"Principal Hong, hello! I'm sorry, I just finished my work." As soon as he entered the office, Chu Yue apologized first.

"It's okay, Officer Chu, please sit down!" Hong Xia poured water for Chu Yue: "What do you want from me?"

"After the new year, Team Gu and I went to see Wei Xiao." Chu Yue said.

"Sister....sister?" Hong Xia stared blankly at Chu Yue, her voice trembling: "You went to see my sister? Is she okay?"

"Well, it looks pretty good, very peaceful, and in good health." Chu Yue said, seeing Hong Xia quietly turning her face away to wipe away her tears, he knew the relationship between Hong Xia and her from Wei Xiao's narration , sighed softly: "We asked the supervisor, she is a nice person, her job is easy, and she also teaches other people, so don't worry too much."

"Thank you, Officer Chu!" Hong Xia said sincerely, "My sister, she is a good person, but why is a good person in such a situation?"

"Yes, this is also the reason why we are re-understanding the case back then. I hope there will be some changes. Therefore, Director Hong, I want to ask you to understand something."

"Okay, though..." Hong Xia shook her head: "Although I don't have any hope, I thank you for your determination. What do you want to know? I will tell you everything I know."

Hong Xia carefully recalled the car accident. She clearly remembered that the car drove past them, and the people in the car turned around after seeing them: "Although I can't be 100% sure, but this is how I feel, yes It came towards us. It just happened so suddenly that I didn’t see the person clearly. I’ve thought about the steamed buns for a long time, but I really don’t remember who sent them. You know, many people send us things, right? show up,"

"What about the fire?" Chu Yue asked.

"Fire, I have always wondered why the wires were short-circuited, because I personally brought the electricians to make the wires in the kitchen, and Sister Wei Xiao repeatedly emphasized the need to be safe. Besides, it was impossible to put wet wood under the wires. Stacked in the corner, separated by metal buckets."

It's just that there is no way to verify this, Chu Yue thought.

"About Xiaosi, can you remember anything else? By the way, I heard that you have a photo of him? Didn't you give the photo to the police?"

"Hey! I went out this time just for this photo." Hong Xia retrieved the saved photo from her mobile phone and handed it to Chu Yue.

In the photo, Wei Xiao smiled kindly, warm and pure.Chu Yue saw that Wei Xiao was more vicissitudes and indifferent than in the photo, but with the same smile, it suddenly seemed like two people.The child next to him has delicate features and expressionless face, but the red balloon in his hand adds a lot of color.

"At that time, I went to the town and took the film to the photo studio to be developed. Not long after I came out, I encountered a car accident. In addition to the follow-up incidents, I forgot about the film. Before the Chinese New Year, I received a letter. This photo. Except for Lao Zhang who opened the photo studio at that time, only Xiao Si knew about it. I went to the town, the photo shop had long since closed, and Lao Zhang had passed away. After a few days of searching, I found it Lao Zhang's son, he didn't know what happened, but Lao Zhang was in poor health. After the photo studio closed, Lao Zhang couldn't bear to throw away the old things in the photo shop. He also said that some old customers didn't take photos, and later their home was stolen. , Lao Zhang's son didn't understand, nothing valuable was lost, but a lot of old photos were missing. I guess this one is among them."

"Did you report it? Did you find out who stole it?" Chu Yue asked.

"No." Hong Xia shook her head: "Old Zhang's son said that he didn't lose anything of value, so he didn't report to the police, but after the old photos were lost, Lao Zhang became ill and passed away not long after."

Chu Yue knew that this kind of old craftsman valued commitment the most, unlike today's young people who talk like farting, commitment and responsibility are more like a joke.

"Later, I went to check the address of the letter. According to the postmark, it was in the suburb of Huai'an. I stayed there for a long time, walking around the streets, but found nothing. In fact," Hong Xia smiled wryly: "Even if it is true Xiaosi, now that she has grown up, I probably won't know him when we meet."

Chu Yue asked for Hong Xia's permission, and sent the photo to his mobile phone. He looked at the boy at this age, but his eyes were cold. Where is he?What have you been through?

"About Xiao Si, is there any sign? Like a birthmark?" Chu Yue asked.

"Birthmark?" Hong Xia raised her head, took a deep breath, and tried her best to recall: "That's right! There is a strange thing, there is a tattoo on Xiao Si's lower back."

"Tattoo?"

"Yes, at the time I wondered how such a young child had tattoos."

"What tattoo?"

"It's weird, with a string of numbers tattooed!"

"Number?" Chu Yue suddenly remembered the meeting in the morning, the "White Requiem Case" Xiang Fei also had a string of numbers on his waist: "What number?"

"It seems to be an English letter at the beginning, F, followed by... By the way, it is 10-09, F-10-09, because this is very strange, I remember it very clearly, and I asked the little one Come and go, he didn't say anything."

"F-10-09? C-03-23" Chu Yue muttered silently. It is the same, the same combination and format, but the numbers are different. What does this mean?What's the connection?Who sent the photo to Hong Xia?

Saying goodbye to Hong Xia, Chu Yue quickly got into the car and returned to the team, and must tell Gu Guoqiang about this as soon as possible.It's only next time to eat with Ling Dang'er.

