Chapter 3486: The Sound of the Piano in the Dawn
The head was roughly pressed into the sink, and the feeling of coldness and suffocation instantly sobered up the feverish brain... and made it react.
The drunk struggled instinctively, but his weak body was simply unable to resist the opponent's violence...until reason completely overcame the anesthesia of consciousness, and a breath of fresh and turbid air was inhaled into his lungs.
"It seems he is awake now."
Weak... gasping.
The drunk man collapsed on the ground, terrified. It took him a while to recover, and then he became angry. However, at this time, a black pistol was already against his head.
"I don't have time to explain anything to you." Liu Jinghe said directly: "Tell me everything you know about the research institute...Ye Qiu."
"Who are you?" Ye Qiu sounded a little weak and alert, "Why do you know... [Yaohua]? Are you... from the Inspection Department?"
Audit department?
Liu Jinghe was slightly startled, but he remained calm and said, "You look just like a homeless person on the street. Why do you think I only looked for you and even know your name?"
At the same time, Liu Jinghe also had an impression of the Audit Department... Vega once told him that there has always been a special department within the group to monitor every member of the group.
The group’s welfare benefits are extremely high, and accordingly, the loyalty requirements for employees are also extremely high.
"After all, you found me... and noticed me..." Ye Qiu curled up his body, as if talking to himself, looking more and more helpless and neurotic.
Liu Jinghe thought for a moment and said, "It seems that you already knew that we would come after you."
Ye Qiu, who had recovered somewhat, looked at me mockingly and resentfully at the same time, "Didn't you make me look like this? Will you really let me go so easily? You have come to me many times over the years... observing me secretly, but never showing up. I can feel it. But I don't understand. You have clearly relaxed... and even given up monitoring me, why do you come to me again!"
Liu Jinghe said calmly: "Since when did you feel that you had been abandoned by surveillance?"
Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Two years ago... Actually, it was very frequent at the beginning, but then this feeling became less and less, until it disappeared two years ago. I thought it was not safe yet, so I kept the same appearance... But you guys showed up again after all."
Liu Jinghe nodded without denying it. He tried to weave something based on the few words Ye Qiu said... With Ye Qiu's tenacity that could make him decadent for years and even almost fool the Inspection Department...
It's a pity that he doesn't know the art of soul searching.
"Tell me about your story." Liu Jinghe said calmly at this time, "How did you deceive the Inspection Department in the first place... Of course, you can continue to choose to conceal it. In fact, it doesn't matter to me. You should know that the Inspection Department will also handle some things in a more extreme way. For example, if the root cause of the trouble disappears, the trouble will disappear, and my work will be completed."
"You can't do this!" Ye Qiu was immediately furious. "I am a meritorious person in the group! You can't do this to me!"
The black pistol tapped Ye Qiu's forehead gently. "So you should confess to me calmly. This may be the only way for you to save yourself. You should be glad that you met me tonight instead of someone else."
Ye Qiu calmed down all of a sudden and looked at him suspiciously, "You do look... different from the other guys."
Liu Jinghe said calmly: "How many people are there in the Inspection Department, and how many of them have you met?"
Ye Qiu was stunned, then smiled bitterly… He did not take the ridicule to heart, but asked nervously, "Can I…can I know what your execution standards are this time?"
"It depends on how honest you are." Liu Jinghe shrugged. "Like you said, you have made great contributions. I don't want to make things too difficult for you."
Ye Qiu immediately said in a cold voice: "Difficult? How dare you say that? When you deleted my memory, why didn't you say it was difficult? I begged you for a long time, but you didn't let me go!"
Liu Jinghe's heart choked...Ye Qiu's memory was deleted? !
He suddenly realized a problem. Ye Qiu's identity was a senior researcher in the abandoned research institute and an employee who was directly involved in the secret research... Why was he able to stay?
The entire research institute has been emptied, and no information is left!
Memory deletion... Is this the reason why Ye Qiu was able to stay?
The other two researchers who were hit by his bullets also had their memories of that year erased?
Or maybe, they are just unimportant outsiders, so they don’t even need to delete it. They just know that there is an important research in it, but never know what the specific content is?
