Chapter 198 Storm Center

I was just listening to it, but when I was talking about it, Wen Tingxu suddenly stopped.

Although the night is dark, from the window, the lights of this city are still endless.

It is a season that makes people feel touching when it passes late spring. In such a quiet night, among the lights of thousands of homes outside the window, how many people are tossing and turning, and are intertwined with joy and sorrow?

Wen Tingxu was shaking his wine glass in his hand, and the crimson wine was spinning in the glass, but his eyes kept looking out the window.

I probably understand his feelings - he was a child back then, and he traveled thousands of miles to find his father with his mother, but he got the news that his parents defected with treasure and abandoned himself abroad.

This incident must have left an indelible mark or an indelible shame in his life.

I also understood why he was so frivolous, so lonely, so sloppy, so cold-hearted when he was in college. Although I don’t know what kind of disagreement he experienced after Wen Tingxu’s parents “defected”, it was definitely not a happy and warm experience.

However, Hua Yan has been eating and drinking indifferently today for some reason - was it because of the aroma of wine and food that Wen Tingxu had treated her to make her feel and touchless about Wen Mushan's bizarre experience in the Western Regions? Or for Asura, the bizarre events in humans' eyes were not a big deal?

But one thing I can be sure of is that she has no reaction to the word "Xiye".

This also shows two situations. One is that the strange things in Xiye place seem to have nothing to do with the Asura realm; the other is that Shen Yuliu is in the knowledge base in Hua Yan's mind, and there is no in-depth digging about Xiye at all.

The matter of Xiye Kingdom is also the record in the booklet given to me by the guest from Hell. From these records, I discovered the history of Xiye's conquest of the Three Kingdoms and plundering the iron pot back to the capital after Xiye conquered the Three Kingdoms, and believed that this incident was vaguely related to the "burden man".

However, the relationship between "Xiye's robbery" and "the scapegoat" is just out of my speculation and imagination. These connections are exactly the same as strange things such as "black ship", "faceless man", "brow engraving", etc., and even including the archaeological encounters of parents mentioned by Wen Tingxu today, they all have a common characteristic, that is, until now, their relationships are close and separated, and are all in the clouds and fog. You can't say that they have nothing to do with each other, but you can't find the inevitable connection!

They are like a set of dominoes far away, with the same shape and appearance, but because of the large spacing, even if one domino falls down, it will have no effect on the other dominoes.

Because there is no connection between them, or rather, we have not found that path yet.

However, in an instant, I suddenly realized something!

That path actually has a breakthrough point!

——Why are these strange things happening around us? Why are they all revolving around the people around me?

First there was Shen Yu, then Wen Tingxu. They grew up in different families in their early years, had very different experiences, and they all embarked on different life paths...

But in the end, their common point was that they all became my friends.

Even including Hua Yan, the "weird man", some of the power in the dark made her "come" to me!

If it is a coincidence, then I believe this is by no means a coincidence in pure probability theory! It is more like a coincidence designed by artificially!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shivered.

Have I been arranged by some kind of force and placed in the eyes of the storm of strange events?

Is everything around me unfolding?

Could I be the key to solving all mysteries?

However, I have never been prepared to solve puzzles - do I have the ability to penetrate the fog and discover the truth of the incident? Especially the power I face seems to be a strange, fierce, cruel and mysterious unknown force.

Judging from the strange things such as faceless men, scapegoats, hell visitors, etc., they seem to have inhuman abilities. They are still hiding in the dark and unable to figure out their whereabouts and purposes.

Yes, I was prepared to take the initiative to meet these strange people’s challenges. But now if I stand in the center of the storm, even if I don’t take the initiative, I will have no choice but to escape.

I gasped. If this was the case, I wouldn't be like before, always thinking about being Chen Yu's helper to get closer to the truth.

I have to take on my responsibility to dispel the fog and protect them.

I turned my head to look at the Hualang. She was still immersed in enjoying the delicious food. It seemed that the "pain on earth" was still not attractive to her.

Wen Tingxu obviously had been restraining his emotions, and at this moment, his emotions seemed to have relaxed.

"Are you okay?" I asked him.

"It's okay, after all, it happened many years ago." He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "but I never believed their judgment. My parents are not the kind of people who defected with treasures. Although they are cold-hearted, they are definitely not the kind of type who ignore their sons and leave them. Moreover, after so many years, I have been asking around, and there seems to be no trace of them in the world."

"How did you come to this conclusion at that time?"

Wen Tingxu sneered: "The lonely certificates are all vulnerable lonely certificates."

...

Things go back to that year.

Captain Sugar’s judgment on the murder and escape of Wen’s wife came from the autopsy of Wang Tuda.

Due to the long-term death and the special climate in the desert area, according to general procedures, the forensic doctor needs to cut open Wang Tuda's stomach to further determine his death time.

After multiple methods, Wang Tuda's death was twenty-five days ago, several days after Fei Tang returned to the desert from Yecheng for the second time.

But this is not the point. The point is that the forensic doctor found a sealed plastic bag in Wang Tuda's stomach, and there was a letter of help from migrant workers in the plastic bag.

The letter of help is written in a ballpoint pen, with a crooked handwriting. Perhaps because of the low level of education, there are many typos on the letter—

"Comrade Jing Cha (Police), we were locked up by Wen Musan (Wen Mushan) and wanted to kill us. Come and save us! Comrade Xiaofei (Tip) has been killed by him. The kids here (digging out) many treasures, gold and silver, Wen Musan wants to swallow the treasures in private and run away. He gives us the medicine next month, fascinates us, helps tie up, and kills us all, and wheat is buried in the sand mound, come and save us!"

The forensic doctor also found signs of being tied up and abused on Wang Tuda, which also shows that he was probably imprisoned during his lifetime, and also proved the "concealment" and "tied up" situation in the letter of help.
