Zhao Xiangwan could see that Lu Zhiying was a very unconfident person, accustomed to looking at people's faces, this kind of person usually had an unhappy childhood and a depressed family. Shi Tong is a humble gentleman, strict with himself and lenient with others, maybe after marrying Shi Tong, Lu Zhiying will experience the happiness of being respected, right? repays the favor, so Lu Zhiying will do her best to raise Shi Qiyan, treat her as her own, and look at her like an eyeball.

Zhao Xiangwan slowed down her speech, so as not to make her nervous. If Lu Zhiying was nervous, her mind would go blank and she wouldn't be able to think of anything.

"It's not in a hurry, it doesn't matter. Think about it again, what day of the week is the day when Mr. Shi sends the expert to the train station? Who's with you? ”

Zhao Xiangwan's attitude made Lu Zhiying relax a little: "I want to think about it, you let me think about it." It was Saturday, Mr. Shi drove a small car, the driver Xiao Wang followed, there were two experts in Kyoto, oh, by the way, Mr. Shi also brought a camera at that time, and the experts said that the railway station in our star city was very distinctive, and we wanted to take pictures. ”

Saturday? On January 17, 1981, it was the day Zhai Xinlian took the train home!

Gu Zhiguang's eyes bloomed with a scorching light: "Where is the driver Xiao Wang now?" ”

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "What about the photo?" ”

Lu Zhiying stood up: "Photos? I'll look for it. The driver, Xiao Wang, had already resigned and went to the sea, not knowing where he went. After Mr. Shi left, I packed up all the photos he had taken and put them at the bottom of the bookcase according to the time. ”

Gu Zhiguang's heart began to beat wildly, if there really is a photo, it is extremely important evidence!

"Go quickly, go quickly, you go and look for the photos of the train station on January 17, 1981, the 12th day of the lunar month."

Lu Zhiying was startled by his excited and somewhat deformed voice, her face turned a little pale, and she didn't move for a long time.

Zhao Xiangwan said softly: "Aunt Lu, please help us find it and see if there is a group photo of the train station that day." Whether you have it or not, it doesn't matter, you look for it slowly. ”

Lu Zhiying came to her senses at this time: "Oh, oh, okay, you sit down first, I'll go to find it, I'll go find it." ”

Lu Zhiying entered the room, Gu Zhiguang couldn't sit still at all, stood up and circled around Zhao Xiangwan: "Great, Xiangwan, it's really good!" This is really Skynet's magnificence but not leakage, if there is a photo of Jia Shendu and Zhai Xinlian at the train station, I see how he quibbles! ”

Zhao Xiangwan felt that he was too composed: "What are you excited about?" Will the photo definitely capture Jia Shendu? Maybe it's just a chance encounter, maybe it's just Mr. Shi and the two experts in the photo? ”

Gu Zhiguang shouted for a while, and begged: "Xiang Wan, Xiao Wan, Wan Wan, Miss Zhao, can you please say a few nice words?" Can you dream a little? What if? What if there is? We've been running for so long, and all we ask about is just some fragmentary memories, which can't be used as strong evidence at all. What if there really are photos to prove it? That dog thing can't escape the punishment of the law! ”

Zhao Xiangwan was steady, no matter how crazy Gu Zhiguang was, he didn't say a word, and lowered his head to drink ice soda.

After a while, Lu Zhiying came out of the house with a white paper bag in her hand and a stack of photos in it. The white paper bag was printed with the words "Red Star Photo Studio", on which was written the time when the film was handed in and the time when the photo was taken.

Gu Zhiguang hurriedly took the paper bag, his hands trembled a little: "The printing time is January 18, 1981, and the time to take the film is January 25, 1981, 25?" He looked up at Lu Zhiying, didn't Mr. Shi jump off the building on the 23rd?

Lu Zhiying nodded tearfully: "Yes, after my husband died, I sorted out my belongings and found a document in his drawer to take a photo." In order to keep it as a souvenir, I later went to get the photo and kept it until now. ”

Gu Zhiguang hurriedly took out the photo in the paper bag and put it on the coffee table.

Shi Tong is an architectural designer and has an old-fashioned film camera brought back from country D at home. There are about 20 photos in this batch, mainly conference photos and building monomers. Gu Zhiguang's eyes were sharp, and he saw the beautiful spire of Xingshi Railway Station at a glance, and took out the photo to take a closer look.

