After Nie Qing went over to say hello to Su Ji, he went directly to the parking lot of Guanyinshan Cemetery.

However, when he got to the parking lot, he didn't immediately look for Hong Jiajia's car, but went to the place where he parked first.

Inside the car, Yu Sheng was lying on the flattened passenger seat with his eyes closed.

Nie Qing walked up to the car, first lightly knocked on the co-pilot's window twice, Yu Sheng opened his eyes and looked over when he heard the voice, and when he found out it was Nie Qing, he smiled at him, lowered the window and asked: "It has ended?"

"Well," Nie Qing nodded, "I'm going to see Hong Jiajia now, do you want to go together?"

"Go." Yu Sheng sat up while leaning on the armrest, Nie Qing opened the car door for him, and helped him get out of the car slowly, very carefully.

"Ah Qing, you don't have to do this, I'm not so injured that I can't walk." Yu Sheng looked at him and smiled.

"It's hard to say." Nie Qing glanced at him, his hands still holding him firmly.

Yu Sheng knew that he was holding back something to ask himself, so he stopped talking about this topic immediately, and asked as he walked, "Where are you meeting with Hong Jiajia?"

"Go talk to her car." Nie Qing looked around the parking lot twice, and found a white BMW parked near the northeast corner with lights on.

"Is that the white one?" Yu Sheng followed his gaze.

Nie Qing hummed, hugged him and walked slowly, "I'll ask about the orphanage first, what are you going to ask?"

"What I want to ask is also related to the orphanage." Yu Sheng suddenly took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on the bridge of his nose, pushed his head and looked at Nie Qing, raised the corner of his mouth with a smirk and asked: "Ah Qing, don't I look cool?"

"...What are you making a fool of yourself again?" Nie Qing gave him a temperless look.

Yu Sheng licked his lips, pointed up at the sky and said, "Protect your eyes. Our place is one of the four plateaus, and the ultraviolet rays are very strong! It's normal to wear sunglasses."

"...It's up to you, but remember to pick it off when you meet people later." Nie Qing sighed.

"Follow the order." Yu Sheng agreed with a smile.

Because he was carrying a wounded person with him, Nie Qing walked very slowly. It took them a total of 3 minutes to get to the white BMW.

xa h1121.

It is this one.

At this time, Hong Jiajia was reapplying her lipstick facing the mirror above the driver's seat, her slender neck raised an elegant arc, and the movements of her hands were light and flexible.

Seeing Nie Qing and the others coming, she stopped, smiled at them, and put the lipstick into the cosmetic bag calmly, then opened the car door and got out of the car and said to them, "Come in, sit down and talk."

"Okay, thank you." Nie Qing nodded in agreement.

Yu Sheng stared at Hong Jiajia's fair skin and delicate face with almost no signs of aging, and said to Nie Qing quickly and softly before getting into the car: "This aunt is not simple."

Nie Qing looked back at him with restraining eyes, motioning him not to talk nonsense.

Then Nie Qing sat in the passenger seat, Yu Sheng shrank into the back seat, Hong Jiajia handed them a bottle of mineral water from the front, and said kindly: "Drink some water first, moisten your throat, I must not have time to drink just now .”

"Thank you." Nie Qing and Yu Sheng took it at the same time.

"By the way, is this little comrade from the Municipal Bureau?" Hong Jiajia looked at Yu Sheng and asked.

"Oh, he's—"

"That's right, I am." Yu Sheng naturally cut off Nie Qing's words, and said to Hong Jiajia with a smile: "I am the little follower of our team leader Nie, you can call me Xiao Yu."

Hong Jiajia couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Yu's words are quite funny. But if you want me to say it, the saying 'Since ancient times heroes come out of youth' is really true, look at how young you are all, you are already such a powerful criminal policeman gone."

"You have won the prize. I think you are the one who will never give up to a woman. You can make great achievements and be beautiful like a flower. It is really enviable!" When Yu Sheng said this, his voice sounded like singing, which made Hong Jiajia laugh. The look in his eyes became more and more joyful.

