Chapter 8: The Connection of Past Memories
"Would you like something sweet?" Song Fei smiled and asked me, "I've heard that when you're depressed, desserts and the like can soothe your mood." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
I shook my head: "It's okay, I often have nightmares and I'm used to it." ”
Song Fei didn't speak again, but I could see a different kind of emotion in her eyes, different from ridicule, like a complex emotion mixed with worry and distress. I covered her eyes with my hand. Song Fei has, but also let me do this. "Don't look like that." I said to her, "I'm fine, don't worry. ”
Song Fei pulled my hand down and asked me, "Aren't you going to tell me about the case you and Li Jing are working on now?" Angcai Li Jing said that you need to check some information, I have a database here, if you need it, I can help. ”
I shook my head; "Thank you for your kindness, I have my own way of investigating here." I still refused her offer to help me.
"You're always trying to create a sense of distance, but the truth is that you know it's not what you want. You need people to approach you, but you have to resist other people's resistance, and that's not good. I don't know what happened to you, but I know that if you continue to be affected by those sufferings, you will not be able to survive, I have seen too many children who want to be like you, who can get back on their feet, but choose to be wrapped in their own negative emotions, resist contact with others, and finally fall into a darker abyss. I don't want you to be that kind of child, I'm sorry I overheard your dreams, and I'm sorry that I asked Li Jing about your situation without permission. But I think even if you're sick, there's still a chance to do it all over again. When Song Fei found out that I was still the same, she finally sighed and left the room, and when she was at the door, she stopped and said with her back to me.
I couldn't see her expression, I could only hear the sad sigh in her voice, and I always felt that it was definitely not as simple as he said about you after arranging for him to take care of me. But I didn't want to get involved in other people's affairs or emotional memories, so I could only shrug my shoulders and say indifferently: "Maybe, I want to sleep a little longer and stop talking to you." With that, I fell back on the pillow.
Song Fei's figure paused, and then walked out with an empty cup without saying anything. I vaguely heard her muttering, "I really hope you can live well." But I didn't hear it too clearly.
After he left, I didn't fall asleep, but looked at the ceiling with my eyes open and thought about Xuan Feng's affairs. said that I didn't know Xuanfeng at all, but I was deliberately lying to Li Jing. I don't know much about dyeing, but in order to prevent any possible harm to Xiaozhi, I did check the information of everyone in the organization, even if I knew that some people were using fake identities. But even if they are fake, in order to be seamless, the organization will arrange for their living situation to be basically the same as their resume. Just like Xuan Feng, the life experience I can find out is the same as his new identity of 'Xuan Feng' now.
When Whirlwind was co-opted, the people he brought with him had a new identity just like him, along with the woman who had been following him. It's just that even when she was co-opted, I rarely saw her appear in meetings within the organization, supposedly as his wife. However, the wedding was held after Xuan Feng was adopted, but the establishment of a relationship should have been before the acquisition. I suddenly seemed to be stimulated by this incident, Li Jing said before that Xuanfeng's concept was that after experiencing some kind of setback, he began to transform from robbery to bloodthirsty maniac, and it was also because after receiving a certain summary stimulus, he suddenly stopped killing. Could that woman be the reason he stopped killing? Thinking like this, I had a rough guess in my heart, now as long as I find the earliest connection between Xuan Feng's wife and Xuan Feng, I can determine whether she is a factor that affects Xuan Feng's stoppage.
Thinking of this, I instantly felt a lot clearer in my mind, and I had information to check, but I couldn't go out. When he walked out of the room, he saw Song Fei sitting on the sofa reading the information, so he walked over and asked stiffly, "Sister, can you accompany me out?" ”
Song Fei diverted her attention from the information, took off her glasses and asked me, "Is there something?" ”
"Well, I want to go on a bad trip, but it's a bit dangerous to go out alone right now." I know Song Fei will understand what I mean.
Sure enough, Song Fei nodded, and then took the information and asked me, "Where are you going?" ”
"Secret." I thought about it, but I resisted the answer that was about to blurt out.
Song Fei put down the information in his hand and looked at me with a smile; "But if you don't tell me, I can't send you there, and if that place is dangerous, I'm going to die with you?"
