Yan Tingxuan sat in the police station all day, and after going through the stacks of thick police files, he couldn't find any information about the You family, and he couldn't even find the names You Jiyuan and You Mian.
The iron railing cut the afternoon sunlight through the window into strips, and landed on Yan Tingxuan's suit pants, which felt warm to the touch.
Yan Tingxuan took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, and suddenly the office door rang, and it was a young policeman who walked in with a hand of documents, and the other party sighed in surprise when he saw Yan Tingxuan.
"Lawyer Yan, you haven't left yet?"
Yan Tingxuan neatly placed the stacks of files back on the desk, put back his glasses with a smile, and said, "That's it, there are a lot of documents, and it took a little time." ”
The policeman hey and said, "It's hard work. ”
It took a little bit of time, and I sat here all day.
As soon as Yan Tingxuan finished saying hello and walked out of the police station, he received a call from the assistant of the law firm.
The other side reminded as skillfully and simply as usual: "Yan Lu, Mr. Wang of Henghua Real Estate has a case, and there is also a case of breach of international transportation contract at the port, I see that the cases you have in hand are closed, these two will help you next?" ”
Although the assistant's tone was asking, according to Yan Tingxuan's previous temperament, the answer was yes.
But just when the assistant was already preparing to stamp it, he suddenly heard Yan Tingxuan refuse neatly: "No, I have something to do these days." ”
"Huh?"
Yan Tingxuan heard the phone and said: "Yan Lu, the subject matter of these two cases is over 10 million, and the subject matter of the other international transportation contract is even more than 100 million, do you really not accept it?" ”
Yan Tingxuan's impression to everyone in the law firm is that everything has to be compromised for profit, and as long as enough money is given, his time can be divided into countless pieces.
But now this person actually took the initiative to push away the money and said that he would not accept it.
Yan Tingxuan clicked on the car navigation, and while pressing the words Anxin Welfare Institute, he refused again: "No, help me push it, or transfer it to Lin Lu and them." ”
When he hung up the phone, Yan Tingxuan's mind was churning.
He had seen the traces on You Mian's body that had been tied with hemp rope, and he had also seen the bruises on the corners of the other party's mouth.
In a kidnapping case, as long as the phone call is made, there should be a police record.
But there is no You family in the police records of Huajiang City in the past 15 years, so there is only one explanation - the You family did not report to the police in the kidnapping case at all, they chose to go private and paid the ransom.
Yan Tingxuan frowned, stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and drove quickly towards the welfare home.
What other things have he been kept in the dark until now, how much he hurt You Mian, and what kind of accomplice he has become.
He needs to know it clearly.
Yan Tingxuan's hand clenched the steering wheel with strength, and the green tendons on his neck bulged slightly.
——
The late autumn night was breezy and cool, and the bare tree trunks on the roadside were gently swaying in the moonlight.
You Mian stood in the high-rise sculpture room of the JL Building, with a wide plastic platform in front of him, and the lights were all around his head.
Tomorrow is the deadline for the second round of themed competitions, and You Mian is concentrating on pouring the gypsum water for the final round.
The boy's headset was filled with the sound of a soothing piano, and Bach's 12 equals blocked out any distractions.
You Mian's eyes were very serious, and with the last layer of gypsum water poured down, he pursed his lips slightly, and his long eyelashes trembled.
Just as he finished pouring it, got up and put the plastic bucket on the ground, and reached out to take off the headset and hang it around his neck, there was a knock on the door behind him.
No more, no less, three times, reminders in place, restraint and politeness.
You Mian turned his head to the side, and saw Pei Huaiji, who was dressed in a black straight suit, standing at the door of the sculpture room, and the man glanced at his watch as he had done every evening for more than a week, reminding: "It's time for dinner." ”
You Mian untied the gray apron in front of him, and subconsciously suspended the work in front of him.
This was unusual for him before.
When You Mian first moved into the JL sculpture studio, he couldn't get used to Pei Huaiji's fixed-point calling.
Obviously, the other party looks more like a workaholic than him, and he is still the kind of domineering president with stomach problems.
