Just when You Fang listened to Wu Lao's persuasion to go home for the New Year, Mr. Wu Pingdong himself ran away from home! Hearing this news, You Fang's whole person was almost stupid.

The public news is that Wu Pingdong has retired, but as long as his health still allows, retirement is just a procedure, and he will generally continue to be rehired to engage in teaching and research. Wu Lao has loved teaching and research all his life, how could he suddenly give up? You Fang inquired about the fact that Wu Lao was not in good health, so he applied for retirement and left Yanjing before the new semester.

Wu Lao's health is indeed not good, but there is no sign of weakness in his speech and demeanor in his daily life, he had a major operation three years ago, and he has hardly been hospitalized again. From the perspective of physiognomy, You Fang has always felt that Wu Lao's complexion is not good, and he has persuaded him to go to the hospital for a detailed examination many times, but Wu Lao just smiled bitterly and did not answer, could it be that this time the old disease has relapsed?

Wu Lao really resigned on the grounds of the recurrence of his old illness, and declared that he wanted to visit the great mountains and rivers and scenic spots in various places to cultivate his feelings and refresh his mind. Before leaving, he also joked to a few colleagues that he was so single that he could find a new wife and start a romantic sunset love.

Recuperating in a beautiful place is indeed more beneficial to the body and mind, and if he really has a twilight encounter with the old man, it is also a happy event in life. But You Fang felt very unsteady in his heart, because Wu Lao couldn't be contacted, and no one knew where he went. What should I do if something happened to this old gentleman in the field? What the hell did he do?

You Fang began to recall the last few meetings with Wu Lao before the winter vacation, when Wu Lao already knew his identity, and the two became year-old friends who talked almost nothing. Wu Lao rarely asked You Fang about the metaphysics of Feng Shui, but inquired in detail about things related to the book: how the cultural relics dealer receives and ships the goods, how the people on each line secretly contact, what kind of middleman can be found to connect to the line, what rules are there for dealing with each other, how to gain the trust of the other party, and so on.

The more You Fang thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, what was the purpose of Elder Wu to know these things in such detail, did he want to assist the public security organs in solving the case? As far as You Fang knows, Wu Lao once participated in the crackdown of the cultural relics inspection department and the police against the illegal excavation and smuggling gangs in the territory, but his identity at that time was only to assist in the identification of cultural relics, but he was not on the front line of criminal investigation.

Does Mr. Wu really want to go to the rivers and lakes to fulfill his dream of being a hero? The last time they met before the winter vacation, You Fang told Wu Lao that he was going home the next day, so he came to say goodbye. Wu Lao was very happy, drank a few more glasses of wine in the evening, and said many heart-wrenching things that he had not said before. There is a remark that You Fang remembers vividly-

"I'm in my sixties, and I've always had a dream that I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. In your eyes, I am a serious scholar, in fact, I also like to read martial arts novels, and I have read a lot of martial arts books from the Republic of China to contemporary times. When I was young, I often fantasized about learning a superb swordsmanship, fighting swords, fighting rivers and lakes to eliminate violence and peace, and roared when I saw injustice, ......" Wu Lao also sang as he spoke, singing and singing, and suddenly sighed again: "Alas! It's a pity that I only read a belly of books, and I have been a teacher in school all my life, and I see that the loess has been buried to my chin, and I am still dreaming of being a hero. ”

Could it be that this old gentleman has really gone to the rivers and lakes? You Fang knows very well who Wu Pingdong hates the most: first of all, the gang that destroys the surname and steals cultural relics; What is even more hateful is the transnational smuggling syndicate that organizes and directs the illegal excavation, buys and smuggles cultural relics on the black market at low prices; There are also those behind the scenes of receiving, laundering, and selling stolen goods, and then pushing these things to the market for huge profits. The old gentleman asked all kinds of questions so clearly, and ten ** people are going to these people!

If that's the case, then his situation is too dangerous! Don't say it's Wu Pingdong, even You Fang himself doesn't dare to do it easily, those doorways are all on paper!

