Chapter 13 Part Five: Speculating on the Origin of Strange Events

That piece of paper was a form with Shensov's photo and the fingerprints of ten fingers on it. I put that form on the table: Everyone, all I can do now is to find him as much as possible. I think you don’t need to take any action until you really figure out his identity. It’s a mistake. Going back alone will not do you any good. The three Soviets stayed there for a while, thinking about it, they had no choice but to agree to my request, so they only thought about it for a while, and then agreed to my request. They all stood up, and I walked them out the door and watched them go. After listening to the words of the three of them, I have even more reasons to believe that Bu Lianchang, whom no one knows him at all, is the space pilot, Colonel Shensov.

But why are these two characters who have nothing to do with each other connected together?I suddenly had a very strange idea, the current Bu Lianchang is like a mixture of Shensuofu and Bu Lianchang, with the characteristics of both, or the characteristics of three people, and the other is the non-existent freighter Jixiang The other third officer was Bu Lianchang who insisted on his own identity. During this period, what strange things happened? I walked back into the study, sat at the desk, and kept thinking. Before I knew it, it was already midnight, I yawned, and when I was about to go to bed, the phone rang suddenly.

I picked up the phone, but there was no sound at all. I said hello seven or eight times in succession, but there was no response, so I angrily put down the phone.But not long after I put down the phone, the phone rang again. I picked up the phone again and said coldly: If you didn't mean to talk to me, then why did you call? I thought that the caller must be a guy who was so bored that he used the phone as a game tool, but as soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard Bu Lianchang's voice! As soon as I heard Bu Lianchang's voice, my whole body shook. Bu Lianchang said: I don't know what to say, Mr. Wei, I don't know what to say!

Bu Lianchang, I hurriedly called him: where are you? I have been sitting in the park, and now I am calling you from the telephone booth next to the park, Mr. Wei, I want to meet you. Well, I want to meet you too. I was waiting for you in front of the bench at the entrance of the park, and Bu Lianchang said: You must come! Of course, I will come, I must come, I put down the phone and left the house. When I came to the park, there were almost no people in the park, so I immediately saw Bu Lianchang sitting alone on a park bench. I ran over to him quickly, and he stood up too. He seemed to see the only family member. As soon as I arrived in front of him, he held my arm tightly. He said: You are here, you are finally here, alas, I am really afraid that you will not come.

I made him sit down first, and then I sat beside him. His voice was trembling: those two foreigners know me, Mr. Wei, but I don't know them. Who do they say I am?can you tell me? I looked at him, and for a moment, I didn't know where to start, and I was very conflicted in my heart. On the one hand, I believed that this person was Colonel Shensov.But on the other hand, I believe, he really doesn't know who he is.If a person suddenly does not know who he is, that is really a very common thing.Such a thing is called amnesia in medicine.Amnesia has been the subject of movies and novels countless times.

The situation of Bu Lianchang was very different. Not only did he not know who he was, but he firmly believed that he was someone else! Bu Lianchang looked at me anxiously, and I thought for a while before saying: They said, you are a military officer with the rank of colonel, and your job is a space pilot, responsible for major space missions! Bu Lianchang listened with his eyes wide open. After I finished speaking, I thought he must have expressed extreme surprise, but his reaction was beyond my expectation. He laughed: In that case, They must be mistaken, how could I be an astronaut? I stared at him: They also said that you are an excellent computer expert, Bu Lianchang, don't you think it's strange that you know how to operate a computer?

Bu Lianchang frowned, and after a while, he showed a dazed look: I don't think it's strange, because it's a natural thing for me. So, what about the scar on your shoulder?I asked again. Bu Lianchang was shocked: Then that may be a coincidence, I may not remember when I was injured. I said again: I have asked them for your fingerprints, no, it is the colonel's fingerprints! Bu Lianchang was not a fool either. As soon as he heard me mention fingerprints, he knew what I wanted fingerprints for. He opened his hands to look at them, and then clenched his fists again. In that instant, his expression became even uglier, and he said: If the fingerprints of Colonel Nashensov are the same as mine, what does that mean?

