Three years ago, on the day of Lian Xu's 15th birthday, he received a letter from BNP Paribas.

The letter stated that the bank had previously been entrusted by Lian Hai, the sole guardian of Lian Xu, to donate an education fund to him on his 15th birthday.However, the way Lian Hai chose to hand over the gift was face-to-face, and Yu Sheng had just entrusted Wu Shen to bring Lian Xu from Chen Fangyu's subordinates to him. The serious injury was not healed, and he couldn't even get out of bed, so the matter of going to the bank to handle the handover was put on hold.

Later, when Yu Sheng got better, he thought about it again, but firstly, he was not short of money, and secondly, Lian Xu himself was very resistant to going to school. Both of them had no need for this education fund, and Lian Xu felt that it was his uncle. The last thought left to him before he died, once used, it will be gone, and he is even more unwilling to take it back.Gradually, I stopped thinking about the money.

"I had brain surgery at that time. At the beginning, I had severe headaches every day, so I didn't have time to think about many things at the time. I should realize that Xiao Xu is the only thing Lian Hai misses in this world. Man, he wants to entrust Xiaoxu to me, and knowing that I need that clue, he will definitely establish a connection in it." Sitting in front of Lian Xu and Nie Qing, Yu Sheng said annoyedly.

"Third brother, what do you mean, my uncle put the clues together with the money?" Lian Xu asked.

Yu Sheng nodded, "Although I'm not sure yet, I guess I can't be wrong."

"Then let's go get it back quickly! Tomorrow—oh no, we'll leave tonight, and get it early tomorrow morning!" Lian Xu's loud words touched his wounds, and Nie Qing and Yuan Qianqian who were standing by could see His face twitched instantly due to the pain, but he clenched his teeth tightly, not revealing any strangeness in his voice.

But Yu Sheng has already rejected it: "No, how can you leave now like this, take good care of it first. You have been waiting for so many years, not bad for a few days."

"That's right, we still have a lot of things to do now. First sort out all the clues we have already got, and then it's not too late to get new ones." Nie Qing said in support.

Lian Xu tried his best to suppress his trembling breathing due to the pain, and stared at his left hand that was clutched on the quilt so hard that the knuckles turned white. After waiting for a long time, he finally forced a "hmm".

Yu Sheng smiled at him, "That's right, a good boy is one who is obedient." After speaking, he turned to Nie Qing and said, "Ah Qing, can you accompany me to the director's office? I want to ask Xiao Xu When can we get out of bed, let's plan the next arrangement."

"Okay, I'll take you there." Seeing that Yu Sheng had something to say, Nie Qing put on his coat and led him to the corridor outside the ward.

"He just...was in pain, right?" As soon as he left the ward, Yu Sheng couldn't hide the pain on his face.With his current hearing which is more sensitive than ordinary people, how could he not have noticed the strangeness of Lian Xu just now.

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from him, Nie Qing sighed: "The effects of the painkillers should have passed, and he can't keep taking them. He has to bear it by himself during the day."

Seeing Yu Sheng hang his head down, Nie Qing stretched out his hand to hug him gently, and asked in a low voice: "What about you? You must have been in pain at that time, right?"

"Me?" Yu Sheng thought about it for a while before realizing it, and said with a forced grin: "It's really not a pleasant experience to have an operation on the head, but luckily I've made it through, and I'm fine now."

Can you call it okay now?

Nie Qing wanted to ask, but couldn't ask.The words turned into another sentence: "It would be nice if I was by your side."

"Aren't you here now?" After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he put his head on his shoulder and leaned against him quietly.Nie Qing didn't speak any more. After waiting for about 3 minutes, Yu Sheng raised his head and said, "Let's go to the director."

Everyone is struggling.

Who doesn't want to be safe and happy with the people he cares about, and have a peaceful time?

But everyone has something to do.

Even if it means risking your life and possibly losing someone important to you, you cannot stop.

Both timid and fearless.

This may be the most contradictory but also the most shocking part of human nature.

At [-] o'clock that night, Mu Xi Ze and Su Ji came together, and Yu Sheng had already arranged manpower to guard around the ward to prevent suspicious persons from approaching.

The air conditioner in the ward was fully turned on, and it was very warm. Su Ji yawned loudly as soon as he entered the room, and said while taking off his clothes, "This atmosphere is too suitable for sleeping."

"Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest first?" Mu Xi Ze asked from behind.

