Bao Le discovered that the house her parents lived in in Mirror Realm was the one she lived in when she was eight years old and came to Bei Jing with her parents.She had an impression of the fountain with a faucet at the gate of the community. Although more than ten years have passed, the fountain no longer has water flowing out.But when Xie Huai's car passed by the gate of the community, the first time she saw the fountain, she could recall the scene of taking photos with her parents by the fountain when she first arrived in the imperial capital.

This generation is in the school district, and the occupancy rate is very high. Due to the age of the community, most of the houses are a bit old.Her home is a townhouse in a separate area behind the unit.The villa is two stories high and the area is not too big, but it has good greenery and high privacy.Each household has its own independent garden. Before they moved in, two apple trees were planted in the yard.After moving in, she planted a small apple tree under two big apple trees with her parents.

On the day of the accident, it was also because the apple tree in the yard was bearing fruit, and Huoqiuqiu was clamoring to eat it, so she secretly released him when his mother was still at home.

Today, there are more than three apple trees in this yard. Her mother who loves gardening has planted the garden of the villa into a farm orchard.Xie Huai pressed the doorbell and heard someone coming out to open the door.The little girl pulled the brim of her hat and hid behind Jun Zhizhi.

The dim light in the courtyard illuminated the woman who was getting closer and closer. Jiang Yuechan, who was nearly half a century old, still looked young. Her long hair had not turned white due to the years, and it was coiled loosely with a wooden hairpin.She is a very standard classical beauty, she only wears a little makeup, but she does not hide her noble demeanor, and her frowns and smiles are full of the tenderness and tenderness of women from Jiangnan water village.

Bao Le suddenly understood what Xie Huai said before, if her mother had lived until now, she would also be very curious about her current appearance.Maybe she has imagined this question countless times in her heart, but she can't think about it, but it's not worth meeting.

Jun Zhi noticed that the little girl who was standing behind him suddenly grabbed his sleeve and rested her forehead on his back.Even without turning his head, his excellent hearing made him realize that this silly girl was crying.Sure enough, she cried and wiped her tears on his clothes.

Of course Xie Huai noticed her gaffe, but he didn't express anything, he just stepped forward and stood in front of them.

Jiang Yuechan noticed Xie Huai, so she opened the door and led them in.She and Xie Huai knew each other, not only did they know each other, it could even be said that they knew each other."Xiao Huai, who are they?" Mother Jiang looked at Jun Zhi who was facing him, and turned to ask Xie Huai.

Xie Huai naturally reached out to take her arm, and Bao Le was surprised to find that his always cold mother did not reject him, and even put her hand on his arm proactively.Dr. Xie smiled and said, "Aunt Jiang, they are my colleagues."

Jiang Yuechan trusted Xie Huai wholeheartedly, and did not doubt him, so she naturally brought the conversation to the next topic: "Xiao Han just came, and now I am waiting for you in the living room with your Uncle Jiang.There are new clues in the case? You can tell me how you want us to cooperate. As long as the murderer can be caught, we can provide any details."

"Aunt Jiang, there is indeed hope of solving the Niannian case this time," Xie Huai reassured her, "But don't worry, we will do our best to find the murderer, you must trust us!"

"Of course we believe," Jiang Yuechan sighed, "There is no one in this world who cares more about Niannian's case than you."

Everyone walked to the door of the villa, which was locked with a code.When her mother entered the password, Bao Le discovered that the password for this door turned out to be her birthday."I won't go in yet." Jiang Yuechan opened the door and looked up at the sky. "It looks like it's going to rain. There are a few potted flowers in the yard. I'll take them to the garage."

Xie Huai was taken aback, and turned around to help her, but Jiang Yuechan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, implying that he rejected his help.

Although it was dark at that time, because the door was opened, the light from the entrance shone on them and the others.Jiang Yuechan brushed past Bao Le, and the guilty little girl didn't dare to look directly at her mother the whole time, but couldn't control herself, so she glanced quietly from the corner of her eye.She was wearing a mask, a hat, and even glasses that she had never worn, so she would not necessarily be recognized even under fluorescent lights.

But at that time, the light was dim, and when Jiang Yuechan passed by her, she only glanced at her hastily.For no reason, she suddenly felt that this little girl looked familiar.But she was eager to collect flowers at that time, Jiang's mother didn't think much about it, she turned her head and forgot about it.

...

