Rebirth
Rumble——
It rained at the end of August.
There were lightning and thunder outside the window, and a young man was sitting alone in a corner of the sofa inside the house.
The mailbox that had been vacant for many years received the first text message that revealed the truth. The screen, which had not yet been completely turned off, shone dimly on the boy's face, making it obscure and unclear.
Eight hours ago.
Chen An came back from the Municipal Bureau and bought some groceries. The Serious Crime Squad had nothing to do during this period, so he went home more and more frequently and earlier and earlier. When he pushed the door open, he happened to catch Jiang Li eating ice cream again.
"Uh..." The packaging bag had been torn open. Jiang Li stood there in a daze, and after a moment of pale explanation, he said, "Do you believe me when I say this is the first one today?"
Jiang Li loves eating ice cream. If Chen An remembers correctly, this kid once ate up to six pieces a day, including two popsicles, two popsicles, and two boxes of ice cream. At first glance, it seemed quite balanced, but he had diarrhea the next day after eating them. After that, Chen An banned him from eating more than one piece a day.
Chen An didn't say anything, but looked at him with a smile.
Jiang Li took the initiative to show weakness, with a hint of coquettishness in his words, "Really, really, I just woke up~"
Chen An walked past him and put the dishes into the kitchen, tacitly approving the popsicle, and then Jiang Li ran out happily.
Jiang Li sat lazily on the sofa, trying to continue looking for the variety show he watched yesterday. After searching for a while, he accidentally clicked on the news channel. In the video, reporters swarmed up and asked sharp questions to an elderly man in his sixties.
"When you trafficked so many children, did you ever consider what would happen to their families?"
"What do you have to say about this verdict?"
The camera panned to the channel host, standing outside the crowd, explaining, "At 10 a.m. this morning, the court read out the verdict against human trafficking ringleader Fan Wenqing. He received a death sentence with a one-year reprieve. I wonder if this result can comfort the families of the abducted victims."
"In addition, the list of people abducted according to Fan Wenqing's own account has also been published, hoping to help the abducted children return to their families."
Jiang Li caught a name in the list that was more than three minutes long - Su Jinxian!
The scene switched to the parents of the abducted children. They had white hair, haggard faces, tears on their cheeks, and expressed hatred for Fan Wenqing. Police officers stood by to stop the indignant family members.
"Fan Wenqing, go to hell!"
Someone threw shoes at the prisoner.
"What's the point of him dying? I can't find my daughter!"
The woman with silver hair sat on the ground crying.
The parents at the scene were all holding signs of varying sizes, which were filled with the identity information of the abducted children. These were all parents who continued to search in despair, for ten or twenty years, from their youth to their old age.
"Fan Wenqing, you will die a miserable death!"
Someone fainted, and soon the sound of an ambulance appeared on the screen.
Jiang Li stared at the screen motionlessly, unaware of the melting popsicle and the sugar dripping onto his clothes.
The kitchen was not far from the living room. Chen An suddenly remembered that Fan Wenqing's sentencing meeting would be on TV today. He put down the kitchen utensils and walked out, just in time to see Jiang Li's stunned look, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Jiang Li?"
"...Ah?" Jiang Li came back to his senses, his expression a little bewildered. After a moment, he quickly reacted and forced a smile, "I was watching the news. Was this person also arrested by the Municipal Bureau?"
Chen An took a tissue to wipe his hands and glanced at the screen. The replayed news showed the list again. Fortunately, Fan Wenqing didn't know that Su Jinyou was Jiang Qiuyi. Even if Jiang Li saw it, he wouldn't know what the name had to do with his mother.
Chen An was much calmer when answering him.
"Yes, it was run by Team Two."
Jiang Li also suppressed all his emotions and curled his lips, "He has kidnapped and trafficked so many people. The death penalty is too easy for him."
Chen An seemed to be sure that there was nothing wrong with Jiang Li, so he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the kitchen.
He couldn't have known that the moment he turned around, Jiang Li's expression became gloomy.
After Chen An left home in the afternoon, Jiang Li called Jin Mao and He Dou.
"Boss, what are your instructions?"
Jin Mao and He Dou also followed them out of hiding, and stayed in Qiu Shui Township unless they had any missions.
"You two go back to headquarters and get me some information."
