Chapter 227: The Eternal Heart Hidden in the Shadows V
Back in time to December 30th, inside the secret passage of the brown tower
When there was only 'Yan Muheng' left alone in the dark secret passage, he squatted down and began to check the condition of the girl's 'corpse' on the ground, this was originally a 'corpse' that had not yet died, not the hand of 'Yan Muheng', but he knew that this little girl had nothing to do with the past of the treacherous house.
The more unrelated people are, the easier it is to be taken advantage of! Especially during the period when the criminal police and detectives are trying to find out the secrets of this house, the murderer will also seize the time to act, after all, this is related to wealth and future, and it must not be handed over.
Looking at the girl's prostrate body, 'Yan Muheng' remembered the past, which was his indescribable and sad childhood.
The name of the person on the ground was Meng Qi'er, and when she arrived at the treacherous house on the first day, until now, Yan Muheng had only seen her once in the restaurant, so youthful and lively, although she was a little willful, it didn't feel as boring as his companions said.
Reaching out and stroking the girl's hair clinging to the back of her head, the jet-black hair was soft to the touch, and there seemed to be a flash of crystal under Yan Muheng's lowered eyes. Back then, you had such a lively and beautiful girl, locked up in this house, and became a cash cow for those who did not work hard.
These children, these children who came over 15 years ago, have long lost their real sense of home, and they don't know where their roots are? Don't even know who your real parents are?
Thinking of these, 'Yan Muheng' is always sad, for horror, Shu Xue, and for Xixi and Meng Qier.
'Yan Muheng' was a little scared, since he returned to this home, his other self in the dark forest has become more and more restless, he could have quietly protected Xixi outdoors, not involved in anything in this house, he could have really helped the criminal police once, and figured out everything An Ze did back then.
Then, he can also get Xiao back, the cook mother-in-law has been Yu Heng's mother for more than 20 years, but Yu Heng is not a person, the past Xiao Xiao doesn't know where to go, and he replaced the role of Xiao Xiao and became Yu Heng.
Everyone always thought that he was willing to accept the constraints brought by this role, but no one knows! He stayed just to find the younger one, to find the love he once had, to find the delicate person who was somewhat similar to Mr. Actor.
'This time, I'm really in trouble, Mr. Butler is dead, and I did something I shouldn't have done because of that guy's control, no matter what, no one can die, I have to take Meng Qi'er out." ’
Having made up his mind in his heart, Yan Muheng wanted to pick up Meng Qi'er's body......
"Xiao Heng, do you know why I followed them to this mountain? I've been eliminated, but I'm going to force a smile and follow them here, do you know why? ”
Just when 'Yan Muheng's hands were about to touch the girl's body, the girl on the ground suddenly spoke. Her voice was clear and powerful, not at all like the speech of a seriously injured person.
Yan Muheng was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the girl was slowly getting up from the ground, and she continued: "A few years ago, I started to have the same dream, and every dream is so real, even more real than real life. In the dream, I saw a small dilapidated home, and a pair of middle-aged men and women with dirty clothes and hands, and they saw that this was a coolie who had been working as a coolie all year round. ”
"At their knees, there was a little girl who stared at me in her dreams, and her eyes did not blink. I thought it was just my own whims. However, as I dreamed more and more, I began to notice that little girl's face, both facial features and face shape, were very similar to my own childhood. ”
"It made me wonder about my origins, even though my parents were very rich, but they worked outside the home all the year round and forced me to move around, and I didn't have much relationship with them at all. Gradually, I became more and more convinced that the little girl in my dream was my relative, and I began to carefully analyze the scenes I saw in my dreams every day, every day. ”
"Thinking starts to give me headaches, and it gets worse and worse, and every time my temples twitch, I can't help but fall asleep, and then I either have long dreams or go into the gloomy dark forest to see another self."
"The other self is really different from reality, she is cold, selfish, and just wants to get out of the dark forest and control my brain forever. So every time, I would argue with him in my dreams, but when she said the words, I had to compromise. ”
"So, I became her more and more often, and as time went on, when she appeared, she would write a message to me in my notebook, and every time she left a message, she would write a little bit about the Strange House, which really made me more and more interested in the Strange House, and I thought, maybe I was also a part of the Strange House. This is the home I have been dreaming of for a long time, with my family company. ”
"So I took this opportunity to propose everyone's Dai Zongshan to play, and I also proposed to take everyone to the halfway up the mountain to see the snow, none of those guys doubted it, it was really ridiculous, obviously they usually disdain me, but now they all trust me so much."
"But I don't have any plans, I just want to see the treacherous house." Meng Qi'er said as she got up from the ground, blood still dripping from under her body, large patches of blood.
