Linzhou Municipal Bureau

When Quan Yifeng and Ji Lian followed Quan Guifang to Wang Hongqing's house, Wang Hongqing just came back from the bank.

Knowing that Quan Guifang had confessed his life experience to his son, apart from being surprised, Wang Hongqing felt more relieved deep in his heart.On this day, he specially retrieved a small box from the bank.It was an old object that had been in the bank's safe for more than ten years.

Holding the box, Wang Hongqing glanced at Ji Lian with some hesitation.Quan Yifeng quickly explained: "Uncle, Ji Lian has been investigating these things with me, and he can know everything I know."

Wang Hongqing glanced at Quan Guifang again, and got a positive look from the other party.He breathed a deep thoughtful breath before taking out the key from the safe in the study and opening the box.

What was presented in front of everyone was a very old document.

Quan Yifeng and Ji Lian looked at this treasured document, feeling both familiar and strange.Familiarity comes from the appearance of the interrogation transcript of the Criminal Police Brigade of Linzhou City Bureau on it, while the strangeness lies in its style, which is too old, and even the borders of the form on it retain traces of handwork.

The date in the inscription, which is 29 years and eight months old, silently tells its readers how time flies.

"This confession is part of the case you mentioned to me, the big human trafficking case 30 years ago?" Quan Yifeng took the gloves on and carefully flipped through the transcript. Not surprisingly, The name of Wang Hongqing's son Wang Dong was seen in the criminal's statement.

"Yes, this is the confession of the principal culprit Wu Qiang." This devil's name that makes him remember every time he mentions it, even though it has been dusty for so many years, it is still the thorn in the most secret place in his heart. "I almost fell under the hands of that devil back then. It was Lian Feng, your father, who rescued me from the devil's grasp."

Lianfeng, this name that seems to be carrying a ball of fire, after many years, he can finally mention it in front of people again.Wang Hongqing didn't expect that the moment he said the name of the old man, his heart was shaken violently.

Quan Guifang was much calmer than him at the moment, perhaps because her confession to her son had given her the courage to bring up the old story again.She raised her hand and patted the old friend's shoulder lightly. Over the years, the past was more or less silent.

Lianfeng.

Helian Peak.

Quan Yifeng finally saw this name for the first time in the old official files of the Municipal Bureau Brigade.An illusory sense of reality that spans time and space rushes over us.This person who is connected with his blood and has never met, like a ray of light on the horizon, walked straight towards him from under the stars 29 years ago.

Quan Yifeng had never imagined everything about this person before.But those imaginations that were thought to be close to the truth seem to be too pale at this moment.From seeing his photo for the first time, hearing his name for the first time, confirming that he was once a criminal policeman for the first time, to seeing and touching his handwriting for the first time.Whether it is the mysterious power hidden deep in the genes, or the seduction of longing that has never been revealed, Quan Yifeng feels a powerful force that is dragging him out of the materialistic worldview he has believed in for more than 20 years.

And this power is too real, too flesh and blood.He saw the man open his arms to him like a father opens his arms for his child.He felt a big warm hand caressing himself gently across his mother's soft belly; he saw two young people drinking together in a street food stall on a hot summer evening, and one of them was excitedly talking with his friend Announcing the joy of his soon-to-be father; he heard the young man take his fiancée by the hand and make a solemn promise that against all odds he would make her the happiest bride.

Just in the blink of an eye, everything disappeared.The blood that suddenly splattered soared into the sky, dyeing the entire He family's house red.Immediately afterwards, silent gunpowder rose everywhere, and the dust settled in a burst of suffocating secrecy.

"This file was given to me by Lianfeng on the day of the accident." Wang Hongqing's hoarse voice pulled Quan Yifeng back from the purgatory on earth 29 years ago.

Quan Guifang has listened to Wang Hongqing's memories of the day of the incident no less than ten times over the years. Whether it is to understand the facts or to explore the truth, every time the old incident is brought up again, to her, it is still like being cut by a knife in her heart. mouth.

"At noon that day, Lian Feng came to my stall. He came by bicycle. It wasn't particularly hot in August that year, but he was sweating profusely, his uniform was soaked, and he looked anxious."

