Part 2 Chapter 54: Bai Kai's Explanation
I took a sip of water and signaled to Bai Kai that I was ready to listen attentively.
Bai Kai first asked me a few questions, such as where Qin Yiheng had taken me to, what I had seen, etc.
At first I thought he was trying to find out something on purpose, but later I found out that he actually knew everything about Qin Yiheng and I's actions.
Because the way he asked questions was that he would first mention a place and then ask me what I found there.
Gradually, I lost my guard. I was afraid that I would not be able to deceive him even if I made up a lie. However, I still tried to avoid the main point and talked about trivial things.
Bai Kai didn't react much, but after asking the question, he asked again: "Did you see things in Jiuzi's house and in the plaster statue?"
After I answered "yes", he laughed twice and said, "It seems that I really overestimated you. It turns out that you have never considered whether other people can also see what you see?"
I felt a little dizzy. Those filths would certainly not be easily seen by ordinary people. Besides, when we were in the house or smashing the plaster statue with Qin Yiheng, it was late at night. If the yin energy was strong, it would be easy for people to bump into things. So I never thought there was anything suspicious about it.
So I asked Bai Kai: "So what you mean is that I am the only one who can see those things? I have been in this industry for so long, and I have been exposed to a lot of filth."
Bai Kai snorted and said, "It's too damn late for you to realize it now, but you are right. Only you and Qin Yiheng can see those filth!"
I was surprised: "You mean I have yin and yang eyes?"
Bai Kai said "NO" three times in a row and said, "It's because you have something on you."
I immediately thought of what he had said back home, and I started to wonder again.
Bai Kai patted my shoulder and said, "With your IQ, if Qin Yiheng hadn't protected you, you would have died eight times. The things on you were given to you by Qin Yiheng. Didn't he tell you that he used the Yinkou to bring the things back from the closet? Didn't he tell you where the things went?"
I thought to myself, "Oh no, does this mean this thing is on me?"
He snorted disdainfully, but nodded nonetheless.
To be honest, I didn't feel scared when I saw him nod. I don't know why, but I felt sad. If what Bai Kai said was true, then Qin Yiheng lied to me again, or he had been lying to me all along.
If that's the case, then those so-called coffin lids, my death date, and the like, are all props he made to restrain me?
He had entered the closet early in the morning, so he found something and took me to break the Nine Sons Formation? But why did he do that?
Why must he take me with him? Just because I trust him?
I know that it is impossible for someone like Bai Kai to comfort me. In fact, it is useless for anyone to comfort me now.
I took a gulp of water and asked Bai Kai, "If what you said is true, why did Qin Yiheng do this?"
Bai Kai said: "Because you are the only one who is suitable. No matter which Qin Yiheng is, you are the best candidate."
I was shocked again when I heard this, "Which Qin Yiheng?" Is there more than one Qin Yiheng? This is not a science fiction movie, how can it be cloned?
Bai Kai said, "Don't be nervous, sit down first." Then, he added, "After all, there is only one Qin Yiheng, but I don't know what to call the one he brought out of the closet. Anyway, we are using the same body. If you don't understand, you can call him Qin Erheng."
I was even more confused. Bai Kai had to explain to me that according to his inference, the thing Qin Yiheng brought out was very powerful, and it seemed that he had reached an agreement with Qin Yiheng, that is, to take turns using Qin Yiheng's body, when one party "becomes" Qin Yiheng, the other party will attach to me, this is not only more convenient for exchange, but also no matter where I am in the house, it will be by my side and always under its control.
After I heard the explanation, I felt indescribably depressed, and I couldn't help but recall every little detail of the past. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but after thinking about it, the normal moments in the past seemed like a conspiracy. And I finally understood why Qin Yiheng would not admit that he wrote me a note. Could it be that another Qin Yiheng did it, so he didn't remember it?
If we analyze it this way, could it be that two Qin Yihengs ran out that night at the bath center? That's why he told me that this one was Qin Yiheng and that one was also Qin Yiheng?
When I thought of this, I suddenly realized something was wrong. Damn it, if that's the case, then both Qin Yihengs have come out, then who is the person who is talking to me? And there's also a Qin Sanheng?
I looked at Bai Kai. His words were outrageous enough, more outrageous than anything I had ever heard before. I used to think that what I saw and heard at that time was the weirdest thing in my life, but I didn't expect that surprises are often fucking in the back.
Bai Kai is really unfathomable. I vaguely guess that Qin Yiheng's previous statement that someone was monitoring us was probably done by him. Of course, this is based on the premise that Qin Yiheng did not lie.
I was a little speechless, and it took me a long time to speak. I asked Bai Kai, since he had already said so much, why not tell me everything he knew so that I could try to connect the questions in my mind.
