That Year Flowers Bloomed 1981

This is an era where getting into college means soaring to great heights, an era where opportunities abound for rapid success, and also an era where genuine, unwavering emotions still exist;

Chapter 528 They still thought it was forty years ago!

Chapter 528 They still thought it was forty years ago!

Wang Jianqiang chose the 24th day of the second lunar month, which was the 13th day of the fourth lunar month, a Saturday, to get engaged.

The next day was Sunday, and Peking University students and teachers had a holiday.

The police arrived at Beijing University, and Li Ye was naturally not in the dormitory. He finally found the counselor, then Sun Xianjin, and then Wen Leyu.

So by the time Li Ye and his grandfather Shi Shiran returned to Peking University, it was already past lunchtime.

When he arrived at the school's security office, Li Ye found that there were several school security personnel and teachers inside, as well as two uniformed police officers and three outsiders.

The three outsiders were all wearing suits. Two of them looked at Li Ye unfriendly, while the other one looked like a translator.

In addition, Zhang Zhiqiang, the counselor of the Class 82 World Economics major, was also present.

When Zhang Zhiqiang saw Li Ye, he immediately said, "Student Li Ye, these two police officers want to find you to understand some situations. You need to answer truthfully but don't be nervous. They just want to understand the situation."

Li Ye smiled and nodded, "I understand, Mr. Zhang. I'm sorry to trouble you on this Sunday."

Zhang Zhiqiang also smiled: "What kind of trouble is this? You are the most worry-free student in the class. If you don't bother me again, I will doubt whether I am still useful as a counselor."

“.”

Zhang Zhiqiang is Li Ye's counselor, but the two have had little interaction in the past two years, because the class teacher Mu Yuning has basically handled all of Li Ye's affairs, leaving Zhang Zhiqiang seemingly without any place to use his skills.

However, today Zhang Zhiqiang spoke to Li Ye first and reminded him right away that "it's just a simple understanding of the situation," and it was obvious that he was also doing his duty to protect his son.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang."

"It's okay. Everyone in the school is here. Please sit down!"

Zhang Zhiqiang patted Li Ye on the shoulder and pointed to a chair for him to sit down.

Li Ye looked at the position of the chair, which was facing the two men in uniform, and realized that the other party was deliberately creating pressure.

It’s a pity that this kind of pressure is useful for ordinary students, but not for Li Yemao.

But before Li Ye sat down, he saw the two men in suits mumbling a few words in Japanese, and then the translator asked Li Zhongfa: "Old comrade, who are you?"

Li Zhongfa said calmly, "I am Li Ye's grandfather. I happened to be here to spend Sunday with the child, so I came to sit in on the class."

As soon as Li Zhong finished speaking, the translator said impatiently: "Then please go out for a while and don't disturb our conversation."

“.”

The translator's tone was quite impolite, which stunned Li Zhongfa and Li Ye. Even the counselor Zhang Zhiqiang frowned.

Li Zhongfa is okay, as he has been the director for many years and never shows his emotions. But Li Ye is young and energetic and will not tolerate his bad habits.

"May I ask who you are?"

"Are you asking me?"

"Nonsense, aren't you asking me or the dog?"

“.”

Li Ye's words shocked everyone in the security department.

This young man's tone is too aggressive.

However, the two uniformed personnel and the school teachers did not immediately scold Li Ye for being impolite.

Because in this security department, it is not the turn of an interpreter to give orders.

This is Peking University, a vice-ministerial unit. What's so great about you as a translator working for a foreign company?

Li Ye also saw through this.

Because if the other party is an interpreter sent by a government agency in the mainland, he will definitely not be disrespectful and look down on Peking University.

Several people in this room are at the section or deputy director level. Is it your turn to speak first?

So the other party is just a person who got a high salary in a foreign company and became arrogant and thought he was a superior person. It’s no big deal if you say a few words to him.

"You've gone too far. I'm going to find your teacher and tell you. I want to."

After the other party reacted, he immediately became extremely angry. It was obvious that he might have suffered similar bullying in the past.

But the translator was angry, but Li Ye calmed down and said, "Don't be so excited. I want to ask you, who are you? Why are you in this room? If you are here, won't it affect the police's inquiry?"

"I am Mr. Nakamura Hiroo's translator. Mr. Nakamura's son is missing, and you are a major suspect. Mr. Nakamura has the right to know the latest case details and the right to question you?"

