Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Discovery
Pang Si and Ge Shan pondered over it and indeed dug up some things about Nie He's early years.
According to their recollections, Nie He's mother used to be a dancer. By chance, she had a relationship with Nie He's father. However, Nie He's father was already married at the time and looked down upon Nie He's mother's identity as a dancer. Therefore, after Nie He was born, Nie He's mother's financial situation did not improve. Instead, she maintained a barely starving state and Nie He did not receive any special treatment.
Pang Si said, "Because Nie He's father didn't want to acknowledge him, Nie He was beaten and scolded by his mother since he was a child. His mother always blamed Nie He for being useless. You don't know that when Nie He was a child, he squinted at people and was particularly prone to being beaten. Later, after hanging out with us more often, he finally got rid of this bad habit."
In the interrogation room separated by a wall, Ge Shan also remembered something.
"Nie He had a very bad relationship with his mother. His father didn't give his mother money, so his mother had no choice but to go out and start a new business. Because of this, people always mocked Nie He, and Nie He often got into fights with others..."
Xu An listened to him talking nonsense for a long time, then picked up the key points and asked, "When did Nie He know Nie Guangwen?"
Speaking of this, Ge Shan's eyes lit up.
Ge Shan: "That young master!"
He slapped his thigh and whispered to Xu An, "Hey, you don't know this, right? It was the young master who came to find Nie He himself!"
Xu An didn't believe it: "Will Nie Guangwen go to find Nie He?"
Ge Shan: "That's right, otherwise how can people like us meet such a young master! He goes to western restaurants, racetracks, golf courses and five-star hotels, while we can only go to a billiard room at best. There is a huge difference between their lives. We have no chance even if we want to meet him."
Xu An saw the indignation on his face and saw that he was speaking the truth with such sincerity.
Then he didn't understand why Nie Guangwen went to find Nie He.
Xu An: "Nie Guangwen often meets with Nie He?"
Ge Shan: "I met him a few times, but then we had a falling out for some reason and he never came again. If you don't want to come, then don't come. At least give me some money to spend. If you don't even give me money, it's like we're not born from the same mother and have no feelings for each other."
Xu An: "Why did Nie Guangwen come to see Nie He?"
Ge Shan was depressed: "How can I know what this young master is thinking? Damn it, why don't I have a rich brother? If I had a rich brother, I would make sure he would make people happy. Nie He is a loser, he can't even make a young master happy..."

In another interrogation room, Pei Qing began to inquire about Nie He's social relationships.
"Are you familiar with all of Nie He's friends?"
Pang Si: "We used to hang out together, I know him well, but after he went back to the Nie family, he became the boss and no longer recognized us brothers. I don't know if he got to know other people after he came to the Nie family."
Pei Qing held the pen and stared at Pang Si.
Pang seemed to be confused by her gaze.
"What? I've said everything I need to say, why are you looking at me like that?"
Pei Qing: "Now it's you who is to explain, not me. Do you want me to ask you a question and you to answer it? Think about it carefully. Has Nie He encountered any problems? Who did he fight with? Who did he have a very deep conflict with? Think about it carefully. If you can't remember, then we will have to let Nie He go at a certain time. By then, you will be in prison while Nie He will be free outside. Don't hate him in your heart. You can only blame yourselves for not living up to your expectations. You didn't use the opportunities we gave you."
Pang Si's eyes turned red with anger after hearing this.
Yang Xingping knocked on the table.
"Think about it carefully."
Pang seemed to have fallen into silence.
If he was to say he hated her, he really hated her. Why did Nie He become so rich now? When they were kids, they all wore ragged clothes and smoked cigarettes together.
What about now? Nie He is wearing gold and silver, and he will soon wear silver handcuffs!
Pei Qing saw him lowering his head and thinking about something. It seemed that he couldn't remember anything for the time being. The interrogation room was stuffy, so Pei Qing planned to go out for some fresh air.

