One of them was a woman in her forties, wearing a dark green long coat and lambskin shoes. Even though she looked a bit old, one could still vaguely see the beauty of her youth.
Following beside her was a young man in military uniform.
When they saw the man, all the police officers were shocked.
Because at first glance, the man looked somewhat similar to Liang Jinheng.
But if you look more closely, you can see that this man is much younger than Liang Jinheng. He is thinner than him and his eyes are not as deep.
However, thinking about what Doudou had said before, insisting that Liang Jinheng was his uncle, the police officers would no longer dare to say that Doudou was lying.
Because his uncle really looks a lot like Liang Jinheng.
"Hello, I'm Mu Junhui's parent. Oh, Mu Junhui is Mu Doudou. I wonder if he's here."
The young man looked at the group of police officers in front of him and saw that they didn't say anything, so he had to speak up himself.
His voice broke the silence, and everyone quickly came to their senses and brought the two people into the house.
After entering, they explained Doudou's situation to the two men and the general process of finding the human traffickers.
Mu Qingsong and Mu Lanzhi were extremely angry after hearing these words, especially when they thought about how Doudou had been taken around by that group of human traffickers and suffered so much!
"Comrade, where is my nephew now? Can we go find him first?"
"Of course you can, but because of a sudden incident, Doudou isn't with our bureau right now. He's with another comrade. Don't worry, he's a veteran and very reliable. It was his help that allowed us to apprehend these human traffickers. It won't be a problem leaving Doudou with him."
As he spoke, the police officer's tone suddenly became hesitant.
He glanced at Mu Qingsong and continued, "Besides, it was actually Doudou who insisted on living with that comrade, saying that the comrade was his uncle and would cry if we didn't let him go. We had no choice but to send him there."
Mulanzhi and Mu Qingsong certainly had no objection to this. On the contrary, they couldn't wait to thank that comrade.
Mu Qingsong didn't think much about it. He just thought that Doudou was unreliable and had recognized the wrong person. He was so angry that he laughed.
"This brat can even admit his uncle's mistake. I'll give him a good beating later! Comrades, please help me lead the way. I'll go and bring him back."
After that, he said to Mulanzhi, "Mom, just wait here for me. I'll go and bring the little fat boy back. We're unfamiliar with this place, so don't follow me around blindly."
Mulanzhi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
Since the Mu family has made such arrangements, they won’t say anything.
Soon, the police chief arranged for a young police officer to take Mu Qingsong to Liang Jinheng's home in Xishui Brigade.
As for Mulanzhi, she was arranged to sit aside and wait.
After settling Mulanzhi down, several police officers went together to deal with the speculation and profiteering of Dongzi and the old man in black.
"Brother, comrades from the Public Security Bureau, I really didn't do anything wrong. This, this, this, I, I, I just wanted to show it to him, I didn't want to do anything else!" Dongzi saw them coming and quickly begged for mercy.
He was not stupid and knew that if he really admitted this, he would be in trouble.
As for the old man in black, upon hearing Dongzi's words, he quickly nodded in agreement: "Right, right, comrade, we really didn't do anything. How dare we do business in broad daylight!"
"Don't talk nonsense to me, both of you. We witnessed your transaction process with our own eyes. Is this true?"
At first, Mulanzhi just watched from the side, curious about what the two of them were trading.
As a result, when he glanced over, he saw a jade pendant placed in the center of the table.
and--!
Why does that jade pendant look so familiar?
It was just like the ancestral jade pendant of their Mu family!
Mulanzhi widened her eyes in disbelief. She no longer cared about anything else and quickly stood up and walked to the big table, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.
The more she looked, the more shocked she became.
This jade pendant obviously belongs to their Mu family!
Because there are obvious carving marks on the back of the jade pendant, you can feel it by touching it with your hand, and it is the word "Mu".
"How come this jade pendant is here?"
Mulanzhi looked surprised.
She remembered this jade pendant. Hadn't she lost it when she was fleeing? Could it be that someone here had found it?
Mulanzhi looked at Dongzi. She remembered that it was this person who asked her to take out the jade pendant and show it to the other party, so the jade pendant should belong to him now.
"Hello comrade, where did you find this jade pendant?"
Mulanzhi asked him anxiously.
Dongzi was stunned, frowning at Mulanzhi and asking her unhappily, "Who are you? What are you doing with my jade pendant? Put it down!"
"Public Security, please take care of her! Is this person trying to snatch my jade pendant right in front of me?"
The public security comrades nearby also looked at Mulanzhi in confusion.
"Comrade Mu, this jade pendant belongs to him. Please put it down first."
Who knew that when Mulanzhi heard this, she shook her head and said in a firm tone: "This jade pendant is mine!"
Dongzi was dumbfounded, then cursed angrily.
