Qiao Shen didn't answer Lao Wang's question immediately, because he felt that there was no option in this matter. He was taught since he was a child that the Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. It is a matter of course to be held accountable for crimes, and it does not differ because the other party is his father. There is another reason, that is, he believes in his father's personality just like Lu Qian believes in Lu Wei.

Lao Wang didn't have to get an answer from Qiao Shen's mouth, he just wanted to see the other party's attitude. As soon as he asked, he felt that he was thinking too much. Just now, Captain Qiao talked to Director Lu about the marriage certificate photo in the car, and he was relieved to live a good life with Director Lu, and he would definitely handle this matter properly.

Based on his trust in Qiao Shen, Lao Wang led Qiao Shen upstairs. He rented an old-fashioned neighborhood, on the edge of the city, and the rent was cheap. The narrow passage could barely accommodate the bodies of two people, and Qiao Shen followed him up to the fifth floor.

The residual wind blew across the walkway, and the footsteps echoed with it. The dilapidated voice-activated lights faltered, flickering on and off. Lao Wang scratched his head embarrassedly, opened the door and welcomed people in.

"My daughter-in-law must have picked up the child, you can sit casually." As he spoke, he took out a small wooden box from under the bed. The box is locked, and the key is placed at the bottom of the wardrobe.

Lao Wang took the key, dusted the box with his sleeve, and then took out a small gray and white machine from it like a treasure.

Qiao Shen took a closer look before he saw the three words "repeater" that had been erased by the years.

Lao Wang took the cassette tape in the box and put it into the repeater, "When I passed by the guest room, the repeater forgot to turn it off, and there was a short conversation I recorded at that time. And this ......"

Lao Wang took out a newspaper from the treasure box, the content of the newspaper was the day of the Digdonst fire, and there was a photo in the lower left corner, which was a photo of the rescue carried out after the fire brigade arrived at the scene. There is a circle drawn with a red marker in the photo, and in the circle, Luo Xinyi, who has long hair, squatted on the ground, holding a little girl of seven or eight years old.

The girl wore cute pigtails and a powder blue princess dress. The facial features were very blurry, but Qiao Shen still recognized it at a glance, this was Lu Qian from childhood.

Lao Wang pointed to Luo Xinyi and said: "At that time, when my mother and I took Wang Lixue to the Public Security Bureau to report the missing person, she was also in the bureau. I heard her identify Mr. Luk with my own ears. ”

Qiao Shen was just about to put the newspaper away, but he was slapped by Lao Wang.

Lao Wang flipped over to the other side of the newspaper. The fire accident that year caused a sensation throughout Star City and occupied two large pages of Star City Daily. On the photo in the lower right corner of the other page, a red circle was also circled by Lao Wang with a marker. Inside the circle is a young woman with short hair. Because the cameras are very close, the woman's facial features are very clear.

Lao Wang said: "This is Luo Xinyi's good friend, I don't know what her name is, but she was the first person to escape from the guest room." She should know who actually set the fire. ”

Lao Wang frowned and continued: "After I recognized this woman, I squatted in front of Luo Xinyi's house for a while, and this woman may have fallen out with her and never been to her house once. ”

Afraid that Qiao Shen would misunderstand, Lao Wang immediately explained, "I just squatted at the door of her house, I haven't even seen her, and I definitely haven't done anything illegal." ”

Qiao Shen patted him on the shoulder, "I know. ”

Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief, "All the evidence I know is here, and I don't know if it's useful." ”

"Thank you." Qiao Shen said, "I will do my best to find out the truth and give Lu Qian an answer." I'll tell you if there's any progress. ”

"Good, good." Lao Wang agreed repeatedly.

Sending Qiao Shen away, sending away these secrets and evidence that had been buried for many years, Lao Wang suddenly felt relieved and felt relieved.

Qiao Shen tinkered with the repeater in the car, the first half of the tape was the content of the English textbook, and there was a bell for the end of class and the noisy shouting on the street. Lao Wang should have been busy after school and forgot to turn off the repeater, and recorded the content after a mistake.

After a while, he finally entered the topic, and the first voice was Qiao Hao's roar, "Luo Xinyi, calm down, even if you don't think about yourself, you also think about the child in your belly!" ”

Qiao Shen pressed the pause, and the first sentence stunned him......

