Chapter 34: Self-Doubt
After thinking about the next plan of action at home, Zhao Xiong left home again and went to a random stall in a nearby night market to buy two black suits and a black backpack with different styles.
After buying clothes, Zhao Xiong drove home, put two clothes in his backpack and went out again, but this time he didn't drive, but deliberately walked along the dark street to take a taxi, of course, Zhao Xiong also deliberately disguised, wearing a peaked cap on his head, and still having a mask on his face, but he didn't wear big sunglasses anymore, after all, wearing sunglasses at night can't attract people's attention.
In addition to the camouflage on his head, Zhao Xiong wore an extra coat on his upper body, and at the same time deliberately bent his waist when walking, after all, wearing so many clothes, others can't see it if he bends his waist without looking closely, so the main thing is to make Zhao Xiong's own height shorter.
After this disguise, Zhao Xiong's height was reduced to 1.8 meters for himself.
Zhao Xiong's shoes look no different from ordinary sneakers, but in fact, the inner sole is very thin, but the material of the sole is very good, this kind of shoes is specially designed, and only Zhao Xiong's family is wearing it themselves.
This is where this comes in handy.
After stopping a taxi, Zhao Xiong took a place near Hu Sen's residence and got down, and then went to the previous public toilet to change into clothes bought from the stall, and after re-dressing, Zhao Xiong came out of the public toilet and squatted against the dark wall to the place where he had observed before, where it was just opposite the exit of Hu Sen's residence building.
At night, the security of the building is generally the responsibility of the building security, and the administrator is not on the night shift very much, and if there is, it is also in shifts.
When he went to the building just now, the thin old man was at work, and the fat old man who was a temporary substitute when he came for the first time was working during the day, so Zhao Xiong guessed that the thin old man should have to go home to rest late at night.
If this person came out of the building before twelve o'clock, then Zhao Xiong naturally acted according to the original plan, if he didn't come out after twelve o'clock, then Zhao Xiong could only take the initiative to go in and see what the situation was before making a decision, anyway, tonight's plan must achieve the most basic purpose - to find out if the thin old man has seen Ke'er!
When Zhao Xiong returned to the best observation point at the entrance of Hu Sen's residence building again, the time had already come to about eleven o'clock in the evening, and the time was flowing second by second, and when Zhao Xiong raised his hand again to look at the time, it was already eleven or forty o'clock.
Although he squatted for forty minutes, Zhao Xiong did not feel impatient at this time, on the contrary, Zhao Xiong was very calm at this time, his eyes kept staring at the door of the building opposite, Zhao Xiong in the past would never be able to do this now, but at this time, he was extremely adaptable to this rhythm, which Zhao Xiong himself did not notice at this time.
At eleven fifty o'clock, Zhao Xiong's eyes, who had been calmly staring at the door of the building opposite, suddenly narrowed, and at this time, the thin old man appeared in his sight.
"It seems that buddy guessed correctly!" Seeing the old man come out, Zhao Xiong couldn't help but smile on his face.
The old man didn't use any means of transportation, but turned straight to the right after leaving the building, and looking at him like this, it was obvious that the old man lived in this neighborhood.
After the old man left the building about two hundred meters, Zhao Xiong followed, also against the dark wall.
At this time, although there are street lights on the road on Hong Kong Island late at night, there are not many, the light is dim after all, and there are not many pedestrians on the road.
This point in time is the rest time for normal people, and the night owl officially starts the alternating node of nightlife, and the cars and pedestrians on the road can be said to be the least time of the day.
The reason why Zhao Xiong set the time for himself was twelve o'clock in the evening was also for this reason.
Zhao Xiong's steps were very light, and the thin old man didn't notice it, but looking at the pace of the other party's walking, he was obviously thinking about things in his heart, the normal old man's walking was not the way the old man walked at this time, the old man walked a little slowly, and it didn't look like there was a problem with his feet.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiong was patient, and the old man walked slowly, and he followed slowly.
Finally, when the old man walked to a narrow alley position, Zhao Xiong's footsteps suddenly accelerated, and when the old man reacted and wanted to turn his head to look, he directly hit the old man at the back of the neck, and after this blow, the old man directly lost consciousness and passed out.
Zhao Xiong also directly caught the old man's soft body at this time, and then immediately picked him up and walked into the narrow alley.
It is said to be a narrow alley, in fact, it is a place where nearby residents used to dump garbage, but I don't know what the reason is, this place was not dumped at this time, just piled up some sundries, the alley to the end of the alley, it is only about three meters long, as for the width, it is only about two meters.
This place was also discovered by Zhao Xiong by accident tonight, which would come in handy.
After placing the old man's body and leaning against the wall, Zhao Xiong first confirmed the other party's vital signs at this time, and only then did he relax after feeling that the other party still had a heartbeat.
Although the strength of the hand knife just now was deliberately controlled, this old man was not young after all, and the strength was really difficult to control, and he might want his life in minutes.
After confirming that the other party had vital signs, Zhao Xiong also immediately took out the small bottle of amnestics that had been exchanged at home from the storage space of the system.
