Chapter 58: The Disappearing Taxi Driver
The three days agreed upon by the Li Bureau are approaching.
I also said hello to the Chenglou Branch, and left City F by the earliest bus early in the morning of the fourth day, and went to the provincial capital to catch a plane back to City B.
The follow-up case will be communicated by telephone.
On the last day, Yi Tian still couldn't hold back and called Bai Qiu's phone, and the doubts in his heart couldn't be solved, as if he was scratching an ant.
Bai Qiu was sleepy on the phone, he said that he was a night driver, and he had to rest at home during the day, and he made an appointment with Yi Tian to meet downstairs in the hotel at ten o'clock in the evening.
The time during the day can't be wasted, originally Liu Xing wanted to take the two of them to visit several famous scenic spots in F City, but Yi Tian refused.
In extraordinary times, I believe everyone is not in the mood to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
After hesitating, Yi Tian decided to visit the old president of the People's Hospital, President Qi.
Although Dean Qi is 80 years old, his complexion is not bad, and his thinking is still clear.
He had an impression of Li Qiufang and Dean Bai of the welfare institute.
I have always praised Dean Bai as a very good person, but unfortunately good people do not live long, and in the 80s, he died of illness shortly after the dissolution of the welfare home.
Dean Qi said that in those years, many people's children could not afford to raise them, so they discarded them at the door of the welfare home, or abandoned them in the hospital.
Every year, many abandoned babies are sent to welfare homes, and of course, not only Tianfutang.
Generally speaking, the Tianfutang Welfare Institute was relatively large at that time.
Most of the abandoned babies in the hospital were sent to the Tin Fook Tong Welfare Home after reporting to the relevant parts.
I have to admire Dean Qi's memory.
Forty years ago, he said, the hospital wasn't huge.
When Yi Tian asked if there were any babies sent to the welfare home in 1978, Dean Qi thought for a moment.
The answer is yes.
By the time of 1978, people's living standards had generally improved.
There are far fewer incidents of abandoned babies.
That year, he remembered a pair of twin baby boys.
Twin baby boys who gave birth to particularly good-looking twins.
Dean Qi paused for a moment and then said, "No, it's not twins, it's triplets." ”
He said that that year, a special woman came to the hospital with a belly as big as a lo.
said that he and her husband came to F City to visit relatives, and there was still more than a month before the due date. Unexpectedly, it was probably a long-distance bus that moved the tire gas and gave birth ahead of schedule.
The delivery of this mother went particularly smoothly, and within an hour of arriving at the hospital, three baby boys with tiger brains were born.
Because they were triplets, two of them were relatively lightweight, so they were sent to the incubator.
The case of triplets is relatively rare, and the whole hospital knows about these triplets at that time.
Because the mother's family comes from a rural area and the economy is relatively difficult, the medical staff of the hospital donate money and donations.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the couple left two children in the incubator quietly out of the hospital.
The couple was illiterate and had no identification when they entered the hospital.
It's just that the medical staff registered a name, and it is said that the surname is Gao, and Dean Qi can't remember exactly what it is.
Later, after verification by the police station, the names and addresses left by the husband and wife were incorrect.
The two children were sent to the orphanage after spending a month in the incubator.
As for what happened later, Dr. Qi naturally didn't know very well.
As for the couple's relatives in F City, the dean said that he did not know very well, but he should not know who they were, otherwise the police station would not have been able to find them based on the couple's relatives.
Coming out of Dean Qi's house, Yi Tian had a guess, could Mike be one of the twins?
And the real clown will not be the other of the twins.
This basically explains why the Joker appears in F City, and Mike is seamlessly connected with the Joker not only in terms of body shape, but also in terms of voice.
And Mike knew that he was terminally ill and had little time to live, so he left the chance of life to his sibling to atone for the Joker.
With such an analysis, Yi Tian's mood was a little excited, and the truth seemed to be one step closer to his hypothetical direction.
Now he is only waiting to meet Bai Qiu in the evening, according to the time, Bai Qiu was almost eleven or twelve years old in 1978, at that time, he should know whether there were children adopted by foreign couples in the hospital.
Wang Tong and Xu Fan have been squatting for the past few days, and the two of them have not been cold, but now they are sympathetic to each other, and the relationship between the two has been sublimated very quickly.
On the last night, Liu Xing originally proposed to go out for a big meal together, which was also for Wang Tong and Yi Tianyang.
Yi Tian had something in his heart and refused.
Liu Xing no longer insisted, but Wang Tong and Xu Fan, the two of them were inseparable, and went to karaoke.
It's good to be quiet.
Stand in front of the hotel window and count the ticking of the hour hands.
When the hour hand was about to point to ten o'clock, he went downstairs to the hotel lobby, just waiting for the arrival of white autumn.
Bai Qiu was not punctual, it was 10:10, and he hadn't shown up yet.
Yi Tian understands that as a taxi driver, the customer comes first, and maybe he is delayed on the way to pull customers.
Sitting silently on the sofa, I read the promotional materials on the hotel promotional shelves several times.
The phone didn't ring, and the white autumn people didn't show up.
I called Bai Qiu's mobile phone, and it rang several times, but no one answered.
Another ten minutes passed, and Bai Qiu's phone still didn't answer.
A bad premonition hits, could it be that something happened to him?
On the side of the road outside the hotel, there were few vehicles, and Yi Tian stood on the side of the road for several minutes, and there were no taxis passing by.
Liu Xing is always the most reliable people's policeman, and he comes very quickly.
After contacting the Red Star Taxi Company, it was determined that Bai Qiu was driving a gray and blue FT1238 modern taxi.
The taxi company was also unable to contact Bai Qiu, but through the GPS location tracker, the taxi that tracked Bai Qiu was heading towards the outskirts of the city at this time, and it was running quite fast.
What the hell is going on this white autumn? He and Yi Tian agreed to meet downstairs in the hotel at 10 o'clock.
But now the time is pointing to 11 o'clock, and his car is getting farther and farther away from the city.
What was the reason why his phone couldn't get through?
talked to Bai Qiu's family on the phone, and Bai Qiu's wife said that Bai Qiu had told her about meeting Yi Tian before leaving the car today, and she had her mobile phone with her at any time.
At about 9:30, Bai Qiu also called home, because the youngest daughter of the family was about to take the college entrance examination in a few months, and he would call back every day at this time to care about his daughter's studies, and he didn't talk to his daughter anymore.
It could be heard on the phone that there should have been a guest in his car at that time. Because through the screen of the mobile phone, Bai Qiu's wife heard the sound of the taxi meter starting to count.
