Chapter 223: The Girl Who Can't Be Identified (Part I)
"After the two men took her to the hospital, they came to see her twice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info hasn't been here since. And the contact information they left is also fake. The patient himself could not tell the relationship with the two men, but remembered that he had lived in the rural home of one of them for a while. According to the patient's own account, she had been admitted to another hospital before this to treat her trauma. ā
"Trauma?"
"Yes, she has severe signs of trauma on her body. Her back was covered in scars. ā
He asked me about my girlfriend's disappearance. I only said that my girlfriend works in a confidential unit and disappeared after an accident on a business trip a year ago. I don't know exactly how it happened.
Dr. Wang frowned. "A few months ago, a police officer came with a group of people, also saying that it was a confidential unit, and conducted an inspection on Xue'er."
Have they been here?
Oh, yes! They couldn't have gotten the news later than I did. "Did they say anything?" I asked.
"They just said let's take care of her. Said they would come back. But they didn't come later. No contact details were left either. ā
They came, but they didn't take her and didn't leave any messages. Why is that?
"Mr. Mo, there is one more thing. If Cher's family and work are found and her identity is confirmed, please pay for her medical expenses. ā
"How much do you owe?"
"More than 60,000 yuan! Specifically, you have to ask about finance. ā
I was taken aback, "So much? ā
"That's not much." Dr. Wang said, "From the sixth hospital to the sanatorium, she lived for more than seven months. The bed fee alone costs 30,000 yuan. ā
Out of the doctor's office, I kept wondering, are those people from the army? Does Colonel Lee know? So does the commander know? If he doesn't know, shouldn't he tell him?
Back in the hospital room, I talk to Cher about my past with Luxue (I have to be careful not to get into any secrets, because I'm not sure she's Luxue now), but I don't recall any memories of her. I wanted to see the scars on her back, but she didn't agree. Although she accidentally called out my screen name, she didn't recognize me and was still wary of me.
In the hallway, I dialed the commander's phone. I pondered for a moment before I spoke. "Uncle, I was in a nursing home in T City, and I saw a girl with amnesia, who looked like Lu Xue, and also had a smart prosthetic."
"I know." He said.
This was quite unexpected. "Have you seen her, then?"
"Nope." He replied, "I don't think that's our winter. She never used the name Cher. ā
The answer was so crisp. I was frozen all at once. The commander was undoubtedly talking about this girl named Cher, but he didn't recognize her at all, and he didn't even look at her, so he made this assertion.
Then the commander must be well-founded. That's his daughter! Even though she lost all her memories, she was still his daughter. How could he not want her?
But the existing evidence all points to her being Ouyang Luxue!
I was going to go to City K at once, not to see the commander, but to Colonel Lee.
Before leaving, Xue'er suddenly grabbed my hand, "Do you want to go?" ā
I crouched down, "Cher, I'm going to find your family, and my former colleagues." ā
"Will they all come?" She asked.
"I think so." I lied.
"And when are you coming back?"
"Soon!"
I took the high-speed rail from City T to City K. The national highway is not far from one side of the railway. A year ago, Luxue may have been abandoned on the side of the road and rescued again. However, can you be sure that she is Luxue now? She doesn't have any memories of me and Luxue, how can you say that she is Luxue.
What if she's really Luxue? What if she never recovers her memories? What am I going to do?
Early the next morning, I arrived in K City and went directly to the barracks to find Colonel Lee.
I told him about my process of going to find Cher. He just listened silently, and then asked me, "Do you think she is Ouyang Luxue?" ā
I was a little surprised by the way he talked. "I thought it was like it, but the commander said no. He said that Luxue had never used the name Cher. ā
"Yes, the commander and his wife are at home, and they always call her Dong'er." "But what the commander said was not accurate. I looked it up. Ouyang Luxue participated in an operation when she was an intern in the Armed Police Force, and during that mission, her pseudonym was Xue'er. ā
"You checked it a few months ago, didn't you?"
"Yes." Colonel Lee replied, "It was a covert operation. We didn't tell you. The point is, we couldn't determine her identity. ā
"Why?" I asked, "Don't you have that many secret levels?" She is engaged in secret work, doesn't she often have to do identity verification? You can check her fingerprints and iris! ā
"We checked. Her fingerprint similarity is S2 and her iris is S3. ā
"What does that mean?"
"From the perspective of criminal investigation, it cannot be ruled out that she is. But from a security point of view, I can't be sure who she is. He added, "She had damage to her fingerprints and iris. ā
I couldn't help but frown. All this he said, in my opinion, only proves one thing, she is Ouyang Luxue. "What about DNA?"
"And we don't have her genetic data." He said.
"Then the commander can do a paternity test with her!"
"The commander doesn't agree to do it." He said.
"But why? Didn't the commander want to find his daughter? Madame doesn't want to either? ā
The Colonel looked at me, "Have you ever thought about such a possibility?" Ouyang Luxue is not the biological daughter of the commander and his wife. ā
I was shocked, "But she looks so much like her parents!" ā
"People who have lived together for a long time will be very similar."
I was completely speechless.
"Cher, she's a living person. Could it be that it is more difficult to determine the identity of a living person than to determine Fang Lingshan's body? ā
"Yes!" Colonel Lee replied, "Because the dead can be sealed with coffins." And the living cannot. ā
"What do you mean?"
"Ouyang Luxue, as a core secret-related personnel, has been held hostage by the enemy and disappeared for so long, and she is responsible for losing secrets. Once her identity is established, she will need to undergo a strict segregation review before she returns to work. This may include long, non-stop intense cross-examination, as well as polygraphs. With her current physical condition and mental state, can she withstand it? ā
"Huaiyu," he continued, "I understand your feelings for Ouyang. But the more this happens, the more you need to stay awake. What you have to do now is try to evoke her memory and make her recover as soon as possible. ā
I asked, "Do you mean that if she can't recover her memory, you can't confirm her identity." And once her identity is confirmed, she will be quarantined for review. ā
He nodded, "That's understandable. ā
I was completely speechless.
