73, Xiao Zhu's death
125
The memory of a year ago is like a bolt from the blue. It's enough to tear it all apart and destroy it.
Zhong Xin struggled to break free from his memory.
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, the subconscious self-protection function was turned on, and he seemed unusually calm.
"How?" Deng Yi frowned suspiciously, "Didn't you think of anything?" Hypnosis didn't work at this point in time a year ago?"
Zhong Xian shook his head.
He chose to keep quiet about Deng Yisan.
Deng Yi thought with a regretful expression:
"It seems that you can only choose one of the first two points in time......"
Zhong Xian replied without waiting for Deng Yi to finish: "16 years old." From the very beginning......"
A year ago, although he really wanted to know the truth. But this is to risk being seen through by Deng Yi, which is obviously not a wise move. Moreover, in his memory, Dake is obviously the one in the know, and he can completely understand it from Dake.
Although Zhong Xin was very cooperative, the progress after that was not as smooth as beforeβDeng Yi could no longer hypnotize him no matter what. Zhong Xian knew in his heart that he could no longer enter the state.
"Forget it. I'm so tired today. Let's have a good rest, maybe tomorrow ......," he offered.
Deng Yi agreed.
Zhong Xian took advantage of the bath and hid in the bathroom to call Dake. He turned on the shower and sat down on the toilet.
"Are you still in Hangzhou?" Dake's first reaction when he received Zhong Xian's call was that he thought Zhong Xian had returned, "Didn't you say a week?" How can it be so fast? β
"Didn't ...... back" The sound of the bell strings was like shivering from the cold.
"Oh...... How about Hangzhou, it's cold...... How about the meeting, and meet a lot of useful customers...... Why don't you speak, I'm following up on the second inspection of the construction site...... "Dake don't say a lot of words, and finally feel that something is wrong." "What's wrong?"
Zhong Xian felt that his whole body had no strength: "My memory is much worse than I think. Did you already know? β
"You've been a bit forgetful lately. I know that. That's all. Dake replied.
Zhong Xian said slowly: "Is it just in the near future?" I forgot the things you know......"
"For example, what?"
Zhong Xian decided to say his guess directly: "You know it in your heart...... So, when I drank the medicine of the old Chinese medicine, when I had hallucinations - I saw Xiao Zhu being killed by a keel...... You wanted to strangle me. That's not my hallucination. You wanted to really strangle me. β
"What are you talking about? You ...... "Dake is in a hurry."
"Listen to me." Zhong Xian interrupted him, "I'm going to tell you bad news - I remembered that. On the day Xiao Zhu disappeared, the last phone call he made to me with his mobile phone was actually made by you. β
Dake said quickly: "Zhong, you scared me. Are you insane? β
"What happened before that? You and me, what did the two of us do to Xiao Zhu!? The strangest thing is how I lost this part of my memory! Zhong Xian pounded his head with a fist, feeling crazy.
Dake gasped loudly on the other side, and then said, "Since you ...... How did you come up with it? β
"It's up to me to ask you, how could I forget! Such an important thing. β
"I can tell you. I don't know how you could forget, you met someone, you fainted, do you remember that time you fainted? You wake up and don't remember. To be honest, I'm envious that you can forget. Dake said. You don't have to suffer from this anymore. You keep asking me why my personality has changed over the years, and you always ask me why I can't be as happy as I used to be, always neurotic and suspicious, because I can't be as ...... as you"
"Getting to the point!" The bell strings roared. "Don't talk so much nonsense now!"
"I am the one who is really tormented! Bell. Dake said with a crying voice.
"Did we really kill Xiao Zhu?"
"Didn't you remember?" Dake said excitedly, "Don't you know everything!" Actually, you didn't think about it, it must be that Deng Yi, he guided you, I guess he was also in Hangzhou, right? Isn't it? If you think about it, you won't ask like that! β
"And what should I ask?" Zhong Xin had a hunch that the truth could be even worse. I couldn't help but start shaking again.
"Because, it wasn't us who killed him......" Dake's tone suddenly slowed, "It's not us ......"
"Do you still want to deny it? I really remembered, albeit only a little, but at least it proves that we did it! You said you destroyed his documents and his phone......"
"Yes. Be. Be. Dake repeatedly agreed, "Yes." β
"So why deny it?"
Dake said, "If I say it, I'll tell you...... It's okay, you can accompany me to suffer. We tie ...... together."
"Say!" The bell strings are in a hurry. "Why do you want to hide it from me!"
"It wasn't us who killed him." Dake's voice looked painful. "It's you. Only you. And I'm ...... Just to help you, to help you with all I can. Zhong, I am willing to carry such a big matter with you, if the matter is revealed, I will be implicated, but I still did that at that time, and chose to help you hide it. β
Zhong Xian was speechless. After a while, he said weakly, "This can't be." It's impossible...... Why should I kill him? β
"I don't know why, I really don't know. By the time I arrived, he had collapsed in the gutter. Dake said sadly.
"Didn't I say anything to you? Didn't I tell you a reason to kill?" Zhong Xian said.
