Chapter 68: This is Destiny

April 30. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

On the way to work, Eugene's mood relaxed slightly. Tomorrow is the holiday, how to arrange the May Day holiday? Do you go to your mother's house to pick up your son and take him to the zoo to see the giant pandas he has always wanted to see? Or go to the hospital to see her husband who is hospitalized?

She thought about it all the way, but she didn't think about it. Seeing that she was about to reach the carport, she slowed down, then braked, and stopped.

When Eugene Lan parked the electric car and turned around to get out of the carport, he found a man with a yellow complexion and a black face with an exaggerated beard blocking the door of the carport playing with his mobile phone.

"Borrowed. Eugene said politely.

The beard moved slightly, but didn't get out of the way: "Are you Eugeneland?"

Eugene Lan looked at each other vigilantly: "Who are you?"

The man smiled, as if he had a cold, and spoke in a buzzing nasal voice, "My surname is Dai, and this is my business card." ”

Eugene Lan took it and looked at it, "UBM Investigative Company, Dai Tian." ”

She looked at the business card over and over for a while, and then gave it back to Dai Tian, "I don't know you, why are you looking for me?"

Dai Tian smiled weirdly, "Don't worry, I'm not a liar." ”

Eugene Lan looked at Dai Tian, a jacket, jeans, and sneakers, looking similar to the common couriers in the community. She looked displeased, "Whether you're a liar or not, how do you know I'm here?"

"I went to your unit to look for you, and they said you were home. Dai Tian said unhurriedly, with a shrewdness in his eyes.

When You Jinlan heard him say this, her expression suddenly changed: "How do you know where I work?" The more she thought about it, the more nervous she became, and she subconsciously took out her mobile phone and prepared to call the police.

Dai Tian stepped forward and said, "I'm here for your daughter." ”

"What did you say?" Eugene Lan was shocked, and his voice became sharp: "If you talk nonsense again, I will call the police immediately." ”

Dai Tian sighed, he took off the backpack behind his back, took out two photos from the bag, and handed them to her, "You read it and decide whether to call the police or not." ”

Eugene took the photo tremblingly. In the first photograph, a young girl with a round face like an apple smiles sweetly, she is about eighteen or nineteen years old, her black hair is tied into a ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead, and on the right cheek, there is a small pear vortex with a clear pear.

And when Eugene Lan saw the second photo, her whole body trembled, and her eyes were immediately filled with tears. It was a little baby who had just turned 100 days old, with only a few fine and soft fetal hairs on his head, and a pear vortex could be faintly seen on his small face. On the back of the photo, there is a line of small print: 100 days commemoration, April 10, 1996.

Eugene Lan clutched the photo tightly, almost using all her strength, so that she did not scream and cry. When she finally calmed down a little, she immediately asked, "How did you get these pictures?"

Dai Tian took a step back and leaned on the pillar of the carport, "This is not important, since I am a private detective, I naturally have a way." ”

"Who's the first one?" asked Eugene Land, who was silent for a moment.

Dai Tian scratched his chin and grinned, "Why do you knowingly ask?"

"I don't know who she is. Eugene Lan whispered.

Dai Tian smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you." The girl in the first photo is named Ye Yingjun, her adoptive father is rich, she has the surname of her adoptive mother, and she is nineteen years old this year. He paused, looked at Eugene Lan's shocked face, and continued, "Ye Yingjun's adoptive father is a small bag foreman, and his adoptive mother runs a bookstore. Ye Yingjun dropped out of high school before finishing it, and then stayed at home to help her adoptive mother look after the store. Later, the bookstore was in a recession, so it was closed. Then, she went to a Japanese KTV called 'Matsunosato' and worked as a waitress. By the way, she has always been single and has never had a boyfriend yet. ”

Eugene's face changed and changed, and he didn't speak. I don't know when, she has quietly put away her phone, just pinching the two photos in a daze.

Dai Tian saw that she was still silent, so he continued: "Ye Yingjun has a pear vortex on the right side of her face, and a small palm-like birthmark on her left buttocks, she is AB blood type, and her date of birth is January 2, 1996. Oh, and also, she's allergic to penicillin. ”

Eugene Lan lowered her head, wiped her tears, and said nothing.

