Chapter Twenty-Six: Is It Really Just a Coincidence?
The biggest difference between the south and the north is the temperature.
In mid-August, the north is already cool, and the south has just begun autumn. In the south, the temperature varies greatly between day and night, and a jacket is worn at night.
When Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan arrived at the airport, it was already eight or nine o'clock, the temperature was a little low, it had just rained a few days ago, and now the air was still a little humid. The airport was ventilated on all sides, Lin Fan wore a short-sleeved shirt, opened the car door, a gust of wind blew, and he was still shivering from the cold.
Lin Fan took out his mobile phone and looked at it and said, "Today's flight is delayed, and it is estimated that she will arrive late." Zhang Tian lit the last cigarette on his body and asked, "Do you know what her name is?" ”
Lin Fan opened the mailbox and looked at it and said, "It seems to be called Wu Shengnan...... Zhang Tianyi took the phone and found that the reporter's mailbox was [email protected].
Zhang Tianyi went to the store next to him to buy a pack of cigarettes, and by the way, he bought two buckets of instant noodles and beckoned Lin Fan to come over to warm up.
Lin Fan tore open the seasoning packet and said while boiling water to the faucet, "But there won't be any danger over there, right?" ”
Zhang Tianyi covered the instant noodles and leaned his back against the pool and said, "Don't worry, the police officers in the whole town are on alert, and they will notify us as soon as there is any disturbance." ”
Zhang Tianyi's words were like a reassuring pill, and Lin Fan's heart slowly relaxed after hearing it. Lin Fan was just about to eat two bites of instant noodles when his mobile phone rang, so he put down the bubble and said a few words to the phone.
Lin Fan hung up the phone and said, "She has arrived and is now preparing to get off the plane." As soon as Zhang Tian heard this, he rushed over after picking up a few mouthfuls of noodles, and Lin Fan also followed closely.
There are not many people picking up the plane at this point, but there are quite a few people getting off the plane. Zhang Tianyi looked at the crowd in front of him and asked, "Which one is her?" Lin Fan shook his head and said he didn't know either.
"Forensic Doctor Lin?" Just as Lin Fan was looking left and right, there was an inquiry in his ears, and a girl in her early twenties walked up to him with a shoulder bag and a leather coat.
Lin Fan looked at the girl and asked tentatively, "Are you Miss Wu?" ”
"I'm sorry to recognize the wrong person...... "The girl dragged her suitcase and left. Zhang Tianyi saw the camera around her neck, asked her to wait, and then asked, "You are the female reporter, right?" ”
The girl nodded and took off her sunglasses and said, "That's right, you guys are ......?" ”
"I am Lin Fan, the forensic doctor of Ping'an Town who contacted you at the forum, and I am fortunate to meet ......," Lin Fan said and stretched out his hand to welcome.
The girl didn't seem to want to shake hands, but straightened her shoulder-length short hair and said unhurriedly: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Wu Shengnan, a newspaper reporter from Huaxing Society, Guangfu Province." ”
After hearing this, a row of black lines appeared on Lin Fan's forehead, no wonder people refused to shake hands with him, and dared to change his name and surname to others.
The female reporter's name is Wu Shengnan, but Zhang Tianyi thinks that this name is quite suitable for her, clean and straightforward, and she looks very capable in her dress.
"This is ......," Wu Shengnan looked at Zhang Tianyi and asked. Lin Fan smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce you, this is Zhang Tianyi, the director of the Ping'an Town Police Station." ”
"Director Zhang is really young and promising." Wu Shengnan's words are not polite, after all, Zhang Tianyi looks not much different from a recent graduate. Wu Shengnan crossed the warning line and walked over and said, "I don't know what instructions you two have for me to come all the way?" ”
Zhang Tianyi wanted to help Wu Shengnan with his luggage, but he stretched out his hand but was ignored by her, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so he smiled and said: "I can't talk about the instructions, I just want to ask you for a favor." ”
Wu Shengnan smiled a little inexplicably and said: "Zhang Suo is promoted, I am just a small reporter in a small newspaper, not as powerful as you think." ”
Zhang Tianyi put Wu Shengnan's luggage into the trunk, then closed the trunk door and said: "We won't say much politely, I don't know if the martial arts reporter knows to go to the dirt gate?" ”
Wu Shengnan was not surprised by Zhang Tianyi's question, nodded and said, "I don't know much." ”
"Then can I take the liberty of asking the martial artist where that photo was taken?" After Zhang Tianyi finished speaking, he stared at Wu Shengnan's face intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Shengnanyun said lightly: "There is a mountain in Bashu." ”
Zhang Tianyi said with a smile: "In the past few years, Bashu has not been peaceful, especially in some deep mountains that have not yet been set foot in, and martial arts reporters are really rushing to the forefront of the people." ”
"What does Director Zhang mean by that?" Wu Shengnan asked meaningfully, then turned to Zhang Tianyi and continued: "Director Zhang, don't forget, I'm just here to assist you in handling the case. ”
Lin Fan saw that the two of them were secretly competing, so he hurriedly came out to play a round, and drove the car over after greeting him twice.