After searching and probing for more than a month, Wu Pingdong still had no news, and You Fang finally couldn't sit still. On a windy and dark night, he made a cameo appearance as a snitch for the first time in his life, climbed up to the balcony on the fourth floor with good kung fu, and sneaked into Wu's house through the window of the study.

Of course, he didn't want to steal anything, but wanted to find clues about Wu Lao's whereabouts, and sure enough, he found clues. The fake Yuan blue and white plum vase in the study was missing, and the drawer of the desk was pried open to find an up-to-date medical record. Wu Lao did have a recurrence of his old illness, and the condition was very serious, and the doctor recommended that he be hospitalized immediately for surgery, and obviously Wu Lao did not accept this advice.

In Wu Lao's computer, You Fang found a lot of information, most of which were indexes of various cultural relics theft and smuggling cases that the police had cracked in recent years, as well as various inside information about the so-called "private collectors" on the rivers and lakes who were privately involved in black market transactions. It seems that You Fang guessed correctly, and the old gentleman is likely to try to break into these gangs as a private collector.

You Fang "stole" something when he left, that is, Wu Pingdong's computer, he took the computer to Zhongguancun to find his old friend Chen Jun, and asked him to pursue the information left in the computer: What websites has the old gentleman been on recently? What pseudonyms are used in what forums? In what capacity is it posting? Who have you been in contact with? How many emails or messages are exchanged? As long as there are clues, look up as much as possible.

After coming out of Chen Jun's place, You Fang immediately rushed to the hospital where Wu Lao checked his body with his medical records, and after some inquiry, he found the attending doctor at that time, and then after some soft and hard pleading, he almost threatened with force in the end, and the doctor who originally ignored him finally gave a detailed introduction to Wu Lao's condition.

After the recurrence of Wu Pingdong's old illness, the situation was already very serious, and if he did not undergo surgery and only underwent conservative treatment, he probably would not survive for one or two years. If the surgery is done, the risk is also very high, and the best outcome is of course a successful operation, but the optimistic estimate is only three or five years, and the most pessimistic estimate is that you will not be able to get off the operating table.

The doctor even said something to Wu Lao: "Maintaining a good mood and an optimistic and cheerful attitude is the magic weapon of health, and you can enjoy what you should enjoy." The doctor finally sighed to You Fang: "Professor Wu is so seriously ill, but he can't see it from the outside, I really don't know what kind of will he is using to support him!" ”

At this point, You Fang finally understood Wu Lao's actions. Everyone may have a deep dream in their minds, and there is no condition or possibility to make up their minds to realize it in ordinary times, and it is just a fantasy after drinking too much, isn't this the case for the vast majority of people in the world? But Wu Lao's situation at the moment is different, he is alone and has nothing to worry about, anyway, the end of the day, the surname Suo is open, and he is relieved to pursue the dream of this life, and he also tries to make up for the regrets he often feels in his heart.

You Fang even thought of calling the police, but the police couldn't report it. Helpless, he could only bite the bullet and find someone, that is, Xie Xiaoxian, the police flower who once brought him into the police station. Xie Xiaoxian is an on-the-job graduate student at the Law School of Yenching University, and he has been transferred to the Yanyuan Police Station to work for the convenience of his studies, and he has even been promoted to political commissar. She joined the party quite early at a young age, and if she can work so smoothly, it seems that her family must have a very strong background.

After more than two years of lessons from the previous game, You Fang later encountered this police flower on the shore of Weiming Lake, and later, You Fang also helped Xie Xiaoxian a favor, giving her the opportunity to make a contribution and crack a fraud gang (Note: The relevant content will be discussed separately later). This incident is also one of the reasons why Xie Xiaoxian was promoted in the grassroots police station, there are connections and deeds, and it is always easier to be promoted.

Xie Xiaoxian was very busy, and finally met and listened to You Fang explain what happened, although he expressed concern and sympathy, he couldn't help. Wu Pingdong's situation is not that he disappeared for no reason, he explained his plans before leaving, and his surname is equivalent to turning off his mobile phone and traveling alone, and it is impossible for the police station to file a case for investigation. Taking a step back, even if the disappearance is confirmed in the future, it is just a notice of online investigation, and it is impossible to use police force nationwide to find such a person, and Xie Xiaoxian, a small political commissar of the police station, certainly does not have this ability.

