The old man lowered his head, as if he was thinking, and the hesitation and reluctance in his eyes were obvious. The old lady on the side also persuaded him, these children have come to interview you, you can take them to see.

The old man thought about it for a long time before he stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to have a look." ”

Following the old man, the three of us walked into the third floor of the old building behind us. The building is still in the architectural style of many years ago, and in this old community, you can see red brick walls and green window frames everywhere. It's just that many people add stainless steel glass windows to the inside of the window frame. There are a lot of old furniture piled up in the corridor, and there is only room for one person to go up and down.

Jiang Yidong also whispered: "In this place, the fire fighting is definitely not up to par." ”

"The building is about to be demolished, who will take care of the fire fighting?"

The old man walked in front, looked back at us, and said, "This house is more than fifty years old." It was built when it was engaged in large-scale production. ”

Zhu Yilong behaved more like a reporter who came to interview. He asked the old man, "Grandpa, you have lived here for more than 50 years." ”

"Yes, I've been working in this factory since I started."

"So mask-making is a hobby?"

"Ugh." Grandpa only sighed.

Walking into the old man's house, everything feels very old. It's like going back to when I was very young, when things were very similar to what happened at home.

Zhu Yilong sat on the wooden sofa and began to ask the old man questions, while Jiang Yidong and I just looked at the living room casually. The living room is the most interesting thing to look at, that is, the masks on the largest wall. Those masks were the kind of human skin masks we'd seen before. If these masks are made of human skin, then there are at least a dozen dead people on this wall. Can he eat and sleep with the masks he makes on these dead faces every day?

I looked at the masks carefully, and they were all pale faces, not the facial features of specific people, but the characteristic facial features. The commonality is the blood-red tear stains under the eyes. I have looked at each of the fourteen skin masks, and I am sure that none of them are the one I had come into contact with. The one was next to my classmate's body, and the missing mask wasn't here. Finding an old man is either not someone who comes into contact with these things, or he is very cautious and wary of anyone who comes.

This time I didn't have the hands to take off the masks and touch them, I just looked at them. It wasn't until I saw a very special mask among those masks.

In fact, when you look at it, it is exactly the same as other masks. But if you look closely, you will still feel that its eyes especially miss Jiang Lichen! Not only is the shape similar, but the feeling is also very similar to Jiang Lichen. Jiang Yidong was not far away, looking at the tools used to make masks on the table.

I tugged at his sleeve to show him over, pointed to the mask, and asked, "Who do you look like?" ”

He looked at it carefully and then smiled: "Like, that look really looks like your man." ”

Our conversation was very quiet, and the old man over there was still concentrating on answering Zhu Yilong's questions. In fact, if the old man can let us come over for an interview so generously, it will definitely not really let us find any problems. If those murder masks were really interviewed and asked a few questions, Qin Hua's matter would have become a hot topic in the media. I took out my phone and said to the old man, "Grandpa, I'll take a picture of you and make a news photo." ”

The old man waved his hand: "Don't shoot, don't shoot." At my age, I stopped shooting. ”

I'm still holding my phone and I'm happy, and it's a little embarrassing to say that to him. Still, I pretended to look around and quietly took a picture of him.

After reading it in a circle, his eyes still stayed on the mask that looked very similar to Jiang Lichen. I asked, "Grandpa, can I take this down and have a look?" ”

"Take it. That mask was made when I was younger, and it's been many years. ”

"It's been many years, and it's still like new."

"My mask here will never be old, and it will be ...... when it is made," he said, with a lot of tips for making it. Zhu Yilong listened carefully and remembered, looking like a very reporter, but I sneered in my heart. Of course it's not old, it's all made of human skin. I just don't know if the mask in my hand is made of Jiang Lichen's cheek.

Holding the mask in his hand, rubbing against the very special skin on it. "Grandpa, is this custom-made by someone else, or did you make it yourself and sell it?"

"Basically, it's made by others. The one in your hand is also custom-made by someone else. I made three identical ones together, and the money was given. When the man came to get the masks, I only made two, and he took them. Said to come back in a week and pick up another one. But he never showed up again. This mask, which has already been paid for, has always been with me. ”

I immediately became vigilant: "When was this ordered?" ”

The old man thought for a while before he said, "I can't remember." It's very early, very early. When I was an apprentice with my master. At that time, there was still a war. ”

They must have seen Jiang Lichen! I thought to myself. "Grandpa, isn't your master very powerful?"

