Chapter 6 Zheng Dong's abnormal behavior during his lifetime
As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then watched me slowly spit out three words: "Impossible!" ”
No way?
I frowned, completely unintelligible about what he was saying.
Then I heard him add, "We may have misunderstood the meaning of these words all the time, and the takeaway brother wrote these things, not to say anything directly, but to imply that all the truth is hidden in something that does not make sense, so our attention should be changed next, maybe we can grasp some clues"
After I listened to him, I actually thought that what he said was nonsense, and everything that happened in the past few days was not normal, so I still need to say it?
However, seeing his serious face, he couldn't bear to discourage his enthusiasm, and after chatting a few words, he asked him to go back to the house to sleep first.
When I left, he deliberately told me again, "Remember, it's unreasonable, if you think about it again, maybe we've been misled all along......"
I nodded a few times, and then closed the door, but I was so annoyed that I simply didn't want to do anything, and went to sleep with my head covered.
Nothing happened overnight.
Early the next morning, the old man knocked on my door again, and continued to talk about his inferences about the note, but almost all of it was nonsense.
I didn't bother to talk to him, so I went into the house and washed my face and prepared to go out.
"Well, where are you going......"
He called me from behind, and I said I'd go out on some errands, and let him stay home and continue working on the note.
"Hey, don't be angry!"
He also saw that I was a little impatient, ran up to me in a few steps, looked at me with some embarrassment, and said, "Maybe there is something wrong with my inferences, but I do remember another thing." ”
As he spoke, he showed a mysterious expression, and after looking around, he lowered his voice and said: "Think about it, now we also know that there is something pretending to be you, and we can't always doubt it when we meet in the future, so ......"
In the middle of his sentence, he suddenly slipped a note in my hand, then patted me on the shoulder, smiled playfully, and then turned back to the house without saying a word.
I frowned, thinking to myself what the old guy was trying to do, and I suspiciously spread out the note and looked at it, and was immediately happy.
There are two sentences written on it: the king of heaven covers the tiger, and the chicken stews mushrooms.
There are two words attached to it: code.
I took out my lighter and burned the note, thinking to myself that the old man had done something that was pretty reliable.
I first went to the supermarket, bought some tobacco, alcohol and tea, and then called Zheng Dong's cousin and asked him if it was inconvenient now, and I wanted to visit his house.
Fortunately, I kept an eye on the hospital that day and asked for the phone number of Uncle Zheng Dong.
After listening to my explanation, he sent me an address.
At the entrance of an urban village in the city, I saw Zheng Dong's cousin again, looking very haggard, and took me to the place where Zheng Dong lived before his death.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Zheng Dong's portrait hanging in the middle, and in the black and white photo, he was grinning with white teeth and smiling very brightly.
Thinking that he was still alive a few days ago, I felt very bad in my heart, put the things in my hand on the table, and lit three sticks of incense in front of Zheng Dong's portrait.
"Uncle, has Zheng Dong always lived here before?" I handed Zheng Dong's cousin a cigarette and took out a lighter to light it for him.
He nodded slightly, and then chatted with me, and through the conversation, I got to know Zheng Dong better.
He is an orphan, he grew up with the help of relatives since he was a child, don't look at him as a food delivery, but he was a top student with excellent character and learning, the object of the school's key training, he is very talented, writes good articles, and has won many rankings in competitions.
But when the college entrance examination was approaching, because of some accidents, he resolutely gave up the exam, went to the city early to work, and later became a food delivery rider.
I sighed after listening to it, I didn't expect Zheng Dong to have such a story.
Then I found an excuse to ask the middle-aged man to take me to Zheng Dong's bedroom, because it happened last night, so the things in the room were hardly touched.
After looking around for a while, my eyes fell on a black-shell notebook on the table.
When I opened it, it was full of things written by Zheng Dong, and the content was very miscellaneous, some were some feelings, some were some small poems he created, and some diaries.
