One hundred and nineteenth chapter cause and effect II
"Do you know this?" I felt surprised. It was not surprising that Ziyang knew that, but it was a bit unexpected that he knew it so clearly. Since that incident, I have experienced various twists and turns. If it weren't for Ziyang
Now that I think about it, I have almost forgotten about it.
I don't know why, but when he mentioned this, I suddenly realized that it was indeed abnormal that the matter ended up being nothing.
"Why can't I know?" Ziyang looked at me quietly, his eyes gleaming with a slightly evil spirit, and said, "Are you guilty?"
"It's not false at all." I pretended to be fine, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. This forgotten matter was brought up again, and it brought a lot of doubts. I am still clear about the current judicial system, and the public security agencies in various places have clear orders.
, the murder case must be solved. He was running around with a corpse in the middle of the night. After he was caught, he would definitely investigate with all his strength. However, soon after, this case seemed to have faded out of people's sight. When the old magic stick and I first went out from the barren mountains, we were wanted.
Ling disappeared.
"Everything in the world, if there is a cause, must have a consequence." Zi Yang said: "I might as well tell you that the reason why the lawsuit was settled in the end was because they caught the murderer."
"What are you talking about? What kind of murderer?" I was completely confused. No one murdered Wu Shengli, so how could the murderer be mentioned? But at that time, the police detained the car carrying the corpse. It was easy to start from the vehicle and solve the matter.
The truth comes to light.
If you think about it this way, in the police's sight, I am the only suspect.
"You still don't understand. Let me show you the causes and consequences." Ziyang paused and took out a mottled bronze mirror from his arms. The mirror was an ancient artifact. Looking at the mirror, I
I couldn't help but think of what the old magician said.
The bronze mirror was rusty, and Ziyang held the mirror in front of me. I was afraid that I would be deceived by some evil method, so I was extremely alert, but he did nothing and held the mirror quietly.
The rusty mirror was dim and dull, but in less than a minute, the mirror became brighter, like a small screen. I saw the dark night through the mirror, and saw a car speeding on the road. That car
Very familiar. There is no doubt that the scene shown in the mirror at this moment is the scene when I was carrying the corpse.
Immediately afterwards, the car was stopped, then turned around and ran away. The picture was clear and real, not like an illusion at all. As I watched, I kept reminding myself, but in my heart I couldn't help but believe that everything in the mirror was nothing.
It's true.
Afterwards, the car was surrounded by the police, and they discovered the body in the trunk. Backup arrived quickly, including probably professional criminal police. I looked at the picture in the mirror, as if I was watching a live broadcast. Not only was the picture clear,
You can even hear various sounds from that time.
Then, the scene changed, and many police cars gathered outside an old residential area. At least twenty or thirty police officers poured in from several entrances of the residential area. In less than ten minutes, several police officers escorted a person from one of the entrances.
When they came out of the entrance, just like many live videos seen on the news, the person being held in custody seemed to be the felon in the murder case. As they got closer and closer, the man being held in custody raised his head vigorously.
At that moment, my eyes froze, even my eyeballs seemed unable to move, and I stared at the mirror, feeling inexplicably shocked.
Who is that? I don't know, but I can clearly see that the person being held by several policemen has a face like mine.
The next scene suddenly jumped to the interrogation room, a very formal interrogation. The captured criminal suspect was a little decadent. I felt like sweating on my forehead when I looked at it, because every move of this suspect, even the smallest one,
The movements are surprisingly similar to my habits.
I am sure that if someone who knows me well looks at the picture in the mirror at this moment, he will undoubtedly think that that person is me.
The sound during the interrogation was very clear. I heard the police officer in charge of the interrogation ask: "Name?"
"Yu Beifang..." The suspect was handcuffed, hesitated, and slowly answered the police's question. His voice was no different from mine, especially the helplessness in his tone, which was very similar to mine.
The police asked a few more questions, including age, address, and workplace, and the man also named Yu Beifang answered them flawlessly.
He explained clearly what happened to Lian Wu Shengli and why he moved Wu Shengli's body, and even some of his psychological dynamics at the time were very clear. As I watched, I was in a daze. How could I have understood it if it wasn't for me?
So clear?
Later, the scene showed that the suspect was detained, thrown into a detention center, and then tried by the court. Although he was not the murderer of Wu Shengli, some things were unclear, so he was still sentenced to one and a half years in prison.
At the end of the picture, I saw him being escorted to Cross Bridge Prison. When he walked into the prison door, he looked back. That look in his eyes made me feel lost and faintly desperate.
