Chapter 61: Tears are hard to dry

"Have you uncoded the code of that poem?" Xu Yue asked.

"Not yet." Fu Ran said.

Xu Yue took the paper with the poem copied and pondered it repeatedly, but he still had no clue.

There was also a sudden silence on the eagle's side.

His wife Cheng Jiawen used to be a Chinese teacher, and she just wanted to show her this poem when Ji An sent a text message.

After reading the text message, his face instantly became gloomy.

First, it is the mysterious identity of Gu Ziqi.

Second, Ji An suspects that there is an internal ghost.

He had to hurry up and check Gu Ziqi's identity now.

This time, he did not inform Fu Ran, but called his colleagues who used to work together in the city police department.

In fact, he also suspected that there was an inner ghost.

Before the incident of escorting Ding Yicang, except for a few people who accompanied him, there was also Duan Xiao, so he didn't know, and even Ji An didn't know that he planned to hide Ding Yicang in the temple.

However, the eagle people just knew, and they faked the collapse of the mountain halfway and robbed Ding Yicang.

At that time, Fu Ran's car did not catch up in time and was blocked halfway.

Is this really a coincidence?

The phone rings again: "Hey." Jiawen. ”

"I'm leaving home now, I'll pick you up." Cheng Jiawen's gentle voice hit his heart like soft cotton.

"Okay, stay safe when driving." Xu Yue naturally advised.

He hurt his leg and limped, and before the wound had healed, he rushed to work, refusing to rest properly.

So Cheng Jiawen was very resolute this time, and he must personally send him to and from work, otherwise he will not be allowed to go out.

"Xu Yue, I used to listen to you for everything, but in this matter, I have to be tough. I said, "No." ”

"If you want to go to work, you have to take me with you, anyway, I'm a housewife and a vagrant, and I can spend all my time with you."

That's what she said.

So, after careful consideration, Xu Yue finally allowed her to drive herself to and from work.

He waited outside on crutches, and the SUV drove in slowly, and he relaxed a lot when he saw her driving so steadily.

"The technology is not unfamiliar at all." He said.

"It's okay, because I'm driving slowly, and I've been trying to find a feeling." Cheng Jiawen smiled lightly, "How is it, it's going well today?" What's the catch? ”

“…… Mess. It's getting more and more complex. Xu Yue sighed.

"Yes. I stewed ginseng hen soup to make up for you. Only when you are in good health can you have the strength to work. Cheng Jiawen said.

When he got home, Cheng Jiawen really served a bowl of soup very attentively and handed it to him: "Be careful of scalding." ”

Xu Yue took a sip of the spoon, tasted it carefully, and took another sip: "This taste is a bit similar to the hen soup made in the restaurant in the town." ”

"Really?" Cheng Jiawen took Xu Yue's spoon and tasted it, "It tastes good." It seems that my soup cooking skills are comparable to those of the restaurant chefs. ”

……

The next day, they rented an SUV.

"Do you want to climb mountains and wade through rivers or something?" Jiang Zhou asked.

"No, you don't." Ji An said.

"I thought it was going to be one of those secret bases that you couldn't find on a map. How long will it take? Jiang Zhou asked.

"An hour or so." Ji Kishi answered.

The road they took was completely dirt and the cement had not been poured.

On the other side, there are still some people living there, but on this end, there is no population at all.

In the midst of the mountains, the off-road vehicle passes through the trees.

The flat forest desert is like smoke, and the cold mountains are sad and blue.

Although the four seasons here are like spring, the verdant is still intermittently yellow.

"Have you always been here?" Jiang Zhou asked.

"Rarely go out." Ji An replied.

Breaking through the greenery, Jiang Zhou then came to a desolate clearing.

"Here we are."

The off-road vehicle stopped steadily, and Ji An opened the door and got out of the car first.

Nothing.

It's just an open space.

There were no plants, trees or flowers growing in the clearing, and the cries of birds and beasts seemed to be full of resentment.

Jiang Zhou couldn't believe that there was once a research institute here.

"It's been eight years, and it looks like everything has been removed." Not even ruins remained.

In this case, it is almost impossible to find valid evidence.

In eight years, nearly 3,000 days and nights, how many days and rains were exposed to the sun, and those that were left behind were blown away by the rain and wind.

Seeing that Jiang Zhou was standing still, Ji An walked forward alone, squatted down, and turned over the loose clods on the ground.

After looking around, I didn't find a few charred stones or clods of soil.

Jiang Zhou stood still, her legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and couldn't lift them.

She looked at his back, tall but full of gloomy feelings, and a sadness rose in her heart, which made her breathless.

"Jiang Zhou, stop crying." He turned and walked over to her and wiped away her tears.