"You are wrong. No matter which foreign guest you are, you have no right to directly intervene in a case in the mainland, nor do you have the right to question a mainland citizen. In this land, only mainland agencies have the power to enforce the law, so the most you can do is to listen in."

“.”

When Li Ye said this, he had been quietly observing the expressions and reactions of the other people in the Security Department.

The reason why he acted so aggressively was not because he was being silly, nor because he simply disliked the translator's tone, but more importantly, it was a test.

Old Song was taken away last night. Li Ye didn't know what Old Song had done, nor did he know whether Old Song had "confessed" or not. So he couldn't be sure what the situation was today.

If Lao Song had not only done it but also confessed, then the two investigators probably wouldn't be so friendly today. After all, Li Ye has a close relationship with Lao Song, and it would only take a moment for him to be implicated.

But after he had been arguing with the interpreter for half a minute, the two men in uniform did not scold him harshly. One of the younger comrades even had a smile on his face.

[He is still laughing. Isn't this a "deadline for solving the case"? ]

In the big city of Beijing, where "if you haven't lost your bicycle, you are not considered a Beijinger", the rumor that a lost bicycle can be found on the same day has been circulating for many years.

So when Li Ye came here today, he was mentally prepared to be caught and search for clues to death, but looking at the current situation, why does it seem like it's just a "formality"?

The young comrade laughed, but the other investigator was very dignified and shouted sternly: "Stop arguing, please keep quiet and don't affect our understanding of the situation."

Li Zhongfa immediately found a place to sit down. The old comrade certainly understood that since they did not drive him out, they were already on his side in the argument between Li Ye and the translator.

The angry translator wanted to say something, but the uniformed officer pointed to a chair and said to Li Ye: "Please take a seat, classmate. We will ask a few questions and it will be over soon."

Li Ye nodded and sat down.

"According to Mr. Hiroo Nakamura, when you were in school, Li Ye, you had conflicts with Naoto Nakamura many times, right?"

"It's not a conflict, it's an academic debate. He thinks the Japanese are stronger than us, and I think we are stronger than them. There were many people present when we were arguing, and they can prove that we didn't have any conflict."

The investigator continued without even looking up: "According to our investigation, on March 4th of this year, which was the 13th day of the first lunar month, you met Naoto Nakamura at the foreign language training class at the zoo. What did you talk about with him at that time?"

Li Ye told the truth: "We didn't say anything. After graduation, Nakamura seemed to have become a big boss and looked down on poor students like us. I vaguely remember that day he looked down on us."

"Then why did you show up at the training class?"

"I have a classmate who works part-time in the training class, and a fellow villager seems to be helping out in the training class. I happened to pass by that day, so I went in and chatted with them."

"Just passing by? Where were you going?"

"I made an appointment with two classmates to go to the zoo to play photography that day."

"Why do you remember this so clearly, something that happened nearly two months ago?"

"Oh, visiting the zoo with two girls, this kind of wonderful memory is not easy to forget."

Li Ye answered the investigators' questions calmly, but he was a little confused. Why didn't they ask about his relationship with Lao Song? He had just mentioned the topic of "fellow villager"?

The most dangerous suspect is not questioned? Why?

However, when Li Ye was thinking about this question, the investigator suddenly asked: "Student Li Ye, according to Mr. Nakamura Hiroo, your grandfather is a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War and has a strong hatred for the Japanese. Is that true?"

“.”

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and his calm expression gradually became gloomy.

"My grandfather is indeed a veteran of the war of resistance against Japanese aggression, and I have watched many war movies since I was a child. If this can be used as evidence of suspicion, then it is better for them not to set foot on this land, because there are too many people like me."

“.”

The young investigator glanced at Li Ye, then lowered his head and wrote something quickly, but that look seemed to be warning Li Ye to calm down and not talk too much.

The investigator who was questioning the case paused for a moment before continuing, "Have you seen Naoto Nakamura again since March 4th?"

“No.”

"You really haven't seen it?"

"Yes, I really haven't seen it."

“.”

The following questions were all meaningless. During the entire interrogation, the translator kept talking to Hiroo Nakamura, and Hiroo Nakamura kept urging him for something, making the translator very anxious.

Ten minutes later, the two investigators closed the notebook and the interrogation process ended.

