Chapter Twenty-Six: Melancholy Love

On November 16, Jiangxi Mu and Song Qingci sat on the bus and went to the newly built Bexian Gymnasium.

"What are you thinking these days? I don't see you say a word every day. Song Qingci sat next to him and couldn't help but interrupt the long silence.

The bus came to a slow stop, and as the doors opened, a gust of cold wind poured in.

Jiang Xi Mu looked out the window, and the gas he breathed touched the cold glass, blurring his vision, and he couldn't see his face reflected on it.

"I'm thinking about how to solve this case." The car started, and the rumbling engine drowned out Jiangxi Mu's voice.

The car turned to Nanjing Middle Road, and it became prosperous. Song Qingci hesitated for a long time, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "But this matter has nothing to do with us." Leave it to the police and wait for the news to be solved. ”

"If that's the case, then I don't have a chance to know what I need to know." Jiang Jiangxi's tone became hot, and even the speed of his speech was rarely fast, "I must find the murderer before they can detect it, so as to threaten Tai Changyin." “

"Are you really going to find the director of this bureau of culture and sports? It's hard to get to see him. Song Qingci was very surprised.

Jiang Xi Mu nodded, "This is a bargaining chip, I feel that the next one to die, no accidentally, is this director!" ”

"Is this important?" Song Qingci gently put it on the back of his hand, which was surprisingly frozen, and the red appearance made people feel a little distressed.

Jiangxi Mu pulled out his hand, took out his mobile phone from his trouser belt, and opened the picture page, which was still the same news from 1996. Song Qingzi has many times, and he often sees Jiangxi Mu holding a mobile phone alone, and most of the pictures of the mobile phone are this 1996 report.

"That's why you're going to 'visit' the training of the economics players?" Song Qingci explained the reason, "Because Coach An Xi will tell you a lot of things in 1996. ”

"At least don't miss it yet." Jiang Xi Mu nodded.

Song Qingci looked at his cold side face, and his heart was clearer than the sun, as long as it involved the events of 1996, he changed as a person, changed from the cold winter in the past, and became scorching.

They got off at Tsinghua North Road and walked for a short time to the newly built gymnasium. As soon as I saw it, I was stunned by this building. That kind of magnificent atmosphere, Song Qingci only thought of it, it was a reduced version of the Water Cube, the Bird's Nest and the like.

Approaching the gymnasium, the structure of the gymnasium is in the shape of a round arch, with pure white arches and perfect curves, like an open book. Under the book-shaped round arch, a steel frame is used to support the entire gymnasium. On the side they are on is the south side of the gymnasium, which is about 20 meters high, and the combination of large glass and steel frame makes the basketball hall inside a panoramic view.

The whole stadium is majestic and atmospheric, but it does not lose the style of simplicity.

When you enter from the south gate, you will see the black marble on the side, in addition to carving the building side, it also reads "Designer: Mo Sigui"

Song Qingci couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence in his heart, the principal Mo Sigui is a well-known architect in Province M, who has designed many buildings, such as he is currently participating in the design of the Yaphroti Building in Wutai City, the capital of Province M. In a city, it is definitely a matter of pride to have a building designed by President Mo.

No, the city government plans to demolish the old stadium, and all future events will be in the newly built stadium.

Entering from the south gate, you will find the basketball hall. Those players are working hard - think about it, November 23 is the basketball finals between the two colleges, can you not be nervous?

"On the playing field, it's all about cooperation and trust. Even if the team member next to you is your enemy, believe it. ”

Coach An Xi limped outside the field, loudly saying what to pay attention to in the game. And the players are practicing the half-time game, and the game is in full swing.

It's really impressive to see the team I saw more than a month ago. Song Qingci smiled, happy for the efforts made by these team members.

On the field, although the 9 players were crowded in that small half, playing against each other, they only played in an orderly manner, and there was no chaos at all. For example, Gui Ming was on the outside, pretending to shoot at the three-point line, but when he was blocked by Qin Yunfeng, a cat passed the ball to Gao Taiyang, Gao Taiyang took advantage of the gap, and the basketball was like a carp jumping into the net.

"Well done, good feints!" Coach An Xi was very excited, limped behind the basketball hoop, and picked up the basketball. "After half an hour, you guys should also take a break."

Hearing this order, the players collapsed and sat on the bench outside the field, drinking water, wiping sweat, and panting.

Song Qingci and Jiangxi Mu walked up to Coach An Xi, and Coach An Xi's face was still full of excitement, and it turned red. "You're here to see the training, right? What do you think? It's all good, it's definitely going to be a glory for you. ”

Song Qingci blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect that the coach you are really good, and the level of professors can surpass the physical education teachers in our school." It's a shame that the Department of Physical Education doesn't want teachers like you. ”

"There's no pity, they want to be able to write papers, I haven't written for many years haha." Coach An Xi laughed.

Song Qingci looked around and exclaimed: "This gymnasium is so good, the principal is really willing to give you this gymnasium." ”

This basketball hall has more than 5,000 general spectator seats, which surround the basketball court in a circular arc. Above their heads, there is also a scorer of more than 20 square meters. Think about it, if you play here and more than 5,000 people watch together, no matter how you look at it, you will feel breathtaking.

