Zhang Ke took a taxi back to Xiangshan Forest Park, retrieved the developed photos and film from the photofinishing shop, and returned to the city by car. It was completely dark when he arrived home.

Zhang Zhixing sat on the sofa with a gloomy face: Where have you been all day?

Standing at the door, Zhang Ke thought to himself: No wonder Dad is angry. When Ye Xinming heard Tang Xueqian's words asking him to go out and avoid him, the idea of ​​leaving or staying was still struggling in his father's mind. The news of his uncle's passing this afternoon should have come from his hometown. This gave Dad an excuse to leave Haizhou, but he disappeared at this time. No wonder he was so angry.

Grandpa is leaving today. Our family is going back to Dongshe for your grandpa's funeral. Where have you been since you were away all day? Liang Gezhen stood behind her husband and waited for a long time. She didn't come home for dinner at noon. The classmate's home phone has been called all over, and she is almost going to call the police.

Zhang Ke stood at the door and curled his lips, looked at his father with a gloomy face, and said, Why did you leave Haizhou, don't you want to take care of Uncle Tang's affairs?

What about Uncle Tang? Zhang Zhixing baffled Zhang Ke's words, Why did you say such inexplicable things as soon as you came back?

Zhang Ke didn't have time to slowly reveal the truth like a guessing game, and he didn't care whether this was what he should have said at the age of sixteen: Isn't Uncle Tang under quarantine inspection? Dad is afraid that the provincial inspection team will follow I want you to be investigated. Others say that Uncle Tang has problems, but if you insist that Uncle Tang has no problems, others will not tolerate you; but if you pour dirty water on Uncle Tang without conscience, you will have a bad conscience for the rest of your life What should I do? It would be nice if I could leave this place of right and wrong, even if Secretary Ye didn’t bring me a word, Dad would still go to Dongshe for a while…”

Who taught you to say these words? Zhang Zhixing was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, completely unaware that these words were spoken by his sixteen-year-old son.

Who taught me what to say? The things that have happened in my family over the years, and the people who have been greeted and sent to them. After seeing too much, I will naturally understand. Do I need others to teach me? Zhang Ke didn't care about what he said. I was shocked, and I had to sting and wake up my father all at once, Uncle passed away, isn't it the third day after the funeral? We rushed back in such a hurry, what would my cousin think?

Zhang Ke saw that his father's face gradually turned livid, lest he lose control of his emotions for a while, and vented himself as a human sandbag. Seeing that he had signs of an attack, he hid in his room first, and speculated in his heart what the words just said would cause in his father's heart As a result, he put his ear against the door and eavesdropped on the conversation outside.

Xiao Ke is also right. You have been hesitating these days, isn't it just these concerns?

Is that something a kid his age would say?

Why isn't it like that? Xiao Ke's temper is up to you, precocious and precocious, although he has been bored since he was a child, no one else knows what he is thinking.

You know that Tang Xueqian and I went to the city from the teacher's academy, and if I poured dirty water on Tang Xueqian, he wouldn't be able to wash it off no matter what, I was afraid that someone would know my relationship with Tang Xueqian and instigate Xiao Ke to talk nonsense.

My son still can't believe it, who do you want to trust? My son is bored, he has a lot of eyes, he is sixteen years old, who can instigate him? You have to worry, just call your son out and ask if you can...

Go and call him...

No one told me what to say, Zhang Ke stood behind the door and heard this. He walked out of the house and handed the photo of Tang Xueqian and Xu Si to his father. Is everyone talking about Uncle Tang and this man? Do women engage in that relationship?

Zhang Zhixing almost jumped up,

Trembling, he took the photo and stared at his son with an incredulous look: Where did you get this photo?

Don't worry about where I got this photo, the provincial inspection team will see similar photos soon, Zhang Ke said calmly, If Uncle Tang is convicted of taking bribes, Dad, you leave at this time. Haizhou, will it make people think that it is deliberately avoiding the investigation of the provincial investigation team...