"My stall at that time was very small, and all kinds of goods hung from the inside to the outside could almost bury the people inside. He leaned his bicycle aside and got in directly. Said that there was a very important matter to be entrusted to me, and asked me if I would like to help with this. I have a lifelong friendship with him, so naturally I nodded without hesitation. He immediately pulled me into the room. Said yes The inside is actually a small space separated by a curtain, but it is enough to separate it from the outside world. At that time, he took out this file from the hidden pocket of his uniform and stuffed it into my arms. Tell me that I must keep this material well, and absolutely not let the third person know that he came to me today.

"Lianfeng has an upright personality, but he is not a straight-faced person. But that day, his expression and tone were very serious, so serious that it gave me a chill down my spine. Until now, I can clearly recall my time at that time. Feeling. I don’t know what this file means, but I know that he regards me as the most trustworthy friend, and he is entrusting me with a crucial evidence!”

When Wang Hongqing talked about the excitement, he had to stop.Quan Yifeng moved a chair for him, he sat down and panted for a while, looked at Quan Guifang's worried eyes and nodded, and continued: "The only regret is that I didn't have time to ask him carefully at that time. He just received a pager message and left in a hurry. But I remember very clearly that he turned his head and said something to me before he left. He said very softly. The pure factor'."

Before the two young men present recovered from the shock, Wang Hongqing said again: "For so many years, I have been wondering why Lianfeng took the risk of taking this record out of the team and gave it to the police in violation of regulations. I am such a person outside the system. I have read this transcript thousands of times, and every detail in it has been engraved in my mind, but I still can't see anything wrong. I sometimes speculate that he must have encountered some strange situation at the time, but in fact he has not yet determined what the problem is, and it may be out of his intuition to bring this record out of the city bureau. Don't laugh at me The idea is too wild, that's because I have seen his intuition for the case when he was solving the case, it is a kind of talent."

Naturally, Ji Lian didn't laugh at Wang Hongqing, he even suddenly understood Wang Hongqing's feelings very well.He looked at Quan Yifeng, he had seen this kind of talent in the latter more than once.

"But after all, I'm not the material to solve the case. So many unexpected things happened afterwards, which made me often wonder whether Lian Feng paid the wrong record, which is more commemorative than practical to me."

Two strands of entangled white smoke rose from the study room, and the room was filled with smoke for a while.One of the two old men is holding a pipe, the other is holding a cigarette, puffing clouds and mists, reminiscing about their very different and inseparable lives.

As if he had finally made up his mind, Wang Hongqing put the pipe aside, put one hand on the side of the small box, and said: "I was not sure of my guess until that day, the day Jingjing was kidnapped. Intuition was right."

"Jingjing's kidnapping?" Quan Yifeng and Ji Lian's hearts skipped a beat almost at the same time.

Wang Hongqing didn't have time to speak further, and Quan Yifeng didn't have time to ask further, only to hear the door of the study room being knocked open from the outside with a bang, and Wang Jingjing barged in, holding a woman's hand behind her.That woman was Aunt Joan, who seldom showed up.

The sudden intrusion of the outsider not only shocked the people in the house, but the intruder himself was obviously stunned.Wang Jingjing looked at the open safe door next to the desk, the documents spread out on the desk, and the serious-looking people in the room, and her angry face suddenly turned greener.

"You are making a will?!" Wang Jingjing, like an enraged beast, pounced towards the documents on the desk, her movements were swift and violent, if not for Quan Yifeng's presence, these documents might have been brutally murdered.

"What are you going to do?!" Wang Hongqing, who just came to his senses, reprimanded loudly with a severe attitude he had never seen before.

Wang Jingjing went crazy, just like the scene in the city bureau brigade half a year ago, which gave Quan Yifeng a headache.

"It should have been him who was killed that day! It was him!" Wang Jingjing threw off Quan Yifeng on her arm and didn't clamp down too hard. The sound of screaming tore the eardrums of everyone present.

"What do you mean?" Quan Yifeng was keenly aware of the wrongness in her words at this chaotic moment, "Why should it be me?"

"That car is obviously your car! Your car! You should be the one to die!" Wang Jingjing stared at Quan Yifeng firmly, her gaze seemed to penetrate his eyes.

"How did you see my car that day?" Quan Yifeng ignored the naked provocation in his eyes, and continued to focus on the key point.

