Chapter 41: Destination

Yu Yue carefully looked at the photo of the bronze medal attached to the back of the email, and sure enough, at the bottom of the bronze medal, a row of inconspicuous numbers was micro-carved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Come to think of it, Ah Shen must have gone to the train station when he saw this email. Perhaps, this bronze medal is something that Poker Face deliberately left to meet Ah Shen. But where will they go? Yu Yue read the email several times. If the poker face is just a simple meeting with Ah Shen, you can leave a message directly, why make it so complicated?

Could it be that the poker face wants to convey something with this bronze medal?

Yu Yue thought about it for a long, long time, and gradually had a plan in her heart.

She drove home as fast as she could, and without hesitation, she packed her bags and prepared to leave early tomorrow morning.

The next day, after Yu Yue prepared everything, she received a call from Lao Jiang.

"Yu Yue. Did you read the email yesterday? ”

"I've seen it, I'm just going to go out." After Yu Yue finished speaking, he added, "I want to go to Henan." ”

"Henan?" Lao Jiang asked suspiciously, "What are you doing in Henan?" ”

"I think Ah Shen should be in Henan." Yu Yue said as she dragged her suitcase out.

"Hey, then you wait a minute, I'll go with you. Wait for me for an hour, I'll pack my things. After speaking, Lao Jiang was afraid that Yu Yue would refuse, so he hung up the phone directly.

"Old Jiang ......" Yu Yue really wanted to refuse, although this old Jiang, although he used to be Ah Shen's classmate, but he was in a jade family, his family was wealthy since he was a child, and he did not suffer anything. After picking up antique jade over the years, the business is getting bigger and bigger. As an editor of a magazine, Yu Yue always didn't have much of a good impression of such a nouveau riche person, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find anyone to help, Yu Yue would definitely not pass the bronze medal to him.

However, it turns out that although this old Jiang is usually oily and noodles, he is also concerned about doing things. Yu Yue couldn't bear to leave, thought about it and moved her luggage home, and when Lao Jiang came, she had to personally persuade him not to follow.

Before an hour came, Lao Jiang came in his BMW 5 Series station wagon. Yu Yue looked at it and was dumbfounded, this old Jiang is really the same as Ah Shen said, he usually doesn't speak properly, but he is extremely reliable. In just an hour, he had prepared a lot of things, most of which might be used in the wild. When Lao Jiang triumphantly opened the trunk to show Yu Yue, Yu Yue knew that he couldn't say anything if he didn't bring him.

Yu Yue sat in Lao Jiang's car, Lao Jiang sat in the driver's seat, leaned back, and his whole stomach stood up. Lao Jiang met Yu Yue's gaze and smiled humbly, "Yu Yue, don't look at my body so contented, I'm an agile fat man." After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator to the end and immediately rushed out.

"We are ......" Yu Yue finally sat down, adapted to the rhythm of Lao Jiang's driving, and asked.

"Go to Henan." Lao Jiang dialed the steering wheel, "I don't want to take the high-speed train, so I booked a ticket and flew at 10:50." After speaking, Lao Jiang put on a Bluetooth headset and dialed his assistant's phone, "Xiao Zhang, help me rent an off-road vehicle in Henan, I will use it when I get off the plane at half past twelve." After explaining, Lao Jiang took off his headphones, turned on the radio, and listened to music leisurely.

"Old Jiang, when was the last time you saw Ah Shen?" Yu Yue looked at Lao Jiang, couldn't help but think of Ashen's appearance in college, and asked.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for a year, but last year it was about this time, and he just came back from a business trip and came to me for a drink."

Yu Yue nodded, if she wants to talk about this old Jiang, she has never really come into contact with it. I have heard more from Ah Shen's mouth, Ah Shen once told Yu Yue that Lao Jiang is a person who can perceive people's hearts very well. What Ah Shen said, she believed.

got on the plane, and Lao Jiang immediately fell asleep. When I woke up, it was time for the flight attendant to announce the imminent arrival of the plane. Old Jiang was lazy and saw that Yu Yue was concentrating on studying the map.

"What are you researching?" Lao Jiang was far away and drank all the remaining Coke from the quilt.

Yu Yue looked at her watch and put the map away, "This is the map of Henan Province that I just asked the flight attendant for." ”

"Don't worry, if it's a tour, I've already done a good job; If I'm here to do business, I also have some experience. Don't think so much, come with me. Lao Jiang said briskly.

Yu Yue smiled.

"Is it difficult, worried that I will be sold?" Lao Jiang touched his stomach and said honestly, "I may not be as clever as you." ”

The flight attendant once again reminded the passengers of the news that the plane was ready to fall, and Yu Yue smiled softly and stopped talking.

After getting off the plane, Lao Jiang and Yu Yue soon received a call from the car rental company. They took the Toyota Highlander they had rented at the airport gate, loaded all their luggage into the car, and left the airport.

"Tell me, where are we going?" Lao Jiang drove the car out of the airport and asked.

"Go to Qi County." Yu Yue said decisively.

