In the dark night, an old man who was already full of mystery stood quietly at the door, and this old man was still the owner of the house, but the old man who was the owner of the house looked at Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu silently at the door, not saying a word, just thinking about Ye Ziyu was a little chilling.

Ye Ziyu is not the kind of thick-skinned person, for her, she entered someone else's house so uninvited, and was discovered by the owner, and her face instantly turned crimson.

"Old man...... That one...... I'm sorry, we just shouted for a long time and no one answered, so I pushed the door open and came in to have a look. ”

When she said this, Ye Ziyu's face was as red as fire, and she didn't dare to look at the old man's eyes, of course, she couldn't see the old man's eyes in this dark environment.

"What are you doing at my house?"

The old man finally spoke, his voice as hoarse as ever.

"Come to find the real secrets of the whole island, and your identity, of course. ”

Ye Ziyu was about to speak, but Fang Ming's voice came from behind her, and then, Fang Ming walked to her side, feeling Fang Ming's breath, her heart was much calmer.

"The truth?" the old man was silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst out with a strange laugh, "What truth do you know? All you know is the truth of your self-righteousness." ”

"Of course I do. The corners of Fang Ming's mouth rose, "For example, your identity?"

"What am I?"

Fang Ming smiled slightly, looking at the old man, "Your identity is very simple, you are the son of Widow He back then, all the villagers didn't notice back then, when they killed those children, there was a child who hid aside and peeked, and saw all this in his eyes." ”

"Fang Ming, what do you mean by that?"

The old man didn't answer, and Ye Ziyu showed a look of surprise on her face, because she didn't know why Fang Ming said that, wasn't it seven boys at the beginning, where did the eighth boy come from?

"Ziyu, all of us have fallen into a misunderstanding, only thinking that there were only seven children at that time, but in fact, there were eight children in total, in addition to the seven children of the disaster victims, there were also the widow's own children. ”

Fang Ming looked at Ziyu, "Do you remember that nursery rhyme, the last sentence of this nursery rhyme: one by one was locked up, one by one was sent away, and one by one came back." ”

"At that time, we thought that this last one came back, it should be the child who was sent away, but then I realized that something was wrong, if that was really the case, then there was no need to write this nursery rhyme at all, the last sentence of this nursery rhyme was superficial, there were three children, and the child who came back was not the same as the first two children. ”

Ye Ziyu's face showed a thoughtful look, "Three children were poisoned, one ran into the sea and drowned, one fell into the sand and suffocated, one was locked up, one was sent away, and this ......one came back."

"I see, that is, the nursery rhyme is not talking about seven children, but eight children. ”

"That's right, that's the real message of the nursery rhyme, there were eight children, none of the villagers knew about it, that there was a child who was hiding in the shadows, and after witnessing their atrocities, he fled the island. ”

Fang Ming's gaze looked at the old man again, the old man smiled, and the scar became distorted, looking even more hideous.

"The speculation is good, but don't forget, if I am really Widow He's child, then how can the villagers not find out, Widow He is a member of the village, and it is impossible for the villagers not to have seen his child. ”

The old man looked at Fang Ming with a smile and a mocking look in his eyes.

Fang Ming smiled faintly, "Yes, Widow He is from the village, there must be villagers who know her children, but don't forget, Widow He is a widow, and the villagers rarely go to Widow He's house on weekdays in order to avoid suspicion." Therefore, even if these villagers have seen Widow He's children, I am afraid that there are not many times. ”

"Of course, this is only a point, the most important point is that not all villagers know about the death of these children, after all, it is for the good of everyone in the village to burn the victims, but there must be villagers who do not agree to kill children, so the people who did it at the beginning did not tell everyone in the village about the children. ”

"Maybe it just so happened that those who did it happened to be unfamiliar with Widow He, and had never seen Widow He's child, or even if they did, but don't forget, there was a child running towards the sea at that time, maybe it was at low tide, and the child ran into the water and was directly washed away by the sea, so the villagers who did it did not notice the appearance of the child in the sea, they subconsciously thought that this child was Widow He's own child. ”

When he said this, Fang Ming noticed that the old man's eyes changed slightly, and he unconsciously turned to the left, and when he saw the old man's move, Fang Ming had a smile on his face.

