Relying on one's own hair

Qiao Ran was shocked, and could hardly believe her ears. She grabbed his arm unconsciously, and her voice was trembling: "Really? Why didn't you tell me before?"

Van Lundin stretched out his hand to support his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "After the elevator kidnapping case, I also lost my memory. I don't remember what happened at that time, and I also forgot you. Today, my grandmother remembered this incident after meeting an insider from that year, and then Tell me, I just found out we crossed paths when we were young."

Qiao Ran's eyes were sore and hot, and his heart was both happy and worried, "I only found out about this when I visited Grandma Mary in City C last time. My mental body disappeared after that accident. I want to find that middle school student and ask about the details of the incident, thinking that maybe I can find out the reason why my mental body disappeared, but I don’t know who he is, and I don’t have his contact information. I forgot what happened at that time, so what should I do..."

Van Lundin took him into his arms and gently patted his back, like comforting a sad and helpless child, "It's okay, don't be sad, I will accompany you to find out the truth. No matter what the result is, from now on I will always be with you."

Qiao Ran buried her head in front of his solid chest, sniffed lightly, "Okay."

Early the next morning, the two took the shuttle to City C, and then went straight to the city police station.

Van Lundin directly revealed his identity to Police Chief Burton and asked to check the files of the year. The other party did not dare to neglect, and accompanied them to the file room while explaining: "The case 16 years ago is a bit early. The police chief at the time He died of a heart attack two years later, and the police officers involved in the case have either retired or been transferred to other places, so I don’t know much about this case, but I will help if I can.”

"Thank you," said Valentine.

When he arrived at the archives room, Burton turned on the optical computer, entered the high-level key, and searched for the museum elevator kidnapping case 16 years ago. Soon all the information about the case came out.

Qiao Ran couldn't help feeling a little disappointed after quickly browsing through it. The case records in the file were similar to what he and Fan Lundin had learned so far, and there was no new information.

The criminal who kidnapped Van Lundin, Ronald, was a B-rank sentinel. He used to serve in the army.In his confession, he claimed that he saw that Van Lundin was well dressed and guessed that he was from a wealthy family, so he became malicious and wanted to kidnap him to extort a large amount of money, so he destroyed the power supply facilities of the museum when Van Lundin was taking the elevator, causing the elevator to appear. The failure stopped on the fifth floor, and he planned to knock Van Lundin unconscious and take him away in the dark.

However, Ronald underestimated the strength of this middle school student, and did not expect that there was another person in the elevator besides Van Lundin. The two attacked him at the same time, but beat him half to death. After waking up, he was handcuffed to the police station inside.The record of this confession is relatively simple, and some places are vague.

According to the follow-up records in the file, Ronald was sentenced to 16 years in prison for several crimes such as large-scale theft, robbery and wounding, disturbing public order, and attempted kidnapping. He was detained in the Sentinel Special Prison in District 5. .

16 years?Doesn't that just happen to be out of prison this year?

Van Lundin immediately said: "Mr. Sheriff, please contact the prison for me. If Ronald is not released from prison, I would like to confirm some details with him."

Burton was very cooperative, and immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Hey, man, I need your help with something. Find out for me a guy named Ronald, who was arrested 16 years ago because of the elevator kidnapping at the C City Museum. I got caught, have you been released from prison now... what? Dead? No way... um, ok, I see, thank you brother, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Qiao Ran's heart sank.

Burton put away his mobile phone, and said helplessly, "Three years ago, there was a riot in that prison where prisoners planned to escape. Ronald also participated in it, and was shot and killed by the prison guard."

This is great, the only insider and witness died, and the clues were completely cut off.

Thanks to Burton, after leaving the police station, Qiao Ran sighed, the truth of that year may never be found out.

Valentine embraced his shoulders, kissed his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Even if you can't find out or get your spirit body back, it doesn't matter, you have me, and Amao, we are destined to meet at 16." Reunited after a year and became a couple."

The lion had been quietly following the two of them before, and now he whimpered and licked the back of Qiao Ran's hand.

With a surge of enthusiasm in Qiao Ran's heart, he stroked the lion's mane, and then kissed the corner of the sentry's lips back on the streets of City C.

Yes, I don't have nothing. He has Valentin and Amao, which are enough to make up for all the regrets. Whether he knows the truth of what happened back then is not so important.

Qiao Ran suddenly thought about it, no longer obsessed with that old past, and felt a lot easier in an instant.

Then Qiao Ran bought a bouquet of white lilies and took Fan Lundin to the C city cemetery.

After entering the cemetery, Qiao Ran put the lilies in front of Grandma Mary's grave, and said in a low voice, "Grandma Mary, didn't you worry that I was too lonely last time? Now I have a partner. His name is Valentin Hall. His ancestral home is in C City, and he treats me very well."

