Back in the office, sitting in a chair, Qu Gang thought about what had just happened.

I originally wanted to wait for Chu Tianqi to find him today, but it was almost ten o'clock, but I didn't wait for the call. Qu Gang arrived at the director's office with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Although he was displeased, Qu Gang did not show it, but calmly chatted with the other party for a while, and then naturally asked about Chu Tianqi's vacation. What was a little unexpected was that Chu Tianqi did not make up some things to fool Qu Gang, but took the initiative to talk about exploring the tunnels at night, and also talked about the discoveries in the tunnels. What Qu Gang didn't expect was that Chu Tianqi also asked him to help analyze his doubts, but he actually told himself the secret.

Didn't he doubt himself, he still trusted himself, was he too careful?

"Ding Bang", the landline phone on the desk rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Qu Gang frowned, picked up the phone receiver and said, "What's the matter?"

A yin and yang voice immediately came out of the phone: "Brother Qu, isn't your mood high! How about it? The number one has not been summoned yet? Don't worry, you must have determination, people must meet one by one, and it may not be important to meet first." As the saying goes, 'the mouse pulls the wooden shovel, and the big head is behind', don't look at you now, that's because you are the most important, and it must be to give you more time to meet. You are the director's right-hand man, a big celebrity, it's just different, Brother Qu's future is limitless. ”

"Are you finished?" Qu Gang asked.

"Brother Qu, is the little brother wrong? You don't doubt people's trust in you, right? I think people didn't tell you at the first time, they must be worried about disturbing your vacation and disturbing your family reunion. Hey, I really envy you, people are so considerate and caring for you. I guess I haven't told you now, but I must have thought that you had just come back and were tired, and I wanted you to recover a little bit, and then I would tell you about it. Maybe by then, everyone will have done almost all the preliminary work, and you will just wait to get the ready-made one, and it will still be a credit. Speaking of this, the other party deliberately said pantothenic acid words, "People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away, it is really a heaven and an earth." You're a guest of honor and respectable in other people's places, and I'm a ball of soot kicked to the garbage heap. ”

Qu Gang was itchy by the root of his teeth, and laughed angrily: "Is it interesting to say these words?"

"Brother Qu, don't you understand it wrongly, do you? Brother, that's definitely not a backword. Besides, you can't doubt people's trust in you, you are a strong combination. Brothers work together, and their profits are gold, which is a true portrayal of the relationship between the two of you. The other party's voice was even more exaggerated, "Brother Qu, when you are developed, pull the younger brother, even if it is from the garbage heap to the stove pit." ”

Qu Gang snorted coldly, "Is it interesting for you to be so sarcastic about me? I have my own principles for doing things, and I just want to be worthy of my heart." I'll tell you that I've just returned from the Director, and the Director has told me everything, more than you've told you, and several important secrets. You guessed it right, the director was worried that it would affect my vacation, so if he hadn't told me earlier, it would have made me follow up on several things. When I say that, are you satisfied? Isn't it beyond your expectations?"

The other party was very surprised: "Brother Qu, were they really the ones who went to the mountain village to explore the tunnels at night that day? No, why didn't he tell you earlier, and he bought tickets in advance, and several people bought them? He did too much to cover his eyes, how did he feel like he was just hiding money from the company? If he really told you the secret, what secrets could he have? Eighty percent of you fooled me. ”

"If the plan can't keep up with the changes, how can people do tricks on me? As for the secret, I have no comment, this is not something that anyone can say. Qu Gang sneered, "Zhang Tianbiao, you still have to think about yourself." Soon your sick leave is over, do you want to continue pretending to be the rest of your life?"

"I ...... With all due respect, I have no comment, and I wish you continued promotion and wealth. The other party gritted his teeth and said this, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Qu Gang put down the telephone receiver and sighed: "Tianbiao, why bother? We are brothers, how can it be like this, have you changed, or have I changed? Why are you, hey......" Qu Gang shook his head and was silent halfway through the words.

On the afternoon of May 1, Qu Gang received a call from Zhang Tianbiao and was asked if he knew what had happened to Jucai Company. Zhang Tianbiao also said that people rumored that there were public security officers among the people who entered the tunnel. At that time, Qu Gang said that he didn't know, he hadn't heard of it. After Zhang Tianbiao heard this, he said "I don't believe it" on the surface, but in fact, he satirized Qu Gang in disguise, and the sarcasm Qu Gang was not trusted by Chu Tianqi. At that time, Qu Gang was a little annoyed, but said lightly, "The director will tell me when the time comes."

After receiving Zhang Tianbiao's call that day, Qu Gang also inquired about some people, and was also waiting for Chu Tianqi to tell him. But until yesterday, I didn't receive a call from Chu Tianqi in this regard, that is, Qu Gang contacted Chu Tianqi during this period, and Chu Tianqi didn't say whether to go home, let alone talk about it. Therefore, Qu Gang was a little annoyed, and continued to wait in the office for more than an hour today, and finally had to go to the director's room.

When he came out of the director's office, Qu Gang was in a better mood all of a sudden, and secretly said in his heart that he was lucky: fortunately, he didn't throw Chu Tianqi in the face. But as soon as he returned to his office, he received a call like Zhang Tianbiao, and his mood suddenly became bad again.

The sound of "ding" started again, and it was still a landline.

