The truth is always shown naked in front of him when Lou is not ready.

Fan Laoyou told Frederick that his apprentice was going to Islay to find someone.

But Fan Lao's knowledge is relatively limited, and it is impossible to "find someone" directly with a photo like Lou Shang.

Lou Shang took out the photos given to him by Meng Qianxun's mother out of a very subtle psychology and showed them to Frederick.

In Lou Shang's memory, her mother has always stayed at the age of seven.

At the age of seven, it is still an age when a boy will adore his parents.

The local police said that no one could go in to visit, which shows that it is extremely difficult to enter the Brunschweig distillery and the fitting room.

But his mother, the fifth Qiwen, can not only enter by herself, but also take Meng Qianxun's mother in to visit.

What does this mean?

It shows that mom is a very special and powerful existence.

It's pretty much the mentality of a seven-year-old child who can't do any of you, just my mother.

After Lou Shang was seven years old, he didn't see the fifth Qiwen again, and he didn't even have any news related to the fifth Qiwen.

It is understandable that there will be a psychology of "returning to the basics".

It's just that Lou Shang didn't expect that the childlike mentality he unintentionally revealed would detonate such a big earth-shattering thunder.

Lou Shang has a childlike mentality in such a thing, and the local police officer Frederick is naturally not to be outdone.

Thirty-seven years ago, the police at that time must have also entered the tragedy of his brother's house, but at that time, Jeronimis had not yet become a policeman, so it was definitely impossible for him to enter and prove his courage if he wanted to enter it.

A few years later, Frederick became a police officer, but the castle of Hieronimis, at that time, was closed to outsiders with the closure of the Brunschweig distillery.

Even if you are a police officer, you can't just go into whomever house you want.

The combined population of Islay is only a few thousand smaller.

Although it is an island famous for its whisky, Islay has few drunks roaming the streets.

The security is also so good that many people's homes are closed at night.

Murders are very rare on Islay.

It is so rare that many "bold" children will regard going to the "murder scene" to hunt for curiosities as part of their growth experience.

Frederick's wish to visit the scene of the murder was unfulfilled for many years.

In between, after nineteen years, it became a very normal thing for Frederick to be able to see at a glance the "protagonist" of the murder he handled.

Most of the time, Frederick did the work of a "community policeman" on Islay.

The castle where the Brunschweig distillery is located is the private property of Hieronis.

The distillery has been closed down and has no business with anyone, so it is natural that Jeronymis has the right to refuse anyone to visit.

But if something happens there that has to be dealt with by the police, that's a different story.

Homicide certainly falls into the category of things that must be handled by the police.

Compared with Lou Shang's photo that proves that "nineteen years ago, someone went in", it is natural that Frederick's level of participation as a direct manager is "higher".

According to Frederick's psychological expectations, Fan Lao's little apprentice, after knowing that he was the person who handled the murder nineteen years ago, should be very excited to discuss this matter with him.

Then he asked if he could take him in for a tour, and then he told the "kid" who was still chattering that this was the prerogative of the local police.

Frederick, who grew up watching Sherlock Holmes, understood Lou Shang and Shuaige's appearance at the Brunschweig distillery in the middle of the night as the same kind of people who wanted to go to the "murder scene" from time to time when he was young.

But soon, years of experience in handling cases made Frederick realize that Lou Shang and Shuai Ge are not the kind of people who travel the world, visit or even buy murderous houses, and have special interests.

Because he couldn't see the expected light in Lou Shang's eyes.

did not wait for Lou Shang and Shuai Ge to ask for the details of the murder at the first time.

Perhaps, in this world, there has always been a big dark hand that will gather all the bad news together, and will make the unlucky people drink cold water and stuff their teeth.

But no matter how dark the big hand is, there is only one.

As long as you have experienced enough, you will know that no matter what is plugged in your teeth, you can still floss it slowly.

The truth is in front of Lou Shang.

To face it or not to face it, the truth is there, impartially.