Sure enough, as his cousin said, Zheng Dong is indeed a talented man, his handwriting is very beautiful, his articles are also very aura, and his words and sentences are very rigorous, but he is not lost to those professional writers.
The content was quite normal, and I didn't find anything special, but when I turned to the last page, I suddenly saw a missing corner the size of a fingernail.
It is clear that the pages here have been torn off.
I quickly took out the note from my pocket, compared it to the missing corner, and found that the page was indeed torn from here.
I frowned, and quickly flipped to the previous page, which was a diary, dated exactly the day before his accident.
The content is a little strange: hehe, everything is a scam, it's all fake, it turns out that I have been kept in the dark, from beginning to end, it is a complete lie, not only me, everyone has been deceived, why me, why me, I am unwilling, unwilling!!
I can fully feel the mood he felt when he wrote this passage at the time, he must have been quite angry, and the paper was punctured by the tip of the pen in several places because of the excessive force.
If this text is placed in ordinary times, there is nothing wrong with it, but in this society, many people have complaints in their hearts, and writing it down in a diary is also a way to vent their emotions.
But Zheng Dong had an accident the night after he wrote this paragraph, which had to be taken seriously.
If this passage is related to the things that follow, then did Zheng Dong always know something?
Suddenly, I remembered one thing, Zheng Dong had an accident the night before, and I met him for the first time in the teahouse during the day, but if this passage was written before, does this mean that Zheng Dong already knew something before he met me in the teahouse?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, swallowed hard, and asked the middle-aged man, before this, there was anything abnormal about Zheng Dong.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "It seems that there really is, he has been saying that he is very unlucky for most of the month, and the week before he suddenly said that he wanted to go to the temple to see, and after coming back, the whole person looked very spiritual, and assured me that he would make a fortune in a short time, and he would definitely honor me and so ......on."
"By the way, there's one more thing!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man seemed to remember something, and said, "It was probably the third day after he came back from the temple, and I went to look for him that night, and when I walked to the door, I heard him talking inside, talking and laughing, but when I knocked on the door, I saw him alone in the house." ”
"I asked him who he was talking to, and he said I had misheard, and that he was alone in the house, so how could he talk to others. I've always wondered about this, because I heard it very clearly in the doorway, and I certainly heard it right, he did seem to be talking to someone. ”
"Can you remember what he said?" I hurriedly asked.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "I didn't hear the content very clearly, but there is one sentence that I remember very clearly, he said at the time, 'Don't worry, this matter is wrapped up in me, I promise to do it seamlessly', and there is a very strange sentence, it seems to be something 'Venerable Lord Immeasurable Immortal ......An', I don't know if I heard it wrong, anyway, it's this pronunciation." ”
I bit my lip next to me, and the other party saw me stunned, so he asked me what was wrong, I waved my hand and said it was okay, and then asked him: "Do you know which temple Zheng Dong went to?" ”
He thought for a while and said, "I don't know about this, I only heard him mention the word Beishan later, but I know which temple it is." ”
After listening to him, I hurriedly said hello and walked out, stopped the car on the road and went straight to Beishan.
On the way, I re-checked my thoughts, and if all of Zheng Dong's abnormal behaviors were related to his final death, it would not be difficult to sort out a clear context.
He must have reached an agreement with someone, and the other party had used his interests as bait to let Zheng Dong do something, and in the end Zheng Dong found out that it was all a scam, but it was too late, so he wrote that angry sentence on a piece of paper.
Then that night, he knew that something would happen to him, but he was not reconciled, so he wrote the note and asked his cousin to give it to me.
If my conjecture is correct, then I can make a bold assumption: Zheng Dong's promise to that person is likely to be related to me, and when we met in the teahouse that day, Zheng Dong's words and everything he showed were probably pretended!
But all this is just my speculation, but anyway, I have to go to Beishan now and find the temple of Zheng Dongbai, and the mastermind behind all this is probably hidden in that temple!
