Linzhou Municipal Bureau

In the early morning, after Ji Lian sent Ji Jing to the school assembly point, he gave way to Quan Yifeng, and he began to fall asleep in the passenger seat.

Quan Yifeng turned down the volume of the car stereo.Originally, they planned to rest early last night, but before ten o'clock, a phone call from Li Yunbin dragged Ji Lian into endless work.It seems that there is a bug in some external link or interface of the system. Anyway, it seems that the problem is not small. When Quan Yifeng woke up at three o'clock in the middle of the night, he saw Ji Lian sitting at the computer desk.

The investigation system developed by the joint team has only gone through a short period of four months from mid-May to the present, and the visible results have been very gratifying.Even if we only look at the just-closed Starry Sky Map serial murder case, the role of the system in the entire case is indispensable. If you count the child abduction and trafficking that was dug out at the end of the Zeng brothers and sisters case, the investigation system has a great impact on criminal investigation. The help at work is already there for all to see.

But also because of this, the work of the joint team has received more and more attention from the higher authorities.Everyone knows the simple truth that you can't become a big fat man with one bite, but the more others expect of you, the heavier the burden on your shoulders will inevitably be.

Quan Yifeng, the nominal deputy team leader, is thinking about the staffing situation of the joint team. There are now three graduate students from Linzhou University in the team, Yun Bin is the technical director of the police, and there are two other juniors dug from the technical team. technician.Right now, he was thinking about whether to go to the technical department next door to catch two young men, or to apply directly to the higher-ups.

When Quan Yifeng first mentioned the idea of ​​this investigation system to Ji Lian at that time, he once said such bold words as "upgrading the current passive assistance of computer technology in investigation to active attack", but at that time he largely The above is just a whim of the moment.He never thought that this semi-finished system, just to alarm the automatically matched suicide star map, would realize his brain hole in a blink of an eye.While marveling at the modern technology, seeing the tired sleeping postures of the people around him, Quan Yifeng felt even more sorry for Ji Lian, the big baby.

Fortunately, it's not a holiday, and the highway is smooth all the way.They left the city at [-]:[-], and it took less than five hours to drive to the door of the second uncle's house, even a little earlier than his queen mother.

Second Uncle An'an's family has been in the town for nearly twenty years.The expressway was opened in the town several years ago, and his home is not far away after getting off the expressway. The traffic is very convenient.This is a mountain town.Driving all the way from Linzhou, the scenery outside the window ranges from the cement forest of the big city to the crop and sugarcane forest of the small plain, and finally to the mountainous peaks here, which is also unique.But Quan Yifeng was not willing to wake up Ji Lian, but he himself didn't know if he felt the change in the air outside the car, and he woke up when Quan Yifeng drove out of the fifth mountain tunnel.

Just now Quan Yifeng was afraid that he might catch cold from the mountain wind blowing all the time, so he closed all the car windows.After Ji Lian woke up, he was caught off guard by the lush greenery in his eyes. He was very pleasantly surprised, so he couldn't wait to open the car window a crack, and the mountain wind poured in again, feeling refreshed.

The eighteen bends of the mountain road, even the newly built expressway, basically circles around the mountain.The layers of green in front of the eyes simply make the caged birds from the city feel refreshed.Occasionally, a gust of wind blew across the mountain, blowing up the continuous green waves, spreading from one mountain to another, and Ji Lian was fascinated by it.

"Xiao Ji, come here, this is Yifeng's second uncle, this is third uncle, this is our old village chief Uncle Azan, this is..." Quan Yifeng just got out of the car when Quan Yifeng got out of the car .Surrounded by the crowd, she deftly pushed aside the crowd, recognized Ji Lian from the corner with sharp eyes, walked straight to him, grabbed his hand, and gave an introduction with the attitude of a master.

"This is our Yifeng's colleague Ji Lian, a great professor at Linzhou University!" Seeing the queen mother's proud appearance, Quan Yifeng was both full of pride and a little helpless: How short is your queen mother who can read.

