10. First confrontation

There was no one at the scene, except for the gunshots that had disappeared, there was a shoe on the ground, and a pool of blood, all fresh, I looked at the shoes, the size of the shoes did not look like an adult's, and it immediately reminded me of Ah Liang and Ah Jun. What I saw was a little different from what I thought, so I wondered a little, why do I use children's shoes?

I thought it would be Fu Shaolou's, and the worst would be Zhang Ziang's, but it wasn't, so why did the child's shoes stay in place, is my inference wrong?

A brief suspicion led me to look for other traces of blood and traces in the same place, but there was no other than a puddle of blood in the same place, and I picked up the shoes, and if it was a child's shoes, then there was another place with a clue, and that was the bald leper.

It's not far from the bald leper's house, so I walked over, and along the way I also paid attention to see if there were any additional traces left, but I didn't find it, until I came to his door, only to see that it was empty, and there was no one in it, so I walked in, and walked in here again, I always felt a strange atmosphere, this strange atmosphere is not the same as the silence of no one, it was I started from standing at the door, until I walked in, as if there was a person in the whole house who had been watching me in the dark, I had an uncomfortable feeling of being stared at.

But I wasn't sure if there was really anyone there, so I walked all the way to the bottom of the roof, and then I saw the blood again.

It was the Afghan army that died.

In the end, I saw his body in his room, he still had residual warmth on his body, as if the sound of the shooting had just caused his death, and when I found out that he was dead, I was a little speechless, and even felt that the whole thing was completely incompatible, such a child, why did he die?

Because I had the impression that he was part of the whole conspiracy, and there was no need to die, it was only then that I began to re-examine some of my speculations, whether it was too simple from the beginning.

I searched his body, and there was nothing useful on him, no clues, only a fatal wound, which was caused by the shooting, so I sat on the bed opposite him and watched him, unable to calm down for a long time, my mind was completely blank, until a long time later, I was thinking about a question - what did his death mean?

I didn't leave the house until it got dark, and when night fell again, I felt terrified, probably out of instinctive fear of the night, or because I had a premonition that something was going to happen in the night.

So I stayed here and didn't go out, although I was in the same room with the corpses, but I was not afraid, the silence outside seemed to be nothing, but it made me tremble, because I knew that the corpses inside could not come back to life to harm me, but the silence outside was all cannibalism.

When it was completely dark, I walked behind the window, and when I looked outside, I really saw the exact same situation as Zhang Ziang saw here that night, there was a person standing at the gate, but because there was no light in the courtyard, this time I could only see a shadowy figure, but I was not sure whether it was a person or not.

When I saw this figure, I instinctively connected him to the person of that night, and it was clearly the same, so the question arose, so who was this person, and why was he standing at the door of the bald leper's house?

I feel like my mind is full of questions now, at that time it was because Zhang Ziang persuaded me not to go out, so I dismissed the idea, and now I suddenly have this idea again, because I want to know who this person is.

I then walked out, and from the time I walked out to the time I approached him, he stood motionless in the doorway, until I was so close to him that I could even see his general face, and he did not move a bit, and it was a man, and a living person, especially his bald head, which was evident in the night.

I asked him, "Who are you?" ”

But he asked me, "Are you looking for me?" ”

When I heard him ask, many thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant, and then they began to gather little by little, and finally became a complete idea, and when the idea was completely formed in my mind, I was frightened myself, and I said, "You are a bald leper!" ”

Even I wondered if it was true, because there was no such thing as a bald leper here, even the funeral was fake, and even the name itself was a trap and a mystery.

When I said this, I said in surprise: "How is this possible, this person does not exist!" ”

He asked me, "If it doesn't exist, then why is it named?" ”

I couldn't answer him, but I was still surprised, and I wanted to ask something, but he continued, "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

I really didn't know how to answer him when he suddenly asked me, but I soon found that the simpler the question, don't think about the complicated one, just answer it simply, and I thought of the purpose of my coming here at that time, so I temporarily discarded all the things that happened after that, and said to him: "It was Fu Shaolou who asked me to come to you, and he said that you have a very important thing here, and I want to keep it." ”

He listened but didn't react, but there was a different message in his calm words, he said, "You're looking for the archives." ”

He's not asking, he's stating, that is, he knows where the archives are, and I asked him, "Do you know where the archives are?" ”

He said: "The thing that Fu Shaolou asked you to come to is the archives. ”

I asked, "So you know where?" ”

The bald leper said, "I know where it is, but I can't open it." ”

I didn't answer, because I had a mindful eye, and I just asked him, "Is it only the only way to know where?" ”

He replied, "Yes." ”

I said, "How is this possible, if there really is such a person as you, you should have been discovered a long time ago, but why are you still free to come and go here without anyone noticing?" ”

The bald leper just said, "This is my job." ”

I could hear what he didn't want to say, so I changed the subject and asked, "But what happened to this shooting in the evening, and why did Ah Jun die?" ”

The bald leper said, "Because he leaked some information to you that you shouldn't have known." ”

I was shocked: "That album? ”

But I don't think it's right, that album was given to me by Ah Liang, then it's not, but I can't remember anything else at all, the bald leper said: "How did you remember to go to Cao Guang's house, do you remember?" ”

It dawned on me that the reason why I remembered that place was entirely because of the eerie appearance of Ah Jun in front of me that night, wasn't it expected?

The bald leper said: "You remembered Cao Guang's house, so you went there, and then you knew what you shouldn't know, and the whole incident began to develop in an uncontrollable direction, and they found out that Ah Jun was the one who used it to remind you, and it was a spy planted in it, although he may not know it." ”

I don't think it's right, what the bald leper said is very reasonable, but it's too reasonable, but it makes people feel that something is wrong, and more importantly, I was attracted by the sound of gunfire, if things have developed in an uncontrollable direction, then why brought me over, is it to see the bald leper?!

So I looked at the bald leper and finally found a flaw in his own words, and I said, "You're not a bald leper!" ”

He asked, "Why?" ”

I said, "If you are a bald leper, then they killed Ah Jun and brought me here so that I could see you?" This is obviously impossible. If you killed Ah Jun, but the purpose was to lure me in, but the rhetoric contradicts your previous rhetoric, so I infer that you are not a bald leper, then who are you? ”

He looked at me, but his expression did not change, and for a moment I was a little uncertain, but soon he said: "You are right about one thing, that is, I brought you here, so why did I bring you here?" ”
