Chapter 384: Clues

After Wang Ziqi returned from the press conference, Wang Tao, the editor-in-chief, was reading the materials in the office of the Northeast Daily.

Wang Tao was born in 1828 in Fuli Village, Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture, and his original name was Wang Libin. In 1845, he was admitted to Xiucai, and in the same year he changed his name to Wang Han. Four years later, he was invited by the British missionary Maddos to work at the Mohai Library in Shanghai. In 1862, under the pseudonym Huang Wan, he wrote to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, offering advice and strengthening his rule. Later, he was discovered by the Qing court and ordered his arrest. With the help of the British Consul in Shanghai, he fled to Hong Kong and was later invited to assist James Lee, the Principal of Anglo-Chinese College, in translating the Thirteen Classics into English. At this time, in order to prevent the Qing court from tracking and persecuting, Wang Han officially changed his name to Wang Tao, and the people called him the long-haired champion!

From the winter of 1867 to the spring of 1868, Wang Tao roamed France, Britain and other countries, and had a deeper understanding of modern Western civilization. From 1868 to 1870 he lived in the village of Dura in Clarkmnanshire, Scotland, assisting Jacob. He returned to Hong Kong in 1870. In 1874, he raised funds in Hong Kong to establish the "Circulation Daily", which commented on current politics and advocated reform and reform, which had a great influence. In 1879, Wang Tao was invited by Japanese literati to go to Japan for a four-month investigation. Wang Tao inspected Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama and other cities, and wrote "Fuso Travels".

Wang Tao returned to Shanghai in 1884 after a more than 20-year absence, and the following year he became the president of Shanghai Gezhi Academy. Later, due to the sincere invitation of the Northeast Daily, he went to the Northeast to become the deputy editor-in-chief of the Northeast Daily, and has now been promoted to the editor-in-chief. Shanghai Gezhi Academy has also been absorbed and reorganized by the relevant systems in Northeast China, and is now very famous in Shanghai, with more than 500 students, teaching Western studies.

Unlike people like Wang Ziqi, who have been buried in history, Wang Tao is known as the father of Chinese journalism and a well-known Western-style political commentator. After arriving in the Northeast, he admired Wang Yi's new policy in the Northeast, and at the same time I don't know if it was the reason for the persecution by the Qing court in the early years, he was diametrically opposed to Liu Guangdi's political position, advocating ethnic equality, and resolutely overthrowing the decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty by force. To use Wang Yi's joke, it is an old and angry young man.

"Coming back?" Seeing Wang Ziqi, Wang Tao got up to greet him and poured him a cup of tea at the same time.

"Hah, you haven't gotten off work yet?"

"You also know that I am alone in the Northeast now, and my son and daughter-in-law have all gone back to their hometown to save their relatives, and they will only come back in May." Saying that, Wang Tao smiled and continued: "I am also sixty years old, and I can't do it in this position for a few years. It's a little more to do it now, and what regrets will the province have in the future. ”

"Look at what you said, your body is much stronger than mine, and it's too early to retire." Wang Ziqi took off his cotton coat and hung it on the hanger.

After the two took their seats, Wang Tao asked, "How is the case, what is the progress on the Prime Minister's Office?" ”

"I saw Wang Yi, but he didn't say much about the case. During the question-and-answer period, Liu Guangdi seemed to want to count the responsibility for the casualties of this attack on him, but he didn't expect that this king was not very old, and his eloquence was not bad, coupled with the firm expression of righteous words, it made Liu Guangdi come to a big nest of roast chicken. ”

When Wang Tao heard Liu Guangdi's name, he snorted coldly.

"Clear the dog and the thief."

Wang Ziqi knew Wang Tao's life experience, so he didn't think it was strange, and said with a smile: "People are Hakka." ”

While he was talking, another person walked in from outside. This man was much younger than the two of them. If it's full, it's just in your early twenties. He has no braids, he is not tall, but he is very stocky, his skin is dark, and he looks vibrant.

"Hey, two big guys, I've found good material today."

His name is Han Yunde, and like Wang Ziqi, he is a person who has not left a name in history. But now in the eyes of Wang Tao, the editor-in-chief of Northeast Daily, there is a kind of joy that the future can be expected. Wang Yi changed history, and countless people got rid of the suffocating shackles that were once imposed on the Chinese nation by the great powers, and forged ahead bravely on the road of their respective lives.

"Tell me about it!" Wang Tao expressed his interest.

Han Yunde took out the small notebook he was carrying, and then said, "Today I went to the police station to see if there were any cases that could be reported." The two bigwigs also know that because of yesterday's incident, martial law in Shengjing City, although it has been lifted earlier today, most of the police force in the police station is still invested in the investigation of this matter. Speaking of which, it was me, and if I changed to a reporter from another newspaper, the police would have driven me away. ”

"You kid just brag!" Wang Ziqi smiled and counted. "Hurry up and get down to business."

Han Yunde's face was not ashamed, and he was ridiculed by the two bosses, he was used to it. Both of them are his grandparents, grandchildren, and he also knows that his little arms can't twist his thighs. "That's right, in order to prevent me from being hated in the police station, Captain Chen of our substation told me a piece of news, saying that I was willing to go and investigate. There was a case of disappearance in Huanggu District. ”

"Disappearance?"

Wang Ziqi and Wang Tao glanced at each other, not understanding what was the point of Han Yunde, a kid, investigating this case at this critical juncture. Although the public security in Shengjing is generally peaceful, there are always a few cases of missing persons a year, and in normal times, it is normal to report a report, but now...... Fortunately, the two of them were deep, so they still continued to listen, obviously Han Yunde's statement, the good show was still to come.

"Originally, I didn't want to go. Later, when I thought about it, the police were busy with foreign affairs now, and they didn't have time to deal with me. If you continue to rely on it, it will inevitably hurt your feelings. As soon as I thought about it, I was idle after all, so I simply went for a trip. Han Yunde's mouth was full of foam, in order to ease his breath, he took a sip of water, and then continued: "The missing person is a widowed old man, who lives alone in a small courtyard. The neighbors didn't see him for a few days, and they thought they had gone to relatives. Later, a child kicked the shuttlecock into his home, and after climbing over the wall to enter, he accidentally saw a mess in the house, as if it had been overturned. Nearby residents all knew that the old man had no wife and no children, and that he was widowed and lonely, and his legs and feet were not good, so they reported the matter to the local police station. ”

Wang Ziqi and Wang Tao listened very carefully, and Han Yunde's eyes lit up when he talked about the Huanggu District.

"When I got to the yard, I realized that it wasn't very far from the moat bridge, where the bombing attack took place. And from the back door of this small courtyard, there is a very private road to the moat, and there are no other homes around. ”

"You mean to say that the attackers of the bombing were hiding in this courtyard before?" Wang Tao and Wang Ziqi both reacted at this time.

"That's what I guessed, and then I searched along the path in my backyard and found a suspicious piece of land next to an old apricot tree, which had been dug up and was covered with new soil. Later, I inquired with nearby residents, and they didn't know what was going on. When I hired someone to dig it up, I found a skeleton inside, which was identified by the surrounding residents and confirmed to be the missing old man. The CIA people have already begun to take over the investigation, and they promised to give me the scoop when the facts are clear. After saying that, Han Yunde laughed proudly.
