35. The pineapple incident
When I mentioned the underground prison again, Zhuang Yuqing was not surprised at all, it was obvious that she already knew that I had been to the underground prison, so I had seen Xiao Congyun, did she know?
I said, "You don't seem surprised at all, when I mention the underground prison. ”
Zhuang Yuqing just looked at me and smiled, but didn't answer my words, she said: "The murderer wants to kill the survivors of the one hundred and twenty-one people back then. ”
I have had this speculation for a long time, but there has never been a reason why the murderer killed them, so I asked: "How many of these 121 people survived?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing shook her head, she said, "I don't know." ”
I was a little surprised, and I asked, "Don't know?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "We are divided into a total of eleven teams, one team for each eleven people, you have been to the underground prison, you should know the structure of this prison, everyone is held alone, and the activities are carried out in the form of squads, no one knows what the activities carried out by other squads are, because the activities between squads and squads are confidential." ”
When I heard this, I felt a little weird, and I asked, "Who are you in your team, and what are the activities you do?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "In my team, only I survived, and the others died, and later I found out that only one person in each team survived, so I guessed that only eleven of the last 121 people survived." ”
I seemed to think of something, and I said, "Eleven, one person in each squad, all the activities carried out by the whole event, have you eleven ever met?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing shook his head, and he said: "We haven't seen each other since we left the underground prison, and what I told you is also something I only realized recently, because the target of the murderer is the eleven people we survived." ”
I said, "Then the murderer's purpose is obvious, he doesn't want you to piece together the activities that were carried out back then, only to kill all of you, then this incident is completely hidden, isn't it?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "It stands to reason that this is the case. ”
I said, "Then the more people who die, the more difficult it will be for this event to be pieced together, so the most important question now is, how many people did he kill, and how many of these eleven people survived?" ”
I did a rough calculation, and the people I know so far are Team Fan, Bai Chong, Zhuang Yuqing, Team Nie, Shi Bing, Zhang Ziang, my current adoptive father He Zhuo, and Duan Jiaming, plus Xiao Congyun, who has died, a total of nine, so who are the other two people?
Who knew that I only said Zhang Ziang's name, Zhuang Yuqing said: "Zhang Ziang is not one of the eleven people, there is still one person in his team who survives." ”
I was a little surprised, and I asked, "Who is it?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "Xiao Congyun. ”
I took a breath, it turned out to be him, but when I heard this answer, I also had a strange feeling in my heart, I don't know where this weirdness came from, it seemed to be related to what I was experiencing now, and it seemed to be related to the whole butterfly corpse case, because even though I had seen the content of the oil cloth painting, I still couldn't understand the meaning of the butterfly corpse case, and this pineapple corpse painting was obviously closely related to this matter.
I asked, "Why, why did two people survive this squad?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "I don't know, I heard that Zhang Ziang escaped from the underground prison and escaped before the others were killed, but how he escaped has always been a mystery. ”
I felt that there was no reasonable explanation for the incident involving Zhang Ziang, so I stopped asking this question further, but asked another question: "So if this is the case, who is going to kill you eleven people?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "I suspect that this person is the one who survived among the 121 people that year. ”
I said, "If you exclude Zhang Ziang, there are currently eight known people, and then there are three people unknown, do you mean that the murderer is one of these three people?" Or is it one of the twelve? ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "I thought the same way before, but now I feel that maybe how many of those 121 people died back then is still a mystery, after all, our inferences about the eleven survivors are all based on speculation, and there is no real evidence, and we have not even found evidence that these people have died, so ......"
I said, "So, you suspect that there are other survivors in these one hundred and twenty-one people, and it is the survivors among them who are killing the survivors, but it doesn't make sense, he is also a survivor, why did he kill the other survivors, and what did you one hundred and twenty-one people do, and why did you gather in the underground prison?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "I can't answer your question at all, because this itself is also the answer I am looking for." ”
I looked at her and said: "You lied to me, since you appeared in Team Nie's office, it means that you and Team Nie are connected, and it is no coincidence that Bai Chong and Team Nie are in a police station, plus Bai Chong and Shi Bing have always been in contact, and several of you have actually exchanged information a long time ago, and in this way, at least half of the events of the year have been pieced together, right?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing shook her head, she said: "We haven't met, and although we know each other's existence, we are both jealous, and even more afraid to tell the truth back then." ”
I asked, "Why?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "You should have heard of the vanished. ”
I took a breath of relief, and the name was again, and I nodded and said, "I did." ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "Just like the two Xiao Congyun we see now, which one is real?" ”
I said, "It's true that he didn't have lung cancer, because I saw him in the underground prison and he ......."
When I said this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, because there was a contradiction between this statement and my previous speculation, that is, the consensus reached between me and Zhang Ziang that the serial murder case was created to cover up Xiao Congyun's death, and if the real Xiao Congyun was the one in the underground prison, then that is to say, the one who died in Fang Ming's house was fake, so why should a fake person cover up his death, it doesn't make sense.
Then I realized that Zhuang Yuqing's question was not asked casually, and I said, "Could it be that Xiao Congyun I saw in the underground prison is fake?!" ”
I couldn't believe that such a realistic person, and even his appearance, had lived there for so long, and it turned out to be fake.
Zhuang Yuqing knew my doubts, she said: "So there is a lot of truth in front of me, I am also looking for the truth, and even I want to know what happened to me, why am I different from others, because this mark, no one else has it, only I have it, why is this?" ”
I asked, "How do you know if the others don't?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "I told me by a person after I woke up in a coma, and now it can be said that this person I woke up and met after I survived said it to me." ”
I asked, "Who did you meet?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said, "Mr. Yin." ”
I lost my voice: "Mr. Silver! ”
Zhuang Yuqing was not surprised that I knew the existence of this person, she just said: "As I guessed, you have seen him." ”
I asked, "Who is Mr. Silver?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "I don't know, because it was the first time I saw him, and he told me that this mark on my arm was the reason why I survived, and only I had this mark on my body." ”
I am here, it seems that I have heard a different statement, because according to Xiao Congyun's words in the underground prison, Mr. Yin seems to be the organizer of the one hundred and twenty-one people in the underground prison, but now Zhuang Yuqing said that she has not seen Mr. Yin before, so who is true of the words of the two people, combined with the contradictions of Xiao Congyun before, I prefer to believe Zhuang Yuqing's words.
But I still asked, "So could he be the murderer?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing groaned, and he said, "Mr. Yin is not one of the one hundred and twenty-one people, it shouldn't be. ”
Instead, I thought it was strange and asked, "Why are you so sure?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "I can't tell, I have a very special feeling, but I can't describe it, these strangeness seems to come from Mr. Yin." ”
I couldn't help frowning when I heard what she said, and I asked, "Then did you see him again later?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "No." ”
I asked, "And when you were in the underground prison, what were the activities of your squad?" ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "We went to a village. ”
I asked, "A village?" What village? ”
Zhuang Yuqing said: "A village built deep in the mountains, but strangely there is no one, so we go to live in the houses in this village, and each person lives in one room, and the whole village has exactly twelve rooms, just one vacant. ”
Hearing her say this, I was almost certain that she was talking about the strange village that Zhang Ziang and I had visited, and it was there that we first saw the unbelievable toad corpse. At this time, I finally began to understand why Zhang Ziang and I went to this strange village, it turned out that it was all due to the reason.
I asked, "What about next, what are you doing there?" ”
