Rebirth: 1977

Yin Tianshui went to 'Xizi Hutong' by himself.

Follow the place he passed last time and search the dead end where Hua Zilan was attacked.

The best time to search the crime scene has passed. Yin Tianshui is not sure whether he can find anything that will help solve the case.

At that time, his heart was all focused on Hua Zilan, and he never thought of finding clues by himself.

Standing in that small open space, he closed his eyes and thought about the scene that night.

The locations where the four people fell seemed to flash before his eyes.

Just disappear for no reason?

Neither going to heaven nor entering the earth, how did the four dead people disappear here?

It takes at least 5 minutes to walk in from Xizi Hutong.

Dragging four dead people down an alley?

Yin Tianshui suddenly opened his eyes and stared straight at the wall, which was only about 1.5 meters long.

He walked over and looked carefully at the old and peeling wall.

Yin Tianshui saw the investigation report of the two police officers, which mentioned the wall.

Said no traces were found!

He jumped easily and climbed up to the wall. There was nothing unusual about the mottled wall.

The wall is about ten meters long. Outside the wall, there is a dead end that requires walking sideways.

Where he was standing now was at the bottom of this dead end, blocked by a two-story house that was more than six meters high.

Yin Tianshui raised his eyes and took a few more glances.

At a height of two meters, there is a wooden lattice window, tightly closed.

The wood of the windows is old and has turned black, but it can be seen that it is well protected, and the tung oil brushed oil is very clear.

Yin Tianshui went out and walked sideways into the dead end.

Spring is here, the temperature is about ten degrees today, and Yin Tianshui has long taken off his cotton-padded clothes.

He is a tall and not fat person, but his frame has grown. If he can barely get in, the clothes he wears will definitely get dirty.

After thinking about it, I took off my coat and held it in my hand, rubbing against the wall as little as possible step by step.

After looking carefully, he found that there were still people here and there, and the walls were not as dirty as he thought.

After walking for about 3 minutes, it suddenly opened up before my eyes, and I arrived at Xizi Street.

Today is Sunday and there are many people on the street.

On both sides are department stores, bookstores, restaurants, barber shops, pharmacies...

Everything that should be there is available here. What made Yin Tianshui's eyes shine was the "Shengtang Coffee Shop" with three bays, three floors and three courtyards.

He didn't expect that there was a 'Shengtang Coffee Shop' on Daxue Road near Qingda University, and there was also one on Xizi Street.

The entire layout is exactly the same size.

He just walked out along the wall of the 'Shengtang Coffee Shop'.

There is an open space next to the east wall, with a side door on the wall.

Yin Tianshui squinted his eyes and glanced around. When he got here, everything he could go to was in all directions.

He returned to the dead end and looked carefully at the ground to see if there were any traces of dragging.

Unfortunately, more than half a month has passed since that night, and anyone who is not fat can pass here.

There must be many people who want to take shortcuts.

What traces cannot be erased?

Yin Tianshui returned to Xizi Street, stood in silence at the door of the coffee shop, and put on a clean coat to cover up the dirt on his body.

Step into the coffee shop.

There are not many people inside.

He chose a seat by the window on the east side and sat down.

A young woman walked over lightly, smiled and spoke with a warm tone:

"This gentleman looks strange. Is this his first time coming to our store?

May I ask, what flavor of coffee do you like? "

Yin Tianshui looked at her with calm eyes and replied calmly:

"Bring me a cup of 'YSS' hand-ground coffee."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I will prepare it for you right away."

The young woman retreated with a smile on her face.

After a while, a young woman came over with a "Popular Film" magazine and explained politely:

"Sir, your coffee needs to wait for a while. You can read a magazine first."

Yin Tianshui reached out and took it: "Thank you."

It seems that the service here is still very attentive.

He turned sideways out of the window, just in time to see the people coming in and out of the gate.

Suddenly, a familiar figure got off a Beijing Jeep 212 outside.

He is almost [-] in height, walks gracefully and gracefully, and is charming and cold.

