"Uh..." Xia Tong touched his head and said, "Hello, I'm from China too..."
She stood still and waited for her next words with a smile.
"I originally came to Australia to meet friends, but I lost my wallet and the contact information in it. I'm very hungry now, can I..."
"Okay." Before Xia Tong finished speaking, she had already nodded, as if she didn't have the slightest sense of defensiveness: "My home is nearby, and the servants at home should have prepared the meal now. If Miss Xia doesn't mind, we can come together.
Go eat..."
Xia Tong followed up: "Why do you dislike me? I should thank you, madam, for taking me in..." She paused and suddenly asked: "I don't know how to call you, madam?"
She replied: "My husband's name is Richard Field, and others call me Mrs. Field."
Xia Tong asked anxiously: "What about your real name, madam?"
Her footsteps paused slightly, and Xia Tong realized that she had made a mistake and quickly said: "If it is not convenient for you to say..."
She interrupted with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I have forgotten my real name."
Xia Tong was stunned.
*************
After a while, Xia Tong arrived at Mrs. Field's home, which was a typical Australian middle-class family. A separate two-story villa surrounded by a small garden.
Xia Tong followed her in, and a servant immediately came forward and took the things in Mrs. Field's hands. The two little guys who were clinging to their mother just now smelled the aroma of the food and immediately ran away happily.
Entered the restaurant.
Mrs. Field turned to Xia Tong and said, "It just so happens that my husband won't be home for dinner tonight, so the servants made an extra steak and were worried that no one would eat it. Fortunately, Miss Xia, you are here."
Xia Tong smiled politely at her, and then everyone sat down at the dining table together.
Feili's medium-rare and creamy texture, mixed with the well-preserved fishy smell and full of tender juice, were poured into Xia Tong's mouth over and over again. She admitted that these steaks were well fried, but at this moment, she didn't feel at all
I am not in the mood to taste delicious food.
All I could think about was that photo, the person in front of me before.
Everything was so weird. At first she thought Lin Manru was dead, but then Yi Chu told her that he saw information about Lin Manru's plastic surgery in a hospital in Australia, confirming that Su Ruo was Lin Manru. But just when everyone thought Su Ruo was
If it were the real Lin Manru, and even she herself admitted it...
In front of me, a woman who looked exactly like Lin Manru appeared.
Xia Tong was really confused.
"Miss Xia..." Mrs. Field called her.
Xia Tong came back to his senses: "Uh...what's the matter?"
She smiled: "Is the food not to your liking? I see you are always frowning..."
"No, no..." Xia Tong said: "The steak tastes very good. I was just thinking about how to contact my friends and was distracted for a moment..."
"That's it." She handed her a drink: "There is no need to rush your friend's matter. After dinner, Miss Xia can go to the police station to report the crime first, and the police will help you."
Xia Tong stood up and held the quilt with both hands: "Thank you..."
But when she saw Mrs. Field's hand in front of her, an unexpected thought suddenly flashed through her! She vaguely noticed something unusual.
She just handed herself a drink with her left hand! Is she left-handed?
Xia Tong looked over and saw that Mrs. Field in front of her was holding a knife in her left hand and a fork in her right hand. This was completely opposite to the left fork and right knife in real Western dining etiquette. Xia Tong was even more sure of her guess.
Xia Tong asked: "Is Madam left-handed?"
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled sheepishly: "Yes, I have always wanted to change it, but I always forget it unconsciously and make you laugh."
"Everyone has different habits," Xia Tong said.
If she remembered correctly, the girl in the sunflower field also held the sunflowers with her left hand. Lin Manru was left-handed. Su Ruo, however, was a normal right-hander.
All the answers seem to be ready to come out, and all that is needed is one piece of evidence to prove that the woman in front of her is the real one - Lin Manru!
****** ******
As soon as he returned to the hotel, Xia Tong immediately called Yi Chu.
When the call was connected, Yi Chu's tone was slightly sullen: "Tongtong, what's going on with you today? Your phone has been turned off. I've been calling the hotel all day but no one answered?"
Xia Tong said embarrassedly: "I was too bored today, so I went out for a walk. My phone ran out of battery and I didn't notice."
"Don't do this again in the future. You are not familiar with Australia. If you get lost..."
"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong..." Xia Tong understood that he was in the wrong and said in a lower voice: "Senior Yi, I called you to ask you something..."
"What's up?"
"Didn't you tell me before that you know a plastic surgeon who once performed plastic surgery on a girl named Lin Manru in City A..." Xia Tong paused: "Do you still have contact with her now?"
"You said Dr. Aaron, he seemed to have resigned a few months ago."
"Resign?" Xia Tong asked, "Why?"
"I heard that his grandmother passed away and left him a manor in his hometown, so he went back to his hometown."
Resign? What a coincidence?!
Xia Tong asked again: "Then do you know where Dr. Aaron's hometown is?"
Yi Chu said: "I'm not sure, I'll ask Cecilia."
Xia Tong waited for a while, and Yi Chu came back: "She said she didn't know that Dr. Aaron had always lived in an apartment assigned to the hospital, and she had never heard of him having a grandmother. But suddenly he said that a grandmother died.
I left him the manor and property, then resigned and left."
Xia Tong tightened his grip on the phone. It was such a coincidence. It was as if someone deliberately stood behind the scenes and weaved an intricate web. Then he quietly watched everyone get caught in the web.
, irreversible.
Xia Tong asked again: "I remember, Senior Yi, you said at the beginning that you had read the information about Lin Manru's plastic surgery. Can you still find it now?"
Yi Chu pondered: "I asked Cecilia to look for it, and I should be able to find it..." He paused, a little curious: "Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden? What happened?"
"It's nothing," Xia Tong said, "I just suddenly discovered something interesting and need to verify it."
Early the next morning, Yi Chu called and said there was news about Cecilia.
Xia Tong hurriedly asked: "What's the news? Have you found the information? Where are you? I'm going to find you now!"
Yi Chu's voice on the phone was obviously confused: "Tongtong, you don't need to come."
"Why?" Xia Tong was surprised.
"Because that information is missing..."
Missing?! The information proving that Lin Manru is Su Ruo has disappeared?!
Too many weird and unusual things happened one by one. Xia Tong had probably confirmed the guess that had been swirling in his mind.
Perhaps the real Lin Manru is indeed not dead. She has already met her soul mate on another wonderful island and gave birth to two lovely children.
If this is indeed the case, who is Su Ruo?
Why did she pretend to be Lin Manru? What was her purpose in doing all this?