Zhang Zhixing was in a cold sweat. These days, he only wanted to escape, but he didn't think about deeper issues. He asked his sixteen-year-old son to explain it to him. He has been in the circle for seven or eight years, and he is very clear about the rules inside. Even if he has no problems at that time, he will not be able to prevent others from pouring sewage on him. People still have some.

But is that what sixteen-year-olds say? On the contrary, Liang Gezhen wished that her son was the most outstanding and smartest boy in the world. She didn't think it was too unusual, and even felt that her husband was making a fuss. However, she also felt that it was strange that this photo fell into the hands of her son, so she asked him: Where did this photo come from?

Zhang Ke knew that his words and deeds would cause great shock to his father, and if he didn't speak clearly at this time, he would delay the opportunity: Dad has been with Uncle Tang for so many years, why does Uncle Tang still distrust Dad so much? Did the secretary tell Dad to leave Haizhou for a while?

What else do you know? Zhang Zhixing didn't know why his son suddenly said these words inexplicably, but he did point out the doubts in his heart, but he still couldn't see through it, and everyone in the city government knew it. I went into the city with Tang Xueqian, and they all gloated and avoided myself, and couldn't get any news.

Seeing his father sitting upright, Zhang Ke knew that he was starting to take his words seriously.

Of course Zhang Ke would not be so stupid as to say that he knew what would happen five years later. If he wanted to tell the truth, he had to make up reasons to convince his father. For this reason, Zhang Ke thought about it on the way home: This woman, Zhang Ke pointed to Xu Si in the photo, I once saw it in the back mountain of Xiangshan, not long ago, in the back mountain Outside a villa, I saw her with a man, but it wasn't Uncle Tang, but a man that no one would have expected...

who is it?

Don't worry about who it is, Zhang Ke was still thinking about convincing the lie first, Yesterday, I heard my mother said that Uncle Tang had that kind of relationship with this woman. I was surprised. I went to the back of Xiangshan early in the morning. After turning around, I saw this man again in that villa...

Zhang Ke took out the photos taken in front of the red brick villa at the northern foot of the mountain today: I asked for a rented camera in the forest park, and the results were not bad. Who do you look like?

The first photo shows a black Nissan car driving into a red brick villa; the second photo shows Ding Xiangshan slumped into the Nissan car. Although it is not Ding Xiangshan's No. 1 car, it is the license plate of the municipal party committee, and the red Corolla car is parked beside it. , Ding Xiangshan’s head was not photographed, but Zhang Ke believes that his father can recognize him at a glance; the third photo is a red corolla car driving out of a red brick villa, and this red corolla appeared in the background of the photo taken by Tang Xueqian and Xu Si inside. Although the light in the woods is dim and there is no flash, the shooting effect is not bad, and the shooting time is displayed in the lower right corner.

Zhang Ke believed that he would not be conscious if he stuffed two eggs into his father's mouth at this time.

After taking the photos, I went to the photofinishing shop in Shannan to develop the film. I didn't expect to meet this woman who was also picking up photos there. In the photo she took from the photofinishing shop, there was a photo of her and Uncle Tang. I took advantage of her not caring. I took one, Zhang Ke picked up the photo of Tang Xueqian and Xu Si, it's this one...

Dad's brain is not stupid, and I believe he will be able to figure out the cause and effect soon. Zhang Ke rubbed his hands and asked his mother: I haven't eaten yet, I'm almost starving to death...

How did you know to take these photos? Liang Gezhen put his arms around his son's shoulders and pushed him into the kitchen together, Don't hinder your dad...you didn't come back, we don't have the mood to eat, come with me to order noodles, and then make two Let's get the eggs together...

Xiao Ke... Zhang Ke had just arrived in the kitchen with his mother, when his father called him in the living room, Tell me carefully what you saw today.

Zhang Ke didn't know how deep Xu Si fell into. He was afraid that he would have to find another way, so he couldn't tell everything between himself and Xu Si, but only told what happened in the morning.

