Chapter 38: Prelude to the Beginning of the Heavenly Path (1)

At this time, Zhang Tianye had already broken out in a cold sweat, Ye Xinxin, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by the ringing of the phone, and urged Zhang Tianye to answer the phone quickly in a daze, so as not to affect her sleep, at this time Zhang Tianye was completely awakened, looked at the caller number on the mobile phone, and pressed the answer button with some hesitation.

Officer Liu's voice came from the other side of the phone: "Dr. Zhang, have you rested?"

Hearing Officer Liu's voice, Zhang Tianye knew that it must have something to do with the previous case, otherwise he wouldn't have called over in the middle of the night, and hurriedly returned: "I haven't rested yet, Officer Liu summoned in the middle of the night, is there anything that needs to be cooperated?"

Seeing Zhang Tianye asking so neatly and crisply, Officer Liu also said very simply: "There is really something that needs your cooperation, what is the relationship between you and Lin Zhengwei of Ganges Normal University for Nationalities"?

"Professor Lin, what's wrong"? Zhang Tianye asked in a somewhat hurried voice.

"It's not that Lin Zhengwei had an accident, it's that a person who had contact with him before died, and we found some relics on his body that have something to do with him", Officer Liu saw that Zhang Tianye was so nervous and directly told him the result.

Zhang Tianye asked a little incomprehensibly: "Then what does this matter have to do with me?"

"It's a big deal, I have taken a lot of photos of you, we can't confirm his identity yet, our police hope that you can come back as soon as possible to accept assistance in the investigation," Officer Liu said to Zhang Tianye after taking a deep puff of cigarette.

Zhang Tianye could also feel that when Officer Liu said this, he was obviously under a lot of pressure, so he had to tell him that he would actively cooperate with the investigation and go back tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

This time, Zhang Tianye knew in his heart that if he was a victim in the last case, then he was a suspect in this case, and these two cases are now related to him, and he can't help but be so nervous about Officer Liu, and he is also completely inseparable, if there is no tangible evidence, I am afraid that there is no way to leave Ganges City in the next half step.

After hanging up Officer Liu's phone, Ye Xinxin walked in front of Zhang Tianye with sleepy eyes, and asked with some fear, "Is it related to my uncle?" From her tone, Zhang Tianye knew that she was worried about Professor Lin's safety.

She has the right to know about this matter for Ye Xinxin, after all, she is one of the closest people to Professor Lin, after Zhang Tianye told Ye Xinxin about this matter, she was very angry, and she couldn't wait to fly back to Ganges City now to see if the dead person was the person described in her uncle's letter.

Zhang Tianye was afraid that Ye Xinxin would be impulsive, and he was doing something out of the ordinary, so after comforting Ye Xinxin lightly, he asked her to rest quickly, and go back early tomorrow morning.

After Ye Xinxin returned to the bed and lay down again to fall asleep, Zhang Tianye put the mobile phone on silent, and carefully looked at the book wrapped in kraft paper through the light, hoping to find some clues, but the mysterious feeling just now never appeared ...... again.

At about seven o'clock the next day, the sun shone on the glass window with a particularly dazzling light, and Zhang Tianye woke up to find that Qi Xin, who was sleeping on the bed next to him, was gone, along with his belongings, and even the Canghai Stone on the head of the bed and the book wrapped in kraft paper next to Zhang Tianye before going to bed were gone.

It's okay to say that the thing is gone, but Qi Xin's disappearance caught him off guard, Zhang Tianye's series of actions had already woken Ye Xinxin up, stretching his waist, and Ye Xinxin, who looked coquettish, said angrily: "Early in the morning, what are you doing, even if you are in a hurry to go back, you don't have to rummage through the cabinets like this, right?"

"You get up and take a look, Qi Xin is gone" Zhang Tianye walked into the bathroom without raising his head, but there was still no trace of Qi Xin inside, after Ye Xinxin got off the bed, he grabbed Zhang Tianye, put his hand on his forehead, and said to himself: "I don't have a fever, why am I confused."

The anxious Zhang Tianye didn't have time to mess around with Ye Xinxin, so he shook off her hand and said, "Qi Xin is missing, we have to find him quickly."

Ye Xinxin sat on the bed with a boring face, and said listlessly: "If one day, I also disappear, will you be so nervous?"

"Nonsense, one is my brother, and the other is mine" Halfway through the words, Zhang Tianye realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly changed the topic and said: "Don't make trouble, Qi Xin may be in danger, let's call the police quickly."

Ye Xinxin asked: "What am I yours, why don't you say it, if you say it, I will tell you where Qi Xin went."

"Hurry up and tell me where Qi Xin went" At this time, Zhang Tianye was not in the mood to mess around with Ye Xinxin at all, and held her shoulders tightly with both hands.

