"There are only two possibilities for this person: first, they work in an orphanage, and second, a hospital!"
"I understand, because only these two places can provide information about a child's parents. But there are so many people who kill cows in China, wouldn't he have to search the entire country..."
"No, there must be a connection between these incidents. We have to find it to understand the killer's true intentions."
At this moment, Xiao Yuande from the Information Technology department also said, "I recently visited the relatives of several children and Captain Liu's parents. Before Liu Dahai became wealthy, he once went to India, the birthplace of Buddhism."
"No way?" He Xin said, typing furiously on her keyboard, and soon reported, "Found it! The parents of those children had all been to ancient India, and the timing matches Liu Dahai's trip!"
"It seems we have to go to India," I said excitedly.
I asked Xiahou and Xiao Yuande to accompany me. Before departing, I sought permission from Director Huang and informed Director Zhang. Finally, I went to the hospital.
I sat on the chair in the ward, facing Liu Yuning who was still unconscious.
"Yuning, don't worry, I will definitely find the murderer of your parents and clear your name! You just rest here quietly and wait for my good news. I hope that when I return from India this time, I can see you recovered and speaking to me!"
I clasped Liu Yuning's hand, kissed her tiger's mouth deeply, closed my eyes, and took a deep breath...
All I can do now is pray for her, hoping she recovers soon.
"Yuning, do you remember? How solitary and introverted I used to be, with no friends at school. The first time we met was in a class. Professor Huo was lecturing on forensic psychology. You had probably self-studied and seemed very familiar with it, so you weren't paying attention and Professor Huo called on you. You were fearless and answered fluently. That's when I started noticing you. You were the most suitable person in the entire department to be a detective.
Later, we met again at a class reunion. You were very arrogant then. You disdained any male, well, I mean male, and even looked down on girls. I thought to myself, this is the first time I've met someone so full of herself.
But for some reason, you walked up to me, holding a glass of red wine, and in a seemingly respectful tone, said, 'Are you He Jianquan's grandson?'
I was a bit surprised that someone here knew my grandfather's name. Before I could answer, you continued, 'Your father is He Guanghui, right?'
Being questioned like that, I had no choice but to nod and make a shushing gesture, telling you not to speak loudly. At that moment, you actually smiled at me. I was greatly surprised because it was the first time I had ever seen you smile.
I had been noticing you for some time. In my memory, you never smiled at anyone, but you actually smiled at me.
I can't describe your smile, but my former solitude and introversion were instantly melted away. You took my hand and led me to where everyone else was. I thought you were going to reveal my identity to everyone. Fortunately, you didn't. What you said to the classmates was, 'Hello everyone, this is He Sheng, he's my good friend! Please talk to him more!'
I didn't know when I became your good friend. You were too quick to make friends. I was a bit stunned at the time, but many people immediately looked at me with approval and envy, and slowly gathered around. Yuning, I saw that you seemed quite proud at the time.
After that, I became more cheerful, a little more sunny than before. Every time there was an autopsy, you would deliberately come to our department to learn, because I liked looking at corpses, and you also liked anatomy.
Because I liked chemistry, liked Sherlock Holmes, and liked being alone, you gradually started to love this kind of life just like me.
Although we had disagreements after starting work, and even often bet, I knew it was for my own good. You didn't want me to be arrogant and disrespectful because I was the grandson of the 'God of Judgment,' but rather you were spurring me on, reminding me that there were many people in the world stronger than myself.
Alright, I have to go. I need to go to India. Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this case!"
After saying this, I stood up. I didn't want to stay until morning, as it would affect my work. The hospital also had rules that patients should be looked after by nurses at night, and family members could go home first.
Returning to the dormitory, I packed my things and put away my luggage. I originally didn't want He Xin to come along, but this woman actually invited Zhang Keying too, which left me speechless.
But it was fine. Since that was the case, I might as well invite Xie Chuchu as well.
The next day, Gao Mingqiang was going to the north to handle some personal matters and didn't accompany us. So, our group of six set off for India.
Given the long distance, driving was naturally out of the question. We bought plane tickets and after several hours of flying, we arrived on Indian territory. According to He Xin's earlier investigation, Liu Dahai and the parents of several children had gone to Kapilavastu, which is now within Nepal.
It is said that Buddhism has existed for over two thousand five hundred years, founded by Gautama Siddhartha. Western countries generally believe that Buddhism originated in India, and India itself is making efforts to cultivate an image as a "Buddhist holy land." This has led many people to mistakenly believe that Buddha was born in India, which has always caused dissatisfaction among the Nepalese people.
Upon arriving in Nepal, we transferred to a small town located at the southern foothills of the Himalayas. It borders China to the north and India on the other three sides. In the early 13th century, the Malla dynasty rose to power and vigorously promoted Hinduism. In 1768, the Shah dynasty emerged and gradually unified the country. Buddhism also arose around this time.
This place is surrounded by desert. It was our first time here, and we all felt a bit unwell. Fortunately, we felt much better after taking some anti-diarrheal medication.
We found a hotel in the desert. On the way, Xiahou said to He Xin and the others, "Nepal practices polyandry. You women would be happy in this country!"
"Haha, I'm afraid I couldn't handle it. Do you know, Xiahou, Nepal is a very simple country, but due to its geographical location, its resources are relatively scarce, with little land available for living and development. Therefore, it is one of the least developed countries in the world."
"Yes, it feels like we've arrived in a slum here."
With Gao Mingqiang gone, I felt that Xiahou had become much more talkative now.
