"The photos of the relevant personnel are all in the file bag."

After the detective finished speaking, he glanced at the customer beside him, and unexpectedly found that his expression was distorted, as if he heard that his husband had eighty illegitimate children outside, so he temporarily shut his mouth, fearing that he would vent his anger on his car in a hurry.

And Shen Tinglan was so angry that she had a headache and felt that she needed to slow down, so she also fell silent.

The two people in the car remained silent until they reached their destination. The detective stopped the car and looked at his watch, then he spoke again: "It's still half an hour before the students leave school, and Wei Li will be here in a while. Drive slowly and follow him all the way, no matter what you see on the way, you can't get out of the car, and you have to bow your head when he approaches, otherwise, once he finds out, I won't be able to investigate him later, understand?"

Shen Tinglan's voice was muffled, and she said impatiently, "Got it."

The carriage fell into silence again, and both of them looked at the school gate, motionless.

Just when Shen Tinglan felt his neck was about to freeze, Wei Li's figure came into his sight.

Wei Li was wearing a gray windbreaker, the cuffs were neatly tied with ties, revealing two clean hands, one of which was holding a transparent plastic bag, I don't know what it was.

He stood at the school gate like other parents, cast his gaze into the playground behind the fence, stared at it for a long time, and didn't notice the car Shen Tinglan and the others were riding in at all.

Shen Tinglan looked at his back just like he looked at the child, and at the same time he understood the detective's warning just now - he really wanted to jump out of the car and tear Wei Li away.

After a while, there was faint music outside the car.

"School is over."

While the detective murmured a reminder, he lowered all four car windows by a gap, and the voices from outside came in clearly.

The big iron gate of the school was opened, and the teacher led the queued children to the door. When the group of little bean dices saw their parents, grandparents and grandparents, they all rushed out chirping.

Wei Li still stood where he was, and he didn't go forward until half of the people at the door had left.

Shen Tinglan stretched her neck to see where he was going. A female teacher with a baby face led a little girl. After seeing Wei Li, she also walked towards him and started talking.

The teacher didn't know what he said, and a smile suddenly appeared on Wei Li's face.

Shen Tinglan didn't blink her eyes, almost thinking that she was hallucinating.

That smile was not a shallow smile, nor a smile, but a sincere smile, with a mouthful of neat teeth, and the little mole under his eyes jumped up.In the golden afterglow cast by the setting sun, soft light bloomed in his light-colored pupils, and his black hair was slightly tinged with chestnut yellow.His whole body melted into the light, forming a clean and dazzling landscape.

Shen Tinglan never thought that there would be such a smile on that always serious face, like melting ice and snow, spring water wrinkling, warm wind blowing willows... almost reminds people of all the beautiful things in the world, and can also The warmth softens any heart.

However, that smile was not for him, and it had never been for him.

Shen Tinglan suddenly felt lost, which was mixed with a little jealousy.He thought that the baby-faced young girl should be Wei Li's favorite, but the next moment, Wei Li's eyes shifted to the little girl next to the female teacher, and he reached out and touched her head—it turned out that Wei Li was Laughed for her.

Shen Tinglan had been focusing on Wei Li and the teacher just now, and only then did he notice the little girl's video.

The little girl Pianzi has an apple face and two thin braids. She takes out a can of milk from the side of her schoolbag and hands it to Wei Li: "Brother, this is for you!"

The child's voice was high-pitched, but she seemed to be very excited, her voice was especially loud, and Shen Tinglan could hear it clearly in the car.Immediately afterwards, he heard Wei Li's voice getting louder, the tone that adults talk to children: "Weiwei is so nice."

The little girl nodded, and raised the milk high with her feet: "Brother drink it to nourish your body!"

Wei Li bent down, unloaded her schoolbag and carried her on his back, then hugged her up, walked around the other parents and walked on the sidewalk: "Brother is very happy, but Weiwei is still growing, so it's better for Weiwei to drink." Bar."

"I've already drank it! The teacher rewarded me for my good grades!" Weiwei inserted the straw and brought the milk to Wei Li's mouth, "Drink it!"

"Okay." Wei Li took a sip of the milk lightly, "Is it still warm?"

"I put it in a lunch box and soaked it in hot water." Weiwei felt a little proud, "Is it delicious?"

Seeing this, Shen Tinglan thought they were going all the way home, but Wei Li took another sip of the milk, put the little girl down, and took out a small bag of puff plugs from the plastic bag in his hand Put it in her hand: "You can eat the rest of the milk with snacks, it's not convenient for my brother to drink while riding a bicycle."

As he spoke, he turned and bent down to open the bicycle lock.They were standing in front of the car, Shen Tinglan was speechless, and suddenly felt that Wei Li's previous care for him was nothing, after all, he even had to hug the little girl for these two steps, as if he couldn't bear it It was as if the other party had fallen to the ground.

But soon, when Wei Li picked up the little girl and put it on the back seat, Shen Tinglan saw the other half of her face, and couldn't help saying in surprise, "Why are her eyes... and ears, they are hearing aids ?”

