drowning tide

The storage room is at the corner of the corridor and the stairs, and the only window reveals a cobalt blue light. Yi Huai presses the switch by the wall, and the dim tobacco-colored light instantly spreads out.

Some things that are not used on weekdays are piled up here. An’s mother just cleaned up some time ago, and the plastic sheet covering the old furniture is not too heavy. Walk.

He remembered that his things were placed in the innermost piece, unless someone moved it... Thinking of this, he saw the model of the White Eagle cruiser that Fei Chuan gave him, which occupied a large open space by itself. A beautiful metallic sheen reflected in the dim light.

The closet is full of his old things: obsolete electronic products, high school textbooks and notebooks, awards and trophies won, models that were too late to assemble, and so on.

These were not what he was looking for. He squatted down, dragged out three cardboard boxes from the bottom of the cabinet, cut off the tape on the outside with a utility knife, and took out all the contents inside for inspection.

There was nothing he wanted in the first two boxes, and when it came to the third one, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating: the things he brought back from Germany were basically in these boxes except for those upstairs. If you can't find it, it means it's really not there.

The last box was opened, and what came into view was the neatly folded bachelor's uniform. After he removed this group of things, he saw a very ordinary flat metal box.

The moment he saw the box, the three characters "found it" appeared in his heart, and he immediately fell to the ground in relief.The box he had been looking for for a long time contained only a plain handkerchief with yellowed edges, and the mottled old blood on it turned into a color similar to dark black.

This is enough, so that he has collected several key keys to the door of truth.

The safest way to confirm his relationship with Luo Yi is to do another paternity test.The paternity test requires the DNA of both parties. He can say for himself, but where to get Luo Yi's DNA has become the biggest problem: he can't get into Luo Yi's room, and he may not be able to find what he needs if he goes in.

Stuck in the step of obtaining evidence, he put this plan on hold for the time being, until tonight, when Nie Xicheng asked him if he had any plans for this year's birthday, a very vague thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

During the many years of living with Luo Yi, he had no habit of celebrating his birthday, and Luo Yi would not specially celebrate his birthday, except for one time, which was his 20th birthday.

He spent his birthday with Luo Yi that year - that month Luo Yi happened to be discussing business in Germany, remembering that his birthday was approaching, so he stopped by Fei Chuan to visit him.

When we met, he noticed that Luo Yi was covered with bandages. This was the only time he saw Luo Yi injured, so he couldn't help but cast a second glance.

"Having a little trouble."

Noticing his gaze, Luo Yi said calmly, but he didn't explain to him in detail what kind of trouble it was, and he certainly didn't dare to ask.

At the dinner table, because of embarrassment and some inexplicable resistance, he wanted to bury his head in the plate, and then he heard Luo Yi say again, "Hold your head up, the reason I asked someone to teach you table manners is not to let you An ostrich in front of me."

"sorry."

They had a meal together, and on the way to send him back to the apartment after the meal, the "little trouble" that Luo Yi called came to them again.

As long as he lives by Luo Yi's side, he will definitely encounter such things. From the initial panic, he gradually becomes numb and calm. Just as he was thinking this way, he caught a glimpse of Luo Yi taking off his coat from the corner of his eye, revealing the quilt underneath. Blood stained shirt.

The wound on Luo Yi's shoulder was cracked again, and when he pressed his hand, the blood trickled down from between his fingers. He looked at it for a while, and finally took out the handkerchief cautiously and handed it over.

"Use this."

Luo Yi glanced at him, took the handkerchief and covered the wound, and soon the plain handkerchief was also stained red.

There was a hail of guns and bullets outside, and the bulletproof reinforced car enveloped them in silence. After an unknown amount of time, it became quiet outside again. He felt that this matter was over, and suddenly he heard Luo Yi's voice.

"Thank you."

He stared blankly at this person, but Luo Yi didn't speak to him again, and turned to look at Fei Chuan who was coming towards them.

"You're all right...Yi Huai, look at Mr. Luo, I'll be right back."

Fei Chuan looked at them solemnly for three seconds, then turned his head and went to the back to get a first-aid kit for Luo Yi to deal with in an emergency—although he didn't read much, he was professionally trained in these things, and maybe some people in the hospital Nurses are not as skilled as him.

There was a hidden compartment under the seat, and in the dark compartment was a loaded pistol. Fei Chuan meant that as long as the person who came was not him, he would shoot immediately.

"Here, I'll give you this back."

When something like this happened, Luo Yi must be sent to the hospital first, and Fei Chuan handed him something out of the blue on the way.It was the handkerchief that bandaged Luo Yi's wound. Thinking that he had to hand in his thesis tomorrow, Yi Huai was very upset, so he just stuffed the blood-stained handkerchief into his coat pocket, and then forgot about it.