On the other end of the phone, the two looked at each other, "What information?"
"Information about my mother, Su Jinxian."
Jiang Li spoke in a low voice and seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Okay, we'll go back tonight."
"Don't let anyone else find out. Besides that, investigate the human trafficker Fan Wenqing, and..."
Jiang Li had investigated the Su sisters a long time ago. In addition to their mother Su Jinxian, he also investigated Su Jinyou, but he didn't know much information. He only knew that she was sold to the floating island and died on the floating island.
Recalling his experiences over the past four years, he began to doubt whether the woman was really dead.
"what else?"
Jiang Li took a deep breath, "Su Jinyou, find out whether this woman survived."
From day to night, from clear skies to thunder and lightning, Jiang Li just sat there waiting for eight hours.
During these eight hours, the speculation became closer and closer to reality until the email arrived.
"Boss, you guessed right, Su Jinyou is not dead. After the Qian family fell, we retrieved the list and found that Su Jinyou changed his face and name and left the island!"
Jiang Li held the phone, his fingers clenched tightly, his voice a little hoarse, "What's her name?"
"Jiang, Qiu, Yi."
The thunder confirmed his decision, and all his guesses came true!
Jiang Li's expression turned sad, and his laughter shook from his chest, sounding clearly bitter in his ears.
It turns out that Jiang Li is Su Jinyou's son, and he and Jiang Li are brothers!
What a dramatic scene!
"Boss..."
Jin Mao and He Dou were still on their way back to Qiu Shui Township. They were also shocked by the news. They thought they had just picked up a boy's body in the woods, but they didn't expect that this boy really had such a deep relationship with their boss.
I heard a busy tone and the person on the other end hung up the phone.
The thunder seemed to cooperate with him, playing music for the panic and regret in his heart.
That’s right, he is not Jiang Li.
The real Jiang Li died four years ago and his body was abandoned in the wilderness!
At that time, he had just turned fifteen and took the initiative to take the task of approaching the police. That was his first taste of freedom.
He brought Jin Mao and He Dou out of the headquarters, crossed the jungle, and found Jiang Li's ID card and his body in the woods.
It was also summer, and He Dou stood straight, holding an umbrella for him from behind. "Boss, this guy is skinny, but his face does look a bit like you. It's like searching for something you've never found before, but it's finally found without any effort."
He needed to find an identity to receive education, and they did not expect to meet Jiang Li. At that time, Jiang Li's father had just passed away, and this young man with nothing was his best "shell".
He took Jiang Li's ID card, used Jiang Li's name, lived in the house where Jiang Li had lived, and went to the school where Jiang Li had gone to.
He changed Jiang Li's life, but he never even looked at the tragically dead boy. He didn't delve into why the boy looked so similar to him, nor did he delve into where his aunt Su Jinyou went after being abducted. To this day, he just enjoys the freedom he pursued and the ordinary life he pursued. He didn't even have the idea of revenge for Jiang Li. They just dug a hole for him, and then Jiang Li lay in it forever.
He was very talented and suitable for studying. In his first year of college entrance examination, he thought he could break free from the control of the Presbyterian Church, so he applied to the school he liked and studied the major he wanted to learn.
But he was discovered, suppressed, and forced to give up Huaqing. Their existence reminded him again and again that it was impossible for him to return to a normal life, and that he was born to serve those dark, dirty, and filthy people.
He must enter the police academy as planned and infiltrate the police force.
If it weren't for today's report, perhaps he would never know the truth.
None of the abducted Su sisters had a good ending. Su Jinxian committed suicide after being forced to give birth to him. Su Jinyou wandered around and lost her memory on the island. She thought she was escaping from the abyss when she got married, but she didn't expect that Jiang Haojing was another abyss. It is hard to say who is more miserable between him and Jiang Li.
The information in the email was very detailed, but he wished he was illiterate and couldn't read the words at this moment.
Nan Jiaxu said since he was a child that he was a person who would never cry. He never shed a tear even when he fell, got hurt, bled, or even rolled in the mud. If he counted carefully, it seemed that he had never shed tears in front of anyone except Chen An.
But at this moment, his eyes were hot and his nose was sore. Before he could figure out why he was crying, a tear fell silently on the screen, and the lightning outside the window reflected his tearful face.
Fate, what a joke!