I said: You should also know what that means, that means you are Colonel Shensov! Bu Lianchang cried out like a moan: But I am Bu Lianchang, that Colonel Shensov, is he Chinese? No, he is from Central Asia. Don't you think that you are not completely Chinese?You look like a typical Central Asian Tatar! Bu Lianchang became angry: nonsense! I am not polite to him, because I have to force him to admit the facts, I said: If your fingerprints match those of Colonel Shensov, it is enough to prove your identity! Bu Lianchang screamed: It may be a coincidence! I sneered cruelly: There will not be so many coincidences in the world, the same face is a coincidence, the same scar on the shoulder is a coincidence, even the same fingerprint is a coincidence!

Bu Lianchang looked at me viciously: But tell me, if I am a Tatar, why can I speak Chinese and write Chinese characters?How did I get to know so many people I shouldn't? I can't answer his question, because that's the biggest question in my mind. I had no choice but to say: So, the best way for you is to accept the fingerprint test. If your fingerprints are fundamentally different from those of Colonel Shensov, then there will be no problem at all! Bu Lianchang said with a crying voice: But I know that the results of the inspection must be the same. I immediately asked: why do you think that?

Bu Lianchang said: I am used to it. Ever since I was rescued at sea, nothing has gone my way. As long as I think about something, it will definitely not become a reality, and what I fear most will become a reality. , just like I was afraid that my wife would not know me, but she really didn't know me in the end! I also sighed: Bu Lianchang, I sympathize with you very much, but I think you still have to print your fingerprints and Shensuofu's fingerprints to verify! He looked at me with a terrified expression: If it turns out that my fingerprints are the same as his, what should I do?

