1644 、 Get to the Bottom of it.
"You are Mr. Macrim?" Tang Yu sized up the ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him. He had broad shoulders, well-developed muscles, and his palms were full of calluses. He looked like a person who had been doing manual labor for a long time. Why did he look like a futuristic mechanical genius?
"Yes, I'm Malcolm," Malcolm said. The man smiled shyly. He knew that the person sitting in front of him was the chairman of the Guardian Group, a super energy tycoon with billions of dollars in assets.
"As the Chief Technical Consultant of this Titan Company, the conversation with you is very important. It concerns whether we can fulfill our acquisition. If it goes well, not only will I buy it at a favorable price, but I will also offer a high reward to every member of the company, especially you. "Tang Yu said.
Malcolm nodded.
Tang Yu continued, "Because I'm in a hurry, my next questions will be very fast. I hope you can answer them as soon as possible. What's your name? "
"Malcolm …" As soon as he answered, Tang Yu's next question came.
"Age?"
"37 years old."
"Interested?"
"Fishing."
"Occupation?"
"Agricultural … machinery design." The man's eyes flickered, but Tang Yu's questions continued.
"Do you have children?"
"Yes."
"What's your name?"
"Allen."
"Your wife's name?"
"Gerlyn."
"Your name?"
"David … No … Macream …"
Pa! Tang Yu abruptly closed the folder in front of him and stared at him with burning eyes. He said word by word, "So you're not a mechanical designer, and you're not called Malcolm. Your name is David, and you were a farmer! "
"No … Mr. Tang Yu … It's not like that … I …" David hurriedly stood up and wanted to explain, but he panicked.
He didn't know what to say.
"I understand. You're just a liar. Trask, withdraw the proposal and inform the police. Tell them that there is a suspect here. "Tang Yu didn't give him a chance to explain. He stood up and walked out the door.
"Wait a minute … Mr. Tang Yu … I didn't …" David quickly explained, but Tang Yu didn't want to listen to any explanation at all. He just continued to walk out.
"Please give us a chance! Mr Tang Yu!! "David did not know where he got his courage from, but he suddenly roared out. Then, he fell to his knees!
Tang Yu was moved. He turned around and tried to speak in a calm tone, "I just want you to tell me the truth. No matter what you encounter, I can help you. Now, get up and tell me the truth. Don't worry, I won't hurt you or your family. I swear on my honor. "
David nodded and stood up slowly. He returned to the chair and sat down. He was drenched in cold sweat. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to light it, but his trembling hand couldn't hold the lighter. With a click, the lighter fell to the ground. He suddenly felt awkward. He didn't know if he should bend down to pick it up or continue. At this time, there was a ding. A flame was lit in front of him. It turned out that Tang Yu had taken out a delicate Zippo lighter and handed it to him.
"Thank … Thank you …" David nodded to express his gratitude. He lit the cigarette on Tang Yu's lighter and took a deep puff. His mood immediately calmed down.
"You keep this lighter." Tang Yu turned the Zippo lighter in his hand and handed it to David.
"Thank you." David nodded mechanically. He looked at the gold-plated custom-made Zippo lighter and solemnly put it in his pocket.
"Now, let's talk about your story." Tang Yu sat on the sofa and supported his chin with his hands. His sharp eyes pierced straight into David's heart.
David didn't dare to look at Tang Yu. He lowered his head and whispered, "I killed someone …"
Tang Yu waved his hand nonchalantly. "It doesn't matter. Go on. I can help you settle things like murder."
Hearing this, David calmed down a little. He took another puff of his cigarette and continued, "I killed Ian, Glade … and a few of their subordinates … I was originally a farmer living in Nevada. My family was very poor, and I always wanted to have a child with my wife, but I couldn't because we were really poor … But things changed a few months ago. That night, there was a sudden flash of lightning and thunder. It seemed that it was going to rain. I was afraid that the thunder would scare our horse, so I went out to check, but...
The electricity suddenly hit me … "
Lightning … Tang Yu frowned, but he didn't say anything and continued to listen.