It was a group photo, and the two men in their forties in the middle, wearing thick winter clothes, should be the two experts sent away by Shi Tong, standing with serious expressions, behind them was the waiting hall of Xingshi Railway Station, and there was a crowded crowd.

Gu Zhiguang looked left and right, found nothing, was a little frustrated, and then pulled the rest of the photos, but there was nothing. How full the expectations were before, and how strong the sense of loss is now, Gu Zhiguang couldn't help but wail: "What's the matter? What's going on? No......"

Zhao Xiangwan took the photo, looked at it for a long time, and then whispered: "Gu Zhiguang, you come to see this!" ”

Gu Zhiguang hurried over: "Where, where?" ”

Zhao Xiangwan pointed to a passer-by who was blocked by experts: "Look at this person, is it Jia Shendu?" ”

It's just a back, very, very small, as small as a fingernail. A skinny man wearing a tartan coat, a dark scarf around his neck, and a blue-gray handbag in his hand. Gu Zhiguang stared at it for a long time: "Really?" Is that him? ”

Lu Zhiying took a magnifying glass: "Here." ”

Gu Zhiguang took the magnifying glass with the tortoiseshell handle, and the slippery feeling made him stunned for a moment: "This is?" ”

Lu Zhiying glanced at this magnifying glass, and her eyes were full of nostalgia: "It's Mr. Shi's old thing, he often has to look at pictures and pay attention to details, so he bought this magnifying glass in the cultural relics market." ”

Gu Zhiguang took a magnifying glass and put it on top of the photo with Zhao Xiangwan to look at it carefully.

"Short, that's a bit like."

"Dressed like a cultural person, I don't know if Jia Shendu has this tweed coat."

"This kind of tote bag seems to be available to many people in that era, and it is necessary for business trips."

"It's just a back, it's hard to say."

The two discussed for a long time, and finally Gu Zhiguang put down the magnifying glass with some loss, and said to Lu Zhiying: "Oh, by the way, there are negatives, right?" ”

Lu Zhiying said: "Yes, it's in a paper bag." ”

After the film is washed in the studio, the printed negative is usually placed in a bag. When Lu Zhiying sorted out the photos, she cut out the negatives one by one and put them neatly in a small bag, which made it look more neat and neat.

Gu Zhiguang took out the film negatives, looked for them one by one, and finally took out the group photo of the train station: "I can borrow the photos and negatives?" ”

Lu Zhiying said nonchalantly: "If you think it's useful, take it." "There is no Mr. Shi in this photo, and Lu Zhiying doesn't care.

Gu Zhiguang solemnly put away the photos and negatives, still feeling a little lost in his heart. I thought I would be able to find strong evidence, but I didn't expect it...... It's just a plausible back, and there's no way to make out it.

Zhao Xiangwan: "It's okay, at least we have made some progress." ”

Gu Zhiguang cheered up: "Yes, on the 17th, it is very likely that Mr. Shi Tong met Jia Shendu and Zhai Xinlian, and then what?" Jia Shen is a thief and wants to kill Mr. Shi? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Lu Zhiying froze: "Mr. Shi was pushed down by him?" ”

Her voice suddenly raised: "Why is he doing this?" Although my husband often scolded him at home, he never did anything harmful, at most, when he came to him and said that he wanted to cooperate, he sternly refused, so would he kill someone? Didn't you say that it was because Mr. Shi found out that the leaders of the design institute were corrupt, so he was killed by them? I've been out looking at everyone like a bad guy these days. Why did you become a bad person again now that Mr. Jia is a bad person? ”

Seeing that she didn't understand anything, Gu Zhiguang sighed and explained, "We came here today to find out the truth about Mr. Shi's death. Corruption is a possibility, but it is also possible to meet Jia Shendu at the train station. Jia Shendu lied to the police, saying that he took the train back to his hometown on the 15th, but appeared at the train station on the 17th, which involved a case of missing female students. ”

Lu Zhiying couldn't hold much in her mind, but she accurately captured the word "female student", and suddenly thought of something: "I remember, when Mr. Shi scolded Jia Banlun, he mentioned a female student, saying that the female student is very good, but Jia Banlun is unbearable as his teacher, and he is simply a beast." ”

Beast? Hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan had reason to suspect that Shi Tong did meet her on January 17, 1981, when Zhai Xinlian left school and was about to get on the bus, and saw her and Jia Shenalone together at the same time. It is very likely that the picture at that time was a little unbearable, so it aroused Shi Tong's anger.