"Whatever you want." I didn't want to get more people into this matter, as for how to avoid danger, there are actually other ways, if you contact Wei Kai secretly, you should also be able to get help, provided that he is not monitored now. But even if I don't go through outsiders, the place I'm going to should be out of Ban Que and a few of us who live in the old family's children, no one should know, in fact, thinking about it this way, I don't have any danger, because Ban Que is very guarded, and he will not easily reveal that place to outsiders, so on the contrary, I don't have to worry about him bringing outsiders in to threaten me, and he will not easily leak this place. As long as I can successfully get there, I probably won't face the danger I imagined, but how to get there is really a difficult problem for me, and I can't let Song Fei know where I'm going, and I have to let Song Fei send me over, and it's in the case of repeatedly offending Song Fei, which makes me feel a special headache. Now that I think about it, if I could learn Xiaozhi's coquettishness, I wouldn't have made a mess of things like I am now.
Song Fei kept looking at me, which made me a little embarrassed, I turned my head to look at her, and decided to make it clear: "I'm sorry, I don't know how Li Jing told you about my situation, but no matter how he describes it, he should have told you that I can't let too many people know about my current situation, the more people know about me, the more dangerous I am, it's not that I don't trust you, I don't trust everyone around me." So I'm not hungry to tell you where I'm going, but I want you to protect me and go where I want to go. That way you don't get involved and you're safe. ”
Song Fei glanced at me, then got up to get the car keys, muttering; "You two are really alike."
"Who?" I thought it was referring to me and Li Jing.
But Song Fei was stunned, and after a short silence, she shook her head: "You don't know." But the expression on his face, which he thought was hidden by the head of the mainland, made people feel more and more distressed, and I thought that I might have mentioned his sadness, so I shut up and stopped talking. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at me with a smile and said, "So even the reaction of the two of you Zizhi after the accident is the same." ”
I don't know who the other person she is talking about, and in fact I don't care. I waited for her to open the door and walked out with him, and then I noticed that he seemed to like to use his left hand to play with the thin bracelet on his right wrist, although he didn't care too much about other people's personalities, but watching his movements, I couldn't help but ask, "Are you nervous?" After thinking about it, it didn't seem appropriate to ask, and added, "I mean, are you nervous about sending me out and putting you in danger?" ”
"What?" She obviously didn't hear my question clearly, after all, he was a little distracted to fiddle with the bracelet along the way.
I pointed to her wrist: "The bracelet is beautiful and takes all your thoughts away." It's a gift from someone very important, right? ”
Song Fei looked at his wrist and then at me: "Forget it, my condition today is not suitable for driving, let's take a taxi, and then I'll find a place to wait for you, you can come to me after checking the information." ”
"Oh." I don't care how I get there, as long as I can get there safely.
While waiting for the empty taxi, I caught a glimpse of a sneaky-looking figure, because it was a face I had never seen, so I didn't know whether it was the number of forces that threatened me, or Officer Li's mouth to put an end to Song Fei's own trouble, but looking at their unkind appearance, I couldn't help but touch Song Fei's arm with some concern. Song Fei just glanced coldly at those sneaky figures, and sneered: "Don't bother with them." It seems that it is Song Fei's own trouble, and it doesn't matter to me, but I still said politely: "When you are alone for a while, it is better to be careful." ”
"So don't you invite me to join you? After all, two people also have a care. Song Fei had a sly smile on her face
I knew that Song Fei was joking to ease my panic, but I couldn't laugh at all, not even pretend to raise the corners of my mouth.
Song Fei saw my embarrassment and took the lead in changing the topic: "This bracelet." She shook her wrist, "It's my brother's first and last birthday present." ”
After the empty taxi came, Song Fei looked at me and asked, "Do you want to hear my story?" ”
I nodded; "It's a sad story, you keep looking bad when you stare at the bracelet."
"It's not a good story, so I don't want people around me to experience it again." Song Fei looked at me meaningfully.
"Your brother also has two personalities?" This is the only one that can be related.
Song Fei shook his head: "No." ”
"Then I can't think of anything else like me about him."
"It's that the personalities of the two of you are very similar, or that your current personality is very similar to my brother, the most assertive, reckless, and extreme, these personalities are very similar to my brother." Song Fei looked at me, but there was no me in her eyes.
"It seems that we are all quite negative," I admit that it is the complete opposite of Xiaozhi's personality, his personality is positive and optimistic, even after a blow, he can still laugh like a fool, but I am different, as Zizhi's personality, I am completely negative and pessimistic, and even if there is no setback, it is easy to feel hopeless.
