"Mr. Yao, someone is looking for you."

As soon as the break was announced, a staff member came forward and said to Yao Shuo: "

Waiting for you over there. "

"Looking for me? Who is it?"

As he spoke, he turned around and saw Lu Xingzhi with a dull expression and Wei Zhengrong who was squinting and trying to observe the stage.

Memories that had been buried for 13 years suddenly came out like a flood. Because Liu Meng was killed that year, because he had pursued Liu Meng, and by coincidence of time, he was arrested and interrogated as a suspect.

The person who arrested him was the gray-haired and no longer young Wei Zhengrong.

"Do you have anything to do with me?"

Suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, Yao Shuo took the two of them to an empty seat aside, just wanting to send them away quickly.

"Do you know this person?"

Lu Xingzhi handed the photo to Yao Shuo, "Take a look."

"I know you." Yao Shuo recognized him with just one glance, "My name is Wang Nannan, my employee here."

Finally we have victim information!

Lu Xingzhi and Wei Zhengrong looked at each other, and both could see their hidden joy.

"She hasn't come to the company for two days."

"She didn't answer the call at first, and then she turned off the phone. Why are you looking for her?"

"She's dead." As soon as Wei Zhengrong finished speaking, he noticed that Yao Shuo's figure opposite him trembled.

"Dead?" It seemed like a simple repetition, but also like a confirmation after disbelief.

"Yeah, kill him."

"Before Wang Nannan was killed, did you have any abnormal reactions?" Lu Xingzhi explained: "For example, had abnormal mood, abnormal behavior, or did you say anything strange?"

"No." After thinking about it carefully, Yao Shuo shook his head, "If there's any emotional abnormality, it's just that he's in a bad mood."

"You're in a bad mood? What's the specific reason?"

"It's just a quarrel." Yao Shuo shrugged, "She and I have had sex several times, and she actually naively thought she was my girlfriend."

"What era is this? Why do you have to impose a layer of restraint on something that you and I agree on!"

"What about other than that?" The two of them did not comment on Yao Shuo's words. Lu Xingzhi then asked, "Are there people around you who suddenly disappear for many years and then reappear?"

"Wang Nannan's death is very similar to Liu Meng's death back then!"

"We have reason to believe that the crime was imitated, and the murderer is most likely someone who knew you back then."

"What do you mean?" Yao Shuo looked at Lu Xingzhi with a complicated expression, "Didn't the case of Liu Meng's murder 13 years ago be solved two years ago? The real murderer was sentenced to death. How could Wang Nannan's death be related to this? Get involved."

"And who knew me back then?!"

"What do you mean, the murderer came for me?!!"

Wei Zhengrong raised his hand towards Yao Shuo, who was getting more and more excited, and pressed it down gently, "Don't get excited."

"The murderer most likely did not come for you."

"But Liu Meng 13 years ago and Wang Nannan now are both people you know. Don't you think it's strange?"

"I'm confused too." Although Yao Shuo tried hard to restrain himself, the effect was not obvious. "I am just an ordinary person. I just want to live my life in peace. Why do these things always have to do with me?!"

"Why." Yao Shuo smiled unhappily, "If you don't find any clues here, are you going to take me back and interrogate me all night like you did back then?!"

This matter has always been a knot in Yao Shuo's heart. He recalled that when he was full of love and yearning for rock and roll, he boarded the train to Beijing. Unexpectedly, when he arrived in Beijing, a group of people dressed similarly to him told him bluntly.

Rock? Rock 'n' roll is dead!

Frustrated in love, her dreams cut short, she returned to Nandu City in despair. First, she was arrested by Wei Zhengrong at the Public Security Bureau like a chicken, and then she learned the bad news about Liu Meng's murder, and he was actually a murder suspect.

That night, in the interrogation room of the police station, Yao Shuo just felt that his life was about to end, it was about to end, and he was going to be shot.

Especially the way Wei Zhengrong looked at him at that time, that kind of disgust, disgust and contempt from the bottom of his heart, thinking about it now, he still can't accept it.

"What happened back then." Wei Zhengrong did not hesitate or hesitate. As soon as Yao Shuo finished speaking, he stood up and said in a sincere tone.

"I'm sorry."

"I apologize to you."

