As soon as Mr. Fang Yan finished saying "Zaiwei" (Shanghai dialect: goodbye), he stopped me and said, "Xiao Linzi, what's your grandfather's name? I should be about the same age as him, maybe I know him."

I was covered in cold sweat, thinking to myself that my grandfather is an authentic Shandong native. How could he have any contact with you? I couldn’t make up a name for a while, so I could only laugh and say: “Grandpa Fang, after so many years, you still remember that time.

Little friend?"

Mr. Fang Yan stroked his gray beard and said: "When you get older, you always miss the past. At that time, I played with the children in Lin's house. Of course I remember their names. I also remember the things we chased together in those years.

There’s a girl!” (That’s not what I said at the time, just a little time travel, don’t mind)

I was happy as soon as I heard it, and I was holding Haha: "Grandpa Fang would not be a rival with my grandpa before? Then I have to run away quickly, so as not to be fat."

Mr. Fang also smiled and said, "I don't know. But that girl impressed me the most."

"She's a beautiful woman?" I asked casually with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Lin Yinru." Mr. Fang said the name of the girl he had a crush on in the past, and he seemed to be a little "shy" on his face.

But I was directly knocked to the ground by a bright thunder, and said in a trembling voice: "What? What is that girl's name?"

"Lin Yinru. Zhao Kuangyin's Yin, this word is hard to recognize. Why, did your grandfather mention this name?"

I was covered in cold sweat and couldn't hear what he said at all. I guess, this is a bit high! Lin Yinru? Could it be the old lady Yin in the organization? She is also from the Lin family home? No wonder

When Mrs. Yin heard the three words "Lin Family House" before, her facial expression reacted so greatly!

At this time, I had already thought of the name "Grandpa" and when I said it, Mr. Fang shook his head and said he didn't recognize it. After a few more pleasantries, I thanked him and said goodbye, and ran to the West Palace.

The distance between Caoyang Park and the West Shanghai Workers' Cultural Palace is very close, so I left the car on the roadside and walked there. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the West Palace, I saw an old lady selling a map of the West Palace. The West Palace is not that big, so what map do I need?

? It's obviously a scam. So I never bought one. But this time I didn't hesitate to pay for one. The aunt took the money and muttered happily: "The countryside is peaceful." (Shanghai dialect)

:country folk)

I was a little unhappy at that moment, but I didn't bother to pay attention to it. I opened the map and looked carefully. The lake in the West Palace is shaped like a key, and there are no irregularities.

By the way, I have been to Xigong so many times before, and I have never found anything "irregular" about this lake... Could it be that Mr. Fang Yan lied to me?

The reason why I want to go to the park to find someone to ask questions is not only that there are many elderly people there, but also the reason is to expand the uncertainty of the target of the interview. This avoids the need for someone to follow up and investigate, and then install an NPC to guard there.

Give me some false information. I picked up the old dialect man randomly from the road, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.

In this way, there is only one explanation: when the lake was originally dug, its shape was irregular, but now it has been neatly repaired... After the renaming of Nanshi District and Huqingping Highway and the collapse of Kangcheng

After the Hai incident, I am no longer surprised by the changes that terrain and place names have experienced over the years.

My attention was attracted by a large green area on the southeast side of the artificial lake in the middle of the map. I have been to the West Palace many times, but this area clearly seemed to me to be a group of buildings.

Yes, it seems to be a KTV or a boutique... Why is there grassland on this map?

I suddenly woke up and quickly turned around to look. The old aunt who sold me the map was already walking away quickly. I ran up a few steps, stopped her, startled her, and said in a trembling voice: "Non... please...

Group what?"

I said in Shanghainese dialect with a not very standard pronunciation: "Nongma'egezadi pronunciation Laye youma'e?" (What year is the map you are selling?)

When this old lady saw that I could speak Shanghainese, she knew that I could understand the phrase "Xiang Wu Ning" that I just said about getting a bargain and being nice. She immediately blushed and hesitated: "Uh, September 2003..."

"

"How can you read Ma Gajiu's forehead?" (How can you sell such an old map?) I said reluctantly.

"My husband bought a batch at that time, but couldn't sell it. He has been selling it to this day... Besides, this place hasn't changed much. It doesn't matter if the map is older." (Note: At that time, this aunt also spoke Shanghainese.

It’s just too long, so I won’t write the original words.)

I pretended to be angry and said: "Forget it, you go!" After saying that, I turned around and walked towards the green place on the map.

