"Jiang Xiaobin?!" Chu Yue came to his senses and remembered who this child was. When he and Gu Guoqiang were eating at the shop on Yunji Street, they had been staring at their child outside the door. It was called Jingle Bell or something: "Do you know Jiang Xiaobin?"

"I'm Brother Xiaobin's only friend, and Brother Xiaobin is also my only friend!" The child said firmly: "He won't die drunk, and he even made an appointment with me to take me to KFC, Brother Xiaobin If you can't speak, you don't count!"

"You know me?" Chu Yue asked.

"I know you are a policeman. You can avenge Brother Xiaobin!" the little boy said firmly.

Chu Yue suddenly felt blessed: "It's you who has been following me? You haven't come home?"

The child nodded and lowered his head.

"I'll go!" Chu Yue thought, no wonder he didn't find out who was following him that day, no matter how much he thought, he would never have thought that it was a child!Calculated in this way, this child has been with him for half a month, and Yunji Street is half a city from the city bureau to his place. How did this child manage to do it!Seeing the child's dirty face, clothes of unrecognizable color, wearing short sleeves, shorts, and a pair of sandals with broken threads in late autumn, how did he spend the past half month?

Carrying the little one back home, turning on the hot water and throwing him in, Chu Yue found out his long-sleeved T-shirt and put it on his arm, and went back to the bathroom. The little one fell asleep leaning against the bathtub.Chu Yue sighed, washed him, took out a big towel, took the child out, put a big T-shirt on him, and carried him to the bed. The little boy opened his eyes and took a look, stretched out his little hands and hugged him tightly. Chu Yue's hand fell asleep again.

This little guy went to great lengths to find him and let him avenge Jiang Xiaobin. When Shang Jing and the others investigated Jiang Xiaobin's social relations, they would never have thought that Jiang Xiaobin had such a close friend.Maybe no one cared about it at all. I remember the shop owner said that this is also a child who is loved by no one. If two dusty people are together, who will pay attention?

After sending Gu Guoqiang a wechat message and briefly explaining the situation, Chu Yue fell asleep next to the little one.

At dawn, Chu Yue was woken up by a phone call:

"Open the door!"

Chu Yue lazily opened the door with a look of lack of sleep, and Gu Guoqiang came in with a bunch of breakfast:

"what happened?"

Chu Yue went into the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, brushed his teeth, and told Gu Guoqiang what happened from feeling someone was following him in the city bureau to last night.

"You have been followed by a child for half a month without realizing your feelings. It seems that I have to make up for you in the police academy!"

Chu Yue was ashamed and angry, and threw a towel over: "Try to be followed by a child!"

After coming out of the bathroom, the child stood vigilantly at the door of the bedroom and looked at them. Chu Yue's big T-shirt turned into a long robe, making his small body look thinner.

After breakfast, the three of them sat upright on the sofa. The child seemed a little afraid of Gu Guoqiang, so he leaned towards Chu Yue.

"Speak?" Gu Guoqiang said.

"Uncle, I have met you. You are also a policeman. That day you went to Brother Xiaobin's house with this brother." The child said sweetly.

There was a smile on the corner of Gu Guoqiang's mouth, Chu Yue frowned and patted the child's head. He didn't know that he wanted to call Uncle Gu Guoqiang to prove that he was young and happy just to call him brother?Still annoyed at being a generation behind Gu Guoqiang.

"That day, brother Xiaobin originally agreed to take me to KFC in the afternoon, and he will never forget what he promised me."

"When?"

"It was the day Brother Xiaobin died."

"Did you see him that day?"

"I was going to stay at brother Xiaobin's house the night before, but my mother came to call me home, so I made an appointment with brother Xiaobin to pick me up for KFC after finishing work in the morning." The little boy glanced at them.

"Just eat KFC?" Gu Guoqiang asked calmly.

The little boy nodded his head vigorously, and twisted his body uneasily.

