Chapter 60: A City-wide Search
Office of the Director of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics.
Zhang Heng was reading the materials at his desk, and the assistant Xiao Zhang knocked on the door.
"Enter. ”
Xiao Zhang came in and said, "Director, I just got the latest news, Lin Yuan's mobile phone is turned on." ”
When Zhang Heng heard this, he stood up excitedly and asked urgently, "Is it on?"
"Well, the police said it was in Lanzhou for two minutes, and then it was closed again. ”
"What the hell is going on? Could it be that he's fine? But where has he gone this month?" Zhang Heng couldn't help but muttered the question he had been thinking about.
Assistant Xiao Zhang said: "Director, do you want me to go to Lanzhou to have a look?"
Zhang Heng stopped: "No, you go and get busy with you." ”
Xiao Zhang left the office, Zhang Heng frowned and leaned back in his chair, speculating about Lin Yuan's situation in his mind.
At this time, his mobile phone rang, and he saw that it was a landline number, the area code was 0931, the area code of Lanzhou, he was stunned for a long time with the mobile phone, and waited for the mobile phone to ring five times before picking up the phone.
"Hey, who is it?" Zhang Heng asked cautiously.
"Is it Zhang Ju?"
"I am, you are?"
"I'm Lin Yuan!"
"Lin Yuan?" Zhang Heng jumped up from his chair suddenly, exclaimed, and immediately covered his mouth.
He glanced at the window, then walked over and closed the blinds, returned to his desk, and said, "Lin Yuan, are you really Lin Yuan, where have you been this month?"
"Zhang Ju, it's a long story, what happened to me is too unbelievable, I really can't help it, I can't find anyone to say, I think only you know my affairs and are willing to believe me, so I can only find you. ”
"Okay, you're in LZ City now, right?"
"Well, in Lanzhou. ”
"You stay over there and wait for me, I'll go find you now. ”
"Trouble Zhang. ”
"Tell me this, I just heard that the police are looking for you too. ”
"It's okay, they can't find me, I'll wait for you to come. ”
"Okay, that's hanging, five hours later, you call my phone again. ”
Zhang Heng called his assistant Xiao Zhang over and said, "Xiao Zhang, I'm going to go out on a long trip, you will notify you of the cancellation in the afternoon, and I'll open it again when I come back, and my phone may not be turned on during the time I go out, so I'll talk about it when I come back." ”
"Zhang Ju, where are you going?"
"Don't ask, do as I say. ”
"Okay. ”
Zhang Heng didn't stop, got out of the Cultural Relics Bureau, took a taxi and went straight to the airport.
......
After Lin Yuan called Zhang Heng, there was no money left in his pocket, the mobile phone couldn't be turned on, and WeChat Alipay couldn't be used, which was really a bit difficult.
He found a café nearby, found a secluded place to sit, and spent time leisurely reading the magazines in the café while sipping coffee.
Just as Lin Yuan stood up to leave, he suddenly saw a missing person notice on the local TV station on the TV hanging on the wall of the café.
The photo in the missing person notice, Lin Yuan took a closer look, wasn't it his own photo, and it was also broadcast on it [The whole city of Lanzhou is looking for the whereabouts of this person, and those who provide clues are rewarded heavily. ]
Lin Yuan couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, and chased him as a fugitive.
In this way, he can't swagger down the street, so he asks Misato to turn into a demon and go in front of him to find a mask.
Lin Yuan walked out of the café with his mask on, and then returned to the newsstand where he had just made a public phone.
In this day and age, public telephones have long been abolished, and it is really a great waste for him to find a newsstand with a public telephone.
He called Zhang Heng.
"Zhang Ju, have you arrived?"
"Arrived, just got off the plane. ”
"Okay, I'm at the Blue Cafe, you can take a taxi to me. ”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan returned to the café, still sitting in that position and waiting for Zhang Heng.
Half an hour later, Zhang Heng appeared in the café, Lin Yuan saw him at a glance, stood up and waved at him, Zhang Heng walked over after seeing it, and sat opposite Lin Yuan.
As soon as they met, Zhang Heng said sharply: "What the hell are you kid doing? Disappeared for a month, do you know how anxious your family is?"
Lin Yuan sighed and said, "I don't know how it came to be like this. ”
"What the hell is going on?"
