When the green light ahead turned on, Zhao Dongdong turned the steering wheel and rushed to the back seat and said, "That is to say, if you find this person who is related to Zhao Xingui and has the word cloud in his name, then you should be able to know something about it, right?"

Xie Jing and Bai Ye in the back seat looked at each other without speaking.But they all knew that what Zhao Dongdong said was not unreasonable.People like Zhao Xingui mentioned at the time were unlikely to have access to the so-called power-for-money transactions, but she mentioned that she had a business in her letter to Xiaoyun.What is behind this business, since it is not directly stated, does it prove that everything is possible?

Zhao Dongdong thought for a while and said, "Do you think the business Zhao Xingui mentioned is arms smuggling?"

Xie Jing, "..."

white night,"…………"

"Oh, I'm serious, this is the conclusion I came to after careful consideration. You see, she died outside inexplicably, with Sand Eagle's bullets on her body, could it be because she resells/ammunitions, and then divides the spoils Unbalanced, or private possession of goods, was the family sent someone to solve it?"

Bai Ye said lightly, "She is a girl who came out of an orphanage, and she is often a woman doing odd jobs. Where did she get the goods? Can you tell me something useful."

"It's not impossible for someone else to give it to her."

"Do you think it's convenient for her to hide drugs on her body, or to hide a gun? Don't talk about bullets. If you don't have a gun, you can use bullets to dry your hair. If you have a gun, you won't be able to get bullets? Besides, arms brokers will find such a person to help transport goods? "

"But near the border, reselling/arms is indeed much easier than drug trafficking."

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, most of the reselling/ammunitions were done by sea, getting the goods, loading the ship, and invoicing. Arms brokers generally had two-handed insurance, shipped the goods according to the destination, and found a customer to hand over the bill by the way.And for large cargo ships, the inspection will not be so careful.Seriously speaking, although you will be killed if you catch it, the risk of arms smuggling is indeed much smaller than that of drug trafficking.Moreover, most of the arms are supplied by foreign countries. If you encounter a small country, it may be fine if you catch it.

What's more, not every border is guarded, and everyone knows that there may be some special items in those containers.

Moreover, small domestic border workshops can also supply soil quality in batches, although most of them keep the quantity but not the quality.But as long as the money is more, the quality is not a big problem.

The major drug dealer groups that have been active in the border triangle for a long time, when they go shopping, don't they just see who has the most guys.

Xie Jing muttered, "Although that's the case, Gonghai's side is not the border. And it's too troublesome to do arms business here, not to mention the inspections at various checkpoints. From ordering to delivery, compared to Those who directly ship to Hong Kong, the risk of overdue here is too great, and it is very likely that the final payment will not be received. Therefore, most smuggling arms brokers will not choose to do business with the inland, the source of customers is unstable, delivery is difficult, The quality is wrong, or the delivery is wrong, and there is a lot of back and forth, and the transportation fee may not be earned.”

Zhao Dongdong, "..."

Xie Jing glanced at Bai Ye, "Of course, I always think that money can turn ghosts around."

Bai Ye patted his head, "Okay, good boy, squint for a while."

Xie Jing, "..."

Special situation office area of ​​Gonghai Municipal Bureau.

Just arrived at the parking space, Bai Ye opened the car door, "There is no problem with this investigation direction, but apart from the people from Gonghai, I am more inclined that the Xiaoyun mentioned in the victim Zhao Xingui's letter is from Jin'an." People I know, and from the few words in her scrap manuscript, this Xiaoyun is likely to belong to that orphanage." He strode into the office, took out his mobile phone, and checked the latest flight from Gonghai to Jin'an today information.

Xie Jing followed behind him and asked, "Are you going to Jin'an?"

When he mentioned Jin'an, his tone was steady, but he didn't have much emotional ups and downs.

Bai Ye turned around, looked at him in astonishment, and then nodded in Xie Jing's inquiring eyes, "It's been a long time, and we can't delay any longer. Since I said that the information from Jin'an is unclear, I think it is still necessary to personally I'm going for a run."

Xie Jing hardly hesitated, "Then I will go with you." His voice paused, and he looked at Bai Ye, "Is that okay?"

Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, nodded, and turned to Zhao Dongdong, "Contact the local police in Jin'an near the orphanage, and arrange to go to the orphanage where Zhao Xingui is located as soon as you get out of the airport."

Zhao Dongdong quickly responded, "Okay, then you can send me the flight information later, so I can arrange it."

"Okay." Bai Ye grabbed the ID with one hand, reached out to Xie Jing to wrap his arms around his shoulders, "Let's go."

·

5:23 in the afternoon.

