Chapter 40: Determination
Mu Chen was shocked, looked at Cao Chuan incredibly, unconsciously held his breath, and his heartbeat began to rapidize for some reason.
An indescribable complex feeling that made him feel within reach but completely out of touch gripped him. So much so that he had to try to control his voice from trembling: "You say, you mean that the little girl was adopted when she was a child?" ”
"yes, you can't see it, can you?"
Cao Chuan nodded aggressively, although Mu Cheng was shocked, he only felt normal. Because he was shocked when he heard about it in the village before. So he didn't look closely and didn't notice Mu Chen's special abnormality.
He still explained to himself: "I didn't know at first, but I heard them when I went to the village leaders just now. She estimated that it was because of her poor background that she felt sympathy for Chao Fengnian. ”
"That's ...... like this" Mu Chen didn't know what was wrong with him, he walked forward with his eyes blank, and there was a feeling of stepping on clouds under his feet.
"Why do I think you're paying special attention to that little girl?" Cao Chuan glanced at Mu Chen a little strangely. At this point, he finally noticed that something was wrong with him. But he can't say what is different or why it is different. It's just weird no matter how you look at it.
“......”
Mu Chen didn't speak, just silently and walked forward numbly. His mind was completely empty at this time, and he couldn't think of anything.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" No matter how thick the lines are, Cao Chuan can't turn a blind eye to Mu Chen's state. In a hurry, he grabbed him and looked at him suspiciously.
“...... I don't know. I just think the way she laughs is very special like Beibei's childhood...... "I was pulled and stopped." Mu Chen's gaze looked into the distance, and he said in a particularly depressed mood, "How can you say that there is such a coincidence in this world?" But she was also separated from her parents when she was a child? ”
Cao Chuan: "......"
Suddenly, the abnormal picture when Mu Chen faced Ji Beibei before became very clear in his mind. He frowned: "Beibei, Beibei?" Do you think she's going to ......?"
"No, it won't."
Mu Chen shook his head, and without waiting for Cao Chuan to express his doubts, he categorically rejected his unspoken words: "Back then, it was I who watched Beibei with my own eyes...... Cremated. ”
His voice choked. Rao is an iron man who bleeds without tears, and finally couldn't help choking up and crying after saying something at this time.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring this up." A touch of annoyance flashed, Cao Chuan let go of Mu Chen awkwardly, his black and red face was full of apologies, and when he saw Mu Chen crying, he couldn't help but beat his head again, and scolded himself: Tell you to speculate.
Mu Chen's youngest daughter and only daughter all know about their old comrades-in-arms. also knows that her early death is the last pain that the Mu family can mention. And he was a bastard, and he inadvertently revealed Mu Chen's scar like this.
"It's all right...... I don't blame you. It's been so many years, and all the pain is long over. If Beibei had a spirit in the sky, I believe that we would not be willing to stay in sorrow and not be able to get out. Feeling Cao Chuan's chagrin and self-blame, Mu Chen raised his hand and wiped away his tears with a big slap, and whispered in a gloomy voice.
He was comforting Cao Chuan and himself.
Cao Chuan: "......"
He opened his mouth, he really didn't know how to comfort Mu Chen, so he could only walk forward silently.
He also experienced the departure of his relatives and comrades-in-arms, and he deeply knew that the grief that went deep into the bone marrow could not be soothed by any words of comfort.
Seeing off Mu Chen from the railway platform in the county seat, he saw that the sky had darkened, but this did not make it difficult for Cao Chuan, he directly found a small shop to solve the dinner, and walked back by the starlight.
All the way, he was repeating the two sentences that Mu Chen had said--'special like', 'how could there be such a coincidental thing in this world?' But she was also separated from her parents when she was a child? ’
Yes, how can there be such a coincidence in this world?
Mu Chen's youngest daughter "Beibei" was lost. is about the same age as "Beibei", and Ji Beibei, who looks so similar, was also separated from his parents.
If there is no relationship between the two......
Cao Chuan's brows tightened, and he repeated "Beibei" and "Beibei" in his heart hundreds of times. The intuition in his heart that Ji Beibei is "Beibei" is getting stronger and stronger, and it has reached the point where he can't easily ignore the past.
But if you want to find out whether Ji Beibei is "Beibei", you have to find out what the details of the "cremation" of the child Mu Chen saw with his own eyes were before and after?
Although they knew about it back then. But at that time, because Mu Chen was too sad, they couldn't bear to ask what the specific details were, so in fact, they only knew the result, and they didn't know anything about the detailed process.
To this day, just looking at Mu Chen's obvious that he has come out of this matter, Cao Chuan knows that he can ask Mu Chen directly without expecting the details of this matter, and can only rely on himself to investigate slowly in the future.
It may be difficult for others to investigate an incident more than ten years ago, but it is not difficult for him, for his comrades-in-arms who have undergone special training.
It's the distance that's hard.
This is a problem, Cao Chuan himself will not be able to investigate in person for a while, so he can only ask his past comrades to do this slowly, so it will inevitably take a little more time to get the result.
frowned.
Cao Chuan secretly said to himself, "Be patient", and then comforted himself and wanted to spend more time, anyway, this matter was confirmed by himself, even if the final result proved that he was wrong, then he was at ease.
But could my instincts really be wrong about this?
Cao Chuan silently refused to think about those superfluous thoughts that would only affect him. He wanted to act according to his heart, according to his instincts. He trusts his instincts. When he was on a mission back then, how many times he was born and died, it was his intuition that saved him countless times.
And this time he also had a very strong premonition that if he didn't investigate this matter clearly, he would have completely figured it out. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to feel at ease in his life, and he will always keep this matter in his heart.
Determined to investigate, Cao Chuan's brain began to run at a high speed: Mu Chen's youngest daughter had an accident about more than ten years ago, but I don't know when the Ji family adopted Ji Beibei?
There is also the specific process of the Ji family's adoption of Ji Beibei, and I have to figure it out first after I go back.
These are not difficult, and you don't even need to detour around the bend, just ask Ji Kuan directly. In the calculation, Cao Chuan unconsciously increased the pace of the return trip-