The translator immediately said anxiously: "Comrades, how could it end so hastily? This Li Ye is the last eyewitness of Master Nakamura.

Moreover, he and his family clearly have a deep hatred for the Japanese, so he is highly suspected."

"Ahem~"

Li Zhongfa, who had been silent the whole time, stood up and said coldly, "If what you said is true, then there are too many suspects. I had a company of 130 people back then, but only 17 of them survived until the end of the war."

The translator was about to speak impatiently, but Li Zhongfa continued, "Also, I know that there are at least tens of thousands of people like me in the capital. How about I take you to those retirement homes to look for suspects?"

“.”

"If I can't find it in the retirement home, that's going to be difficult, because I can't get into other places because I'm not qualified enough!"

“.”

The translator stopped talking. His IQ was not low, so how could he not understand what Li Zhongfa meant?

Those who fought with Xiaozi for their lives are still alive! And many of them are still in position. You are judging the suspects based on this. Are you crazy?

The translator hesitated for a moment, but still translated Li Zhongfa's words to Naoto Nakamura's father, Hiroo Nakamura.

Then, Nakamura Hiroo's expression became very interesting. After a long time, he suddenly walked out and bowed to Li Zhongfa, very politely.

"I'm sorry, old man. For the sake of an old man who has lost his son, please forgive our abruptness."

Li Zhongfa remained silent and didn't even nod his head, which was not polite at all.

Hiroo Nakamura asked his secretary to take out a few business cards and handed them to Li Ye and several Kyoto University teachers present.

"In order not to affect our friendship, for the sake of our friendship, please find Aizi. Please."

Hiroo Nakamura bowed to everyone around him with a very sincere tone, but it sounded awkward to people.

Li Ye took the business card and glanced at it. There were Chinese characters on it - Yokobin Nakamura Co., Ltd., Vice President Nakamura Hiroo.

He's just a president, and a vice president at that, and he dares to talk about friendship?

The people from Kyoto University were still very polite. After the questioning, they invited Nakamura, Li Zhongfa and others to have dinner in the cafeteria, but Nakamura and Li Zhongfa both refused.

After the two of them left the school, Li Ye said carefully, "Grandpa, you're not angry, are you? I told you it's nothing serious, you don't have to come."

Just now when Li Zhongfa said "only 17 are left out of the 130 people", Li Ye was really afraid that his grandfather would get angry and hit Nakamura Hiroo.

"Angry? Do you think I came with you today just to get mad?"

Li Zhongfa smiled and said, "I was afraid that you were too young to understand the system's rules, so I followed you here to listen."

“.”

Li Ye was stunned. He didn't expect his grandfather to have similar thoughts, so he smiled and asked, "Grandpa, did you hear anything?"

"I can tell a little bit," Li Zhongfa said calmly, "This isn't a major case. It's just like finding a bicycle.

Those little guys are so self-righteous that they want to force the public security department and Beijing University to help them find their children! Who cares about them! "

“.”

"Forcing Jingda to help them find someone?"

Li Ye also realized that it was not a big case, but he didn't really think about it in the direction Li Zhongfa said.

Li Zhongfa glanced at his grandson and said proudly, "Xiao Ye, you are smart, but you have too little experience in the field. I can guess what the investigators are thinking just by looking at their attitudes and listening to the way and order in which they ask questions."

Li Ye quickly said, "Grandpa, what do you think they are thinking?"

Li Zhongfa said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether Nakamura Naoto is missing or not. What matters is where he disappeared. His company is in Pengcheng, so who knows if he has returned to Pengcheng in the past two months?"

"If it is confirmed that he disappeared in the capital, then the matter is not so simple. We need to find him alive or dead. It will be very troublesome."

"Jingda understands this matter. Your counselor pointed it out to you as soon as you entered the door, and the case officers also understand it."

"So that's why! It's useless no matter how anxious those little guys are. Unfortunately, they still have the old way of thinking. They think that just because they put a random accusation on you, you have to rush to help them find someone, without even considering your own level."

"These are all old tricks from forty years ago. Do you have the nerve to bring them out again? You are just daydreaming."

“.”

Li Ye swallowed and finally understood why no one asked him about Lao Song.

He also had to admire Li Zhongfa's experience. He still had a lot to learn in the future.

And these things will not be recorded in textbooks.