Why Ding Xiangshan?

Zhang Ke heard Ding Xiangshan's name from his father talking to himself, knowing that he had already guessed part of the truth.

The province received the report and sent an inspection team to investigate without any substantive evidence. The spearhead was pointed at Tang Xueqian and quarantine inspection was implemented. At the right time, Haizhou had so many things unfavorable to Tang Xueqian. There must be some strong force in it. The characters are at work, and Dad knows this too, but he doesn't know exactly who and why.

What is the relationship between Uncle Tang and this woman? This group photo looks quite ambiguous?

I don't know either, Zhang Zhixing sighed, You are still young, and you don't understand things between men and women very well. There are some things that Tang Xueqian himself might not be able to explain clearly...

I know, if Uncle Tang really understood, there wouldn't be these photos...

Oh... where did you learn all this? Zhang Zhixing stretched out his hand and touched the back of Zhang Ke's head, It's really incomprehensible for children nowadays.

Zhang Ke smiled, seeing that his father's face was no longer gloomy as when he just came back, knowing that he would not speak out his doubts to discuss with himself, it would not be too late to remind his father little by little after things happened step by step, Maybe Dad has already grasped the key issue in his heart.

Liang Gezhen brought out the finished noodles, and Zhang Zhixing picked up the bowl, and poured the whole bowl of noodles into his stomach in two or three strokes like a storm.

Zhang Ke was afraid of being hot, and he had just eaten less than one-third of a bowl of noodles. When he saw his father stretching out the chopsticks to scoop up the noodles in his bowl, he jumped out and avoided: I haven't eaten all day, and this bowl of noodles is still hot. Not enough for me to eat...

I just came back and wanted to eat people, Liang Gezhen put the noodles in her bowl into her husband's bowl, Now it's like fighting for food with chickens, you two eat first, and I'll order some more Noodle……

No, Zhang Zhixing stopped his wife, When you go out to buy food, you have to pick the right ones, and when you come back, you'd better let the people in the yard see me. Just watch my show, no matter whether Tang Xueqian's affairs turn around or not, but now I can't follow these people's wishes...

What are you still fighting for at this time? Liang Gezhen was a little puzzled.

Mom, it's not about fighting for morale. Everyone is willing to fight a dog in the water... Zhang Ke said beside him, The more frustrated you are, the more you can't let others look down on you, especially in this yard, who Are you waiting for the opportunity to step on someone else's foot and knock someone out?

Hehe... Zhang Zhixing laughed, and hit his son's head with his chopsticks, Who are you calling a dog in the water? He urged his wife, You don't even understand Xiaoke, go, go...

Liang Gezhen saw that her husband seemed to let go of his thoughts completely, and asked with confidence: Have you figured it out?

Xiao Ke's words reminded me that Tang Xueqian can trust Ye Xinming, why can't he trust me? Tang Xueqian really has something shameful, and Ye Xinming, his full-time secretary, knows the details. Ye Xinming's helping Tang Xueqian with words may be a trap, I can't touch the dark Just jump in...

Then what do you do, what can these few photos do?

Maybe it won't work, maybe it will work... Zhang Zhixing said vaguely, They want me to leave Haizhou. When I arrive at Dongshe tomorrow, I will know whether these photos can be used. It worked.

Liang Gezhen couldn't help asking: What's the matter, do you want to go back to Dongshe?

Of course I have to go back to Dongshe. I have already asked Zhou Fuming for leave. I can't say I won't leave. That would be bad. Besides, everyone is avoiding me like the plague. Even if I stay in the city, it's useless. Zhang Zhixing drank the wine, his cheeks flushed, But it's not that our family will all go back to the East Club. Xiao Ke and I will go back to the East Club. You stay and see how things will develop. Even if you hear it, you can get some news. It’s good to make a few more phone calls every day, so it’s convenient to come back when something happens.”