"Hey, old woman, what's wrong with you? You just picked up the jade pendant from the table and it became yours. Do you have any shame?"
"Stop making noise!" the police officer scolded, then looked at Mulanzhi with a serious expression.
They just thought that Mulanzhi was a well-educated and cultured person, but her actions at this moment were really incomprehensible to them, and even shocked them.
They had no choice but to seriously warn Mulanzhi.
"Comrade Mu, please put down this jade pendant."
Mulanzhi shook her head anxiously and explained again: "This jade pendant is really mine. It's a jade pendant passed down from our Mu family. If you don't believe me, look, there's a carved word 'Mu' on the back!"
Mulanzhi pointed to the word "Mu" on the back, which required careful touch to feel out, and showed it to several police officers.
When several police officers saw this, they immediately thought that this matter was becoming strange.
There is indeed the word "Mu" on this jade pendant, and Mulanzhi's surname is also Mu.
But they did take this jade pendant from Dongzi.
What is going on?
"Comrade Mu, when was the last time you saw this jade pendant?"
Mulanzhi paused when she heard this, then frowned and fell into memories, but after a while, she suddenly covered her head with a look of pain.
"Hey, Comrade Mu, are you okay?"
A female police officer nearby quickly supported her.
Mulanzhi slowed down, then shook her head with a lost tone.
"I, I'm sorry, I can't remember..."
About twenty years ago, she suffered from amnesia.
At that time, the society was in turmoil and the Mu family was also implicated. She only remembered that she was taken away by her lover Mu Pingjiang and then went to settle down in a neighboring province.
As for the days in between, she always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something, but Mu Pingjiang said that she remembered it wrongly. She had been by his side since the incident in the Mu family, and the two had never been separated.
Mu Pingjiang is an orphan sponsored by her father. He grew up with Mulanzhi since childhood, and the two can be said to be childhood sweethearts.
However, later when the war broke out, Mu Pingjiang joined the army without hesitation and fought to defend the motherland, and the two of them separated.
What followed was a series of chaos and turmoil. It was not until something happened to the Mu family and her father died that she met Mu Pingjiang again.
As for how she got through those turbulent days, Mulanzhi could never remember.
Even the news of her father's death was told to her by Mu Pingjiang, and she only had a vague impression of it.
She knew that she must have lost some memory, but unfortunately Mu Pingjiang said that she was normal and that some things might not be important so she couldn't remember them, not that she had lost her memory.
She also tried hard to recall those days, but unfortunately she could only vaguely remember that she had stayed in a certain town. The more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
It was precisely because of this that Mu Pingjiang never allowed her to come here by herself, and told her that this place would only bring her pain.
She couldn't remember where she lost the jade pendant, she only remembered that it disappeared during a period she couldn't remember clearly.
Because she later asked Mu Pingjiang, and he also said that the jade pendant might have been lost in that town. It was normal because it was too chaotic at the time and was accidentally lost.
After hearing this, Mulanzhi was sad for a long time, but at least she survived at that time, and losing the jade pendant was really a helpless act.
But now the jade pendant appeared in front of her again, and she was shocked and excited at the same time.
Maybe this is God's will.
Before, Mu Pingjiang was worried about her health and didn't allow her to come here to look for her memories, but now she had to come because of Doudou. First, Doudou was safe and sound, and then she found the jade pendant of their Mu family.
It seems that this place is not as dangerous as Mu Pingjiang said.
"I'm sorry, comrade. I can't remember where I lost the jade pendant, but I can be sure that this is the jade pendant of our Mu family." Mulanzhi came back to her senses, looked at the public security comrade with a firm expression, and then looked at Dongzi.
She frowned, said sorry in her heart, and then spoke.
"This jade pendant is of excellent quality, and this young comrade's family doesn't seem to be able to afford such a jade pendant. Furthermore, the word 'Mu' on the back of it suggests that this jade pendant isn't a family heirloom."
"I'd also like to ask this young comrade, where did you get this jade pendant?"
Dongzi blushed and said angrily with his neck stiffened.
"Don't look down on me! Who says I'm really poor just because I'm poorly dressed? I've been wearing this jade pendant since I was born!"
Wearing it since birth?
Mulanzhi thought for a moment, looked at Dongzi's face carefully, and then felt relieved.
"You look no more than twenty years old, and I lost my jade pendant about twenty years ago, which is a perfect match. Is it possible that your parents found my jade pendant and gave it to you?"
Dongzi was simply stunned by Mulanzhi's imagination.
She can pick up on whatever this old lady says, and she can make it sound plausible!
"Bah! Stop talking nonsense here! If you say this jade pendant is yours, what proof do you have besides the word 'Mu'? And I also said that the lotus on the front of this jade pendant is our family's ancestral emblem!"
