Zhang Ke took a taxi back to Xiangshan Forest Park, retrieved the printed photos and film from the printing shop, and then drove back to the city.

Zhang Zhixing sat on the sofa with a gloomy face: "Where have you been all day?" ”

Zhang Ke stood at the door, thinking: No wonder Dad is angry. got Ye Xinming's message that Tang Xueqian wanted him to go out and avoid it, and the idea of leaving and staying has been struggling in his father's mind. The news of my uncle's death this afternoon should have come from my hometown, which gave my father an excuse to leave Haizhou, and he was missing at this time, no wonder he had a fire in his stomach.

"Uncle and grandpa left today, our family is going back to Dongshe to hold a funeral for your uncle and grandfather, you haven't been home for a day, where have you gone?" Liang Gezhen stood behind her husband, waited for most of the day, and didn't see her home for dinner at noon, and her classmates' phones were all over the place, and she was almost going to call the police.

Zhang Ke stood at the door and pouted, looked at his father with a gloomy face, and said, "Why do you want to leave Haizhou, don't you want to take care of Uncle Tang's affairs?" ”

"What about Uncle Tang?" Zhang Zhixing made Zhang Ke's words a little confusing, "Why did you say these inexplicable words as soon as you came back?" ”

Zhang Ke didn't have time to slowly uncover the truth like a guessing game, and he didn't care if this was what his sixteen-year-old should say: "Didn't Uncle Tang give quarantine review?" Dad is afraid that the provincial inspection team will ask you to be investigated next. Others say that Uncle Tang has a problem, but if you insist that Uncle Tang has no problem, others will not tolerate you; But if you pour sewage on Uncle Tang with a clear conscience, you will have a troubled conscience for the rest of your life. What to do? It's good to be able to leave this place of right and wrong, even if there is no Secretary Ye to talk to, Dad will go to the East Society to avoid it......"

"Who taught you that?" Zhang Zhixing was like a cat that stepped on its tail, and he didn't expect that these words were still spoken by his sixteen-year-old son.

"Who taught me that? Over the years, these things have happened in my family, and these people who have been sent to me have seen a lot, and I naturally understand, do I need someone else to teach me? Zhang Ke couldn't care about what he said, he had to sting his father and sober up all of a sudden, "Uncle died, isn't it the third day of the funeral, we are in such a hurry to rush back, what will the cousin think?" ”

Zhang Ke saw that his father's face gradually became iron-blue, lest he lose control of his emotions for a while, and use himself as a human sandbag to vent, seeing that he had signs of seizures, he hid in his room first, and speculated in his heart what effect the words just now would have in his father's heart, and his ears were close to the door, eavesdropping on the conversation outside.

"Xiao Ke is right, you have been hesitating and hesitating these days, aren't these concerns?"

"Is that what a kid his age would say?"

"How is it not like that? Xiao Ke's temperament is with you, precocious and precocious, although he has been a stuffy gourd since he was a child, no one else knows what he thinks in his heart. ”

"You know that I went to the city with Tang Xueqian from the teacher's college, if I poured dirty water on Tang Xueqian, he couldn't wash it off, I was afraid that someone would know about my relationship with Tang Xueqian and instigate Xiao Ke to talk nonsense."

"If your son still can't believe it, who will you believe? The son is bored, he has a lot of eyes, he is sixteen years old, who can instigate him? You have to worry, just call your son out and ask if you can't get it......"

"You go and call him ......"

"No one told me what to say," Zhang Ke stood behind the door and heard this, walked out of the house by himself, and handed the photo of Tang Xueqian and Xu Si to his father, "Is it saying that Uncle Tang has that relationship with this woman?" ”

Zhang Zhixing almost jumped up, took the photo tremblingly, and stared at his son with an incredible look: "Where did you get this photo?" ”

"Don't worry where I got this photo from, the provincial inspection team will soon see similar photos," Zhang Ke said calmly: "If Uncle Tang's charge of accepting bribes is confirmed, Dad, will it make people think that you are deliberately evading the investigation of the provincial investigation team when you leave Haizhou at this time......

