Vol 6 Chapter 516: Pie


Early the next morning, Zhao Feng and Wang Dean rushed to the hospital to visit the old man Du, who was said to have painted an "eight-armed eight-eyed monster" in prison.
The hospital where Old Man Du went on bail was naturally designated by the prison, but judging from the environment of his separate ward, the equipment in the ward, and a professional nurse, it was obvious that he had spent a lot of money on his own.
Wang Dean whispered to his companion strangely: "Looking at the information last night, didn't he have confiscated his illegal gains, and he has no relatives."
Zhao Feng said, "I'll ask." Then he asked the nurse who was obviously not a hospital.
The nurse didn't conceal it either, and directly stated that it was Mr. Du's godson who paid the money, and he was a cellmate before.
"Prisonmate? Godson?" Zhao Feng frowned and asked the nurse for the mobile phone number and name of the "godson", and then passed it to the information collection department for them to check.
Zhao Feng and Wang De'an walked into the ward, sat down beside Old Man Du’s bed, and asked softly: "Mr. Du, hello, we are both reporters from the New International Perspective. The people in the hospital have told you about it. Huh? We want to interview you."
Old man Du on the hospital bed reluctantly propped his eyelids and looked very weak. The nurse next to him also explained: "You try to be as fast as possible, don't take too long."
After responding, Zhao Feng slightly bent his body, approached Old Man Du's ear, and said, "Mr. Du, how do you feel?"
Old Man Du moved his eyes, glanced at him, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and said: "I'm dying, but you should be fine after dealing with it. What interview you are going to do, I'm just an old liar, maybe not What kind of material the Fa will give you."
Zhao Feng felt a little strange. Although Old Man Du seemed to be very sick and weak, his voice was very small, and there was some vibrato, but he felt calm and steady inexplicably.
"That's it. I don’t know if you have watched the news before. A large-scale collective phantom-affected incident occurred in Muntamira in Myanmar in early March. People in a few blocks saw a huge The illusion of a giant with many arms and many eyes walked through the middle of the city and then disappeared. Everyone who saw it felt shock and fear for the first time, and many people had subsequent psychological effects, even the trajectory of life Everything has changed."
When Zhao Feng spoke, he had been observing Old Man Du's facial expression.
He found that when referring to the description of the multi-armed, multi-eyed giant's illusion, Old Man Du's expression changed slightly but clearly.
So he glanced at Wang De'an, who knew it, took out the tablet from his bag, and called up the sketch of the eight-armed eight-eyed giant phantom that had appeared on the news many times before.
As soon as he saw the picture, Old Man Du immediately opened his eyes, his neck slightly lifted, his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to sit up hard.
If you take a picture of Old Man Du and send it to the Internet at this time, it is estimated that many people will be accompanied by "Grandpa you waited for "XXX" is finally released!" "Help Grandpa get up!" and other texts spread as popular emoticons .
Zhao Feng hurriedly added a pillow to the back of Du's head, raised his head, and then took Wang Dean's tablet, took it closer, and showed it to him while saying:
"Sir, have you seen the things on this picture? The reason why we came here this time is because we heard that you drew similar pictures in prison. I don’t know if that picture is still there. Can you show us it? ?"
Old Man Du did not answer. Instead, he stared at the painting on the tablet and took a few breaths before saying: "Tell me about the...Meng..."
"Montamira."
Old man Du: "How did the Montamira incident happen?"
Zhao Feng and Wang Dean were also well prepared. They directly used the tablet to play a Chinese news clip that they thought had explained the cause of the matter most clearly, and showed it to Old Man Du.
While observing Old Man Du’s expression, Zhao Feng added:
At the time, there was a riot in Montamilla. The appearance of the giant illusion, in a sense, prevented the riot and saved many lives. ."