"Ye Yingjun's adoptive father is infertile. So, in 1996, when he heard that a girl had been born in the next village, but the family didn't want a daughter, he asked someone to ask for the child. Later, the two of them moved from the countryside to the city, and gradually cut off contact with their former neighbors. Dai Tian stared at Eugene Lan: "Whether you admit it or not, you are Ye Yingjun's biological mother!"

Eugene squatted down and began to cry. Dai Tian glanced outside, but fortunately, no one came over for the time being, and no one noticed them.

Eugene cried for a while before she gradually quieted down. She took the tissue that Dai Tian handed her and wiped her eyes and nose, "Did she ask you to come to me?"

Dai Tian thought for a moment, "In a sense, so to speak. ”

Eugene Lan let out a long sigh: "Then, Detective Dai, let's talk to my house." ”

Dai Tian smiled: "Don't be so polite, just call me Dai Tian." ”

The building where Eugene lives is a typical "dilapidated building", and Dai Tian has visually observed that this residential building is at least 30 years old. The mottled faΓ§ade was blackened by the smoke of the kitchen, and the original color was no longer visible. Waste collectors push tricycles slowly down the alleys, flicking the rattle on the handlebars from time to time. The jingling of bells and the sound of water washing clothes, mixed with the sounds of talking and arguing in various accents, are intertwined.

While skillfully avoiding the stagnant water on the ground, Eugene Lan guided Dai Tian: "Go this way." Dai Tian helped his black-rimmed glasses and followed Eugene with some difficulty.

"It's the old town, the environment is not very good. Eugene Lan was a little cramped.

"It's fine. Dai Tian replied.

Finally arrived at Eugene Lan's house, and as soon as Dai Tian's tall body entered, the small living room was crowded. Eugene Lan quickly cleaned up the sofa, made a clean space, and then brought Dai Tian a can of drink.

Dai Tian took the drink, but did not open it: "Do you live alone?"

Eugene Lan sat down on the chair opposite the sofa and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I lived with my husband, son, and mother-in-law, but now my husband is hospitalized, my mother-in-law is taking care of him in the hospital, and my son was also sent to his parents' house by me." So, most of the time, I'm alone at home. ”

"What's wrong with your husband?"

You Jinlan looked at Dai Tian's curious face and hesitated, "He is injured at work." Her eyelids drooped, her expression pained, "He works as a punch in a packing factory, and that's the kind of round metal case back." She gestured to the drink in Dai Tian's hand.

Dai Tian said: "I know punching, it seems to be operating stamping equipment." ”

Eugene Lan nodded: "The method of that bottom cover is very simple, but there is a lot of dust in the factory, so there are often some marks on the knives." At that point, you have to stop the machine and blow the punching knife with a high-pressure air gun. But it doesn't always blow clean, so you can only put your hand in and wipe the knife edge. ”

"Isn't this job dangerous?" said Dai Tian, dumbfounded.

"Not really. I heard my husband say that according to the normal process, it is quite safe to turn off the machine first, wait for the power wheel to stop, then break the clutch, open the protective cover, put a support tool in it, and then wipe it. ”

Eugene Lan's eyes gradually turned red, "There is a performance appraisal in the factory, and my husband's shift output is the lowest." He was told by the leader that he couldn't do anything, just like everyone else, every time he disconnected the clutch, he opened the cover and wiped it directly. If you don't have the step to put the support tool, you have more time, so the output will go up. ”

The more she spoke, the more choked she became, "He came back and told me that he thought it was too dangerous, but he might be fired if the output was low, so he had to be as careful as possible." Who knows......" Eugene Lan finally sobbed.

Dai Tian silently handed over a pack of tissues.

After a while, Eugene Lan said, "I'm sorry. ”

Dai Tian whispered, "I can understand your feelings. He looked at Eugene Lan and asked cautiously, "Then how is your husband now?"

Eugeneland's tears flowed again, "One arm is gone!"

Dai Tian was stunned and said very sympathetically: "It's too unfortunate." ”

Eugene Lan wiped her nose, "Dai Tian, I'm actually glad you came to me." Because I've been worrying too much lately, and what you've brought is at least good news. ”

Dai Tian was noncommittal, and after a while, he asked, "Then did they make compensation?"