It must still be Zhang Tianbiao, and the kid is waiting to choke himself with words, but Qu Gang simply doesn't answer.

As soon as the bell rang, the room fell silent, and Qu Gang sighed.

"Ding-woo-woo", the landline rang again.

I didn't answer, Qu Gang stubbornly sat on the chair and smoked.

But the phone was even more stubborn, ringing three times in a row, and there was no intention of stopping.

Qu Gang picked up the microphone violently: "Is it over?"

A voice came from the phone: "Lao Qu, what do you mean? I don't answer the phone, my phone doesn't work, what do you want to do?"

It turned out that it was not Zhang Tianbiao. Qu Gang immediately changed his tone: "I'm sorry, ...... Ming"

The other party didn't listen to Qu Gang's explanation, but said directly: "You come once, you will come immediately." As soon as the words fell, there was a "click" sound of hanging up.

Qu Gang shook his head with a wry smile, and said to himself while getting up beside him: "Didn't turn on your phone?"

Sure enough, the phone screen was black, so Qu Gang turned on the phone and walked out of the house.

As soon as I arrived at the corridor, my phone rang again. Glancing at the caller ID, Qu Gang pressed the answer button: "What's the matter?...... I've got something to go out. In this case, you can just go directly to the director. With that, he hung up the phone.

……

Chu Tianqi was thinking about things while smoking, but there was a knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk".

Gathering his thoughts, Chu Tianqi said, "Come in."

The door opened, and Gao Qiang walked in. When he came to the desk, he took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it over: "Can you help me take a look?"

Chu Tianqi stretched out his hand and took it: "What? papers, reports?"

"No, it's the landline video, it's the landline phone that talked to Xiao Zhang. I've seen it many times, and I always think that the person is familiar, but I can't remember it. As he spoke, Gao Qiang sat down on the chair opposite.

Chu Tianqi plugged the USB drive into the computer host, and said while clicking the mouse, "Didn't you let you watch the old song? I just told you in the morning, you don't want people to find fault with it." ”

Gao Qiang replied, "I know." Before coming to you just now, I contacted him, and he said that he had something to go out and asked me to find you directly. ”

Chu Tianqi let out an "oh" and stared at the picture on the computer.

The picture is black and white, the upper left corner shows the time at 22:53 on April 1, and the picture shows a public telephone hall, which is the kind set up on the street with a telephone on both sides. On one side of the telephone hall, there is a tiled wall, and only part of the wall is there. In addition, there are no other scenes, and the whole picture is also static, if it is not for the time number that has been changing, I think it is just a video screenshot.

After about a minute, a figure appears in the frame. Looking at the time in the upper right corner, it is fifty-four minutes and forty-seven seconds. The man was dressed in a long dress that looked like a trench coat, with his collar upright, a large-brimmed baseball cap on his head, and a mask over his mouth.

The local temperature in early April is already equivalent to the weather in Yuchi County in early May. At that time, people had already taken off their heavy clothes and changed into thin, close-fitting clothes, with half-sleeves and large trousers for young people and skirts for girls. But this person is so tightly wrapped in a hot day, and what is even more ridiculous is that he is still wearing a pair of big sunglasses. Although Chu Tianqi was so slanderous in his heart, he didn't think so.

The people in the picture look around as they walk towards the telephone hall. Standing in front of the telephone hall and looking again, the man raised his right hand and gestured twice on the phone, obviously inserting a card into it. Soon, the man picked up the receiver and put it to his ear. The person's face is no longer visible in the picture, but it is blocked by the obstruction on the edge of the card phone, and only a little part of the back of the head can be seen. The time was fifty-five minutes and fifty-three seconds.

After a short time, another person appeared in the picture, a man with a fanny pack. The man was bald and hatless, and hurried to the vacant telephone on the other side and dialed the phone.

The previous man suddenly raised his head, walked away quickly, and came out of the surveillance screen. The man left the phone for fifty-eight minutes and twenty-one seconds.

Gao Qiang was already standing beside Chu Tianqi, pointing to the picture and saying, "This bald man left after less than a minute, and the next picture is from another time period, and no one has ever been here with this video missing in the middle." ”

Chu Tianqi nodded, and when he looked at the time on the screen again, it had become eleven thirteen.

Soon, the tightly wrapped person entered the screen, and after confirming that no one was around, he dialed the phone again. The person was very close to the phone during the entire call, with only the back of the head remaining in the frame. The call lasted from 11:13:57 to 11:31:06. After putting down the microphone, the man walked away quickly.

After watching the video twice, Chu Tianqi leaned back in the chair, clasped his hands around his chest, and said thoughtfully: "It's a little familiar." ”

Gao Qiang nodded: "I think so too." And I also looked closely, this person looked a bit like a woman when he walked, but when I zoomed in, the shoes on my feet should be about forty-two. So far, I can't tell if it's a man or a woman. ”

"Wait, I'll take a look. Chu Tianqi suddenly sat up and clicked on the picture again. After a while, he slapped the table and said, "It's him."

"Who?" asked Gao Qiang.

Chu Tianqi wrote a few words on the table with his hand, and then said, "Go and check immediately, on the night of April 1, he is not in Xuyuan County?"

Gao Qiang said worriedly: "Are you sure? Is it appropriate? In case ......?"

"If you are told to go, you will go, and you will think for yourself. As he spoke, Chu Tianqi waved his hand.
