In the principal's office of Chengxi No. 8 Primary School, Xu Lang and his three friends found the principal and explained their purpose.
The principal's surname is Li. He is forty-two years old. He was promoted from vice principal to principal a few years ago. Like most teachers, Principal Li wears professional attire, has a slicked back hair, and wears a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.
After listening to Xu Lang's request, Principal Li remained silent for a long time with a troubled expression, which made Xu Lang frown subconsciously.
"What's wrong, Principal Li? Are our requests embarrassing you?" Xu Lang asked.
Principal Li shook his head and said: "It's too difficult to talk about. If you just want to retrieve little Qin Fen's file information, there will definitely be no problem. However, the Qin Fen you are talking about is already thirty-three years old.
When he was in elementary school, it was already more than ten or twenty years ago, so the information may not be easy to find."
"Oh, that's okay. As long as the school still has their files, I think they will be able to find them. It's just a matter of time."
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Principal Li did not hesitate. He found someone to take Xu Lang and the others to the school's archives to search for information.
After entering the archives room, everything was exactly as Principal Li said, and the archive information about Xiao Qin Fen was quickly found.
After finding Xiao Qin Fen's archives, Xu Lang started looking through them.
Compared with the sorted and summarized archives they saw in the office before, the information Xu Lang and the others found here was more detailed.
Xiao Qinfen is indeed what the outside world said. His academic performance is very excellent, and it is not ordinary excellent. From the first grade to the sixth grade, all mid-term and final exams were almost full marks in every subject. Not only his academic performance is good, but also his writing skills are good.
The writing is also precise and very level.
After looking through the information, Xu Lang found the administrator and asked, "Why was Xiao Qin Fen sent to junior high school in the first place?"
The administrator of the school archives is an old man in his sixties, surnamed Zhou. He was the former principal of Chengxi No. 8 Primary School. After his retirement, he returned to the school as the administrator of the archives because he couldn't stay at home.
After hearing Xu Lang's question, Uncle Zhou said with a smile: "Oh, you are talking about that baby Qin Fen. He remembers that he is the second student in our school to be recommended to junior high school in so many years. In his
When I was in sixth grade, I won first place in a drawing competition. I drew very well and won first place. At that time, our school had a place for admission, and Xiao Qinfen won the first place for his drawing.
He won the first place, and he was good at studying. His teachers and classmates usually spoke highly of him, so I gave him this spot."
"Oh, is that painting still there?" Xu Lang asked.
"Now, we have always taken good care of the things left by these outstanding students. After all, they are the pride of our Eighth Elementary School."
As Uncle Zhou spoke, he led Xu Lang to a cabinet specially placed for these things. He pointed at a painting and said, "Well, this is the painting that won the first place."
Xu Lang looked in the direction of Uncle Zhou's finger, and sure enough he saw a simple drawing. Maybe because of his young age, maybe because his painting skills were not so solid, the simple drawing looked a bit immature, and the picture was of an eighth grade primary school student.
In the scene of children after school, in the center of the painting, there is a little boy carrying a schoolbag, walking alone. Beside him, there are many peers passing by. These children are all attracted by him in different colors and ways.
Outlined, although each person only has a few strokes, it is very vivid. Behind the boy is a national flag fluttering in the wind. Behind the flag is the teaching building. Among them, there is a room in the teaching building.
There were several vague figures, which looked like they should be the teacher's office. In front of the boy, there was a group of parents of students who were looking forward to it. Each of them was painted very simply, but very vividly. The boy raised his head slightly and looked at
In the lower left corner of the painting, there is a figure there. I don't know whether it was because the paint on the figure's face was rubbed off because it took too long, or whether it was originally like this, and the figure looked very blurry.
Xu Lang didn't have any painting skills, but he could still tell that Xiao Qin Fen's painting was indeed very beautiful and vivid. Although the technique was still a bit raw and immature, it was undeniable that this
His paintings are far beyond those of his peers, no wonder he won the first place.
Xu Lang's eyes stayed on the boy in the middle for a long time. He felt that this boy might be Xiao Qin Fen himself, and most people would definitely think so when they saw this painting. However, what aroused Xu Lang's interest
, or the blurry figure in the lower left corner of the painting.
"Uncle Zhou, what's going on with this person?" Xu Lang pointed at the figure and asked.
Uncle Zhou looked in the direction of Xu Lang's finger. After looking for a while, he frowned and said, "I don't know about this. Maybe the paint was rubbed off accidentally when the judge teacher was looking at the painting.
.”
Hearing what Uncle Zhou said, Xu Lang just frowned and said nothing. He took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the painting.
This painting seems to be a scene of the eighth primary school after school. The children are in a joyful and excited mood after school, as well as the teachers standing on the teaching building watching the children from a distance, and sitting in the teacher's office correcting homework.
The teacher and the anxious parents waiting outside the school looked very simple and life-like. Such paintings were very real. It was normal for the judges and teachers to give high scores. However, Xu Lang felt something else.
Another meaning.
