I stayed there for a while before I said, "Colonel, those gemstones belong to Wang Qiying!" The colonel's voice was trembling, but he was very stern. He said, "It's not his, he's just a tramp!" I saw the veins on the Colonel's brow, and found that he was too agitated to speak rationally. I have known the colonel for many years and have had many contacts. He is a bad tempered, overconfident person with many shortcomings, but in any case, he can be regarded as an upright person, an upright gentleman, but now it seems that he What a rogue! Perhaps as he said, he is a human being, and human beings always have greed, but sometimes it is hidden, and sometimes there is no chance to express it. It is impossible for a person to have no greed at all!

I was thinking about how to say it. The colonel was already walking towards the door. I quickly jumped forward and stopped in front of him: "Where are you going?" The colonel smiled wryly and said, "Where else can I go? Of course, I'll go back to the office and give orders to arrest this bastard while waiting for my boss to reprimand me. What else can I do?" I also smiled bitterly: "Colonel, what's wrong with you, you are a senior police officer with a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, your life is very decent, why do you have such thoughts, you..."

Before I could finish my words, the colonel stretched out his hand, grabbed the clothes on my chest abruptly, pulled me over, and said in a calm voice, "Do you know what will happen to me if I have those gems? I can live in a house like a palace, I can have countless beauties around me, I can have whatever I want, I can..." I clapped my hands away vigorously, and, before he had finished, interrupted him: "Yes, those gems are enough to get you all this, but you are a thief!" The colonel said: "What does that matter, when you have money, who cares if you are a thief 7"

I really have nothing to say, because the look in the colonel's eyes shows that his emotions are in a state of fanaticism, and he has completely lost his proper reason. My judgment was correct, because the colonel's next action was even more surprising. He tapped his forehead with his hand: "I'm so stupid, so stupid. These gems are already in my hands, and they are already in my hands." My things were lost, but I handed them over to someone else, someone I thought was trustworthy, haha, the result is what it is now!" I really had an impulse at that time, I wanted to raise my hand and slap him twice, maybe that would wake him up.

But I didn't do that. The reason why I didn't hit him was because at this time, I had no intention of despising him. I just pitied him, really pitied him.When you really pity someone, you don't hit him! So, I put my hand up and just put it on his shoulder, I just pity him, not sympathy, but Jack must have thought I was pity him, and he turned his hand back and put it on the back of my hand. He said: "Wei, you don't know how much I have been hit. I already had that wealth, but now I lost it!" I took a breath: "You can't be regarded as having truly owned this batch of wealth, Wang Qiying is."

The colonel said angrily: "Wang Qiying is a bastard, he created everything, I will kill him!" What the colonel said at this time is naturally unreasonable, but his words made my heart move suddenly, and I immediately said: "I can't blame Wang Qiying, the matter is not caused by Wang Qiying, but the person Wang Qiying met first. The mysterious person, the one who gave him these treasures!" The colonel has fixed his eyes on me. If he is in a normal mood, I can naturally tell him about Wang Qiying's experience, but now, his mood is so abnormal, I told him, I'm afraid he won't be interested in listening, so I Just said: "I see you are too tired, take a good rest, I will send you back."

The colonel stayed for a moment before saying: "No need, I will go back myself!" As he said that, he walked towards the door of the study. I was really worried and followed him. Unexpectedly, I only took a step forward, and the colonel turned around and said loudly: "I said, I will go by myself!" He not only yelled at me, but also pushed hard on my chest. The force was so strong that I fell a step or two, but he turned around quickly, closed the door, and left go out. I heard his footsteps going down, he seemed to be below, and he roared loudly, and then, there was the sound of the door slamming shut.

I stood leaning against the table, and in an instant, I only felt extremely tired, which was real tiredness, and a person rarely felt this kind of tiredness coming from the bottom of his heart, unless it was suddenly Only when you have seen through everything and are not interested in everything at all, will you have such a feeling. I feel that I have known the Colonel for so many years, and I thought I had a thorough understanding of his character, but now that something like this has happened, and I am surrounded by strangers, what is in their hearts? I don't know what I'm thinking, I don't even know how much ugliness is hidden in my thoughts, when will it suddenly be exposed!

And this kind of situation cannot be avoided, then, after stripping off all the beautiful clothes, what is left in human life? I couldn't help but smiled wryly. At this moment, I really wanted to take a mirror and look at myself to see what kind of person I was.Of course, even if you look in the mirror, what you see is only your own surface. Let alone understanding the hearts of others, it is not easy for people to understand their own hearts. I did find a mirror, hold it in my hand, and face myself. However, I just glanced at myself in the mirror when the light suddenly went out.I was stunned for a moment, and the light went out suddenly. Before that, there was no sign, no sound, maybe there was a sound, but I didn't hear it at all.