Why did Zhao Xiong say that the amnestics rewarded by the system were deliberately ambushed, that is, this time the task released by the system was on the last level of the thin old man, and if Zhao Xiong didn't want to kill people, he could only use amnestics.
Only by using amnestics can Zhao Xiong know if the old man has seen Ke'er, and if he does, he will naturally delete it, and if not, he can rest assured!
No wonder the system said before that the more people in the human race know about things, the faster they die, if there is no amnestic, the thin old man, if you want to be absolutely safe, killing the mouth is the only choice!
After all, it is always the dead who can keep the secret!
Although it is very distressing to spend 500 points, but this is an innocent life after all, even if this life does not have many years to live, but after all, it is still alive, Zhao Xiong does not want to kill for no reason, so these 500 points can only be spent.
opened the lid of the small transparent medicine bottle in his hand, and poured all the transparent liquid inside into the old man's mouth, and soon, the liquid disappeared, and the memory picture in the old mind also appeared in Zhao Xiong's mind.
In the old man's memory, Zhao Xiong really saw the picture of Ke'er, this old man, sure enough, he had seen Ke'er, through the system, Zhao Xiong deleted all the pictures about Ke'er in the old man's mind.
After deleting the memories about Ke'er, Zhao Xiong was about to end here, but seeing the memories of his son in his old mind, Zhao Xiong suddenly hesitated.
The old man's original name was Chen Quan, not a native of Hong Kong Island, but fled to Hong Kong Island during the war years, his ancestral home is in the mainland, the old man has no ability in his life, and the only pride is his only son.
It's just that the only pride in his life died in a car accident not long ago, which is a complete blow to Chen Quan, from Chen Quan's mental memory, Zhao Xiong clearly saw that Chen Quan had many thoughts of suicide, but in the end he was pulled back by a wrinkled old woman's face and two lovely young faces.
Through memory, Zhao Xiong knew that this was Chen Quan's wife and two grandsons.
"The system, completely erasing part of the memory in a person's brain, will it have any bad impact on the person's brain in the future?" Looking at these memory pictures in Chen Quan's mind, Zhao Xiong still asked the system.
"I know what you think, deleting all the memories of his son in Chen Quan's mind will have no impact on his life in the future, even if he goes to a psychiatrist, he can only get an answer to 'selective amnesia' in the end.
However, after all, human memory is rooted in the depths of the soul, even if a certain memory is permanently deleted, there will be a feeling of emptiness in the heart, which is the 'regret' that you human beings often talk about!
Other than that, it doesn't have any other effect! "The system did not drop the chain this time, and explained the situation very clearly to Zhao Xiong.
"Then delete all the memories of his son in Chen Quan's mind, although this is indeed a pity for him, but at least, in the short years he has left, at least he can live more easily, which can be regarded as my compensation for him!" After listening to the system's explanation, Zhao Xiong finally decided to delete the memory of Chen Quan's son, Chen Quan is old, and in the sixty or seventy years he has lived, two-thirds of the time he has spent worrying about his son, and he should live an easier life with little time left!
"All memories of his son in Chen Quan's mind have been deleted, please set the time for Chen Quan to wake up."
"Five minutes later!" After operating all this, Zhao Xiong moved Chen Quan out of the narrow alley, and then let him stand against the wall, and after making sure that the other party would not fall down after letting go, Zhao Xiong quickly ran to the opposite dark wall and stood there.
Soon, Chen Quan woke up, he was a little confused at first, and stayed in place for about two minutes before walking in the previous direction again.
Zhao Xiong continued to follow, and did not leave until he saw him open the door of a room with a key.
Later, Zhao Xiong went to the public toilet to change the clothes sold at the stall the next day, and finally went around a few times before taking a taxi back to his house again.
After returning home, Zhao Xiong put all the things he used today into the washing machine and washed them several times, and finally cut them with scissors with gloves, and some of the shredded pieces of cloth were put into several garbage bags, and the mixed garbage was sent to the garbage disposal station tomorrow.
The remaining pieces will be sent away as garbage in new garbage bags several times.
Zhao Xiong also wanted to burn the clothes directly, but the smell of burning the clothes was too great, and it was easier to get into trouble, so he could only choose to cut the clothes.
By the time this was done, the time had come to three o'clock in the morning, and Zhao Xiong had already fallen into a deep sleep at this time in the past, but at this time, he couldn't sleep!
Zhao Xiong was lying on the bed in a large shape, his eyes were looking at the white ceiling, he wanted not to think about anything in his head, but the more he did this, the more things he thought!
Today, Angel died, and tonight, the last step of Chen Quan's memory about Ke'er was also deleted, and this time the system task has basically been completed!
It stands to reason that Zhao Xiong should be happy at this time, but Zhao Xiong can't be happy at this time.
He was recalling his behavior these days, recalling how decisive and calm he was when he took action against Chen Quan tonight!
This is not what he could have done before!
He has never done these things before, but tonight, he did all this skillfully and calmly, which is not something that the fat man Hong Sheng in the previous life can do, nor can he do it in this life, the rich and handsome Zhao Xiong!
The more he thought about it, the more Zhao Xiong fell into deep self-doubt......
