Chapter 66: The Tin Man
"Shut your beak, my parents won't abandon my ......"
Saeki's voice was low, like the low roar of a female beast holding back her anger.
"Of course, this is just my speculation, who knows what happened, but ten years ago your parents were about twenty years old, and the people in the photo were at least thirty or forty years old......"
Feng Han said softly, "Can you explain to me what is going on?" ”
"I'm ......" Saeki was speechless for a moment, in fact, she had such a thought in her heart.
"Don't worry, Miss Saeki, I said before, 'Is there such a possibility', these are just my speculations......" Feng Han smiled.
"First of all, the death certificate of your parents was officially issued, and the possibility of fleeing by fraud is not high, and judging from the files recorded in the past, your parents not only have no arrears, but they are very innocent on the books, and they have a lot of savings, so I really can't think of the reason for cheating death to cover up their traces, so I think it's not that photo that is really problematic?"
"Behind the photo is a mass merchandiser in Dongshan District, and the neighborhood of that mass merchandiser is my hometown."
She had been silent, and she suddenly spoke.
"I see, it seems that Miss Saeki has the intention of cooperating with us."
"Not at all, but you seem to need my ...... badly"
The corners of Saeki's mouth pursed slightly.
"And whether I refuse or not, I'm probably going to force me to act, right? So, instead of being forced by you, I should take the initiative to cooperate, so that the treatment will be at least a little better. ”
- It's easy to talk to a smart person! Feng Han and her quickly reached a consensus, and she was probably willing to cooperate with Feng Han and them temporarily, in order to find out the truth behind a series of events.
"Of course, there is no guarantee that Saeki has the intention of hiding clues, and more likely, she just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to escape."
In a brief meeting, Li Yuanfeng expressed his views.
He didn't agree to let Saeki participate in the action, but Feng Han had his own considerations.
"So we need to pay more attention to these points, we will go to Dongshan District in the afternoon, Saeki's hometown should be in the Dongshan District, but it is an old house, and it was sold very early."
He checked the map and carefully investigated the nearby addresses.
"It should be near the 4-chome in Higashiyama, and our plan for the afternoon is like this......"
He told everyone about the plan.
"Be aware of Saeki's movements, and remember to watch out for sudden earthquakes, which are likely to be a sign of encountering those 'monsters'."
"The second one that will appear should be the so-called Tin Man."
Left Thorn swallowed a spit, it will be a monster anyway, I don't know if the veterans have a way to deal with it.
(Anyway, I don't think about that, I just need to run for my life when the time comes.) )
"That's right, if nothing else, the second monster we face will be the Tin Man, and according to the original text, the Tin Man was originally a human, because he was cast a witch spell, cut his leg, and he changed it to an iron leg, and because of the spell, he cut his other leg one after another, his hands and head, and finally forced to replace all his body."
"Sure enough, it's a fairy tale, normal people would have died a long time ago!"
Ji Ningyan simply scoffed at this kind of children's book. I didn't read much of the original work that Feng Han sent her.
"Fairy tales also have an allegorical meaning, the tin man replaced his body and got a new body, but he lost his heart."
Li Lang also returned to the team at this time, as a psychologist, he has his own unique views on the fairy tale of Oz.
"Fairy tales are not just fairy tales, they also contain the 'archetypes' of things, and in the history of the world, there have been fairy tales, legends and myths in the human cultural circle that have not communicated at all in the geographical and cultural sense, but they all have similar themes that have been handed down."
"For example, the story of brothers like "The Three Little Pigs", I don't know why, there are many younger brothers in the world who have achieved success. Stories such as throwing three magical items to stop the pursuers like "Three Talismans" are also very common in myths and legends around the world. In Jungian psychology, there is the proposition that human consciousness has nothing to do with culture, but has a common archetype of the unconscious', which is called 'archetype'. In other words, human beings have 'archetypes' in the collection of the unconscious, and human imagination has nothing to do with culture and race, but has something in common as human beings. ”
"The story of the heartless person has related metaphors in many mythological stories and fairy tales and fables, and in the novel "Fengshen", after being dissected, Bigan died because he heard that 'vegetables can live without heart, and people can die without heart'."
Li Lang has a lot of research in this regard, and he analyzed it with everyone.
"In the Russian fairy tale of the immortal Kosice, the demon king took out his heart and hid it in the belly of a donkey, so as to avoid death and obtain immortality."
"Heart, probably in ancient times, meant something like a soul!" Feng Han also has his own opinions.
"Yes, many magical fairy tales have similar concepts, according to your previous strategy, this time I am afraid that you will also have to make a strategy based on the characteristics of the Tin Man."
"However, in the fairy tale, the heart of the tin man is not in him, where can we find that heart."
"This is also the interesting part of the story of Oz, the Tin Man seems to have a heart as a human being, but after he transforms into a Tin Man, he thinks he has no heart, so where did his original heart go?"
Li Lang just smiled and didn't say anything more.
"Later in the fairy tale, the Tin Man got the heart, but it was just a fake given by Oz Sorcerer, and it just made the Tin Man think he had a heart......"
Feng Han spoke as if talking to himself.
"Perhaps, from the very beginning, the Tin Man had a heart, but even he didn't know about it."
………………
The time was around two o'clock in the afternoon, and Feng Han and the others drove out in two groups and moved in the direction of the eastern ward of Kyoto City.
Around three o'clock, they were stuck in traffic on the road because there was too much traffic in front of them.
"No, how can the car in front ......?"
It was Li Yuanfeng who was driving, and he noticed that something was wrong halfway through the drive.
It seems that the car in front is not blocked, but that there is a commotion in front of it. The crowd was loud and noisy, and there was a faint sound of gunfire.
"What's going on, gangsters fighting in the streets?"
Kuroko, one of the migrant workers, came to his senses, poked his head out of the car window, and just glanced at it, and he shouted loudly.
"Look at the ...... ahead"
It was only then that everyone noticed that at the end of the street full of vehicles, there was a behemoth moving slowly.
Not only that, but there was also a large group of men in suits who were shooting with guns raised, trying to attack the behemoth.
"Good fellow, this can't be the tin man we're looking for!"
