"Did anything happen to your mother before she got sick?"

"It's fine...... By the way, I remembered. She went to the county seat once before she fell ill, and her mood was not very high when she came back. ”

"Oh, do you know what she is doing in the county seat?"

Liu Na shook her head, and then frowned and thought about it: "I guess I went to the county town to find someone to borrow money, and she wanted me to repeat it." ”

Qin Yongmei buried her head in taking notes, and then looked at her watch: "That Master Wan should come over at this time." Do you know him?"

Liu Na nodded: "Yes, he is the earliest villager in our village." ”

"Then I'll go first. ”

"Do you want me to go with you? ”

"No need. By the way, do you have a place to stay at night?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Then I'll come over to accompany you at night. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

When Qin Yongmei returned to Village Chief Tan's house, Village Chief Tan really took Uncle Wan over.

In fact, Uncle Wan is less than seventy years old, and his body is quite tough.

In the countryside, he can still top half of the labor force.

Before Uncle Wan could speak, Village Chief Tan said with some emotion: "The villagers don't necessarily know the roots!"

"What's wrong?"

Qin Yongmei said, glancing at Uncle Wan.

Uncle Wan smiled, and before he could open his mouth, Village Chief Tan said again: "Uncle Wan just said, Liu Caixia is probably picked up by the old Liu family!"

Uncle Wan nodded on the side.

Uncle Wan came to Xibeiwang Village in 1948.

The old Liu family came in 1950.

When they first arrived, they didn't have any children.

But in 1951, a seven or eight-year-old girl suddenly appeared next to them.

This is Liu Caixia.

They claimed that this Liu Caixia was the child they brought from their hometown in eastern Hebei.

In that era when everything was in ruins, it was easy to register for a household registration.

But Uncle Wan felt a little strange.

Because of this, Liu Caixia is very different from Lao Liu's husband and wife in terms of appearance or temperament.

Later, in private, Lao Liu and his wife confessed to Uncle Wan: This Liu Caixia was actually picked up.

In the autumn of 1951, the two of them found this dying little girl on the side of the road to the county seat.

So he carried her home, poured two bowls of rice soup, and rescued her.

Xiao Cao said a little excitedly: "So Liu Caixia is a girl from a big family." ”

Uncle Wan nodded: "It looks like her temperament is indeed different from our poor children." ”

Everyone was chatting hotly, but Yuan Xianzhou was frowning and thinking about something.

Qin Yongmei chatted with Uncle Wan for a while, and then sent him out with Village Chief Tan.

When he returned to the courtyard, Yuan Xianzhou still scratched his chin and thought.

Qin Yongmei smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"Even if she is a girl from a big family, she was only seven or eight years old when she found her, she could not have learned Mandarin and foreign languages. ”

Qin Yongmei nodded: "Mandarin is easy to say." She listened to the foreign box every day, and maybe she learned to speak Mandarin in her dreams. But if you don't specialize in a foreign language, you won't be able to learn it. ”

"Yes, even if she starts learning at the age of five or six, she may not be able to speak so fluently at the age of seven or eight. ”

And Liu Caixia was seven or eight years old in 1951, and only five or six years old in 1949. At that time, their family had already been dictatorship, so how could they have the opportunity to learn foreign languages. ”

"yes, I said something was wrong. But in this case, these clues are useless. ”

"Don't worry, when we go back to the county tomorrow, let's check again." I have a feeling that she has some relatives in the county. ”

After staying in the village for one night, when she returned to the town early the next morning, Qin Yongmei asked Director Gu to release Liu Caixia first.

Then catch the coach bound for the county seat.

After arriving in the city, Qin Yongmei and Yuan Xianzhou didn't have time to rest, so they hurried to the archives of the Public Security Bureau to check the case files in the 50s.

This is actually just Qin Yongmei's intuition.

She brought up the 1951 file.

This year, the Public Security Bureau was not long established, and there were not many cases.

So, a big case was quickly found.

In the spring of 1951, a tragedy occurred in the county.

A family surnamed Kang committed suicide by hanging themselves by hanging a beam because of the persecution.

Although Qin Yongmei is not a land-sitting household in the county, she has been a public security officer for so many years and knows a lot about the things in the county in recent decades.

Before liberation, the Kang family was the largest landowner in the county.

It is said that half of the street of South Street is now his family's.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, there should be a third of it.

At present, the façade of the pharmaceutical company on South Street is renovated from the "Kangde Ji" pharmacy of the old Kang family.

Mr. Kang has two sons.

The eldest once studied in the United States and later returned to China to serve.

The second child joined the military and later crossed the treasure island.

It was the boss's family who committed suicide.

According to the records of the case, the family of five is a husband and wife, two sons and a daughter.

