Just when You Fang listened to Mr. Wu's advice to go home for the New Year, Mr. Wu Pingtong actually ran away from home! Hearing the news, You Fang was almost dumbfounded.
It is public news that Wu Pingtong has retired, but for university professors like him, as long as their health allows, retirement is just a procedure, and they will usually continue to be re-employed in teaching and research work. Mr. Wu has loved teaching and research all his life, how could he suddenly give up?
Did you do it? The further news that the tourists learned was that Mr. Wu was in poor health, so he applied for retirement and recuperated, and left Beijing before the new semester.
Mr. Wu's health is indeed not good, but his speech and behavior in daily life do not show any signs of weakness. He had a major operation three years ago and has almost never been in the hospital again. You Fang learned from the shocking physiognomy.
Angle, I have always felt that Mr. Wu’s complexion is not good, and I have repeatedly advised him to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, but Mr. Wu just smiled bitterly and did not answer. Could it be that this time the old disease has relapsed?
Mr. Wu really used the relapse of his old illness as the reason for resigning, and claimed that he was going to visit the great mountains, rivers and scenic spots in various places to cultivate his sentiments and refresh his mind. Before leaving, he even joked to several colleagues that as an old single man, he might be wandering around.
You can also find a new wife and start a romantic sunset love.
Recuperating in a place with beautiful scenery is indeed more beneficial to the body and mind. It would be a happy event in his life if he really had a romantic encounter with the old man at dusk. But You Fang felt very uneasy because he couldn't contact Mr. Wu and no one knew.
Where has he gone? What should I do if something happens to this old gentleman in another place? What on earth has he been doing!
You Fang began to recall the last few meetings with Mr. Wu before the winter vacation. At that time, Mr. Wu already knew his identity, and the two became friends who talked about almost everything. Mr. Wu rarely asked You Fang about the metaphysics of Feng Shui.
Instead, I inquired about things related to the registration door in detail: how cultural relic dealers receive and ship goods, how people on various lines secretly communicate, what kind of middlemen can be found to connect to the line, what are the rules for dealing with each other, and how
In order to gain the other party's trust, etc.
The more you think about it, the more you feel something is wrong. What is the purpose of Mr. Wu knowing these things in such detail? Does he want to assist the public security organs in solving the case? As far as you know, Mr. Wu once participated in the cultural relics inspection department and the police in the illegal excavation and excavation in the territory.
A crackdown on smuggling gangs, but his identity at that time was only to assist in the identification of cultural relics, and he was not on the front line of criminal investigation. How could an old and frail scholar like him be allowed to directly confront criminals?
Is Mr. Wu really going to travel around the world to fulfill his dream of being a hero? The last time we met before the winter vacation, You Fang told Mr. Wu that he was going home the next day and came here to say goodbye. Mr. Wu was very happy.
I drank a few more glasses of wine in the evening, and drunkenly said a lot of things that I had never said before, which were heart-wrenching words. One of my words was still fresh in my mind——
"I'm over sixty years old, and I've always had a dream. I'm not afraid of your jokes when I tell it. In your eyes, I am a serious scholar. In fact, I also like to read martial arts novels. I have read all the martial arts books from the Republic of China to contemporary times.
Quite a few. When I was young, I often fantasized about acquiring a superb swordsmanship, wielding the sword to eliminate violence in the rivers and lakes, and shouting when seeing injustice on the road..." As he spoke, Mr. Wu started to sing, and while he was singing, he suddenly sighed again: "
Alas! - It's a pity that I only read a lot of books and have been a teacher in school all my life. I see that the loess has been buried up to my chin, and I am still here dreaming of a martial arts hero."
Is this old gentleman really going to make a living in the world? You know very well who Wu Pingtong hates most: first of all, the gangs that destructively steal cultural relics; even more hateful are the gangs that organize and direct illegal excavations, buy black market cultural relics at low prices, and smuggle them overseas
Transnational smuggling groups; and those behind the scenes who receive stolen goods, launder the stolen goods, sell the stolen goods, and then push these things to the market to make huge profits. The old man has inquired about all kinds of rivers and lakes very clearly, and nine times out of ten, he is targeting these people.
!
