Chapter 47 Chapter 46 The Ideal Reader

If I just study and compare Gao Yang's manuscripts with suspicious researchers, then I should immediately make up for the few clues in this pile of "suishou" texts. Let's start with a small question.The fragmentary manuscript mentions that Hong Dazhan, the head of the Gelaohui, set up a scheme between the forty-fourth and forty-seventh years of the Republic of China to send Mo Renjie under the alias "Zhou Hongqing" to the "enemy rear".Gao Yang only claimed through Wei Sanye's mouth: "This section is also recorded in detail in "Study on the History of the Shanghai Small Knife Society and Hongmen's Secret Version." It's enough to write down the inscription" in one stroke, but I didn't have time to talk about it.

On that stop-and-go train that seemed never to reach the destination, I took out this huge book with thousands of pages from the bottom of the book bag, and opened the inscriptions that I hadn't noticed in the previous browsing.Perhaps due to the extremely long length of this book, the inscriptions are also quite cumbersome and redundant; in addition to including general reference books, textbooks and other works that are based on the convenience of reference, there are a few lines of thanks, but "Without the full assistance of so-and-so, this article would not have been able to be successfully published..." and other clichés.However, the last three lines of this inscription made my eyes shine——

In addition, the author is very grateful to Mr. Mo Renjie of the Hong Kong Branch of the Youhong Cultural Foundation for providing the secret historical materials about the recent development of the Gelaohui.It is a pity that Mr. Mo was trapped in the mainland ten years ago, and his life and death are uncertain. The author cannot pay tribute in person. Reading these three lines of text at first glance, there is nothing wrong with the meaning of the words.But after careful questioning, doubts abound.First, "You Hong" has been investigated for a long time, and it is known that it is the code name of the "Old Man" spy system, the hereditary leader of the Gelaohui. How can we blatantly use it to establish some kind of cultural foundation?Second, the name Mo Renjie has disappeared from the world since the thirty-fourth year of the Republic of China after he pretended to die with a dead body. Provide the secret history of the Gelaohui?Thirdly, counting from the publication of Chen Xiumei’s book in January 1956, counting back ten years, Chen Xiumei should not have started studying for her master’s degree, and since Mo Renjie has been "trapped in the mainland", so what Can Chen Xiumei get the help of the secret history of the Gelaohui recently through the foresight and the blockade between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait?

However, these three lines of contradictory words did not bother me for too long. I immediately thought of the words written by Long Fang, which was also recorded in the incomplete manuscript. Come out hideously" These few words.Apparently, Long Fang was determined to make a "terribly written" story in Gao Yang's opinion into a Sino-Japanese cooperation movie that cost a huge amount of money, and Chen Xiumei will be in a big, thoughtful, academic film. The inscription in the rigorous writing thanked a person who had never been able to provide any historical materials, and the intention was the same: in their minds, they all had an "ideal reader".This "ideal reader" can fully understand the meaning of the work through the broken and fragmented text:.And based on this understanding, resort to some kind of action in line with the author's expectations.What Long Fang and Chen Xiumei have to do is to tease, offend, and even provoke this "ideal reader"—let us keep this phrase in memory for now.

In the next period of time, with some remaining impressions, I finally found the four passages that Wei Sanye called "very detailed" in "The History of the Shanghai Small Knife Society and the Study of the Secret Book of Hongmen". They are scattered in four chapters of this book, namely "Leader", "Organization", "Espionage", and "Medicine". Each paragraph has its own context, but only a few words , but detached and reorganized can be strung together into a complete narrative—— In November of the thirty-seventh year of the Republic of China, Hong Dazhan of the Gelaohui was released and went to Nanjing and Beijing to ask for orders. He was allowed to take over the "China New Social Enterprise Construction and Construction Association" and extensively recruited patriotic young people. Join the association as a citizen, call each other comrades-in-arms, and work hard to fight against the great cause of communism. (See "Command Gate" above)

