Chapter 566 Photos That Shouldn't Exist
"Wait a moment." Chi Kana got up, hurried to her Room, and after a moment, came out with a few sheets of drawing Paper, sat at the Table, and took out a Pen to start Drawing.
Chi Feichei understood Chi Kana's meaning, took a sheet of Paper, left the Living Room, also found a Pen, and started Drawing the Photo from his Memory.
More than ten minutes Afterwards, Chi Feichei entered the Kitchen.
Two sheets of Manuscript Paper were placed side by side on the Table, for comparison.
The length of each messy Wooden Strip nailed behind the Curtain was completely consistent, and the style of the desk and Chair next to the Curtain against the Wall was also completely consistent!
The only Difference was that on the Manuscript Paper drawn by Chi Feichei, there was a Man wearing a Black Robe, standing next to the desk, Reaching Out a Hand to pull the edge of the Black Robe, raising his Head to Gaze at the Lens, revealing Hands, Face, and Neck full of Scars, his Gaze calm and gloomy.
Speaking of Drawing, he was not a professional, But he understood the distribution of Human Bones and Muscle, had seen some Drawings in two lifetimes, and was not clumsy, so he could restore the general Situation.
Chi Feichei had never been to the Castle where Chi Kana lived in her Childhood, but the two Drawings were completely consistent, and it could basically be determined that the Photo was indeed taken in the Castle!
"This was when he was 15 years old... not long After Second Brother's Death..." Chi Kana murmured in a low voice, pointing to the Black Box on the Chair in Chi Feichei's Drawing, looking up at Chi Feichei, and said with certainty, "The Iron Box contains your Second Maternal Uncle's Belongings! He put it in the Room for a month before receiving it from other Places..."
Chi Feichei saw disbelief written in Chi Kana's Eyes, "This Photo..."
Chi Kana calmed down the surprise Emotion in her Heart, But still frowned, and said slowly, "This Photo should have been taken two years Before he was bedridden. Looking at the Angle, it's in his Room, on the Aisle near the Bed. The person taking the Photo is inside, and he is near the Door. But except for the Time when he was finally bedridden, apart from us siblings, Fourth Brother would not allow anyone to go to his Room. And at that Time, Second Brother should have already passed away. There was no Camera at Home, and neither Third Brother nor I have taken any Photos. And even when facing us, he would not casually reveal his Hands and Face, and other People would not be able to see them, let alone take Photos..."
"He is facing the Camera," Chi Feichei added, "This is not a candid shot. His Expression... although there are many Wounds and Wrinkles on his Face, I can be sure that from the Photo, he looks very calm and composed."
The Person in the Photo did not deliberately Reach Out his Hand to let People take a Photo of the Injury on the back of his Hand, but just raised his Hand to pull the edge of the Black Robe, and it was taken together. It was not a Posture specially posed to show off the Scar, his posture was calm, and his Expression was composed.
This shows that it was not a candid Photo.
But based on what His Mom said about his Fourth Uncle's Personality, he shouldn't have allowed anyone to run into his Room and take this Photo.
In the Kitchen, both Mother and Son were in Silence.
This was a Photo that should not exist.
"Click!"
The Water in the Hot Water Kettle boiled, and the indicator Light went out.
Chi Feichei Get Up to make Tea, "Could it be a Doctor or someone like that?"
"No, even if it was a Doctor, he wouldn't allow the other party to take Photos," Chi Kana recalled, "And at that Time, our Physical Examination was always done at a Regular Hospital, or at the Research Institute invested by the Family. Doctors would not appear at Home. At Home, only Butlers and Servants and other People moved around. Even Drivers and Gardeners could not enter the House. And he always avoided those People."
Chi Feichei poured Hot Water, thought for a while, "Someone he liked?"
Chi Kana was startled by Chi Feichei's wild idea, thought about it carefully, it wasn't impossible, But...
"At that Time, he didn't seem to have anyone he liked... But I'm not sure, because he often appeared and disappeared unpredictably, liked to hide in dark Places, and I couldn't always find him and follow him. So, maybe it was a Maid, or maybe a Male Servant..."
Hardcore x3!
Chi Feichei was stunned, "Does he have a Problem with his Sexuality?"
"Don't Know, so it's not ruled out," Chi Kana said with a serious Face, "He hardly speaks at ordinary Times, we don't have much Communication, and I don't Know what he likes."
Chi Feichei: "..."
Not ruled out?
What she Said makes sense, he couldn't even refute it.
"But, if it was someone he liked, he shouldn't have revealed his appearance even more..." Chi Kana frowned.
Chi Feichei poured two cups of Tea, and brought them to the Table, "Based on his Personality?"
"He should be very concerned about this," Chi Kana recalled, "But sometimes he doesn't seem to care that much. Unless Sunlight shines into the House, he won't wear Gloves. When he needs to Reach Out his Hand, he won't deliberately Cover-up the Traces on his Hands..."
"Then could it be a Photo taken by my Maternal Grandmother or my Maternal Grandfather?" Chi Feichei asked.
"No," Chi Kana said firmly, "Your Maternal Grandmother and Maternal Grandfather knew that he didn't like to show his Face and didn't like to take Photos, so they would never help him take Photos."
"What if there was an Important Purpose?" Chi Feichei asked again, "Must be taken, for remembrance, Family Album, or... some other Reason, needing to take a Photo."
Chi Kana pondered, without making a conclusion.
So there is this possibility?
"But the Attitude is wrong," Chi Feichei denied this guess himself again, "His appearance in the Photo doesn't look like he's facing his Parents."
