Zhao Zimeng looked across the road.

Across the road is a cement products factory.

A truck was pulling out of the gate with a concrete floor stacked on it.

The factory inside the cement factory looks like a newly built house, and to the east of the cement factory is a newly built residential building.

Obviously, the environment around the cadre school compound and the cadre school compound has changed a lot.

The driver said that in addition to farmland, there is also a sauce and vinegar factory, a pottery factory, and a grain depot around the dry school.

The sauce and vinegar factory and the pottery factory were built around 60 years ago; After the liberation of the grain depot, the name of this grain depot is Huanggang grain depot, Huanggang grain depot is the largest and longest grain depot in Qing'anjiang City.

"Master, where is the Huanggang grain depot?"

The coachman pointed to the west of the school: "The Huanggang Grain Depot is on the west side of the cadre school compound, separated from the cadre school by a wall. If you want to know about the situation in the cadre school compound, you can go to the people at the grain depot to inquire, and the staff of the grain depot have been here for the longest time. ”

"How many workers are there in the grain depot?"

"There are dozens of people."

Zhao Zimeng looked at his watch, and the time was around half past eight.

Zhao Zimeng decided to go back to the hotel. I'm really a little tired today, since taking over the case of Cold Moon Temple, everyone hasn't had a good rest, a good night's sleep, and there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow.

The driver sent the two men back to the hotel.

Linghu Yunfei paid five yuan for the fare: "Master, I have worked hard for you tonight, so don't look for money." ”

When the two of them got into the car, the driver said yes to recover the two dollars.

The coachman jumped off the cushion and grabbed Ling Hu Yunfei's shirt: "Wait a minute, if you say two yuan, I will take two yuan, you take care of my business, I thank you that you are too late, how can I charge you more!" ”

The coachman said as he took out three yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Ling Hu Yunfei's hand.

Ling Hu Yunfei saw that the old man was very resolute, so he didn't push it anymore: "Master, will you still be here tomorrow morning?" ”

"I'm here every day, it's close to the bus station, and there are a lot of customers."

"Then you can work hard tomorrow morning, and if it's convenient, bring another tricycle with you - we think it's convenient to take your car."

"No problem, you say the time, tomorrow morning, we will wait for you here."

"How's it going?"

"Okay, that's it."

"Goodbye, master."

"Goodbye." The driver got on the tricycle, rode forward more than ten meters, and turned back again.

The two men stopped.

"Two comrades, little old man, I have many mouths, are you looking for someone in the cadre school compound?"

"Master, you're right, we're really looking for someone, we're policemen, from Jingxi."

"Can you tell me who you're looking for?"

"We are looking for a woman named Zang Xiaorong, whose home address shown on her ID card is No. 103, Building 5, Huanggang Road Cadre School Compound, Qingpu District, Qing'anjiang City."

"So be it! I'll ask you when I get back, and I'll bring you a message tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you so much."

"No thanks, you guys don't know each other well, I'm a local, so it's easier to inquire about anything."

"Master, I'm sorry, we sat in your car for half a day, and we didn't ask your surname?"

"Don't smell your surname, it's better to hear than to see."

"Master Wen, see you tomorrow morning."

Master Wen turned the head of the car.

The two watched the old man's back disappear into the crowd.

The two men stood at the foot of the steps of the hotel for a while.

Looking at the back of Master Wen in the distance, Zhao Zimeng remembered Teng Laosan, Teng Auntie, and Master Jiang Zihaijiang in Shizhai.

Although life is very hard, they are never swayed by some delusions, and their hearts are very clean.

The reason why human society can continue to move towards civilization and progress is because thousands of people like Master Wen, Teng Laosan and Jiang Zihai are leading everyone forward.

Knowing that Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei had found nothing, Ma Jianping, Lin Di and Jueshui were all very heavy.

It was easy for everyone to find a clue, but they didn't expect that "No. 103, Building 5, Huanggang Road Cadre School Compound, Qingpu District, Qing'anjiang City" was an address that didn't exist at all.

However, Ma Jianping and Lin Di had good news to tell Zhao Zimeng and Linghu Yunfei: At about half past seven, when Master Jueshui was watching the evening news of Anjiang TV, he saw a familiar face - the face of Jie Cheng.

Unfortunately, the face appeared on the screen for too short a time, and the news ended when Master Jueshui wanted to make it carefully.

Master Jueshui's discovery is too important.

This discovery at least confirmed the judgment of Zen Master Puji: after Jiecheng left Lengyue Temple, it is very likely that he returned to Huaizhou - or settled in the Qing'an River.

It is not a simple thing for Jie Cheng to appear on TV, and even less so if he is the protagonist of the news.

Several people immediately went downstairs to the information desk to ask about the content of the TV news.

Unfortunately, the two female comrades at the service desk watched the CCTV news.

A few people went to the service desks and shops of several hostels next to the hotel to inquire, but they still found nothing.

