I see!

I suddenly remembered that Liu Liwei said before that the city sent people to salvage these things at that time because of the order of a certain high-level officer, and after the things were salvaged, they were taken away as soon as possible, and now they will not be destroyed!

Thinking about it again, as he said just now, these things have become evidence, which means that they have not been destroyed...... Forget it! Don't bother to ask. My mind was a little confused.

Soon arrived at the Hekou District Police Station, there were seven or eight cars parked in the yard, three of which still had the sign of "Lu O", which seemed to have alarmed the province, and there was really a big man behind the case.

"Xiao Liu, when the time comes, you can explain truthfully."

Liu Liwei patted me on the shoulder, and two tall armed policemen took me to the interrogation room.

There were five people sitting in the interrogation room, two of whom I had seen, men in suits who had talked to me before, and two women with glasses on the side, who were supposed to be recorders.

"Sit down, young man!"

I nodded and sat down across from the five.

The middle-aged man sitting in the middle first asked me about the process of salvaging the black box and the deformed baby specimen that day, and then asked about Wu Baocai's diary, and I answered in as much detail as possible.

After signing and pressing the handprint, the middle-aged man sitting in the middle smiled at me: "I remember the young man's surname is Liu, right?" ”

I wiped the red marks off my hands with a tissue and replied, "Yes! Liu Ludong. ”

"What did you ask me about last time...... Liu Mengyun is your father? ”

Hearing Liu Mengyun's three words, my hands trembled, and the tissue fell to the ground, this is my father's name, I haven't heard anyone mention it for many years, how does he know?

Quickly nodded: "Yes...... This is my father's name! ”

The middle-aged man turned around and took out a stack of A4 papers from his bag behind him, found two pages and handed them to me.

"There's something I have to tell you...... Originally, this was a Class A secret, but now it doesn't make sense, the point is that this matter involves your father. The middle-aged man's expression became serious.

I was stunned and my scalp was numb.

"My father? You guys...... Do you have any news of him? ”

I didn't expect them to suddenly mention my dad, and at the same time, I was quite surprised, and my heart hung in my throat.

"Let's take a look at these two pages first!" The middle-aged man motioned for me to sit down.

This is a two-page photocopy, the original is handwritten, the handwriting is very neat, I scanned it, and it looks like it is a report on the expedition, which should be only part of the report.

The title is: "Report on the Investigation of Cultural Relics of the Qulai Kingdom".

The first line is the date: June 3, 1988.

The second line is the members of the expedition team: Cai Baoshan, Yang Linhe, Liu Ruize, Xiao Ruixin, Liu Mengyun, Guo Linhao, Bo Chuncai, Ding Xiaodong, Zhang Maolin, and there are several names at the back, I don't know if they are not printed, or they have been deliberately smeared, and they are no longer recognizable.

When I saw my father's name, I shuddered, and a feeling that was difficult to describe quickly dispersed to every cell in my body, and my first reaction was to cry.

The narrative ledger is followed by a cursory glance, and it is written about an expedition of the expedition, in which I noticed that the words "Yellow River", "cave" and "bronze" are mentioned many times. Unfortunately, there were only two pages, so I hurriedly asked the middle-aged man: "What about the back?" ”

"There are more than a dozen pages in the back, which record the process of that expedition, and it has little to do with your father." The middle-aged man took back the two pages of paper, put them back in his bag, and continued, "When investigating the case, we unexpectedly learned that an expedition team with a special mission was secretly organized back then, and all the members of the team were soldiers, and your father happened to be one of them. ”

I forcibly suppressed the excitement in my heart and urged, "What about the people of this expedition later?" "Actually, I want to know my father's whereabouts.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The military region where the expedition team is located has been redivided more than ten years ago and the unit number has been canceled, and we also learned this information when we were trying the case. ”

I was so anxious that I wanted to scold, but looking at the few people in front of me, I was afraid that no one could afford to provoke me, so I had to restrain my inner excitement again: "Can you tell me, where is my father and their investigation of this cultural relics of the ancient Lai country?" ”

The middle-aged man in the suit nodded: "As I said just now, this is no longer a secret, ten days ago, our task force specially sent someone to check some secret old files that were about to be destroyed, and found a very strange thing......

The middle-aged man in the suit stopped after only a few words, allowing the other four and the two female recorders to leave first.

"There is another case involved here, we want to join forces with the professors of Qilu Museum to form a task force again to investigate the events of the year, because of your father, I think you must want to participate!" As he spoke, he took out a leather envelope from his black bag and handed it to me.

"Yes! I want to participate! ”

Almost as soon as the man in the suit finished speaking, I immediately replied. The excitement in my heart! For a while, I had a feeling of dreaming, for more than ten years, I had suffered the shame and insult of my peers, and my father's disappearance was a huge mystery, which haunted me day and night, and I don't remember how many times I woke up in my sleep over the years, and then wiped away my tears and continued to sleep.

This has become an unbreakable knot......

The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "We want to invite you to participate, in addition to your father's reason, there is another reason, that is, the characteristics of your body may be able to play a role at a critical moment...... Liwei has already reported to us. ”

I don't care what the reason is, I just have to participate.

With that in mind, I took the yellowed brown paper bag.

The brown paper envelope felt very light in my hand, and it was not thick to the touch, so I quickly opened it, and what I never expected was that it was a yellowed old newspaper inside. I glanced up at the middle-aged man, meaning you can't be mistaken, let me read the old newspaper? He motioned for me to continue.

Yellow River Evening News. 24 August 1956.

I flipped through it and saw a long story circled in pencil on the back, with a dozen scribbled words next to the headline, but it was no longer legible. The newspaper font of the 50s is very strange, it is a slightly skewed Song font, which looks a little awkward.

The title is: The big brother of the Soviet Union went to China to support archaeological research, and the strange iron pipes of the Yellow River gradually unveiled the mystery.

The rhyming headlines of the battles are very characteristic of the headlines of newspapers in the fifties, but what attracted me more was the message contained in the headlines.

Read on:

On the morning of 24 August, the scientific expedition personnel sent by the Soviet big brother rushed to the Zhaojiapu section of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the excavation project progressed very slowly.

Previously, the scientific researchers of China have cleaned up a large number of ancient ceramics and bronze fragments in the mud, and preliminarily concluded that this is an ancient human cultural site in the pre-Qin period, and it belongs to an ancient civilization with mysterious colors that has never been discovered before.

The advanced equipment brought by the big brother of the Soviet Union accelerated the process of excavation, and at 3:50 p.m. this afternoon, strange metal pipes were found under the silt, which were sticking straight into the ground, and they were getting thicker and thicker.