"Isn't Yifeng an official in the police station? How did he become a colleague with the big professor?" The second uncle or the third uncle from which family didn't know interrupted.

"You don't know about that, Professor Ren Ji, there is a project in the police station, whether it is computer or computer repair. Yifeng and the others are now relying on him to solve the case!"

When it was said that it was a matter of solving the case, everyone was in an uproar, and they were more respectful and curious about this professor who repaired computers.

Quan Yifeng Fu forehead: Empress Dowager, can you save some face for your own son, please?

Ji Lian holds up his glasses: The computer department does not repair computers, thank you.

Relatives came back outside, as if half of the town had gathered, crowding into the second uncle's house.Second Uncle's house was just built two years ago. It is six stories high and each floor covers an area of ​​150 square meters.The houses they build there are basically built wall by wall, and it is popular to leave a patio in the middle of the house.Of course, it is different from the previous open-air patio, the uppermost floor is covered with a glass roof.The lobby on the first floor is in the center of the patio, with natural lighting and transparency.Today is a family reunion, not only the first floor is full of guests, but even the stairs around the patio and the handrails of the corridors are full of people.Fortunately, the invisible steel wires are installed on the handrails, otherwise it would be really worrying if the people below chatted and fell down from the upstairs with a "boom--".

If you look carefully, in the chaotic hall, the seats are actually very particular.Except for the second and third uncles with the highest seniority, Quan Guifang was the first in the parents' generation, followed by the sons and daughters of the second and third uncles.

Quan Yifeng is obviously the surname of his mother.He had heard from the queen mother that his grandfather, the queen mother's father, was the youngest in the family, ranked fourth, and a man of culture like his great-grandfather.When I was very young, at that time, I don’t know whether it was because I was too educated or something, I went to prison, I didn’t survive, and I died in prison.

Don't look at everyone's good attitude towards their mother and son today, and they are used to him as a heterogeneous son who takes his mother's surname. He even has a name in the genealogy of the ancestral hall. Before Quan Guifang became rich, as an unmarried single mother, What kind of gossip and gossip she has experienced from the villagers, and what kind of perseverance she relies on to insist on not disclosing the identity of Quan Yifeng's father, all kinds of situations are not something that Quan Yifeng can easily imagine now.

But Quan Yifeng not only followed his mother's surname, but probably also followed his mother's temperament, such as the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, you know Lao Tzu but Lao Tzu doesn't know you well.For him, his hometown is a super-large theme park, and there is only one theme in it, which is natural landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and shrimps, and even wild beasts and raptors occasionally.Needless to say when I was young, now that I am so excited to bring Ji Lian back, apart from the small thought of letting relatives recognize his face, the most important thing is to show off his great treasure to his sweetheart.Probably similar to the mood of a little boy eager to show his secret base to his best friends?

Most of Quan Yifeng's childhood and teenage years were spent in Linzhou.One of the well-known benefits of megacities is that behind the indifference, there is a huge inclusiveness unmatched by other places.To put it bluntly, as long as there is no crime, no one can hinder anyone's life.Therefore, Quan Guifang, who deviated from the orthodoxy when he was young, has made a fortune outside in the past few decades, and now the village builds ancestral houses, why not respectfully invite Quan Yifeng, a genuine descendant, to go back.

The people in the room chatted for a long time, and the two people who had been busy in the kitchen for a long time came out to ask the second uncle for instructions.

Quan Yifeng found that Ji Lian didn't have much restraint in this completely unfamiliar environment, and even enjoyed eating in the mix of unexplained dialect shouts and children's screams of crying or laughing, and only occasionally corrected him. Two guys who came over and asked him how to fix his computer.After a noisy lunch, all the things that should be scattered were dispersed, leaving only a few uncles and uncles who had drunk a little wine, snoring on the mahogany sofa in the side hall.

Quan Yifeng reported to the Queen Mother, and then took Ji Lian to the other side of the mountain.

Ji Lian asked after getting into the car, "Where are we going?"

"Take you fishing."

