Chapter 10: New Clues
Three days of rainy weather finally came to an end on Saturday morning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Maybe I was forced to stay at home for too long, but once the weather cleared, there were more people in the park in the middle of the lake, and it was much more lively than before.
Behind the rockery on the west side of the park, there is a lake-center pavilion. Qiu Zhe sat in it, facing north, sitting cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky, quietly absorbing the surrounding Kwai Shui essence.
"There's not enough here," he said, standing up after coming out of his steady, and thought to himself with regret, "It seems that we need to find a better place to collect gas." ”
Since he started cultivating the Five Emperor Scrolls half a year ago, he moved to a nearby apartment. In order to collect the essence of water and refine it into the Black Emperor Great Demon Divine Skill.
Especially after the rain, the surrounding square inch of heaven and earth is full of sunflower water essence. In order to avoid waste, Qiu Zhe has been living in the Lake Center Pavilion for the past few days and has not left for a moment. As for Mandarin Duck and Amber, it was entrusted to Cui Peng.
There is a way of every inch of time and every inch of work, Qiu Zhe is so painstaking, and the harvest is also quite rich, after practicing the northern black qi for half a year, he finally has the image of condensation, if nothing else, he will soon be able to refine the Black Emperor Spirit Bead.
"Xiaoqiu," Cui Peng carried the food box and walked along the stone bridge into the Huxin Pavilion. When the two faced each other, a trace of envy flashed on his face: "This Qi practice technique is really powerful, you haven't washed for three days, and your body is still clean, and you don't even have breath." ”
Qiu Zhe didn't care, and practiced Qi to his current state, and the purity of body and mind was only the most basic appearance. Don't say that it's only three days, those grandmasters in the Dao Sect at the beginning have been in retreat for several years, and when they come out, they are not clear and refreshed.
Like Zhang Sanfeng's raunchy appearance, a special case with the nickname "Zhang Sloppy" was actually intentional by him to show that he didn't care about appearance. At that time, it was a special period of competition for Buddhism and Taoism, and it was a different matter.
Qiu Zhe opened the food box, there was a small pot of rice, two vegetarian dishes, and a large pot of cooked beef, and the thermos next to it was filled with fresh chicken soup, and there were a lot of ginseng, wolfberries and other medicinal materials in it, exuding a unique fragrance.
Compared with those who practice martial arts, qi practitioners have higher requirements for food. Qiu Zhe has not yet reached the point where he can open the valley, and the amount of food is naturally not small. With his relationship with Cui Peng, there is no need to be polite, he didn't wash his hands at the moment, picked up the chopsticks and began to gobble up.
When he was full of food and drink, he washed his face with lake water, and then he could talk to Cui Peng:
"How's it going?"
Cui Peng took out a yellowed old newspaper from his backpack and spread it out on the bench: "There is finally news, you look at this report." ”
Qiu Zhe glanced at it, and it briefly listed the gas leak incident at a local university, and mentioned that the daughter of the head of the household, a six-year-old girl, had unfortunately died.
"There's no name on it, there's no address on it," he frowned, "how do we do that?"
Information asymmetry often makes things that seem simple become extremely complicated. For example, the girl in the blue dress incident has been spread on campus for so many years, and many people have a nose and an eye to say it. But when Cui Peng really went to investigate, he had no clue.
After all, it is an old thing, and the people who experienced it at the beginning left for various reasons, and even the management of the school has changed twice. All their clues are just rumors that they don't know how many times they have turned, and they want to follow the map, but they don't even have a clue who to go to.
The truth is buried in the fog of time, and when people want to find out, they find themselves shrouded in the fog.
Cui Peng took a lot of effort, and finally found a few old neighbors who lived nearby, from their mouths, he found some clues about the matter, but these are old people, originally I only heard about it, after so many years, the memory has long been blurred, and I can only say an approximate year.
Cui Peng was like a treasure in this regard, and immediately went to search for local newspapers in neighboring years, and organized people to investigate, and finally found the report of the original incident.
"With the specific date, we can go to the school's archives and look for the list of residents of Building 17 in South Park at that time. Cui Peng said with a smile: "Then check the situation of the households on the list one by one." ”
"Legend has it that the girl in blue was only six years old at the time, and her parents, according to common sense, should have been between thirty and forty years old at the time, and they were dual-income workers, both husband and wife were working at school, and there was an old lady in the house, and according to these characteristics, many people could be excluded. ”
"Do you have a way to get into the school's archives?" Qiu Zhe was a little skeptical.
"Don't forget what my dad does. Cui Peng said with a smile.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Only then did Qiu Zhe remember that his father, who was a sworn friend, seemed to have become the director of Jiang University not long ago, and it was precisely because of this relationship that this guy's transfer procedures could be handled so easily.
