Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 590 Silencing
But the problem before them now was the disciple's exact identity and... his relationship with the Feng family.
According to their previous speculation, the Feng family took advantage of the opportunity to send disaster victims to secretly seal the disciple who was about to be completely eroded in the last carriage, and then planned to send him out of Greystone Town.
What they didn't expect was that an accident happened on the way, and this person was completely eroded by the door, causing the ghost behind the door to no longer be restrained, so he ran out and killed everyone on the train.
"How could a Dongyang person (Japanese) get involved with the Feng family?" Fatty seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Could it be that the Feng family is secretly colluding with the Dongyang people?"
According to this idea, a bold guess gradually emerged. Huai Yi touched his chin and slowly asked, "Could it be that... what happened on the May 5th train is related to the Dongyang people?"
"But have you ever thought about what their purpose is?" Chen Qiang, who hadn't said much, asked the most critical question.
After all, there were only disaster victims on the train, not important people, or weapons, ammunition, or important supplies.
What can a group of disaster victims do?
But just as everyone was stuck here, Jiang Cheng's eyes suddenly stopped, and then he immediately took out the newspaper Wu Dali had sent earlier.
Lin Wan'er, who was sitting next to him, seemed to have a telepathic connection with him. She took out her mobile phone, clicked on the screen a few times, and then placed the phone on the table and pushed it in front of Jiang Cheng.
Holding the newspaper and staring at the phone for a while, Jiang Cheng finally spread the newspaper on the table, took a deep breath, raised his head, and said in a suppressed tone: "If I'm not mistaken, what the Dongyang people want are these disaster victims."
"What did you say?"
Without Jiang Cheng having to招呼 (zhāohu - call, greet), everyone naturally gathered around. Jiang Cheng dipped some tea in his hand and circled a circle on the newspaper.
"Look, here is the reported route of the May 5th train."
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head to look at the mobile phone. The mobile phone had a map on it. Before coming here, Lin Wan'er had downloaded the nearby map to the mobile phone, and now it just came in handy.
He zoomed in on the map, and then marked the approximate route of the train on it. When the route connected the two towns, a sound of gasping suddenly sounded.
Everyone stared at the not-so-big mobile phone screen. In the middle section of the route, slightly to the right, a heavily marked name attracted everyone's attention—Mine (Gold).
"It's a gold mine!" Linghu Yong exclaimed, his thoughts instantly connected. Many things he couldn't figure out before now had an explanation. "Those missing disaster victims are not dead. They were captured by the Dongyang people and forced to mine gold!"
"No wonder those who died in the last carriage were all old, weak, sick, and disabled, because they didn't have the strength to do heavy work, so it was a burden to keep them, so they simply disposed of them all." Fatty interjected, his emotions becoming more and more agitated.
According to the historical background at the time, everyone believed that they could definitely do such a thing.
"Do you still remember what the disaster victims on the train looked like?" Jiang Cheng continued, "They were covered in wounds. I saw that many were cut by knives. Some people had their limbs cut off, and the cut was very neat." He paused, and said in a low voice: "That knife... is very fast."
Without a doubt, after these disaster victims lost their value, all that awaited them was death.
The gold mine was the Dongyang people's secret, and those disaster victims would inevitably be silenced. The broken bodies on the train after being chopped and burned were silent accusations.
The silent figures on the train lingered in everyone's minds for a long time.
They were all compatriots. Decades ago, they were also living people, someone's father, someone's wife, mother, children...
"I also found this, which can also be regarded as corroboration." Jiang Cheng opened another newspaper, and in an inconspicuous place, there was a message like this.
It roughly meant that another pair of father and son who went into the mountains to hunt had mysteriously disappeared. This was the third disappearance case recently.
The approximate locations of several disappearance cases were also marked on it. After comparing it with the map on the mobile phone, they were all concentrated near the gold mine.
It was estimated that they inadvertently discovered the secret of the Dongyang people and were silenced, or were captured into the gold mine, with the same fate as those disaster victims.
In short, in the end, no one survived, so no one uncovered the secret of the May 5th train.
"That's generally how it is, but there is a very crucial point that doesn't make sense." Chen Qiang opened his mouth and looked at Jiang Cheng and said.
Jiang Cheng seemed to know what he was going to ask, and nodded directly, "You want to ask about that Dongyang disciple."
"That's right, if that Dongyang disciple was really completely eroded, causing the door in his body to lose control, then the ghost behind the door should have killed people without any scruples, so how could it only kill the old and weak disaster victims, and also let go of the remaining disaster victims, and those Dongyang people who robbed the disaster victims?" Chen Qiang shook his head and said, "This doesn't make sense."
"There's nothing that doesn't make sense, because that door never lost control, and is still under the control of the disciple." Luo He said.
His voice was calm, just like him, a pool of stagnant water, without any waves. Jiang Cheng even suspected that he had thought of this a long time ago, but he just didn't point it out.
"The disciple never lost control?" Fatty's face was full of the confusion of who am I, where am I, what are you guys talking about.
In the end, it was Jiang Cheng who spoke, which was considered to have solved his confusion, "This matter is a transaction from beginning to end between the Feng family and the Dongyang people."
"The Feng family secretly transported the Dongyang disciple onto the last carriage, the purpose of which was to fake the disappearance of the disaster victims as a paranormal event."
"After they forced the train to stop on the way, the Dongyang people who were ambushing nearby got on the train and captured the valuable young labor force, and then brought the remaining, worthless old, weak, sick, and disabled to the last carriage."
"Here, the Dongyang disciple used the power of his door to kill them all, and then drove this empty train to the next station under the cover of night."
Fatty ran all these like shooting a movie in his mind, and found that there were no major omissions, and everything was reasonable.
It seems... this is the truth behind the disappearance of the May 5th train.
"The Feng family are traitors!" Fatty thought of the tragic situation of the disaster victims, and hated them so much that his teeth itched, "They deserve their current fate!"
"Heaven's way is a cycle, the heavens will spare no one, it's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come." Pi Ruan, like Fatty, showed righteous indignation and denounced the Feng family's despicable actions.