It may have something to do with Xu Lang's profession. When he saw this painting, he felt that the little boy in the painting was very lonely and precocious. The children around him all left in groups.
, he was the only one, and among the anxiously waiting parents, Xu Lang did not see the person who caught the little boy's attention, only the blurry figure.
"Who is this figure? Is it Qin Youqi? Or Qiaolina, or someone else?"
Xu Lang thought in his heart, no one has told Xu Lang the answer, and for the time being, there is no answer.
After reading the painting, Xu Lang suddenly remembered what Uncle Zhou had just said. Xiao Qin Fen was the second student to be recommended to the Eighth Elementary School in the west of the city in these years.
"Uncle Zhou, you said that Xiao Qin Fen is the second student to be recommended. So, who is the first person?"
Xu Lang just asked casually, but unexpectedly, Uncle Zhou smiled and gave an answer that Xu Lang had never thought of.
"Oh, the first one was more than ten years ago. The child's surname was also Qin and his name was Qin Liang. At that time, I was the principal. I remember that the child was chubby. He was a little chubby and looked very cute.
, but his personality is a bit weird.”
"Qin Liang?"
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
Perhaps it had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him so much, so Uncle Zhou also started chatting and said to himself: "Speaking of which, Qin Liang's kid should be in his thirties now. If nothing else happens, he should be
He was also escorted all the way up, and I guess he should be the CEO of a certain company now."
Speaking of this, Uncle Zhou frowned, as if he remembered something. He looked at Xu Lang and said: "Oh, by the way, it's strange for me to say that in the past few years, among the recommended students in our school,
Qin Liang and Qin Fen look quite similar, I thought they were related in some way, haha..."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Originally, Xu Lang just asked casually, and Uncle Zhou also said casually. Xu Lang didn't intend to know so much. However, when Uncle Zhou finished saying this, Xu Lang's face suddenly changed. What did he think of?
, quickly turned his head, looked at Uncle Zhou and asked: "The school should have a group photo of graduating students, right?"
Uncle Zhou was stunned by Xu Lang, nodded subconsciously, and said, "Yes, every year, we organize a group photo for graduating students before they graduate."
"Then where are these photos now?" Xu Lang asked quickly.
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Uncle Zhou said.
After saying these words, Uncle Zhou turned around and left, leaving Xu Lang standing there, his original color changing uncertainly.
Qin Mingyue is not a talkative person. Today, he brought his assistant Ren Xue and Xu Lang to the Eighth Elementary School in the west of the city to investigate the archives of two Qin Fens. After arriving at the archives room, Qin Mingyue and Ren Xue went to the archives in numerous places.
After rummaging through the files, except for Xiao Qin Fen's file information, there was no Qin Fen at all. Now, seeing Xu Lang's expression, Qin Mingyue came over.
"What's wrong? What did you find?" Qin Mingyue asked.
"Have you found Qin Fen's archive information?" Xu Lang said in response to the question.
Qin Mingyue shook her head and said: "I found the archives that I had compiled based on Qin Fen's age, but I couldn't find a student named Qin Fen."
"It seems that my guess is correct." Xu Lang murmured to himself.
Hearing this, Qin Mingyue frowned, looked at Xu Lang, and asked, "What did you guess?"
Xu Lang shook his head and said nothing. He was waiting for Uncle Zhou to come back with the photo album. After seeing the photo album, Xu Lang could prove the guess in his heart.
————
Not long after, Uncle Zhou came back with a big photo album in his arms and asked Xu Lang and the others to take a look.
Uncle Zhou obviously knows a lot about photo albums. He directly turned to the group photo taken by little Qin Fen when he graduated. He pointed at the boy in the middle and said, "Hey, this is the Qin Fen you are looking for. It was taken more than four years ago."
of."
Xu Lang looked in the direction of Uncle Zhou's finger and found a boy wearing a blue and white school uniform, standing in the middle, next to a female teacher. The female teacher looked to be in her thirties and should be their class teacher.
The children are all wearing uniforms and look similar. Although most of the children are looking at the camera, it can still be seen that some children are not paying attention to the camera, but Xiao Qinfen keeps looking at the camera.
.
Taking photos is a very happy thing for children, but Xiao Qin Fen in the photo is not so happy, but a little serious, especially when Xu Lang saw the boy's eyes, he saw super
Compared with the calmness and calmness of his peers, he seems a bit standout and out of place.
Xu Lang watched for a while, took out his mobile phone and took a photo. Then, he raised his head, looked at Uncle Zhou and asked, "Do you have the graduation photo from twenty-one years ago?"
Uncle Zhou nodded and said, "Yes, but it's at the very end. I'll look for it for you."
After saying that, Uncle Zhou turned the photo album to the end, from back to front.
After flipping through the pages for a while, Uncle Zhou raised his head and said to Xu Lang: "Well, this is a group photo taken twenty-one years ago, a long time ago."
Hearing what Uncle Zhou said, Xu Lang immediately bent down and looked at the photo. It was different from the color photo he just saw.
