Red dust past

My investigation started from Troy.Because this is where Gao Zhixiang disappeared last.Before setting out to come here, I have done detailed desk work.All the clues point to a sport popular at that time in the beautiful city of Troy—paramotor sports.

I have to admire my assistant Ms. He Lili. Her powerful search and screening capabilities are comparable to a supercomputer with analysis functions. She quickly dug up almost all the information about the accident four years ago.

The program in which the accident occurred was a live program called "Zhixiang Takes You Around the World", which was produced by a company called Jiexiang Communication Co., Ltd. The company has a registered capital of 300 million yuan and has three shareholders. As follows: Wang Dongxi 51%, Gao Zhixiang 40%, Li Younan 9%, chairman: Wang Dongxi, general manager: Gao Zhixiang.Wang Dongxi is also the boss of Gao Zhixiang's brokerage company, and Li Younan appears in the bar case.In other words, Boss Wang still has absolute control.Gao Zhixiang acts as the producer and commentator; basically Gao himself runs the project, and he organizes the director, photography, and logistics support personnel, and there are no employees from the original brokerage company among the employees.This seems to make me smell a maverick breath.

The program premiered on the largest video network platform in the Mainland, with two episodes each month, one hour each, for nearly a year.In the last episode, the name of the show is "The Lost Ancient City—Troy". Local delicious and fun, and interact with local travel experts, gourmets, and even celebrities from all walks of life, experience local famous attractions, places of interest, popular sports, folk customs, authentic food, etc. After the broadcast, first attract After winning the support of his millions of fans, more and more fans of passers-by joined him.Therefore, the ratings have been rising steadily.

My assistant He Lili also found out: Four years ago, the episode of "The Lost Ancient City-Troy" had hundreds of millions of on-demand views in the first week after the accident. So far, after being rebroadcast by many media, The number of viewers has exceeded one billion, and because the program itself is very well-produced, the host is a popular star, and an accident happened during the live broadcast, so, together with the series of programs he hosted, "Zhixiang Takes You Around the World "It also became popular. Of course, the most popular episode is "The Lost Ancient City-Troy". These huge ratings means that it has brought huge profits. I bet with He Lili: This program has less It is said that there is also an income of [-] million; if it exceeds [-] million, I will give her two round-trip air tickets to Paris for vacation. He Lili smiled happily. This bet does not seem to be very beneficial to me. Who? Still, I think it's well worth it.

I also noticed that when producing this program, in addition to the photographer who had been following in front, a local photographer was also hired, and this man named Hassan was in charge of shooting the aerial images.Hassan is also a well-known local paragliding expert. In order to prepare for this episode, Gao Zhixiang himself stayed in Turkey for nearly a month. It is said that he asked Hassan to practice paragliding.Moreover, the umbrellas and related equipment used in the program were also prepared locally by Gao Zhixiang himself.

I decided to find the paraglider master - Hassan.This would have to use my powerful backing --- JR Company, the intelligence team at the headquarters, found Hassan's current address and work place before I set off.So, I got off the plane, didn't care about rest, changed into clothes suitable for the local area at the hotel, and went to the restaurant facing the Dardanelles.