Su Ji waved his hand, "The past two days have been peaceful, I haven't started work, how can I be tired from sitting in the office all day. I'm just feeling emotional."

"Let's all sit down." Nie Qing begged for two single sofas from another ward in the afternoon, and now they are placed around the coffee table, pointing to Mu Xi Ze and Su Ji to go inside.

"Have you eaten yet?" Yu Sheng asked while sitting cross-legged on the long sofa.

"I bought McDonald's on the way here." Su Ji said, looking at Lian Xu who was lying on the hospital bed, "Won't our talking here affect him?"

"No, he just took his medicine and painkillers in the afternoon, and he is fast asleep now, and he won't wake up even when thunder strikes." Yu Sheng said.

"That's good." Su Ji didn't ask any more questions, and walked to the single sofa near Yu Sheng's side and sat down.

"Where do we start?" Musize asked straight to the point after taking his seat.

Nie Qing had already discussed with Yu Sheng in advance in the afternoon, and at this moment he said without hesitation: "Divided into three lines, in chronological order. The three lines are Lin Nuan - Fu Mingjie - Neigui, Qiu Luxin - Jiaoshi - Chi Xiaofei—Chen Fangyu, and Yu Dui—Su Yongdeng—Chen Fangyu—the inner ghost. I am most familiar with Lin Nuan's case, so I will start with this one. If you need to add something, feel free to call break me."

Mu Xi Ze and Su Ji nodded, and because Yu Sheng had agreed in advance, he just sat quietly with a concentrated look.

Nie Qing took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and began his narration.

"We all know that Lin Nuan is the illegitimate son of Fu Mingjie's biological father Fu Bin and his lover Lin Miaoqing. When Fu Mingjie graduated from the third year of junior high school, both Fu Bin and Lin Miaoqing fell to their deaths. Lin Nuan became an orphan and was sent to the star orphans at that time. The dean of the hospital is Hong Jiajia. According to my speculation and Yu Sheng's, it is very likely that Fu Mingjie established contact with the police ghost for the first time at this time."

"So early?" Su Ji asked back, frowning.

Nie Qing nodded: "It's just speculation, but we think we are [-]% sure. At that time, they should have only had contact with each other, and they haven't developed a later affiliation relationship. I suspect that Fu Bin and Lin Miaoqing fell from the building at that time. It was pushed down by Fu Mingjie's biological mother, but the police closed the case as an accident, there is no guarantee that there is nothing tricky about it."

"Do you suspect that the inner ghost was one of the police officers in charge of this incident?" Su Ji asked.

"That's right. And since the case was closed by accident, the police station within the jurisdiction can handle it, not even the sub-bureau. The scope is actually very small."

"but?"

Nie Qing met Su Ji's inquiring gaze, and sighed, "The Fumin Street Police Station of Dongze District, where the incident belongs, claimed that the files had been lost. When I pressed them repeatedly, they said that they might have been handed over to the Dongze District Bureau for storage. I went there again. Dongze branch, the other party told me that all the old files have been handed over to the Provincial Public Security Department, and the public security department usually keeps the files of accidents for no more than ten years—that is to say, even if this file is not lost, it may have been long ago. Dealt with."

"Since the file cannot be found, what about the police officers who worked at the police station?" Mu Xi Ze asked.

Nie Qing shook his head, "I've thought of this too, but I don't have enough authority. If I entrust someone else to make the adjustment rashly, I'm afraid it will arouse the other party's vigilance."

"Leave this to me, I'll try it." Mu Xi Ze's eyes were deep, as if he had an idea.

"You?" Nie Qing did not hide his doubts, "I also have a master hacker here, and he can't find out, how do you find out?"

Mu Xi Ze lowered his head slightly, "Don't forget, this person may be my own father."

Nie Ting was startled when he heard this, and then he seemed a little apologetic, "Are you going to ask Hong Jiajia directly?"

"Don't ask about the specific method. Anyway, I will try my best to find out." Mu Xi Ze turned his head to the side, obviously not wanting to expand on this topic.

Nie Qing stopped asking, and continued with what he said just now: "In short, after Fu Bin and Lin Miaoqing passed away, Fu Mingjie has been secretly taking care of Lin Nuan until Lin Nuan was adopted, and the adopter should also be the wife ghost--"

"I said," Mu Xi Ze suddenly interjected, "Can we change the name? Don't be old 'inner ghost, inner ghost', he is my father after all."