"It's only a little bit, and it's long gone. ”

Dai Tian was afraid that she would cry again, so he hurriedly asked, "Then are you ready to file a lawsuit?"

You Jinlan shook her head: "The owner of the packing factory is my father-in-law's fellow countryman, and he is still from a village, and there are many people in the village who work in his factory, how can I sue him? ”

Eugene Lan sighed, "Don't talk about him." Can you arrange for me to meet my daughter?"

Dai Tian was silent for a moment, then put down the drink in his hand and took out a folder from his backpack. He opened the folder, but instead of handing it to Eugene Lan immediately, he said with a hesitant face, "I really can't bear to tell you." ”

Eugene Lan looked at him in surprise, a little confused: "Didn't my daughter ask you to come to me? It took me many years after that to conceive my son, and besides, my son was not in good health and was often sick. She raised her head with tears in her eyes: "For so many years, I have always regretted it, and after my husband's accident, I felt that I had suffered retribution." I'm really sorry for my daughter. ”

Eugene Lan's eyes showed sincere remorse: "I've been living a very bad life, this is probably fate." ”

Dai Tian pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Have you looked for Ye Yingjun all these years?"

Eugene Lan nodded and wiped the corners of her eyes again: "My husband doesn't want me to find it, he is quite satisfied with his son." But my daughter is a piece of meat that fell from my body, how can I not want her? I secretly searched for her, and I also asked someone to ask the couple who took my daughter in the first place. However, I don't know if God wants to punish me, after so many years, I haven't heard any news. ”

Dai Tian handed the folder to Eugene Lan, "Look at it yourself." ”

Eugene quickly took the folder, flipped through the newspaper clippings and photos inside, and then, her lips twitched a few times, "What does this mean? ”

"More than a month ago, a waitress jumped off a building and happened to land in front of a foreigner's car, and the cause of death is unknown. Have you heard of this?"

Eugene's eyes were still red from crying, "I know. ”

Dai Tian looked at her: "Actually, this waitress is Ye Yingjun, your biological daughter." ”

Eugene Lan looked at the other party in horror: "Dai Tian!" She closed the folder in a panic and stood up, "You're testing me, aren't you?" She raised her voice: "My daughter wants you to test me, right?"

Dai Tian said sadly: "I'm sorry, please mourn." ”

Eugene Lan only felt dizzy, and it was pitch black in front of her.

Dai Tian stepped forward quickly and grabbed her arm so that she didn't fall to the ground. Dai Tian helped her to the sofa, and when she sat down, he opened the drink and put it in her hand.

Eugene Lan held the can blankly, her eyes fell on the folder on the ground, and she couldn't help but panic: "Daughter?

Dai Tian sighed in his heart, he took the can in Eugene's hand and put it on the table. Then, he picked up the folder and slipped it into his backpack, "I know it's cruel, but you have to face it." ”

"Reality?" Eugene muttered.

"Your daughter is dead, that's the reality. ”

"No!" Eugene Lan screamed, and she suddenly jumped up, pounced on Dai Tian's body, and thrashed like crazy. "No!" her voice grew louder and louder, her red eyes looking like a mad rabbit.

Dai Tian let her fight for a while before grabbing her hands, "Listen, your daughter's death was not an accident, she was killed by someone!"

"Killed?" Eugene Lan seemed to wake up suddenly, "What do you mean?"

She was disheveled and unshoeed when she jumped off the building, she had asked the store manager for leave a few days before the accident to go to her idol's concert and bought a high-priced ticket from a scalper, and a colleague of hers confirmed that she was usually cheerful and outgoing and showed no signs of suicide. Dai Tian stared at Eugene Lan, and his tone became stern: "She didn't commit suicide, nor did she stumble by accident, she was thrown from the eighth floor!"

"My daughter, my daughter!" Eugene Lan's hands were firmly grasped by Dai Tian, and her tears instantly gushed out like a spring. She cried so hard that she was about to sit down again, so Dai Tian had to help her to the sofa, let her curl up, and cry loudly.

It wasn't until she cried so hoarse that she was so tired that she didn't have the strength to do so, and Dai handed her a tissue.

Eugene Lan wiped away her tears and was silent for a long time before asking, "Since my daughter is no longer there, then, what are you coming to me for?"
