168 insiders
I, Tomie, and Jung hid behind a weed-infested mound twenty meters from the trailer. The full-text ad-free novel is all tightly covered inside the trailer biquge.info Aishang Novel Network, but we didn't rush forward recklessly, and through Guò Quark's ears and perceptions, the things inside are almost unobstructed. As I listened, I relayed the conversation between Engels and the owner of the tow car to Tomie and Jung.
Engels was indeed as we thought, very familiar with the ins and outs of the fire in the mental hospital that year, and the meaning revealed between the words vaguely proved that he was the party who caused the fire and not the firefighter who rushed to the scene after the fact. Not only that, but the fire that seemed to burn a qiē to the ground actually left clues, and the tow owner and the fast-food restaurant owner Bulma seemed to be survivors at the time.
At that time, there were not only doctors and patients in the mental hospital, but also many townspeople. But why did these survivors prefer to go incognito and leave the country rather than talk about what happened back then? Ten years later, one by one, the people involved in the events of that year returned to the town.
The owner of the trailer and Engels sat face to face at the table. In Quark's perception, the appearance of the owner of the tow car was a little blurred, but the fear, malaise, and unexpected persistence in his heart were clearly revealed from his tone. Engels' voice did not hide his anger and anxiety.
"Someone else must be back besides me, right?" Said the owner of the tow car.
"No, you're back."
"Is that so? No one else? ”
"They're not like you." Engels said hurriedly.
The owner of the tow car paused for a long time and said slowly, "No, they will come back too...... Maybe it's just me X who is close to the town, and maybe they're all in the city. ”
Engels surprisingly did not refute, and remained silent, and the two of them thought about their own thoughts for a while, and the atmosphere began to become heavier.
“…… Marseille is back. Engels spoke.
"It's not surprising. He's the son of that family after all, and he's coming to Erin? Although he was not surprised, the tone of the tow owner was still a little surprised and full of panic, but he quickly calmed down.
"He said she was alive." Engels said.
"What do you think?"
"It can't be, she's dead, we've all seen it."
"Maybe ......" The owner of the tow car seemed to be recalling the scene of that year, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and his tone was a little weak.
"Bulma's shop was destroyed today, there was an explosion, there was a fire, no one was injured, I don't think it was an accident." Engels told him once again of an astonishing fact, and the owner of the tow car abruptly stood up and paced back and forth anxiously.
"How so? Isn't it really an accident? Engels, is that thing lost? ”
This reminds me that the Black Nest also mentioned that they took something from Bulma, the owner of the fast food restaurant.
"She said no, but she couldn't prove it, and we said that no one was allowed to look at that thing again." Engels said in a deep voice.
"It's okay, we should trust Bulma. No one but her knew where it was, and she wouldn't sue anyone. The owner of the tow car breathed a sigh of relief, but Engels was still troubled by this.
"Of course I believe in Bulma, but ...... I have to say, the power of that thing has become even stronger. Engels said gloomily: "I don't know how long I can last." You shouldn't come back, and if you don't come back, it can't get stronger. ”
"It's useless, I've understood that it's better to die than to live. Engels, you don't understand my hard work all these years. I couldn't control myself, and I sensed that the moment was near, so I came back to make a decision. Even if we don't come back, someone else will take our place, and you and I are old, and we should let everything end in our generation. The owner of the tow car turned around and began to persuade Engels: "Do you want your sons and grandsons to bear that kind of thing?" ”
But what do we do? The child's words were fulfilled one by one, remember what he said at the end? No one can help us. Engels held his head and said, "Only if we move all the people in the town, who will believe us?" The government does not allow that. ”
I closed my eyes and the scene of the two of them talking came to mind. I paraphrased their voices, tones, and movements, and Jung and Tomie began to analyze and deduce their psychology, and from this psychology we retraced the decisions of these people. This reasoning, based on psychology and known facts, is like magic, deducing the shape and color of the lost fragments, reconstructing them and placing them where they rightfully be.
The fire in the psychiatric hospital was indeed hidden, and the insiders, led by Engels, burned down the psychiatric hospital with the help of a child in order to protect the town, which was undoubtedly a crime. After that, the survivors left the town, and Engels was responsible for staying in the town to cover up what they had done, not wanting them to return to the town, because they knew that the qiē was not over.
Engels covered up the events of that year for ten years, but the recent events made him feel more and more powerless, and he seemed to have realized that he could no longer maintain the stability of the town's appearance.
He is wary of us as members of the Intelligence Bureau, not because of the confrontation between the police and the Intelligence Bureau, but because he may be familiar with the Heavenly Gate Project that Munch and Sentt are secretly carrying out. In the past few days, Marseille has come to the door, Bulma's fast food restaurant has exploded, and the owner of the trailer has also appeared inexplicably, which makes him start to waver, maybe he is wondering, is his previous behavior a kind of passive escape? He was also confused, because there was no other way for him to do so.