Lin Yuan told Zhang Heng about how he was kidnapped by the man in black, how he met Patriarch Bodhi, then went to a ghost cave, crossed more than 50 ghosts, and how he came to Lanzhou later.
"I don't know why it's been a month, I feel like I've only been a day. ”
Zhang Heng listened to it from beginning to end, it is no longer possible to express his mood at the moment in an unbelievable way, it sounds like a real mythological story, and this experience is simply more exciting and suspenseful than a mythological story.
Zhang Heng took a sip of coffee and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I really can't understand why these weird things happened to you, but one thing I can be sure of, you must be the chosen one, otherwise why would Heavenly Court ask you to be your agent." ”
"Zhang Ju, now is not the time to talk about these things, I just saw the news, and now the whole city of Lanzhou is searching, and a missing person notice has been issued. I really don't know what to do, I don't know how I'm going to face my family, how I'm going to explain, that's why I'm coming to you to consult. ”
Zhang Heng let out a long breath and said, "Lin Yuan, you have stumped me, if it were me, I wouldn't know how to explain it." ”
"Alas, I also know it's difficult, but Zhang Ju, you have a lot of life experience and have seen a lot of winds and waves, you must have a better way than me. ”
"It's useless for you to praise me now, even if I have rich experience, I have never encountered anything like you. ”
Lin Yuan bowed his head in disappointment and said, "Then I have no choice but to tell a big lie." ”
"What are you going to do?"
"I was thinking before you came, it's really not good, I'll just go home, just say that I was hidden in a deserted place by that group of people in black for a month, I finally escaped and found myself in Lanzhou, I don't know what's going on, just blind the past, do you think it can work?"
Zhang Heng sneered: "You lie to deceive children, even if your family believes it, do you think the police will believe it?
"I know it's a bit far-fetched, but I really can't think of any other way. ”
Zhang Heng pondered for a long time, and said: "That's it, the problem now is that it's hard to explain that you appeared in Lanzhou, so let him become an unsolved case, you turn on your mobile phone first, throw it in a trash can, I'll rent a car, take you out of Lanzhou, and return to the magic capital, and then you explain it to your family, after the man in black kidnapped you away, locked you in a hidden place, and took your mobile phone away, locked up for a month, you found a chance to escape." As for who those people in black are, you can't tell why the mobile phone is in Lanzhou, you also say you don't know, just do it, anyway, the police can't find anything when they go to investigate, and your family won't get to the bottom of it, after a while, this matter will pass, and no one will pursue it. ”
Lin Yuan thought about it for a while, felt reliable, and said, "This idea is good, I think it's okay." ”
"It's not easy to do, you have to be emotionally stable, and you can't be too nervous when you face inquiries, you understand?"
"I understand Zhang Ju, don't worry, I know it in my heart. ”
"Okay, I'm going to rent a car now, you wait for me here. ”
Zhang Heng left the café, and Lin Yuan sat in the café waiting, wondering in his heart whether to make a mess of himself before going back, so as to make his lies more true.
As soon as Zhang Heng walked on the front foot, two people came in the café on the back foot, one was strong and rough in appearance, and the other was skinny as a sharp-beaked monkey gill, both of them were wearing casual clothes, and as soon as they entered the café, they looked around, as if they were looking for something.
Although Lin Yuan didn't know who they were or what they were looking for, he told him with vigilance not to look at them, otherwise it would be fine.
Lin Yuan lowered his head, drank coffee, and even tilted his body inside, turning his back to them.
At this time, the footsteps approached, Lin Yuan's back was cold, and his heart trembled.
"Sir, may I ask if you have seen this person?" The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man handed a photo to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan took a look with his spare eyes, and the person in the photo was himself.
"Are they police?" Lin Yuan speculated.
He shook his head and replied, "I haven't seen it, I haven't seen it." ”
The rough man said in a loud voice: "Brother, why are you so rude, you don't talk to others without facing others?"
Lin Yuan lifted the mask up, covered his mouth and nose, turned his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I have a cold, I'm afraid of infecting you." ”
The two looked at each other, looked at each other, and shook their heads.
The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks laughed, "Sorry to interrupt." ”
After saying that, the two turned around and left.
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was still feeling as witty as I got a mask, suddenly a fist wind hit his face, Lin Yuan reacted very quickly and raised his hand in a gear.
