Chapter Forty-Eight: The "Magic" of Stonehenge

After dinner, Lao Chen and Xiao Zhang drove to Fenhe Park.

The two got out of the car and commented on the fish they had just eaten for dinner as they walked; They didn't expect to be able to eat such fresh grouper in the north, and the steaming time was just right, and the taste was very smooth. The delicacy of this fish made the two forget their worries at work for a while, and their mood improved a lot.

There are a lot of people in Fenhe Park, and here is the same as Xuefu Park, there are many people in the square; The largest cluster is singing red songs, and the crowd is passionate; There are also smaller communities, which sing local folk songs and operas, with melodies ranging from euphemistic to high-pitched; There are also people dancing in their own formations, dancing their favorite square dances, ballroom dances, fan dances, etc.; However, it is larger than Gakufu Park, so it is not as crowded as there.

The two walked along the stone path in the park's grove, and found the big stone henge according to the "Yanqiu" scenic spot found on the navigation map.

Xiao Zhang took pictures around the scenic spots, and although he turned on the flash, he still felt that the photos taken with his mobile phone were not very good; Lao Chen turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and followed him around the big stone henge.

This large stone henge attraction seems to be composed of two large blocks and a small large stone, this kind of cobble-shaped stones stacked together are common in the mountains behind small fishing villages in Fujian.

There are two seal characters engraved on the west side of one of the big stones in the big stone henge, and Xiao Zhang pointed to it and asked Lao Chen: "Are these two characters 'Yanqiu'?" He knew that Lao Chen's children learned calligraphy and seals, and Lao Chen often urged children to practice calligraphy, so they should know more about seals.

Lao Chen copied these two words in the air with his hand and said: "Yes, it is the 'Yanqiu' of the seal, and the appearance of this 'Qiu' character is different from the shape of the italic characters we usually write, which is not easy to recognize." ”

Xiao Zhang turned to the east-facing side of the big stone henge, and saw the words engraved on the big stone flying and phoenix dancing, and the light was not good at night, so he couldn't recognize what was written; Lao Chen came to read it, but because most of the words couldn't be read clearly, he struggled to guess for a while.

"Don't bother, I'll take a picture of it, go back and take a closer look." Xiao Zhang stopped Lao Chen, who was still struggling to read and write, took a few photos, and asked: "Looking at the layout of this big stone henge, do you think you can see what is hidden?" ”

Lao Chen pondered the big stone henge in front of him and shook his head: although he saw this big stone henge, it seemed that he had found the final answer, but this answer was not like what he wanted.

Xiao Zhang took a few panoramic photos from a distance, and said to himself: "What is hidden in this 'Yanqiu', that it can make Kongyuan contact him as Liu Ermao wants, and make Kongyuan kill people like a demon?" ”

Lao Chen used his mobile phone to shoot a few videos of Stonehenge and its surroundings: "Enchanted? He thought of what Zong Zhenlei said that Professor Li asked Professor Li to give to Kongyuan, could it be that Professor Li wrote in the letter that these big stones had become the source of magic power?

After Xiao Zhang finished taking the photo, he said while looking back at the effect of the photo: "Also, when I read the draft of the letter written by Professor Li in the afternoon, I thought of a question, since this professor met Tongyun and Kongyuan when he went to collect wind, why didn't he send a letter to Tongyun?" If it's an acquaintance's greeting, shouldn't it be written to both of them? Or it's better to ask one person for another when you write it, right? ”

Lao Chen looked around the big stone henge and found nothing to pay attention to, so he turned around and walked to a park bench: "I agree with what you said." The problem you found shows that he doesn't want to deal with Tongyun, and it also shows that his relationship with Kongyuan is by no means like the general friend relationship reflected in his letter, or in other words, his relationship with Kongyuan is better than Tongyun, so he asked Zong Zhenlei to give the letter to Kongyuan. ”

Lao Chen sat down, Xiao Zhang also sat down, took out a cigarette and handed it to Lao Chen, Lao Chen shook his hand, indicating that he didn't want to smoke, and Xiao Zhang smoked by himself.

