When they came out of the forensic autopsy room, it was already time for lunch, and Xu Lang and Ning Yanran went to the cafeteria to eat together.

During the meal, Ning Yanran looked at Xu Lang a little absent-mindedly, and asked, "What, are you still thinking about Niu Honghe's case?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head and said: "No, although Niu Honghe's case looks complicated, in fact, after sorting out his thoughts, the facts of the case have gradually become clear, all this is not planned by Niu Honghe, as long as you investigate what I told you before, as long as you find clues from other things, you can open a breakthrough from Niu Honghe." ”

Ning Yanran nodded, she felt that what Xu Lang said was right, but she thought about it, since Xu Lang was not thinking about Niu Honghe's case, why was he so absent-minded, did he want other things, so she asked, "Then what are you thinking?" ”

Xu Lang shook his head, lowered his head and began to eat, but did not say anything, Ning Yanran saw that Xu Lang was unwilling to say more, so he didn't ask anything more.

After eating in the cafeteria, the two of them returned to the office area of the second criminal investigation team, Ning Yanran went to work alone because she had other things to do, while Xu Lang went to the archives of the Public Security Bureau with the documents of the criminal investigation consultant, and he wanted to check the archives of the orphanage where Shangguan Jing was located.

After Bu Zimo's case ended, it seemed that everything had calmed down, and Xu Lang's life had returned to the way it was before, but Shangguan Jing's sudden appearance broke into Xu Lang's life without warning, Xu Lang felt a very uncomfortable feeling, he wanted to figure out who this Shangguan Jing was and why he was suddenly so interested in himself.

The administrator of the archives naturally knew Xu Lang, and saw that Xu Lang was going to check the archives, at first, the administrator was still a little embarrassed, after all, Xu Lang's current identity was a little special, and it was not in accordance with the rules for Xu Lang to enter the archives room before he got the order of his superiors, but when he heard that Xu Lang was not going to investigate a murder case, but the archives of an orphanage, the administrator in his fifties could feel embarrassed, so he let Xu Lang go.

There are very few archives in the orphanage in the west of the city, because of the age, the archives are not very well preserved, and a thick layer of dust has fallen on the archives.

The file records are a bit like a running account, except for the founding time of this orphanage and some necessary files, there is basically nothing special, Xu Lang was a little disappointed after turning over the file, but he still found some doubts in this thin file.

First, Shangguan Jing's eldest brother, that is, Shangguan Huasheng's first child, did not die naturally back then, it seems that it was because Shangguan Huasheng used to make a living, offended the people on the underworld, and it is rumored that this child was brutally killed, but what is the truth, the records in the file are also very vague, and the police did not file a case, and Shangguan Huasheng did not report the case, so the matter is over.

Second, Shangguan Watson's second child, not running away from home, but absconding in fear of crime, in the last century, Shangguan Jing's second brother seemed to have a conflict with a gang in S City, he was young and vigorous at that time, beat the boss to death, and was chased and killed by the underworld, since then, his whereabouts are unknown, and this information is only very small, as for the gang, it was just in time for the crackdown, most of the gangsters were arrested by the police, and only a small part escaped, but it didn't become a climate. As for where Shangguan Jing's second brother went after escaping, and whether he had been killed by the gangsters, it is not known for the time being.

Third, there are many things to say about this orphanage, some people say that this is a charity, Shangguan Watson is a good person, and some people say that this orphanage is actually an illegal place for cultivating criminals, after all, this orphanage is different from other orphanages, it does not take in normal children, and the children who take in are the children of criminals.

After seeing these things, Xu Lang felt that whether this Shangguan Jing or her father Shangguan Huasheng was not a simple person, at least, Xu Lang felt that Shangguan Jing did not tell the truth about some of the things he told him, such as the matter of his two elder brothers, and the matter of Shangguan Huasheng.

Originally, Xu Lang thought that after checking the information of the orphanage, many problems could be easily solved, but what he didn't expect was that the questions in Xu Lang's heart were not only not answered, but became more and more confused.

Just when Xu Lang was about to look for it again and see if there were any other information files about the orphanage, Xu Lang's mobile phone rang.

"Jingle bells."

"Hey, what's wrong?" Xu Lang answered the phone and asked without looking.

"Where are you?" Ning Yanran's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Archives."

"What are you doing there?"

"Check something, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? Xu Lang didn't want to dwell on this issue for too long, so he changed the topic and asked.

"The colleague in charge of going out to investigate and visit is back, you can come over." Ning Yanran said on the phone.

"Okay, I'll be right here."

After Xu Lang said this, he hung up the phone, sorted out the file in his hand, put it back in its place, and then walked out of the archive room and came to the side of the second criminal investigation team.

