Chapter 5 Chapter 4 Batu's Old "Game"

Everyone was stunned, because Wen Baoyu still wanted to say that those people were wax figures, disappeared, met fire and melted away! Hu Shuo and Wen Baoyu have a deep friendship. Although he also opposed it, he said it differently: "Reserve it first, and don't discuss it for now." Wen Baoyu still wanted to "combat the Confucianists with their tongues", but thinking about it, most of them felt that this idea was impossible, so they didn't insist on it anymore, but their eyes rolled around, and I don't know what assumptions they were making again. I stood up: "Thinking wildly like this won't help---"

Liang Chenmei rushed to say: "That's why we have to take practical action!" They said, and looked at Wen Baoyu in a demonstration. Bai Su said: "Xiao Bao is pitiful enough, don't provoke him anymore!" Wen Baoyu said bitterly: "There may be a mysterious black hole in that place. Once a person falls into it, he can't get out and disappears forever. Be careful!" When Liangchen Meijing heard this, she acted very frightened. The two hugged each other, their bodies trembling, and even their teeth touched each other, making noises, and everyone except Wen Baoyu laughed.

After messing around for a while, Batu said: "It's finally rewarding to come to see you. At least, I have met so many young friends, and I feel like I am much younger!" Liangchen Meijing stood beside Batu, one on each side: "We still have to go on adventures side by side, please give me your advice!" Batu laughed very happily, and stretched out his hand to scratch their hair. It seemed that it was a foregone conclusion that they would go to Finland.I comforted Wen Baoyu: "Although this incident is strange, it may be unremarkable if it continues to develop. On the contrary, it is very ordinary at the beginning, and it may be very interesting."

Wen Baoyu said lazily, unable to bring himself to his senses: "Try to illustrate it with an example." I glanced at Batu and thought to myself, how many interesting stories can be unearthed from this person, for example, what he has been engaged in in the past ten years is worth investigating. The beautiful scenery on a good day skipped away again, Wen Baoyu looked at their backs with a look of admiration, and suddenly sighed: "People really can't grow old, once they get old, their ambitions will fade away!" I shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wen Baoyu blinked: "Isn't it? Back then, when I stole to Antarctica, I left as soon as I said, so I didn't have any worries." I was about to reprimand him, but Bai Su said: "Xiaobao, this proves that you have grown up and matured, and you will never behave like a child again." Bai Su understands the psychology of teenagers very well. Sure enough, when she said this, Wen Baoyu was very happy: "Yes, these twin girls are not big enough to join in this kind of fun." When Batu heard this, he let out a heavy snort. Wen Baoyu was a smart person, and thinking that what he just said offended Batu, he hurriedly made a grimace and flattered him: "If it wasn't for that group of people who happened to meet If you leave the matter, the whole matter will definitely be over, how can anyone pursue it? If things develop unexpectedly, it is all because of Mr. Batu in the solar system."

Batu shook his head: "It's outrageous, talking more exaggerated than Wesley, I really don't know what kind of atmosphere it is." In the next two days, the topic of course still could not be separated from that incident, and whenever I had a chance, I tried to find out what Batu was doing in Finland, but to no avail.On the contrary, in some of his conversations with Wen Baoyu, Hu Shuo, and Liang Chen Meijing, there were quite a few leaks. The following are those conversations.The conversation continued within two days, and naturally there was no prior arrangement. I grouped it together because the content of the conversation was related to Batu's activities in Finland.

Hu said he is an entomologist, and he suddenly mentioned: "I also want to go to Finland. Near the Arctic Circle, there are many strange insects. One insect can even pierce the hard frozen soil and lay its eggs in the frozen soil ten centimeters deep. go." Batu's answer was: "Ah, that's really not that simple. The hardness of the permafrost is very high, almost like a stone. It is not easy to excavate with a machine." From this conversation, it can be inferred that Batu once excavated frozen soil in Finland.The earth is frozen at low temperature, there is no special reason, and no one will dig it, so Batu's actions are very special.

When Wen Baoyu listened to Batu's narration again, he asked: "What were you doing near the athletes' village at that time?" Batu didn't have any precautions against Wen Baoyu, so he casually said, "I'm following a dog──" He said such a sentence, which made everyone who heard it very interested. Everyone looked at him, but he immediately realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, shook his head vigorously, and did not give any explanation. Although Wen Baoyu and Liangchen Meimei uttered a series of questions like cannonballs, but he was like a gourd with its mouth sawn, and did not utter a single sound.