This Fen River Park was built along both banks of the Fen River. At night, the high-rise buildings on both sides of the river and the bridge across the river are decorated with colorful and brilliant lighting, and the dazzling colors and various shapes of light and shadow are reflected on the wide surface of the Fen River, like a fantasy world with sparkling waves.

Xiao Zhang stroked at the night sky: "The night view of this river is much better than the sea in my hometown, look at the lights here, how beautiful it is; If I go to my hometown fishing village at night to see the sea, the sea is full of black rumbling, walking high and low on the beach, which makes people worry. I heard that in the past, there would be 'water ghosts' coming from the other side of the river, and they would arrest people as soon as they were bored. ”

Lao Zhang knew that he was talking about the situation during the confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and later the two sides of the strait had exchanges, and this kind of situation of 'water ghosts' catching alive was gone, but he did not say anything; he did not want to talk about that topic, and he still wanted to concentrate on pondering this "wild goose hill" and Xiao Zhang's "obsession".

Xiao Zhang saw that Lao Chen didn't speak, and he didn't speak, and smoked silently.

The two sat silently for a while, and Lao Chen opened his mouth to break the silence: "Let's arrest the criminal, the important thing is to find out the original cause of the criminal's crime; We already know that Kongyuan is a woman, she kills people, and she continues to commit crimes, what is the reason for her crime? According to the original analysis, it was for the sake of 'Yanqiu', and now we have found the big stone henge of 'Yanqiu', but we have lost our way, indicating that we still haven't found the cause. He paused for a moment and then said, "When you mentioned 'Burning Clouds' just now, you immediately thought of the school when you were a child, and you thought of your hometown, and there will be teachers and classmates, so what will the word 'Yanqiu' bring to Kongyuan?" Could it be the cause that can cause her to be so impulsive? ”

Xiao Zhang paused to smoke, his hand hung in the air, pointed to the darkness, and said, "The original cause you said refers to the memories of the time when you got along with the professor?" ”

Lao Chen didn't answer him directly, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and asked: "You see, the people in the village reported that they had little contact with people, and they were called 'cold-blooded', but she seemed to get along well with Professor Li, otherwise how could Professor Li write to her alone?" ”

Xiao Zhang thought about it and said: "When Kongyuan heard the word 'about Yanqiu', she was restless, which shows that Kongyuan knows not only the big stone henge represented by the word Yanqiu, I think she may also know that this big stone henge is in the city where Professor Li lives, so when she heard the name of Big Stone Henge, she knew that it was the letter that Professor Li asked Zong Zhenlei to give her, and it seems that she cares a lot about her relationship with Professor Li." ”

Lao Chen stood up, smoked a cigarette and paced in front of the stool: "Although Professor Li said that he didn't live in that small fishing village monastery for a long time, and he didn't know Kongyuan for a long time, it seems that the memories of that interaction made Kongyuan remember deeply, so when Kongyuan was extorted money by Liu Ermao with the letter in his hand, he would kill the killer to recapture the letter, and similarly, maybe it was because this letter caused a conflict between her and Tongyun, and she killed Tongyun desperately in order to achieve the desired goal; In this way, this letter is an ordinary greeting on the surface, but it hides her relationship with Professor Li, which is probably what you said makes her 'obsessed'; in the afternoon in the school park, I said, 'There are other factors that we don't understand', and now it seems that this factor should be this relationship, which is the original cause of what I said. ”

The cigarette in Xiao Zhang's fingers was about to burn out, but he didn't realize it, and said, "Where will their relationship go?" Professor Li said that when he went to the small fishing village temple to collect style, Kongyuan was sixteen years old, and he should have a woman's body at this time, could he really not see that she was a woman? ”

Lao Chen shook his head: "It's hard to say now, if Kong Yuan doesn't say that she is a woman, and she is wrapped in gauze, she has a shaved head, and she is wearing a wide robe, it will be difficult for others to recognize her." ”

Xiao Zhang stepped on the cigarette butt, saw a roadside garbage bin not far away, picked up the cigarette butt and walked over and threw it in, and said to Lao Chen when he came back: "But it was sixteen years old, the age of the flower season, and the love was just blooming!" ”

Lao Chen sensed what Xiao Zhang wanted to say, and before he could respond to Xiao Zhang, he noticed that a man and a woman were coming along the path towards this side, the two of them were a little strange, walking and stopping, the woman seemed to be crying, and the man was comforting her.

