Chapter Forty-Six: We've Done Our Best
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the relics had all been sorted out, but Anxin still didn't get the answer she wanted.
The mood was on the verge of collapse, and for the first time in so many years, Anxin was so anxious. Outside the door, Yang Hongwei kept knocking on the door, but Anxin didn't open the door, only replied: "I'm fine, you go back, let me be quiet." ”
Sitting in front of the old man's desk, Anxin re-sorted the information on the side, and when he was about to collapse, the pot of chrysanthemums on the table attracted Anxin's attention.
It was bought by Anxin at the flower shop next door, but she suddenly remembered that the word chrysanthemum was mentioned several times in Chen Lao's diary. Quickly found the relevant text information, and re-sorted it with peace of mind.
On the day Chen Lao and Zheng Xiuxia got married, he specially bought a pot of chrysanthemums and gave them to Zheng Xiuxia as a wedding gift.
The diary said, "The sun is setting in the west and sparkling, and our new life is as delicate as that pot of chrysanthemums." ”
Sparkling, reassuring to think, it must be a river or lake. She quickly took out her phone and opened the map, but to her disappointment, the nearest Weiming Lake was three kilometers away, and the nearest moat was even farther away, seven kilometers.
Based on this speculation alone, it would be impossible to find Zheng Xiuxia's burial place near the moat or Weiming Lake.
Although the old man's diary did not say it explicitly, he mentioned chrysanthemums and rivers several times, and he guessed that this place, which was extremely special to the old man, was likely to be Zheng Xiuxia's burial place.
Can ...... now
The only remaining clues were suddenly broken, and An An became agitated again.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the reassuring mood had gradually recovered, sitting at the desk looking at the old man's photo, and couldn't help asking, "Old Chen, can you tell me?" ”
At this moment, An Xin suddenly saw the horseshoe watch on the table, and instantly had an epiphany, and immediately took out his mobile phone to call Yang Hongwei.
"Do me a favor."
"You say."
"Tianfeng History Museum must have a map of Tianfeng thirty years ago, you can help me check if there are any rivers or lakes near this community. At this point, the museum should be closed, you ......"
"Don't worry, I know."
Yang Hongwei hung up the phone directly, he knew that Anxin must have thought of something, so he hurriedly contacted the director, and finally contacted the person in charge of the museum after several layers of relationships.
Knowing that it was related to the deceased old man, the museum director was also very cooperative, and at about eleven o'clock in the evening, Yang Hongwei finally found the map of Tianfeng that year.
An Xin also suddenly realized that Zheng Xiuxia died more than 40 years ago, and Tianfeng at that time was completely different from now, as long as she found the nearest river or lake according to the map at that time, she might be able to find Zheng Xiuxia's burial place.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Yang Hongwei really found out that it was not far to the north of the old man's house, fifty meters away, and it was the location of Tianfeng's moat more than 40 years ago. It's just that later Tianfeng was expanded and rebuilt, and the moat was diverted to other places.
Yang Hongwei found out through accurate map information that the location of the moat at that time was only 49 meters away from the nearest place of the old man's house, and even the angle was very clear.
An Xin suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, according to her speculation, Zheng Xiuxia's burial place was likely to be nearby.
The good news is that the area is now a garden and there are no buildings.
Yang Hongwei called many people to come over to help, and the leaders of the sub-bureau also sent police to help when they learned about the situation, and many people from the community also came. Even after Jiang Xinran learned about the situation, he called the company's designers to the community overnight to help.
Although there is a lot of strength in numbers, they have been looking for more than two hours, and they almost turned over the ground, but a group of people still did not find any information related to the burial place of the old man.
"Could it be that Miss An misunderstood?" Director Chen asked helplessly.
Anxin shook her head, she firmly believed that the moat must have a special meaning to the old man, and Zheng Xiuxia's burial place must be related to the moat.
After more than an hour, the people from the sub-bureau and the community had already returned one after another, leaving Yang Hongwei, Jiang Xinran and An An at the scene.
"It's okay, even if it disturbs the old man's purity, Old Chen will definitely be able to understand." Yang Hongwei comforted.
It was 10 a.m. the next day.
The three of them didn't rest all night, and Anxin didn't sit idle for a moment. At this time, the three of them sat on the grass in a daze, and not far away, Director Chen had already led people to the old man's house.
Jiang Xinran hugged Anxin into her arms, she knew that Anxin was not as strong as she looked in her bones, but this mouth really would not comfort people, and could only be replaced by actions.
There are many high-rise buildings overhead, only Chen Lao's old house looks out of place.
Yang Hongwei also patted Anxin's shoulder: "It's okay, the old man won't blame you, we have done our best." ”
Just when Director Chen arranged for the criminal investigators to enter the room, Anxin, who had a heavy face, suddenly had a thrill, got up and ran directly in front of everyone.
stretched out his hand and blocked the way of the people.
"Miss An, don't insist anymore, we know that you have done your best, and there is no way to do it now." Director Chen's face was a little ugly.
"Miss, please don't affect our normal work."
“……”
Everyone thought that Anxin was going to resist hard, but at this time, Anxin was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Seeing that he couldn't stop everyone's actions, Anxin walked into the old man's house first, found a shovel in the narrow corridor, and then returned to the door of the house.
"Wait, give me five minutes, five minutes."
Seeing the state of reassurance, Director Chen was also a little unbearable, and his eyes motioned to the staff to wait.
Anxin walked in front of the chrysanthemum, carefully dug a circle, and removed the chrysanthemum completely.
At this time, Yang Hongwei also realized something, and hurriedly found tools to dig up with Anxin.
A minute passed......
Two minutes passed......
Just when everyone's last glimmer of hope was about to be dashed, Yang Hongwei suddenly shouted: "Found it, found it!" ”
The incredible crowd hurriedly surrounded them, and sure enough, there was a delicate urn in the earthen pit, on which the word Zheng Xiuxia was written.
The matter was finally solved perfectly, and the excited Director Chen didn't care about so many people watching him, holding his reassuring hand and thanking him again and again.
After all, Director Chen is already in his forties and fifties, and of course he also wants the old man's final purity not to be disturbed.
Anxin should have thought of it a long time ago, and it was the old man's house that made her suddenly realize.
The old city was renovated, and the original residents here moved away, and only Chen Lao remained. Is it really like what netizens said, Chen Lao is like this in order to get more compensation?
Tianfeng is the most bullish nail household, is Chen Lao really such an unreasonable person?
Of course not, in fact, when Anxin saw the transplanted chrysanthemum under the willow tree outside the room, she should have thought that that place was the existence of special meaning to the old man.
The reason why Chen Lao refused to move away was because her destination was here.