"Then what do you call it? Mysterious man?" Yu Sheng laughed to himself after speaking.

Su Ji glanced at Mu Xi Ze's perplexed expression, and said lightly, "Don't we usually call the target 'suspect' when investigating a case, can we still call it that?"

"En." Mu Xi Ze responded, "Xiao Ji, thank you."

"Nothing." Su Ji said.

Nie Qing cleared his throat: "Okay, let's call him the suspect. After the suspect adopted Lin Nuan, Fu Mingjie must have completely used it for him. Then, seven years ago, the suspect offered Lin Nuan an operation as a condition. Instigated Fu Mingjie to attack Team Yu and Officer Liang." At this point, Nie Qing secretly glanced at Yu Sheng, seeing that he didn't respond, and then continued: "Then three years ago, Lin Nuan died of an operation accident, and Fu Ming Jie began to prepare a revenge plan. Until October of this year, he began to officially implement his plan. The relevant personnel who operated on Lin Nuan were killed, and Fu Mingjie himself was shot and killed by an unknown gunman after committing the crime. Now We already know that Bai Zhang was killed by Chen Fangyu's subordinate Kang Ge. Then, among the series of serial murders, the only one whose murderer is not sure is the case of He Tian."

"The person who killed He Tian was also Brother Kang." Mu Xi Ze said suddenly.

Nie Qing's eyes jumped suddenly, and his tone was a bit aggressive: "You recognized the person in the surveillance video at that time, but you kept it secret?"

"I just told you about Bai Zhang. He Tian has nothing to do with me. Why should I say that." Before Nie Qing got angry, Mu Xize said: "But that was before. Now, Naturally, I will tell you everything and say everything.”

Nie Qing wanted to give him a punch, held back and said: "So, Chen Fangyu really helped people to the end. In order to confuse Fu Mingjie, he did not hesitate to let his own people commit two murders in a row. How can Chen Fangyu help him if he has grasped the insider - the suspect?"

For a while, several people fell into deep thought, but no one could think of a reason that was enough to convince themselves.

"I don't think it's useless to dwell on this issue, why don't we talk about it first?" After a while, Yu Sheng suggested, "Let me be the keynote speaker this time. My dad will start to investigate the case of cross-border organ smuggling and trafficking. Now that it is in my hands, it can be regarded as inheriting the father's business." Yu Sheng said and shrugged and smiled, but the smile was bitter, "I will send you an electronic version of all the detailed investigations over the past few years. There are too many, let me pick the key points first."

Then Yu Sheng took out a dark blue pen from his pocket and held it in his hand. He didn't intend to write anything, but he felt confident with something in his hand. He is now tracking down this criminal gang that smuggles people across the border and sells organs. He should have found out at that time that this gang was involved in the drug gang that my mother undercovered, so the two of them may have communicated in private. When I was undercover, I also helped find clues to organ trafficking. However, the undercover matter is top secret, and my parents are very well-behaved people. At that time, they must have the approval of the superiors before conducting cross-investigation. And this approval investigation The leader, most likely, is the suspect we are looking for."

Mu Xize had previously communicated and discussed this case with Yu Sheng countless times, and was not surprised by what he said.Nie Qing kept silent for the time being because the family members involved couldn't speak up.Only Su Ji heard this for the first time, and asked a little strangely: "Why did you use 'possible' instead of 'certain'? If your parents were really framed back then, then at the same time, you would know your mother's undercover identity and cooperate with your parents in the investigation." Isn’t the superior of the police who approved the matter the first suspect?”

When Nie Qing heard this, she turned her face to the other side in embarrassment.

Yu Sheng didn't know if he sensed it, because they were sitting on the same sofa, he stretched out his hand and lightly pressed Nie Qing's leg, and said to Su Ji: "The most suspected person is indeed my mother's direct leader back then—the City Bureau. The captain of the Economic Investigation Detachment, and the commander-in-chief of the "June 6 Operation"—the captain of the Ministry of Narcotics Control." Yu Sheng felt the muscles of Nie Qing's thighs under his palm slightly tightened, and he patted it twice, and healed. Fa said cautiously: "However, such doubts are too obvious. Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, I now feel that with the level of these two people, they should not do such things that are obviously harmful to themselves. "

Seeing Nie Qing's reaction, Su Ji already guessed about half of it, and thoughtfully did not expose it, nodded and said: "It makes sense, the direct leadership is indeed suspicious, but this does not mean that other people are not suspicious at all."

