"Well... a missing person case from more than a decade ago. This case happened in the UK and is called "The Disappearance of Madeleine Maine."

Chen Rui spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the quiet space.

He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of thought and concentration, as if immersed in the memory and analysis of this case.

"I don't know if you have heard of it. Forget it. From my understanding of you, you should not be interested in these things..."

Chen Rui pushed his glasses, and the lenses reflected a faint light under the light. He looked away from the information in his hand and looked at the woman sitting quietly beside him.

"Indeed, my hobbies are only painting..."

"But... I have some interests today and want to hear you talk about it..." The corners of the woman's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Haha... It's really rare..."

Chen Rui raised his head again and looked at this cold and beautiful face.

The woman had neat short hair, which was neat and layered, flashing a mysterious light under the white light. Her eyes were deep and cold, like a cold pond. She was tall and strong, and dressed in black.

"Well, since you are interested, I will talk to you briefly."

"It happened 20 years ago. Madeleine McEnany, a 3-year-old British girl, mysteriously disappeared from a resort hotel room while traveling in Nashville with her family.

At that time, the British police spent a lot of time to find her, and many celebrities also launched appeals and rewards. But the case has not been completely solved so far, and Madeleine has not been found."

"After testing at the scene, more than 20 DNA traces were left. In other words, more than 20 people went in and out of the room repeatedly, and the door and windows were open. In addition, traces of gunpowder were detected in the room, and blood reactions were detected on the sofa..."

"It sounds like just an ordinary missing case. There are millions of missing people every year in the world. This is just one of them. Why do you pay attention to it?"

The woman smiled faintly, walked to the window, and pushed the wooden window open.

"No, no, no, this is not an ordinary missing case, absolutely not!"

Chen Rui pushed his glasses and continued: "There are many suspicious points in this matter."

"First, why would a gun be used to kidnap a 3-year-old girl?"

"Second, why were there traces of DNA from more than 20 people in the room at the scene? Could it be that so many people appeared in the room at that time?"

"Third, why was there blood at the scene? You can just cover a girl's mouth and take her away."

"And the most important point is that after the incident, so many people tried to find her but did not find any clues. Later, Madeline Maine's parents gave up the search on their own initiative. Isn't this suspicious?"

"Even if it is suspicious, what does it have to do with you? Why are you so interested in a missing case that happened 20 years ago? Missing cases happen every year in China. Why are you not interested in these incidents?"

The woman walked to Chen Rui and sat down, took out a pencil from the pen holder on the table, and started her familiar painting session.

"Don't you think this case is very similar to what happened in the Lin family back then?"

"It's also a missing case that happened in the room, with a large number of people, and traces of gunpowder and blood were left at the scene."

"Oh? Lin family?"

The woman's sketching speeded up.

"But wasn't that done by your father himself? Do you want to say that your father has done other kidnappings? This is not something worth showing off."

"You're wrong. My father was only involved in one force back then. To be precise, there were three forces at that time. One was the team led by my father, one was the Lin family, and the other was unknown to me. But at that time, they were all fighting for the child of the Lin family, and a large-scale gunfight broke out. Many people died at that time. Because of this incident, my father also died. He was shot in the head by the organization!"

Speaking of this, Chen Rui's eyes darkened.

"Such a big vicious incident happened back then? Why haven't I heard about it at all?"

The woman's sketching movements were very familiar, and she had already drawn the outline of a boy on the paper.

"This is the Lin family's method. Lin Tianyi, who was the head of the Lin family at the time, used the power of the Lin family to cover up the matter immediately. Under the operation of the Lin family, this matter has become a secret forever. If it weren't for the notebook left by my father, I'm afraid I wouldn't know it.""I understand. You mean, that incident happened to compete for the child of the Lin family? And you suspect that the "Disappearance of Madeleine Maine" you are watching now is the same as what happened to the Lin family back then? The difference is that Madeleine Maine was taken away by the people of that organization?"

"You are very smart, and the name "Yellow Bird" suits you very well."

Chen Rui closed the tablet and stood up.

"Really? But in my opinion, this is just your fantasy. There is no clear connection between the two incidents. You just forcibly summarized some common points."

"Another point, why did that organization go through so much trouble to select the child of the Lin family? What are his special characteristics!"

The woman finished the sketch, then put the pencil into the pen holder and took the painting in her hand to observe it carefully.

"I don't know, and I don't need to know. The key is that we know that the organization wants to get the child of the Lin family."

"But I heard that the child of the Lin family seems to have a terminal illness."

"That's right, so this requires you to take action. I hope you can bring me some accurate information about him. After all, based on my understanding of Lin Tiancheng, this may be another trap he disguised."

"Is it that simple? This is much easier than what you asked me to do before."

Chen Rui's face was solemn: "This matter is very important. It is related to whether our next plan can be implemented smoothly."

The woman called 'Yellow Bird' smoothed her short hair, her eyes still looking at her painting.

"How about my painting?"

'Yellow Bird' handed the sketch to Chen Rui.

In the painting, a boy who looks like a teenager, facing the sun, his hair gently lifted in the breeze, holding a thousand paper cranes in his hand.

"I'm curious, why do you always like to draw the same painting? You should have drawn this painting many times, right?"

"It's just a personal habit. I can't draw anything else, I can only draw this."

'Yellow Bird' put the painting away, opened the wooden door, and stepped out with one foot.

"I'll do it now, but don't forget to pay me, 'Spider'."

"Bang"

The wooden door was closed tightly.

Chen Rui showed an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

He walked to the window and looked at the bamboo forest swaying in the wind outside the window.

"I hope this cicada can live longer."