"You're lying!" Gu Guoqiang said, the little boy shivered and shrank back into the sofa: "No!"

Chu Yue smiled and hugged the child's shoulders: "Uncle, you scared the child. Don't be afraid, he has a dark face naturally."

Gu Guoqiang: "..."

The doorbell rang, and Gu Guoqiang said, "Go and open the door, Shang Jing. I called her."

When Shang Jing entered the room, she first took a look at the extravagant and simple decoration, and glared at Chu Yue: "The second generation of stinking rich! Bah!"

Handing the information in hand to Gu Guoqiang, looking at the pale and thin little boy wrapped in a big T-shirt, and looking at her defensively, Shang Jing couldn't help being motherly, pushed Chu Yue away and pulled the child to the bedroom:

"Sister brought you clothes, come and let's try to see if they fit." It was too early to buy new clothes, so Shang Jing brought her nephew's clothes over.

Gu Guoqiang handed the information to Chu Yue, which was what Shang Jing asked for from the Yunji Street Police Station early in the morning:

Name: Lin Dan, 6 years old

Lin Dan's father is an old resident of Yunji Street, a carpenter, honest and dull.Her mother, Pan Jinfeng, was a prodigal woman. When she was old, Congliang married carpenter Lao Lin and gave birth to a child. Pan Jinfeng felt that this child blocked her fortune and Feng Shui, so she named him Lin Dan.The neighbors call him "Bing Dang'er".

After all, Pan Jinfeng was not used to the life of a decent woman. Pan Jinfeng gambled, drank, led men home every now and then, and beat Lao Lin and the children when he felt uncomfortable. In the end, Lao Lin was pissed off by her.After Lao Lin died, she fell into the habit of taking drugs again, the house was sold, and the house was completely empty. Bell was beaten at her place, and she depended on the neighbors for her hunger and food. Compared with at home, he spends most of the time It was with Jiang Xiaobin, anyway, Pan Jinfeng didn't know if he was at home or not.

Ling Dang'er is clever by nature, sweet-mouthed and has good eyesight. If someone gives him food, he will always help them, take out the trash, clean the table, run errands, and survive.

He and Jiang Xiaobin are like two dust in the world, no one cares, no one cares, only each other warms each other against the coldness of fate.

At the end, Chu Yue raised his head and looked at the bell who had just changed clothes. At the end of the information was written: Pan Jinfeng died of drug overdose.The time was 5 days ago.

Chu Yue thought: Even a mother who is like trash is lost, and Ling Dang'er is an orphan.His heart was stuffed with a ball of cotton, so stuffy, so stuffy that he couldn't breathe.

"Brother Xiaobin said, he wants to send me to a new place with a good house, a big bed, new clothes, toys, and school!" Ling Ding'er pulled the hem of his clothes a little awkwardly: "He said he wouldn't let me be like He's just as alive."

"Did he say where to go?" Gu Guoqiang asked, his tone much softer.

"No." Ling Dang'er shook his head: "Brother Xiaobin said he knew someone, and that person would take me there, but he is afraid that the person is a liar, so he has to try to see if the person is telling the truth."

"Who is it? Have you seen it?"

"No, I don't know who it is." Ling Dang'er shook her head.

"You were with brother Xiaobin the night before he died, did he say anything?"

"Brother Xiaobin found me that afternoon and said something happened to him and he wanted to take me away. We were going to leave in the middle of the night, but my mother came to tell me to go home. I told Brother Xiaobin that when my mother fell asleep I'll come. But that day..."

Ling Dang'er felt that Pan Jinfeng suddenly became a mother for the first time that day. She specially bought barbecue and ham sausage for Ling Ding'er to eat, and even slept with her arms around Dang Dang'er, telling him stories. For his son, it was the only maternal love he felt in his life. He couldn't bear it, so he just fell asleep in his mother's arms.He thought that if his mother kept doing this, he wouldn't have to leave with Brother Xiaobin.

