Forensic pursuit

Outside the door of the 301 office, Xiao Liang sat on the bench in the corridor and waited, and the voices of Nie Fanxin and Chen Anyou were making notes and asking questions.

Eight photos record the growth process of a boy named "Zhang Yuan", who is actually Cao Hai, from 1 to 10 years old.In the first photo, a 1-year-old boy was standing at the door of the dormitory of the orphanage, wearing the same clothes as when he was lost; in the second photo, the special education teacher of the orphanage hugged him for a photo when he was three years old; in the third photo, he was a six-year-old participating in Chorus of nursery rhymes, because of my short stature, standing in the middle of the first row...

It is indeed Cao Hai, absolutely true.

"Does Director Zhou know this child?" Nie Fanxin showed him a 9-year-old photo of Cao Hai.

"If you ask other people, I really don't know them. Only Zhang Yuan, most of the teachers are impressed by him."

Nie Fanxin signaled him to continue.

"Don't look at Zhang Yuan's short stature, but he is very strong. It seems that in the winter of 43, Chen Fan, who was transferred from Changyun County Children's Welfare Institute, was 13 years old and over 160cm tall, but he was pushed down by Zhang Yuan, who was under 10 years old. Can't get up from the ground."

Chen Anyou, who was sitting on the right side of the record, explained: "The Zhang Yuan you mentioned, originally named Cao Hai, suffers from congenital achondroplasia, commonly known as dwarfism."

Director Zhou affirmed his rhetoric: "Zhang Yuan is a mild patient, and the entrepreneur who subsidized our orphanage gave him 6000 yuan a month for growth hormone treatment."

Nie Fanxin, who browsed the form, raised doubts: "I see that other children have their own police stations or sub-bureaus. Why doesn't Cao Hai have one?" Having confirmed her identity, she directly called the deceased by his original name.

"If a well-meaning person picks up a child and calls the police, there will be a corresponding agency. Cao Hai will be directly signed and sealed by the County Civil Affairs Bureau. I really don't know why." Director Zhou also changed his words.

Wanting to give Cao Bin and the others a complete explanation, Nie Fanxin hoped to fully understand the ins and outs of Cao Hai's disappearance, so she asked in detail: "Director Zhou, is there any teacher in the orphanage who has worked for more than ten or twenty years?"

"After the reform, many teachers and staff could not adapt to the increase in work intensity and left one after another."

Nie Fanxin: "Where is the special education teacher holding Cao Hai in the photo?"

"This is Teacher Zhen, who was transferred to the career editor of Binnan Children's Welfare Institute two years ago."

"Do you have her contact information?"

"Have."

Chen Anyou next to him registered his phone number and address.

Knowing Cao Hai's trajectory before he was 10 years old, where did he go after he fell into the water?This was the next thing Nie Fanxin had to figure out.Director Zhou has worked in the orphanage for seven years, which means that he should have experienced that incident, so she asked, "Do you remember the incident of falling into the water six years ago?"

"Of course I remember, I was called back to find someone when I was on vacation."

"Tell me in detail."

"It seems to be summer, the weather is hot, and I am on vacation on weekends. After dinner, I received a notice from the old director. The seven children ran out at noon while the security guard was sleeping, and did not come back for dinner in the afternoon. The orphanage dared not report it for the time being. We went up and down 7 The teacher searched all over Leilong County, and finally found their short clothes and shorts in a grass nest on the bank of Huaxi River."

Chen Anyou was surprised: "Where are the people? Didn't get any?"

Director Zhou clenched his fist with his right hand and tapped the table lightly: "It's just strange, the professional salvage team that the Public Security Bureau called for didn't find a single corpse."

Nie Fanxin analyzed the details: "Maybe you didn't go swimming?"

"Nearby monitoring showed that they were running towards Huaxi, and they were also seen playing by the river."

"What is the follow-up investigation result of the Leilong County Public Security Bureau?" Nie Fanxin asked Chen Anyou to investigate.

Director Zhou first said: "Treat it as missing, the Civil Affairs Bureau quickly intervened, and almost all of our leadership team dismissed get out of class."

"Yes, after two years, the orphanage will apply for death." If a citizen's whereabouts have been unknown for two years, and an interested party (welfare institution or county civil affairs bureau) applies for a declaration of his disappearance, it shall be submitted to the basic people's court.Chen Anyou found out the electronic file of the Leilong County Public Security Bureau through Chu Wanning.

"Cao Hai is not dead, what about the other six children?" Nie Fanxin suddenly felt that this case was too strange, not as simple as imagined, and intuitively felt that someone from the orphanage must be involved.Of course, she didn't ask this sentence. She kept it in her heart and decided to report the situation to Chu Wanning and wait for the next step.

******

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them rested at the noodle shop across the street from the orphanage to satisfy their hunger.

Chen Anyou smashed the chopsticks in his hand: "Boss, three taels of beef noodles."

Xiaoliang: "I'm two two."

"My God, Sister Xin, don't bother to send messages to your partner, order food first."

Nie Fanxin rolled his eyes at him, raised his head, looked inside and raised his voice, "One or two noodles with fried sauce, thank you."

"Eat so little? Don't say I abused you." Today Chen Anyou declared in advance that he was treating guests.

"I have a small appetite, that's enough." After not drinking much water all afternoon, Nie Fanxin took out the sour plum juice on the outside of her backpack, inserted a straw, took a selfie while drinking and sent it to Wan Yi, "It's delicious!"

The sour plum juice was the summer drink that Wan Yi personally cooked for her last night. Because she couldn't walk back and forth for a long time recently, Nie Zhiyan helped watch the fire.

In less than ten seconds, the other party replied: "Where is this?"

