While reading the report, I went through all the information related to Huaqiao Town, and many people and many things exploded in my mind, such as mudslides, white bones, Xiaohai's hometown, Xia Dongyi's hometown, Zhou Hong...... Thinking about it, a vague and clear thought swept by, and in an instant I felt that my heart was hit by a blunt object, and I almost died of pain.

It hurt so much that I could barely breathe, and my soul was about to fly away.

Yafeng didn't find out that I was wrong, and I was still yelling there, saying that if I calculate the time, Zhou Hong ran to the burial site to burn paper money is what happened on the night we left Huaqiao Town, and the woman was 100% related to the case or something, and she must have been frightened so she showed ......

He froze suddenly, closed his mouth and stretched out his two hands to help me and call my name, his voice trembling, sharp and sharp: "Nier, Nier, Nier, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!" Nier......"

They helped me into the sofa in the reception room and sat down, wiped the tears on my face with a tissue, and patted me on the back at once, seeing that I couldn't react for a long time, I was in a hurry, and was about to call an ambulance, when Wang Dongsheng suddenly walked in. The medical examiner is also a doctor, and they quickly called him to see what was wrong with me.

Wang Dongsheng checked my pupils, took my pulse, and asked Yafeng what happened just now. Yafeng was so anxious that he was incoherent, and he reported the situation of the report in a daze, Wang Dongsheng snatched a few pages of fax materials and glanced at them twice, and then drove out all the redundant people, leaving only Yafeng by my side, then locked the door, walked to me, squatted down to keep his eyes level, and asked me in a low voice if the report involved someone we knew.

I opened my mouth to speak, but found that my throat was so dry that I couldn't make a sound at all. Wang Dongsheng drank and ordered Yafeng to pour water, he crawled and crawled back again, the full cup of water spilled all the way back and only half a cup was left, Wang Dongsheng took it, carefully fed me to drink, gently stroked my back, and calmly told me not to worry, take my time.

I sat for about ten minutes before I finally recovered, and when I recovered, the sadness in my heart was even more turbulent, and tears rained down.

Yafeng was so anxious that he called me with trembling lips. I looked at him with sad eyes for a moment, tried to squeeze out a smile, and told him to go out first.

He refused, and was pushed outside by Wang Dongsheng and then locked the door. I knew that he didn't go away, and he must be listening by the door, so I gestured to Wang Dongsheng to put his ear to my mouth, and said to him in a suppressed voice: "You go to my house, go to the bathroom on the second floor, take Xiaohai's toothbrush or comb, do a DNA test, and then go to the mortuary of the Weizhi County Public Security Bureau to make an identification of the skeleton that was washed out of the mudslide in the first month of this year, and compare it with Xiaohai's DNA results, hurry up." ”

Wang Dongsheng instantly understood what I was talking about, his face turned pale, he didn't expect this to be the case at all, and his eyes were straight.

I took out the key to the house from my bag with a shaky hand and gave it to him, he was not worried about my condition, but he still took the key and left, walked to the door and put Yafeng in, and told him to take care of me.

Yafeng was so frightened by me that he couldn't say anything but ask me what was wrong. I took a deep breath and hugged him hard, saying I was tired and wanted to lie down for a while. He helped me lie down on the couch, and then pulled a chair and sat quietly beside me.

As soon as I closed my eyes, the pictures of the past came flooding back, and when I arrived at Zhou Hong's house that day, she stood at the kitchen door with a bowl of soup, and as soon as she saw us, the bowl fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces. What frightened her at that time was Yafeng's police uniform, which I had thought of a long time ago, but I ignored it. When I left after asking, I walked into the yard, and I looked back again and saw that her eyes were glued to Xiaohai's back, and there were tears in her eyes. I thought of the cigarette stick and farewell letter that Xiao Hai brought from the wine master's house, and the letter was clearly a woman's handwriting. I thought at the time that Uncle Xiu must have met with an accident, and the person who hurt him didn't want his wife and family to spend the rest of their time looking for him, so they pretended to be his identity and wrote a farewell letter back, hoping that Xiaohai's mother could forget about him and live again, but because I was afraid of this sad result at that time, I didn't want to think about it deeply, so I didn't contact Zhou Hong at all.

The white bones that were washed out by the mudslide, nine times out of ten, Uncle Xiu would not be wrong.

The worst of the thousands of guesses, this world is like this, what are you afraid of, you won't be lucky at all.

I think that it should not be Zhou Hong who hurt Uncle Xiu, but Xia Dongyi.

He and Uncle Xiu are both from the "娂" organization, and in Huaqiao Town, they are both outsiders, and then they both left.

It's all connected.

I have carefully inquired about the chronological order before, it was Xia Dongyi who came to Huaqiao Town first, and Uncle Xiu arrived there after a few years. When Xiaohai was ten years old, Uncle Xiu disappeared, and not long after, Xia Dongyi left, basically in such an order.