"Oh, Xie You'an, why did you come here?" Seeing Xie Huai's arrival, Han Ziyang immediately stood up, and soon he also saw Jun Zhi who came in with Xie Huai, and Bao Le behind Jun Zhi.Baole covered her tightly. Although she couldn't tell what she looked like, Team Leader Han's IQ was normal, and he could figure out who she was after some reasoning.He gave Xie Huai a hard look, and his eyes were full of "You are crazy, you made decisions without reporting, be careful, I will tell Bureau Zhao".

Xie Huai blocked the unnecessary signals, and stretched out his hand to Jiang Heng: "Uncle Jiang, long time no see, how is your body?"

Papa Jiang is a typical intellectual, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, combing his hair meticulously, and giving him a bookish look.He pushed his glasses, and shook hands with Xie Huai: "It's not the same as usual. When you get older, you will inevitably be high. Don't be like your Aunt Jiang, nagging me all day, come and sit down."

Bao Le found an inconspicuous corner and listened to their conversation quietly.But this little girl is not as quiet as her face, she has been secretly looking at her father.He never wore glasses before, and he didn't have as much gray hair as he does now.But think about it, he is no longer the father in his memory, ten years between life and death, if he is still alive, he will indeed grow old like this.I will wear reading glasses because I can’t read the words on the newspaper; my black hair will gradually turn gray because of getting older; I will have wrinkles; I will have inconvenient legs and feet;

The little girl thought again, no, her father is only in his early fifties this year, why is he in the third grade!It must be because I don’t pay attention to diet and don’t like to exercise!Also, why are there so many cigarette butts in this ashtray, they are all three-high, I don’t know the quality of my body, and I don’t know how to cherish it!

This person is really, without her by his side, he can't take care of himself.

The little girl was so angry and impatient, she wished she could jump up and scold him on the spot.Fortunately, Xie Huai finally got to the point, which distracted part of her attention and made her hold back the thought.

Han Ziyang said: "Uncle, we are here today to ask about a car accident in 2006. Do you still remember that your daughter was only eight years old at that time, and it was written in the file that she was a witness to the car accident."

"Of course I remember," Jiang Heng hesitated, "Are you here to ask about this case? Is this case related to the case of being killed every year?"

"This is still under investigation." Team Leader Han replied ambiguously.

Jiang Heng saw Jiang Yuechan coming in after collecting the flowers, and waved to her.The couple, sitting side by side across from them, interlocked their fingers.

When Mother Jiang heard about their intentions, she was very surprised and said, "A car accident? Didn't it mean a murder? I remember when the police came to us and said that the girl who was hit was stabbed in the abdomen. And if it wasn't for the abdominal injuryShe lost a lot of blood and lost her balance. When the car hit her, she just hit her head, so she was not killed on the spot, and there was no time for rescue. The police did not say that after her wound healed, from the point of view of insertion, it must have been caused by someone else.Moreover, it is said that the shape of the murder weapon is quite strange, and I don’t remember the details.”

Han Ziyang was slightly taken aback: "Which police officer told you this, do you remember?"

"A police officer surnamed Guan," Jiang Yuechan said, "He was the one who was investigating this case at that time."

Jiang Heng nodded, his memory matched Jiang Yuechan's: "Our family just moved to Bei Jing that year, and we had promised to take Niannian out to play, but we had to give up because of temporary work. That girl was older than me.We had a quarrel and ran away in anger. Yuechan later found out that she had disappeared, but we were terrified. We searched for her all night. It was not until the next day that we heard that she had collapsed.In Zaoliu Hutong, he was sent to a nearby hospital by kind people. Later, the police came to the door and said that there was a car accident outside Zaoliu Hutong. Nienian might have been an eyewitness, but the child had a high fever during that time and could not explain anything.I don't know what happened to the case in the end, but when I was discharged from the hospital every year, it was said that the case had been closed."

Jiang Yuechan continued: "So you asked us about the details of that case, we really don't know much, I'm sorry."

After hearing what they said, Bao Le found it extremely strange.In her memory, she ran out that day, obviously because of the fireball.And she chased her mother out, not what they said at all, because she ran away from home because of a quarrel with her father.The little girl took out her mobile phone and sent her doubts to Xie Huai.

Xie Huai glanced at WeChat, then raised his head and said, "Aunt Jiang, after being discharged from the hospital every year, did you say anything to you?"

Jiang Heng was puzzled: "You mean?"

