Qu Mingcong stared at the other person and asked: "...can you think about it again? Can't you remember anything? No impression at all?"
Shen Jing smiled apologetically, "Yes, not only the car accident, but also the few days before the car accident I have no memory of. After I became pregnant, my brain became even more stupid. I really can't remember it."
Qu Mingcong asked: "Then do you know how long your missing memory lasts? Three days? Five days? Or a week or a month?"
"Ah... maybe, about a week?" Shen Jing looked at him suspiciously, "Why do you ask this? Did something happen?"
Qu Mingcong casually made up a reason, "It's okay... I'm just worried that the kidnappers may have other motives for committing crimes, so I want to ask more carefully."
"That's it..." Shen Jing thought for a moment and looked embarrassed, "Then I may not be able to help you. I really can't remember."
Qu Mingcong was disappointed, "Can't you remember what happened a week before the amnesia?"
Shen Jing shook his head slowly, "I can't remember. After all, it has been more than a year..."
Anyone would probably not be able to remember what they were doing a year ago today.
Qu Mingcong knew that he could not get any more clues from Shen Jing. He was helpless and confused. He originally wanted to find out Xiao Qiao's identity, but the more he searched, the more confused he became.
"I'll leave you a phone number. If you remember, call me." He took out a business card from the firm and handed it to Shen Jing.
Shen Jing took it in his hand and looked at it, "...investigation office?"
"Well." Qu Mingcong stood up and said goodbye, "Sorry for disturbing you today, have a good rest."
…
After leaving Shen Jing's home, Qu Mingcong returned to the car and finally sighed unbearably——
The number of times he sighed recently was more than the number of times he sighed in the previous year combined.
"How about...forget it?" She whispered on the phone.
Do you want to forget it?
Qu Mingcong leaned his head back on the seat and closed his eyes.
In fact, he was unwilling to do so.
But after finding this step, what else can we do if we forget about it? Unless Shen Jing can suddenly remember how she lost her memory a year ago, and... is it possible that even if the other party remembers it, she will only remember that she was there? Got into a car accident at some point?
When he thought of this possibility, Qu Mingcong could hardly restrain himself from slapping the steering wheel! The car horn suddenly blared harshly.
Xiao Qiao was frightened by him and exclaimed: "What's wrong with you?!"
"It's okay..." Qu Mingcong opened his eyes, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips, "I just suddenly felt like you were playing Russian dolls with me."
"What matryoshka doll game?" She said nervously, "Did you go crazy in investigating the case? Is it such a big blow to you if you can't find out my identity?"
"Ha..." Qu Mingcong sneered, "It's like an onion skin, peeled off layer after layer. What is this matryoshka doll game if it's not?"
Originally I thought she was Qiao Yueying, but Qiao Yueying said she was an outsider, and then she thought she was Shen Jing, but Shen Jing lost her memory immediately. Even if someone else is found in the future, they might all be her onion skins!
However, the initiator was still unaware and looked innocent.
Qu Mingcong's teeth were itching and he wanted to take her out of the phone and take a few bites! Just like biting an apple!
She said: "Actually, you can't blame Shen Jing. After all, it's been a year. It's understandable that she can't remember it. Don't say that people don't remember a year ago, even the surveillance video can't be saved that long."
Qu Mingcong laughed angrily, "When did I say I blamed her?"
"You didn't blame her? Then are you blaming me?" She couldn't accept it and said, "It's not fair! She has lost her memory and I have lost my memory too. Why do you only blame me?!"
Qu Mingcong: “…………”
While they were arguing, Wang Wei suddenly called, and the ringtone of the cell phone drowned out her voice.
Qu Mingcong answered the phone and asked: "What's the matter?"
"There is a customer who wants to entrust us with an investigation..."
"Put it down," Qu Mingcong frowned, "I really don't have time recently, as I told you before."
Wang Wei lowered his voice and said a little sneakily, "No, this is a special situation... You'd better come back as soon as possible..."
"If the situation is special, I will reject it. I don't have time." Qu Mingcong insisted.
Wang Wei lowered his voice again, "You... look at WeChat, I can't tell you clearly on my phone."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Qu Mingcong was confused, opened WeChat with a frown, and saw the message from Wang Wei:
[It’s the person you were looking for last time! He came to the office again!]
Last time?
Before Qu Mingcong could react, Wang Wei sent a photo.
It was obviously a candid photo, and most of the figures were blurry, but when Qu Mingcong saw the white down jacket in the photo, he immediately sat up straight and stared at the figures in the photo.
It's the boy who called him sister last time.
I've been to his home, to the office, and now I'm going to the office again to entrust him with investigating the case?!
Qu Mingcong was shocked and confused, and immediately replied to Wang Wei: [I'll be back soon, don't let him go.]
He started the engine and drove back. The pores in his body seemed to be open and every nerve was tense.
Compared to Qiao Yueying and Shen Jing, this boy concerned him more, because the other party was the only one who took the initiative to contact Xiao Qiao, which meant that the other party must know about it!
As long as he can find out the identity of the other party, the mystery of Xiao Qiao's identity will naturally be solved.
Qu Mingcong finally saw the light.
Finally no more peeling onions.
Perhaps sensing that his mood was getting high, Xiao Qiao nervously said on the phone: "Slow down, slow down... you drive slower, safety first..."
Qu Mingcong looked ahead and laughed: "I'll try my best."
…
20 minutes later, Qu Mingcong returned to the office.
He adjusted his breathing, calmed down his emotions, then opened the glass door and walked in——
There was a boy squatting next to the sofa, playing with the cat. When he saw Qu Mingcong come in, he immediately stood up and looked over with wide eyes, full of curiosity.
"You're back!" Wang Wei hurried over, "Well, let's sit down and chat. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let me introduce you..."
Wang Wei coughed twice, faced the boy and solemnly introduced him: "This is the investigator of our firm, Brother Ming."
Qu Mingcong stretched out a hand towards him, "Hello, what do you call me?"
The boy looked very immature, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of bright, dark eyes, which revealed a certain inexperience in the world.
He looked at Qu Mingcong, then moved his eyes down to Qu Mingcong's hand. After a few seconds, he slowly stretched out his hand and shook Qu Mingcong's hand.
Qu Mingcong raised his eyebrows slightly. The touch felt a bit strange. He suspected that the other party had cat hair on his hands.
"My name is He Qile." The boy said, "I want to entrust you to investigate a case. I don't know how to calculate the fees here?"
Qu Mingcong turned around and asked Wang Wei: "Didn't you introduce our charging standards to him?"
"He introduced it," the boy explained, "but my situation is a bit complicated and involves a bounty, so I want to discuss with you how to distribute the bonus if I get it."
Qu Mingcong looked the boy up and down, then walked to the sofa and sat down, saying: "Let's talk about the specific situation."
