spy on

After arranging Zhao Zifeng's work, Lu Lingyou asked Liu Wei to continue talking.
"This person has an impression of Su Meng, because Su Meng's appearance has not changed much from childhood to adulthood.
Especially there is an oval tear mole under the left corner of the eye, which is very characteristic.
So after Su Meng's debut, she became popular on Weibo, and she recognized it immediately.
When she was young, her parents both went abroad to work, so she lived with her grandfather all the time.
Every day at the entrance of the orphanage, I accompanied my grandfather to sell breakfast.
According to her recollection, there were indeed a few children who left a deep impression on her, and they were all mischievous and troublesome.
At that time, the resources of the orphanage were not as rich as they are now, and there may have been a few small groups among the children who loved to hug each other, probably for food and clothing.
There are several younger children who are always bullied.
Su Meng should be one of the children being bullied."

Liu Wei's throat smoked, he swallowed his saliva and continued.
"Boss, you are right.
Beside Su Meng, there is indeed another child walking very close to her, but I thought it might be Tao Wan or other good friends, but I didn't expect it to be a boy.
This boy has climbed over the wall many times and stole the meat buns from the stall while the adults were not paying attention.
At first her grandfather wanted to complain to the leader of the orphanage, but later found out that the boy stole the buns and did not eat them himself.
Instead, I put it in my clothes and took it back to the thinner Su Meng in the courtyard wall.
Her grandfather was moved with compassion, and since then, he kept a few buns every day and handed them to the two children from the side of the courtyard wall.
Sometimes it's her grandfather who goes, sometimes it's her.
It lasted for about a year and a half, and no one responded when she went to deliver food, and she thought the two children had been adopted.”

Lu Lingyou frowned and looked at the documents in his hand.
"Does this boy have information?"

Liu Wei shook his head.
"The strange thing is that after the fire, the boy's information disappeared.
It seems that there is no such person in the orphanage.
Oh yes, the fire happened when Su Meng was 16 years old.
According to the memory of the person involved, the boy was a few years older than Su Meng, and he was much taller at that time.
It is estimated that at the time of the fire, he was no longer in the orphanage.
If I was studying normally, I would have graduated from university by then.”

Liu Wei took the water glass handed over by Zhao Yue and took two sips.
"Oh yes, it's not that Su Meng has never been adopted.
She was considered relatively young among the children in the orphanage at that time.
In general, adoptive families will first choose younger children in order to better establish relationships with their children.
According to records, Su Meng had four chances to be adopted.
But I don't know why, every time I was picked up for less than half a month, I was sent back intact.
After so much tossing and going, Su Meng is getting older, and she has never had anyone else since then."

Liu Wei handed over to Lu Lingyou a photo that was faded and the face was almost invisible.
"This is the only surviving group photo of the orphanage at that time.
Look at the middle of the second row, the girl in the conspicuous white gauze dress is Su Meng.
The boy in the first row squatting in front of her wearing an ill-fitting adult POLO shirt should be the boy who stole the bun for her.
However, the boy's face could not be seen clearly, and the photo was roasted in the fire and was splashed with water when the fire was put out.
Restoration is estimated to be unlikely."

Zhao Yue craned her neck to look at the photo in Lu Lingyou's hand, she didn't know what she saw, and suddenly let out an ah.
"Ah, boss."

Lu Lingyou didn't respond, but Zhao Zifeng, who was sorting out the photos with his head bowed, was suddenly taken aback.
He looked up.
"What's wrong, I'm startled."

Zhao Yue stammered, and pointed vigorously at the photo in Lu Lingyou's hand.
"Look."

Several people all got up and surrounded the past.
"Here, here."

Liu Wei frowned.
"what."

Zhao Yue yelled.
"Look at the little boy's lower leg under Su Meng, is this a mark of being soaked in water, or a scar birthmark?"

Lu Lingyou held up the photo, followed the light and looked at it carefully for a while.
"It doesn't look like a water mark or a birthmark, maybe trauma.
Do the children in the orphanage have complete medical records?"

Liu Wei nodded.
"This is comprehensive, because the records are all in the local cooperative hospital.
I haven't had time to look, you wait for me to look for it."

Liu Wei quickly ran to the other side of the conference table and rummaged through a large pile of documents.
"Calf..Calf Records."

Several people just watched Liu Wei turn around for several minutes, Zhao Yue couldn't wait, so she walked over to help.
Two or three minutes later, Zhao Yue's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, it's not here.
Look, calves.
Calf injury. Let me see, is this bitten by a dog?
There is a record of a rabies shot."

Lu Lingyou received a copy of the medical records.
The conversation about Su Meng's dog that Fang Ning mentioned when he called just now suddenly came to mind.
"Su Meng was 26 years old when she died, and 16 years old when she was pushed forward to the orphanage and disbanded in a fire, ten years ago.
Is there any record about the dog that Su Meng raised?"

Zhao Zifeng froze for a moment, and quickly opened the relevant case files about Su Meng in the computer to search.
"Ah, it doesn't seem like it just mentioned that her dog died of pancreatitis, old dog."

Lu Lingyou tapped the table twice with his fingertips.
"Check it out now."

There is an indescribable feeling.
When Fang Ning mentioned this question just now, Lu Lingyou hadn't quite reacted yet.
But the dog that appears repeatedly now, he always feels as if he has appeared somewhere before.
Not the file, not the acrylic sign in the Weibo photo.
There must be some inadvertent detail that has been overlooked.
Zhao Yue didn't know why and looked at the solemn Lu Lingyou.
"Boss, what's wrong?
What's wrong with this dog?
In the trace inspection of Su Meng's house, no traces of dog hair were found, including some difficult-to-clean places in the sewer, not a single one.
This at least shows that when Su Meng moved into her current residence, there were no traces of pets in her home.
This is too far away from the time of her death, what can it be related to?"

Lu Lingyou pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head.
"I always feel like I've seen this dog somewhere."

Zhao Yue couldn't believe it.
"Ah? A dog that has been dead for so long, where can you see it?
Boss, you are metaphysics."

Lu Lingyou also couldn't figure it out.
"Check first."

During the silence between several people, Lu Lingyou's phone on the table rang again.
"Deputy Team Liu."

The caller was none other than Vice-Captain Liu of Team Three, who was in charge of Wang Qing's rape case.
"Captain Lu, are you still in the bureau? I have a discovery here."

"Yes, come here."
