Chapter 391 Three-point Image
Qin Beihai's words stunned Zhou Yi.
Under the dim light above my head, a few small moths were circling continuously.
On the chessboard, Zhou Yi's general was cut off from survival by the opponent's chess pieces.
"Qin...Old Qin, I've been reported anonymously?"
Qin Beihai nodded.
"What is the content of the report?" Zhou Yi asked quickly.
"I don't know about that. I just made some inquiries after you called me this morning."
Zhou Yi's brain was spinning rapidly. Old Qin was talking about "anonymous reporting", so he naturally wouldn't ask such a stupid question as who reported it.
But the so-called anonymous reporting actually has its tricks. How to report, to which department to report, and how to be truly anonymous rather than fake anonymity that can be detected by others all require skills.
To put it bluntly, if ordinary people want to make an anonymous report, they can't even find the door.
Therefore, this person was able to report anonymously and successfully, so he must not be an ordinary person.
As for the content of the report, it was most likely about the relationship between himself and Lu Xiaoshuang. In order to avoid suspicion, he would definitely not be on the list of task force members.
After Zhou Yisi thought about it, he realized that he had never done anything against rules or disciplines. At most, he went to Qian Hongxing's villa with his family to have a meal, which was not a mistake.
That was a very serious problem. Whether it was the previous suspicion that Lu Xiaoshuang was the victim, or the later discovery of the missing Lu Xiaoshuang, this information was only circulated within the Hongcheng City Bureau.
And the fact that he and Lu Xiaoshuang interacted frequently was known to very few people.
Could it be that the person who reported me anonymously is from the Municipal Bureau?
Or is it that the murderer is so powerful that he predicted everything and kicked himself out of the task force with an anonymous letter of complaint?
But why must it target myself?
What is so special about me that I deserve to be targeted?
Suddenly, an idea that had never occurred to Zhou Yi popped up in his mind. This idea sounded like a fairy tale, but it did have a certain possibility.
What if the murderer of the grand case was also reborn?
Does that mean that all the differences in the timing and methods of committing crimes from the previous life can be explained?
Even the anonymous report against himself could be explained.
And when you think about Lu Xiaoshuang's inexplicable disappearance and how she inexplicably became a criminal suspect, it's even more terrifying.
The reborn murderer, through clever planning and design, turned the victim of the previous life into the murderer of this life!
What kind of extremely psychologically twisted and perverted murderer could do such a thing!
Zhou Yi hoped that this was just his own fantasy. If there really was a perverted murderer who was also reborn, then he couldn't be sure whether he could change his fate.
"Mr. Qin, do you know whether this anonymous report was made to the provincial or municipal government?"
Qin Beihai answered with two words: "In the city."
Zhou Yi looked down at the chessboard, silent.
Qin Beihai said slowly, "Zhou Yi, why are you so obsessed with this case? Did my suggestion to you last time make you a little too extreme in your understanding?"
The last time Qin Beihai met Zhou Yi was because of the dismemberment case in Donghai Community. He gave him advice to continue his academic studies, which made Zhou Yi suddenly enlightened.
Zhou Yi shook his head. "Mr. Qin, I'm not trying to win credit. I've carefully considered the suggestion you made to me before, and I completely agree with it. Your words have indeed helped me resolve some of my problems. But in the two months since I was transferred from the police station, I've been working non-stop on these cases, and it's never been for credit. I simply want to find the truth for those who died."
Zhou Yi looked up and said seriously: "I just want to do my best to prevent the truth from being silenced by time."
Qin Beihai looked at him with complicated eyes, while Zhou Yi's eyes were extremely firm.
He was sure that he would solve this huge case, both for public and private reasons!
If you really can't join the task force, then wait until the task force is disbanded and the case is returned to the Hongcheng City Bureau for investigation.
If unfortunately, Lu Xiaoshuang is really prosecuted as a murderer, I will find the best lawyer to help her appeal.
It's a big case, he will fight the murderer to the death at all costs!
After a long moment, Qin Beihai's eyelids drooped, he leaned back and said, "I can recommend you to join the task force."
Zhou Yi was overjoyed.
But Qin Beihai added, "The prerequisite is that you first resolve the issue of anonymous reporting."
Zhou Yi understood what Old Qin said. No matter how high Qin Beihai's reputation was, he was only a forensic doctor and could only recommend himself within the public security system.
But the anonymous report was obviously not limited to the public security department, and resolving the report problem was equivalent to proving his innocence to Qin Beihai.
Zhou Yi immediately stood up, bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin!"
"Come and sit down, there's no need to do this." Qin Beihai said with a smile.
Zhou Yi sat down again and his eyes fell on the chessboard.
