Chapter 13: The Man Who Rose from the Dead
Zhou Yi got off the bus.
The door to the cab opened, a box of mineral water was placed in the rear compartment of the pickup, and several syringes were also in the jacket pockets, wrapped tightly in their coats, and facing the sea.
In the secret city, only the section of the art museum has a beach, and the rest of the coastal part is all reefs or cliffs, and the scenery is very beautiful, but it is not suitable for swimming by the sea.
The cold wind blew, and Zhou Yi looked at the location of Gore's house.
After waiting for a long time, a figure swayed over, not fast, as if trying to see the situation here.
Zhou Yi took out his cigarette, took two puffs hard, waved his hand at Gore, and then supported the hood, and when he saw Gore approaching, he threw away the cigarette butt and bowed to look at Gore.
"You're Gore?"
Gore nodded.
"Where's Estini? She's the only relative I have in this world, and I just want to know, where did she go with you, or did something happen to her, why can't the phone get through, no one can find her?"
Gore wrapped his clothes tightly and glanced at Zhou Yi's face, most of his vigilance was gone.
"I really don't know, but the name sounds familiar to me, and you know that young people always like to do something out of the ordinary, but we can't restrict each other's freedom!"
"What about Jennifer? Does he know, you can ask him for me!"
Gordon paused, looked behind him, and then lowered his voice and said:
"Jennifer is dead, it's been almost two months......"
Without waiting for Gore to finish speaking, Zhou Yi directly interrupted his words, with the stubbornness unique to the old man.
"Impossible, how can I die, I called Destini before, and he answered it, but now Destini's phone can't get through, so I came to find someone, and besides, I've seen a photo of you and Jennifer, otherwise how do you think I know the address of your house?"
Gore was stunned, not knowing if it was these words that frightened him, or if it was about Jennifer.
Zhou Yi deliberately said that he didn't believe Jennifer's death, after all, the news was not broadcast, and he also wanted to mess around and make Gore relax, thinking that he was really looking for him.
At this point, Gore rubbed his chin.
Looking back at his home several times in a row, Zhou Yi wondered for a while, what is this person doing, is there anyone in the family?
was thinking about it, as soon as Gore turned around, it seemed that he was going to go back, how could Zhou Yi call him to go, in this way, wouldn't all this preparation be in vain, just look at his appearance, I know that I don't know the news of the prison escape at all, and Alderson has not come to look for it.
"Don't go, you haven't told me about Destini's whereabouts yet!"
Saying,
Zhou Yi had already blocked Gore's way, Gore raised his hands and stopped.
"I'm not leaving, it's hard to explain, I don't know what to say, so let's call someone over, okay?"
Zhou Yi paused, he couldn't think of what it was to call someone over.
"I don't know anyone else, is Destini at your house?"
Gore shook his head.
"To be honest, I don't remember who Destini is, our friends who play together, almost every day we change female companions, there are a lot of photos or contacts, but if this person has seen his photos, you must know him, there are many things in this, not a sentence or two can explain it, believe me, I don't want to lie to you!"
Zhou Yi instantly thought of a person, but this thought scared him, because it was almost impossible.
"Who?"
Gore shook his head and took out his mobile phone, obviously he didn't want to say it directly, dialed a number, and the other party was instantly connected.
"I said where have you been, come back quickly, we're going to start!"
"Man, wait a minute, you come out now, I'm on the path on the east side of the villa, and someone wants to meet you. ”
"Who is it?"
Goer's voice was not lowered, he glanced at Zhou Yi, and said cautiously:
"He claims to be Destini's grandfather, he has seen pictures of you and me, my father said, you can't make trouble lately, especially you, he can't hold it down if there are too many things, you hurry up and talk about it. ”
After hanging up the phone, although Gore didn't use speakerphone, he really heard the content of the phone just now, and the other party's voice made Zhou Yi sweat and hairs all over his body.
yes
The voice, he remembered, was Jennifer's voice.
Isn't Jennifer dead, though?
Otherwise, why was he convicted of homicide?
What the hell is going on?
