Chapter 168 Deliberately erased
"No such person?"
Fan Qingyi was stunned, looking at the return stamp on the letter, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, this must be a mistake."
She took the letter and pointed to the address on it to show the comrade on duty.
"This address is the unit where my husband serves. He has been a soldier for ten years. He has sent many letters to and from this address. It is absolutely impossible that
there is no such person. Comrade, can you help me take a look again..." "You female comrade, why don't you listen? There is no such person!"
The comrade on duty frowned and looked at Fan Qingyi with a strange look, "Your husband has been a soldier for ten years, and you can even get the address wrong."
"It's this address, I remember it correctly, if you don't believe it, you can check the correspondence records of these years, and there are, and there are..."
Fan Qingyi's mind was blank, and the news that Li Wenfeng did not find this person made her strong strength these days crack.
The social phobia hidden deep inside suddenly burst out.
She panicked like a headless fly, running around frantically, but couldn't find an exit to rush out.
Her face was visibly pale, and her hands couldn't stop shaking.
"Mom..."
Li Liuli grabbed her hand, looked into Fan Qingyi's terrified eyes, and squeezed it hard.
"Mom!"
[Mom! No such person can explain anything, but it is possible that the mission Dad sent out is very dangerous, and we can't let outsiders find out about him. Don't be afraid, Mom...] Li Shanhu stretched her neck out and roared in the basket.
Li Zhenzhu also noticed Fan Qingyi's fear, and her eyes were filled with panic.
She raised her hand to grab the corner of Fan Qingyi's clothes, looking up at her silently.
The reactions of the three children made Fan Qingyi come back to his senses.
She subconsciously comforted the three children first, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, maybe mom remembered the wrong address, your father is still in the army, he won't be lost..."
The comrade on duty saw the mother and daughter like this and sighed.
"Go back and ask your family for the specific address. Your lover is definitely not here."
Fan Qingyi took a deep breath, suppressed the panic and fear, raised his head and looked at the comrade on duty, "Can you help me check the records of Li Wenfeng's mailed packages in the past few years? There should be the address of his unit on it."
"This..."
The comrade on duty frowned and looked at the place where the records were stored. There were so many records that he didn't want to check.
"... it'll be faster if you go back and ask your family..."
Fan Qingyi forced a smile, "Comrade, I was forced out by my in-laws, they... wouldn't tell me."
The comrade on duty sighed, with sympathy on his face.
He raised his eyes to the empty inquiry desk, hesitated for a moment, and sighed in agreement.
"Okay, I'll be a good person today, you wait, I'll go look for it."
"Hey, thank you comrade." Fan Qingyi thanked him repeatedly.
The comrade on duty waved his hand and strode in to take notes.
The mother and daughter stood at the vent of the door and waited for more than two hours before the comrade on duty came out dejectedly.
"Comrade..."
The comrade on duty waved his hand, "There is no such person. I checked the records of the past three years, and no Li Wenfeng has sent any parcels or letters to our Shuizhai Town. Did you... remember it wrong..."
Before he finished speaking, the comrade on duty frowned and stopped talking.
How could a man who has been a soldier for ten years and has a wife and children at home not send things home? !
Even if the address is wrong, as long as he has sent it home, the other party's name should be on the record.
But it's very strange. He checked all the surnames of Li according to the radicals, but there was no name of Li Wenfeng.
He hesitated and asked Fan Qingyi, "Did your wife... use other characters in the army?"
Fan Qingyi shook his head.
"It's Li Wenfeng. His name is a kind of medicinal material. It can't be written as anything else."
She had seen the letter that Brother Wenfeng sent home. The name was definitely correct. It was just the two words Wenfeng.
The comrade on duty finally gave up. He looked at Fan Qingyi with pity.
"Sister-in-law, there is indeed no record of Li Wenfeng's mailing in the register, whether it is letters, parcels or... money."
"How is this possible?"
Fan Qingyi looked at a loss. She looked down at Li Liuli and Li Zhenzhu.
"You have seen the letter your father sent back. It's your father's name. It's correct, right?"
Li Zhenzhu looked at Li Liuli.
Li Liuli pursed her lips and nodded, "Uncle, my dad would send letters home every year, and would also buy some local specialties from Beijing and send them to us. He would collect money once and bring it back once during his vacation. It's been many years, we won't remember it wrong."
Seeing that the mother and daughter didn't believe him, the comrade on duty frowned and wanted to get angry, but seeing Fan Qingyi carrying the two older children and the younger one on his back, he couldn't bear it.
He snorted, "I'm afraid of you, just wait."
He turned around and walked in. After a while, he held three thick record books and put them on the counter.
"Look for yourselves, is there a person named Li Wenfeng in the column of the surname Li?"
The mother and daughter looked at each other, and tacitly, each of them lowered their heads and began to look through the books.
Li Liuli was the first to finish searching. She frowned as she pressed the place where Li Wenfeng's name should appear.
Fan Qingyi was a step slower, and Li Zhenzhu was the last.
None of the three found Li Wenfeng's name.
The comrade on duty spread his hands, "See, I didn't lie to you, there really isn't any."
Fan Qingyi's eyes went dark. How could this happen?
She looked at Li Shanhu in the basket in panic.
Li Shanhu was also confused, [What's going on? Even if my dad is really dead, the record of sending the things should be there, how come I can't even find the name? ]
Yes, why?
Fan Qingyi also wanted to know.
"Mom, don't worry."
Li Liuli grabbed Fan Qingyi's hand and said in a low voice under the counter, "Dad's mailing records may have been...deliberately erased by someone."
Fan Qingyi's eyes moved suddenly and he looked at Li Liuli.
"Ali?"
Li Liuli dragged the notebook down and pointed to the place where Li Wenfeng should appear to show her.
"The paper and ink marks here are not right."
Fan Qingyi stared at the place where Li Liuli pointed, and the next second, he dragged down the book he was checking and showed it to his eldest daughter.
Li Liuli's reddish fingertips slid across the notebook, stopped at a certain place, and looked up at Fan Qingyi.
Fan Qingyi's lips trembled slightly, and he raised his hand to take down the other one.
As soon as his hand moved, the notebook appeared in front of him.
It was Li Zhenzhu who found something unusual and dragged it down.
"Mom, big sister."
Li Liuli looked at Li Zhenzhu with admiration, flipped the pages quickly, stopped at a certain page, stroked the paper, and turned the page to show Fan Qingyi and Li Zhenzhu.
The pages were well processed, and it was almost impossible to tell what was different.
Fan Qingyi really couldn't tell.
Li Zhenzhu also looked confused, and only Li Liuli could figure it out.
Her voice was extremely calm, "This page of paper has been replaced, and the name on it was written later. The dryness and penetration of the ink are different from other pages..." "
...How dangerous is the mission that requires erasing all traces of your father's existence?"
Fan Qingyi murmured.