From the information he saw last night, the descriptions of Old Man Du’s behavior by other people in the prison, and the reaction of Old Man Du just now, he could hardly speculate his position on the "eight-armed eight-eyed giant phantom", and some deliberately turned the giant illusion into Good direction description-of course, what he said is also true.
Sure enough, when he heard this, Old Man Du laughed: "It's normal, it's normal..."
But after not smiling for a while, he started coughing violently, which caused the caregiver guarding by the door to come over.
After slowing down, Old Man Du looked at Zhao Feng: "You want to... know from me... where did he come from?"
"Have you really seen this thing, right? Can you tell us where you saw it?" Zhao Feng asked.
Old Man Du looked at the ceiling and exhaled: "Dream."
"Dream?" Zhao Feng was startled slightly, and looked at each other with Wang De'an. Both of them thought of Zhao Feng's previous use of the dream guide to find the corpse hidden in the cave deep in Zihuan Mountain.
"Can you tell me... what kind of dream did you have? The giant with eight arms and eight eyes in the dream, is there any difference in detail from the picture? If you have painted before The picture couldn't be better." Zhao Feng continued to ask.
Old man Du turned his neck with difficulty, looked at Zhao Feng's face, and suddenly said, "Have you dreamed about it too?"
Zhao Feng was a little surprised, and blurted out subconsciously: "How do you know?"
Old Man Du laughed hard again, gasping for breath, and then said: "I know you all want...you want to find him, but that... doesn't make sense..."
Old Man Du's voice became much smaller, but his mouth was still moving, so Zhao Feng leaned down and put his ears over, hearing Old Man Du's intermittent weak voice:
"...Fear can see the true self... Follow your heart... Death is not the end... Don't be afraid... Obey Him... Obey yourself..."
While talking, Old Man Du suddenly gasped and seemed to have difficulty breathing. The nurse rushed over, checked it, and quickly pressed the pager to ask the doctor to come over.
Naturally, Zhao Feng and Wang Dean were also kicked out of the ward and waited outside.
The two of them were also a little worried, but they didn't want to come and visit once, and the old man Du who killed him would hang up directly.
After a while, the doctor came out, and under questioning, he learned that Old Man Du's condition was temporarily stable, but he was indeed dying, and it didn't take long to survive. And it is recommended that they stop chatting with him on topics that stimulate emotions, otherwise there will be consequences.
Therefore, Zhao Feng and Wang De'an had to go back to the hotel first. Judging from what the doctor said, they wanted to apply for the next meeting. It was estimated that they would not be so fast.
"Have you recorded what he said?" Wang Dean asked.
"Yes, but his voice is too small, maybe it's not clear, so I look back to see if the technical department can handle it. But there are only a few words he said, and I remember them all." Zhao Feng said.
"Fear can see the true self, follow your heart, death is not the end, don't be afraid." Zhao Feng repeated, he was guided by the eight-armed eight-eyed giant to find the corpse cave dreamland, although it is Lao Xia He Xiang "Dream within a dream" triggered by Kun, but the "love object" that draws the dream is not a woodcarving with eight arms and eight eyes, so in the dream it is actually not affected by the projection of fear emotions. This is not as early as hearing this sentence. The former Qi Hao has such deep feelings.
Wang Dean smiled and said: "I almost followed the call to Ollie. This old man Du speaks really eloquently. No wonder he used to pretend to be fools and deceive people before. He didn't mean to say this to us in PUA, right? Is there some other attempt? But these words, judging from a few key words, are indeed more consistent with the feelings of people who have seen eight-armed eight-eyed monsters or giant phantoms that we have come into contact with before."
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, let's see if we can apply to chat with Old Man Du, and ask directly when and where he dreamed of the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster, and what was the specific content of his dream." Zhao Feng Said.
However, in the afternoon, they got news that Old Man Du’s condition suddenly deteriorated and he had fallen into a coma. He entered the ICU ward, and he might not be able to survive.
