Three days later.

Zhang Ziang and I have entered the mountain market, but I was separated from him, I seemed to be asleep in the bus, and when I woke up, Zhang Ziang was gone, but his bag was still in the seat, and I couldn't get through to his mobile phone, so Zhang Ziang disappeared.

When I arrived in the mountain market, I couldn't find his whereabouts, so I had to wait for him at the first place we had planned.

It was not easy to leave from Sioux City and come to Shanshi, and the person Zhang Ziang found to help was also very unexpected to me, it turned out to be Deputy Jin, after I left the police station, I rarely saw Deputy Jin, and he didn't seem to lead the team often in the subsequent cases, it was Team Nie who has been dealing with these things.

So when I saw that it was the Jin vice team, I was surprised, and at the same time I didn't know how Zhang Ziang could have such a friendship with the Jin vice team, the gold vice team didn't say anything, helping us avoid these people and left Sioux City, originally from Sioux City to Shanshi had to pass through River City, but Jin Vice Team found two people to mix me and Zhang Ziang from the established route, and we rerouted from the diametrically opposite direction to go around a circle to Shanshi, so what originally only took more than a day became three days, It was also when he entered the mountain market after changing cars that Zhang Ziang disappeared.

Before leaving, Zhang Ziang and I planned three places to go in turn, the first was the village where the corpse case occurred when I was about four years old, so after I completely lost contact with Zhang Ziang, I went to this village first.

It's been more than 20 years now, and when I came back, I felt completely unfamiliar, and this village is too small, although it is not a mountain village, but it really looks like a village, I don't know if it is because of the corpse case, when I came here again, I felt that this place was almost deserted, and there was no one in the whole village except for a few old people.

He Baihua's home is still there, but it should be completely dilapidated because no one has lived in it for many years, when I arrived, it was almost dusk, I looked through the door, and an old man saw that I was not from the village, so he said to me, "Young man, who are you looking for, no one has lived in this house for more than 20 years, are you looking for the wrong place?" ”

I glanced at the old man, I couldn't reveal my identity at this time, so I made up a random name and asked, "Does Shen Haibing live here?" ”

The uncle listened and looked at me, then took two steps back, pointed to the end of the village, and said, "This is not his house, the one at the end of the village is his house." ”

I myself was stunned for a moment, I just said the name casually, I didn't expect that there was such a person in this village, which made it very embarrassing, I didn't know this person, and now this old man is going to take me to his house.

I can only follow the old man to Shen Hai's family, it's not that I can't shirk it, as long as a name I casually say turns out to be a person from the village, which really shocks me, and I also want to see what kind of person this is.

On the way there, the old man asked me, "I know Shen Haiquan, he is almost forty years old and has not started a family, he has been alone, and I have never heard of any relatives he has outside, are you him or something?" ”

When I heard that I was in my forties, my heart "chuckled", especially when I said that he was not married, which immediately made me think if this person was also from the team back then?

I said, "I'm a distant relative, he's my uncle, and I've come to him for something." ”

The old man said, "That's so." ”

He didn't ask any more questions, when I arrived at Shen Haiquan's house, the old man called the door for me, this old man was so enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that I was a little embarrassed, until Shen Haiquan opened the door, he looked at the old man, and saw me again, and I looked at this unfamiliar face, I didn't have any impression at all, but he said, "He Yang, why are you here?" ”

As soon as the old man heard Shen Haiquan call my name, he said, "Haiquan, your nephew can't find Lao He's house when he looks for you, I see that he has been looking at him there for fear of accidents, so I brought him over, and I will leave first when you uncle and nephew chat." ”

Shen Haiquan said, "Thank you, Second Uncle Yu." ”

After saying that, Second Uncle Yu left, and when only Shen Haiquan and I were left, Shen Haiquan looked at me and looked outside, and then said to me, "Let's talk about it first." ”

After entering, Shen Haiquan closed the door, and then asked me, "Why did you come here, what happened, did someone follow you?" ”

I saw that Shen Haiquan seemed to know me very well, and seemed to know a lot of things, but I was confused, I said, "You know me?" ”

Shen Haiquan glanced at me, and did not continue, but said, "Go into the house first." ”

When I got to the house, he asked me to sit down, and when he saw me carrying two backpacks, he said, "Why are you carrying two backpacks, and any of you are traveling, who is it?" ”

Just a few short words of communication, I felt that this Shen Hai was not an ordinary person, so I tentatively asked, "Have you ever been a scout or something?" ”

Shen Haiquan glanced at me and said, "I used to serve in the army for three years. ”

Three years!