What did 'Yan Muheng' suddenly realize? He looked at Meng Qi'er's blood and asked, "You, where did you get these blood stains?" ”
"She gave it to me......" Meng Qi'er said.
"Who gave it to you? Where was it given to you? Is it the blood of those chickens in restaurants? ”
However, there were too many questions, and Meng Qi'er didn't have time to answer, because things suddenly changed at this time, not only 'Yan Muheng' didn't expect it, but even Meng Qi'er herself didn't expect that she was about to become a real corpse and a tool used by someone to frame the criminal police.
——
The reason why Yan Muheng and Shu Xue mentioned here have to use single quotation marks is because they are not only the people who exist in front of us, but also the people who have been hiding in the shadows of the dark forest. Including Meng Qier and Xixi, these young people who came from the periphery to the treacherous house as guests all have their own sad memories and are seeking their own truth.
Also, say something off topic. In the murderer's elaborate murder plan, he himself has no way to appear in place of many people, and sometimes it means that he cannot kill all the people with his own hands. However, deception and exploitation can solve these problems.
The difficulty lies in what methods are used to deceive and exploit? For what purpose? What kind of results do you want?
If the murderer wants to kill with a knife, then he has to desperately find a way to arouse hatred, jealousy, greed, and all other bad emotions in people's hearts. If the murderer does not want to kill with a knife, but just wants to disconnect the trust between the target, then what he has to do is more time-consuming, laborious and risky.
Here, I'm just going to say it briefly. The so-called existence is often parallel to non-existence; The so-called substitution can be divided into two types: the first is to achieve conversion through oneself, which most of the time depends on whether the murderer's deception is skillful? It will also depend on some special circumstances of the target itself.
The second is the conversion between the murderer and the target, this substitution, when it is not necessary, the real murderer will not choose to use, because it will make the murderer appear frequently in front of the detective's eyes. And the more the killer appears, the more flaws will be revealed. Again, man is not God, and no matter how smart a person is, you can't expect him to be perfect.
The best conversion between sales and goals, you are the most perfect substitute, is the so-called 'throwing the ball', you can imagine that when humans and pets play together, humans will throw the rubber ball, let the pet pick it up, and finally the ball will naturally return to their hands. This ball is sin, and pets are the channel of deception, what about human beings themselves? When the black shadow in the body leaves smoothly, it will become the 'murderer' who is sent to the gallows at zero hour.
So, although many times, we will use substitution to solve cases, but this substitution is not in the actual sense, the so-called interchange between individuals, or between individuals and multiple people. No, it's definitely not like that. Instead of sometimes as long as it exists in the thinking of the target or the criminal police, it is the best deception to be invisible to be tangible! Isn't it?
——
"Who gave it to you? Where was it given to you? Is it the blood of those chickens in restaurants? ”
'Yan Muheng's question made Meng Qi'er puzzled, she was just about to open her mouth to answer, this man was completely different from what she imagined, he knew those things, why did he ask? Confusion made Meng Qi'er look up at the man with a scar on his face in front of him.
Remembering what someone said to her before, Meng Qi'er raised her hand, wanting to remove the terrible scar and take a look, what is the true face under the scar?
Looking upwards made her ignore the danger below, a bright sharp knife didn't know when to aim at Meng Qi'er's stomach, just when his mobile phone was about to touch 'Yan Muheng''s face, the tip of the knife disappeared like her stomach, making her hand suddenly stay in mid-air, like a freeze-frame photo.
Meng Qi'er's inadvertent words sent the real Yan Muheng back to the dark forest, and now the man in front of her has become a ruthless person who only wants to find his lover and wealth.
When the girl's body slowly bent down, the corners of 'Yan Muheng''s mouth gradually rose upward. He also didn't expect that the control of his body that had been inadvertently taken away would actually return in this situation.
Now, Mr. Criminal Police has rushed to the trap they set, and 'Yan Muheng' must let the injured Meng Qi'er meet him as originally planned, so 'Yan Muheng' patted Meng Qi'er's cheek and deliberately said: "It's impossible for you to see Mr. Criminal Police again, he and his wife will fall into our trap together, the only thing you can do is just wait here to die." ”
After speaking, 'Yan Muheng' stood up, he left the girl who hadn't figured out the truth yet, and walked to the place where the criminal police had just been pulled in, and when the movable wall opened again, 'Yan Muheng' glanced back, Meng Qi'er was lying on the ground, holding her stomach with her hands and moaning in pain.