The two of them rushed to the hospital and asked the nurse about when Old Man Du's "godson" would rush over. The answer was that he couldn't come there because he didn't have enough medical expenses. Don't worry, just go for any treatment.
"This'godson' doesn't seem to be so filial? He and Old Man Du squat in prison together, maybe they know something, should we talk to him?" Wang Dean asked in a low voice in the aisle of the hospital.
Zhao Feng thought for a while and shook his head: "It's better to investigate what happened to Old Man Du before he surrendered and went to jail. Maybe he can find the reason that triggered his dream."
Wang Dean disagrees: "There may not be any trigger events. Look at the cases we investigated before. Which cases have any exact trigger events. They all appeared suddenly. You dreamed of that. Before the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant guides you to the cave of the dead, is there any clear sign? What trigger event, at most, what criminal behavior he committed. If this can help us find the cause, investigate those two before When a case is filed, nothing will happen."
"Yes." Zhao Feng thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Wang De'an said: "To be honest, if it weren’t for Ho to find us, we know that the official has nothing to do with the eight-armed eight-eyed phantom. Based on the investigation in Burma, I would have thought that this is our official secretly developed black technology. You see, that illusion appeared twice in Myanmar in just 24 hours, and the consequence of one was to rescue the kidnapped Chinese citizens. Most of the kidnappers affected were also domestic fugitives. The other time was in Bangladesh. Tamira indirectly prevented the riots against the Chinese. The real behind-the-scenes indictor of the kidnapping case was killed by his men in this incident. If the eight-armed eight-eyed phantom has a nationality, I think it must be of Chinese nationality."
In fact, before Lao He came to the door and they became members of the "Abnormal Research Center" and the "Shenxing Technology" secret department, they both had various unreliable guesses about the eight-armed eight-eyed phantom.
For example, due to special reasons, someone’s consciousness has entered another dimension and has become another form of existence. He has a great sense of justice. When he sees injustice, he will want to draw a knife to help, but he cannot directly affect the real world. He can only create illusions through psychological influences. , Or take the form of a dream.
It is precisely because of this that the people who see the illusion and are affected are basically people involved in the crime, either criminals, victims, or law enforcement officers.
Zhao Feng thoughtfully said: "I think the people affected should not be purely random. There must be some reasons. Especially the kidnapping in Myanmar. When the kidnappers saw the illusion, they were at sea. This world There are evil deeds happening all the time. Why did it appear on that ship at that time?"
"Indeed, from the perspective of time, the time when the illusion occurred on the kidnapper ship was earlier than Montamira’s large-scale group illusion. If the eight-armed eight-eyed illusion really comes from China, there is really subjective will Control, crossing the ocean to Burma is really purposeful, maybe it's here to save people." Wang Dean speculated.
"What's the name of the kidnapped person? He should have already returned to China, let's talk to him carefully." Zhao Feng said.
...
According to the plan, Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, and Yang Zhener had another meeting with Zhang Qian, and they planned to leave Pengcheng in the afternoon and return to Chongyun Village.
But at noon, Zhang Qian said that her grandfather, Zhang Hongpu, chairman of the Zhang Group, also arrived in Pengcheng today, and wanted to have a meal with him in the evening and have a chat.
Xiang Kun’s blood drinking time for this cycle is expected to be from noon to evening tomorrow. It’s not impossible to stay one more night, so he agreed.
He could guess that the old man Zhang Hongpu came to Pengcheng, and there is a high probability that he came specifically for him. Zhang Qian could use so many resources in the previous period, it would be impossible without Zhang Hongpu's support.
Of course, if his blood-drinking period is tonight, then he can only apologize to Mr. Zhang-anyway, he believes that such a small disrespect is not a matter of providing huge and predictable future benefits. How much will it affect.
The place to eat in the evening was still in the classical manor-style restaurant where I saw Zhang Chu last time.