"Although I appreciate your optimism, it's better not to be too sentimental about this kind of thing." Mu Xi Ze added lightly at this time, looking at Nie Qing with deep eyes, "To be honest, as long as there is For any other possibility, I don't want to be related to you by blood. But now the biggest suspects are Nie Gongping and Nie Shenxing. Nie Qing, you and I have to face this matter squarely."

"Who said I didn't pay attention?" Nie Qing clenched his fist, and after a while, he let it go.

"I admit that my father...and my uncle are the most suspicious. I can accept them as the main suspects for investigation." Nie Qing paused, "I just hope that everyone can remain objective. Everything speaks with evidence."

"That's natural." Mu Xi Ze nodded.

Feeling the stagnation in the air, Yu Sheng let out a breath pretending to be relaxed, and said with a smile: "Before the matter is settled, what we have to do is to keep collecting evidence, don't think too much about it. The actions of this group of people are very secretive. In the past two years of my own investigation, all I have found are superficial, and only recently have I gradually come into contact with the core. This is also thanks to Caesar."

Mu Xi Ze could hear that Yu Sheng wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he said smoothly: "Don't be so polite, just help each other. I know that Chen Fangyu and my master didn't do these things in a day or two, but even in my capacity, it was very difficult before. It is difficult to get in touch with their real "business line". Originally, I discussed with Yu Sheng and wanted to take this opportunity of surgery to investigate their specific transaction process and methods, but I didn't expect such bad luck. It was a special case among special cases. "Although Mu Xi Ze's tone was calm, both Nie Qing and Su Ji could see the pain in his eyes.

"It can be preliminarily confirmed that the place where they usually perform surgery is in that private hospital in Ho Chi Minh City." Yu Sheng took over, "This is consistent with the information that Nishizawa provided me before. The sources of organs are basically orphans, no I'm sure it's not only from our country, but as long as they come from the country, they should be selected from the Fanxing Orphanage. Doing this kind of thing requires extremely strong confidentiality. It is not easy to completely control an orphanage. I don't think They will also deploy multiple 'supply points' at the same time."

"So, they took those children abroad first, and then removed their organs?" Nie Qing asked, frowning.

Yu Sheng hummed, "But one thing is different now. According to the information Nishizawa gave me, when my father investigated this case, most of the children they took out of the country were disabled. Disabled children abandoned by their biological parents are adopted from all over the society. But now, almost all of the children adopted in Fanxing Orphanage are healthy children in all aspects. This feeling seems to have changed from passive 'casting the net' to active 'raising' '. Their 'industrial chain' has become more complete, mature and decisive."

"This transformation should have started with Chen Fangyu." Mu Xize stared at the floor, "I went back today and thought about it carefully. I have known him since we were in the orphanage. At that time, apart from me, he was mainly Mixed with Wu Shen and two other boys. He is the second oldest among the four. Although Wu Shen is the eldest, Chen Fangyu usually takes care of the two younger brothers in life, so his relationship with them is also important. More recently. Later, I was adopted by the Mu family, and I basically lost contact with the orphanage, except for occasional contact with Chen Fangyu."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of nostalgia in Mu Xi Ze's tone.

For the rest of their lives, they knew that he hadn't finished speaking, so they didn't open their mouths, and they still listened quietly.

"Actually, he wasn't such a ruthless person." Mu Xi Ze's voice was a little hazy, as if he had fallen into memory. "After the orphanage was closed, a small number of children adopted by the star orphanage were well-behaved and were absorbed by this criminal gang. Four of them were Chen Fangyu. However, Wu Shen chose another path later, but I don’t know much about him. All I know is that about four or five years ago, an accident happened—of course, it might not be an accident when I think about it now. In short, in that incident, Chen Fangyu’s two most beloved younger brothers were both He disappeared. Since then, his temperament has changed drastically, becoming perverse and cruel, even a little crazy. We used to be friends. But since then, he and I have been running in opposite directions and drifting away. Now, I have I can't understand him at all."

"When you say that, I think of another thing. I heard people in the organization say that because of the disappearance of these two boys, Chen Fangyu and Wu Shen had a complete falling out, but then somehow reconciled. This What happened in the middle?" Yu Sheng's face was full of doubts, "Besides, you just said that the transformation started with Chen Fangyu, did he take over the organ trafficking line after that incident? Where is their original boss?"