It's a very special number, and only in that unit there are three years, and I say "you ......"

Shen Haiquan said, "Who is this person traveling with you, and where has he gone?" ”

Since Shen Haiquan was in the later team of one hundred and twenty-one people, he naturally knew Zhang Ziang, so I said, "I came with Zhang Ziang, but he disappeared when I entered the mountain market, and the first place we agreed on was here, so I came here to wait for him." ”

Shen Haiquan said, "It's him." ”

In this way, Shen Haiquan did know Zhang Ziang, and seeing Shen Haiquan so straightforward, I asked, "So have you seen Team Fan here?" ”

Shen Haiquan heard me say this, "You mean Fan Zhen? ”

I asked, "Yes, that's him, he's been here, hasn't he?" ”

Shen Haiquan said, "He shouldn't have been here, and if he did, I wouldn't have known." ”

I was stunned for a moment, Team Fan has never been here, so where has he gone, what is he looking for when he came to Mountain City.

I was thinking about it when Shen Haiquan asked me, "I see you don't know me at all, but how did you tell my name to Second Uncle Yu?" ”

I was asked like this, and said truthfully, "I don't know, I said that this name is what I made up to deal with the second uncle you said, do you believe it?" ”

Shen Haiquan didn't react as I expected, but said, "So that's the case, no wonder you know my name, but when you see me, you look unfamiliar, it turns out that you don't know me." ”

I asked, "But how do you know me, even if you know my father, but I was so young at that time, you couldn't have recognized me at a glance." ”

Shen Haiquan said, "You forgot, we only met not long ago, don't you remember at all?" ”

I was even more stunned and asked, "We met not long ago?" ”

I searched my mind but found no clues, I thought the face was unfamiliar, I shook my head and said, "I can't remember." ”

I saw Shen Haiquan frowning, and he said, "Then you must not have done what I asked you to do." ”

I asked, "What do you want me to do?" And where exactly did we meet? ”

Shen Haiquan said, "In Tiger Hill, which is ten miles away from here, you should have passed through there when you came." ”

Again, I asked, "Tiger Hill?" ”

Shen Haiquan said, "About a month ago, you suddenly contacted me and asked me to meet in Tiger Hill, don't you remember?" ”

I wondered if it was the seven days I had been missing in Ping'an Town a month ago.

I then looked at Shen Haiquan in shock: "Could it be that the seven days I disappeared were not just in Ping'an Town, but I came to the mountain city to see you!"

Shen Haiquan said, "You did tell me at the time that you came from Ping'an Town, and I asked you where Ping'an Town was. ”

I didn't expect that this incident, which had no clue at all, would be answered here, so I asked Shen Haiquan, "What am I doing here to find you in Mountain City?" ”

Shen Haiquan said: "You tell me that He Baihua is still alive. ”

Shocked again, I asked "I told you this?" ”

Shen Haiquan nodded, and he said with certainty, "Yes, your tone is very affirmative." ”

Although we firmly believe that He Baihua is still alive, there has been no clear evidence, and I found Shen Haiquan told him this so firmly, but asked me what I told him for?

I asked, "But why am I telling you this?" ”

Shen Haiquan said, "Because you're looking for He Baihua." ”

I asked, "Am I looking for him?" ”

Shen Haiquan said, "Yes, although I don't know why you don't remember this memory, but you told me at the time that you were looking for He Baihua, you know that he is still alive, and you know that he is here, waiting for you to come to him." ”

I asked, "But I'm looking for He Baihua, why don't I look for it myself, but find you, and tell you this?" ”
