71. Dead man-1
The next day the whole village was as if nothing had happened, the silence was terrifying, and I found that the old man who was at the entrance of the village when I entered the village yesterday was also gone, and there was hardly a person in the whole village. ”
Zhang Ziang said: "If you look at the houses around you, do you think anyone lives here? ”
I looked around the village, but it was not quite the same as what I had seen at dusk yesterday, maybe I wasn't paying attention, or maybe it was some other reason, and I said, "How does it look like a completely abandoned village?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "I agree with your statement, I also think that this place should be abandoned for a long time, as for the people you met yesterday......"
When Zhang Ziang said this, he didn't continue, he paused, I saw him hesitate, I didn't know what he was thinking, so I asked him, "What did you think of?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "I think these people have long known our whereabouts and know that we are coming here, so they got here before us, but it seems that there is something that makes no sense." ”
I listened to Zhang Ziang's fragmentary language, just looked at him and asked, "Then who are these people, the murderers who created the case?" ”
Zhang Ziang frowned, he didn't answer directly, but said: "These people give me the feeling that they are like the people who led me to Suzhou City, which is the reason why I told you why I came to Suzhou City." ”
I was shocked: "Who are those people?" ”
If you say this, it seems that these people have no direct connection with the serial murders, and these people have completely disappeared after leading Zhang Ziang to find the orphanage where he grew up, but why are they in this place now, so who are these people?
I fell into deep thought, and I didn't seem to understand Zhang Ziang's expression, so I asked him, "Do you know who these people are, or what their purpose is?" ”
Zhang Ziang's expression changed, I had never seen him with such a look before, as if he was confused, hesitant, hesitant, anyway, it was a very complicated look, I saw his look like this, and asked him: "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Ziang quickly returned to normal, saying: "I began to understand why I met you every time I had a problem. ”
Zhang Ziang suddenly said this, which made me stunned for a moment, and I asked, "Why?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "Because the answer I am looking for is related to you. ”
Hearing Zhang Ziang say this, I couldn't speak, and I obviously felt that the mysteries on my body were all related to Zhang Ziang, but if you want me to say something, I can't say it, this is a very strange feeling, so I looked at Zhang Ziang, Zhang Ziang said: "This is why these people are obviously the people who led me to Sioux City, but they have such a deep connection with you, and even they are related to the corpse case back then." ”
The reason why Zhang Ziang has such a guess is because He Baihua appeared last night, and now it can be basically determined that the wax corpse was designed by He Baihua back then, but there are more details and the beginning and end of it, I am afraid that I still have to ask He Baihua in person to make it clear, including why he made such a wax corpse case back then, and he used the corpses of all his relatives to make such a case.
I felt that a lot of clues were intertwined again, like a hurry, through a fork in the road, followed by more forks in the road, one after another, like an endless stream of mysteries in front of me, the further I went, the more mysteries there were, the more forks in the road intertwined, and the answers became more and more complicated.
I said, "So does this matter have anything to do with Tiger Hill?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "I think Tiger Hill is the answer to the next clue. ”
So after that, Zhang Ziang and I went to Tiger Hill.
I always thought that Tiger Hill was a hillside-like place, and Zhang Ziang described to me that this was the cemetery of the village, so I added in my mind that there was a grave on a hill, but who knew that when I got there, it was not at all the same as I thought.
Tiger Hill is an abandoned farmland, in the middle of the farmland, there is a three-story stone house, it looks like it is some years old, but there is no trace of a grave in the whole farmland.
I then looked at Zhang Ziang, and I asked him, "Have you been here before?" ”
Zhang Ziang glanced at me, nodded for a while, I became curious, and I asked him, "What are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "I don't know, I was young at that time, I remember this stone house, I also went inside. ”
Zhang Ziang and I were walking in the wasteland, and I asked him, "What's in that house?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "There is a person. ”
I asked, "Alone?" Who? ”
Zhang Ziang stopped and looked at me, then at the white house and said, "You." ”
I was stunned for a moment by Zhang Ziang's words, Zhang Ziang saw my incredible expression, he said: "I know that the child is you, although I am not sure, and there is no evidence, but when I saw you during the headless corpse case, I knew that the child I saw in the white stone house was you, because the first time I met the headless corpse case, the way you looked at me was exactly the same as when I saw you in the stone house." ”
And I don't have any memory of what Zhang Ziang said, I said: "I came here when I was a child? Why am I not impressed at all? ”
Zhang Ziang said: "I am basically certain now that your memories have been artificially modified, maybe because of hypnosis, or because of something else, many memories you have gone, and have been replaced with other memories, and even sometimes, I feel as if there is another person's memory in your mind." ”
I asked, "Another person's memory?" Who is it for? ”
Zhang Ziang said: "I don't know, but I feel very familiar, it seems to be the memory of a person I know, because sometimes you give me a familiar and very strange feeling, this feeling is very strange, like an acquaintance I have forgotten suddenly appears for a moment, which makes me feel lost sometimes, because I seem to feel that I have also lost any memory, just like you." ”
When Zhang Ziang said this, I was a little inexplicably frightened, and I asked, "Then when you saw me in the stone house, how old I was and what I was doing in it?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "You should be about four years old, and you are sitting on the stone steps inside the stone house, and I remember you are holding a strange thing in your hand. ”
I mused, "Four? Something strange in your hand? What is it? ”
Zhang Ziang thought about it seriously, and he said: "The first time I saw this kind of thing, it doesn't seem to be a toy, it's hard to describe, it's like a mirror, but the front and back are like transparent glass, more like a magnifying glass the size of a palm, without any handle and frame, you just hold it in your hand and look at something, and I seem to see that one side of it is like a mirror, and you are talking to yourself in the mirror." ”
The more Zhang Ziang said it, the more outrageous it became, and I couldn't even believe it, so I asked him, "Are you joking with me or are you telling the truth?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "What I tell you is what I see. ”
I asked, "And what about later?" ”
Saying that we had arrived at the stone house, he and I stopped, Zhang Ziang did not continue, but stood in front of the food, I saw a symbol on the door of the stone house, and when I saw it, I was really shocked, I said, "How can it be this symbol?" ”
This is the mysterious symbol I have seen before, and I find it incredible, many things that are not related to each other are connected by such a strange and mysterious pattern, and this symbol is connecting many things little by little.
I pointed to the symbol on the door and asked Zhang Ziang, "Have you seen this symbol before?" ”
Zhang Ziang said: "When I came here before, I didn't pay attention to this symbol, and I have no impression of it. ”
