Chapter 397: Fruitless
Last night, Gu Changqing had already marked each address on the envelope on the map, and also drew the most likely circle for her according to the distance.
Today she went to this area. She spends most of the day here. I looked at the streets and alleys.
It is unlikely that the person who actually wrote these letters was behind them. It must have been copied by some random people found by the man.
Judging from the fact that the two letters were written in the same handwriting, the man did not let them write and send them, but wrote them, received them, and went out to send them himself.
He wants the newspaper and the Quality Supervision Bureau to receive more reports, so that they can attract attention.
These mailing addresses are all in the North Side, and he should live here too.
But just knowing this, trying to find someone is also looking for a needle in a haystack. So, she had to find a way to narrow it down even more.
After running like this for a day, she didn't have any clue. As soon as she returned to the store in the evening, An Hao told her that Li Yu had come.
said that he had made an appointment with someone from the Quality Supervision Bureau, and he wanted to ask her to sit with her at night and talk about it.
There's no hiding from it. She immediately called Li Yu, determined the time and place of the evening, and hung up the phone and she went.
The dinner that night was quite pleasant, the other party was a friend of Li Yu's friend, although he turned a few layers of relationships but people are easier to communicate, of course he didn't say that this matter was over on behalf of the unit, but gave Xu Tian buffer time, promised not to check in the store for the time being, and did not make any movements, only asked her to send samples of the clothes in the store for testing.
This is a normal request, Xu Tian didn't agree without a word. After the dinner, Li Yu's friend sent the man back, and here Li Yu acted as the driver to send Xu Tian.
Both the newspaper and the Quality Supervision Bureau were suppressed, Xu Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to Beicheng a few more times.
This time she went to the post office here. Here are a few letters sent from the post office, not from a curbside mailbox.
Roadside mailboxes are unattended, post offices are manned. Maybe you can ask something.
This was her idea, and in order to ask questions smoothly, she also borrowed a press card from reporter Chen.
Most people go to the post office and ask, and they will definitely not tell you anything. It's much more convenient to hang up a press card, at least to prove that she has a serious unit and is not a bad person.
When everything was ready, she stepped through the door of the post office.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as she had hoped. I ran to several post offices in different places in the morning, but I didn't ask anything.
Most of the other party was too busy to take care of her, and she was very impatient without asking a word. Others are idle and unwilling to deal with her, thinking that she is disturbing them.
After running down in the morning, my legs were about to break, and I didn't ask for anything useful.
On this day, she didn't eat from morning to two or three o'clock in the afternoon. After running through these few houses, I found a dumpling restaurant and sat down.
When she was waiting for the dumplings, she spread out the map booklet that Gu Changqing had prepared for her again, crossed out one by one, and finally her eyes fell on the last two points.
There are only two left, and I have to ask if it will be successful today.
She thought.
After a quick bowl of dumplings, she grabbed the bag again.
The first one still didn't ask anything, she went to the second one a few streets away, and the person on duty inside was knitting a sweater, and when he saw her come in, he was very impatient to see her come in, and he didn't even raise his head and asked her what she wanted to send?
"Eldest sister, I don't send anything, I want to ask something, I'm from the newspaper."
Xu Tian leaned on the counter and held up the press card in his hand.
"Newspaper?"
The eldest sister raised her head suspiciously, and there was an extremely impatient expression on her face in an instant:
"What for?"
"That's right, a few days ago, our society received a report from the masses. I would like to ask, do you have an impression of this person? ”
Xu Tian took out the envelope and handed it to the eldest sister.
The eldest sister glanced perfunctorily at the cover of the envelope, her face lowered again, and her fingers knitted the sweater quickly and flexibly.
"Nope."
Cherish words like gold, and I don't have the patience to say more than one word.
This is the last one. If she couldn't ask any more about the name, she really didn't know how else to find this person.
Now that this matter is suppressed, the newspaper will definitely not report it, and it will not be in the future. Although the Quality Supervision Bureau did not say that they would not come to the door to check in the future, as long as the sample test is passed, it will not be a big problem to strive for it in the future.
The problem is that this person who wants to make trouble is like a time bomb, if he doesn't dig it out, who knows when he will do something more.
Thinking of this, Xu Tian was a little anxious, and looked at the eldest sister who had lowered her head and her fingertips were flying, and said:
"Eldest sister, think about it, just a few days ago."
"What do you think? I have to watch so much in a day, how can I remember? Really, are you okay? If you're okay, let's go. I'm still busy. ”
The eldest sister urged impatiently.
It's past 4 o'clock, and it's time to go to work. This post office is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are not many people. What does she have to keep busy?
Xu Tian is on fire.
"Comrade, it's 4:35 p.m., you don't seem to have gotten off work yet, right? You're knitting sweaters here before you get off work. Oh, the work system of your post office is still flexible. Okay, why don't I report it to you. Let's just say that a female employee of the post office in Fushu Street is knitting sweaters at work, what do you think? ”
“……”
The eldest sister was stunned into a stone carving.
How did she forget that this person was a journalist?
She is the only woman in their unit, and this report is out, and you don't even have to guess to know who it is.
"You, why are you like this?"
The eldest sister was very unhappy, her tone and expression became more and more aggrieved, and she didn't dare to be as irritable as she was just now.
"How am I?"
Xu Tian sneered: "I'll ask you about it, and you will knit a sweater." I don't want to embarrass you. If you don't cooperate, I have to think of a way. ”
The wicked will be grinded by the wicked.
Sure enough, the eldest sister's face was extremely aggrieved, and her eyebrows were twisted like a thick black hemp rope.
"Okay, okay, which, I'll see."
She confessed.
Xu Tian handed the envelope again:
"Sent to the Yuncheng Evening News. Do you have an impression of this address? ”
"What? Cloud City Evening News? ”
A voice suddenly came out of the side and startled Xu Tian.
Her attention was on the eldest sister at the counter, and she didn't notice an old man coming out of the side door next to her, carrying a broom and dustpan in his hand, as if he was in charge of cleaning.
Listening to his tone, Xu Tian's heart was overjoyed.
"You know?"
"I don't know if it's or not."
The old man held his broom and thought for a while: "A few days ago, someone came to send a letter. I walked in a hurry, and I didn't look at the road with my head bored. At about this point, I was cleaning, thinking that I would finish cleaning early and go home from work, but I didn't pay attention to it, and I bumped into him all of a sudden.
The thing in his hand fell to the ground, and I thought I had accidentally picked it up for him, and then glanced at the recipient's address. It seems to be some kind of newspaper. I don't know if it's the one you're asking. ”
"Really? Do you remember what that man looked like? ”
Xu Tian asked in surprise.
