XXXVIII. The Past Events

I was silent for a long time, no, more calm than silent.

"How did you find me?" After a moment of calm, I began to question the veracity of the story.

"We are the police, this is not difficult to find, your father's mobile phone is turned off, your other uncle, he didn't listen to our explanation at all, we only found you in the end."

I smiled bitterly, the second uncle has been in a divorce recently, a stomach full of resentment, you called him at this time, and said that you are the public security in Sichuan, isn't this looking for scolding?

I pressed my temples, "Okay, now tell me what's going on." ”

Then the other end of the phone told me that a week ago, they found an old truck without taking pictures at the entrance of Heizhugou, so they took him back on routine business, but it was very strange, the truck had no gas, and the driver was a person who couldn't speak, and it took them a week to scan the face and compare people's faces, and fingerprint locking, to determine that he was the grandfather who disappeared twenty years ago.

As for why it took a week to do the comparison, I think it was probably because a person who had been missing in Jiangxi for 20 years suddenly appeared in Sichuan, and became mute, driving an old-fashioned empty oil car.

They didn't run to "get closer to science", and I'm thankful.

Next, I added the officer's WeChat, and he sent a location, and then some photos of the car, and photos of my grandfather.

I looked at the photos on my phone, and my heart stopped, grandpa...... Grandpa, he is not old at all, the same as twenty years ago.

"What's going on? That's impossible. "I began to wonder if this person was grandpa, if this whole thing was a trap, or if that person wasn't my grandpa, and his face was just a mask.

Over the years, I have seen his photos on the tombstone more than once, but I really can't imagine that he has not changed at all in appearance.

I thought of this and immediately called my second uncle.

The phone rang for more than a minute, and the guy finally answered, and without even thinking about it, he knew that there was another quarrel.

"What's going on?" He tried to calm his tone.

"Something is wrong." I swallowed, letting my restless emotions calm down.

"What's the matter?"

"Grandpa found it, really, I saw the photo sent from Sichuan, that's grandpa, we have to go over."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and the second uncle said, "Wait for me at home in the afternoon, have you been contacted by your uncle?" ”

"Haven't called yet."

"You contact, I'm a little busy here." Then I called my uncle again, and he immediately rushed over after hearing about it. I told him everything that was on the phone.

The same reaction as all those who heard about it for the first time. He was also silent, I can understand it, after all, this kind of thing is simply beyond the scope of normal people's cognition.

"I also received a call from Sichuan, but I didn't answer, I played mahjong all night that day, and I lost some money and was in a bad mood."

Me: "....... ”

"What does your second uncle think?"

"He'll come over in the afternoon, let's talk about it."

"Then what do you think, your father is not here now, and you are the only one in charge of your family."

I thought for a moment and said, "First of all, I don't think it's a hoax, not many people knew about my grandfather back then, it wasn't even reported in the newspapers, and the floods took almost all the headlines. So since no one knows the inside story, there should be no fake, so the purpose can be ignored.

Secondly, after twenty years, grandpa's appearance has not changed at all, what does this mean? It shows that in the past 20 years, grandpa may have been in a place where time is fixed, or there is no concept of time.

Moreover, from Jiangxi to Ebian, Sichuan, more than 1,500 kilometers, grandpa's car can not be on the highway, and the car of that era, once found on the road, will definitely be investigated, he does not have any annual inspection signs for one year, so this shows that he did not drive past, that is, he has been in a place without a concept of space in the past 20 years.

So where would you think about a place where there is no time, no concept of space? ”

Uncle gave me a blank look: "There are some places on the earth that have long been discovered by scientists. Don't guess. ”

"yes." I nodded, thinking that there was no need to talk to him so much, and I wasn't sure if the other world that the Japanese were looking for was the place where my grandfather had been missing for the time he had been missing.

But my subconscious tells me that there is definitely a correlation between the two.

At noon, I simply ate a few dishes at home, and in the afternoon the second uncle drove a car, he was in a very bad mental state with dark circles under his eyes, and he said as soon as he entered the house: "Let's go, go to Ebian, and bring my dad back." ”

And just like that, we filled up with gas and hit the road straight on.

For nearly twenty hours of driving, the three of us switched cars, posed surveillance heads, and moved at full speed at almost 120 yards.

"Hurry up again." I had a vague feeling that this trip wouldn't go so smoothly.

"Actually, this matter is not as simple as you think, do you think about why Dad was tracked down by the police in the first place? The reason is the resale of cultural relics, although it is just a hat, but he is still wearing this hat until now. The second uncle said to the uncle: "So if the police find out about Dad, why don't you notify the police in Jiangxi, but notify us to deal with it privately?" ”

"You're right." Uncle said.

"Actually, this is why I didn't take this phone call to heart, but now a photo has been sent from there, and it is determined from the photo that it is Dad, and we have to pick him up, of course, no matter if it is taken back or not."

The second uncle said a word, and I listened to it in my ears, and my whole body trembled.

"Oh, yes. Uncle, I've encountered something these days. "I thought about it for a long time, but I took out my dad's watch. Then I told me about the things I encountered in the past few days from beginning to end.

The second uncle took the watch from the passenger seat and glanced at it: "This is the boss's thing." ”

"Brother, maybe you found something." The uncle said: "When your grandfather disappeared, in fact, that incident did not end so quickly, and I went home that day to see the old man who told me not to look for the coffin. When he had finished talking to me, he dived into the water. And I found a green turtle shell prop downstream. ”

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted: "The one who told me not to look for a coffin was actually not the old turtle in the Dragon Hall, but someone dressed up?" ”

"That's right, someone doesn't want us to meddle in this matter, in fact, our family, here is only the role of delivery, and we don't get too involved, if it weren't for your grandfather's disappearance, we wouldn't have been biting this clue."

"If someone is meddling, then it means that this whole thing is not done by ghosts? What about money? ”

"It's a very simple question, the 1,000 yuan that your grandfather received at the beginning was also deducted from the 10,000 yuan, why didn't the 1,000 in our family become the underworld currency?"

"That family made up a lie in order to swallow that money?"

"Their family seems to be a bit of a doorway, so that thing passed so easily, but after all these years, they should still be looking for the coffin, so they pretended to be ghosts and wanted us to give up this matter halfway."

I sat in the back of the car, thinking about what the second uncle said, and then thinking back to the dragon coffin in the ancient tomb of the Marquis of Huanhaidu, and suddenly felt that the family must have studied the words on the inscription of the coffin in 98, so they found something involved.

"By the way, I've always wanted to ask, where did that family come from? How could you swallow the 10,000 yuan privately? ”

The second uncle shook his head: "I don't know about the above things, but the surname of that family is very unique." ”

"Oh?"

"The surname is Gu Yue."

"Gu Yue? Gu Yue? Wildly? "I suddenly thought of the graceful body in the burial chamber.