"It's amazing. The masks he makes, when he wears them, can make one person look like another. I heard that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, those royal families would treat him politely. He even made masks for the royal family. The mask in your hand was also made by looking at a black-and-white photo that we hadn't seen before. ”

"What does that picture look like?"

"The pictures at that time were all about the same. Just a man standing, pointing to his side. Yes, he was in a military uniform. said that he died in battle. Three to it. One for his children, one for his parents, and one for his grave. ”

Coming out of the old man's place, Jiang Yidong proposed to find a place to eat something light, he hadn't eaten since last night until now. I'm dying of hunger.

We went to a small porridge shop nearby and asked for three bowls of polenta, as well as side dishes and oil cakes. Jiang Yidong also said with special dislike that he originally thought he was going to a chain porridge shop.

Zhu Yilong told us about the information he had just interviewed, and the final conclusion was: "This old man is making masks, but he is not actually made of human skin. It's pigskin, rabbit skin, or whatever. The human skin masks that kill people, he didn't mention at all. I asked a few times tentatively, but he didn't show any flaws. ”

"And what about his master?" I asked, "The mask I was holding just now is pitifully human skin." He said that at that time, he was an apprentice and he did three. This is paradoxical. The one who can pay first must be the uncle, what the uncle wanted at the time of the war, will his master give it to the apprentice? It is likely that the three masks were made of human skin, made by his master. When he spoke, he also said the word "we" several times. ”

Jiang Yidong drank some porridge, finally felt more comfortable, and said, "He's so old." His master must have died a long time ago. ”

"Those girls were killed and torn off their faces before, why? Who needs those human skins? ”

Jiang Yidong said again: "According to what you said, did the mask that looked like your man we saw just now just tear your man's face to make it?" ”

Zhu Yilong interrupted us: "Hey, isn't your boyfriend only twenty or thirty years old?" The old man said that the mask was made during the war. ”

After talking for a while, Jiang Yidong and I went back to Bishui Garden first, and also told Zhu Yilong that he could tell us about any progress. After all, he and I lived and died together in some way.

Back at the house in Bishui Garden, Jiang Lichen was still at home, watching TV in the living room without a trace of curtains. Always watching the news. I walked over and sat down next to him: "Look at this person, do you recognize him?" ”

He looked at my phone, and it was a little closer to me. I distanced myself and said, "Yesterday's incident, until you have apologized and I have not forgiven you, please stay away from me by more than half a meter." ”

He looked at me and said, "Still holding a grudge?" ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Yidong sat on the independent sofa over there, holding a pillow and looking at the two of us: "It sounds like there was something special yesterday." ”

I glared at him and continued to look at Jiang Lichen: "Let's talk about serious things first, have you seen this person?" ”

Jiang Lichen looked at the old man I secretly photographed. After Jiang Lichen looked at it carefully, he said: "I don't have an impression, it may be that my appearance has changed." ”

I put away my phone and said, "Many years ago, there was a man who went to his master, and he was an apprentice at that time. The man gave the money and then asked them to make a mask from a photo of your military uniform. That mask shouldn't be made of your face. I touched it a few times today. ”

"Me?! Not my skin. ”

The other party said, "Ordered three." One of them is placed in front of your grave. ”

"Impossible, those who know my grave are all members of the Jiang family. Even if someone had seen my grave, they wouldn't have thought that it was 064 buried there."

"Well, we can be sure that the other party is lying. I made three masks that are very similar to yours. Two were taken, and one rice had time to be taken. Something happened to him over there. If nothing happens, I'll definitely come and take it. After all, this kind of thing doesn't make people forget so easily. Another interesting thing is that the old man said that the mask made by his master is exactly the same as his face when he wears it. We can assume that the person who has your notes and is active in Qin Hua's operation is wearing this mask and becoming a copied you. I paused and said, "Unfortunately, his master died." Our trail is broken. ”

Jiang Lichen was silent for a while and then said, "Jiang Yidong, find out the relationship between the Jiang family and check whether there is any progress in the previous case that was torn apart." ”

Jiang Yidong was about to fall asleep leaning on the sofa, listened to being named, sat down, and said solemnly: "I am not your subordinate, nor is I the woman under you." When you haven't figured out whether to hand over that very important thing, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to mobilize the connections of the Jiang family. ”
