I immediately reacted, why I always felt that I had seen Aunt Tan's photos before, but I couldn't remember it, Aunt Tan said that I had seen Xiang Zhongyi that day, and it was the last time I saw him before he went to the mountains to teach.

I remember Aunt Tan said that Xiang Zhongyi was equal to the same township at that time.

……

Why did Xiao Bowen appear in the same place, is it a coincidence?

"You are most familiar with the files and dossiers of this series of cases." I hurriedly turned around and asked Yun Duruo. "Do you think about it, do you have any records of Xiang Zhongyi and Nian Weimin when they were young?"

"When you were young......" Yun Duruo thought for a moment and shook his head. Because they are related to Mu Hanzhi's death, and both of them became rich and promoted after Mu Hanzhi's death, so the focus is on the two of them during this time, and they didn't investigate when they were young...... Why investigate when they were younger? ”

"Xiang Zhongyi and Nian Weimin appeared in Mu Hanzhi's room at the same time, there must be something in common between them, we haven't found this point, did we ignore their previous time period." I said thoughtfully.

Yun Duruo immediately sat up from the bed after hearing this, the wound on her back was pulled too hard, and it hurt very much, she gritted her teeth and said.

"Someone will come to destroy the evidence tonight, and everyone else we can think of can also think of it, the assumption you said is also reasonable, without further ado, we will immediately go to Zhongyi and Nian Weimin's house, they may have known each other from the beginning, but we didn't know it, maybe we can find it in their old photos before."

I nodded and changed my clothes and immediately helped Yun Duruo and Han Yu to go to Xiang Zhongyi's house, it was already early in the morning, and it was Xiang Zhongyi's wife Zhong Lan who opened the door to us, I was a little surprised to see that we came so late, Yun Duruo showed his ID to explain his intentions, and Zhong Lan let us in.

After sitting for a while, Zhong Lan took out a stack of photo albums, saying that all the photos of Xiang Zhongyi were in it, and the three of us carefully flipped through these albums, and when the thick stack of photo albums was read, we suddenly realized a problem, Xiang Zhongyi's photos only started from going to the mountains to teach, and before that, we didn't find a photo of him in the past.

It seems that Xiang Zhongyi is deliberately avoiding the previous things, we asked Zhong Lan, she said that she also asked Xiang Zhongyi why he didn't have a photo of him when he was young, Xiang Zhongyi said that he was lost when he moved, and Zhong Lan also felt very sorry but didn't take it to heart.

"Did you hear him mention a friend or classmate from his youth?" I looked at Zhong Lan and asked seriously.

"No, he doesn't seem to mention the past, and the friends and classmates he came and went with were from his college days, but he hadn't heard him say it before." Zhong Lan thought about it and shook her head and said to us. "I also asked him why he didn't see him have a small hair or something, and he said that he was estranged after too long and no contact."

Yun Duruo took out Nian Weimin's photo, handed it to Zhong Lan and asked seriously.

"This person, do you have the impression that he came to Xiang Zhongyi?"

"......," Zhong Lan looked at it for a long time and slowly shook his head. I don't have any impression, if I have come to the house to look for him, I must remember, this person has never been, never, but I have seen a picture of this person. ”

"You've seen it?!" I was stunned and hurriedly asked. "When have you seen it?"

"One night when he came back, he was restless, and he slept until midnight to go to the study to smoke, and I was worried that he was not in good health, so I poured water for him." Zhong Lan thought for a moment and said to us. "When I went in, he was very panicked and packed up the materials on the desk, and a photo was exposed and I happened to see it, and the photo was this person, and I saw that he closed a case file."

Hearing this, I somewhat understand that Xiang Zhongyi is director of the department can of course have access to the homicide information for the first time, and he should have read the file of Nian Weimin's murder case at that time, perhaps because Nian Weimin's death made Xiang Zhongyi feel uneasy when he remembered Mu Hanzhi's matter, which shows that the two of them know each other.

But Xiang Zhongyi obviously deliberately hid the photos before going to the mountains to teach, the more a person hides something, the more he cares, it seems that before going to the mountains, Xiang Zhongyi desperately wanted to hide and avoid things.

We said goodbye to Zhong Lan and left from Xiang Zhongyi's house, and I suddenly turned my head and asked before Zhong Lan closed the door.

"What is Xiang Zhongyi's ancestral hometown?"

"Daiyue Township, Pingliang County, Shanxi Province......" Zhong Lan frowned, halfway back to the thought and shook his head. After he was transferred to the Judicial Bureau, his household registration was also transferred here, and he rarely heard him say about his ancestral hometown, and he didn't go back, but when he first got married, where did they have customs, and they wanted to go back to their ancestral home to worship their ancestors, I went to him once, and the time was too long ago to remember Daiyue Township, as for what village I can't remember......"

"Yong'an Village, is it?" I suddenly asked from the side.

"......" Zhong Lan thought about it again, his eyes lit up and he nodded quickly. Yes, it's Yong'an Village, I glanced at it when I went to the ancestral hall, I remember what you said...... You, how do you know? ”

After getting into the car, Yun Duruo and Han Yu looked at me with the same puzzled eyes, and they also wanted to know why I knew Xiang Zhongyi's ancestral hometown.

"There is only Xiang Zhongyi's current household registration record on the file, his ancestral home has not been investigated, and I should have seen the case information and progress I have seen, why don't I know Xiang Zhongyi's ancestral home?" Yun Duruo asked curiously.

I took a deep breath, lit a cigarette, took a puff, rubbed my forehead, and replied thoughtfully.

