No matter how weird and mysterious Qing Shui Liang is, he is a human being after all, not a god. The moon halo knows the wind, and the foundation runs and knows the rain, as long as it is a person, there are always traces to be found in this world. Kim Dae-so begins a full-scale investigation of Shimizu Ryou.

What exactly was found and what information was collected, Kim Dae-so did not tell Lao Zhang Lao Jia. Lao Zhang and Lao Jia are just two helpers hired by him, and they have to do whatever the boss tells them to do. On this day, Kim Dae-so received a private detective tip, saying that Qing Shui Liang suddenly entered Chinese mainland and went to the countryside of Zhengzhou, Henan, as if he was going to visit someone.

Lao Zhang and Lao Jia are land-sitting households in Chinese mainland, and it is logical that they received an order from Kim Dae-so to go to Zhengzhou to see what this Qing Shui Liang was going to do. When the two of them arrived in the countryside of Zhengzhou, they changed their clothes, their temperament immediately changed, they drove a broken car, and they claimed to be vegetable merchants. After staying in the village for two days, I finally found out the purpose of Ryo Shimizu.

Shimizu Liang used a fake name at that time to name Wang Ping, and he went to visit an old man in the countryside who was in his nineties. This old man is a bit evil, he is over 90 years old, his eyes are not deaf, his ears are not flowery, his back is not collapsed, his back is not confused, and his thinking is clear. The strangest thing is that he is actually full of black hair, with new teeth in his mouth, and he sits under the eaves wall to bask in the sun every day.

Lao Zhang and Lao Jia were very puzzled, and they didn't know what Qing Shui Liang wanted to do with this person. They didn't know anything about Ryo Shimizu, so they knew that it was a Japanese. Instead of being alarmed, they investigated privately and finally found out one thing.

This old man had a rough life and went through almost the entire modern history. In his life experience, the only thing that can be linked to the Japanese happened more than half a century ago. When he was young, the old man was bewitched by Japanese propaganda, signed up for a stuffy tanker, and was dragged to Manchuria to work as a laborer. It's three or four years. The family thought that this person must be dead, and there would be a life in the hands of the Japanese?

Who knew that four years after he left, this unknown person suddenly returned to his hometown. It caused a strong sensation in Shili Eight Villages. From distant Manchuria, from the hands of the brutal Japanese, he was able to come back alive, and there was not a single one in those thousands of miles. Everyone went to inquire about him, but the old man was very strict-mouthed and did not say anything about what happened in Manchuria.

The years have passed, and this matter has passed. He once again attracted the attention of the people around him, and when he reached the age of eighty, he was still in good health, and he climbed the mountain every day, and his physical strength was almost catching up with that of a good young man. Everyone talked about it, saying that this thing in the world is simply impossible to say, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. People were captured and tortured by the Japanese for several years, but in exchange for a long life. Many old people have never suffered a crime in their lives, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but they hang up at the age of fifty or sixty. There's no reason for this thing.

Lao Zhang and Lao Jia saw these materials and preliminarily concluded that Qing Shui Liang came to visit this old man, probably for the sake of Manchurian laborers decades ago. These two people deduced from the conspiracy theories unique to the underworld that if Qing Shui Liang's trip to Zhengzhou was just to understand that history, then it would be impossible for Kim Dae-so to spend a huge amount of money to hire the two of them to follow up and investigate. There must be a demon when things are abnormal, since Kim Dae-so is willing to spend so much money, it shows that Qing Shui Liang has a secret that is not known to outsiders.

What's the secret?

Judging by the two of them out of professional habits, Ryo Shimizu was probably looking for a treasure. This treasure was hidden by the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, and this old man from the countryside was probably one of the laborers who buried the treasure back then. At that time, the parties were almost dead, and only this old man may still remember the address of the treasure back then. And Kim Dae-so didn't know how to know this information, so he asked the two of them to follow Qing Shui Liang, and a praying mantis fluttering cicada and yellow finch followed.

Lao Zhang and Lao Jia analyzed it and felt that this inference was really very possible. The two of them have a hard time, these two people have no work ethic, they have also done black and black, and they made a calculation in their hearts at the moment, if they can successfully get the treasure address, they will immediately get rid of Kim Dae-so and do it alone.

Lao Zhang and Lao Jia made a division of labor, Lao Jia stared at Qing Shui Liang specifically, while Lao Zhang visited the old man privately to see if he could take out any useful information.

Speaking of this, Lao Zhang sighed and extinguished the cigarette butt on the trunk of the tree.

I had already made a judgment and tried to say, "Brother Zhang, that old man is the laborer who built this secret base of the Japanese army back then, right?" ”

Lao Zhang nodded, his eyes were a little distant: "When I saw the old man, what he said to me, I still can't forget." Thinking about it at this time, it may have a deep meaning. ”

At that time, Lao Zhang came to this small farm yard, and he had already greeted the family and bought a lot of gifts. The old man's family opened their eyes when they saw the money and promised to leave space for him and the old man to talk alone.

At the base of the wall of the small courtyard, Lao Zhang moved a small bench and sat opposite the old man, chatting at first: "Uncle, are you in good health?" ”

The old man didn't speak for a long time, sat on a wicker chair, and looked at the gate with a dull gaze.

Lao Zhang asked again, but the old man still didn't react. At this time, the old man's granddaughter-in-law brought tea to the guests. Lao Zhang took the opportunity to ask her, what's wrong with the old man?

