The director of the street office said a few kind words to him, and then led the team back. Before they left, Li Rui asked for the simple notes they had made.

After everyone left, Shen Yuanzhu asked with a bitter face: "What should I do next?" Li Rui sighed bitterly and said: "I don't know what to do, if this road can't be taken, then we have no way out, I will go back empty-handed to meet Huang Lao, if that's the case, I don't need him to say anything, I will laugh at myself for being incompetent." Shen Yuanzhu clicked his lips and said lonely: "This road is not over yet, isn't there another clue, the first family surnamed Sun in the alley, let's find his master and ask him who the owner of the house is." If you look for it layer by layer, you may be able to locate the Su family. ”

Li Rui shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "I also thought of this idea, but we can go up to one layer at most, that is, the Sun family, and then go up, the age is too old, and it is estimated that the old people who know about that layer have already passed away." Shen Yuanzhu said nonchalantly: "Then find the Sun family first, isn't there no better way now?" and unwilling to give up, then it can only be like this." Li Rui looked at the dozen or so pages of scribbled handwriting in his hand, nodded, and said, "Okay, then continue!"

The helper who asked the Sun family before was quite careful, and he deliberately asked the insider more, asked the name of one of the Sun family, and wrote it down on a piece of paper, so that Li Rui could find out and contact him. So Li Rui and Shen Yuanzhu now have clues to follow, just need to find a man named "Sun Zhenyu" in Shinan District, and even narrow the scope of household registration to the "Family Building of the Municipal Electric Power Bureau" again.

How to operate, Li Rui and Shen Yuanzhu have their own opinions. Li Rui wanted to go directly to the family building of the Municipal Electric Power Bureau and ask the property if there was such a person, while Shen Yuanzhu wanted to go back to the household registration office of the Municipal Bureau, find Sun Zhenyu's residential address from the household registration management system, and then find it by the way. In comparison, Li Rui's is fast, but there is a risk of not finding it; although Shen Yuanzhu's is a little troublesome, he can accurately locate the target person. In the end, Li Rui listened to Shen Yuanzhu's opinion, drove directly back to the city bureau, and entered the intranet system for inquiry.

On the way, Shen Yuanzhu suddenly had a brain-opening thought: "You say, Sun Zhenyu's lineage, will it be Su Yun's grandson or even great-grandson?" Li Rui was stunned, slapped his thigh suddenly, and shouted: "Oh, why didn't I think of this possibility? Su Yun can't wait for Huang Lao, so he will naturally marry, maybe he will marry someone surnamed Sun, and the ancestral house of the Su family will be left to her husband to inherit." Heck, it's better to be like this, and if so, we'll save you trouble. Shen Yuanzhu looked at him and sneered: "But it will save trouble?" What's the matter, are you troublesome or tired?"

When Li Rui heard her say this, he remembered that Huang Lao treated him sincerely and generously, and he was secretly ashamed in his heart, and he didn't say anything again, secretly swearing that this time he was tired and broke his leg, and he would also help Huang Lao find Su Yun's whereabouts.

The next time was a lot of busy work, plus running around, until six o'clock in the evening, when the sky was dark, Li Rui and Shen Yuanzhu finally found the "legendary" Sun Zhenyu in the office of the Municipal Electric Power Bureau.

According to the current age group, Sun Zhenyu can barely be said to be a young man, five or six years older than Li Rui, thirty-five or sixteen years old, stout, dark complexion, and more special is a pair of black and heavy eyebrows, looking very stable and serious, this person is now the deputy director of the office of the Municipal Electric Power Bureau, and he is also a deputy section-level cadre.

After hearing Li Rui's intentions, Sun Zhenyu frowned and said: "Oh, you ask who the owner of the last household in our hometown (that is, the first one in Dahuaishu Hutong) is, I don't know, when we moved there, I was only six or seven years old, what do you say I can remember? Besides, I haven't seen the previous house, and my dad hasn't told me." I really want to help you, but I really can't...... By the way, why don't you come home with me and ask my dad, he should know, well, he must know, he must know, he bought the house, he must know. ”

Li Rui and Shen Yuanzhu glanced at each other, and they both thought, it seems that the Sun family can't be the descendants of Su Yun's husband's lineage, didn't you hear it, what Sun Zhenyu said was "the house was bought".

Li Rui said: "Okay, then I have to go home with you and ask Ling Zun for advice, I'm really causing you trouble." ”

Sun Zhenyu said with a smile, "Don't bother, don't bother, then let's go, I'll show you the way, you can drive......"

Twenty minutes later, Li Rui, Shen Yuanzhu and Sun Zhenyu rushed to their home in the family building of the Municipal Electric Power Bureau and met the old man of the Sun family.

