Two police officers from Fujian arrived in the city yesterday and immediately contacted the city's police upon their arrival; After discussions between the two sides, it was decided to temporarily investigate the case separately according to their respective clues and needs, and at the same time establish a mechanism for reporting and mutual support at any time; According to the request of the two people, the city police equipped them with an SUV vehicle with a local civilian license plate; The two politely thanked them for their kindness in providing them with a driver, saying that they could use navigation to find their way; They know that all departments are now very tight and cannot add more trouble to their peers.

Today, with the help of the technical investigation methods provided by the local police, they tracked down Zong Zhenlei.

Zong Zhenlei faced the public security officers, and the nervous feeling just now disappeared, but it was replaced by the suspicion that suddenly came. In the morning, he saw the empty edge in Yongzuo Temple, and he still doubted whether the tracking of the empty edge was related to the research topic, and now in the face of the arrival of the Fujian public security personnel, and heard the other party talk about the "small fishing village temple", he secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that his trip to the small fishing village temple caused someone to pay attention to his research topic? He thought of the conversation with Tongyun, and the topic at that time was mainly about Tongyun and his master's trip to Yongzuo Temple, and he remembered a question that Professor Li repeatedly asked after sending him to that small fishing village monastery, that is, whether Tongyun and his master's trip to Yongzuo Temple was related to the "Golden Lily Project"? He became vigilant and wondered in his heart, could it be that the implementation of the "Golden Lily Plan" has not yet ended? And the people who pay attention to him are the people who are from the implementation of the "Golden Lily Plan"?

He turned around and said to Li Ruhui, "You go to the library first, and I'll look for you when I'm done." ”

Li Ruhui saw that it was someone from the police who was looking for a conversation, Chao Zong Zhenlei nodded, made a gesture to call her if he had something, and walked to the provincial library with a notebook bag on his back.

The two public security officers and Zong Zhenlei found a corner and sat down. The older man in black introduced himself first and said, "My surname is Chen, and this is my colleague Xiao Zhang." We are here to learn from you about your visit to a small fishing village in Fujian. ”

Zong Zhenlei asked questioningly: "Why did you come all the way to me to understand?" ”

Lao Chen's eyes were firmly fixed on Zong Zhenlei: "Not long after you left, Tongyun died, and Kongyuan also disappeared. After saying that, the eyes that were approaching still didn't return.

When Zong Zhenlei heard this, his face changed greatly, and he asked urgently: "How did Master Tongyun die?" Is it a sudden illness? ”

Lao Chen squinted at him and replied, "He was poisoned." He seemed to be perceiving the reaction of the young man in front of him.

When Zong Zhenlei heard that Tongyun was poisoned, he immediately realized that the situation was serious; Since the police came to the door, they explained that they were suspected of being involved in a criminal case.

Zong Zhenlei no longer doubted, and immediately told the two policemen all about his journey to the temple in the small fishing village, as well as the fact that he learned from Tongyun about some historical facts related to his research topic that day. Finally, it was also said that he had found the tracking of the empty edge in Yongzuo Temple.

The two policemen didn't seem surprised that Sky Edge appeared locally, and they didn't ask further after asking about the initial time when Sky Edge was discovered, as it seemed that they had known that Sky Edge had come to the city.

Lao Chen asked, "Do you know the contact information of Kongyuan?" ”

Zong Zhenlei shook his head and replied, "I don't know." ”

Xiao Zhang asked: "Have you ever been in contact with Kongyuan when you went to the temple in the small fishing village?" Did you know each other before? ”

Zong Zhenlei said that he didn't know Kongyuan before, but he told Kongyuan about bringing a letter to Kongyuan in the temple, but because he found that his wallet was lost and the letter was also lost, he apologized to Kongyuan and chatted briefly; He told Kongyuan that he was from a northern city, and that Professor Li had asked him to bring it, and that it was assigned to Kongyuan, and so on; He didn't leave any contact information, and he didn't think it was necessary. When he finished talking about the situation, he noticed that the two policemen seemed to be interested in the plot of his lost wallet, especially when he heard him say that there was a letter to Sora in the wallet, and the two looked at each other.

Lao Chen asked, "What is the content of the letter?" His eyes were still fixed on the expression on Zong Zhenlei's face.

Zong Zhenlei shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm just helping to carry letters, and I won't open other people's letters." ”

Lao Chen seemed to be very concerned about this, and chased and asked, "There is an envelope?" ”

Zong Zhenlei nodded and said, "Yes, the envelope is written with the recipient Kongyuan and the small fishing village temple." ”

The two looked at each other again, and it could be seen that they were also very concerned about the details of this envelope.

Lao Chen's eyes relaxed: "Who is Professor Li?" ”

Zong Zhenlei said: "It is the professor of S University who led us to do research. ”

Xiao Zhang saw that Zong Zhenlei answered the question very calmly, so he interjected: "Do you know who you are here to 'Yanqiu'?" ”

Zong Zhenlei thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know this person." What two words? ”

Xiao Zhang wrote the word "Yanqiu" on the back of the paper on which he was making a conversation record for Zong Zhenlei to see.

