Chapter 35 Survivor
"Mr. Liao's clue? Did his fiancée find that forensic doctor?" Zhang Guozhong asked.
"Wrong! It's the clue that the boy found himself!" Old Liu stretched out his head and said, "Two clues. First, he secretly flipped through the album of Qiye's photo and found a photo similar to the family photo. It should have been taken by his father before his birth! In addition to the Liao family, there is another monk who is a monk and an old master! He is probably similar to Qiye at that time. As Young Master Liao knows, no one in the Liao family has ever become a monk and is an old master, so he concluded that this person is an outsider! In addition, there is a young woman in the photo, who looks very much like Liang Xiaolan. He suspected that this photo was strange! Because he was secretly flipping through it, he cannot mention this matter for the time being. He can only wait for the opportunity to ask Qiye himself in person, but he hopes that we will take a look first. The photocopy of the photo is already on the way to the mainland."
"That's the clue!?" Zhang Guozhong almost passed away. What kind of clue is this?
"Don't worry! Listen to me!" Old Liu was calm, "Young Master Liao is not a fool, and you won't use worthless clues to cause trouble for us! What he said was that the great master seemed to have contacted the Kuomintang spies at that time, but no one knew what he was doing. Because I heard us talk about Mr. Ma Sijia, Yun Lingzi and the China Taiping Prayer Committee not long ago, so I suspected that this old man also had something to do with those things, so I wanted to show us the photos."
"His great master has contacted the China Taiping Prayer Committee?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned, "What's his great master's name?"
"Liao Kezhou!" Old Liu smiled, "Did you remember it? This person was mentioned in the book "Detailed Records of the Momentary Actions of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War" written by Feng Kunlun..."
"Is it really his Liao family?" Zhang Guozhong was also stunned when he heard this. In the book "Detailed Records of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War Actions" written by Feng Kunlun after his blindness in his later years, he mentioned that Liao Kezhou was a person like him. The task seemed to be to use his complex social relations in Southeast Asian countries to send several unknown people to the Philippines as employees of the Liao family company. According to the records of the "Detailed Record", the task time should be around 1941. Although this task seemed ordinary, the Japanese army had just announced occupation at that time.
The Philippines is very suspicious of foreigners' entry. If the Japanese see through the true identity of these escorted people, Liao Kezhou's fate can be imagined. At that time, everyone also discussed whether this person had any relationship with the Liao family in Hong Kong, but he did not expect that this person was Liao Qi's father. "Even if Mr. Liao had contact with the China Taiping Prayer Committee, his mission and Mr. Ma and his mission were simply incompatible..." Zhang Guozhong still didn't understand.
"Hey, even if it doesn't matter, just take a look at the photos, you don't have to spend money..." Old Liu was a little impatient, "There is another clue, which should be considered a breakthrough clue... Yesterday, Young Master Liao called his aunt with a broken-out mentality, saying that he had entrust us to investigate the matter, hoping that his aunt could provide some clues. His aunt heard that someone really came to the mainland, and it was his sister and brother-in-law where something happened. She seemed to be a little worried in her tone, and she didn't blame him, but asked him to go to the UK and said she wanted to take him to meet someone! She also warned us not to act rashly for the time being..."
"Take rash actions..." Zhang Guozhong sighed, "I've been making rash actions... By the way, who is his aunt going to take him to see?"
"I don't know, I didn't say it on the phone, but Young Master Liao analyzed that it might be a survivor of his father's expedition team." Old Liu also frowned, "But he couldn't figure it out why his aunt had to wait until now to tell him to see this person... By the way, what did you find out from Brother Cui?"
"Nothing..." Zhang Guozhong reached out his hand, "The bag with the passport on the body was a sealed bag, which was 10 meters away from water, so the body had never been under water before death, and it was still impossible to judge. However, after Brother Cui's body shape, I thought of something again..." Zhang Guozhong explained his speculation about the locals committing crimes, "They had not registered in a regular hotel, which means that they must have lived in someone's house at that time... Although the cash and magnetic cards on their bodies were still there, their luggage was gone, and no other people's bodies were found... So I suspect: There is a possibility that the locals committed the crime, maybe they hired to do so.
