Chapter 7 Chapter 6 - Hell

I have known Huang Tang for a long time, and I know that he is not a person who behaves in an upside-down manner. Now that his situation is so weird, I can be sure that something unusual must have happened! I settled down and said, "Say what you want to say." Huang Tang took a breath: "You came to tell me about the situation in the chicken farm. I felt something was wrong at the time, but for a while, I couldn't remember what it was. After you left, I suddenly Remember, three years ago, a case came to my department—” When he mentioned this, I was extremely puzzled. Huangtang's department is a "special studio" that specializes in dealing with "difficult and miscellaneous diseases". What does that have to do with my trip to the chicken farm?

I looked at him, and he continued: "Three years ago, Ho's chicken farm was murdered. The owner of the chicken farm, He Zhenghan, was seventy-two years old. He was originally a soldier. He died strangely. My department once intervened in the investigation." When he said this, he set his sights on me. I finally understood what he meant, and couldn't help laughing: "You mean the old man surnamed He I saw in the chicken farm is He Zhenghan who died strangely three years ago?" My question can be said to be weird enough - because Huang Tang's expression is so strange, I asked this way, and there was a bit of a joke in it.

But Huang Tang listened, his expression was serious, and he nodded: "Yes, that's him!" I laughed "haha": "Isn't this a hell?" Huang Tang was horrified and stuttered a bit when he spoke, he said: "I, I...don't dare to say that...that...you said it yourself!" I saw that he was so nervous, he was really angry and funny: "Of course it won't be like that! There are old men who have been soldiers in the world. If one dies, there will be another one." The meaning of what I said could not be more clear: the murder case three years ago is one thing, but I saw an old man in the chicken farm, that is another matter.

It's impossible for Huang Tang not to understand what I mean, but his expression was still extremely weird. He changed the subject and asked again: "Then...Miss He, what did she say?" I was a little annoyed: "I told you too, she actually asked me 'what old man?'" Huang Tang let out a "wow" and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Do you want to see the... file of the murder case?" I was annoyed: "Is it necessary?" Huang Tang insisted: "It should help." I was puzzled, I didn't know what Huang Tang meant by saying that, so I said: "Okay, bring it!"

Huang Tang immediately handed me a heavy binder. When I opened it, I saw a stack of photos. It was a photo of the upper body of a dead person. Huang Tang said that there had been a murder case, so of course it was taken after the murder case.The reason why I was in a daze was that the deceased was the old man I had seen in the chicken farm! Although one lived and the other died, their appearances were slightly different, but the two were the same person, so there was no doubt about it. At that moment, my face must have become extremely ugly, so when Huang Tang was talking to me, his voice was very different, he tremblingly said: "It's...it's him? The old man you're talking about...it's him ?”

I tried my best to gather my mind and took a breath: "Is this the victim of the murder case three years ago?" Huang Tang nodded. I took another breath: "But, he was the one I saw at the chicken farm just now." Huang Tang said: "Impossible, unless you are—" When he said this, he stopped and didn't say any more, but just looked at me in horror. I know what he wants to say, he wants to say that I "live hell"! I said these three words myself just now, but only in jest.The same sentence, said in a joking situation, and really serious, the feeling is very different.Because this sentence is not ordinary, it is "live hell"!

I shook my head: "There is no need to argue about it, as long as we go to the farm again, we can understand the truth." Huang Tang said: "If you want to know sooner, you can ask He Keren." I was a little annoyed: "I was asking her, you dragged me out, why didn't you come in and find me?" Huang Tang's answer was another surprise. He said: "Because after the murder happened that year, He Keren was investigated as the main suspect, but finally due to insufficient evidence, he could not be prosecuted." I stayed for a while, and for a while, I really didn't know what to say, but I quickly made a decision: "Ask her."

Huang Tang said: "How to ask?" I was stunned again, and while walking inward, I said, "You can ask what you want." Huang Tang followed me, and the two of them pushed open the door of the ward together, only to see the situation in the room, the same as when I came here just now, He Keren was still looking at the ceiling, and Ding Zhen was still looking at He Keren. I slammed the door shut and yelled, "Miss He!" He Keren looked at me indifferently, but Ding Zhen was taken aback. What I said was still the same sentence: "I just came from Ho's Chicken Farm."

