Ren Yu followed Gong Yingxian and went in. There were a row of bookshelves and several large tables in the huge room. There were many things like evidence on the table, and the wall was full of photos, newspaper clippings, materials and so on.

On one of the small tables with exquisite workmanship and white flannelette, there was only a lonely photo frame.

Gong Yingxian went to the table, took off his gloves, picked up the picture frame, and gently stroked the person in the picture with his slender fingertips.

Ren Yu came to him and handed the photo frame to Ren Yu.

Ren Yu solemnly took it over. What he took down was not a small photo frame, but the trust that a person had never paid to strangers in 18 years.

The photo shows a group photo of a family of four. It is the best looking family Ren has ever seen. His father is handsome and elegant, his mother is beautiful, and a pair of children are as beautiful as elves.

Ren Yu looked at the childish and lovely little boy in the photo. His eyes were as clear as spring water, and his smile was as bright as flowers. He was held in his mother's arms and happily opened his hands, as if he dared to embrace the world. There was no fear, indifference and sadness on his face.

But soon after, the child was robbed of everything and fell from the cloud into an abyss that could never be extricated.

Ren Yi couldn't help looking up at Gong Yingxian. Looking at Gong Yingxian when he grew up, he felt an unspeakable pain in his heart.

Gong Yingxian looked away and said, "don't look at me like this."

Ren Yu held the photo frame and didn't know what to say.

"My sister and sister Yan are best friends and grew up together." Gong Yingxian chuckled, "when I was a child, I always liked to follow behind their hips, but they said, I can't play with me until I grow up."

Ren Yu looks at the girl in the photo, which is somewhat like Gong feilan. As Qiu Yan said, she is a girl like an angel.

"I grew up, but she never grew up."

Ren Yu's nose was sour. He carefully put the photo frame back to its original position and said in his heart that you should bless Gong Yingxian in heaven and find the murderer to avenge you.

Gong Yingxian sat at the table and pointed to the chair opposite him: "sit down."

Ren Yu sat down and looked around. Only the wall covered with various clues shocked him. He was also familiar with many photos - the scene after the fire.

Gong Yingxian took a look along Ren Yu's eyes. He never repeated all this to anyone. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak. He sorted out his thoughts and slowly said, "my father was the chairman of Baosheng Group, Tianhe Baosheng chemical plant, one of the chemical plants under Baosheng Group. You should know the cause of the accident."

Ren Yi nodded: "it is said that vinyl acetate exploded."

"Yes, the explosion of vinyl acetate ignited the surrounding chemicals and triggered a chain explosion. This is not controversial, but the real cause and responsible person of the accident..."

Gong Yingxian bit his teeth. "It's not what the media said."

"You mean that the case investigation was wrong."

"Someone manipulated the case investigation, made false evidence and misled the results. When they found that things might be exposed, they killed my father, forged it into fear of crime and committed suicide, and put all the blame on my father."

Ren Yu frowned deeply: "do you know who did it?"

"I doubt it, but I'm not sure." Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice, "this case is very complex, involving many people inside and outside the group. It was difficult to find the evidence that year. Sister Yan and I had a hard time."

Ren Yu thought about it and asked several questions: "was the explosion in the chemical plant accidental or man-made? Who investigated the case in those years, and were the same group of people investigating the fire case in your house? What useful evidence is still retained?"

"The investigation of the chemical plant explosion said it was an accident, but since it was the same person who investigated my family's case, I have doubts in my heart. Eighteen years ago, electronic communication was underdeveloped, the network had just started, and because the case had been finalized and closed, there was little useful evidence. I'll show you later."

"Isn't the investigator the biggest suspect?"

Gong Yingxian burst out hatred in his eyes. "The captain of the first criminal investigation team of Hanning branch died within two years after the case was closed. He was intoxicated with alcohol."

"He may have been killed?"

"Maybe, he was the biggest entry point." Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice, "someone wants to bury everything in the ashes and never see the sun. I have to turn it out and let it be known to the world."

"What about the bird's mask?"

Gong Yingxian lowered his eyes: "That night, a man with a bird mask appeared. I saw him, but I thought it was a ghost. For many years later, I was not sure whether what I saw was an illusion. Later, under the hypnosis of a psychologist, I did a deep memory retrospective to determine that there was such a person. However, the case had been closed for many years at that time, and the death of a six-year-old child Confessions are useless. "

"Memory back..." Ren Yu took a breath of cold air.

