If you look closely, there are several similar photos in the frame, and this person who looks almost exactly like the antique Li is standing intimately with him.

"Curator Yang, does Antique Li have a twin brother?"

Zhang Kailong asked Yang Guoshan.

"This ...... I really don't know. ”

Yang Guoshan said that the antique Li named Li Guohua, was transferred from the provincial museum five years ago, according to the state regulations he has passed the retirement age, he took the initiative to apply, although this matter is somewhat incomprehensible, the leader is naturally happy, others have only discussed it for a few days.

Antique Li is easy-going and very capable, and in a leisurely unit like the Cultural Center, he is very busy.

On the surface, he seems to be very familiar with everyone, but in fact, there is no one who really understands him, and the doorman Lao Sun has more contact with him, but when he asks about the past and his family situation, Antique Li always laughs haha.

After a long time, everyone didn't bother to ask him again.

……

Hearing Yang Guoshan say this, Zhang Kailong and I felt that there was something wrong with this old man.

The files of the employees of public institutions were placed in the archives of the Personnel Bureau, and Yang Guoshan opened a "check the application form for the employees of the museum", stamped the official seal, and led us to the archives.

The staff found the antique Lee file, and to our confusion was that it was just a brown paper bag that was not too thick.

There won't be anything missing, right? Yang Guoshan asked the archivist, under normal circumstances, such a veteran worker would have a thick stack of files.

The administrator said that the files of such transferred personnel were what they were like when they came, and they should still be what they should be now, especially the files of old workers like Antique Li, which basically no one will read from beginning to end.

With a mind full of doubts, we opened the file bag.

There were more than a dozen pages in the file bag, which had been yellowed, showing that they were some years old.

The first page is a handwritten household registration material, and after just one glance, Yang Guoshan was amazed.

It reads: Li Guohua, male, born on September 8, 1936, in Lijiatunzi Village, Yihe Town, Hekou District, XX City, XX Province.

This Lijiatunzi is also a small local village, only more than 30 miles away from the old temple.

Antique Lee turned out to be a local? This made everyone unexpected, since they are locals, there should always be a few relatives and friends in their hometown, right?

But in the past five years, he has not returned to Lijiatunzi once, nor has he contacted the villagers.

What made us gasp even more was a political review material.

In the mid-50s, Antique Li had already entered the ban, but in the 70s, he was expelled from the ban.

The content of the two handwritten materials is relatively vague, saying that the antique Li "family relationship is not clean".

Yang Guoshan and Zhang Kailong looked at it again, this time they looked more carefully, and sure enough, they found another piece of valuable information: population number, five!

Zhang Kailong said that this information is very important, and he needs to go to the hometown of Antique Li and ask about Antique Li's family situation.

As soon as we left, we drove to Lijiatunzi, which is a very closed village, close to the Yellow River.

Police cars open the road, naturally twice the result with half the effort, this is my country's characteristics!

The secretary of the Li family is an old man surnamed Liu, and he entertained us very warmly.

"A few police officers, if there is anything you can do to help, just say it!"

Liu Laohan poured tea and served fruit again, and there were thick old skins on his face, and he kept laughing.

"Secretary Liu, let's ask something - there is a person named Li Guohua in your village?"

Li ...... Guohua? There is no such person! ”

Old man Liu thought for a while and replied.

"Think again? He was in his early seventies...... Should have moved out early......"

"That's it! Then I'll ask an old man in the village, he should know! ”

Li Laohan seemed to be fifty or sixty years old, and the old man he was talking about was an old man with silver hair and white beard.

The old man walked into the village branch with a smile and was very talkative at first glance.

"You are talking about Li Guohua, but there are three brothers and sisters?"

The old man listened to our introduction and asked rhetorically.

"yes!"

Zhang Kailong replied.

I thought, no! A family of five, isn't it just three children!

Hearing us say "yes", the old man's face changed instantly.

"Let's go! There is no one named Li Guohua in our village! ”

Seeing that the old man's attitude had taken a 180-degree turn, Liu Laohan was very embarrassed, pulled the old man, and said in a low voice:

"This is the ...... of the Public Security Bureau in our district"

Who knew that the old man didn't buy it directly, and looked at each other angrily:

"The Public Security Bureau's can't do it either! No is no ...... Hurry up and get them out of ......"

Liu Laohan was stunned, he didn't expect that the old man who had always been kind and kind would lose his temper inexplicably.

The old man glanced at a few of us, his face sank, he sighed, and threw up his sleeves and rushed out the door.

Before leaving the door, he suddenly turned around, glared at me deadly, and said in an extremely low voice:

"There are many things in this world that you won't understand, and curiosity will kill cats!"

The old man's words were like a mystery, which made Zhang Kailong and I even more eager to find out the mystery.

Later, Liu Laohan found a few elderly people in the village, but as soon as he heard that we were asking Li Guohua, the other party immediately turned his face.

