Chapter 19 Strange coincidence, interview with Sister-in-law Zhang
Zhang Yan, oh, by the way, among the six people who died in the hands of Wu Ming, there was a girl named Zhang Yan.
Uh, it shouldn't be the same person, right?
I was muttering in my heart when I heard Sister-in-law Zhang, who had stabilized her mood a little, begin to tell her story.
Sister-in-law Zhang was released from the Human Soul Research Center in the ghost village in August, first at a nearby police station to confirm her identity, and then led to a nearby neighborhood office to obtain an apartment and various daily necessities. After the accommodation problem was solved, she was forcibly sent to the Chengjiao College, where she received three days of village rules education with a group of newcomers to Rengui Village. In the end, I accepted the arrangement of the "human resources and social security institution" of Rengui Village and got a job.
The whole process is the standard process for the resettlement of outsiders in the ghost village, and the ghost village has its own set of methods in the work of appeasing the outsiders, which is enough to ensure that everyone can adapt to their new identity and the special life in the ghost village in a short time.
One thing that has to be mentioned here is that anyone who enters the ghost village will get a chance to choose whether to stay or not if they perform well in the first month.
If you choose to live in the ghost village permanently, you can get a life guarantee and continue your life in the village until the end of your life, without worrying about your livelihood.
But if you choose to return to your original life, you need to work accordingly, create enough value for yourself to return to the real world, and contribute to the ghost village before you can leave. Not only that, but the person who makes this choice is also monitored and controlled by the village management of the ghost village. There is no guarantee of personal safety or the like, and you may lose your second life at any time.
Sister-in-law Zhang calculated in her heart that she knew that with her own ability, she might never be able to meet the requirements of being allowed to leave the ghost village alive, so she finally decided to stay.
But when she made this decision and went to the nearby police station to get her official identity certificate, she unexpectedly learned that her eldest daughter, who was the Dani in her mouth, Zhang Yan as mentioned by Brother Hu, also entered the ghost village.
This kind of thing is inevitable. Because the ghost village also has a household registration management department. When establishing a household registration file, the family situation of the person concerned will definitely be inquired. If there are relatives here, their hukou files must be linked.
The day Sister-in-law Zhang went was also the day when Tiandao University sent the freshman files.
The staff found out that Sister-in-law Zhang's daughter was also in the ghost village. And also new here. So let Sister-in-law Zhang wait for a few days. After the freshman assessment of Tiandao University is over, her daughter will be allowed to apply for a household registration together when she leaves the school.
Sister-in-law Zhang waited like this with apprehension, but she never expected it. Three days later, the news that Sister-in-law Zhang was waiting for was that her daughter had an accident in the freshman assessment of Tiandao University and died!
This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Sister-in-law Zhang, who had just recovered from a "serious illness", almost fell ill again.
Fortunately, the medicine she had been taking when she was treated at the Human Soul Research Center before, and Sister-in-law Zhang finally kept a clear head, but she had no choice but to hit her too hard, so she still made a big fuss in the police station.
As a result, she was deprived of the choice she had just gained, and became a temporary resident of the ghost village, forced to accept the supervision of the village administrator, and even lost the right to contact acquaintances.
This is why Sister-in-law Zhang was discharged from the hospital for more than a month, but she did not go to Hu Hai and Xu Lang, not because she didn't want to find it, but because she didn't have this right for the time being.
For the rest of the year, Sister-in-law Zhang has been in a state of supervision, living in a temporary residential area in a ghost village. It wasn't until a few days ago, when most of the village managers were transferred, that she gained a little freedom.
At this time, Sister-in-law Zhang's thoughts were to leave the ghost village as soon as possible, she wanted to see her eldest daughter, and she also had to take care of the little daughter she hadn't taken care of since she was born. It was also at this time that she heard that there was an accident in the western suburbs of the ghost village, and there was a golden opportunity for people to leave here, and then she followed a large number of people and secretly ran to the side of Xiyufeng.
As a result, he failed to get out, but was arrested by the police.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Sister-in-law Zhang's eldest daughter is a freshman at Tiandao University this year, but she died in the freshman assessment, and her name is still Zhang Yan, so she is 100% the Zhang Yan I know.
There is such a coincidental thing in the world, how can it not be shocking.