If this is really the case, then his situation is too dangerous! Not to mention Wu Pingdong, even You Fang himself would not dare to do it easily. Those methods are just talk on paper!
After searching around for more than a month, there was still no news about Wu Pingtong, and You Fang finally couldn't sit still. On a windy and dark night, he made a guest appearance as a snitch for the first time in his life, and climbed up with his good skills.
From the balcony on the fourth floor, sneak into Wu's hometown through the window of the study room.
Of course, he was not trying to steal anything, but wanted to find clues about Mr. Wu's whereabouts, and sure enough he found clues. The fake Yuan blue and white plum vase in the study was missing, but when he opened the drawer of the desk, he found a latest medical record. Wu
Lao did indeed have a relapse of his old disease, and the situation was very serious. The doctor suggested that he be hospitalized immediately for surgery. Apparently Wu Lao did not accept this suggestion.
In Mr. Wu's computer, You Fang found a lot of information, mostly indexes of various cultural relic thefts and smuggling cases uncovered by the police in recent years, as well as various inside stories about so-called "private collectors" privately participating in black market transactions.
I don’t know where Mr. Wu obtained the materials. It seems that You Fang’s guess was correct. The old man was probably trying to break into these gangs as a private collector to take advantage of them.
Before leaving, You Fang "stole" something, which was Wu Pingdong's computer. He took the computer to Zhongguancun to find his old friend Chen Jun and asked him to trace the information left on the computer: which websites the old man had visited recently.
?What pseudonym do you use in what forum? What identity do you post under? Who have you contacted and communicated with? How many emails or messages have you exchanged? Check as many clues as possible.
After coming out of Chen Jun's place, You Fang immediately took the medical records and rushed to the hospital where Mr. Wu had his physical examination. After some inquiries, he found the attending doctor at the time, and after some hard pleading, he almost took action in the end.
Threatening him with force, the doctor who had always ignored him finally introduced Mr. Wu's condition in detail.
Wu Pingtong's condition has become very serious after the recurrence of his old disease. If he does not undergo surgery and only undergoes conservative treatment, he may not survive for one or two years. If he undergoes surgery, the risk is also high. The best result is of course a successful surgery, but he is optimistic.
The most pessimistic estimate is that it will only last three to five years, and the most pessimistic estimate is that it will not be possible to get off the operating table.
The doctor even said this to Mr. Wu: "Keeping a good mood and an optimistic and cheerful attitude are the magic weapon for health. Enjoy whatever you should enjoy." The doctor finally sighed to You Fang: "Professor Wu
His condition is so serious, but it’s not visible at all on the outside. I really don’t know what kind of will he is using to support him!”
At this point, You Fang finally understood what Mr. Wu was doing. Everyone may have a deep dream in their heart. In normal times, there is no condition and it is impossible to make the determination to realize it. It is just a daydream after drinking too much. Most people in the world
Aren't all people like this? But Mr. Wu's situation is different at the moment. He is alone and has no worries. Anyway, his life is coming to an end, so he just gives it all and pursues his dreams in this life with ease, and also tries his best to make up for the regrets he often feels in his heart.
.
You Fang even thought of calling the police, but there was no way for him to report it. He had no choice but to find one person, the policewoman Xie Xiaoxian who had taken him to the police station. Xie Xiaoxian is a postgraduate student at Peking University Law School.
, she was transferred to the Yanyuan Police Station to study more easily, and was actually promoted to political commissar. She joined the party at a young age but she joined the party very early. To be able to work so smoothly, it seems that her family must have a very good background.
After more than two years of experience in getting into trouble, You Fang later met this policewoman again at the Weiming Lake. Later, You Fang also did Xie Xiaoxian a favor, giving her the opportunity to make a contribution and crack a
Fraud gang (note: related content will be discussed later). This matter is also one of the reasons why Xie Xiaoxian was promoted at the grassroots police station. With connections and deeds, promotion is always easier.
Xie Xiaoxian was very busy. He finally met and listened to You Fang explain what happened. Although he expressed concern and sympathy, he was unable to help. Wu Pingtong's situation was not that he disappeared for no reason. He explained his plans before leaving, which was equivalent to shutting him down.