That's right, on April [-]st of this year, Wang Jingjing was kidnapped and he was on vacation.Ling Dui's own car happened to be in the factory for maintenance, so he drove away his car parked in the team in a hurry.He met Wang Jingjing on the way to track the signal of the locator. Before meeting him, the signal in Wang Jingjing's necklace was cut off for a while.He remembered that he met her not long after the signal was restored.Why is the signal interrupted?How did it recover?By the way, when did Wang Jingjing lose her necklace?Why didn't he delve into it?

Quan Yifeng widened his eyes.

"I didn't just see your car! I also secretly threw the tracker sent by my dear father back into the kidnapper's car!" Wang Jingjing said the word "father" through gritted teeth, "There is a tracker in their car Detector, as long as I turn on the locator, they will be able to find it soon!"

Therefore, since Quan Yifeng, the thorn in the side, came along, he just happened to give the kidnapper a big gift!

Shock, shock beyond all imagination.Such a little girl, I watched her grow up, no, it can almost be said that she was a little girl who grew up with me, what kind of deep malice did she have towards herself to make such a crazy move!

That's human life!

Quan Yifeng almost fell into an indescribable feeling of detachment, unable to move his whole body.

But Wang Jingjing turned to her father Wang Hongqing non-stop, and continued her roar: "These are all taught to me by the experts you hired with a lot of money. I didn't expect that your bastard almost lost its life, right?!"

"Slap!" A slap seemed to resound through the entire villa. Quan Yifeng stared at Wang Hongqing's red palm, and his own palm also felt a dull pain.He knew that this slap was for him.

"You! And you! Do you know who he is?!" Wang Hongqing laughed back angrily, his voice trembling uncontrollably. He glanced at his daughter, then at his wife, and then pointed at Quan Yifeng. People said: "He, he is the son of your father's savior! He is the only descendant that we have worked so hard to protect!"

"What you said...is it true?" Aunt Joan, who was always like an invisible person to everything, suddenly turned pale, her voice was forced out from between two dry lips, and she almost collapsed on the spot .

"What, what? What are you talking about?" Wang Jingjing didn't have time to contain her anger, but was shocked by her mother's reaction.

Wang Hongqing faced his daughter, slightly calmed down the excitement just now, and said more seriously: "His father, He Lianfeng, was once the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of Linzhou City Bureau, a good policeman who sacrificed for justice, and the one who killed your father A great benefactor who was rescued from the hands of the devil, a hero who vowed to fight criminals to the end, but was framed and exterminated, and suffered unfair treatment after death!"

However, maintaining the superficial calmness for just a few seconds is already the limit, and Wang Hongqing became more and more angry after all: "You, you, you! You said his son is a bastard?! You want to kill him!! Why did I teach you to be so indivual……"

The anxious Wang Hongqing couldn't even utter the last sentence, so he gasped.

Aunt Qiong fell to the ground with Wang Hongqing panting, and the thick carpet made her fall silently.

After so many years, the abduction and murder of his son forcefully tore an irreparable scar between the originally loving couple.The birth of Jingjing was the last salvation for their marriage as a tacit couple.And this lingering rescue has completely declared a failure at this moment.

There are probably not many people in this world who know better than her how human traffickers destroy a happy family.If it is said that the unfortunate experience made her full of disappointment and even indifference towards society and human nature, policemen like He Lianfeng who are wholeheartedly rushing to the front line of hunting down human traffickers are at least the only comfort she has ever had in mind.Even in the days when she and her husband were drifting away, although she didn't show it, she still firmly believed in He Lianfeng's innocence.

"It's none of my business," she hid in a corner where she was alone, as if defending herself, and more like deceiving herself, "It's none of my business, you didn't tell me, I don't know, I don't know anything ..."

Just like a typhoon that has been brewing for 30 years, the day it landed, it was devastated, and everyone here was sucked into the center of the storm, and the world was spinning.

If anyone present could remain calm and restrained, it would only be Ji Lian, who was still on the edge of the typhoon.At the moment when Wang Hongqing's father and daughter were confronting each other, he quickly put the files into the box and tightly protected the box in his arms.Although the timing was not right, he felt that it was necessary for him to ask Quan Yifeng to clarify the matter at this moment: "Uncle Qing, you just said that this file is related to Jingjing's kidnapping?"