He could smell the salty and wet smell of tears when he was leaning on his back just now.

"You weren't that crying before." He said.

I didn't weep because my heart was dead.

You make my heart beat again, but you also make tears flow.

"Even if you still look good when you cry, I beg you, don't cry anymore."

She had no choice but to put her face against his warm chest and wipe all the tears and snot all over his body.

What should he do if he can't find strong evidence?

What should I do with the twelve nameless mounds on Nayi Mountain?

……

The two returned to the car and found nothing.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Zhou found that a piece of paper was caught on the wiper in front of him: "Look! ”

Ji An quickly looked around and saw that there was no one, so he got out of the car to take down the note.

Above is a stick figure map.

Also, the three words that shocked them the most:

Ding Yican.

"Walk 800 meters, 450 meters, through the rubble...... Does this mean that we need to find the past? Jiang Zhou said.

"There must have been no note before, so he put it up when we got out of the car. If it's an eagle person, it's inaccessible here, and we don't need to beat around the bush at all to deal with it. ”

"He doesn't want to be discovered by others." Ji An said, "Do you remember the way back?" ”

Jiang Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you mean, I don't remember." ”

He thought for a moment: "Jiang Zhou, to be honest, I really don't know what's waiting for us ahead, so, I hope you are safe." ”

"I don't know the way back, and if you don't take me with me, I'll sink into the wilderness."

……

The two of them followed the route drawn on the note, walked through a field of withered weeds, passed through a pile of rubble, and found a thatched house in the depths of the jungle.

When you push the door open, you will be greeted by stones piled up on a hill. These stones are not ordinary stones, but charred cement blocks.

"You're finally here."

Under a small kerosene lamp, a man stands.

"I'm Chen Xian."

Chen Xian?

Ji An felt as if he had heard this name somewhere.

"Chen Zui, it's my sworn brother."

Chen Zui is one of the twelve members of the research group.

He used to seem to have mentioned that he had a brother who had a very good relationship, and the two had the same surname, called Chen Xian.

"When the East Window incident happened, I felt that there was definitely something wrong with this matter. Chen Zui, I have known him for so many years, his ideal is to benefit the people, and he is not the kind of person who will do anything for the sake of profit. ”

"Just as I was about to go to him and ask him about it, the unbelievable bombing happened. How did the media report on it, what mass suicides, explosions caused by improper operation by researchers, suicides in fear of crime...... All sorts of messy hats are buttoned up on them! ”

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar. But I still believe, I believe that Chen Zui is not such a person, I believe in Zhou Qiguang, I believe in you. So for so many years, I have been pretending to be a journalist to investigate this matter. ”

"I went to Yishan and found that you were not dead. At first I was a little skeptical of you, but then, the correspondence records. Moreover, they are after you. ”

Hearing the word "chase and kill", Jiang Zhou's heart sank.

"In order to find out the truth about the explosion, I came to Wanmachi and almost emptied the entire burned research room."

No wonder, there is nothing left there.

"So, did you find any evidence in those fragments?" Ji An asked.

"Hallucinogens." Chen's eyes lit up, "I found the ingredients for hallucinogens." This hallucinogen, you still need to answer. ”

Chen Zui found the residue of the hallucinogen, which was very important evidence, evidence that could reveal the truth about the explosion.

It's just that......

Jiang Zhou glanced at Ji An.

and to expose their own scars, and to show bloody wounds.

Ji An spoke calmly, while Chen Xian, on the other hand, his eyes were wide and red, his hands clenched into fists were bruised, and the seven-foot man, tears were raining down.

"Ding Yibo, this beast is not as good as a beast! Does this old immortal still have the face to live in this world?! Chen Xian's voice sounded as if it was about to swallow him alive.

"He has to live, and if he dies, we won't have any proof of the researcher's innocence." Ji An said calmly.

Without proof, they will live forever and die without turning a blind eye.

"I knew that Chen Zui was not that kind of person! Despite the overwhelming abuse after the news came out, I also believe that he is not that kind of person! He was such a great, kind person, and he chose to believe in me and encourage me when I was at my most downfall and abandoned by the world! Let me know that there is still a glimmer of light in this world...... But why should such a good person suffer such cruel things...... Why ......"

After cursing Ding Yibo fiercely, Chen Xian collapsed to the ground like a child, crying with a whimper.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.

Jiang Zhou and Ji An stood and looked at Chen Xian, who was crying and trembling, without saying a word.

In this remote town, the desolate Wan Town, the dilapidated little thatched house, and the dim and flickering kerosene lamp, reflected a man's tear-stained face.

The vicissitudes of life are like a weather-beaten wasteland.
