Lu Lingyun and I followed the sound and looked over, and a man in his twenties-five walked in from outside the door.

"Why did Xiao Chen come over so early today? I haven't washed my rice yet. "Dean Liu is very familiar with the people who come, and his attitude of speaking is not at all.

Xiao Chen noticed me and Lu Lingyun, stopped, and asked, "Godmother, do you have a guest?" ”

"Oh~~ This is a police comrade from the Public Security Bureau, come to ask me about Du Baoyu, didn't you often play with him when you were a child? It just so happens that you can talk to Officer Lu and Officer Yan. ”

Lu Lingyun stood up and introduced himself out of politeness, the man said that his name was Zhu Mingchen, and he was also a child who grew up in an orphanage, and returned here to become a teacher after graduating from college.

I looked at this man, tall, thin, and with beautiful eyebrows, like a teacher.

"May I ask the two police comrades, what happened to Du Baoyu?"

"Oh, it's because fifteen years..." I was just about to explain, but Lu Lingyun stretched out his hand to interrupt me, and he didn't seem to want me to continue.

"That's right, Du Baoyu is cooperating with the police to investigate the accident at home that year." Lu Lingyun continued.

The three of us sat on the mazar in the small courtyard and chatted about Du Baoyu, and Dean Liu went back to the house to prepare dinner.

According to Zhu Mingchen, Du Baoyu came to the orphanage when he was nine years old, he was very smart and sensible, and soon became good friends with other children.

Later, the children in that period grew up, and because Du Baoyu concentrated on studying, he left the orphanage at the age of 17 and lived in the university dormitory.

When Lu Lingyun was talking to Zhu Mingchen, I noticed that his eyes kept looking at Zhu Mingchen.

What was he thinking? I'd love to ask right away.

"Teacher Zhu, you have said so much about Du Baoyu, can you briefly tell us why you came here?" Lu Lingyun asked his question, and Zhu Mingchen nodded and replied: "Of course, my parents were killed because of a traffic accident, and they took me to drive back to Mukden from Haijin City, but there was an accident on the highway, the car crashed, and my life changed from that moment." ”

"How old were you that year?"

"Ten years old."

Lu Lingyun looked at him thoughtfully, and at this moment, Dean Liu came out of the room with a book wrapped in brown paper.

The yellowed and crumpled paper was carefully opened by her to reveal the delicate photo album inside.

"Comrade policeman, here is a photo of Baoyu when he was a child, do you want to take a look?"

Lu Lingyun and I went to Dean Liu's side and looked at her old hand to point out the location of Du Baoyu from the photo from fifteen years ago.

In the photo, there are two rows of children standing in front of and back, the younger one is no more than five or six years old, and the older one is twelve or thirteen. It can be seen that Dean Liu was quite tough at that time, although his hair was gray, but his spirit was much better than now.

Among the children in the back row, there is a boy with bright eyes and a smile on his face, it is Du Baoyu, standing next to him who is thin and unsmiling, it is Zhu Mingchen, they are next to each other, and they seem to have a very good relationship.

"Is this you?" Lu Lingyun pointed to Zhu Mingchen's avatar and asked.

"yes, I was more introverted and didn't want to talk at that time."

Lu Lingyun borrowed the photo album from Dean Liu and looked through it carefully, and Zhu Mingchen stood aside and watched quietly.

When the album turned to the last page, Lu Lingyun stood up and said, "Thank you today, we are ready to go back." ”

"Comrade policeman, let's go after dinner." Dean Liu warmly retained, but I thanked her with the thought that I still had work to do.

Because I had been thinking about asking Lu Lingyun for his opinion on the case, I was in a hurry to leave.

Dean Liu and Zhu Mingchen saw us off the courtyard, and Lu Lingyun said a simple goodbye and walked quickly to the off-road vehicle outside the orphanage.

"Brother Lu, how's it going? Is there a clue? ”

"Come with me to Zhou Wei's house, I have to ask him something." Lu Lingyun's decisive answer made me feel excited, he must have found a problem, and now he is about to be verified.

I jumped into the co-pilot seat and followed him to the residence of Zhou Rentian's son Zhou Wei.

It didn't take long for us to find him in a townhouse in a high-end community, which was Zhou Rentian's residence, because there were no people, so a small mourning hall was set up in the living room.

On the mahogany offering table, there are black and white photos of Zhou Rentian, and the tributes and incense are continuous, and Zhou Wei wears a black service to receive some of his father's friends during his lifetime.

"Officer Lu, is there any progress in my father's case?" Zhou Wei wiped the corners of his eyes, and his bloodshot eyes looked at us expectantly.

Lu Lingyun said: "We want to talk to you alone. ”

"Okay, please come with me to the study."

Zhou Wei led the way to the study on the second floor, avoiding the guests downstairs, which was quieter.

I looked around at the study layout, which was still dominated by mahogany furniture, and there were all kinds of purple sand teapots on a circular table.

Remembering that their family is in the tea business, it is no wonder that the room always exudes a faint fragrance of tea.

"Zhou Wei, do you still have an impression of Du Baoyu fifteen years ago? If you meet him on the road today, is it possible to recognize him? Lu Lingyun asked.

Zhou Wei hesitated for a moment and replied, "This... I'm not sure, fifteen years a person has changed a lot, at that time we were both very small, height and appearance like children, but if Officer Lu wants to see a photo of Du Baoyu at that time, my father has kept one here. ”

"Okay, show it to me."

Zhou Wei took out a photo album from the cabinet in the study, and told us that seventeen years ago, the four brothers of Antique Street had traveled to the beach together, and he and Du Baoyu were in a group photo.

Lu Lingyun and I looked at the open photo album at the same time, and a photo with waves and sand in the background stood four big and six small people in turn, four men wearing brightly colored pants, and two boys standing in front of them, each with a happy smile on their faces.

I noticed the face of one of the boys, and my mind went blank.

"Lu... Brother Lu..." By the time I reacted, Lu Lingyun had already made a call, and he gave an order to Jinzi, and a team of all the police officers went to the Fengtian Welfare Institute to arrest Zhu Mingchen.

Lu Lingyun and I also hurried over, and when we rushed into the old house behind the welfare home with the armed policemen, we saw an old man and a young man eating dinner calmly.

Zhu Mingchen served a bowl of hot sauerkraut to Dean Liu, and said with tears in his eyes: "Godmother, I'm leaving." ”

"When will you be back?"

"Maybe... It won't be soon, you take care of yourself, remember to put the electric heater in it and cover it when the mattress is cold at night. ”

"Go early and come back early, godmother is old, don't let me worry about you." The old lady said and gently stroked the top of Zhu Mingchen's head.

The police officers standing around the small courtyard slowly put down the guns in their hands, and Lu Lingyun approached them and took away the man who was crying silently.