Both Zhang Hongpu and Zhang Group are not high-profile, so there is not much information about him on the Internet. However, Alice had collected a lot of information and data before, and Xiang Kun didn't know anything about this old man.
Zhang Hongpu is a tall and energetic old man with a gentle and kind smile on his face. He has no pretensions to Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, and Yang Zhener, and is very enthusiastic.
"Mr. Xiang, I have heard of a big name for a long time, and I have always wanted to see you. It's just that my old arms and legs are not useful. I haven't traveled far in the past few years, so I only have the opportunity to meet today. Mr. Xiang is indeed a talented person. , It seems to be both civil and military, haha." Zhang Hongpu patted Xiang Kun on the shoulder as soon as he met, and praised it half-jokingly.
If it was Xiang Kun before the mutation, seeing a big guy at this level would definitely be very nervous, for fear of saying something wrong - of course, if it were him, he would certainly not attract Zhang Hongpu's special banquet so seriously.
At this time, after seeing Zhang Hongpu, Xiang Kun instinctively analyzed the relevant sensory information, and even subconsciously "scanned" his physical condition.
"The chairman is absurd. I knew that the chairman wanted to see me. I should have come to visit earlier." Xiang Kun also responded with a "loyal and shy technical nerdy smile".
Zhang Hongpu greeted Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er, mentioned Tang Baona’s grandfather, Mr. Feng Lao, and also mentioned Yang Zhen'er’s father, Yang Keyan. He had met the former in his early years, and although he had not met the latter, he was a company under the Zhang Group. He has business dealings with the pharmaceutical factory where Yang Keyan works, so there are reasons to mention it.
Zhang Hongpu acted like a kind elder. After greeting, the atmosphere became harmonious and natural in a few words. Tang Baona and Yang Zhener, who were a little nervous, also relaxed a lot.
After she was seated, while Zhang Hongpu and Zhang Qian confessed to making some changes in the dishes at a meeting, Tang Baona, who was sitting next to Xiangkun, couldn't help but whispered: "I originally thought that Chairman Zhang would be more serious and old-fashioned. Thinking of talking so well."
Indeed, through external reports on what Zhang’s group has always done, as well as some of Zhang Hongpu’s words that she accidentally mentioned in her past contacts with Zhang Qian, it is easy to make people think that the head of the Zhang group is not very good. The older people who are in contact with the harsher.
Xiang Kun smiled and whispered back: "Because it is a private occasion, treat us as Zhang Qian's peers."
In fact, from his observation of Zhang Hongpu, Zhang Qian, and the entourage around Zhang Hongpu, it can be judged that this old man is more majestic in the eyes of his subordinates and Zhang's family. Especially Zhang Qian is obviously more cautious than usual.
What I see now is the gentle side of Zhang Hongpu's spring breeze, but the old man must also have a thunderous side.
When greeting him, the old man’s eyes were full of smiles, and he was always observing and examining Xiang Kun. From the analysis of comprehensive sensory information, Xiang Kun believed that the old man should not have an established position like or dislike him. More curious.
Moreover, judging from the situation he mentioned about Grandpa Tang Baona and Yang Zhen’er’s father, he had already had a basic understanding of the three of them before he came or earlier, and he would certainly not fail to understand Xiangkun’s background and experience. clear.
While eating and chatting, Zhang Hongpu did not ask Zhang Qian, Xiang Kun, and Tang Baona about their company’s operations, business, and company’s products. He didn’t even mention that the one they made was already well-known and could be expected in the future. Instead of just chatting about some parents’ short-term games, and then occasionally talk about the impact of the current Internet and mobile network development on the real economy and traditional business models.
Xiang Kun quickly grasped Zhang Hongpu's true intentions from these seemingly unrelated topics and small chats.
Normally speaking, even if the momentum of "Genesis of Sound" is very good, it will almost certainly have good revenue in the future, but compared to the entire Zhang Group, at least it is far from a business worth mentioning, and it will not cause Zhang Hongpu to pay such attention. .