"Wardenburg's Syndrome." The detective explained in a low voice, "Have hearing impairment, accompanied by symptoms of heterochromia iris, that is not a hearing aid, it is a cochlear implant, and the hearing of both ears is generally below 80 decibels to install... good Yes, bow your head."

Shen Tinglan lowered his head and heard the sound of bicycle bells approaching and then going away.Looking up again, Wei Li in the rearview mirror has already ridden a long way.

The detective turned the front of the car and followed the bicycle, and at the same time made an inference: "This cochlear implant should be new, and the child has not adapted to it, so the volume of speech can't be controlled, and Wei Li's speech to her is not crooked. The waist is just hugging, which is obviously a habit left by the two of them talking when she couldn't hear clearly before."

Shen Tinglan nodded, agreeing with his analysis - since Luo Jing's operation is completed, the money earned later will naturally be spent on the little girl.

"How much does a cochlear implant cost?"

The detective scratched his nose: "Look at domestic products or imported ones. The domestic ones are about 40 to [-] yuan, while the imported ones are more expensive. They cost [-] to [-] yuan, and ordinary families can't afford them."

Shen Tinglan felt that with Wei Li's economic conditions, he probably wouldn't choose to import, but 8 to [-] yuan would cost Wei Li half a year's salary, right?If he wasn't interested in Luo Jing, why would he endure the pain to make money?

If there is no blood relationship, can there really be family affection?

Even if there is real family affection, it is not possible to do this step, right?

The doubts in his heart were big and small, tormenting him very much, so he wanted to find out even more.

The car followed to the gate of a residential area, and the detective parked the car in an alley on the side.

Shen Tinglan originally thought that he was going to get out of the car, but when he saw him playing with his phone, he became a little anxious: "Aren't you going to follow?"

"No need, I put something in their mailbox."

As he spoke, the phone screen switched to a real-time surveillance video.

Downstairs in the unit, a woman with a vague face was walking back and forth. The detective tapped on the screen: "It's Luo Jing."

Sure enough, 2 minutes later, the defender Li rode his bicycle and Weiwei appeared, and handed the person and the plastic bag to Luo Jing. After that, he didn't talk nonsense, just said: "It's cold, you guys hurry up and go upstairs."

Luo Jing didn't move immediately, as if she had something to say to him.

Wei Li didn't seem to notice it, he was half-bending and talking to the little girl: "Weiwei, take my sister up and take good care of her."

elder sister?

Shen Tinglan's heart skipped a beat.

When he heard the guardian just now, he subconsciously felt that the child belonged to Luo Jing, and it was only when he heard this title that he realized that he had misunderstood.But after understanding it correctly, he felt that the relationship between these people became more complicated and confusing——

Luo Jing is now 30 years old, and Weiwei looks like she is only five or six years old. If they are of the same generation, then the second child is born too late!

Even if this is the case, someone in Luo Jing's family can open an orphanage and have a second child, which means that her family is not poor, at least not so poor that Wei Li set up a stall to help.

He had many questions in his heart, but he didn't ask them directly, because in the picture, Luo Jing asked Weiwei to go upstairs first, and then dragged Wei Li to a place far away from the mailbox. The ears cannot hear.

"...I will pay back the rest of the cochlear implant." Luo Jing said.

Wei Li shook his head: "No."

"You don't talk about the number, I also know a rough idea, including interest, it must be 10,000+? You pay it by yourself, when will you go?"

Wei Li said: "There is no interest, I used the interest-free qualification."

As expected of his sister, Luo Jing exposed him with her mouth: "Don't lie, the interest-free qualification for cochlear implant loans here is only for patients under the age of three. Don't take me for a fool."

"There is really no interest. I applied for two loans from different channels to piece together."

Luo Jing stared at him silently for a while, then suddenly asked: "Have you borrowed money from someone to repay the loan? Who? You don't have many friends...is it your young boss?"

"not him."

"No, no?" Luo Jing pointed to his hand, "When you tell a lie, you rub your fingers secretly. It's not obvious, but you can't hide it from me."

Wei Li lowered his head and glanced at his hands, then put them in his pockets: "Anyway, I will properly settle the money issue."

"Look at you stubborn. It was agreed that you would be in charge of the boys and I would be in charge of the girls. What are you going to do now?" Luo Jing's voice trembled, as if she was suppressing some excitement, "I don't care. , from now on, I will send money to you every month. If you dare to reject it or send it back to me, I will give the money to Zeyi directly, so as to save him a senior high school student from being raised by you so that he can only eat porridge and grow old. Godmother."

After Luo Jing finished speaking, without giving Wei Li a chance to speak, she turned around and opened the unit door to go upstairs.

Wei Li glanced at the unit door speechlessly, stepped on the bicycle again, and rode out of the range that the mailbox camera could monitor.

This conversation added more questions to Shen Tinglan's mind, so as soon as the person in the picture disappeared, he opened his mouth, ready to ask questions like spraying bullets, but the detective's phone rang first.

The detective looked at the incoming call, unfastened his seat belt, and quickly opened the car door: "Pick up the call, I'll be here later."

Shen Tinglan wanted to catch him, but he couldn't resist him jumping so fast, he had no choice but to shout, "Hey! What if we lose him!"

"Follow me, he usually goes home for dinner at this point!"