Jia Shendu must have talked to Shi Tong, otherwise he would not have made Shi Tong so disgusted.

But what did they say at the time? Why did Shi Tong be so sad that he lost sleep, and repeatedly nagged that he was sorry for the country, sorry for the party, and sorry for Qin Chihe?

Or are they two different things, just coming together in one place?

There was too much information, and Zhao Xiangwan felt a little pain in his head.

Thinking of what Lu Zhiying said just now, "At most, when he came to him and said that he wanted to cooperate, he sternly refused", so he asked: "Jia Banlun is looking for Mr. Shi Tong to cooperate?" What form of cooperation? ”

Lu Zhiying looked dazed: "I don't know." I don't understand any of that. ”

Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "Isn't it the long-term insomnia during the period before Mr. Shi's death?" Do you know why? ”

Lu Zhiying shook her head: "Mr. Shi holds everything in his heart and doesn't say anything." He was so angry that he didn't eat, and he sat alone in his study and muttered to himself, which I sometimes heard a little about. What I said just now was said by Mr. Shi alone, not to me. ”

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "After Mr. Shi died, did the people who came to mourn say some strange things?" ”

In the campus poisoning case, Qiao Xiaohong once behaved strangely when she saw Qin Yueying's mother because of guilt, and she stopped talking.

If there is another hidden reason for Shi Tong's jumping off the building, the insider may be strange when mourning because of guilt.

Lu Zhiying thought carefully.

[What's weird?] The condolence gift sent by Secretary Jiang is 200 yuan, is it strange? Others gave ten or twenty yuan, but Secretary Jiang gave two hundred yuan. 】

[When Cai Qiyun saw me, she was in tears, grabbed my hand and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, just kept saying sorry, sorry, isn't this strange? 】

Zhao Xiangwan said softly: "Say whatever you want, don't worry." Even if it's just a little bit, it may be able to provide useful clues for solving the case. ”

After dispelling her concerns, Lu Zhiying began to talk about the people or things she felt was wrong. Lu Zhiying has a sensitive personality and is very sensitive to the likes and dislikes of others, but she usually doesn't dare to say it in her heart. This time, Zhao Xiangwan was willing to listen, so she poured beans into a bamboo tube, and said it all out of her voice.

Secretary Jiang used to come to his house to drink tea, but a week before Mr. Shi died, he was gone, and the gift money he gave was ten times that of ordinary people;

Cai Qiyun took her hand with a look of guilt;

Wu Lijun bowed one more when he was incense, and his expression was a little flustered;

Dean Liu's wife looked disdainful when she saw her;

……

Hearing this, Gu Zhiguang's eyes widened: I didn't expect Lu Zhiying to look honest, but she actually held a grudge very much, twelve years have passed, and she remembers every penny clearly.

Zhao Xiangwan didn't have any expression on his face, he wrote it down seriously, and nodded while listening, as if Lu Zhiying was saying a wise saying. Lu Zhiying vented all her grievances in one go, and after finishing speaking, she was a little embarrassed: "Am I a little small-bellied?" I don't usually do that. ”

Zhao Xiangwan knew why. It's not that the honest person has no dissatisfaction in his heart, he just quietly suppressed it, and now he has given her a fair and honest reason, let her say it, and she will naturally speak freely.

After Lu Zhiying finished speaking, Zhao Xiangwan nodded seriously: "Thank you for providing useful clues, we will investigate further." ”

Speaking of this, Shi Qiyan came out of the house.

After resting for a few days, the blue shadows under her eyes gradually became lighter, and her whole spirit looked much better, and her face seemed to glow.

Shi Qiyan wore a simple pure white sleeveless dress, gorgeous and noble, I really couldn't imagine that such a beautiful and excellent girl would be so violent by the tutor that she would commit suicide and jump off the building.