In March of the 40th year of the Republic of China, comrades Shi Pingcai and Kang Yongcai of the "New Society" were ordered by Jifeng to deal with the aftermath of the "Shangyuan Project".This position is directly controlled by Hong Dazhan of the Gelaohui, and operates independently, without being controlled by the information group of the confidential room; (See "Organization Fight" above) In September of the 45th year of the Republic of China, Jian sent former "New Society" comrade Luo Qiang from the Overseas Supervision Office to advance to the base in Hong Kong to warn Mo's family that "the government has detected that the director of the bandit's office in Hong Kong Lian Lian and Mo Renjie have misbehaved". , urging him to leave Hong Kong as soon as possible and temporarily go to the mainland to hide. (see "Spy Gate" above)

In November of the 52nd year of the Republic of China, Luo Qiang went to the "Heluohan Acupuncture and Moxibustion Hospital" by himself to conduct an investigation. There were major flaws in the course of his operation, and he leaked mission secrets without authorization. The inspector's office immediately imposed sanctions. (See "Medicine" above) "Hong Dazhan was released" in the first paragraph should refer to what happened after "the prince beat the tiger".Comparing the next paragraph, it can be seen that around the beginning of the 38th year of the Republic of China, Hong Dazhan used the "new society" to absorb gang members' activities to recruit and organize. To lure gang bachelors, they became interested in stepping into politics or sharing official power.Among them—this can be regarded as an unexpected harvest for me—the timing and background of the "Hengha Ercai" leaping over the Dragon Gate as a slave of the Wan family and attaching themselves to Hong Dazhan also showed a rough outline; Inspectors who have joined the intelligence and governance unit within a year are regarded as secular sticklers, so they are naturally worth a lot.However, it is worth noting that: judging from the background of the separation of the Qing Dynasty and the strict barriers at that time, it should be a secret plan to put into effect the pipa of the "Hengha Ercai" and find another high branch.In other words: Although Wan Yanfang personally recommended the "Heng Ha Ercai" to serve in the Security Bureau, but for their handling of the aftermath of the "Shangyuan Project" (killing Ouyang Kunlun?), and even becoming "Old Man" or Hong Dazhan's Eyes and ears are unaware; and only they do not know, Wan Yanfang died in the lotus pond pavilion of the Botanical Garden in the ten years from the 37th to 54th years of the Republic of China. "Society" is excluded, and his own movement has been closely monitored "within close proximity".I even speculated from this: the person who leaked the report to Wan Yanfang that someone would secretly present the distribution map of the CCP's military forces as an "old man" was also "Huh Ha Ercai".

The next third paragraph pointed out in a calm manner: Hong Ying's bachelor Luo Luoqiang, who was directly ordered by the "Hum Ha Ercai", had indeed persuaded Mo Renjie to leave Hong Kong and hide in the mainland.Instead, the method is to use the "general registration" information of the "Two Talents Hum Ha" who reported Mo Renjie in the forty-four years of the Republic of China, making him feel extremely fearful.That’s why Gao Yang quoted Ju Zhengchun in his incomplete manuscript, and Mo Renjie said these two passages: “I will never go to Taiwan” and “I will teach the “old man” to be shot on the way to Taiwan.”Then, Long Fang suspected that Luo Luoqiang's role of "instigating" and "really acting as a contact person" was also circumstantial evidence in this passage.

Instead, the next fourth paragraph of text aroused my speculation about another clue that has no beginning and no end in Gao Yang's incomplete manuscript.That is, six years after Luo Luoqiang/lured Mo Renjie back to the mainland, the two reunited on the Toho studio in Tokyo. What happened next?The reason for this conjecture is that we must first go back to Rod Qiang. In the fourth paragraph quoted above, the so-called "major flaws in the course of action" should refer to the fact that Luo Qiang broke into the "Heluohan Acupuncture and Moxibustion Hospital" to search for the "Lushi Tongren Book" and lost his identity protection certificate. "Immediately impose sanctions" should mean that he fell to his death and the case was closed with "a mentally abnormal man committed suicide by jumping off the building".These holidays were also mentioned in Wang Xunru's "Medical Skills, Medicine and Medical Way of Tiandihui" and Gao Yang's remaining manuscripts, which are credible and not false.According to the fragmented manuscript, no matter Wei Sanye or Long Fang, they concluded that the cause of Luo Qiang's death was nothing more than the exposure of his identity as a spy, or his involvement in the "Zhou Hongqing incident" was too deep and he was silenced.However, Chen Xiumei made a side issue here, saying that Luo Luoqiang "disclosed the secrets of the mission without authorization". Is this another reason for "imposing sanctions"?Also, is it more related to Luo Luoqiang's "self" going to Wang Xunru's place and launching a destructive search?Furthermore, the time when Luo Keqiang fell from the building was only 40 days from September 28th when he appeared on Toho Studio in Tokyo and met Mo Renjie closely. Could there be any causal relationship between the two?

