I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

"Oh... I have indeed recently uncovered some information about the murderer, so I wanted to make a routine inquiry."

Nanpu Niandao.

As he spoke, he glanced at the innermost room next to the balcony, whose door was tightly closed.

Although the neighborhood is old, the interior space is quite large; the Huang family has a total of four rooms.

The doors to three of the rooms were wide open, but the key to one room was still in the lock, suggesting that it was rarely occupied.

Because of the police's verification, Xiong Daixue and her daughter believed Nan Punian's words without a doubt. "Officer, please ask us any questions. As long as we can catch the murderer as soon as possible, we will definitely cooperate!"

"Your name is Huang Xinxin, right? It seems you changed your name before starting kindergarten? Was your previous name Huang Beibei?"

Nan Punian looked at Huang Xinxin and asked.

Huang Xinxin was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Nanpu to suddenly ask this question at the annual meeting. Although she didn't understand what her name change had to do with the murderer, she still nodded.

"Why did you suddenly think of changing your name? Beibei sounds nice too."

Nanpu asked again.

Huang Xinxin's expression grew increasingly strange. "I don't know either..."

She was too young then to remember.

"Does Ms. Xiong remember?"

Nan Punian looked at Xiong Daixue.

Xiong Daixue met Nan Punian's eyes, and whether out of guilt or something else, she gave a dry laugh: "I don't remember either, officer. Didn't you come to ask about the murderer? It shouldn't have anything to do with what Xin Xin's name is, right?"

Nan Punian took a deep breath, no longer wanting to hide anything, and stared at Xiong Daixue, saying, "I'm from Hangzhou, my surname is Nan. I have a relative who went missing twenty years ago at the First People's Hospital of Hangzhou..."

Nan Shu noticed that after hearing these words, Xiong Daixue's smile froze completely.

"Xin Xin, go back to your room."

Xiong Daixue's voice trembled as she said this.

The tone was unusually serious, which startled Huang Xinxin. She wanted to whine, "Mom~" She had never experienced police investigations before and wanted to see more. What a rare experience!
"Get in!"

Xiong Daixue rebuked him sternly.

Huang Xinxin was startled. Even when she did poorly on her exams before, her parents had never spoken to her in such a stern tone. Her eyes reddened, and she felt embarrassed in front of outsiders. She was both angry and upset. "Fine, I'll go in."

After saying that, she rushed into the room, slammed the door shut, and locked it.

Nan Punian frowned, but didn't say anything.

For Huang Xinxin, she is now a stranger to the police.

"Officer Nan, since you've come looking for us, let's get straight to the point."

Xiong Daixue sighed deeply. As the sun set, the sunlight inside the room gradually disappeared, and she seemed to age four or five years in an instant, her back and waist slumping.

"Is Xin Xin me...?"

Since that's the case, Nan Punian didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

But before he could finish speaking, Xiong Daixue interrupted him.

"No."

She knew what Nan Punian was going to ask.

"no?"

Nan Punian frowned deeply.

“Xin Xin is my biological daughter,” Xiong Daixue said, looking at Nan Punian, word by word.

impossible!
Nan Punian subconsciously retorted in his mind.

Having been a detective for many years and interrogated so many people, Nan Punian could tell that Xiong Daixue wasn't lying. This filled Nan Punian with panic and helplessness. If Huang Xinxin wasn't his sister, then Xi Nian...

"Please come with me, both of you."

Xiong Daixue pursed her lips tightly.

As she spoke, she stood up and walked toward the only locked room.

Nan Punian didn't move; he was scared. It was Nan Shu who nudged his shoulder, and Nan Punian snapped out of his daze and turned to look at her.

Her lips moved slightly, "Xiao Shu, I..."

"Regardless of the outcome, what's done is done. It's the final push. Do you, South Team, want to give up?"

Nan Shu asked.

Nan Punian pursed his lips and stood up.

Nan Shu followed behind him, watching his almost unsteady gait, and sighed softly.

Twenty-two years! So much has changed in the past.

In particular, at the beginning, Nan Punian came with the hope that Huang Xinxin was Nan Xinian and that Nan Xinian was not dead.

Now that Xiong Daixue has suddenly said this, my hopes are shattered, how could I not be disappointed?

Looking at Nan Punian's appearance, Xiong Daixue's face revealed a complex emotion, as if she felt both guilty and relieved. She pushed open the door.

The room wasn't big; you could see the whole place at a glance.

The shrine, memorial tablet, offerings, incense... and the black-and-white portrait of the girl who looked only five or six years old, all seemed to tell Nan Punian the fact that his sister was no longer alive.

Nan Punian felt his legs suddenly become as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them no matter what. His soul seemed to leave his body, and his eyes were fixed on the memorial tablet.

The inscription reads: "Memorial tablet for my beloved daughter, Huang Beibei."

The signatures are Huang Jiahao and Xiong Daixue.

"Beibei...is very well-behaved and adorable. She was already babbling when she was only six months old..."

Looking at the girl's portrait, Xiong Daixue recalled, "Back then, during the family planning period, although the supervision in Guangcheng was not very strict, in order not to be found out, Ahao and I claimed to the outside world that we were four months pregnant. When the time came, we went to register Beibei's birth."

"But……"

Xiong Daixue paused, "But I didn't expect that just two days before I was going to register my child's birth, I would actually get pregnant."

How could the couple not be overjoyed?!

The two went to Hangzhou seeking medical treatment, but when they learned that there was no cure, they were heartbroken. Xiong Daixue even considered divorcing her husband so that he could find another woman, so as not to let the Huang family's lineage end.

Huang Jiahao caught this idea.

It's important to understand that in those days, most families still arranged marriages without the couple knowing each other. It was a little better than in ancient times, where people would meet two or three times before getting married, but they didn't really know each other well. They would just get married if the person seemed okay to them.

As for what married life will be like, it's almost no different from opening a blind box.

However, Huang Jiahao and Xiong Daixue developed their relationship independently and got together because of love. After realizing his wife's feelings, Huang Jiahao took her to see the obstetrics department so as not to make her think too much.

As soon as they arrived, they saw a pregnant woman being wheeled into the emergency room.

The couple overheard that the woman already had three children.

Huang Jiahao thought to himself at the time.

It's unfair that other families are about to welcome their fourth child, while he and his wife have no children.

Suddenly, some other thoughts arose in my mind.

Especially when he saw the child being pushed out of the incubator, Huang Jiahao was immediately delighted after just one glance.

A thought just naturally popped into her head: She already has so many children, giving them one shouldn't be a big deal, right? (End of Chapter)
