Chapter 41
Ke Qian's hometown is in HB, not far from BJ. But in recent years www.biquge.info China's small and medium-sized cities have been demolishing and building the same commercial houses or new towns without exception. Keqian's earliest household registration, the dormitory of a bankrupt old factory, has long been razed to the ground and a new community has been built. And those former neighbors are also missing. Jian Yao asked around the community, including the neighborhood committee, no one knew anyone from the Ke family, and no information was found.
Only the lake opposite the community, rippling blue waves, is still clear.
Perhaps in such an era of rapid economic change, the only thing that remains unchanged is the lakes and mountains that have always stared at us.
Next to the small lake, there is also a large wetland, full of greenery, but it is well protected.
They went to the second address: Ke Qian's grandfather's home, which is also in this county. According to Ke Qian's registered family relationship in college, there is only one grandfather. The address is also filled in with grandpa's house.
This time it was easier to find. It's in an old house in the old town. Blue tile gray walls, two bungalows. There was a big brass lock at the door.
Jian Yao and Bo Jinyan knocked on the door for a long time, but an aunt came out of the next room and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Jian Yao smiled and said, "Eldest sister, we are Ke Qian's friends in BJ. When I came here to travel, I just remembered that he said that his hometown is here, so I want to come and see it. ”
Bo Jinyan smiled slightly, and glanced at the wife of the criminal policeman, who was becoming more and more slippery.
The eldest sister saw that they were born with a talent, but she didn't doubt it, and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Xiao Ke's friend." He hasn't been back recently. ”
"Eldest sister, when did Xiao Ke's grandfather pass away?" Jian Yao asked.
The eldest sister sighed and said, "It's been four or five years, when Xiao Ke was just admitted to college. ”
Jian Yao and Bo Jinyan glanced at each other. The blow came at that time, and it was no wonder that Ke Qian showed a strong attachment to his college friends.
"Does he have any other relatives?" Jian Yao asked.
The eldest sister thought for a while and shook her head: "I didn't see any contacts." Our family moved in ten years ago, and they were alone. Hey, speaking of which, Xiao Ke also has a hard life, I heard that when he was five or six years old, his parents died in a car accident, and he didn't lose any money. No, after his grandfather died, I still had a key to the house, and he was studying outside, so I came over from time to time to clean the house. ”
Bo Jinyan suddenly asked, "Then when was the last time he came back?" ”
The eldest sister replied: "Just a month ago, I remember very well that those days were the Qingming Festival holiday. ”
Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao didn't speak.
A month ago.
Ke Qian was "killed" by Jiang Xueran and others half a year ago.
Then the buried "body" disappeared, and then he returned to his hometown a month ago, and then committed a series of homicides.
"Are you sure it's him back?" Bo Jinyan asked.
The eldest sister looked at him strangely: "What are you asking?" Am I still wrong? He had dinner at my house that day. I watched the children grow up......"
Jian Yao interjected with a smile: "Eldest sister, that's the case, we also know that Ke Qian has a lot of care from you here, this is two hundred yuan, and it is also a little bit of our heart as friends." ”
The eldest sister blushed when she saw Qian, waved her hand and said no. Jian Yao insisted on giving it to her, she refused a few times, but in the end she still accepted it. Jian Yao took the opportunity to ask: "Eldest sister, we are all here, can we go to Ke Qian's house to have a look?" ”
Ke Qian's grandfather's house, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a family with four walls. In the two rooms, there was nothing but a bed, a table, and a cupboard. But it's kept neat and tidy. The furniture is old-fashioned, and some people have hand-painted some Chinese-style bamboo leaves and flowers on the wall, and if you look closely, the whole home immediately becomes good.
Needless to say, this must also be Ke Qian's handiwork.
probably thought that Ke Qian's family didn't have anything valuable, and after the eldest sister brought them in, she went out to do other things. Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao looked around and didn't find anything unusual. Jian Yao said: "I'm confused. I thought that Ke Qian would definitely die, but what Fang Qing and Gu Yanxi saw before was another person with a similar body shape to him. But now, what this eldest sister really sees is the living Ke Qian. Is he really not dead? ”
"Don't be confused." "I think we're close to the answer. Don't you notice that there's something missing in this room? ”
Jian Yao was stunned.
Bo Jinyan put on gloves, opened the cabinets and drawers one by one, and then closed them again, and said: "Ke Qian's sensitive and meticulous personality lost his father and mother when he was young, and he lost his grandfather just after being admitted to university...... He will definitely keep something very well and cherish it. But we didn't find anything like that in his rented cabin. Here, too, it was found. ”
"What is it?" Jian Yao asked.
"Albums."
Jian Yao was stunned.
Bo Jinyan smiled and said, "Is that something that the man wants to bring with him, or is it ...... Something he wanted to hide. That's why he came back so suddenly. ”
Jian Yao was stunned.
Could it be that it is not lovers, but ......
Close relatives.
――
Lotus Pond Primary School is one of the best elementary schools in the neighborhood. When Bo Jinyan and Jian Yao arrived, it was afternoon.
"The neighbor's aunt moved in 10 years ago." Bo Jinyan said, "At that time, Ke Qian happened to be in junior high school, and she didn't know anything about him before junior high school. There are also no longer neighbors around. And Ke Qian has excellent grades since he was a child, and he must be admitted to the best primary school. ”
They went to the school's academic office and showed their IDs. An elderly teacher received them: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get the school registration materials for that year." ”
While waiting, An Yan called.
"Found out. The one who gave Ke Qian that money was an overseas account, the United States. The account name is K.A. ”
At this time, the teacher also brought the school booklet. Although it has been many years, Jian Yao looked carefully for a while, and in the class photo, she found a child with eyebrows that looked like an adult Ke Qian, and she pointed it out to Bo Jinyan: "Look, this is Ke Qian." ”
The teacher next to him put on reading glasses and said with a smile: "You admit that you are wrong, that is not Ke Qian, it is Ke Ai." Ke Ai is the older sister, and the girl stands in the first row. Ke Qian is the younger brother and stands in the last row. They're twins, and they look very similar. ”
Bo Jinyan held the photo and watched in silence. Jian Yao was really in the last row and found Ke Qian. Looking at the two children whose appearance was almost indistinguishable, her heart suddenly felt a little inexplicably sad. "And then," she asked. Where did my sister Ke Ai go? ”
The teacher sighed and replied, "My sister has a good life, they have a relative, they have no children, and they adopted her when she was in the third grade of elementary school." But probably because I am afraid that both of them will be adopted, and the burden will be too heavy, and I am also afraid that the two children will be together, but they will not be able to raise each other. So the younger brother still stayed with his grandfather. Later, it seems that Ke Ai was brought to the United States. ”
