Could it be that Lao Ding's real name is Xing Zhong?

I secretly speculated.

Because the work in our department is extremely weird and dangerous, and we often need to hide our identities, we don’t know Lao Ding’s real name and origin, even if we have known him for more than 20 years. This is discipline.

The files contained in the second information bag that Lan Ling handed over to me are obviously her own investigations after discovering the piece of paper that Lao Ding hid, and the content is much more detailed than that of Lao Ding's paper.I was a little surprised, if the person recorded in the file was Lao Ding himself, why did he hide a piece of paper that simply recorded himself?Does he still need to investigate himself?But when I read the file that Lan Ling gave me in detail, I immediately discovered the problem, and it was still a serious problem.

The time of the resume does not match.

According to the records in the archives, this man named Xing Zhong served as a soldier in Xinjiang for several years when he joined the army.I vaguely remember that Lao Ding also mentioned that he had stayed in Xinjiang for a while, but this memory is not clear, so I can't be sure.Looking back, there was a problem with the records in the file. It said that Xing Zhong was later transferred from Xinjiang and went directly to southern Xinjiang. He made a lot of contributions on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang until he was finally discharged.The records on the file during this period are very detailed, including battles, achievements, positions, unit configurations, etc., which look very real.However, the biggest problem lies here. During this period of time, Lao Ding is living with us in the deep mountain base, and is by our side every day.It is absolutely impossible to appear in the southern border battlefield.

This man named Xing Zhong is not Lao Ding!But who is he?Why do you look so similar to Lao Ding?

actually.It's not uncommon for people to look alike.Needless to say, twins.Among blood relatives, there are not a few who look very similar.Even, sometimes, two people who have no blood or life relationship at all can look surprisingly similar, just like a joke made by God.However, this is less the case.

In any case, if I just find someone who looks very similar to the young Lao Ding, I don't think there is any big problem.Of course, Lan Ling would not be so nervous after finding out about this matter.The real problem here is that Lao Ding was the first to discover this matter, and he is now missing.Such a situation undoubtedly means that there is something wrong with this man named Xing Zhong, who looks very similar to Lao Ding when he was young.And Lao Ding's disappearance must have a deep connection with him. [

Who is this person? !

I stared at the file in my hand and frowned fiercely.

"Fifth brother, this person is real, at least in the household registration records." Lan Ling said.After a slight pause, she continued: "I have checked the household registration records of the relevant units, and I know this person's current address. However, I don't know if his people really live there."

Having said that, Lan Ling's meaning is obvious.She has obviously done a lot of work after she found out about this matter, and she has been waiting for me to come back, or she hopes that I will make a decision.

I nodded.He said to her, "Let's go and see."

After making a decision, Lan Ling and I immediately started preparations.We first adjusted our work order.After picking two unimportant tasks and making basic records, he quickly left the base.We didn't tell anyone about this, because we didn't know what Lao Ding's disappearance meant, so we had better suppress it until we found any clues.Anyway, the people in the action team haven't found out yet, so let them keep in the dark.

After a few days of exhausting boats and cars, Lan Ling and I arrived at a small fishing village on the South China Sea.Xiaocun's name is a bit strange—seven, just this one word, I don't know where it came from.However, compared to all kinds of weird place names on the vast land of the motherland, the names here are considered normal.I once went to a city in Hubei, where there was a street named "Dwarf Street", but I walked all the way from the street to the end of the street, not only did I not see a single dwarf, but I also saw many taller and stronger than me I don't know why he got his name.

The scale of Qicun is very small, roughly speaking, there are about thirty households with a hundred or so people.Such a small village is the most troublesome for investigators. Regardless of whether the villagers here are xenophobic or not, it is impossible to just walk into the village without attracting attention. Other things can be imagined .In order not to startle the enemy, Lan Ling and I had no choice but to go back to the nearest small town, planning to collect some information from there before talking about other things.

A few days later, we returned to the small village with a villager from Seventh Village. We wanted to visit the small village with simple folk customs under the banner of "artist collection".Being able to open the gap from this villager is entirely thanks to the fact that he bought dozens of catties of fish one after another in the past few days.Not to mention that Lan Ling and I feel sick when we see fish now, just from the eyes of the waiter in the back kitchen of the small hotel, we can know how painful the price of this behavior is - the eyes are nothing like watching a pair of psychopaths the difference.

