Thirteen prisons

Chapter 32 Lies
Zhou Yuan didn't know why Lao Hu specifically mentioned the section about martial arts, and thought for a while before saying: "This is what Yan Yi himself said. But it sounds very logical."

Old Hu sneered and said: "It's logical! It's all his family's words, anyway, it's just a story. He said the cause and effect, and everything he said is true."

Judging from his tone, Zhou Yuan knew that he had really discovered something.He urged: "Say it quickly, don't be tricky."

Hu Dongdong smiled triumphantly: "I'm going to go shopping in the town, and focus on those elderly old men and old ladies. I only look for those old men who chat and play chess on the street. Old people like to recall the past At first, I didn't know where to start, after all, after so many years, no one knew who Yan Yi was. But I didn't expect that someone really knew something about the martial arts back then."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help admiring Lao Hu. He also thought of the relationship between Zhenzi and Huaguang Machinery Factory on the street yesterday, but he didn't expect to ask someone about the past. Lao Hu's thinking sounds simple and direct, nothing special, but Most people really don't think so quickly.

"Of course, it's a long time ago, so it may not be accurate. But some words have been passed down, so they must be reasonable. I asked an old man, a relative of the factory employee, who helped to participate in the aftermath of the initial warehouse incident. According to him Said, those people died really weirdly, but that kind of weirdness is completely reversed from what Yan Yi said."

When Old Hu said this, he paused on purpose: "In that building, there is no blood all over the floor at all! On the contrary, there is no blood at all! They later spread that there was a blood-sucking monster in the mountain. These people were killed by accident. Back then, people in the town held an exorcism ceremony because of this incident, and there was a lot of commotion, and people were panicked."

Zhou Yuan was a little surprised by Lao Hu's words, but still dubious: "Since it is a rumor, it may not be true. Why did Yan Yi lie to us on such insignificant details?"

Lao Hu nodded: "This is not the strangest thing. I also thought of what you said. After all, stories are passed on by word of mouth, and there will be deviations after passing on to a few people. I won't say this beforehand, but the other thing will be It's even more interesting." Hu Dongdong pointed to the upstairs: "Didn't old man Yan tell us that Li Aihua was missing? He didn't see anyone alive or dead, right? But I asked several old people, and they all said they hadn't heard of anyone. Missing, there is not a lot of post-processing and counting of the corpses. The two groups of people who went to the warehouse to fight, with names and surnames, are all among the dead, and it is not troublesome to count, except for the bloodless details.”

Zhou Yuan still didn't think it was convincing: "It's too... It was so chaotic back then, and this mountain is so big, could it be that they didn't die completely, and then fell into the cliff or something, and they didn't find it?"

"Aha. I knew you would say that." Hu Dongdong laughed: "You think about it from another angle. People back then did things differently than they do now. This is not a work-related accident. There may be temporary workers that everyone doesn't know. Machinery The factory is a small closed society, and those are all comrades-in-arms and colleagues! Will the corpses of comrades-in-arms and colleagues be counted wrong? If someone disappears, will there be no news? I also questioned like you at first, but among the old men Someone who did statistical work in the factory area was also an old Red Guard. He was right. If someone is missing out of thin air, has this person defected? This involves qualitative issues, whether it is disappearance or death, The organization will definitely give a clear conclusion. Although many people died in the fighting, he patted his chest and assured that such a situation never happened.”

"However." Old Hu changed the topic. "This is just a preliminary investigation. It may not be true. But Yan Yi concealed a lot of details, which is [-]%. We are careful in everything."

It can only be like this.The whole story told by Yan Yi is logically smooth, but when compared with the story Hu Dongdong heard, the contradictions in these specific details immediately show that the story is unreasonable beyond reality.There is blood or there is no blood, and the error in the number of people is not something that can be simply explained by a wrong memory after a long time.

I didn't even think there was anything wrong with some details at the time, but now that I think about it, I find that there are big problems.For example, Yan Yi once said that when Li Aihua packed her clothes and rushed downstairs, it felt like she was absolutely sure to keep everyone there, as long as she sacrificed herself.