"It's related to the case," Xie Huai continued, "Also, according to your observations, is her memory complete? Has she ever experienced amnesia?"

Jiang's parents looked at each other, then shook their heads together.Jiang Yuechan said: "I don't know why you ask that, but Niannian should not have lost her memory, and she behaved normally when she was discharged from the hospital. But we didn't actually ask her about the car accident. On the one hand, we waited for her fever to subside.After waking up, the case has been closed. On the other hand, she was only eight years old at the time, and even if she did see something, we don't want to recall her bad memories."

"But there was one time," Mother Jiang said, "it was the gratitude party held every year after elementary school graduation, remember?"

Hearing her reminder, Papa Jiang remembered something, and tried to recall: "Yes, yes, I also remembered what you said. At the gratitude meeting, children usually thank their parents, or thank their teachers, but the youngNian said that she was grateful for a sister. But she is an only daughter and has no sisters, so we asked her which sister she was, and she said she met someone when she first arrived in Bei Jing four years ago. We didn’t ask in detail afterwards, I don’t knowDoes this matter have anything to do with that case?"

Xie Huai thinks this is a breakthrough. Although there are few clues, if we dig deeper, we should be able to dig out something.After thinking about it, the phone vibrated again. Dr. Xie picked up the phone calmly and glanced at it, then his face darkened.Dr. Xie, who had been struggling with how to speak, pondered for a long time before he said, "Aunt Jiang, Uncle Jiang, have you heard of Fire Ball...or Feng Yin?"

The elder of the Jiang family shook his head, puzzled and said: "Which phoenix and Yin characters, why don't you write it down and let us see?"

Xie Huai glanced at Bao Le in the corner, then smiled at them and said, "It's okay, I can ask casually."

The little girl was very surprised by their answers. Based on her understanding of her parents, they really had never heard of Feng Yin before asking such a question.Could it be that just like Xie Huai and Shen Wangyan in the Mirror Realm have no divine powers, neither can she and her father summon Bi Fang in the Mirror Realm?It seems reasonable to think about it this way, but the sixth sense that belongs to a woman tells her that this superficial rationality is tricky!

As if to confirm her words, an old man walked down from the second floor.

Seeing the hunched figure of the man, Bao Le felt his eyes filled with tears again, and called out in a voice so soft that only Jun Zhi could hear: "Grandma!"

Grandma heard the conversation between them, and interjected: "Feng Yin, that is the legendary divine bird, and it is the servant of the Vulcan god, Bi Fang, don't be disrespectful to him!"

"Mom," Papa Jiang quickly stood up, "Why did you get down?"

"Oh, I'm hungry. Come down and see if there is anything to eat. Yuechan, do you still have the apple pie you made tonight?" Although the old man is old, he is still very energetic, with good legs and feet, good teeth, and an oven.Hard-crust apple pie baked in it is edible.

Jiang Yuechan pressed Jiang Heng's shoulder, signaling him to greet the guests, then stood up with a smile, and helped Grandma Jiang to the kitchen.

Bao Le speculates from their conversation that in Mirror Realm, her grandma may know something about the family, but her parents probably don't really know.So she leaned close to Jun Zhi's ear and whispered, "The Twelve Chapters of Yin and Yang."

Jun Zhi nodded, and asked Jiang Heng: "Excuse me, do you know the book "The Twelve Chapters of Yin and Yang"?"

Xie Huai was taken aback for a moment, he thought that all the questions that Bao Le wanted to ask would be conveyed through him, so he expressed his shock at the sudden question raised by the Shen family.What made him even more unexpected was that Jiang Heng really answered.

"I know," Jiang Heng said, "a lot of people come to the funeral every year, and this book was given by... a distant relative named Bai at that time. But we don't know what he gave the book to us, and it saysIf he hadn't read the title, we wouldn't even know the book was called "The Twelve Chapters of Yin and Yang". Later, when he returned to his hometown, Yuechan left the book with Niannian's belongings.In the old house, how did you know about this book?"

Jun Zhi didn't answer his question, but Xie Huai sneered after hearing what he said, and then Bao Le's phone vibrated.The little girl glanced at the "?" on the phone, her eyelids twitched, but she still calmly patted Jun Zhi on the shoulder, and then stood up.Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Heng and Xie Huai, he slipped to the kitchen very naturally.

After all, she has also lived in this house for a few days, so she still knows the structure of the villa very well.
