069 A lot of things
"In fact, Qiu Ruide is dead."
Sun Zigui's words made Zhao Jiyou and I open their mouths in surprise and didn't know what to say.
My mood slowly calmed down, and I let myself look at Sun Zigui calmly and asked, "What do you mean by this? Is Qiu Ruide dead?"
"The real Qiu Ruide is dead!" A faint look appeared on Sun Zigui's face, and then he said righteously: "But the fake Qiu Ruide is not dead!"
I suddenly thought of what Kong Zhengyang told us when we first took over this case.
Ten years ago, Qiu Ruide fell into a cliff and died on the spot. It is impossible to resurrect from the dead. If Qiu Ruide was really the one who died back then, then the one who is in the interrogation room next door would not be Qiu Ruide himself!
"Tell us what you know in full, don't miss it!" I don't think things are completely simple. Sun Zigui, who was sitting opposite us, should be an insider. So far, there is only one clue we can grasp.
Sun Zigui asked me for a glass of water, and I got up and poured him a glass of water. Sun Zigui took the water and took a sip. The memories in his eyes became more and more intense.
"I am an orphan, and I don't know who my parents are. When I remember, I was in an orphanage. At that time, there were many children in the orphanage, and we were one of them."
Sun Zigui said that it was them, and it should have a lot to do with the top victims.
"The orphanage lacks everything, but there is no shortage of laughter and joy. At that time, there were only three teachers in the orphanage who took care of dozens of our children, including Qiu Sishui and Wang Qinming. We often play games around the wishing tree in the orphanage. It can be said that every day is happy and carefree." Sun Zigui smiled self-deprecatingly: "At that time, I was young, and I didn't know that I was a child abandoned by my parents, nor did I think about where my parents were. Living every day happily was the biggest dream of our orphanage children."
"But... I didn't expect that we would accept something so cruel!"
Sun Zigui became a little bit gritted, and he said fiercely: "Why are we?"
"I asked many people and asked this question many times, but no one could answer us at all. There were dozens of children in the orphanage, and I don't know why that person chose eight of us back then!"
"Don't be nervous, just talk slowly." Sun Zigui's mood was a little unstable, and I whispered.
Sun Zigui looked at the water cup in his hand, drank all the water in one gulp, and sighed slowly, "This may be destiny."
"That happened ten years ago. It was just something I could remember at any time in my memory, but what happened later made me remember all this clearly." Sun Zigui said angrily: "Ten years ago, an old man came to our Wolong Orphanage. The old man met our dean and the guardian Uncle Wang. I don't know what they said, but what I know is that after the dean met, the dean gathered all the children in the orphanage together."
"It was that man who selected eight of us from dozens of children." Sun Zigui said with anger: "After choosing eight of us, he took us into a room. In the room, the man used a needle to tattoo these lines of numbers on the left leg of the eight of us."
While speaking, Sun Zigui raised his feet again, revealing his tattoo.
Zhao Jiyou and I looked at each other without saying a word. The tattoo was not tattooed by the family members of the adopted child, nor by Qiu Sishui, but by the 'that person' mentioned by Sun Zigui.
"Tattoo tattoos on us make us feel pain. I don't know why the dean who spoils us very much becomes so indifferent. She saw us crying loudly, but she turned a blind eye to it. That person left a tattoo on the eight of us, and then he went out with the dean and locked the eight of us in that room." A hint of fear appeared on Sun Zigui's face, as if the scene of that year was still vivid in his mind.
"In that dark room, the eight of us stayed for a long time, and we could see nothing but regular meals every day."
"At that time, I was nine years old, and the youngest was Yang Rong, and only eight years old. Dean Qiu, who usually looked kind and harmonious in our eyes, was unwilling to say a cold word to us like a bad person. The eight children were crying inside, but they still had silence and no one paid attention to it. When we were tired of crying, we snuggled together to rest, and after we had rest, we started crying again."
"Maybe Dean Qiu couldn't bear to see us like this. After a while, Dean Qiu came to find us. She told us that she should not let others know the tattoos on her body no matter what. Otherwise, she would continue to lock us in this room."
"We just wanted to go out at that time, so we didn't refute Dean Qiu's words. Dean Qiu also let us out of the house, but since then, Dean Qiu has stopped the rest of the children from playing with us, and the eight of us stayed together during that period."
Zhao Jiyou and I never expected that these deceased people would be in contact with each other, nor did we expect that Qiu Sishui had made such a move.
I have always believed that those who practice Taoism are talking about saving the people and being a person is good and generous. Although Qiu Sishui's actions have not reached the point of being angry with each other in life, they are indeed a bit unreasonable.
I poured Sun Zigui a glass of water and put it in his hand, and looked at him and asked what happened later.