What is a baby in the womb?

Qiao took a deep look at the timeline, when the fire broke out in Digdons, Luo Xinyi and Zhu Zhenggang were not married. And the child in her belly...... Is it a blessing?

Joe took a deep breath and continued listening.

Luo Xinyi's voice trembled slightly, and said, "Why? Why won't you let me go? I've said it all, the baby in my womb is not yours! I said break up! I'm going to break up with you!! ”

Qiao Hao gasped, "What points, if you have something to say......"

Before Qiao Hao finished speaking, Luo Xinyi yelled: "What do you want me to say, I said that we can't have results......"

Luo Xinyi was excited, and another male voice suddenly interjected, "Don't do it!" Comrade, don't get excited!! ”

Listening to this "comrade", Qiao Shen concluded that the person who spoke to persuade him at this time should be Lu Qian's father, Lu Wei. Then there was a crackling sound in the repeater, and the excited voice of Luo Xinyi's friend, "Don't make any noise!" ”

Then there was a bang on the ground, like the sound of a door closing, and then it was gone, presumably the tape's memory was full.

Qiao Shen listened to it seven or eight times over and over again, and his eyes became more and more heavy. Until Lu Qian sent a photo: [I got the bank card, the day after tomorrow, the fire brigade will compete, I will return to the team tomorrow, are you going to get it yourself?] Or should I send it to you? 】

Qiao Shen replied: [Let's put you there first! I just changed my password not long ago, and it was the day I met you this year. 】

Lu Qian had just returned to the army at this time, and he was busy with a lot of things, so he didn't have time to reply to information.

Qiao Shen stared at the old newspaper for a long time, and finally made a phone call to Zhu Xingci.

Zhu Xingci had just flown back from New York, and he was still jet lag at home, and when he heard Qiao Shen say that he had something very important to find her, he was completely sleepy. opened the wardrobe and picked out a short woolen skirt, and before he got on, he remembered the moment when Lu Qian draped the leather coat over his shoulders. She shook her head as hard as she could, shaking the image out. picked out a thick coat and wrapped it, and brought Lu Qian's leather coat by the way.

Qiao Shen sent the location of the private club, Zhu Xingci passed by the hall, listened to the magic sound of his ears, and frowned when he entered the box: "Why don't you make an appointment at your house if there is something important?" ”

"Shallow won't let me open the door to the other girls in the middle of the night." Qiao Shen handed her a cup of hot water and motioned for her to sit down.

Zhu Xingci didn't feel good in his heart, and said sourly: "Before you get married, the tutor is so strict!" ”

"No way, soft ears." Qiao Shen went straight to the point, closed the door, cut off all the noisy sounds outside, and put the content of the repeater to Zhu Xingci.

After hearing this, Zhu Xingci frowned physiologically and said, "Since I was a child, my father told me that I was a premature baby and lived in the incubator for more than two months...... It turned out that I wasn't born prematurely. ”

After speaking, she looked up at Qiao Shen helplessly, "Is my focus wrong?" ”

Luo Xinyi said that the child was not Qiao Hao's, but listening to the content and tone, this child was clearly his!

Zhu Xing didn't believe it, she turned on all the lights in the room, lowered her head and rummaged in her handbag. Qiao Shen just wanted to ask her what she was looking for, but she took out a small mirror and pointed it at him, "Look, we don't look like each other at all, no, not at all!" You tell me we can't be brother and sister! My mom and your dad...... No! Impossible!! ”

Zhu Xingci was too excited, and accidentally tripped over the corner of the table during the action and fell directly to the ground.

She can accept that Qiao Shen doesn't love her, but she can't accept that Qiao Shen is related to her. Because once it is confirmed that Qiao Shen is her half-brother, it means that her mother, as a junior, destroyed Qiao Shen's family. It also means that the mother deceived her father and played with this honest man, creating the illusion of a happy family for her. It also means that all her cognitions will be subverted.

Her beloved mother will become an unscrupulous third party; Her beloved father had no idea that she was a mother and someone else's child; Even the man she loves the most has become a half-brother.

How would she accept this?

Just before Zhu Xingci completely collapsed, Qiao Shen reached out to her, bent down to look at her, and asked, "The paternity testing center that Zhou Muyi introduced you to last time, can you trust it?" ”
