Old Mrs. Xu looked very old, her face was terrifyingly thin, but her two eyes were extraordinarily bright, sitting in the hall and muttering: "I saw it, I saw it." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Miao Yi walked over with Luo Yin: "Old man, this is our detective." ”

"Hello old man, my surname is Luo." Luo Yin saw that the old man seemed to be over the age of old, so he was a little more cautious in his words.

The old woman raised her head to look at Luo Yin, and her dry eyes suddenly filled with tears. She stretched out her rugged hand and grabbed Luo Yin's hand tightly, and said hoarsely, word by word: "I see, my daughter, she is still alive." The old woman's eyes were shining when she spoke, and Su San looked a little frightened. Because of such an old woman, her eyes were shining, which always reminded Su San of a bad experience, which was too weird.

"Old man, you can make it clear, your daughter's name is Xu Jiayin, she disappeared in May of the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, and it has been twenty-two years since now, where did you see your daughter again? After so much time, how can you recognize her at a glance? ”

When Su San heard Luo Yin ask, he looked at the old woman nervously. Sure enough, the old woman said: "I saw her in the law firm, she works beside the lawyer, my son is gone this year, I went to the law firm with my daughter-in-law and grandson to read the will, and when I went in, I saw good news, exactly the same as back then, there has been no change for more than 20 years, and she still smiles at me!" The old woman said this with a relieved expression, "This is God's eyes, let us reunite our mother and daughter." ”

"But why didn't you recognize each other on the spot and come to report the crime?"

Miao Yi interjected.

"Alas, Jiayin doesn't know me, she said she doesn't know me, what's that lawyer's surname?" The old woman thought for a while and said, "The lawyer surnamed Hou also said that it was not good news, it was Qiaoqiao, how did Jiayin become Qiaoqiao?" I don't believe it, but my daughter-in-law and grandson say that I am old and confused, I know that they are afraid that Jiayin will come back and divide the property, my old man's property should have been divided equally between their brothers and sisters, and the daughter-in-law is afraid that Jiayin wants her share, I can only come to report the case, and beg the police to make my wife the master. ”

Everyone understands this.

This old woman, who was able to send her daughter to study more than 20 years ago, is also an enlightened person and speaks quite methodically.

Sure enough, I saw Guo Qiaoqiao. Su San said: "Old man, that is really not your daughter, that young lady I know, called Guo Qiaoqiao, is only in her twenties this year, it can't be your daughter." ”

"It's Jiayin, it's really Jiayin, Jiayin has a small heart-shaped birthmark on her right arm, I saw it when she poured me tea, it's definitely my daughter Jiayin!"

When the old woman said this, she knelt on the ground with a puff, pulled Luo Yin's trouser leg and said: "Mr. Policeman, please help my wife, I am 72 years old this year, and I can live for a few more years, I can find good news before I die, and I will have an explanation even if I die and see the old man." ”

Luo Yin hurriedly bent down to help her up: "Don't be like this, old man, I can't bear it, I want to lose my life." Su San also went to help the old woman, and the old woman was helped up by them, took out a silk handkerchief from the pocket inside the cotton robe, and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

Her face was withered, her eyes were covered with knife-like crow's feet, and tears were flowing sideways. Su San looked at her crying so sadly, and thought to himself that she was really in tears.

"Old man, there are people coming and going in the hall, you come to my office, let's talk about it in detail."

Luo Yin and Su San helped the old woman to Luo Yin's office, and Miao Yi was very discerning and stood aside quietly with a cup of hot tea.

"Old man, Xu Jiayin has been missing for more than 20 years, and it can actually be regarded as the statute of limitations."

The old woman, who was obviously a person who had read the book, actually understood what the statute of limitations meant, held the cup tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, swallowed all the tears, and continued to ask: "Then Mr. Policeman is not going to take care of this matter?" ”

Su San hurriedly said, "No, Inspector Luo is a ...... Very nice people. ”

When she said this, she secretly glanced at Luo Yin, lowered her head slightly, and had a fever at the root of her ears.

When Luo Yin heard Su San say this, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "Originally, the statute of limitations for prosecution had passed, but since the old man found me, then I will help to the end." ”

When the old woman heard this, she showed a relieved look: "As long as Mr. Police can take care of this matter, I will rest assured." ”

"Although the old man can rest assured, it has been so long, and the ...... who is suspected of Xu Jiayin is in the law firm again and can't run"

Before Luo Yin finished speaking, the old woman interrupted him unhappily: "It's not suspicious, that's my daughter Jiayin, can't I recognize my daughter?" ”

Luo Yin continued: "After all, twenty-two years have passed, and there are many things in the archives that are not fully recorded, so old man, you can tell me about the situation before and after your daughter's disappearance." ”

The old woman nodded, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and spoke slowly.

"In the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, I remember very clearly, my daughter Jiayin only came back from studying at Meiji University in Japan at the beginning of the year, originally she wanted to find a job early, I thought that this child studied so hard, and now it is finally easy, it is better to rest for a while without working immediately, and the family is not short of this money. Alas, I really regret it now that I think about it, if I had worked according to her ideas, I probably wouldn't have disappeared. The old woman sighed and continued, "May 7th is a Wednesday, and at dinner, Jia Yin told me that she had actually found a job and went to Fudan to teach Japanese, which was introduced by her good friend Zilia's father. I was stunned for a moment, because Jiayin had never mentioned looking for a job, so I asked her when she would go to work, and Jiayin said that it hadn't been officially decided yet, and she needed an interview. I said what I was afraid of in the interview, our Jiayin is so good, Jiayin said that after dinner, I would go to Qi's house, and I would privately inquire about how Fudan was interviewed. So she went out after eating, and I told her to come back early. How did I know that as soon as Jiayin left, he never came back. ”

Su San looked at the file in her hand, and below was Qi Liya's testimony, she said that it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening after dinner, her father Professor Qi was not at home, she was the only one at home, she was a little scared and closed the door early to sleep, and when she slept in a daze, she seemed to hear someone calling the door outside, but she was asleep at the time, thinking that it was a dream and did not get up. The neighbors of the Qi family also testified that they saw a young lady wearing a beige plaid cheongsam knocking on the door of the Qi family at seven or eight o'clock, but did not see the appearance clearly.

Su San read this passage to the old woman, and the old woman nodded again and again and said, "Yes, Jiayin wore a beige checkered cheongsam when he went out." ”

At 7 o'clock in the evening of May 7, Xu Jiayin came to Qi's house in Shikumen, but Qi Liya went to bed early and didn't hear it, so Xu Jiayin left Qi's house. Since then, she has disappeared.

"Jiayin didn't come back all night, and I was a little worried, but when I thought that she had lived in the Qi family in the past, I was a little relieved. At that time, her brother was doing business in Hangzhou, and I was the only one in the family, and I found the Qi family the next day, but Miss Qi said that she had not seen good news, so I was in a hurry, so I went to the police station accompanied by Miss Qi to report to the police. ”

Luo Yin nodded, yes, according to the archives, it was indeed Qi Liya who accompanied Mrs. Xu to report the case.

After saying this, the old woman stood up tremblingly and said, "Probably this is the case, now you should go with me to find your daughter, right?" ”
