Chapter 429: Greasy Middle-Aged Man
Liu Xuan drank with Ah Meng, I don't know how long he drank, but he felt as if the moonlight had faded, and it wouldn't be long before dawn, when suddenly his mobile phone rang.
He glanced at it, it turned out to be a call from Ah Lu, and he didn't understand why this Ah Lu called him at this time.
"Engong, can you come over now?" I seem to remember something, and I don't know if it's a useful clue. But I want to tell you that I'm afraid I'll probably forget it before long. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xuan directly asked people to drive him and Ah Meng over.
After arriving in the basement, Liu Xuan asked directly, "What do you remember? Why can't you just say it on the phone, you still need to come to see me in person, do you think this matter is very important, why do you forget important things?"
"I don't know. I've been here quietly for the past few days, and when I sleep at night, I always have a dream, and the cycle repeats. At first, I thought it was just a simple dream, but then I realized that it wasn't that simple. ”
"So who is there in your dream besides you and the fifth sister, what other characters have appeared, what are the characteristics of this character? Appearance characteristics, you can describe them to me, the more detailed I may be able to find this person. ”
"It's a greasy middle-aged man. This middle-aged man looks like an ordinary office worker, wearing an ordinary shirt. There was nothing special about his dress, but I vaguely remember that when he rolled up his sleeves, there seemed to be a tattoo on his arm, and I didn't quite understand what it was. ”
"Totem? Are you sure you're right, do you know that pictures and totems have different meanings. If it's just an ordinary pattern, it doesn't mean much. Totems generally represent some organizations or some ethnic groups, which is different. ”
"Yes, I know very well, so I thought about it, and I had to tell you about it right away. But I know that if I was talking on the phone, I might not be confident myself. Because I've always felt like I'm in a dream, and I don't know why I've lost this memory. ”
"I think it's probably because you've been hit hard, and it's not strange to say that you've lost a memory, don't you remember it a little bit now?
"I think the thing he wants to hide is his own identity, after all, a totem, as you said, represents too much significance. It is simply impossible for an ordinary office worker to be accepted, so he has to hide this. If it weren't for a fragment in my memory of seeing him roll up his sleeves, I wouldn't have known. ”
"So what was this man doing when you saw him? whether he was a passer-by or a person who was chasing you, or maybe he had some other identity, it couldn't be just a stranger in your dreams. ”
"He's not a passerby, but I don't remember what he did, I just remember him rolling up his sleeves, and then his hand was raised high, I don't know if he wanted to hit me in the next second, or if he wanted to deal with the fifth sister. But in the next second, the memory was gone, so I was puzzled about it. ”
"It's strange to hear you say that. It's just a fragment, and it's intermittently a person who has never appeared, this person sounds like it's very difficult to find, after all, greasy middle-aged people are all over the street, where do I go to find it? I can't lift other people's sleeves one by one. ”
"But what I can be sure of is that person should be in the imperial capital, because my fifth sister and I were attacked by others in the imperial capital. Moreover, I seem to have lost some memories in the imperial capital. I wasn't sure until now, but I couldn't be sure that the so-called dream was just a lost memory. ”
"Imperial capital? Do you know what the total population of the imperial capital is? If I look for this person according to the description you said, I'm afraid I can't finish searching for ten days and half a month, and the search requires skill, you said that this person is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, so when he doesn't roll up his sleeves, how can others see his totem?"
"And my memory of that totem is very vague, that is, I can be sure that it is a totem, but I can't know what the totem looks like. If I had to describe it, I could only say that I felt that the layer was very complicated, messy, and had no rules. ”
"You gave me this clue, it is nothing more than looking for a needle in a haystack to looking for a needle in a big lake. I really think that every clue you give me is very difficult, is this testing me? Obviously, I want to help you, but in the end, it turns out that you want to test me. ”
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be like this, it's just that I don't know how to be like this. Now that I finally have this memory, I want to tell you about it right away, and then I can analyze it and find some useful information. ”
"I understand what you mean, you've done your best, after all, the cause of your amnesia may also be injured, I can understand it. It's just that you know that the clues you gave me will still take a long time to investigate. ”
"I understand, so I'm going to be thinking hard for the next two days to see if I can think of something. I'm in a hurry now, and I want to rescue the fifth sister, but I don't remember anything, if I rely on these guesses alone, I won't be able to reach the fifth sister at all. ”
"Yes, there are still people who have the Night Pearl, and the Night Pearl itself is very attractive. If you can know anything about the Night Pearl, maybe it can be found faster, like I don't even know how many enemies I have right now. ”
"For the Night Pearl, I can only say I'm sorry, I really told you everything I knew. After all, the matter of the Night Pearl is their family's business, if she wants to keep it secret, she won't tell me everything, and if I know, I won't let her take the Night Pearl on the road, it's too dangerous. ”
"Don't say so much, I knew it was nonsense, it didn't work at all. You should rest first, and if you think of something, let me know in time, and now you don't use your brain too much. After all, lost memories are not so easy to get back, and it is useless to force yourself too much. ”
"But I'm really worried about the fifth sister, it's been a few days, there's no news at all, I know that Engong you have done your best, after all, the imperial capital is very big, but I'm really worried that something will happen to my sister and her, we don't know each other here." ”
"You can rest assured about that. I have analyzed with others, if the fifth sister is now the only survivor of her family, then the person who snatched the night pearl must keep the fifth sister and let her live so that he can find the secret of the night pearl, otherwise the night pearl is just a priceless pearl and has no effect. ”
"Then what if that night pearl is really just a valuable pearl and has no effect? I am now wondering if what the fifth sister's family told her is false? Is it an exaggeration, what special effect can a night pearl have?"