But Zhou Yuan drove across Linhe and got in touch with him for several hours.Lin He obviously didn't know when he spontaneously combusted at that time, but he knew that he was going to die soon, but the exact time of death was uncertain.How could it be such a coincidence that when Li Aihua wanted to blew himself up, he just blew himself up?

Zhou Yuan began to struggle again.The information Hu Dongdong investigated is too different from Yan Yi's story.Zhou Yuan definitely believed in Hu Dongdong, but after all, there was only one source of information, and it seemed not enough to completely negate Yan Yi just by chatting with the old men in the town.

"Old Hu, is there anything else?"

"Of course there is. Now that I have clues, how could I just let it go. After more inquiries, I found out that there is an old man in this town who was a worker in the factory back then and participated in many armed fights. Although he didn't go to the warehouse back then , but it can be regarded as an indirect participant. Oh, the old man’s surname is Zhao, the locals call him Lao Zhaotou, and he lives in the southernmost part of the town. I wanted to go to the old Zhaotou’s house to ask for more details, but the old Zhaotou was not at home , so I waited for a long time."

"Man, thank you. It's thanks to you that we can sort out so many clues so quickly." Zhou Yuan said gratefully: "Then what should we do now?"

Lao Hu shook his head: "Tomorrow I will go to Lao Zhaotou. In addition, I plan to check from the line of Linhe. As for Yan Yi, what kind of treatment he wants to give you, don't agree yet, you must wait for Lu Ming to come back." .”

Zhou Yuan also thought so.All signs indicated that Yan Yi must still have some secrets that they didn't know.But there's no need to be fussy.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yuan and Hu Dongdong sent Lu Ming to the town, and then he took the morning bus to Baiyuan City, but went directly to Chengdu, and then took the afternoon plane back to Beiyang City. , but it is much faster than when I came here, and I can get home that night.After sending it to the station, Zhou Yuan gave Lu Ming a vacuum bag containing some processed horn roots, told him his thoughts, and asked him to go back and help analyze it. The effect of creation is good, and I can really consider starting this business.

Lu Ming agreed, and only said: "This is better than driving an illegal car."

After sending Lu Ming away, Lao Hu took Zhou Yuan to the town to buy two bottles of wine, and then found the old Zhaotou's house.Lao Hu told the old man that the two of them were reporters, and they were going to interview some things about the third-line construction back then.Old Zhao didn't have any doubts at all, and chatted very speculatively with Old Hu, forcing them to stay at home for lunch.

So at the wine table, Zhou Yuan and Lao Hu heard another version about the details of the fighting from the old Zhaotou.

Old Zhao Tou also came to this barren mountain with recruiting workers back then, but at that time the scope of recruiting was in the whole of Sichuan, he and Yan Yi were not from the same place, so they didn't know each other.It turned out that when old Zhao came here, he had a good impression of a girl who was also a worker in the factory.Just when the feelings were hazy, the fighting began.Old Zhaotou joined a faction called the Peasant Trade Union with his passion. The Peasant Trade Union has a small number of people, but has always had a good relationship with 'Jinggangshan'.Although they are two different factions, they can be regarded as allies, and they all follow the leadership of 'Jinggangshan' when they act.So far, what he said is roughly the same as Yan Yi.

The last "Jinggangshan" fight against the "Red Workers' Federation" happened, and the old Zhao Tou almost participated in it.But when he was going to go that time, he was stopped by the girl.

The girl did not know where to get the news that these people stormed the army camp and got the guns.So I came here to persuade Old Zhao for a long time.That girl belonged to the small group of people who were not dazzled at that time. Her thinking was very simple. Even if fighting is inevitable, regardless of everyone's hostile position, the behavior of attacking each other is after all an internal struggle.When she knew that the guns in Jinggangshan had been snatched from the army, she began to feel terrified. The matter had gone far beyond the scope of normal fighting.So she also hoped that Old Zhao would calm down and consider the seriousness of the matter.But how could the old Zhao head listen to it?Young and frivolous, full of enthusiasm, and in his heart he felt that he was on the side of justice, so Lao Zhao had a headache and reprimanded the girl for her low consciousness, and must attack the bad elements with all her strength, otherwise she would be betraying the revolution.

