Chapter Thirty-Nine: Another Photograph

It may be that the content of the two of us talking is too much, and the fat man, who has been gobbling up, stopped his chopsticks, took the photo from my hand and looked at it, I don't need to explain anything to the fat man, Tang Renjie's words plus these two photos, the fat man immediately understood what was going on.

"I'm going, there is such a coincidence?" The fat man exclaimed.

"Fat man, what kind of coincidence do you mean?" Tang Renjie looked at the fat man and asked.

"It's a coincidence. It's so clever that it feels unbelievable. The fat man said seemingly unintentionally, but in fact, I heard the meaning of his words, and he was reminding me not to trust Tang Renjie too much.

In fact, I don't need the fat man to say this, but I am now stunned by Tang Renjie's words and these two photos.

"That's what happened." Tang Renjie sighed, stood up, walked to me and pulled a chair and sat down, and said: "Later, after I knew that your father died, especially when I knew the day of his death, I was annoyed for a long time, because the more I thought about it, the more I blamed myself, when your father came to me on May 13th, as his best friend, I should have been able to see his problem, your father is a slow person, he talks very little in front of unfamiliar people, but he is very cheerful in front of friends, and he is a person who can often make everyone laugh, He came to me on May 13 but basically didn't speak, I didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that he was still uncomfortable because of the unarranged work, and persuaded him a few words. How to say, that day he was like a lost soul. ”

"Work?" I asked, "My dad is a farmer, where did he get his job?"

"At that time, the army was transferred to another job, and it was assigned to work, which was a difficult brother, but we were not arranged, and it was said that we should wait for the notice to find a suitable unit, but once this thing was shelved, it would be difficult to arrange it again." Tang Renjie said.

After Tang Renjie finished speaking, he half lay on the chair, looking not very happy, I looked at the fat man face to face, and the fat man saw that my heart fluctuated a lot at this time, and it was estimated that it was difficult to think rationally, where is he still in the mood to eat now? He opened his mouth and asked Tang Renjie, "So what do you mean?" ”

"Tianhua on the day of May, already knew that he was about to die, although he was cheerful in front of his friends, but emotionally he was a very restrained person, words like friendship lasts forever, you seem to feel that it is not a problem for friends to give so much, but I know him, usually he can't write or say such words, because he feels numb, coupled with his performance that day, I can imagine his mood at that time, he knew that he was going to die, so he wrote such words, and it is precisely because of the four words that friendship lasts forever, so that I never let go of his death. Tang Renjie said.

"The script is different." The fat man suddenly said this at this time.

Don't talk about Tang Renjie, even I wonder why the fat man suddenly came to say this.

"What script?" I asked.

"According to what Boss Tang said, later Boss Tang went to the sea to do business and made a fortune, and now he has become the richest man in the entire Luoyang City, and his father is your best brother, so you should have found their home a long time ago, and let the brother of the thief live a happy and happy life as the second ancestor, and then fight for the family property with your own son, and finally the brother of the thief voluntarily gave up the family property and took his beloved girl to a desert island to live a happy life, of course, there is also the possibility of meeting seven dwarfs." The fat man said.

I glared at the fat man and said, "Fatty, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

The fat man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fat man, did I say something wrong?" Isn't it all written in novels? ”

"Don't mess around." I said to the fat man.

Tang Renjie smiled: "It seems that the fat man doesn't believe Tang someone's words, Ye Zi, do you believe it?" ”

I don't know what to say, if it's just Tang Renjie's own words, I naturally don't believe a businessman who I don't have a good impression of, but with these two photos as evidence, I really don't know how to judge.

I closed my eyes, and the words of my eldest brother suddenly sounded in my head: a lie, if you want to be convinced, the best way is to be seven points true and three points false.

My intuition tells me that most of what Tang Renjie said is true, but some of it must be made up.