I stayed for a while, so I'll have to talk about it later! He loosened his hands, squeezed his fists again, and repeated several times: I accept your proposal, but now I don't want anyone to know where I am, and I won't go back with you either. I asked: why? He didn't answer my question directly, but said: I will call you and ask you about the result of the fingerprint verification.I don't want anyone to know where I am, just in case, if my fingerprints are really the same as Colonel Shinsov's, I can escape. What are you running from?I asked again. I don't want to be another person, I am Bu Lianchang, no matter how many people get mad and don't know me, I am still Bu Lianchang, I don't want to be another person!Bu Lianchang replied. I was silent for a moment, then took out a horny cigarette case, wiped the case first, then asked him to leave his fingerprints on the case, and then I carefully wrapped the case with a handkerchief. We stood up together and walked out of the park. When we parted at the gate of the park, I said: At twelve o'clock tomorrow morning, you call Guo's Detective Agency to find me. Bu Lianchang nodded, remembered the phone number I gave him, jumped into a street car and left. I stood in a daze for a while before returning home. That night, I could say that I didn't sleep well at all, and my heart was full of doubts. Early the next morning, I went to Xiao Guo's detective office. In his office, there are complete fingerprint inspection equipment, and there are several fingerprint experts. After I explained my purpose, Xiao Guo and several fingerprint experts immediately started to work. Checking fingerprints is really the simplest thing in modern detective techniques. It only took us 20 minutes to come to the conclusion that the fingerprints left on the cigarette packs were exactly the same as those of Colonel Shensov! After I knew this conclusion, I didn't express excessive surprise, because it can be said that it was what I expected. I had already expected that the fingerprints of the two of them would be the same, or in other words, I had expected that Bu Lianchang was Colonel Shensov. But after I knew the result, I still stayed for a while, because I didn't know how to tell the three Russians, and I didn't know how to tell Brainchang. If I tell the three Russians the results of the test, they will naturally believe that they have found Colonel Shensov, and will take Shensov back to the Soviet Union at all costs. And if I also told Bu Lianchang the truth about the test results, then Bu Lianchang would start to run away and never go back with the three Soviets. I lingered in Xiao Guo's office for a long time. Xiao Guo asked me frequently what happened, and I couldn't answer his questions. I didn't think of a way to deal with it until noon. However, Bu Lianchang's call , but already called on time. I held the phone receiver and took a deep breath. Bu Lianchang was already asking anxiously: How is it? I asked back: Where are you now? I can't tell you where it is, I ask you, what's the result, tell me quickly! I smiled wryly: Listen, you must tell me where you are, and I want to contact you. Bu Lianchang was stunned for a moment: I know, my fingerprints are the same as that person's, aren't they? I immediately said: You should face up to the facts, you are Colonel Shensov, you are him at all! Bu Lianchang murmured: I know, I already knew that there would be such a result! I hurriedly shouted: Don't think you can escape them, you I was only halfway through my words when there was a click, and Bu Lianchang had put down the phone. I was in a daze for a while. I didn't know where he was calling from. He obviously refused to listen to my advice and wanted to start his own business. That endless escape. While I was in a daze, the three Russians had already approached Xiao Guo's office. When they saw me, they didn't speak, but they saw their gloomy eyes and asked me questions. I put down the phone: You guys came just in time. I met him last night and got his fingerprints. The results of the fingerprint test were exactly the same. Where is he now?The Russian asked nervously. I don't know either. Last night, he said that he never wanted to become Colonel Shensov, and he wanted to escape. I think that although there is conclusive evidence that he is Colonel Shensov, something must happen to him. A very mysterious thing happened.In my opinion, even if you take him back, it is meaningless. nonsense!The head of the regiment became angry: he is a cunning traitor!He wanted to use this method to escape punishment. I hurriedly said: I don't think so. If he wants to escape punishment, he should go to the United States to seek political asylum. The expressions of the three Russians changed, but they didn't say anything. I said again: Now, although we have proved that he is Colonel Shensov, it is only a physical proof. What's the meaning?asked the Russian in a nasty voice. My mind was also very chaotic, but I still tried my best to sort out a clue in the chaos, I said: To determine who a person is, it is not his body that matters, but the memory in his brain. Now we have reason to believe that Colonel Shensov's mind has completely disappeared from his own memory, and replaced by someone else's memory, that is to say, he is another person, so what's the use of taking him back? The head of the regiment sneered: think about it, if we report it as you said, what will happen?Mr. Wei, don't be kidding! I said sternly: This is by no means a joke, this is an extremely strange thing that happens to people, you should face the reality squarely.But the three Russians refused to listen to me at all. He showed a look of displeasure: well, if you don't want to reveal his location, we can still find him! They left angrily, and I had no way to persuade them further, because the reason why Shensuofu was no longer Shensuofu was also very vague in my own mind, and I couldn't explain it clearly. Just now I have preliminarily clarified this concept without thinking carefully, which can be said to be very difficult.After they had gone, I stood still for a moment, trying to figure out how to make the matter clearer.This matter, to put it simply, can be finished in one sentence, that is: Shensov is no longer Shensov. However, that is a very difficult thing to accept. Shensov is Shensov, why is it not Shensov?Therefore, it should be further said that it was Shensov's body, but many memories of others entered Shensov's body, but Shensov's own memory disappeared. There are two ways to determine who a person is, one is to look at his appearance and check his fingerprints, and the other is based on the memory stored in his brain, that is, his thoughts. If the former method is used to decide, then there is no doubt that the person who was rescued on the sea with the crew of the auspicious freighter was the Soviet space pilot, Colonel Shensov. But if judged according to the second method, then he is not Shensuofu, not even Bu Lianchang, he is a brand new person, a sudden extra