Qin Lan unfolded the note, revealing the words written with a ballpoint pen inside.

"At the door of the conference room of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the address you gave me is not wrong, right? Today is the afternoon of August 1998, 8. My name is Song Jianyu."

After reading all the content on the note, Qin Lan turned the note over for no apparent reason, and it was a post-it note that can be seen everywhere in some gift shop.

Qin Lan thought for a while, folded the note and put it aside, not even stitching up the broken stomach of the little bear.

Put them all away and put them aside alone, planning to return them to Qin Shiguan when he gets home at night.

"Come on baby, mommy will take you to the small park to play."

Qin Lan bent down to pick up the child who was watching her with wide eyes open, put on her out shoes and brought it downstairs to play in the amusement park in the community.

When Qin Shiguan came home at night, the two tall men who entered the door entered the house one after the other.

Zhou Jianming first took off his police uniform and hung it on the hanger, then trotted all the way to his baby and picked him up: "Oh, who's baby is this, why is it so cute!"

At the entrance, Qin Shiguan took off his police uniform, put on household slippers, and walked into the kitchen sink to wash his hands.

Qin Lan stood on the balcony and was collecting clothes. When the person holding his arms full of clothes turned around and saw Zhou Jianming's movements, he hurried over and hugged the child: "Have you washed your hands yet? Go wash your hands before hugging him!"

"I just came back after washing at work. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Qin."

Zhou Jianming pointed at Qin Shiguan.

Facing the brother-in-law's question, Qin Shiguan nodded calmly: "Brother-in-law has washed his hands in the workplace, I testify. But when I got off work, the bureau just sent in a fugitive wanted on the Internet. Before leaving, my brother-in-law took pictures of the fugitive. Shoulder."

Qin Lan glared at her husband, "Is that what you call washing your hands?"

"Wash, wash, I'm going to wash my hands!"

Zhou Jianming, who was glared at by his wife, quickly made a small fuss and ran to wash his hands before he dared to touch his own son again.

In the living room, Qin Lan carried Xiaobao to take out the little bear that had been placed during the day, and handed it to Qin Shiguan who was sitting on the sofa.

"Look, brother, this little bear was bitten by Xiaobao during the day. When I wanted to sew it up for you, I found a note hidden inside. I don't know who put it in."

"A note?"

Qin Shiguan brought over the little bear with a broken stomach, and unfolded the note that Qin Lan handed over.

Scan the above content at a glance.

"The door of the conference room of the Criminal Investigation Brigade?"

Qin Shiguan was transferred from the local detachment to work in the Criminal Investigation Brigade three years ago. He didn't remember that he once stood at the door of the conference room and gave others any address.

"There is also the other party's name written on it, do you know Song Jianyu?" Qin Lan sat beside him, pointing to the last signature on the note.

Qin Shiguan shook his head, "I have no impression, and it says August 1998, 8. How could I be standing at the gate of the criminal investigation brigade when I was only five years old and exchange this with someone I knew?"

"What exchange?"

Zhou Jianming came out after washing his hands, just in time to hear the conversation between the siblings.

"Xiao Qin's doll bear has a note in its belly, I don't know who left it."

Qin Lan raised her head and looked at her husband to explain.

"It's probably the manufacturer's label." Zhou Jianming didn't care.

"It's not a label, the time and address are very strange."

Qin Shiguan and Zhou Jianming both worked in the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Public Security Bureau. As a criminal policeman for many years, when he saw this note, he felt that there was something wrong with it.

He handed the note to Zhou Jianming for him to read for himself.

"At the door of the conference room of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the address you gave me is not wrong, right? Today is the afternoon of August 1998, 8. My name is Song Jianyu."

Zhou Jianming read the note before and after, "The afternoon of August 1998, 8? What day was that?"

The young man sitting on the sofa frowned, and stood up abruptly after a few seconds, "I remembered!"

The husband and wife in the living room looked at him at the same time, waiting for his next words.

"24 years ago, a serial murder case that shocked the whole country occurred in Jinjiang City in August. In August of that year, the murderer killed seven people in a row. Except for No.3 victim and No.7 victim who survived, the rest all died. The afternoon of August 8th was the time when the No.17 victim appeared in the East Bay..."

As Qin Shiguan talked, he looked at the teddy bear with a broken belly on the coffee table, and murmured, "This little bear is a gift I received after my sister disappeared, and it was sent home in my sister's name."

In the other party's description, Qin Lan also remembered the memory of the nightmare that made her have a long time 24 years ago.

"I haven't bought this little bear for you. Before I walked to the gate of the kindergarten that day, I saw a person fell on the ground and couldn't get up in a nearby alley. I went to try to help him, and then I was caught. I was knocked unconscious, and I didn’t buy anything for you until I was rescued. In fact, I also wanted to ask you before, whether this teddy bear was given to you by my parents to comfort you after I disappeared.”