Dongzi stiffened his neck and fought against Mulanzhi.
However, after hearing this, Mulanzhi suddenly laughed and shook her head, saying, "Little comrade, it seems that this jade pendant is really not yours. Even you said so yourself."
Dongzi looked confused.
What does it mean?
When did he say that the jade pendant was not his?
Didn’t he just say that the lotus on the front is their family’s ancestral emblem, just like the “Mu” character on the back?
The police officer next to her looked at Mulanzhi in confusion.
Mulanzhi smiled and turned the jade pendant over, facing up, and pointed to the pattern on the front and told Dongzi.
"Look, is that a lotus flower?"
Dongzi glared: "Isn't this a lotus?"
Looking at the jade pendant from the front, the pattern on it looks like a lotus flower, but this lotus flower seems to have no base, and has petals on the top and bottom.
Mulanzhi continued to laugh, then turned the jade pendant ninety degrees, allowing the pattern on it to appear in front of everyone.
"Looking at it this way, you can tell it's not a lotus, right? These are actually two thousand-year-old turtles leaning against each other, tail to tail. If you don't look closely when it's horizontal, it does look a bit like a lotus, but if you look at it vertically, you can see the heads of the thousand-year-old turtles are on either side, while their tails are tightly connected."
"These two thousand-year-old turtles leaning against each other have a simple meaning: to wish the wearer longevity and health."
As Mulanzhi explained, the people around her also noticed it.
If you look at the pattern on the front vertically, you will see that it is actually two turtles, not lotus flowers at all!
If this jade pendant was really an heirloom of the Dongzi family, it would be impossible for him not to know the most basic meaning of this jade pendant.
Now, even if Dongzi's brain worked quickly, he didn't know how to refute it.
Several police officers also knew that the jade pendant might really belong to Mulanzhi.
After all, there is the word "Mu" as a logo on the back, and Mulanzhi can also clearly explain the pattern on the front at the first time, which shows that she knows everything about this jade pendant.
The police also immediately asked Dongzi.
"How did you get this jade pendant? Explain it immediately!"
Dongzi is still making his final effort.
"This jade pendant is mine."
"Then how come you can't even pronounce the pattern wrong? And you can't even tell what the word 'Mu' stands for?"
Dongzi was asked so many questions that his head was about to explode, but he couldn't think of how to save the situation.
In the end, he could only confess the truth under the scorching gaze of his public security comrades.
"This jade pendant is indeed something I always carry with me, but, but it wasn't given to me by my parents. It was given to me by my aunt. I don't know where she got it from."
Anyway, as long as it’s not obtained through fraud or deception, it’s fine.
Mulanzhi did not make things difficult for him, but chose to ask Dongzi where his aunt was. She planned to go find his aunt and ask.
If possible, it would be best to ask her about her time in this town.
What exactly is that missing memory like?
Dongzi explained vaguely that his aunt was in the hospital with a head injury, and that her family lived somewhere in Xishui Brigade.
When the police officers nearby who had been to Liang Jinheng's house heard this, they all wondered why Dongzi's aunt's house looked so much like Liang Jinheng's brother's house?
He couldn't help but ask his aunt if she had a son named Liang Jinheng.
Dongzi was stunned, then nodded quickly. He thought that his cousin Liang Jinheng had some connection with this group of people, so could he use his connections to see if he could?
"Yes, yes, that's my cousin. You know my cousin Liang Jinheng, right? I'm his cousin!"
Upon hearing this, the police officers not only did not show a gentle look, but instead looked at Dongzi with even more disgust.
How could Brother Liang, such an outstanding person, have such a cousin?
Liang Jinheng.......
For some reason, when Mulanzhi heard this name, her heart suddenly felt a strange pain, as if being pricked by a needle.
The feeling was very strange, as if she had heard this name somewhere, and this name was still connected to her.
But she thought about it, but still couldn't remember.
She frowned, suppressed the strange feeling, and prepared to go to the hospital to see Dongzi's aunt and ask about her situation.
However, because her son Mu Qingsong had not returned yet, she planned to wait until he brought Doudou back before going to the hospital to see Dongzi's aunt.
And at this moment, the Liang family.
The young policeman took Mu Qingsong all the way to Liang Jinheng's house. On the way, because Mu Qingsong was a little curious about Liang Jinheng, he told Mu Qingsong about Liang Jinheng in general.
Upon learning about Comrade Liang Jinheng's heroic behavior in arresting human traffickers, Mu Qingsong instantly developed a better impression of him.
He is worthy of being a soldier who has been to the battlefield. He is awesome!
Moreover, he looked somewhat like himself, which made Mu Qingsong feel that this might be fate.
"We're here. Brother Liang's house is right in front."
