Rong Jian nodded: "When Xiao Xia had an accident, Ling Xiaodong was going to college in another city. When he learned that his daughter had an accident, Ling Lagen took Rao Qiulan to Hwaseong as soon as possible. He didn't want to encounter a car accident while waiting for the bus at the station. Ling Lagen died on the spot. , Rao Qiulan, who witnessed the tragic death of her husband, and her daughter had another accident, she collapsed immediately. After Ling Xiaodong arrived in Huacheng, she did not take care of her sister's affairs and hurried back to Qingyuan County. At this time, he was sent in. The mother who had gone to the hospital was already delirious. While taking care of his mother, he took the time to go home and deal with his father's later generations. After taking away a large amount of compensation from the driver who caused the accident, he went to Hwaseong alone. It was winter. The weather was very cold and the road was icy. In order to avoid traffic accidents, all buses from the county to the countryside were suspended. By the way, Ling Lagen was killed by an oncoming uncontrollable vehicle.

"According to Ling Shuigen, an uncle of Ling Xiaodong’s family, because the bus was out of service and unable to go out, he planned to let Ling Xiaodong wait for Tianqing to accompany him to Huacheng to deal with Xiaoxia’s affairs. He did not expect Ling Xiaodong the next morning. It’s gone. It’s said that some villagers saw Ling Xiaodong walking towards Qingyuan County at the entrance of the village. They guessed that he could not wait for the weather to clear, and walked to Qingyuan County. There was a lot of time delay in this process, which should be Xiaoxia. The reason why her family did not show up afterwards. After Ling Xiaodong left, it was clear after four or five days. Ling Shuigen thought that Ling Xiaodong would transport Xiaoxia’s ashes back to Lingjiazhuang, but he didn’t expect to wait until the New Year’s Eve. Xiaodong came back. He was very worried about Xiaodong’s conflict with the people in the city because of Xiaoxia’s death. After discussing with the village head, the village head took a few guys to Hwaseong to find Xiaodong. He didn’t expect to find Xiaodong in Hwaseong. They learned that Xiaodong had taken Xiaoxia's ashes and relics ten days ago. They rushed back to the hospital where Rao Qiulan was hospitalized in Qingyuan County without stopping, only to find that Rao Qiulan was gone!"

"Then what?" Mu Yu pressed his heart tightly.

"Then? Then they never saw Rao Qiulan and Ling Xiaodong mother and son again. Some people say that Ling Xiaodong was in a car accident with her mother and son while taking her mother to seek medical treatment. Others said that Ling Xiaodong was insane because of despair of life. His mother committed suicide. Some people say that Ling Xiaodong is afraid that taking her mother back to Lingjiazhuang will make her feel more emotional and worsen her illness, so he takes her away from home. People from other villages even said that he saw his mother and son begging for a living in a foreign land. After that, there was no news from their mother and son, life and death uncertain."

"If there is a car accident or suicide, the transportation department will contact the people in his hometown to deal with later generations, right?" Mu Yu didn't want to believe these two possibilities.

"If you know the identity of the deceased, you will definitely contact your relatives and friends to deal with it. If you don't know the identity of the deceased, that may not be necessary."

Mu Yu shook his head slightly: "I don't really believe in suicide. People in the country always pay attention to falling leaves to their roots and going to the ground for safety. His father is buried in Lingjiazhuang. If he really wants to take his mother to commit suicide because of despair of life, he should not He chose to die in a foreign country. But then again, maybe he has spent all his money for the treatment of his mother, and he may not have the travel expenses to return, or he still has money, but because there is no way to cure his mother’s disease, he feels shameless. Father, so it may not be impossible to die in a foreign country."

"By the way, Ling Shuigen also provided me with a clue that Qingyuan County has the habit of picking up soil for the graves of the ancestors on the day of the winter solstice and sweeping the graves. Since Ling Lagen's death, Ling Xiaodong has never returned to Lingjiazhuang. In the third year, Ling Lagen’s cemetery was not only overgrown with weeds, but the head of the grave was almost flat. Ling Shuigen guessed that Ling Xiaodong would not be back. That year’s winter solstice called his two sons to bring dustpans. The shovel was going to prepare Ling Lagen's grave, but accidentally found that there were traces of burnt paper money in front of the tombstone."