Back in the team, Chu Yue arrived at Gu Guoqiang's office in two steps, and pushed open the door of the office.

The two people in the room looked at him in surprise. Su Mutian was talking to Gu Guoqiang, and seemed surprised that Chu Yue came in without knocking.

"Come back so early? Didn't eat? Oh, this is Chu Yue." Gu Guoqiang hurriedly called Chu Yue away in the morning, before he had time to introduce him.

"Hello! Su Mutian." Su Mutian stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Chu Yue..." Chu Yue shook hands and hesitated: "Are you talking about something? Then I..."

"It's okay, we're done talking." Su Mutian smiled.Chu Yue stared blankly at the smile again.Su Mutian tilted his head, as if he had some doubts: "Officer Chu..."

"Cough cough!" Gu Guoqiang coughed twice and frowned, "Chu Yue, sit over there. Wait a while."

"Oh. Good." Sitting on the sofa, Chu Yue was still thinking, who do you look like?

"This is the basic situation of this case." Gu Guoqiang continued to tell Su Mutian: "The security unit of the community is Zongheng Security, and now it is also cooperating with us to find the vehicles and pedestrians that entered and exited that day..."

Vertical and horizontal security, right!Chu Yue suddenly remembered, this person's smile and demeanor are very similar to Xue Nan!It was only the completely different painting styles of the two that confused him. Xue Nan looked pale and weak, but this one was healthy and full of vitality!If it weren't for that similar slightly charming smile, the two wouldn't be linked together!No wonder he looks so familiar.

Until Su Mutian went out, Chu Yue was still thinking, and asked Xue Nan another day if he had such a brother or something.

"Do you want to transfer you to be his assistant?" Gu Guoqiang said coldly.

"Huh? No need, what am I doing as his assistant!" Chu Yue said strangely: "The situation today is like this..."

"Forget it, let's go eat first, are you hungry?" Seeing Chu Yue's innocent face, Gu Guoqiang suddenly felt a little funny at his inexplicable emotion, what's wrong?

"Well, okay!" Chu Yue stood up, not feeling the small wave in Gu Guoqiang's heart at all: "The hospital's matter, the situation I learned today, is simple, this flight is a perfect person, serious work, He has excellent medical skills, strong professional ability, gets along very well with his colleagues, and is considerate to patients, without fighting or grabbing...Anyway, everyone is full of praise for him, but there is one thing..."

"Captain Gu, Officer Chu, what would you like to eat today?" The small owner of the home-cooked restaurant at the door greeted them graciously, saying that the private room is a small room at the back of the shop. Thinking that Gu Dui and the others will have some conversations that cannot be heard by outsiders, this small boss with a detective complex specially set up such a small room for the people in the bureau who came to eat, and once made everyone dumbfounded , and did not brush off his kindness.

After ordering, Gu Guoqiang went to the shop next door to buy a bottle of yogurt and handed it to Chu Yue. Seeing Chu Yue hugging the yogurt and snorting, he felt better.

"A little bit of what?" Continue the topic just now.

"It's just that Xiang Fei never participated in the activities of the hospital or his colleagues, and no one got close to him. Everyone knew nothing about his private life. The only person who had more contact with him and was considered close was his assistant You Hai, but You Hai Didn't say anything, I'll run again tomorrow....wow, what day, and fish?"

When Chu Yue saw the steamed fish being served, he immediately laughed, and Gu Guoqiang picked up a piece for him: "Prick the fish carefully, and eat slowly."

"There is one more strange thing..." Chu Yue said with a fish in his mouth.

"Don't worry, talk slowly. Don't get stuck." Gu Guoqiang sighed. This kid seems to be worried about eating, so why let him go out to do tasks?

"Hongxia said that the missing Xiaosi also has a string of numbers tattooed on his back waist, and the number is..." Chu Yue took out a small notebook from his pocket: "F-10-09, and the one on Xiang Fei's body." The same format and combination, what do you mean?"

"Huh?" Gu Guoqiang put down his chopsticks and took the notebook: "What's going on?"

"And this, Xiaosi's photo." Chu Yue took out his mobile phone and called up the photo to Gu Guoqiang, and then told what Hong Xia said.

Throwing the question to Gu Guoqiang, Chu Yue, who was full of food and drink, stretched, and suddenly felt that the ups and downs of the day in the hospital calmed down, and he was a little sleepy. Seeing him like a piggy who gets sleepy when he is full, Gu Guoqiang Can't help but soften the tone:

"Let's go, go to the lounge and lie down for a while if you're sleepy."

"By the way, that Su Mutian." Chu Yue walked lazily, "How about that man? I think he looks very similar to Xue Nan, didn't you notice?"

"Xue Nan?" Gu Guoqiang thought for a while, and it seemed that they had nothing in common except that they were both more handsome: "How do they look like each other?"

"It's the feeling of laughing, it's very attractive! Well, that's the feeling." Chu Yue said.

Gu Guoqiang suddenly felt a little indigestible: "How do you cook the food! This boss!"

"Ah?" Chu Yue was puzzled.
