Volume 2 Chapter 39 It turned out to be a hundred years later
When the investigation was over, Xu Qingsheng first stopped Shen Jiamu from rushing to share the information obtained from the investigation with her.
"There is something important that needs to be implemented."
Xu Qingsheng pointed in the direction where the ginkgo trees were planted: "Who owns that flower field now?" ”
"Now it is an ownerless field, owned by the town Natural Planning Bureau, this place I also came to spend a vacation before, I heard the locals say that the ginkgo biloba is at least a hundred years old, so the natural planning bureau has not sold the flower field, many tourists love to see the old ginkgo, because the ginkgo is one meter from the ground divided into two poles, many people call it the lover tree, so the flower field is called the lover garden, there is a local legend, saying that this flower field was originally operated by a couple, and later the couple became a husband and wife."
"The original owners were not lovers." Xu Qingsheng muttered.
It was a sudden wish of a certain person, who wanted to plant a flower here, live in a quiet town, make a living by selling flowers, and grow old with his beloved, there should have been a small building in the flower field, a small courtyard, he said that he wanted to plant a ginkgo tree in the small yard, when the ginkgo was yellow, and his lover made tea under the ginkgo tree, it was not difficult for them to realize that wish, but the person who had the wish quickly forgot the wish, he actually never came here again.
But the person he loved still remembered his wish, and after he was alone, he came here, alone to fulfill the wishes of others, maybe she was looking forward to the day when he could remember this wish and return to her life again.
The ginkgo trees are already so tall, and their branches and foliage are already so luxuriant.
The years have faded into obscurity, and no one will remember the lonely and persistent woman anymore.
"This town should have been called Renai Town before, right?"
"Have you looked at the information here?" Shen Jiamu asked rhetorically, but he had already answered.
Xu Qingsheng's eyes also began to blur, and inexplicable emotions choked her throat like this, and after a while, she was able to make a somewhat hoarse voice, but she couldn't hear the crying voice: "Trouble Officer Shen, can you borrow a small flower hoe for me, there is one thing I must confirm." ”
This time, it was Shen Jiamu who followed behind Xu Qingsheng, he saw Qingsheng rushing straight towards the ginkgo tree, and he was still thinking about whether to attack the ginkgo tree? But he didn't ask or stop it, he thought that although this girl who looked the same as Qiu Hong came strangely, but there was nothing strange about her behavior, even if she wanted to dig a tree, she must have an important reason to dig it, forget it, as long as the reason is right, he can still save her from this sentence.
Under the ginkgo tree, Shen Jiamu simply handed the borrowed flower hoe to Qingsheng.
Qingsheng circled the tree, and at the tree pole facing the small white tower, about the length of her thumb at the bottom of the slit, she saw a scar drawn by a certain naughty boy who took advantage of the unavailability of stones, she gently stroked the scar, and remembered that her mother, who had always had a gentle temper, lost her temper that day.
Then she squatted down, just below the scar, about half a meter from the ginkgo tree, and began to dig the soil with a flower hoe.
It didn't take long to see the glass bottle she buried here during the summer vacation, the wax seal around the cork was still fine, and the note in the glass bottle could be seen, because it had been embalmed, and the handwriting on it was still there.
A memory she had buried, it seems, has been buried.
After a hundred years, who would have thought that she would dig it up with her own hands and let the memory see the light of day?
Qingsheng put the glass bottle back and buried it with his own hands again.
She stood up and solved Shen Jiamu's doubts: "Renai Town, Baita Mountain, Qingmei River, Bamboo Horse Bridge...... It's my grandparents' birthplace, the old owner of this flower field is my mother, this glass bottle is buried here by me, Officer Shen, I didn't cross over from a parallel world, we live in the same world at different times, I saw that the current time and the time of my survival are a hundred years apart, faintly confused, but I didn't think about it, Jiuqu Town is not the environment I am familiar with, including Shenjiang City, although I also lived in Shenjiang City a hundred years ago, but the two Shenjiang cities have nothing in common, Or in other words, there are several places in the city you took me to, there are no buildings and landscapes that I am familiar with, I thought it was a coincidence, and there happened to be a Shenjiang City in this world.
But I'm here, I'm too familiar with the landscape here, this ginkgo tree was even planted by my mother, I'm pretty sure, it's not a coincidence, it's not that two parallel worlds have the same landscape, I traveled from a hundred years ago to a hundred years later. ”
Xu Qingsheng didn't know what Shen Jiamu's mood was, maybe in his opinion, it didn't make much difference whether she had traveled through a parallel world or just traveled through time, but her mood was now a mixture of joy and sorrow.
In the world after a hundred years, without her mother, without Mobe, all the people she is familiar with should no longer exist, the vicissitudes of life, all the people are beyond recognition, Xu Qingsheng's surname should not leave any traces, too long, even if there is the existence of the Internet, it is enough to make the once living people disappear, she may be lucky, because only she can see the world change dramatically after a hundred years.
What remains unchanged is the landscape, the flower field, the trees, and the unknown memories she buried.
It's like a person who doesn't believe in love, but does the most romantic thing.
Qingsheng didn't pay attention to Shen Jiamu's suddenly solemn expression for a while.
"Do you need to stay here for a while?" Shen Jiamu asked.
It doesn't have to be.
She can still go back to her time, for her, the town of love in that time is more vivid, her mother is still surrounded by this flower field, looking forward to the return of love, this is the future, but she is still in the past, maybe this is just a short time travel, one day she will completely return to the time she really misses.
When boarding the private flight, Shen Jiamu talked about Qingsheng's amazing discovery: "I agree with your judgment, you should have traveled from a hundred years ago to a hundred years later, but you must be more careful with your words and deeds." China prohibits the study of time and space travel, and it is strictly forbidden to study the technology that allows people to travel to the past or the future, if Qiu Hong is really the one who controls your time travel, although she is abroad, she has not conducted research in China, but according to the territorial jurisdiction system, if it causes evil consequences, Qiu Hong will inevitably be punished.