I knew very well that Batu's words were leaked by accident, and there would be no further explanation, so I didn't ask him any questions at all, but I just felt very strange in my heart. First of all, he is an excellent intelligence officer, and there should not be such a situation of "leaking his mouth". Unless this matter lingers in his mind, thinking about it day and night, and his thoughts are occupied by this matter every second, people will always make mistakes, then there will be this kind of unknowingly, say a sentence The situation in half a sentence. When he didn't explain later, he showed me several times that I pretended not to see me, which shows that he felt that his "mistake" was quite serious. .

This made me suspicious again. He should have been thinking about the "disappearance" incident these two days, but he was able to put aside the original matter in Finland and come to me from thousands of miles away. thinking about it? This made me feel that he must have something important hidden in his heart. (Everyone must be very surprised why I have spent so much pen and ink on what Batu has been doing in the past ten years, and even used it as a title in the third section. Of course, there are many reasons. After reading it, you will naturally know that things are quite different. Accidental accident, in advance, totally unpredictable.)

And what Batu said was also weird and inexplicable, which was also the reason for the continuous questioning."I was following a dog," he said. If he said he was following a person, it would be nothing, very common, but following a dog was extremely unusual. It can only be inferred that he was engaged in an unusual business in Finland-this kind of speculation is naturally too general, but until there is no further information, it has to be so. For some unknown reason, the beautiful scenery on a good day suddenly burst into laughter again. Batu watched from the side, and was very moved: "It has been many years since anyone laughed so brightly." Liang Chenmei said: "How come? Life is so beautiful, everyone should laugh." Batu shook his head: "Beautiful? A few, many miserable." Liangchen Meijing probably rarely saw such a serious expression, so he stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything. Batu's words made me very suspicious again - how could he have such a sigh?If this exclamation is related to his life in the past ten years, could it be that his life is not good?Or had he been exposed to misery during those years? Most likely such inferences can be made. Two days later, Batu and Liangchen Meijing's "three-person exploration team" set off. I took out the clues I had speculated about Batu's mysterious life in ten years and discussed it with Bai Su. Bai Su frowned: "What is that?" clue." I smiled wryly: "He didn't reveal anything, so we can only speculate from these clues." Bai Su suddenly asked: "You are so interested in his life in the past ten years, why?" I thought for a while: "Naturally, it's curiosity, but also as a challenge to my reasoning ability, more... more..." Bai Su smiled: "The concept is still very vague?" I waved my hand vigorously: "Yes, and it is very weird. I have a vague feeling that what he has been doing in the past ten years is related to the disappearance of those students." Bai Su was stunned for a while: "How come?" I spread my hands and said, "I can't say it. When Batu does something, he is persistent. He will not put things aside halfway to do another thing. Didn't you hear him say that that day, near the athletes' village, he was following a dog?" Bai Su tilted his head: "Yes, I don't know what it means?" I said: "Anyway, he has important things to do, but suddenly he started investigating the disappearance and came all the way to find me. It can be inferred that what he was doing was related to the disappearance." Bai Su thought about it, for a while, he didn't express his approval or disapproval of my opinion, and after a while, he said: "Then why didn't he say it?" I asked and snorted: "Two possibilities, one is that he himself felt it vaguely; the other is that he knew it clearly, but kept it from me." I became angry and couldn't help being a little excited: "This guy is a Mongolian, not me. Races are always a little weird." Bai Su looked at me and reproached me: "You have dealt with aliens more than once, why is your mind getting narrower and narrower? Are you all from Earth?" I laughed: "We are all cosmic beings, monsters, they are all of the same kind." Bai Su raised his hand, and stopped arguing with me: "Accordingly, Batu is not a person who hesitates to talk and talk, so I'm afraid there is something wrong with him." I was very bored in my heart, so I let out a long breath, Bai Su said: "I hope the beautiful scenery on a good day can help me." I didn't think so: "This pair of troublemakers, I'm afraid it won't help." Bai Su dotes on them very much, at this moment, just thinking of them, he also smiles from mouth to mouth, looking like he likes them. That night, before going to bed, I left the study and passed the door of the guest room. The light in the corridor was not too bright. A mark made. That's an arrow pointing a turn. The transparent paint used is specially made, and after drying, it can only be seen