Pei Qing and the other two returned to the office and exchanged information.
Pei Qing was very surprised to hear Xu An say that Nie Guangwen had once taken the initiative to look for Nie He.
"Why did Nie Guangwen look for Nie He? Logically speaking, a legitimate child should dislike an illegitimate child, right?"
Xu An: "Who knows what Nie Guangwen is thinking? Let's talk to Nie Guangzhen later. What kind of personality does his brother have? What kind of brain circuit would make him want to meet his illegitimate brother?"
Pei Qing guessed: "Could it be out of curiosity?"
Yang Xingping said: "This is not curiosity, this is called having a hole in your brain."
He spoke as bluntly as ever.
Pei Qing found Nie Guangzhen in the lounge next door.
Nie Guangzhen had not left yet, and she was very anxious, just hoping to find her brother as soon as possible.
Pei Qing briefly explained the matter to her.
Nie Guangzhen rubbed his face, which was dry from crying for a while.
"impossible!"
She said firmly: "Why would my brother go to find Nie He?"
Pei Qing stroked her back. The warmth of her palms made Nie Guangzhen's stiff back relax.
Pei Qing: "Think about it carefully, this matter is very important. Your brother went to find Nie He, this matter is very likely true."
Nie Guangzhen racked her brains but couldn't figure out why her brother went to see Nie He.
She felt a little depressed and took out her cell phone from her bag.
"I'll ask my brother's friends."
Pei Qing gave her some space and asked her to call her contacts.

Pei Qing returned to the office.
She slumped in her chair, feeling extremely tired.
Pei Qing: “It’s difficult!”
Xu An is looking through the missing persons records.
"Get up, don't lie there, get to work!"
Pei Qing: "Take a break. I haven't slept well these past few days."
Xu An said nothing more.
Pei Qing moved his chair to Xu An's side and looked at the missing persons record in front of him together.
“This is too much…”
Xu An: "The population mobility in our city is too high."
He thought about it and decided to continue to follow up on the currently stalled case based on the findings so far.
"Nie Guangwen and Nie He have met several times. Something must have happened in between that caused the two to fall out. Nie He is not saying anything now. Nie Guangwen is missing. It all depends on whether Nie Guangzhen can find out about this. It happened many years ago, so it's uncertain."
"Besides that, there's the relationship between Lana and Nie He."
Xu An put the photos of the two together.
"When did these two people know each other? They couldn't have just bumped into each other on the street and said hello, right?"
Yang Xingping understood what he meant: "Has Nie He seen Lana commit a crime?"
Pei Qing's eyes lit up: "Very likely."
Xu An pondered: "Nie He wanted Lana to agree to kidnap Nie Guangwen. At least they had trusted each other for a period of time and were not afraid that the other party would turn against them and call the police. Where did this trust come from?"
He stared at the missing persons records and flipped through them again.
"Check whether anyone around Nie is missing or dead before Nie Guangwen disappeared."
Pei Qing: "I'll go find Pang Si and Ge Shan and ask them to make a list."
Yang Xingping: "I'll go too."
The three of them divided the work and worked together, and soon Pang Si and Ge Shan wrote down several names.
Before Nie He returned home, these people could not be contacted for various reasons.
After doing a lot of investigation work, we excluded those who returned to their hometowns, went to other places or went abroad to work, and those who were married and settled down, and those who were always in police custody every now and then. Only two men and one woman were left.
And they were not on the missing persons record that Xu An obtained.
This is actually not surprising. Even if these migrant workers once had good friends, these friends all have some troubles, either fighting or stealing. They generally don’t like to see the police, so it is even less likely that they will report their disappearance.
So why did these two men and one woman who could not be contacted disappear?
Pang Si and Ge Shan provided several old photos. Among the blurred faces of a group of people in the photos, there were two missing men and one woman.
The women are young and beautiful, with eyes that seem to have a pool of spring water, while the men have broad shoulders and backs, and strong arms.
Why did they disappear?