The owner of the tow car and many more parties returned to town, knowing that no matter how much they were in the mood to make a break with the past, it seemed that they could not avoid the outcome they feared, but they could no longer run away.
"That kid...... The child who wrote that diary was indeed a prophet. Jung said slowly: "Only a prophet who bears a heavy burden and is concerned by God can become a prophet." ”
Prophecy ...... It's hard to believe, is fate really predetermined? I couldn't help but sigh.
"When you walk on the beach, you feel that the front is flat, and you are walking alone, but when you look back, you see the trajectory of fate, which is a series of footprints left on the beach. So, you can't help but wonder if the step you take forward, or not the step you take, is it fate? Tomie lowered his voice, and the tone and rhythm felt like reading a poem aloud.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Seen in an unsigned Codex of Psychological Research. I think it's interesting. ”
"Are you sure it's psychology, not philosophy?"
"A good psychologist is a good philosopher."
"Is that so? Jung. "I looked at Jung.
Jung didn't answer, but said, "All right, raven, what else did they say?" ”
The owner of the trailer and Engels did not mention the events of those years again, and began to talk about his life over the years. Unlike Engels, who stayed in the town to become a sheriff, the tow driver did not live very happily, with little money and no female companions, wandering around alone in an RV, and doing all odd jobs. He used to be a non-drinker, but now he has become a big drunkard, his appearance and figure have changed greatly, and Engels has found the shadow of the past in him now.
Other than that, neither of them knew about the lives of the other survivors except themselves, and they never contacted each other since they left. However, the owner of the tow car said with great certainty that no matter how much wealth he had, his mental state would certainly be no different from his own. After sighing for a while, Engels said goodbye to the owner of the tow car and left some money before leaving.
"Now that you've decided, come back, where you used to live is still there." Engels said
"Ah, that's good, the keys and the deed are brought."
"I think Bulma would be happy to see you again, but you'd better look at yourself. IMHO, how long has it been since you showered? ”
"Does it smell so bad?"
"I remember you had a habit of cleanliness back then."
"Hahaha, after so many years, people will always change." The owner of the tow car grabbed the money, stuffed it into the money jar beside him, and said: "Thank you, Engels, anyway, I know what other people think of you, but we all know that you have protected this town." If you go to run for councillor, I will definitely vote for you, and with your talents, it would be a shame to stay in this town. ”
At this time, Engels had already pushed open the door of the RV, and when he heard this, he paused for a moment, did not look back, and said: "Don't be kidding, I am much more beautiful than you, everyone treats me as a hero, otherwise how do you think I became a sheriff?" ”
"Haha, I'm relieved to hear you say that, you are really still that Engels, and you are still such a stinky fart." The owner of the tow car teased.
He replied with the sound of the door shutting hard, and he lifted the curtains and saw Engels get into the car, and his head would not be raised.
It was only after Engels left that I, Tomie and Jung showed their heads and each removed the dust from their bodies. The wilderness appears dry, and although there is a puff of weeds, both the ground and the plants show a kind of dry **. The dust and smoke kicked up by the wheels filled the breeze in the gentle wind.
"Do you want to talk?" I asked.
Although the person is right in front of us, none of us is sure that he will reveal more information, depending on how much the other party trusts us. These people must have had similar intentions back then, but apparently they were disappointed by the state security apparatus they were approaching. In addition, they know that if they are not trusted, what they commit will put them all in jail. Even if they plan to find out now, this concern will not be relieved in a moment.
"Be honest, be honest, first impressions matter." Jung led the way and began to explain the attitude we should adopt when we talked.
The curtains were still closed, and we walked up the iron ladder, the sound of TV and busyness leaking out of the room, and the owner of the trailer seemed to be cooking. As soon as Jung knocked on the door, the people inside immediately shouted: "Engels? Have you changed your mind and are staying for dinner? Wait, I'll turn off the heat first. There was another rush, and in a moment the door was opened.
When Engels first arrived, the owner of the tow car only opened a crack in the door, but, probably because he had just met an acquaintance and was in a somewhat relaxed mood, this time the door opened wide, and he almost saw half of his body. His face was old, with a large bushy beard around his mouth, his head was disheveled, and his canvas overalls were stained with sauce and oil, making him look dirty and scruffy, but not as decadent as in his previous conversation.
When he realized that it was not Engels, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and before we could speak, he tried to close the door with force. Jung put his feet all the way in and pressed against the door, his strength was naturally not comparable to ordinary people, and the tow driver used the strength to eat milk, and his face was smiling.
