Chapter 64: Memory Clues
Outside the window, visibility is very low due to heavy pollution, and the air is filled with a foul smell. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Ah Shen and the three stayed in the old house of Ah Shen's parents for a long time before Poker Face took out a mahogany box from the desk.
"What's that?" Since Daji's tomb, Ah Shen has recovered some memories, vague and scattered, and even so, he still can't remember many things. The acquaintance with Poker Face and Lao Jiang made him feel that none of this was real. Lao Jiang has a strong background, and the forces behind it are so strong that Lao Jiang himself doesn't know it; Poker Face is even more of a mystery, he doesn't know his identity, Ah Shen feels that everything he is going through now, every step he takes now, is following Poker Face's footsteps, moving forward. Ah Shen shook his head and took a step back, "Who the hell are you?" ”
The poker face looked at Ah Shen, and then at Lao Jiang, without saying anything, and opened the box by himself.
"Oh, of course you'll wonder how Poker Face found your stuff with all the rage. Speaking of which, this is what I told him, let him find what your parents left behind. I've heard you say before that you put them all together in one big one
box. Is this it? Lao Jiang pretended to be surprised, patted Ah Shen's shoulder, and laughed twice, "You see you don't remember anything, can't I help you remember a lot of things?" ”
"Really?" Ah Shen said in disbelief.
"Isn't it, you see, can't you find it?" Lao Jiang avoided Ah Shen's suspicious gaze and squatted on the edge of the box. It is a large mahogany box with a lock on the front, and the lock is a plain copper lock. Poker Face walked out of the room and took a hammer in a few moments. Knock on the lock twice.
From beginning to end, Ah Shen didn't say a word beside him. Until the box came, Lao Jiang beckoned Ah Shen over and said, "Look at it, do you still have an impression of these things?" As he spoke, he winked at the poker face.
Poker Face pretended not to see it, leaned against the desk, and quietly looked at Lao Jiang and Ah Shen who were squatting in front of the box.
There are a lot of things in the box, and it looks messy. From Ah Shen's childhood toys to some unknown things. Shen took them out one by one and put them on the floor. As Shen moved them out of the box, he closed his eyes and recalled, sometimes frowning, sometimes relieved, and sometimes as if he was stuck in a memory. And just like that, after a long time, everything in the box was already lined up in front of it, taking up almost an entire room.
Lao Jiang crossed everything, stood next to the poker face, and whispered, "Do you want to take all these things away?" Or maybe you think about it and pick one or two of them. ”
Ah Shen was still looking at it, and suddenly said, "I remember this, this is my favorite toy when I was a child, and my father helped me bring it when he went to the United States." The Lego toys that Shen said were stored in a small iron box, and in terms of quantity, they were incomplete. Ah Shen held them in his arms and was reluctant to put them down for a long time. "This is my first physical model when I was a child, and I made it with my dad...... These ......" Ah Shen didn't seem to be able to think of anything else, and he held his head and pondered.
"These, I want to take them all." Ah Shen looked at the old things spread on the floor, and suddenly said, "These are very important things to me. I want to take them all with me. ”
Lao Jiang looked at the poker face in embarrassment. But Pokerface nodded without any response. He said, "Put everything in a box and take it all with you." After saying that, he first squatted down and put the things into the box one by one.
"Okay, Ah Shen, these things are originally yours, and it's okay if you want to take them. But these are useless things, when you were adopted by Yu Yue's parents when you were young, all the important things had been taken away. You see, you can pick a few useful things and take them. Lao Jiang asked tentatively.
Ah Shen stubbornly shook his head, "No, I'll take all of them away." ”
Poker Face raised his hand for a moment, and quickly continued to tidy up. Ah Shen also squatted down after speaking. Seeing this, Lao Jiang deliberately squatted between Poker Face and Ah Shen, blocked Ah Shen's sight, and said softly to Poker Face, "I'm sorry, I don't know how he can have your memory." When he walked to the door, he remembered that this was his home...... Oh no, it's your house...... Hey, it's Ah Shen's home! ”
Poker Face nodded silently and secretly tucked a notebook into his arms.
After packing up, Lao Jiang and Ah Shen carried a huge box and loaded it into the trunk. Poker said coldly, "I'll go to Duanmu Long's house first." ”
Lao Jiang wanted to stop him, but he couldn't let go of his hand, so he could only urge Ah Shen to speed up his pace while looking at the back of the poker face. When the two of them hurriedly put things away, Ah Shen scolded, "His mother, why is Poker Face embarrassed to leave us two to do coolies." ”
Old Jiang glanced at him obliquely, "It's me who does the coolies, these are all your things." After speaking, he felt that he had said the wrong thing, looked at the box stuffed in the trunk, and sighed secretly in his heart, "Let's go." ”
"We're looking for Duanmu Long to clean up that corpse merman, what are we going to do in this smoky place?" The more Shen walked forward, the more he kept retreating.
