"You two, please drink some water."
Zhang Tong, who was over fifty years old, poured two cups of hot water for the two detectives who came to inquire about the matter, but there was always a sad look on his face.
She was worried that her incompetent son would be in trouble again.
Zhao Kai saw it and said nothing. He just took out the population registration file brought from the detective agency.
"Sister Zhang, do you still have an impression of this census file?"
Zhang Tong was slightly stunned. It seemed that he was not here for his son. He immediately took the file handed over by Zhao Kai, put on his glasses, and looked at it carefully.
"This file was made during the last 10-year census. At that time, I was indeed one of the archivists of Qingliu Community. This Bauhinia Garden is my statistical area. What's wrong, Inspector Zhao?"
Zhao Kai and Lin Wan looked at each other and continued to ask.
"Then what impression do you have of Lin Jiandong and his wife?"
"Lin Jiandong..."
Zhang Tong stared at the name on the file for a long time, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, and finally shook his head.
"I have no impression. Does he live in Bauhinia Garden? How come I have no impression at all...it's strange."
"Back then, Bauhinia Garden was indeed the area I was responsible for. I worked in that area for seven or eight years, doing community maintenance, population statistics, and family planning... In addition, I was also the owner of Bauhinia Garden, so basically all the residents were covered by me. Impressive."
"Not to mention that Lin Jiandong has an adopted daughter, so I should have better memory, but now...I'm sorry, Detective Zhao, I may be old and have really forgotten some things. I have no impression of this family at all. .”
Zhang Tong returned the file to Zhao Kai with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Judging from Zhao Kai's many years of criminal investigation experience, Zhang Tong did not lie.
"Agent Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Wan kept holding his hands, and Zhang Tong's every move, expression, and micro-movement were not missed by him.
Just as Zhao Kai thought, what Zhang Tong said was true.
"Sister Zhang, do you know why this Bauhinia Garden was demolished?"
"Oh, it was because of the old city renovation plan that the Bauhinia Garden was too dilapidated and there was no need to renovate it. A shopping mall needed to be built in that area, so it was demolished."
"Haha, to tell you the truth, I also got some money because of that demolition."
The two detectives didn't mention anything about their son, which made Zhang Tong relax a little. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and started to talk more.
"So that's it. By the way, Sister Zhang, Lin Jiandong's adopted daughter was named Lin Xiao. She later disappeared. The place of disappearance was Mochou East Road. Do you have any impressions about this?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tong pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "Really not, Agent Lin."
"Not only this girl, but also this missing case, I have no impression. The security of our community is very good. There have been no missing cases in so many years. Could this be false..."
Zhang Tong did not continue. She knew that it was not in her interest to talk nonsense.
Zhao Kai waved his hand: "It's okay, Sister Zhang. If you have any ideas, just say it. Today we are not making a formal record or anything, it is just a normal visit and investigation."
"Oh, that's right. Actually, I doubt that the file in your hands was forged by some criminals. There really is no such family of three in Bauhinia Garden, and I have never heard of a missing person case."
"But if it is true, I think you can go to Mochou Road Primary School and ask. The child disappeared on Mochou East Road. It was in the morning, and he should be on his way to school."
Afterwards, Zhao Kai asked some details about the census that year, and Zhang Tong answered fluently, with clear logic and complete memory.
But there is still no news about Lin Jiandong.
“That’s it for today, thank you for your cooperation.”
"Then I'll see you off a short distance away. You two should walk slowly."
Zhao Kai and Lin Wan stood up and left. When Zhang Tong was about to close the door when they walked out of the door, Lin Wan suddenly turned around.
The dark eyes stared into Zhang Tong's eyes, and the latter's body immediately stiffened.
"By the way, one more question, Sister Zhang, do you have any impressions of the murder of Lu Zhiming twenty years ago?"
At this time, Zhang Tong seemed to have fallen into a strange state of stillness. The expression on his face was very confused, but his eyes were extremely clear.
After Lin Wan finished speaking, Zhang Tong spoke slowly.
"Lu Zhiming... I have no impression. Who is he?"
…
Zhao Kai, who returned to the car, was worried. He loosened his tight collar, opened the window, and lit a cigarette.
It seemed like this would allow him to catch his breath.
Lin Wan sat in the driver's seat and analyzed: "Twenty years ago, based on Zhang Tong's age, she should have just graduated from college and came to work in the community. Therefore, she could not have known about Lu Zhiming's death."
"But she definitely didn't lie!" Zhao Kai turned around and stared at Lin Wan.
"Then are you sure that Lu Zhiming's case shocked the entire Baiyun City?"
"I'm sure! The reports at that time were overwhelming, and all kinds of conspiracies were rampant."
"Okay, let's go."
"Where to go?"
"Your home." After Lin Wan finished speaking, he kicked the accelerator and blasted out.
…
Leave Zhao Kai's home.
Lin Wan was still sitting in the driver's seat, but he didn't start the car.
The back of the co-pilot, Zhao Kai, was already wet with cold sweat.
