Chapter 245: An Amazing Secret

Although the alleys here are intricate, Lin Yu has probably figured it out after a few days, anyway, as long as he walks in one direction, he will definitely be able to reach his destination, so he won't get lost even at night.

At night, under the bright moonlight, the deep alleys become more and more silent. During the day, few people pass by, and at night there is no one left.

Lin Yu walked alone for a while, and he realized that it might be the wrong decision to go out for a walk, because there was nothing here at all, like a forgotten corner of the world. It is impossible to have fun here, it is better to go back and sit on the bed and play a few games of Glory of Kings, Lin Yu thought so in his heart, and was about to turn around and walk back, when he suddenly saw a different light coming from the front, which seemed to be mixed with some noisy human voices.

Lin Yu walked forward curiously, turned a corner, and saw a tavern appear in front of him, with a big wine word written on the red lantern hanging at the door.

Unexpectedly, there was a tavern here, Lin Yu was overjoyed, he stepped forward and found that the door of the tavern was closed, but there was a warm light inside, and various sounds mixed together came out.

Lin Yu guessed that the tavern should be a household name in this area, so it didn't need to open the door to do business like an ordinary store, and it didn't need to hang an eye-catching sign, and the acquaintances around it would naturally take the initiative to come to the door.

Lin Yu gently pushed open the door, and the light inside quickly leaked out through the crack in the door, there were no street lights in the alley, and Lin Yu had been walking in the moonlight, so at this moment, he felt that his eyes were much brighter all of a sudden.

As I expected, it was a small home-style tavern, not much larger than a bedroom, with a rectangular bar that took up most of the space, and all the customers inside sat around the bar, drinking and chatting with each other.

Lin Yu sat down next to several middle-aged men, who looked to be between forty and fifty years old, and the wine glasses in their hands were all transparent liquor.

Anyway, there is nowhere else to go, just sit here for a while, what did Lin Yu think in his heart, the proprietress saw that he was a little embarrassed, so she asked casually, "Young man, are you here to visit relatives?"

Lin Yu just nodded and didn't say anything, after all, he didn't know how to explain the relationship between himself and the old man. After a beer, I looked around this special space, which should be the only entertainment place in the alley, and the residents who live nearby can get together with a few old friends to relax with a drink after a day of work or farm work.

"You guys, have you heard about Grandma Sun?" On Lin Yu's right, a man's voice came, and there were already some signs of drunkenness on his face.

"Grandma, hasn't she been living alone for many years, what can happen to her?" another voice said.

"I've heard," the slightly drunken man deliberately lowered his voice, "Grandma Sun's savings seem to have been cheated out of by fraudsters." ”

"Ah, and this kind of thing, how much money did you cheat?" The other voice couldn't keep his composure, and his volume made it easy for Lin Yu to hear clearly.

Lin Yu realized that the grandmother they were discussing was the old man he was now a guest, and the fraudster in the other party's mouth also followed him to this tavern.

Lin Yu quietly pricked up his ears, he wanted to learn more information about the old man from these people, because the old man was hiding a lot of things from him at present, maybe he could find a breakthrough from these people.

"I heard that there are 300,000," the man gestured three fingers, and his face was completely unbelievable.

"That's 300,000 yuan? That should be the old man's life savings, can the police recover the money?" The other people seemed to have some relationship with the old man, so they were very worried about the old man's condition after hearing about this.

"Hey, don't mention it," the slightly drunk man waved his hand and drank the remaining liquor from the cup, "Grandma Sun still refuses to report the crime." ”

The other person showed an incomprehensible expression, "Grandma Sun is a literate person, she knows that she has been defrauded, she will definitely not swallow her anger, how can she not report the case to the police?"

"I didn't believe this, Grandma Sun used to be the editor of the newspaper, and the family conditions are the best in our area, I still remember when I was a child, as long as I went to her house to ask for snacks, Grandma Sun would definitely give a lot of them, but now, I don't know if it's old," the man refilled half a glass of wine in his wine glass, paused and said, "She insisted that she had not been scammed, and said that the call was from her son." ”

The other man sighed heavily, "It seems that Grandma Sun is a little delirious, and her son is probably dead for almost ten years..."

All the conversations came clearly into Lin Yu's ears, and when he thought that all he was getting was some useless information, the last sentence almost made the beer in Lin Yu's hand fall to the ground.

The old man's son has already died? Lin Yu turned his head, his eyes widened unconsciously, it turned out that the secret that the old man was hiding was so amazing, her son died ten years ago?

Everything seemed to have a reasonable explanation, the old man and her son had not been in contact for a long time, the old man was reluctant to report the case to the police, and when the police pointed out that the other party was a fraudster and not her son, she lay on the bed and shed muddy tears, the old man told the police that the voice was exactly the same as his son.

So when she went to Yangcheng, the old man didn't even think about finding her son, the places she wanted to go to were the People's Liberation Army Academy, Bayi Park, Whampoa Military Academy, and all the places her son had ever been.

The old man still retains all the memories of her son, even the redbud forest that his son likes to go to, and the old man wants to find clues about his son's life in these places, record them through his camera, and put those photos by his side in the future.

Maybe that voice was really exactly the same as her son, and the voice that had disappeared for ten years sounded in her ears again, so that the old man could be so obliged. The man pretending to be her son shouted the word mom, which probably made the old man's heart melt.

"Can you tell me more about Grandma Sun's son?" Lin Yu asked in a normal tone as much as possible.
