"Okay, it's all up to you."

"Is that right?"

Director Cao didn't say a word about the matter, he had his own considerations, and he promised Liu Li that if he asked her to understand the situation again, it would be after nightfall.

Liu Li once promised Wang Hongbao's grandfather and parents not to tell about the twins, and the Wang family handed over this matter to her out of trust in her.

If it weren't for Director Cao's affection and reasoning, she wouldn't have told Director Cao. Therefore, last night, when Director Cao left the old man's house, the old man specially told her that if she asked her to understand the situation again, she would not let others see it, and she could not tell her wife about it.

Director Cao warmly entertained Zhao Zimeng and his party in a famous restaurant "Swallow Building" in Honghe Town, and then he led Zhao Zimeng and his party to a bathroom called "Yimingtang" to take a bath.

When I came up from the pool, it was already about half past seven.

Everyone quickly got dressed, and then went to Liu Li's house with Director Cao.

Liu Li's family lives in an ancestral hall, the ancestral hall is the ancestral hall of the Wang family, Liu Li's husband Liu Laozhu showed the Wang family the ancestral hall for a lifetime, and the family lives in a corner behind the ancestral hall.

The couple has two daughters, who have already married away from home, leaving the old couple to depend on each other, but fortunately, the couple is not sick or in good health.

Honghe town and Chengdu the same, the common people live a leisurely life, they are easier to satisfy, after nightfall, there are no people on the street, probably because of the special geographical environment, coupled with the special cultural background and special customs, the pace of life here is much slower than other cities, even the speed of people walking is unhurried, calm and calm.

There are a lot of shops on the street, but most of them have closed early, and since there are not many people on the street anymore, there is no need to wait for the occasional customer to come to the door.

Director Cao led everyone around, and in about twenty minutes, Director Cao stopped in front of a building: "This is the ancestral hall of the Wang family." ”

The ancestral hall mentioned by Director Cao is an ancient building, with both wide and high lintels, and the upturned eaves reveal historical information.

Director Cao did not knock on the door of the ancestral hall.

There is an alley next to the ancestral hall, and Director Cao walked into the alley.

There was not a single street lamp in sight on the entire street, and if it weren't for the light coming out of the cracks in the doors and windows of the shops along the street, the whole town would be like hell.

I couldn't see my fingers in the alley.

Walk to the end of the alley – the alley turned out to be a dead alley. At the end of the alley, there is a small door.

"This is the back door of the ancestral hall, and the Liu family goes through this door when they enter and exit."

Director Cao knocked three times on the small door.

After a while, an old man's hoarse voice came from inside the small door: "It's coming—it's coming." ”

Then there were slow, feeble footsteps.

Footsteps are getting closer.

After a while, the door opened, and an elderly man stood inside.

"Daddy Liu."

"Y-who are you?" The old man tried to recognize each other, but it was difficult to see Director Cao's face because the light was too dim.

"Daddy Liu, I'm Lao Cao from the police station!"

"It's Director Cao! You- you must have come to the old woman. ”

"Auntie—is she at home?"

"The old woman went out before dinner and will be back soon. Let's go and sit down inside the house and talk. A family surnamed Wang on Front Street gave birth to a child and invited the old woman there. ”

"Auntie is so old, she still gives birth!"

She wanted to rest, but people wanted to ask her to deliver the baby, and everyone wanted to be lucky - the old woman gave birth to her, and there was never a mistake. The villagers don't hurt people's faces. Director Cao, do you still want to ask about the twins of the Wang family! The old woman never told lies all her life, she said that the thing without twins is the thing without twins. ”

Director Cao looked at Pang Feiteng and Zhao Zimeng; Pang Feiteng and Zhao Zimeng also looked at each other for a moment.

Liu Li's wife's face flatly denied the Wang family's twin sons - she once promised the Wang family not to tell anyone. When sending Director Cao out of the alley, Liu Li told Director Cao the truth, and it was for this reason that Director Cao was able to tell Daddy Liu about the twins, which shows how tight Liu Li's tone is - she even hid her wife.

"Daddy Liu, this time, we want to know some other things, which Wang family gave birth to the child on the front street?"

"It's Wang Fuqing's house at the Kaiyan Hotel on Front Street."

"Okay, then we won't sit, let's go directly to Wang Fuqing's house."

The group said goodbye to Daddy Liu, walked out of the alley, turned right, walked along the street for more than 300 meters, and then passed through a winding alley.