"What's going on, Lin Wan, what on earth is going on!"
At this time, Zhao Kai was almost going crazy.
His parents had never heard of Lu Zhiming's case, as if those gossips and various details of the case were all what happened in Zhao Kai's own dreams!
This is simply, so unreasonable!
Obviously, most of these things were told to me by my parents, but now, they say they have no impression at all!
"Call." Lin Wan's tone was very calm, which made Zhao Kai's mood much more stable.
"Are you still checking? Brother Lin, I feel like I'm about to collapse."
This thing is so weird.
It would be okay if it was in the Abyss of Fear, but this was reality, something that really happened in the Federation, which made Zhao Kai even more frightened.
"Why not check?" Lin Wan raised his eyebrows.
"Don't you want to know what's behind all this?"
The bewitching voice echoed in the car. Zhao Kai put out the cigarette in his hand and spoke fiercely.
"Damn it, even if I die, I will accompany you this time!"
"Tell me! Who to call!"
"Li Hua."
Thirty minutes later.
A black SUV stopped in front of Li Hua.
"Master, why are you in such a hurry to find me? Brother Lin is here too? What's going on?"
"Xiaohua, I want to ask you something, and you must answer truthfully."
Zhao Kai's sudden seriousness made Li Hua feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, and he said blankly: "Ask me, master, are there any secrets that we can hide?"
call……
Zhao Kai took a deep breath and asked: "Lu Zhiming, do you have any impression of the Lu Zhiming case twenty years ago?"
Hearing this, Li Hua frowned and held his chin with one hand, wondering: "I don't know, who is Lu Zhiming? What happened twenty years ago? I was just born at that time. Is this man a fugitive?"
Zhao Kai leaned weakly against the passenger seat.
inside the car.
Lin Wan's eyes were strange, and an idea emerged in his mind.
"It's okay, go and do your work."
"Oh, then I'm in, master." Li Hua was confused and turned back to the detective agency.
Immediately.
Zhao Kai looked back at the driver. Just as he was about to open his mouth and say something, he heard Lin Wan, who had already gotten out of the car, spit out two cold words.
"get off."
"Where to go?"
"shop."
"Shopping...shopping?"
…
one afternoon.
Zhao Kai and Lin Wan visited some of the busiest streets and business districts in Baiyun City.
I asked young people, old people, vendors, bosses...
They asked all kinds of people.
But no one has heard of Lu Zhiming.
Twenty years ago, former Chief Inspector Lu Zhiming, who was hanged in the Baiyun City Library, mysteriously disappeared from their memories.
Only Zhao Kai remembered.
wrong.
Lin Wan sat on the stone pier at the exit of the pedestrian street, and Zhao Kai next to him was in a daze.
"Zhao Kai."
"I am here."
"Do you have any abyss player friends from Baiyun City?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Call and ask them. Oh, by the way, it was a player two months ago. Priority is given."
…
"Hello? Brother Zhao, why did you remember to call me?"
"It's okay. I want to ask you, do you still have an impression of Lu Zhiming from Baiyun City?"
"Yes, isn't that the former chief detective who was killed twenty years ago?"
"You know about this?"
"Yes, doesn't everyone know about this? What's wrong? Is there any new development in the case?"
"Haha, that's it. It's okay. Thanks."
After hanging up the first call, Zhao Kai finally confirmed that he was not crazy.
He spoke to Lin Wan with excitement.
"He knows this person! He became an Abyss player more than a year ago and is now a senior investigator. He is very capable!"
"Well, keep fighting."
"oh."
Zhao Kai could only see calmness on Lin Wan's face, as if he had known the result for a long time.
So I continued to call.
"You said Lu Zhiming, wasn't he the former chief detective? He was killed in the library. What happened?"
"Lu Zhiming? I know, that case caused a sensation in Baiyun. I was still a child wearing crotchless pants at the time! Haha!"
"Lu Zhiming... I have no impression. What's wrong, Captain Zhao?"
"I don't remember, is he also a player?"
Soon, Zhao Kai made several calls. According to Lin Wan, priority was given to people who were players two months ago.
These players all clearly remember Lu Zhiming’s case.
But the new players who have been there for two months have no idea!
They are all from Baiyun City.
There is no error in the received information, so there is no reason at all.
Zhao Kai couldn't figure out why he didn't know.
"It's simple, because they are sick." Lin Wan sat on the stone pier, chewing the lollipop he cheated from Xiao Muzong.
He kind of wants to know why Xiaomuzhu can bring real-life lollipops into the game.
But this can only be asked in person, and it may involve other people's little secrets.
"Sick? What do you mean, I don't understand." Zhao Kai put his phone in his pocket and squatted down. The way Lin Wan ate a lollipop showed him that he was hungry. He had been busy all day without eating.
"You'll understand later, let's go."
Realizing that Zhao Kai's eyes were on his lollipop, Lin Wan quickly put it away and stood up to leave.
"Where to go?"
"Eating, of course."
"Huh? No more checking?"
"Check it, you can't have the energy to check it until you're full!"