Seven Colors Sunshine Children's Orphanage is a place that can't be found on the map because it is located in a very remote place. It is located in the suburb of Sanli County in Jin'an Province, and there are not even a landmark building around it. No.

He just got off the plane and got in touch with the local police. Bai Ye didn't even bother to call the police, and let them take him to the destination.

There is no need for a large number of people, Bai Ye arrested a criminal policeman from the Jin'an local branch to drive, and he and Xie Jingwo took a rest in the back seat.

It was almost dusk, the carriage was a little dark, and Xie Jing's face was tired and a little pale after a long time of exhaustion. Since the driver was not his own, Bai Ye couldn't pull Xie Jing into his arms, so he had to help him Head, let him lean on his shoulder, "Why do you want to follow?"

His original plan was to just come and take a look by himself. After all, even Xie Jing is far away from his previous life, but revisiting his old place might not be a very good experience.

Thinking of you together, before the words came to his lips, Xie Jing himself felt that he was very hypocritical, so he said, "It's nothing, anyway, I can't find anything to do by myself."

"Well, take a break."

"Okay." Xie Jing rubbed his head against Bai Ye's shoulder, as if he was looking for a more comfortable state, and then slowly closed his eyes.

The police SUV sped along the road with its lights flashing, and the night began to diffuse. Thousands of lights began to shine in the distant urban areas on both sides of the viaduct, and then they were left behind like an ebbing tide, and retreated far away.

The police car got off the viaduct, arrived at the junction of the city and suburbs, and then went down at the last stop, and finally reached the place after turning around.From a distance, this orphanage with a mottled and rusty facade is hidden in the mountains and forests, revealing an indescribable desolation.There were not many households nearby, and the lights were lit up in twos and threes.

The roar of the engine stopped suddenly, and the voice of the criminal policeman came from the front row, "Well, the detachment is here." He didn't know the name of this stern and good-looking policeman, but he only heard that there was something to do in Jin'an the detachment leader.

The people from the local police station and the dean were waiting at the gate early in the morning. Bai Ye said a few words politely, and cut straight to the point, "Zhao Xingui, who was in your orphanage back then, do you have any impression that she had good friends at that time?"

Before Gonghai contacted Jin'an to run the household registration, the orphanage also heard some rumors.However, they did not disclose the specific circumstances of the case, and they probably just thought that something happened to the child outside.The dean of the orphanage seemed to be in his fifties, and while leading Bai Ye and the others in, he said, "That child has been in our yard for a long time, and I thought she would stay. gone."

"What's her name?"

"Oh, I picked it up, but she didn't have a surname. It should be added by herself after she went out."

Under normal circumstances, if there are no adopted children in general welfare homes, they can only stay until they become adults at most, that is, they can choose to leave the welfare home after that.Of course, there are also cases where they choose to stay and work as nurses in orphanages.

"Is that so?" Bai Ye nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "Then, did any of your children at the same age as Zhao Xingui have the word "cloud" in their names or nicknames?"

The dean thought for a while, then shook his head, "I don't remember much about this. We have a lot of children coming and going here. Basically, if someone adopts them, we will contact them as soon as possible. We must give the children a home. It is rare to have such a large family. children are still left."

It was already night, and the children in the orphanage in twos and threes were coaxed by the nurses to go to the dormitory to rest. In a place like the orphanage, whenever a stranger came, it would cause a sensation.Most children will take this opportunity to show how obedient and sensible they are, hoping that a good family can adopt them.

But in reality, anyone who comes to adopt/adopt a child will be very hesitant in the face of those who are already sensible and obedient, because they are afraid that when they become adults, they will think about finding their biological parents or something.So children who are half-grown and not young are often in a very embarrassing situation.

"Then trouble the dean to show me the photo albums, documents, and files related to the similar time." Bai Ye thought of something, and said, "Together with Zhao Xingui's part."

The dean nodded again and again, "It should, it should." He immediately called a few staff members to run to the archives room.Although this is a frontier welfare home, there is not much traffic, but Zhao Xingui has been here for more than ten years after all, and it is very difficult to find the relevant documents and files of the same period. It may take a while.

The criminal policeman who brought Bai Ye, Xie Jing and the others didn't have dinner, and followed the staff to have a small stove.

Xie Jing stood outside the corridor on the second floor, looking at the sleepy night and the dark dormitory building outside, he was so dazed thinking about something that Bai Ye walked over and didn't notice it.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Xie Jing said perfunctorily, "I just think that although this place is a bit rough, at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain. It's better than being homeless."

Bai Ye's eyes narrowed slightly. In fact, a person living a normal well-off life would subconsciously feel sympathy when he came to such a place.Because people are always like this, when they face people or things that are more miserable than themselves, they always feel pity.But the idea is one thing, and whether you are willing to take substantive actions is another.