Zong Zhenlei whispered "Yanqiu" a few times in his mouth, and after a while, Zong Zhenlei raised his eyes and said: "I said why is it so smooth, I remembered, if this is not a person's name, but the name of a scenic spot, then I know; We have a name here that is very similar to the 'Yanqiu' you said, called 'Yanqiu', which is a big stone henge composed of two or three big stones, I don't know if it means this? As he spoke, he asked Xiao Zhang for a pen and wrote the word "Yanqiu" on the palm of his hand.

Xiao Zhang read these two words and asked, "Big Stone Tepee?" Where is it? ”

Zong Zhenlei said: "In the park on the east bank of the Fen River, the approximate location is near the intersection of Binhe East Road and Shuangta West Street, which can be searched with a navigation map. ”

Xiao Zhang looked back at Lao Chen and said in Hokkien dialect: "Do you feel that it will be this?" The woman turned into a pile of big stones? I don't feel like he's talking about what we're trying to find. ”

Lao Chen looked at those two words, his face sank, and he said to Xiao Zhang in Hokkien: "Wait for us to discuss again, there are more important things to do." He looked at the time and said to Zong Zhenlei: "Okay, let's do this today, we will look for you again when we have something." ”

Zong Zhenlei nodded and said, "Yes, I won't leave the local area in the near future anyway." ”

Xiao Zhang took out a business card and handed it to Zong Zhenlei and said, "If you still have something to think of, you can contact us; Since you said that the void is watching you in the dark, you must be safe; If you find any more traces of the empty edge, please let us know in time. ”

After the police left, Zong Zhenlei felt that his heart was hanging; The police's questioning did not involve the "Golden Lily Project", which dispels his original idea that it might be related to that plan, but he is shocked to learn from the police that Tongyun was poisoned; He had a sense of confusion that their research had not touched anyone's interests, but that danger was approaching; He called Li Ruhui and said that he didn't want to go into the library anymore and wanted to breathe outside for a while.

Li Ruhui's happy voice came from the mobile phone: "It just so happens that I have something to tell you, I'll go out to find you, let's go to a café to talk." ”

Li Ruhui came out after a while and found Zong Zhenlei, and Zong Zhenlei asked, "Where to go?" ”

Li Ruhui took his arm and said, "I know that there is a family in Vientiane City whose coffee is particularly fragrant, and I want to treat myself." ”

Zong Zhenlei asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Li Ruhui patted the laptop bag and said, "Major discovery, I'll let you see it when I get there." ”

Li Ruhui didn't seem to want him to keep asking questions, so she didn't tell him, and took him through Guangbei Street and walked towards Vientiane City.

Entering the café, Li Ruhui asked for a caramel macchiato, and Zong Zhenlei asked for a latte.

Li Ruhui took a sip of the coffee in her cup, then took Zong Zhenlei's cup and sniffed it, and said, "It's still the coffee brewed by Ma Zhen's mother." Seeing Zong Zhenlei's uncertain look, Li Ruhui remembered what the two policemen were looking for just now, and asked, "What did you talk about with the police?" ”

Zong Zhenlei stirred the latte in the cup, and said with a low mood: "Tongyun is dead." ”

Li Ruhui was taken aback: "Wasn't he okay when you left?" ”

"Yes, listening to the police, he was poisoned, and I have a feeling that it seems that the matter is related to the empty edge, because there are only two people in the temple, the empty edge and the cloud. Tongyun was killed and the void edge came to spy on us, I think there is a problem here. ”

"Why do you have such an idea?"

"I originally thought that the arrival of the police was related to the 'Golden Lily Project', the subject of my research, but the police did not mention it when they asked questions, and they asked about my contact with Kongyuan, and I very much suspect that when I went to the temple in a small fishing village, Kongyuan eavesdropped on the conversation between me and Tongyun, because Tongyun's death and tracking us only happened after I went to Tongyun to learn about those historical facts."

"You mean that Kongyuan became interested in the search for treasure you talked about, so he came with you to spy on our research on Yongzuo Temple?"

"You're right, that's how I think about it. However, I also think about whether someone is directing behind the empty edge? Because in this series of events, from the actions of keeping an eye on us, to the dormitory manager in your dormitory, it is not like he can do it alone. ”

Li Ruhui asked in surprise: "Isn't it a person who is staring at us?" Not a person pretending to be the hostel manager? Isn't it still a person to pick up Mr. Hong? ”

"That's not what I meant, I'll tell you more." Zong Zhenlei looked at her and said: "Let's go to Yongzuo Temple to take pictures, it was the second day I came back from a small fishing village, and you found out that you were being followed that day; And that day's action was improvised, and only three of us knew about going to Yongzuo Temple, in addition to the two of us, there was also Professor Li. So, if the person following is Empty Fate, how does he know where we are going? ”

Li Ruhui's eyes widened and said, "That's right. ”

Zong Zhenlei continued to analyze: "The matter of picking up Mr. Hong was notified by Professor Li, and you notified me again, and it was only the three of us who knew about it, but what made us miss the pick-up time was the fake dormitory manager, and I suspect that he knew that we were going to the airport to pick up Mr. Hong that day, and specially delayed our pick-up time; But how did he know we were going to pick us up that day? ”

Li Ruhui frowned and didn't speak.

Zong Zhenlei continued: "Let's take today's look again, when you set off early in the morning, you sent a message to Professor Li and I saw it, this is another action that the three of us know, how did Kong Yuan know that we were going to Yongzuo Temple, and then he also went there, as if he was spying on us, isn't it weird?" ”
