Jiang Cheng knew that he shouldn't be like this, but he couldn't help it, this matter was related to Zhou Weiming, and he couldn't keep it objective and official. Even if the connection between her and Zhou Weiming is only so small.

The first time Jiang Cheng got the information about the makeup was a year ago, at noon on September 6, 2009.

At that time, the murder case had just entered the judicial process, and Sheng Zheng, as a suspect, triggered a facial recognition alert for the classified case in the process of uploading the photo to the public security system, and the trigger point was the key person of the international mega human trafficking gang.

A few hours earlier that day, he was at the cemetery.

In the evening, in the middle of the rain, he was the only one in the dark cemetery, standing in the aisle between the front and back tombstones, looking at the black and white photos on the tombstones.

The young and beautiful face in the photo, looking at him with fearless eyes, smiling face with crooked eyebrows, half-length fluffy curly hair, plaid shirt, and clear face.

His eyes met, and he knelt down, unable to speak.

The name and date are engraved underneath the photo: Beloved Zhou Weiming, born on September 5, 1984, died in early 2009, date unknown.

It was carved by Jiang Cheng himself, and except for him, no one knew that his girlfriend Zhou Weiming had a well-dressed mound here.

Moments before receiving the call, he knelt in front of the tombstone and swore that he would find out the cause of her death, find her body, and bring her back.

She still looked at him with a smile, stubborn and lonely, her eyes seemed to break free from the stone monument and guide him in the way.

It was as if it was going to penetrate him and fall behind him.

What is behind him?

Jiang Cheng involuntarily turned around and saw his own mobile phone, which might have slipped out of his pocket, lying on the wet brick road, the screen flashing green.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the number of landline phones from the Interpol Human Snake Department was magnified by the dense raindrops on the screen.

***

He finished his vacation that night and arrived at the headquarters in France by direct flight.

On the information of the key person triggered in the system, the name is displayed as "Ruan Xian", and on the case information transmitted to him by the Chinese police, the same face is named "Sheng Makeup".

From Ruan Xian's disappearance in Cambodia to his appearance in China as a makeup person, it took four and a half months in between.

In the following year, Jiang Cheng disguised his identity and lurked in Cambodia, and finally investigated Ruan Xian's social relations, but there was a blank in the relevant past at the most important point in time, like stacking bricks out of the maze.

Now that she's out of prison, he's covering up his whereabouts in order to unravel the mystery and reveal the world beneath the surface.

Jiang Cheng believed in materialism, but he also followed his intuition.

When he first saw this woman, he felt that there was a fierceness in her eyes.

Although the appearance of Sheng Makeup is the same as "Ruan Xian" in the information, Ruan Xian's eyes in the photo are soft, his smile is sincere, his emotions catalyze his muscles, and his smile is conveyed from the inside out; The smile of the makeup is driven by the muscles, the corners of the eyes, the tips of the eyes are slightly raised, the eye waves are flowing, the meaning is unknown, like a layer of dazzling mask covering the face, it is not real.

The contrast is stark.

They are now asking for a picture, and what they have found is different from the original map, which is a big taboo.

Jiang Cheng's expression didn't change much, but his heart tightened, of course being in prison can change a person's temperament, but this change should be blunt, like a person being put on a leather case, the sleeve and the face are two layers, and they haven't penetrated into the bone marrow, so they are not skilled and contradictory.