At this time, Nie Qing had to clear his throat lightly to prevent them from dragging the topic too far, so he had to get straight to the point: "Director Hong, regarding the purpose of my coming to you today, there are actually some things in the past that I want to talk about." Ask you."

"What happened in the past?" Hong Jiajia withdrew his attention from Yu Sheng.

"The former star orphanage—" Nie Qing saw Hong Jiajia's eyes jump slightly when he finished speaking these words, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled in his heart, but he continued: "We now need to investigate a place that was there before. The information of the children who have been in the orphanage, but now the orphanage has been closed, and the previous information is difficult to find. I know you used to be the dean there, so I want to ask you to see if you can remember the relevant situation, or It’s the material from that time.”

"This..." Hong Jiajia looked distressed, "If you have investigated, you should know that the Star Orphanage was closed 12 years ago. It has been so long, I can't remember many things clearly, and the materials may not be clear. It’s hard to find all of them.”

"I understand that, it's hard to make such a request all of a sudden." Nie Qing lowered his body and looked at Hong Jiajia sincerely, "But Director Hong, we really have no other choice, so we have no choice but to bother you. Can you please help me recall as much as possible, even if there is only a little information, please tell us everything you can think of."

"Then... well, I'll try my best." Hong Jiajia seemed unable to refuse Nie Qing's request, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "What's the name of the child you want to investigate?"

"His name is Lin Nuan. He is a boy. He was seven years ago, and he should have been 12 years old 13 years ago. I don't know exactly when he entered the orphanage and when he left. What I can find so far is The only information I have is name, gender, age and the fact that he had a heart disease, nothing else."

"Lin Nuan...Lin Nuan..." Hong Jiajia lowered her head and repeated the name silently, as if she was thinking about it seriously. It took almost half a minute before she finally raised her head to look at Nie Qing, and said in a deep voice, "I have the child you mentioned. Impression, Lin Nuan, yes, I remember him."

"Really??" Nie Qing recovered instantly, sat up straight, looked at Hong Jiajia with burning eyes, and asked, "What do you remember about him? Do you still have any memory of how he entered the orphanage? No one saw him off? Did anyone visit him after that?"

"Well... I don't know exactly how he got into the orphanage. In fact, when the orphanage was just opened, the life experiences of the first batch of children brought in were very vague, and there was hardly a clear record. Lin Nuan was one of those One of the children." Hong Jiajia sighed softly.

"There are no records?" Nie Qing felt very strange, "Then where were these children brought from at that time? It is impossible to have so many orphans out of thin air, right?"

Hong Jiajia shook his head, "Of course it didn't come out of thin air. They were all adopted in welfare centers in various societies because they had no father, no mother, and no one to rely on. Some of them were even minors from the Public Security Bureau. They were taken from the shelter, their parents had nowhere to go, and they had no relatives to contact. Most of them knew nothing about their own life experience, and they were probably abandoned not long after they were born. It hurts..."

Hong Jiajia’s eyes were already red as he spoke, and Yu Sheng handed over a tissue at the right time—it was pulled out from the cardboard box in the back seat of the car. Hong Jiajia said “thank you” after taking it, and wiped it gently.

"Director Hong," Nie Qing said with a serious expression, "So, you don't know much about Lin Nuan's background either?"

"I'm sorry, I really want to help you, but I really don't know much." Hong Jiajia said apologetically.

Nie Qing nodded, "It's okay, we didn't dare to put too much hope at first, after all, the time has passed too long. But I have one more thing to ask you, that is, after the orphanage closed, where did the children go? ? Do you know where Lin Nuan is going?"

"I understand this better. After all, I personally handled the closure of the orphanage." Hong Jiajia pondered, "At that time, the orphanage was facing closure, and the first task was naturally to arrange all the children in the orphanage. They found a place to live. Because there were not many children, we first mobilized those capable families in the society to adopt them. Fortunately, we found a few kind-hearted families and took away four or five. children, and we have placed other children in other orphanages one after another. If Lin Nuan is concerned, they should have been taken away by a family."