Before going to bed, Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei, Ma Jianping and Lin Di discussed and decided that tomorrow the soldiers would divide into two routes, all the way to the Huanggang grain depot to try their luck, and this route would make Hu Yunfei and Lin Di responsible; Zhao Zimeng and Ma Jianping went to the criminal investigation team of the Qing'anjiang City Public Security Bureau for help.

If there is still no result, go to Qing'anjiang TV station to find out the situation.

At about half past seven the next morning, Zhao Zimeng and his party walked out of the hotel.

Two tricycles were parked under the steps.

Master Wen was standing next to a tricycle talking to a person, and when he saw four people walking out of the hotel, Master Wen greeted him: "Captain Zhao, I'll bring someone here to do the things of the school compound, he knows a little bit." ”

"This master's surname." Zhao Zimeng held the other party's hand.

"Don't be surnamed Geng, Geng Songlin."

Geng Songlin was about fifty years old, with thinning and sparse hair; A pair of glasses resting on the bridge of the nose; He was wearing a gray windbreaker and a pair of black leather shoes on his feet, looking polite.

"Captain Zhao, Xiao Geng is my neighbor, and he is the director of the Qingpu District Cultural Center."

"Last night, I went home after breaking up with you, I inquired about several people, and finally asked something from Xiao Geng's mouth, I don't know if it will be useful for your investigation."

"Curator Geng, thank you. Master, you're tired. ”

"You're welcome. Captain Zhao, I have a friend who once lived in Building 4 of the cadre school compound, his name is Zhang Wenshui. ”

Lin Di took out a pen and notebook from his bag.

"Zhang Wenshui, the 'chapter' of the article," Curator Geng said while watching Lin Di write, "Zhang Wenshui used to be the editor of the provincial newspaper, he came to Huanggang Wuqi Cadre School in the spring of 1972, and left in the autumn of 1977. ”

Zang Yurong left Jingjiang in the spring of 1977, and Jiecheng left Lengyue Temple after May 29, 1977 - left Jingxi and came to Jingjiang to find Zang Yurong.

"At the end of 1976, the people who came to the cadre school for labor reform were almost gone, and Zhang Wenshui also received an order from the newspaper, which also asked him to take charge of his previous work."

"But the leaders of the newspaper did not know that Zhang Wenshui suffered from serious liver disease and tuberculosis, because of physical reasons, Zhang Wenshui continued to live in the cadre school compound to recuperate, and later, because of his health and age, he chose to retire and return to his hometown Huaizhou."

"Director Geng, let's go to the hotel and sit down and talk." Zhao Zimeng said.

"You go in and talk, we'll wait here." Master Wen said.

"Master Wen, I'm delaying your business." Zhao Zimeng said.

"Hi, we pedal the tricycle mainly to move the muscles and bones, kill time, people are old, do not move, afraid that the bones will rust."

"Xiao Geng, you and Captain Zhao go in and sit down to talk, Captain Zhao, don't worry, talk slowly, talk thoroughly. Xiao Geng's words may be helpful to you. ”

Everyone invited Geng Songlin into the hotel and entered the guest room on the second floor.

After everyone sat down, Lin Di poured a glass of water and put it on the bedside table next to Geng Songlin.

Ling Hu Yunfei took out a cigarette from his pocket.

Geng Songling waved his hand at Linghu Yunfei: "I don't know how to smoke." ”

Linghu Yunfei pushed the cigarette he took out into the cigarette case.

"I have been working in the cultural center for a long time, and I usually like to write articles, Zhang Wenshui likes to read, and he often comes to the cultural center to borrow books."

"Once, he saw that I was writing, and I picked it up and looked at it, but at first, I didn't know that he was the editor of the provincial newspaper, and it was said by a friend who came with him to borrow books."

"Since then, I have often sent books to them, and I will give them whatever they want to read, and I will find ways to borrow books that are not available in the cultural center."

"We got acquainted with each other back and forth, and later, he also talked to me about writing and helped me revise the manuscript for several times."

"With his encouragement, I submitted articles to provincial newspapers and some magazines, but what I didn't expect was that my manuscript was selected - several articles were published."

"What I want to tell you is Zhang Wenshui's good friend Da Yifan, the one who often goes to the cultural center with Zhang Wenshui to borrow books, and he lives at No. 102, Building 5, Cadre School. Sometimes, when I send books to Zhang Wenshui, Zhang Wenshui is not in the dormitory, so I throw the books to Da Yifan. ”

There was such a coincidence in the world, Zhao Zimeng didn't expect Master Wen to give him a big surprise.

If Zang Xiaorong lives at No. 103 of Building 5, then Da Yifan and Zang Xiaorong are door-to-door - or door-to-door neighbors. From a certain point of view, neighbors should be a more intimate relationship.

"Curator Geng, thank you so much. The Cadre School compound no longer exists, and you provide a very important clue when our investigation is in trouble. ”

"Captain Zhao, I also hope this is an important clue, but you can't be too optimistic."

Director Geng's expression suddenly became solemn: "Da Yifan implemented the policy at the end of 1976 and resumed his work - at the end of 1976, he left the cadre school compound. ”