"No, it's just that you are too responsible, and you put too much pressure on yourself." Song Fei said, "You don't like to communicate with others, you are always strong, and you think that you can rely on your own strength to settle it, but you forget that for this world, your strength is too insignificant." That's why you are desperate and take more extreme masters against the world. ”
"So what do you want to say, what do you know about me?" The show was poked at the weak point, and I was immediately excited.
Song Fei knew that she had guessed my common pain point and smiled at me apologetically: "I'm sorry that this sentence hurt you, but I don't want to see a child leave this world in his best flowery years." She looked back at the bracelet on her right wrist, "But I'm really worried about you, whether you think it's a bad thing for your personality or just a nightmare, but you said that you miss my brother too much before he left." Especially when you see you talking in your sleep, your attitudes are very similar. If I had changed my voice, I would have seen my brother at the end. ”
When I heard the last look, I couldn't help but be shocked, although I had expected the ending in advance, but personally letting people say this kind of thing actually made me feel guilty, I suddenly understood why when I woke up just now, Song Fei's eyes had no sympathy, just worried, because he saw the shadow of his brother from me at that time, and experienced the powerlessness of losing his relatives at that time again. "I'm sorry, I may have been too tired the other day and didn't pay a good salary to take care of myself, which reminded you of painful memories."
Song Fei just smiled softly and shook his head at me: "My brother is very smart, he should be the smartest person in my family, he was admitted to a prestigious school at a very young age, and his studies were also very smooth, and when I was admitted to university, my brother had already started to study for a doctorate." He is a very smart child, but because she has been in school, lacks social activities, and has not experienced the chaotic but beautiful experiences of adolescence, he is lacking in interpersonal communication, the most obvious point is that he cannot communicate with the people in his laboratory, but he does not know how to vent his frustration. He has almost no friends other than his family, but he doesn't want us to see his vulnerability, and he has been held up by us since he was a child to think he can do anything, ignoring that he is also just a teenager. So when we found out that he seemed to have some emotions that he couldn't manage, or even when he thought that these emotions were causing some strange behaviors, we didn't do anything to help him. When he was on the tip of the bull's horns, he just said to us 'leave him alone' because of the pressure, which made us take it seriously, and there was really no one to help him, knowing that in the end she really fell into the brink of complete despair, and we regretted it. ”
When I said this, I saw a painful application on Song Fei's face, she looked out the window, took out a tissue to wipe her eyes, and after a while, she looked at the bracelet and said: "In the end, when he committed suicide in the dormitory, I was like a fool and couldn't find a reason for him to commit suicide." At one point, it was even investigating whether it was a murder disguised as a suicide. When I knew that all the evidence proved that my idea was wrong, I realized that I was an unqualified sister, and I didn't even know my brother's life, his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. ”
"I'm sorry." I tapped her on the shoulder, "But then do you know why?" "I don't know why I was so obsessed with asking him this question, but I always had a hunch that what she was about to say was very important to me.
"When I was sorting through his belongings, I looked at his diary." "It's rude and doesn't help, but I still want to know what she thinks about every day in her life and heart, even after he chooses to die." But every time I read the diary, I felt that my sins were aggravated, I didn't know him so well, I never knew that he was suffering so much in his heart. The incomprehension of his peers, the bottlenecks of experimentation, the pressure of our expectations, and the lies he told in order to maintain those good images in our eyes. He lied to everyone around him almost in order to look better, so when the lies were exposed one by one, intentionally or unintentionally, he broke down, he was afraid of facing our disappointment, so he chose death. I never knew that we, the people who claimed to be his closest to her and wanted to protect her for the rest of their lives, hurt him with invisible pressure, and eventually became the culprits who led him to suicide. I regret it, if I can go back to the past, I want to tell him that in fact, in my eyes, his most handsome appearance is the way he lives by my side, not a young doctor, not a genius boy in the laboratory, but a simple young man. Song Jia said, never taking his eyes off the bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet was also found in his relics, which he bought for me with the prize money from the laboratory, but he was never embarrassed to give it to me, when I was in love, and he gave it to me just to bless me to grow old with that person. But I was afraid that this would not conform to the social customs he had departed from, and would look very rustic, and I was afraid that I would laugh at him, so I never gave it to me. ”
"The bracelet is beautiful." I exclaimed.