Director... Maybe... Someone hired murderers and tricked them into the "Caichi" in the name of adventure, hoping to let them die in it, but unexpectedly, with the help of the masters, they came out safely... Or... they had never entered there at all... In short, there are many possibilities, such old cases..." Zhang Guozhong scratched his head more and more, "Senior brother, I don't think we need to find the murderer for Mr. Liao or even avenge him. This is not within our ability. I think the original intention of Mr. Liao entrusting us should be just to prove whether Dai Jinshuang is the murderer, and no matter what the result is, we should leave it to him to deal with it..."
"That's what he said..." After hearing Zhang Guozhong's analysis, Old Liu's heart trembled. Unexpectedly, the case of Liao Ruoyuan who had already determined the murderer would become so confusing now. "Guozhong, Young Master Liao's original intention is indeed the case, but how easy is it to prove whether Dai Jinshuang is the murderer? If you want to prove that he is the murderer, you have to get the evidence. If you want to prove that he is not the murderer, you must find the real murderer..." Between the lines, Old Liu seemed to be very difficult to make a fortune, "Let's wait until Young Master Liao meets his aunt before talking to that person... By the way,
Mr. Liao said, it would be better for me to go there too. If it is convenient, I can also visit Liang Xiaolan. Although the two families didn’t move around, she was nominally the grandmother of Mr. Liao…” Old Liu stretched out, “Let’s go back first in the next two days. I’ll go to the UK. Guozhong, you can raise it well at home. Mr. Qin, what should you do if you really can’t do it… I have to go there… I’ve been going down all the ‘Caichi’, so what do you do…” To be honest, Old Liu himself felt that he would definitely be “guided by the ghost” to promise that Liao Ruoyuan…
After two more days of rest, everyone returned to Tianjin.
When they returned home, Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Yicheng couldn't believe their eyes. The kite that was abducted from Lianhua Mountain actually flew home by themselves, and brought a "son-in-law" who was in the back - the wild kite. The couple simply went back to their parents' home to settle down. They screamed endlessly all day long, making Li Erya feel annoyed and hung her heart. They wanted to bombard her but couldn't, but they drove her away. They waited for the middle of the night to return. The next morning, they became even more yelling. The most fatal thing was that since the day the two birds returned home, they began to prey on their own, and the house was covered with feathers and blood. Seeing that their husband and son were back, Li Erya's first thing was to ask Zhang Yicheng to find a way, either to bombard them or to bomb the new ones.
"Mom... don't be stupid..." With the strong sunlight, Zhang Yicheng began to observe the "sister-in-law" who was in the back door. He saw that the bird was gray-brown. Although it looked similar to the "jujube flowers" he raised, it was smaller than the size. The feathers were shining and shiny. The nutritional condition was obviously good. "Mom, I tell you, our son-in-law is not a kite at all..." Since raising the kite, Zhang Yicheng has also bought a lot of books on bird breeding and has accumulated a certain amount of theoretical knowledge.
"What's not a kite?" Zhang Guozhong is also quite fresh. He said that his son's ability to raise birds is really unique. He is obviously a kite, but now he is almost raising a pigeon. Being able to fly back from Gansu can be regarded as "the first bird in ancient times"...
"Dad, mom, I tell you, this thing is called a hunting falcon*! The 'Circle' calls this thing 'Door Falcon', this is a purebred..." At first in Lianhua Mountain, Zhang Yicheng thought that something was wrong. If it was a kite, the male should be smaller than the female. The "son-in-law" in front of him was obviously more than one circle larger than his "jujube flower". Because it was dark at that time, I didn't see it clearly, so Zhang Yicheng didn't think deeply, thinking that the wild might develop better, but at this moment, he looked closely and found that this thing was not a "Kite", but a purebred "Door Falcon".