Yin Tianshui couldn't help but feel curious. Does this woman particularly like drinking coffee?

He consciously turned his body a little further. In this position, he was half hidden in the shadow of the pillar. People coming in from outside could not see clearly who he was without looking carefully.

After the woman came in, several waiters greeted her respectfully:

"Hello, Mrs. Tang!"

"Hello, Mrs. Tang!"

The woman in high heels did not stop, nodded slightly, and scanned the store with her eyes for a week, then walked upstairs without even looking at them.

The stairs were covered with red carpet, and there was no sound at all when walking.

Yin Tianshui's eyes moved slightly with the figure. What is the identity of this woman?

The coffee was delivered by another young waitress with a respectful attitude:

"Sir, if you need anything, please give me your orders.

If the taste of the coffee doesn't suit your taste, you can tell me.

There are sugar packets here, if you like it sweeter, you can add it yourself.

Slow use. "

When she smiled and bowed to leave, she was stopped by Yin Tianshui.

"Excuse me, is the woman just now your boss?

How may I call you? "

"Sorry, we don't know the boss's name. We only know that her surname is Tang and she is the successor of the Tang family.

We call her ‘Mrs. Tang’. "

Surname Tang?

The owner of Shengtang Coffee Shop is named Tang?

Yin Tianshui thought that after 2000, a very influential espionage case had been solved, and the main culprit was named Tang!

Tang Wenjing!

Yin Tianshui had already arrived in the capital at that time and saw a photo of her wearing prisoner clothes in the newspaper.

She is just an old lady with wrinkles and gray hair, there is no charm at all!

Is it her?

It's impossible for him to meet him more than 20 years in advance by such a coincidence, right?

If it is her, then has she started espionage now, or did Qi Yu join her later?

Yin Tianshui was not sure.

We must first find out whether this woman’s name is ‘Tang Wenjing’!

Most of the people who come here to drink coffee are the wives and children of Beijing official families.

They have money and leisure, and enjoy a luxurious and elegant material life.

What they talk about among themselves is their parents' shortcomings and competing to show off their respective identities and backgrounds.

When those officials from the capital came out to socialize, they not only invited them to dinner, but also drank tea.

Or be arty and hang out at a coffee shop.

It is the easiest thing to collect information in a place like this.

All the cells in Yin Tianshui's body sounded the alarm.

He drank the coffee in one gulp, paid and left quickly.

He must verify the name of this female boss as soon as possible!

The position of ‘Prosperous Tang Dynasty’ is too subtle.

What Yin Tianshui was thinking was that too many coincidences always hide unspeakable secrets.

"Sir, go slowly. Please come to the store again next time."

The young woman respectfully sent Yin Tianshui to the door.

When Yin Tianshui turned the corner, he suddenly stopped.

A familiar figure appeared at the side door of the 'Shengtang Coffee Shop'.

He squinted and took a closer look. He saw a man in plain clothes, a hat and sunglasses. He was definitely Meng Fan!

He will never mistake it!

Yin Tianshui was surprised and turned around. He knocked on the door a few times and someone opened it. Meng Fan looked around cautiously before ducking in.

Inside the door, the color of a piece of clothing flashed past, dark purple, which happened to be the coat that the female boss named Tang was wearing just now.

Yin Tianshui's scalp was numb.

Is Meng Fan related to the female boss named Tang?

The fact that the two people arrived one after the other must have been agreed upon in advance.

He stopped staying, found a post office on Xizi Street, and called Hua Zilan.

Zi Lan is the captain of the criminal investigation team in this area, so she should know the names of these store owners.

"Xiao Shui, why don't you come to my house today and Sunday?

My parents are at home, and just now they were asking me if you would come for dinner.

are you coming? "

Hua Zilan's clear and joyful voice passed through Yin Tianshui's eardrums and entered his heart.

Yin Tianshui couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Looking at the people coming and going around him, this was not the place to talk, so he immediately changed his mind:

"Zi Lan, I'll be right over.

You tell your dad that I still have something to do with him and ask him not to leave. "