Valentine stepped forward to hold his hand, interlocked his fingers, and then bowed to the tombstone, "Grandma Mary, don't worry, I will take good care of Joe."

After coming out of the cemetery, they went to the mall to buy many small gifts, and then went to the Sunflower Orphanage to visit the children together.

As soon as Qiao Ran came, the children were very happy and rushed towards him, shouting "Mr. Xiao Qiao".Immediately afterwards, they found a very tall stranger standing beside Teacher Xiao Qiao. Although he was very handsome, his cold expression looked a bit scary, so the children hesitated to stop, not daring to get too close.

Valentine touched his nose with a slightly depressed expression.

Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing, and introduced to the children: "This is Teacher Hall. He doesn't like to laugh very much, but he is very nice. Look, he bought all the gifts in the yard for you. .”

The little ones turned their heads and saw that there were indeed several big boxes in the yard. The toys, snacks and various stationery and books inside were piled up like several hills. Rushing to call "Mr. Hall".

Fan Lundin's expression didn't change much, but the eyes in his eyes softened a lot. He and Qiao Ran distributed gifts to the children.

Dean Brian was also a little surprised by the arrival of Qiao Ran and Fan Lundin. Qiao Ran was a little embarrassed but solemnly introduced Fan Lundin to him, and then said: "We are back today to do some business, and we will stop by to visit the children after we are done. .”

Qiao Ran once sent a message to Brian after he left City A to go to the imperial capital with Fan Lundin. At that time, he was just the assistant of the latter, and now the two became partners in a blink of an eye. It can be seen, so Brian was surprised and very relieved. He shook hands with Valentine and said sincerely: "You are welcome. Joe is a good boy. You will be very happy together."

"Thank you," said Valentine.

After spending a happy afternoon with the children, the two returned to the imperial capital that night.Although this trip did not achieve the purpose of coming, it has also gained a lot.

Life continues on the established track.

Two months passed in a flash. At the end of this semester, Fan Lundin completed the teaching task of "Theory and Practical Combat" with an excellent performance of all five stars in all evaluations. Qiao Ran also took all the exams of the ten courses he studied.

In fact, he is just a transfer student, and it doesn't matter whether he takes the exam or not. Unlike regular students, there are rigid rules. The teachers don't have any expectations of how much Qiao Ran listens to or whether he can pass the exam.However, during the two-month class period, this transfer student had a relatively correct attitude towards learning, and did not cause any trouble to the college, nor did he rely on his partner being Major General Hall to be arrogant. The teachers and students had a good impression of Qiao Ran. Not bad, but only good.

Since Qiao Ran wants to take the test, let's take the test. If the results are not satisfactory, just don't cry and complain to his major general.

One of the exams that Qiao Ran took was "The Use of Mental Power of Guides" by Julian's department. Guide students need to wear a helmet, and then mobilize their mental power to comb the brain of a bionic robot simulating sentinel mania and appease.The helmet is connected to a precision instrument, which will automatically record data such as the range and strength of the candidate's mental power fluctuations, and the teacher will then judge the candidate's grade based on these data.

That morning, when the invigilator saw Qiao Ran walking into the examination room, he couldn't help being very surprised, and confirmed with him: "Mr. Qiao, do you really want to take this test?"

Forget about other exams, he really can't think of a reason for a half-hearted guide without a spiritual body to take this exam, isn't he afraid of humiliating himself?

Qiao Ran smiled, "Yes, I want to try."

The invigilator couldn't bear to say anything to hurt him, so he said, "That's fine, I wish you good luck!"

"Thank you."

That night, the marking teacher found a test paper with very special data, and immediately notified the department head and several class counselors in surprise.

Several people were very surprised after reading the test paper. When they found out that the candidate was Qiao Ran, they couldn't help but fell into unbelievable contemplation together.

After a while, a counselor said: "Looking at the results of the data analysis, the ability is almost the same as that of an A-level guide, but that Joe doesn't even have a mental body. It is said that some of the brain nerves have been necrotic. How could he have such a strong spirit?" Power? Could it be that he used some special means to cheat?"

Another person shook his head, "Every candidate has undergone a full-body scan before the exam, so the possibility of cheating is basically zero. Besides, why does he need to cheat? Just with the title of 'Major General Hall's Companion', he can be pampered at home It's too spicy."

The other three speculated: "Is it possible that it was just a coincidence that his brain nerves had a sudden change in electrical waves during the exam?"

The rest said together: "This is too coincidental!"

The head of the department raised his hand and stopped several counselors from continuing to argue, "Whether it's cheating or a coincidence, don't say anything about it, lest the students' discussions will have a bad effect. After the exams and field training are over, look at his How about the comprehensive results, I will see if I should report the situation to the school leaders at that time."

Several counselors nodded together, "Okay, let's do this."