"If you want to leave, it's still too late." Lao Jiang didn't want to be polite to him at all. I don't know where to come out, pretending that Ah Shen is still pretending to be quite similar. He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was taken for Ah Shen on the basis of why he came out, didn't Yu Yue suspect that this person was just dressed or wearing a mask? "Ah Shen." Lao Jiang stopped Ah Shen.
Ah Shen walked ahead, walking carefully, and complained, "Is Duanmu Long's house already flooded with garbage, why is it that the further you go, the more garbage there is, and the worse the environment?" Suddenly hearing Lao Jiang call him, he turned back in a daze. As soon as he turned around, he was greeted by Lao Jiang's big hand, and Lao Jiang's hand slid from his neck all the way to his face. Ah Shen was shocked by Lao Jiang's nonsensical movements, and he was stunned and didn't fight back, but Lao Jiang still touched his face all over again. My heart was on fire, "Your mother, are you teasing me in broad daylight?!" ”
Lao Jiang smiled, the touch on his hands was still there, smooth and without any traces of wearing a human skin mask, could it be that he had plastic surgery? "I see that your skin is good, so touch it."
Ah Shen was noncommittal, "Where is your good, oily and watery, the skin is oily and slippery, which is comparable to our rough skin and thick flesh." With that, he turned around to leave.
"Ah Shen, is that scar still on your body?"
"Which scar? Usually go up and down the mountain, there are really a lot of scars on the body, I don't know which one you are talking about? ”
"That scar on the knee of the right leg. Only then did I remember that the scar was still here. ”
Ah Shen didn't doubt Lao Jiang's thoughts, and lifted up his trouser legs, "Is this it?" ”
Lao Jiang squatted down to see that on Ah Shen's right knee, there was a long white scar, which was different from the white of the skin. Lao Jiang was embarrassed, "Oh, yes, it's this scar." ”
"You're really weird today, like you're checking your identity. Actually, don't say it's you, I also feel strange about my own identity, obviously I don't remember anything, but there are so many people who remember me, reminding me every minute that I am the omnipotent Dr. Shen from heaven to earth. Yu Yue even forced me to see the brain specialist, called ...... I don't remember what it was called, but the man was troublesome anyway. I did a lot of tests, and finally I was told that I had no illness. ”
Lao Jiang was immersed in his own thoughts, "Poker face, regardless of personality, knowledge, and skill, is Ah Shen, and I can tell my unique experience with him...... But this Ah Shen, whether it is the traces on his body or the memories recovered little by little, are also Ah Shen's ......"
"Poker Face is there." Ah Shen ran to Poker Face, as if to say something to him. The poker face is the same height as Ah Shen, and through the haze, Lao Jiang couldn't see clearly for a moment which was the poker face and which was Ah Shen.
"What is this?" Ah Shen picked up a newspaper from the door and read it.
On the front page of the newspaper was a few big words: "713 Train Passenger Kidnapping Incident"
"I know this is a big case in 1996. At that time, all the passengers of the Liberation were kidnapped and taken to Maijishan. Not to mention this, what did Poker Face find? ”
"Nothing, but ...... Do you still remember, in what year Duanmu Long left the Ninth Ring Block? Poker Face looked at the newspaper and asked suddenly.
"My dad moved out of the Ninth Ring Road when he got married, and he rarely saw Duanmu Long after that...... I still remember that at that time, he was not called Duanmu Long, but ......, in short, the surname Duanmu should have been adopted by the family who adopted him. Lao Jiang recalled carefully and wondered. I don't know what Duanmu Long took from here when he came back. He looked at Sen Sen's old mansion, Duanmu Long's hometown was even more dilapidated than Ah Shen's house. "It's no wonder that no one has been to this house since Duanmulong left."
"Where's his parents?" Ah Shen asked.
"It was because of the train kidnapping case that Duanmulong's parents were killed by the kidnappers, and he was the only one left." Lao Jiang said, "After this, Duanmu Long was taken away. ”
"Let's go first." Poker Face was the first to go back.
"I'm gone, too, and if I stay a little longer, I'll probably be stunning."
Lao Jiang chuckled, "It seems that I will really have to wear a gas mask next time." ”
"Is there a next time?" Ah Shen said in horror, "This kind of place, once in a lifetime is too much, I finally understand that the reason why this place is no longer planned, and what is most lacking now is not a residential area or a commercial area, but a garbage dump." ”
"In any case, these are all left over from history, and it's a pity that they are polluted like this......" Lao Jiang sighed.
"What's this, utilitarian speaking, these are things that life doesn't bring to death, and the place where the living occasionally come to hang out, except for increasing some braggart, it's really useless, it's better to be a garbage dump." Ah Shen walked fast when he complained, and soon overtook the poker face. Poker Face walked ahead of them, as if thinking about something. Just as Shen overtook him, Poker Face suddenly walked back and picked up the newspaper that had fallen in front of the door again.