Lao Chen felt that the figures of these two people seemed to have been seen, and when they approached and carefully identified them, it turned out to be Zong Zhenlei and Li Ruhui; Lao Chen patted Xiao Zhang and gestured with his hand, and Xiao Zhang went over to stop the two.

Zong Zhenlei didn't seem to expect to see two policemen from Fujian here, and before Lao Chen asked, Zong Zhenlei first introduced Li Ruhui to the two as his girlfriend and a partner in the research team, and then talked about what they encountered: After Li Ruhui found out that the laptop was stolen, the two immediately went to the police station to report the case, and after the incident, Zong Zhenlei drove Li Ruhui back to school, passing by Fenhe Park, Zong Zhenlei saw that Li Ruhui was depressed, so he proposed to get out of the car and go to the park to take a walk; But Li Ruhui couldn't lift her emotions, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, so that she cried while walking.

After listening to Zong Zhenlei's explanation, Xiao Zhang asked: "Is the information in the notebook important?" ”

Li Ruhui wiped her tears and said: "That's more than a month of hard work!" ”

Zong Zhenlei comforted her and said: "Don't worry too much, don't I still have some information here, and I can get it all by supplementing it, anyway, I already know where to find the information, and I am familiar with it." ”

Lao Chen suddenly thought of a related point, so he asked, "If it is not confidential, can I know what topic you are researching?" ”

Zong Zhenlei briefly talked about the gist of the topic of "Research on the Origin of the Relic of Yongzuo Temple" and the composition of the research team.

Xiao Zhang listened to this, and said in a daze: "I am more interested in the composition of your research team for this topic, but I don't understand why you want to study the origin and ...... of relics."

Lao Chen interrupted Xiao Zhang's words in Hokkien dialect and said, "After listening to others, this is a whole, and there is a connection inside. Xiao Zhang said no more.

Lao Chen turned his head and said to Zong Zhenlei: "I listened to your introduction and feel that your historical knowledge is very rich, can you take a little of your time to help us introduce this place and tell us the origin of the scenic spot 'Yanqiu'?" ”

Zong Zhenlei pointed to the side of "Yanqiu": "Is that the big stone attraction?" Although the attraction was created in recent years when the park was built, the story is true, and it is an event that happened in our local area in ancient times. ”

Lao Chen and Xiao Zhang listened attentively, and Li Ruhui also turned around to listen.

Zong Zhenlei said seriously: "In the late Jin Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty in ancient times, there was a famous writer and historian who was respected as the 'Northern Literary Hero', named Yuan Haowen, who was a native of Xiurong, that is, a person from Xinzhou now, and Xinzhou City was the neighbor of the city. ”

Xiao Zhang listened and wanted to light a cigarette, but as soon as he took out the cigarette, he was stopped by Lao Chen with his eyes, and Lao Chen had already noticed that Zong Zhenlei and Li Ruhui were not smokers.

Zong Zhenlei continued: "When Yuan Hao was sixteen years old, he went to Bingzhou to take the exam, that is, to take the exam in the current city; When passing by the Fen River to rest, I saw two dead geese at the feet of a goose catcher, and I heard the goose catcher say that he had caught a goose here just now, but its partner hovered in the air, wailing for a long time and refusing to leave, and finally crashed into the river beach and died. Yuan Hao asked, felt compassion, bought two wild goose corpses from that man, and buried them in the Fen River on the bank of the Fen River. ”

Xiao Zhang said to Lao Chen: "I've heard this story before, but I thought it was a story made up in a children's book. ”

Lao Chen said to him in Hokkien again: "Say a few words, listen quietly to others, they are now our teachers!" ”

