聲音說——”

“齊子安經過，請大家回避一下，切勿擁堵！禁止拍攝照片和視頻！”

齊子安是一個娛樂圈的新星，專走搞笑路線的，他最近很紅，白眠也在熱搜上刷到過他幾次。

米小琴：“一聽到這個聲音，拍攝團隊的人就都湧出去看齊子安了，他們等了半天，走廊裏還是空無一人，這時候有人走出去查看，發現拐角處丢着一個大喇叭，剛才的聲音是從那裏傳出來的，根本就沒有什麽大明星，他們被耍了。”

“然後所有人都很失望，他們重新回到工位上，準備繼續拍攝，就在這時，他們才發現我女兒不見了，他們找遍整個攝影棚都沒有找到，攝影師回看攝像機，發現攝像機裏留下了這段視頻。”

說到這裏，米小琴長出了一口氣：“呼，這就是我女兒樂樂失蹤的全過程，這一切都要怪攝影團隊的人不負責任！我女兒才那麽小，他們本該看好我女兒的！等我女兒找到之後，我一定要好好起訴他們，一定！”

在米小琴講述的期間，白眠反複翻看着那段視頻，她總覺得樂樂消失之前的神情很奇怪，她那一刻到底看到了什麽呢？

夏芒也跟着白眠反複觀看視頻，看着看着，她忽然說道：“我覺得這好像我看過的一個科幻片，這個女孩像是……她像是被外星人接走了！”

“什麽？外星人？”米小琴皺起鼻子，一臉不可思議地看着夏芒，夏芒底氣十足地說：

“沒錯，就是外星人！你看，一道神秘的白光突然降臨，然後這個人的身體逐漸變透明，再然後她就徹底消失了，這不是外星人抓地球人的标準流程嗎？”

米小琴不耐煩地冷笑一聲：“哼，哪有什麽外星人，我看你是電影看多了吧？我是來找白大師的，不是來找你的，大師，你說這件事是怎麽回事？”

白眠對他們夫妻倆伸出手：“具體的情況我需要把脈後才能知道，你們兩位誰來讓我把一下脈？”

本來這只是一個正常流程，沒想到夫妻倆聽到這句話之後都臉色大變，米小琴把手放到了桌子底下，秦俊峰更是把手插到了褲兜裏，誰也沒有要讓白眠把脈的意思。

白眠玩味地看着這兩人：“我算命是需要把脈的，難道你們不知道嗎？”

沒想到兩夫妻異口同聲地說：

“給他把！”

“給她把！”

夫妻二人同時指向對方，把周圍的圍觀群衆都給看笑了，看來這夫妻倆都有着各自的秘密，不想被人知道。

白眠倒也能理解，不是誰都能接受自己的秘密被人公之于衆，于是她說道：“我知道你們在擔心什麽，這樣好了，我向你們保證，我給你們把脈之後只會說關于孩子的事情，其他的事我一概不提。”

In this way, the couple would not have to worry about their bad deeds such as cheating and gambling being exposed. Bai Mian thought that they would agree now, but unexpectedly, they still refused to give a hand. Bai Mian was a little surprised. Could it be that they had done something shameful regarding the child?

The couple was reluctant to extend their hands, so Bai Mian simply said, "Since you don't want to take my pulse, please leave. If you don't take my pulse, I can't help you."

The couple sat on the chairs and refused to leave. The atmosphere was tense for a moment. Xia Mang suddenly made a bold guess: "Could this couple be crying thief?"

"Why do you say that?" Bai Mian asked.

"I once read a foreign news story," Xia Mang said, "a mother claimed that her child was kidnapped, and she asked people everywhere to help her find her child. After investigation, the police found that the mother had killed her child..."
