"Xiao Yan, you're here! Or preserved egg and lean porridge! ”

The owner of the porridge shop looked like he was in his sixties, he couldn't find a single black hair on his head, he was thin and thin, and Yang Xiaolan's eyes in the photo at the door were almost the same as him.

Seeing Shen Ke, the boss was shocked at first, as if he had met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, but when the surging emotions came to him, he instantly leaked down, and handed over the order with the order.

Yan Xiulin nodded politely at him, and led Shen Ke and Li Yuan towards the table in the corner.

"See what you're going to eat?" Yan Xiulin said, noticing Shen Ke's gaze.

Seeing her staring at the dense list of missing person notices on the wall, she explained, "Uncle Yang's daughter Xiaolan is lost, and there are many customers in the porridge shop who come and go from the north to see a doctor, all of whom are hard-working people who have lost their children. ”

Shen Ke was not stunned, she sat down, her voice was as cold as ever, "Preserved egg and lean porridge don't want coriander." ”

"Put more shredded ginger in the fish fillet porridge, and then three pork and green onion buns", they came out of the city bureau, and now they haven't eaten a single rice, and they are really hungry.

Yan Xiulin nodded, picked up the plastic kettle on the table, and poured tea for Shen Ke and Li Yuan.

This plastic kettle has been used for a long time, and it is full of tea dirt, and the white and transparent plastic kettle body has turned yellow. The tea is some ordinary old tea, with a lot of broken pieces and a few peppercorns floating on it.

These things in the porridge shop were cooked early in the morning, so they were served quickly, and Yan Xiulin added another plate of braised beef and cucumbers.

"Shen Ke, we saw it when we were children, you probably forgot it."

Shen Ke just scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth, Yan Xiulin's sudden words made her hand pause, and the hot porridge was pressed against the roof of her mouth, making her frown.

"When? If I knew you, I should remember. ”

She has an excellent memory, and she remembers exactly what is different about each stray cat in the community, what its name is, whether it is neutered, and which cat gave birth to it.

Yan Xiulin's name is very complicated and uncommon, and if she knew her when she was a child, there was no reason why she couldn't remember it.

Li Yuan, who was sitting next to him, looked at Yan Xiulin, and then at Shen Ke, and suddenly felt that this small shop was cramped, his long hands and feet could not be accommodated, and the small simple round stool seemed to have a thorn, which pierced people very much.

I knew that he was not greedy for this porridge, and he should have gone home early.

"At Team Chen's house, I wasn't called Yan Xiulin at that time, I was called Li Mu", Yan Xiulin scooped the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, his eyes kept staring at the porridge, and he didn't dare to look up at Shen Ke.

Shen Ke was stunned for a moment and put the spoon into the bowl, "I see." ”

As seen in the dream, Chen Mo took her away from the scene of the murder that day. Her family members all died tragically, and her only relatives were not in the country, so she really had nowhere to go.

Chen Mo took her home without hesitation, and it was not the first time that he had done this with ease.

Shen Ke still remembered that Chen Mo opened the door with a brass-colored key, and the room was filled with the smell of stewed meat, and on the sofa in the living room, there was a boy with red eyes who was wiping away tears.

He looked very cramped, wearing shorter pants in the winter, and the sweater on his body had a hole in it, revealing the woolen head. Next to him was a new set of clothes, but he didn't move.

When the boy saw Chen Mo coming in with a little girl in his arms, he jumped off the sofa excitedly, his feet were covered with chilblains, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain, "Officer Chen, is my sister found?" ”

Shen Ke clearly remembered that the boy's name was Li Mu, and he was an orphan who was adopted.

Chen Mo's wife is a northerner who is very good at making stews, and the bowl for eating at home is bigger than their soup pot.

She had been very sluggish during that time, speaking and acting slowly, and the dishes on the bowl were sharp, and she didn't move a bite.

Li Mu didn't move, he was a little cringe, even if he was caught in the bowl, he didn't dare to move the chopsticks, and only ate the sauerkraut.

Seeing Shen Ke staring at his dishes, he hurriedly sandwiched all the dishes in the bowl into Shen Ke's bowl, "Sister eats, I don't eat." ”

Shen Ke lived in Chen Mo's house for a period of time, during which he learned the story about Li Mu from everyone's words.

Li Mo grew up in an orphanage before she was three years old, and was later adopted by a family surnamed Li. The couple had been married for many years without getting pregnant, and they treated him well at first. But after giving birth to her sister Li Yangyang, the whole thing changed.

The Li family is an ordinary family, farming in Yuanshui Village, Nanjiang City, and their family background is very ordinary.

At that time, the Chinese New Year was still very important, especially the people in the village, who had to grind tofu and fry fried tofu at home, and also beat glutinous rice and braised vegetables, and prepare to worship ancestors or something, so busy that it could be said that their feet did not touch the ground.

The matter with Li Yangyang naturally fell on Li Mu's head.

The mountain is the children's playground, and when Li Mu took Li Yangyang to play on the mountain, he lost his sister. He was already walking on thin ice in that home, and something like this happened.

The Li family and his wife felt that he was deliberately trying to harm Li Yangyang, so that he was the only son of the Li family again, and they hated him very much.

No matter what Chen Mo said, they were unwilling to take Li Mu back.

Chen Mo was also afraid that Li Mu would be beaten by the couple when he went back, so he picked Li Mu back to his home.

Some things seem to be sealed in a glass jar, usually left there and not visible, but as soon as the lid is opened, all the memories come to the surface.

Shen Ke retracted his thoughts and looked at Yan Xiulin in front of him.

Rao is there is no way for her to overlap the wild child Li Mu back then with Yan Xiulin, who is like a noble son in front of her.

"Did your sister find it later?"

Later, the little uncle rushed back to China, and Shen Ke was picked up, and Li Mu was still living in Chen Mo's house when he left.

Yan Xiulin's eyes dimmed a little, and he shook his head, "No." ”

Li Yuan, who was next to him, listened to the conversation between the two, and only wished that he had stealth skills.

This kind of childhood acquaintance is obviously the beginning of idol dramas, but he always feels like a clerk who witnesses Shen Ke when he interrogates criminals, and he has been playing this role this week.

"The group you are talking about is not the group of Nanjiang colleagues in our group where only Qi Huan is allowed to join, right?"

Shen Ke asked again, obviously her tone was still very flat, but Li Yuan inexplicably heard a little resentment.

Yan Xiulin nodded lightly, "Hmm." It is a group looking for relatives, and Lao Yang is the leader of the group. I've been looking for my sister for so many years. It was in the vicinity of the processing plant that she was lost. ”

"We communicate with each other in the group, and once we hear that a child is missing, or there is news of a family member, we will send it to the group, and people in the vicinity will rush over. I was nearby and went right away. ”

"I know it's not my sister, but it's a blessing to be able to find someone else's lost relative."

Lao Yang, who was sitting in front of the cash register, pricked up his ears, saw Shen Ke looking at him, pretended to be busy, and moved the QR code on the table from here to there, and from that side to this side.