"You said a strange reason - you said you met someone. A devil. Just say that, and you drive away. When I find you again, you're fainting in the rain. Wake up and forget about it. I've tried it many times, and I'm finally convinced that you've really forgotten. Later, I thought it would be okay to do that. It's easier to hide it if I'm the only one who hides it. So, Zhong, I can carry such a thing as killing people with you, am I not the person you should trust the most? That Deng Yi ......"
"What does it have to do with him? Why do you always ostracize others, everyone! "Zhong Xian can't bear it. After roaring, he suddenly began to understand.
"You killed Xiao Zhu, you said that you met a devil at the construction site, and Deng Yi, didn't you suspect that he had something to do with that construction site from the beginning? Later, it was determined that he was Party A at the construction site. I've always wanted to find out who the so-called devil you have encountered! β
"It must not be him." The bell string struck his head in pain. "Why should I kill Xiao Zhu, it doesn't make sense."

When Zhong Xian came out of the bathroom, Deng Yi was already dressed and standing on the porch waiting for him.
"I'm going to go out for a while. My brothers have something to do with me. Deng Yi looked at the lost bell string. It may take some time. β
"There's no need to hide from me anymore." Zhong Xian responded coldly. He felt like he was going to die, and he lost his vitality. "I'll go. Leave you. Won't harass you anymore. β
Deng Yi looked at Zhong Xian from a distance, then put down the leather bag in his hand and walked in front of him: "Your face is suddenly so bad, are you uncomfortable?"
"I'm dead. Would you care?" Zhong Xian asked thoughtlessly. "I'm gone, will you be indifferent?"
Deng Yi touched his forehead: "I have a fever." Could it be that there was something wrong with what I just did? β
Zhong Xian grabbed Deng Yi's hand: "You just treat me as if I was dying." Be honest with me. You really don't care......" He lost his voice for a moment, lowered his head and slowed down for a moment to continue asking, "...... Don't you really want me?"
Deng Yi wanted to withdraw his hand, but Zhong Xian hugged him. "Promise me, promise me...... Just once, let me get it. I'll just disappear. No more harassing you. β
"Inch by inch." Deng Yi chuckled softly.
"Really, what I said is true." Zhong Xian said sadly.
Deng Yi broke free from him: "Meatballs, don't always use the same way to play scoundrels." It's really time for me to go. β

Late at night, the lights get lazy.
Zhong Xian sat alone in a drink shop next to the synagogue. He hasn't gone to Hangzhou yet. Because of Deng Yi, he pushed away all of Mr. Gao's play plans.
Zhong Xian couldn't believe that Xiao Zhu's death was related to him. When he was in a hurry, Dake called again.
"I'm on the plane right away." Dake said hurriedly on the other side of the phone. "Where are you in Hangzhou? Don't, don't say I shouldn't go, I have to tell you in person, I can't communicate about this on the phone anymore, just in case. You must not reveal the slightest sign to anyone. Let's talk about it in person, shall we? Zhong, you must be calm. β
"I'm so calm." The bell string inhaled the drink continuously and non-stop. "It's almost freezing cold. What's the use of you coming?"
A figure walked past the door of the beverage store, and Zhong Xian was stunned for a moment. He actually saw that figure as Deng Yi. When Deng Yi left, he was obviously wearing a short leather coat, but the person who had just passed by was wearing a long black coat.
Just as he shook his head, the figure turned back and walked into the drink shop.
Zhong Xian was stunned again, looking at this person from the side, he did look like Deng Yi, but he wore a pair of glasses, which looked better than Deng Yi. And he is obviously older than Deng Yi, and his body is thicker.
Zhong Xian immediately realized that this was one of Deng Yi's elder brothers. also quickly remembered that he had stopped this person's car in front of Zhao Qi's bar.
He is Deng Wei - Deng Yi's fourth brother!
"A latte." Deng Keng said to the waiter. He glanced around the store, then stood sideways to the bell.
Zhong Xian's eyes widened and kept looking - he couldn't imagine that Deng Yi's cousin was more like Deng Yi's own brother, they were too similar - not only in appearance, but even in temperament. Looking at Deng Yi, you can imagine what Deng Yi will look like a few years later.
Deng Wei is extremely elegant, his demeanor is calm and full of wisdom, and he is even more of a leader! For a moment, Zhong Xian felt that Deng Yi had no hope of being the heir. It will be difficult for him to surpass Deng Wei.
While Zhong Xian was thinking wildly, Deng Wei turned his head and smiled at him. Zhong Xian was startled and almost fell out of his chair.
"Let's get acquainted." Deng Wei spoke. His voice was much deeper than Deng Yi's. Every word is like a hammer hammer striking at the heart of a bellstring.
Zhong Xian nodded. His heart was beating wildly, he didn't understand why he was so panicked, he seemed to be scared to death.
Deng Wei's aura is powerful for all to see, but the deterrent power is so amazing, but it is greatly beyond Zhong Xian's expectations.
"Do you know?" Deng Wei continued to ask. He was still smiling, but the fear he felt was undiminished.
Zhong Xian nodded again, unable to speak.