But too much happened during that time, and she also experienced a lot of hardships within a week of being kidnapped by the murderer, and her mental state was not very good in the first year after she was discharged from the hospital, so she didn't ask about Qin Shiguan's doll.

"I always thought it was given to me by my sister. The address is the house where our parents live now. I remember that the person who sent it was my sister's name.

So at that time, Qin Shiguan blamed himself very much, thinking that his sister might be taken away on the way to buy a doll for him, and after suffering so much, he blamed himself for being too willful at that time.

Obviously, his parents can pick him up from school, but that day he insisted on letting his sister pick him up.

After his sister was rescued, Qin Shiguan swore that he would become a policeman to help her sister catch the murderer who kidnapped her back then after seeing her two-headed nightmare for three days in that year.

"Pack up your things and send them to the forensics department for an appraisal. This is likely to be related to the case back then."

Zhou Jianming put the things down, found an unopened bag from home, put all the notes and dolls in it, and after doing all this, he looked at the two people present: "Let's all go to the police station. Besides the three of us touching, has anyone else touched it?"

Qin Lan shook her head, "No, I only found out that there was something hidden inside the bear when it was broken."

"Okay, let's go to the bureau to do fingerprint removal."

Zhou Jianming was driving, Qin Lan was sitting in the back seat with the child in his arms, and Qin Shiguan was sitting in the co-pilot thinking about the name on the note.

"Song Jianyu, I seem to have heard the name Song Jianyu somewhere."

"Did you hear it recently, or did you hear it before?" Zhou Jianming drove the car out of the basement and turned to ask his brother-in-law in the co-pilot.

Qin Shiguan rested his chin and thought for a long time, then shook his head, "I can't remember, I just vaguely feel like I saw it somewhere, not heard it, but saw it."

But when he carefully recalled the recent cases he handled, there was no suspect with this name.

The three of them went straight to the forensics department in the bureau, and submitted the things to someone to verify the origin of the piece of paper, as well as the handwriting on it. The fingerprints of the three people who touched the note were also extracted as exclusions...

Song Jianyu over there was brought into a hot spring resort by Song's father, and booked two standard rooms with private hot spring pools.

Song Jianyu put on his swimming trunks, lying on his stomach in the pool, smelling the sulfur in the water, and opened his address book with his mobile phone covered in a waterproof bag.

Use the names in turn to identify the relationship between these people and yourself.

He still studied at Yunda University in the same city, and his dormitory didn't seem to have changed. The contact numbers of Fatty Yin Su and others are all in the phone.

It's just that there are several more communication numbers called uncles and grandpas in the phone.

These are all lists that Song Jianyu has not added before.

"It's so difficult... Do I have to pretend to have amnesia?"

The person in the pool turned over, put the mobile phone in a corner where there was no water, and closed his eyes on his back to let himself not think about it for the time being.

Parents are fine now, that's enough.

And the murderer of that year has never committed a crime since then.

The person sitting in the hot spring pool with his eyes closed thought, "Maybe I used the child's body to save Qin Lan and Song Zongming, and the father and son turned against each other, and they might kill each other."

People who think about beautiful things are soaked in warm spring water, and unconsciously fell asleep...

"Brother Wang, wake up, we're here."

Wu Yonghang pushed Wang Yong who was sleeping in the back of the car to wake him up.

When Song Jianyu was pushed awake, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw the familiar fat man.

"What's the date today?"

Wu Yonghang took out his mobile phone to light up the screen, and asked him to look at it himself, "September [-]rd, Guanmei Village is here, didn't we agree to see the new factory address?"

Song Jianyu took the other party's mobile phone and saw that September 2022, 9 was clearly written on the screen.

It was exactly the same as the time he saw at home in the morning.

The middle-aged man in the back seat wearing a dark blue suit and tie blinked for a while before asking the fat man beside him, "So I've been sleeping in the car?"

"Yeah, Brother Wang, you came out of the company in the morning and fell asleep when you got in the car. You didn't wake up once for more than three hours." Wu Yonghang wondered if the other party was still awake from the wine he drank last night.

Song Jianyu is not sure now, whether he has re-possessed himself on Wang Yong. It is true that he went back to 1998 to save Qin Lan and Song Zongming.

Or he never left Wang Yong's body at all, and those beautiful scenes of a family of three are really dreaming.

Thinking of this, the person holding the mobile phone quickly opened the search bar and entered the 1998 Jinjiang serial murder case, hoping to find out whether he was dreaming or whether everything had really changed in this way.

"Ding!"

At the same time that the results page in the search bar was displayed, the screen of the phone that Song Jianyu held in his hand also went black.

"This phone may have been in the box for too long, and the battery has already become empty. I seem to have a power bank."

Wu Yonghang saw the other party's mobile phone shut down automatically because it was out of power, so he picked up his briefcase to find a power bank for the other party.
