Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1454 - The secret buried by time (12)

Chapter 1454: The secret buried by time (12)

Chen lie turned around and was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out. “Really? ! Are you sure? !”

He quickly lowered his head and looked at the ground.

He had seen those messy lines when he came in and thought that they were just children’s unintentional doodles.

He took a closer look and realized that on the clear log floor, there were extremely abstract matchstick figures drawn with black carbon brushes.

It was only after Huo Shaoheng had reminded him that Chen Lie was able to identify the figures.

Chen Lie:”...”

“... These matchstick figures? How did you identify the murderer?”

Chen lie rubbed his chin and gave Huo Shaoheng a sideways glance.

Huo Shaoheng walked over to a picture on the far left side of the log floor and pointed at it. “Look, this is a picture of a family. There’s a father, a mother, this little girl, and an older sister.”

Huo Shaoheng didn’t want to call her “Gu Nianzhi” until he knew who this little girl was.

He walked slowly to the right side of the picture and pointed at the second picture. He said in a low voice,”... Father and mother went out and didn’t bring this little girl with them.”

“She hugged her knees and cried in the corner.”

“Sister came over to comfort her.”

“... took her to the banana boat... This small submarine...”

“And then...”

Huo Shaoheng couldn’t continue. He paused.

“And then?”

Chen lie asked anxiously. He listened intently.

Huo Shaoheng took a deep breath. “And then, in the submarine, sister gave her a glass of water.”

“After she drank it, she fell asleep.”

“When she woke up, she found that the door was locked. My sister wasn’t here, and my parents weren’t here.”

“She cried for a while and gradually couldn’t breathe. She finally understood what was going on.”

“She picked up the carbon pencil she used to write daily and left these pictures on the floor.”

“Finally...”Huo Shaoheng paused again, his already low voice sounding like the morning bell.”... She still remembered to climb back into bed and tidy herself up.”

Even if she was going to die, she didn’t want to look sloppy.

It was a child who loved cleanliness.

Chen lie tilted his head and looked at the pictures on the ground, stunned. “How on Earth did you see so much? !”

These children’s doodles were clearly as abstract as the most stream of consciousness pictures.

Huo Shaoheng said calmly,”... that’s how Nianzhi’s drawings sound.”

Chen Lie:”...”

So this was what it meant to “Raise”Nianzhi?

Chen lie shook his head and suppressed the sadness in his heart. He walked to the far left and pointed at the first picture. “I can tell that these are indeed four little matchstick figures, but how can you tell that they are a family? And that they are of the same gender?”

Even more amazing, he could tell that they were sisters?!

In his opinion, there was no difference between these four little matchstick figures, okay?!

Huo Shaoheng’s voice came out of the intercom calmly, as if he was explaining a documentary, there was no emotion in his voice. “Look carefully, these four matchstick figures are different in height, short, fat, and thin. The two taller little matchstick figures are Daddy and Mommy, and Daddy’s face has a D on it, and Mommy’s face has an M.”

Chen Lie’s lips twitched, and he simply lay on the ground to see the two crooked letters clearly.

He did not get up but simply continued to lie on the ground. He reached out and gave Huo Shaoheng a thumbs up to show his appreciation.

“What about sister? How did you tell?”Chen lie asked again, looking around the remaining two little matchstick figures.

He was not as observant as Huo Shaoheng. Of course, more importantly, he had never “Raised”gu nianzhi, so he did not know how to distinguish a child’s matchstick figure.

“This matchstick figure is shorter than mom and dad, but slightly taller than the smallest person. Its hair is longer, so it’s the older sister.”

Huo Shaoheng walked to his side and stood close to the picture.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was wearing a head-to-toe protective suit, Chen lie would have rubbed his eyes.

He felt that his eyesight must have decreased again. The two matchstick figures had him cross-eyed.

Following Huo Shaoheng’s explanation, Chen Lie looked at it again and finally understood. “This... The Little Dot next to the smallest matchstick figure’s head... What is it?”

“It’s tears,”Huo Shaoheng said softly,”... She’s crying.”

Chen Lie was speechless for a long while. “Then the two little matchstick figures here are about the same height. One has long hair, and the other has short hair. The two little matchstick figures are holding hands and walking out of a square. That means they’re going out, right?”

Huo Shaoheng nodded. “Yes.”.

Even though the children’s matchstick paintings were abstract, they still had their own unique logic.

“Oh, then this thing that looks like a banana must be that submarine.”Chen lie continued to move to the right, “Okay, how can you tell that this is the water that sister gave her to drink? I can only see a little matchstick person strangling another little matchstick person’s neck.”

The picture was too abstract, and Chen Lie felt as if his eyes were going to go blind.

Huo Shaoheng said expressionlessly,”... look between the two of them, there’s water.”

Chen Lie:”...”

Forget it, I don’t want to look anymore. I don’t want to Go Blind.

Chen lie stood up from the floor.

Huo Shaoheng pointed at the picture behind him. “Then she fell asleep. You Can Tell, right? She’s already lying on the floor.”

In fact, in Chen Lie’s eyes, there was no difference whether these abstract little matchstick figures were standing, kneeling, or lying down.

