Chapter 1 The Strange Wife
"Are you saying that the woman who lives with you now is not your wife, although she looks exactly like your wife, her figure, waist circumference, shoe size, and even her birthmark?"
I dragged my chin with my hands and fell into deep thought; On the sofa across the table, there was a fat and bloated middle-aged man sitting, he looked panicked, stretched out his hand from time to time to wipe the sweat dripping from his forehead, and looked back nervously, as if he was afraid that someone would suddenly appear outside the door.
My name is Zhou Chong, I graduated from Nandu Guard University, and I used to be an honorable special security officer, but for some reason I was imprisoned.
After I was released from prison, I searched for countless positions and interviewed for countless positions, but when the interviewer saw the 'criminal record' column on the resume, he immediately frowned like a plague god and waved me away.
Forced to make a living, I rented a shop at the end of an old alley and opened a private office. As the number one soldier of the Guard University, I think the professional level of skills such as searching for people and corpses, commercial lurking, forensics and finding, and background investigation, I think it is second, and there is no one in the whole South who dares to recognize the first.
But what I didn't expect was that the first client that the firm welcomed made me feel extremely tricky.
The bloated man who claimed to be Boss Li had a gloomy face and was about to drip water, and I could feel his voice trembling: "Yes, although that woman is carefully dressed as my wife, under the skin, it is completely another person's soul, as if it were ...... It's like a stranger living with me in my wife's human skin! My wife must be hidden somewhere by her, please help me. ”
"Physically identical but with a changed personality, could it be that your wife has amnesia, is mentally stimulated or hit by a foreign body in her brain?"
It was the most plausible answer I could come up with, but with my husband's horrified expression, it would never be so simple.
"No, by no means amnesia!" Boss Li's pupils shrank: "A few days ago, I had a fight with my wife, and since then, she has become less talkative, and I didn't take it seriously at first, but after a long time, I always feel that she is a little different from before, but where is the difference, I can't say." ”
"Until that day, the teacher assigned my son a homework for primary school Chinese dictation, and asked the parents to sign it, and I couldn't get rid of it at that time, so I asked my wife to sign it for him. My son was standing by and watching her sign, and suddenly he said a word......"
He said, "Mom, aren't you left-handed?" How did you switch to holding a pen in your right hand? ”
Boss Li's face was pale and frightening: "The woman was stunned for a long time, and after being stunned for a long time, she jumped up from the stool as if she had been stung by a scorpion, screamed and rushed into the bedroom, and locked the door. No matter how much we knock on the door, we shouldn't. Tell me, how can a person who has been writing with his left hand for decades suddenly use his right hand? ”
The more adults they are, the stronger their dependence on their dominant hands, and Boss Li's suspicions are not unfounded.
"It was this incident that made me suspicious, and from then on I watched her every move more and more carefully, until, until that night......"
"It was about three or four o'clock in the morning, I woke up with urine and found that there was nothing around me, I was startled and got up to look for the woman's traces."
But when I looked up, I saw this scene: the woman was sitting alone in front of the dresser and looking in the mirror at night when she couldn't see her fingers! While stroking his face, he whispered. ”
"What did you say?" My eyes widened and I couldn't help but ask.
"My good sister, I haven't seen you for so many years, and your face is still so beautiful. But only I know how ugly the soul is under this beautiful face. I want you to watch everything that belongs to you be taken away by me, just as you once took everything from me......"
The fan swing of the air conditioner happened to be at this time, and it made a cold clicking sound. When I heard it, it was like a cold woman, lying in my ear and talking.
On a hot day, I got goosebumps.
"Could it be that your wife has an identical twin sister? Your wife did things to her in the first place, and now she is pretending to be your wife to get revenge? I frowned and made this ridiculous assumption.
"I don't know." Boss Li had a bitter face: "My wife grew up in an orphanage, and her childhood was very bleak, even if she inadvertently mentioned her past experiences, she would be angry with me." That's why I rarely ask, and she never asks about it. Even if she really had a twin sister, she wouldn't tell me. ”
Boss Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his tone became solemn: "Mr. Zhou, I won't tell you, after I found out that my wife had a problem, I asked a friend to investigate the surveillance video near my home, as well as my wife's mobile phone, car navigation and other things that can be investigated, and I really found a little clue." ”
As he spoke, Boss Li handed over a crumpled photo: "About a month ago, a phone with a hidden calling address called my wife's mobile phone, and the call lasted less than a minute. Not long afterward, the car navigation recorder showed that she drove to the location and stayed there until late before returning. I suspect that it was at that time that my wife was dropped. ”
I glanced at the photo, and I could see that it was a video taken from a dash cam, the pixels were a little blurry, and I could faintly see that it was an abandoned factory, desolate with a little gloomy, most of the factory was hidden in the shadows, like a dormant beast, ready to burst out and hurt people at any time.