This knife can't kill her, as long as the little girl is a little stronger, she can go out of the secret passage to find Mr. Criminal Police, perhaps, she will see that 'Shu Xue' is attacking the criminal police, this is the best opportunity to betray Shu Xue, 'Yan Muheng' is sure that the person who provides Meng Qi'er's chicken blood must be 'Shu Xue'.
The criminal police are worried about the mystery of the blood house in the brown tower, but Shu Xue can't get out of it no matter what, maybe she will be temporarily imprisoned by the criminal police as a suspect in the case, which is the result that 'Yan Muheng' wants to see the most.
Listening to the sound of painful moans and the sound of clothes rubbing the ground, 'Yan Muheng' disappeared outside the wall. His body, which had just been in contact with the warm air, suddenly plunged into the cold and frozen outdoors, and he felt like a knife cutting his whole body, but all this had to be endured.
Climbing the frozen hanging ladder rope with both hands, 'Yan Muheng' had already climbed through the only small door of the people above the tower, and he wanted to return to the warm room again and take Yun Yeyao away.
Yun Yeyao, whether it is his appearance or behavior, always reminds him of the person he loved deeply in the past. That person is the only irreplaceable existence in the eyes of 'Yan Muheng', and Yun Yeyao still has some differences with him. Maybe 'Yan Muheng' misses it too much to ignore these differences.
'Yan Muheng' tried to concentrate his mind while climbing upwards, not thinking about the cold and pain all over his body, and his hands and feet moved more and more quickly. Although he doesn't have the force value of Mr. Detective, he is not a weak person compared to ordinary people, and he is confident that he can subdue Yun Yeyao to achieve his goal.
——
The dark passage is constantly stretching forward, and 'Shu Xue' feels that the road to be walked today is particularly long, and her hand finally touched the end of the passage, and when she felt that she could breathe a sigh of relief, the headache spread out like an explosion. Almost every gray brain cell is screaming, expressing unbearable pain.
'Shu Xue' didn't expect that the 'person' hidden in her body would keep fighting back, and now she is in a dilemma. However, she must not be taken away from her consciousness again, so she will do another thing to hurt the criminal police, and she will also call 'Yan Muheng's mind.
Controlling his brain, Shu Xue staggered out of the secret passage of the brown tower, and when he opened the door, there was no wind and snow, only another deeper and longer passage, which did not change except the color of the surrounding walls.
Shu Xue continued to move forward, she first walked into an empty room, and after looking around, she didn't see what she wanted to see. She didn't stop, and immediately left the room with her head covered, the look on her face looking more anxious than before.
After running through a long corridor, 'Shu Xue' entered the second room, where there was the same dilapidated wardrobe as in the guest room, 'Shu Xue' got into the wardrobe and hid inside, but did not go through the secret door to the opposite room, he was waiting, waiting for the people upstairs to arrive with the unconscious Mr. Actor.
——
Until now, the new chapter of eternity hidden in the shadows has been recalling what happened on the afternoon of December 30, when Xie Yunmeng first entered the tower's secret passage from the spiral staircase on the periphery of the brown tower after Xie Yunmeng discovered the path to the bell tower.
At that time, he met Yan Muheng and Wen Manman who came in from the periphery, and Yan Muheng insisted that Wen Manman was Shu Xue at that time, and Shu Xue took the initiative to find him for help. But these two people are actually not the same as they were at the beginning, that is, for the first time, their second personality is placed in front of Mr. Detective.
At that time, Xie Yunmeng and Yun Yeyao hadn't thought of this layer, so they were easily deceived by them. This may prove that Shu Xue and Wen Manman are likely to be the same person, but this conflicts with the story told by Wen Manman himself, as well as the performance of Sister Wang and Wen Yuya.
So are Shu Xue and Wen Manman the same person? We have to wait for more clues to prove it later. Meng Qi'er has nothing to do with the treacherous house on the surface, but we can hear from her own words that she may also be one of the children who were trafficked back then, but her fate is luckier than others, and her adoptive parents are in good financial condition, making her live a comfortable and prosperous life.
'Yan Muheng' stabbed him, in order to let her be a witness to Shu Xue's attack on the criminal police, but we know that this purpose was not achieved in the end, Meng Qi'er died in front of Xie Yunmeng, and was stabbed in the throat by the skeleton in the wall, and died with a whimper. In this way, it is still difficult for us to judge who the real murderer in the treacherous house is?
So, did Meng Qi'er really die in vain like this? Yan Muheng and Shu Xue, the second personality they showed, is really as ruthless as previously described, will they do whatever it takes to achieve their own ends?
Whatever the outcome, the sun will gradually illuminate the shadows, and when the shadows reced, the true eternal heart will be revealed to us, and the murderer will eventually have nothing to hide.