But Xie Jing was different, he thought it was okay.

Is it because his past life was worse than this?

Maybe because Bai Ye didn't say anything, Xie Jing asked aloud, "How's the question going?"

"I went to look for the file, there should be news soon." As he was speaking, the phone in his pocket vibrated, Bai Ye picked it up and looked, it was a message from Lei Heng.

The screen instantly lit up, casting a cold light on Bai Ye's face.

"Is there any information from the city bureau?"

While replying the message, Bai Ye said, "No, the game I mentioned to you earlier that Lei Heng participated in the development, in fact, I have a share, and I just asked him to help me start a poverty alleviation project. His family group is in Yanjiang There are fixed poverty alleviation projects every year, and the procedures are very fast, and the documents can basically be approved on the same day.”

"It means—" Xie Jing frowned, "Huh? I think I mean it?"

"Almost." In fact, what Bai Ye thought was, how do I know what you mean.

Xie Jing nodded, and then turned his gaze to the distance again, "Actually, for this kind of project, the money you approved may not be fully used."

"I know." Bai Ye replied the message and turned off the screen of the phone, "But as long as it works, it's almost enough to send someone to supervise the work when the time comes."

Xie Jing pouted, "It's great to be rich, and you can speak very hard."

Bai Ye smiled, "Don't worry, the gift money is reserved for you, maybe I have to prepare it for you as a foil, and I will give you some gold bracelets and gold necklaces."

Bai Detachment said this in a serious manner, it is easy to make people laugh, okay?

There was a faint smile in Xie Jing's eyes, and he raised his hand and pinched his earlobe, "Then why don't you type a golden keyboard? It will be easy to kneel in the future."

Bai Ye raised his eyebrows, "Call you or me?"

"..." Xie Jing was suddenly at a loss for words.

After a long time, the dean finally came back with a thick stack of file bags, and he greeted Bai Ye, "Oh, I found them all, and they are all here."

"Okay, I'm sorry." Bai Ye responded, patted Xie Jing's head and walked into the dean's office.

There are many and complicated materials, and it is not easy to find them. Moreover, as the dean said at the beginning, Zhao Xingui's name was given by him, so it is difficult to ensure that the names of other children have not changed.

There is also a photo album at the bottom of the file. Bai Ye separates the materials he has read from the ones he has not read, and then picks up the photo album and asks, "Is this a photo from this period?"

The dean said, "Not all of them, and not many, but almost someone came to adopt them, or took a few photos of the children when there were some important festivals. There are also some in recent years. I thought it might be useful, so I took them together. coming."

"I'm interested." Bai Ye responded, and opened the album whose cover had turned yellow. There were old photos pasted on the front, and they looked a little newer as they went back.

Bai Ye thought about the year, and reckoned to turn a few pages. In just an instant, Bai Ye's gaze was fixed on a certain corner of the album——

In a group photo with a sense of age, more than a dozen children are standing in two rows, each holding a sunflower in their hands.

It may be because Zhao Xingui's pale and gray appearance when she died on Tianzhu Mountain was so impressive that Bai Ye suddenly felt an indescribable strangeness when he saw her young appearance.

Since Zhao Xingui looked about sixteen or seventeen years old at this time, because of her stature, she naturally stood in the last position. Even though the pixels of this photo are not high, you can vaguely see her smiling brightly. , she held up the sunflower to cover half of the face of the person next to her, and tilted her head, as if she wanted to whisper to the person next to her.

The dean saw that Bai Ye had been staring at this photo without turning the page, blinked his eyes and thought for a while, "Oh... this photo was because the sunflowers that the children planted in the back mountain of our orphanage bloomed, so I deliberately picked some useless ones for them to play with, and took some photos. The conditions were not good at that time, at least now there are slides, seesaws and the like on the playground. At that time, there was nothing for them to play..."

Bai Ye frowned, and interrupted the dean who was rambling aside, "The girl next to her?"

The dean followed Bai Ye's finger, and suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, this is Xingui. I named her because she likes osmanthus. In fact, this girl is quite sensible. The one next to her Girl?" The dean let out a hiss, and began to look through the files with his head down.

The dean dug through several old files for some reason, and finally found the rightful owner. The dean said, "Oh!", "Coincidentally, didn't you just ask if there was a name with a cloud, this girl is, But her cloud is capitalized cloud, so you shouldn’t be the one who found the cloud.” The dean thought that the cloud Bai Ye mentioned was Bai Yun’s cloud, but this is normal, most people would think so.

Bai Ye's fingers curled up subconsciously, but there was hardly any abnormal expression on his face. He naturally took the information in the dean's hand and asked, "Is she adopted?"

