I said: This...this is what Third Uncle looked like when he was young. I have seen black and white photos of him before, and they look very similar to this one.

Wen Jin smiled and said: In this world, photos are not the only things that are similar. Two people who are related by blood may also be similar.

Ah? I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something, Wait, what do you mean? Do you want to tell me that this person is not my third uncle? Then who is he?

After saying that, I suddenly felt cold, and the fragments of the past suddenly gathered together into a face in front of me.

blood relation! Similar appearance!

It suddenly dawned on me: Impossible, impossible! I almost yelled, and Menmeiping immediately held me down. I could no longer control my voice and said in a broken voice, Oh my God, my God, is this person—Xie Lianlian?

Wen Jin nodded, my hair stood on end, all the pores stood up, and countless threads began to combine in my brain, my God, I seemed to understand what was going on.

The resolution of the photo is not high, so it is normal to see it wrong, especially when your third uncle said that. Wen Jin said, Everyone would think that.

What about my third uncle?

Wen Jin said: Your third uncle was indeed with us at that time, but he was not in this photo, but outside the photo. She set up the photo and pointed to the front of it.

As soon as I saw Wen Jin's gesture, I suddenly understood. I felt all the blood rushing to my throat. This...this...is stupid. What is going on? You are the camera.

In other words, the third uncle was taking pictures of them at that time, so - the eleventh person was none other than the third uncle himself?

But it's wrong, it doesn't make sense. Why would you let your third uncle take the photo for such a departure photo? You can let other less important people take the photo. For example, Xie Lianlian sneaked in, but he stood in such an important position. But the third uncle can only take pictures? I asked.

Wen Jin let out a long breath: You still have understanding. You should feel the problem here. In the version your third uncle told you, there are some things that have fundamental problems, and they were in the initial version. At that time. She paused, Let me tell you, in fact, at that time, it was not Jie Lianhuan who asked me to join the archaeological team, but your third uncle Wu Sansheng.

Huh? I couldn't react at once.

Think about it carefully. Although the things your third uncle told you were very smooth, there are some small flaws in the logic. As a smuggler with such rich experience, how could Jude Kao choose a smuggler with no experience in the field? Ji Lianhuan to implement his plan? He was in Changsha at the time. The best person he could find through connections and the person most interested in overseas smuggling should be your third uncle. Only your third uncle would have such a Such courage to cooperate with such an old fox with such a dark background. Therefore, the person Jude Kao cooperated with at that time was not Jie Lianlian, but your third uncle. Another advantage of Jude Kao choosing Wu Sansheng was that he and I were boyfriend and girlfriend at the time. It can be very convenient to break into the archaeological team, so this is the most logical.

I nodded, and suddenly I thought that my third uncle had also mentioned this. I thought he was complaining to me, but it turned out that he was just playing tricks with me.

And Xie Lianhuan was indeed working in my archaeological team at that time. He was a student at the University of Archeology at that time. Because of his family relationship, his father arranged for him to study in my school. This person is not like your third uncle. It's so useless to say that, although he has some young temperament, he is extremely talented in decoding chain links. The word Lianlian was changed to his name by his father when he was three years old, because he could already rely on it at that time. With his own ability, he can unlock the 'Nine Links'. This man is silent and introverted, but he is very thoughtful and has very good grades. He entered university entirely out of his own will. She paused: You understand, you know? My third uncle said everything the wrong way.

I can't handle such a complicated matter at once.

He waved his hands and thought about it: Jude Kao found his third uncle at that time and told him about Xisha. The third uncle then planned to join the archaeological team to search for ancient tombs in Xisha, and Jie Lianhuan had nothing to do with this matter.

But why did he say the opposite? There is no reason. I have known for a long time what kind of person he is. Could it be that in order to maintain his position in my heart, he deliberately told such a big lie? This is inconsistent with His character.

Why do you do this? Don't you understand yet? He told everything backwards, but what happened before Xisha set off was not everything. What he really wanted to hide was what happened afterward.

I carefully recalled the whole process that my third uncle said, and suddenly I felt as if I had fallen into an abyss of ice, and the blood all over my body froze: everything is wrong, then the most terrifying thing is not these trivial details, but what happened. What happened that night!

Then, it’s not that Jie Lianhuan went into the water and was discovered by his third uncle, but that his third uncle went into the water secretly and was discovered by Xie Lianhuan.

