Chapter 8: Grievances of the Year
Huang Jun suddenly said: "Listen, I think that Zhang Houbo and Mr. Wu are not just acquaintances."
Shu Yao said: "What, why did you think of it again?" I think Mr. Wu and Zhang Houbo must know each other, but if there are other things between them, then, is that really possible? In the end, Shu Yao was not even sure about himself.
Huang Jun said, "When we talk about Zhang Houbo, Mr. Wu's reaction is too strange, that is not the reaction that a normal person should have, even if he will express surprise at Zhang Houbo's life, but there will never be such a look of panic, there must be something we didn't think of."
"So, what are you going to do next?" Shu Yao said.
"I want to check this Zhang Houbo first, to see what his identity is, and then we will find an opportunity to meet Mr. Wu," Huang Jun said.
Shu Yao frowned and said: "I don't agree with your thoughts, first, he is my client, even if there is anything between him and Zhang Houbo, it is his business, it has nothing to do with us, we have no right to interfere, you know, we are not real police, we can't control so many things." Second, our main energy now is to figure out the secrets of this reservoir, why those people came back from the dead, and the matter between Zhang Houbo and Mr. Wu is not the point, but will distract us, don't you really think about this? ”
Huang Jun smiled: "Yes, can't I really think of this?" Or do you really think I'm a nosyman? ”
Shu Yao said: "How do I know what madness you are making, in short, what do you think, tell me?" Shu Yao sometimes doesn't know what Huang Jun thinks in his heart, but at this juncture, she can't let it go.
"I suspect, I suspect that the matter between Zhang Houbo and Mr. Wu will involve the secrets of the reservoir, and the secrets of the reservoir are related to how those people disappeared back then, don't you want to know?" Huang Jundao.
"You mean there's a connection??" Shu Yao opened her mouth wide, she had never thought about this, nor did she think that there would be any secrets related to the reservoir in a person who had died, before Shu Yao thought about it, maybe the only secret between Zhang Houbo and the reservoir was that he was resurrected with the help of the power of the reservoir, but now he has been resurrected, and he may not know how he came back to life, in a sense, Zhang Houbo has lost his value, plus Mr. Wu is her customer, she doesn't want to be embarrassed. But Huang Jun's words made her fall into deep thought.
After a long while, Shu Yao said, "How sure are you?" Shu Yao didn't ask Huang Jun why he thought of it, because she knew that Huang Jun would always speculate based on some inexplicable things, and these things seemed unreasonable to outsiders.
Huang Jun thought about it seriously and said, "Not much, forty percent, for the time being, I can only think of so much, if I want something more detailed, I need to investigate"
Shu Yao said: "You can investigate Zhang Houbo's matter, and I will continue to follow up on the matter of the reservoir, so that even if you don't have any clues on your side, we won't waste time."
Huang Jun said: "You really don't have any confidence in me? ”
Shu Yao said: "This has nothing to do with faith, it's just that we can't afford to waste time, okay, that's it, okay, I'll be the master this time."
Huang Jun nodded helplessly, what else could he say, this matter involved her relatives, no matter what aspect it was, Huang Jun should respect Shu Yao's thoughts.
Three days later, when Huang Jun appeared in front of Shu Yao again, Shu Yao found that Huang Jun's face was gloomy and terrifying, this kind of subdued Shu Yao had never seen it on Huang Jun's face, at that moment, Shu Yao couldn't imagine that there would be someone in this world and something that made Huang Jun have such an expression.
"What's wrong?" Shu Yao immediately asked, as soon as the question came out, Shu Yao regretted it in his heart, maybe with Huang Jun's current mood, he might not be able to answer his question.
To her surprise, Huang Jun replied, but replied very politely, "It's nothing, I feel very bad now"
"What? Hit a setback? Or did you find nothing? I said it a long time ago, that clue is a waste of time," Shu Yao said.
Huang Jun shook his head and said: "On the contrary, it's not that I haven't found anything, but I have found too much, and because of this, I am unhappy, if, if I had known this, then I should have left Zhang Houbo behind."
Shu Yao said: "What's going on, let's listen to it slowly"
Huang Jun said, "This Zhang Houbo is not simple, well, the surname Wu is not simple, there must be some secret between them, but I don't know what this secret is, that Zhang Houbo died twenty years ago like the one surnamed Wu"
"Is it true that he is not dead at all?" Shu Yao said.
"No, it's true, it's dead, it's too dead to be dead anymore, the information shows that he drowned, just a dozen years ago," Huang Jun said.