I opened my eyes and said, "I don't have a picture of my dad in my house, but you have it here, what else can I not believe?" You go on. ”

"Actually, I didn't say anything wrong about the fat man, but it's not that I didn't go to you later, it's just that your grandfather refused, and he was very taboo about me investigating your father's death, you can go back to your uncle to verify this, at first I didn't understand your grandfather, thinking he was cold-blooded, but then I found out that he might be protecting me. So over the years, I thought about helping you, but I couldn't help you, and then I found out that you lived well on your own, so I didn't bother you. Tang Renjie said.

"So did you find something? With Boss Tang's abilities? I looked at him.

"No, I went to check the news more from the police, but they made no progress, not because they didn't care, but because there was really no clue about this matter, and the perpetrators were too cunning. But then I found out something else, and I think you'll be very interested. Tang Renjie smiled mysteriously at me, and he returned to his seat and took out a brown paper bag containing a file from his briefcase.

I took the bag and opened it, the bag was not small, but it contained very few things, only a few pieces of paper and a photo, and when I saw the photo, I didn't even dare to open it, because the existence of the photo can be said to be naked evidence, and I am a little unacceptable to something that is too ironclad.

I'll look at the paper first, this is a handwritten missing person notice, this paper used to be the kind of red paper, that is, the kind of red paper that used to be used for happy events to cut paper, of course, it will also be used to write worship posts and other things, but because of the long time, the red paper has faded seriously.

The words on the paper are brush words, and the handwriting is relatively neat, and there are still many people who can write brush words in that era, and the content is similar to the ordinary missing person notice:

Looking for a woman, Xu Ailing, 21 years old, 1.63 meters tall, long hair, braided hair, wearing a red printed cotton jacket on the upper body, black cotton pants on the lower body, and a pair of red cloth shoes on the feet, was lost at the temple fair on March 25.

This missing person notice has no value, I put down the paper, picked up the photo, just glanced at it, I threw the photo directly.

The photo shows a woman pinching a sprig of flowers and wearing a ponytail.

Black and white photo.

It can be seen that the woman in the photo is very delicate. has the shyness and reserve that was unique to girls of that era.

In the photo, she smiled innocently and greenly.

The reason why I was so scared was because I knew the woman in the photo, and there were not many people who could recognize it in the village when I took this photo, but this face had been in my mind for twenty years, so I could see at a glance that this person was a fool.

Chen Shishi's foolish daughter-in-law.

"Accident, huh?" Tang Renjie looked at me and smiled.

I nodded, not hiding the shock in my heart, to be honest, regardless of whether Tang Renjie lied about my father's relationship with him before, it was worth my trip to see this photo and information.

"The woman in the photo, not stupid, in those days, if a fool got lost, many able-bodied people couldn't eat, and a fool would not post a missing person notice with great fanfare. Tang Renjie said.

"Not stupid?! How can it be?! "I was startled again, although the fool's smile before dying gave me the illusion that she was not stupid, but I just thought about it, how could a crazy woman who coaxed her unkempt all day with a nest not be stupid?

"I knew you'd be surprised." Tang Renjie said with a smile.

"The woman is from Nanyang, her name is Xu Ailing, and she was twenty-one years old when she went missing." Tang Renjie continued.

"I know that, you say I don't know." I'm more anxious, this time I'm really anxious!

"You listen to me slowly, this woman is from Nanyang Xinye Sanlitun, I later went to this village and saw this Xu Ailing's family, Xu Ailing lost her mother went crazy, and Xu Ailing This woman is a very famous girl in them, not only beautiful, but also good at female workers, so there are many people who know that she is lost, and everyone knows that the person who took her away is from Luoyang, in their words - Ailing was abducted by a fortune teller in Luoyang. It is precisely because of this that the Luoyang Police Department will have this information. Tang Renjie said.

"What fortune teller?" I wondered, abducting the fool, no, shouldn't it be Chen Shi who abducted this Xu Ailing?

"Back then, a fortune teller went to Xinye, because the calculation was accurate, and the fee was very small, and even a meal was fine, so there were many people who looked for him to tell his fortune, and Xu Ailing also asked her to tell her fortune, and their people said that it was the fortune teller who saw Xu Ailing's beauty, so he kidnapped this yellow flower girl." Tang Renjie said.