So I began to use my imagination to reconstruct that secret meeting—— Mo Renjie, who has been hiding in the mainland for six years, was "selected" by his superiors like a puppet to join the "Hydraulic Machinery Investigation Team" and came to Tokyo.This day's visit was very relaxed, and the destination was the Dongbao studio. Perhaps Mo Renjie didn't expect to meet Rod Qiang during this trip—an old friend who once helped him escape the sanction of the government's secret agents.This time, it was obviously a coincidence that Luo Qiang had arranged earlier. Of course it was a trap. Luo Qiang had to induce Mo Renjie to say "I'm going to the embassy of the Republic of China", so that he could design another way for the old Cao Gang to obstruct him. They sent out a set of contact codes that were later proven to be ineffective, and Mo Renjie copied them casually into the folder of Dongbao's studio props book "Meat Brush Ukiyo-e" for immediate memorization.This detail seems to illustrate one point: Mo Renjie is actually looking forward to and even offered to take another date with a certain partner, but the date is not Luo Luoqiang himself, so the second sentence in the set of contact codes must be set It must be cross-examined by the other party: "What did Mr. Luo say" to prove that it is not an irrelevant third party.

It may also be because of the inspiration provided by the book of props at hand that Luo Qiang made up the third answer, "Say Ukiyo-e eyes". When the other party replied "Mr. Luo said well", Mo Renjie could propose " Then something can bring up the" question.As for what the "stuff" is?I'm afraid no one in this world can answer, because what Luo Qiang promised on the set was just a lie from beginning to end.However, judging from Mo Renjie's situation at that time "never going to Taiwan, and never going to the mainland" and repeatedly begging Ju Zhengchun to "give a way out", maybe—this is purely beyond my bold assumption——Mo Renjie The "thing" he desires is most likely a document such as a third-country passport that allows him to abscond and smuggle, and it is also unknown.In general, Mo Renjie was fooled by the sky, and Wan Yanfang was fooled by the same maze. As for Rod Qiang himself?I deduce that he returned to Taiwan shortly after the intimate meeting on the set.However, there must be some reason related to this intimate meeting that prompted him to lead the crowd to the "Heluohan Acupuncture and Moxibustion Hospital" without an order, destroying the hospital's facilities in an almost crazy way, and within 12 hours thereafter He fell and died.When I was thinking about this process, I also found out the "Tiandihui Medical Skills, Medicine and Medicine", and turned to a sentence that Luo Qiang said at the time: "Hong Ying's bachelor cannot tolerate Wang's family doctor living here!" Let me ask: How could a great spy who arranged for Hong Dazhan to kill two birds with one stone so recklessly leave a message to intimidate? If it is not reckless, there can only be one explanation: "Bachelor Hong Ying cannot allow Wang's family doctor to live here" is not the reason for the sanction of Luode Qiang who was leaked accidentally; the truth should be seen from reverse thinking— Just after Luo Luo forced Mo Renjie to join him, he suddenly had a different idea or action about his previous actions because of some discovery (and this discovery was related to the old Cao Gang, the rival of the Tiandihui), and he knew that he would definitely run away. However, because of the sanctions, they deliberately went to the hospital opened by Wang Xunru, a friend of the old Cao Gang, and made a big fuss; in this case, the phrase "Hongying's bachelor cannot tolerate Wang's family doctor living here" is not a simple threat, but a twisted meaning 's warning.The following series of mistakes - including the loss of documents, the return after Wang's report to the police, and the dealing with the criminal police at the scene of the investigation - were obviously all due to a desire to expand the incident and make it public through the media. motivation. When I reversed Luo Luoqiang's actions and thought about it again, I immediately remembered the two words Long Fang said to Gao Yang: "Only under the eyes of the public can there be a public opinion." A gamble is like what Long Fang and Chen Xiumei are working on—a stillborn "Tokyo Red Apricot" and an aimless thank you note—it seems to be "forcing the black hand behind the scenes to show up". Of course, Gao Yang's incomplete manuscripts, which are "handy", still leave many unfinished clues. For example, Wang Xinheng stated that Li Shouwu and Wei Yizheng "meet each other on the side of the boat" on the way to Taiwan. Discuss the story of friendship with Ouyang