"Thunder Dragon County."

"The pasta over there is famous."

"So I'll eat noodles tonight." Just as the fried noodles were on the table, she took another photo and sent it. The two of them always liked to share when they were together, so they volunteered to report their itinerary, and so did they.

Wan Yi replied to her: "Sauerkraut noodles with shredded pork, Aunt Gu will cook."

"Mom actually cooks noodles!"

"Yes."

Gu Bei will not cook easily unless he is in a good mood.

Wan Yi typed: "After the lunch break, Aunt Gu asked me when I would confess our affairs to them."

"what?"

"They waited for more than ten days, and there was no news."

"So..." Don't you all know?Why do you have to say it in person? Nie Fanxin's cheeks turned red when she heard her say that.

"Mom wants to talk to you too."

"Auntie?" Why do we have to talk separately?Nie Fan's blushing face became a little hotter.

"Well, Aunt Gu and I chatted until 4 p.m., Mom should hurry up."

"Two hours? Are you tired?" Nie Fan was worried about her body.

"Don't worry, I will listen to what Aunt Gu said."

Nie Fanxin was suddenly curious: "What did Mom say?"

"a lot of."

"What about it?"

"You'll find out later."

Nie Fanxin began to act coquettishly: "Say it, Wan Xiaoyu, tell it."

"Eat quickly, the dough is mushy."

"Changing the subject! I'm asking Old Gu." Nie Fanxin and Gu Bei get along more like friends, and they can even hurt each other.She picked out a photo of her holding hands with Wan Yi facing the sun one morning, and sent it to Gu Bei, "Your daughter is out of order, and we will compete to see who spreads more dog food."

Gu Bei: "?"

"Old Comrade Gu, Officer Xiao Nie needs you to be frank and lenient. What did you talk about with my family Wan Xiaoyu this afternoon?"

"Secret."

"mom!"

"You can say one thing."

"All ears."

"Remember when you came home from summer camp at the age of 14, and you didn't say hello to me beforehand, did you see me when you walked in?"

Nie Fanxin's memory came back instantly, and she quickly typed: "Mom! Tell Wan Xiaoyu, what are you talking about?"

In the summer vacation of the first year of high school, she and Wan Yi participated in the summer camp, and went home two days early to give Gu Bei a surprise.However, as soon as he opened the door, he heard soft humming one after another, and Wan Yi's eyes were suddenly covered.

The two children froze in place, Gu Bei who was on the sofa heard the sound of the door closing, hurriedly put on his half-undressed pajamas, and together with Nie Zhilan, gave them the third x-education class.

Yes, x education is as early as possible. They attended two classes when they were 6 and 10 years old.The age of talking about sex is gone. Children should know what sex is, how to protect themselves, and how to reject others.

"Can't say? Mom has resources, should I send them to you or to her?"

Nie Fan supported his forehead, only feeling top-heavy: "No need, let's explore by ourselves."

"You really don't need it?"

"I've got to work." Nie Fanxin exited the chat interface with Gu Bei, and clicked into Wan Yi's dialog box, "Don't listen to what my mother said."

"I think Aunt Gu's suggestion is very good."

This time it was her turn to put a question mark: "?"

"Fanxin, do you know what was passed at the second meeting on June 6?"

"What?" In the past two days, she hasn't had time to learn the spirit of the meeting.

"Same-sex marriage will be legalized and will be officially implemented on January 1 next year."

Nie Zhiyan and Wan Tong, Gu Bei and Nie Zhilan's lifelong wish finally came true in their next generation.Nie Fanxin was biting the vegetables, her eyes blushed easily.

"Fanxin?"

"I'm very happy." That's right, it's been less than a month since the two confirmed their relationship, so there's no need to promise anything.However, the legalization of same-sex marriage gave them the opportunity to have an extra layer of fetters.

Bright and aboveboard, walking in the sun, life and death are bald.

"Sister Xin, Teacher Zhen from the Welfare Institute." Leaving the office, Nie Fanxin called in time, but Teacher Zhen didn't answer. She might have finished her work at this time and called back.

"Oh, good." She sent a message, putting her phone in her backpack, "I'll work first."

Generally speaking, female witnesses are questioned, and under the premise of the presence of a female police officer, in principle, they are handled by the female police officer, so Nie Fanxin answered the phone.She explained the situation to Teacher Zhen, and the other party recalled: "Zhang Yuan was not sent to the orphanage by someone else, he should have been abandoned by his parents."

"Abandoned?" How is that possible?Cao Bin and Xu Si traveled thousands of miles to find their son at all costs.

"That's right, we found a man wearing a hat left Zhang Yuan at the gate of the orphanage."

"Didn't call the police?"

"Call the police, he was wearing thick clothes, and he couldn't see the front clearly with a hat on."

Nie Fanxin asked some more details, cut off the phone, and suddenly frowned, with a cloud of suspicion hanging over her heart.Could it be?She had to think in that direction, the man wearing the hat, congenital disease, heavy burden...

Without contacting Cao Bin, Nie Fanxin called Xu Si directly.

"You have been looking for Cao Hai for so many years, did you not go to Leilong County Children's Welfare Institute?"

"Leilong county orphanage? We visited all the orphanages in Binnan City the year Xiaohai disappeared."

"Go in person?"

"Yes, on the same day, I will go to Changyun County, and Dabin will go to Leilong County."

The author has something to say: Gu Bei (born in 1989), as a mother in the new century, naturally has a different way of getting along with her daughter.

Legitimacy is considered a good wish. This article is empty, and it is not compared with the present.

People with dwarfism (achondroplasia congenital) require daily subcutaneous injections of growth hormone.I think that after many years, there should be more methods of treatment.