However, he still pretended to see through it and nodded.

“The picture after waking up is more complicated,”Huo Shaoheng said calmly. “I only understood after looking at it for a while.”

It was a picture of a little matchstick figure kneeling in front of the door and slapping on the door. There was also a dialog box drawn diagonally above the little matchstick figure’s head, with the words “Daddy, Mommy”written on it...

Next, the little matchstick figure sat on the ground and held her neck with her hand. Her mouth was so wide that it almost covered her entire head.

All the pictures were actually very rough. It was obvious that the little girl who was drawing did not have any talent in drawing. This was exactly the same as Gu Nianzhi.

However, thinking back to the situation at the time, it made one feel extremely uncomfortable to think of a little girl who was about to die holding her last breath and leaving these pictures on the submarine’s floor with an indelible carbon brush.

Chen Lie stood up, his heart is palpitating. He pulled open the door and went out.

Huo Shaoheng did not go out immediately.

He thought of the structure of Gu Xiangwen’s large submarine and the superb holographic projection system. He could not help but look around the room of the small submarine.

If Gu Xiangwen loved his daughter so much that he built a toy submarine for her, there was no reason why there were no safety precautions, right?

Most families would install surveillance cameras in their children’s rooms as long as they had the slightest conditions.

Could there be surveillance cameras here as well?

Huo Shaoheng remembered the location of the surveillance cameras in Gu Xiangwen’s large submarine.

He roughly figured out the location and walked to the right corner of the room. There was a floor lamp that looked like a flower.

Huo Shaoheng narrowed his eyes and looked around. Sure enough, he found a camera behind the floor lamp.

He carefully removed the camera and the surveillance system and put them into his backpack.

He then walked to the Pink Princess’bed and quietly glanced at the little girl who had died seven years ago. He bent down and pulled a blanket from the corner of the bed to cover her. He casually picked up a few strands of black hair from her pillow, he put them into a transparent evidence bag before leaving the small submarine.

..

Back on the deck, Chen Lie took off his hazmat suit and took out a bottle of beer. He sat on a plastic stool and gulped down a bottle of beer in the Caribbean Sea alone.

Huo Shaoheng returned to the cabin and changed into his normal clothes. He handed the camera and surveillance system to Zhao Liangze and asked him to transfer the contents to the computer to save them.

He glanced around the cabin but didn’t see Chen Lie. Huo shaoheng asked, “Where’s Chen Lie?”

“On the deck.”Yin Shixiong came over to help Zhao liangze.

Huo Shaoheng walked out of the cabin and saw Chen Lie’s back. He felt a little lonely.

He walked over silently and sat beside Chen Lie, lighting a cigarette.

Chen Lie didn’t look back, but from the corner of his eye, he knew it was Huo Shaoheng.

He took a few more sips from the beer bottle and muttered,”... who do you think that little girl is? Why does she look so much like Nianzhi seven years ago? Is she her twin sister?”

Chen Lie was no stranger to Gu Nianzhi’s appearance from seven years ago.

He had also been appointed by the military to be Gu Nianzhi’s personal doctor seven years ago.

He and Huo Shaoheng knew more about Gu Nianzhi than anyone else, but the two of them had a tacit understanding and had never mentioned Gu Nianzhi’s special constitution to anyone else.

Huo Shaoheng took a drag on his cigarette and looked far ahead at the coastline. He sighed slightly, dusted his cigarette, and said calmly, “You have to be mentally prepared.”

As he spoke, he handed the evidence bag containing the little girl’s hair to Chen Lie. “Go and get a DNA test, and then check the paternity of Gu Xiangwen.”

Chen lie looked at him from the corner of his eyes. He knew that Huo Shaoheng was thinking about he zhichu’s situation and was worried that Gu Nianzhi’s situation was similar to he zhichu’s.

He Zhichu could no longer differentiate between the real and the fake. He did not want another Gu Nianzhi.

The corners of his mouth twitched. “Me? Why Don’t you just say that you need to be mentally prepared!”

Huo Shaoheng looked at him calmly.

“Don’t pretend.”Chen lie sneered. “You still refuse to call that little girl by her name. What are you afraid of?”

Chen lie knew Huo Shaoheng too well. He knew that his every move had a deeper meaning.

Huo Shaoheng lowered his head slightly and said calmly, “It’s nothing. I don’t know her name until I confirm her identity.”

Of course, calling a strange little girl his wife’s name, no matter how strong he was, would take some time to digest.

So far, he couldn’t name her.

Chen lie looked away and looked at the sky in the distance, he whispered, “I just entered the cabin and heard Little Ze and Big Xiong discussing the theory of quantum mechanics that Ms. Song mentioned. Both of them were talking about whether this theory could explain the situation of professor he and Nianzhi.”

It was the appearance of two identical people. They were neither clones nor twins.

“What quantum mechanics?”When Huo Shaoheng entered, the two of them had already stopped talking.

Chen lie turned around and was about to say something when he saw song jinning walk out. He quickly smiled and said, “Let superintendent song speak for himself.”
