Coming out of the conference room, Nie Qing went directly to the forensic examination and identification center.

Su Jizheng and Chi Xiaojing were talking in the office outside. Seeing him coming, he said before he could open his mouth: "The test results came out. The murder weapon used to kill He Tian is the same as the murder weapon used in several other cases. .”

"Really." Nie Qing was not too surprised, nor did she feel excited, but her heart became heavier.

"What's wrong?" Su Ji asked him.

Nie Qing shook his head slightly, "It's nothing. Have you contacted He Tian's family?"

"Contacted her uncle." Chi Xiaojing took the call, "I heard from her uncle that He Tian sent her parents abroad for a trip some time ago, and now the two elders are still on the way. I tried to get through the phone before, but he will come back tomorrow. Try to make contact."

Nie Qing hummed, "I know He Tian is not married yet, so does she have a boyfriend who is dating? Has his uncle heard anything from her?"

"Probably not, Jinghua asked specifically, but her uncle said that He Tian seems to be still single, because she is too busy with work to care about dating." Chi Xiaojing replied.

"Isn't she the editor-in-charge of "Y Provincial Medicine" magazine? Is the editor busy?" Luo Qi, who had just been hiding behind Nie Qing, suddenly poked his head out and asked.

Chi Xiaojing glanced at him, then looked at Nie Qing, "I don't know if the editor is busy or not, it may be true, or it may be just an excuse she used to fool her family. However, I think it is necessary to investigate The men around He Tian who are close to her, especially this Zhou Jun. Under normal circumstances, a girl should not just take a bath in a married man's house."

"Taking a bath?" Nie Qing looked at her all of a sudden, "Why did you say you took a bath instead of being dragged into the bathtub and killed?"

"Because we detected body fluid residue in the liquid in the bathtub." Chi Xiaojing handed over a report with the names and contents of various chemicals written on it, "In addition, the deceased should not have been dragged into the bathtub, we did not Resistance injuries were detected on her body. Several bruises on her body should be caused when she fell in the bathtub after being stabbed."

"I didn't resist, and even took off my clothes to take a shower... He Tian and Zhou Jun..." Nie Qing gently pinched his chin and said to himself.

Su Ji looked at him solemnly, "Nie Qing, judging from the current situation, the biggest suspect who killed He Tian is obviously Zhou Jun. But, will Zhou Jun be the murderer of this series of serial murders?"

"Until Zhou Jun is found, this matter cannot be determined for the time being." Nie Qing also looked at him solemnly, "Right now, rather than worrying about Zhou Jun getting away with being a murderer, I am more worried that he has also been killed gone."

Su Ji's eyes jumped when he heard this, "Do you think..."

"Well. I think Zhou Jun may have fallen into the trap set by the murderer. If he is still alive, he may be in a very dangerous situation." Nie Qing suddenly grabbed the corner of the table, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

"Nie Qing..." Su Ji looked worried, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I know you are anxious, but it is useless to be anxious right now. The bureau has already arranged a lot of people to go out to find people, and the branches are also there. Help with the search, just wait patiently for the news.”

"Hmm..." Nie Qing responded in a low voice, and the pain in his head began to ache again.

"Nie Qing, Nie Qing?"

In a daze, Nie Qing just realized that Su Ji was calling him, and the next second his wrist was firmly grabbed.

"Sit down first." Su Ji involuntarily pulled him to the side of the office chair, pressed him into the chair, grabbed his wrist and put it on the table, and gently placed his right hand on it.

"..." Nie Qing was speechless for a while, and said in a daze, "Secretary, when did you start giving pulses?"

Su Ji glanced at him, then continued to lower his eyes to feel silently. After a while, he sighed slightly, put down his hands and stared at him, "You should rest."

"I thought you were going to diagnose some intractable disease for me..." Nie Qing smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I know that I am not made of iron, and I will naturally rest when it is time to rest."

"Nie Qing—"

Su Ji wanted to speak, but Nie Qing suddenly made a silent gesture for him.

"Hello, Director Hong." Nie Qing picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

I don't know what was said inside, Nie Qing's expression suddenly became excited, "What?? Found it?!"

"...Okay, no problem! I'll go find you right away!"

"...Well, I wrote down the address, please wait for me for 10 minutes, see you later!"

"Are you going to meet someone now?" Su Jicai asked after he hung up the phone.

Nie Qing nodded, "Finally found a useful clue, I have to confirm it myself."

Su Ji knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he hummed, "Then you go, Xiaojing and I will sort out the complete autopsy report."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Nie Qing left in a hurry after finishing speaking.

Hong Jiajia lives in Room 80, Unit 302, Building [-], Yihuiyuan Community, No. [-] Beijing Road, Panlong District.

Although the name of this neighborhood sounds ordinary, its grade is not low, and it belongs to the relatively old mid-to-high-end residential area in Pingcheng.

Because it was built earlier, the buildings in the first and second phases of the community have only six floors at the highest, and the distance between the buildings is very wide. After parking two rows of cars on the left and right, you can play badminton in the middle, and the buildings are surrounded by lawns.In addition, the early architects did not need to consider too many issues such as saving space and enhancing functionality when designing. All design concepts were based on maximizing the comfort of the residents, so the final house type was very reasonable and the area was spacious. , each duplex house looks like a small villa from the inside.

