It only took 5 minutes for Fang Linyan to find the person who had been trying to hide her existence.
She was the office director of the orphanage: Ma Jing!
Mr. Qin, who recovered his normal memory, glanced at it and saw that she was not on the list at all. Mr. Qin knew all the women in the orphanage like the back of his hand, even though Ma Jing's presence was very weak!
Fang Linyan needed Mr. Qin's reminder to remember this thin woman who walked silently and could only be found in the office on the third floor.
Fang Linyan remembered that in the ten years he lived in the orphanage, he had only spoken to this woman twice.
The first time, Ma Jing walked in front and dropped a folder. Fang Linyan helped to pick it up from behind and handed it to her. Ma Jing said thank you, kid.
The second time, Fang Linyan went to the dean's office. Ma Jing asked him to sweep the corridor next to him.
After successfully getting Ma Jing's name, Fang Linyan simply handed over the investigation to Mai Yong. Then it was already 12 o 'clock in the morning, so he went directly to Mai Yong's place to rest.
Mai Yong also went all out in order to get the remaining hundreds of thousands of yuan. Early the next morning, he knocked on Fang Linyan's door and said that he found Ma Jing's whereabouts. She was in Fang County next door.
After Fang Linyan heard it, he was immediately refreshed. He wiped his face casually, then chewed a gum and got in the car, letting Mai Yong lead the way.
This time, Mai Yong probably knew that the road condition was not good in the past, so he specially changed to a domestic Great Wall pickup truck.
The price of this thing was really cheap, but it was really the king of cost-performance ratio at the same price. There was no rival at all! It was not until later when Jiang Ling's Grimoire was used that it could barely be compared with it.
After a difficult journey, Fang Linyan and his group finally came to Fang County 50 kilometers away.
It was a short 50 kilometers, even the pickup truck drove for 3 hours. The bad road condition could be seen.
After arriving at Fang County, Mai Yong made a phone call, then he drove to the workers' square in the center of the county and waited. Soon, a short man jumped on the car and led the way in front. Finally, the car stopped in front of a 5-story residential building.
After getting off the car, Fang Linyan heard the sound of gongs and drums in his ears, then he saw a temporary shed. The main body of this shed was a steel pipe, and the surrounding plastic woven bags were used to block the wind.
After the sound of gongs and drums ended, there was the sound of chanting Buddha. It was played with a low-quality tape, and the hoarse sound was very clear.
Two wreaths were placed at the entrance of the shed. Needless to say, there were more than ten people sitting inside. More than half of them were playing mahjong. As for the rest, of course, they were playing with gold flowers.
One of them even slapped his thigh and stood up with a big smile on his face.
"Leopard! Leopard!"
Leopard!!!! Fang!!!! Fang!!! Fang!!!!!!!! Fang to Fang!!! Fang!
Seeing this scene, an ominous feeling suddenly arose spontaneously. Fang Linyan waved his hand blankly and asked Mai Yong to inquire about the news. After about half a minute, Mai Yong walked over with a solemn face and said,
"Ma Jing is dead."
Fang Linyan said after a few seconds of silence.
"When?"
Mai Yong gave the short man 10 yuan, then threw him a pack of cigarettes and whispered a few words to him. The short man immediately mixed into the crowd, and it didn't take long for him to get the first-hand news.
"Last night at about 12 o 'clock, she drank pesticide directly, then jumped down from the building. It is said that she quarreled with her family and was in a bad mood."
Then Mai Yong also took the initiative to report the rest of the news,
"Ma Jing's family condition is average, and her character is quite withdrawn. She divorced 10 years ago and didn't have children. Now it is her sister, Ma Hong, who came to deal with the funeral. Now Ma Hong is playing mahjong next to her. She should be in a bad mood just now. "
Fang Linyan was stunned. Ma Hong was in a bad mood when she was playing mahjong. In other words, her original mood was very good … Is she a biological sister?
Then he said to Mai Yong,
"Well done. You go and arrange it. I'll meet Ma Hong."
Mai Yong said,
"Okay, I'll go now."
So 3 minutes later, Ma Hong, who was a little stunned, heard a good news,
"What? Are you here to pay back the money? You owe my sister more than 8,000 yuan!! "
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"Yes, but now it seems that something happened to Aunt Ma …"
Ma Hong was keenly aware that the 8,000 yuan that was about to be in her hands was about to grow wings and fly away. She immediately said with red eyes,
"Yeah! She died just like that, but she owed me a lot of debt!! "
This was the first time Ma Hong cried in the past month. In fact, after the neighborhood committee called urgently last night to say that her sister jumped off the building and died, Ma Hong almost laughed out loud.
Since Ma Hong borrowed money from Ma Jing twice and didn't pay it back, they had a big quarrel and directly fell out with each other. They hadn't contacted each other for almost 3 years.
Fang Linyan saw Ma Hong's performance, so he hesitated and said,
"Actually, it's not impossible to return this money to you, but?"
Ma Hong immediately asked nervously,
"But what?"
Fang Linyan said,
"When I borrowed money back then, I wrote an IOU to your sister. Not only that, I also put an accessory left by my parents as collateral. Although it's not worth much, it's very important to me."