"After I woke up, I was already lying on the bed. My wife and child were crying beside the bed. They said that I had been unconscious for the whole day. Later, I went to the hospital for a checkup, but there was no problem at all. It was from that day onwards that a lot of things appeared in my mind … I don't know what they were. It was very messy, very complicated, and there was everything. One day, when I went to watch a horse race, a scene suddenly flashed in my mind. It was a brown horse that was originally lagging behind, but it caught up and won the championship! So I wanted to try it, so I bet one dollar … Then, what happened was exactly the same as what I saw. I actually won! "David's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"After that, I often went to gamble on horses. Every time a scene of a horse race appeared in my mind, I would gamble, and I would win every time! So I made a lot of money from this. But the more I watched, the fewer scenes I saw. So I wanted to gamble big … But I was found out by the boss of the racetrack, Glade. "
As David spoke, he lost control of his emotions. "He captured my son and threatened me, saying that if I didn't tell him the secret of horse racing, he would kill my whole family! I told him! I told him! But how to say this thing! How to say it! I told him that there were scenes in my mind, and I told him! But he didn't listen!! In a moment of desperation, I picked up a pitchfork, and everything after that was a blur … When I woke up, I was already at home. "
"I was covered in blood, and I was too scared … So, I ran away with my family in the middle of the night. I was already homeless. When I was at my wits' end, a very kind bald old man appeared in my mind … He told me that I could go abroad, and then use some of the scenes that occasionally appeared in my mind to make a living … So, I went to Canada … "David said with his head lowered, and tears began to appear in the corners of his eyes.
Tang Yu took out a Walkman and waved it. "In other words, the design of this thing is the scene you saw in your mind?"
"Yes." David nodded.
Tang Yu turned his head, and met Trask's similarly inquisitive gaze. He began to think in his heart. That bald old man, could he be Professor X? And the scenes that David saw … Maybe they were some fragments produced during space-time transmission? The time when he was struck by lightning also coincides with the time when we came to this era … Could this be the reason?
He carefully looked at the sobbing David. Judging from this man's reaction, he did not look like he was lying, and everything that happened to him could be explained perfectly … But, something didn't feel right. Could it be that it was too perfect? So many things had happened to an honest farmer, and he could remember it so clearly? His operation was so methodical?
"I've already informed Emma, and she's on her way here," Bolivar Trask leaned over and whispered.
Tang Yu nodded approvingly, and said to David, "Well, Mr. David, from now on, you're Mr. Macrim. I'll help you solve your criminal record, and everything you said today must not be told to anyone! Next, you need to work hard. Those scenes are, after all, external things. If you want to live well in this world, you need more of your own. But, I'm optimistic about your development. I'll find you a psychiatrist and a tutor. As long as you work hard, you'll get everything you want. I'll give you an annual salary of 100,000 USD, with a 20-year contract, and the salary will be adjusted according to the inflation rate. In other words, you're rich, Mr. Macrim. "
"Really? 100,000 USD!! " David stood up excitedly. "You're too generous, Mr. Tang Yu. I don't even know how to thank you!!"
"No need. Just treat me to dinner at your house, how about that?" Tang Yu said with a smile.
"Of course! Of course! My wife's apple pie is delicious! "David nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
…
After a sumptuous family dinner, Tang Yu, Emma, and Trask walked out of David's house and boarded a luxury business car that had been waiting for them.
In the car, Tang Yu turned to Emma Frost and asked, "How is it? Did you notice anything wrong?"
Emma shook her head and said, "No, there are no flaws in their memories, and no traces of modification."
"Could it be hypnosis? Or hypnosis? "
"That's unlikely, because even if it's hypnosis, deep memories can't be erased. Plus, this family of three are ordinary people, so they don't have the ability to hide their minds, "Emma replied.
Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Then from tomorrow on, you'll be the psychiatrist and go to the office to chat with David every day. Also, when you have time, go to his house and interact with his family. Try to dig out their deep memories. If this person is really clean, then we can put him in an important position. "
"That's not a problem, but something happened in New York. Don't you need my help?" Emma asked.
