The phone rang about four or five times before a woman's voice came over.
"Hello, please look for Zhang Fanrong."
The phone seemed to be put down immediately, and then there was a shout of "boom boom boom".
After a while, a deep male voice came over.
"Who are you?"
"Hello, I'm here with Director Zhao Xingjun."
"Aunt Zhao?"
"We came to see Director Zhao Xingjun because of Wang Hejun, and more because of you. We went to Fuxin and found your teachers at the time, Mr. Li and Mr. Mo. We learned from them that you and Wang Hejun had a good relationship...
"
"Have you found the coalition?"
"Zhang Fansheng, we are the criminal police from the Donglu Provincial Public Security Department. Because a new case involves too many past events, we found the relevant person Wang Hejun. Moreover, Wang Hejun is dead. His tomb should be in the 90s.
Around the 1960s, we just want to know if he looked for you from the time he disappeared in 1967 to the 1990s."
"Still dead!"
Du Dayong heard some choking sounds.
"Comrade police, I'm sorry, but I think of some past events from that year. Wang Hejun only called me in the winter of 1967. Since then, he has never called me again."
"Then do you remember calling you about something in 1967?"
"He said he seemed to have discovered enemy agents, but when I asked him how he discovered it, he wouldn't tell me. He just said it might be him. This was a call he made to me after the National Day in 1967."
"In November 1967, the phone call he made to me was his last. He told me that he didn't know if the other party was an enemy agent. Later, I asked carefully and found out that it was a girl he was pursuing.
He had a good relationship with the other person, so he started to follow the man. He found that the man seemed to have other relationships with some women, and he was afraid that he might misunderstand him, so he continued to follow him. Following him, he felt that the man
He just took a pen and drew pictures everywhere, thinking that the other party might be a hostile saboteur."
"After continuing to follow him, he learned that the other person, like us, also worked in a coal mine, but the other person worked in Mongolia Province, so at that time he was not sure whether there was a problem with the other person. But at that time he told the man
He often went to the Geological Survey Bureau where he was, especially after the place was hit, anyone could enter, and that person went there many times. This was the biggest reason why Wang Hejun suspected that person."
"After that phone call, there were no more calls. In 1968, I called him, but he was told that he had run away. Then I remembered that we were both in bad shape, because at that time I was already going to
Among the group of people who were sent away, I finally came to Xilin Gol, and then I met my lover, and finally the work relationship was changed and I didn’t leave."
"Later I went to Beihe Shizhuang City to find Director Zhao. Director Zhao said that Wang Hejun had not been found, so I left his number for Director Zhao. I didn't expect to receive a call now saying that he was dead. Alas!"
After Du Dayong listened, he continued to ask.
"I heard that Wang Hejun's hometown is from Shantang?"
"Yes, I went there to look for him, but there was no news. His parents also died in the big earthquake."
"Then Wang Hejun doesn't have any brothers or sisters?"
"Yes! But I don't know him. I heard that he has an older sister, a younger brother and a younger sister. But who knows if he survived the big earthquake? And the mountain ponds are now built much better than they were in the 1960s and 1970s.
There have been too many changes. I asked comrades at the local police station, but they couldn't find any information about Wang Hejun's family. After all, I went to Shantang a lot, and I had acquaintances with the police. I also asked others to check several times, but nothing was found.
Information, my friend told me, the person may be gone."
"What's the name of your friend in Shantang? Can you give me his communication method?"
Zhang Fanrong said that he could only give Director Zhao a call.
Du Dayong had no choice but to call out the old lady who was cooking. Mrs. Zhao said a few words to Zhang Fusheng and then gave the phone to Du Dayong.
"Then I'll report it to you, and you can take note of it."
Du Dayong made a writing motion toward Qiao Chuan, and Qiao Chuan immediately took out a pen and paper and put it where Du Dayong was.
"Chai Yejun, Xinxiyuan Police Station, Pingkai Branch, Shantang City, the phone number is 13..."
After Du Dayong quickly wrote it down, he thanked Zhang Fusheng again and again before hanging up the phone.
Mrs. Zhao came out at this time and saw that Du Dayong hung up the phone before saying.
"It'll be ready in a moment. We'll leave after dinner. Then make a note of my home phone number. If you come to Shizhuang City on business later, you can come to my place for a hot meal."
Du Dayong smiled and nodded in agreement.
At noon, the three policemen and the old couple finished their meal, each enjoying themselves.
Du Dayong did not stop and asked the criminal police to take him and Qiao Chuan to the bus station in Shizhuang City. Du Dayong decided to go to Shantang City.
Because this journey has already reached here, Du Dayong didn't want to give up the last bit.