Seeing Gu Zhiguang and Zhao Xiangwan coming to the house, Shi Qiyan greeted politely and sat quietly on the sofa: "You guys are here to tell me the true cause of my father's death?" ”

In the face of the beautiful and aggressive Shi Qiyan, Gu Zhiguang, who has always been known for his articulate voice, spoke a little stuck, and he didn't dare to say a word of lie: "At that time, in order to coax you not to jump off the building, I made up some words, don't blame me." ”

Shi Qiyan seemed to have expected it, bowed slightly, and did not continue to investigate, but looked at Zhao Xiangwan and said solemnly: "Thank you." ”

[Thank you for telling me that what the teacher said was wrong; Thank you for telling me that you can't let your relatives hurt your enemies quickly; Thank you for exposing the fact that the teacher didn't care about me in the slightest in front of so many people. 】

Shi Qiyan was a little cold, and only said three words simply, but Zhao Xiangwan had already heard the words in his heart, and said with a smile: "You're welcome." ”

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the room was harmonious.

The information provided by Shi Qiyan was similar to that of Lu Zhiying, as a supplement, Shi Qiyan did not know the true relationship between Jia Shendu and his father, but admired Jia Shendu because he studied under Zhu Chengling, so he applied for his graduate school and did his best to complete all the tasks he assigned.

It's just a pity that no matter how hard Shi Qiyan tries, Jia Shendu will always have a way to find faults.

If she is assiduously diligent, he says that it takes talent to do learning; If she is innovative, he will say that scientific research needs to be meticulous and rigorous, in a word, praise in public to isolate her relationship with her classmates, and criticize behind her back to suppress her confidence. Shi Qiyan had become arrogant and withdrawn because of her father's death, but now she has become cautious after studying Jia Shendu's graduate school.

Especially this summer vacation, following Jia Shendu to go out to investigate and do projects, Jia Shendu intensified, which made Shi Qiyan's psychological pressure more and more intense, until the last sentence: You are not as good as your father, which directly made Shi Qiyan have a nervous breakdown and sprout a will to die.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiangwan said to Shi Qiyan: "We learned something about Jia Shendu at school today. In fact, Jia Shendu was nominally a disciple of Master Zhu Chengling, but in fact he was the first student to post Master Zhu's big-character poster, forcing the master to almost die. ”

When Shi Qiyan heard about it for the first time, Huo Di stood up: "What? ”

Zhao Xiangwan explained the relationship between Jia Shendu, Zhu Chengling and Shi Tong, Shi Qiyan's face turned iron-blue, and two words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "Shameless!" ”

I only hate that when my father talked about Jia Shendu, he was called Jia Banlun, and my father's brothers and sisters gradually lost contact with Master Zhu's death, plus Jia Shendu became famous in the industry, and that past was forgotten, otherwise...... If he knew that Jia Shendu was such a treacherous, treacherous and vicious person, Shi Qiyan would definitely not study in his graduate school.

Zhao Xiangwan didn't want to see Shi Qiyan blame herself: "Jia Shendu deliberately concealed it, many people in the school don't know his true relationship with Zhu Chengling, you were deceived by him, this is his problem, not your fault." ”

Shi Qiyan pursed her lips: "I will find the leaders of the college next semester and ask for a change of tutor." ”

Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "It's good." ”

However, Shi Qiyan may not need to apply. If the investigation of the serious crime team goes smoothly, it should be possible to invite Professor Jia to the city bureau for tea at the end of August.

After lunch, Zhao Xiangwan and Gu Zhiguang, under the leadership of Lu Zhiying, visited some old employees of the design institute, who were also the people who Lu Zhiying felt was wrong.

In the course of visiting again and again, Zhao Xiangwan eliminated it little by little, and finally sorted out a few useful clues.

First, Shi Tong went upstairs alone during his lunch break, and passed by Cai Qiyun and Wu Lijun, who worked in the structure group on the fifth floor. Afterwards, the two knew that Shi Tong had jumped off the building and felt very guilty.

Second, Shi Tong was in a separate office, Secretary Jiang walked past his room on the day of the jump, and seemed to hear him on the phone, and the voice was very loud and unhappy, and he listened curiously, but because he left with a stomach at the time, he didn't pay attention, and after thinking about it, if he went in and cared about it, maybe Shi Tong wouldn't jump off the building. Because of this, Secretary Jiang gave a gift of 200 yuan to express his apologies.