There are relatively few tourists in this season. There are dots of sailboats floating on the blue sea of ​​the Dardanelles. The wind blows across the sea, which makes me shiver unconsciously. I still sit at the open-air table and eat. Barbecue while drinking strong coffee, this is an excellent seat to enjoy the sea view. After eating and drinking, I raised my hand and signaled the waiter to come over, and an enthusiastic Turkish guy with black hair, big eyes and a high nose came over immediately. I asked in English, "Can you help me find Hassan? Also, I want to change to an indoor location and have another cup of coffee, thank you!" The young man immediately replied in English, "Okay! Please follow me Come." Then, he took me to a corner of the room and sat down.He also said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to find the boss." A few minutes later, Boss Hassan came out.This is a middle-aged man in his forties, about 1.7 meters tall, with a slightly fat body wearing a white apron. In the local area, he can only be regarded as a small man. His hair is neatly combed and shiny. Moroccan hair oil, you can smell the fragrance from a long distance. There is a beard on the upper lip. It can be seen that when he was young, he was a very handsome guy. His eyes were big and piercing, and his eyelashes were long and upturned. He greeted me warmly with a sly look, "Hello! Hello! Are you not eating well? Or?" I interrupted him with a smile, and said, "Thank you! I eat very well, please sit down Come down, okay? I’m Gao Zhixiang’s friend, my name is He Jiajie, and I want to learn more about what happened before him.” The middle-aged man’s eyes immediately showed a vigilant and puzzled expression, maybe my straightforward approach made him unable to recover, he He was stunned for a while without making a sound, and then he looked around and saw that there were not many customers, so he untied his apron and sat opposite me. He didn't answer my question right away, but asked a question Question, "How did you find me?" I smiled and said, "You can find me if you want to. Besides, you didn't hide your name, you just moved here from Istanbul." He immediately showed a serious look and said , "Since our friend, Gao had an accident, I no longer engaged in the previous industry, my coach's license was revoked, and the company was closed. Of course, he was even worse, he was so kind And generous, so handsome, so young, and he had an accident because of that damned deadfire. May Allah bless him!" "You mean he had a deadfire, was it a paramotor's deadfire?" he said. He paused for a few seconds and said, "That's right! Because the power parachute becomes a paraglider when it dies, and it is heavier and easier to sink than the paraglider. So, it's a pity! The power parachute is safer in the first place. , At that time, he came to learn how to play paragliding with me. He told me that paragliding is very exciting, but it is difficult to control the length of stay in the air, and it is also difficult to control the shooting time. It is not easy to use in the program. I I recommended a powered parachute to him. After playing it once, he became fascinated. He asked me to play with him almost every day. He stayed in the air for an hour or two. He was very happy and said that he seemed to have become a big bird. It’s the same as flying freely in the air.” I asked, “He also chose the paramotor you recommended when filming the program later.” His eyes were full of pride, and he said, “Yes! He also invited me to do The aerial shooting in the show, my name is also in the film, right?!" "Of course it has your name." Then, I turned on my phone, found the video of that show, skipped the first half hour, and specifically picked out A new video was made of this scene of the accident. Hassan turned his head sideways and stared at the screen intently, and saw: Gao Zhixiang was wearing goggles and a bright red suit on the mountain peak, walking towards the cliff with a powered parachute on his back. , the sound of the engine sounded, he and his parachute took off, the parachute took him over the strange rock area under the cliff, flew to the coastline, and flew along the long coastline for 5 minutes, at this time, I heard his voice Reported: "I have been flying like a bird in the air, I feel very free and happy, now my photographer wants to focus the lens on the real bird. "Then, the camera turned to flocks of big white birds over the sea. At seven and a half minutes, Gao Zhixiang's umbrella appeared in the distance of the screen, and at 10 minutes, suddenly, his umbrella appeared and fell rapidly, only Hassan's voice was heard." Not good! His parachute crashed!" At 13 minutes, the paramotor disappeared into the sea with the man, and several large white birds flew into the screen again. The screen ended.