"Why are you so skeptical? Or do you just want that? ”
"Quite simply, I understand that there is a saying among you that says you can't have it both ways. I think that but a night pearl is worth a lot of money, which is already a great thing, how can it still have some special functions? If there is really such a pearl, the fifth sister's family would have been able to dominate the king a long time ago, so why live such an ordinary life. ”
"You are also very right to say this, if there is only one such bead, others will be very envious when they see it, and if they want to snatch them, I am afraid that they will not be able to live in peace for a few days, and it will not be said that the daughters have grown up so peacefully. ”
"Yes, and they have always been relatively high-profile, and many people in the outside world know about that bead. But the palace did not let them go in to offer the beads, and no rich merchant said that he wanted to snatch the beads, which made me wonder. ”
"I'll go back and think about this matter again, about whether the Night Pearl has any effect. Anyway, as long as the enemy doesn't know about it, the fifth sister is safe. Time passed day by day, and I was also anxious. You're working here, and I'm not the same. ”
"Engong, can't you really let me go out? I also want to go out and find the fifth sister. Hiding here, I really feel very unsteady, when I think of the fifth sister I don't know where I am, I don't know if it's safe, I can't sleep well, I can't eat well. ”
"Then you force yourself to sleep well and eat well. It's too dangerous to let you out, you must know that you were almost beaten half to death before, and now let you out, in case I don't have time to save you in time, you are being beaten to death, even if I rescue your fifth sister?"
"But I ......"
"I know your worries, if something happens to my sweetheart, I will also be worried, I can understand this, but your injury is not much better now, what's the use of going out now, you also said, you are also unfamiliar with life here, where do you go to find her?"
"I don't know, it's just that I want to do more and more. Sitting here, I can only do things in a hurry, and I can't do anything. ”
"Do you think it's useful for you to go out? As a person who is familiar with the situation here, I have not found any information, can you find some clues as soon as you go out? Many times everyone's mood is understandable, but it is still necessary to be rational. ”
"It's all because of that night pearl, it looks like a good thing on the surface, what a rare treasure. In fact, it can only bring disaster to people, since I knew that this pearl of the night existed, I have been worried about whether the fifth sister's family will suffer a disaster because of this, and now it seems that it has really come true. ”
"I don't think you can blame everything on a bead, after all, human greed also plays a role. If her family had always been relatively low-key, outsiders would not know about it, and even if someone spied on that night pearl, it might not cause such a thing. ”
"If her family could have dedicated that pearl of the night to the palace, perhaps there would have been no future disaster. ”
"It's hard to say this kind of thing, after all, hasn't the palace also been burned down? Now there are not many people alive in Miaojiang, and you can't say how much better it will be, because no one knows how long anyone can survive. ”
After comforting Ah Lu, Liu Xuan took Ah Meng back home. On the way, he thought that Ah Lu and the fifth sister were indeed quite pitiful, and hoped that after this matter was resolved, they could stay away from here and live a peaceful life.
And from Ah Lu's current attitude, he can also see that even if he finds the Night Pearl, Ah Lu will not let the fifth sister take the Night Pearl again, and when the time comes, he can directly hand over the Night Pearl to Dao Ye and let him save his wife.
Anyway, I don't care about the night pearl, if the night pearl can really save people, it is also a real treasure. If Night Pearl can't save people, he doesn't know how to help Dao Ye. After all, to get that bead, it will take a lot of tossing.
