Chapter 209: Peeling Back the Threads
Could it be that the other part of the memory that was sifted out of the deceased's memory was the reason why the murderer chose to hand over the sketch to Daoist Yin and chose to cooperate with Elder Song to implement this bold idea?
There are also people who are planted in Li Sansi's team, and it may also be because of his discovery in that part of the unknown memory, which forced him to follow Li Sansi, because he has an important clue in his hand.
That may also be what the deceased recorded in the data, of course, all of this is just speculation.
Maybe this speculation can be verified by Li Sansi, but this way of verification cannot be sorted out, because the person who was installed has died in the trap.
But fortunately, the final answer is here, in this piece of jade pendant, maybe if we find it, we can bargain with the murderer?
Thinking of the identity of the murderer, and what the murderer was looking for, now in our hands, I feel that he will definitely come to see us, at least to determine the value of this jade pendant to him.
However, all this time, it seems that no one else has seen this murderer at all except me, and although I said that I did, he was wearing a mask at the time, and even if the other party was standing in front of me now, I would not recognize him.
So, how can I be sure that he will appear, and I will verify the value of this jade pendant, and after it appears, how can I determine his identity?
In this way, just as Elder Song said, for him, all of us are unfamiliar, the only record is what Elder Song said, this person belongs to the World Snake Organization, and it is possible that he is dead, and what appears this time is only his successor.
This is our opponent, who doesn't know anything about him, as if we've been going around in circles by someone who doesn't know if he exists.
However, the only people who can determine the clues are Elder Song and Yin Daochang, and now that Elder Song is dead, the rest is Yin Daochang, but when asked about the identity of that person and his whereabouts, the other party only shook his head, although they were on the phone, but the other party was very smart, he never used a landline phone, and the voice was also processed, so that people couldn't tell who it was?
But I can be sure that if I had seen him that night, he was a man, of medium stature, and had a mysteriousness.
Because it was night, I couldn't see it clearly, so I could only say that.
Recalling that night, I thought of a possibility, that is, at that time, the other me that Baizhou said brought back may also be the person arranged by the murderer, and I remember that Baizhou also said at the time that the person didn't say a word along the way.
As soon as I checked it like this, I felt a chill in my heart, this person's purpose is very strong, and in order to meet me, he has gone to great lengths, and it seems that the confidentiality work is in place.
But looking back, I thought about it again, would he have other intentions in doing this, would it be someone else who appeared in front of the grave of the deceased?
Even, this person just arranged a game and put us all in it, but he never showed up.
I shook my head, a little incredulous, and told myself not to think about it anymore, because thinking about it like this would only make things more complicated.
I shook them off and glanced at Elder Song and the jade pendant again, we can only pin our hopes on them.
We may be able to find the information that the murderer is looking for according to this jade pendant, which may have been preserved by Li Sansi, or it may be related to the deceased.
As for whether they will come and rob after they find it, this is something we look forward to and avoid.
If we can see him head-on, we will naturally have the bottom in our hearts, after all, we are not playing with an ethereal person, and our hearts have somewhat fixed the form of this person in a certain form.
This kind of fixation is very necessary for me, because it allows me to eliminate too many possibilities, and it also has a certain stabilizing effect on my inner thoughts.
But if he does show up, what else can we threaten that person other than the information we have?
Facing him, I have too many conjectures and too many uncertainties in my heart, and these are the things that make me see this opponent as powerful and complicated.
Maybe it's just an illusion, but it's just because I'm making a wrong assessment of something uncertain.
We wrapped Elder Song in a piece of cloth, carried it on our backs, and on the way back, we talked about what had happened before.
There are also a lot of thoughts in my heart, so I don't want to participate in their discussions, I don't want to express my opinions, I just want to go back as soon as possible and have a good rest, or the murderer will also appear in front of us when the sun rises the next day.
Sighing, I still heard Daoist Yin's speculation about this person's arrival today, and the reason why they are here.
In fact, Yin Daochang had just crawled out of the complicated cave, but as soon as he came out, he met these people, out of curiosity, they secretly followed the past, only to find that these people, the original purpose was to collect the Gu worms here, but when they were outside the cave entrance, they hesitated again.
Before, Yin Daochang didn't know who these people were, so he didn't know what they were going to do.
