On the way to the return club, the door of the door to the more than Bin asked me how I was? I leaned against the window and said my head was a bit messy, and now I had a lot of clues at hand, and it was very complicated, and I needed a thread to connect them together.

And when I got to the newspaper office, the photos over there had already been sorted out.

I sat in front of an old-fashioned DELL desktop, looked at the negative, and suddenly understood why the father in the newspaper I saw was so young, because that photo was fucking "PS", that is to say, Meng Xiangxu was not mistaken, the corpse spots have always been on my father's body, no····· It should be said that it is the body of that team.

When I saw this, I didn't understand, aren't the corpse spots on my father's body the scales infected by the snake? Or is it really corpse spots, and everyone on their team has corpse spots? So what does this mean? Explain that it was an expedition of the living dead.

"Actually, there are some follow-ups about the original report." The person in charge of the publishing house, probably also for Zhou Xin's sake, pulled a stool and sat next to me and said: "Our interview, as well as the newspaper layout, were all paid by the people of the expedition team to invite us to do it. ”

"What?" I raised an eyebrow, taken aback.

"That's right, it was the people in the team who paid us to do it, and we originally planned to add a route map of their journey to it, but in the end it was not added because of layout problems."

In the rest of the conversation, we talked about the expedition back then, and as Meng Xiangxu said, those people were indeed wearing down jackets and big hats no matter what, and they were still a little stiff when they spoke.

"Wait!" Suddenly interrupted our conversation, he said, "Who was the person who negotiated with you and offered to conduct an interview?" ”

After saying that, he looked at me: "This is very important, and I have been wondering, why would someone make such a request, doesn't this amount to making their activities public?" After thinking about it for a long time, in fact, the answer is very simple, he just wants people to know that there was once a group of people in Erenhot who entered Mongolia. ”

As soon as Men Yue Bin said this, I immediately understood, my God, this is too simple a truth, the original expedition team was actually revealing its own course of action to the outside world, if someone wants to doxx, there will always be a day to track these down, after all, it is something that has been in the newspaper.

Just like we got here, they did it on purpose.

But about Men's question, the person in charge couldn't answer. Because now we need to investigate more things, such as when the expedition team contacted the newspaper, who was the contact person? Who approved the interview and published in the newspaper, this series has to be traced in depth.

But this is not a small project, 3 years have passed, the company's business projects have been replaced, a large number of employees have left and gone, and the records are very difficult to query.

However, he still said that this matter will be taken care of.

This kind of ambiguous answer made me die for a while, and I was thinking about whether to go to Russia to have a look, but Zhou Xin's eldest son was not happy, saying what kind of prevarication excuse do you have, you give a sentence, can you find out in a week?

The person in charge of the newspaper office heard that Zhou Dagongzi spoke, and counted with his fingers: "It should be possible, for half a month, I will let people contact them one by one." said that we could rest for a few days in Erenhot, and it would be regarded as a tour. ”

I waved my hand and said forget it, I'd better go back! Maybe there's something going on at home.

Sure enough, that night, the four of us were eating, and the second uncle called, saying that Lu Xing had found something over there, let us go over, and he said that the uncle had recently held an autumn sports meeting in the school, and he couldn't get out of it if he didn't have time, so I would just go with him.

I turned on the voiceover and played it to Menyue Bin, and I said yes. hung up the phone and said, "It's not that my brother doesn't give face, the clues over there are coming, I have to rush over to take a look." ”

Men Yuebin drank some wine, and the person in charge of the newspaper and Zhou Xin pushed the cup to change the lamp, so he ignored me and waved his hand: "You go back first, your brother and I are here to keep an eye on you, and I will tell you as soon as there is news." ”

————————————————

In this way, I caught the plane the next morning and went back, and when I arrived at home, my second uncle was already packing his clothes, and I asked him what was going on?

The second uncle said that there was another thing about that kind of tree branches in Guizhou, this time it was more serious and it was a dead person, saying that it was on the river surface of the Beipan River, and the deceased who was wrapped in branches was found, and they found someone to identify it, and those branches were on the same plant as the roots of the tree on your grandfather's car.

