Chapter 35: The Transformation of Identity (I)
Tang Qianlin and the other four who slid down the rope to another suspended house did not find any new clues, and the boxes in the house were still filled with the stand-in dolls with seals.
Tang Qianlin threw the picked up puppet back into the box: "We have to keep going, it seems that the things in these rooms are almost the same." ”
"Cursed?" After Takahashi Jiro said these two words, he found that Tang Qianlin was glaring at him, and he quickly stopped.
Cigarette butt said at this time: "I agree, we have to continue to go down, and we have to find other people, maybe other people have also found out, and the clues of the two teams investigating may be able to figure out what is going on here." ”
"Do you know the Divine Stone?" Jinguss, who was standing at the door and squatting and looking down, suddenly asked.
Tang Qianlin looked at Jin Gusi: "Divine Stone? ”
Jin Gusi said: "Yes, a few years ago, on my way back to my hometown, I happened to pass by a village, but found that the villagers almost did not work, every family was worshipping, I felt very curious, so I asked an old man, the old man told me that some time ago, there was a short white night here, and then the sacred stone fell from the sky. ”
Jiro Takahashi asked, "A short white night?" What does White Night mean? ”
"It's night, and all of a sudden, it's like day, and the moon and the sun appear in the sky at the same time, but it's very short, it lasts less than ten minutes," Gingus explained. ”
Hearing this, the cigarette butt stood there pondering something.
Tang Qianlin said: "I have also heard of this kind of thing, and it also happened in a certain county of our Han Dynasty in China. ”
"Towards the end of the night," Jingus continued, "the sun fell from the sky and fell over the fields, and the setting sun was the sacred stone that the villagers worshipped. ”
The curious Jinguth went to the field outside the village and found that the villagers had taken the initiative to protect the field, and there was a large pit on the west side of the field, and there was a huge stone in the pit.
"The stone was like a black crystal, and it was suspended in the pit." "I was absolutely not mistaken, I got so close that I entered the pit despite the villagers' resistance, and I threw stones into the gap between the stone and the ground, making sure that there was nothing underneath to support it. ”
When Jiro Takahashi heard this, he suddenly said, "Did this incident happen in the area of Jijiang Road?" ”
Jinguth looked at Jiro Takahashi: "Do you know about this?" ”
Takahashi Jiro said: "That's right, I also know about this, and I know now, you are not the person I found, you are Jingus, the North Korean explorer, because you were arrested and sent to prison in Cigang Province." ”
"I didn't intend to hide it." Jinguth laughed, "It's your wishful thinking from the beginning, thinking of me as the killer you're looking for. ”
Tang Qianlin just smiled when he heard this, feeling that Jiro Takahashi's reaction was too slow.
From the first time he met Jingus, coupled with Li Yunfan's conversation with him, he knew that he must be the North Korean adventurer, so when Takahashi Jiro told him that it was not Jingus, but a replacement killer, Tang Qianlin just asked him, do you think that the upper echelons of the Kwantung Army are idiots?
Takahashi Jiro smiled: "Of course I know that you are not the killer." ”
After speaking, Takahashi Jiro looked at Tang Qianlin again: "I have never regarded those thinkers in the upper echelons of the Kwantung Army as fools, because the person I wanted to find at the beginning was Jinguss." ”
This time, it was finally Tang Qianlin and Jin Gusi's turn to be surprised, and the cigarette butt stood on the side, listening carefully to the conversation between them.
"Six years ago, after I experienced those strange events in Feibishan, Professor Kwon Qianzhang, that is, my mentor, tried to seek foreign aid, I was still a simple soldier who only knew how to carry out military orders, I don't agree with his opinion, I think that Ben is strong enough to figure out what is happening here, and the exploration and mining done is also for the so-called Greater East Asia Co-prosperity, liberating the yellow race from the white race." Jiro Takahashi took out a cigarette, but did not light it, "It wasn't until later, when the epidemic broke out at the military station, and the so-called experts of the epidemic prevention and water supply unit used this place as a testing ground, that I realized that we didn't even count the chess pieces in their hands, but we couldn't do anything but wait for death, and at this time, Mr. Chu Lekang appeared." ”
When Tang Qianlin heard this, he immediately asked, "You have already said these things." ”
Jiro Takahashi looked at him and said, "Chu Lekang told me at the time that if I couldn't find you, then there was a replacement candidate, and that was the Korean adventurer Jingus. ”
Tang Qianlin looked at Jin Gusi: "Do you know my senior brother?" ”
Jinguth shook his head: "I swear, I definitely don't know any Mr. Chu Lekang, I haven't even heard of it." ”
Tang Qianlin asked Takahashi Jiro again: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Takahashi Jiro said: "If Chu Lekang hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known any North Korean adventurers." ”
Jinguth raised his eyebrows: "I thought that I was already famous all over the world." ”
Takahashi Jiro said: "According to Mr. Chu Lekang, there are three adventurers who study shamanism in Asia, and you are the closest to us among the three. ”
Tang Qianlin looked at Jingusi: "You are also studying shamanism?" ”
The cigarette butt, which had been silent, always focused on Jinguss.
