At noon the next day, Qiao Wei and I went out of Jinzhou South Railway Station, although it was the beginning of March, Liaoning was much warmer than Heilongjiang, and I also experienced a little bit of spring.

After solving the problem of food and clothing at the California beef noodles outside the station, Qiao Wei and I began to look for Wang Dongmei and her father.

The easiest way to inquire about a place is to ask the taxi driver.

There were many taxis outside the train station, and Qiao Wei and I chose a slightly older driver, and then asked him about the power plant in Xiajinzhou City that had been in '97. The driver said that the old power plant in Jinzhou City has been acquired, and now it is a new company. This answer is also expected by me, after all, it has been almost 20 years. Originally, Qiao Wei and I didn't have any clear directions, so we asked the driver to take us to the new company that had bought the old power plant to try our luck.

Although it is called "company", the nature of the power plant plant does not change, so the location must also be on the outskirts of the city. When I arrived at my destination, I told the security guard at the gate that I was a teacher at Wang Dongmei's school, and that the school had organized an event to comfort the families of the deceased students, so I wanted to find Wang Dongmei's father, who worked at the power plant.

The security guard immediately called the personnel department. The people in the personnel department were also very talkative, and after listening to my intentions, Qiao Wei and I were allowed to enter the office of the hospital. We were greeted by a young woman, twenty-three or four years old, who looked like she had just graduated from college, and spoke very politely.

I told her all the information I had about Wang Dongmei's father, and then she told me the sad news that the plant had no employees aged 60 – Wang's father would have been over 60 this year, so he couldn't have worked here.

However, the clue was not broken, the little beauty immediately turned out a folder containing a temporary contract for re-employment in the personnel file, and then told me that the company had rehired several old employees of the original factory, and a person who had just terminated the contract after the year was sixty-three this year, and his contact information was still kept by the company, and he might know the contact information of Wang Dongmei's father from him.

I dialed the number given by the little beauty, and the call was answered quickly.

It is estimated that it is because of the good deeds and good character, that person really knows Wang Dongmei's father, and gave us a mobile phone number. According to the man, Wang Dongmei's father's name is Wang Zhanxiang, a mechanic at the old power plant, and after the factory was acquired, Wang Zhanxiang did a small business at home, and this mobile phone number can definitely contact Wang Zhanxiang.

I thanked him, hung up, and dialed Wang Zhanxiang's number. The person who answered the phone was a man with a somewhat hoarse voice and a thick Jinzhou accent.

"Hello, are you Wang Zhanxiang?" I asked.

"I am, who are you?"

As soon as I heard this answer, I immediately made a V-word gesture at Qiao Wei with my left hand, signaling that I had found it. Then I told Wang Zhanxiang that I was from Wang Dongmei's school, and now the students of the school spontaneously organized a condolence activity, and emphasized that I had arrived in Jinzhou, hoping that Wang Zhanxiang could give me his address.

Wang Zhanxiang was silent for a while before he told me an address and told us to go back in half an hour—reluctance was evident in his tone.

Hanging up the phone, I thanked the personnel little beauty, and then left the power plant with Qiao Wei to take a taxi.

The address given by Wang Zhanxiang is an old-fashioned community, the kind without doormen and security, and the taxi sent Qiao Wei and me directly to the entrance of Building 3. Because it wasn't too cold, Qiao Wei and I were chatting and waiting outside, and we didn't go into the building until about haode.

There was no elevator in the old building, the stairs were narrow and broken, and the corridor was filled with an embarrassing smell of sauerkraut jars. I pinched my nose and went to the fourth floor and knocked lightly on the door of 402 in the middle.

It took a while to ask who it was.

I hurriedly replied that I had come to find Wang Dongmei's father, and I had just spoken over the phone.

After a while, the door finally opened, and an old man with gray hair stood behind the door and said that he was Wang Zhanxiang.

Just glanced at Wang Zhanxiang, and I felt an indescribable bitterness in my heart. Wang Zhanxiang is so thin that he is almost skinny, his two cheekbones are protruding outward, his cheeks are concave inward, and his two eye sockets have extremely heavy dark circles, which looks like he has been suffering from insomnia for a long time. There are layers of wrinkles on his head and eyes, coupled with a severe hunchback, and there are absolutely people who believe him in his seventies.

I stood at the door and forgot to speak for a while, Wang Zhanxiang actually took the first step and asked, "Are you a student?" It doesn't feel like it. ”

I also knew that people who were almost thirty pretending to be college students would definitely be goofs, so I didn't hide it from Wang Zhanxiang anymore, so I told the old man about the real purpose of Qiao Wei and I coming this time, and then asked Qiao Wei to come and introduced: "This is Mr. Feng Shui who does ghost things at school." ”

I don't know if it's a little too sudden, so the old man can't accept it for a while, after I finished speaking, Wang Zhanxiang was stunned at the door for a long time and didn't say anything. After a while, the old man's face showed a very painful and sad expression, and he said in a dumb voice: "Our Dongmei is cremated, there is nothing I can do to help you." ”

"Ashes are also okay." Qiao Wei scrambled to speak.

"The ashes were not left, and after cremation, they were scattered into the sea! Don't talk about anything weird here, I can't help you. After speaking, Wang Zhanxiang was about to close the door.

Qiao Wei hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold the door and said, "Don't close the door, this matter is really important, two students have died in a row!" And now that your daughter's soul is trapped, you can't bear to let your daughter suffer after she dies?!! ”

Wang Zhanxiang's brows furrowed, obviously shaken.

I hurriedly helped: "Uncle Wang, you really have to believe this thing!" Do you think it's necessary for us to come all the way here to lie to you? ”

"We're certainly not liars! Think about it, did your daughter leave any other relics, even if it was hair or something, or bloodstained clothes. Qiao Wei said again.

Wang Zhanxiang sighed heavily, then lowered his head and said: "I didn't keep any of Dongmei's things, if you really want to find it, go find Teacher Gu, Dongmei still has a diary in him." That was the only thing left by Dongmei, and the others were either burned or thrown away, and they didn't even have a photo. ”

"...... is that Teacher Gu?" I asked.

"It's the male teacher in the rumors. Hey, Teacher Gu is a good person, and Dongmei was killed by gossip people! Wait a minute. As he spoke, Wang Zhanxiang took out his mobile phone and checked it for a while, and then raised the mobile phone screen towards me.

The screen showed the phone number of a person, and that person was named Gu Wei.

Rumors that the actor has become a good guy?

I suddenly wanted to know what kind of relationship this Gu Wei had with the Wang family.