At the same time, this is a black and white photo. Although the photo is very well protected, it is still yellowed and has some cracks due to its age. Xu Lang looked at the photo when he first saw it.
In the middle, the little boy standing at the front.
"hiss..."
Xu Lang took a slight breath. Different colors, different photos, different people, but in the same position, he saw a very similar boy with the same calm and calm eyes. He seemed to stand out and out of place.
People notice him at first sight.
"Who is this boy?" Xu Lang asked, pointing to the boy in the middle.
"Oh, he is the Qin Liang I told you just now, the first recommended student in our eighth primary school." Uncle Zhou said proudly.
Hearing this, Xu Lang's pupils shrank violently. He raised his head, turned his head and looked at Qin Mingyue. Qin Mingyue also noticed the problem and looked at Xu Lang. The two of them nodded.
Xu Lang didn't say anything else. He turned the photo album to the photo of Xiao Qin Fen just now and looked at it carefully. Then he turned it back and looked at it several times. Uncle Zhou was stunned.
, I don’t know what Xu Lang is doing.
For a long time, Xu Lang stood up straight and exhaled a long breath.
"Xu..."
"Comrade police, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with these two photos?" Uncle Zhou looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled look.
Xu Lang shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
After saying this, Xu Lang turned to Qin Mingyue and said, "Let's go find Qin Liang's files."
Qin Mingyue nodded, said nothing, turned around and went to the filing cabinet from twenty-one years ago.
Because she had already searched for it just now, Qin Mingyue quickly found Qin Liang's file information.
Qin Liang, male, twelve years old, father Qin Youliang, mother Qiao Na, lives in XXX in the west of the city...
After seeing this information, Xu Lang's expression suddenly became solemn. They found Qin Liang's file information, or in other words, they found Qin Fen's file information.
There was a photo of Qin Liang on the file. Although it was a black and white photo and Qin Liang was still very immature at the time, Xu Lang and the others were still sure that Qin Liang was Qin Fen.
This unexpected discovery was so unexpected. After Xu Lang read Qin Liang's file information, he immediately asked to take away Qin Liang and Xiao Qin Fen's information. Principal Li had also said hello before, so Uncle Zhou naturally didn't.
What do you think? After Xu Lang and the others signed the documents, they left the Eighth Elementary School in the west of the city with these documents.
After leaving Chengxi No. 8 Primary School, Xu Lang and the others did not go back to CSY directly. Instead, they went to Chengxi No. 7 Middle School, the junior high school where Xiao Qinfen and the others attended.
After explaining their purpose to the principal of Chengxi No. 7 Middle School, Xu Lang and the others successfully entered the archives room. Soon, Xiao Qin Fen's archives were found. At the same time, Qin Liang's archives were also found. More importantly,
Fortunately, Xu Lang and the others also found their graduation photo here.
After obtaining this information, Xu Lang and the others left Chengxi No. 7 Middle School.
On the way back, Xu Lang seemed very silent. He kept looking down at the documents in his hand, frowning.
Originally, Xu Lang just wanted to come to the two schools to look for information on Qin Fen and his younger brother. Unexpectedly, he found information on Qin Fen, the younger brother, but not his brother Qin Fen. Instead, a person named Qin Liang appeared. Likewise,
They are recommended students and they look very similar. However, Xu Lang and the others asked the school and they were very impressed by the two students. However, they did not know what the relationship between Qin Liang and Xiao Qin Fen was.
,Perhaps, they feel that the only relationship is that they both have the surname Qin and are both recommended students.
The person in charge of driving was Qin Mingyue. He looked at Xu Lang's frowning expression. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Brother Lang, do you think this Qin Liang is the deceased Qin Fen?"
Hearing Qin Mingyue's voice, Xu Lang raised his head and did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he looked out the window, remained silent for a while and said, "If I guess correctly, Qin Liang is Qin Fen."
"If that's the case, then why didn't we find this problem during our previous investigation?" Qin Mingyue asked.
"Ten or twenty years have passed. Who still remembers a person? It's normal that they haven't been investigated." Xu Lang said slowly.
"Then what to do next?" Qin Mingyue asked.
Xu Lang shook his head. He felt that his mind was a little confused now.
Previously, the investigation of Qin Fen showed that Qin Fen was an extremely lazy person. However, after seeing Qin Liang's information, he found that Qin Liang was a genius and a top student. This was different from the previous investigation.
There is a huge discrepancy, and all of this shows that it is abnormal.
This powerful contrast prevented Xu Lang from coming back to his senses for a while. There was another thing that Xu Lang couldn't figure out.
When Qin Liang took the junior high school graduation exam, his scores were enough to get into a good high school. However, the data showed that he had never attended high school. Why?
Qin Fen came to live in Lushui Community in the 17th year, and little Qin Fen was also born at that time. Is there some inevitable connection between the two? Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?
A genius and top student in the past has become a waste more than ten years later, a person abandoned by the world and society. What is the reason?