Lou Shang forced himself to continue the conversation with Frederick in as calm a tone as possible: "You, remember, this, woman, she is my mother. ”

Frederick had already deduced that Lou Shang and Shuai Ge had appeared at the Brunschweig distillery for a different reason than he had expected, but they could not really have the keen detective powers of Sherlock Holmes.

The information given by Lou Shang was also a bombshell for Frederick.

The female deceased in the case he handled back then had no relatives except for a four-year-old daughter.

"I'm sorry. Frederick apologized for not having thought about Lou Shang's relationship with the deceased in advance.

"You don't need to be sorry, you...... Can I tell me about what happened back then?" Lou Shang has passed the time when he is unwilling to face reality.

The most devastating thing for him was when he saw the newspaper report.

Before that, he had come to find his mother and sister.

After that, the only person he could find was his sister.

Before coming to Islay, Lou Shang was mentally prepared for the worst, and his mother might have married a much older man.

When he came, he found out that the truth was much worse than he had expected.

After reading the old newspaper nineteen years ago, how much Lou Shang hoped that what Meng Qianxun said was true that her mother married a very old man.

That way, at least, Mom is still alive.

Compared with life and death, everything else becomes less important.

At the time when Shuai Ge arrived on Islay Island, especially in the restaurant of the Lochindaal Hotel, after meeting Lou Xia, Lou Shang was not as devastated as before.

After giving him a photo with Meng Qianxun's mother, Lou Shang had already accepted the fact that his mother had passed away.

Even if fate is too cruel, at least, God didn't take away his sister Lou Xia, at least he still has the light in his heart, which can be used as the direction of his efforts.

He also has a sister waiting for him, and he is not qualified to collapse.

"Didn't the Asian woman who died unexpectedly have no relatives?" Frederick was also a little surprised: "Do you have any documents that can prove your relationship with the deceased?"

"I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring any valid legal documents or anything like that. This photo was given to me by the lady my mother brought into the winery to visit at that time, and I am very sure that the person in the photo is my mother, and her name is Fifth Qiwen. If you need it, I can find my place of residence and issue my identification. ”

In the house, everything about the fifth Qiwen has been erased by the building, but the police station will definitely be able to find things like the fifth Qiwen's passport and ID card photo.

After Lou Shang accepted the offer, he became silent.

"The strangest thing about what happened back then was the attitude of Jerónimis Brunschweig. At one point, we suspected that he had something to do with the murder. If you can provide proof of identity, I can take you to the police station to find the file that was sealed. ”

"What happened to Hieronimis Brunschweig's attitude?" Shuai Ge decided to help his brother find out more on the way to the police station.

At first, he tried his best to clear it up, saying that he had nothing to do with the deceased, but only an accidental master-apprentice relationship. Very irritable to let us go looking for the relatives of the deceased. He himself has made a lot of phone calls to the embassy. ”

That doesn't sound strange. "Shuai Ge basically knows all the information that Lou Shang has.

"In the beginning, yes, indeed. However, the phone number of the emergency contact person left by the deceased when he entered the country was fake, and we called the embassy, and the other party also insisted that he had nothing to do with the deceased. We searched for two days, but we could not find the immediate family of the deceased, and just as we were thinking about further investigation, Jeronimis suddenly changed his story and said that he and the deceased were in a de facto marriage. ”

It is difficult for the police not to suspect the behavior of recording a confession and retracting it.

"And then?" said Shuai, continuing to learn the details.

"Then Jeronimis became the number one suspect, and we dug him up. All of us thought in our hearts that he was guilty, but no matter how much we dug deeper, Jeronymis really did not have the time and conditions to commit the crime, and in the end the case was closed unexpectedly with the death of a human being. ”

"Natural death?"