Jinguth smiled: "I'm just interested in shamanism......"
Although Jinguth said it lightly, Chu Lekang told Takahashi Jiro that all the relics of shamanism left on the Korean Peninsula had been searched by Jingus, and these relics could no longer satisfy the expert's appetite, so he set foot on the land of northeastern China and entered Manchuria to continue the search.
And how did Jiro Takahashi plan to set up a bureau to get the person Jinguth here?
"I had a classmate in the Korean army, and before we enlisted, I had witnessed a crime committed in his hometown, and I had solid evidence in my hand, and if I submitted this evidence, he would have been forced to take off his uniform and go back to his homeland to serve his sentence......"
And Takahashi Jiro, a fellow countryman named Sato, works as a senior assistant in the police department of the North Korean Governor's Office, and his direct counterpart is the local Japanese gendarmerie and secret police force, so it should not be difficult for him to find a famous explorer in North Korea.
But when Sato, who was threatened, began to search for Jinguss, he found that there was no trace of this person. At that time, they did not know that after becoming an explorer, all the information registered in the government department was forged by him at a large cost of bribing the relevant staff, so there was no way to find out, as if this person appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air.
"But you made a mistake, and it was this mistake that led us to track down that you were Jingus." Jiro Takahashi said with a smile, "After you were arrested, because you were worried about being traced, you didn't use the name Jinguth and related documents, but used the earliest name, which is Kim Tae-jin." ”
There are three identities and three names. Originally named Kim Tae-jin, his identity was an ordinary rural teacher, and later his name was changed to Li Zheng-tae, and his identity was a businessman.
Therefore, after Jinguth was arrested, he was worried that there would be a loophole in the process of constantly exchanging two names, so he simply used his past name and identity, that is, Kim Tae-jin.
Jin Gusi suddenly figured it out: "The one named Chu Lekang originally told you the name Jin Taizhen, not Jingus, right?" ”
Jiro Takahashi nodded: "That's right, that's true, so, it was Kim Tae-jin who I asked Sato to investigate at the beginning, not Jin Gusi, so it was an accident that you were arrested, and it was a coincidence that I found you." ”
Jinguth closed his eyes: "I am smart but I am mistaken by cleverness." ”
Takahashi Jiro said: "I know that your temper will not be easily persuaded, and there is still an obstacle in front of me, that is, General Kyoji Miyake, I can't let him know my intentions, because what I am doing now is treason, so, Sato and I began to set up a situation, on the one hand, I reported to General Miyake, hoping that he would approve me to take the Jingruth out of prison, and on the other hand, I asked Sato to immediately arrange for that third-rate killer to go to prison and live in the same cell as you......"
Immediately afterward, Sato sent another cronie to convince Gingus, but Gingus was not in the least interested in what was happening here, and the cronie left a bracelet on the table before leaving.
Jinguth took out the bracelet at this time and said: "This is the bracelet worn by the shaman, it is rare to see such an ancient and complete one, I knew at that time that there was something strange about this matter, so I became interested." ”
That night, the killer assassinated Gingus on Sato's orders, but he didn't succeed and was killed by Gingus in the fight.
Jiro Takahashi looked at Jingusi and said, "From the moment that killer walked into the prison, you saw his appearance and had an idea to replace him, right?" ”
Jinguth nodded: "That's right, it turns out that this is all designed by you, you found a third-rate killer who is very similar to me to live in a cell with me, you know, I will use that method." ”
Takahashi Jiro said: "Yes, in that kind of prison with chaotic management, this is your only way out. ”
The next morning, when the prison guards found the body, Jinguth had already changed into the killer's clothes and pretended to be him, but at this moment, the prison guards threatened Jinguth and said to him: "From now on, you are this person named Jin Taezhen, do you understand?" ”
Jinguth was stupid when he heard it, he tried his best to exchange his identity with the killer, although the prison guards didn't see through it, but let him pretend to be himself, why?
Gingus, of course, didn't know that it was part of Takahashi's plan.
"Why am I doing this? How did I know the prison side would do this? The reason is very simple, General Miyake will not really find someone with the ability to come to my side to assist me, and after the prison side learns that the Kwantung Army is looking for Jingus, and Jinguss is dead, it is bound to let the killer who thought he was still alive replace Jingus. Jiro Takahashi had a smug smile on his face, "How could General Miyake's intelligence network be so powerful that he didn't know about this?" So, in his investigation, Jinguth is indeed dead, and he is replaced by a third-rate killer, how can a third-rate killer help me? ”
Tang Qianlin smiled: "Clever, your game is perfectly designed, and you have not only deceived Jingus, but also deceived Kyoji Miyake with the two tricks of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea and transferring flowers and trees, so that he could send the real Jingusi to you safely." ”
