A person who drowned to death for more than ten days somewhere suddenly found me and knocked me out. No matter how I thought about it, I felt a little scared.

But if I think about it carefully, I don't think it's right. Even though I felt like my entire body was as cold as a dead person when that person was strangling me, he spoke. How could a corpse speak?

It wasn't that I didn't want to believe Pan Guowei, it was just that this fact was too bizarre, so bizarre that it was unbelievable. However, when Pan Guowei gave me the autopsy report, I was stunned.

The two most crucial points in the autopsy report were: One, the person did indeed drown; two, the time of death was at least ten days!

Pan Guowei said that the police had already done a comparison. Judging from the traces left on the scene and the injuries on my body, there was not a third person present. The wounds on my body were indeed caused by the deceased.

But why would a dead man who had been dead for more than ten days knock me out for no reason?

I suddenly remembered that the deceased said that they were looking for my grandfather. Could it be that there's something behind this matter with my grandfather?

Pan Guowei and I went to the morgue to see the dead man. He was a middle-aged man with a face full of age.

I fell into an extreme panic. Pan Guowei also warned me not to spread the news, otherwise it would make people panic. After all, people wouldn't believe it even if it was told. The only explanation is that there are ghosts in this world, but how can there be ghosts in this world?

Before he left, Pan suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, do you know what 353303376452 means?"

"What did you say?"

I didn't hear clearly for a moment. Pan Guowei pointed to my arm and said, "The wound on your hand was left by the deceased. It's carved with these numbers."

"Is there something wrong?"

I was instantly enraged. "What number are you carving on my hand for no reason?"

Pan Guowei took out a piece of A4 paper from his briefcase and handed it to me, "The reason he knocked you out should be to inscribe these numbers. After that, he collapsed in the alley.

I took the paper. On it was a printed photo of my arm. It was a picture of my arm, badly mutilated, but I could clearly see that the arm was carved with countless numbers. The total was 353303376452.

I thought about the dead body that told me to bring something to my grandfather. Was it this series of numbers? But what did this string of numbers mean?

After Pan Guowei left, the first thing I did was to call Grandfather's number, but the phone number showed that it wasn't in the service area. My heart started to race, and I called the Heaven Punisher Fourth Uncle again and told him everything that had happened.

Fourth Uncle Xing Sihai was his grandfather's last disciple. He was skinny, had sunken eyes and a hooked nose, giving people a feeling that he was very shrewd and sinister. The people in the circle called him Fourth Master Xing in front of him, and they always called him Cyan Faced Ghost behind his back.

I explained everything that happened in Fourth Uncle's shop without missing a single word. Fourth Uncle frowned and didn't say a word, his eyes sunk even deeper, and only after a long time did he say: "In our jade industry, there are too many strange things. You are still young and haven't experienced anything yet, so it isn't strange for dead people to block our way. "Bastard, tell me honestly, have you helped people spread the goods around the world recently?"

Ghosts are the jargon of our line, meaning the unknown stones that are dug up from the piles and graves of the dead. In general, only a few ghosts touch them, because they are very strange.

Furthermore, jade was used to nourishing jade. The jade that was dug out from a pile of dead people would usually be worn down by the dead before they died, thus they would be buried with Yin Qi.

I once saw the old man help people raise a piece of jade, which was also dug out from a pile of dead people. In the industry, people call it Yin Yang Jade, because the front of the jade was close to a corpse, while the back of the jade was facing the coffin, so the jade became Yin Yang, and after my grandfather nurtured the jade, he would expel the Yin Qi.

The water in the jade nurturing business is too deep. I'm not very interested in jade nurturing, so I'm not very clear about it.

I frowned and said to the Fourth Uncle, "Fourth Uncle, I'm not an inexperienced person either. Furthermore, I haven't helped anyone distribute the jade over this period of time, let alone getting rid of the pieces of jade."

The young head refers to the layman who does not understand jade, the red head is a woman, the white head is a man.

"That's strange?"

Fourth Uncle lit a cigarette, frowned and looked at the string of numbers, then suddenly asked: "You said that when that person knocked you out, he said that he was bringing some things to the old man, could it be that this was related to the old man?"