"You hurt me", Ye Xinxin struggled very aggrievedly, when did Zhang Tianye realize his gaffe, and hurriedly said: "I'm too anxious, don't you mind."

Ye Xinxin sat on the bed with tears in her eyes, put her hands together and said without raising her head: "Qi Xin, you left yesterday afternoon, you locked yourself in the house and took it all afternoon, last night, I didn't answer your phone no matter how I called, I was worried that something would happen, so I asked the waiter to open your door."

"This is impossible, obviously it was Qi Xin who fainted yesterday and you were present" A real sense of fear hit Zhang Tianye, and he looked at Ye Xinxin with some frustration.

"Are you brain-burned, when I came in last night, you had a high fever alone, and your mouth was talking a lot of nonsense, and others couldn't understand it, you see the wound on my neck, it was all pinched by you."

Ye Xinxin pressed down his collar, and several black blood stains appeared in front of him, and Zhang Tianye sat on the bed almost trembling.

After Ye Xinxin sorted out her clothes, she felt that something was indeed wrong with Zhang Tianye, poured him a glass of water, and asked, "What's wrong?"

After Zhang Tianye took the water cup, he took a few sips of water, picked up his phone, dialed Qi Xin's phone number, and a few seconds later, Qi Xin's voice came from the phone: "Hey, Zhang Shao, why don't you speak"?

After Zhang Tianye heard Qi Xin's voice, he was finally sure that he was safe, and then he put his heart down and said: "Monkey Canghaishi and that book wrapped in kraft paper, are you there"?

"Zhang Shao, what are you talking about, we didn't find anything in Mayin Mountain" Qi Xin's tone didn't seem like a joke, Zhang Tianye knew that he was definitely not lying, so he hurriedly changed the topic and hung up the phone after chatting casually for a few words, and began to doubt life.

Ye Xinxin on the side pouted: "You believe me this time, if it wasn't for me yesterday, I guess you would have burned into a pile of charcoal today."

But in the face of the scene in front of him, he couldn't figure out what happened to change the memories of the two people, and he didn't believe that what happened last night was fake.

You let me be alone, you can also go back to your room and clean up, and I will inform you later, today we will go back to the Ganges.

Although Ye Xinxin is usually high-flying, but today she knew that Zhang Tianye must have experienced something, so she didn't say a word, quietly closed the door, and walked outside alone.

After Ye Xinxin left, Zhang Tianye first flipped through his mobile phone call records, and at ten o'clock last night, there was indeed a call from Officer Liu, and not just one, there were three, but they were all missed calls, and Zhang Tianye was completely stunned.

He quickly put down his phone, took off his shirt, ran to the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and fell into shock again when he saw the map of the mysterious beast on his back.

The map on the back is still there, and all this doesn't look like a fake, but Qi Xin's feedback to himself is like he hasn't been to Mayin Mountain with him.

Zhang Tianye remembered that there was still vital information to prove all this, so he hurriedly walked to the bed and poured out the contents of his backpack, but except for the book "Miscellaneous Notes on the End of the Joke" and his notebook, there was nothing, and those temporary photos were gone.

"Where the hell did the books and stones go"? Even the scene he saw in the main hall before did not make Zhang Tianye feel so frightened, and when everything that happened in front of him could not be explained by science, it became terrifying.

Seeing that it was already nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Tianye didn't have time to think about anything, even if he had a big secret, he had to press it now, and the old pipe referred to in Professor Lin's letter might be the key to his breakthrough.

After Zhang Tianye forced himself not to think so much, he began to pack up his things, he only had one idea now, that is, to figure out what was going on, before notifying Ye Xinxin to meet in the hotel lobby, Zhang Tianye called Officer Liu, and the content of the phone seemed to have been set a long time ago, exactly the same as Zhang Tianye's memory.

The two of them arrived at the hotel lobby as promised, and after checking out, Zhang Tianye asked tentatively: "When Qi Xin was leaving, did he transfer the letter that Professor Lin wrote to me to you?"

"The letter is still with me, but I haven't had time to read it yet"? Ye Xinxin looked at Zhang Tianye with some confusion and took out the letter, "No need, you can take the time to read the content of the letter, we have to go back quickly, do you have the key to Professor Lin's house?"

After Zhang Tianye finished speaking, he pulled Ye Xinxin out of the door of the hotel and walked towards the long-distance bus station in Hualong County, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.

Ye Xinxin had too many questions along the way, and before she could ask, she was forced by Zhang Tianye to get on the bus to Xining City.

After getting on the bus to Xining City, Zhang Tianye told Ye Xinxin about her experience in Hualong County in the past few days, and she was about to drop her jaw when she heard it, and she didn't believe what Zhang Tianye said anyway.