Two minutes later, a street was in front of the alleyway.

Director Cao turned left and walked five or six hundred meters to the east, Zhao Zimeng saw a cigarette hotel, the door panel of the cigarette hotel had not yet been opened, the lights were on inside, and there was no one in the counter. But I could hear people talking and noise, and judging by the sound, the yard was a bit hectic.

Director Cao walked to the counter and said loudly, "Is there anyone?" ”

"It's coming!"

After a while, a man about thirty years old walked out of a curtain in the counter, his steps were hurried, and his face was excited: "Yo, it's Director Cao!" Buy cigarettes! ”

"Wang Fuqing, is Aunt Liu delivering at your house?"

"You're here to find Grandma Liu, in—she's at my house."

"Has the baby been born?"

"Born, it's a boy." No wonder Wang Fuqing looked excited.

"Fuqing, congratulations on your happy son!"

"Thank you, you wait a minute, Grandma Liu will come out in a while, I won't invite you to sit at home, I'll go and urge it." Wang Fuqing said as he slipped into the curtain.

According to custom, when people give birth to children, it is indeed inconvenient for outsiders to sit at home.

About three minutes later, an old lady in her eighties came out of the door curtain, and this person was Liu Li. The old man walked out of the counter and wiped the water on her hands with the hem of her clothes, and there were still some beads of sweat on her head. The silver threads glittered in the light; The forehead and chin are full of wrinkles.

"Director Cao, you must have come for that matter, let's go, find a place to go." The old man was very cheerful, and her voice was very loud, no wonder her body was so strong.

"Auntie, let's go to the police station to talk! These people came from Jingxi on purpose. ”

"Thank you, aunt! It's so late, and we're still here to disturb your old man's house. Zhao Zimeng said.

"There's nothing polite about it." The old man said.

The Honghe Town Police Station is on the west side of the Honghe Bridge, only four or five hundred meters away from the bridgehead.

Director Cao led the eldest lady into his office, everyone sat around the eldest lady, and a young man walked out of the office after making tea for everyone, and closed the office door.

The eldest lady held the teacup in her hand, but did not drink: "Director Cao, what do you want to ask-ask!" ”

"Captain Zhao, tell the eldest lady about the case." Director Cao said.

Zhao Zimeng understood what Director Cao meant, only after letting the eldest lady roughly understand the facts of the case, she would attach great importance to it, and if she attached great importance to it, she would shake out all the things stored in her memory.

So, Zhao Zimeng said the outline of the case.

After listening to Zhao Zimeng's narration, the eldest lady's expression was really serious and solemn, and the first sentence she said once again proved that Director Cao's idea was correct: "Human life is a matter of heaven, and my wife really has to think about it." The Wang family is kind to me, I must say whatever I know, and I will never dare to hide half a sentence. ”

"I think back then, when the old lady asked me to send the child away, I was 10,000 unwilling in my heart, if it weren't for the Wang family's frequent help in life, I wouldn't have agreed to do this kind of thing."

"I have been a midwife for most of my life, and I have seen a lot of children who have been born and raised, and what does he know about the children who have not been born in the womb? How did he become a rebel son of his parents and a troubled family? In my opinion, the more educated people are, the more they should understand human feelings and know the truth. ”

The old man was a very talkative person, and she obviously had a big opinion about the Wang family's behavior of giving the child away. In a way, she has a big opinion about some so-called culture.

The truth is, there are really quite a few things wrong in our culture. Culture does not live in a vacuum, culture is a mirror of people's lives. If the wrong culture is used to guide people's lives and behaviors, the results can be imagined.

"Old man, please recall, is there any special mark on the child you sent away?"

"Yes! As long as I deliver a child, I have to look at it carefully and carefully. I have to look more carefully at the children who are given to other people's families. If the Lord wants to see—or bring back the child, where do I go to find it? ”

"Have you seen both of them?"

"I've seen them all."

"Can you recall any special marks on each of the two children's bodies?"

"Let me start with the child who was taken away, and the child's creaking nest — with a butterfly-like birthmark under the right creaking fossa — is very clear; On his little butt – there are three black moles on the left little butt - and it is also very clear that the three black moles are side by side. ”

"Three black moles are above the groove. A black mole in the middle is at the mouth of the groove, and there is a black mole on the left and right sides. ”

These two marks are too important, with these two very obvious marks, Zhao Zimeng is not afraid that "Wang Hongbao" will not show his original form.

"Old man, please tell me about the child who stayed."
