008: Alzheimer’s Disease and Work Notes (2 Updates)

After 29 years, it is normal for the police officer responsible for this matter to retire.

It was probably Tang Hongen who requested a re-investigation five years ago.

Lao Tang had not yet gone to work in Pengcheng at that time.

However, the investigation five years ago was obviously fruitless. Since then, Lao Tang can only shelve the matter temporarily.

The wound has healed, and you can pretend it doesn't hurt without touching it. This is why Zhou Cheng and Xia Xiaolan went behind Tang Hongen's back to investigate on their own first. If there is no progress, don’t poke Lao Tang’s heart——

Zhou Cheng found some connections and saw the files from that year.

In 1959, the police station was still very responsible, and the files of cases that were not solved that year are still preserved to this day.

The person in charge of the case at that time was a police officer Chen. The old man is in his 60s and has retired long ago. Zhou Cheng asked for the address and came to the door with Xia Xiaolan.

At the door of the family building, Xia Xiaolan unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

"Ma Suo, do you live here too?"

The world is really small. Xia Xiaolan met Director Ma of Xidan Police Station.

Director Ma once had a good impression of Liu Fen.

Director Ma was a suitor who looked fierce but was actually silently guarding. He did not last long in the hands of Tang Hongen, a love rival who seemed gentle but was domineering and full of tricks. In the end, he quit voluntarily and gracefully - there was no need to quit. No, Liu Fen understood her feelings after accompanying Tang Hongen to Jiya's wedding, and made it clear to Director Ma when she returned to Beijing from Pengcheng.

Later, Liu Fen and Tang Hongen got married, and Xia Xiaolan went abroad as an exchange student. The mother and daughter did not stay in the capital for much time, and they were naturally estranged from Director Ma.

Xia Xiaolan was really surprised to meet Director Ma in front of Chen Gongan's house.

Director Ma was also surprised. He had a fat face and looked a bit fierce, but he was actually a very nice person.

"We used to call him Uncle Ma, but now we call him Ma Suo?"

Xia Xiaolan immediately changed her name to Uncle Ma and pointed at Zhou Cheng: "Uncle Ma, this is my lover Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng, this is Director Ma from Xidan Police Station."

Director Ma glanced at Zhou Cheng and said, "Yes, the young man looks very energetic. He is from the army, right?"

The difference between ordinary people and soldiers cannot be concealed from police officers like Ma Suo.

Zhou Cheng nodded and shook hands with Director Ma, "I heard Xiaolan say before that I never found a chance to thank you for your care of her and my mother-in-law!"

Director Ma waved his hand, "What's there to thank you for for a little favor? You guys are here to find someone?"

Director Ma is also a free and easy man. He failed in his pursuit of Liu Fen and did not turn against her.

Xia Xiaolan said she was looking for retired Public Security Officer Chen. Director Ma sighed:

"Is there an old case and I'm looking for clues from him? Come in, just don't be disappointed."

Xia Xiaolan's heart moved, "You and Mr. Chen——"

"He is my uncle. We are a big family, and there are quite a few police officers!"

Director Ma gave a simple explanation.

Xia Xiaolan thought it was such a coincidence.

But what Director Ma said was very reasonable. The younger generations are very easily affected by whatever occupation the elders in the family are engaged in. There are also state-owned factories, where three generations of old, middle-aged and young people all contribute to the same factory, and the whole family is scattered in different positions in the factory!

Today is the weekend, Director Ma came to see Chen Gongan and his wife.

He skillfully took out the key and opened the door. In the living room, an old man was sitting in a wheelchair, listening to Peking Opera on the radio - this was Director Ma's uncle, retired Public Security Officer Chen. He was very happy to see Director Ma coming:

"Zhenxing, did you bring your friends here today? I asked your aunt to buy you some popsicles!"

Old man, are you serious?

Invite her and Zhou Cheng to eat popsicles?

The old man is very serious. As a retired police officer, his temper is actually not very good.

It means that there is a problem with cognition, and one is sometimes sober and sometimes confused when speaking.

Ma Zhenxing was also helpless and whispered to Xia Xiaolan, "The doctor said it was Alzheimer's disease. This disease is too cruel. My uncle solved many cases when he was young and taught me a lot!"

Xia Xiaolan felt heavy after hearing this.

Alzheimer's disease?

Not only was she regretful that she might not be able to find any useful clues, but the disease itself was very... Well, it seemed that today was destined to be a failure.

Zhou Cheng asked her to be patient, "We are not afraid of making more trips. When Mr. Chen is awake, we can always get some useful clues."

It turns out that Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen are childless. Now Mr. Chen is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Aunt Ma Zhenxing and Mr. Chen are about the same age. They can't take care of their wife alone, so their relatives agree to take turns to take care of them and do all the hard work at home. Now, the old lady only has to cook for Mr. Chen, which is much easier.

In this world, some people are unlucky enough to meet the best relatives, while others are lucky enough to have harmonious relatives and friends.

When Aunt Ma Zhenxing came back, she found that there were two more young people in the house.

Although he came to ask his wife about something, Ma Zhenxing also knew him. Ma Zhenxing wanted to help his uncle take a bath, and Zhou Cheng took the initiative to help. The old lady liked the two of them very much:

"I have an impression of the case you want to ask about. A few years ago, before Lao Chen was sick, someone came to the house to ask about the case. It has been a few years, and I thought your family had given up on searching. You wait, I'll go Look for it.”

Aunt Ma Zhenxing went to look for her wife's work notes.

Mr. Chen has the habit of keeping a diary. He has been a police officer for many years. He will record in a diary any unsolved cases or special cases he has encountered. He does not have the ability to predict the future and knows that he will

Suffering from Alzheimer's disease is a kind of summary of work. I am afraid that I will forget those cases that cannot be solved for a while... It is a responsibility for hard work. In this era, there are not many people like Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen was alternately sober and confused. Xia Xiaolan and Zhou Cheng obviously missed the trip today, and the old man didn't say a few sober words.

But the old lady dug out the notes.

This case is neither big nor small. A little girl was missing on the National Day military parade in 1959. The time of the incident was quite special. Someone re-investigated the matter five years ago. Public Security Bureau Chen wrote two detailed notes.

One was written 29 years ago, and the other was compiled 5 years ago.

"Five years ago, someone came to ask Lao Chen, and Lao Chen also wanted to help. At that time, his mind was still clear, but his health was not good. The notes he compiled were of no use in the end. If you still want to find someone, Lao Chen is like this I can’t help you much, I only have these two notes for you.”

The old lady thrust the notebook into Xia Xiaolan's hand. The notebook itself was not heavy, but it had another inexplicable heavy weight.

"I took it to make a copy. Please return the original to you. After all, this is Mr. Chen's work record, and it means a lot to you."

The old lady was stunned and didn't object.

After staying at Chen's house for a while, Ma Zhenxing couldn't help but ask when he went downstairs:

"Who are you looking for? A relative of the family?"

Xia Xiaolan nodded, "She is my Uncle Tang's lost little sister. Oh, Uncle Tang has already been with my mother..."

Okay, stop talking, it hurts my heart!

Ma Zhenxing knew who the "Uncle Tang" in Xia Xiaolan's mouth was!