Zong Zhenlei didn't seem to understand what they were saying, but from the expressions of their conversation, he seemed to know that it was Lao Chen who didn't let Xiao open his mouth more, so he said: "These are all from ancient books, I just retell it, and the most exciting thing is still to come." The scholars who went to the exam on the same road listened to the wild goose, and were also very moved by the behavior of the two wild geese who did not give up on life and death, and wrote poems around the goose hill; In addition to grief, Yuan Haowen also wrote a poem "Yanqiu Ci", which was later sung by successive generations and was used as an expression of loyal love. ”

Li Ruhui, who had been listening, interjected and said, "I can recite it, and I will recite it to you." ”

Lao Chen smiled and made a "please" gesture to her.

Xiao Zhang didn't hold back, and spoke again: "Is the word you said the one engraved on the big stone of the scenic spot?" ”

Li Ruhui nodded and said, "Yes."

Zong Zhenlei whispered to her: "Go out of the mountain in person? ”

I saw Li Ruhui raise her face and smile at him, her mood no longer seemed to be low, and she began to recite:

"Ask the world, what is love, and the direct religion promises life and death?

There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times.

Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children.

You should have said: Stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to?

Hengfen Road, lonely when the drums, the smoke is still flat.

The soul is a little more groaning, and the mountain ghosts are crying in the wind.

The sky is also jealous, and the warblers and swallows are all loess.

Through the ages, in order to stay for the people, he sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu. ”

Xiao Zhang listened and said: "Yes, I remember that there was this song on the TV series "The Condor Heroes" in Hong Kong before, 'Ask the world, what is love, teach life and death promises', it turns out that the lyrics were written here so early by the ancients. ”

Zong Zhenlei explained like a teacher: "Therefore, Chinese culture is the wisdom inherited from ancient times. Let me explain, this poem is divided into two paragraphs, a total of 116 words. The whole poem not only praises the steadfastness of the wild goose, but also uses the scenery to reflect the nostalgia of the world; It is precisely because the opening question is like a direct torture, so that the people who sing it feel that the soul is asked, and the question is full of joy, and it also leaves room for couples to be imaginative......"

Lao Chen's eyes lit up as he listened, and before Zong Zhenlei finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Zhang, who was standing beside him, made a gesture to him, and said to Xiao Zhang in Hokkien dialect: "My Daizhi!" (Hokkien dialect: Something's up)

Xiao Zhang casually asked in Hokkien: "Go to Dele?" (Hokkien: Where to go)

Lao Chen didn't answer him, turned to Zong Li and said, "I'm sorry, you two, we have urgent matters to take a step first, and there will be a period later." ”

Then Lao Chen ignored their stunnedness, raised his hand to them, and pulled Xiao Zhang all the way away.

Xiao Zhang was confused, and asked in Hokkien dialect as he ran: "Shrimp Daizhi?" (Hokkien dialect: what is the matter)

Lao Chen hurriedly said, "Let's go back to the car." ”

Xiao Zhang slowed down and said, "Then you still need to be in such a hurry!" ”

Lao Chen pulled him again: "Run, I'm in a hurry, I want to go back and contact my colleagues here immediately." ”

Xiao Zhang trotted up again: "Found a new situation?" ”

Lao Chen gasped and said, "I have discovered the magic hidden in the Great Stone Formation. ”

Xiao Zhang asked in surprise, "Magic?" Where did it come from? ”

Lao Chen turned his head and asked him, "Didn't you hear it just now?" ”

Xiao Zhang was still a little confused: "Didn't you just hear the story of the two geese?" There is also a good question about Yuan. ”

Lao Chen turned his head: "You really know how to!" Didn't you hear 'Yanqiu'! ”

Xiao Zhang was still puzzled, but he didn't relax under his feet: "I heard that I was talking about 'Yanqiu'." ”

Lao Chen was so angry that he said loudly: "That's the code word of their relationship!" Professor Li and Kongyuan are a couple! That's the magic thing! ”

Xiao Zhang suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I understand! Kongyuan came here to find Professor Li! Right! This professor must know the whereabouts of Sora's current situation, and he should be detained immediately! ”