Those who have learned micro-expressions know that if a person's eyes are turned to the right, it means to dodge and think, but if they are turned to the left, it means that they are recalling.

"It's a bit of a coincidence, but in fact, no villager knows that Widow He adopted seven children from the victims, let alone that Widow Ho's own children survived and returned to the island one day in the future. ”

Ye Ziyu listened to Fang Ming's narration, and her mouth opened slightly in surprise, because although what Fang Ming said was a little incredible, it was not impossible to think about it carefully.

Sometimes, the reality is just that.

"It's all your speculation, do you have any evidence?" the old man looked at Fang Ming and continued to ask.

"Evidence, I'm sure soon. ”

And just after Fang Ming's words fell, his mobile phone rang, and after glancing at the caller number on his phone, the corners of Fang Ming's mouth rose and looked at the old man with scars, "The evidence you want is here." ”

didn't put the mobile phone to his ear to answer, Fang Ming directly pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Fang Ming, you know what I've investigated, it's incredible. ”

On the phone, Hua Mingming's voice came out, and Fang Ming just smiled faintly and said, "Then Widow He has a child, right." ”

"Huh, how do you know?"

On the other end of the phone, Hua Mingming's voice was a little puzzled, but then he said: "Yes, I just asked the older masters in the village, according to their recollections, Widow He did have a child back then, and Widow He's husband was not from the island, and no one in the village even knew who Widow He's husband was." ”

According to these uncles, Widow He left the island when she was young, and when she came back, she took a child with her, and the latter person lived in a corner of the village, and Widow He's parents also felt that Widow He had embarrassed them because of this matter, and directly cut off relations with Widow He. ”

"In addition, I asked these uncles, and they didn't know about the children of the victims adopted by the widow. ”

When he said this, Hua Mingming's tone became a little excited, "Fang Ming, I have a bold guess, doesn't that nursery rhyme say that a child was sent away, a child was locked up, and another child came back?"

"Actually, I think we all guessed wrong, there are three children in this nursery rhyme, and the child who came back was not a mute child, but the biological son of Widow Ho. ”

"Fang Ming, isn't my speculation very exciting, please call me Formoming in the future, and my speculation is definitely not wrong, Wang Guodong It is impossible for them to find that mute boy, they are wrong from beginning to end. ”

Hua Mingming's proud tone on his face, Fang Ming really couldn't hit him, he coughed at the moment, and continued to ask, "What else about what I asked you to investigate?"

"There is no useful information about the Wang family, but I know from these uncles that the Wang family has been on the island for a long time, at least two or three hundred years of family history. ”

"Okay, I see. ”

"Hey, Fang Ming...... You shouldn't ......"

Before Hua Ming could ask for a reward, Fang Ming hung up the phone directly, and looked at the old man with a smile behind him, "The evidence is there now." ”

The old man was silent, and after a long time, the old face trembled, the scar on his face was distorted, and he slowly spoke: "I have to admit that you are a very smart young man. ”

"Yes, my mother did adopt seven children, and I had eight children, and those people thought that my mother had only adopted six children, that I was the one who had drowned in the sea. ”

Fang Ming and Ye Ziyu glanced at each other, their eyes lit up at the same time, and the old man with scars finally admitted it.

"You saw everything, you saw the murderers who injured your mother, and the villagers who killed your playmates, so after you returned from your studies, you returned to the village, changed your face and hibernated, ready for revenge. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the old man of the Zhang family was killed by you, and in addition to the old man of the Zhang family, the previous murderer villagers were probably also killed by you. ”

"That's right, those executioners were killed by me back then, this is the price they should pay, and the old man of the Zhang family is the last. The old man with the scar did not deny it, and directly admitted it.

"Old man, you killed the old man of the Zhang family to take revenge, but why do you still kill people at the entrance of the temple, isn't this indiscriminate killing of innocents?"

Ye Ziyu looked at the old man with a look of confusion and anger.

"Ziyu, you're wrong, the person at Miaokou was not killed by him, there was someone else who killed the man at Miaokou, he was just for revenge, and some people killed people by unscrupulous means to achieve their own goals. ”