The daughter is twelve years old, and the two sons are only five or six years old.

After the tragedy, the twelve-year-old daughter survived.

At first, Yuan Xianzhou was quite excited, and after looking down a few more times, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, the age is wrong." ”

"Yes, this girl was twelve years old. And Liu Caixia was eight years old at the time. ”

Yuan Xianzhou thought for a while and suddenly realized: "I understand, Liu Caixia and her family have always been under dictatorship, so malnutrition develops slowly, and they look younger than their actual age." ”

Qin Yongmei nodded: "And the old Liu family should have deliberately reported her age younger." ”

If this is the case, Liu Caixia's Mandarin and foreign languages can be explained.

Her father stayed abroad and should be fluent in foreign languages.

Twelve-year-old Liu Caixia may have learned a lot from him.

But is Liu Caixia really the eldest daughter of the Kang family?

I am afraid that the current information alone cannot draw conclusions.

"Let's go back to the Letters and Visits Office. ”

Qin Yongmei said and stood up.

Qin Yongmei and Yuan Xianzhou rode bicycles to the Letters and Visits Office again.

Qin Yongmei revealed her identity.

The staff checked the petition records for a while.

It turned out to be true.

This Comrade Liu Caixia from Xibeiwang Village, Wanli Town, claimed that she was the eldest daughter of the Kang family and demanded compensation. ”

It turned out that since 1980, many former land-rich anti-bad rightists have been rehabilitated.

Last year, Lao Kang's family was also rehabilitated.

But there was no descendant to receive compensation.

The staff smiled: "The age and name of this Comrade Liu Caixia are completely inconsistent with the eldest daughter of the Kang family, and there is no other physical evidence that can prove her identity." ”

"Is fingerprinting OK?"

"Of course, as long as your public security organs show a certificate, you can confirm her identity. ”

In the file of the 1951 massacre, there are fingerprints of the eldest daughter.

There's also a lot of candy wrapper.

According to the facts of the case, at the scene of the suicide, a thick layer of sugar wrapper was laid on the ground.

According to this, Qin Yongmei restored the scene at the time of the crime.

On that day, the eldest of the Kang family bought a lot of candy for his children to eat.

The two sons were playing outside, and the eldest son of the Kang family asked his daughter to call them back.

When the eldest daughter called her two younger brothers back, she watched her father hang them.

Then he hung his eldest daughter up as well.

In the end, the two also committed suicide by hanging themselves.

After the eldest daughter survived, she felt that she had killed her younger brother and would not speak from then on.

Later, she lived alone on the streets, and was rescued by the Liu couple when she was hungry and cold.

After decades of silence, stimulated by a series of events, she regained her ability to speak, even remembering the foreign language her father had taught her before.

But she was mentally abnormal.

After listening to Qin Yongmei's introduction, Yuan Xianzhou admired: "Captain Qin, you are really a god! ”

Qin Yongmei smiled: "Although eight or nine are not far from ten, there is still an important link......

This time, without waiting for Qin Yongmei's reminder, Yuan Xianzhou said: "I know! ”

After returning to the bureau, Yuan Xianzhou immediately called the Wanli Police Station and asked Xiaocao to bring Liu Caixia to the county to collect fingerprints.

The next day, Xiao Cao brought Liu Caixia with her, and Liu Na also followed.

After taking fingerprints, Xiao Yin took Liu Caixia aside to rest.

Liu Na accompanied Qin Yongmei and they conducted fingerprint comparison

After some comparison, Liu Caixia was indeed the surviving eldest daughter of the Kang family.

Liu Na was excited: "I want to tell my mother quickly." ”

Qin Yongmei hurriedly stopped: "Don't! She's not very stable now, you have to tell her, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold back." ”

Da Lao Hei also said on the side: "This is like storing Chinese cabbage in winter, if you put it in the house for a long time, you will take it out to bask in the sun, and it will spoil at once." ”

With the certificate from the Public Security Bureau, Liu Na successfully received 20,000 yuan in compensation from the county government.

The pharmaceutical company happened to be moving to the office building on Renmin Road, so it returned the street facing house on South Street, which originally belonged to "Kang Deji", to Liu Na.

"Do you want to change back to your Kang family's name?" Yuan Xianzhou asked Liu Na.

"Forget it, the Liu family has a life-saving grace for my mother. But can I change my name to Liu Kang?"

"Yes, I'll say hello to the person who handled the securities market. ”

Qin Yongmei also said: "I asked you about tutoring, my old man has already reserved a place for you in the seventeenth middle school, you have to hurry up and report it." ”

"Okay, I'll have to take the test this time. ”

When Bai Zong heard about Liu Na, he also said: "Tell her, I can partner with her to open a Kant Ji Pharmacy." The profits are evenly divided. ”