Bai Kai shook his head and said that he didn't know a lot of things, and he didn't want to get involved in this matter at all. In the past, he just often took jobs in Long Street. Although he didn't do anything too harmful, it was not a good thing. Then suddenly one day, a man with six fingers on his hand came to his door and asked him to help find something. The price was unusually high, and he paid a deposit of one-third at the time. He was also greedy for money, so he took it. Unexpectedly, the six-fingered man actually took him to a large ancestral hall, but he didn't find the thing, so he had to help the six fingers carry a large wardrobe out of it. At that time, the two agreed that the wardrobe would be temporarily placed at Bai Kai's house, and the six fingers would come back with the money to pick it up.
As a result, he waited for half a year, but Liuzhi never showed up. Bai Kai felt that he had been cheated and was very angry, so he sold the wardrobe in Long Street and the price was not bad.
However, half a month later, the wardrobe returned to his home without any warning.
Then Qin Yiheng came to the door and said that he heard from Long Street that Bai Kai had sold such a wardrobe before, so the two of them got to know each other.
My heart tightened when I heard this. With Six Fingers' obvious physical features and this incident, this must be the Six Fingers who sold me the house.
I quickly asked Bai Kai: "What did Liuzhi ask you to help find?"
Bai Kai uttered two words: "Address book."
My heart began to clench. I checked the approximate location of the ancestral hall that Bai Kai mentioned, and it was indeed the Wan family's ancestral hall. Could it be that the address book had been in the ancestral hall before?
I asked Bai Kai: "What exactly is that address book that Liuzhi mentioned?" Actually, what I wanted to ask was, is it a person or an object?
I didn't expect that Bai Kai's words would make my knotted heart become a dead knot.
He said: "Before, I thought the address book was a book, but then I suddenly realized that the address book was people, all the people who had been to that ancestral hall."
I subconsciously exclaimed "Ah". Although the idea that the address book is a person is scary, I have already accepted it in my heart.
But now according to what he meant, the address book doesn’t just belong to Yuan Zhen?
Qin Yiheng and I are already in the address book?
I looked at my palms, and the lines on them were the same as before. I thought to myself, 'Is there something hidden in my hands? I just can't see it?'
I hurriedly asked, "How did you find out? Is there something extra in your hand?"
Bai Kai shook his head and said, "I am only speculating based on the results later. Didn't you notice that everyone who went to the ancestral hall was targeted?"
I was getting more and more confused. According to what he said, it wasn't him who was secretly monitoring Qin Yiheng and me? Then who was his mother?
I thought about it, and as far as I know, the people who have been to the ancestral temple include Yuan Zhen, me, and Qin Yiheng. If what Bai Kai said is true, then Liu Zhi and Bai Kai must be included.
Are we all address books?
Then why was Yuan Zhen killed?
Thinking about this, I suddenly felt that I had come to an understanding. Before, whether it was me or Qin Yiheng, we had always guessed that Yuan Zhen had some unspeakable secret and was looking for a mysterious house.
But now that Bai Kai reminded him, could it be that Yuan Zhen was not looking for a mysterious house at all, and everything he did was to protect himself? And he failed, so he was killed?
Who's next? Damn, this is like a serial murder case in a mystery novel.
I thought that the six-fingered man had disappeared for a long time. Damn, it turned out that he was not deliberately hiding from us, but was also killed?
I briefly explained my analysis and mentioned my previous guess that the address book was on the lines of Yuan Zhen's palms. Then I asked Bai Kai, "Does this mean that our lives are in danger now?"
Bai Kai said, "If you are afraid of death, you should not have entered this business in the first place! I don't know why that Yuan Zhen died, but that Six Fingers must still be alive, because he is different from us."
I wanted to ask him what was different, but before I opened my mouth I realized what was going on - six-fingered hands are different from ours. If the address book really was on people's hands, six-fingered hands would obviously not meet the requirements.
I'm really getting more and more confused and regret not drinking two cans of Red Bull just now.
At this moment, sleepiness began to come to me, like a debt collector. Maybe I subconsciously wanted to avoid the problems in front of me, so I simply lay down on the bed, rubbed my temples, and digested what Bai Kai said.
Six Fingers is the culprit who led us into the True Dragon Bureau in Jiuzi Town. So his congenital deformity has become an advantage now? He can freely enter and exit the ancestral hall and escape unscathed?
I sighed and asked Bai Kai: "What are your plans next?"
In fact, when I first said this, I subconsciously thought that the person next to me was Qin Yiheng. We have experienced this situation too many times together, and we have become fucking accustomed to it.
Bai Kai also lay down and said, "Many things still need to find Qin Yiheng to have an explanation. However, since he slipped away, he will definitely not let anyone find him. We can only wait. Qin Yiheng will definitely show up next month."
I don't know why Bai Kai is so sure, and I'm too lazy to ask. There's no point in planning for next month now. I've seen too many plans fail to keep up with changes. What else can I do now? I might as well just take a nap here at Bai Kai.
I didn't even take off my clothes and fell asleep immediately.