Mu Yu surprised: "Ling Xiaodong went back?!"

"It should not be him. Because there is a columbarium with his name inscribed in front of the tombstone."

"Engraved his name?! Could it be that he, he really died?!"

"A total of three people's names were engraved on the columbarium: Rao Qiulan, Ling Xiaodong, and Ling Xiaoxia. However, when Ling Shuigen found the columbarium, the jar had turned over in front of the tombstone, and there was only a little ash inside. They were one meter away from the tombstone. I picked up the lid. I guess the jar was knocked over by some small animal. The cemetery was a vent. The wind was particularly strong in autumn. It is normal for the ashes in the jar to be blown off by the wind."

"Is the columbarium still there?"

"Ling Shuigen thinks that the columbarium was from Rao Qiulan's mother and three sons, and that Ling Xiaodong sent it back through a friend. In order for the mother and son three to be able to enter the earth for safety, he scraped a layer of soil around the columbarium and put it in the jar, and then picked After an auspicious day, the coffin was opened for Ling Lagen, and the coffin altar was placed in Ling Lagen’s coffin. It was a reunion of the four of them. I wanted to open the coffin to see the coffin altar, but Ling Shuigen firmly disagreed. He said that the country people are the most taboo to open the coffin. Unlocking the coffin indiscriminately will inevitably lead to misfortune, ranging from the whole family to the whole village. The last time the coffin was opened was because of their rural customs: the old couple must be buried together after death. Together, otherwise the future generations of husbands and wives will be at odds, and the ghosts of the deceased will be uneasy underground. Because Rao Qiulan and her two children’s ashes are packed together, there is no way to separate, so they can only be buried together. In this case Not only will there be nothing wrong with opening the coffin, but it will also prosper with everyone. Going to the village does what it is, fearing that it will arouse the resentment of the villagers in Lingjiazhuang, so I didn’t mention opening the coffin anymore. Besides, I think the coffin altar is nothing. There are no useful clues to prove that Ling Xiaodong and Rao Qiulan are really dead."

"Do you suspect that they weren't dead? This columbarium is just a cover?" In fact, Mu Yu also had this kind of speculation in his heart, but it was just a guess without evidence.

Rong Jian nodded: "The ashes of Rao Qiulan and Ling Xiaoxia should be contained in the ashes altar. Ling Xiaodong should not have died. The person who sent the ashes back should be him! In other words, when he took his mother away from Huacheng He took Xiaoxia's ashes with him. After his mother passed away, he packed their ashes and sent them back to Lingjiazhuang. Without worry, he began to plan this retaliatory serial murder."

Mu Yu agreed with his words: "Ling, two points of water and one horizontal line are exactly in line with the writing of the blood written by Li Jianyun before his death. It should be that when he killed Li Jianyun, he made Li Jianyun a ghost, and Li Jianyun knew him. Who is it, looking at the opportunity to secretly write down those few pens. But where is this Ling Xiaodong now? By the way, Team Rong, is there a picture of him?"

"There are photos. I have people zoom in on his university archives." Rong Jian said as he took out a photo from his bag and handed it to her.

This is a black-and-white half-length photo. The boy in the photo looks very beautiful, but is too thin, so that his eyes sink deeply into the eye sockets, making the already large eyes look a little scary.

"Xia Xia is also very thin, should she look similar to him? By the way, are there any old photos in his old house?" Mu Yu made up Xiao Xia's appearance on his own mind—the police station did not have the file of Xiao Xia's case, she I have never seen a picture of Xiao Xia, I just heard Xiao Jing describe it.

