Chapter 71: Clues
"Red rope tied to the ankle?" Emily immediately said excitedly, "Why did I get to the orphanage and there was nothing." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Uh...... This should be the hospital untied the red rope when it gave you first aid. After all, you had some wounds on your body at that time, and the red rope soaked in the sea water for so long, if you hit the wound, it is easy to cause infection. Thomas explained.
"Can you tell me what the red rope looks like?"
Looking at Emily's eager appearance, Thomas was not impatient, he could understand Emily's desire to find out her background.
"Hmm...... Let me think about it...... Oh yes, I remember something. "When I traveled to China a few years ago, I passed by some places and saw some local folk customs, and I saw that some children there would have similar red ropes tied to their feet. ”
"Yes, that's right, it's almost exactly the same, it's a thin red rope tied to the foot. It's just that yours has 5 tied and they normally only have one. Thomas became more certain as his memories deepened.
"Huaxia?" Emily muttered, "So I'm from the ...... of Huaxia."
After digesting this information, Emily stood up and bowed deeply to Thomas: "Thank you, Mr. Thomas!" I was a yellow man, and when I was sent to an orphanage, I was only 5 years old, and I had amnesia, so I couldn't even speak. It was under the careful teaching of the dean that he learned to speak English. ”
"So before that, I don't want to talk about my background, I don't even know where my country comes from. Now I at least know that my motherland is Huaxia! ”
Thomas waved his hand again and again, looking embarrassed: "Don't be so polite, I'm very pleased to be able to help you find some clues." ”
After another chatter between the two, Emily got up to say goodbye, left the house where Thomas lived, and took a taxi back to the orphanage.
And the other end ......
Ye Yu looked at Emily, who had already gotten into a taxi in the light screen, and said, "This is very important information. ”
"You mean the red rope?" Shen Bing said.
"Hmm."
"That's very common in China, there are many places have this custom, I also tied it when I was a child, and tied a thin red rope to the ankle of a newborn child, in order to ward off evil spirits and bless the child to grow up healthy."
"It's very common to just tie a red rope." Ye Yu said, "However, if you tie 5 red ropes and go around 5 times, it is not very common, and it is a specific custom in individual places." ”
"Well, I only tied one when I was a kid. Is there any saying about this with 5 red strings tied? Shen Bing said curiously.
"You know, I'm a novelist now, and I'm always looking for obsessions in the name of looking for material. Therefore, I often wander around, and I have seen a lot of anecdotes and folk customs in various places. ”
"It just so happens that I know that there is a place in China where there is a special custom that when a child is 1 year old, he will tie a thin red rope to his ankle. Then, every year when you get older, you will tie an extra red string. ”
"That place is a small mountain village in Qianzhou Province, and since Emily had five red ropes tied to her ankles when she was first rescued, it means that she was five years old at the time." Ye Yu guessed.
Shen Bing didn't expect Ye Yu to be able to deduce so much information from such a detail, and couldn't help but be a little admired, and then she seemed to notice something.
"1987...... 5 years old......" Shen Bing noticed that there was some kind of coincidence between these two points in time, "I remember that Wang Bing lost his granddaughter in 1987, and his grandson Queen Lichun was also 5 years old at that time!" ”
"Well, yes, do you think it's just a coincidence?" Ye Yu asked with a little deep meaning.
"If Emily and Wang Lichun are not the same person, then this is too coincidental, because according to our reasoning, the poisonous spider and the abduction of Wang Lichun, as well as the killing of Emily, are related, but they are both in 1987...... They are all 5 years old...... But the blood identification results have shown that Emily and Wang Bing are not related by blood. Shen Bing was a little puzzled.
"Is there something wrong with your left hand?" Shen Bing asked.
"That's impossible." The left hand was lazily bubbling up, "I'm an information terminal produced by the Empire!" How dare you question my scan results! This kind of low-level scanning, if I make a mistake, you can throw me into the abyssal hinterland for a year! ”
"Who made you look so unreliable?" Shen Bing muttered.
"I'm not reliable, I'm not reliable!" The left hand was unhappy all of a sudden, "Where are you looking for such a reliable information terminal as me, don't say anything else, just an information terminal like me, you won't be able to find a second one in the entire empire!" ”
"It's true that you can't find the second one, you are the first information terminal in the empire that is defective when it leaves the factory, and you can't even run independently, you can only run it by parasiting on the host. It is said that because of your appearance, the yield rate of the empire's information terminal has dropped by 10 billions from 100% to 10 billion. Shattering the myth that the empire produces 100% good products. Ye Yu said very seriously.
"Cut, that's all the more about how special I am." On the left hand, he looks like a cow B baking.
Shen Bing had already seen the thickness of the left-handed classmate's skin, and after complaining for a few sentences, he didn't bother to ramble with the left-handed, but returned to the rhythm of continuing the discussion with Ye Yu.
"So since the bloodline test results are fine, then maybe all this is really just a coincidence, Emily and Wang Lichun are not the same person."
In this regard, Ye Yu shook his head and said: "The blood identification results just prove that Emily and Wang Bing are not related by blood. It doesn't mean that Emily and Wang Bing have no actual causal relationship. ”
"Forget it, don't dwell on this problem, wait for more follow-up intelligence information, and it will definitely help us solve this mystery at that time."
So Ye Yu shifted the topic to Emily's appointment tomorrow night, and said: "Since Emily can't get information about her life experience from Thomas, she will definitely go to the appointment tomorrow night." ”
"We don't know what the two-headed snake will do tomorrow to kill Emily. So it's time for us to go to the wetland park in advance and have a site visit. This will allow us to gather more intelligence tomorrow and respond to any unexpected situations that may arise. ”
At this time, Emily had returned to the orphanage, and after telling the dean about the results of meeting Thomas, the dean did not know anything about the five strings on Emily's ankles, so it was naturally impossible to give Emily more clues.
Disappointed, Emily finally had to go back to her office seat, took out the letter, and read it carefully several times, as if she wanted to write down every word on it, and see her own life story from it.
At last Emily sighed and put the letter back away, but she had already made up her mind that she would go to the wetland park tomorrow night anyway.