There was no way, we had to leave Lijiatunzi and go to the Yihe Town Police Station.

In fact, this is also a rush to the doctor, under normal circumstances, this kind of household registration is moved, the local police station will delete the person's remaining files, especially the old files from decades ago, all handwritten, it is estimated that they have long been sold as waste paper.

When he arrived at the police station, Director Sun Jingshui bowed his head even more, because it was a relationship between superiors and subordinates, things were much simpler.

"Team Zhang, according to what you said, this person's file should be the first batch of household registration information collected after liberation, and it may not be able to be found......

Sun Jingshui said a little embarrassed.

"I know this, you ...... Try your best! ”

Next, Sun Jingshui called at least half of the workers in the group and went to a few warehouses in the backyard that had been abandoned for a long time.

There are discarded archives left over the years, and they are a mess that fills up three rooms.

Sun Jingshui asked the staff in the institute to surround them.

He coughed lightly twice, and then spoke: "Everyone, I received an order from the District Public Security Bureau that we need to find an old household registration file, which ...... This person is from the Li family, named Li Guohua, born in 1936......"

Before Sun Jingshui finished speaking, the crowd began to discuss.

"Archives of 1936...... Can you still find it? ”

"It's hard to say whether this person is still alive or not......

Sun Jingshui, his brows tightened, and his voice raised:

"It's a job, it's a task, and no one can be emotional!"

It's like an official authority.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked Zhang Kailong: "Team Zhang, do you have anything else to add?" ”

At this moment, he became smiling again.

More than a dozen people began a carpet search, and they were busy until the lights were on, and one of them, a fat man with glasses, shouted excitedly:

"Li Guohua? Li Guohua of Li Jiatunzi? I...... I found it! ”

Suddenly, everyone, including me and Zhang Kailong, surrounded me, and I think they were also curious: What kind of file is this, and the captain of the special case team of the District Public Security Bureau came to find it in person......

It was indeed an old file, a kind of pale yellow old-fashioned file bag, which was rarely seen these days.

The file bag was handed over to Zhang Kailong, and under the curiosity of everyone, he was taken to the director's office.

"Team Zhang, you sit!"

Sun Jingshui pulled away his boss chair.

"No, I'll just sit here!"

Zhang Kai didn't have a bag at the head, and while opening the button of the file bag, he sat on the chair opposite.

The old-fashioned household registration file was very simple, all handwritten, similar to the later electronic household registration file format.

Zhang Kailong opened the file and turned to the "Family Member Index Page".

Even Sun Jingshui surrounded him curiously.

"Ahh What's going on? ”

"Holy! Make a mistake! ”

……

Several of us exclaimed.

There are indeed five family members on the index page, but only three of them have their names.

One Zhang Zhenmei (look at the date of birth, it should be the mother of the antique Li), one Li Guohua (the difference of one word, look at the date of birth, it should be the sister of the antique Li), and the names of the other three people turned out to be Li Guohua.

If it weren't for the different date of birth at the back, I really thought it was a mistake.

Looking at the date, the first Li Guohua was born in 1911, which should be the father of the antique Li, and the second and third Li Guohua were both born in 1936.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, I suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment: the two brothers were born in the same year, aren't they twins?

"Antique Li really has a twin brother! Looks like he was the one who attacked you last night! ”

Zhang Kailong's face was iron-blue, and even a little hideous.

He raised his head and asked Sun Jingshui: "Director Sun, why is this happening?" ”

In fact, Zhang Kailong and Sun Jingshui both belong to the public security department, and they are at the same level, Zhang Kailong is in the district, and he naturally has more contact with big leaders, so Sun Jingshui respects him like a leader.

Officialdom probably looks like this!

Sun Jingshui also looked puzzled, and replied embarrassedly: "I...... It's also the first time I've seen such archives, all from the sixties and seventies, so I guess I'm mistaken! ”

Zhang Kailong snorted lightly, obviously dissatisfied with this coping rhetoric.

I suddenly remembered Chen Laosan, when my grandmother knew his name, she actually said, "Are your father and grandfather also called Chen Laosan?"

Could it be that Chen Laosan and Antique Li have anything in common? But in any case, it is impossible for brothers, fathers and sons to use the same name, right?

With doubts in our minds and in the dark of the night, we returned to the special task force of the Public Security Bureau.

"Xiao Zhen, what do you think?"

When there were only the two of us left in the room, Zhang Kailong suddenly asked me.

"You mean the antique Lee thing?"

I asked rhetorically.

"There must be something wrong with this man! His family, his experiences, seemed to be deliberately erased. ”

Before I could reply, the phone in Zhang Kailong's office rang suddenly.

Zhang Kailong picked up the phone, said "mmmmmmmm

"What's the matter, Brother Long?"

"Dead again! This is the eighth one! ”