Xie Lianhuan might have threatened the third uncle to take him into the ancient tomb, otherwise he would tell Wen Jin everything. Then the third uncle would take him into the ancient tomb, and then Xie Lianlian should trigger the mechanism in the ancient tomb.

Everything makes perfect sense. Everything begins to fit the character's qualifications and personality.

At the last moment, the third uncle told me the version that he left the solution chain in the ancient tomb and then escaped. Then, the most unimaginable situation occurred.

If it were the complete opposite, and if all this continues to be reasonable, then the person who came out of the ancient tomb should be Jie Lianlian, and the third uncle was knocked unconscious and stayed in the ancient tomb. Then, it was Uncle San himself who died at the bottom of the sea!

Then who is my third uncle now? God, I can't imagine it anymore.

Wen Jin looked at my expression and said: You finally understand now that the third uncle you call is not Wu Sansheng at all. This is also the reason why your third uncle will never tell the truth to you, because from the very beginning, Everything was already wrong, he had already fallen out with someone else at the bottom of the sea.

But, but how is this possible? Why didn't anyone in my family find out?

That's because your third uncle has a perverse personality. He has lived alone since he was a teenager and rarely meets your family members. As long as he puts on a little makeup and has some understanding of your third uncle's character, he can get away with it. I think you also feel that your third uncle now is completely different from the third uncle you remembered when you were a child.

My clothes are all soaked. A person suddenly appears after five or six years of separation. His changes in temperament or appearance are acceptable to others. I also feel that the current third uncle has a more peaceful temperament than before. Much, he was simply a lawless person when he was young.

After Wen Jin finished speaking, I was completely unable to think. In other words, I had so many puzzles and speculations in my mind that I had to think about it again. It was too confusing.

But San... Jie Lianlian, why did he do that? Why did he switch identities with my third uncle?

This is an extremely complicated situation. First of all, it may be because of the file. After he came back from the undersea tomb, we all disappeared. If he appeared in the unit properly, then his problem would be quite serious, and others would investigate him. , his background is too special in Changsha, and if there are too many implicates in the investigation, it may cause huge trouble. Wu Sansheng was supernumerary at the time, and his name is not in the file, so no one knows his relationship with this matter. , so their Jie family weighed the pros and cons and may have chosen this method. At the same time, he could also get all the properties in Wu San Province, which would also be of great benefit to the Jie family, whose family was in decline at the time. However, once this scene was sung, , it can’t be over. You know that your second uncle was a notorious thorn in Changsha when he was a child. He must not be messed with. If he finds out that his younger brother was killed and replaced, he will definitely come to deal with the Jie family and use Wu Gou. It will be a bloody storm for you and your grandma's family. Wen Jin said, I have been paying attention to this matter secretly and wanted to inform your family about it in some way. But after the chain was solved, the His ability makes me extremely scared. This person is extremely thoughtful. I feel that if I speak out about this rashly, I might be bitten back. So I can only stay lurking.

I covered my face and began to resist in my heart. I felt that all this could not be true. I said, So, what happened to you in the end at the bottom of the Xisha Sea? Why did you suddenly disappear? Also, why is there something on the top of the ancient tomb? The word in blood says, 'Wu Sansheng harmed me'? If it was Jie Lianhuan who harmed my third uncle, then it should mean the opposite! No, no, it doesn't make sense, you must be lying to me too!

Wen Jin looked at me, seemed a little distressed and grabbed my hand, and said softly: Xiao Xie, you have lived with him for so many years. I know you can't believe this, so I also thought about not telling you this. Come out, but you are too persistent about this mystery. Even if I don't tell you now, I don't think he can keep it secret for too long, because at this point, there are already too many loopholes. In addition to constantly making up stories about you, There is no way to get away with it, and it is too late for you to choose not to believe it now.

I said in my heart that it was not that I didn't believe it, but that I already believed it, otherwise I would still feel so uncomfortable. After calming down, I asked, I know, please continue talking. I'm just venting. This is a bit uncomfortable.

Wen Jin put my hand on her little palm and patted it. I suddenly felt a warmth passing through me. She continued: You may not believe what happens next.