"Thank you." Song Fei smiled politely at me, "He wrote in his diary that he had been looking for a long time. The first time I saw her, I felt like he was my salvation, the only connection I had with him in another world, so I never took it off. Later, I chose to pursue a career as a lawyer. Maybe it's a bit hypocritical to say that, but I chose to be a lawyer for my younger brother, and I do legal aid, always hoping to help those who have no hope. In short, there is hope only if you live, don't you? ”
Song Fei looked at the bracelet and looked at me again: "I feel that this bracelet seems to have some kind of magic, this morning, the bracelet suddenly hung on the doorknob of the fire door of the building where I went to work, so I almost fell, I thought that the time was very bad, I thought that there would be some difficult cases, but when I received a call from Li Jing, I met you." When I saw you again, even I was speechless in surprise, although I pretended to be very calm. The first time I saw you, I felt like I had seen my brother reborn. The gloomy expressions of the two of you are the same, and when you look at me, the showy despair and fear I can't ignore at all. That's why I sneaked to see you when you were asleep, knowing that you had a nightmare. When you talk about painting in your dreams, that kind of stubborn look makes me feel that I really can't make another wrong choice and let you go freely. At the sign my brother gave me another chance to save a child who was in great need. ”
"Don't confuse me with your brother, I don't need help," I subconsciously dodged her offer again.
"It's okay, I won't force you to accept my offer, it's just that when you get into trouble, I'll definitely be there for you. Besides, didn't Li Jing ask me to take care of you until he came back? So it's just a matter of fulfilling the duties he gave me, and don't worry about me disturbing you. "Song Fei didn't force me to accept her offer. At this point, the taxi had already arrived at the place I said, and there was a small tea house where we got off, and I suggested that she wait for me inside, and the tea club was holding a small reading and sharing event, which was a place where any movement would attract everyone's attention, so if someone threatened her, someone would help call the police and stop it. After seeing her enter the café, I ran quickly down the main street, then turned two corners, stopped in a small alley, looked left and right, lifted a manhole cover, and descended the ladder to the bottom of the well. I bit the mini flashlight in my mouth and stood on the ladder to restore the manhole cover to its original shape and lock it inside. It's an abandoned drainage manhole cover and a gateway to our secret base. It ends in a treasure trove of rich resources, and all the secrets of the city are hidden at the end of this passage. After I reached the bottom of the well, Xiaozhi also awakened.
"Why are you here?" She asked me, "I don't need to be here for anything in the crematorium, right?" There was a hint of anger in her voice in addition to questioning. You said you were going to tell me the truth. ”
"It's not the time yet." I said impatiently as I walked.
"What the hell are you hiding from me?" Xiaozhi's voice was a little hysterical, and it looked even more terrifying and weird in the silent underground passage.
I'm not going to answer her, this secret passage was first discovered by Ban Que and Xiaozhi, when the two of them went to investigate a case of entrusting an extramarital affair, because the strength of the person being investigated was relatively large, the two of them were found and chased to this dead end. In order to avoid pursuit, the two discussed opening the manhole cover and entering the drainage channel, trying to evacuate from the ground. As a result, the escape provided the two of them with another secret resource as important as their hearts - the underground database of the black entertainment company.
The old drainage pipe of the black company is connected to the outside drainage pipe, but after the renovation, or the whole demolition of the original old building, after the new building, the drainage channel has also been rearized, and the old waterway has also been abandoned, but it leads to the underground warehouse of his new building. This warehouse is used to store some expired or useless materials, but it is really important to find some old materials when investigating cases. Because it's a bit of a trivial matter, there's no one really managing it except for the occasional patrol. And it became a paradise for us. Even if it is an old information, but after reasonable speculation, it is still possible to unearth new information and pose a new threat to our clients, so as to achieve their ultimate goal through threats and intimidation. Although Xiaozhi was a little disgusted with such an approach, at the request of her brother Ban Que and her own erratic thoughts. She still often uses the information here to do things that he doesn't want to do. But usually, he rarely secretly reads other people's information except for cleaning the passages. She knew she didn't have any right to read someone else's past in order to find the conditions for blackmail. And she often comes here because for a long time, this is the secret base of her and Ban Que, if you ignore the occasional Wei Kai who comes here to make trouble. (Actually, it is confirmed that Xiaozhi is in the situation)
Xiaozhi knew that I was here for information, and he must be dissatisfied with the fact that I was going to snoop on other people's privacy. But now she can't seem to break through the barrier of my simple spiritual world, and can only yell at me, trying to find out what I'm hiding.
"I'll tell you when it's time to tell you, but please shut up now." I was a little impatient, partly because I was genuinely bored with her chattering circle, and partly because I saw what seemed to be a familiar figure at the end of the passage. (To be continued.) )