The two argued for a long time on their respective positions, but they were still at a stalemate.Later, the old Zhao head became more and more violent, and even accused the girl of being selfish and betraying the revolution for the sake of prudence and safety.

The girl was accused by him in this way, and finally left crying in disappointment.At that time, Old Zhao Tou was a little hesitant to pursue or not, but when he thought that the brothers in "Jinggangshan" and "Agricultural Trade Union" were still fighting for the revolution, while he was here, he finally made a choice.But when Old Zhao arrived at Wudou's warehouse, everything was over.

There, he saw the corpses of those people, all of them shrunk on the ground, with their mouths wide open, in the words of Old Zhao Tou, as if they saw something extraordinary before they died, and they were frightened to death.What's even more exaggerated is that the bodies of these people have been completely deformed, and they don't have the appearance of living people at all.

"What does it mean that there is no appearance of a living person?" Zhou Yuan asked nervously when he heard this.

From the expression on Old Zhao's head, it can be seen that this incident still left a deep impression on him after so many years.He told Zhou Yuan that those people were shriveled as if they had been sucked out of their blood.But on the ground, there was no blood at all. "

Zhou Yuan kicked Lao Hu under the table, and gave him a look, meaning how could this old man be more nonsense than Yan Yi?Old Hu didn't seem to see Zhou Yuan's wink, he kept toasting Old Zhao and questioning details repeatedly.But old Zhao turned his head over and over again, and didn't say any new information.

Coming out of Old Zhaotou's house, Lao Hu said to Zhou Yuan: "I understand what you mean. The stories the two of them told are very strange. For such a long-standing matter, it is unnecessary to judge which is true. Today's trip is just to confirm yesterday's information, Yan Yi has indeed lied to us, and we will always find out where he lied."

"But the reason why he wants to lie is obviously aimed at you. There is a question that Yan Yi has never answered directly, that is, why does he want you to come here so urgently? I guess the next formal treatment must There will be problems. Zhou Yuan, you have to think about it yourself, what exactly does Yan Yi want from you?" After Lao Hu said this at last, he continued to go back to the town, saying that he wanted to inquire about some news about the machinery factory back then.

Old Zhaotou's home is in the south of the town, and the distance to Yan Yi's small building is not too close. Zhou Yuan walked slowly while thinking about what old nonsense said.His last sentence was also where he was very puzzled.Yan Yi did everything possible to trick himself into coming to Daba Town, but he never took the initiative to mention the treatment. What exactly did he want to do?

Zhou Yuan thought of the horn roots that were picked on the mountain yesterday, because other medicines need to be added, and it will take two days to prepare it into a plaster.In the past few days in Daba Town, even though Lu Ming had a dispute with him, Yan Yi still did not reveal his specific treatment methods, but said that he could first use plaster to relieve the symptoms of the rash.

Could his temptation start with these plasters?
Everything is normal now, apart from this, Zhou Yuan really can't think of any other possibility.

When he was able to see the small building halfway up the mountain, Zhou Yuan's phone rang, and it was Lu Ming calling.

"I found some problems." Lu Ming cut to the chase: "Your medical records are missing."

"Your case examination report when you were in the central hospital, all the information about your disease." Lu Ming explained: "It should be archived in the hospital. But when I came back, I found that your medical records were gone."

"If you don't have it, then it's gone. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Zhou Yuan didn't care much.

Lu Ming snorted coldly, seemed dissatisfied with Zhou Yuan's attitude, and asked, "How long has it been since you called your parents?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned, and said with some shame: "I forgot to call these two days, why do you ask this?"

"It doesn't matter if the medical records are lost, but if your parents are lost, do you still think it doesn't matter?"