"Jennifer, didn't you say he died in a car accident?"
Gore shrugged, a tangled look on his face.
"Three or two sentences can't be said clearly, anyway, he's in trouble, this is his father's arrangement, I don't know the specifics, his name is James Miller now, don't be excited, old man, you want to find your granddaughter, or be calm, okay? Otherwise, I can't help you!"
Zhou Yi didn't move,
With one hand in his pocket, trembling all over, Gore just said that Jennifer is not dead, but everything controlled by Jennifer's father, could it be that he has some case on him and wants to change his identity?
And themselves,
Is it just a scapegoat in this matter, used to hide the cause of Jennifer's death?
The more he thought about it, the more incredible he felt, after all, all this was beyond his cognition, no matter how shameless a person was, how could he get to such a point!
Just as he was thinking, footsteps came from behind, and a figure trotted over, the man babbling impatiently.
"I said, who the hell is Destini? I don't know this man, hurry back, you're ready, I'm going to be you. ”
Gore pointed at Zhou Yi and said:
"Hey, don't get excited, this old gentleman's granddaughter can't be found, he said that when he called his granddaughter, you once received it, and he also saw a photo of you and me, and he came here today to ask about Destini's whereabouts. ”
Jennifer slowed down, glanced at Zhou Yi, and saw that it was an old man, and the vigilance that had just stopped in his footsteps disappeared in an instant.
"I don't know, I've seen a lot of girls every day, you remind me of my name, just like remembering the appearance of fishing and seeing fish every day, where do I remember who Destini is?"
Zhou Yi resisted the urge to rush up and punch Jennifer, looked sideways at Jennifer, reached out and took out a cigarette case, took out two cigarettes, and threw one to Jennifer and Gore, then lit one himself, and threw the lighter to Gore again.
Spit out an eye circle, Zhou Yi leaned on the pickup and sighed.
"Young man, I used to like to play when I was younger, but when I'm older, it's just talk, I don't want to disturb your life, I just want to find my granddaughter.
Her parents were in a plane crash, and I raised her single-handedly, and now that she is older, it is not impossible for her to be independent, no matter what, she still has to finish college, so I want to ask you when was the last time I saw her. ”
Zhou Yi's speech was not fast, and he was not aggressive, Gore lit a cigarette, lit the lighter and handed it to Jennifer, Jennifer did not refuse, after all, Zhou Yi did not say anything.
"Sir, it's not that we don't say it, we really don't remember, there are a lot of girls playing together, and you also know that we have a special identity, and there are more girls who want to pounce, I can only guarantee that if you see this Destini in the future, you will be informed, so it's okay, right?"
Zhou Yi nodded.
Without speaking, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.
Then he walked to the back of the pickup truck and handed the two of them a bottle of water in the carton, with an apologetic smile on his face.
"I'm looking for someone to be anxious, people are old and their temper is difficult to control, I hope you don't mind, but I just heard Gore say that you had a car accident before, and you changed your name, and now you are in good health?"
Zhou Yi handed over the water, which was regarded as an expression of apology, and Gore happily accepted it.
Seeing that Zhou Yi also opened a bottle and drank it, Gore didn't think much about it.
Jennifer originally ran for a while, but she was probably also thirsty, so she unscrewed the cap and drank half a bottle.
"It's a long story, it's my father's arrangement anyway......"
Speaking of which,
Jennifer paused, seemed to be a little blackened in front of her, and fell directly to the ground, and when Gore behind her saw it, there was a look of surprise on his face, and he hurriedly ran to Jennifer's side.
"Jennifer, what's wrong with you?"
After yelling, he looked at Zhou Yi, he was not a fool, after all, they had also used such a method, because at this moment he also felt dizzy, and it was a bit difficult to shout with a stuffiness in his chest.
Obviously, all this has something to do with the old man in front of him.
Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and tore the well-fitting hood on his head, tearing it off with great effort, revealing his true face.
Crouched down and looked at James, who was lying on the ground.
"Change your identity, let the name Jennifer die, do you want to change your name and continue to live? Look up, who am I?"