But it turns out that these conjectures are just You Mian's stereotype of the position of president, Pei Huaiji not only does not have stomach problems, but eats three meals a day on time, and dinner will be sent up by the elevator at six o'clock.
In the past, when You Mian stayed alone in the sculpture room of A University, he often carved all day, and used simple bread and milk for lunch and dinner.
A week ago, You Mian thought that sooner or later he would not be able to stand Pei Huaiji's punch-card order, but he didn't expect that now that time has passed, he actually got used to it first and followed Pei Huaiji to eat at the point.
Pei Huaiji made him develop a hunger pang.
You Mian arranged his gloves and just turned around to leave the sculpture room when he noticed Pei Huaiji's eyes looking at the plastic platform behind him.
He smiled, "I just poured gypsum water, I can't see what is carved." ”
Pei Huaiji quickly retracted his eyes when he heard this.
The two men walked down the quiet corridor to Pei Huaiji's office, and the man said, "It's not like a figure sculpture." ”
You Mian's sculpture this time has a lot of lines, and the outline is also very messy, so he can't see what he is carving for the time being.
You Mian narrowed his eyes mysteriously, "Just fit the theme." ”
123
Pei Huaiji pushed open the office door for him with soft eyes, the lights were already turned off in Vivian's office on the other side, and this resolute woman had chosen to go downstairs to eat in the cafeteria since the second night when You Mian moved in.
When You Mian first moved in, it caused quite a stir, and the entire JL company internal group was discussing him, and the topic couldn't escape the relationship between You Mian and Pei Huaiji, as well as You Mian's extraordinarily outstanding appearance.
But everyone's enthusiastic gossip will always stop when Pei Huaiji's eyes sweep over.
More than a week passed, and their curiosity gradually calmed down.
Because You Mian basically won't come out as soon as he sits in the sculpture room, let alone make others gossip.
Pei Huaiji's office is large, facing a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and looking down at the bustling commercial center of Huajiang City.
You Mian sat on the sofa by the window of the office, and in front of him was the three-layer food box of Shouxi City, which had been placed.
You Mian's eyes widened slightly in surprise, Pei Huaiji asked him to come to eat before, and the food was a simple canteen meal, why is it so luxurious tonight.
Pei Huaiji sat opposite him and said, "Tomorrow is the delivery date of the Xingchen Cup, let's relax tonight." ”
Pei Huaiji said this extremely seriously.
Because if he hadn't put You Mian's place of work in JL, he would never have thought that You Mian was a person who could stay in the sculpture room and never move.
Although Pei Huaiji deliberately interrupted it with the excuse of dinner, this desperate attitude still continued intermittently until the last day of the Star Cup's deadline.
He is the one who knows best how much effort You Mian has put into this work.
Pei Huaiji counted the days and waited until today, so at this moment, it was not only You Mian, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.
You Mian seemed to sense Pei Huaiji's emotions, so he smiled softly without shirking, and his amber eyes exuded a warm and peaceful mood under the light.
"Mr. Pei is generous." You Mian picked up the chopsticks unceremoniously.
Pei Huaiji's brows relaxed, and his cold side face lost the strong sense of oppression that he usually had.
In a quiet and cozy atmosphere, You Mian ate happily.
Pei Huaiji didn't move his chopsticks much, and when he saw You Mian finish eating, he slowly got up and walked to the desk to pick up a folder.
You Mian noticed Pei Huaiji's gaze.
His eyes fell on the document that Pei Huaiji was holding in his hand, and his heart suddenly jumped, realizing what it would contain.
Pei Huaiji walked to You Mian's side and handed over the documents in his hand.
The man said in a deep voice, "These are some of the things I've found these days, and maybe some things you didn't know before." ”
When You Mian raised his hand to take the document, he clearly heard his own heartbeat.
In the quick and long period after his death, he found himself in a book, he was adopted for a reason, and his cannon fodder life was also established.
But now, the truth of everything seems to be in front of You Mian.
Pei Huaiji lowered his eyes and said lightly: "But too much time has passed, and some things have not been found for the time being." ”
Although Pei Huaiji said this, You Mian knew that with the other party's character, as long as he handed over the document, it proved that there were definitely some past events in it that he never knew.
