I don’t know whether the price Wei Jingxing offered was high enough or the order was challenging enough, but Shan Ye finally replied to the email half a year later, saying that he accepted the order.
Moreover, it is his habit to inform his employer immediately of any real-time progress.
This is one of the reasons why some people like to work with him. There are also some private detectives who disappear after taking a job and only contact the employer when there is a result.
But Wei Jingxing is a person who pays attention to the process, and he can also give feedback from some information that Shan Ye has found.
For example, the first hurdle is Hou Xialan’s family background.
Wei Jingxing had been in love with Hou Xialan for several years, but he knew nothing about his girlfriend's family situation.
He recalled it carefully. It's not that he didn't listen carefully, but Hou Xialan really never mentioned it, even rarely mentioned her previous life.
This is totally abnormal for an ordinary girl who is in the passionate love period!
Hou Xialan’s so-called good friends, besties, etc., were all people she met after entering this circle, and there was not a single one of them who had been there before.
Wei Jingxing knew her in this circle, so he didn't find it strange at the time.
But now I don’t know if it’s because I’ve jumped out of it, or because I’ve finally gained more experience, but I just feel that everything is weird.
It was as if Hou Xialan’s previous life was all deliberately covered up by her.
Wei Jingxing has recently been recalling every detail of his time with Hou Xialan, trying to find some different information from clues.
After a long period of recollection, he finally had a vague impression.
He remembered that he once drank too much at the crew's celebration party. Hou Xialan came to pick him up, and before he came out, he seemed to be talking on the phone with someone.
But the content of the phone call seemed to make her unhappy. When he came out, the expression on Hou Xialan's face changed immediately.
Finally, he said something into the phone and hung up.
Wei Jingxing didn't understand anything at the time, but he was confused and didn't pay much attention to it. He was just a little surprised that he had never heard that accent before.
It was not until later when he traveled around the country with the crew that he accidentally heard a similar accent in one place.
That's Jiangshi dialect!
But what Hou Xialan said seemed to be different from the Jiangshi dialect he had heard. Wei Jingxing couldn't remember exactly where it was different.
We can only guess that Hou Xialan's hometown may be in that area. After all, it is normal for the intonation of Jiangshi dialect to change slightly in different villages, towns or cities.
So this time when Shan Ye wanted to investigate Hou Xia Lan, he also provided this information.
With a specific direction, Shan Ye had his own skills in finding people, and within ten days, the information was passed back.
Hou Xialan is indeed from Jiang City, or strictly speaking, she is from a county-level city under Jiang City.
And her name was not Hou Xialan. It can be said that she changed her name later. Her original name was Hou Xianglan.
Hou Xianglan has four brothers and sisters in her family. She is the second among them. She has an older brother, a younger sister and a younger brother.
Hou Xianglan and her sister Hou Xiangqin are twins.
The Hou family was very poor, but the Hou family was famous for being well-organized in their hometown village.
The whole family is good-looking.
Among them, the sisters of the Hou family are the best. It can be said that they inherited the good looks of their parents.
So very early on, the neighbors heard the woman from the Hou family mention that she wanted to marry both of her daughters to wealthy families in exchange for a large sum of betrothal gifts so that she would have money to marry her son.
She also kept saying that if she couldn't marry a rich man, it would be a waste of the face she was given.
The Hou family is a family that favors boys over girls, and they were able to raise the two sisters only because of their looks.
Later, the two sisters grew up and became more and more beautiful, and the women of the Hou family treated the two daughters much better.
It wasn't that she had a change of heart or developed feelings for him, but that she suddenly came to her senses and felt that a large sum at one time was not as good as a long-term investment, or that she was playing the long game to catch a big fish.
If I really marry a rich coal boss, I will be more favored by men in the future, and I can support my two sons, right?
An old neighbor said that they used to see the sisters going to and from school together, but not long after they graduated from high school, they suddenly disappeared.
The old neighbor said she didn't know why, but during that period the women of the Hou family were cursing in the yard every day, saying things like "it's a waste of raising a slut" and so on, and the curses were particularly ugly.
But once someone passed by, she would quickly hide in the house and refuse to show her face.
He seemed very angry, but also afraid of others knowing.
Even though the two of them had always had a good relationship, the woman from the Hou family never told her where the two sisters had gone.
About five or six years later, the Hou family suddenly moved to the city.
After that, she only met the woman from the Hou family twice, and each time she was dressed in jewels and looked like a nouveau riche.
Another neighbor of hers once asked the Hou family's wife where her two daughters were.
The Hou family woman looked particularly disdainful at the time, but she still explained that they had all gone to work in other places.
But their family has been neighbors with the Hou family for many years, and they know what this family is like. Moreover, the women of the Hou family certainly cannot be so high-profile just by working.
She guessed that either the couple won the lottery or sold their two daughters.
But this is someone else's business. Whether they really sold their daughter or not has nothing to do with her. As for where she was sold to, they have no idea. Anyway, the rich families in the surrounding area did not marry women from the Hou family.
Then it is very likely that she married and moved to another place, or she did not marry at all, but became someone's mistress.
Wei Jingxing calculated based on the information sent back by Shan Ye that the two Hou sisters left their hometown after they turned eighteen. Two years later, Wei Jingxing and Hou Xialan met in Beijing.
But at that time, Wei Jingxing was very sure that he had never heard Hou Xialan mention that she had a younger sister.
I thought that since they were twin sisters, they should have a good relationship.
Would Hou Xialan's sister know where she was going? Or were they actually together?
With this idea in mind, Wei Jingxing decided to ask Shan Ye to change the target of investigation and investigate Hou Xiangqin first.
"good."

Wei Mian's fortune-telling shop has been doing very good business recently, with people coming in for divination almost every day.
Sometimes they are artists in disguise, sometimes they are industry elites in suits and ties, and sometimes they are elderly people in casual clothes.
At most, she counted three in a day. Wei Mian refused to count more than that and asked Xin Xiaotong to make appointments later.
She even thought that she might as well just have her fortune told every day to avoid lowering her status.
The main reason is that Wei Xianyu Mian wants to be lazy. Anyway, the balance in her bank card is enough to keep her happy until old age, so there is no need to work too hard.
But those who came recently were all introduced by old customers, so she couldn't say anything and just ignored them all.
