Chapter 96 A Lost Photo

Seeing things and missing people is a ghost!

Bao Quanan probably thought about the money in Qi Huan's father's pocket more than he thought about Bao Lanlan.

The three of them entered the house, and Bao Quan'an immediately ran to the storage room. When the glass of ice soda in front of Shen Ke had reached the bottom, he dug out a small brown suitcase full of logos.

One corner of the box was crushed, covered with dust, and traces of being wiped just now could be seen.

Shen Ke glanced at the box, and then at an upright piano placed against the wall in the room. There was a photo on the piano. Bao Quanan was holding a little boy, and a young and beautiful woman was sitting next to him. There are no photos of Bao Lanlan in the house.

Bao Quanan put the small suitcase on the ground with some embarrassment, "It's all here. Her mother packed it. Alas, so many years have passed. Speaking of which, Qi Huan and Lan Lan were still good friends. .”

"When something like that happened back then, I always wanted to go to the door to say thank you and apologize, but I never had the chance."

He was in the building materials business. At that time, Qi Huan's father was very popular in Nanjiang. He visited several times, but was turned down. When we met later, the Qi family also looked like they didn't want to mention old things.

This time it was good, Qi Huan took the initiative and came to the door.

Bao Quanan thought about it and looked at Shen Ke secretly. Seeing her expressionless face and looking like she was about to draw a gun and kill the person at any moment, he stopped thinking about the Kehui Group.

Bao Quanan quickly opened the suitcase and looked at Qi Huan's smile getting hotter.

Shen Ke was too lazy to pay attention to these things and looked straight into the suitcase. The suitcase was full of stuff, including the baby's lanugo footprints, a birth certificate, some medals won by Bao Lanlan's swimming competition, and a toy bear. and several thick photo albums.

Shen Ke looked at it and took the latest one.

More than half of the photo album has been used, and the remaining three or two pages are blank. Bao Lanlan obviously likes photography and has traveled to many places.

Shen Ke turned straight to the end. The photo showed the time, which was taken on May Day, the year Bao Lanlan died.

Shen Ke put the photo album on the coffee table, and Qi Huan and Li Yuan also came over.

The background of the photo is an earthy old house, the kind of old house made of mud bricks from the past. There is a main room in the middle, with a bedroom on each side, and a small kitchen on the far side. In the past, Very common in rural areas.

Bao Lanlan, with her long black hair hanging behind her head, stood next to a hand-pushed stone mill, pretending to grind it and then took this photo.

"There are other people in the room. It must be that time they went to the old house in the mountain village for a party." Shen Ke pointed to the main room. At the Eight Immortals table in the middle, there were several people crowded together, but none of them could see their faces. Only the back.

"Mark! Shen Ke, that's the mark!" Qi Huan looked towards the main room and suddenly became excited, "On the threshold."

It was a round mark with twisted lines inside. It looked like snakes or earthworms. There was nothing special about it.

There are more than one single photo of Bao Lanlan, some taken in the field, and some taken in the bamboo forest in the back mountain. She is smiling and has no frightened expression, as if she was on an ordinary spring outing.

Shen Ke continued to flip through the pages, but there were two photo albums stuck together.

Shen Ke frowned and carefully pulled the album apart. Everyone's expressions changed when they saw it.

The photo album was stuck together because there was blood dripping on it.

In the past, photo albums were all of this loose-leaf insert type, and the laminated ones were not commonly used. The plastic transparent grids of fixed sizes have been divided, and you only need to insert the developed photos into them. It is very convenient.

Bao Lanlan's photo album is the kind that can hold two photos on the left and right sides. When the album is unfolded, you can see a total of four photos.

Except for the one in the upper left corner, the other three are still there, and they all appear to be photos of Bao Lanlan and the villagers.

"It should have been cut by a knife. There was blood on the knife and it dripped on it. Someone took the photo away and then closed the album. After the blood dried, the two pages of the album were glued together. .”

Bao Quanan on the side was confused, "What's going on? Who took the photo away? We didn't even look at it, and we didn't know there was such a thing."

Qi Huan looked at Bao Quanan solemnly, "We want Bao Lanlan's relics, can we take them to the bureau for testing?"

Bao Quanan came to his senses and nodded, "Of course! It would be great to be able to help Mr. Qi!"

He accentuated the word "Mr. Xiao Qi" hard, making it sound like he was gritting his teeth.

Shen Ke ignored his thoughts and asked unwillingly, "Is Bao Lanlan's camera still there? Where did she put her photo albums before?"

Bao Quanan smiled coquettishly, "How come it's been so many years, how can I still keep a camera? As for photo albums, I was busy with work at that time, so I didn't know these details. Her mother left early, and she usually Auntie will take her."

Then my aunt died too.

After getting the things, the three of them didn't stay much longer. The atmosphere after getting in the car was much heavier than when they arrived.

"Didn't the forensics search reveal this photo album?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Although he also knew that it was unnecessary to take off his pants and fart, if the search revealed it, it would be written down in the file.

The smile disappeared from Qi Huan's face, "This was not the main direction of the investigation back then. Shen Ke, you are right again. How could a girl like Bao Lanlan not take photos when traveling?"

"Especially for this kind of offline gathering of netizens, group photos will definitely be taken. There is a photo missing from Bao Lanlan's album. It should be that the group photo was taken away and destroyed by the murderer."

Shen Ke nodded, "What's so special about the photo? The photo captured the so-called Zhu Ni...and maybe Qiongqi."

Shen Ke said and paused, "Are those three gangsters still there?"

Qi Huan's face turned even worse. He shook his head, "No more. The three of them committed crimes in various places. Their crimes were terrible. Two of them were sentenced to death, and one fell ill and died while in prison. After they are all dead, I I also went to tell Zhang Peiming."

Shen Ke frowned and his eyes moved, "What about the old policeman who found Qiongqi back then? Can you still find him?"

Qi Huan's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily, "Okay!"

"There is something gained here. At least we are sure that there is something fishy about this case and we can continue to pursue it. We went to Qiongqi and asked Xiaomeng to check the ID of the Haijiao forum's nonsense section to see if we can still find it. Find information about others who were involved at the time."

Li Yuan, who finally found a gap to interject, scratched his head, "I don't understand why the murderer went to all the trouble to kill Bao Lanlan? The little girl didn't provoke him!

Could it be that the missing photo was not a group photo, but some incriminating evidence that the little girl accidentally took?"

"She didn't know it was incriminating evidence, and she got into trouble as a result."

Shen Ke listened and nodded thoughtfully, "If he was not interested in drinking, what if the person he wanted to kill was not Bao Lanlan but Zhang Peiming?"

"After all, Zhang Peiming's father, who is now Director Zhang, was the one who captured Zhu Nu."