After Sister-in-law Zhang finished speaking, Hu Haichang sighed, left Xu Lang here to continue to comfort Sister-in-law Zhang, turned his head to look at me, and led me to an interrogation room next to me.
"Xiao Yan, you have also seen that Sister-in-law Zhang is very unstable now. I think the matter of that little table lamp will be slowed down for the time being, and it is better not to let her see that thing, in case it arouses sadness, I am afraid that Sister-in-law Zhang will go crazy again. ”
"Okay, Brother Hu, it's up to you. ”
Although I was unwilling, I still solemnly nodded and agreed to Brother Hu's request. You can't make others sad just to satisfy your curiosity.
Seeing that I agreed, Brother Hu's face softened slightly, and he sighed lightly and said, "Alas, Sister-in-law Zhang's life is also bitter enough. Xiao Yan, I have to stay and settle Sister-in-law Zhang well, or I will send someone to send you back to school first, and we will contact you again when we have time?"
"Uh, Brother Hu, you can just be busy with you, and I'll take the bus back to school by myself in a while. That one...... How are you going to arrange Sister-in-law Zhang?"
"Alas...... What else can I do, comfort her well, and then help her get her account. It is impossible for Sister-in-law Zhang to go back to the outside like this, I hope she can survive and start a new life in the ghost village. ”
"What about her daughter? According to the time, Sister-in-law Zhang's youngest daughter should only be ten years old. Mother is here, father killed and escaped and his whereabouts are unknown, my brother is lost, my sister is also dead, how will she live in the future?"
"Don't worry too much, isn't there still Brother Wang Jun outside. Over the years, every time Brother Wang Jun burned paper for me and Xu Lang, he would mention those two Zhang family girls, I think...... I think...... Damn it!"
Brother Hu was talking and talking, and suddenly he couldn't go on. It seemed that there was a fire in his heart that was not suppressed, and he raised his hand and slammed his fist on the wall next to him.
"TM, think about it, he's angry! Zhang Yan is such a good girl, how can she die like this! Dog, don't let me know who did this, otherwise I will definitely peel off his skin! By the way, Zhang Yan died at Tiandao University, Xiao Yan, do you know what's going on?"
"Uh...... Brother Hu, you're confused. Didn't you figure this out?"
"What do you mean?"
"Zhang Yan was killed by Wu Ming. Haven't you read the file of Wu Ming's case before?"
"Wu Ming, are you saying that Zhang Yan, one of the six students killed by Wu Ming, is the daughter of Zhang's sister-in-law?"
"That's right. ”
"Cao! I thought it was a duplicate name!
Brother Hu roared and threw another punch at the wall, and then his whole face collapsed, and he smashed his head twice.
"Damn, I'm such a fool! Wu Ming was the one who got him to the ghost village in the first place. If it weren't for that whim. Now Zhang Yan, that girl won't die!fuck. Fuck!Xiao Yan, don't check Wu Ming as I told you before, just think I'm farting. From now on, I unconditionally support you to go to him. No matter what, you have to dig him out as soon as possible, and I'll give you any guns and people you want!"
Brother Hu was really angry, staring at his scarlet eyes, looking like he was going to eat people, which made my heart tremble.
"Brother Hu, you ...... You dissipate your breath first. We're looking for people, not killing people, so we don't need to use guns. The most important thing now is to know where Wu Ming is, even if you can't find out where he is hiding, at least you should know who is helping him avoid being wanted. ”
"Cao, if I knew, would I still be standing here? That kid ......"
"Hu Hai!"
Before Brother Hu's words were finished, someone behind him suddenly shouted at him, and the two of us turned our heads to look over, and saw Xu Lang holding an A4 paper in his hand and hurriedly pushed the door in.
"Hu Hai, look at it, this is a document that the General Administration has just sent to various institutes, and this time the temporary residents fled en masse, and someone planned it!"
Xu Lang said and flattened the A4 paper in front of us, I leaned in to take a closer look, only to see a surveillance video screen printed on the paper. In the picture, a large group of people are walking on the road, led by a person in his early twenties, dressed in black, and inadvertently raised his head to reveal his true face, it is Wu Ming that Brother Hu and I are talking about!
"Hu Hai, this Xiyufeng incident is an emergency, the first to discover the situation is the border guard who is responsible for patrolling where, and the news has been blocked since then. But the next day, a large number of people gathered there, apparently someone leaked the news. The General Administration has already begun an investigation into the insiders, and the inner ghost has not yet been found, but it is certain that the two major organizations, the Ghost and the Holy Light, have been involved in leading the turmoil. ”
"What mission was given above?"