"If you are willing to let me go to your sister's relics to look for it, then I can return this money to you."
Ma Hong hesitated for a moment. The shrewd her quickly calculated in her mind. She realized that the most valuable thing her sister had left behind was a black and white television. This kid couldn't possibly say that this television was left behind by his parents, right?
Even if this guy said shamelessly, then she would just give it to him. A second-hand black-and-white TV was at most 50 yuan!
So Ma Hong said shrewdly,
"You give me the money first, then I will let you go up and look for it."
Fang Linyan directly threw a stack of 10,000 yuan banknotes over,
"Lead the way."
Under the leadership of Ma Hong, Fang Linyan stepped into the home of this mysterious woman.
Obviously, since the behind-the-scenes mastermind chose to abandon Ma Jing to protect the general, he would not leave any valuable clues for Fang Linyan.
However, the behind-the-scenes mastermind did not hesitate to modify most of the memories in the orphanage to protect Ma Jing. This showed that Ma Jing actually played a quite important role in the behind-the-scenes mastermind's system.
Therefore, Fang Linyan felt that it was definitely not a waste of time to spend 10,000 yuan to come here and take a look.
Calculating the time when Ma Jing jumped off the building, it should be not long after they came out of Uncle Qin's house. Obviously, when he broke the false memory implanted by Liu Qiang and Uncle Qin, the behind-the-scenes mastermind should have felt it.
The key was that there were more than a dozen retired staff in the orphanage. If one was killed, there were still many left. The behind-the-scenes mastermind couldn't do anything to Fang Linyan, and it was impossible to kill the rest of the people in one night.
Then he could only kill Ma Jing who was definitely exposed.
The place where Ma Jing lived was not big. There was only one room, one living room, and one kitchen. There was not even a bathroom. Usually, she needed to go to the public toilet on each floor to go to the toilet, and at night, she would use the toilet.
The whole room was gloomy, and there was a musty smell. It was messy everywhere. Fang Linyan wiped it with his finger, and there was a thick layer of dust everywhere.
Then Fang Linyan found that in a dark corner of the dormitory, there was an old rattan chair. It could even be seen that there was a deep dent on the rattan chair …
This showed that Ma Jing's butt was very big. Bah, of course not. It meant that she was sitting here alone when she was free!
Just think about it. A solitary woman in her fifties who didn't do anything after waking up every day. She didn't even clean up the messy house. Instead, she just sat in the darkest corner of the dark bedroom and stared blankly for the whole day. Just thinking about this scene was enough to make one's heart tremble.
At this time, Mai Qiang was a smooth and slick person. When he saw Fang Linyan looking around, he immediately understood and walked forward to talk to Ma Hong.
After hinting that she often received fake 100 yuan banknotes recently, Ma Hong's smile immediately became awkward and stiff. She quickly went downstairs to find the money detector, leaving Fang Linyan here alone.
Therefore, Fang Linyan's behavior was of course more unscrupulous. He began to rummage through the cabinets.
"What is this?"
Fang Linyan picked up something and said doubtfully.
The thing in his hand looked like a pendant, but it looked very evil.
However, after studying it for a while, and Fang Linyan made two phone calls, he finally confirmed that this thing … Cough cough, in fact, it was really a pendant with poor workmanship. It turned out that Fang Linyan also had times when he misjudged.
Fortunately, Fang Linyan quickly found another valuable clue. This clue came from a cabinet next to him. At the bottom of the wardrobe, Fang Linyan found a few yellowed newspapers.
At first, he didn't pay attention to this because every family at that time had the habit of keeping a few newspapers at home. Even when buying peanuts on the street, they would cut half of the newspaper and fold it into a paper tube, and then fill it with peanuts for you.
The newspaper could not only be used as a food bag, but it could also be used as a copybook for practicing calligraphy, toilet paper for wiping your butt, and a torch for the coal stove …
But just when Fang Linyan's eyes flashed across the newspaper, he suddenly saw a few familiar words in his eyes,
"Virgin Pregnancy?"
"Why are these words so familiar?"
"Right! I saw it in the notes left by Zhang Kun. He posted a lot of newspaper clippings on it! "
After discovering this, Fang Linyan immediately picked up the newspaper and read it. He found that this was really the case. Zhang Kun's newspaper clippings at that time were cut from this newspaper.
After discovering this, Fang Linyan's eyes suddenly lit up. Why would Zhang Kun be interested in that information? In the final analysis, it was because he noticed something wrong in the position of the dean.
This guy's scheming was also very deep, and his heart was also ruthless enough. From the fact that he didn't hesitate to play the trick of "reporting himself" to avoid the brainwashing of the behind-the-scenes mastermind, it could be seen that he was extraordinary.
Obviously, the cause and effect of this was: Zhang Kun discovered those strange things, then he quietly investigated. Finally, he collected the information that Ma Jing was also collecting.
With this in mind, Fang Linyan immediately outlined 3 keywords in his mind:
The girl who was strangely pregnant and then disappeared,
The baby that Ma Jing brought back,
The strange things that Zhang Kun encountered one after another during this period!
Obviously, the girl who appeared in the newspaper was the core of this!!