Sun Zhenyu carefully explained Li Rui's intention to his father, and when the old man of the Sun family heard this, he frowned and raised his head for a while, and finally said: "I remember, the surname of the master of the last family is ...... Surname Wang ......"

When Li Rui and Shen Yuanzhu heard this, they both had the heart to die, and when they looked at each other, they were both grief-stricken. This means that there is one more fork in the road, and it is likely that it will also lead to a dead end.

Li Rui said: "Uncle Sun, do you still remember the details of the Wang family, such as the names of the Wang family's children, and how many years his family lived in the big locust tree alley before?"

The old man of the Sun family frowned and thought about it, shook his head and said, "The children of the Wang family have never seen it, and I don't know how many years they have lived there......"

Li Rui sighed in his heart, knowing that this road had come to an end, and there was no more hope, his heart was heavy and very uncomfortable.

That night, Li Rui didn't get any valuable clues from Sun's house, so he left Sun's house with Shen Yuanzhu full of loss, found a random restaurant to eat outside, and went home to rest after eating. After running around all day, I am as tired as a dog, and I must rest well, otherwise I will be out of energy tomorrow.

When he returned home, Li Rui had nothing to do, so he told Qingman about today's itinerary and discoveries, the original intention was to complain to her, relieve her depression, and then clean up her mood and continue to look for new possibilities tomorrow, who knew that Qingman had new insights after hearing it.

She frowned and said: "I don't think it's wrong for you to look for the aborigines of Da Locu Shu Hutong, but you have overlooked one point, that is, you must look for the aborigines who have lived in Da Locust Hutong for generations, and must be old people." Only those who have lived in the hutongs for generations know the history of the Su family's changes, and only the elderly can have intersections with the Su family and show history to you. ”

Li Rui was stunned when he heard this, and silently thought about the point of her words in his heart.

Qingman continued: "This point, you must not emphasize the helpers who helped with the investigation, they naturally will not pay attention, the result is likely to be: when they investigated, they only asked the other party to live in the big locust tree alley, no matter whether the other party is old or young, young people, naturally do not know anything, and ask in vain......

Li Rui listened to her broken and crumpled explanation, and had fully comprehended her words, only to feel like an initiation, a new window opened in his mind, ecstatic, rushed over and hugged her in his arms, kissed her on the face, and praised: "Good wife, you are really Bingxue and extremely smart, you are really my good wife, I love you to death...... Tsk, such a simple truth, I didn't expect that I would be conceited and smart and cautious, oops, what a shame......"

Lu Qingman hurriedly pushed him with his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Oh, don't make trouble, let me go, don't touch the child!"

At night, Li Rui had a dream, in which a gray-haired old lady stood in the night, leaving him only a back, and said in an old and weak tone: "Everyone in the world is bitter, all love is evil, and those who are in love can not fall into ......."

Li Rui woke up in the morning, recalled this dream, and his heart moved, could it be that the old lady was Su Yun, she already knew that she was getting closer and closer to her, so she warned her dream?

After eating, Li Rui called Shen Yuanzhu and asked her to meet at the gate of Xinyuan Community, and then took a taxi to rush over.

After meeting, Shen Yuanzhu said curiously: "Why are you here again? Don't tell me, you plan to dig three feet into the ground, hehe, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you won't be able to find the big locust tree alley." Li Rui looked down at the ground under his feet, but inadvertently glanced at the flesh-colored stockings wrapped around her feet, stared at her for a few moments, looked up at her and smiled slightly, and said, "I found that we ignored a very important point yesterday afternoon, which caused our helpers to find the wrong target for help." Shen Yuanzhu became more and more strange and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Rui told Qingman's words last night. Shen Yuanzhu was shocked after hearing this: "Oh, it makes sense, why didn't I think of it." Li Rui smiled: "So, let's visit again this morning." But fortunately, yesterday those helpers have written down the addresses of the aborigines of Dahuashu Hutong, let's follow the map and find them one by one, there are only six in total, and it doesn't take much time. Shen Yuanzhu nodded happily: "Then let's go together, don't separate, I'm not comfortable separating, hehe." ”

So the two went together to find the aborigines of the six big locust tree alleys. Although there were only six of them, it took nearly an hour to walk through them all. The hard work paid off, and the two really found a qualified old man: she is 90 years old this year, and she has been living there since she married her husband in Dahuaishu Hutong at the age of 17 until the Hutong was demolished and moved into the Xinyuan community built on the original site. Her husband's family has lived in Dahuashu Hutong for generations, and can be regarded as the purest aborigines.

The old man is in good health, although he has reached the age of mackerel, he is still not dazzled or deaf, and he has no problem walking, and he does not need to be supported, but he walks slowly. Of course, if you are not deaf or not, hearing loss is still very serious. When Li Rui asked her, he often had to speak loudly and repeat it two or three times.