"Beipanjiang? Which place? ”

"Over there in Liupanshui, because that case involved your grandfather's affairs, Lu Xing was also transferred over for investigation."

"What did he say on the phone?" I chuckled, "Isn't that obvious?" There were dead people over there, and they suspected that it had something to do with our grandfather, so we went over and said that it sounded like participating in the investigation, but in fact, it was not being investigated by others. ”

Now I finally understand the reason why the second uncle didn't take the younger uncle there, he is a people's teacher, and if he is involved in this kind of investigation, it may have a big impact on his career.

"Don't ask, let's get on the plane, you hurry back and pack your things."

Helplessly, as a substitute for the dead, I thought to myself that it would be better to follow Menyue Bin to play a round in Erenhot. But what's the use of complaining, the police summoned, and not in a hurry, I set off from Nanchang at 9 o'clock in the evening, arrived at Longdongbao Airport at 12 o'clock, rested for a night, and the next day we arrived at the Yuezhao Airport in Liupanshui. After arriving at the airport, Lu Xing brought the local police in Guizhou to receive us, but fortunately they drove not a police car but a hitchhiker, otherwise it would really be a shame.

When I arrived at the police station, there was actually no major incident, that is, I roughly inquired about the news about my grandfather according to the process. I said I don't know, the little comrade over there was not happy, and he used a pen to point to the two rows of big characters on the wall, and told me, you are thinking about it.

I'm bitter in my heart, but my grandfather has almost cut off all contact with us for so many years, and I really can't say anything if I want to say it. At the critical juncture, the second uncle said it for me, and he roughly said some of the dynamics before his disappearance, and then the relationship with the Hu family, anyway, he memorized the confession from 20 years ago.

There was no accident, the conversation was hasty, and finally the police took out a document, let me and my second uncle also sign and press the handprint, we didn't think about it, just packed up our things and prepared to leave.

I glanced at my second uncle and opened my mouth to scold: "You are really not authentic, I originally thought that I was here for a tour, and my clothes were packed up in all sizes, but it was over in 30 minutes?" I don't care anyway, I won't go back, you take me around to have fun, or give the money directly. ”

The second uncle shouted "hey": "You are still talking about money with me, I don't know" relatives don't move money, and you can't move money'!" ”

I said, "Isn't that?" You rely on a bad thing and call me a nephew to accompany you, you feel better! ”

My second uncle and I are also relatively close, my father is gone, all these years have relied on his support, the two of us basically have something to say, all the way out of the door of the police station, but just out of the police station here, Lu Xing chased out of the car over there, he looked at us and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't want to let you run so far." ”

Although I was angry at this time, I couldn't vent it, so I was busy laughing: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

However, he was not ambiguous, and shook his thumb up: "Let's go, let's have a meal together at noon, and I happen to have something to tell you." ”

"That's fine!" The second uncle is thicker than me, so he agreed, and he didn't forget to give me a look, which clearly means that the cost is down!

After getting in the car, we found a nearby restaurant and made a few dishes, and Lu Xing opened the conversation: "In fact, the situation is not so simple, those corpses were only found last month, and there was an earthquake in the area of the Beipanjiang River, which was caused by human blasting in the mountain." After the blasting, the side of the mountain collapsed, and a petroglyph of the mountain was exposed. Lu Xing took a sip of Coke, "The time is still being calculated, but judging from the situation of those corpses, they have guns and weapons on them, and they should be a group of mercenaries, so we were wondering if Mr. Sheng was with them." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" I took a bite of food, "How old is my grandfather, and he still follows the mercenaries?" But what's on that picture? ”

"I don't know, but the investigation on my side is over, why don't I take you to see it in the afternoon?"

"Beipanjiang Canyon?" The second uncle asked.

"yes!"

"Yes, no problem!" The second uncle smiled and picked up the wine glass, touched it with me, blinked, full of pride, as if to say, look, the cost of travel has also come down.

In this way, we had a hurried meal, and Lu Xing drove us to that side in his jeep, where the rock paintings and corpses were found, in the Wumeng Mountain National Geopark on the Beipan River. It belongs to a canyon, flanked by primeval forests, untouched all year round, known as a crack in the earth.