There is a deck of labels hanging vertically on the left side of the doorway.
The former site of Dasheng Textile Factory in Jile Village, a northern suburb of Nandu.
I was slightly stunned.
In the northern suburbs of the southern capital, the mountains are continuous, the yin qi is very heavy, many famous battles in ancient times took place there, and the corpses of the dead are buried at the foot of the mountain, and the tombstones that are tilted and broken can be seen everywhere like weeds after the rain. Looking at it from a distance on a summer night, there are blue ghost fires on both sides of the road, like a road to the netherworld.
And that place is very evil, it rains twice in three days, the roads are muddy, and the car is easy to get stuck in and can't get out. In order to solve this problem, the city specially built a cement road, but I don't know whether the construction person in charge of the heart is too dark or other problems, the cement road was repaired within two days of a large area of cracks, and finally became more difficult than before the repair, except for a round-trip bus every day, there is no shadow of people on the road at all.
It doesn't make sense for a woman to drive to that kind of place for no reason.
"You don't feel right, do you?" Boss Li sighed: "To tell you, I went to the northern suburbs some time ago to see if my wife was in that factory." But I went to the village of bliss and asked...... And guess what? ”
"The villagers told me that the Dasheng Textile Factory closed down more than ten years ago, not to mention people, there is not even a ghost in it. I asked for the address and hurriedly drove over, the gate was exactly the same as in the photo, the outside of the courtyard wall was full of ash and cobwebs, and the house was dilapidated, indeed like a dilapidated building that had been abandoned for many years. ”
"The gate was locked with a broken lock, rusty; I didn't tear it off a few times, and I didn't have the time to go back to the village to find a lock picking tool, so I jumped into the car and stepped on the accelerator, and smashed the factory door open with the front of the car. ”
"Then I went from factory to factory and looked for it, but each one was almost empty, except for a few large buckets of paint in a warehouse-like room. I didn't even let it go, and deliberately stirred it with a stick, but there was nothing foreign in it. Just as I was about to leave, behind the warehouse gate, I spotted this thing. ”
Boss Li took out something from his arms and placed it on the table preciously, and when I looked at it, it was a red handkerchief with a rose pattern inlaid with needle and thread in the center.
I took the handkerchief, took it in my hand and looked at it, the edge of the handkerchief was stained with some white lime powder in addition to some residual dust, I twisted some powder and put it on the tip of my nose and smelled it, my face suddenly changed, I just wanted to say something, but Boss Li's words interrupted.
"This handkerchief was a gift from my wife when she left the orphanage, and she has been carrying it with her for so many years, and she won't even let me touch it."
"The handkerchief was thrown to the ground, and my wife, my wife, she probably had something to do! Mr. Zhou, please help me find my wife, even if it is ...... Even if I find her body, I can send the beast disguised as my wife to prison. ”
Boss Li couldn't cry.
Half an hour later, I watched Boss Li leave, with three things on the table, a red handkerchief, a photo of the old site of the Dasheng Textile Factory, a hand-drawn route map drawn by Boss Li on the back, and a bulging cowhide envelope containing the 30,000 yuan paid by Boss Li in advance.
People like me, who are poor and afraid, usually can't sleep for a few days when they see these 30,000 yuan, but now I only feel that this money is heavy.
The lover who shares the bed with you, under the skin, is a strange soul colder than a poisonous snake, is there anything more terrifying in the world?
Jingle bell bell bell.
The phone at hand rang.
"Hello, Zhou Chong's private office, professionally handle all your problems, what difficulties do you want to solve?"
"I'm stuck, I can't move, it's so uncomfortable."
On the other side of the phone, it was a young woman's voice, which sounded very gentle, but the signal was not good, and a strong current could be heard.
"Miss, don't worry, I provide door-to-door unlocking, emergency rescue services, on call, to ensure efficiency, please tell me your specific location."
"I'm inside the wall in front of you, ten years ago, someone killed me and sealed the body in the cement, please help me turn over, my back is so itchy......"
