Xiao Wang and Shi Le quickly retreated to the stairs.Qi Lin looked back and knocked on the door of Xie Yan's house after confirming that he could not see them.

He guessed that Xie Yan's cohabitant might be living in it.As for Xiao Yuxuan and Wang Bai, it was almost impossible.

It's too dangerous here.As soon as something happens, the police will definitely think of this place immediately.It would be too risky to use this place as a hiding place.

A person who can do the previous things so cautiously will never lose the chain in this kind of place.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin relaxed a little.He straightened his back and knocked hard on the door twice.

Then, the sound of footsteps inside the door became louder, and the handle was twisted accordingly.An indifferent face appeared behind the door.

Qi Lin never imagined that it was none other than Xie Yan who opened the door.

"Officer Qi?" Xie Yan was wearing a loose shirt, holding a glass of red wine half full in one hand, and opened the door for Qi Lin with the other, "What wind brought you here?"

Qi Lin was confused by the scene in front of him.The police also knocked on the door of Xie Yan's house and called Xie Yan before, but they didn't get any reply.

Therefore, Qi Lin thought that Xie Yan ran away in fear of crime.As a result, today he was actually standing in his own home.

I don't understand, but I have to pretend to understand.

"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Qi Lin quickly calmed down and showed a friendly smile to Xie Yan.

Since Xie Yan is right in front of him, some things that cannot be searched can also detect Xie Yan's tone.Qi Lin was not in a hurry to reveal his purpose, but took a step forward and squeezed into Xie Yan's house.

"No, of course I can come, I'm just a little surprised." Xie Yan didn't stop him, and let Qi Lin walk around the living room.

"The one who came here was abrupt, and he didn't bring you a gift. I will definitely make it up next time." Qi Lin took the opportunity to talk to Xie Yan, and looked at the room out of the corner of his eye.Nothing unusual was found.

"Then I'll wait for your gift next time." Xie Yan poured a glass of red wine for Qi Lin, "Where's the little servant next to you? Why didn't you see him?"

It should be Shile.

"He's in the police station, he didn't come." Qi Lin kicked the sofa, sat opposite Xie Yan, and said.

"Why didn't you bring him along? I thought you were inseparable." Xie Yan pushed the wine glass in front of Qi Lin, "Drink something? It's from a French chateau."

"Wearing a police uniform, you can't drink." Qi Lin pointed to his badge, "But why does Mr. Xie think that Shi Le and I are inseparable? From my memory, we don't seem to have any contact with Mr. Xie."

His words were sharp, like a knife trying to pierce the curtain that Xie Yan had placed in front of him.

It's a pity that Xie Yan was not tempted.

"When I was a consultant before, I happened to meet the two of you in an art museum. Aren't you going on a trip? If you don't have a good relationship, you won't go on a trip, right?" Xie Yan smiled slightly, "It doesn't feel like ordinary friends. In general, superiors and subordinates are even closer."

"Yes, partner, we have a better relationship." Qi Lin turned his head and looked towards the balcony.There seemed to be something shiny on the balcony, "I can't drink, but the journey is a bit far... I wonder if Mr. Xie has water at home?"

"Of course, wait a moment." Xie Yan put down his wine glass, turned and went into the kitchen.At this time, Qi Lin also had room to move freely.He took a step forward, intending to see what was in the corner of the balcony.

A card, can't see clearly.Just about to go further, Xie Yan shouted in the kitchen:

"Officer Qi, do you want ice or hot?"

"Normal temperature is fine." Qi Lin said perfunctorily, but after thinking about it, he changed his words, "It needs to be hot."

"Wait a moment." Xie Yan's voice came from the kitchen.

Qi Lin looked at the kitchen, and after making sure that Xie Yan had no intention of coming out, he quietly leaned on the glass door, and kept zooming in on the card with the magnification function of the phone camera.

It's a photo, pure scenery, with trees, windows...and a bus stop and a rose by the window.

After looking at it for two seconds, Qi Lin didn't recognize the place in the photo.But his intuition told him that this photo was very important.

Because that rose is the awakening rose.

He groped and wanted to press the shutter button, but Xie Yan's voice sounded behind him.

"Officer Qi, what are you filming?"

His voice twisted and turned like a midnight dream, and Qi Lin was startled into a cold sweat.

Qi Lin quickly moved his phone up and took a random photo of the sky.

"The sky is beautiful today." Qi Lin waved his phone and said to Xie Yan.

Xie Yan glanced at Qi Lin's phone, then looked into the distance.

"Today's sky is gray and a bit sluggish. I didn't expect Officer Qi to like this kind of scenery." Xie Yan said, "I thought that Officer Qi's character would like the blue sky and white clouds."

"No, people's character is not good. In fact, I like this kind of scenery." Qi Lin didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, so as not to arouse Xie Yan's suspicion, "Is the water boiled?"

"It's still burning, I'll go and have a look." Xie Yan turned his head and took one last look out the window.If Qi Lin hadn't lowered his head to recall the content of the photo just now, then he should have found that Xie Yan was looking at the photo on the ground.