I hurriedly opened the study. When I opened the door of the study, I heard the sound of drawing the curtains in the living room. Looking down, it was pitch black. I took two steps forward, and I was sure that someone was coming, not only that someone was coming, but also that it was the mysterious guest. So, where is Wang Qiying? I called him loudly first, but I didn't hear Wang Qiying's answer, but I heard the mysterious man's voice, he said: "Mr. Wei, when I came, there was no one. Now, it's just me and you." I walked down slowly, and the mysterious guest said again: "I'm sorry, I turned off the lights in your house, because I thought it's better for us to talk in the dark, I'm so sorry!"

I have already walked down the stairs and stood at the top of the stairs, "huh" said: "Forget it, you like to talk in the dark, just talk in the dark, although I don't like talking to you at all!" The man let out a helpless laugh, and I ran a few steps forward, it was my own home, I walked to a chair easily, and sat down. The man said: "Thank you for not deporting me, I really want to talk to you!" I said coldly: "You are not afraid that I will catch you again!" The man paused for a moment: "I don't think so, doing that will only scare me away, I think you also want to get something you need to know from me, you won't scare me away .” I raised my voice: "Yes, I won't scare you away again, I want to ask you, why did you give Wang Qiying those precious stones, those precious stones, where did you come from, who are you? " I asked a series of questions, the man remained silent until I stopped, and then said: "I have no malice at all, although, at the beginning, my purpose was for myself." I couldn't help laughing. Some people in the world gave away jewels worth billions of dollars to others, but for their own sake? I believe that anyone who heard such words would not know how to respond. I sneered for a long time before I said, "You gave him so many jewels, what do you want in return?" The man's voice sounded a little helpless, he said: "I just want to know how he feels after having those wealth." Still the same sentence, this person, in order to know how a person feels after having wealth, he is willing to pay such a price, I really doubt that he is not human! The man continued: "Maybe you don't understand..." He only said one sentence, and I interrupted him impetuously: "Of course I don't understand!" The man's voice sounded calm, and he said, "I'm doing an experiment..." There was a sudden movement in my heart, he didn't need to go on, I already understood what he meant.He paused for a moment, and immediately said again: "I want to know how a person who has nothing before suddenly becomes rich, how does he feel!" In the darkness, I reached out and stroked my face heavily. The man was silent, obviously waiting to hear my opinion. After a while, I said: "Actually, you shouldn't ask me again and again, you should understand what the result is." The man said: "If I understand, I won't come either!" I hummed and said, "You have hurt Wang Qiying. Originally, he was a homeless man with nothing, but his mood was very peaceful. Now, he is the most painful person in the world. When he thinks that he has such a Huge wealth, he will go crazy, and he can't think about it!" The man seemed to be justifying his behavior, and said anxiously: "Why? Isn't everyone on the earth pursuing wealth? At least as far as I know, it is true. If wealth can cause pain, why do people Do people still pursue them?" I frowned and said, "This question is very complicated, let me take you as an example..." I originally wanted to say, "Take you as an example, if you suddenly have a lot of wealth, it's the same." But I stopped in the middle of saying it. This sentence may be applicable to everyone's life. body, but it must not be applied to that person, because he is the one who gave that large amount of wealth to others casually! I stopped and stopped for a moment. At that moment, I thought of many extremely weird thoughts, but for a while, I couldn't sum up these weird thoughts. I changed my words again: "If this kind of thing happened to me, it would be the same, and in fact..." I stopped again, I really didn't want to tell him about Officer Song and Colonel Jack, but as soon as I stopped, I heard the man ask me anxiously, "Actually, what changed?" ?” I'm still silent. The man's voice was urgent, and full of excitement, he said: "As far as I know, those gems fell into the hands of the police, did my theory prove that everyone has greed in their hearts, Someone left with these gems?" The more I listened, the angrier I became. What did that person mean by saying that?His tone was so excited, it seemed like a scientist had discovered a major law, and he said that his theory had been confirmed. What is his theory? I said angrily, "Yes, a police officer who has served loyally for twenty years, couldn't stand the temptation, and escaped with these gems!" I heard a "pop" sound, the man seemed to be clapping his hands, or he was patting his thighs happily, so there was such a sound.He said: "Yes, you can't blame this police officer. He is a human being, isn't he? Everyone has the same weakness in their hearts, that is, greed. Everyone has it. This is my theory. Now I It can be confirmed!" The thoughts in my head were extremely chaotic, and I said loudly: "At least there is one exception, you!" The man said quickly: "I am different from you, I..." When he was talking here, he suddenly stopped, and for an instant, there was no sound at all, as if he had slipped out of his mouth in a moment of excitement, so