"No. I went to the old residence of the Ling family to look for it. Although the Ling Shuigen and his wife have helped to look after the Ling family's house over the years, it has been shaky at the moment because it has not lived for many years and the house is already very dilapidated. It’s a dilapidated house. I heard from the village head that if Ling Xiaodong doesn’t come back this year, the village committee will demolish the house." Long Jian Chang sighed, "The villagers sympathize with Ling Lagen’s family. I often hear all kinds of bad rumors about them, but the kind-hearted villagers still hold the slightest hope that Ling Xiaodong can come back."

Mu Yu stared at Ling Xiaodong's photo for a long time, and sighed deeply: "Look carefully at his facial features. If his face can be supported by some flesh, he should be a handsome guy."

"That's for sure. Didn't Xie Xiaojing also say that Xiaoxia looks good? I heard Ling Shuigen say that his brother and sister look very similar."

"Team Rong, have you checked Ling Xiaodong's identity information?"

Knowing what she meant, Rong Jian nodded: "As soon as I knew that Ling Xiaoxia had an older brother named Ling Xiaodong, I asked someone to check it. I checked it together with Rao Qiulan's ID card information, but nothing was found. It seems that they were six years old. The former disappeared out of thin air."

"Could it be that he changed his status before taking his mother out of Huacheng six years ago? Maybe he was planning these murders at that time? I remember you said that he was before he left Qingyuan County. He received a large sum of compensation for his father’s car accident. It shouldn’t be difficult to spend money to get a fake ID card six years ago? If he wanted revenge, he would definitely think of a way out for himself. He won’t use his real identity information to appear in front of the world. If a fake ID is used, it is estimated... eh! Even if the identity information is fake, the photo must be real! You can ask someone to make his photo more rounded, See if he will find out-if he has money to eat, he will definitely get a little fatter."

Rong Jian obviously thought of this level a long time ago: "I have confessed to others to do this, and there is no good news for the time being. What I am most worried about now is that he not only changed his identity information, but in case he also corrects. Rong, then it’s harder for us to find him out than ascending to the sky-if murder had been brewing six years ago, we would really think about the future together. The one who killed Ling Lagen was a rich man. People, after learning that Rao Qiulan was crazy and understanding the situation of the Ling family, he lost 500,000 yuan to the Ling family. At that time, Ling Xiaodong used the 500,000 yuan to change his face slightly, that’s not a problem."

Mu Yu suddenly felt a headache: "I thought that after finding out the identity of Xiao Xia, I would be able to trace the murderer. I didn't expect it to be so complicated."

Hearing her frustration, Rong Jian laughed disapprovingly: "At least we are no longer headless flies."

"But when can we..."

"Xiaoyu!" The door of the ward was pushed open, and Qin Jinhuan rushed in, "How are you?"

"Ahuan, are you here?" Mu Yu hurriedly greeted him, "Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm discussing the case with Team Rong."

"Don't discuss it, rest first." Qin Jinhuan pushed her onto the bed, and at the same time expelled Rong Jian with a cold face, "Xiaoyu is going to rest, don't disturb her."

"Ahuan!"

"Sister-in-law, rest. I'll ask them how they are doing their investigation. I'll tell you if I have news." Rong Jian, who had already felt Qin Jinhuan's murderous spirit, ran away after speaking.

"Eh! Team Rong!" Seeing that the door to the ward was closed, Mu Yu was a little helpless. When he turned to Qin Jinhuan's worried and annoyed gaze, fearing that he would anger Cheng Xiang and Weng Yun, he lied down obediently.

"Don't think about anything else, the doctor said you need to rest." Qin Jinhuan tucked her quilt, "Close your eyes."

She didn't need to say, he had already felt clearly what she did and said.

She closed her eyes obediently.

He was fairly satisfied with her obedience, and sat down beside her, holding her hand, looking at her with worry and affection.

Knowing his worry, she was very guilty, but did not open her eyes, but instead held his hand.

When the two were communicating silently, there was a sudden noise outside, which was actually mixed with the sound of a woman shouting Mu Yu's name. Mu Yu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