person! Under such circumstances, it is meaningless for the Soviet secret agents to insist on finding him back. But the current situation is that the head of the Soviet secret service must find him to go back, but he is desperately trying to escape. I couldn't help but sighed deeply. If it wasn't for Shensov's special status, things might not be so complicated.As for Shensov, if he wants to keep running away from the past, there is no way. The best thing is that I can convince the Soviet spy chief to let Shensov go. Soviet spies, no one knows, are the most stubborn things in the world, how can I convince them? It seems that it is almost impossible, unless I can find out the root cause of Shensov's memory change. When I thought of this, I couldn't help smiling bitterly, because I thought, I'm afraid no one in the world can explain this strange phenomenon.However, since I thought of it, I'm going to do it. I decided to go to a few famous psychologists and brain scientists to see if they can explain this strange thing. In the next three days, I was busy, running around, listening to opinions from all sides, and then made a synthesis based on my own opinions. During these three days, I always hoped to get Shensov's News, contact him again. However, there was no news of Shensuofu. He didn't call me, and I couldn't find him in a city with millions of people. On the fourth day, I had already told Shensuofu, After listening to opinions from all sides, I have a little concept. So I went to see the two Soviet spies. When they saw me, they looked extremely ugly. Their ugly faces made me laugh, and I must have also shown a look of wanting to laugh, so the regiment leader looked at me angrily: What's so funny? I quickly shook my head and said, "You two, I didn't come to quarrel. You haven't found Shensuofu yet, have you?" The two of them snorted and didn't speak. I said again: In the past few days, I have visited a lot of experts. Based on their opinions, I have a kind of opinion. I don’t know if you can accept it. I am not preventing you from looking for Shensov, but you should at least listen to it. explanation for this oddity. The attitude of the two Russians was still very cold. They looked at me coldly, and I ignored their attitude, because I knew that my words would definitely attract their attention from the very beginning. I said to myself: the human brain can emit a weak electric wave.Humans know very little about this kind of electric wave, which is only called brain wave, and it is still a blank in human science. The head of the regiment said angrily: What are you talking about? I smiled: Don't worry, wait for me to go on.You will know that everything I said has a great relationship with this matter! Another Russian exchanged a wink with the head of the regiment: "Okay, let's go on." I also said: Under certain circumstances, this kind of brain wave is emitted in an extremely strong way, so there is sometimes a wonderful phenomenon of spiritual communication between people. In this case, most of them are Occurs when life is at stake. The head of the regiment began to pay attention to my words, and he nodded in agreement. I said: Now, the matter is related to our protagonist. The protagonists of this incident can be divided into three groups, one group is Shensuofu, one group is Bu Lianchang, and the other group is the crew of the Jixiang. I paused and saw the two of them listening intently, and then I said: From now on, everything I have described is just a hypothesis, but that is the only hypothesis that can be provided.When Colonel Shensov discovered that the spaceship was out of control, he naturally realized that his life was at stake. At that time, his brain waves began to move abnormally. Over the Americas, at that time, there was a Chinese sailor named Bu Lianchang, who was fighting with someone somewhere, and was also on the verge of death. Bu Lianchang's brain waves were also in a very active state.We still have no way of knowing what kind of change happened. We have to assume that at that moment, Bu Lianchang's memory was absorbed by Shensov's brain through the abnormal activity of brain waves. Therefore, Shensov The original memory disappeared, replaced by Bu Lianchang's memory.That kind of situation can be roughly explained by listening to the radio and suddenly the sound of one station is interfered by another station. The two Russians looked at each other. I wasn't sure if my words would convince them, so I continued: At that time, Shensov was no longer Shensov, and the spaceship continued to fly forward. When it came to the sky over the South China Sea, he Jumped out of the spaceship, and it just so happened that the freighter "Auspicious" crashed, the crew members of the "Auspicious" and everyone's brain waves were undergoing extraordinary activities, so everyone's memory, under the same circumstances, was sporadic and progressed. So, after Shensuofu was rescued, he was familiar with everything about the crew of the Auspicious, thinking he was one of them, and he thought he was Bu Lianchang, and he remembered everything about Bu Lianchang's wife and children situation.Two, Colonel Shensov has disappeared from the world, and there is one more person who is no longer Shensov. What is the use of bringing this person back? The two Russians looked at each other, and I said again: Only this explanation can explain why Shensuofu can speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and understand everything he should not understand. He will give away your national defense secrets, because he knows nothing about the past, and will never remember it again! The regiment leader said: The reason you said may be very credible, but we can't report to Shangfeng. That's too simple, I said: You go back and say that this person is not Shensov at all, and that's fine. The two of them stayed for a long while before saying, "Let's think about it and get back to you tomorrow." I said goodbye and left, they were too nervous to even send me out.The next day, I got a notice from them that they had decided to give up the matter. I quickly published an advertisement in the newspaper, asking Shensuofu to contact me and tell him that everything was over. On the afternoon after the advertisement appeared in the newspaper, Shensuofu came to see me with a haggard look on his face. I explained the explanations to him again. After listening to him, he said: Maybe you are right. I like being Bu Lianchang, and I also love Caizhen! I patted him on the shoulder and advised him to work hard in my company, and the Russians never bothered him. That's the end of the matter. It's a comedy ending, isn't it?Bu Lianchang said he loved Caizhen, it was not false, he still often wandered around Caizhen’s residence, after a few months, he not only gained the favor of Aniu and Azhu’s two children, but also Caizhen, one day he Tell me that everything is ready to propose to Caizhen. Isn't it, it should be said that they have lived happily together since then! "One more" finished
