C23 Past

After returning from Liu Yuling's and Le Miaomiao's grave, I stayed in Liao Yuan for another ten days. During these ten days, I traveled to many places and Liao Mengfann would occasionally come over to eat dinner with me. Actually, I had always had a question in my heart, and that was what kind of woman was Liao Mengfann.

I clearly remember that before I fainted, I truly heard her shouting "why did you save me, why didn't you let me die" by my side.

I buried these words deep in my heart. Perhaps she really was a member of that organization, but because of my appearance, she saw hope. She used me to successfully break away from that evil organization.

I've always believed that she was a trustworthy woman. Maybe she still has a lot of stories I'll never understand!

Liao Mengfann escorted me to the airport's waiting area. Maybe it was because it was cold outside, but her face was a little red right now. We stood face to face at the airport security checkpoint, looking at each other.

I found that I was a bit reluctant to part with her, and perhaps she was reluctant to part with me. The days we had spent together came back to me, and I walked over to her, and when I came to her, I saw that her eyes were averted, perhaps hesitating.

I was a little sad. Maybe she would never be in my life again? Thinking about this, I gathered up my courage and said to her, "I... I can... Would you like a hug? "

Instead of answering, she nodded.

I took her in my arms with all my might. Time seemed to freeze, and I could hear our heartbeats, maybe a minute, maybe just a few seconds.

Liao Mengfann pushed my chest away, tidying up her messy hair, and a smile appeared on her face. She took out a tissue and wiped my forehead:" My body is weak, don't catch a cold, go back and take care of yourself, contact me on the phone.

When I walked out of the security checkpoint, I turned around and saw her smiling at me and waving her hand. I saw that this was the most beautiful smile I had ever seen since I met her.

After returning to the capital, I went straight back to my work place to report. After three months of muddle headedness, I was called to the Ministry by a phone call from my father.

Walking into the office where dad worked, I found that other than him, Elder Liang, Huang An, and Wang Xueqing's auntie were all there. Auntie Wang is an old friend of my father, she is also a famous professor of forensic medicine in the country.

Auntie Wang's husband and father were good friends when she was young, but she died because of service, so all these years, we were more or less like a family, spending all our holidays together. Sometimes, I would try to persuade my father to just marry Auntie Wang back, but he would always scold me.

When I saw that there was no one else in the room other than the people I was familiar with, I curiously asked, "Dad, what can I do for you?"

Dad waved at me, gesturing me to his desk, where I saw two mah-jong-sized signs carved with patterns I didn't recognize.

I looked at the sign and I thought I'd seen it somewhere. Thinking back carefully, a mirror gradually appeared in my mind. I started sweating profusely. 'That's right, isn't the pattern on the two wooden tablets the same as the symbol on the mirror?'

"How could this be?" I pointed to the two wooden tablets and asked, "Where did you get them?"

"Little Chuan, sit down first!" Dad pointed at the sofa. After I sat down, he looked me in the face and said, "Do you remember your mother?"

My heart suddenly hurts. I nodded. "Of course I remember …" "Why did you mention her?" Ever since I was young, my dad told me that my mom died when I was three years old, but I knew that she didn't die. She probably eloped with someone else.

"Sigh!" Dad sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Dad. I hid this from you for a whole 25 years. Actually, your mother was kidnapped back then! "

"Huh?" I suddenly stood up. I was extremely excited at that time, so I ran in front of my father, grabbed his shoulder and said, "Was he kidnapped?" Then why didn't you save her? Speak up! "

Tears moistened my clothes, and the memory fragments in my mind once again assembled. Although her mother's face was a bit blurry, but she was so beautiful.

I saw my mother holding my small hand as she took a happy walk in the amusement park, and I thought back to when I was crying, as long as I had my mother's nipples in my mouth, I would go to sleep quietly.

"Why!? Why did you only tell me now! " I excitedly pounded on my father's chest. At this moment, he shouted at me, "Lu Xiaochuan, a police officer must be able to control his emotions. "What do you think you look like?"

Pow!

Dad slapped me hard. My left cheek was burning. I gasped for breath and asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because it's top secret!" Just then, Elder Liang stood up and said, "Your father also has his own difficulties. Take a look at these first."

As I spoke, the Elder Liang passed me an old photo. After I picked up the photo, I couldn't help but shiver.

In the old photo, there was a man who was skinned alive. The way he died was the same as Liu Yuling and Le Miaomiao, with his skin and skin peeled off. At this moment, I suddenly felt fear in my heart. I held up the photo and pointed it at my father. "Could it be that mother …."