To make a memory recall, you must return to the memory scene under the leadership of a hypnotist, and it is usually impossible to succeed at one time. In other words, Gong Yingxian should go back to his house again and again on the night of the fire, and stay in the most terrible, painful and cruel recall again and again, just to find useful clues.

There was no superfluous expression on Gong Yingxian's face, but his eyes were empty.

Ren Yi was distressed. He couldn't imagine how Gong Yingxian survived in a foreign country these years. He couldn't help reaching out, touching Gong Yingxian's head, trembling and saying, "you've suffered."

Gong Yingxian's body trembled slightly, and his expression was a little stiff. He seemed to bear something. He whispered, "as long as I can catch the murderer, I can pay any price."

"We will catch the murderer." Ren Ying said firmly, "it's no coincidence that God arranged an insider to fall into your hands before the prosecution period of the case is about to end. It proves that it's time to see the sun through the clouds."

Gong Yingxian adjusted his mood: "the bird's mask didn't appear in the case investigation from beginning to end. Because I couldn't describe it clearly at that time and the police didn't believe in ghosts, only the murderer knew this mask. How did the hooded man know, I will find out."

"He is the best starting point now. You become a policeman just for this day."

Gong Yingxian nodded: "only when I am a policeman can I use the powerful database of the public security system. Sister Yan thinks the same as me. Thanks to her these years, when I was young, she has done her best to investigate and collect evidence, leaving a lot of evidence that could have disappeared. Without her, I may not be able to survive today."

Ren Yu can now fully understand why Gong Yingxian is so gentle and close to Qiu Yancai. They bear the same pain and secret and support them all the way. Such a deep friendship has not lost to his close relatives. Qiu Yan is a person he can never compare with.

Ren Yu's heart is slightly sour, but he is glad that at least Gong Yingxian is not fighting alone. "Captain Qiu is really not an ordinary woman. Fortunately, she can help you.

Gong Yingxian stood up and went to the clue wall: "come and see."

Ren Yi also walked over and looked closely at the photos of the scene after the fire and the old yellow paper documents. He was even more shocked.

Even if the evidence of the fire is extracted immediately, it has been greatly damaged. Moreover, the scene has long been gone, and it has been so long that it is not easy to collect these.

"I used to look for fire identification experts to see these evidences, but because the pixels of the photos are too low and I dare not disclose the details of the case to strangers, I didn't see anything valuable. Recently, I heard that there is a new AI technology that can accurately restore old photos. I have sent all the photos to restore."

"Is this all the physical evidence you can collect?"

"There are still some evidence left in the evidence room of the Public Security Bureau. After the case is closed, they will keep it for 20 years. If they have no objection for 20 years, they will be destroyed, leaving only electronic files."

"Did you get it?"

Gong Yingxian shook his head: "I've seen it and taken photos, but I can't take it out. I didn't apply for the reason to provide material evidence. Instead, I might scare the snake. Unless I have enough evidence to question the investigation results of the closed cases, this is a major event, which means that I have to be accountable to all the investigators in that year. I can't move without full confidence."

"When those restored photos come back, we'll make a fire adjustment again."

At this time, there was a knock outside the door, and Qiu Yan arrived.

Ren Yu and she greet each other. She is still generous, confident and capable. Today, she also happened to wear a dark gray suit, which is very similar to Gong Yingxian's dress color and style. When they stand together, they are not only familiar at first sight, but also match very well from appearance to temperament. They are simply a pair of beautiful people.

Ren Yu felt that there was no room for him to stop around them. He laughed at himself.

"Ying Xian, have you told captain Ren all the cases?"

Gong Yingxian gave a "um".

"It's great that Captain Ren can help." Qiu Yan said with a smile, "having a professional fire investigation expert here will certainly bring a new turn to the case."

Ren Yu said, "you're welcome. Now the new turn is the suspect. I think this is God's arrangement."

Qiu Yan nodded: "yes, it's been 18 years. Why did you give us new clues at the last pass? This sense of destiny is really mysterious." She smiled. "Maybe captain Ren is our lucky star."

Ren Ying also smiled: "I also hope that we can find the murderer as soon as possible."

"When I came from the branch, Cai Qiang was trying Chen Pei. He was the suspect. He was very difficult to deal with. He seemed not afraid of anything. He either didn't speak or fooled the police. He avoided the important and ignored our problems. He couldn't deny that he had been to Wanyuan community that day in front of the evidence, but he didn't admit arson."