No, since Ye Qiu’s memory was deleted, how could he leave information about [Cheng Huang] through his diary... The emotions revealed in the diary are very real.
He had an idea and decided to change the angle.
"Do you know why I came to you?" Liu Jinghe played with the black gun in his hand, "Your file has been reopened for investigation."
Ye Qiu looked as if he had expected this, and asked quietly, "How did you...find out this?"
Liu Jinghe thought about it, then took out a folded piece of paper... This was the image of [Cheng Huang] that he had redrawn based on his memory, and he showed it to Captain Guo Miyuki.
"I found the diary you hid in the lounge." He stared into the other person's eyes. "The people who were responsible for dealing with you were a different group of people. I now have reason to suspect that you and those people from the Audit Department reached some kind of deal that was detrimental to the interests of the group."
After seeing the drawings that Liu Jinghe took out, Ye Qiu's expression changed several times. Then he let out a long sigh, stretched out his arm, and silently pulled up his sleeves.
He turned his arm over and saw some scars on the skin inside his arm... The scars had already grown out, but they were still clearly recognizable. These were a few words.
【Chenghuang】, 【Yaohua】, 【Accident】... 【Memory】
"Is this your method?" Liu Jinghe was very surprised, and had a simple sense of sudden enlightenment.
“You didn’t expect it to be that simple.” Ye Qiu sneered again, and there seemed to be a sense of revenge in his laughter. “But speaking of it, I still have to thank those people at that time. If they hadn’t promised to help me preserve the memory of [Yaohua], I might have really been ruined... Of course, I must have begged them for a long time.”
Maybe there are also huge bribes or something like that... The Audit Department is responsible for finding corrupt officials within the group, but if there are corrupt officials in this department...
Never mind, this wasn't a headache for him.
"You just said...should?"
"Do you think they will keep my memory of them?" Ye Qiu asked back, "But obviously, this speculation should be the closest to the truth."
"So all this is your own speculation?"
"Otherwise, how could I only have memories of Yaohua? Why didn't your Inspection Department give up monitoring me in the first few years?" Ye Qiu said slowly at this time: "...Afterwards, I completely lost my memory of the entire research, leaving only bits and pieces of my acquaintance with Yaohua. I was told that this was a sequelae of the research accident, and was finally arranged by the group as a left-behind personnel. Later, I deduced little by little through the scars left on my arm... This makes sense, doesn't it?"
Liu Jinghe almost believed the other party. There were many things in Ye Qiu's speculation that were worthy of belief... otherwise there was really no way to explain why he could stay.
I paid the money, my memory was erased, there was no threat, and the person did not leave... I was under surveillance for several years.
It seems that this man's feelings for [Yaohua] are really deep.
Liu Jinghe suddenly said: "But have you ever thought about this question? Since your memory about the research has been deleted, and the Inspection Department has this ability... then, will your memory about [Yaohua] be true?"
"What do you mean?" Ye Qiu was stunned.
He was truly stunned. His brain was completely unable to react and he didn't know how to deal with it... He even lost consciousness for a short time. Then he felt an enormous sense of panic, which made his entire body feel icy cold, as if he was placed in a high place with no place to stand. He felt extremely uneasy, panicked... and scared!
"This is impossible!" he suddenly screamed.
"Why is this impossible?" Liu Jinghe said quietly, "The people in the Inspection Department are not idiots. Aren't they afraid that this matter will be exposed? Maybe you really have reached some agreement with them, or you have some leverage over them. Even if they kill you, it will not help. Only letting you barely survive will be effective... Then, why do they completely mess up your memory?"
"This……"
Liu Jinghe said in a low voice, "Have you ever thought that maybe even the scar on your arm was not carved by you? Will the Inspection Department really let you do such a clumsy trick under their noses?"
"You're lying!" Ye Qiu responded in a stressed-out tone, "This isn't true! You're trying to trick me! This isn't true!!"
He pounced on me like a hungry dog...how could he be a match for Liu Jinghe?
Ye Qiu covered his stomach and fell to the ground in pain.
Liu Jinghe shook his head. "Ye Qiu, your life is as terrible as it seems."