The general situation deduced from this should be that Uncle Xiu came to Huaqiao Town to find Xia Dongyi, but I don't know why, he hasn't found it, he may not have seen Xia Dongyi before, according to Li Wei, the Palace of Eternal Life is very large, there are tens of thousands of people in the entire organization, and the number of people who can meet often is very limited. And there was no Xia Dongyi on that old group photo, he may not have played an important role when he was in the Palace of Eternal Life, so Uncle Xiu didn't know him, and he searched for many years in Huaqiao Town before he finally found it, and at this time, the two of them had already started their own families and had children.

Then it was the night that Xiaohai remembered the most, she heard her father tell her mother that he went out for a walk and came back soon, but he never came back.

I now judge from a series of clues and Zhou Hong's exposed feet that he went to look for Xia Dongyi that night, but was killed by Xia Dongyi, and moved his body to the hillside behind the bamboo forest at night, until he was washed out by a mudslide more than ten years later. Zhou Hong must have witnessed the whole killing process and maybe participated in helping, she is not a cruel person, she is full of guilt about it, she can't see Xiaohai's mother looking for her husband everywhere every day, so she forged a farewell letter and sent her the cigarette stick that Uncle Xiu brought with her, hoping that she could let go of this husband and live again.

Xiaohai said that when she was in school, Teacher Zhou Hong treated her very well, often asked her to eat at her house, and was one of the few people who rarely treated her well.

That's because of guilt and guilt.

I still burst into tears with my eyes closed, and my heart was spasming. I remembered the nightmare I had in the first month of the year, when the cactus on the balcony was gone, and there was a bloody head in the flower pot, it was Uncle Xiu, who looked at me with a pair of very sad eyes.

Thinking back to the good treatment of Uncle Xiu in the past, I was so sad that I couldn't help myself, I clutched my chest and howled, Yafeng fell from the chair, squatted and hugged me, Nier, Nier, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, okay.

I cried out loud, a little hoarse, and I said Yafeng, how are we going to tell Xiaohai that his father is gone.

Yafeng didn't understand what I was talking about at all, he was so stunned that he couldn't even shout, he just looked at me stupidly.

I cried for a long time.

He was stupid for a long time.

After the mood finally eased up, I called Fu Yuxin and asked him to change someone to investigate the white bone case in Huaqiao Town, Yafeng couldn't do this.

Fu Yuxin agreed immediately, and asked me who would be more suitable to replace me, Liu Yimin or Hu Hailian. I thought about it and said Hu Hailian. He reassured me and arranged it immediately.

After receiving the assignment, Hu Hailian immediately transferred the file and studied it carefully, and only came to me after figuring out the facts of the case and the situation before and after, and I asked her to go to the communication company to call up the call records of Zhou Hong's landline and mobile phone in recent months, focusing on the last few numbers to see where they were calling. She nodded. Then he wiped away his tears for me, moved his lips to say something, but he didn't say anything, looked at each other with pity, asked Yafeng to take care of me, got up and went out.

At this time, Yafeng finally understood the reason, the white bone he had been checking for so long was the father of Xiaohai, who talked to him affectionately every day. The blow was too big, like a bolt from the blue. He refused to accept this fact, kept shaking his head there, muttering to himself: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, there is no such coincidence in the world, it must be wrong, mistaken, impossible, impossible ......"

I said: "Whether it's or not, it's impossible, in short, I have to talk to Xiaohai first, no matter what, let her be mentally prepared, can't wait for the DNA test results to come out and stuff something into her hand, she can't stand it, and no one can stand it." ”

Yafeng burst out crying, playing like a child, kicking his feet and yelling: "How can I tell her, she can stand it in advance?" I don't say it, if you want to say it, you go and say it! No, I have to wait for the results to come out, I don't believe that it can really be so coincidental, where in the world can I find such a coincidental thing, I don't believe that you must be mistaken. ”

I couldn't explain it to him clearly, and I couldn't explain it, I thought that I could only face it myself, but I really wanted to tell Xiaohai that her father was dead, and he had been buried not far from home for so many years, and I couldn't open this mouth, I couldn't open this mouth, and I must have cried to death before I said anything. For so many years, I have been waiting for Uncle Xiu to come to see me, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, I have also felt abandoned, and I have wondered if it will be because he doesn't want to care about me anymore and doesn't want to pay attention to me anymore.

I felt dizzy again.

At this moment there was the sound of wild footsteps on the stairs, and it was the old lazy man who rushed into the reception room in one breath, crouched down and looked at me anxiously.

I don't know who is so kind, I called him to inform him of my situation and asked him to come to see me, it should be Hu Hailian, that girl is bold and careful, and she is very good at taking care of people.

I let the lazy man hug me.

So he sat down on the sofa and hugged me hard for a long, long time, for a long time, until he heard Xiaohai's heavy and slow footsteps.