under a certain brightness of light and at a specific angle.I happened to see it, and it was not a coincidence, because I passed by the door of the guest room countless times a day, and there was always one time I could see it. I was stunned for a while, and the first thing I thought of was naturally Wen Baoyu and Liang Chen Meijing, so I couldn't help muttering: "It's too much." Because there is Chen Changqing's big house for them to play, it's not enough, they actually play the treasure game, and they come to me. But when I thought about it, I felt that there was a lot of trouble. Young people nowadays are very modern. Even if they play treasure games, they must have a lot of tricks. All kinds of electronic equipment come out together. Only middle-aged people can use hidden arrows like this. Use, the method is very old. I naturally thought of Batu again. But if Batu didn't say anything, why would he make such a mystery? While thinking about it, the meaning of the arrow is to ask people to push the door to enter, indicating that there is a lot of things in the room. I turned the handle, pushed the door in, and turned on the light.The furnishings of the guest room are simple, and I sometimes come in to take a nap, a room in my own residence, of course I am not familiar with it. I stood in the center of the room and turned around slowly. When I turned halfway, I saw a red thread hanging from a book on the third shelf of a row of bookshelves.That may not mean anything, someone accidentally clipped it, but it is also possible that there is another "instruction". I went over and took down the book, which was very interesting to me. Its title was "Wesley Endeavor", a work of American writer Howard Skeeter. This "Wesley" is naturally not me, but a great Christian, church revivalist and social reformer in England in the eighteenth century.His name is John, and after his surname is translated into Chinese, it happens to be "Wesley".I don’t know when, I happened to pass by a bookstore, I saw it and bought it, and after reading it, I haven’t touched it again. A few little ghosts probably wouldn’t be interested in this kind of book explaining religious teachings. It may have been clipped on purpose. I opened that page and found a piece of extremely thin paper, about ten centimeters square. There are faint handwriting on that piece of paper, and it takes a pencil with a soft core to carefully smear it lightly to make the handwriting appear-this is a very old method, so old that only Batuna A generation will use it. I was so angry and funny, Batu didn't know what the hell was going on, I picked up the piece of paper, went to the study, found a suitable pencil, and daubed lightly on the paper, thinking in my heart: What Batu wants to pass on The news, must be irrelevant.Because he didn't mention it, I might not be able to find out the tricks for a year or so. If it's an important thing, wouldn't it be called a delay? Thinking about it, the handwriting on the thin paper has been revealed: under the rear bumper. I muttered and cursed, Batu's ancient method is very impatient, but it also has a certain attraction, step by step, you must follow along. I went downstairs, Bai Su asked upstairs, "Go out?" I said: "No, Batu played tricks. Didn't you notice that there is an arrow symbol on the door of the guest room that is not easy to detect?" Bai Su said: "No." I said: "He said... probably hid something on the bumper of my car, I hope it's not a time bomb." Under the rear bumper of the car, I easily removed a tin box the size of a pack of cigarettes. On one side of the tin box, there is a rather strong magnet, so it will be attracted to the bumper.This kind of box is not uncommon, and it is usually used to store sundries. I was impatient, and as soon as I took the box in my hand, I wanted to open it.But after a while, I felt that it was very inappropriate. If Batu really wants to send me some information, I have been with him for three days, and he has no reason not to say it directly, but to use that kind of ghostly method. If this is just a game, just a kind of prank, then it is very possible that once the box is opened, something embarrassing and embarrassing will happen to me, such as an unknown poisonous insect flying out and biting me, and this kind of Embarrassing things will inevitably become a laughing stock in the future. So, I didn't open it right away, and went upstairs with the iron box. Bai Su was at the door of the study. She always liked light-colored silk nightgowns, slender and flowing, elegant and charming. When it came to the tissue paper: "The trick is so old, what's in the box?" I laughed: "I dare not open it casually, because it is very strange, and I am afraid that it is a prank played by Batu's childlike innocence. Or he just wanted to play a little trick for a joke, but asked me to take it away, and he will lose his fame for a lifetime." Bai Su also laughed - at that time, no matter how we thought about it, we didn't feel that the matter was serious, and there were many things that were really unpredictable. Bai Su said: "I have to open it and take a look." I nodded: "Of course." I have a pair of gear designed to be used in this situation, which is a strong tempered glass shield - the kind of glass that can