"I don't know Xiang Zhongyi's ancestral hometown."

"Then how can you say that?" Han Yu looked at me curiously after hearing this.

"It's another person's ancestral home." I looked out the window and felt an inexplicable surprise in my heart.

"Who's?" Yun Duruo and Han Yu asked in unison.

"Xiao Bowen!"

"......" Yun Duruo stepped on the brakes and turned his head to look at me behind the car. Xiao Bowen's ancestral hometown...... Xiao Bowen and Xiang Zhongyi are from the same place?! ”

"When I was in college, because Duan Hong was my teacher, I studied all the forensic forensics that Xiao Bowen handled, including his resume." I nodded silently and said lightly. "When Zhong Lan said that address just now, I suddenly remembered?"

Xiao Bowen is Mu Hanzhi's chief forensic doctor, and the cause of his death is more or less related to Mu Hanzhi, and Xiao Bowen and Xiang Zhongyi are from the same village, theoretically they should know each other, and these two people are related to Mu Hanzhi's death.

"You said that Xiang Zhongyi participated in the murder of Mu Hanzhi, and Xiao Bowen was in charge of the autopsy, is there any connection between this?" Yun Duruo asked suspiciously when he returned to driving.

"It should be a coincidence, Xiao Bowen has been dead for more than 20 years, according to what you said, there is no connection between Xiang Zhongyi and Nian Weimin, and he can't prove anything if he knows Xiang Zhongyi." Han Yu said next to him.

Maybe it's a coincidence, I tried to keep myself from thinking nonsense, now the only hope is pinned on Nian Weimin's home, our car is parked in Nian Weimin's villa, and it is An Caiwen who opens the door, she knows us, Yun Duruo bluntly said that he wants to look at Nian Weimin's previous photos.

An Caiwen was very cooperative, although it was already early in the morning, she still let us in, and when she came out, she also held a lot of photo albums, but her expression was very indifferent.

"I haven't taken care of his photos, no one wants to see him, it's all here, I hope there is what you need."

The three of us looked through the photo album next to each other, and the result turned out to be the same as the photo album in Xiang Zhongyi's house, Nian Weimin began to have more photos after his career, most of them were ostentatious, but before his career, there were few photos.

I have seen Nian Weimin's file, he studied chemical engineering in college, and he has not had a stable job after graduation, and later found a career in warehouse storage.

"Did Nian Weimin mention anything before he went to college?" Yun Duruo asked seriously. "Or did a friend from the past come to him?"

"How can a person like him have friends, he has never been sincere to anyone, and his so-called friends later are just exchanges of interests, they are all a group of friends who drink and meat, he never mentions the past, and I don't bother to ask and don't want to know."

I agree with what An Caiwen said, how can a person who can hide the murder weapon with malicious intentions treat people with sincerity, Nian Weimin's eyes only have mercenary use and coercion.

After checking the album, we were all disappointed, there was no result we expected, Nian Weimin, like Xiang Zhongyi, seemed to be deliberately avoiding and hiding the past, and when he got up to say goodbye and leave, Nian Weimin's daughter Nian Yaqi came out of the room.

"There's another photo I don't know if you're useful."

Nian Yaqi took out a crumpled photo and told us.

"One night when Nian Weimin hid home, she was thirsty to drink water, and saw Nian Weimin sitting alone in the living room in a daze, looking very panicked and holding a photo in her hand, she didn't want to pay attention to Nian Weimin, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of Nian Weimin lighting the photo, and then threw it behind the ashtray to go to his room, Nian Yaqi was curious for a while, so she picked up the photo that had not been burned, and saw that it was just a group photo, she felt that Nian Weimin cared about this photo very much, so she hid it."

As a result, Nian Yaqi handed over the half-burned photo, and raised her head excitedly after just looking at it.

The photo shows a group photo of two people, one is Nian Weimin and the other is Xiang Zhongyi, with the sea on the cliff in the background, the waves in the distance crashing against the rocks, and seagulls flying behind them.

This is the background of the photo taken by Aunt Tan, she said that she had seen Xiang Zhongyi at that time, and Xiang Zhongyi said that he was waiting for his fellow villagers.

Judging from this photo, the person who is waiting for Xiang Zhongyi is Nian Weimin, and this photo has confirmed that the two of them know each other.

I looked down at the photo again, and was surprised to find that this was not a group photo of the two people, Xiang Zhongyi was standing in the middle, Nian Weimin was standing to his right, and there was another person to his left, but unfortunately the photo had been burned.

"Who else is it?" Yun Duruo said with some disappointment.

I slowly raised my head, my mouth opened slightly, and after my Adam's apple squirmed, I took out the photo of Xiao Bowen from Xiao Jiayu from my clothes and covered this half-burned photo.

The background of Xiao Bowen's photo is the lighthouse, but it happens to be coherent with the background of Nian Weimin and Xiang Zhongyi's group photo, my eyes fell on the seagulls in the background of the group photo, which are three seagulls flying to the left, and in Xiao Bowen's solo photo, the three identical seagulls appear in his background, just above his head.

This is a photo taken on the same day, Aunt Tan said that Xiang Zhongyi is in the same village, and Xiao Bowen happens to be from the same village as him, it is obvious that Xiao Bowen's single photo was taken after the group photo, because the seagull just appeared in the background at that time, presumably after the group photo was taken, Xiao Bowen took this single photo, so the seagull just flew over his head.

The person who was burned in the group photo was Xiao Bowen.
