Hidden Corner Chapter 36

 Chapter 36 036 Search Four

The old man was in high spirits and looked very happy. He was babbling and didn't know what he was talking about.

His face is wrinkled like tree bark, but his eyes are full of energy.

Li Chengyi, who was standing at the door, recognized the old man's identity at a glance.

 'Dondi Jagir. '

Those eyes are almost exactly the same as the boy in the photo.

“Can you let him come out to meet me?” Li Chengyi asked.

"Okay, who are you? This old man has no family, no relatives, friends, or any acquaintances. He has been hospitalized for so many years and no one has seen him. This is your first time." The fat nurse asked curiously.

She is not worried about anything going wrong. After all, Jagier has no assets and relies solely on the social welfare system to survive until now. He has no money to make.

“That's right, we are conducting a special investigation on the Leize Earthquake that year, and we want to gain a deeper understanding of this aspect and prepare for our subsequent thesis.” Song Ran immediately started talking about it.

 Fortunately, the fat nurse didn't care about papers. After stuffing some extra money, she happily brought Jagier out and gave them a small room to chat.

The ward is sunny and bright, with metal guardrails on the windows, and the wind mixed with the smell of flowers and plants blows into the room.

Jajir sat upright on a small metal chair, looking at Li Chengyi and Song Ran who walked in, with some curiosity in his eyes.

"Mr. Jagier? Can you tell me how you were rescued from the underground?" Li Chengyi took two steps closer and asked in a soft voice.

 “I don't know.” Jagier replied in a light voice.

"Did you hide in a crack in the wall in the end? Did you wait for a long time before you were rescued?" Li Chengyi continued to ask regardless of his answer.

 “I can't remember.” Jagier smiled.

“Can't remember anything?” Li Chengyi frowned slightly.

“Yeah, I forgot everything.” Jagier replied in very standard Mandarin, without any border accent.

“What about this?” Li Chengyi suddenly stretched out his hand and took out a V-shaped metal tag.

The name is clearly engraved on the brand: Dondi Jagir.

"Is this yours?" Li Chengyi stared at the other person's face seriously, not missing any changes.

“I don't know.” But what disappointed him was that Jagier was still sitting on the chair, motionless, with an innocent smile on his face.

"Then do you remember your parents? How did they die?" Song Ran couldn't help but ask from behind.

 “Forgot.” Jagier shook his head, his expression unchanged.

Li Chengyi frowned.

 He originally thought that the tag he was wearing could slightly awaken the other person's memory, but now it seems that he is overthinking it.

 Think about it for a while.

 He suddenly took out his cell phone, found a clear photo, and put it in front of Jagier.

 “Have you seen this?”

What was placed in front of Jagier was an enlarged dark red symbol, shaped like a twisted M or a crawling person.

but.

"I haven't seen it before." Jagier's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were clear, and he didn't react at all when looking at the symbols.

Li Chengyi let out a breath and stared at the other person's expression, but couldn't see any trace.

Jajir had no reaction to the symbol at all.

 Following that, he asked the other party a lot about the Grievous parking lot, but unfortunately, he didn't get any clues.

　It wasn't until the nurse came in to chase people away and the rest time came, that the two of them had no choice but to exit the ward.

 Go down to the courtyard on the first floor.

Li Chengyi was holding the sign he found in Grius, feeling depressed.

 He thought he had found a clue to solve the problem, but unexpectedly

"It's okay, it doesn't matter, we still have time, just keep checking." Song Ran said in a low voice from one side.

“There is indeed still time, but the key point is that the clues are now broken.” Li Chengyi replied.

"If you can find out how Jagier broke away from Grius, and then you do it, it should be effective. The last survivor theory is an effective method that has been personally tried by people recruited by the boss before." Song Ran reminded .

"I understand." Li Chengyi also read the information and received advice from the company's think tank, so he knew this method.

“When Jagier hid in the crack, the only thing we knew was that he was rescued from the crack, but before that, we didn't know what he did inside.”

Li Chengyi said: "This is not the first time that I have been caught in the trap. It has been twice, but it was of no use. I only got away from Grius by relying on dead people."

“In other words, the key is to find out what he did before he was rescued in the crack.” Song Ran also frowned.

Looking at Jagier's state, he can't remember anything and his intelligence is like that of a child. There is no way to check this.

Standing in the yard, the two of them were at a loss for what to do.

“It's late at night, late at night, there's always someone outside the window.”

“Who is it? Who is it? That's a big fat guy.”

 “Just tell me, I'm not afraid of the dark or the bear.”

 “I like to laugh, but also cry, and I have to close my eyes and count.”

“One, two, three, four, five, you will lose if you open your eyes.”

Li Chengyi frowned slightly and saw a bald old man beside him, holding a rattle in his hand, shaking it to make rhythm, and singing a song he had never heard before.

　　It seems to be a children's song, but the lyrics make Li Chengyi feel strange.