Sun Zigui's face was a little pale, and his hand holding the teacup was slightly shaking.
He trembled his teeth and told us: "The eight of us stayed together for a long time, studying, eating, and sleeping, and the eight of us were all isolated from the other children. Fortunately! Fortunately, we were eight people, not one person, otherwise we really wouldn't know how to spend that difficult time."
"We all thought Dean Qiu would lock us together for the rest of his life, but after that happened, Dean Qiu made a change."
"That was ten years ago." Sun Zigui's eyes flashed with fear, and his chest was undulating: "I remember that night, Qiu Ruide and I went outside the house to fill the foot washing water. After pouring the water, we were about to go back, but two people appeared from where."
"They... they are going to capture me and Qiu Ruide." The fear in Sun Zigui's eyes became stronger and stronger. He stared at the teacup in front of him for a long time before speaking: "The two people came to capture me and the other went to capture Qiu Ruide. I saw... I saw that the person had no white eyes, and his whole eyes were dark... At that time, I was so scared that I cried out with a 'wow'."
"It was also the crying that saved me." Sun Zigui said with lingering fear: "After I cried, Uncle Wang in the yard ran over and stopped the man who arrested me. Not long after, the two of them started fighting, but... it was just Qiu Ruide who was captured by them."
Zhao Jiyou and I looked at each other in shock.
Ten years ago, Qiu Ruide fell off the cliff and died, and there was indeed another mystery. Qiu Sishui's argument was just a fool to the police. The real statement was actually that Qiu Ruide was captured!
I think if I guess correctly the person who captured Qiu Ruide and Sun Zigui should be... Zhu Xin and Gu Di!
Why did Qiu Sishui make up a set of rhetoric to scoop up the investigators at that time?
I quickly figured out the reason.
Qiu Sishui and Wang Qinming are both Taoist people, and Zhu Xin and Gu Di are also proficient in the channel method at present.
From this point of view, it is understandable that Qiu Sishui did not tell the investigators at that time the truth was understandable.
"After Qiu Ruide was captured, the person who wanted to capture me also took the opportunity to climb over the wall and escape. Uncle Wang pursued him relentlessly, but I was so scared that I collapsed on the ground at that time, and the things behind it became much simpler." Sun Zigui sighed and said, "I don't know who the person who captured Qiu Ruide, but the next day I saw many police officers coming to the orphanage."
We already know what happened next. Qiu Ruide should have been thrown off the cliff from the top of the mountain and died. In order to cover up the fantasy fact, Qiu Sishui could only fabricate a lie and said that someone in the orphanage was missing.
The police officer who received the news would inevitably investigate. The result of the investigation was obviously that Qiu Ruide fell into a cliff and died on the spot.
"In other words, the real Qiu Ruide had died ten years ago?" I frowned and looked at Sun Zigui.
Sun Zigui nodded firmly: "That's right, the real Qiu Ruide had died ten years ago!"
"What's going on with Qiu Ruide now?" Zhao Jiyou looked at Sun Zigui with even more confusion.
Sun Zigui replied calmly: "He is a fake, he is not Qiu Ruide at all!"
"I only learned that Qiu Ruide was captured by that man the next day. The reason why the police came to investigate Qiu Ruide's affairs. Not long after, the police told President Qiu Ruide that Qiu Ruide was dead and fell into a cliff and fell to death. I saw Qiu Ruide's corpse with my own eyes, and also saw Qiu Ruide being sent to the cremation site with my own eyes, so this could not be wrong!"
Sun Zigui took a deep breath and said, "The original eight people were left by that time, and Dean Qiu seemed to care about the eight of us very much. No... She cared about the tattoos on us!"
"It wasn't long before Qiu Ruide left, President Qiu sent another child to the room where we lived before. President Qiu pointed at the child and asked us to call him Qiu Ruide. We all knew that Qiu Ruide was actually dead, but in order not to go hungry, we must follow what President Qiu Ruide said and called someone who was not Qiu Ruide for Qiu Ruide!" Sun Zigui smiled self-deprecatingly.
I frowned and said, "Qiu Ruide had a car accident when he was a child. This can be confirmed by Qiu Ruide now..."
"Of course it can be confirmed!" Sun Zigui rushed to say without waiting for me to finish speaking: "Director Qiu was very determined to break the fake Qiu Ruide's leg. How could it be impossible to prove it?"
Zhao Jiyou and I took a breath, and the impression of Qiu Sishui in our minds became more and more blurred. Gradually, she began to be replaced by a strange Qiu Sishui.
"How do we know whether what you said is true or false?" Zhao Jiyou said in disbelief: "What if you were lying like Qiu Ruide?"