"Then it's up to you. Qiu Zhe shook the pot unceremoniously, he lacked talent and interest in these mundane affairs. In his life, it seemed that except for cultivation, everything else was just embellishment.
"Hey, you guy, don't always be a shopkeeper. Cui Peng was suddenly unhappy: "I've been busy going in and out for the past few days, I'm almost exhausted, and it's time for you to make some effort." ”
Qiu Zhe ignored his complaints: "You can find Gao Yongxia and Qiu Tingting, I think they should be happy to help." ”
"You still need to say this," Cui Peng was a little proud: "I did this from the beginning, not only Gao Yongxia and them, but also the entire Qunying Society, they are all energetic guys who have nowhere to vent and are full of fantasies in their heads. Otherwise, do you think that I can complete such a large amount of work alone?"
"You're not going to tell us all about it, are you?" Qiu Zhe felt a little headache in his head.
"Don't worry, what should be said and what should not be said, I have a sense of proportion. Cui Peng said disappreciatively.
"Whatever you want. ”
Cui Peng was about to say something more, but the mobile phone rang suddenly, and he pressed the answer button: "It's been found?" Okay, I'll be there soon." ”
Hanging up the phone, he said to Qiu Zhe with a smile: "It seems that you can't be lazy." ”
"What?" Qiu Zhe looked at him with some wariness.
Gao Yongxia called, and they found the roster of employees from the archives, and through investigation, they have basically locked the target. At that time, there were five couples living in Building 17, but only one of them, surnamed Lin, was completely consistent in age and family situation. ”
"Where are they now?" Hearing this, Qiu Zhe also came to his senses. If he can catch that ghost, it will be of great help to him to learn more about the secrets of the ghost path.
"At Koto Normal University. Cui Peng didn't sell it, and directly told the latest news: "The couple was originally lecturers at Jiangdong Normal University, and it was because their husbands were studying here at that time, so they were temporarily seconded. Less than a year after the incident, the husband's training period ended, and the two were transferred back to their original unit. ”
"So what are you waiting for, let's go. At this time, Qiu Zhe was even more anxious than Cui Peng.
The new campus of Jiangdong Normal University is on Wenyuan Road, and the couple surnamed Lin live in the faculty dormitory building south of the campus. It is said that it is a dormitory, but it is actually an ordinary commercial house, but the purchase object is limited to the teachers of the school, and the house price is subsidized by the school according to the teacher's seniority, professional title and other conditions.
When Cui Peng and Qiu Zhe rushed to Teacher Lin's house, there was no one in the house. Depending on the situation, both of them should have gone to work.
"Didn't you say there's an old lady?"
"Who knows," Cui Peng said, "I also just got the address, maybe I went to my relatives." ”
"So what do we do?"
"Wait, I'll have someone check the class schedule of the university. Cui Peng picked up his mobile phone as he spoke, and dialed a number: "Gao Yongxia, you go to the official website of the Normal University and take a look at the course schedule of Lin Jiacheng and Shang Caixia." "Lin Jiacheng monk Caixia is the name of the couple.
"Who are you looking for?" An elderly man who walked up the stairs felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two people wandering at the entrance of the stairs, and immediately asked.
"Oh, we're students at Jiang University next door. Cui Peng's eyes lit up, and he jumped down from the handrail of the stairs: "I came to find Mr. Lin, I have a topic to ask for." ”
Perhaps because he didn't think the two of them looked like bad guys, the old man was not particularly vigilant: "Oh, then it's unfortunate that you guys are here." Mr. Lin's mother died, and he went back to his hometown for funeral. ”
"Huh?" Cui Peng and Qiu Zhe were blind now, but they didn't expect to follow the clues and find them, thinking that they could see the victim, and it would be such a result.
"It seems that we have run for nothing," the two walked downstairs with a confused expression, and Cui Peng said with a little dejected. As he spoke, a woman walked upstairs with a little boy in her hand, passing by the two of them.
Qiu Zhe did not reply with a calm face, he thought of the girls who had the accident, if this matter could not be solved as soon as possible, these people might not be able to avoid misfortune.
The voice of the little old man came from behind him, as if he was greeting someone: "Xiao Shang is back, Doudou is okay?" followed by a low female voice, slightly tired and vicissitudes: "It's Uncle Li, it's okay, just take a preventive shot, Doudou didn't even cry." ”
Qiu Zhe's heart suddenly moved, turned around and walked back, Cui Peng didn't know why, but he still followed, the two returned to the entrance of the building where they were waiting before, and just saw the woman holding the key to open the door, and the old man nagged on the side: "Hey, Xiaoshang, a husband and wife for a hundred days, why bother to get to this point." ”
"Are you Teacher Shang Caixia Shang?" Cui Peng reacted immediately and hurriedly asked.
"I'm Shang Caixia," the look on the woman's face was a little numb, and she seemed to be a little uneasy: "Is there something wrong with you?"
