Chapter Twenty-Five: Stories from Notebooks

When Tian was young, because his father was away all the year round, the relationship between father and son was not very good.

But it is said that the son follows the father, and Tian Lao has been interested in geological exploration since he was a child because of the collection of books at home, and even studied this major in college.

The year Tian Lao's father died, he had just graduated from college.

It's just that unlike his father, he chose to work on minerals.

Sun's explanation is related to this matter.

In his early years, Tian Lao could be called dedicated to the public, but later, because of the huge cost of tracking down the truth of his father's disappearance, he slowly went astray.

In the middle of the period, he began to work for a number of mining groups, privately surveying for their minerals, and earning a large amount of remuneration.

In the later stage, he even relied on his identity to collude with some mining bosses, issued false certificates, and resold national assets.

As for Sun Definition, he is to play the role of leading the line and serving on both sides.

It's no wonder that Professor Xu would say that Tian Lao has done a lot of wrong things, even if he dies, he deserves it, thinking about it, she has struggled and suffered in her heart over the years, but she is helpless.

It can be said that Tian Lao has wanted to find out the truth about his father's disappearance all his life, but even when he died, he did not turn a blind eye.

I am afraid that this is also the reason why Professor Xu is willing to hand over things to him, in order to help her husband fulfill his last wish.

After Tang Jiuge and Gao Xiaojun listened to Han Wen's narration, they were also full of embarrassment.

Sometimes it is really difficult to evaluate a person's merits and demerits from a single aspect.

"Did he give any news about an exploration team?" Su Heng thought for a while and asked.

According to Professor Xu, Tian Lao has an exploration team, and most of the money he has earned over the years has been invested in it.

"Exploration team? No. ”

Han Wen shook his head and asked again, "With the identity of the other party, it should be normal to have contact with several exploration teams, right?" ”

"No, that exploration team is exclusive to the other party, and the direction of exploration is not minerals, but several routes. In addition, Tian Lao contacted people on the night of his suicide, didn't you check the call records? What is the identity of the other party? Su Heng asked.

"Is there one? We checked Tian Lao's mobile phone, but there was no call record that night, and I will let people check it when I get back. Han Wen couldn't help but say.

"Forget it, it is estimated that even if you check, it will be impossible to find out anything." Su Heng shook his head, if there was no intervention from that mysterious organization, he would still be able to find some clues, but if the other party made a move, I am afraid that even Tang Jiuge might not be able to find out anything.

"So what's next?" Han Wen asked directly.

"I'll tell you this later, now you hurry up and interrogate people, and be careful not to lose people." Su Heng thought of the notebook that Professor Xu handed him, maybe he could find some clues from it.

"Don't worry, when it comes to my hands, even if he can really fly, he can't run away." Han Wen said confidently.

In this regard, Su Heng was noncommittal, not that Han Wen couldn't do it, but that the other party couldn't look at it with common sense.

However, looking at Han Wen's appearance at this time, even if he reminded him, he wouldn't care, so Su Heng didn't say the rest of the words.

After all, even if the other party escapes, it has little to do with him, maybe he can use this to lure the snake out of the hole, and the top priority is undoubtedly to find the whereabouts of the statue.

Back at the hotel opened by Tang Jiuge, Su Heng first hung the map on the wall, and then carefully re-read it, drawing circles with a pen, but most of them were obviously long in the past and could be distinguished at a glance.

There are only three places that look like they have just been marked.

Su Heng marked it with a pen again, turned his head to Tang Jiu Ge and said, "Check these three places." ”

"Yes, Captain." Tang Jiu Ge immediately turned on the computer and began to check it according to the marks on the map.

Su Heng opened the notebook that was treasured by Tian Lao, and the original photo was sandwiched on the first page, which looked yellowed and wrinkled around it.

Putting the photo aside, Su Heng began to look at the contents of the notebook.

This is a work diary, which records the problems encountered by Tian's father in the process of exploration, and occasionally a few pages are mixed with thoughts about his family, guilt for his wife and son.

It wasn't until the last few pages that Su Heng's expression finally became solemn.

"When I went to the No. 3 site to investigate today, I was stopped by the local villagers, saying that there is a god in the mountain and must not be disturbed, otherwise it will anger the gods, and there will be a disaster to come, so I have no choice but to return, waiting for the relevant departments to come and do ideological work."

"Xiao Wang in the team is young and vigorous, and sneaked into the mountains while the villagers were not paying attention, so he angered the villagers, and then a conflict broke out, many people in the team were injured, and the exploration equipment was smashed, so he could only call the police."

"Xiao Wang has not returned for two days, everyone in the team is worried, and wants to go into the mountain to look for it, but is blocked by the villagers again, saying that Xiao Wang has angered the gods in the mountain and has become a sacrifice."

"Ignorant and ignorant, but there is nothing to be done but contact the relevant departments and wait for rescue."

"Just when everyone thought that Xiao Wang had an accident, but unexpectedly Xiao Wang returned safely, everyone was happy and celebrated together at night."

"During the banquet, Xiao Wang quietly told me that he knew the reason why the villagers were not allowed to enter the mountain, and I asked him to come to my room later."

"I waited for the middle of the night and didn't see Xiao Wang coming, and I heard the shouting in the early morning, and rushed to Xiao Wang's room, only to see him kneeling on the ground, his head being cut off, and his hands were propped."

"Shocked, panicked, only to feel cold, like falling into hell."

"After the police arrived, they took Xiao Wang's body away, and then everyone questioned carefully, I hesitated, and finally I didn't tell what Xiao Wang told me."

"The villagers watched coldly, with sarcasm on their faces, and some people said to themselves, saying that Xiao Wang had offended the god of the mountain, and he had to sacrifice his head to atone for his sins."

"It's been two days, and there is still no result, the team is panicking, the exploration is deadlocked, and the results are waiting to be discussed above."

"It's been another two days, and finally someone can't help it, and the relationship is gone, and more and more, and in the end, only me and Lao Chen, and Xiao Kong are left. Lao Chen said that he had lived most of his life and had never seen God, so he wanted to stay and meet, Xiao Kong had the best relationship with Xiao Wang, and said that he wanted to avenge him, only me, I miss my wife and children at home very much at the moment, but I have a sense of mission, let me stay, find out the truth, and give Xiao Wang justice. ”

"Tonight, Lao Chen, and Xiao Kong cleaned up, and quietly entered the mountain while the villagers were not paying attention, since Xiao Wang can find it, I believe we will be able to find it too."

"The road is rough and full of insects, everyone worked together to survive the first night, but I don't know why, I have a bad feeling that something terrible is waiting for us on the road ahead, maybe we are wrong."