Slowly we made it out of the city, and while driving all the way on the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway, I leaned to the window and looked at the mountains and clouds in my eyes, and I felt like I was flying in nature.

Three hours away, we along the G60 highway, through the Huangguoshu Waterfall, across the driving are frightening Baling River Bridge, Lu Xing is a competent tour guide, he slowed down the speed of the car to tell us that the Baling River under the bridge, in Langgong Village and Dabang River merge into the Beipan River, this piece of the river is a tributary of the Beipan River, and among them there is the largest drop in Guizhou, Huangguoshu Waterfall.

I listened for a while, looking at the landscape on both sides of the strait, feeling the feeling of running in the clouds, and couldn't stop taking out my mobile phone to take a few photos.

The temperature in this area of Guizhou is low, the air pressure is high, and every time it rains in the mountains, those clouds will be pressed down little by little. Layer by layer, there is a feeling of ascending to the sky in one step. They shade the sun and the air is full of moisture. A clear blue sky can only be seen where the clouds are vacant.

"There is a parking observatory on the east side of the bridge, do you want to go and have a look!" Lu Xing opened the window and turned up the stereo in the car to the maximum, and a song "IHateMyselfForLovingYou" immediately ignited the atmosphere, he followed the beat of the storm, stepped on the accelerator, and the sound of the motor was like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring. After a short time, I walked to the bridge, and the cross wind in the canyon penetrated me, mixed with the explosion of JoanJett's singing, which made me completely immersed in the natural atmosphere of Guizhou.

I completely rolled down the rear window, leaned on the window, and watched the Beipan River under the bridge be squeezed into a narrow river by the cliffs of the two mountains, like a bright belt winding eastward.

Gradually, we drove across the bridge, and instead of stopping, we headed deeper into the canyon. Passing through the first bay of the Beipan River, the chain bridge finally truly stepped into this primeval forest.

Lu Xing said: "The people who found the bodies were tourists, and they were taking pictures on the shore, and they watched the two bodies float down the river. They seem to be Russians, blonde and blue-eyed, and they don't know how they came to the mainland to shoot Wolf Warrior 3? ”

I smiled and said, "Oh yes, how do you know they're mercenaries?" ”

Lu Xing shook his head, it seemed that some secrets were involved, and he chose to avoid this topic. At this time, the second uncle barreled me beside me and signaled me not to talk nonsense.

But I think about it, now that tree has already involved grandpa and those gringos, and we have to avoid suspicion on the same topic. I recalled that when I was in the Public Security Bureau, those comrades, but they all thought that my grandfather drove for those mercenaries, and asked us vigorously, why do you drive trucks? Is there any cargo being delivered? Although I was confused and confused at the time, but now if we inquire more deeply, maybe Lu Xing will still think that we are preparing for inquiring about the news?

After a while, we got off the bridge and walked into a rugged mountain road that was inaccessible, the mountain road winded, suddenly into the forest, suddenly near the river, the scenery in my eyes was also flickering and changing, sometimes I saw the peak of the canyon towering like a cloud as if connecting the sky, and sometimes I saw the roaring river under me endlessly.

After walking along the mountain road for more than 1 hour, I finally reached a platform. Under the platform is the Beipan River, the river rushes down, the sound is roaring, even from such a distance, you can hear it clearly.

After getting out of the car, the platform was full of people, and there was a cordon around it, I raised my head and the clouds in the sky pressed down a few points, they floated in the canyon, Lu Xing did not take us over, but handed the second uncle a telescope from the car, took us to avoid the towering trees, and found a place on the edge of the canyon that was better than the field of vision, let us see it ourselves.

The second uncle picked up the binoculars and looked at the petroglyphs on the opposite side.

And I looked over there with my naked eyes, the petroglyphs, although the scale is relatively large, but after all, the canyon is still separated by such a wide distance, I can not see the reason from those gray lines for a while, only to see the opposite mountain, at this time there are many archaeologists, they are hanging ropes, holding brushes to sweep the rocks and soil, are cleaning the murals little by little.

"Do you see anything?" I asked the second uncle.

"Like, it looks like it's about trees!" He rubbed his eyes and handed me the binoculars.