He Keren's reaction was very cold: "You said it just now." When she said this, she shifted her gaze to Huang Tang behind me.When she saw Huang Tang, she showed a strange expression for a moment, but it was gone in a flash. I hurriedly looked at Huang Tang, only to see that Huang Tang looked at He Keren with strange eyes - only experienced police officers looked at a person who knew he had committed a crime but could not prove it. Only then will there be such a vision. Generally speaking, under this kind of staring gaze, the guilty person will avoid it because of guilt. But at this moment, He Keren and Huang Tang looked at each other, showing no intention of avoiding it.Moreover, she was the one who spoke first, "Director Huang, we meet again."

Huang Tang also said: "Yes, time flies so fast, three years have passed in a blink of an eye." Although they only spoke a few words, I can also know that three years ago, after the chicken farm murder case, Huang Tang conducted an investigation into the murder of old man He Zhenghan and met He Keren. That means that three years ago, an old man named He Zhenghan died in a chicken farm. When I thought of this, I couldn't help blaming myself in my heart: What's the matter, of course there was such a murder case, and the old man named He Wanghan had already died.The old man surnamed He I met in the chicken farm, I don’t know his name, although the photo of the deceased three years ago looks very similar to the old man I met, but the similarity is a coincidence , doesn't mean anything else.