In any case, we finally entered the village with a valid reason.After a few days of wandering, we got to know the villagers more or less.Correspondingly, we also found out some very useful news from them.

There are only two most important pieces of news, one good and one bad.The bad news is that our target, Xing Zhong, does live here all year round. However, he is away from home now, and it is said that he has been away for several months.If we can't see people, our psychology has no bottom.But it was not convenient for us to take out the photos in hand for the villagers to identify, so we had to carefully knock sideways, hoping to see Xing Zhong's photos from other places.Unfortunately, we were never able to do so.According to the villagers, Xing Zhong basically does not take pictures, and has not seen him for so many years.Even during the census, he took old photos from that year and handed them over to the village office.

In this way, our investigation is only half completed.However, we also got a piece of good news.We learned from the villagers that a few years ago, Xing Zhong had rescued a seriously injured young man at the seaside of Houya, and then adopted the homeless young man as his adopted son and lived together in the small village.However, this young man is not in the village now. He went to the capital a few years ago and has not been back since then.

Mu Qisheng - this is the name of Xing Zhong's adoptive son.

The moment I heard this name, a pair of blade-like eyes immediately appeared in my mind.It's him!My intuition helped me lock onto the target.

After getting this information, Lan Ling and I left the village immediately.I think those villagers will soon forget that the artist with the "big beard" and his "male disciple" have ever been to the village, and they will not remember what they asked.We rushed back to the capital as quickly as possible, and then mobilized internal resources to investigate Mu Qisheng.Although my intuition has confirmed that he is the man I saw last time, I can't be reckless, I have to confirm it through information before I can act.Unexpectedly, this investigation found a problem.I found that Mu Qisheng's current legal identity was obtained with the help of others, except that he could vaguely grasp that he was probably Xing Zhong's adoptive son, his past was completely blank. [

I have to confirm his relationship with Xing Zhong.So, I decided to take the initiative to find him.

One day, I found his home according to the address I got in the information, but it turned out to be nothing.In desperation, I could only find a place to monitor the surrounding area, waiting for his return.Many days later, Mu Qisheng and his party returned to their residence in a hurry.Beside him was the female captain, Ruan Yu, and another man and a woman.From the information at hand, I know that the woman is his secretary Xia Qianqian, and the man is his good friend Yan Daojie.

I found an opportunity to go directly to the door, and as soon as we met, I showed him the stack of photos in my hand, hoping to see his reaction.As a result, his reaction was expected, but unexpected.

Mu Qisheng recognized Lao Ding in the photo as his adoptive father, that is, the man named Xing Zhong.I have already thought of this. After all, when Lan Ling and I saw Xing Zhong's young photos for the first time, we also regarded him as an old man, which shows how similar these two people are.However, I didn't expect him to have such a big reaction after seeing the photo. In order to get news of Xing Zhong immediately, he almost got into a fight with me.Only then did I learn from him that this man named Xing Zhong had also disappeared, and it had been several months.

what 's wrong?Why did two people with similar looks disappear at the same time?What is hidden here?What is the connection between these two people?

I was a little dazed, even a little unbelievable.However, I could tell from Mu Qisheng's expression and actions that what he said was definitely not a lie, and that Xing Zhong should indeed have disappeared.I left his residence full of doubts. When I went downstairs, I happened to meet Ruan Yu and Yan Daojie coming back, but I avoided it in time, so I should not have been seen by them.

Back at the squat place, I discussed with Lan Ling for a long time, but I still couldn't find a clue.In the end, we decided to keep watching Mu Qisheng.It's not because I don't believe his words, but because he is the person who has the deepest relationship with Xing Zhong. If Xing Zhong has any news, he must be the first to know.If you want to find Xing Zhong, the only way at this moment is to stare at him.

I continued to monitor from a squatting position, while Lan Ling returned to the base.We need to understand the situation and see if there is any news of Lao Ding in the ministry.If there is still none, then Lan Ling will have to do some work to make our investigation reasonable.

It didn't take long for Mu Qisheng and his party to set off again.I'm very surprised, shouldn't a private detective work in a place he is familiar with?Why do you travel so frequently?I suppressed my doubts and followed. Unexpectedly, when I followed Shennongjia, Hubei, I lost it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote and monthly pass.