All the scenes ended here, and the light of the bronze mirror began to dim and returned to its original mottled appearance. Ziyang took the mirror back and said, "Do you understand?"
I couldn't speak because I had been thinking about a question. I seemed to have gotten a vague answer to this question, but I couldn't be completely sure due to some psychological reasons. I was not out of touch with Wu Shengli's incident.
Afterwards, I was not wanted or pursued. It was entirely because another person like me took my place, or in other words, took my charge. He was arrested by the police, tried by the court, and thrown into prison?
If this is really the case, then it is understandable. From the police's perspective, this case has been closed.
"Don't use dirty tricks to deceive me." I said rudely to Ziyang, because the picture I saw in the mirror was a bit unacceptable. I didn't believe there would be another Yu Beifang in this world. I was blaming
Ziyang, but I don't have enough confidence, because vaguely, I feel that everything in the mirror is very real, and I can't accept it, so I can only hope that it is Ziyang's scam.
"Whether it's a scam or not, God knows and I know." Ziyang smiled faintly, looked up at me and said, "Actually, you also know."
I was immediately speechless. This seemed like a ridiculous thing, but I couldn't think of anything to refute Ziyang, because the scene I had experienced at the Yuantu ruins suddenly came to my mind. I saw
His own body, as well as the bodies of Su Xiaomeng and Fan Tuan.
"If you don't believe it and are interested, you can go to Shiziqiao Prison to see him." Ziyang said, "He is still there now."
"Okay, stop talking." I stopped Ziyang and said, "What on earth do you want me to do, just open that stone gate? The people in your village have been trying to do it for so many years, but they still can't do it. How do you expect me to do it?"
?”
"You are better suited to do this than anyone else."
"Why?"
"You don't need to know too much now, just do it."
Ziyang told me that there are more than one stone gates like this, and they are distributed everywhere. He can give me the approximate location, and then I can explore and investigate. I want to know the current whereabouts of Qingqing and the others, but Ziyang didn't say, he
It only means that I can only see Qingqing when I have done what I should do.
I am very passive. Ziyang may know my weakness. Qingqing is in their hands. No matter what conditions the other party proposes, I cannot refuse. But how long will it take for what I want to do? Ten or twenty years? Or even longer
?
"Perhaps, it won't take that long. If you have faith, everything can become a reality." Ziyang said: "I will provide you with people, money, and efforts. Whatever you need, you can ask for it."
"I want to ask about the shadow of the jar on the stone door." I said, "You know about that jar, right?"
That jar is so mysterious. I have seen murals and the shadow of the jar in illusions, but I have never seen the real thing. In my opinion, that jar should be the object of sacrifice for the ancient Yuantu Kingdom and even the entire Xiwangmu tribe.
, this is a rather strange belief. There have been many ancient tribes in the world, but no one has ever used a jar as a totem of their own nation. I already feel that if I want to do these things, I will do it again in the future.
It is inevitable to deal with jars, and I want to try my best to know more hidden secrets.
"That jar is our ultimate enemy." Ziyang's expression was like a pool of water in a deep mountain. No matter whether he was sad or happy, it never made waves. But when I mentioned that jar, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but smile.
He twitched, feeling a sense of hatred and a faint fear: "That is the biggest devil in the world."
"A magic jar?" I asked, "What is in that jar?"
"I don't know." Ziyang shook his head slightly, and I didn't know if he was lying.
Ziyang was also a person who didn't like to talk. After saying what needed to be said, he kept silent. I even asked a few questions but didn't get any answers, so I simply stood up and prepared to leave.
Just when I was about to turn around and leave the cave, I suddenly heard a soft pop, as if a piece of porcelain or something had suddenly broken. When I subconsciously turned around, I saw a continuous sound swaying on the wall of the cave.
Dust. At this time, Ziyang, who was as calm as the clouds in the sky, showed a surprised look for the first time. He looked at the wall of the cave and his body trembled.
Then, he stood up in a hurry, rushed to the place where the dust was stirred up, and waved his sleeves to drive away the dust. The moment the dust dispersed, I saw that there seemed to be a piece of jade like white marble inlaid on the wall of the cave. The jade seemed to be engraved with
There is an inscription on a bird's beak that I have never seen before, but the jade stone broke for no reason.
Ziyang stood in front of the broken jade, his body shaking for a while. When he slowly turned around, an indescribable expression surged on his face. I don't know what the broken jade means.
However, judging from Ziyang's expression, it was obvious that something terrible had happened.
"They..." Ziyang took a sharp breath and said, "They are coming."