Sure enough, this place is no longer a grassland, but a mass-market KTV called "Theme Song City". I walked in, walked around leisurely, and saw that the company name written on the license was "Shanghai

"Jim Reed Entertainment Co., Ltd." I muttered it twice. It seemed that it sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a moment. So I asked the waiter: "When did our store open? Why haven't you seen it before?"

"

"You haven't been here for several years, sir," the waitress in sexy black stockings replied politely, "our store was opened in 2003."

I said "Oh", pretending to be surprised, and said: "That's not right. I've been to Xigong once in September 2003. It's still a grassland. I've never seen your KTV."

ah?"

The waitress smiled like a flower and whispered: "Sir, you have a very good memory. But in our place, the foundation is shallow, so we built it quickly. It was built in less than three months."

I was surprised and said: "Three months? Shallow foundation? Why did you build the building like this? Are you not afraid of the building collapsing?"

The waitress smiled a little stiffly and said, "I don't know about this..."

Judging from the smiling face of the waitress, she guessed that I had no intention of spending money and was deliberately looking for trouble here. She started to curse the crazy person in my heart, so I said goodbye and left.

Without laying a foundation, how could the design blueprint of this construction project be made? How could it pass the project quality inspection? I walked south in confusion, and suddenly, a familiar forest appeared in front of me.

That's right, this is the woods where I hid last time when I followed Chen Ziqi's blue M6 to the West Palace and stole their nanny's bicycle. So, if you go further south, it's Chen Ziqi's

A villa.

Suddenly, I was "shocked" and remembered the information about Chen Ziqi's villa that I had seen in the Shanghai Urban Construction Archives before. The land under the villa was not a square rectangle or square, but a "convex"

"Shape, this protruding part is located just on the north side of the villa, pointing towards the woods.

I was so shocked that I ran out. I didn’t have time to drive my car, so I just called a taxi and went straight to the Shanghai Library at No. 1555 Huaihai Middle Road.

I hurriedly applied for a reader's card, and then I dived into the bookshelf with various maps and browsed around. The maps here are very complete. There are maps of Shanghai every year, or even every time it is updated. The maps are updated with the city.

Construction and development are constantly updated, and the old maps stored here record every step of Shanghai's development.

I turned to the 1998 map of Shanghai and compared it with the 1997 map. Sure enough, on the 1997 map, the grassland on the southeast side of the lake in the West Shanghai Workers' Cultural Palace still showed a blue lake area;

In 1998, the lake was filled with earth and rocks and turned into a grassland. I found a map from early 2004, and the KTV was already painted on the land.

And 1998 was the year that Chen Ziqi's villa was built.

From this point of view, Mr. Dialect did not deceive me. When the West Palace was built in 1959, the shape of the lake in the middle has almost changed today. Could it be that the initiator of the "lake reclamation" in 1998 was Chen Ziqi?

"Reclamation of lakes and land" in a place like West Palace must go through several administrative approvals. For example, the manager of West Palace, the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, will definitely need approval; it may also need to be submitted to the Shanghai Municipal Government for approval, which is extremely complicated.

It is cumbersome, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels must be managed. But it depends on people. With Chen Ziqi's ability, it is not impossible to deal with just a few people in charge.

All in all, I think there must be some relationship between the "land reclamation from the lake" in 1998 and Chen Ziqi's construction of a villa in the West Palace. In addition, the shape of the land under his villa, the strange protruding part, and

The woods and the land occupied by the "Theme Song City" KTV are all in a straight line, which makes me feel that this matter is not that simple.

I remembered again that when I entered Chen Ziqi's villa that day, I was dragged into a secret room by the beautiful woman named Yu Xin. I accidentally discovered that there was a very old box inside, which was locked tightly and could not be opened. At that time, I

I suspected that this box might be the entrance to an underground secret room. Now it seems that it is not just an underground secret room, it is more likely that there is a passage under the woods or even the filled-in plot of land.

Things are connected to the secret room in Chen Ziqi's house - if this is the case, it would make sense that the KTV did not have a deep foundation. Because if the foundation was deep, it would affect the things underground.

However, unless this KTV belongs to Chen Ziqi, which boss would not lay a solid foundation for his building?

Wait, I remember that the operating license hanging in the KTV hall said... The company that opened this KTV was called "Jim Reed Entertainment".

Huh? I once saw Chen Ziqi's business card at Cao Bin's in Lugong Postal Market, and it did say "Shanghai Jim Reed Entertainment Co., Ltd., Chairman".