According to what Nie Qing knew, the housing prices of the first and second phases of the Yihuiyuan community had at least quadrupled in the past ten years, and now it has become one of the most expensive communities in Pingcheng.

Moreover, because there are several government agencies|offices|offices near it, and the geographical location is also good, when the people of Pingcheng discuss privately, they all say that the people who live here are either rich or noble, whether they are rich businessmen or officials, and this It is also true.

The address of the Municipal Public Security Bureau is located at No. 411, Beijing Road. To get to Yihui Garden, you only need to drive straight up.Counting the time spent driving and waiting for traffic lights, it took Nie Qing less than a quarter of an hour to reach the gate of the community.

Perhaps because of the particularity of the residents inside, Yihuiyuan strictly checks the external vehicles entering and leaving the community.

He first asked who he was looking for, asked for his name and approximate length of stay, and registered his license plate number before the security guard at the gate let him in.

Building No. [-] was easy to find. Nie Qing randomly found an empty parking space downstairs. After parking the car, she got out of the car and walked to the door of Unit [-].

Ringing the doorbell of Room 302, Hong Jiajia's voice quickly came from the microphone, "Excuse me, who is it?"

"Hi, I'm Nie Qing."

"Oh good, the door is open, come up quickly." There was a "beep--" sound from the door lock.

Nie Qing went upstairs in a few strides. When he came to the door of Room 302, he saw that the door was open, so he stepped directly into the threshold, and met Hong Jiajia who had just poured tea from the kitchen.

"Director Hong." Nie Qing bowed again to say hello.

"Come and sit down, you're welcome." Hong Jiajia led him to the sofa and motioned him to sit down, then put the water glass in his hand on the tea table in front of him, "Drink some tea——ah, I'm sorry I forgot, Can't you fall asleep after drinking tea at night?"

"No, thank you." Nie Qing was pretentious, so he didn't care about too much politeness, and asked as soon as his butt settled down: "Director Hong, you said that you found the information of the family that adopted Lin Nuan back then. Is it true?" Is it? Where is the data now?"

"Don't worry, the information doesn't have long legs, so it won't run away by itself." Hong Jiajia said with a smile, "Just wait for me."

After finishing speaking, Hong Jiajia walked into the inner room. About half a minute later, she returned to the living room, holding a kraft paper file bag in her hand, and handed it to Nie Qing, "All the information related to Lin Nuan is here."

"Great!" Nie Qing couldn't wait to pick it up, "Can I open it now?"

"Of course." Hong Jiajia smiled and nodded.

After hearing this, Nie Qing quickly opened the file bag, saw a stack of documents inside, took them all out and spread them on the coffee table.

The top sheet of these documents is Lin Nuan's personal information collection form, which should have been filled out by the director Hong Jiajia when he first entered the Star Orphanage.

Nie Qing scanned the content carefully with his eyes, trying to find any information he didn't know, but there was almost nothing of value.

As Hong Jiajia told him and Yu Sheng before, because the group of children including Lin Nuan were directly assigned by the government at that time, the information about their real backgrounds was completely blank, and all the more detailed records were The events since they entered the orphanage, including details of their adoption.

Nie Qing patiently flipped through the pages one by one, and finally, he found a document called "Adoption Information Record Form", which read:

The adopted person's name - Lin Nuan.

Adopter's name—

"This, this is..." Nie Qing stared blankly at the column of the adopter's name, and suddenly froze as if struck by lightning.

"Why...how could it be him..." Nie Qing couldn't help muttering.

Hong Jiajia sighed from the side, "I didn't expect that either. It's been so long, I can't remember the name of the adopter back then. But when I was looking for information for you just now, I saw this name familiar , I seem to have heard of it somewhere, so I asked an acquaintance, but I didn't expect it to be him..."

Listening to her words, Nie Qing felt as if her brain was stuck by something, stagnant, jerky, and unable to function normally.

He really couldn't figure it out.

Why is he?

This thing is outrageous.

This is simply not possible.

Yes, something must have gone wrong.

Nie Qing couldn't help but took a deep breath, swallowed a few more saliva to make her throat less dry, and then asked hesitantly: "Director Hong... are you sure that all the information in these documents is true?"

"It's not true, do you still suspect that I'm fake?" Hong Jiajia seemed to hold the corner of his mouth helplessly, "You are a criminal police officer, just by looking at the paper and ink marks, you should be able to tell that these things are old. I can’t just go back to the old ones just to lie to you, can I? Instead of doing this, I might as well just tell you that I can’t find any information, wouldn’t that be more convenient?”

"Director Hong, please don't get me wrong... I didn't doubt your meaning..." Nie Qing subconsciously clenched his fists, and a corner of the document was crumpled by him. "I just, I just think this is too unbelievable..."

Hong Jiajia couldn't help sighing, "Yes, actually I feel similar to you. I heard that he has another son? If that's the case, why did he adopt another..."

Nie Qing gritted her teeth and didn't speak for a long time, her eyes were only fixed on the name on the form.

On it, in black and white, clearly wrote:

Adopter, Yu Youwen.