……

Xie Yan took the boiled water out with a goblet.It's a bit funny, and it feels inexplicably high.

Qi Lin took the wine glass that should be used to hold the wine with a blank expression, and took a sip.

"Actually, I have another thing to do this time." Qi Lin looked at his watch and found that a long time had passed, so he had to ask Xie Yan something directly.He pursed his lips, organized his words, and asked, "I'm going to use an old case as a case study recently. I heard that Mr. Xie's family lives well, so I want to ask Mr. Xie some questions."

Qi Lin deliberated and decided to start asking about the oldest things, firstly to let Xie Yan relax his vigilance, and secondly to test his attitude, "I heard about Mr. Xie's childhood residence before, but I can't remember it. Where is Qing? I want to ask, did Mr. Xie live next door to Qingzhong or the old Huaihe house when he was a child?"

In fact, he made up the place name Huaihe Old House.And the next door to Qingzhong is the real place he wants to ask, that is, the dilapidated villa where Xiao Yuxuan once lived.

In this way, no matter what Xie Yan said, Qi Lin would be able to spy out some information from it.

"This question is really interesting." Xie Yan shook the red wine glass, "But it was so long ago, I really can't remember it."

Qi Lin was not surprised by Xie Yan's ambiguous answer.He looked at Xie Yan with a smile on his face, and didn't speak, just waiting for Xie Yan to answer directly.

Not long after, Xie Yan knew that there was no way for him to procrastinate like this: "Neither, I've always lived here, just this room, which used to be my father's."

"Is this room? Live in Qingcheng all the time?"

"That's right, the only university I studied was in Jiangcheng. After graduating from university, I have hardly been to Jiangcheng."

"So that's the case. It seems that I made a mistake. I always thought that Mr. Xie was from Jiangcheng, and I thought he was from a fellow villager."

"How could Officer Qi feel this way? I don't have an accent, do I?"

"No, it's not the accent, it's the memory." Qi Lin paused, "I still have a good impression of Mr. Xie. Although I can't say when the memory was, I always feel that I have met Mr. Xie. It seems to be very young. At that time, Mr. Xie was brought by a foreigner to come to play with me."

Half of what he said was true and half was false, and the true and the false were mixed together to test Xie Yan's reaction.

"What is Officer Qi talking about?" Xie Yan lowered his head and took a sip of his wine. "How could I remember things from when I was so young? I guess it's because Officer Qi remembered the wrong person. Even if he brought Officer Qi with him, it shouldn't be Foreign talents, right? They have different skin colors, so I can tell they are not of mixed race."

"Ah, I'm sorry, but it's really similar. I should have admitted my mistake." Qi Lin stood up, "That's really a pity. I wanted to ask Mr. Xie for some information."

"Where, I was the one who failed to help Officer Qi, and I was the one who was sorry." Xie Yan also got up and walked Qi Lin to the door, "If you can use me in the future, please feel free to find me .”

"Thank you, just send it here." Qi Lin had a polite smile on his lips, "Let's go, goodbye."

As he said that, he turned around, and the smile on his face disappeared at this moment.

"How is it, senior, did you ask what you wanted to ask?" Shi Le waited in the stairwell.As soon as Qi Lin came, he followed Qi Lin and asked in a low voice.

"No, I didn't ask what I wanted to ask, but I found something else." Qi Lin and Shi Le went downstairs together, and at the same time saw Xiao Wang who was waiting downstairs, "That kid back then, it was Xie Yan."

"He admitted it himself?" Shi Le had a look of disbelief.

"I didn't admit it personally, but it's almost the same." Qi Lin said, "I told him that I saw him in my memory, and he came to me with a foreigner. His answer said that he was not of mixed race, and his skin color was also different. It’s not like the skin color that a mixed-race person should have. You know, the surrounding countries with similar skin color are also foreigners.”

"Maybe it is fixed thinking? When people think of foreigners, they will think of people with different skin colors and looks. Xie Yan may also be the first person who thinks of people from other continents."

"No, it's not just this point. Shile, watch it," Qi Lin cleared his throat, and called out to Xiao Wang who was standing in the distance, "Xiao Wang, who was that foreigner who stayed with you last week?" ?”

"What?" Xiao Wang frowned, "I'm not with foreigners."

"How could it be?" Qi Lin continued to ask, "I saw it clearly."

"Then you must have mistaken someone!" Xiao Wang said, "Except for Shi Le, I don't have any friends who look like foreigners. You don't think you are my brother, do you?"

Qi Lin nodded in satisfaction.

"You see, this is the case. Generally, when asked, the first reaction should be friends, my friends, my parents' friends, but the implication of Xie Yan is that I have no blood relationship with that person." Qi Lin used Knuckles knocked on the car door, "All these abnormal signs have shown that Xie Yan is most likely the child, and that doctor also has a special relationship with him."

"What's the relationship?"