At this moment, Hassan turned his head, and I stared into his eyes and said, "Look, those big birds with white feathers and red beaks, with black tail feathers, how beautiful they fly in the air! But they shouldn't appear It's in the picture." Hassan's eyes widened, and then, looking a little annoyed, he said, "How do you know they shouldn't be there?" I shrugged and said, "This bird is called European white storks only appear in the Dardanelles in Turkey in March and October every year, and stay for up to two weeks. By the end of November, there is absolutely no one to be seen! This episode was filmed on November 26 Yes, the appearance of the European white stork is unbelievable. Could it be that this video was filmed in October? Did Gao Zhixiang and you join hands with the white storks to rehearse it in October? Did he have two accidents? Hassan panicked for a moment, but he immediately smiled again and said flatteringly, "Sir, I don't understand what you said about the white stork. Those birds are free, they love Fly wherever they fly, maybe that day they think that there are a lot of fish in this sea, so they fly back and don’t go to Africa, we can’t control it, this matter is not what you think, it’s all arranged by Allah Please sit down for a while and drink a cup of authentic Turkish black coffee in our shop, I treat you!" Then, when I was about to get up and leave, I stood up and pressed his shoulder, and said, "Dude, don't worry, listen to me Finish. This is my card. I was entrusted by my friend, Mrs. Zhuang and Ms. Zhuang Mingli, to find him. If you see him, please tell me that I have something important to tell." I With that, Hassan stared straight at me, and I turned and left, striding out of the restaurant.

The next day, I just finished breakfast at the hotel when I received a call from Hassan, "Mr. He Jiajie, please come to my store tomorrow evening. I will take you to a place. Someone wants to see you."

I came to Hassan’s shop on the evening of the next day as scheduled. He was wearing a thick winter coat and a plaid scarf around his neck. When he saw me, he said enthusiastically, “Mr. Take you to meet someone you are interested in. But he is not here, on a small island, in fact, in Greece, not far from here, you know that Turkey and Greece are not very friendly, the military and police on both sides during the day The inspection is very strict, but at night, fishermen on both sides will go to sea. At this time, those who eat military rations are asleep, and they prefer to stay in bed. Even if we are encountered by a patrol boat, tell the local For the soldiers, it’s fine if they are fishermen. The soldiers on both sides don’t care about the fishermen, because it’s very troublesome to pull them back. Never mind. I often go out to sea at night and never have any troubles. It's just that on election day, when someone picks up the border issue, they will tighten the control. That's just checking the documents. Opposite It’s not uncommon to meet Turks or people from other countries on Greek islands.” I followed him on a fishing boat, the motor started, and the boat slowly sailed out of the harbor. The light of the boat became more and more blurred, the boat speeded up, the sea was very calm, only the waves were beating gently against the hull, the moonlight was hazy, the boat was moving steadily and fast, after about an hour, Hassan said, "We are on the high seas. In another hour, you can see the lighthouse on the island." A fish jumped out of the water, splashing a big splash, and Hassan shouted happily, "There are so many fish, if you have a chance, you must go catch them with me." Fish, very interesting, although it is very hard, it is worth experiencing; but I don’t have time today. I want to send you as soon as possible.” I asked curiously, “Is the person you want to take me to meet a Greek?” Haha Sang smiled and said, "Yeah!" "Could it be that you, a Turk, sold me to the Greek?" "Haha! The Greek is probably very happy to see you, and will treat you to dinner." Food!" I thought to myself, in case Hassan throws me to a gangster on a certain island, it's really difficult, I should tell my assistant, Miss He Lili, in advance, but I only stay at the front desk He sent a letter to her; now that he was on Hassan's pirate ship, it was too late to regret it.

After a little more than an hour, the fishing boat slowed down, and the light from the lighthouse was clearly visible. After sailing past the lighthouse, you could see the boats moored on the coast, lighting the fishing fire, and the sound of the waves beating on the embankment gradually became louder.Hassan's boat approached the shore slowly. He jumped off the boat and fixed the cable on a special iron post. The boat swayed slightly. He waved to me, and I jumped off the boat and followed him. On a small coastal road, it turned into a small road after a few minutes, and walked for another [-] minutes, turning around and passing through a forest, as if walking to the other side of the island, at the gate of a small courtyard The outside wall is not high, and the building inside can be seen from the outside. It is a small two-story building, which has the same appearance as other buildings on the island. Hassan pressed the password familiarly. , the door opened, and I followed in, only to see a tall man standing at the end of the path, he walked quickly, and stretched out his hand halfway.