"It's not true, it's not true..." Ye Qiu murmured in pain, "The one I love the most is Yaohua... I remember her appearance, her voice, everything he and I did... everything... You lied to me... lied to me!"
Seeing this, Liu Jinghe simply knocked Ye Qiu unconscious temporarily and then took him away.
He had been out for too long... He was not worried that Captain Miyuki would worry about him, but he was worried that the other party would lose her composure because she couldn't find him and expose her whereabouts.

……
At a lakeside in the suburbs, the stars are intertwined in the sky and the water. At dawn when there is not much artificial pollution, the stars and the moon are both bright... and the sky in the distance is as white as a fish belly.
The space shook inadvertently, and then dispersed like floating cotton, and a man in white clothes walked out slowly - on his face was an evil ghost mask made of crystal-like material.
The evil ghost's mask and the elegant white clothes have a natural sense of disconnection, but when combined on this man, they appear to be in perfect harmony.
"Golden World..."
Gao Changgong sat down under a weeping willow tree by the lake, with a guqin placed across his legs. The leisurely and gentle sounds accompanied the changing colors of the day... He was like a hermit.
Since reviving in the [Blue] and meeting his new master, Gao Changgong did not choose to stay with his new master immediately, but instead spent some time traveling in the [Foreign Land].
On the one hand, it was to adapt to the transition from the holy land to the [shop], and on the other hand, it was to try to fully recover myself - both of these aspects actually had quite good results.
The master is the master, no matter whether he is the Holy Lord or the [Store Manager], his inner nature will not change.
His thoughts returned, and he gently placed his hands on the strings, actively stopping the sound.
Gao Changgong tilted his head and looked over. Not far away, under another weeping willow tree, there stood a gentle young man...who was smiling.
"I was attracted by the sound of the piano when I came here, so I came here uninvited. I hope you can forgive me." The young man smiled slightly, took a step forward, and came directly here.
Gao Changgong said calmly: "You really came uninvited... I don't like to be disturbed when I'm playing the piano. Considering that this is your first offense, I'll let it go this time."
"Why not share the joy with others when you can enjoy it alone?" The young man chuckled and said, "Sir, your piano skills are truly rare."
Gao Changgong stretched out his hand and touched the guqin, and the guqin disappeared. He stood up, without even looking at the other party, and turned and left.
The elegant figure in white seemed to blend into the morning light... A strange color flashed in the young man's eyes, and he couldn't help but say, "Sir, please wait a moment."
The elegant figure in white eventually disappeared without stopping for a moment.
The young man suddenly felt a sense of loss... It was rare for someone to reach his level of cultivation. The other party's attributes that were like thick fog made him extremely curious.
"Never heard of this person... Heaven and earth upgrade, some old monster that has never appeared?"
In addition to feeling lost, there is also a sense of being on edge.
A guy that makes people want to explore but is also dangerous - the young man secretly determined in his heart.
Suddenly, three streaks of light flashed and came... They were three men of extraordinary bearing, one was strong and powerful, one was gentle and refined, and one was introverted.
The three of them came to the young man and put their hands together at the same time, "[Bodhisattva]."
The young man… [Bodhisattva Shri] smiled and said, “I met a strange man on the road, I came to see him out of curiosity, nothing to do.”
The three nodded.
The strong man in the middle was surprised and said, "To be called a miraculous person by the Bodhisattva... there must be something special about him. I wonder how miraculous it is?"
"Perhaps we will meet again." [Bodhisattva Shri] waved his hand, "It will be fine when the time comes."
The strong and powerful man is the [Mighty Vajra] on Mount Lingshan. He comes here with the guardian [Bodhisattva]... to this [Fire Cloud City] to find the last candidate for the [Fighting Saint Prince].
The other two are [Victory Vajra] and [Eternal Vajra].
At this time, the gentle and refined [Eternal Vajra] stepped forward and said, "Bodhisattva, someone wants to see you..."
Looking at the mobile phone as heavy as a brick handed over by [Eternal Vajra], [Bodhisattva Shri] couldn't help but be stunned... He thought of who it was.