It took Wang Hongqing a while to catch his breath. He looked around the room. His shocked and confused daughter, his distraught wife, Quan Yifeng who was suppressing his anger forcibly, and Quan Guifang who was heartbroken, all focused their gazes on him.He nodded, and said slowly: "Yes. The exchange that the kidnappers asked for at that time was this file. The 350 million ransom was just made up by me."

The fact that was too bizarre made Quan Yifeng return to reason like an occupational disease. He immediately remembered the information he got from Lu Zhan's senior last week, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Whose son is he, why have you concealed the truth for so many years?! You must have some ulterior secret! You are not a good person either!" shouted like a life-saving straw.

"Yes! We do have a secret!" At this point, Wang Hongqing felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, "Do you want to know why? I'll tell you now! We, you and Aunt Guifang, 14 Years ago, he thought he had killed someone! Killed the man who was beaten by a thousand knives! He was one of the members of the criminal gang who framed He Lianfeng! That one who killed the world, made Lianfeng think that he was just one of the kidnapped children who were rescued. One! We managed to find him, but he died! We all thought he was knocked to the ground by us!"

Wang Jingjing suffered the second blow today, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak, with an expression of her soul coming out of her body.

"Uncle!" Quan Yifeng stopped Wang Hongqing's self-mutilation memories in time, "You didn't kill him. I went to Qinzhou to check it myself, and it was indeed not you. You just pushed him to the ground, and at most just caused a coma. The autopsy report at that time described the cause of death very clearly, and someone else did it in the end. As long as you are sure that you did not smash his temples with a heavy object, his death is not directly related to you."

Wang Hongqing looked at Quan Yifeng, the words from the young man's mouth were simple and straightforward, but he seemed to have to spend a lot of effort to understand them.He slumped heavily into the large leather swivel chair, and the elder, who had just spoken sternly, was already in tears in an instant.He arched his back and covered his face with his hands and sobbed.

"Lianfeng, I'm useless, I'm sorry..."

I think back then, he and Quan Guifang, two young men with nothing, had suffered so much in order to search for clues to find out the truth.Finally, he found Peng Dafu with great difficulty, but because of a misunderstanding, he endured so many years of inner suffering in vain, wasting so many years of time in elucidating He Lianfeng's grievances in vain!

"Hong Qing, don't blame yourself, these things are decided by the two of us together." This life-and-death couple actually didn't need too many words, but Quan Guifang felt that she should still be in front of all relations. He explained the matter clearly from a human face, "We were all terrified at that time. We couldn't turn ourselves in. Peng Dafu deserved to die, so why would he drag us to death, let Yifeng lose his mother, and let Jingjing lose his father. We can't Take that risk."

"Three generations of the He family were loyal and loyal, they served the army and the police, and finally they were wiped out..." Quan Guifang turned to her son and said, "That year, I was just pregnant with you bastard. I didn't have time to know you, I was gone. At that time... If it wasn't for you, Uncle Qing, he hid me, I... We are afraid that if those desperate lunatics know your existence, they won't know What else will it do?"

As Quan Guifang said, tears welled up in her reddened eyes a few times, and she was forced to hold back again.As stubborn as that crazy girl who was determined to raise this "unknown" son alone.

Quan Yifeng still remembers that in the old house he lived in when he was a child, the stone steps covered with moss, the walls dripping with muddy water, the cramped corridors full of sundries, and the mechanical ticking of the wall clock in the dead of night and the dim lights The back of the mother who is still busy.He knew how the young people who had no place to stand in the huge Linzhou City struggled desperately to survive.

He put his arms around his mother's shoulders, letting her lean against his chest.Mother's shoulders were thinner than he had imagined.Fifty-two people, time has turned that fledgling big girl into this little aunt who is well-versed in the world but still forbearing and tenacious.

He looked around the study for a week.

He didn't know how the family farce, or tragedy in front of him, would end, but he knew that he had a more important thing to do right now.

"Mom, Uncle Qing, I have something very urgent to ask for confirmation. I..." He patted his mother on the shoulder, but it was really hard to say at such a time to leave a mess behind.

Wang Hongqing seemed to see his hesitation, but said to him firmly: "Go, we believe in you, you can do better than any of us."