Although the behind-the-scenes mastermind did not hesitate to kill Ma Jing, the other party probably never thought that a yellowed newspaper at the bottom of the cabinet — — a clue that even Ma Jing herself might have forgotten (normal people would not remember where they put a newspaper 20 years ago), directly opened a brand-new door for Fang Linyan!
After searching again, Fang Linyan could basically confirm that there was nothing valuable here, so he walked out directly.
At this time, Ma Hong was nervously checking the banknotes one by one with the banknote counting machine outside! After seeing Fang Linyan, she suddenly smiled awkwardly, but the movements in her hands didn't stop at all.
However, Fang Linyan walked in front of Ma Hong, sighed, and said,
"I didn't find the collateral, but when I came here, I heard that if Aunt Ma Jing didn't find it here, then the item should be given away by her. If you can help me find this accessory, I can give you another 3,000 yuan."
Ma Hong, who had already gotten the money, was already indifferent to Fang Linyan. At the same time, there was contempt in her eyes.
Because she felt that she had already crushed this prodigal in IQ — — If she raised such a fool, she would be so angry that she would hang herself.
However, when she heard 3,000 yuan, a sincere smile suddenly bloomed on her face,
"Yes, yes, yes! Of course! Tell me what that thing looks like. "
Fang Linyan said,
"It's just an ordinary small pendant in the shape of a gourd. I even cracked it in the middle. The color is green with a little white."
Ma Hong immediately said,
"I'll find it for you now."
Then she ran upstairs. The final result was of course that she couldn't find it.
Fang Linyan said at this time,
"I just made a phone call. I heard from the neighbor that your sister gave the item to another woman. She is about forty years old. Her reputation is a bit bad. It seems that she gave birth to a child before getting married. Her mental state is not very normal."
Ma Hong was at a loss. In the end, she could only admit frankly,
"Well, in fact, I usually don't have much contact with my sister. Give me 2 days, I will definitely find this person."
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
"No problem, I'll prepare the money and wait for you."
Then he left his phone number to Ma Hong.
After Ma Hong left, Fang Linyan assigned a task to Mai Yong. Of course, it was to investigate the girl back then. The girl's experience was all in the newspaper at that time.
The newspaper 20 years ago was not so easy to get in, so the matter must have been a bit big. In this case, as long as he was willing to spend money to investigate, he could still get some useful information.
At this time, Mai Yong's wide network of contacts was once again displayed. After spending a lot of money, news came back one after another,
"This girl's surname is Fang, her name is Fang Ting."
Hearing this news, even Fang Linyan, who had been mentally prepared, took a deep breath.
"Her pregnancy back then was very strange. The three hospitals that examined her all found that Fang Ting's * x was intact."
"After being pregnant, Fang Ting's mind was not clear."
"20 years ago, Ma Jing was still living in the collective dormitory in Badong County. Someone did see a pregnant woman coming to look for her at night, and more than one person had seen it, indicating that the 2 had a close relationship."
After Fang Linyan and the others returned to Badong County, someone actually came to Mai Yong's nightclub. The person who came was the sister-in-law of the dead Zhang Kun. Her name was Li Lan. She was holding Yaya's hand with a flattering smile on her face. At first glance, she was a shrewd and unscrupulous woman.
The purpose of coming was actually very simple, complaining about being poor.
The sister-in-law had the shrewdness unique to rural women. Her logic was very simple. A rich man who was willing to give his niece 500 yuan a month would definitely not mind giving another 20 yuan a month.
His sister-in-law had even thought about the distribution of the 20 yuan. 19 yuan would be used to buy meat for her son. 1 yuan, no! 50 yuan to buy a bowl of tofu pudding for his niece, then drink half of it himself and give the rest to his niece.
The other 50 yuan to let the dead man in the family smoke 2 more cigarettes.
Of course, her excuse to Fang Linyan was that her niece was not in good health recently, so she wanted to make 2 more eggs for her every day.
Seeing a person like Li Lan, Fang Linyan knew that it was very wise to only give Yaya 500 yuan a month. If he gave more, it would not help her, but harm her!
The sister-in-law's plan was directly seen through by Fang Linyan, so his reply was to let Yaya come to Mai Yong's place for breakfast every morning. Boss Mag would also settle the trivial matter of Yaya coming to the county primary school 100 meters away from the nightclub to study.
Such a way of dealing with it directly made the sister-in-law, a rural woman, very frustrated. Her disappointment was overflowing. Fang Linyan said lightly at this time.
"I give Yaya money because her father helped me a lot. If you want my money, then you have to help me."
Li Lan let out an "ah" and opened her mouth. Looking at Fang Linyan's fair face and serious eyes, a bold idea suddenly came into her mind. She blushed and said shyly,
"This, I have to think about it."
Fang Linyan,
“.....”
Fortunately, Mai Qiang still had some eyesight, so he said with a straight face,
"I asked you to tell me what's special about Zhang Kun usually, and you also have to think about it?"
Li Lan let out an "ah". No one knew if she was a little disappointed or a little regretful. The way she looked at Fang Linyan was clearly saying, "This child is too narrow-minded."