"No, it's okay." The belated apology came a bit suddenly, and Yao Shuo, who was full of grievances just a second ago, almost didn't react, "I forgive you."

Wei Zhengrong said nothing and just nodded.

"It's not that you have a problem." Seeing that the matter was resolved, Lu Xingzhi continued: "It's just possible that the murderer is beside you and uses imitation cases to provoke our police."

"This is quite perverted." Yao Shuo carefully thought about the composition of the people around him, focusing on following Lu Xingzhi's prompts, filtering through his mind one by one the people he knew back then and who are still around him now.

"No." Yao Shuo shook his head firmly, "I can confirm it."

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi didn't expect to make any major breakthrough with Yao Shuo. He took Yao Shuo's business card on the table and wrote his mobile phone number on it.

"If you remember anything later or discover anything, you are welcome to call me at any time."

"Why did you remember to change your name?" As the conversation was about to end, Wei Zhengrong asked his question.

"Hi." Putting away the business card with Lu Xingzhi's mobile phone number on it, Yao Shuo laughed to himself and said, "Back then I found a fortune teller and he calculated it, and then I changed my name."

"Good."

"Otherwise, I really don't know what to call you."

"And seeing that you are doing well now, changing your name is the right move."

"Just a casual meal."

……

"He has changed a lot." After returning to the car, Wei Zhengrong looked at Lu Xingzhi with emotion.

"He looked like a beggar back then. When I saw him today, I almost didn't recognize him!"

"People always change." Lu Xingzhi smiled and took out his mobile phone, "Now that we know Wang Nannan's basic information, we need to launch a dragnet search around Wang Nannan."

"I have a hunch."

"We will meet people from back then later."

"I'm quite looking forward to it." Wei Zhengrong expressed his innermost thoughts, "It feels like the lost memories are slowly being replenished."

……

"welcome."

A middle-aged man walked into the flower shop. Wu Jia, who was pruning the flower branches carefully, said, "What flowers do you want to buy?"

"Just take a look and tell me if you like it."

"Your hands are beautiful." The middle-aged man focused on Wu Jia's hand holding the scissors.

"The fingers are long and the knuckles are distinct."

"With your hands, if you paint, you will definitely become a famous painter."

Wu Jia paused for a moment, then put down the scissors and looked at the middle-aged man beside him.

This was a stranger whom I had never seen before. His skin color was rather dark and he must have been exposed to direct sunlight. However, he was well-dressed. The car parked in front of the store was worth a lot of money.

"I just came back from abroad and I'm going to meet an old friend. What flowers do you recommend?"

"Tulips, with lilies and baby's breath." Wu Jia said as he picked out these three kinds of flowers, made a simple bouquet, and handed it to the man.

"what do you think?"

Wu Jia was keenly aware that the man first focused on his hands and then shifted his attention to the bouquet. Obviously, he was much more interested in his hands than the flowers.

"pretty good."

"Just press this and give me a big bunch."

While Wu Jia was bandaging, the middle-aged man continued the topic.

"How about it?"

"Your innate advantages are really obvious."

"If you want to try it, I can recommend a teacher to you."

"Are you teaching painting?" Wu Jia asked casually, "Or do you run a painting organization?"

"None of them." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I just don't want your talent to be buried."

"Although you rarely speak, I can feel that deep in your heart is filled with the breath of art. They are surging, they want to be spread out, and they are not willing to be ignored."

"Let's do it." Probably because it was the first time we met and it would be bad to talk too much, the middle-aged man stopped talking and said, "You can first look for some paintings by famous painters on the Internet."

"Then seriously feel the call from deep within you."

"I believe you will feel it." The middle-aged man smiled confidently, took the bouquet from Wu Jia's hand, and paid for it.

"Remember, the more famous the masterpieces and masterpieces of famous painters, the more clearly you can hear them."

The man who walked to the door of the store left these words and then gave Wu Jia a meaningful look.

"Next time I come over, I hope the two of us can have a good chat about art!"

"Art?"

"draw?"

Seeing the man driving away, Wu Jia lowered his head and looked at his white hands, and suddenly smiled.

"His words make me think of that dead devil!"

"But I really have never met this person. How did he know Zhang Sicheng?"

"In other words, how much influence did Zhang Sicheng have?"

