Zhao Liang stood in the hall drunk, as if time was frozen and everything stood still. Everything has become small, and there is only this music left between heaven and earth. It wasn't until the music stopped, the monks rushed out, the candles in the main hall were extinguished one by one, and everything was silent, and the two black-clothed people drove him out of the temple.

After that, he took off again, but on the way back, Zhao Liang felt that it was much faster than when he came. On the way, Zhao Liang tried to suppress his dizziness and asked who the two men in black were, why did they take him to that temple, and where was this temple located?

The man in black didn't answer all of Zhao Liang's questions, and only told him when he was about to arrive at Zhao Liang's small courtyard that the temple was on the back mountain of Zhongnan Mountain.

For this dream-like experience, Zhao Liang was extremely convinced, and sat for a whole day. Soon after his return, he did not communicate with the record company, left a letter of resignation, and ran to Zhongnan Mountain. Only then did I understand that when I arrived at the temple in the back mountain, the road was far away, not to mention that there was no road, so I had to rely on two legs to cross the mountains and mountains.

From early morning to dusk, Zhao Liang walked all the way and asked, and finally found the temple. Listening to the twilight drums in the temple again, the temple music chanting, the same majesty and magnificence, the same solemn concentration, he couldn't suppress the thought of staying, even if he completely broke with this world.

Zhao Liang quit the Qin Qi Band when he returned to Beijing, it was useless for anyone to persuade him, and he returned to Zhongnanshan to become a monk and take refuge without hesitation. The band that lacked Zhao Liang was soon terminated by the record company and fell silent.

In Mei Yujun's view, death, renunciation, drug-related, and seclusion are all isolated incidents in the rock circle, but there were too many appearances in that period of time, and they were all influential bands in the circle, which had a greater impact on rock music, and was also excessively amplified by public opinion, of course, the government's attitude and restrictions on rock music are also important reasons, in short, after that, rock music did not prosper for a few years, and then it declined, and now it is simply in a state of disintegration.

In Mei Yujun's soothing narration, Xiao Lei and I both looked at each other with indescribable surprise. If it is because of a series of accidental events, so that an industry sinks, this is not reasonable, but a large number of accidents occur in a concentrated manner, but can not be explained by chance, but what is hidden behind this? Fortunately, the lights in the bar are dim, and Mei Yujun did not notice our expression.

It is undeniable that with beautiful women as company, our alcohol consumption has increased dramatically, and perhaps this is the unspoken rule of bar management. By midnight we had finished drinking a dozen beers and six draft beers. Rao is Xiaolei has a good amount of alcohol, and he also started to shake when he came out of the bar.

Out of the tower, to the side of the Third Ring Road, the night is already dark. Xiao Lei bought two bottles of mineral water at a small shop on the street, and we lit a cigarette on the side of the road to relax our minds.

"Uncle Chang, I didn't expect Zhao Liang to encounter such a thing, but because of those monks in the temple who were incomplete in the five tones, I always felt that it was not very real. "As soon as I came out of the noisy environment, Xiao Lei didn't realize that he wanted to lower the volume, and he spoke so loudly that I was startled.

"Xiao Lei, although Zhao Liang and Lin'an Lao Han went to the temple for different purposes, they were all because of a certain belief, in fact, Lu Panzi, Xiao Rao, and Doctor Zhang were all like this, otherwise they would not be so easily persuaded by two strangers to go to those such illusory places. Looking at the sparse lights of the city, I thought to myself that if I met those two men in black, I would definitely follow them without their persuasion.

"So, the man in black is just to fulfill these people's dreams? That's really a spiritual life? But how does the man in black know about these people's dreams? I can't believe it. Xiao Lei shook his head and immediately followed.

"Uncle Chang, how do you check next? Let's go to Lu Panzi and Xiao Rao, and it is estimated that there will be no new progress. ”

"I'm trying to figure out if Lu Panzi can play drums or not. I turned my head again to look at the bar sign, which was almost hidden in the darkness, and it flickered so weakly in the deep darkness of the night.

The next day, I slept lazily, hurriedly picked up two mouthfuls of leftovers, went to Liulichang at three o'clock in the morning, and flipped through the old books in the ancient bookstore, especially some travelogues and local chronicles of literati in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but unfortunately there were not many new discoveries. In the evening, when it was dark, before he turned back to the small courtyard, the Cao team called.

On the other end of the phone was Team Cao's loud voice, which sounded like he was in a good mood, maybe there was really some progress.

"Chang, do you know which bottle is the best of the wine stored in your kitchen? Actually, you don't know about those stocks yet, it's a pity. ”

"Team Cao, you won't be idle, give me a call to relieve your boredom? Say, what's the progress? What kind of circle?"

