"Oh! What's the matter? "My chrysanthemum. Hua Yi asked hurriedly.

"You should know about the big flood in the Yellow River in '98, right?" Li Guozhi asked me.

"Yes! At that time, most of our country was hit by floods, from Heilongjiang in the north to the Pearl River in the south...... I remember hearing my dad say that I was very impressed that most of the schools were closed for a week. I replied slowly.

"The flood of the Yellow River washed away the entire museum, and after the flood, the whole ...... It was as if the entire museum had disappeared from the world. As he spoke, Li Guozhi lit a cigarette and took two puffs.

I suddenly realized and hurriedly asked him, "Are you talking about the Yellow River Museum?" ”

"Oh?" Li Guozhi was a little surprised, "You even know about this museum?" ”

I nodded: "Brother Zhi, in fact, I don't know if it's a coincidence, I'm also investigating some old cases from twenty years ago, and the clues point to this museum." ”

I briefly recounted some of my father's recent disappearances, and I noticed that when he told the story, a look of surprise flashed on his face from time to time, but he was mostly calm.

"And this...... It seems that there is some kind of connection between the Yellow River Museum and the Yellow River Pharmaceutical......"

I thought that after listening to me talk about this, Li Guozhi would explain, but who knew that he only sighed with emotion, and then there was no follow-up, and then he lowered his head and smoked in a blur.

"Brother Zhi, you ...... You don't want to avenge your sister-in-law? ”

After a few minutes of silence, I still couldn't hold it back and asked him softly.

"Revenge?" Li Guozhi sneered, "In the first ten years, I wanted to take revenge all the time, but almost every time I took action, I would hear the news that my relatives were accidentally injured, once my mother was almost hit by a car, and once my brother was robbed and his thigh was scratched......"

After speaking, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Remember the last time you drank with me, what I said?" We're all little people, humble and fragile......"

From Li Guozhi's eyes, I can see that for the sake of his living family, he has given up revenge, at least in the absence of a chance of winning, and does not want to take any more risks.

This is also understood, I guess he is really scared!

The rest of the chat was dull.

"Brother Zhi, you ...... You still have that evidence, right? ”

Li Guozhi nodded.

"I don't want to try again......"

He shook his head again: "Please keep this matter a secret......

As he spoke, it was already half past three in the afternoon, and I knew that I couldn't ask anything more, so I got up and took my leave.

Li Guozhi's matter not only made me feel incredible, but also moved me, a hot-blooded young man has become a middle-aged uncle with a strange personality, he loves his wife and children, and is also filial to his parents, so he adopted a very extreme way to let their mother and son accompany him, since things are already like this, maybe he has compromised with fate in his bones, and accepted to live like this for the rest of his life.

I combed through what he said in my mind, and my intuition told me that my father's sudden disappearance was also related to what happened to Li Guozhi back then.

Soon in the evening, I went out of the station gate, stopped a hitchhiker, and went straight to the police station under the jurisdiction of the People's Hospital.

Captain Zhang's office was full of smoke, and four or five people gathered together to discuss things, and as soon as I entered the door, I was choked and coughed violently before I could speak.

"Big brothers, smoking is not good for your health...... We...... Can we quit? I said as I coughed.

Captain Zhang smiled and took a hard puff of his cigarette and farted the cigarette. The stock poked in the ashtray: "Brother, you don't understand!" In our business, sometimes it's similar to a taxi driver, and you can't do without a cigarette! ”

When I arrived, he repeated his plans for the evening.

According to the clues they have, Hong Jingkui has been using a fake ID card all these years, his name is Hong Tianlai, and he recently hid at No. 47 Haisheng Road in the old city, which is an abandoned school.

The old city is all dilapidated buildings, almost half of the chemical factories and pharmaceutical factories are built here, the transportation is inconvenient, the pollution is serious, and most of the people who have a little money have moved out, in other words, the old and the young, the sick, the disabled, and the poor who live in the old city.

The security in the old town is not good, because there are few residents, and the merger of the old town police station and another nearby police station in the past few years has led to more chaos in the area, and of course it has become a paradise for some absconders.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Captain Zhang beckoned us to get in the car, went out all the way to the south, and half an hour later all the cars stopped in front of a garbage station.

"There are still more than 1,000 meters from the destination, in order not to startle the snake, let's walk over this road quietly." Captain Zhang waved his hand and asked everyone to come around and whisper.

It's the first time I've followed the police. When he was out of the police, he was both excited and nervous, even more nervous than that night, when he and Wu Yuhui secretly went to Wang Yujue's house to find something.

As far as the eye could see, it was pitch black all around, and I could faintly see old houses of varying heights, and I wondered if they were in the wrong place wherever there were signs of human life.

The group walked along the rugged path on the side of the road, and after walking for about seven or eight minutes, they stopped, and in front of them was a dilapidated courtyard, the gate was long gone, a broken wall, and it had been abandoned for a long time.

The battlement on the left side of the gate is still there, and four mottled characters can be vaguely seen on it: Yihe Middle School in Hekou District.

It used to be a school, called Yihe Middle School.

Captain Zhang They were well-trained, and immediately changed their state, just like the plot in the TV series police and gangster films, they stuck to both sides of the gate and quickly entered the courtyard, Captain Zhang signaled me to follow closely behind him and not to make any movement.

The courtyard is almost covered with weeds, and there is a stone path in the middle that leads to the front of the three floors facing the gate, and the outline of the building can be seen in the faint moonlight.

Quietly came to the front of the building, only to see clearly that the door of the building was locked, and the big lock was rusty, and it was estimated that it had not been opened again after the last lock.

"How to get in? Team Zhang! The criminal policeman who rushed to the front turned around and asked Captain Zhang in a low voice.

Captain Zhang observed for a few seconds, and his eyes shifted from the rusty door to one side from the window: "The front is not passable, you have to go through the window!" ”

At this time an attentive little policeman. Cha pointed to the ground and whispered, "Look! ”

Looking for prestige, I saw that one of the weeds had been walked on many times, and the traces of stepping out led to the fourth window on the left, which, although closed, was clearly pulling a gap of a few centimeters.

"Team Zhang, is this here? Will it ...... "The little policeman beside me. Scratching the back of his head, he muttered.

"Don't make a sound! There can be no mistake. Captain Zhang patted him lightly, and then ordered a few of his subordinates to stand outside the window on the first floor, and let a short man climb the window to go in first.

The short detective's surname is Wei, and he is about the same age as me, I have met him a few times before, and they all call him Xiao Wei by Captain Zhang.

Xiao Wei stretched out his hand very vigorously, opened the window, and with a strong support of his hands, the person had already squatted on the windowsill.

Xiao Wei first took a flashlight and shone it into the house, then turned around and made an "ok" gesture to us, turned around and jumped down. We followed and fished in, and I was the penultimate one.
