Forensic pursuit

After five days of leaving early and returning late, on Saturday, I was supposed to recharge my batteries for next week's work and take a good rest.However, at seven o'clock in the morning, Nie Fanxin was woken up by the alarm clock. She closed her eyes and reached out to press the phone, for fear of waking up Wan Yi beside her.

"It's okay, I'm already awake." There was a slight smile in his voice.

Nie Fan gave a soft "hmm" and opened his eyes, Wan Yi's delicate face came into view.Before they could speak, the arcs of the corners of their lips rose at the same time.

"Are you going to get up?" the other party asked first.

"Yes." Nie Fanxin moved her head to one side, welcoming Wan Yi's intimacy.Good morning kiss, the closeness and touch of the lips, the time is very short.Because of the same concern, they all tacitly restrained the throbbing in their hearts, and did not proceed to the next step, including that night, they just breathed and staggered, and tasted it.

Washed properly, although they walked out of the bathroom one after the other, but they held each other tightly and did not let go.It wasn't until he was sitting at the dining table that he was free to grab the chopsticks.

The minced meat buns with sprouts that Nie Zhiyan made last night are Wan Tong's favorite, and also Nie Fanxin's favorite.So he hurriedly took a few bites, and the pouty-faced man narrowed his eyes and smiled at Wan Yi.

Nie Zhiyan, who was holding the milk, asked, "Are you going home for lunch?"

Nie Fanxin swallowed the food he was chewing: "Probably not."

"Take two buns?"

"Thank you, auntie." Wan Yi's peeled eggs were placed in the bowl, and Nie Zhiyan's bowl also had them.Nie Fanxin grabbed an egg, rolled it on the table, and began to peel the egg.

"OK, one for each person."

The young man showed his love openly and aboveboard, and Nie Zhiyan saw it, and the slight smile on his face deepened.

Most people who are passionately in love wish to be together all the time, but they fail to do so.Just after [-]:[-], Nie Fanxin picked up the backpack lying on the sofa and walked towards the entrance.

Family members who have been with the front-line police for a long time will not tell them to "go home early", but generally say "be careful".

Nie Fanxin tied her shoelaces and straightened up. Wan Yi stood in front of her, raised her fair and slender hands, and lowered her eyes to help her turn out the untied collar of her shirt.

"Don't drink too much soda, I put two bottles of sour plum juice in my bag."

"I know, let's go." Nie Fanxin didn't say much, and turned to open the door.I went out with my heart full, and within a few steps, my right hand touched the collar that seemed to still be warm, and I felt longing flooding my heart again.

I really wanted to go back and hug her, but in the end, I walked into the elevator.

***

Xu Si's home was not far from the community. Nie Fanxin and Chen Anyou had greeted her beforehand and went directly there.She arrived early and waited in the car for a while, but Chen Anyou arrived late.

Before Nie Fanxin knocked on the door, he politely informed Xu Si.

"Hello."

"Hello, I'm a policeman from the Nanyun District Public Security Bureau, and I'm already outside the door..."

Before he finished speaking, the door was opened.

Nie Fanxin showed her police officer ID: "It can be verified, please rest assured."

Xu Si looked at the documents clearly and began to apologize non-stop: "I'm sorry, officer, I'm sorry, we were once bitten by snakes for ten years and were afraid of well ropes."

Behind the woman, a man in slippers approached from far to near: "I'm sorry for what? I don't know if the police ID is fake."

Chen Anyou recalled the aggrieved incident last night, couldn't hold it back for a while, pointed at that person and said fiercely: "Presenting false evidence is a violation of the law, I can sue you for defamation."

Nie Fanxin took his restless arm, pushed him aside, and then turned to Xu Si and said, "It's good to be cautious. If you really don't believe it, you can follow us to the police station." negotiate.

The man waved his hand: "No need." His full name is Cao Bin, and Xu Sitong is an employee of Dongfeng Waterworks in Nanyun District. He has worked for more than 20 years, has a high title and good benefits. Cao Hai was born 16 years ago, and the family of three is happy.However, the good times didn't last long. The 1-year-old Cao Hai was lost. The couple were distraught and began a 15-year search for a child.Cao Bin, who used to be gentle and not causing trouble, has become more and more irritable after all these years.

In contrast, Xu Si, who came from a scholarly family, maintained her usual elegance. She asked, "Officer, what do you want from us?"

"The police want to know more about Cao Hai's disappearance, or suggest that you go to the Judicial Research Institute for a paternity test." After 12 phone calls last night, only Cao Hai did not confirm.

Hearing this, Xu Si suddenly opened his eyes wide, took half a step back and leaned against the sofa to stand firm: "Have you found Xiaohai?"

Nie Fanxin put away the police officer's certificate and replied, "It's inconvenient for us to disclose the results of the appraisal before it comes out."

"Wait for me to clean up."

Xu Si turned around, her steps flustered, Cao Bin supported her, and repeatedly emphasized: "Don't worry, don't worry, you are pregnant now."

She was pregnant and only got pregnant again after 15 years, which shows that she really cares about Cao Hai.But thinking of her 41-year-old age, Nie Fanxin frowned.

In the bedroom, Cao Bin took the ID card that was placed in the drawer, and Cao Bin told Xu Si: "You rest at home, and I will go with them."

