Fate [Donglun Tong Humanities]

Q21 ：

I haven't seen Aaron Yan since that day, and Wang Dongcheng couldn't sit still.He always wondered where Aaron Yan was doing, and couldn't guess what was going on outside.My own body gradually got better, and the back injury healed after lying down for a few days.

Wang Dongcheng grabbed Xu Yan and asked, "Why haven't I seen him these days?"

Xu Yan frowned in distress, and asked Wang Dongcheng, "What did you tell him that day?"

"It's nothing." Wang Dongcheng thought for a while and replied, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yan sat down, "I thought you said something to him and quarreled, because I haven't seen him in the past few days. No matter what time it is, he's not here. Did you really say nothing?"

Wang Dongcheng felt as though all the strength in his body had been drained away. Aaron Yan hasn't come back for so many days? !The bad premonition spread all over the body in an instant, that idiot Yan Aaron didn't go to investigate the matter by himself, did he?By now, Wang Dongcheng could no longer lose Aaron Yan again, thinking, Wang Dongcheng endured the pain and got up and got out of bed.

"What are you doing?!" Xu Yan screamed in shock, and quickly supported him to prevent him from taking another step forward, "Worried that he won't even want your own body?!"

"I'm going to find him." Wang Dongcheng said firmly to Xu Yan.

"How do you look like this? Don't end up being unable to take care of yourself." Xu Yan also held Wang Dongcheng with a clear attitude and refused to let him go.

"Don't you just let me lie on the bed and wait for the news without doing anything?" Wang Dongcheng broke away from Xu Yan's hand, "I know my own body, so don't worry too much about me."

With her hands empty, Xu Yan turned her head to watch Wang Dongcheng get dressed and walk out, tears mixed with bitterness flowed back into her heart.Wang Dongcheng, I let go, but are you going to hurt me so hard?You are worried about him, but I am also worried about you. Even if I say I let go, I never said I don't love you.

As soon as Wang Dongcheng walked out of the room, a servant rushed to him and handed him a letter, saying: "Master, this is a letter from someone just now, and it must be delivered to you."

In fact, Wang Dongcheng didn't even bother to read the letter right now, but he opened the letter after thinking twice.

Dadong, don't worry about me, I'm fine in one place now, and I'll be back soon.Yan Ya Lun

Just this short line, but the familiar handwriting and reassuring content made Wang Dongcheng heave a sigh of relief.It was because he thought too much, Aaron Yan is safe now, and no accident happened.

"Who sent it?" Wang Dongcheng asked the servant after receiving the letter.

"I didn't see the face, I was wearing a broken hat, and my voice was very low." Jia Ding replied after thinking about it.

"Is there anything else to say?"

"No." Jia Ding shook his head.

Wang Dongcheng waved his hand to signal the servant to go to his business, then turned and walked back to the room.Stepping into the room, I heard low sobbing unexpectedly.

Xu Yan sat on the stool with her back to him, her shoulders trembling.

Wang Dongcheng stopped walking in and backed out instead.Undoubtedly, Xu Yan was hurt by his excessive attitude just now. He admitted that he was impatient and ignored the feelings of the people around him.He must have gone too far. He didn't take Xu Yan's feelings into consideration. She was able to let go and continue to take care of him without complaint. He should thank her well.But the fact is that I didn't think about her again and again, and ignored her mood over and over again.This kind of thing shouldn't happen.

Knowing that Aaron Yan was not in danger, Wang Dongcheng also settled down to deal with the yamen affairs.He ordered someone to call the county lieutenant of the yamen (in charge of criminal and prison affairs, responsible for local security and case investigation).

"My lord." Wei Qing rushed to Wang's mansion immediately.

Wang Dongcheng nodded, motioned Wei Qing to sit aside, and asked straightforwardly: "How is it? Is there anything you asked to investigate before?"

Hearing this, Wei Qing took out two volumes from his sleeve, stood up and put them on the desk, opened the two volumes, flipped through them, pointed to a few pages and said, "My lord, please look, these are the cases of drowning that happened three years ago. Incident. According to the time and place provided by the adults, I found four suitable cases. One did not find out who fell into the water, and the other three were found out at the time. They were the daughter of the Shi family in Xicheng District, The daughter of the Meng family in Jinsha District and the young master of the Zhou family in Beitang District."

Wang Dongcheng nodded thoughtfully, the four items coincided with the old woman's confession.The other three people have been found out, so Aaron Yan is probably the dead person in the county where he is now, that is, the person who was not found out at the time.

The county is divided into four districts, Xicheng District, Jinsha District, Beitang District and Nanming District.Nanming District is the most prosperous, while Xicheng District is the poorest and relatively the least populated.Then it is necessary for him to visit the other three districts one by one. If he guesses correctly, the other three districts also have the bottle of blood found in the grove.

"So have you noticed the missing persons case three years ago?" Wang Dongcheng asked suddenly.

"Missing persons case?" Wei Qing frowned apologetically, "The subordinates didn't pay attention. Does your lord mean to investigate further?"

"Well. Try to hurry up." Wang Dongcheng nodded, "I'll just read these two volumes. When you get back, go and read the volumes in the yamen. Come back and report to me as soon as you have any news."