"Yes, it's sudden death. The dossier should contain the coroner's investigation and autopsy report for that year. When I got to the police station, I took out the file and looked at it. If you can get your local police station to fax the certificate of paternity, you can also show the file directly. ”

Frederick explained the reason why it was necessary to obtain a certificate of kinship before the file could be opened: "After ruling out the suspicion of Jeronis, we kept the file confidential at the request of the family of the person concerned, and blocked the information from the media and the outside world. Non-immediate family members cannot be viewed. ”

When Frederick took Lou Shang and Shuai Ge to the police station, it was past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

The time difference between China and Scotland is just enough for Shuai Ge to help Lou Shang get the documents that Frederick needs in the shortest possible time.

The first broker is serious, and the speed is not covered.

Not only did I ask the police station for a certificate of parent-child relationship, but I even did the English translation directly and faxed it together.

The police dossier is more detailed than what the media reported.

It contains almost all of the information in the letter written by Jeronymus to the Fifth Summer, except that he said that he was a cursed man and hoped that the Fifth Summer would continue to dislike him.

There are even many things that are not written in the letter.

Under what circumstances did Teronimisus "accidentally" take in the Fifth Qiwen and the Fifth Xia.

What kind of "accidental" situation started a master-apprentice relationship with the fifth Qiwen.

When Fifth Qiwen died, Fifth Xia was only four years old and had to have a guardian.

At first, the judge sentenced Fifth Summer to a welfare institution and put him on the list of people waiting to be adopted.

In the end, the disabled Teronimis, through his de facto marriage relationship with the Fifth Qiwen and a detailed and complete education plan, took precedence over other families and obtained the custody of the Fifth Summer.

In addition, there is a record of the social worker's return visit and a treatment report from a child psychiatrist of a public interest nature.

At the beginning, the psychiatrist hoped that through psychological intervention, he could get Fifth Summer out of the shadow of being locked in the whisky warehouse when his mother died.

When he found out that after the fifth summer woke up from the hospital, he didn't remember anything before, so the psychiatrist came to the conclusion that no treatment was better than treatment, and if there was a problem, he would go back for a re-examination.

The social worker also stopped regular return visits after the fifth summer of school.

..............................

When Lou Shang and Shuai Ge were looking through the files at the police station, the fifth summer, which had drunk at least 1.5L of whiskey raw liquor, also began to have a rare drunkenness.

When it was daybreak, she told the executors of the Brunschweig family that she was unwilling to inherit the estate.

The fifth summer, which threw away all the shackles, had a rare moment of relaxation.

The fifth summer, which was about to say goodbye to the Brunschweig family once and for all, looked at it irrelevantly, and what Teronymis left to her was except for the three things that 100,000 bottles of whiskey thought.

That letter.

That one survey.

That family tree.

The last time I read the letter from Jeron Nimis, the fifth summer was only able to read the four words "your mother" anymore.

She, the fifth summer, has no mother.

This time, because it was none of his business, Fifth Xia watched it smoothly as if he was watching someone else's story.

Fifth Summer read the handwritten letter from Ieronimis without any feeling, and she was a little drunk.

With the amount of alcohol in the fifth summer, drinking two 700ml bottles of ordinary whisky is a slight drunkenness without stress.

But the original whiskey of the Brunschweig family, even after decades of baptism, must have surpassed the forty or fifty degrees of regular whisky.

What's more, the fifth summer also drank more than two bottles.

In normal times, even if he is a little more drunk than slightly drunk, Fifth Summer will not allow himself to get completely drunk.

Exceptions can be made in situations like today, where nothing is done and nothing is light.

Fifth Xia, who was so drunk that her brain was not very good, read the letter once, but she didn't understand what was written in the letter at all.

Then she watched it a second time, a third time, a fourth time......

No matter how many times I read it, I didn't understand it.

Then, the fifth summer was stupidly cried by herself.

Wail.

It seems to be drained, from the age of four to the present, I have not opened the floodgates to store tears.

The fifth summer in a state of intoxication, the more she cried, the more puzzled she became, why, the story of other people's families, could make her cry when she couldn't even laugh.