Qiu and his son respectively, but suddenly stop because of "the dangerous and strange things may come to the door".Another example: it turns out that Li Shouwu sneaked into the provincial security headquarters in the 44th year of the Republic of China, and the person he wanted to track down was a headless case involving "Heng Ha Ercai". But it feels familiar to me.Gao Yang said, "I don't know the truth until the day I started writing", so why bother to mention it?Another example: the "Meat Pen Ukiyo-e" should be kept by Gao Yang and brought back to Taiwan; if this book was entrusted by Wei Sanye, has it been handed over to him?At least it is not among the seven books that Gao Yang bequeathed to me.According to Gao Yang's conjecture: if the book of "solitary certificate" returned to Dongbao by Long Fang as "in danger of committing a crime" would bring about death, does Gao Yang think that after more than 20 years? Years, changes in circumstances, and the passage of time, dare to risk yourself?Judging from the ending of Gao Yang's sudden illness worsening and his sudden death in Mr. Rong several years later, Ning Fei has a sloppy relationship with the possible exposer in "Meat Brush Ukiyo-e"? With this step-by-step deduction, I became more and more aware of Gao Yang's intentions in delivering half of the incomplete manuscript full of unfinished clues to me.He was hesitant to say anything, just to summon me, induce me, and inspire me to piece together the answers that already existed in one book after another that I mostly didn't admit to having read.Many people who have obtained a small part, a fragment of that answer, consciously or unconsciously, have written it, and then disappeared without a trace, or even died.And those remaining words are naturally discarded by the world who don't care or are impatient to read them in any corner a little far from daily life; Those secrets that are actually very urgent for those who can absorb them in daily life; these secrets will tell us what forces have or are shaping, controlling, forming and changing the history and even reality that we believe to be true.We are ignorant because that "ideal reader" wants us to be. Let's go back to the term "ideal reader."I've had a chill before when I mentioned the word.I put it this way: the "ideal reader" is able to fully understand the meaning of the work through the fragments of the text;Of course, I can refer to various actions that are eager to annihilate the history related to the "Zhou Hongqing incident": this "ideal reader" is Hong Dazhan.A careerist with billions of dollars, sitting high in the temple, hiding behind the scenes, and deliberately planning to annex the old Cao Gang, a culprit who tried to combine intelligence and governance units, rebuild the rule of secret agents, and win over the underground society for hundreds of years. .He is the evil wolf in fairy tales, the poisonous dragon in court legends, the 梼杌 in historical fables, and the devil in Jianghu anecdotes.However, this is not what Gao Yang expected from me—he probably didn’t think that using his works to seduce, offend or even provoke an invincible villain would be the writer’s ultimate goal.On the contrary, I sincerely believe that Gao Yang's incomplete manuscript is a test of my creative process of piecing together the answers. Moments before the train was about to arrive in Taichung, I didn't know that I was about to get off the train. I even thought that I would never have to get off the train, and I would always be immersed in the exploration of how to conceive this film.I also would not have known that when Tian Wo determined to use a novel to "make "them" mess up and mess up the world even more, and a little more, I didn't really understand the complicated historical background and history of "City-State Violence". The treacherous struggle conspiracy actually involves so many materials that I can't handle, problems that I can't explain, and emotions that I can't describe.It is precisely because of such ignorance that the desire to try to write it out is so urgent and fascinating; on the other hand: it is precisely because of the urgent and fascinating desire to write that I would rather continue to be in a state of ignorance and ignorance, letting one after another The doubts and confusion about history and reality are like the lights flickering outside the night train from time to time, lighting up word by line, attracting me to stagger through the time and space that had been darkened, silenced and forgotten in Khotan. The "ideal reader" might come to me too, but in any case he had to wait—another mystery I hadn't learned on the train—how long would he wait?And all I can say is that he has to wait at least another eight full years.