"Great!" Nie Qing couldn't help sighing, and his eyes became excited, "You should still have the adoption records from back then, right? Can you find out who took Lin Nuan away?"

"There should be, but I have to go back and look for it." Hong Jiajia thought for a while, "I still have something to do, if you want, you can tell you after I go home tonight and look for it."

"Well..." Nie Qing really wanted to go to her house to find out this record right now, but Hong Jiajia had already opened his mouth first, so he couldn't ask for anything more, so he could only nod in response: "That's good. , I will leave the contact information to you, waiting for your contact."

"No problem." Hong Jiajia smiled lightly at him, and at the same time Nie Qing handed over his business card, he also gave him his own business card, "If you have any other questions, you can always find me."

"Thank you very much." Nie Qing took it with both hands.

Yu Sheng sat in the back seat and listened quietly for a long time. Seeing that their conversation was coming to an end, he asked, "By the way, Chief Hong, there is one more thing I don't know, and it is convenient for you to disclose it."

"You tell me first and I'll listen." Hong Jiajia seemed to have a very good impression of him, and his demeanor became extremely amiable as soon as he talked to him.

Yu Sheng also gave her a charming smile, "I want to ask you the reason why the orphanage was closed. It is obviously a very good welfare facility, so how can you just close it?"

Hong Jiajia was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and after a pause for two seconds, a little helplessness appeared on his face. He looked at Yu Sheng and said, "No matter how good the facilities are, they need money to maintain them. But at that time, our orphanage was Without strong funding for a long time, the government also said that it is unable to allocate funds to us, and the orphanage has no way to continue to operate...We can’t let the children have enough food and clothing all day long, right?”

"Is it that difficult?" Yu Sheng expressed deep worry, "It must have been very difficult for you at the time, right?"

"Yeah..." Hong Jiajia looked at him, "That was probably the most difficult period of my life. I had endless worries every day, and I was also worried that the children in the yard would finish eating There is no end to this... oh..."

Yu Sheng nodded silently, "It's been too hard for you... You put so much effort into those children. I think you must have felt very uncomfortable when you sent them away in the end."

Hong Jiajia gave a low hum, her eyes were red again, and said slowly: "Every child in the orphanage is like my own. If it is not a last resort, which mother would be willing to send her child out..."

"Who says no? I think even though it's been so long, you should still remember the names of those children very clearly." Yu Sheng's voice gradually lowered.

Hong Jiajia seemed to be immersed in memories, and nodded gently, "I remember... all of them..."

Yu Sheng stared at her intently, his eyes that were originally full of sympathy and caring showed a bit of sharpness.

"Director Hong, then I want to ask, do you still remember a child named Wu Shen?" Yu Sheng suddenly asked softly.

Hong Jiajia paused and looked at him, "Wu what?"

"Wu Shen." Yu Sheng repeated again, "Do you know him?"

"I don't know." Hong Jiajia shook his head.

"What about Chen Fangyu?" Yu Sheng asked again.

"I've never heard of this name before." Hong Jiajia replied without hesitation.

"I see," Yu Sheng smiled, "I see, thank you for letting me know."

"You're welcome." Hong Jiajia also hooked the corners of his mouth a little reluctantly.

"Team leader, I think it's almost done. Do you have anything else to ask?" Yu Sheng then turned to Nie Qing, who called "team leader" so naturally that Nie Qing almost thought he was possessed by Luo Qi.

After thinking for a few seconds, Nie Qing replied: "I have nothing to ask. Director Hong, let's not waste your time. After you finish your work at night, if you can find the previous adoption records, please immediately contact us."

"Well, definitely." Hong Jiajia nodded in agreement, his expression already contained the meaning of "seeing off guests", "Those two..."

"Let's go now." Yu Sheng opened the door of the back seat first, Nie Qing was thinking about his injury, said "wait a moment" and quickly got out of the car and walked to the back to help him, while Hong Jiajia looked at the two of them strangely .

When Nie Qing helped Yu Sheng back to the car, Hong Jiajia lowered the window and said to them, "Is Xiao Yu okay? If you need to go to the hospital, I can take you there."