The third uncle suddenly drowned, and when he was found, he was holding a snake-browed copper fish. It was obvious that he had evil intentions and the consequences would end up with him. Wen Jin was devastated, but then the situation became urgent and she had to continue to take charge of the work and lead people to the bottom of the sea.

The process after this is basically consistent with what Third Uncle told me after he solved the chain. He was probably afraid that the real Third Uncle would leave any clues about him in the undersea tomb, so he pretended to be unfit. , after they started to explore the ancient tomb, they secretly followed behind, and in the end they were indeed blocked from Qimen Dunjia.

For him, Wen Jin and the others just disappeared into the ancient tomb and never appeared again, so he came up with the idea of ​​​​pretending to be his third uncle and exchanging identities. After being rescued, others asked him his name. The fisherman who rescued him at that time used the name Wu Sansheng. Otherwise, the trap will definitely be exposed later. This was obviously carefully thought out. Wen Jin’s statement that Xie Lianlian was meticulous was indeed true.

Wen Jin and the others went all the way and finally arrived at the palace where the Yunding Tiangong hot stamps were placed, but they were stunned by a person who looked exactly like the third uncle. What was going on?

Wen Jin said: If you tell me, you may not believe it even more. I said in my heart that it has reached this point. In fact, there is no such thing as belief or disbelief, so she doesn't need to take into account my feelings.

Wen Jin said: The person who stunned us at that time was not someone who looked exactly like your third uncle. He happened to be your third uncle.

There is a third uncle in the east and a third uncle in the west. I was a little confused about the real third uncle, so I said to her: We might as well use our real names. What you mean is that the one who stunned you is indeed Wu Sansheng. But wasn’t his body found?”

We made a mistake. The corpse we found in the sea was not Wu Sansheng. It should be one of the first batch of people hired by Jude Kao. This group of people failed, but they brought out a detailed map of the ancient tomb, so Jude Kao Only in this way can we provide such good information. The face of the corpse had been smashed by the rocks and was already swollen. In addition, the diving suit he was wearing was similar to the diving suit Wu Sansheng got from Jude Kao, so we determined that he was Wu Sansheng. In fact, I was a little skeptical at the time, but I had no experience identifying such corpses, and the style of the diving suit was very strange. This was too convincing.

So, according to what I recalled at the time, when you first saw him, he first pretended to be a woman, and then avoided you, escaped into the hole behind the mirror, and knocked you unconscious. Why did he do that? What about doing this?

Because he thought that Jie Lianhuan had told me everything. Wen Jin said, He thought that I came in to find him to accuse him. If I were alone, it would be okay, but everyone from the archaeological team came down. , obviously he thought that his affairs had been completely exposed, which was an extremely serious crime at the time. So, as the team leader, it was impossible for me to favor him in front of so many people. He had to take measures on his own without incriminating me, so he decided Stun us and then make plans.

In this way, the last scene happened. I continued, This does make sense, but what happened to those bloody words?

Then the word blood is your problem. It's because you misunderstood it. Wen Jin said, Think about it, how are those words arranged?

I thought to myself, this might be misunderstood? Knowing this, I dipped my hand in some water from the kettle and wrote down the words from memory on the stone wall on one side.

Wu Haojie

Three Company

Avoid dead ends

No

close the eyes

Head

I was stunned when I saw it, and I immediately understood what was going on: Oh my God, I reversed the order!

I have been making rubbings for too long. Everything on the rubbings is reversed. I read all the vertical articles backwards. I am accustomed to reading from left to right, but this can be read from both sides, and the meaning is completely opposite.

Fuck you. I cursed, thinking that my third uncle's cultural level was not high, he was proficient in false Taoism and heresy, and he didn't need to use his brain to write the article. This kind of bloody book would make people vomit blood.

You don't doubt it now, do you? Wen Jin said.

I nodded awkwardly: What next?

Then her face changed and she said: I still can't understand what happened next, because when we woke up, we were no longer in the undersea tomb, but in a basement. A very large room There is an old basement that looks like a three-proof cave in the 1950s and 1960s. There is a black sarcophagus inside. We can see the exit of the basement, but the exit is sealed. We can't open it no matter how we look at the date on the watch. , it’s been more than a week since we fell into coma.”

Is that the sanatorium in Golmud? I asked.

She nodded and paused: We are missing a few people, Qi Ling is no longer there, and the others are trapped there. Moreover, we found that we are being watched.