My thoughts at that time were quite chaotic, because things were so weird that I couldn't predict, so I couldn't really grasp the center of what I thought. After He Keren said a word, he said again: "The chicken...has not been found yet, I didn't expect that this matter would be troublesome to the director." When He Keren said this, she was very calm and composed, and it could be seen that the meeting between her and Huang Tang this time was not a pleasant memory. The resentment in my heart increased again, because when she came and went, she always mentioned the chicken that was not found, but still did not mention the old man with disabilities in the chicken farm. Huang Tang said coldly: "Wesley is my friend, and I am here to prove something with him." He Keren seemed completely indifferent to what Huang Tang said, and turned back to look at the ceiling. I snorted: "Miss He, there are some things I need you to prove." He Keren showed an impatient expression, and also "hummed". Ding Zhen said from the side: "She is injured, why do I have to ask her?" I yelled: "Shut your beak! It's none of your business." Give me a drink, Ding Zhen's face flushed, He Kerenda looked at him lovingly, and then looked at me coldly: "I don't know you at all, what can I prove to you?" When Ding Zhen gave He Keren this look, he immediately felt like a spring breeze, and his expression was very different.I said again: "I just came from your chicken farm." He Keren sneered: "This fool has been boasting about how great your supernatural powers are, Mr. Wei, but you have said this sentence three times." I was secretly annoyed, but I couldn't think of anything else to say besides starting with this sentence. He Kerren satirized me, so I had no choice but to endure it, and said, "At the chicken farm, I fed the chickens for you—" He Ke said: "You have said it, and I have answered it." I raised my voice: "I also got food for an old man who has been hungry for two days and has limited mobility. The old man's surname is He. He is the owner of the chicken farm. When you went to work in the chicken farm, he took you in." As I said that, I stared at her fiercely, He Keren said to Huang Tang: "Director Huang, this person..." She didn't tell me how I was, but if she didn't say it, it was clear that she was saying that I was crazy. Huang Tang sighed, and I said again: "Then old man He, who is the person who died three years ago that I met?" I ask this based on two points: 1. I did meet an old man surnamed He at the chicken farm, talked to him, and cooked for him.2. I also stated with He Keren that I knew about the death of He Zhenghan three years ago. He Keren's attitude towards me has always been indifferent and disdainful, until she heard me ask this question, she was extremely surprised, and asked back: "What did you say?" I said, "It was you who asked me to repeat what I said: Who is that old man surnamed He?" He Keren frowned: "I don't know which old man surnamed He you are talking about." I said in a deep voice, "The one at the chicken farm—" I then told the direction and location of the house where the old man surnamed He lived. As I kept talking, He Keren's face changed all the time. When I finished speaking, her face was ashen, startled and angry. She didn't ask me, but said to Huang Tang, "Director Huang, what do you mean? You still think I'm murdering you!" A murderer, that's why you asked someone to make up a boring story to scare me?" Huang Tang held up his hands: "It's none of my business. A few hours ago, Mr. Wei did go to the chicken farm and saw an old man surnamed He who was inconvenient to move, and talked to him—" I said, "We talked for at least half an hour." Ding Zhen yelled nervously from the side: "Murderer? What murderer?" But no one paid attention to this great inventor, He Keren took a few breaths: "No, there is no such person in my chicken farm—" She pointed at me: "The house you mentioned used to be lived by Uncle He. After Uncle He died, it has been empty. You...you..." It seemed that she also wanted to say "Damn you", but she finally restrained herself from saying it. I wanted to say something else, but Huang Tang was behind me and tugged at my clothes. I understood what he meant—it was meaningless to argue with Ho Keren here.The chicken farm is not the South Pole, so it is very easy to visit it once. So I just snorted, turned around and walked out, Ding Zhen called: "Mr. Wei——" I think the behavior of this great inventor is similar to that of an idiot, so I don't bother to pay attention to him. As soon as I got out of the ward, I said in a deep voice, "Why is she so shameless that she doesn't admit anything?" Huang Tang said: "I don't think she is denying—" I rushed up angrily, and said sharply: "What do you mean by saying that, I am the devil!" But Huang Tang said: "Let's go right away, we will know when we arrive." In his words, he seemed to disbelieve my experience in the chicken farm. I raised my hand and wanted to punch him, but he was familiar with me and knew my intentions quite well. Before I made a move, he With a lunge, he jumped away. I kept staring at him with sharp eyes until he begged for mercy: "If you look at me like this again, I can't drive anymore." Only then did I snort, and look away from blaming him—he and I were the only two people in the car, and he drove the car. Before getting in the car, he even hinted that I had mental problems and might not be suitable for driving. , which fueled my fire. After a while, the car arrived at the gate of He's Chicken Farm. It was the same as when I came here just now. The signboard—— That signboard! The signboard was still written with the words "He's Chicken Farm", but when I came here just now, the paint on the signboard was peeling off, and it was very dilapidated; but looking at it now, it is quite new and clean, not old at all. Readers, what happened next has appeared in many novels, even in Wesley's story, it is not new. In the story about the gas man, there was a similar moment when the environment changed. Situations of fundamental change. But it's one thing to hear someone describe such an episode, and quite another to experience it yourself. As soon as I saw the signboard changed, I opened the car door, jumped out, and ran to the door, which was also changed and had a strong lock. I yelled, "It's not here, you've come to the wrong place." Huang Tang came to my side and said, "This is the address." I shook my head: "That's why I went to the wrong place last time, there happened to be another He's Chicken Farm—" I spoke halfway, and stopped abruptly. Because that is absolutely impossible; it was just my idea when I was extremely surprised and had nothing to say. It is naturally very easy to unlock the