The next day, when Pan Jinfeng began to soar through the clouds again, Ling Dang'er knew that last night was probably just a dream.

"I ran out to find brother Xiaobin right away, but you are already there." With tears in his eyes, Ling Dang'er raised his head stubbornly, not letting the tears flow down.

"Captain Gu!" Zhang Jianmen broke into Gu Guoqiang's office without knocking: "There is a new discovery in Jiang Xiaobin's case. Jiang Xiaobin once delivered goods to a garlic vendor in a neighboring county. Because the vendor had something to do at home, we didn't Investigated him, according to him, once Jiang Xiaobin towed goods for him and scratched a car 10 kilometers out of the city..."

There was a light knock on the door, and Ling Dang'er showed her head timidly, holding a mobile phone in her hand: "Uncle Zhang Jian, your mobile phone."

"This kid is very clever, thank you!" Zhang Jian took the phone and patted him on the head: "Go."

"Brother Shen Bai is good!" Ling Dang'er said to Shen Bai who had just entered.

"Good boy!" Shen Bai looked at Zhang Jian proudly.

"What are you looking at, call me uncle! Uncle will give you sweets." Zhang Jian patted Shen Bai's head.

"Get out!" Shen Bai lowered his head and glared at him.

"Team Gu, the test results of the rag attachment." Shen Bai handed over the report to Gu Guoqiang: "It contains tomato, lemon, and rock sugar ingredients, um, it's tomato sauce."

"ketchup?"

"By the way, Jiang Xiaobin bought KFC the night he was murdered. It's just that the garbage at the scene was cleaned up, and nothing else was found." Zhang Jian said.

"After the autopsy, no relevant residues were found in Jiang Xiaobin's stomach," Shen Bai said.

Gu Guoqiang saw Ling Dang'er vaguely hiding outside the door: "Shen Bai, take the child there first."

From that day on, Ling Dang'er followed Chu Yue, came to work together, left together after get off work, ignored him, and he followed.After sending him back to the Yunji Street Police Station, he ran back by himself.He is also very clever, sweet-talking, and diligent. He works as soon as he sees work in the team. He helps with courier deliveries and takeaways. He pours water when someone runs out of water in the cup and cleans up garbage on the ground. Aunt Wang, the cleaner, likes it very much.He just hangs on and doesn't go anywhere.

Gu Guoqiang knew that he wanted to wait here for Jiang Xiaobin's result.But this is not a long-term solution, he must find a place to go. "Smiling Love Garden" Gu Guoqiang suddenly had this place in his mind, maybe this is a way.

"Go ahead." Gu Guoqiang said to Zhang Jian.

"The hawker's name is Zhao Dahua. Every time he comes here, he hires Jiang Xiaobin to haul his goods. According to him, more than a month ago, on September 9th, he set off at 15:04 in the middle of the night and arrived at the accident site at about 30 o'clock. It was raining lightly that day. Visibility was not very good. At a bend 6 kilometers out of the city, Jiang Xiaobin's car collided with an off-road vehicle driving on the opposite side. It was not serious, and the other side's car door was scratched. The person didn't ask him to pay, Jiang Xiaobin felt sorry and left the person with a phone call. I didn't know about it later."

"What car?" Gu Guoqiang asked.

"Heh, Team Gu! It's really Jiang Xiaobin's luck, I then retrieved Jiang Xiaobin's call records, guess who this number belongs to, Xue Nan! Xue Nan, the boss of Nan'an Pharmaceutical Group! It's a shame, he also I can't afford it!"

Xue Nan?Nan'an Pharmaceutical Group is almost as famous as the Chu Group in Huai'an City. The company has pharmaceutical factories, hospitals, educational institutions and other industries under its name.This was an accident, but it was the only person who appeared in Jiang Xiaobin's life most unexpectedly.

"Call Chu Yue, let's meet this Xue Nan!" Gu Guoqiang said.