"I don't know. He didn't tell me about the details. But it's true that after that time, they acted more proactively and boldly."

"Do you think Chen Fangyu's actions are related to his own life experience?" Wen Ting's figure appeared in Nie Qing's mind, "If Qiu Luxin and Chen Fangyu are really brothers, why did Chen Fangyu grow up in an orphanage? Seeing how generous he was with Wen Ting, Wen Ting shouldn't have abandoned him back then. Then he was abducted? Because of his childhood experience, he later became so cruel to other children?"

Mu Xi Ze shook his head slowly, "Then I don't know. I only found out about his life experience today."

"If we can know what happened inside them back then, maybe it will be helpful to solve the case. But it's hard to say..." Nie Qing lowered his head, thought for a while, looked at Yu Sheng, and asked, "Ah Sheng, Is there a way for you to get some news from Wu Shen?"

"I can try. I was not interested in what happened between them before, so I never asked about it. It's not that Wu Shen refused to tell me." Yu Sheng said.

"Okay, but you must be careful." Nie Qing shook his hand.

Just as he was talking, Nie Qing's cell phone rang.

"Brother Zheng!" Nie Qing's nerves tensed up when he saw the caller ID, and quickly pressed answer and speakerphone: "Brother Zheng, is there any progress?"

"Jiao Shi's identity can basically be confirmed." Meng Zheng cut straight to the point and said very seriously: "I found out that the person originally planned to be sent by the ministry to Pingcheng as the captain of the anti-drug detachment should be a man named Lu Wei. Third-level police superintendent. But half a year ago, he was reported for corruption and bribery. The inspection team went to his house to find a large amount of cash, but he disappeared. Because the rank is not low, the Ministry suppressed this matter and absconded in fear of crime. The premise is to conduct a secret investigation, but no one has been found until today. Qiu Luxin went to Pingcheng instead of him, and I think this may be the motive for the murder."

"Half a year ago..." Nie Qing murmured, "But the death of the charred corpse was two months ago. Where was he in the middle?"

"Kidnapping, fuck?" Meng Zheng's joints could be heard through the microphone, "If Lu Wei confirmed his death before Qiu Luxin was transferred, would Qiu Luxin still be able to leave? ? Based on my guess, Qiu Luxin should keep Lu Wei imprisoned somewhere, until he thinks the time is right, and then kill him to silence him."

"Wait—" Su Ji didn't know this paragraph before, but now his face turned pale when he heard it, "Is the identity of the Jiao corpse really a policeman? Qiu Lu just killed it?"

"Although there is no conclusive evidence yet," Nie Qing sighed heavily, "it is probably true."

Meng Zheng continued: "You told me that the colleague who was killed wanted to check the personnel transfer files of the Municipal Public Security Bureau before he died, right? If I'm not wrong, the usual process for such an important personnel transfer is relatively fast. Early, Lu Wei's process must have been mentioned early in the morning, but it was suddenly changed to Qiu Luxin in the middle, and relevant records will definitely be left in the file. If Qiu Luxin is really the murderer, he must be afraid that you will see these documents and become suspicious. on him."

Nie Qing thought of Chi Xiaofei lying in the morgue with his limbs mutilated, his chest suddenly seemed to be blocked by a huge stone, and he couldn't make a sound.

"Nie Qing, all the speculations are reasonable now, but there is no evidence. I can only provide you with the information I can get, but you can't save the fire if you are far away. What you have to do and investigate is up to you. If there is anything that needs my help here in city a, just ask, and I will help." Meng Zheng vaguely heard someone calling him, so he hurriedly said, "Call me if you have anything to do", and hung up the phone.

"If you want to confirm whether the murderer of the Jiao corpse case is Qiu Luxin, it is best to confirm the identity of the Jiao corpse first. However, this is no longer possible. We have no way to confirm that the Jiao corpse is Lu Wei through genetic testing. In this way For one thing, with Qiu Luxin's quality as a professional police officer, it may be difficult to find evidence." Su Ji said worriedly.

Seeing that Nie Qing was still silent, Mu Xize rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, leaned on the back of the sofa and said quietly: "This is the end of the third line. But why do I feel that the more you sort it out, the more complicated the situation will be?" gone."

Yu Sheng closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. His whole body slowly deflated like a balloon, and finally collapsed on Nie Qing's lap.

"I'm dying." He groaned.