lock, but my mind was in a mess at the time, so I didn't have any thoughts.I shrugged, climbed over the fence, and jumped in.Huang Tang also imitated me and chased after me. He said loudly, "Wesley, calm down, you have experienced so many strange things, this is just... a trivial matter." I snorted, really, it's a trivial matter, at the beginning, I thought it was an insult to ask me to participate in such a trivial matter; but I never expected that there would be such a sudden change Appear. I rushed in, and the two rows of houses were still the same, but the chicken coop was much newer, and the commotion of the chickens was not heard, but a "cracking" sound was replaced.I ran to the chicken coop first, opened the door, and saw that the chicken coop was very tidy, and in the trough, there were pipes pouring down food—automatic feeding equipment! When I was here last time, if there was such a device, there would be no reason why I couldn't see it. Moreover, I have dragged down 50 kilograms of feed per bag and dumped it into the trough, all of which cannot be dreamed by me. I turned around suddenly, because Huang Tang had been following me closely, so when I turned around, I almost touched his nose tip to nose tip. He wanted to say something again, so I waved my hand: "Don't say anything, I have to think about it, what happened." Huang Tang nodded, and I said again: "I mean, classify the nature of this matter." Huang Tang nodded again, and I told him about the last time I came to the chicken coop, Huang Tang's expression was also very strange. I pointed to the row of houses outside: "The house of the old man surnamed He is right there." We walked over with heavy steps, opened the door, the furnishings were exactly the same, but there was no one on the bed.Moreover, it doesn't look like someone has lived there before.However, even though it was an empty house, it was cleaned very cleanly. Obviously, the empty house was also cleaned by someone from time to time. I took a breath, stood in the room for a while, and then told Huang Tang how I had talked with the old man surnamed He here. Huang Tang's expression was even more weird, and he kept nodding his head. I went out again and entered He Keren's residence. In He Keren's house, the changes have been quite large. There are audio equipment such as TV sets, and there are many more books. I went closer and saw two videotapes of "Legend of the White Snake", one was a long-form TV series and the other was a Beijing opera. I shook my head and said, "This Miss He seems to be very interested in "The Legend of the White Snake". When I came last time, a copy of "The Commentary on the Legend of the White Snake" was sitting next to the bed." Huang Tang pointed to the bookshelf: "This one?" He had found the book on the shelf, took it out, and gave me a nod.I said, "This is the book." Then, I said: "I didn't come to the wrong place. But the time between the two visits was only a few hours, and everything changed, but it seems that it has been several years." Huang Tang said in a deep voice, "Two possibilities." I motioned him to continue, and he said: "One possibility is that when you came here last time, there was a force that affected your brain activity, causing your brain to be misled, seeing, hearing, or I thought I did something that I never did.” I nodded, Huang Tang's analysis was very reasonable.All human feelings are determined by brain activity. If the brain activity is misguided, various feelings will be produced. The reason why I don’t use the word “unreal feeling” is because I think that there is no sense of reality. What is "real" or "not real", everything is the result of brain activity.When there is such an activity in the brain, there is this feeling, and when there is that kind of activity, there is that feeling.Feelings are feelings, there is no distinction between real and imaginary, truth is illusion, and illusion is true. This kind of thinking has existed since birth and has been greatly developed by many philosophers, but it has never been connected with the physiological activities of the brain. The activities of the brain can indeed be affected by external forces, resulting in various sensations.Some drugs can do this, and many more forces of unknown origin can do the same. Regarding the stories derived from the influence of external forces on brain activity, I used to have a story "Mangdian", which was described in great detail. Therefore, I can accept Huang Tang's analysis. I couldn't help but looked up and looked around—naturally, even if there was such a force, I couldn't see it, it was just a subconscious action. I said, "What about the second possibility?" Huang Tang said: "The second possibility is that when you came last time, you unintentionally passed through the time tunnel and went back to more than three years ago, then this situation will also happen." I was also thinking of this possibility, so I applauded sincerely: "Is there a third possibility?" Huang Tang shook his head and said, "Yes, but... I don't want to talk about it." I spread my hands: "I just want to say that I just saw a ghost—it's not the first time I've seen a ghost, but it's okay to say." Huang Tang took a deep breath: "But people and ghosts travel different ways. If you see ghosts so realistically, this... is really appalling." I walked around a few times, and besides these three possibilities, I couldn't think of any other possibilities. Huang Tang murmured again: "Then He Zhenghan's death is strange...after death, there may be mischief." People who died unjustly, ghosts are particularly prone to mischief, which is an integral part of ghost legends. After I heard it, my heart couldn't help but move.Huang Tang once handed over the data of the murder case in my hands, but as soon as I saw the photos in the data, I had a dispute with Huang Tang, and I didn't know the history of the murder case. Huang Tang said so, it can be seen that the murder case is very strange, and He Keren will be regarded as a suspect again——When I said that I saw the old man surnamed He at the chicken farm, she thought I was in collusion with Huang Tang, and made it up. A story to scare her.It can be seen that there must be many twists and turns in it. I asked, "What's so weird about the murder three years ago?" Huang Tang said: "The blame lies in the murder weapon used by the murderer and the reason for the death of the deceased." I said, "Surely he was killed?" Huang Tang was a little taken aback: "Do you think the murder case is related to today's events?" I smiled wryly: "Who knows—at first, I just wanted to find a lost chicken, and strange things have happened because of this. Naturally, I will do everything possible to track down the truth."