When Xu Lang came to the second criminal investigation team, he found that the originally empty office area suddenly became very lively, and there were many people standing or sitting in the small office area, in addition to Zhang Lei and Li Lei, Lao Kaige and Zhu Xumei, who came to report to the second criminal investigation team before the 7.12 case, were also among them, these people, Xu Lang had seen before, and among this group of people, there were three people Xu Lang had never seen, two men and one woman.

The three of them don't look big, and the girl among them looks exceptionally beautiful and quiet, and when she laughs with the people around her, she will show two small tiger teeth, which looks particularly cute, but what caught Xu Lang's attention was not the beautiful girl, but the man who stood outside the crowd, without saying a word, with an expressionless face, this person looked older than the others.

This man is about thirty years old, the police uniform looks tight on his body, where the clothes are not covered, Xu Lang can clearly see his solid muscles, as well as the occasional little light in his eyes, Xu Lang wants not to pay attention, this man's first feeling to Xu Lang is a muscular man, he should be very able to fight, Xu Lang guessed that the other party was not born as a retired soldier.

Just when Xu Lang looked at the man, the man seemed to be aware of Xu Lang's gaze, he stared at Xu Lang with a pair of tiger eyes, showing a wary look, but he quickly relaxed, nodded at Xu Lang slightly, it was considered to have said hello, Xu Lang also nodded slightly, it was considered a return of courtesy, and then, Xu Lang shifted his gaze to the last man, this man looked very young, and his face was still covered with greenness, at this moment, he was teased by Zhang Lei for a few words, and he blushed a little, Looks like a shy guy who is easily shy.

Xu Lang's appearance quickly attracted the attention of Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei is the most idle master of the second criminal investigation team, after he saw Xu Lang, his eyes suddenly lit up, he quickly came to Xu Lang's side, stretched out an arm on Xu Lang's shoulder and said, "Brother Lang, why are you here?" ”

Xu Lang turned his head and glanced at Zhang Lei's arm on his shoulder, looked at Zhang Lei with a smile, and did not speak.

"Hey, hey... Huh..."

Zhang Lei laughed a few words, and quickly put his arm off Xu Lang's shoulder.

At this moment, Ning Yanran walked out of the office, came to the front of everyone, and after seeing that Xu Lang was also there, she said, "Everyone can find a place to sit, and then talk about the results of your visit." ”

"Whoa..."

As soon as Ning Yanran's words fell, the office area of the second criminal investigation team suddenly heard the sound of chairs being dragged, and Xu Lang also pulled a chair and sat down.

After everyone was seated, Ning Yanran looked around and asked, "Who will come first?" ”

There are not many old comrades in the second criminal investigation team, Li Lei is in charge of interrogating Niu Honghe today, and it is Zhang Lei who went out to visit and investigate, so Zhang Lei was the first to speak and said: "Kaizi and I went to visit Niu Honghe's mechanical processing factory and learned some information, because today is Sunday, there are not many people at work, in the process of understanding, we found that his workers did not know that something happened to his family, according to our understanding of the situation, the reflection of the workers, Niu Honghe is an honest friend in their eyes, Silent and unspeakable, however, his lathe skills are very good, and he is a well-known master in their machine processing factory. ”

When Xu Lang heard this, he interrupted Zhang Lei's narration and asked, "How many years has Niu Honghe worked in this machinery processing factory?" ”

Zhang Lei took out his notebook and flipped through it, then raised his head and said: "Niu Honghe entered the machinery processing factory twelve years ago, when he was only eighteen years old, and he was not yet nineteen years old. ”

"He's been working in a machine shop all the time? Didn't change places? Xu Lang asked.

Zhang Lei nodded and said: "No, we found the person in charge of the mechanical processing factory, and asked about Niu Honghe, according to the person in charge, the mechanical processing factory was still very big in S City, and there were many people who came to apply for the job at that time, and Niu Honghe was one of them, because he looked more honest, he hired him, he didn't understand anything at first, he didn't know anything, he followed a master in the factory, starting from an apprentice who had no salary to eat and live, and later, the master was old and retired. And Niu Honghe also came out of the school, and replaced the master's position in the factory, these years, Niu Honghe in the factory is conscientious, diligent work, since he entered the factory, basically did not make any mistakes. ”

"Honest, taciturn, not good at words, down-to-earth and hard-working, and the technology is very good, this is the evaluation given to him by Niu Honghe's leaders and colleagues, right?" Xu Lang looked at Zhang Lei and asked.

Zhang Lei nodded.

Xu Lang thought for a while and asked, "That master of Niu Honghe, have you ever gone to investigate and visit?" ”

Zhang Lei nodded and said, "We went, but as early as two years ago, this master died of illness." ”

Xu Lang nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Do the factory workers have any other different opinions about Niu Honghe?" ”

"Yes, some people say that Niu Honghe is actually a very old-fashioned and pedantic person, he likes to go online about everything, as long as anyone doesn't do a good job, or meets his requirements, he will be very angry and criticize the other party, and some people say that Niu Honghe is actually a very stuffy person, he likes to sneak into some factory girls, especially beautiful women, of course, there are some other statements, but there is no practical evidence to prove what they say, which is also normal."