Dad nodded and said, "It happened 25 years ago in Qian County, when I was working there. The dead man in the photo was then the county magistrate, Zhao Wenge. At that time, due to the extremely terrible circumstances of the case, I was recommended as the group leader of Task Force. And your Auntie Wang's husband, she also died at that time! "

"Huh?" I looked suspiciously at Auntie Wang's face. Her eyes moistened and she replied, "Back then, I was the one who performed the autopsy on the deceased. Old Liang was among them. We've pretty much found the killer by reasoning and interviewing him. Just when Big Brother Lu and the others are about to capture the culprit, my husband and your mother suddenly went missing! "

"Missing? How is that possible? " I said, "How could a nice person disappear?"

Dad said, "Things are very strange. The two of them disappeared into thin air. Your mother went to the market to buy groceries, while your Uncle Zhang went to investigate and interview people. "

Dad continued, "We destroyed the murderer's den. But the moment we entered the room, the killer committed suicide by biting open the poison in his mouth. The only killer was dead, and the case was open. However, the day after the murderer died, his body appeared in front of the Public Security Bureau! "

"What?" I was too shocked, the whole incident was actually the same as Liu Yuling's case. I asked, "Could it be that Uncle Zhang is the same as Liu Yuling?"

"No!" Elder Liang said, "He was shot in the forehead. He felt no pain."

I let out a long breath and asked, "Right, what about my mother? Where did she go? "

At this moment, my father brought over a wooden board. He pointed at it and said, "During the autopsy, we found this small wooden board in your Uncle Zhang's anus. Maybe he found something, but he was killed in the end."

"The day after we found the wooden sign, we received a mysterious phone call. The voice on the phone was processed, so we couldn't tell if it was male or female. He said he wanted me to use the wooden sign to exchange for your mother," his father said.

"You didn't go!" I looked at my father with some anger.

However, he shook his head and said: "I'm going, but your mother did not appear. That person also did not call again until this time, when you found the peeling case with Liaoyuan City. We found the same case with the wooden sign in the building where Cui Hongliang died."

I wasn't in the mood to listen to this. "My mother never went missing?" I asked.

Dad nodded and said, "I searched for an entire year, but I didn't see him. I didn't see his corpse. She may have been killed, or she may have been a member of the organization. "

I didn't refute my father. His words made sense. Why did my mother disappear into thin air? Why did Uncle Zhang find that wooden board? I suddenly thought of a very important matter and asked, "On the day my mother disappeared, did Uncle Zhang see my mother?"

His father nodded. "According to the eyewitnesses at that time, he did meet your mother, and after meeting her, the two of them disappeared into thin air."

I limped onto the sofa and lit up a cigarette. After a long time, my mood calmed down temporarily. I looked at my father and asked, "Dad, the reason why you asked me to come was not so simple as to let me find my mother, right?"

Dad leaned against the desk and picked up the two wooden tablets. "For now, I'm sure this is an organized, disciplined, and purposeful cult gang. The criminal tactics of this gang are heinous and greatly endanger the safety of the country and its people. Therefore, I specially requested the Central Committee to set up a special investigation team.

Dad continued, "The full name of Task Force is Ministry of Public Security Criminal Special Cases Specialist Investigation Team. Besides always tracking down this evil cult, Task Force also had the right to directly take over all the super murders in the entire nation. You've been hired! "

"Huh?" I was a little shocked, with just my two hands, I was able to enter Task Force? I looked at the elites around me and said dejectedly, "I …" I'm afraid you're not up to the task? "

Pow!

Dad slammed the table and said, "For the organization's mission for you, you must overcome all difficulties. There is no such thing as' yes' or 'no' in this world, only those who dare and do not dare! I have seen the entire process of your investigation in the Liaoyuan City very clearly. When you grow up, you already have the ability to handle cases on your own.

I saluted my father and said, "I guarantee that I will complete the mission!"

At this time, Elder Liang stood up, he shook his heavy neck and said: "Let's go. I didn't think that this old bones of mine would still be able to come here to work when he's almost retired. Let's go take a look at the office first."

As we spoke, Elder Liang led Auntie Wang and Huang An out of his office. Looking at Huang An's back, I asked my father, "Brother Huang …" He won't join us, will he? "

Dad nodded and said, "He is a talented person. His marksmanship is extremely accurate and his mind is clear. It's a waste to stay by my side. "

I asked, "Then who will protect you?"

His father snorted and said, "There are plenty of people up there!" Immediately after, he grabbed my shoulders with both hands and said: "Little Chuan, do your best for your mother! Dad will be waiting for your good news! "

I forcefully nodded. "Don't worry dad, I definitely have to get mom back. If she's alive, we have to meet people. If she's dead, we have to see her corpse!"

"Alright!" Dad patted my shoulder and said, "Today is your first day at work, so I'll give you a mission. At noon, go to the airport and bring two people over for me!"

Puff!

I almost fainted. Am I the driver?