"Where's his accomplice?"

"His two accomplices were also arrested. They mingled together. Sometimes they showed people the field and sometimes collected debts, but they didn't seem to know about the arson. We're still trying it further."

"What about the cybercrime section? Chen Pei's contact with the person who burned the car must be online."

"Yes, it's under investigation. I don't believe he didn't leave a trace."

"Did the suspect in the car burning case make any progress? Peng Fei?"

Qiu Yan said: "Peng Fei doesn't look like a car burning man, but we think he knows who he is. Anyway, he must know something. I have applied for his detention. His psychological defense will soon collapse and is not far from opening his mouth."

Gong Yingxian also said, "now block them from two directions. In the end, they will be blocked into the same dead end. When they are desperate, they will bite each other and not far from the truth."

The three sat down and added some details of the case to Ren. Ren said he would go to the corps to check the fire-fighting files of the chemical factory explosion and the palace arson case. Maybe there would be new discoveries. Even if we found the firefighters who participated in the fire-fighting that year and asked them one by one, we couldn't get nothing.

At the same time, he also wants to go back and have a good chat with his father. Maybe his father still remembers some, which will be more valuable than the memory of a six-year-old child.

The three talked a lot, and finally the topic fell on the blazing angel.

"Xiao Tan said that this website has a predecessor. It was wiped out by the U.S. judicial department a few years ago. It has made a comeback in the past two years. Behind the website is a gang. There are contacts and active users in China. The number may be more than we thought. These are some news Xiao Tan found on the Internet."

Gong Yingxian sneered: "since we caught Zhou Chuan and Chen Pei, this website has exposed a lot of things. We will find more people."

"I don't doubt that, but I'm worried." Qiu Yan frowned, "your information has been exposed. With the deepening of the case, I am worried about your safety. If you notice anything, you must tell me and I will send police to protect you."

"OK."

The three chatted again. Sheng Bo had prepared lunch and asked them to have dinner.

Qiu Yan stretched himself: "come quickly." Then he left with Sheng Bo talking and laughing.

"Right away." Gong Yingxian said while sorting out the materials he took out.

Ren Xuan looked at Qiu Yan's slim back and Gong Yingxian. His heart was still sour. Although he didn't even have a jealous position, he couldn't help saying, "Captain Qiu seems to be the only person who calls your name."

Gong Yingxian replied carelessly, "well, right."

"We are both friends. I call you Dr. Gong and you call me captain. Isn't it too good?"

Gong Yingxian looked back at him: "do you want to call my name? Then call it."

Ren Xuan turned his eyes. Although he wanted to call, he had a strange idea that he didn't want to call Qiu Yan. He said very far fetched, "your name is a little awkward."

"Why is my name so awkward? My grandfather took it. It's very meaningful."

"Just... The pronunciation is not very smooth. What does the name mean?"

Gong Yingxian looked absently ahead, I fell into a memory: "there are three meanings, 'dancers go to the festival to throw their hands, singers send their voices in response to the strings', the strings here are piano strings,' flying arrows fall disorderly, arrows are like hedgehog hair, fierce Qi is more and more fierce, and shooting people fall in response to the strings', the strings here are bow strings, and my grandfather wants me to cultivate both civil and military skills. In addition, he said that life is lonely, and he wants me to find a bosom friend of the chord of life."

"Wow, so educated." Ren Yi exclaimed that only such a good name can deserve such a perfect person. At the same time, he remembered how his name came from, and suddenly he was a little funny.

"Do you want to call my name?" Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yu without blinking.

"Hmm..." Ren Yu grinned. "It's nothing new to call you Xiaogong. Your colleagues call you Xiaogong. We are friends. I should have a special name."

Gong Yingxian said strangely, "what do you want to call?"

Ren Yu slapped: "I'll call you 'old palace'."

Gong Yingxian gave him a white look: "you're not poor all day, aren't you?"

Ren Yi laughed: "husband, I think it's good." He deliberately exaggerated his smile to hide the palpitations when he called out those two words.

Gong Yingxian was inexplicably at a loss: "OK, OK, go to dinner."

Ren Yu stopped laughing and looked at Gong Yingxian with eyes: "OK, Ying, Xian."

Gong Yingxian also smiled faintly: "what do you want me to call you?"