The dean took a look and explained, "Yes, this is the situation of the adoption registration records at that time. This girl was almost ten years old when she came to us. In fact, it is not easy to find an older child with a memory like her." People, but maybe this child is so smart that someone is willing to adopt her in the future."

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, saying that it was dexterity was not quite right.The group photo was blurry and half of the face was blocked by the sunflower in Zhao Xingui's hand at that time, so I couldn't see it clearly.But now when Bai Ye saw the one-inch photo of the girl's face, he couldn't help being surprised. Even though Bai Ye had seen many excellent and good-looking people, at this moment he had to admit that even if this girl was not an adult, she was still pretty enough.

Even if it is an ordinary one-inch photo, but the facial features and facial features are so marked that people feel that they will definitely be a great beauty when they grow up, just like a beautiful portrait drawn with a painted pen.

Bai Ye took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the column of adopters, and then took a few pictures of other details, and then said to the dean, "Please, I applied for a poverty alleviation project when I came, and the county government should announce it tomorrow. I will inform you. Although it is because of this incident today, the purpose is also to conduct a field inspection. I hope to build a new dormitory for the children and expand the surrounding area. If there are no problems, it should be completed a year ago."

The dean only heard that the Public Security Bureau was coming because of the case, but he didn't expect that there would be a poverty alleviation project. He was immediately overjoyed and kept sighing, "Oh, this is a good thing. Look, this is not in advance. Let me know, at least let us prepare a welcome party, there is nothing prepared for this."

Bai Ye signaled that there is no need to bother, and explained the project plan concisely, "That's it for now. The person in charge of Yanjiang City, Duzhou Province will contact your local county government." It is troublesome to go directly to the provinces and cities, but with Lei Heng's strength, this is not a big problem.

The dean responded in repeated voices, "Hey, it's so good, so good, it's really troublesome for the leader, and I have to make such a trip this late at night."

"It's okay, then we're leaving now. If you have any questions, you can contact me at the local police station at any time." Of course, he will definitely send someone to follow up on the follow-up work of poverty alleviation. Since he has arranged this matter himself, at least It must be guaranteed that half of the payment can be implemented.

Xie Jing looked strangely outside, until Bai Ye went out, the dean kept saying words of gratitude to Bai Ye, and it took a long time to get away.

After finally getting rid of the enthusiastic dean, the two left the orphanage. The former criminal policeman had already squinted his eyes and slept in the car.

Bai Ye was not in a hurry to call him, and got into the car with Xie Jing, and then sent the message to Zhao Dongdong, 【Hurry up and check this girl's situation, and send me the adopter's information. 】

It is estimated that I will not be able to go back to Gonghai for a while, because the address in the column of adopters just now is in Jin'an, but there is no detailed street information. This needs to be checked by Zhao Dongdong, which means that they will have to be in Jin'an tomorrow .

Because of the action of Bai Ye and Xie Jing getting into the car, the criminal policeman woke up in a daze, snorted his own saliva from sleep, and said, "You are all right, then I will take you to the city guest house now. "

"Wait." Bai Ye raised his hand to stop him, "Come and sit in the back, I'll drive."

"Ouch." This frightened the criminal policeman so much that he couldn't speak fluently, "Then...then...how can that be, you are the leader...I'll do it right away...I'll do it right away."

Bai Ye said coldly, "Why does the leader not lead the car?"

Xie Jing smiled, "Sit in the back. In fact, my captain mainly sees you like this, and is afraid that driving is unsafe." In fact, he himself is quite worried. What if he falls asleep while driving on the highway what to do?

The criminal policeman, "..."

·

The nearest urban area in Sanli County to Jin'an will take more than three hours by car. By the time Bai Ye and the others arrive and settle down, it will be almost two o'clock in the morning.

The sound of water in the bathroom of the guest house stopped, and when Bai Ye came out, Xie Jing had already fallen asleep.

Bai Ye approached him and looked at him, the bedside lamp hit his eyelashes that looked even longer because of his closed eyes, Xie Jing's face was fair and calm, his lips were slightly parted, probably because of the soup he had just eaten late at night, he now appeared Full of rosy and soft complexion.

Bai Ye's expression changed slightly, he felt an indescribable heat rise from his lower abdomen in an instant, he frowned in embarrassment, as if unwilling to break the wonderful or plain dream that someone might be experiencing, he just bent down silently, Gently place a kiss on Xie Jing's forehead.

He raised his hand to turn off the light, and rolled the quilt up for Xie Jing, "Good night." Bai Ye murmured softly, the voice was so shallow that it could dissipate with the dancing air molecules in the darkness at any time.
