Chapter 149 There is only one possibility, he is still alive.
Jiang Ning looked at the photo again. Although he couldn't even see the facial features clearly, his first feeling was that it was Gu Yuan.
"Why don't you ask someone you know to take a look?"
Soon, Jiang Ning came up with a solution, but this solution failed before it was implemented.
She was troubled again:
"But who should I contact now? I can no longer contact the aunt in Gu Yuan's family."
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning lay on the bed like a deflated ball.
Suddenly, she felt her hand wet again. She turned around and saw the puppy licking her hand, staring at her with its big round black eyes.
Jiang Ning immediately threw all his worries out of his mind and couldn't help but rub the puppy's head twice.
"Hehehe, that's so cute."
While petting the puppy, Jiang Ning suddenly had an idea in his mind and recalled memories from long ago.
"Oh right! The puppy! Didn't that thing say it would come to help me if I got into trouble? Now is the perfect time to find it!"
Jiang Ning immediately got out of bed and was very excited about what she was going to do next.
She crawled under the bed and pulled out a string of bells from the bottom of the suitcase.
The surface of this string of bells is black and gold, feels like iron, and looks very heavy.
Jiang Ning had never taken it out before, and he didn't know where the puppy got it from.
I only remember that not long ago, when that thing left, it told Jiang Ning that if there was anything urgent and he needed to find it, he should ring the bell and it would sense it and fly back immediately.
So Jiang Ning shook the bells hard, but the bells were very strange. No matter how hard Jiang Ning shook them, they made no sound.
"Huh? That's weird. It looks fine to me. There's no water in it. How come there's no sound at all?"
Jiang Ning fiddled with it in her hand but couldn't find any suspicious points, so she continued to shake it without giving up.
After a long while, the room was still very quiet, without any unnecessary movement.
She simply slumped down on the ground, and even began to doubt herself:
"Is this little thing trying to trick me? I was so kind to it and even helped it find a body. Now my conscience has been eaten by a dog."
At the same time, she discovered some suspicious points in the story:
"There seems to be something wrong with this way of thinking. If what happened before was true, then Gu Yuan would have been dead, and the person she saw could not have been him. But her sixth sense told her that this person was Gu Yuan."
All the problems rushed into Jiang Ning's head at once, like a ball of tangled wool that couldn't be untangled no matter how hard he tried.
Moreover, no matter which angle Jiang Ning thought about it from, there were various and different loopholes, and it seemed that no explanation made sense.
Just as she was concentrating on thinking about this problem, the lights in the room suddenly began to flicker, and a strong wind blew outside, making a strange roaring sound through the buildings.
The puppy was also startled by this sudden reaction and went straight into Jiang Ning's arms. She held the puppy in her arms.
Jiang Ning reacted immediately and turned on the emergency lighting in the house. Although he still couldn't see clearly, he could basically see the furnishings in the room without bumping into anything.
"I'm here."
A faint voice came from behind Jiang Ning, so ethereal that it sounded like it came from a ghost's mouth.
Jiang Ning's hair immediately stood up, and he shouted into the air:
"Who! Who's there? Come out now! Otherwise I'll have the Master take you in!"
But what I didn't expect was that the voice actually started to laugh:
"Hahahahaha, I didn't expect that it's only been a few days and you don't even recognize me? We just met by chance after all, how can you not remember me at all?"
Jiang Ning reacted immediately and realized that the sound came from the mouth of that thing.
She scolded:
"I knew you were the one who did all this! Hurry up and restore all the facilities here!"
The ball floated in front of Jiang Ning and said to her coquettishly:
"Hey, it's rare for us to meet each other, don't be so angry, I will restore it for you."
Then, it snapped its fingers with a click, and the room immediately returned to its original brightness.
Jiang Ning continued to speak:
"What the hell did you give me? I just shook the bell for a long time but it didn't ring. I thought you weren't coming."
The fog-like thing floated in front of Jiang Ning, with a smile on its face, and explained to Jiang Ning:
"It does make a sound, but you can't hear it. But I can hear it. But let me ask you, what do you want from me this time?"
Jiang Ning suddenly changed the subject and cleared himself of all charges:
"It's all your fault! You took so much time to solve it, otherwise I would have solved it long ago. It's just that I encountered some things that I can't explain clearly. I think even if I tell others, they can't help me, so I have no choice but to come to you."
Then she took the phone off the bed again and showed the picture to the thing.
Pointing to the figure in the small corner of the photo, he asked:
"Let me ask you, is this Gu Yuan?"
The mass frowned and looked at the shadow in several different directions.
But after looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't come up with a definite answer.
"I can only say that he looks very similar, but I can't be completely sure that this person is him. Where did you find him?"
Jiang Ning took the phone back and enlarged the image again and again in his hand.
Somewhat disappointedly said:
"I don't know when these photos were taken, I just happened to see his shadow in this photo."
But when she looked at the face that looked almost identical to Gu Yuan, she asked the thing again:
"Aren't you the incarnation of his soul after death? Tell me if this person is him?! Speak! No one else can tell you the answer except you!"
But the thing looked like it had a splitting headache, and flew around the room holding its head, shouting to Jiang Ning:
"Don't force me. I really can't remember anything. My mind is in a mess now. I just remember that I was engulfed by fire. When I woke up, everything around me was burned to charcoal. The only person I saw was you!"
Jiang Ning looked at the painful expression on the thing's face. It seemed that it really didn't want to recall this memory, so he didn't have the heart to continue questioning it.
Now the only clue is gone.
She could now understand what it felt like to be disheartened, and even recalled the crime films she had watched before.
If all possibilities are ruled out, then there is only one possibility left.
Jiang Ning called the mass to his front and asked it:
"Could it be... that the one who died was his twin brother?"
Unexpectedly, the thing suddenly froze, and then stared at Jiang Ning in a daze.
She had seen this expression when she was interrogating him a long time ago, and the only possibility for it to have this expression was that Jiang Ning was right.
The two looked at each other, and the thing seemed to be waiting for Jiang Ning to tell the rest of the answer.
Even though Jiang Ning didn't believe it at all, this was the only reasonable explanation so far.
She was surprised:
"No way, it can't be that outrageous, right?"
The thing actually nodded in affirmation and said to Jiang Ning:
"Yes, you guessed right. It's just as you thought. Keep talking. You are very close to the correct answer."
At the critical moment, Jiang Ning fell into self-doubt again. She thought back to what they had experienced and felt that this possibility was still too ridiculous.
"I've never heard that he had a twin brother. Even if he really had a brother, then the last phone call he made before he died was clearly to me. How do you explain that?"
The thing also changed into a comfortable position, looked at Jiang Ning, and said:
"All of this must make sense. You are already on the path to the correct answer. The figure you saw today is the truth."
It added:
"And I seem to be a little different from the person you mentioned, but you mistook me for him from the beginning. Maybe you were in a bad mood at the time and never had any doubts about my existence."
These words caused Jiang Ning to think deeply, and he felt a tightness in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.
