59. Exploration
After my dad Jin Muxi brought him back to his home and released him on bail, I began to think about the question, where he lived before, and who was he? There were no clues at all in these investigation teams, and they did not investigate clearly, and when I asked him, he would not say. Again, I just feel that he has the same scars on his body as mine, which always makes me feel that there is a connection between us, but I don't know what it is, and I feel that he seems to know Zhou Tongcheng, but nothing is revealed to me, I don't know anything.
When I got to my house, I put him in the guest room, he asked me where I lived, I told him that I was in the master bedroom, he went to see and didn't say anything, I asked him why he came to my house and I stayed temporarily, and this time he told me that he was safe because he was only safe if he stayed in my house.
I asked if he was still insecure. But he said no more, and I was alerted to the fact that this man my age seemed to have many secrets, and I began to think that they might have something to do with me.
So after he was released on bail, I asked his uncle Zhang about it, and he told me that he had seen Zhang Zhang before my crime, which is why he appeared at the cremation site in Zhou Tongcheng, in order to get my attention. Sure enough, I just remembered seeing him that night as soon as I saw him, and then a series of things happened, and he said it was basically what he expected.
So when I said this, I asked him: "Then why were you at the scene with Zhou Tongcheng that night, and maybe he was even the murderer that night." ”
When he heard me say this, he just said to me, "I'm afraid you won't know the truth for a long time what happened that night, and it's a complete coincidence as to why I was there that night." ”
Hearing him say that it was a coincidence, I said, "After all that has happened, I don't believe in coincidence anymore, because coincidence is often a premeditated calculation." ”
Who knew that Jin Muxi laughed when he heard this, and he said: "It can also be said that after all, those seemingly coincidental things are all carefully arranged for a long time. ”
But even so, he still didn't want to say a word more about that night, and he deliberately avoided this topic later, he just told me that if I wanted to find my uncle Zhang Zhang, he could take me to a place to find it, but he didn't dare to guarantee whether the person was there or not.
That is, he knows a place.
When I asked my uncle why he sent a distress message, Jin told me that it was related to something my mother knew, so the question became that he asked me, "Then why did your mother kill herself when she came back at that time?" ”
This is something that I have never been able to understand, and I was too young at the time to understand these things, and now that I look back on those events, I do feel that my mother's actions and behaviors, including suicide, were very abnormal, as if she was trying to cover up something.
When Jin Muxi heard this, he said, "Your uncle may know about the incident that your mother wants to cover up, and that's why he asked for help." ”
But I was still puzzled, and I asked, "But twenty years have passed since this incident, and it stands to reason that my uncle should be in danger here, but why is he calling for help now?" ”
Jin Muxi said: "Because your uncle was discovered because of a recent incident, he had been hiding his identity before, and no one knew where he was, so naturally he could not be found." ”
I asked, "What's going on lately?" ”
Jin Muxi said: "If I know correctly, it should be that you were kidnapped, maybe because of this incident your uncle revealed his whereabouts." ”
I was shocked, was it me who was kidnapped? I immediately thought of some connections, could it be that the murderer used the kidnapping method to threaten my uncle, or forced my uncle to show up, and then the person who rescued me but didn't let me know was my uncle?
It seemed reasonable to think this way, but when I said it, Jin Muxi said categorically: "The person who saved you was definitely not your uncle." ”
When I saw that he was so sure, I asked him, "Do you know who it is?" ”
Jin Muxi nodded and said, "I know." ”
I felt my heart skip a beat and asked him, "Who is it?" ”
Jin Muxi looked at me and said, "I can't say that this person's identity is a thing that can't be said." ”
I was a little disappointed and asked, "Why, why can't I say that?" ”
Jin Muxi said: "Because of his identity, more bad things will be involved, which is why he saved you and didn't let you know who he is." ”
I looked at Jin Muxi, who he was, he knew so much, so I stopped talking and asked him, "Then when can I go to my uncle?" ”
Jin Mu Xi said, "I'll take you tomorrow." ”
So I just said yes to Jin Muxi, and then we went to sleep.
It was only in the middle of the night that I was awakened by some strange sound, and when I woke up, I heard the sound of someone walking outside, at first I thought it was what Kaneki was doing, but then I felt that something was wrong, because I clearly heard the sound of walking back and forth, as if someone was walking back and forth in the hallway outside the room.
I woke up completely, and got out of bed to see what was going on, but when I got out of bed, there was no sound, like a person walking suddenly stopped.
When I saw this, I felt more and more weird, although I felt a little abnormal, but I still opened the door, and after opening it, I saw that there was no one outside, and there was nothing in the hallway, I was shocked, no one, so what was the footsteps just now?
I went out a little bit, I saw that the door of Jin Muxi's room was open, and I was going to go in to see if there was anything unusual about him, but before I could go in, I suddenly felt that something was wrong in the living room, as if there was a person on the sofa, so I looked over to the sofa, and sure enough, I saw a person sitting on the sofa.
Seeing someone sitting on the couch silently, I asked, "Who is it?" ”
Then I heard Jin Muxi's voice, and he said, "Zhang Zhang told me that you will have some abnormal behaviors that are involuntarily decided, and I just saw it. ”
When I heard him say this, I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you just see?" ”
Jin Muxi said: "I haven't slept, just to observe whether you have abnormal behavior in the middle of the night, and if it was really around three o'clock, you got up, and then sat on the sofa, and sat like this, and there were a few weird laughs in the middle, and after about twenty minutes, you went back to your room to sleep." ”
I asked, "What was the footsteps just now?" ”
Jin Muxi said: "I sent it out on purpose. ”
I looked at him and asked incomprehensibly, "You sent it on purpose, why?" ”
Jin Muxi said: "I just want to know how you will react, but looking at your reaction now, it seems that you have become accustomed to it, so you have become accustomed to this environment of abnormal noises in the middle of the night, that is, you often hear these unusual sounds, and even you know that there will be other people in your house." ”
I didn't speak, just frowned and asked him, "What do you want to say?" ”
Jin Muxi said: "You left some traces tonight, come and have a look." ”
So I walked to the edge of the sofa, but I didn't turn on the light, so I looked at each other in the dark, and he sat on the sofa all the time, and then he picked up a piece of paper from the coffee table and said to me, "This is what you wrote when you were just sitting on the sofa, I have read it, you can take a look." ”
I took it suspiciously, and Jin Muxi handed me a pocket flashlight by the way, and I opened it to look at what I had written on the paper, and I was shocked to see that it was written on the paper - there is still a body not found.
I glanced at Kaneki and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Jin Muxi said: "After you finished writing, you had to tear it up, and I replaced it with blank paper in time, and the last thing you tore off was the blank paper." ”
I looked at him, looking at this thing I had written in disbelief, and at the same time I was a little skeptical of Jin Muxi's words, because I didn't have the slightest impression of this, but this handwriting was indeed mine.
