"Professor Cui, then... What happened after you brought your father back? "
Lee Zhaowen asked softly, afraid of touching the old man's sore spot again.
Professor Cui wiped his tears and looked apologetically at Faang Cheng and the others.
"After bringing my father back, he looked no different from usual, only … It felt a lot younger, but … Gradually, our health is getting worse and worse. I often feel very tired, very tired, my body is inexplicably uncomfortable, but I don't know where there is a problem! My wife, Bi Yun, is getting worse and weaker until … The day he went crazy, he had never shown his face again after killing Bi Yun! Ever since then, I've seen cases happen one after another on TV. I do suspect that those cases are related to him, but … I don't have the guts or the standing to walk into the police station … "
"So you're saying... Your niece has leukemia, and it is very likely to be related to your father! "
Faang Cheng said.
"Of course!"
Professor Cui nodded affirmatively.
"Professor Cui, I don't know … Do you have a picture of your father? We would like to see … "
Faang Cheng made a small request:
"Yes, please wait a moment. I'll show it to you!"
Professor Cui stood up and entered his bedroom. He took out an album that seemed to be quite old. Then, he handed it to Faang Cheng.
"This is my father's album …"
"Okay, thanks!"
Faang Cheng thanked him and looked at the photo album. He opened the first page and saw an enlarged picture of a man. The background seemed to be a school. Below it was written in a neat pen:
"Cui Zhixing, officially retired in 2000!"
The man in this photo was the man who carried Xiao Han away from the video provided by Xiao Han's father. He was an eighty year old man, but his looks … but it's about the same age as the sixty in this picture. Faang Cheng was thinking, at that moment … What had Cui Zhixing become?
While Faang Cheng was thinking about something, he heard Wu Yun asking Professor Cui.
"Professor Cui, I also want to ask you something. When Teacher Cui fainted on his eightieth birthday …" What is he doing? "
This was a very important question. Faang Cheng looked at Wu Yun admiringly. He suddenly felt that Wu Yun had more potential to be a cop than him!
"When you fainted? "Faint …"
It had been more than half a month since Cui laoshi's eightieth birthday. Professor Cui could not immediately remember what his father was doing when he fainted!
"I …" I really don't remember! I only remember … That day, my father was very happy. A second before he fainted, he was still happily laughing, and then right after that … He fainted! "
"Laughing happily? Are you happy? "Why are you so happy?"
Wu Yun caught on to the main point in Professor Cui's words and couldn't help but ask,
"Why are you happy? "Why did you come here …"
Professor Cui was getting a little anxious from the question. He pushed the glasses on his nose and tried hard to remember what happened that day.
"Since it's a birthday celebration, then if you are very happy …" Someone must have given a present to Cui laoshi, or said something to make a good birthday present! "
Lee Zhaowen interrupted. He had awakened Professor Cui from his dream with a single sentence.
"Right, right right …" I remember! Someone gave my father a birthday present, and he really liked it! I remember when... There was a student of my father's who was said to be an antique dealer who had developed very well. He seemed to have brought a very old gift to my father, and after my father opened the gift, he was very happy, and then … He fainted! "
"An age gift?"
Faang Cheng was stunned and turned to look at Wu Yun and Lee Zhaowen. They seemed to have seen the crux of the matter and felt that... The key point was in the present that the student gave to Cui Xianzi!
"What kind of gift? Where is it now? "
Faang Cheng hurriedly turned his head and asked,
"It's a bottle shaped pendant, worn with a black string, about … The size of a thumb! It was said that … I don't really understand antiques, my father doesn't really understand either, but that small bottle was crafted meticulously and had a good meaning. Furthermore, it was specially prepared by his student, so my father happily accepted it. He put it on his own neck at that time. "Not long after he put on that pendant, my father fainted!
Professor Cui finally remembered the scene and quickly told Faang Cheng and the others,
"Could it be … What does my father's matter have to do with that little pendant? "
Professor Cui asked curiously.
"It's possible, but we're not sure yet! Professor Cui, do you have any way to contact that student who gave your father the pendant? "
Faang Cheng asked with a serious expression.
"Oh, there is. Because I am in charge of the matters regarding the eightieth birthday, I have the contact details of all the guests! "Let me find it for you …"
Professor Cui took out a notebook from the bottom drawer of the TV cabinet. There were many phone numbers written on it. He carefully searched through them and finally found a phone.
"This student of my father's is called Zhang Mingyuan. This is his number!"
Professor Cui handed his notebook to Faang Cheng.
"Mm, alright, I'll take a photo!"
Faang Cheng looked at Lee Zhaowen. Lee Zhaowen quickly took out his phone to take a picture of Zhang Mingyuan's phone.
"Alright, Professor Cui. It's already 12. I'm sorry for delaying you for so long, and I thank you for your cooperation …"
Faang Cheng stood up and said politely to Professor Cui.
Professor Cui also stood up and looked at Faang Cheng … Yet, he did not say anything for a long time!
"Professor Cui, you …"
Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, but was unable to say it, Faang Cheng said softly,
"Officer Fang, if I trouble you to find my father …" "That monster, please contact me …"
After all, they were father and son, how could they not care? Furthermore … Professor Cui probably knew in his heart that these things … Perhaps not from his father himself!
"Alright, I promise you!"
Faang Cheng held Professor Cui's hand.
"Then we... I will take my leave, there's no need for you to send me off! "
As Professor Cui watched Faang Cheng and the other two leave his home, suddenly … He seemed to feel his body becoming stronger. He looked at his hands in confusion, then … Then, he raised his head to look at the door that Faang Cheng and co. left from …
The three of them walked out of Professor Cui's building. Lee Zhaowen turned around and looked at Faang Cheng.
"Bro, what do you think that pendant is?"
"I don't know. I don't know what kind of thing can make people actively absorb other people's spirit energy!" But that thing was an ancient item! Right now, we need to find this Zhang Mingyuan and find out exactly what he gave to Cui laoshi! Since he's an antique dealer, then he should have a clear understanding of the origins of the items! "
Faang Cheng was also an antique dealer, so he knew that this antique dealer had to figure out the origins of what they were collecting. Even if it was a black market antique dealer, he still wouldn't dare to casually take anything!
"Alright, let's go find that Zhang Mingyuan!"