"Okay, go!" Lao Jiang said, driving the car on the highway, "It's about two hours from here to Qi County, let's get to Qi County, we have to walk a long way, you sleep for a while." ”

"Do you know where we're going?" Yu Yue asked.

"Of course, you must have come out because of Ah Shen's business, Ah Shen read my email before leaving, you estimated that his departure was related to Daji's tomb. There was once a rumor that Daji's tomb was near the tomb of King Shang in Qi County. Lao Jiang switched out the navigation and turned on Bluetooth music.

"Do you think I'm right?" Yu Yue was not sure. Judging from the results of Lao Jiang's investigation, the bronze medal is likely to point to Su Daji. She had no other clues, so she had to start with Daji's tomb first.

"Anyway, let's go check it out first." As he spoke, Lao Jiang blew a little song.

Zhuo Fan got out of the car and went straight to the bungalow by the sea, the door of the house was closed, no

There's a little bit of a human touch. Zhuo Fan glanced at the window a few times, and sure enough, no one was there.

"What are you doing?" Someone behind him yelled at him in Zhoushan's dialect.

Zhuo Fan turned around as a teenager, a dark-skinned boy wearing a washed white shiny shirt, standing on the path next to the bungalow, looking this way.

"Do you know where the family went?" Zhuo Fan pointed to Uncle Mo's house and asked the young man.

The young man shook his head, "Their whole family has to go back to their hometown at this time of year, and their hometown seems to be in Henan or Hebei." The young man shouted at Zhuofan. Zhuo Dan beckoned to him not to leave. "Are you still at sea now?"

The young man was contemptuous, "Are you a foreigner?" We don't go to sea here now. It's the rule. The boy innocently snapped his fingers and calculated, "There are still five months before I go to sea." ”

"That kid, do you know where to find the boat, I'm going to go out to sea to see." Zhuo Fan said, taking out the wallet from his backpack, "Little friend, help the big brother." ”

The young man had never seen so much money before, and he looked at it with a shake, "Oh, well, I'll go home and ask my father, if he has a way, I'll help you." If he doesn't know, then I can't help it. The young man said, and his eyes never took off Zhuo Fan's wallet.

Zhuo Fan took out a hundred bills from his wallet, "Take it to sell snacks to eat." ”

The boy took the money and ran away happily. Zhuo Fan walked slowly along the seaside, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and on that piece of paper was written a longitude and latitude coordinates, and used the computer to check it, and this coordinate was somewhere on this sea.

After a while, the boy returned. As soon as he came, he stuffed the money into Zhuo Fan's hand, "My father said, I can't go to sea now, it's too dangerous." After speaking, he couldn't help but say, stuffed the money into Zhuo Fan's hand and ran, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I don't know when this seaside fishing village started, but there is an unwritten rule that after October 28 every year, you can't fish anymore. It stands to reason that the fishing moratorium in the East China Sea is more than three months from mid-June, and five months from October 28, including the Spring Festival. Why are the rules of this fishing village so strange? Zhuo Fan was confused, if he wanted to talk about this rule, he had also heard Uncle Mo talk about it. Originally, I thought it was this Uncle Mo who was playing tricks, but now it seems that it is not like that.

Zhuo Fan walked along the beach, the weather was gloomy, and the turbid yellow waves washed onto the beach in waves. He looked at the line between the sea and the sky that was blurred in the distance. What does this coordinate in your hand mean?

He recalled that when he received the clue about this coordinate two days ago, he deleted the email by mistake. Fortunately, he remembered it in time when he and Yu Yue had supper. The reason why there are only two symbols in that email, ○ and ×, is because the series of symbols represents the Morse code.

When Zhuo Fan was young, Zhuo Fan's father taught Zhuo Fan the code intentionally or unintentionally. When Zhuo Fan cracked the password, he was even more convinced that this password was related to his father.

Zhuo Fan was holding the code paper in his hand, which had been yellowed and his notes were blurry, but it was indeed his father's handwriting. Facing this vast and boundless sea, his heart was even more anxious.

"Do you want to go to sea, this young man?" A middle-aged man asked behind Zhuo Fan. Zhuo Fan was wary, "Are you?" ”

The man's eyes were glazed, "I'm a villager from this village. ”

"Then you are still willing to take me to sea?" Zhuo Fan carefully observed the man and asked.

The middle-aged man's face was haggard, his eye sockets were deep, his eyes were not shining, a shabby overalls were crumpled on his body, he didn't look at Zhuo Fan at all, he walked to the sea, his voice seemed to float in the salty and humid air on the sea, "You say, what is on the sea?" ”

Zhuo Fan looked at him in a daze, he stood motionless on the beach as if he had lost his soul. "Back then, after my son went to sea, he never came back. I wondered, what the hell is there. ”

"You're not afraid?"

The man smiled lonely, "My son is not afraid, what am I afraid of." After my son disappeared, my wife fell ill and died, and who cares about this old life after being alone for so long. ”

Zhuo Fan took pity on this person, "Okay, when I come back, I will reward him heavily." ”

The man stood by the sea, looking at the vast sea, and did not answer.
