The rain was pouring non-stop, and the lead-gray clouds were hanging from the sky to the muddy ground, which made people feel particularly depressed.
He quietly walked to the back of the crowd, afraid that others would know of his presence. But everyone turned around almost instantaneously, as if they had known he would appear in this second.
"Here you are!" Someone was holding him on the shoulder from behind.
He looked back blankly, a woman dressed in black, feeling a little familiar, but half of her face was obscured by an umbrella and could not be seen clearly.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!" The woman's fingers stretched forward.
He was shocked to find that a deep pit had been dug out in front of him, and in the pit an empty coffin was like an open mouth, ready to be swallowed.
"Why is there no one in the coffin?" He vaguely sensed danger.
"Don't you know?" The woman grinned, "This is a funeral for you!" ”
"No!" He subconsciously refused, but everyone gathered around him and wrapped their hands and feet around him like vines.
"Let's go inside! Let's go inside! ”
He was dizzy, and his whole body fell powerlessly into the dark tomb, and a heavy tombstone slowly landed, and the tombstone was engraved with three bright red characters: Fang Jingxin.
…………
He bounced off the cardboard and it took him a long time to realize it was just a nightmare. He had been dreaming the same thing all these days, and unlike yesterday, this time he saw the name on the tombstone.
Fang Jingxin!
Ever since he woke up by the river half a month ago, he has been a man with no memory.
Penniless and without any documents to prove his identity, he racked his brains to remember his identity, but in vain.
His survival instinct soon taught him to compete with stray dogs for food in the garbage heap, exchanging the scrap paper and drink bottles he had picked up for a meagre amount of money.
Every night, hungry and sleepy, he lay in a nest made of waste cardboard boxes, and he would desperately wonder, is this hellish day never ending?
But the name gave him hope, and he had a strong feeling that the name must have something to do with him! But where did you see the name?
He jumped up suddenly, quickly rummaging through the old newspapers he had collected in the past few days. Found, in one of the newspapers saw such a headline: Annual entrepreneur Fang Jingxin presided over the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the science park, with the title photo of a heroic young man.
He trembled and felt half a broken lens, comparing the photo to look at himself in the mirror, except for his haggard face, it was exactly the same as the photo!
It turned out that he was Fang Jingxin! This discovery made him feel like he had walked from hell to the gates of heaven.
But there is still one step to really get rid of the sea of suffering, that is, to be yourself, how can you be yourself?
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully read the contents of the news. But only when he saw the first sentence, his heart was like a red-hot iron block suddenly encountering cold water and cooling down.
September 16...
Through the newspaper, he knew that today was September 20th, and four days ago he was still picking up garbage on the street, how could the person who cut the ribbon in the Science Park be himself?
He felt his body constantly falling, and fate gave him hope and immediately let it shatter. This feeling of gain and loss is more uncomfortable than never having hope.
impossible! His mind was thinking desperately, hoping to find a life-saving straw.
That's right! He suddenly realized that twin brothers, only twin brothers can have such a similar appearance.
Although he was not a Monopoly, he was a Brother of Monopoly, and when he thought about it, he felt like a drowning man breathing air again.
Be sure to find this Fang Jingxin, only he can save himself. He scrambled through the newspaper and finally let him find the phone number of the Fang Group.
He came to the public telephone booth with the coins he had obtained from the sale of waste paper, and at the moment of dialing the phone, his heart beat almost stopped.
"Hello! Fang's Group. The phone rang in the sweet female voice of the lady at the front desk.
"Hello..." He didn't know how to introduce himself.
"Fang Dong... Is that you? ”
The surprised voice of the other party suddenly increased his confidence a lot, it seemed that he and Fang Jingxin not only looked similar, but even spoke in a similar voice, and it was more likely that they were twin brothers.
"I am Fang Dong's brother, and I want to find him." He said in a firm tone.
"Well..." The other hesitated, and his heart immediately lifted, but fortunately she continued, "Please wait. ”
The phone rang with the sound of the music in transit, which was undoubtedly a triumphant song of victory for him.
"Which one?" If he hadn't heard the voice coming from the other side of the microphone, he would have thought he was talking.
"Can you hear who I am?" He asked cautiously and hopefully.