But from Zhang Hongpu's words, Xiang Kun heard the old man's hidden worries about the development of the Zhang Group's traditional business. He intends to slowly shift the focus of development and has the idea of ​​reaching out to emerging industries such as the Internet. Just now, Zhang Qian has made a sound and color with the game "Genesis of Sound". The old man is probably hesitating whether to use this as a breakthrough point, give Zhang Qian great power and resources, and put the burden on her shoulders. .
The most important partner of Zhang Qian's "Tengjiao Mutual Entertainment" now is "Qiankun Technology", or Xiangkun. Maybe Zhang Qian used Xiang Kun to "draw cakes" in front of her grandfather before, which impressed the old man, but the cooperation model between them was very weird, so this is why I want to meet Xiang Kun in person.
After making a general judgment on Zhang Hongpu’s intentions, Xiang Kun was naturally able to "put what he likes" and help Zhang Qian to "draw pie" together, depicting the blueprint for the future era of 5G, intelligent manufacturing, and new interactive entertainment, and describe this time The best and final time to enter.
As for Zhang Hongpu's temptation to himself, Xiang Kun's response is also very simple, just one word-"sincere".
He knows that when people try to obtain information, they will have a tendency and expectation in their hearts. If the information obtained is contrary to this tendency and expectation, then even if it is a fact, the heart will instinctively have doubts, and a verification process is required. If it is highly in line with its tendencies and expectations, even if the information obtained is nonsense on its own, there will be a feeling of "it is true", and then gladly believe it.
Of course, this method is difficult for ordinary people to make perfect, after all, most people cannot make an accurate grasp and description of their own ideas.
And Xiang Kun can use real-time feedback on Zhang Hongpu’s various body sensory information to grasp his victory response mechanism through verbal communication on other topics, and constantly make adjustments to grasp his various subtle emotional changes and the physiology of certain thinking tendencies. Subtle changes to push information that conforms to his expectations and tendencies.
Of course, most of what Xiang Kun said was the truth, but the truth was packaged and not fully displayed.
However, in Zhang Hongpu’s view, he can basically answer some of his doubts and establish a basic impression and cognition of Xiangkun in his mind-a very talented, technically confident, even a little conceited, Young people with vision and mind but not too much ambition, not too much scheming to treat others sincerely, low-key, low-key and patient.
This kind of
personal design
is in line with his previous general judgment based on the information he obtained through Zhang Qian and other channels. The discrepancy is not big, so with the passage of time and the improvement of communication, Zhang Hongpu naturally thinks that he has The bald-headed young man's thoughts are fascinating.
Dinner has been finished~EbookFREE.me~ When I changed to a tea pavilion in the hotel to drink tea, Xiang Kun took advantage of everyone’s relaxed situation and said along a topic of Zhang Hongpu: "Domestic words, I What I admire most is the company "Shenxing Technology". I admire their style of making technology. They always make efforts in places where everyone does not pay much attention. They often pop up a variety of "black technology" products and Invention, and particularly low-key, is to focus on technology, not to exaggerate. I also hope that in the future, "Qiankun Technology" can become a company like "Shenxing Technology"."
As soon as he said this, Xiang Kun immediately noticed that Zhang Hongpu's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and Zhang Qian immediately looked at her grandfather nervously.
Xiang Kun said these words on purpose. He heard Yang Zhuo say before that Zhang Qian’s grandfather hated "Shenxing Technology", and even the company founded by Zhang Chu was handed over to Zhang Qian by Zhang Hongpu because of him. Cooperation with "Shenxing Technology".
According to Alice's investigation, Zhang Hongpu and Lu Chengan were about the same age. They had a lot of contact and even cooperation in the early years. Maybe they knew some information that was not recorded in the secret documents before, and could help him answer some questions. You know, at the same time, some information is ordinary information that people who don't know can't see, but people who know the inside story can use it to judge many things.