"The request given above is for us to immediately investigate the arrested temporary residents one by one, and find out those who have contact with Wu Ming, the leader on the screen. ”
"Okay, Xu Lang, you go and arrange manpower immediately, the people currently detained in the prison are not allowed to leave, and those who have already left will be arrested again!
"Huh, Hu Hai, haven't you always been uninterested in arresting Wu Ming?"
"That was before, and now I can't wait to catch him immediately! Okay, Xu Lang, hurry up and make arrangements, let's talk on the way." ”
“OK!”
Xu Lang agreed and left quickly. Brother Hu turned his head to look at me and said softly, "Xiao Yan, I'm going on a mission." You go back to school first, and feel free to contact me if there is anything. NND, Wu Ming, you kid wait for me!"
Hu Hai greeted and left, and as he left, he could clearly feel a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the office building in front of the detention center. Not long after, a large number of people who were clamoring for the unknown truth were brought here by the police uncle.
I looked out through the crack in the door of the interrogation room, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad about the scene in front of me.
These people all came to the ghost village by accident, and they all have the same goal in their hearts, that is, to get out of here alive, but the reality dooms most of them to never achieve this goal. Living here without any human rights protection, under the supervision of the village administration, and at the instigation of people with ulterior motives, they may end up losing their hard-won second life without explanation.
If, four years later, I still insist on leaving here after four years, but I still have to do nothing, will I become like them?
I don't dare to think about it, I really don't dare to think about it.
Alas......
Sighing helplessly, I opened the door and wanted to go out, but as soon as I looked up, I saw Sister-in-law Zhang sitting on the bench by the wall in a daze.
Brother Hu's two people are really unreliable, as soon as they came to work, they left Sister-in-law Zhang, no wonder Old Man Huang of the Human Soul Research Center was so angry with them.
I looked left and right, feeling that the chaos here should not be over for a while, so I waved my hand at Sister-in-law Zhang, who was dazed.
Zhang ...... Uh, Aunt Wang, Auntie! Here, yes, come in and sit down, it's too chaotic outside. ”
"Oh, good. ”
Sister-in-law Zhang stood up tremblingly and followed me into the interrogation room.
"Aunt Wang, you don't have to be afraid, just sit down. I'm a friend of Brother Hu Hai, and when the outside stops in a while, let's go out again. ”
"Oh, thanks. ”
"No thanks, Aunt Wang. ”
"Hey, young man, how do you know my surname is Wang?"
"Uh......"
Hearing Sister-in-law Zhang's question, I was a little hesitant on my face, but in fact, my heart was already happy. When I called her just now, I wanted to talk to her about some things back then, but in order to make sure she didn't get too excited, I had to find a suitable starting point, and this change of title was the most appropriate reason I could think of.
"Hehe, Aunt Wang, in fact, I also heard others say that your surname is Wang. Who is that, Su Qian, do you remember?"
"Su Qian?"
"Yes, a girl, it should be your neighbor's. ”
"Oh, I remember, it's Su Laosan's daughter, and I've been like a tomboy since I was a child. Hey, young man, how do you know him, Su Qian's girl won't be in this ghost place, right?"
"Well, that's right, Su Qian is also here. However, unlike us, she has become a ghost. ”
"Got a ghost?
"This ...... It's a long story, alas, it was an accident anyway, she had an accident outside, and after coming here, she didn't survive, and finally became a ghost. ”
"Really?" Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't help but turn pale when she heard the news about Su Qian, "Alas, how can such a good girl not live long." When I was crazy a few years ago, if it weren't for her father Su Laosan to help us, I'm afraid our mother and wife wouldn't be able to survive. Think about my family's Dani, or she helped her study to be admitted to our first high school. Oh, my miserable Dani......"
As Sister-in-law Zhang spoke, there were signs that she was about to start wailing.
I was so frightened that I trembled in my heart, and quickly changed the subject when she didn't completely cry and asked, "Aunt Wang, don't be sad, what can you remember after you went crazy?"
"Remember, how can you not remember. ”
"Then what happened to you standing at the intersection with a small desk lamp all day long?" (To be continued......)