After a while, they walked to another place, probably thinking that this entrance was wrong, and went to look for another entrance.
Because of those quicksands, there are also many holes to enter and exit here, and this also makes those Gu worms more obvious, but they don't seem to have the intention of crawling out.
Because inside, Yin Daochang also discovered them, but he didn't know the purpose, so he didn't dare to contact them rashly?
Now it seems to be very sensible.
When I followed those people all the way here, I realized that this idea might not be right, and their purpose was not complete.
But meeting us is definitely a coincidence, but this coincidence feels too ...... It's incredible, it's incomprehensible.
But in the end, it's because of these people and the tomb that we got to one place, maybe it's strange here!
When I thought of this, I shook my head with emotion, glanced back at where I had come from, and made them suddenly change direction, whether it was because we were back, or because of the dead.
With those confused and tangled thoughts, I couldn't solve too much content, so I could only close my eyes, let myself relax first, and wait for calm down before I combined the questions I couldn't understand and find an answer.
The forest in front of us was covered with a layer of white moonlight, and when we walked here before, we felt that we were still spinning in place, mostly because of hunger, but now that we have filled our stomachs, it is much easier to walk.
After a while, we finally came out of the darkness and saw the buildings in the distance, sparsely scattered in the moonlight.
The village was in sight, and we all sped up with joy, but it was as if we were capturing the darkness of dawn, and the whole village was quiet, as if a dream had rendered the whole world.
We went along a big road, over the high next building, we went up to the top of a small building with an oblique angle, and after coming down from above, we walked to the courtyard, looked around a few times, and we lived a little different, but barely able to live people, that is, when the door was opened, there was a tide smell.
But now, if we look for a place, we don't have that mind, even on the street, we can sleep in a bed.
Walking into the house, we cleaned it briefly, most of the yards here are empty, and the people here have moved out, but fortunately, the furniture in the house is quite neat.
A few of us put together four single beds, turned out a few quilts, and shook it, but a black-haired mouse shook out of it, which scared me, and I don't know how many years no one has lived here.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, but I was afraid that it was a poisonous rat, so I didn't dare to catch it, so I only found a sheet, wrapped the mouse, and threw it out.
There was no electricity in the house, so we could only light kerosene lamps and use the ever-bright lamps turned out of Liu Ran's backpack to illuminate the surroundings.
When we had made this simple bed, we all lay down as if we had been freed prisoners.
Lying down, I slowly rested, thinking about nothing, but at this time, there seemed to be a voice whispering something in my ear.
The sound was staccato and at first I thought it was someone else's snoring, so I rolled over and lay back.
After this sleep, I saw those murals from time to time, and the contents on the stone walls, they did not look like dreams, as if I woke up, I was still in the ancestral tomb, and I would see the abyss without the source.
In this way, the night passed, and I only heard the people around me waking up one after another, but I didn't want to get up?
I slept again, I don't know how long, I was finally willing to open my eyes, but I saw the sun outside shining in, through those carved window lattices, I rubbed my eyes, and climbed up.
Half of the room was already full of sunlight, and I stared blankly, not knowing what day it was the last time I slept at this time.
Shaking my head, I sat up, stretched again, and walked outside.
The sun was shining on me, and I looked sideways to see the sheet that I had thrown out last night, which had been bitten by rats.
When I walked out of the yard, I happened to meet Baizhou, and when he saw me come out, he told me the time, and took me to another yard for lunch.
After that, we prepared again, went with the others to the place where we found those people last night, and asked the other people to arrange Elder Song's funeral.
But remembering that last night, we were so tired that we only left the carcass outside, and I don't know if any other animals have found it.
Without further ado, by the time Baizhou had arranged everything, there were already more than a dozen people following us out of the village, and when I took a closer look, I saw that most of those people were villagers, but I didn't see Daoist Yin and Liu Ran.
I asked Baizhou where they went, and the other person replied, "One said they wanted to study the jade pendant, the other said they wanted to look for it, and there were any other clues, but they said they would be back in the afternoon." ”
As we spoke, we came to the place where we were last night, and looking at the tombstone, we stopped.
A few people came over hesitantly, walked around a few times, and when they came back, told us that we didn't find the entrance.
There was no other suspicious place here except the grave, but what was the purpose of those people who came here last night?
