Yongxiu has two urban districts, the new city and the old city, and in the middle of the urban area is the Xiu River running down from the south to the north.

The slope of the river is under the bridge of the Xiuhe River, which is the junction of the two urban areas, and because of the proximity to the Xiuhe River, it was a relatively prosperous area more than 20 years ago.

Most of them are the residences of some geologists, and the residents' compounds and old office buildings of the geological team are all in this area, but then they slowly fell into disrepair without knowing what was going on.

So let's not talk about commercial buildings, for now, there is not even a proper yard in that place.

"Then this so-called, Jiangpo Business Building 1023......"

I repeated the name of the place in the photo again, thinking that it was right, could it be that there was a place called Jiangpo in another place?

But I enlarged the photo, and the address was clearly written: "Yongxiu County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province." ”

This is strange, how can the delivery address be a place that does not exist?

Or is this the name used for street diversions before? Because of the permanent revision system in 2012, some old neighborhood and street names have been changed together.

Thinking of this, I immediately called my classmate, this guy is from the Planning Bureau, and it stands to reason that he can find the original records used in the approval of land for housing construction, so it is basically right to look for him.

"Didi!"

The phone rang twice, and the guy answered.

"Hey, I'm busy, what's the matter at noon?"

"it!" I stopped him, "Something's wrong, I'm fucking dying." ”

After taking two breaths, seeing that he didn't speak, I lowered my voice and continued: "No kidding, I'm in trouble." ”

The other end of the phone paused for a few seconds, "You wait a minute......"

Then I heard the door opening, closing.

"What's going on!" His voice was a little anxious.

"I'll make a long story, first of all, you don't care if what I say is true or not, you just need to check!"

"Ding!" The sound of a lighter came from the other end of the phone, followed by the sound of Siss's inhalation.

"You say!"

"Help me find a place, Jiangpo Business Building."

"Over on the slope of the river? What happened to you? ”

I stopped him, "Don't care, you can't take care of this, brother, I don't have much time......"

Silent......

More than 20 seconds passed, with the squeak of fingers extinguishing cigarette butts.

"It's easy to do, but you ...... over there"

"I don't know, I honestly don't know what I'm going through."

Silence again......

"Okay, 1 hour." He said in a deep voice: "At the latest two hours, I will definitely call you." ”

I thanked him, hung up the phone and drove to the store.

Although there was an accident, I still had to explain the work at hand, so I first arranged the rest of the work, and then pulled out a baseball bat and a strong flashlight from the store.

After doing all this, I found a remote location in the store, closed my eyes and started waiting for the phone.

I know......

I knew it was out of my control and I had to react because, in retrospect, it was actually 10 years ago.

I should have thought of it 10 years ago.

That year was when my father disappeared......

That is, in 2009.

Speaking of my dad, this matter is a bit suspenseful.

I remember that he disappeared on the way to worship his grandfather on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar in 09.

At that time, I was still a sophomore, and in order to find him, I also mobilized classmates from surrounding counties in the class group.

The two uncles hired someone and searched everywhere he could, but found nothing.

In desperation, the family had to call the police, but after an official on-site investigation, it was still fruitless, and finally it was even suspected that someone had kidnapped him.

But in fact, when I thought of this result, everyone in my family knew in their hearts that who would kidnap a middle-aged man with no money and no power in these years? No money, no color.

As a last resort, in order to find signs of conflict and kidnapping, the authorities began to check and monitor the streets, and they finally spent a week locking their eyes on the property monitoring of a community.

Because the surveillance head was facing the same road that my dad might be passing by.

Soon, the official retrieved the surveillance video of the day.

My uncle and I followed them, sifting through them one by one, and a few hours later, the footage of my father's disappearance was recovered.

This is the only document that records the time before my father's disappearance.

Let's start with the place where my dad is going, which is the cemetery in our county.

The route he took can be clearly seen in the surveillance footage.

At that time, from the county to the cemetery, it was originally a three-fork road in the shape of "Bu", and the cemetery was on the road to the "type, that is, turn right.

But the strange thing is that in the monitoring at that time, my father passed through the three-way intersection and did not turn into the cemetery road, but walked straight forward and entered the blind spot of the monitoring.

And that place ......

It's the intersection of the old and the new town......

River slopes.

Sitting in a chair, I pressed my temples with my thumb.

My gut tells me that this is not a coincidence.

According to Li Jun, since several years ago, Du Chen has been sending a courier from Poyang to this Jiangpo area.

Well, Jiangpo...... Jiangpo ...... So what exactly is there in this place?

"Ding, ding, ding!" The phone rang.

I opened my eyes and immediately answered the phone.

"I found it!"

"Is there really this place?"

"Jiangpo Business Building." He said on the phone: "Actually, Yongxiu does not have this place, and its existence only exists in the approval file ten years ago. ”

I hummed, "You say, I'll listen." ”

Then this friend of mine told me a bizarre story about this non-existent place.

Anyone who is engaged in real estate knows that the process of approving a project is extremely cumbersome, from obtaining the "project approval" of the National Development and Reform Commission to the "construction permit" of the Construction Committee, there are almost more than 30 steps, and the process of going to the Planning Bureau, to say the least, there are six or seven.

So for this project ten years ago, it can be said that no one knows more in detail than the Planning Bureau.

In the first "planning opinion reply" given by the Planning Bureau in the archives, the name of the project was clearly marked.

"Jiangpo Wanhe Real Estate Business Building"

The land for this project was acquired on the same land in the current Jiangpo vegetable market, but ten years ago, I don't know what happened, and the project was knocked down here in the "Notice of Achievement of Nail Piles".

"Knocked out?" Hearing this, I was a little dazed.

"It wasn't us who knocked it down, it was the Institute of Surveying and Mapping, which is a unit under the Geological Bureau, mainly for field surveying."

"Why did you knock it out?" I'm still very concerned about the outcome.

"I've asked,......" he swallowed and paused for a long time, "I asked the seniors in my unit, and their unanimous answer was that when the Surveying and Mapping Institute was in the field ten years ago, they dug up something. ”

"What is it?"

"Nobody knows, but it's rarely leaked out, so no one in the county knows about it."

It's an inexplicable thing, and I'm not going to ask too much about it.

Then I asked him, have you seen the plan of the whole project? Is there a so-called room in 1023 that can be found?

He said that the plan of the project will not be so detailed, but this building does not have 10 floors, so from the name alone, it should be the first floor of the shop.

Then he told me about the prototype of the commercial building that was originally planned to be built, the first floor was a shop, the second to seventh floors were residential buildings, and the eighth floor was the highest floor, and he was planning to build a tourist hotel overlooking the whole of Yongxiu.

I nodded, and suddenly understood, that is, in fact, Yongxiu really did not have such an address, and the payment on the courier bill was just a fictitious address based on the abandoned planning project ten years ago.

“1023”

But the most bizarre thing is that in the past few years, the couriers sent by Du Chen have been delivered to this place that does not exist in this world in the first place.
