Chapter 147: Leave a book, worship
I smiled and thanked Ma Tao for his help.
Sun Xiang thinks that his wife and daughter's eyes can help him open his eyes, so her wife will become the target of our investigation, due to the loopholes in the household registration, Sun Xiang's wife's identity, so far there is no trace, we only know her name, but we don't know where she is from, let alone check whether she has any relatives.
Ma Tao asked us what we planned to do next, I glanced at the calendar in the office, it was getting closer and closer to Meng Ting's wedding date, whether it was Shen Nuo's news about the task force or Ma Tao's investigation results, it seemed that it could not be transmitted overnight, so I decided to go back to City B first.
My mother stayed in City B alone for too long, and I didn't feel at ease, and I had to go to Meng Ting's wedding. Knowing my plan, Ma Tao asked me when I was leaving, I glanced at Jiang Jun and Xu Yi, and said that I would leave today. Jiang Jun and Xu Yi both understood what I meant and smiled at me gratefully.
Ma Tao wanted to take us to the station, but I refused. He only sent us to the door of the police station, and the reporters outside the police station were still waiting for Ma Tao, Ma Tao had a headache, said goodbye to us and quickly fled back to the bureau. Without any lingering, we went back to the hotel to pack our luggage and set off, and we took the bus back to Guangdong City.
I promised Jiang Jun that as soon as the matter here is over, I will accompany him back to Guangdong City to find out if there is any whereabouts of Wang Xin. Jiang Jun took out his mobile phone and dialed Wang Xin's number again, I don't know how many times he called this phone number, but the result was the same, no one answered.
Xu Yi and I both comforted Jiang Jun and said that Wang Xin would be fine, Jiang Jun smiled reluctantly, closed his eyes and stopped talking. After the rain, the road was unusually muddy, and the car was bumpy all the way. Xu Yi rested his head on my shoulder and said thank you to me. After going to Yueshi, I will accompany Xu Yi back to her hometown to pay respects to her dead parents, which is also promised to her.
Xu Yi's parents were businessmen and made a small fortune, and after dying in a car accident, Xu Yi inherited her parents' property, and it was because of this that she owned a small mobile phone in 1995, when mobile phones were rare. Xu Yi never told me much about the death of her parents, but she took me back to my hometown to pay respects.
Finally, the car stopped at the station in Yueshi, and we took a taxi and went to Jiang Jun's house. Jiang Jun sat in the co-pilot, looking at him, he seemed to be very nervous. Jiang Jun turned around and told us that he felt very bad in his heart, and the closer he was to home, the faster his heart would beat.
Finally, we arrived at the community of Jiang Jun's house, Jiang Jun took out the key and quickly opened the door. There was no one at home, and the curtains were all drawn. The rain in Guangdong stopped, but the sun did not come out, and it was very dark in the house. Jiang Jun didn't have time to turn on the lights, so he ran to Wang Xin's room.
I turned on the light, Wang Xin's home was still the same as before, very clean, even the shoes worn in the house were neatly arranged, like Wang Xin had been specially cleaned when he left home. The only thing that was different from before was the potted plants in the window.
After several days of not watering, the soil on the potted plants has dried up a little, and the leaves are still green, but they have lost their former vitality. I looked up, and on the wall of the living room, the black and white photo in the wooden photo frame was still eye-catching, it was Wang Xin when he was young, and his wife was standing next to him.
Soon, Jiang Jun came out of Wang Xin's house, and he said that he had found nothing, so he went into the room where Xu Yi and I had stayed. Xu Yi and I stepped into the room where Jiang Jun had just come out, the quilt on the bed was neatly folded, and the room was very simple, but it was generous.
There is a large table in Wang Xin's room, which is full of brushes, and there is a scroll on the table, on which is written the words inscribed by the predecessors for the police, and almost every student of the police academy can memorize this poem. The words reveal the justice and rationality of the police, which is also the goal that every criminal policeman wants to pursue.
I looked around the house and didn't find anything unusual. When Xu Yi and I left the house, Jiang Jun was still in another room, and he was sitting on a chair, his shoulders bent. Xu Yizheng and I didn't know how to comfort Jiang Jun, Jiang Jun stood up, he said no need to waste any more time, whether Wang Xin had an accident or he deliberately hid, we couldn't find him.