The other party was silent for half a minute, and when he spoke again, his voice became obviously stiff and hostile: "Can't hear, who are you?" ”
"Me, I could be your twin." He couldn't wait to say, "I've lost my memory and I don't have an identity document, but I look exactly like you..."
"You're mistaken, I don't have twins." The other party quickly hung up the phone.
He stood there, listening to the busy beeps in the telephone handset and finally turned into silence. How can this be? Two people who look exactly the same, one is a rich man with unlimited scenery, and the other is a beggar who has nothing.
Heaven is so unfair! If only I could become him, this thought flashed like a spark.
This wish is nothing less than wishful thinking to others, but he is different, he has the same appearance and voice as Fang Jingxin, if one day Fang Jingxin disappears, he runs out and pretends to recognize him, I guess no one will doubt.
But the problem is that Fang Jingxin will not "disappear" for no reason unless he can find a "way". If he wants to get out of his current hellish life, he must find a way!
But when he waited at the door of the Fang Group for a week, he found out how stupid his idea was, Fang was a rich man, there were drivers in and out, there were security guards at the company gate, he didn't even have the opportunity to get along with Fang alone, and he wanted to kill the other party unconsciously, which was simply more delusional than whimsical.
Just when he was desperate again, things took a turn for the worse - one day Fang Jingxin went to a nearby flower shop after work to buy a bouquet of flowers, and judging from the owner's attentive attitude, Fang was a regular customer of the store.
The next day, he called the flower shop from the public telephone and asked the flower shop to send a large bouquet of flowers to his house in the name of Fang Jingxin. The florist's men heard his voice and surely did not have the slightest doubt. After placing the order, he deliberately asked one more question: "Do you remember my home address?" ”
"Remember, 13 Garden Road."
The real opportunity has finally arrived! Even if a person has more retinues, he will always be alone when he sleeps, right? Fang's home is the best place to start.
He found Fang Jingxin's home according to the address, the name Garden Road is not wrong at all, the road is surrounded by greenery on both sides, 10 meters into the intersection, the noise outside has nothing to do with this place.
At this time, Fang Jingxin should be busy in the company, but he did not rush in, but found a hidden corner to crouch down. He knew that the closer he got to his goal, the more he would be calm, that there was only one chance, and that he would never act rashly until he was 100 percent sure.
He squatted in the corner for two days and two nights, watching Fang Jingxin's car pass in front of him three times. Fang didn't pay attention to him, and he couldn't dream that the inconspicuous tramp like garbage would soon take away everything from him.
At 8:45 a.m. on the third day, Fang Jingxin's car left on time.
At 9:15, a forty-year-old nanny aunt opened the iron door and walked out, slowly disappearing into the alley.
He jerked to his feet, knowing that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come!
After two days of observation, he determined that there were only two people in the Fang Mansion, Fang Jingxin and the nanny. The au pair goes out groceries every day at around 9:15 and returns around 10:30, and this hour is the perfect time for him to act!
He came to the wall of the square house and quickly climbed a tall plane tree. I don't know if it was because he squatted too long or because of the urgency, his legs were shaking constantly.
After hiding in the shade of the trees for a while, his nervousness gradually subsided—there were almost no pedestrians on the road, so no one noticed his misdeeds. The room was also quiet, confirming the suspicion that no one inside him had.
After much thought, he finally made up his mind to jump from the tree over the wall. He knew that from the moment he jumped up, things were like arrows off the string, whether it was success or failure, there was no possibility of turning back.
There was a loud noise when it landed, and it seemed harsh in this silent courtyard. He fell to the ground, feeling like a prisoner awaiting a verdict. If there is someone in the house... He didn't dare to think about it any longer.
After waiting for what seemed like a century, but there was no movement in the house, he finally completely relaxed his mind. It seems that the god of luck is on his side, and this operation will definitely be successful!
He pushed open the villa's red glass door, and a familiar breath suddenly came over him, as if he had lived in it for a long time.
He walked through the living room and up the wooden escalator to the second floor, as naturally as if he were returning to his own home. When he came to the dark door, his mood became tense again, and his intuition told him that behind the door was everything he wanted to know.
Just as he was holding the doorknob and preparing to open it, there was a sudden sound behind him. In an instant, the blood in his whole body was coagulated, how could there be anyone else in the room?