"Chang, there is some progress, but you can first talk about your investigation in the past two days. ”

I gave Team Cao a rough overview of what I had seen and heard in the past two days. Team Cao listened very carefully, and after I finished speaking, he muttered for a long time before he said slowly: "Lao Chang, I think this gamble, my chances of winning are bigger." ”

After that, Team Cao's words made me realize that his judgment was still objective and fair.

In the past few days, Team Cao and Dajiang arranged for the portrait experts in the bureau to find Lu Panzi and Xiao Rao respectively, and carefully drew two portraits of their descriptions of the two men in black. After comparison, it can almost be concluded that Lu Panzi and Xiao Rao met the same two people, and the two men in black were either twins or brothers.

After that, Dajiang contacted the public security bureau in Handan, Hebei Province, and with their help, Huang Yanqiu, who had disappeared more than 20 years ago, should be able to arrive in Beijing later today, and he would also describe the two young people he met with the surname Gao, and then the experts drew them.

Cao hopes that through the investigation of all the parties involved in the disappearance, the general physical characteristics of the abductors will be confirmed, and the portraits will be obtained, which can be compared with the files of the local household registration departments on the one hand, and the video data of the two people can also be captured through the surveillance cameras around the accident site on the other hand. Once the identity of the Man in Black can be determined, all mysteries will be solved.

"Team Cao, your idea is good, but even if the men in black are a pair of twins, I am afraid that the whole country is in line with the age and physical characteristics, I am afraid that there are hundreds of thousands, such a search, you will not have results in a year and a half. "I interrupted the gushing Cao team and asked my question.

"Lao Chang, you're right, the general direction is set, the rest is intuition and luck, maybe just check a few places people to find it, right? ”

"How about it, Lao Chang, let's come to the bureau tomorrow to see the portrait? Don't lose and complain that the information is not shared, and it is not fair enough. ”

Early the next morning, Xiao Lei and I met in the bureau, and the Cao team came late, so Xiao Lei was busy fetching water and pouring tea for me. I sat down in Lei Xiao's seat and flipped through the files on the table.

Xiao Lei's seat is in the corner of a large open office of more than 100 square meters. The furniture is all twenty or thirty-year-old wooden tables and chairs, which creak at the slightest touch, and looking at the pile of half-meter-high data files on the table, as well as a bulky old-fashioned desktop computer, I am worried that the desk may fall over at any time.

However, there is also an advantage to such an office environment, there is no shelter between the desks, and even if you sit in the corner of the office, you can see the whole space unobstructed.

At this time, the number of police officers coming and going began to increase, and there were still ten minutes before the start of work. They got together in groups of three or five, talking about the cases in their hands, and also guessing the big cases that the bureau had just received, and it was inevitable that there would be a few words of gossip from the leaders, and when the Cao team could take Zeng Qian home seemed to be the most mentioned gossip, it seemed that Lu Panzi's matter was just the background of the Cao team's mother's wife, what Cao team kept watch at the mother-in-law's house all night, the wine that the Cao team sent to the old man was thrown out, and the Cao team was interviewed by the leaders of Zeng Qian's unit, etc., all kinds of things, which were eye-opening.

This made me smile and continue to look at Xiao Lei's work records in the past few days.

Rigorous and meticulous is the consistent work characteristic of Xiaolei over the years, which is reflected in the notes, that is, everything is analyzed. It seems to be a description of the clues one by one, but you can still feel that Xiao Lei is forming his own inclination towards the incident.

He firmly believes that there is a close connection between the Lu Panzi and Xiaorao cases and the previous Huang Yanqiu case, as well as the disappearances of engineers and teachers in Beijing. And the men in black do exist, the missing people must have some kind of special ability, and the people in black can only accomplish something with the help of their abilities.

In order to cover up the truth of this matter, the man in black used some kind of hallucinogen, which made the missing person completely forget what he had done, and even had the illusion of walking against the wind.

Of course, the matter of the man in black is very complicated, and it cannot be completed at one time, but the location spans most of China, from Lanzhou to Hunan and then to the easternmost Zhoushan Islands, so this matter is either related to some kind of celestial observation, or some kind of special feng shui survey, otherwise, what is the purpose of thousands of kilometers and thousands of kilometers?

I was looking at Xiao Lei's record with great interest, when I suddenly heard a vague conversation floating over from the distant conversation.

(There is no joy in the world? There is no one who can live? Now Xi is the basis of Xi for Xi, Xi avoids Xi, Xi is ridiculed, Xi is evil, the husband is the world, the noble, longevity and goodness; the happy, the body is good, the body is good, the clothes are beautiful, the voice is also lustful; the people who are under are poor and the lowly are evil; the people who are suffering, the body is not comfortable, the mouth is not thick, the shape is not beautiful, the eyes are not lustful, and the ears are not sound. If you can't, you will be very worried and afraid, and your form will also be foolish --Tao Te Ching)