"Who are you? What are you going to do? I don't have much to offer you here. The owner of the tow owner shouted hysterically.
"Don't be nervous, we have no ill will." Jung reached into his arms with one hand to pull out his papers, "We are intelligence ......"
But his words were overshadowed by the exclamation of the owner of the tow owner. The owner of the tow car suddenly let go, gave up and Jung the bull, turned around and ran back to the house. The door slammed open, and Jung led Tomie and me into the room, only to hear a bolt pull, and when we turned around, we saw that the owner of the tow car had taken a shotgun from nowhere and aimed it at us.
"Don't move"
"Hey, hey, don't be nervous, I said we didn't mean anything." Of course, we are not afraid of him, even if we are facing an army, we will not be nervous, but we still raise our hands to show that we are not hostile, after all, we are not here to go to war.
"Do you say that if there is no malice, there is no malice? Get your guns out. The owner of the tow car snapped.
"We don't have guns." Jung said, "I think you're mistaken, we're just here to talk about ......"
"I don't believe I know the smell of you guys. The gun is in your arms. The trailer said loudly and firmly, and then his eyes fell on me and Tomie: "And that woman, it's a soldier, right?" How can there be children? Speaking of this, he couldn't help but look puzzled.
"White-faced, female soldier, child? Who the hell are you? I don't have anything here for you to loot. ”
Tomie couldn't help but laugh.
"White-faced, Jung, he said you were white-faced. It's so much fun. ”
Jung couldn't help but roll his eyes, and there was a hint of helplessness in his stereotypical face. Let's not mention the other party's evaluation, before he reached into his arms and wanted to get the documents, but he didn't expect to be mistaken for pulling a gun. No wonder this guy is so nervous.
"Well, I said I didn't have a gun." Jung was right, I was the only one of the three of us with a revolver, "But I'm going to get my papers out now, we're from the Intelligence Bureau." ”
"The Intelligence Bureau?" The face of the owner of the tow car was a little hesitant, "What is the intelligence bureau looking for me?" ”
"Anyway, I'll take out the documents slowly, don't be nervous, how about it?" Jung said as he slowly took out his ID and showed it to the other party.
The owner of the tow car hesitated, walked up vigilantly, snatched the documents, and immediately took a few steps back, glancing at us out of the corner of his eye while examining the documents.
He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any doorways, but his nervous expression finally relaxed, and he seemed to believe in our identity. He thought about it, threw the document back, lowered the muzzle of the gun, and the atmosphere finally eased a little.
"I can't tell if it's real or fake, but it looks like it's real." The owner of the tow truck said bluntly: "Well, what did the people from the intelligence agency come to me for?" Do you want to investigate Engels? Engels was a good sheriff. ”
"Why don't you ask us to sit down? How about a glass of water if you can? Jung smiled, "You see, it's been a long time for us to find this place. ”
The owner of the tow car sighed angrily and waved his hand: "Whatever you want." With that, he turned around and went to the kitchen to pour water.
After a while, he came over with four glasses of water, all disposable plastic cups, which were placed on the table casually. I've looked at the space he lives in before, and it can only be described as cramped, compact and dirty, with no beds, clothes and adult magazines stacked on the sand, a hammock above it, and the TV opposite from it is full of noise and snowflakes, and the signal is not very good.
"Hurry up and get out of the water after drinking the water." He said unceremoniously, although he was not very strong, his attitude was very vicious and fierce, but no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was pretending.
"Excuse me, can I ask, what's your name?" Jung said.
"What are you doing about this?" The other party glared at Jung and said.
"Needed for business." Jung muttered, "If you don't want to cause trouble for Engels." ”
The owner of the tow car stared at Jung fiercely for a while, but for Jung, who was an elite of the police world, this kind of posturing was useless, and after a while, he succumbed to Jung's harsh sense of oppression.
"Thomas. My name is Thomas. Thomas realized that the person in front of him was really a bit of a preoccupation, and he couldn't help but lose his arrogance a little.
"Okay, Thomas. As I said before, we come from an unconventional security unit of the Intelligence Agency, and we are here to learn about the arson case ten years ago. Jung said, staring into Thomas' eyes.
"Arson? What an arson, that's a fire. Thomas staggered his gaze, took a sip from the glass of water, and covered his face as if he wanted to hide something, "Besides, if you want to ask about this, you should go to Engels." You've looked for him, right? ”
"Yes, we've already looked for him. But he doesn't trust us very much. Jung said.
Thomas laughed.
"So you're coming to me? I don't know how you found it...... No, it's tracking Engels, right? It's amazing that he's also being followed, and I know he's always been very careful. ”
"I feel like you can trust us."
"Then you are wrong, I trust Engels, I don't trust you." Thomas scoffed.
