Reading Agreement

"The Crime Bureau has given you a lot of authority as a retired consultant." Shi Zhen raised his eyebrows, half-sarcastically.

"My authority is human favor, don't look down on me." The old man drank his tea and flicked his mobile phone: "Yesterday Situ Feng chatted with me and said that he cheated on you again, so don't be angry with him."

Shi Zhen shook his head coldly: "I haven't."

"What's wrong with him that he wants you to take action?" the old man asked curiously.

Shi Zhen asked coldly: "If Situ Feng could tell you, he would have told you a long time ago. If you can't get anything from him, do you think you might know something from me?"

"You..." The old man felt that he had no chance of winning the bickering, so he could only endure it, lowered his head and swiped his phone.

"Did you check the video I showed you last time?" Shi Zhen asked again.

"Yes, there was news about this yesterday, but it's not very good." The old man sent photos to Shi Zhen. It was an old car, a dead body, a pink straw hat with rabbit ears, and a smashed purple car. toy car.

The car was parked in a bush. It was a bit dirty and old. It must have been parked for a while.The hat is on the storage table of the car. It is half new and not old. It is pink and has two rabbit ears standing upright. It is very cute.The purple toy car is an ordinary pull-back car. It was smashed by heavy objects and discarded by the hat.

The driver is an old man in his late [-]s. He looks like an ordinary person, nothing special.

The location of the corpse was not near the car, but by a river. It had been soaked beyond recognition, and no face could be seen, but the clothes were exactly the same as the man who passed by the convenience store two months ago.

The suspect is dead?Shi Zhen frowned slightly, and asked the old man, "What is this person's identity?"

The old man replied: "Still investigating. The car was discovered the day before yesterday, and the person was only discovered yesterday."

"Oh." Shi Zhen nodded without asking further questions.

The two remained silent again, drank tea for more than half an hour, and finally the news came.

Shi Zhen's cell phone rang a few times, and a message came in, but it was actually the old man from the opposite side.He glanced at his grandfather coldly, and clicked to open it. It was an old record, the time was 33 years ago, at nine o'clock in the morning on a Tuesday.Records show that a single mother named Lu Xiyang reported that her son, who was working in middle school, disappeared outside her door.

The place of disappearance was an alley extending in all directions. The child was playing in front of his own door. The mother just entered the house to pour a glass of water, and the child disappeared.The crazy mother searched everywhere, and searched every surrounding alley but found nothing. In desperation, she had no choice but to call the police.

"She does have a son." Shi Zhen looked at the following pages of the investigation report. The photo was indeed Lu Xiyang's, and there was also a photo of a boy at the back. Middle class, only five years old.

"Is Lu Xiyang easy to handle?" the old man asked tentatively.

Shi Zhen didn't answer, but raised his head and asked, "Why hasn't this report record appeared? And after checking so many information, there is still no information showing that this woman has a child."

"Carefully hide the background and apply for encrypted information protection." The old man flipped through his mobile phone and replied: "About three years ago, she spent a lot of money on information security services for herself. Unless she breaks the law, others cannot check her Any hidden information. Today these materials are only accessible by high-level authority, you now know the importance of a family with an old man, such as a treasure, right?"

Shi Zhen glanced at the old man with disgust and asked, "This boy has never been found?"

"No." The old man shook his head.

"I see." Shi Zhen frowned as he flipped through the investigation report.According to the case file, the investigation work had been done in great detail at that time, but unfortunately, all possible suspects, such as those from the school, neighbors, relatives and friends, etc. were investigated, but nothing was found.Even Teacher Wang, who was reported by the boy at that time, was also under investigation, but unfortunately, there was no result.

"At that time, the focus was on investigation... Sigh." The old man sighed, thinking of what happened to that single mother, it made people feel uncomfortable.

Shi Zhen, who was looking at the material, didn't look good either, and suddenly said coldly: "After the child disappeared, within six months, three people in the kindergarten resigned, one teacher, one handyman, and one cook."

"Yes, the disappearance case was closely watched by the Crime Bureau at the time, but it's a pity that these people resigned normally, there is nothing unusual." The old man looked at the information and explained: "At that time, the trend of going into business was booming, just like self-employment now. , Many people choose to resign and go to sea, dreaming of making a fortune once in a while.”

"Go to sea for business." Shi Zhen sneered and didn't continue.

The old man didn't pay attention, and just said lightly: "At that time, the crime bureau's investigation was really complete. Just look at this detailed old investigation record."

"Do you know what the tickets represent?" Shi Zhen asked suddenly.

The old man thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said lonely again: "That's not ticket collection, it's...she looks for every place the child has been to."

"Yes." Shi Zhen nodded: "The child is missing, and wherever there is news, the mother will look for it, so all that is left in her life are these tickets on the way to the road, which are evidence that she has found it. Nothing else."

"Unfortunately, I checked the last ticket, and no one thought of this woman who was looking for a child?" The old man thought for a while and felt helpless: "It's been 33 years."

"In 33 years, there were only 39 ticket books." Shi Zhen said with a stern face: "No one knows where the child is, but... this mother is completely desperate."

"Did she sign the agreement because she wanted us to help her find a child?" The old man said with an ugly expression, "So, the requirement of the agreement is to 'find the happiest memory', the memory of the child?"

"No, she's already desperate and gave up looking for that child." Shi Zhen looked outside the door and said, "It's been more than 30 years, and I've gone to all the places I can go, and I've found all the clues I can find. I believe in DNA. She also went to compare it, there is no hope, this matter is impossible, and it will always be gone forever."

The old man wondered: "Then... what is she doing this for?"

"A final farewell ceremony for her life." Shi Zhen said coldly: "All the unknowns have turned into pure revenge, and bid farewell to the impossible connection."

revenge?Grandpa heard the clue, but he didn't point it out. He only asked, "How do you want to deal with it?"

Shi Zhen shook his head: "I just sorted out my thoughts, and I haven't fully figured out how to deal with the results."

"Can it be handled properly?" Grandpa asked again.

Shi Zhen sneered and asked, "Properly handle it? To whom? The victim? The offender? Both?"

The old man: "...you mean..."

Shi Zhen said lightly: "Don't ask, since I took the case, let me handle it."

The old man froze, nodded, and stopped talking.