After Jiang Jun finished speaking, he walked straight out of the room. Xu Yi and I followed, and before going out, I glanced at a page on the dining table, the most obvious place, we didn't even notice.
"Wait!" I stopped Jiang Jun, and Jiang Jun and Xu Yi followed my gaze.
I walked to the dining table and picked up the page, which was densely filled with brush words of dragon flying and phoenix dance, and the signature was Wang Xin, which was a letter written by Wang Xin to Jiang Jun. I didn't read the content of the letter, and handed it directly to Jiang Jun, who read the words on it one by one, and soon, Jiang Jun frowned.
After reading it, Jiang Jun handed me the page and motioned for me to take a look.
Wang Xin said he didn't know when Jiang Jun would return and found the page. But he had a hunch that Jiang Jun would come back earlier than him. Seeing this, I was a little relieved, Wang Xin planned to come back, which means that the possibility of him being in danger has decreased, and I continued to look down.
Wang Xin said that if Jiang Jun saw this letter and he hadn't come back yet, let Jiang Jun continue to follow me well, and if someone told him anything about him and Jiang Jun during this period, I hoped that Jiang Jun would wait for him to come back and give him a chance to explain.
Wang Xin didn't say what it was, but the three of us understood that Wang Xin was talking about him killing Jiang Jun's father. Next, Wang Xin explained a lot of trivial matters in Jiang Jun's life, and between the lines, I could feel Wang Xin's love for Jiang Jun. There is a sentence in the letter that is written to me, he hopes that I can take good care of Jiang Jun, and said that one day, Jiang Jun will shine and give me unexpected help.
"Don't forget your original intention, don't read it. Wang Xin. These are the last lines of the letter.
I returned the letter to Jiang Jun, who carefully folded it and put it in the backpack he carried with him. Jiang Jun's frowning brows relaxed, and he said that since Wang Xin said so, then he didn't think about it anymore, Wang Xin said that he would come back, and he would come back. Except for Jiang Jun's life experience, Wang Xin has never deceived Jiang Jun since he was a child, so Jiang Jun decided to believe Wang Xin again.
Coming out of Wang Xin's house, Jiang Jun's mood was much better, at least he was sure that Wang Xin would not have an accident, but I felt strange. Wang Xin speculated that we would come back halfway, which is not difficult to understand, he has been turning off his mobile phone, and we will definitely come back to him with worry, but Wang Xin seems to have guessed that someone would tell Jiang Jun about the incident twenty years ago.
Confused, we immediately went to the train station again. Xu Yi's hometown is also in the south, not far from Guangdong City, and it only takes half a day to take the train.
When we arrived at Xu Yi's hometown, it was already night, and Xu Yi took us back to her house to stay. Xu Yi's former residence is considered good in the local area, after all, his parents took advantage of the opportunity in the seventies and eighties to make a lot of money. The house was unoccupied for too long and it was a bit dusty, we only stayed one night so it was only cleaned a little.
Jiang Jun went back to his room early to go to bed, and Xu Yi and I sat in the living room and waited until the early hours of the morning. In the living room, there was a posthumous photo of Xu Yi's parents, and Xu Yi cried for a long time holding the photo, and did not stop until his eyes were red and swollen. When lying next to Xu Yi, Xu Yi even called her parents in her dreams, and I covered the quilt for her and fell asleep......
The next day, we got up early in the morning, Xu Yi bought wreaths and flowers, and the three of us went up to the mountain where Xu Yi's parents were buried. Xu Yi never mentioned to me that there were other relatives in her home, that no one had cleaned them for too long, and that the grave was full of fallen leaves and fallen branches.
Xu Yi stood in front of the grave in a daze, while Jiang Jun and I put the wreath aside and cleaned the grave. There were too many branches, we picked them up one by one and threw them into the weeds on the side, and when I looked at Xu Yi again, she burst into tears again, I stopped what I was doing, walked over to Xu Yi, and put my arms around her shoulders.
Xu Yi couldn't control it at all, and cried hoarsely. But at this time, Jiang Jun called us. He asked Xu Yi if anyone had ever come to see her parents.
We didn't know why, so we looked in the direction of Jiang Jun's finger, and there was a bouquet of flowers buried under the branches, and it seemed that the flowers should have been placed here a few days ago......
