Ren Yi followed Gong Yingxian into the room. There were rows of bookshelves and several large tables in the huge room. There were many things like evidence on the table, and the walls were full of photos, newspaper clippings, information, etc.

One of them is exquisitely crafted and covered with white velvet cloth. There is only a lonely photo frame on the small table.

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

Ren Yi walked to him and handed the photo frame to Ren Yi.

Ren Yi solemnly took it over. What he received was not a small photo frame, but a trust that a person had never given to strangers for eighteen years.

The photo is a photo of the four of the family. It is the best-looking family that Ren Yi has ever seen. His father is handsome and elegant, his mother is beautiful in nature, and his children are all as beautiful as elves.

Ren Yi looked at the childish and cute 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 he happily opened his hands, as if he dared to embrace the whole world. There was no fear, no indifference, and no sorrow on this face.

But soon after, the child was taken away and fell from the clouds to an abyss that could never be freed.

Ren Yi couldn't help but look up at Gong Yingxian. Looking at Gong Yingxian who grew up, an indescribable pain came from his heart.

Gong Yingxian moved her eyes away and said indifferently: "Don't look at me with this kind of eyes."

Ren Yi held the photo frame, and his heart was so bitter that he didn't know what to say.

"My sister and Sister Yan are best friends, and they grew up together." Gong Yingxian chuckled, "When I was a child, I always liked to follow their butts, but they said that I could only take me to play when I grew up."

Ren Yi looked at the girl in the photo and looked a bit similar to Gong Feilan. As Qiu Yan said, she was a girl like an angel.

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

Ren Yi's nose felt sour, and he carefully put the photo frame back to its original position, and silently recited in his heart, 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 Yi sat down and looked around. The wall covered with various clues shocked him. He was also familiar with many photos - the scene after the fire.

Gong Yingxian followed Ren Yi's gaze and said, he had never repeated all this to anyone. He didn't know how to speak for a moment. He sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "My father was the chairman of Baosheng Group back then, and Tianhe Baosheng Chemical Factory is one of the chemical factories under Baosheng Group. You should know the cause of the accident."

Ren Yi nodded: "It is said that it was an explosion of ethylene acetate."

"Yes, after the explosion of ethylene acetate, it ignited the surrounding chemicals and caused a chain explosion. This is not controversial, but the real cause and responsible person for the accident..."

Gong Yingxian gritted her teeth, "It's definitely not what the media said."

"You mean, the case investigation was wrong."

"Someone is manipulating case investigations, creating perjury, misleading results, and killing my father when he found out that the matter might be exposed, pretending to commit suicide fearlessness, and putting all the blame on my father."

Ren Yi frowned deeply: "Do you know who did it?"

"I have doubts, but I can't be sure." Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice, "This case is very complicated and involves many people inside and outside the group. The evidence from that year is difficult to find. Sister Yan and I have a difficult investigation."

Ren Yi thought about it and asked several questions: "Is the chemical plant explosion accident or man-made? Who investigated the case back then? Are the same group of people investigating your fire case? What useful evidence is still preserved?"

"The investigation of the chemical factory explosion was said to be an accident, but given that the same person investigated my case, I had doubts. Eighteen years ago, electronic communications were underdeveloped and the Internet was just starting out. And because the case was settled that year, there was very little useful evidence, and I will show you later."

"Why isn't the person investigating the biggest suspect?"

Gong Yingxian's eyes burst into hatred, "The captain of the first Criminal Investigation Team of Hanning Branch died less than two years after the case was closed and was poisoned by alcohol."

"Maybe he was silenced?"

"Maybe, he was originally the biggest entry point." Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice, "Someone wants to bury everything from that year under the ashes, and never see the light of the sky. I insist on turning it out and let it be revealed in the world."

"What's going on with that bird's mask?"

Gong Yingxian lowered his eyes: "That night, a man wearing a bird's mask appeared. I saw him, but I thought it was a ghost. In the years that followed, I was not sure whether what I saw was an hallucination. Later, I did a deep memory retracement under the hypnosis of a psychologist and confirmed that there was such a person. However, the case had been closed for many years at that time, and the confession of a six-year-old child was useless."

"Memory Retracement..." Ren Yi took a breath of air conditioning.

To do a memory retracement, you must return to the memory scene under the guidance of a hypnotist, and it is usually impossible to succeed at once. In other words, Gong Yingxian has to return to the night when his house caught fire over and over again, and be in the most terrifying, painful, and cruelest memories over and over again, just to find useful clues.

Gong Yingxian had no extra expression on her face, but her eyes were empty.

Ren Yi felt very distressed. He could not imagine how Gong Yingxian survived in a foreign country over the years. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, touch Gong Yingxian's head, and trembled and said, "You have suffered."

Gong Yingxian's body shook slightly, and his expression was a little stiff, as if he was enduring something. He whispered: "As long as I can catch the murderer, I can pay any price."

"We will definitely catch the murderer." Ren Yi said confidently, "Before the case prosecution period is about to end, God will arrange an insider to fall into your hands. This is not a coincidence. It proves that the time for the sun is coming."

Gong Yingxian adjusted his emotions: "The bird's mask did not appear in the case investigation from beginning to end. Because I couldn't describe it clearly at the time and the police didn't believe anything, so the only one who knew about this mask was the murderer. How did the hooded man know, I will definitely find out."

"He is the best entry point now. You are a policeman, isn't it just for this day?"

Gong Yingxian nodded: "Only as a policeman can you use the powerful database of the public security system. Sister Yan has the same idea as me. Thanks to her over the years, when I was still young, she had done her best to investigate and collect evidence, leaving a lot of evidence that might have disappeared. Without her, I might not be able to hold on to today."