You Fang still didn't give up, and begged Xie Xiaoxian to find a way to find another clue. It is impossible for Wu Lao to go out without spending money, and it is impossible to use all the cash he carries for such a long time, so he must go to the bank to withdraw money. If he has used his own account, including a bank card or personal account, the bank will be able to check the records and the location of his withdrawal or credit card. Although his old friend Chen Jun is known as a hacker, he doesn't dare to hack into such a system, so he can only ask Xie Xiaoxian to find an excuse to go to the bank to check through his relationship.

This is a violation of discipline, Xie Xiaoxian didn't agree at first, so You Fang blocked her at the door of the law school and the police station every day, and she was not afraid of being tortured into the bureau anyway. didn't dare to threaten with force, but they were stubbornly pestered, which made the colleagues at the police station and the students from the law school think that You Fang was pursuing Sister Police Flower, and secretly admired the courage and cheekiness of this guy.

After being blocked for three days, Xie Xiaoxian finally agreed to help You Fang check through his personal relationship. Xie Xiaoxian really found clues, not only including Wu Pingdong's withdrawal records in various places, but also the news that the police in a certain place in the south have cracked a certain extraordinarily large cultural relics theft and smuggling group, the first offender "Du Xiucai" has been arrested, it is said that the amount directly involved in the case may be as high as hundreds of millions, and the indirect value of cultural relics is difficult to estimate, this case has alarmed the Ministry of Public Security.

According to internal sources, a "black market collector" somehow caught up with this gang and wanted to meet Du Xiucai to talk about a "big business". Du Xiucai is very deceitful, and after many temptations, he did not expose too many details when they met for the first time. Unexpectedly, the purpose of the collector was to meet Du Xiucai and confirm his identity, and Du Xiucai was arrested as soon as he went out, and the police cracked a series of big cases.

The "collector" did not contact the county and city police in advance, but directly contacted the local provincial public security department and the national cultural relics inspection department, as for his identity Xie Xiaoxian is not clear, these inside information is still from an elder who works in the Ministry of Public Security. And the city closest to the place where the crime occurred is the place where Wu Pingdong last withdrew his bank deposit, and the time is also very consistent.

On the same day that Xie Xiaoxian found the clue, You Fang received a letter from somewhere in the south, which turned out to be written by Wu Lao-

Children's Swim Formula:

Hello, let me say thank you! I've been a teacher all my life, but before I left, I learned a lot from you, which gave me the opportunity to do things that I've been thinking about all my life but have never been able to try. How many years, I have never been so indulgent and arbitrary, and now I feel that I am a young and graceful knight, although there is no sword hanging from my waist.

I know you're going to ask where I'm going, and with your ingenuity, you're going to be able to guess what I want to do, and you'll understand why I'm doing it.

I once wanted to say to you: study hard, no matter what way you try to get a real undergraduate diploma, and then apply for my graduate school, I will take you out like I took Xiaochi back then, and send you to the right path. It's a pity that God didn't give me this opportunity, as for the reason, I'm afraid you already know.

You're an outstanding kid, you're smart, and I don't need to say a lot more. I just want to tell you that you must choose your own path well, and the most precious things in life must always be collected. Walking on the rivers and lakes, what are we looking for? The process of pursuing the state of life is the meaning of life.

Selfish people are trapped in their own pursuits, and selfless people forget the pursuits of the world, but if the two end up in the same way, it will be a great blessing in life. The ancients said: "If it is not for its selflessness and evil, it can become its selfishness." "I've achieved my selfishness in this way, yes, it's selfishness, and it's a blessing in life. So you should congratulate me on this so-called seeking kindness.

I've done a few little things and a big thing lately, and I'm very happy, and I want to do a few more things while I still have time. Maybe I will end up leaving in obscurity, but I have the vigor and joy of being alone! You should be happy for me, you really should be happy! Knowing that you must be looking for me, I specially wrote this letter to you, you have to take care of yourself.

Finally, I beg your pardon as I bid you farewell in this way.
