Abyss of ignorance

Ah Ruo drove Lin Xiaodong through the streets and alleys of Linzhou, and arrived at the earliest city center of Linzhou, the earliest memory of prosperity in the memory of all Linzhou people.

The car drove over a bridge in the 80s of the last century, as if entering another time and space. The buildings in the style of the Republic of China are preserved here, and the shops on both sides of the road have not yet opened.

The morning sun shines through the luxuriant sycamore trees, casting dappled spots of light on the road.

The car was parked at an unremarkable breakfast shop on the side of the road. There were only five tables inside, first come, first served.

Lin Xiaodong saw Ye Mimi sitting inside at a glance. Breakfast was already on the table, waiting for him to join.

"With your work intensity, if JN003 can be successful on your body, I won't worry about its launch at all." Ye Mimi said, looking at Lin Xiaodong who was sitting opposite.

Lin Xiaodong looked at this simple breakfast shop and said, "You seem to like this small roadside shop very much."

"I am the child of a teacher at Linda University, and these are my childhood." Ye Mimi said, "The fried rice cakes in this store are very delicious, you can try them."

Lin Xiaodong saw that Ye Mimi's table was empty except for a hearty breakfast in front of him, so he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"It's because I liked it when I was a child, not now. You can't accept what I eat now." Ye Mimi's eyes seemed to say that you know it.

Of course Lin Xiaodong remembered the first time they met, the scene of Ye Mimi eating raw beef was vivid in his memory.

He unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks and ate a big mouthful of rice cakes. Recently, his appetite has improved: "This fried rice cake is good. But, you didn't want to invite me to eat fried rice cakes, did you?"

"Well, I just hope you have a richer context to remember the conversation between us. Inviting you to dinner is just a means." Ye Mimi speaks with an extraordinary directness, which comes from her directness. Lin Xiaodong could vaguely understand the confidence to control everything, and he didn't feel offended.

"It seems that Mr. Ye has something important to tell me." Lin Xiaodong smiled and picked up another chopstick full of fried rice cakes.

"I don't like being called Mr. Ye. Let's make an agreement. From now on, every time you call me Mr. Ye, I will deduct Ah Ruo's salary."

"Ah Ruo and I are not even friends, so it doesn't make sense for you to threaten me with him?" Lin Xiaodong looked at Ye Mimi with a serious face, disapproving.

But Ye Mimi raised his eyebrows: "Your biggest problem is the sense of responsibility without borders, universal love, not to mention Ah Ruo, any irrelevant person, if I pull you out to threaten you, it will work."

Lin Xiaodong frowned slightly, and heard the subtext of the words: "Ye Mimi, what do you want to say?" His resistance is similar to that of a stubborn student who knows that he has made a mistake, but when facing the teacher, he has a feeling of reluctance. Accepting the rebellion of the training, the so-called sense of responsibility without boundaries and universal love that Ye Mimi pointed out, he couldn't help but make him take the right place, alluding to the relationship between him and Jiang Lin.

"Don't worry, I won't do those mother-in-law things." Ye Mimi seemed to have the ability to read minds, and she could see Lin Xiaodong's inner activities in this subtle frown. She still only had a glass of clear water in her hand, and she was turning it slightly. As if pondering the changes in the light and shadow of the water glass falling on the table, "Do you still remember the last time we talked, that before Lu Guangzhong fled abroad, he burned his own mansion?"

"Remember, what's the matter?" Lin Xiaodong didn't realize the connection between these two topics.

"Because of your case, I read almost all the materials related to Lu Guangzhong that I could find, and found many interesting things. The well-known former residence of Lu Guangzhong does not seem to be all his residences."

Lin Xiaodong pursed his lips: "You are a medical professional, why are you suddenly interested in history?"

"My dad said that scientists need to understand humanities, and scientific research without humanistic care will inevitably go astray. Therefore, most of the books we are required to read since childhood are related to literature and history. It is not that I am suddenly interested in history. I just suddenly I am interested in the history related to Lu Guangzhong."

"Heh, as expected of a scientist, he speaks quite rigorously."

"Thank you for the confirmation. The former residence where Lu Guangzhong's sign is now hung is said to be rebuilt on the original site, but this place is more like a place where he used to meet guests and work. Lu Guangzhong's real private house has been forgotten whether it was intentional or unintentional. But It is not surprising that in the whole history, Lu Guangzhong is not a figure worthy of being valued. He is just a small local warlord, that is, he is quite famous in Linzhou. Even Linda, I think so It seems that no one in the history department has studied him specifically for many years."

Lin Xiaodong listened silently. He had known Ye Mimi for so long and knew that she would never talk nonsense. If he had specially asked him out this morning, and all he had said so far was related to Lu Guangzhong, then it must be Lu Guangzhong and her. Xu Binyong's case has other connections besides the design of secret passages.

This made him think of one thing, and said: "The clue of Lu Guangzhong was provided by the painter. What I can find out now is that he was also imprisoned in the Linzhou Detention Center in 1998, and it was Xu Binyong. This cell."

"I know." Unexpectedly, Ye Mimi said suddenly, "The painting is very obvious. If he is not the murderer, he is someone who has stayed in it, but the exact year is unknown."

"Okay, then let's talk about Lu Guangzhong. He hid his name in the painting, isn't it just for us to discover the secret way?" Lin Xiaodong discussed the case and stayed up all night sleepy. All gone.

Seeing his excitement, Ye Mimi was as calm as ever. He didn't comment on his speculation, but continued to talk about Lu Guangzhong: "The reason why Huosang East Road was the starting point of Linzhou's modern prosperity was because Linzhou was at that time All dignitaries live here, and Lu Guangzhong is no exception."

Lin Xiaodong couldn't help but turned his head to look at the road outside the breakfast shop. On the opposite side of the road, those retro and old villas were covered with sundries and wires criss-crossed. Mi said, "You mean, there is a place here that originally belonged to Lu Guangzhong?"

Ye Mimi shook her head slightly, took out an old photo that was also photocopied from her pocket, and put it in front of Lin Xiaodong.

"This is the only photo of Lu Zhai that can be found in Linzhou so far." Ye Mimi only said this sentence, as if Lin Xiaodong would know the mystery of it after looking at the photo.