The sound came from another room, and it was still getting closer, and the man was about to open the door and come out!
At this time, there was no way to retreat, and he could only unscrew the door and flash in. Almost as he gently covered the door, the outside door opened, and footsteps kept moving closer.
What to do? He made his decision almost in less than a second, jumping up onto a Chinese cabinet more than a meter high, standing on top of the cabinet and easily touching the ceiling with his hands. With the force of his hands, a piece of the ceiling was pushed open, revealing the attic above.
He struggled to climb up the attic and cover it with planks, and the door below was creaked open and someone came in.
His heart was beating so fast that it was about to protrude from his chest, fortunately a second faster, otherwise he would have been caught. "How did I know there was an attic here?" He couldn't understand it, but it was the best place to hide anyway.
He looked closely at the attic, which, though narrow, had a circular window on the wall, so it was still quite bright. The ground was thick with dust, but the middle one was relatively clean, as if someone had recently wiped it. There was a small hole in the middle of the floor that shone with a faint light.
To avoid making a sound, he crawled slowly like a snail to the clean area, then pressed his eyes to the small hole, and everything in the room below was indeed in front of him.
I saw a young woman in black standing in the room, because her position at the moment was facing him, so she couldn't see her face clearly.
Who is this woman? He was anxious and annoyed, and from Fang Jingxin's act of ordering flowers, he judged that Fang was unmarried, because married men rarely sent flowers to their wives. It was because of this mistake that his plan was completely frustrated. Now trapped in the attic, not to mention the assassination of Fang Jingxin, even getting out is a problem.
But since I got here, I had to take one step at a time.
He stared at the woman in the small hole, hoping that she would leave as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the woman in black did not leave, but looked up at the wall in a daze.
There is a large wedding photo hanging on the wall, the man is naturally Fang Jingxin, the woman... He was shocked, wasn't this woman the one who had pushed him into the grave in his dream?
The woman looked at the photo for a long time, and suddenly two lines of tears fell: "Respect, you don't blame me, all this is forced by you." ”
What did she mean by that? From the photos, she should be Fang's wife, but the tone of her speech was as if she was about to do something sorry for Fang.
Why does Fang Jingxin's wife hate Fang? And judging from the traces on the attic, there were people here who were peeping like him not long ago, who was that person, and what was his purpose?
He began to find that this matter was far more complicated than he had planned, and originally wanted to lay a trap for Fang Jingxin, but now it seemed like he had jumped into a trap.
He lay on the floor and did not dare to take a breath, and this extreme depression made him miss the days of wandering in the streets. Those hellish lives seemed to have become heaven again compared to now, at least he still had freedom there, and he didn't have to worry and be careful every second like now.
He wished the woman could walk away, even if it was a little, and the dreary atmosphere was like a shackle that weighed him down. But the more upset he was, the longer the time would be, until he was on the verge of collapse when there was finally a noise outside—it was the babysitter who had bought groceries who had returned.
The babysitter walked upstairs, first to the next room, and then to this side.
"Ma'am."
"What's the matter?" The woman did not look back, but gently wiped the tear marks from her face.
"Ma'am, I've had some words in my heart for a long time... I don't know if I should say it or not. The nanny snorted, "Don't you think Mr. Fang is different from before?" ”
"What's the difference?" The woman turned back alertly.
"Since I came back that night," the nanny said no longer scrupulously, "it is not like the original Mr. Fang, the tone of his speech, his demeanor... During this time, he never scolded me for half a sentence, nor did he... Hit Mrs. You. ”
"Isn't it good to change like this?" The woman seemed to ask with deep meaning.
"Good! But..."
"Just be good, remember, no matter how he changes, it's good for us."
"Got it, ma'am, I'll go cook." The babysitter left without a promise. The woman also left the room with a sigh.
Both men left, but their conversations echoed in his mind.
"It's not like the original Mr. Fang!"
Suddenly, he remembered something in a flash. He rolled over and opened the planks, jumped out of the attic, took off his dirty clothes and went into the bathroom, unscrewing the faucet to wash away his dirty body. As the dirt was peeled away inch by inch, his memory became clearer and clearer.