Ren Yi can now fully understand why Ying Xian was so gentle and close to Qiu Yancai. They carried the same pain and secrets and supported them all the way. Such a deep friendship is no less than his close relatives. Qiu Yan is a person he will never be able to compare with.

Ren Yi felt a little sad, but he was also glad that at least Gong Yingxian was not fighting alone. "Captain Qiu is indeed not an ordinary woman, but fortunately she has helped you.

Gong Yingxian stood up and walked to the clue wall: "Come on."

Ren Yi also walked over and looked closer to the photos of the scene after the fire and the old yellowed paper documents, which made him even more shocked.

Even if the evidence of the fire was extracted immediately, it was extremely damaged. Moreover, the scene was no longer there, and it was not easy to collect these things after so long.

"I have seen these evidences with fire appraisal experts before, but because the pixels of the photos are too low, I dare not reveal the details of the case to strangers, so 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 State Administration of Public Security. After the case is closed, they will keep it for twenty years. If there is no objection for twenty years, they will be destroyed, and only electronic files will be left."

"Then did you get it?"

Gong Yingxian shook her head: "I have seen it and taken photos, but I can't take it out. I have no reason to apply for physical evidence, but I may alarm the enemy. Unless I have enough evidence to question the investigation results of the closed case, this is a big event, which means that all the case handlers were held accountable and could not move without full confidence."

"When those restored photos come back, we will do the fire tune again."

At this time, a knock came from outside the door, and Qiu Yan arrived.

Ren Yi and her greet each other, she was still generous, confident and capable. Today she happened to be wearing a dark gray suit, which was very similar to Gong Yingxian's clothes. The two of them stood together, not only were they very familiar at first glance, but they also matched their appearance to temperament. They were like a perfect match.

Ren Yi felt that there seemed to be no room for him to stop around them, so he laughed at himself.

"Ying Xian, have you told Captain Ren about the case?"

Gong Yingxian said "yes".

"It's great that Captain Ren can help." Qiu Yan smiled. "With a professional fire investigation expert here, it will definitely bring a new turning point to the case."

Ren Yi said: "You are welcome. Now the new turning point is the suspect. I think this is God's arrangement."

Qiu Yan nodded: "Yes, it's been eighteen years. Why is it giving us new clues at the last juncture? This sense of fate is really mysterious." She smiled, "Maybe Captain Ren is our lucky star."

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

"When I came from the branch, Cai Qiang was trying Chen Pei, who was the suspect. This person was very difficult and seemed to be afraid of anything. He either didn't say anything or fooled the police and avoided our problems. He could not deny that he had been to Wanyuan Community that day in the face of evidence, but he did not admit to arson."

"Where is his accomplice?"

"The two of his accomplices were also arrested. They were mingled together, sometimes showing the scene and sometimes collecting debts, but they didn't seem to know about the arson, and we are still trying further."

"Where is the Cyber ​​Crime Department? Chen Pei's contact with the car burner must be online."

"Yes, I'm looking up, I don't believe he has left no trace."

"Does there any progress in the suspect in the car burning case? That Peng Fei?"

Qiu Yan said: "Peng Fei is not like a car burner, but we think he knows who it is. No matter what, he must know something. I have applied to detain him. His psychological defense will soon collapse, not far from opening his mouth."

Gong Yingxian also said: "Now, block them from two directions, and in the end they will block them into the same dead end. When they are desperate, they will bite each other and will not be far from the bottom of the water."

The three of them sat down and added some details of the case of Ren Yi. Ren Yi said that he would go to the brigade to investigate the fire files of the chemical factory explosion case and the Gong family arson case. Maybe there will be new discoveries. Even if the firefighters who were involved in the fire fighting that year were found, they would ask one by one, and it would be impossible for them to have no gains.

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

The three of them talked a lot, and finally the topic fell on Seraph.

"Xiao Tan said that this website has a predecessor. It was wiped out by the US judicial department a few years ago and has made a comeback in the past two years. Behind the website is a gang, with contacts and active users in China, and the number may be much larger than we imagined. These are some news that Xiao Tan found from the Internet."

Gong Yingxian sneered: "Since we caught Zhou Chuan and Chen Pei, this website has exposed a lot of things, and we will follow the clues to find more people."

"I don't doubt this, but I'm a little worried." Qiu Yan frowned, "Your information has been exposed. As the case deepens, I'm worried about your safety. If you have any notice, you must tell me that I will send police forces to protect you."

"good."

The three of them chatted again. Uncle Sheng had prepared lunch and came to ask them to go for dinner.

Qiu Yan stretched and said, "Come quickly." After that, he left with Bo Sheng talking and laughing.

"Come on." Gong Yingxian said while sorting out the information he took out.

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

Gong Yingxian replied casually: "Yes, right?"

"We are both friends. I also called you Dr. Gong, and you called me Captain Ren. Are you too distant?"

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

Ren Yi blinked his eyes. Although he wanted to call him, he had a strange thought that he didn't want to call Qiu Yan a different name. He said very far-fetchedly: "Your name is a bit difficult to speak."

"Why is my name difficult to pronounce? This is my grandfather's choice, and it makes a lot of sense."

"It's just... the pronunciation is not very smooth, what does this name mean?"

Gong Yingxian looked ahead with a blind eye and fell into memories: "There are three meanings, 'The dancer went to the festival to throw his sleeves, and the singer responded to the string and gave away the sound'. The string here is a zither string, 'Flying arrows are falling down, the arrows are like hedgehog's hair, the fierceness is getting stronger, and all shooting people are falling down.' The string here is a bow string, and grandpa hopes that I will practice both civil and military. Also, he said that people are lonely, and he hopes that I can find a soulmate in the chords of life."