"Does the girl who was killed just now have anything to do with him?"

"Or am I overthinking everything?"

The middle-aged man's plan was successful. He successfully planted a seed called curiosity in Wu Jia's heart. This was a naked conspiracy. Even if Wu Jia didn't believe it, he would still be driven by curiosity. Look up some famous paintings online to confirm.

"Let him do whatever he wants first, and then see what he wants to do."

Anyway, there is a system, no matter how bad the situation is, you can still make it to the bottom, don’t be afraid!

……

"Yang Zhe?!"

Downstairs in the community, Yang Man, who had just returned from get off work to buy groceries, looked at the middle-aged man holding flowers in his hands and said in surprise: "When did you return to China?!"

"No, why didn't you say anything when you came back?!"

"Didn't I just come back a few days ago? Didn't I just sort out everything smoothly and I rushed over to see you?"

Yang Zhe happily handed the bouquet in his hand to Yang Man, "Flowers for reunion after a long separation."

"Oh, it's not bad." Yang Man took the bouquet and looked at it, then joked to Yang Zhe: "It's different after going abroad."

"Everyone knows how to send flowers."

"There are a lot of troubles for foreign little girls abroad, right?"

"It's nothing." Regarding Yang Man's joke, Yang Zhe shook his head and denied it, "Why are you the only one?"

"What else?" Yang Man handed the vegetables to Yang Zhe and asked him to help hold them, "Let's go to my house first."

"This is not the place to talk."

At Yang Man's house, after pouring a cup of hot water for Yang Zhe, she looked at Yang Zhe curiously, "You went abroad very suddenly back then."

"Now that I'm back, too."

"Are you coming back for a visit, or are you not going to leave after you come back?"

"I'm not leaving." Yang Zhe looked around and looked at the group photos on the cabinet, "An Ning is so old."

"No, it's been 13 years, and An Ning is already a big girl."

Yang Man followed Yang Zhe's eyes and looked over. It was a photo of herself, Lu Xingzhi and Lu Anning. The family of three was smiling happily.

"It's been more than ten years, and you don't want another one?" Yang Zhe knew that Lu Anning was adopted, not biological.

"Uncle and aunt didn't rush you?"

"How is that possible?" Yang Man's eyes widened and she said in an exaggerated tone: "It's not like you don't know what kind of people my parents are!"

"Basically, they push me every day. If it weren't for my biological parents, I would have wanted to sever ties with them!"

"It's just because they are your parents that I care about you so much." Yang Zhe said softly, then looked at the time, "Where is your husband? When will you get off work? I'll treat you tonight, let's go out and have a party together. Get together!"

"Xingzhi and I have been divorced for several years." Yang Man felt Yang Zhe's probing eyes and waved her hand indifferently, "Oh, it's so complicated that I don't even want to talk about it."

"You can eat, but not tonight."

"I'm teaching at Night University now. I have classes tonight, so I can't leave."

divorced?

divorced? !

Yang Zhe was distracted by the news. His thoughts were very confused now. Yang Man happened to have classes in the evening, so they left each other's numbers and made an appointment to meet again next time.

"Are you divorced."

In the car, Yang Zhe, who had finally calmed down, raised his head and looked at Yang Man's house through the front glass of the car.

"Then me."

"Is there a chance?!"

Yang Zhe likes Yang Man, and this love has never changed since he was young and ignorant. Back then, because of his hesitation and fear of ruining the more than ten years of friendship with Yang Man, Yang Man and Lu Xingzhi came together.

But now it’s fine, she’s divorced!

There is a child who is not biological!

"So, this time, I won't hesitate anymore!"

Yang Zhe made up his mind with excitement and drove away.

……

"Captain Lu, I thought of a piece of news that might be useful to you."

Back at the bureau, Lu Xingzhi, who was continuing to investigate the target with Wei Zhengrong, received a call from Yao Shuo.

"Nannan told me before when we quarreled."

"She met a netizen online and said that I don't understand her as well as this netizen she has never met."

"She also said that this netizen will come to Nandu City after a while."

"Tell me, did Nan Nan meet this so-called netizen two days ago?"

"Wang Nannan's QQ account also has a password, do you have it?!"

This was an important clue. Lu Xingzhi's intuition told him that finding this netizen might be the key to solving the case!
