Han Jingchen heard Gu Wanqing's words and looked out the window with deep eyes: "You are right, it is indeed time to come back."

Xinyan stared at the calendar on the table for a while: "I'm afraid I won't have time to go back to Eastern Province to pick them up."

Han Jingchen heard her daughter's words and looked at Gu Wanqing: "Leave this matter to me. I happen to be on a business trip to the Eastern Province in a few days. I will pick her up along the way."

Xinyan thought of Grandma Zhang: "Dad, can Uncle Shanzi's job be transferred?"

Han Jingchen knew what his daughter was thinking: "It was not possible before. I was worried about his personal safety. It just so happened that your grandpa and grandma also needed his protection. Now that the task has been successfully completed and the case has been concluded, he no longer has to worry."

Xinyan thought about the scars from Zhang Yueshan’s forehead to his eyelids, and thought about going into the space tonight to make some scar-removing ointment based on ancient prescriptions.

If that scar could be removed, no one would recognize or suspect him.

After all, I heard from Uncle Shanzi that the scar existed before he took the mission. He was selected because of the scar on his face.

　　I acted as soon as I thought of it, just in time for my father to take it with me.

On the other side, He Jinxuan unexpectedly met someone in the courtyard of the municipal transportation company.

This man looked very much like his brother-in-law Cui Ziqiang, so he calmly struck up a conversation with him.

But the more we chatted, the more frightened I became. It turned out that this man was also from Sanyuan, Dongfang Province, but he had left his hometown due to work transfer a few years ago.

When he heard that he had worked in Shencheng for many years, he thought that his brother-in-law Cui Ziqiang's eldest brother and fourth brother all worked in Shencheng, so he asked casually: "Do you know Cui Ziqiang?"

The man was stunned for a moment and thought of something: "The second son of my wife's sister's family is named Cui Ziqiang. I don't know if I'm talking about the same person as you."

As soon as He Jinxuan told Cui Ziqiang’s family, the man laughed: “I didn’t expect that we are not only fellow villagers, but also relatives.”

 Next, He Jinxuan mentioned some things intentionally or unintentionally. The man was quite talkative and didn't notice anything wrong, so he answered all questions. The two chatted very speculatively.

He Jinxuan naturally talked with a purpose, so when the two separated, he already knew the situation of Comrade Nie Huaiyuan clearly, and made an appointment to visit his home the next day.

 He really wanted to find out the secrets hidden by the Cui family.

The next day, when He Jinxuan arrived at Nie's house, he happened to encounter a man about the same age as Cui Zi standing in the courtyard.

After seeing this person's appearance clearly, my suspicion was confirmed.

Nie Huai came out of the house and introduced him enthusiastically: "This is my youngest son Nie Hongbing." Then he said to Nie Hongbing: "This is your cousin Ziqiang's third uncle from Sanyuan."

The two exchanged pleasantries, but Nie Hongbing had to go out for something, so he left first.

He Jinxuan walked into the house and tentatively said with a smile: "Look, he is about the same age as my brother-in-law."

Nie Huaiyuan glanced at his youngest son: "There is only a few hours difference between his birth and Ziqiang's birth."

He Jinxuan pretended to be interested: "What a coincidence?"

Nie Huaiyuan was a good talker, so he told He Jinxuan the reason.

It turns out that Nie Huaiyuan’s wife and Cui’s mother were cousins. When their grandmother celebrated her birthday, the two sisters returned to their parents’ home with big bellies.

There was an accident at that time. The two sisters were frightened and both of them had fetal distress.

At that time, the family had not yet been separated, and the two of them were in the same room when the baby was born. However, Nie Huaiyuan's wife's mother had passed away, so Cui's mother was taking care of them throughout the whole process.

He Jinxuan understood everything after hearing this, but whether Cui's mother was involved at the time or knew about it after the fact requires further investigation.

Nie Huaiyuan also started chatting: "It's strange to say that Hong Bing's mother was only a week ahead of schedule at that time. Although she was induced to give birth, the child she gave birth to was not as strong as her cousin's child who was less than a month old.

It happened that my wife suffered a lot during childbirth and her milk supply was not enough. If my mother, Ziqiang, hadn’t helped nurse the baby for a few days, I don’t know if my little son would have been able to feed him. "

He Jinxuan looked at Nie Huaiyuan with a smile on his face: "Then will you meet Cui Ziqiang often in the future?"

Nie Huaiyuan didn't expect He Jinxuan to ask such a question, but he still smiled and replied: "I met him a few times when I was a child, and then I was transferred several times in my job. The further I was transferred, the further away from Sanyuan, and the fewer times I went back. .

But thinking about it, it seems that in the limited number of times I went back, I never saw the child again. "

 Speaking of this, Nie Huaiyuan couldn't help but look up at He Jinxuan: "You?"

He Jinxuan glanced outside, without hiding anything, and said his guess directly: "I only mentioned this to you. Whether my guess is wrong, or there is really a hidden secret here, you still have to verify it yourself. .”

As soon as these words came out, Nie Huaiyuan not only showed no anger, but instead nodded and said, "That's it."