Hearing Zhang Lei say this, Xu Lang was not surprised, if everyone in the factory had an excellent evaluation of Niu Honghe, or they were all slanderous, Xu Lang felt abnormal, and now this situation shows that Niu Honghe is indeed an ordinary person, no different from ordinary people, Xu Lang thought about it, and asked: "Then how Niu Honghe and his wife Yu Jie met and how they came together, has there been a clear investigation?" ”

"Yes, Niu Hong and their mechanical processing factory are in the suburbs, and they are all factories in that area, and the electronics factory where Yu Jie worked is also in that area, and it is not far from Niu Honghe's mechanical processing factory, according to the memories of some old employees of the mechanical processing factory, Niu Honghe met Yu Jie on the way to work, and the two often take the same bus to and from work, and they don't see what they look up to see, which can be regarded as a long-term relationship." Zhang Lei continued to report.

After listening to Zhang Lei's investigation results, Xu Lang pondered for a moment, feeling that there was nothing suspicious in it, at least for the time being, Niu Honghe was just an ordinary factory worker, no different from ordinary people.

Seeing that Xu Lang didn't speak again, Ning Yanran looked at Zhang Lei and asked, "Is there anything else you want to add?" ”

Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "No." ”

Ning Yanran nodded, then looked at the others and asked; "Let's talk about the other findings."

Lu Xing saw that the others didn't speak, so he said: "We have conducted a comprehensive visit and investigation of the Lvhua community, and we have also learned some information. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Ning Yanran looked at Lu Xing and said.

"We conducted a survey of the residents of the community where Niu Honghe's family is located, and found that most people are not very familiar with Niu Honghe's family, and the most familiar with Niu Honghe's family is his downstairs and the neighbors on the opposite door, in addition to the property of the community."

"What did you find after the investigation?"

Lu Xing frowned and said: "These neighbors and neighbors actually don't know much about Niu Honghe and his family, they only know that Niu Honghe is a factory worker, and his wife Yu Jie is a laid-off worker, taking care of the children at home, cleaning up the housework, and rarely going out, they occasionally see Yu Jie, and Yu Jie goes out to buy vegetables or throw garbage, or takes their son Niu Jinglun for a walk in the community, Niu Honghe goes to work very early every day, earlier than everyone else, and gets off work later than others, Basically, I don't meet with people in the community, even if the two sides meet, at most they just nod, there is no in-depth communication, and Yu Jie is similar to Niu Honghe, she is also a woman with few words, she is used to being alone, and she is not very willing to deal with other people. ”

Xu Lang came back to his senses and asked, "Then Niu Honghe and Yu Jie have any friends?" ”

Lu Xing shook his head and said: "According to our understanding, their family doesn't seem to have any friends, and the neighbors basically don't see anyone often going in and out of Niu Honghe's house, but even if there is, they don't care too much, after all, this is a city, which is different from the countryside, and there is no such habit of close contact." ”

Xu Lang nodded, not asking anything in the room.

Ning Yanran saw that Lu Xing didn't have anything to say, so she asked, "How is the investigation about Yu Jie going?" ”

The girl who had been looking at Xu Lang stood up and said: "We visited the electronics factory where Yu Jie used to work, and most of the employees who entered the factory at the same time as Yu Jie left, and the remaining employees did not have a very deep impression of Yu Jie, their impression of Yu Jie was basically quiet and did not like to talk, that's all." ”

Ning Yanran frowned and asked, "Niu Honghe doesn't have any friends, doesn't Yu Jie either?" ”

The female criminal policeman looked at Ning Yanran, shook her head, and said: "That's not it, Yu Jie still has two sisters who play well, but after they knew that Yu Jie was killed, the first thing they thought of was not Jiang Zhengye who was burglarized, but Yu Jie, who was suspected of being killed by Yu Jie's husband." ”

Hearing this, not only Ning Yanran became interested, but Xu Lang and the others also raised their heads to look at the new female criminal policeman.

"Oh? Tell me, what's going on? Ning Yanran said.

"When we found Yu Jie's two sisters, they told me that Yu Jie had actually been suffering from mild depression."

"Depression?" Xu Lang looked at her with a frown.

The female criminal policeman looked at Xu Lang and nodded, and said: "Yes, depression, according to them, Yu Jie resigned from the factory since she married Niu Honghe, and started to be a housewife at home, not long after, Yu Jie became pregnant, and successfully gave birth to a son, that is, Niu Jinglun, but the relationship between Yu Jie and Niu Honghe is not very good." ”

"Oh? What's wrong? Xu Lang continued to ask.

"Niu Honghe is a very suspicious person, and he also has a very serious tendency to violence."

"You mean to say that Yu Jie is often subjected to domestic violence by Niu Hong and others?" Xu Lang asked.

The female detective nodded.
