1405: Jim's Preliminary Findings (Plus)

When the square is built... Ha, now Du Zhaoji's square has just started construction, some of the original houses have been demolished, and the foundation has been dug.

Whether it is Xia Xiaolan or Mao Kangshan's design, underground parking is necessary, the difference is only in the number of underground floors.

Xia Xiaolan is not worried that the electronic plaza will not be completed within this year. As for the star project, there is no shortage of funds and manpower. The preliminary preparations are in place. The speed of building a building can really reach one floor in two days. This is how "Pengcheng Speed" came. Yes, the main body should be built first, the electronic market will be revitalized first, and other ancillary facilities can be built slowly.

Xia Xiaolan also stressed to Du Zhaohui that she did not complete the design alone.

Daisy and Richard and Lyle, all three of them sweated.

Ning Xue felt that Xia Xiaolan could play by herself, and she didn't need to take the three of Daisy... Xia Xiaolan felt that it was easier to do so. She valued efficiency, not the difference between winning the award alone or in the name of the group.

Maybe this is the reason why she and Ning Xue have countless opportunities to be friends, but they are always so bad.

The ideas of the two are very different, how can they play happily?

No, she and the team handed in the design early, so she can relax and relax.

The pressure is high, and the process of working with everyone is generally very pleasant.

Daisy recently followed Xia Xiaolan's suggested list of diets, and her acne actually improved a lot.

The acne scars are still there, no new acne scars.

What a surprise for Daisy!

Xia Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief just after submitting her work. In New York, there is another Chinese student party in preparation.

It is said that this party is only to welcome a female student.

Ning Xue was interrupted by someone from her reclusive state:

"must go?"

And forcing them, Chinese students in New York, to go to parties?

If it weren't for the fact that there was no emperor in China, Xia Xiaolan would have suspected that she was going to greet the princess.

"I don't even know who it is!"

Ning Xue thought she was well informed? What a joke, Ning Xue has been immersed in design recently, and she is also immersed in perfecting the works she has handed in. Who knows what big figures have come to the international student circle in New York.

"Then are you going?"

Xia Xiaolan thought for a while, "Come on, Senior Sister Xiang and the others are so enthusiastic, they just have time to see what tricks they play."

The translation of this sentence means that Xia Xiaolan has just finished the work, and she is so tired that she wants to watch the monkey show... It's really boring, but Ning Xue has a similar idea.

The work has been handed in, and the award is due on April 20th. There are still a few days left. After so many days of work, it is quite empty to relax all of a sudden.

"You bought a car, right? Can I take your car? I'll pay half the gas bill."

Ning Xue obviously likes the aa method on the American side, and no one takes advantage of the other, which is in line with her idea of ​​advocating simple social interaction.

Xia Xiaolan is also not polite to her. People want money, but she insists on a treat. Is it money?

It’s okay to go to New York. Xu Jing and Ma Hai told her the address of her new residence. Xia Xiaolan went back to Ithaca and didn’t go there once.

With her $60,000 investment, has there been any progress in the past two weeks?

But before Xia Xiaolan went to the party, detective Jim, who went to San Francisco to investigate the whereabouts of Xu Zhongyi's family of three, gave Xia Xiaolan an echo.

"It's a bit complicated. I've turned back from San Francisco now, and I'm in Washington. When I get to Ithaca to meet you in detail."

Xia Xiaolan couldn't help but ask:

"Is there news of Xu Zhongyi's family?"

"Yes!"

There is news.

Grandma Yu waited for so many years, and got her news within two months of arriving in the United States?

Things went smoothly!

"Bah, don't have the idea of ​​a crow's mouth. This only means that professional things should be left to professional people. The detective introduced by Wen Manni is indeed very powerful."

Xia Xiaolan talked to herself to convince herself.

She was still a little uneasy in her heart. If it was good news, Jim would tell her directly on the phone, why was it so mysterious.

Xia Xiaolan waited for Jim for a long time, he went from Washington to Ithaca.

The two still made an appointment to meet in the shop last time. Xia Xiaolan arrived first, and Jim arrived later with a large bag.

Xia Xiaolan pointed to the doughnut on the table: "I ordered it according to your last taste, I hope you hope."

Donuts dipped in chocolate sauce and covered with a thick layer of maple sugar are Jim's favorite, but at this time, he can only refuse, at least he should show enough professionalism before getting down to business.

"Thank you, you are too sweet, and the news I brought you is not so good."

Jim said, and took out a document from his bag.

This is a copy, as well as a death certificate signed by the San Francisco Police Department in May 1967.

"...The remains of a young male with unrecognizable physical features were found at the fire scene, about 30 years old, and no family members claimed the body."

Xia Xiaolan's heart was pounding and her voice was dry:

"Do you think the burned body of a man beyond recognition is Xu Zhongyi?"

Jim nodded, "According to the postmark of the envelope, I turned over the entire area, inquired about the old local residents, and asked local detective friends for help, and then I screened out this old case. The time can be right, age

Not bad, which can also explain why the person you are looking for has never returned to China to pick up the family. "

Can't take it.

According to the information provided by Xia Xiaolan, Xu Zhongyi arrived in the United States in 1966, and then sent the letter to the family.

And Xu Zhongyi's family in China, for various reasons, did not see the letter to the family until 1968... After 20 years, they have been waiting for Xu Zhongyi to return to China, but they did not know that Xu Zhongyi had died in a fire, how could it be possible to return to China?

Xia Xiaolan held the copy:

"Jim, I still don't believe it. No matter emotionally or intellectually, the evidence is not enough. If Xu Zhongyi was the one who died in the fire, where are his wife and son who were with him? It is impossible for his wife and children not to claim his body!"

This is one of them!

Another point, if Xu Zhongyi died in a fire, was it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Xia Xiaolan is waiting for Jim to solve her puzzles!

Jim resists the tantalizing aroma of donuts:

"Hey, I can understand your feelings, but according to my investigation, this man's corpse was found in the house where the Xu family of three rented at the time. Someone might have gone to find out about Xu, but they found the wrong address. The postmark on the envelope was half a block away from the house Xu rented at the time. After the fire, Xu's wife and son disappeared. I suspect that their family was targeted by local gangsters because they carried a lot of property. Let the gang loot first and then set the fire... After the fire, the landlord also felt very unlucky, he redecorated the house, and he did not allow the neighbors to talk about it."