"Drowned? It can't be in this reservoir," Shu Yao said.
"You guessed it, it's true, he drowned in this reservoir, more than ten years ago," Huang Jun said.
Shu Yao noticed that Huang Jun's tone was different, and suddenly said, "What do you mean, don't you mean that Zhang Houbo is related to that group of missing people?" ”
"Actually, I carefully checked the archives of that year, how to say, at first I thought he was drowned, but then I was not sure," Huang Jun said.
"Didn't you say he couldn't die anymore? Why are you not sure? Shu Yao said.
"You listen to me, I said that he died so much that he couldn't die anymore, because I saw his photo in the file, to be precise, it was a photo of his body, the photo was taken in detail, it seems that he could not survive from the photo, I still have this confidence, and the file does record that he drowned, Mr. Wu underestimated us, he thought we couldn't find those information, no wonder, even if those information is in the police archives, it is a secret, but I still found it, this is my first impression, My first impression was that Mr. Wu had lied to us, and Zhang Houbo drowned," Huang Jun said.
"Don't you think it's right? What made you overturn this conclusion?? Shu Yao said.
"Because then I was thinking about a question, a question I couldn't understand, you said that Zhang Houbo always died in the end, but why did Mr. Wu hide the time of Zhang Houbo's death? He wanted to hide something, and, I suspect, Zhang Houbo never seemed to be dead," Huang Jun said.
When Shu Yao heard Huang Jun's "not dead", he didn't know why, he suddenly felt cold all over, and said, "What are you talking about, how can people not be dead?"
Huang Jun said: "I know that what I said is difficult to understand, in fact, it is difficult for me to understand myself, but I speculate from some clues that in the past ten years, Zhang Houbo may have come out to act."
"Ever been active? How could a dead person ever be active? How so? Shu Yao said.
"I checked the time and found that the time of Zhang Houbo's drowning was exactly a week after the disappearance of those people, when there was no large-scale immigration here, but the disappearance here aroused the suspicion of the police, so the police came here to explore, that is, in this process, they found Zhang Houbo's body, from the autopsy, it was indeed drowned, and at the same time they also did some investigation into the social relations around Zhang Houbo, and found that this Zhang Houbo was an orphan and had no relatives, What is surprising is that Mr. Wu, who did not know him at that time, took the initiative to propose to the police to bring back Zhang Houbo's body and bury it, although the police felt strange, but they did not pursue it too much, mainly because they were occupied by those missing cases, and they did not bother with this matter, just Mr. Wu made such a request, and the police met him. Then the grave appeared, on the edge of the reservoir. But the strange thing is that there were a few times later, someone saw a man who looked very Zhang Houbo coming out of Mr. Wu's house, of course, just those few times, and he never saw it again" Huang Jundao said.
"Maybe they're dazzled?" Shu Yao said.
"This kind of thing, if one person is dazzled, it is naturally possible, but it is impossible for everyone to be dazzled," Huang Jun said.
"But don't you think it's strange? Since this Zhang Houbo is an orphan, why do others know him? Shu Yao raised a doubt.
"I also thought of your suspicion, I also thought it was strange at the time, it is said that Zhang Houbo is just an orphan, no one knew him before, it should not be said that someone would have such a strong impression of him, but then I don't doubt it, because I found a strange phenomenon, that is, the newspaper did a wide range of reports on Zhang Houbo's affairs, and also published photos, maybe in their opinion, a corpse that appeared inexplicably was very entertaining, and this incident also caused a lot of sensation at the time, The main reason is that the newspaper also linked Zhang Houbo's death to the disappearance of those people, of course, I read that report, and it was very far-fetched, but people are for entertainment, and it can be understood" Huang Jundao.
"So, this Zhang Houbo is mysterious enough," Shu Yao nodded.
"Who's to say it's not, and I have a guess," Huang said.
"What speculation?" Shu Yao said.
"I think the disappearance of those people may be really inseparable from Zhang Houbo and Mr. Wu," Huang Jun said.
"Didn't you just say that the report was far-fetched?" Shu Yao said puzzled, but she was used to Huang Jun's inconsistent speech, and knew that he must have something to say.
"I said that, but I just said that the report was far-fetched, but I didn't doubt their conclusions, because the matter itself is interesting," Mr. Huang said.
"Do you have any definite reason?" Shu Yao said.
"It's about that legend, it's the legend of the Last Judgment," Huang said.