he stopped it immediately! And even if he just slipped his mouth, it was enough to make me feel shocked. I couldn't help but stood up abruptly. At that time, I didn't say anything else, I just pressed him closely: "Is this why you want to talk to me in the dark?" It took a long time for the man to speak out, and his tone was very slow: "Yes, I look a bit strange to you." I sat down again. In fact, I didn't sit down, but felt my legs go weak and I fell into the chair. I took a deep breath and said weakly, "Where did you come from?" After I asked this sentence, before he could answer, I laughed helplessly: "You don't have to answer, even if you answer me in detail, I won't understand, right?" The man's voice sounded a little apologetic, and he said, "Yes, you won't understand, but your composure now is beyond my expectation. I can know why?" I thought about it, and then said: "There is nothing strange about this. First, I know that you have no malice towards me. If you have any ill intentions towards me, I have no ability to resist. Second, this kind of thing will definitely happen." What happened, our vision is not as narrow as you imagined, our work of exploring space is naturally very naive, but our imagination is infinite, it can go beyond hundreds of millions of light years!" The man sighed and said: "I agree, but you will never have a chance. As long as my theory is confirmed, then, inferred, you are walking on a road of destruction, a road of suicide. The further you go, the closer you are." perish!" I wanted to protest loudly to the man's words, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't utter a word. After a while, the man said again: "Can you provide me with some other materials to enrich my theory!" The feeling of extreme fatigue flew up again, and I waved my hands in the dark, regardless of whether he could see: "You go, anyway, I already know who you are, you like to talk to me If so, you can come to me anytime.” I heard footsteps, he was walking towards me, he came to my side, and asked me in a very concerned tone: "Is there anything wrong with you?" I smiled wryly: "There's nothing wrong, it's just that I'm too tired, really tired!" He immediately said, "Okay, I'll come back another day." I heard his footsteps walking towards the door, and I guessed that he had already arrived at the door, so I said suddenly: "Are you really here to prove your theory?" The man said: "Yes! How is it?" I smiled wryly, and said, "It's nothing. If your theory is confirmed, wouldn't we have no hope?" The man paused for a while before saying, "I'm really sorry, but if that's the truth, there's nothing I can do!" I didn't say anything, just waved my hand again, when I remembered that we were getting along in total darkness, the man had already opened the door, and I saw a gorilla-like back, which disappeared in a flash. When I saw his back, I really wanted to call out to him again, but I had already opened my mouth, but no sound came out. I think his conversation with me this time is very helpful to me. At least I already know what kind of "person" he is, his purpose, and many details. , he can see my waving, I believe that now, I can turn on the light at will, that is to say, he has the ability to stop the current at any time. However, these are not the fundamental problems. The fundamental problem is that he has proved the greatest crisis of human beings, and he has concluded that the greed in people's hearts will lead human beings to the road of death! I sighed, and went to pull the lamp beside the chair. Sure enough, the lamp turned on as soon as I pulled it. I slumped on the chair and closed my eyes. Maybe I was really tired. After a while, I fell asleep. When I awoke, it was broad daylight, quite dark with all the curtains drawn, but I was sure it was broad daylight, and I got up, drew the curtains, and turned away from the glare. Sunshine, staring at the living room in a daze. At first, my mind was a little numb, but then I remembered everything that happened yesterday. I don't have to worry about Jack, he will take care of himself, but what about Wang Qiying?Where did he go?Did he go before Jack?Why can't I remember to go to him last night? I did some gymnastics, went to the phone, and made a call to the colonel's office. The answer I received left me stunned for a while. The other side of the phone told me that the colonel didn't go to work today! I immediately called his home again, but no one answered. For the next day, I searched for him in every possible place, but he never appeared again. The disappearance of Colonel Jack and the disappearance of his right-hand man, Police Officer Song, became a closely guarded mystery, and I never saw him again. As for that "person", he never came to see me again, maybe he already had a conclusion, so he left too. What about Wang Qiying, I saw him again in the future, but it was in a lunatic asylum, and he beheaded people at the intersection with a knife, and he was locked in the lunatic asylum, listed as the most incurable category. If you must ask me where Colonel Jack has gone, I will give a very mysterious answer: Colonel Jack was swallowed up by "year". In ancient legends, "Nian" is a ferocious beast that swallows everyone. Therefore, when people who have passed the New Year's Eve meet each other, everyone should congratulate them.No one has seen what the "year" is like, just like no one can see clearly how deep the greed in his heart is, and when it will be fully exposed.So, if you have not been swallowed by your own desires, then you should accept my congratulations, congratulations!