Now what's more serious is that according to the law, I must report this incident, if your identity is exposed, and people suspect that your crossing is controlled by Qiu Hong, I will be immediately removed from my post and even investigated for criminal responsibility as a criminal act of covering up suspected crimes. ”
"So serious?" Xu Qingsheng also became nervous.
"You should have heard of the butterfly effect, if a criminal uses the technology that travels through time to go back to the past to commit a crime, so that he can benefit from the present, he can escape punishment is only one aspect, and even because of his behavior of changing the past personnel, he will cause a series of personnel changes, so that the existing world will be turned upside down, and the consequences of the future will be simply unpredictable." Shen Jiamu even rubbed his hair: "I think Qiu Hong should understand that this research has a huge hidden danger to society, but she is a person who is very obsessed with her profession, and I am sure that even if Qiu Hong is studying this technology, her original intention cannot be to commit a crime."
She is now out of touch, it is very likely that she is controlled by people who really want to use this technology to commit crimes, according to her character, she will never compromise with criminals, if you travel back to modern times and are really planned and carried out by Qiu Hong, then she is likely to think that you can help her regain her freedom and stop the evil deeds of criminals. ”
This is the reason why Shen Jiamu decided not to report the incident, Xu Qingsheng thought.
Relying on himself alone, it is absolutely impossible for Ran Qiuhong to be rescued and prevent the crime from happening, Ran Qiuhong's real savior is Shen Jiamu, but if Shen Jiamu reports the case, not only will he not be able to save Ran Qiuhong from trouble, but he will also be deprived of the right to investigate, and even temporarily lose his personal freedom.
The more privileged people are, the more their human rights are restricted than ordinary citizens.
Shen Jiamu is willing to take huge risks for the safety of his friends out of trust in Ran Qiuhong, and for Qingsheng, of course, she is not willing to be imprisoned for the restriction of personal freedom.
"I'll be more cautious." Qingsheng reassured Shen Jiamu.
"There is no progress in this matter for the time being, the top priority is still the 1213 homicide case, we are going to the special bureau now, I must win the right to investigate the 1213 homicide case, and investigate it together with the murder case of Zhang Jie, because I have a hunch that the murderer's criminal behavior will not end here, and he will even be even more frustrated." Shen Jiamu said.
In fact, Xu Qingsheng understands that she will not have any effect at all about competing for the case with the criminals of the special bureau, but now there is only half of the mansion's "rope" between her and Shen Jiamu, and the matter of human life must race against time, of course Shen Jiamu can't wait until after three o'clock to "quarrel".
Xu Qingsheng looked at the time, it was not yet ten o'clock, and the number of hours should be enough to make a noise.
Shen Jiamu immediately talked about the case: "I won't repeat what you know, I just say what you don't understand." Zhang Jie's computer didn't have too many useful clues, we only found her specific plan for planning the live broadcast, she shouldn't have the habit of writing network logs, probably to prevent the leakage of the situation she investigated, and didn't leave any clues pointing to the suspect on the computer.
But we found that she was very concerned about Dong Qingdi's case, she had browsed a lot of reports about Dong Qingdi's case, her consumption records, there was a transfer to a detective agency, Sister Danwei contacted the detective agency, and the other party admitted that they accepted Zhang Jie's entrustment, and the task was to investigate Dong Qingdi's cheating partner.
In addition, although the flower field outside the B&B was not covered by the camera in the public area, we found the trace left by the suspect on the way from the town street to the crime site, a man, not only wearing a cap but also a mask, unable to identify his facial features.
Zhang Jie didn't leave much trace information in Heji Town, she almost didn't go out, but the suspect had passed the road to the homestay where the crime occurred many times, and I think Zhang Jie should have met the suspect in the homestay.
But it's very strange that the living room camera inside the B&B did not shoot the rest of the people except Zhang Jie, we also retrieved Zhang Jie's call records before her death, and found that she had dialed a mobile phone number many times, the owner was a man, surnamed Shi Mingqian, he was Dong Qingdi's cheating object, which we have asked Dong Wenchang for verification.
Look at Shi Qian's photo. ”
Shen Jiamu shows on a laptop computer.
"It's very similar to the figure of the suspect." Qingsheng also saw the photo of the suspect being taken by the public camera.
She thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Who belongs to the flower field outside the homestay where the crime occurred?" ”
"The owner of the flower field should have nothing to do with the murder, he has not lived in Heji Town for a long time, and has been working in Yanping, but your idea is right, the flower field is now being rented by Shi Qian." Shen Jiamu said: "According to the feedback from the local police station, after investigation, Shi Qian usually uses a domestic helper to take care of the flower field, but he rents the flower field but not to provide flowers to the flower shop for profit, he does not live in Heji Town for a long time, he has almost no acquaintances here, but he has brought many women to Heji Town, these women have rented the homestay where the crime occurred, and some local residents have seen Shi Qian take pictures of women in the flower field."
We also asked the detective agency, and they said that they had confirmed to Zhang Jie that Shi Qian was the object of Dong Qingdi's cheating, Shi Qian and Dong Qingdi are both photography enthusiasts, both of them are users of the photography platform that Jian Beicheng said, they met on the Internet, and they started dating offline.
We can't contact Shi Qian now, he didn't answer the phone, but we found out that he has been in Heji Town for the past few days, and after locating, his mobile phone is in Jianning, but the mobile phone has been discarded by Shi Qian, Shi Qian is a major suspect, and it is a matter of time before he is arrested, so I plan to use this as an excuse to ask that the murder case and this case be investigated together. ”
