Chapter 10: Death (9)
The information from No. 82 is probably how Li Xiaoyue's parents died in a car accident, as well as the photos and family background of her parents when they were young. Until Zhou Ji saw the last old black and white photo.
It was a very ordinary black and white photograph from the last century. The person in the photo is wearing a cheongsam with a fan in his hand, with short curly hair that was popular among women during the Anti-Japanese War, thick powder and a clever smile, thin lips, slender Danfeng eyes and round cheeks show a natural self-confidence and beauty, looking at the age of the girl in the photo, it is about 14.5 years old.
But it was such a casual glance that made Zhou Ji explode all of a sudden.
These eyebrows, eyes, outlines, and facial features are somewhat genetically similar to the dead Li Xiaoyue, but they look almost exactly the same as this Li Xiaoyue who is now in a mental hospital! If the girl in the photo is too young to be compared with a 35-year-old middle-aged woman, no matter how old a person is, unless she is disfigured, her facial features will not change much, after all, there is a saying that people look old from childhood.
But this photo, in addition to being a little old, is a portrayal of this 'Li Xiaoyue' who came out of nowhere when he was a child!
Zhou Ji trembled and turned the photo back to No. 82: "Where did you get this picture?" Who is it? ”
"It's Li Xiaoyue's grandmother, who has always been called Li, and her real name is no longer available. Born in 1926 in Beiping. If he were still alive, he would be 91 years old. ”
"What does it mean to be alive now?"
"Ah, Lee is missing. Three years ago, after the death of her granddaughter Li Xiaoyue, she was reported missing by the village committee. ”
Hearing this, the bits and pieces of information in Zhou Ji's mind had been almost pieced together, and he only felt cold and creepy all over his body. He couldn't believe that his speculation was true, because he was the number one and very famous. The name of the brothel she was in was.... Hey? It's also called the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion? ”
Zhou Ji's brain buzzed, and he couldn't see anything.
The last sentence of No. 82 firmly proves that Zhou Ji's speculations that he can't believe are all true.
No wonder Li Xiaoyue spoke so strangely, she actually called him a young man who was not a few years younger than her, and also called herself the number one brand of the Drunken Xiang Pavilion. Zhou Ji had always felt that this person was just trying to hide the truth, but he didn't expect her to point to the truth in a vague way, but it was so weird that people couldn't think of it at all!
So this Li Xiaoyue, who replaced the dead Li Xiaoyue, is not a foreigner who has appeared out of nowhere and has a suspicious identity and has undergone plastic surgery, but is really born and raised in China, but she is an old man a century ago. And it is very likely that after she suddenly became dozens of years younger, she replaced her dead granddaughter and continued to live quietly as a young man, and successfully married a scavenger she had long known would become a billionaire as his wife!
How could such a thing happen in the world?!
Zhou Ji felt a little dizzy, and his legs were unsteady and leaned against the iron railing of the sanatorium. For a while, he suddenly accepted too many unbelievable things that were more unbelievable than the supernatural events he had been exposed to before and couldn't digest them, and he only felt that the three views he had always established were destroyed in an instant.
"Ringing ringing!" "Ringing ringing!"
The sudden ringing of the bell interrupted Zhou Ji's self-melancholy. He picked up his phone and saw that the number was still unknown. It seems that it should be Wang Yao or Yue Zhi's call, after all, Li Tang was in a mess just now, and it is impossible to call again.
"Hello?" Zhou Ji answered the phone and said tiredly. "Who is it?"
"Hey, it's me." The voice on the other end of the phone was also tired, and the gloomy voice made Zhou Ji not hear who it was for a while.
“... Who is it? Zhou Ji had to ask again.
"I, Li Tang."
"Li Tang?" Zhou Ji's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect that the most unlikely person would call him at this time, how could this person be free at this time? So he asked eagerly, "Why did you call me?" How's the suspect over there? Didn't you just shout that something had happened, are you dead or crazy? Don't have anything you need to deal with right now? ”
“... I don't need to deal with it anymore. Li Tang changed his frivolous attitude in the face of the most serious tasks in the past, and sighed, "Suspect, he is not dead, and he is not crazy." ”
"Oh... Well, that's a good thing. Zhou Ji breathed a sigh of relief. It's good if it's not a big deal... Did you ask what happened from the suspect's mouth again? ”
“... Well. However, the suspect is no longer there. ”
"What? What does it mean that the suspect is not there? Zhou Ji didn't react for a while, and said strangely, "Didn't you say that she didn't die?" She's not there, where is she not? ”
"Taken away." Li Tang said gloomily.
"Taken? Taken by whom? Zhou Ji became impatient, "What's wrong with you?" What are you doing? I've known you for 10 years, what's the matter with you all of a sudden? Why don't you just talk to me? ”
Faced with Zhou Ji's anxiety, Li Tang answered the question:
"Zhou Ji, it's time for me to leave too."
"Let's go? Where are you going? Grass, what the hell are you trying to say? Zhou Jihuo, "Can you fucking talk well?" ”
Li Tang's head suddenly fell silent. A few seconds later, there was another sigh.
"Zhou Ji... You, don't check it again. ”
"What do you say?" Zhou Ji said angrily, "What are the identities of you and me?" If you don't do it, you can stop doing it? Hey, I said, what's wrong with you? It was fine just now, why is it that in the blink of an eye, it is going to die? ”
Li Tang's side was silent again.
"! Speak! ”
“... Zhou Ji. There was a faint voice on the other end of the line. Black Books is not something we can explore. No human being is qualified for this. .... I learned so much from the girl after her brief awakening in a coma, so I had to... Gotta go. For a lot of things you can't know.... Zhou Ji, don't blame me for not telling you anything. But you're not like me as an orphan, and you have a younger sister, so I'll ask you for one thing... Please, no matter what you think, be sure to get out of this task! ”
"What are you talking about Li Tang? You are crazy? How can we..."Before Zhou Ji could understand the meaning of Li Tang's words, the busy sound of Dudu hanging up had already reached his ears. And when he dialed the internal phone again, it was no longer available.
"Grass!" Zhou Ji scolded, he had roughly guessed that Li Tang had an accident, but he hated that he couldn't do anything, so he said viciously, "Since you said that we can't explore, then I have to find out and show you!" Black Book Company, if you don't investigate to the end, I will not give up! ”