withstand close-range fire from a .38 caliber pistol.Inside the cover is a pair of remote-controlled, very flexible mechanical arms, all produced by the Yun family's precision instrument factory. I took out the device, connected it to the power supply, put the box in, and then opened the box with the mechanical arm. The result of being so focused on the matter made both me and Bai Su laugh. Inside the iron box, there is only a key, which is quite long, and it can be seen at a glance that it is used for a bank safe, and there is also a small note with a signature on it. Bai Su and I looked at each other and smiled for a while, and at the same time felt that the matter was quite unusual. If it is not important, it will not be stored in the bank safe.Batu acted in a very measured manner, and would never play tricks to the extent of using a bank safe.It can be seen from this that he really has something to give to me. I looked at Bai Su, and Bai Su also looked blank, obviously she didn't know why Batu did this. I took out the box, and there was the bank's name on the key. The signature looked very complicated, but the more complicated it was, the easier it was to imitate. Batu's meaning was very clear, and he wanted me to fake the signature to open the safe. Bai Su suggested: "Go to the guest room and see if there are any other tricks." The bank is closed at night, so I have to wait until tomorrow morning. My temper, with such an unexpected discovery, I naturally have to make all kinds of assumptions, so most of them can't sleep. What Bai Su means is, if I find something else , can also entertain long nights. When we arrived at the door of the guest room, Bai Su studied the arrow on the door first, and found that when the door was pushed open, the arrow was very easy to see, and pointed directly at the bookshelf—this discovery overturned my assumption that the matter would not be serious.That naturally made me even more anxious to know what was in the safe. Bai Su and I spent nearly an hour searching in the guest room, but found nothing. That night, I did not sleep well. I woke up early the next morning. When I arrived at the bank, it hadn’t opened yet. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the gate of the bank opened.The signature style has already been practiced, and there is absolutely no problem. When I opened the safe, I couldn't help but blurted out "his grandma's". That's six tapes. Audio tapes are naturally a very good method of information transmission, but there is a disadvantage: without mechanical cooperation, it is impossible to know what the content is.Moreover, those six volumes are ultra-miniature audio tapes, and the tapes are rolled up, no bigger than a dime coin. I know that this kind of ultra-miniature audio tape is a product of top technology, and it is by no means available to ordinary people.In Batu's capacity, it is not difficult to obtain it, and a small tape can run for 60 minutes at a certain speed, and it is very useful for recording conversations.There are as many as six volumes in total. If all the voices are recorded, it will be a rather thick book when it is converted into words. In addition to the audio tape, there is also a folded white paper. When I opened it, I was inexplicably excited again. It was obviously written in Batu's handwriting, "The things I can't tell you are all in it. You can listen to it, listen to it." After that, I hope you can tell me what happened." That last sentence baffled me again. What is recorded on the tape is naturally his life in the past ten years, so why doesn't he know what happened and wants me to tell him?This person is really playing more and more tricks. I have the equipment that can operate this kind of ultra-miniature audio tape, otherwise it would be really troublesome, and I am afraid that I will have to go abroad to find it. Hurriedly rushing home, Bai Su also anxiously wanted to know what was going on. The tapes were not numbered, and we didn't know which volume to listen to first—a major difficulty and a waste of our time.Because the voices recorded on the tapes are innumerable, not only are there different people speaking, but the language they use is also extremely complicated, even including the Mongolian Daur language. If we know the order and listen to it in order, it will be easier to understand the ins and outs of the whole thing. But things are complicated, and we didn't have the good luck to get the first volume all at once, so we had to listen to it upside down, wait until we finally figured out the sequence, and listened to it again. It took a very long time, and it was already the second volume. It's early morning. In other words, it took more than twenty hours in total. During these 20 hours, we just chewed and ate bread indiscriminately. We really didn't want to eat it, drank a lot of water, and felt nervous.In the panic and confusion, I was particularly prone to thirst; I also drank a lot of alcohol. When I was overwhelmed or panicked, drinking alcohol could slightly calm me down. The contents of the tapes are truly unbelievable. Although they have been sorted out, they must be in order, but there are still many places in it that are not easy to understand. The following is the collated contents of the tapes.