I nodded my head and suddenly asked, "Do you think this might have something to do with the Zimu Jade?"

Fourth Uncle shook his head: "For the time being, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Zimu Jade, but I'm not too sure either. I believe that as long as I can decipher what this string of numbers represents, I'll know."

Fourth Uncle told me to go back first. He got someone to study these numbers, and he felt that there was something behind this matter! He did not expect me to do this.

After such an incident, I didn't have the mood to return to the store. I stayed at home for a whole day to wait for the Fourth Uncle's results, but didn't expect a strange thing to happen again.

Pan Guowei called me and said that he found the family of the deceased and wanted me to go to the station.

I saw the wife of the deceased in the police station, a young woman in her thirties who opened a grocery store near the border between China and Myanmar. She was called Sis Xiang, and his husband was also called Xu Jun.

Although it was easy to cross the border between China and Myanmar, the border troops were very strict in their investigation. Some of the offenders would choose to find the snakehead to sneak across the river because they were familiar with the route, making it safer.

I have never gone to a sister before, let alone know a snakehead Xu Jun. What surprised me was that Pan Guowei had given me a list of names that Xu Jun had recently helped me to smuggle into the city. I casually glanced at it, and my eyes immediately widened.

In the first row of the stowaway list is my name!

I was confused at that moment, I don't even know Xu Jun, let alone sneaking in, and I didn't do anything to sneak in for no reason at all.

He especially asked for my travel records to prove that I didn't go out in half a year, but what surprised Pan Guowei and I was that Xu Jun's wife, Big Sis Xiang, actually knew me!

Elder sister Xiang pointed at me and said that I had lived in their home for three days and that Xu Jun had even brought out the evidence. It was a video taken from her phone, where a skinny young man hugged Xu Jun's shoulders and laughed in an extremely weird manner.

F * ck, the person in the video is actually me!

I was completely stunned, I just felt that it was too unreal. I don't even know Xu Jun, much less took a video with him.

Pan Guowei found a professional to verify the video, to prove that the video had not been edited is real, at that moment, I felt like I fell into an icehouse, pale as a sheet of paper.

The person in the video definitely isn't me, but his figure and appearance seems to be carved from the same mold as me. Could it be that there is another me in this world that is exactly the same as me?

I asked Sister Xiang if she knew where Xu Jun was taking the other one.

Sis Xiang shook her head, unable to explain. It seemed like she was going to take a boat out of the Salwin River, but she had no idea where she was going.

Upstream to the lower reaches of the Salvin River is just the right way to get to Burma by way of Riley's advice. It's a normal route of stowaway. Is there another way for me to get to Burma?

I became more and more confused, to Pan Guowei described my panic, Pan Guowei half believed in my words, but did not arrest me.

After leaving the police station, I immediately contacted the Fourth Uncle and told him about this matter. The Fourth Uncle didn't have a clue, and only wanted me to be careful as he was thinking of a way to unlock the digital code. He suspected that everything was related to the digital code, and as long as he could unlock the digital code, all of the problems would be easily solved!

When I went back home, I summarized everything that had happened, and felt that something was amiss. For now, I don't care why Xu Jun's corpse could still find me after dying for more than ten days, why did he want to carve the number on my arm and ask me to bring it back to the old man?

It's a pity that the old man's phone is off. I don't even know where he is.

As for that fellow who looked exactly like me, I felt that there was still some big secret behind it, and it must be connected to the old man. After unlocking the password, I should go and take a look at Xu Jun's home, maybe there will be more clues there!

The turning point for the matter came from two in the morning on the fourth day. I received a call from the Fourth Uncle and he excitedly told me that the number had been solved.

I hastily asked what was going on. Fourth Uncle was silent for a moment before asking: "Is the matter related to the Zimu Jade?"

I didn't think that it would involve the Zimu Jade, I wanted to ask more about it, but Fourth Uncle said that it was a serious matter, so I couldn't say it over the phone. He told me to hurry over to his place, he was also rushing home.

I have never heard Fourth Uncle's tone of voice that was so urgent, and even a little panicked. I didn't dare think too much, and hastily went out, but I didn't expect that something even stranger would happen!