However, Wu Shengnan did not plan to go back to Ping'an Town with Zhang Tianyi, so he asked Lin Fan to send it to a nearby hotel to get his luggage and get out of the car, and when he left, he asked Zhang Tianyi for a contact information and said that he would go over tomorrow.
Zhang Tianyi didn't hold back anymore, and told Wu Shengnan the route to enter the town and followed Lin Fan on the highway.
Zhang Tianyi was smoking cigarettes one after another in the car, and Lin Fan saw Zhang Tianyi's tightly knit brows through the rearview mirror in the car and felt that he had something on his mind, so he asked, "What do you think?" ”
Zhang Tianyi threw out the cigarette butt, closed the car window and said, "Do you believe that the photo of the Tumen sacrifice is from her?" ”
Raindrops gradually fell in the sky, Lin Fan said with a windshield wiper: "Don't underestimate her, although Xinhua News Agency is a media that has only risen in recent years, it can be regarded as a leader among its peers in Guangfu Province." Lin Fan turned his turn signal, turned a corner, and said, "Do you remember last year's corpse oil processing plant incident?" ”
"Uh-huh." Zhang Tian nodded. In order to make money, some unscrupulous businessmen built a processing factory in the suburbs of Quang Phuoc Province. From listed catering companies to small workshops along the street, they all have their business networks, but in the end, they were reported by a female reporter, and all those criminals were arrested.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianyi asked with some surprise: "This can't be what she reported, right?" ”
Lin Fan said after a while: "That's right, she almost died in the line of duty that time, that processing factory not only processed corpse oil, but also secretly became a secret base for arms dealers, but in the end, she successfully escaped after taking a photo." And not only this thing, but also some of the previous hot spots that have dominated the headlines of society for a long time were all poked out by her with evidence, and it can be said that Huaxing Club was supported by her. ”
Zhang Tianyi nodded thoughtfully in approval, and then asked, "Which column of Huaxing Club has attracted the most attention?" ”
Lin Fan thought for a while and said: "It should be social life, after all, this media has just been up for a long time." ”
Zhang Tianyi coped with the words "Wu Shengnan" in the search bar of his mobile phone, and then a series of relevant information jumped out.
Zhang Tianyi roughly browsed it, and the basic information was similar to what Lin Fan said, but there was one thing Zhang Tianyi was quite curious, Wu Shengnan's identity was similar to fighting fake reporters, Huaxing Club mainly catered to social life to create hot spots, and walking the earth gate was more inclined to archaeology and other topics, how were they connected.
Zhang Tianyi slid down and suddenly remembered the news of the Tumen group tombs before, so he asked Lin Fan: "Who was the archaeological commissioner who went to investigate when the Tumen tombs were discovered before?" ”
Lin Fan shook his head on the steering wheel and said, "I don't know very well, it seems that he is a university professor transferred from Beijing." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Tianyi lowered his head and searched the soil gate again, although there was a lot of information on the web page, there was no substantive information, but Zhang Tianyi found the news at the lowest end.
The news said that the Tumen tomb group was discovered in 1997 in Bashu, because the mystery of this tomb group was sent to investigate at that time, Zhang Tianyi noticed that the leader of the archaeological team was named Xu Huanian.
Zhang Tianyi couldn't help muttering in his heart, the tomb group of the Tumen was unearthed in 97, and the photo of Wu Shengnan was uploaded in 02, and then after three years, he was involved in this file again, and he dared to go around in a big circle and returned to the Tumen.
Zhang Tian couldn't help but type Xu Nianhua's name in the search bar, and then the biography of the character jumped out. Zhang Tianyi read it out: "Xu Huanian, a native of Beijing, a party member, born in 1948, majored in history and language in college, and worked as a professor at a university in Beijing after graduation......
Lin Fan found that Zhang Tianyi paused and asked, "And then?" ”
Zhang Tianyi looked at his phone and said, "No more......"
"The information is too vague, there are so many schools and so many people in Beijing, how can we find it!" Lin Fan complained.
Originally, I wanted to contact Xu Huanian, after all, it was he who unearthed the tomb group at the beginning, which might be helpful to the case.
Zhang Tianyi put down his phone and said, "Even if we know which university he teaches, we won't see him." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Fan asked. Zhang Tianyi leaned back in his chair and sighed, "It says that he disappeared within a few years of the excavation of the tomb group. ”
After Zhang Tianyi finished speaking, he looked at his mobile phone and continued: "To be precise, in the third year of the excavation of the tomb group, that is, the millennium, Xu Huanian suddenly disappeared from Beijing, as if the world had evaporated, and the state also sent a task force to look for it, but his whereabouts are still unknown." ”
"Mysteriously missing?" Lin Fan muttered, and as soon as he saw Zhang Tian's calm face, he stopped talking.
Lin Fan's words just now suddenly made Zhang Tianyi think of his father's disappearance, many years have passed, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
Would I still have a chance to see him if I lived? Can you still recognize him?
Zhang Tianyi didn't know if he could recognize him, and then lit a cigarette with a little bitterness in his heart, what if he was already dead?