Zhang Zhixing was shocked into a cold sweat, these days he only thinks about escaping, but he doesn't think about deeper problems, and he wants his sixteen-year-old son to help him break a word. He has been in the circle for seven or eight years, and he is very clear about the rules inside, even if he has no problems at that time, he can't keep others from throwing sewage on him, although the position of the deputy secretary general is not prominent, but there are still some people staring at it.

But is this what a sixteen-year-old says? However, Liang Gezhen longed that her son was the best and smartest teenager in the world, but she didn't think there was anything too abnormal, and even felt that her husband was making a fuss, but she also felt that it was too strange for this photo to fall into her son's hands, and asked him: "Where did this photo come from?" ”

Zhang Ke knew that his words and deeds would cause a great shock to his father, and if he didn't speak thoroughly at this time, he would delay the opportunity: "Dad has been with Uncle Tang for so many years, why does Uncle Tang still distrust Dad so much, and let Secretary Ye take the word to let Dad leave Haizhou to avoid it?" ”

"What else do you know?" Zhang Zhixing didn't know why his son suddenly said these words inexplicably, but he did point out the doubts in his heart, but he couldn't see through or guess through, in the city government, everyone knew that he was in the city with Tang Xueqian, and they all gloated and avoided themselves, and they couldn't get any news.

Zhang Ke saw his father sitting on his lap and knew that he was beginning to face his words.

Of course, Zhang Ke would not be stupid enough to say that he knew what happened five years later, he wanted to tell the truth, and he had to make up reasons to convince his father. Zhang Ke thought about this reason on the way home: "This woman," Zhang Ke pointed to Xu Si in the photo, "I once saw her in the back mountain of Xiangshan, and not long ago, outside a villa in the back mountain, I saw her with a man, but not Uncle Tang, but a person that everyone would never imagine......"

"Who is it?"

"You don't care who it is," Zhang Ke still thought about making the lie come true first, "Yesterday I heard my mother say that Uncle Tang had that kind of relationship with this woman, I wondered in my heart, I went to the back mountain of Xiangshan early in the morning, and sure enough, I saw this man in that villa again......"

Zhang Ke took out the photos taken in front of the red brick villa at the northern foot of the mountain today: "I asked the camera rented in the forest park, and the effect was okay, who do you look like?" ”

In the first photo, a black Nissan is driving into a red brick villa; The second photo is Ding Xiangshan's short body into the Nissan car, although it is not Ding Xiangshan's No. 1 car, but it is the license plate of the municipal party committee, the red corolla car is parked next to it, Ding Xiangshan's head is not photographed, but Zhang Ke believes that his father can recognize him at a glance; The third photo shows the red corolla car driving out of the red brick villa, and this red corolla appears in the background of the photo of Tang Xueqian and Xu Si. Although the light in the forest is dim and there is no flash, the shooting effect is not bad, and the shooting time is shown in the lower right corner.

Zhang Ke believes that if he stuffs two eggs into his father's mouth at this time, he will not be conscious.

"After taking the photo, I went to the printing shop in Shannan to print the film, but I didn't expect to meet this woman who was also there to take the photo, in the photo she took from the printing shop, there was a photo of her and Uncle Tang, I took one while she didn't care," Zhang Ke picked up the photo of Tang Xueqian and Xu Si, "It's this ......"

Dad's brain is not stupid, I believe that he will soon be able to think clearly about the cause and effect, Zhang Ke rubbed his hands and asked his mother: "I haven't eaten yet, I'm dying of hunger......"

"How did you know you were going to take these pictures?" Liang Gezhen put his arm around his son's shoulders and pushed him into the kitchen together, "Don't get in the way of your father...... You didn't come back, and we didn't have the heart to eat, so come with me to make noodles and make up for it with two eggs......"

"Xiao Ke......" As soon as Zhang Ke went to the kitchen with his mother, his father called him in the living room, "You tell me carefully what you saw today." ”

Zhang Ke didn't know how deep Xu Si was trapped, but he was afraid that he would have to find another way, so he couldn't tell everything about himself and Xu Si, and only told what happened in the morning.

