The surgery was over, and I was exhausted. I decided to leave everything to my assistant.
Back home, I uploaded the photos I took today onto my computer and examined them closely. At that moment, the boy and girl appeared so innocent and pure.
My gaze kept shifting between Xiao Ruoan and Wu Nan until suddenly, Wu Nan's smile caught my attention. I clicked to zoom in and clearly saw a prominent canine tooth peeking out at the corner of Wu Nan's mouth.
Moreover, the position of that tooth was identical to that of Xiao Ruohui, who had been lying in the Processing Room that day. It's important to note that aside from bones, teeth are another hard part of the body that cannot be easily changed or coincidentally matched.
This was just the tip of the iceberg. I dialed the number from Lin Kai's phone, and after a brief conversation, I realized for the first time how closely intertwined destinies could be.
Sitting on the soft sofa in Cheng Luoning's office, I couldn't help but think: I seemed to have never met someone so frequently.
Cheng Luoning still looked like a refined gentleman. His gaze remained gentle, though slightly surprised. "Junqing? What's wrong?" It felt strange to hear Cheng Luoning call me that, but before secrets were revealed, who would care about such things?
"I've figured out where the problem lies. Can you help me contact someone in New York to find out where Xiao Ruohui is? Or at least send me a fax of his photo."
Cheng Luoning was always willing to help me. He made a few calls and promised to inform me as soon as he had results.
I had a knack for reading people—whether in life or death. Cheng Luoning did not disappoint; he found a classmate of Xiao Ruohui from his university days in New York, who sent over a graduation photo via fax.
Cheng Luoning confirmed that the person who handled the inheritance procedures with Xiao Ruoan that day was not the real Xiao Ruohui.
He also discovered death records indicating that Xiao Ruohui had died from a drug overdose in his apartment three years ago. At that time, the police notified the Xiao family to collect the body and sign necessary documents. The person who came to do so was Xiao Ruoan. And all of this had been kept hidden until now.
Cheng Luoning told me that Old Xiao's will had been established five years ago, and the two heirs must inherit the estate simultaneously; otherwise, everything would be donated. Therefore, no matter what, Xiao Ruohui must be alive.
No wonder over the years, the son had not contacted his father directly but only through his indifferent sister. So now, the identity of the person who fell from the building became clearer; otherwise, he wouldn't have landed face down, resulting in such a disfigured appearance.
Wu Nan—this name suddenly and clearly flashed in my mind like a bolt of lightning. A mere driver wouldn't just be replaced like that; perhaps my father's illness was real, but returning to his hometown was not necessarily true.
I visited the agency again, and fortunately, Wu Nan's photo was still hanging on the wall. The glass case wasn't locked, so I easily took the photo down and slipped it into my wallet.
There was no need for DNA verification; Cheng Luoning clearly remembered that these days' Xiao Ruohui was indeed the somewhat honest-looking Wu Nan in the photo.
Everything was as I expected!
"Call the police." My decisiveness and calmness still didn't frighten Cheng Luoning. "Junqing, are you sure?"
"Yes." He must have been thinking what a little girl like me could possibly understand.
When someone thinks another person lacks intelligence, it's often just because their face is in the way.
I pulled Cheng Luoning back to my office and took out the purple substance I had extracted from beneath the fingernails of the corpse that had fallen.
"This is one piece of evidence."
Cheng Luoning looked at me in confusion. Well then, I might as well recount this story that didn't belong to me once more.
Xiao Ruoan must have started her plan a long time ago.
It is clear that Xiao Ruohui is definitely an honest person.