"I want to go too."

"No, the doctor told you to move less."

In the end, Cao Bin drove and followed the two towards the research institute.

Nie Fanxin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, received a message from Chu Wanning: "The deceased was born with cartilage hypoplasia, and his bones were stretched infinitely by hanging."

Congenital achondroplasia, isn't it right against Cao Hai?Cao Bin is 189cm tall, and Xu Si is not short. It stands to reason that if Cao Hai did not have a spontaneous gene mutation, more than half of the probability would be tall.

"Got it, let's go to the research institute first."

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the identification results came out, confirming that the deceased was Cao Hai, the son of Cao Bin and Xu Si.Outside the forensics department, Cao Bin was holding the report, his hands were trembling, and he muttered: "How could it be, how could it be..."

Back at the opposite police station, Nie Fanxin and Chen Anyou waited for him to calm down a little before going through the procedure to take notes.It turned out that they used vacations and weekends to travel to dozens of cities in China, and every time they set off with great expectations, they always returned disappointed.

"Officer, can you keep it a secret from my wife for now, she has an unstable pregnancy and is recuperating at home recently."

"Okay, let's not mention it, you find an opportunity to talk about it yourself." At this moment, Chen Anyou felt his pain, and agreed without saying a word.

After Cao Bin left, Chu Wanning organized a short meeting for everyone, and the next task became to find Cao Hai's life trajectory. It is impossible for a 1-year-old child to be self-reliant. Back then, he might have been trafficked or sent to a regular orphanage by well-meaning people.They favor the latter, since criminals generally avoid selling abducted children to their source.

There are 14 orphanages in the city, they are divided into 7 groups, and each group is responsible for 2 orphanages.After lunch, seven cars drove out from the sub-bureau, and Nie Fanxin and his party headed east, first to Leilong County Children's Welfare Institute.

Compared with other districts and counties, Leilong County's economic development is slow. The gate of the orphanage is still an old iron gate from 40 years ago.Nie Fanxin and Xiao Liang got out of the car first, while Chen Anyou looked for a place to park.

The two approached the security booth of the orphanage. The security guard sitting at the door didn't look up, but tapped the register on the wooden table with his fingers: "Register first."

Xiaoliang: "Hello, Nanyun District Public Security Bureau."

"Police?" He just raised his head, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Liang continued: "We want to find out if a 15-year-old boy named Cao Hai was sent to an orphanage 1 years ago."

"It should be fine. I'll call Director Zhou." After a minute, he pointed to the short building on the right side of the acacia tree, "No. 1."

Xiao Liang thanked him, and Chen Anyou followed Nie Fanxin and walked straight in.

The security guard yelled, "Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"We are together."

"Tell me, three of you?"

"Correct."

"Sign it."

Xiao Liang said while writing, "Your orphanage's security is pretty good."

The head of security sighed: "Six years ago, a few children ran out to swim, but the corpses were not found. Life and death are uncertain. Can you not be strict?"

"Didn't you find the body?"

"That's right, the Civil Affairs Bureau sent people down, and the leadership has been changed, and it has been in a hurry to rectify for three years."

Not far away, Chen Anyou roared, "Brother Liang, what are you doing?"

"Here we come." Xiao Liang put down his pen, thanked him again, and caught up with them.

Chen Anyou asked him: "What's the situation?"

"The orphan is missing."

"How many people?" Nie Fanxin became alert to the important information.

"I don't know, he didn't say."

Chen Anyou, who was walking in front, had already knocked on the door of 301 office.

"Please come in."

They walked in one after another, and Director Zhou greeted them with a smile: "Several police officers sit down casually, do you want to drink tea?"

Nie Fanxin looked around and declined politely: "No, let's inquire about something."

Chen Anyou answered the call and handed him the photo: "Do you know him?"

"Let me see." Director Zhou took the photo, frowned and asked, "How old are you?"

"1 is old."

Director Zhou froze for a moment, then shook his head: "35 years of photos, sorry, I have worked here for 7 years, so I don't know them."

Nie Fanxin looked at the folders of 47, 48, and 49 years on display in the bookcase, and asked, "Are the files from 15 years ago still there?"

"Our orphanage cleans up the archives every 20 years. The last time we cleaned up was 4 years ago. If the child has been sent for adoption, it may not be found."

Chen Anyou: "Where is it? We want to take a look."

"The second floor, I'll take you there." Director Zhou took a key and walked out of the room first.

The penultimate room in the left corridor on the second floor had the words "archive room" written on the door, and the locked door was opened by Director Zhou.

The lights were on, maybe it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and the room was dusty.

"Cough cough." Director Zhou coughed twice, covered his nose and turned on three lights one after another, and said, "They're all inside, please go ahead."

Xiaoliang was the most polite: "Thank you."

Chen Anyou has already rummaged through the famous tags according to the arrangement.

"Sister Xin, this is from 36 years, why not 35 years?"

"Look again."

"Row."

Nie Fanxin crouched next to the innermost wooden frame and looked carefully one by one.Suddenly, several photos fell to the ground, and in the middle, there happened to be a file form, and the end of the form read: "Zhang Yuan, disappeared in sunset on July 2044, 7."