"Why Ding Xiangshan?"

Zhang Ke heard his father talk to himself and said Ding Xiangshan's name, knowing that he had guessed part of the truth.

The province received the report, and sent an inspection team to investigate before obtaining substantive evidence, pointing the finger at Tang Xueqian, implementing isolation and review, and at the right time, Haizhou made so many things unfavorable to Tang Xueqian, there must be a strong person at work in this, and my father also knew this, but I didn't know who it was and why it was like this.

"What is the relationship between Uncle Tang and this woman, this group photo looks quite ambiguous?"

"I don't know," Zhang Zhixing sighed, "You are still young, you don't understand things between men and women very well, and there are some things, I'm afraid that Tang Xueqian himself can't say clearly......"

"I know, if Uncle Tang really understood, there would be no such photos......"

"Oh...... Where did you learn all this? Zhang Zhixing stretched out his hand and touched the back of Zhang Ke's head, "Today's children are really incomprehensible." ”

Zhang Ke smiled, seeing that his father's face was no longer gloomy when he first came back, he knew that he would not talk about the doubts in his heart to discuss with himself, or wait for things to happen step by step, and it would not be too late to remind his father little by little, maybe Dad had already grasped the key issue in his heart.

Liang Gezhen brought out the good noodles, Zhang Zhixing picked up the bowl, and the wind swept into the stomach, and the bowl of noodles was poured into his stomach in two or three clicks.

Zhang Ke was afraid of being hot, a bowl of noodles was just less than a third of his stomach, and when he saw his father stretching out his chopsticks to scoop up the noodles in his bowl, he hurriedly jumped out and avoided: "I haven't eaten for a day, this bowl of noodles is not enough for me to eat......"

"I just came back and I can't wait to eat people," Liang Gezhen put the noodles in his bowl into her husband's bowl, "It's like a chicken grabbing food at this time, you two eat first, and I'll go and order some noodles......"

"No," Zhang Zhixing stopped his wife, "You go out to buy food, you have to pick a good one, and when you come back, it's best to let the people in the yard see it, these days, the people in the yard see me as a lost dog, and they are all waiting to see my good show, no matter whether Tang Xueqian's affairs have taken a turn for the better, but now I can't follow the wishes ......of these people."

"What are you fighting for at this time?" Liang Gezhen was a little puzzled.

"Mom, this isn't a fight for any will, water dogs, everyone is willing to fight......" Zhang Ke said next to him, "The more frustrated you are, the more you can't let others look down on you, especially in this yard, who is waiting for the opportunity to step on others and knock others with a stick?" ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Zhixing laughed, and hit his chopsticks to knock his son's head, "Who are the water dogs?" He urged his wife again, "You can't see Xiao Ke clearly, go quickly, go quickly......"

Liang Gezhen saw that her husband had completely put down his thoughts, and asked reassuringly: "You have figured it out?" ”

"Xiao Ke's words reminded me, Tang Xueqian can trust Ye Xinming, why can't he trust me? Tang Xueqian really has something unsightly, and his full-time secretary Ye Xinming knows the details. Ye Xinming helped Tang Xueqian to talk, it may be a pit, I can't jump in in the dark......"

"So what do you do, what can these photos do?"

"Maybe it won't work, maybe it can make a big difference......," Zhang Zhixing said vaguely, "Don't they want me to leave Haizhou, when I get to Dongshe tomorrow, I will know if these photos can work." ”

Liang Gezhen couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter, you still have to go back to Dongshe?" ”

"Of course I want to go back to Dongshe, I have asked Zhou Fuming for leave, I can't say that if I don't leave, I won't leave, that would be bad, and everyone will avoid me like a plague, even if I stay in the city, it's useless," Zhang Zhixing drank wine, his cheeks flushed, "But not our family will go back to Dongshe, I will go back to Dongshe with Xiao Ke, you stay and see how things will develop, even if it is hearsay, you can know some news, we have made an appointment to call a few more times a day, and it is convenient to come back if there is something." ”
