After talking about the past, Xu Tu seemed to have put down a heavy burden. He felt much more relaxed, and the movements of the mechanism maker became lighter and more flexible.
But Cheng Peng couldn't be so relaxed.
Because he felt that things were not as Xu Tu said... Of course, Cheng Peng's wisdom could not be better than Xu Tu's, but as the saying goes, "The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear." As a person in the game, Xu Tu knew everything he saw and thought.
Restricted by his identity and affected by his emotions, he could not see things as clearly as Cheng Peng who was on the outside.
In other words, as a historian, Cheng Peng has already seen many love and hatred in historical records, and his vision and sensitivity in this regard have been greatly improved.
In his opinion, what Xu Tu said was only "what he knew", and many of the details were very vague and there were many unreasonable things.
For example, Furukawaki and Kasugano Miyako - considering Furukawaki and his life-and-death acquaintance, even if he really fell in love with Kasugano Miyako, there is nothing he can't do to meet people. Love is like a battlefield. Don't be afraid of losing when it comes.
If she wins, she has to admit defeat; and Kasugano Miyako is even more strange. If she and Furukawa Mu are really close to each other, why should she agree to Xu Tu's advances? Is she a fool or a psychopath?
Another example is the look Furukawa looked at Xu Tu - it was a look of disgust and hatred. If he really felt sorry for Xu Tu, he shouldn't have looked like this!
The key to the problem was around the time Xu Tu was hospitalized.
Cheng Peng lay motionless leaning against the stone pillars that could be seen everywhere in Pansi Cave. He seemed to be asleep, but he kept thinking about this matter in his heart.
He really cares!
After pondering carefully for a long time, he deduced several different possibilities, but he could not tell which one was closer to reality. However, these possibilities were very different, and they were in great conflict with each other, and there was no way to reconcile them.
Cheng Peng is not Sherlock Holmes, and his reasoning is not omnipotent, so at this point, he is really at his wits end.
After careful consideration, he dialed Dongliu Xingchen's private chat.
[Private chat] Cheng Peng: Dongliu, is it convenient now? I want to ask you something.
[Private Chat] Dongliu Xingchen: Cheng Jun? I am lying at the resurrection point waiting for the weak time to pass... But it is useless even if the resurrection time passes. The Spider Spirit and White Bone Spirit have already played real fire, and they can use their big moves to clear the ground at every turn.
, it crashes accidentally. What’s your problem?
[Private chat] Cheng Peng: I want to ask about Mr. Furukawa.
[Private Chat] Dongliu Xingchen: Is it about the grudge between my uncle and Mr. Xu back then? To be honest, I don’t know that. I asked the elders in the family and they didn’t know either. They only know that he and Mr. Xu were close friends of life and death.
They were friends, the kind who would risk their lives for each other. But for some reason, the two of them fell out, and they suddenly turned against each other.
[Private chat] Cheng Peng: Do you know anyone who might have some clues?
[Private chat] Dongliu Xingchen: If I knew, I would have asked. In fact, I am also very curious!
[Private chat] Cheng Peng: Do you know Mr. Furukawa’s son?
[Private Chat] Dongliu Xingchen: Ayong didn’t know it either. He once saw a group photo of everyone in the club among his mother’s belongings, and asked his uncle who those people were in the photo. As a result, his uncle rarely cursed.
He paused...and the line was cut off.
Cheng Peng closed his eyes and carefully considered the meaning contained in these words.
Obviously, Furukawa Mu has always been secretive about the reasons for his rebellion with Xu Tu. Even though his brothers and sons cannot know, maybe he intends to take everything to the cemetery and let time wash away everything. But only from some fragmentary information, it is not possible
Some things can be inferred.
First of all, the falling out between the two happened suddenly, so suddenly that even Furukawa's brothers and relatives found it unexpected. There were no signs before. This is consistent with what Xu Tu said, but it seems more and more unreasonable.
Secondly, when Furukawa's son Ayong saw the photos of the people in that club and asked about his father, Furukawa's rage seemed very strange - ordinarily, in the battle with Xu Tu, he was a complete winner, not only hugging the beauty
He returned home, ruined Xu Tu's reputation, and rushed back to China in despair. Even if such an experience is not enough to show off to his children, at least it should not make him angry when Xu Tu is mentioned.
"There is indeed a problem!"
Cheng Peng had no intention of asking Xu Tu for confirmation - to talk about this matter again would be to poke a wound in Xu Tu's heart. Unless he could find conclusive evidence, he would never mention his suspicions to Xu Tu.
Help should be based on the idea, rather than helping more and more.
Pulling out the electronic notepad, he wrote down the current information and his conjectures one by one, and compared them repeatedly to make sure that he had not missed anything and could not deduce more clues. Then he dialed Shen Qi's personal phone number.
chat.
The private chat was very short, and the two parties only spoke a few words in total. Shen Qi did not ask Cheng Peng why he wanted to inquire about Furukawa wood, nor did he make any inferences such as "My business scope is limited to games."