"You've just finished one meal, and you're starting to think about the next one?" Although Ji Lian said so, there was no reluctance on Ji Lian's excited expression.

"The meal was so chaotic just now, how can you have much thought to eat up and down. I will take you to the mountain to fish, catch a few big ones, and bring it to my cousin's house tonight and ask him to open it for you. A small stove."

The afternoon sun was just right, Ji Lian took a nap in the car for less than 10 minutes, and their car drove along the stream in the town into the mountains.Arriving at a relatively large corner, Quan Yifeng stopped the car.

"arrive?"

"I haven't reached the fishing place yet, so let me take you to the ancestral hall at the head of the village."

"Is there anything worth seeing in the ancestral hall?"

"Hey, let me show you the family tree of our village," Quan Yifeng got out of the car with a look of embarrassment.Ji Lian thought, as if no one had ever seen a genealogy.But when I think about it carefully, I really haven't seen my family tree.His father really didn't care much about going back to his hometown.

Walking into the front hall of the ancestral hall, it was very quiet in there, only an old man wearing almost black coarse cloth sat on a wooden bench, chanting Buddha and pulling beads. I don’t know if he came here to eat fast on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, or he guarded the place all year round. .Quan Yifeng went over to say hello to him, he slightly raised his head and stared at Quan Yifeng for a long time, his dim eyes didn't know how much he recognized the man in front of him, he just said vaguely: "I'm back, it's good to be back." Then he walked away with another uneven copper kettle.

Quan Yifeng first took Ji Lian around the ancestral hall, and then met the old man in the backyard.Quan Yifeng yelled a few words in his ear, and seeing him nodding his head very calmly, he led the two of them into a small side room, took out a key from a wooden cabinet inside and gave it to Quan Yifeng. .They returned to the main hall of the ancestral hall with the key. Quan Yifeng unlocked the copper lock under the hanging cabinet where the god tablet was enshrined, and took out the legendary family tree from inside.

The genealogy looks like it's been around for years, but the paper is in good quality and it's been carefully plastic-bound.Quan Yifeng searched for a long time on the last few pages, and finally found his own name.On top of Quan Yifeng is naturally Quan Guifang, on top of Quan Guifang is his grandfather Quan Junzhu, and on top of that is his great-grandfather Quan Songyan.

"I heard from my mother that my great-grandfather knew how to write articles, and even passed the Juren examination. However, he was only interested in articles and not in being an official. Later, he was invited to Linzhou to serve as a civil servant for the magistrate. Unfortunately, he failed in the end. A good ending." Quan Yifeng took Ji Lian to visit the family tree while introducing their family stories.

"These two are the second uncle and the third uncle." Their eyes returned to Quan Junzhu's line, and Quan Lizhu and Quan Dezhu were written in front of them in turn, "Hey, why is there another person in front?" Ji Lian followed Quan Yifeng looked over and saw "Quan Xiuzhu" written on the front of Quan Lizhu.

"It doesn't look like this ink was added recently, but I haven't looked through the family tree for several years." Quan Yifeng looked at the name of this "big aunt" who had never met with interest, and murmured Said, "Ji Lian, does this name sound familiar to you?"

After what Quan Yifeng said, Ji Lian didn't realize he started to think seriously.After a while, he asked, "Why did you say that your great-grandfather disappeared?"

"I haven't asked my mother about the details. It's probably because intellectuals were suppressed in that era, and they were given some kind of hat. What?"

"Do you still remember Su Shanshan's grandmother, that is to say, the one who was implicated in her natal family's affairs and was later exiled with her husband Su Yunhe, also seems to have the surname Quan."

"Could it be this Quan Xiuzhu?" Quan Yifeng was still rummaging through the information in his mind, a little unbelievable, "It can't be such a coincidence, can it? Su Shanshan and I are distant cousins?"

"That's really a coincidence." Looking at the name of Quan Songyan on the top of the genealogy, Ji Lian couldn't help but sigh with emotion when he looked at the name of Quan Songyan on the top of the genealogy, "The old man was born at such a bad time."
