Chapter 202: Suspicions
I pulled Hua Hu away, sat her down, and then smiled awkwardly at Wen Tingxu and asked, "There have been a lot of things recently, we still have to plan it." ”
It makes sense for me to say this, although I want to take Hua Yu out for a walk, but I still have to wait for Shen Yu's opinion tomorrow.
"No problem, but the sooner the better! I've got the money and the equipment ready. As soon as you can find time, I'll go with you then. He couldn't hide his excitement, "I've been preparing for so many years, just for this time." ”
I nodded again. What Wen Tingxu said is very reasonable, but I have experienced several major cases, especially Xu Chuyue, and I no longer blindly believe in other people's words.
I don't suspect that Wen Tingxu is lying to me, I am only afraid of one thing - that is, in the long years, his memory may have been rewritten by his own emotions.
In fact, this situation is not uncommon, once people form a very strong emotion, they will repeatedly strengthen their one-sided cognition through consciousness.
When Wen Mushan and his wife disappeared, Wen Tingxu was just a child, and his parents left him in the vast frontier without relatives and no reason - this is a heavy blow to any child.
Children who are unable to support themselves depend on the love of their parents to survive. Therefore, the loss of father's or mother's love will leave an indelible mark on the child's growth, and no child will believe that his parents will abandon him.
However, it is not satisfactory to judge Wen Mushan's disappearance as a defection with Baobao.
First of all, there is no direct evidence that Wen Mushan is the murderer of Wang Tuda - Wang Tuda was killed by a small archaeological hammer, and from Wen Tingxu's account, there is no claim that the police determined that Wen Mushan's fingerprints or personal biometric information were on the hammer.
If the police collected this, they would definitely explain it as key evidence when the case was decided, but after hearing Tingxu's statement, they did not mention this matter - the weather in the desert area is extreme, and it is possible that the biological information has been destroyed, and there may be no clues about Wen Mushan at all.
Second, there is no direct evidence that Wen Mushan killed and buried nine migrant workers, including Fei Tang and Huang Shanbao. In fact, even their bodies have not been found, and there is no way to prove whether they are dead or alive.
Third, there is no direct evidence that Wen Mushan and his wife were the ones who passed through the pastures of the Yarkand River valley and crossed the Karasu Pass. The herdsmen did not describe the appearance of the tall and short passers-by, and the tweed coat at the Karasu Pass was even more unusual - would a person throw away his most important warm clothes when climbing over the frozen snow-capped plateau?
I know that Wen Tingxu must be trying to follow the trail of his parents.
Indeed, more than 20 years have passed, and the rumors of the original incident have long passed, and as long as they are alive, whether they were treasure thieves or have other secrets, they will definitely come back to see their only son.
But Wen Tingxu has not heard any news of them so far, so it seems unlikely that the two are still alive.
Thinking of this, thinking about Wen Tingxu, who has been an "orphan" since he was a child and has been bearing the burden of humiliation, I can't help but soften my heart again.
"Don't worry, brother, as soon as my side is confirmed, I will give you the news immediately."
Wen Tingxu smiled with relief, probably because the things in his heart were finally settled, and he was inevitably a little excited.
He sat there for a moment before he added, "You know, I'm a man who doesn't like to ask for help. As for the rest...... After all these years, I have no illusions. ”
The two of us had a drink, and he suddenly stared at my cup and asked, "You kid, what's in the cup?" ”
"Grape juice. I asked the waiter for it. I laughed.
"You're so funny! Are you still afraid that I won't be able to drink poor?! ”
I pointed at Hua Hu: "Aren't you going to drive her back later?" ”
Wen Tingxu also laughed, because Hua Yu didn't know if he was greedy for a cup or sleepy, so he was already asleep on the table.
Wen Tingxu called the waiter at the Songyin Mountain House, handed over a credit card, and said politely, "I'm delayed getting off work today", and then took out a stack of red banknotes and stuffed it to her, telling her that this was a tip for overtime service.
Probably he was a regular customer here, but the waiter didn't mind, she smiled and took the credit card and money, and ran to the front to check out.
To be honest, I'm really happy for Wen Tingxu's transformation, although he has lost a lot of edges and corners, but after all, he has become a kind person.
I picked her up and walked out, still babbling in her sleep.
"The wine is good, the food is delicious, tsk ......"
Wen Tingxu looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "Detective Shen is testing my sincerity today, right?" ”
"Alas," I quickly sighed and said, "Some time ago, she didn't have a car accident, and then she ate a lot of food, and it is estimated that she was lacking in nutrition, but after eating, she regretted it, she always overate one day, and desperately lost weight the next day." ”
"It's normal among girls." Wen Tingxu smiled, "However, it's still quite cute, she should be a carefree person, right-use me to ask the driver to take you home?" ”
"No, I don't drink alcohol, I can drive." I hastened to reject his proposal.
"Okay, then I won't bother too much - when you decide to go to Ye City, just talk to me in advance, and let's leave as soon as possible."
I nodded, and was about to wave goodbye to him, when I noticed people on the side of the road pointing to the sky, as if whispering something, and some of them were holding up their mobile phones to take pictures and videos.
I looked up too, and I couldn't help but be amazed—
Today is about around the time of the moon, and the moon in the sky is round and large, clear and bright, and spreads all over the world.
But there is nothing unusual about this, what is strange is that there is another huge halo around the full moon, and not far from the halo, there is a smaller moon!
What's even more strange is that the moon is faintly glowing crimson!
I was simply shocked by this heavenly spectacle, and I couldn't help but hold Hua Hu and stop and look up.
At this time, Wen Tingxu walked over, he also looked up at the sky, and then patted me on the shoulder and said: "Moon halo, phantom moon, it's just a natural phenomenon, a few days ago, didn't there be a 'blood moon'?" At that time, there was still a lot of hype on the Internet, and some people still said nonsense such as doomsday signs, which was really unancient and demonic and frequent. ”
A blood moon?
Wen Tingxu's words suddenly reminded me - the day of the ambush on the back man, didn't it happen to be a blood moon?
At that time, we also deduced that the blood moon had something to do with the backstabbing man stealing the pot, and it belonged to the category of "Jiuyao".
And the current phantom moon, is it also related to the blood moon?
As soon as this thought popped into my mind, I couldn't help but laugh - I really seem to have been diagnosed with an occupational disease recently, thinking about things and wondering all day long, and I can't even find a connection between the two natural phenomena.