After taking a shower, he pulled open the mirror and expertly took the razor from the cabinet behind him and scraped off the scruffy beard off his face. The people in the mirror have cold eyes and extraordinary temperament, and where is there a bit like a homeless man who has fallen?
The two women heard voices running up from downstairs and couldn't help but scream when they saw him.
"You... Didn't you go to the company? ”
He casually opened the closet and found the clothes of the past to put on.
"That's fake, I'm the real Fang Jingxin." He smiled and said that this matter was really ridiculous, he was bent on impersonating Fang Jingxin, and it turned out that he was Fang Jingxin, and it was someone else who impersonated him.
"How can this be?" The woman asked in disbelief.
"He is my twin brother," Fang Jingxin said through gritted teeth, "a brother I haven't seen in thirty years!" ”
"You also know that when I was a child, my family was very poor, and he fell ill and died not long after he was born. The family did not have money to cure him, so they put him in a wooden basin and drifted down the river. We thought he was dead, but we didn't expect him to come to me suddenly a few months ago. ”
"He said he saw me in the newspaper, suspected I was his twin brother, and begged me to lend money to his mother for treatment, what a joke!" Fang Jingxin sneered and said, "My money won't even be given to my mother, let alone his mother?" ”
"Watching him go, I thought he was dead hearted. I didn't expect this guy to sneak into my house and hide in the attic for an unknown amount of time. Until you have a clear grasp of my situation, give me a stick in the back of your head, and then throw me into the river. ”
"He was really cruel enough to take my life and take everything from me." While he was resentful, he didn't think that he had used the same poison scheme before.
"But fortunately I'm not dead, I'm back!"
"But... But how do I know you're telling the truth? The woman asked nervously.
"Stupid!" Fang Jingxin slapped the woman's face hard, knocking her to the ground, "Even your husband can't recognize it?" Not even a servant. ”
The babysitter shivered and couldn't say half a word with her mouth open for half a day.
"But everybody out there thinks he's you." The woman looked up weakly, and there was already blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, "All your identity certificates and seals are in his hands at the moment, even if you call the police, the police will not necessarily believe what you say." ”
"It's not easy to get all this back," he said with a sly smile, "there is only one Fang Jingxin in this world, just let the other one disappear." ”
"Sister-in-law! Your kidney-diseased son is in desperate need of money for surgery, right? He said to the servant, "If you want me to help you, you have to do me a favor first." ”
The three of them spent a busy afternoon digging a large pit in the yard, and if a man were buried in this pit, even the most sensitive police dog would not be able to smell even a single smell.
At 7:30 p.m., there was a sound of cars stopping outside the door.
"You go and open the door!" As he spoke to Tian Concubine, he tightened the pickaxe in his hand.
When the fake Fang Jingxin walked in, he would definitely be attracted by this big pit, and when he walked to the side of the big pit, he would flash out behind the rockery and give him a fatal blow to the back of his head.
"It's time!" He tried to tell the woman to cooperate, but as soon as he turned back, he saw an oncoming shovel.
With a bang, he only felt the sky spinning, his eyes bulging with Venus, and he involuntarily fell into the pit.
He lay at the bottom of the pit, a beautiful and grim face looking down from above.
"You... Why? He couldn't believe that it would be his wife who was usually tame like a sheep.
"Because I've had enough!" The woman was in tears, but the expression on her face was no longer weak, "I already knew he was fake, but he could give me something you never gave." ”
"Tian... Sister-in-law! He cried out for help weakly, he knew that even the softest woman, once she changed her heart, could be harder than iron, and now the only person who could save him was Tian Concubine, although he was extremely mean to her usually, but if she wanted to save her son, she had to save herself first.
Sister-in-law Tian's face also appeared on the edge of the pit, but she was holding a large stone in her hand.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, my son's medical expenses have already been paid by Mr. Fang, and he promised to provide him with college until he finishes college." Or is the wife right, that Mr. Fang is better! Rest in peace! ”
Tian Sister-in-law's hand was loose, and the stone roared down.
His eyes were stoned and he couldn't see anything, and his consciousness began to blur. In the darkness, he heard someone open the door and said kindly, "Husband, are you back?" ”
"Done?"
"As you planned, he dug hard all afternoon and didn't know he was attending his funeral."
The last sentence, Fang Jingxin could no longer hear.