"Yes." Wei Qing replied forcefully, then turned and left Wang's residence.

After dinner, Wang Dongcheng walked to the room where Aaron Yan lived.The house is clean and everything is neatly arranged.Wang Dongcheng's gaze lingered in the room unconsciously, and suddenly a shiny object on the table caught his attention.He approached and picked it up, and saw that it was a piece of jade, and the color was very good.He couldn't help wondering, does Aaron Yan have the kind of money to buy this kind of precious jade?

Noticing a line of small characters on the jade face, Wang Dongcheng read out softly: "Because it is fate. Wu Genglin."

Who is this Wu Genglin?Well, it seems that this piece of jade should be something that Aaron Yan accidentally picked up, and then put it here and forgot to take it away.Wang Dongcheng put the jade into his arms and lay down on the bed.

Aaron Yan's face appeared in his mind.Wang Dongcheng sighed, suddenly a feeling of powerlessness filled his whole body, and the feeling that Aaron Yan could not return to the past became stronger and stronger. Aaron Yan's avoidance attitude now is definitely no less than his own back then. The only frankness was also hasty.

That day, Aaron Yan went to visit him, and he couldn't bear to quarrel with Aaron Yan any longer.

"What do you think? Isn't my good attitude not obvious enough?"

"Because you're obvious, you're good, so I'm going to accept it? Wang Dongcheng, why haven't I noticed that you're so selfish? It's been two years, because of your words, I'm going to let go of all my dignity and act like I have nothing. Staying with you like a heart disease? You think too simply."

"Yes, I admit that I am selfish, but no matter what you say about me, I still want to be with you. This relationship has not faded, and I have figured everything out. Isn't this enough?"

"I don't want to quarrel with you. I just want to say one thing. People who have never stood still and waited will not understand the feeling of standing for a long time without being able to bend their legs. I have tasted this feeling, so I am afraid. That's it Bar."

Thinking about it, Wang Dongcheng's tears rolled down the corner of his eyes, and he clenched his fist tightly.Aaron Yan, don't think that only you can say this sentence, I have waited for you for a long time, and we are even.So start all over again, can't you?

After packing up his mood, Wang Dongcheng returned to his study, opened the file and began to investigate carefully.If it is said that Aaron Yan was not found to be the one who fell into the water at the beginning, then as long as the missing persons case that matches the time of the incident is found, Aaron Yan's true identity can be known.

However, during the investigation, a very interesting case caught Wang Dongcheng's attention.

[In 256, Xia, Wu Mingxiu of the Wu Mansion, his wife Lin Shi, and his daughter Wu Minpei all died in a fire, and the only son Wu Genglin survived. 】

Wu Genglin?Wang Dongcheng took out the piece of jade just now from his arms, the name engraved on the jade was undoubtedly the same person as that on the file.He survived alone?So what now?

[Later, someone reported that Wu Mingxiu had a dispute with the master of the Wang family on the day of the incident. 】

Had an argument with your father?Wang Dongcheng was startled, could this matter have something to do with his father?Every word and every word on the dossier pointed the suspicion of the murderer at his father.But the upright image of his father is something Wang Dongcheng can't erase. The father he has always admired cannot be the criminal who set fire to the murderer.Absolutely impossible, it must have been a mistake.Rubbing the smooth jade surface with his fingers, Wang Dongcheng thought secretly.

There was no mention of Wu Genglin's situation in the file, but his intuition told Wang Dongcheng that this matter would definitely not be that simple, and subsequent things must continue to happen, but no one knew about it.The truth about the fire in Wu's mansion, Wu Genglin's current situation, these are things that need to be clarified.Moreover, in 256, exactly five years ago, as long as Wu Genglin's disappearance was found, then Wu Genglin might be Yan Yalun.Now we are waiting for news from Wei Qing.

I hope that the news that Wei Qing brings to him can further develop the incident instead of standing still.But the news that Wei Qing brought the next day was not satisfactory.

Wei Qing told Wang Dongcheng that there were many disappearance cases five years ago, but none of them coincided with the time of the drowning incident, and most of them happened in winter.

The gears of events rolling forward got stuck, Wang Dongcheng pressed his temple with a headache, raised his head and asked, "Is there any case about Wu Genglin?"

"Wu Genglin?" Wei Qing said the name silently, the syllables were familiar but vague.Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Your Excellency, you mean Wu Genglin, the son of the Wu family?"

"Yes!" Wang Dongcheng became excited, "Do you know him?"

"Yeah." Wei Qing nodded, "It's amazing that he was the only one who survived the fire in the Wu Mansion five years ago. But I haven't seen him since then, and I don't know what's going on now. "

What Wei Qing said was actually not said, Wang Dongcheng was speechless for a while, but he could still hear the key point of what he said clearly.After the fire, Wu Genglin could be said to have disappeared. Even if no one reported the crime, the fact that Wu Genglin might be missing could not be erased.Confidence rekindled in Wang Dongcheng's eyes, and he said to Wei Qing, "Wei Qing, prepare dry food and luggage, let's go to Xicheng District first."