You Mian pinched the folder and was silent for a moment, and he found that his fingers were actually trembling a little.
Pei Huaiji sat back across from him, and the man said softly: "I went to check the police records of the kidnapping case in Huajiang City a week ago, but I didn't find your name..."
With Pei Huaiji's voice, You Mian opened the document.
Pei Huaiji said: "But I changed my thinking again and looked for a theft report and a robbery report. ”
"Guess what I saw?" Pei Huaiji asked in a low voice.
You Mian opened the document in front of his eyes, and replied while suppressing the undercurrent in his heart: "You saw the names of You Jiyuan and Bai Peilan, right?" ”
You Mian raised his eyes and crashed into Pei Huaiji's unfazed dark eyes.
Pei Huaiji said: "Yes, on June 8 12 years ago, there was a police record of a burglary case, and the person who called the police was Bai Peilan. ”
Accompanied by Pei Huaiji's voice, You Mian also saw the alarm record and the on-site mediation record that were clearly recorded in front of him.
The name of the burglar is Ba Quan, age 42, male, registered in Huajiang City...
You Mian frowned fiercely, if it was really a burglary, Bai Peilan and You Jiyuan's temperament would definitely not be able to accept mediation on the spot, they were people who took pleasure in pinching insects to death, and they would not let go of this person named Ba Quan.
Unless there is a handle in the opponent's hand.
Pei Huaiji said: "Your doubts are also my doubts. ”
"It just so happened that a few days ago, my uncle had some small cooperation with Xiuming, and he found some preparatory documents before Xiuming went public to promote the development history of the head enterprises in Huajiang City."
"Xiuming used to be a partnership, and there were three founders."
You Mian remembered that this was indeed mentioned in the book, but he didn't know who the three people were except You Jiyuan.
In the next second, he only heard Pei Huaiji say: "The name of one of the founders is Ba Quan. ”
"Another person is Sheng Jiangang, who jumped off the building and died seventeen years ago." Pei Huaiji paused for half a second and continued: "And this Ba Quan also happened to be sentenced to five years in prison for the crime of intentional injury with serious circumstances seventeen years ago. ”
You Mian made up for the sentence that Pei Huaiji didn't finish in his heart.
The first thing Ba Quan did when he was released from prison five years later was to break into You's house and find the You family, and this was the reason for the appearance of a report of a burglary case twelve years ago with Bai Peilan as the informant.
But they ended up in a settlement.
You Mian twisted his eyebrows slightly, since they have reconciled, will this be the key fact that the You family and his wife have been covering up?
Before You Mian could continue to think, Pei Huaiji's voice smashed into the silent office.
"But Ba Quan died nine years ago."
You Mian's fingers clutching the document tightened, "Dead?" ”
Pei Huaiji nodded, "Committed suicide by jumping off the building, and the place of death is the same as the unfinished building where Sheng Jian just died seventeen years ago." ”
Pei Huaiji's voice was dry for a moment, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he still asked, "Do you remember what characteristics those people who kidnapped you back then?" Looks, heights, and the like. ”
You Mian's gaze fell on Ba Quan's age, if he was 42 years old when he entered the burglary, Ba Quan would have been 45 at the time of his death.
You Mian shook his head, "The person who kidnapped me is very young, although I can't remember it clearly, but he is a tall man. ”
There is also a discrepancy with Ba Quan, who is only 1.7 meters tall in the police record.
Suddenly, Pei Huaiji said in a deep voice: "Baquan has a son, who is 26 years old. ”
As soon as You Mian raised his head, he heard Pei Huaiji say: "But we can't find this person for the time being, and there is no news." ”
As soon as Pei Huaiji's words fell, the information in You Mian's hand was also finished.
You Mian originally just wanted Pei Huaiji to investigate the entanglement between the Anxin Welfare Institute and the You family, but he didn't expect Pei Huaiji to even find out such a long-standing matter, and his mood was complicated for a while.
In the silent office, Pei Huaiji said: "The adoption records of the Anxin Welfare Institute are more difficult to check than the police records, and many materials and documents are missing. ”
You Mian had already thought of this result, but before he could speak, Pei Huaiji said again: "You Mian, do you want to find your biological parents?" ”