Half a month later, when he thought of this overcoat again, the blood on the handkerchief in the pocket had long since dried out, as hard as a shell had formed.This kind of unclean handkerchief was supposed to be thrown away, but somehow he kept it. He even found a box to put it in, and finally put it in the packed luggage before returning home.

"Who's in there?"

An's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Speak, or I'll call someone!"

"It's me. I'll come in and find something, and I'll go back to my room and sleep right away."

When she heard that it was him, Ann's mother stopped talking and shuffled back to the room.

Yi Huai put the handkerchief in the box, closed the lid and put it aside, then restored the contents of the box in the same way.

Fortunately, he brought it back. He has never been so grateful for his unintentional actions back then.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yi Huai explained the work matters to his assistant and left the company one step ahead of schedule.

"here we go again."

The bodyguard pointed to a car in the rearview mirror and whispered, "This car has been following us since we left the company."

Recently, there are always people following his car, doing nothing but following behind, annoying like flies.

Is he a warm person?On the first day he was followed, he asked Nie Xicheng, and Nie Xicheng said that he didn't see any suspicious guys on the way home alone.If it was Wen Fan who did it, he would never be able to attack only himself. What's more, Wen Fan now has to deal with Xu Qin and Wen Zhicheng on the one hand, and on the other hand has to deal with the crisis of the company being acquired. ...If you think about it this way, the answer is very clear.

"Can you get rid of it?"

Luo's driver and bodyguard had received professional anti-tracking training, and after giving him an affirmative answer, they changed their route, preparing to throw off this suspicious stalker at a suitable place.

Because of the long detour, Yi Huai arrived at the destination almost three o'clock, half an hour later than the scheduled time.

Lihua Paternity Test Center, the most qualified paternity test center in Rongcheng, has a long-term cooperative relationship with the local judiciary. It is said that many famous people have been tested here, including the one who is making a lot of noise because of inheritance. Brother Wen, it can be said that the accuracy of the results is very reassuring.

After confirming that it was my appointment, the person in charge of the center took Yi Huai to the VIP room inside to explain the details.

In order to protect the privacy of the guests, the corridors here are ingeniously designed. Generally speaking, it is difficult to meet other people who come to make appraisals if there are staff leading them.

"Mr. Yi, what are you going to do and what will you use?"

Yi Huai hummed, and took out the handkerchief in a sealed plastic bag, "Can it be done? The blood is old."

The person in charge has received hundreds of guests who came for appraisal. He has seen such strange evidence as dandruff, vagina, and sanitary napkins. He couldn't help laughing when he saw such a large handkerchief. stand up.

"You don't worry too much, as long as the blood stains are not contaminated, you can do it, and..."

He lowered his voice, "Our technology here is relatively advanced, and the machines were newly purchased last year. The police came to borrow equipment a while ago, because the test results of their forensic laboratory were not accurate, so the samples were slightly contaminated. It doesn't affect the end result at all."

"I see."

Before Yi Huai came to check the relevant information, he knew that what he said should not be a lie - if it is not accurate here, then there is basically no place in Rongcheng that can be accurate.

"With whom are you going to compare the blood on this handkerchief?"

Usually, the person who does the appraisal is himself, but for the sake of insurance, he still needs to confirm.

"Myself, do I need to draw blood?"

"No, there's no need, finger blood is enough. Oh, by the way, sign the non-disclosure agreement first."

He pressed the printer next to him, and the printer spit out paper in two copies. Yi Huai took it over and read it, and signed his name after making sure there was no problem.

"Please keep it safe." The person in charge handed him the signed and stamped agreement, and pressed the contact bell to call the nurse.

The nurse wearing a mask pricked Yi Huai's finger, leaving a few clear blood spots with a diameter of about 1 cm on the sterile filter paper.

"You won't confuse it with other people's?"

"How is it possible?" The person in charge repeatedly retorted, "All the samples are numbered, and you can know it with a scan of the label. How could there be confusion?"

The two samples were sealed and pasted with barcodes in front of him, and then sent to the appraisal department. Yi Huai let go of the alcohol cotton ball in his hand, "How soon will the results be available?"

"Generally it's five to seven business days."

Generally speaking, the subtext is still unusual, Yi Huai didn't answer, just watching the blood oozing out from the fingertips that just took blood.

The man observed his expression, "It's not impossible to hurry up in three to five days, it depends on the arrangement of the department."

"Two days, the appraisal fee will be charged according to the highest standard." Yi Huai didn't have time to deal with him, "I'll get the appraisal result in two days."