It is impossible for the police station to open a case for investigation if someone travels alone with his mobile phone. To say the least, even if the disappearance is confirmed in the future, it will just issue an online co-investigation notice. It is impossible to use police forces nationwide to specifically search for such a person. Xie Xiaoxian, a small political commissar of the police station
Of course, there is no such ability.
You Fang still didn't give up and begged Xie Xiaoxian to find another clue. It was impossible for Mr. Wu to go out without spending money, and he couldn't use all the cash he had for such a long time. He had to go to the bank to withdraw money. If he had used
His account, including bank card or personal account, the bank can check the records and the location where he withdraws money or swipes the card. Although his old friend Chen Jun is known as a hacker, he does not dare to invade such a system. He can only ask Xie Xiaoxian to find an excuse to pass.
Go to the bank to check the relationship.
This was against discipline. Xie Xiaoxian didn't agree at first, so You Fang blocked her at the entrance of the law school and the police station every day. Anyway, he was not afraid of being tortured and thrown into the police station. He didn't dare to threaten her with force, but just pestered her hard.
The police station colleagues and law school students thought that You Fang was pursuing the police beauty sister, and secretly admired this young man's courage and shamelessness.
After being stuck in traffic for three days, Xie Xiaoxian finally agreed to help the tour operator to investigate through personal connections. Xie Xiaoxian actually found clues, including not only Wu Pingtong's withdrawal records in various places, but also the police in a certain place in the south uncovered the theft and excavation of a large cultural relic.
According to the news of the smuggling group, the first criminal "Du Xiucai" has been arrested. It is said that the amount directly involved may be as high as hundreds of millions, while the value of indirect cultural relic losses is difficult to estimate. The case has alarmed the Ministry of Public Security.
The cracking of this major case was very accidental. According to internal information, a "black market collector" got involved with the gang through some unknown means and wanted to meet Du Xiucai to discuss a "big deal." Du Xiucai was a very cunning person.
The first meeting after this test did not reveal too many details. Unexpectedly, the collector’s purpose was to meet Du Xiucai and confirm his identity. Du Xiucai was arrested as soon as he left the house. The police followed the clues and solved a series of major cases.
.
The "collector" did not contact the county or city police in advance, but directly contacted the local provincial public security department and the national cultural relics inspection department. As for his identity, Xie Xiaoxian did not know. These inside information were obtained from an elder who worked in the Ministry of Public Security.
That's right. The city closest to the scene of the crime is the place where Wu Pingtong last withdrawn his bank deposit. The time is also very consistent.
On the same day that Xie Xiaoxian found the clue, You Fang received a letter from somewhere in the south, which turned out to be from Mr. Wu——
Children’s swimming skills:
Hello, let me first say thank you! I have been a teacher all my life, but I learned a lot from you before I left, which gave me the opportunity to do things that I have been thinking about but have not been able to try for many years.
Now, I have never had such a indulgent and wanton life. Now, I feel like a young and heroic knight, even though there is no sword hanging on my waist.
I know you will definitely ask about my whereabouts. With your intelligence, you will definitely guess what I want to do and understand why I want to do it.
I once wanted to say to you: Study hard, get a real undergraduate diploma no matter what you do, and then come and apply for my graduate school. I will take you out like I took Xiaochi and send you to the right path. It’s a pity that God won’t give it to me.
I'm afraid you already know the reason for this opportunity.
You are an outstanding child, very smart, and I don’t need to say much more. I just want to tell you that you must choose your own path well, and you must always keep the most precious things in life. When walking on the rivers and lakes, what are we looking for?
?The process of pursuing the realm of life is the meaning of life.
Selfish people are trapped in their own pursuits, and selfless people forget about the pursuits of the world. But if the two eventually end up in the same destination, it will be a great blessing in life. The ancients said: "It is not selfless that can lead to selfishness."
I have achieved my selfishness in this way, yes, it is selfishness, and it is also a great blessing in life. So you should congratulate me, this is what is called seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence.
I have done several small things and one big thing recently, and I am very happy. While there is still time, I want to do a few more things. Maybe I will eventually leave in an obscure way, but I will only enjoy the excitement and happiness in my heart.
!You should be happy for me, you really should be happy! I know you must be looking for me, so I wrote this letter to you specially. You should take good care of yourself.
Finally, please forgive me for saying goodbye to you in this way.