"What kind of song is this? Why have I never heard it before?" Li Chengyi looked at Song Ran.

“Same, it's the first time I heard it.” Song Ran shrugged. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

“Wait a minute, I'll search.” Li Chengyi took out his mobile phone, entered text quickly, and clicked search. soon.

 One line of related information pops up continuously.

Most of them are advertising links, and a small part are games.

Li Chengyi stood there, frowning and flipping through page after page.

 Suddenly, he pointed his finger.

"found it!"

Song Ran was stunned for a moment, and came closer to look at the phone screen together.

　　　From the nursery rhyme "Good Burwu" of Gliss, it is said to be one of the lullabies compiled by people in the mountainous forest area east of Gliss for children who can't sleep at night. '

 “No problem?” Song Ran shook his head.

“There's no problem.” Li Chengyi took a long breath, “Maybe I'm too sensitive.”

 He ​​put down his cell phone and saw Dondi Jagier, who was being pushed in a cart by a nurse not far away, comfortably out to bask in the sun.

I thought I had finally found the clue, but now I am still stuck at the last step.

'The crack is definitely the key to escape. What did Jagier do in the crack to finally be saved? sleep? Humming? daze? Or lettering? '

According to the survivor theory, the most likely way for him to get out of the blind spot is to do exactly what Jagier did.

But now, the writing in the crack only shows that he waited inside for a long time, closed his eyes and hummed. With the speed of monster enhancement next time, his trial and error time will probably be very little.

'etc! ' Suddenly Li Chengyi was shocked. 'That song is here in Johor Bahru, so far away from the border. How could there be a Greese nursery rhyme? ? '

　　'The location of the Great Reese Earthquake and the parking lot of Gris is on the border between Gris and Yi! '

　　'How could it be such a coincidence? ? '

Li Chengyi had an instant association in his mind.

 He quickly stood still and looked at Song Ran who was walking a few steps ahead.

“Brother Song, have you found out the information? Where is Dondi Jagir from?”

"Are they from Yi country? Minorities, what's wrong?" Song Ran said inexplicably.

“That nursery rhyme just now, the name is Burwu. Just wait.” Li Chengyi quickly entered Burwu and looked up the Greese language.

Soon, a line of information that shocked him appeared on his phone.

"This is!?!"

  New Century Building.

Syndra gently put out the cigarette **** in the ashtray and looked at the man in gray trench coat who had just entered the door.

 “Please help me look up this symbol.” He handed over a photo in his hand.

 On the photo, the mysterious symbol that Li Chengyi had taken before in Grius was clearly printed.

"No problem. Others can ignore it, but you still have to give Syndra's face." The gray windbreaker smiled. His entire face was hidden under the hood of the windbreaker, and only a pale and delicate chin could be seen.

“There is actually a complete reformer here, and the people on the control committee seem to be a little lax.” Syndra sighed.

"It's different from Bai Xing here. Human transformation is not the mainstream here, Fei Yi is. You haven't been here for long, so you haven't gotten used to it yet." Gray Windbreaker said with a smile, "You will get used to it gradually in the future."

"Well, that's a problem for you. It wouldn't be so troublesome if the respective loop cities were connected to the network." Syndra said.

"How can we be autonomous after being connected?" Gray Windbreaker shook his head slightly, "Let's go back. The mysterious reformer will naturally be dealt with by the committee."

“Well, have you been in Andu recently?”

"No, now I'm switching to Korean. Andu is too rigid and lifeless, and it's hard to do business." Gray trench coat turned around and left the office, waving to him.

 “Come back and tell me my treat.”

"OK."

 Watching my friend enter the elevator and leave.

Syndra took out the cigarette case from the drawer again, took out one, and was about to put it in her mouth.

 But he glanced at the ashtray on the table, and there were already five cigarette butts in it.

Hand paused, he put the cigarette back into the cigarette case and sighed softly.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 eaten.

Suddenly, the urgent sound of a phone call interrupted his train of thought.

Picking up the phone, he glanced at it and quickly connected.

 “How is it? Is there any result?”

 “Boss.” It was Li Chengyi's voice on the other end of the phone. "Please help me find out whether Jagier's parents were originally from Gris?"

Syndra frowned and quickly contacted the company's AI at White Star through the dedicated line.

In just over ten seconds, the information was fed back.

"You are right. The Jagier family was originally a black family that was smuggled over by Gris. Later, they received a residence permit through the resettlement policy and became residents of the Yi Kingdom." Syndra answered quickly.

"That's right! They all match." Li Chengyi cheered up and said, "We found some clues here in the mental hospital. There is a nursery rhyme that some patients here like to sing. I asked about it, it's Jagier I hummed it unconsciously at first.”

 “Nursery rhyme?”

"Yes." Li Chengyi said quickly, "I checked, and the name of the nursery rhyme is Good-natured Burwu! And the pronunciation of Burwu, in the Grisi language, means..."

 “Big-faced monster!”