When Coach An Xi heard this, he put his index finger to his lips, signaled Song Qingci not to be quiet, and said playfully: "If the principal knows, I won't have a job." Then there will be no place for these players to practice. ”

Song Qingci blinked, "Don't worry, I won't tell Principal Mo." Absolute confidentiality. ”

Jiangxi Mu interrupted this interesting conversation stiffly: "Coach, I have something I want to ask you. ”

At this time, Sunshine took the packaged Langjiu and brought it, but somehow, a little absent-minded, accidentally touched a team member's schoolbag, which fell to the ground and fell out of the iPhone. He quickly put down Lang Jiu and stuffed the iPhone into his school bag.

Coach An Xi looked at the good wine and couldn't help but add to his mouth.

Sunshine lowered his head, handed Lang Jiu to the coach's hand, and said in a snort: "Dad, thank you." His face turned completely red.

Jiang Jiang Mu noticed this unusualness - he remembered that Song Qingci said that the policeman had come to the school and talked to Sunshine - and he took this to heart.

The coach took the wine, kept stroking, and smashed his mouth. But he said righteously: "As an athlete, you can't drink!" Go, hurry up and train to go! If you win the finals, I'll allow you to drink beer. ”

Sunshine still said in a heavy voice, seemingly a little unenergetic, "Thank you." ”

"How do you play like this? Who is your sad look for! Put it away! Coach An Xi scolded angrily.

Sunshine nodded and went back silently.

Seeing the sunshine turn around, An Xi Exchange couldn't wait to go in the direction of the security room, then paused, and said to Jiangxi Mu: "Don't you have something to ask me, come here." ”

It seems that he is addicted to alcohol again. Jiangxi Mu remembered that a month ago, he also drank with Coach An Xi, and obtained a lot of information when he was hazy.

The security room is next to the players' lounge, and Coach An Xi is rummaging through the glasses in the room, and said very puzzledly: "Why haven't you found the wine glass?" I think I bought it back...... Where? ”

Jiang Jiang Mu was outside the security room, looking around boredly. Next to it is a lounge on two floors with a staircase on the outside. Looking north from the lounge, you can see the large scorer, and the iron pillar supporting the scorer passes through the auditorium and is fixed to the outer wall. Underneath the scorer is the grandstand of the chairman of the judges.

Why do you always feel a little weird?

Jiang Xi Mu remembers that generally speaking, the position of the scorer and the judges' rostrum is opposite.

Moreover, he seemed to see something on the iron pillar supporting the scorer, and it was fixed with transparent glue. He squinted his eyes and took a few steps forward, trying to see it clearly.

"The cup has been found, come over here, have a drink with me-" A big hand put on Jiangxi Mu's shoulder, alerting him.

"Oh." Jiangxi Mu agreed lightly.

Coach An Xi's face was full of smiles, and it was a happy smile. Sure enough, the wine was already poured into the glass, exuding a strong aroma of wine.

The two sat in the security room, and as soon as they sat down, Coach An Xi took a drink first, and let out a long "ah-" that was enough to say the joy of the wine worm returning to the wine world.

Jiangxi Mu pecked slightly, he didn't feel it at first, but soon the spicy taste filled his mouth.

"You say that time flies quickly, and more than ten years have passed in one fell swoop. In the '90s, I was ten years older than these kids. But the physical strength is not inferior to theirs. "As soon as there is wine, Coach An Xi is especially able to talk about the mountains.

Jiangxi Mu agrees with this opinion, "Time is really fast and cruel. ”

"I remember the basketball game in July 1996, it was really summer. All units compete together, and the winning team can get a reward of 500 yuan, which is a lot of money at that time. Coach An Xi took a sip of wine, his eyes drifting upward, recalling the past at that time: "You don't know, many teams have secretly hired external personnel. But there's no one who can do the Suns I led haha. ”

"Did you have a match with the judiciary?" Jiangxi Mu hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Yes, it's quite strong, I watched them play with other units at that time, and they often killed others in two games, and rarely in the third game." Coach An Xi laughed a few times, "My Suns team is about the same level, and I almost don't play the third game with others." It's a pity that I didn't fight with the judicial unit. ”

Jiangxi Mu lowered his head and drank the wine down, the spicy smell swirling in his stomach, dissipating the heat. Then he asked lightly, as if inadvertently, "After the ball game, it was the robbery-prison case in August." You should know. ”

Coach An Xi hesitated for a moment and stopped drinking, "How do you know about this, it's been 15 years." People don't know about it anymore. At that time, it was a big fuss, and even the prize money after winning the ball game was gone. He burped and sighed, "It was a big fuss at that time, because many people died, even a dozen of the jailers." There is not a martyr's cemetery in Binhai County. ”

"Then I'm going to pay a respect." Jiangxi Mu's vision became blurred, and he felt that it was under the influence of alcohol.

"Could it be your relatives......" Coach An Xi quickly understood.

Jiangxi Mu looked up at the white zenith, like the kingdom of heaven on the other side, and his words were full of gloom: "Yes, a very important person." At this point, I was left alone......"