"I don't care about the pigeons or pigeons, hurry up and find a way to kill me! The mess can't sleep, it makes people dirty everywhere. Isn't this a question asking neighbors to curse the streets?" Li Erya knew nothing about raising birds, and was so annoyed at this moment.
"Mom, I tell you, this thing is a national second-class protected animal. A good pigeon falcon. It can be sold abroad in RMB by RMB! I think this one is good. It turns out that I bought a book. The photos printed on the book are not as good as this one... Well, I look back and see my uncle. He should recognize this thing..."
"Pigal Falcon?" Zhang Guozhong was also stunned when he heard his son recognize this thing as a pigeon falcon. He also heard from his master that this thing was in the old society. It was a toy for the nobles of the royal palace. Most people could not afford it. At most, they could only make a kite, pigeon tiger, etc., because it was not only difficult to find, but also had to be fed live food. "Yicheng, our family can't raise this thing... It seems that this thing only eats live food, where can I get it for him... Besides, isn't it illegal to raise this animal by myself?"
"You have to protect animals!" When you hear that your parents don't agree to raise them, Zhang Yicheng was excited, "Who protects them? Do you expect the neighborhood aunt to protect them? You have to protect them yourself! If this bird is bombarded, it will be possible to be caught and sold within three days! What is protection? Protection means not interfering with the bird's own choice. It can live wherever it wants. Now this bird wants to live in our house, so we have to bomb it away and let others catch and sell it. Is this called protection? This is pushing people into the fire pit! That is the real violation... Regarding the issue of feeding, Dad, don't worry, we learned a word in politics class, called self-reliance, hard work, people
After all, the family is a 'pigeon' and will not eat our family for vain. Isn't it just the food they make by themselves in the past two days?" Zhang Yicheng looked at Zhang Guozhong and Li Erya, who were staring at her big eyes. It seemed that she had been "sprayed" by herself. "Okay, that's it. My daughter-in-law lives here. From today on, my son-in-law will call him "Bangzi". What should you do..." After that, Zhang Yicheng pushed and pulled her parents into the house, "Son, you won't really have a hybrid, right? If there are a bunch of small things in your life, wouldn't our family be in a mess..." Although Zhang Guozhong was not willing to take care of this matter, he was also a little doubtful...
on the other hand.
Although Qin Ge and Sun Ting both expressed their willingness to continue to help, because Sun Ting wanted to go back to the United States to arrange the big Liu and his son, this trip to the UK could only be with Qin Ge alone. Through Qin Ge's relationship, Lao Liu's visa to the UK was quite smooth. In just one week, not only did all the procedures have been completed, but the plane ticket had also been obtained. After arguing with Liao Ruoyuan on the phone, Lao Liu packed his luggage and prepared to fly to London in three days... "What a damn enemy, the road is narrow..." Looking at the plane ticket in his hand, Lao Liu looked helpless...

Falcon hunting: Birds, Falcon, Eagle family, uncommon migratory birds, national second-class protected animals, adult male falcon hunting body shape is 45-50 cm, breeding in the Altai Mountains and Kashgar region of Xinjiang, Tibet, Qinghai, northern Sichuan, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and Hulunchi; overwintering in southern Tibet.
Pigeon Tiger: a common name for peregrine falcons.
Regarding the breeding of falcons: Chinese people pay great attention to the breeding of falcons and falcons. They believe that the highest level of "playing with eagles" is to retain as much wildness as possible on the basis of training their "obedience". Therefore, in the rich families in the old society, playing with eagles was about feeding "live food" (the falcons are naturally fond of fresh meat, overnight, frozen, and spoiled meat is absolutely not eaten). They believe that obedient and fierce temperament is the best. If they grow up with the so-called "eagle to open their mouths" when they grow up with minced meat, even if they are obedient, they will be considered "stolen". (To be continued)