"Don't call it Xiao Ren, don't call it Lao Ren, the rest is up to you." Ren Yu said with a laugh, "it's better to call your name directly."

"All right." Gong Yingxian also learned from Ren Yu's words and said solemnly, "Ren, Yu."

They looked at each other and smiled.

After dinner, Qiu Yan and Gong Yingxian went back to the branch and planned to work overtime to examine the suspect. Ren Yu still had half a day off. He decided to go home to find his father and do what Qi Xiao asked him for help. If he had time, he would go to the corps to check the information.

On the way, Ren Yi called the captain of Beigang squadron and asked him to help advance the fire audit time. The other party readily agreed. After Ren Yi told Qi Xiao the news, Qi Xiao sent a provocative and tempting photo with the text: Thank you, brother!

Ren Yu smiled and replied impolitely.

When he got home, Ren Yu listened to the loud singing inside before he entered the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Ren Xiangrong singing along with the Anti Japanese war film on TV. It should not be called singing, but roaring hard. There was no tone, so it sounded particularly harsh.

"Lao Ren, Lao Ren, stop shouting." Ren Yu covered his ears and cried.

The nanny came out of the kitchen with toilet paper in her ears and shook her head at him reluctantly. As soon as he saw each other's expression, he knew that his father was ill now.

Ren Xiangrong seemed to be deliberately against them. He roared at the top of his voice. When he saw Ren roaring more vigorously, he slapped his wheelchair with his hands and feet.

The nanny asked Ren Yu with her mouth: "do you eat at home?"

Ren Yu looked at his father and felt tired. He hesitated to go and stay. The nanny waved to him and let him into the kitchen.

The two entered the kitchen and closed the door. The nanny said with a bitter smile, "I've been howling for a long time. I should be tired soon."

Ren Yi sighed, "it's hard for you."

"It's all right. Then, Captain Ren, I told you to find a new nanny last time. Did you find it?"

Ren Yi had forgotten about it: "I'll start looking for it right away."

"Well, my husband and I will go back to our hometown in the new year. It's only two months. Hurry up."

Ren Yi nodded and stayed.

After a while, Ren Xiangrong really stopped shouting, but he was not honest when eating. One of the major symptoms of this disease is that he endlessly tossed and tortured people around him when he was ill. It's not easy to find this reliable nanny now. Ren Yu's head was big when he thought of changing people.

After dinner, Ren Xiangrong was tired and went to bed early. Seeing that he couldn't ask anything today, Ren Yu simply went back to the squadron and went straight to Qu Yangbo.

Qu Yangbo was surprised to see him: "isn't there still half a day off?"

Ren Yi rubbed his sour eyebrows: "my father is not very good today. I came out when he fell asleep." Sometimes it's just suffocating to stay in that house.

Qu Yangbo asked with concern, "do you want to go to the hospital?"

Ren Yu shook his head: "it's no use. He doesn't want to go to the hospital. Just stay at home as he wants."

Qu Yangbo looked at Ren Yu's tired eyebrows and eyes, leaving only a sigh.

"By the way, I want to ask you for help."

"What?"

"If it is a fire-fighting file many years ago, will it generally be collected by the headquarters or left in the squadron? Or will it be kept on file as it is now?"

"According to the situation, how many years ago?"

Ren Yu hesitated: "eighteen years ago."

"So long." Qu Yangbo said in surprise, "what are you doing?"

"I'll explain later. You answer me first."

"Eighteen years ago, there was no electronic file at that time, and filing was not as simple as ours. Moreover, for such a long time, the organizational structure has changed greatly. If the squadron has not been split or merged, it should still be in the squadron. It's hard to say. What do you want to check?"

"Do me a favor." Ren Yu patted Qu Yangbo, "I want to find the fire-fighting archives of the explosion of Baosheng chemical plant 18 years ago."

Qu Yangbo didn't understand: "what are you going to do?"

Ren Weiwei: "in fact... I promised others that I can't say, brother, do me a favor. It's very important."

Qu Yangbo pushed his glasses: "it has something to do with Gong Yingxian."

Ren Ying smiled and said, "um".

"Well, let me ask for you."

"Also, half a year later, there was a fire at the palace."

Qu Yangbo narrowed his eyes: "what's the situation?"

Ren Yu begged: "please, don't ask, don't tell others, just help me, OK."

Qu Yangbo glanced at him: "you owe me a favor."

"I owe you a favor."
