Dear Officer Zhuang

Chapter 57 Rewards
Tian Jianghui seemed to have just remembered this.

She said: "Oh, I completely forgot about it. She's gone... Forget it, anyway, she can't ask any questions from other students. I'll give it to her when she comes next time."

……

After Wen Mi left Huashi No. [-] Middle School, she returned directly to Zhenzhi News Agency.

Before Ye Hui came back, Wen Mi sat at her desk and carefully looked at the photos of the graduation students of Huashi No. [-] Middle School and Class No. [-] on her mobile phone.

Photos alone are not enough, she also needs to have the contact information of these people.

Tian Jianghui definitely has something to hide.

I don't know if what she concealed has anything to do with Tao Renxiao's kidnapping case.

If she called and asked the students in Class [-] one by one, she might have some clues.

Wen Mi did it when she thought of it, and she began to look up the current contact information of the students in the graduation book.

She had just checked how many people there were when Ye Hui came back in a hurry.

As soon as Ye Hui came back, he first filled himself with a large pot of water.

"Sister Wen Mi, I'm done checking." Ye Hui pulled up a stool and sat down next to Wen Mi: "I've looked for Xie Fu, and she doesn't know anyone else who was humiliated by Tao Renxiao. The ones who brag the most are Cao Songpeng and Cheng Zheng."

Ye Hui continued: "I went to find Tan Wang and Fan Xiao again, and they gave two names. But I have talked with those two people, and their experience of being humiliated by Tao Renxiao is not comparable to that of Cao Songpeng and Cheng Zheng. Yes, and the two of them are not as caring and angry as Cao Songpeng and Cheng Zheng."

"However," Ye Hui became slightly proud: "I have another discovery."

"What discovery?" Wen Mi asked along the way.

"Xie Fu also graduated from Huashi No. [-] Middle School. She has an older brother named Xie Xiang who also graduated from Huashi No. [-] Middle School, and is from Class [-] of Huashi No. [-] Middle School." Ye Hui said.

Wen Mi vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen the name Xie Xiang in her graduation book.

She picked up the phone, clicked on the photo album, swiped around, and found Xie Xiang in the graduation album.

"Sister Wen Mi, you are amazing. You got all the graduation albums back then." Ye Hui looked closely at Wen Mi's phone.

Wen Mi pointed to Xie Xiang's photo and asked him: "Is Xie Fu's real brother him?"

Ye Hui tilted his head: "I don't know what Xie Fu's brother looks like. I just found out that her brother also graduated from Class [-], No. [-] Middle School in Huashi City, so I thought maybe Xie Xiang and Tao Renxiao are classmates."

"Well, your guess is right." Wen Mi praised.

Ye Hui was embarrassed and then grinned proudly: "However, Xie Xiang and Tao Renxiao are classmates. I haven't found out whether it has anything to do with Xie Fu and Tao Renxiao's previous relationship and Tao Renxiao's kidnapping."

"There are hypotheses before you can demonstrate, and in the process of demonstrating, you can make new discoveries." Wen Mi said: "Step by step."

"Yeah!" Ye Hui nodded heavily: "Then I'll check now if there is any connection between them?"

"How are you going to check?" Wen Mi asked.

Ye Hui "Uh..." for a while, then tentatively said, "Ask Xie Fu?"

"Yes." Wen Mi first affirmed: "But at most she can answer you. Before dating Tao Renxiao, did she know that Xie Xiang and Tao Renxiao were classmates? Did Tao Renxiao mention Xie Xiang in front of her? Yes, and it's hard for you to verify the authenticity of her answers."

Ye Hui pondered and nodded: "Indeed."

He touched his chin and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a better way.

He asked Wen Mi: "Sister Wen Mi, how do you check?"

"I think you can't get anything out of asking Xie Fu. It's better to directly check Xie Xiang's recent situation and his relationship with Tao Renxiao."

Ye Hui clenched his fist with his right hand and beat the palm of his left hand: "It's a way! I'll check it now!"

Wen Mi nodded, and continued to check the current contact information of the third class graduates.

She plans to check the contact information first tonight, and call tomorrow to ask questions.

She and Ye Hui were busy with their own business, and it was past eight o'clock in the evening.

When Wen Mi realized that it was past eight o'clock in the evening, she quickly suspended her work, got up and went to the front desk.

At this time, there were not many people in the office, and most of them left work on time, including the front desk.

Just as Wen Mi expected, there was a kraft paper envelope on the front desk with the words "Wen Mi Received" written on it.

Today they published the two photo fragments at the request of the kidnappers. The kidnappers must have seen it, so they sent a new envelope.

Wen Mi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

This time it was an envelope, not a package, which meant that there shouldn't be anything like a severed finger inside.

Wen Mi took the envelope and returned to her desk.

Ye Hui saw it, and immediately came over: "There is a new letter? When and how did the kidnappers deliver it? The package he left on the stairs last night, the police later checked the surveillance cameras of the entire building. No suspicious person was found. The kidnappers are too elusive!"

"It can only be said that he came prepared, so that the police did not easily find out." Wen Mi had already cut open the envelope with a paper knife while speaking.

A fragment of a photo and a photo were mixed in the A6-sized white paper this time.

There are a few lines printed on the white paper——

——You have finally published the photos this time, and I would like to reward you with a recent photo of Tao Renxiao.He is fine with me.But whether he will recover in the future depends on whether you can publish some of the new photos before 12:[-] noon tomorrow.

In that photo, Tao Renxiao was tightly tied to a chair.

He was covered in wounds, and the blood from the wound stained his white shirt everywhere.

His mouth was covered with thick tape, and his eyes were widened with fear, the whites of which stood out.He lost his index fingers on both hands.

Tao Renxiao was also in the photo fragments this time.

It's just that he looks much younger and greener than he is now.His expression was stern and haughty, scornful of something.

In the fragments of the photo, only his upper body in a white shirt was exposed.

Wen Mi stared at Tao Renxiao's face in the fragments of the photo, comparing it with the current him.

She suddenly thought that the Tao Renxiao in the photo fragments seemed more like the him she saw in the graduation album.

Wen Mi quickly clicked on her phone's photo album, and found Tao Renxiao on the graduation album she took.

really……

Tao Renxiao in the photo fragments is very similar to his appearance in junior high school.

So, the photo that the kidnappers deliberately wanted to publish was taken when Tao Renxiao was in junior high school?
Wen Mi compared the three photo fragments received so far.

Feet in white shoes...chest in a khaki jacket...and Tao Renxiao in a white shirt.

Judging from the only three photo fragments currently available, there are at least two people in this photo.