In that Photo, his Fourth Uncle was too casual. The action of pulling the edge of the Black Robe was so casual that it didn't seem like he was facing his Parents, but rather peers or other People with a very good Relationship. Taking the Photo didn't seem to be for sending to anyone, just a Photo taken casually as a Daily Routine joke or casually.
Chi Kana frowned and thought, "I really can't think of who could have taken such a Photo, there shouldn't be such a Person..."
"You Said Before that Grandmother looked for Doctors, Researchers and other People, wanting to solve the Genetic Disease," Chi Feichei asked again, "When did it start? Why did it suddenly stop?"
"It started Before I was born. Your Maternal Grandmother invested in many Research Institutes, Hospitals, and pharmaceutical factories," Chi Kana recalled, "Your Second Maternal Uncle started around the age of seven, when the melanin synthesis in his Body began to have Problems. About a year Afterwards, your Third Maternal Uncle went blind. It was probably during that Time that your Maternal Grandmother discovered the Genetic Disease and started investing, uh... specifically... probably during the Time from 1950 to 1951."
Chi Feichei thought for a while, "Could visual impairment and blindness be caused by Albinism?"
"Maybe, But I'm not very clear about the Research results back then," Chi Kana frowned, "When I was 10 years old, because my Older Brothers had all passed away, the Experiment was terminated."
Chi Feichei Reached Out his Hand and Looked at it, "Grandmother is of mixed race?"
Chi Kana recalled for a moment, "She didn't like to mention things from the Past very much, But once when she met a wealthy businessman of mixed race, she Said that she was also of mixed race..."
Chi Feichei saw that the Curry Potato Chicken was almost stewed, Get Up to serve Rice, and while eating, continued to learn about the Situation from Chi Kana.
The skin color of him and Chi Kana was whiter than his Father or other People, maybe it was due to Genetic Disease or mixed race.
However, People of the Field Family should gradually lose some kind of Enzyme in their Bodies randomly as they grow up, without any Pattern, which may have some connection with Albinism. And interestingly, what Chi Kana knew was less than what The Boss knew.
Probably because Chi Kana was still young at that Time, and was not told much.
Around 1950 and 1951, his Maternal Grandmother invested in Medicine, Organism, and Medication Research.
In 1951, Karasuma Renya, at the age of 99, publicly announced his Death.
This Time point is very Subtle, is it possible that the two sides had an Intersection at that Time?
At that Time, his Eldest Uncle had already passed away, even if he hadn't, he would still be a 13-year-old Child, Second Maternal Uncle was 8 years old, Third Maternal Uncle was 5 years old, Fourth Uncle was 2 years old, his Mother was not yet born. The only People who probably knew the Answer were his Maternal Grandfather and Maternal Grandmother, But around the Time he was two years old, his Maternal Grandfather passed away, and his Maternal Grandmother also passed away not long Afterwards.
Now if he wants to Understand something, there is nowhere to ask.
Chi Kana Said that because his Uncles passed away one after another, and she didn't have any Problems, the Research stopped in 1967.
There are many mysteries.
Did the Research that lasted for sixteen years back then really make no progress at all?
Did his Maternal Grandmother really give up on the Research?
Did the Field Family have Partners when investing in Research? Is it related to The Boss?
Could it be that some Researchers told The Boss about his Family Matters?
Also, who is the Person who could make his Fourth Uncle take that Photo?
His Maternal Grandmother obviously knew who her Parents were, knew her own background, why didn't she tell her youngest Daughter? And why was she looking for People with Purple Eyes everywhere, to confirm if they were Relatives?
What exactly was his Maternal Grandmother looking for?
His Maternal Grandmother was taken back from Japan and adopted by the Old Baron when she was in her teens. Before that, where did his Maternal Grandmother come from? Who were her Parents?
He didn't even know whether the root cause of the Genetic Disease was his Maternal Grandmother's congenital Gene Defect or acquired Genetic Mutation.
Chi Feichei ate Rice while listening to Chi Kana, sorting out his Clues.
The Boss attempted to use Means targeting Genes to control him. That kind of Means could indeed Impact his Emotion. Could it be that some Data left over from the Research on Genetic Disease back then made The Boss see some possibilities?
The control Means were extended based on the Genetic Disease Research. In addition, The Boss also needed his Blood and Physical Examination Report to do something.
The Boss has always believed that he 'has something wrong', and after discovering that there were many Antibodies in his Blood, he has also been Researching...
The Organization's Purpose is 'to reverse the torrent of Time', and the Field Family's Purpose is to cure Genetic Disease. The two seem to have no connection, But they both involve Organism, Human Body, and Medicine. In addition, given The Boss's Knowledge of the Field Family, the two sides may really have some Relationship.
"...After you were born, I also wanted to invest in one or two Research Institutes, specially for Researching Genetic Disease," Chi Kana Said, "But at that Time, your Physical Examination Report showed that you were very healthy, and so was I. Medical experts Said that if there was no Illness at all, how could we Research Illness? Just like back then, every Child was very healthy when they were born, But Problems would slowly appear..."
"Please rest assured, I haven't had any Problems so far," Chi Feichei comforted her, and then Said, "Don't overthink about what we talked about today, don't investigate, and don't tell anyone else. Just pretend you don't Know anything. Leave everything to me. I have my own Intention. If I can get an Answer, I will tell you again."
Chi Kana hesitated for a moment, But still Nodded with a Smile, "Okay..."
Thank Patron [Crazy Brandy], the eighth Patron, there will be an extra Chapter update in the Night.
Thank.