He made excuses, but promised to try his best to help him find clues.
"But don't have too much hope. After all, it happened twenty years ago..." Shen Qi sighed, "In the early 1990s...the Internet had not yet developed and the performance of computers was also very poor.
, a lot of information is in paper form, and it’s really difficult to find it!”
A few hours later, Cheng Peng completed his inner strength training for the day and was practicing the Seven Injury Fist when news came from Shen Qi.
Furukawaki, the current president of Furukawa Import and Export Trading Company, was a student at T University, a prestigious Japanese school, twenty years ago. At that time, about twenty young people in the school, including him, formed an interesting club. This club was based on people who were born with terminal illnesses.
With the genius girl Kasugano Miyako as the core, he made many achievements in just two years, which instantly attracted people's attention. Many people at the same time couldn't help but praise him when they recalled the original scene.
The club without a fixed name and fixed members has several core members: Kasugano Miyako, who is in charge of the general command; Furukawaki, who is in charge of finance; Tsunegi, who is in charge of data collection and intelligence search;
Chao Ming, who negotiates with the group; Xu Tu, who is responsible for persuading the students and leading them to engage in various tasks. Generally speaking, these five people are the most important members of the club.
This society developed very well for a time, but in the winter of 1992, first Xu Tu was stabbed by a drunkard on Christmas Eve and almost died. He lay in the hospital for several months; then Kasugano Miyako became ill and was in critical condition.
It took about half a month to get out of danger; around this time, Chao Ming suddenly transferred to Hokkaido without even saying goodbye to everyone in the club; and Chang Xi, the last of the five core members, announced that the club was disbanded... because
Kasugano Miyako had always concealed the news of her illness, and was hospitalized in a private hospital that refused to allow outsiders to visit. Therefore, it was not until she fell ill again and died almost a year later that everyone knew that she had been ill once before, and that it started from that time
, health condition deteriorated sharply.
Many people speculated whether something happened in the club. Some people asked Furukawaki, who was already married to Kasugano Miyako, for confirmation. Others rushed to Hokkaido to find Chao Ming, who had always been well-informed, to find out what happened, but they all found nothing.
Before that, Xu Tu had been expelled from school due to the scandal of falsification and plagiarism in his thesis. He returned to China with Chang Xi, who was deeply in love with him. Later, the members of the society dispersed and no one was able to go to China to find out what happened.
After Furukawa and Kasugano Miyako got married, they had a son named Furukawa Naga. To be honest, his appearance was not similar to Furukawa and Kasugano. However, this incident can only be regarded as an interjection. After all, it is not uncommon for children to not look like their parents.
The information Shen Qi found was roughly this. Compared with what Xu Tu said, there was one more important content:
During the time when Xu Tu was injured and hospitalized, Kasugano Miyako also fell ill, and she never got better from then on.
Looking at this information, Cheng Peng frowned.
There is no doubt that Xu Tu did not know the news that Kasugano Miyako was ill, otherwise he would have crawled over to visit her even if he crawled.
Then... maybe the key to the matter lies in this point... "By the way, you want to trace the past of Xu Tu's youth, right?" Shen Qi waited for him to read the information before saying, "If it is about that club,
Regarding the matter, I think you can go find someone."
"who?"
"The person who changed the story of that club and wrote it into a light novel."
So Cheng Peng tried to contact that person.
Shen Qi helped him find the address of the writer, so Cheng Peng took advantage of the fact that it was still early and the plot had not reached a critical point before he logged off and took a flying train to Japan.
"Unexpectedly, it's not Xu Tu who came here but you..." When he found the person and explained his purpose, the other person was a little surprised, "But it's almost the same. Anyway, as long as I tell you, it is equivalent to telling him."
"I was a member of the club back then, and I was well taken care of by Kasugano-senpai, Furukawa-senpai and Xu-senpai, so after learning about their rebellion, I have been trying to find out the truth of the matter - I think there must be some misunderstanding between them
, after all, they are both very good people, and they are all very considerate of others, so there is no reason for them to fall out like that!"
"Compared with others, I didn't find much information. I just relied on a reader's relationship to find senior Kasugano's medical records at that private hospital." The writer, who is younger than Xu Tu, said
Said, "Of course it is impossible to take out the original medical records, and it is impossible to copy them, but I remember the contents of the medical records very clearly - Senior Kasugano has never been pregnant. Her health has deteriorated rapidly since she fell ill. Don't say
Pregnancy, childbirth, and even sex are very dangerous!”
Cheng Peng was not surprised. This was one of several possibilities he had speculated.
"I guess - it's just a guess - Senior Xu may have done something to make senior Kasugano sad, causing senior to fall ill; or maybe senior just cares about him... and then Senior Furukawa, who has always loved senior, therefore
Vent his anger on Senior Xu..."
The man didn't speak clearly, but it was enough for Cheng Peng.
When he hurriedly returned to China, found Xu Tu and told him about the incident, Xu Tu was silent for a long time and finally sighed.
