Chapter 513 Undead in Flames (33)

闫儒玉立马凑过来，1996年7月14日、7月15日，这两天的光明晚报没有存档。

Three months later, on September 1996, 9, the fire broke out.

Will anything happen in these two days?Was it deliberately covered up?
The two looked at each other, but they didn't alarm the editor-in-chief.

Yan Ruyu posted a message on the second-hand book and periodical trading website that had issued a password to contact Wei Shao, asking for a lot of money to buy the two missing "Guangming Evening News".

After doing this, the two of them sorted out and excerpted the news about the criminal case in the newspaper with full of doubts.

It's late at night.

When the two returned home, Wu Cuo lay down on the sofa bed and said, "I'm old, my waist is about to break after sitting for a day. Sure enough, my brother is still suitable for going to the survey site."

Yan Ruyu also felt that there was too much information in his head—Wu Cuo used a notebook to record, but he directly used his brain.He sat down and didn't want to talk, but stretched out a hand to help Wu Cuo hit his back a few times.

"What's the situation with Xiaobai? Have you brought back the newspapers from the other newspapers?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Take it, just like the "Guangming Evening News", there are varying degrees of missing from July 96 to 7, 14."

"What happened in those days?"

Yan Ruyu's cell phone rang, and someone on the second-hand book website replied to his post:
Both the City Library and the National Library have collected a lot of old newspapers, you should be able to find them, but old newspapers are not like ordinary books, so they may not be borrowed

"library!"

Wu Cuo got up immediately, picked up his coat and was about to go out, but was grabbed by Yan Ruyu, "It's closed, tomorrow."

In the early morning of the next day, before Yan Ruyu arrived at the National Library, he saw a fire in the distance.

"What's the situation?" He stopped the car, showed his police officer ID, and asked a person who was in charge of the firefighting work—the police rank should be a squadron leader.

"There was a fire inside, but fortunately the fire was not serious and there were no casualties."

Yan Ruyu was taken aback, and asked, "Where did the fire start? What was burned?"

The squadron leader looked at an old man in Tang suit. It seemed that the old man should be the person in charge of the library.

"Some old newspapers, fortunately, the precious materials of the rare copies are no longer in that room..."

Yan Ruyu already knew that the fire was probably man-made, and the purpose was to prevent him from finding the old newspapers from that year.

He immediately asked the old man, "Can you check the surveillance?"

The old man shook his head, "I wanted to check just now, the monitoring bus was destroyed."

Yan Ruyu hurriedly looked around.The National Library is a very magnificent building, surrounded by a large green belt, adjacent to the central park, too open, there are many places that cannot be captured by surveillance, and there are many people exercising nearby in the morning, I want to find this arsonist , It is definitely useless to rely on monitoring.

While calling Wu Cuo, Yan Ruyu walked into the fire scene, desperately trying to find something from the scene.

However, the ashes and black walls at the scene made it impossible for him to start.

When the phone was connected, Wu Cuo's voice was very deep, and Yan Ruyu had a bad feeling, "Hey, let me tell you, if there is another bad news from your place, I will kill you tonight to sacrifice to heaven."

Wu Cuo said helplessly: "What's the use of killing me, I'm not a programmer."

Recently, the stalk of killing programmers and offering sacrifices to heaven has become very popular, and the two of them have also heard about it.

"Isn't it? What's the situation?"

"The city library was stolen last night, and nothing of value was lost, except for the two newspapers we were looking for."

"Hehe, it's on the line." Yan Ruyu laughed angrily, "Do you have any valuable traces there?"

"No, Mao didn't stay behind, and the monitoring was also destroyed. The other party is very skilled." Wu Cuo said.

"My side is a fire scene. It's very messy. Trace inspection is not my specialty. Why don't you take a look?"

"Okay, you wait here."

Three hours later, the two inspected the scene carefully, but found nothing.When they returned to the car, both of them were ashamed.

Wu wrongly said: "I still don't believe it! Two old newspapers can still stump me?!"

Yan Ruyu looked at the phone and said, "It's really difficult. How can I say that the newspaper was also the mainstream media back then. I don't know how many times the daily circulation is now. There is no reason to only look for it in the work unit, such as this..."

Yan Ruyu read it wrongly to Wu: "Another person left a message saying that although he didn't have the Guangming Evening News there, he had the People's Evening News on July 96, 7, and asked me if I wanted it.

According to investigation, this day's People's Evening News is also missing. "

Wu Cuo's eyebrows immediately twitched, "This buddy...will be in danger?"

"So we have to find him first, and if we can't, we should protect him first... Fortunately, this website is registered with a mobile phone number, as long as Xiao Jinzi..." Yan Ruyu's cell phone rang again, "Little Jinzi has already hacked. The background of the website helped me find this guy's mobile phone number."

Yan Ruyu didn't rush to dial the number, but murmured: "What will they do next?"

"what?"

"Don't you think it's like playing house now? A competition to find old newspapers? Hehe, when did this become the job of the criminal police?"

"So what? What do you want to say?"

"The other party should realize that something is wrong, and then start to take the next step."

"Slow down, I don't quite understand." Wu Cuo only felt that his brain was not enough.

Yan Ruyu continued: "Competing to find old newspapers is not a long-term solution after all, who knows how many people have the habit of collecting old newspapers, how can it be prevented?
Therefore, the other party should already be thinking about how to deal with it once we find the newspaper and know the truth of the year. "

"Then... what should we do?" Wu Cuo asked.

"Online trading is a good way. It can shorten the trading time and try to keep up with them..." While speaking, Yan Ruyu had already added the other party's WeChat account, negotiated the price, completed the transfer, and the other party also happily sent The high-resolution picture of the "People's Evening News" dated July 96, 7.

Soon, at the bottom right of the fifth page of the newspaper, the two saw a news headline:
Five dead bodies were found in the central park of our city this morning, and they were initially judged to have been shot

It fits the news headlines of that era, revealing a sense of simplicity, which is completely different from the current coquettish headline party.

The two immediately zoomed in on the picture to see the specific content.Even if it is a high-definition picture, it will inevitably be blurred when zoomed in.The two of them stared so blindly that they wished to drag out the black hands behind the scenes from between the lines.

The content of the news is relatively brief, roughly meaning that someone found a body in Central Park on the morning of July 7th, reported to the police, and the police intervened in the investigation. At present, they only know that the deceased died of a shooting, and they don't know anything about the rest.

"This... can't be found out..." Wu dragged the picture by mistake, and saw that the reporter who contributed the article was named "Yu Hui", and he didn't know if it was his real name or a pseudonym.

Wu Cuo continued: "Talk to this reporter?"

Yan Ruyu nodded, "That's the only way."

Reporter Yu Hui was over 40 years old when he wrote this report. Fortunately, he is in good health, but he has some dementia.

When Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo saw the old man, he was drooling, and the young grandson wanted to stuff a lollipop into his mouth, as if this would shut his mouth.