He suddenly realized that his situation as a checkmate was not actually a dead end.
He grabbed a chess piece and moved it into position.
Although his rook would be captured by the opponent, by sacrificing the rook, he not only saved the king but also revitalized the following pieces.
Qin Beihai looked at his move and smiled with satisfaction.
At the end of the game, Zhou Yi and Qin Beihai each went back to collect their chess pieces.
Zhou Yi asked a question, which was also the question he wanted to verify.
"Master Qin, honestly, you and your wife have been so kind to me. I really don't know what I have done to deserve your regard for me. Can I ask why?"
Qin Beihai didn't seem surprised by Zhou Yi's question. He said, "Wait a moment," then got up and left.
A moment later, Qin Beihai took a photo frame and sat back opposite, then handed the photo frame to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi took it and looked at it in confusion. The photo frame was very clean and the glass was spotless. It was obvious that it was wiped frequently.
The photo is black and white, a bit old, and the pixels are a bit blurry. It is a solo photo of a tall and strong young man, and his facial features can be seen.
"This is my son, Qin Feng." Qin Beihai said.
Zhou Yi was stunned. Qin Feng in the photo looked very young, probably in his early twenties.
Could it be that...
"This is a photo taken when he was twenty-one years old. It is also his last photo. When he passed away, he was the same age as you are now, twenty-three years old." Qin Beihai said calmly.
These words made Zhou Yi feel sad. According to Qin Beihai's age, if his son died at the age of 23, it must have been more than ten years ago.
Losing a son in old age is undoubtedly one of the greatest tragedies in life. It is hard for Zhou Yi to imagine how these two old people managed to survive.
"Mr. Qin, please accept my condolences."
"Do you think you and Xiaofeng look a bit alike?"
Qin Beihai's words surprised Zhou Yi very much. He looked down at the photo in his hand.
Qin Feng in the photo is indeed about the same height and physique as me, and is more energetic than me.
But in terms of facial features, Zhou Yi himself felt that they were only 30% similar at most.
Not even close to being similar.
However, this finally made him understand why Qin Beihai and his wife were so enthusiastic towards him. It turned out that they felt that he was very similar to their deceased son, and placed their longing for their son on him.
Maybe this is fate.
In his previous life, he met Qin Beihai, who was in his seventies, once because of a case. But at that time, he was already a middle-aged man in his late thirties. He had long lost the youthful vigor and naturally could not make Qin Beihai feel like his son.
After all, Qin Feng's life ended at the age of twenty-three.
"Mr. Qin...how did your son leave?" Zhou Yi asked in a trembling voice.
Qin Beihai raised his head, looked out the window at the dark night and said calmly: "He died in the line of duty. He was just like you, working in a grassroots police station, struggling hard. That night, ah..."
Then, Qin Beihai told Zhou Yi the story about his son Qin Feng.
This story is filled with regrets that the two old men cannot let go of in their lives.
Qin Feng is the second child of Qin Beihai and his wife. He has a tragic fate. Their first child is a girl who unfortunately died of illness at the age of five, which dealt a huge blow to the couple.
Both of them were intellectuals, sentimental, especially his wife, who worked in the cultural field. She developed a psychological barrier over her daughter's early death, and it wasn't until they were in their thirties that they overcame the psychological barrier and gave birth to a son, Qin Feng.
Logically speaking, Qin Feng, as the couple's only son, who was born in his old age, should be spoiled to the extreme.
But since both of them are intellectuals and government officials, they are also independent and accomplished people in their respective fields.
Naturally, they also placed high hopes on this son, hoping that Qin Feng would surpass his father from an early age.
But unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Qin Feng has been a clumsy child since childhood, and his performance in all aspects can be said to be mediocre.
This made the couple very distressed, especially after going to school, Qin Feng was not as good as his parents in studying, and was always at a below-average level.
The two of them were very worried about this matter, because Qin Beihai's plan for his son was to enter a top medical school for further studies, and then work under him. He would teach his son everything he had learned throughout his life, and in the future, Qin Feng would inherit his mantle and continue to contribute to my country's forensic cause.
But the fact is, he beat him, scolded him, and even used his connections to find a famous teacher to tutor him.
But unfortunately, Qin Feng is just an ordinary person without any amazing talents.
He is just an ordinary person like everyone else.
So all the expectations slowly turned into disappointment.
The look in the parents' eyes when they looked at their son was no longer full of enthusiasm, and the relationship between the two generations gradually became subtle.
In addition, both of them were busy with work, and for a long time the couple even stopped asking about their son's situation, letting him do whatever he wanted and no longer caring about him.
Until one day, while having dinner, Qin Feng told his parents that he had been admitted to a technical secondary police academy.
