Chapter 222 "Ghost Market" V Part Two
Dahai and I quickly ran towards Lixia and the old man.

The old man knelt on the ground and held his head, his expression extremely painful.

The jade pendant hanging under the old man's body is indeed an incised fish-shaped jade pendant.

"What is all this going on?" Dahai was the first to shout in confusion.

"According to what the old man said, the old man also lost." Li Xia followed.

I don't know what Lixia understands. My current situation is no different from that of the sea.Confused and at a loss.

I pushed Rikka and said, "What on earth is going on?"

Lixia pointed at the old man and said, "According to what he said about the Pisces Jade Pendant, he is just a clone."

"Clone? Not a living person?" I said.

"I'm not sure whether he is alive or not, but the reason why he is still alive is because of this jade pendant." Lixia said.

The old man raised his head and looked at Lixia and said, "Am I already dead?"

"Only you know whether you are dead or not," Lixia said.

"Myself? I know nothing myself. My memory is gone," said the old man.

"Your memory disappeared. I guess you were a little less than half a year old. From the moment my grandfather put your head in the watch, your memory disappeared. You are just a copy of you, so you become Alzheimer's." Rikka said.

"Nonsense. I got the jade pendant. I'll get your watch right away too. These are all mine," the old man shouted.

"It's very simple to prove these. Take off your necklace yourself. If you don't turn into fly ash, then you are real. If you turn into fly ash, then it proves that these are real treasures. It can also be proved What you said before is true," Lixia said.

"Wait, what did you just mention? Libai put my profile picture in the watch?" the old man said in surprise.

"Wait, what is all this?" Dahai said in confusion.

"If I'm thinking right. Last year, he and my grandfather divided up the jade pendant and watch. After my grandfather went back, he hung his head on the watch in a rage, and the watch killed everyone in the album. He didn't die. Because he is just a clone?" I said.

"Then he is a dead man?" Dahai said.

"Take off his necklace and everything will be clear," Rikka said.

"There is no way I am a dead man," said the old man.

"Then take off your necklace." Rikka said.

The old man stood in front of us hesitantly, his expression once again looking a little dazed.

Lixia said again: "I don't know how much of the story you told me is true, and I don't know if you guys worked together to kill Peng Jiamu. Then you used your story to perfectly avoid all culpability on your part, All Peng Jiamu's evil deeds were all done by the seven of you, so my grandfather will hate you. Because you are the one who takes the lead among the seven. Of course, now you are the only one alive among the seven. All this is true. I think only you know."

The old man grabbed his necklace and said to Rikka: "I will prove that I am a living person."

"You can't prove it," Rikka said.

The old man took off the fish-shaped jade pendant in front of us, and then his body slowly turned gray and poured down.

There was a pile of gray material at the bottom, with a fish-shaped jade pendant stuck diagonally on top.

"The old man is dead?" I said.

"You can see clearly, he committed suicide." Lixia said.

"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Dahai said in confusion.

Lixia picked up the jade pendant and said, "If you want to know, you need to go back and ask."

"Ask who?" I asked confused.

"His son, the person who lives in his house now." Rikka said, putting the jade pendant in his pocket and walking outside the nursing home.

"What are you going to do?" Dahai said.

Lixia turned his head and said: "An old man suddenly disappeared from the nursing home out of thin air. We have asked this old man before. Are you keeping him here and waiting to be caught?"

Dahai immediately grabbed me and walked outside.

At the door of Han Dong's house, Li Xia took the lead and knocked on the door again.

The middle-aged man opened the door again and said, "Why is it you again?"

Li Xia took out the fish-shaped jade pendant and said, "Your father is completely dead."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." The middle-aged man planned to close the door.

Lixia stuck one foot in the door and said: "I'll say it again, your father is completely dead. I know the secret inside, and you have to tell us what you did." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and opened the door. Door.

Han Dong's home is not big, with one room and one living room and we are all sitting in the hall.

The middle-aged man sat across from us and said, "My dad is dead."

"Didn't you say you were in a nursing home before?" Dahai said.

"He died half a year ago, but he liked these jade pendants very much during his lifetime," the middle-aged man said.

"We all know this," Lixia said.

"I planned to be buried with jade pendants, so I hung the whole pair of jade pendants on the old man's neck and pushed him to be cremated. But who knew that the coffin was moved at the crematorium the next day, so I opened the coffin. Inside, my father turned into two. One died. One of them was a bit demented. I had no choice but to find an excuse and ask someone to transport the coffin back home." said the middle-aged man.

"Where is the dead body?" Lixia asked.

The middle-aged man pointed to the refrigerator not far away and said nothing.

There is a refrigerator in the hall, and the location is really weird.Li Xia immediately walked over, and Dahai and I quickly followed.

There was a big lock on the refrigerator. Lixia said to the middle-aged man, "Can you open it and take a look?"

The middle-aged man took out a key from the cabinet and opened the freezer.

Lying inside was the body of an old man, exactly the same as the old man just now.

"Why put the elderly in nursing homes?" I said.

"My father is dead. I tried to take care of this Alzheimer's father. But he is not my father at all. He is just a dead man who can still breathe. So I have no choice but to send him to a nursing home." The middle-aged man said.

"People are dead. It's normal for the cloned person to have no soul." Lixia said.

"No, why did the old man talk to you just now?" I said.

"Recalling everything before, let's look back and reflect." Lixia said.

"This is too weird," I said.

"What the old man just said, there are more than a dozen of these evil things." Dahai said.

Rikka looked at me and said, "Can you tell him this story?"

I glanced at the sea, and the sea nodded.

We spent more than an hour again telling the middle-aged man everything about the Pang family and Lop Nur.

The middle-aged man reached out and took off the engraved jade pendant from the old man's neck and said: "I should understand what you are talking about. This watch and this jade pendant are both unlucky things. You can deal with it, I have no idea. "

Lixia took the jade pendant and watch and said, "What are you going to do?"

The middle-aged man turned around and said, "I plan to take my father to be cremated tomorrow."

"Are we going to hand it over to the country?" Dahai said.

"What should you say when asked about something that has been lost for so long?" Lixia said.

Dahai smiled and said: "I own an antique store and a ghost market, so it's not difficult to find an excuse to buy something."

"Everything in the old man's generation is his own fault. I hope it can pass. Just pretend it didn't happen, okay?" Lixia said.

As a listener, I have no say, and Dahai, as a beneficiary of hundreds of billions of assets, has nothing to say.

The middle-aged man could only nod in acquiescence to Li Xia's suggestions.

(postscript)
After half a year.

Dahai opened his own printing factory and carried out his idea of ​​opening a factory and becoming the boss.

I got the right to manage the south side of the ghost market, and I can eat and drink spicy food every day without being a villain.

Li Xia dragged Dahai's blessing directly to the management, and became a regional agent from an agency employee.

The middle-aged man's name is Han Hong, and he turns out to be a top student at the Central University of Finance and Economics.Dahai directly hired Gaoxin, eliminated Fu Bo and his accomplices, and replaced him with Han Hong.

After Dahai handed over the ghost eye watch and Pisces jade pendant, he also learned a secret during the chat.

There were [-] cultural relics in those days, but now the country only has archives but no physical objects.All were not shipped back but were scattered across the country and even the world.

Now the only things recovered are the ghost-eye watch and the Pisces jade pendant.