"No need, just go and do your business, we have our own car." Nie Qing stood aside with Yu Sheng, giving way to Hong Jiajia.

Seeing this, Hong Jiajia stopped being polite to them, started the car and drove away after saying "See you later".

"Ah Qing, how do you feel?" Yu Sheng asked, looking at Hong Jiajia's moving car.

Nie Qing was silent for two seconds before answering him: "The first half about the orphanage didn't seem to be a big problem, but when you asked about her two people later, her reaction was a bit strange."

"Sure enough, you think so too." Yu Sheng's pupils condensed a little, and the sunglasses returned to his face, "In my opinion, she must have not told us the truth in the end."

"Yeah. But who are those two people you asked? What does it have to do with Hong Jiajia?" Nie Qing turned to look at him.

"I don't know if it has anything to do with her. But—" Yu Sheng paused, then smiled again: "If it really has something to do with her, then the matter will be interesting."

Nie Qing couldn't help frowning slightly, "What are you doing mysteriously—"

"Nie Qing."

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Nie Qing, it was not loud or harsh, but Nie Qing and Yu Sheng froze in place at the same time.

"I was halfway there just now, and suddenly remembered that I had something to ask the staff of the cemetery, so I turned back."

Nie Qing turned around slowly, subconsciously tightened the hands around Yu Sheng's waist, and Yu Sheng still stood motionless.

"I didn't expect that I would meet you."

The voice gradually approached and finally stopped in front of Nie Qing.

"Knowing that I'm here, but still hiding on purpose, is that justified?"

Nie Shenxing's eagle-like eyes fixed on Yu Sheng's back.

"Dad..." Nie Qing spoke with difficulty, "Ah Sheng—"

"Don't talk." Nie Shenxing raised his hand to stop Nie Qing, continued to look at Yu Sheng and said, "Ah Sheng, I haven't seen you for a few years, and now you don't even say hello?"

"Ah Sheng..." Nie Qing looked back at Yu Sheng who seemed to be in a trance, and gently shook his hand.

……

Please, you promised me you wouldn't run away.

Yu Sheng seemed to hear Nie Qing's voice.

So, after standing still for a while, he finally turned around slowly.

Nie Shenxing watched him closely, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his body, and he had seen him thoroughly from the inside out.

"Uncle..." Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth.

And Nie Shenxing couldn't help sighing a long time after hearing this, and suddenly stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

"My child... I hope you come back." Nie Shenxing patted Yu Sheng on the shoulder twice, and then hugged him tightly.

Looking at Nie Shenxing's actions, Nie Qing felt terrified, afraid that he would hit Yu Sheng's wound, so she subconsciously said, "Dad, take it easy!"

"What's wrong?" Seeing his nervous expression, Nie Shenxing couldn't help but relax the strength on his arm. Looking at Yu Sheng again, he found that his face was extremely pale under the background of sunglasses, and his body seemed a little unsteady.

"Ah Sheng??" Nie Shenxing hurriedly supported him again, but Yu Sheng still uncontrollably fell towards Nie Qing - until he was hugged by Nie Qing, he collapsed in his arms as if unconscious inside.

Nie Shenxing frowned: "Ah Sheng! This is—"

"Dad, I have to take him back first. I'll talk about the specific situation later." Nie Qing hugged Yu Sheng by the waist, "You go about your business, we'll go first."

"Wait! Nie Qing—"

"Don't worry, we will give you an explanation sooner or later."

After speaking, Nie Qing strode away with Yu Sheng in his arms, leaving his own father Nie Shenxing behind.

Nie Shenxing looked at the backs of the two of them inexplicably and in amazement. He almost couldn't catch his breath, and it took him a long time to recover from the tightness in his chest.

"...What kind of son did I raise?!" Nie Shenxing couldn't help sighing, not knowing which one he was feeling.

On Nie Qing's side, after carrying Yu Sheng into the car and letting him lie down, he drove away from Guanyinshan Cemetery.

After all, they escaped.