The granddaughter-in-law sighed: "Grandpa is often like this, in a daze. At first, we thought it was Alzheimer's, but sometimes he spoke and communicated very methodically, not like dementia, and his clear thinking was not inferior to us young people. Maybe people are old and love to remember things. ”

Lao Zhang had a plan in his heart, if this old man was so difficult to communicate, then Qing Shui Liang would probably return in vain.

Lao Zhang drank tea and said a few words to the old man, but the old man still didn't say a word, staring at the door in a daze. Lao Zhang was a little impatient, if this was a young man, he would probably think of another way to pull him into the corner and beat him up to see if he could make a move. But this is an old man, and he can't be beaten or scolded.

He put down the tea and was about to leave, when suddenly the old man said something.

Lao Zhang didn't hear it clearly at first, the old man used a local dialect, which was very rough and vague. He sat back on the bench and looked at the old man: "Old man, what did you just say?" ”

"How can a person die?" What the old man said this time, he heard clearly.

Lao Zhang told me that at that moment, his scalp suddenly went numb, and he couldn't help but glance at the courtyard gate. Why do you want to watch the door, why do you want to be suddenly afraid, and he doesn't know what to do.

Lao Zhang reacted and said lightly: "Suicide, suicide can be dead." ”

The old man turned his head slowly, his eyes were not cloudy like the other old men, but clear, deep and black. He looked at Lao Zhang: "Can you help me die?" ”

Lao Zhang laughed dryly, this joke is really not funny. He said casually: "I can help you die, but you have to tell the secret of the year." ”

At this moment, suddenly his mobile phone rang, and Lao Jia's voice was very urgent: "Hurry up!" I've been discovered by Ryo Shimizu, and this person is very good at anti-tracking. He saw me, and was now heading towards the old man's yard. ”

Lao Zhang originally wanted to leave, but when he thought about it, he was afraid of a dick, and he wanted to see what this Japanese wanted to do. He stood up, and behind the old man was the kitchen, and he slipped into it and closed the wire mesh door again. Inside, the black ones also covered their own figures.

The waiting time was not long, and a person walked in from the outside, it was Qing Mizu. He approached the old man and said, "377, I should go." ”

The old man looked at him: "Sir, take care. ”

Qing Shui Liang said: "I'll tell you one, you can ask for death." ”

When the old man looked at him, his hands trembled.

"Abandon the flesh and have no ego." Qing Shui Liang said word by word.

Lao Zhang was chilled when he heard it, firstly, the conversation between these two people was very strange, and secondly, he did not expect Qing Shui Liang to have such a Zen feeling. It's just that this Zen is actually telling others how to ask for death, revealing a gloomy meaning.

Looking at the old man's puzzled eyes, Qing Shui Liang lowered his body and put his mouth into the old man's ear and said a few words. After saying that, he took care of himself and left.

The old man looked at the bright blue sky, and a tear actually shed on his wrinkled face.

Lao Zhang came out of the kitchen and said something to the old man, but the old man ignored him, his face was expressionless, and he sat under the eaves like a statue.

When I went back the next day, I heard from their family that the old man had disappeared last night.

The day after the old man's disappearance, a loud bang suddenly erupted in the back mountain, and everyone thought that someone had blown up the mountain again. When I went to the mountain to check, I found the human remains that had been blown up. The Public Security Bureau used a DNA test and found that the person killed by the explosion was the missing old man.

When the family was packing up their belongings, they found a short suicide note under the bed in the old man's bedroom. There was a line written on it: If I die, I can really go back.

Speaking of this, Lao Zhang rubbed his eyes and said: "I still don't understand, since the old man is begging for death and committing suicide, why would he choose such a drastic method of explosives explosion." Do you have to blow up until there are no bones? hanged himself and jumped into the river to wipe his neck, and there were many ways to die. ”

I've vaguely made a judgment, but I don't know where to start. Since Lao Zhang is so honest, I also told everything I knew. By the time I finished speaking, Lao Zhang was speechless in surprise.

I said, "This secret base of the Japanese is not only studying how to go to the underworld, but also how to live forever. That old man is immortal, and Qing Shui Liang is also immortal. ”

Lao Zhang slapped his thigh: "I said that Qing Shui Liang called the old man 377, it must be the number of the prisoner that the old man was locked up in the base back then." The old man called Qing Shui Liang sir. The two of them met when the base was running! ”

I nodded: "Speaking of the vicissitudes of life, two immortals, reunited after decades, and what they discussed was a way to seek death." A bit of black humor. ”

Lao Zhang was puzzled: "It's also an immortal, why is the old man's appearance like an old man, but Qing Shui Liang is a young man?" ”

I shook my head: "I don't know how to do it, there are too many hidden things here. I guess so, although the old man and Qing Shui Liang are both immortals, they may have different mechanisms. The old man's immortality is due to the living experiments of the Japanese, and Shimizu Liang is immortal, so I don't know what to do. The Japanese can't use cruel experiments on their own people. ”

I paused and said, "Now back to the question at the beginning, why did the old man commit suicide with explosives. I guess he must have committed suicide many times, and he can't die, so he asks you how to die Qing Shuiliang. ”

Lao Zhang was suddenly shocked: "Yes." The explosives exploded, the flesh was wiped out, and no matter how much you didn't die, you had to die. It is impossible to reassemble that puddle of minced meat. ”
