"Tattoo?" Qiu Sishui broke away from Zi Yi's hand, and forced herself to sit up straight, looking at us with a rigorous expression and a little heartache.

Qiu Sishui didn't know that Zhang Yangrong had a tattoo on her body, which was because Zhang Yangrong was adopted when she was young. But Hou Cailiang was different, and Hou Cailiang has never been adopted.

It is a bit strange to say that according to the information, Hou Cailiang was sent to Wolong Orphanage when he was seven years old. At that time, the person who handled the procedures was still from the Southwest City Police Department. Hou Cailiang has been staying in the orphanage since he was seven years old and has never been adopted. This situation has been maintained until Hou Cailiang was sixteen years old.

According to the legal system, children in orphanages should support themselves when they are over 16 years old, so when they are sixteen years old, they naturally left the orphanage and entered society.

For two years, Hou Cailiang relied on working life. Although his life was hard, he survived. It is worth mentioning that Hou Cailiang did not forget his roots. He would come to the orphanage almost every month in two years, bringing some snacks to his younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage.

I may not know whether Zhang Yangrong has a tattoo or not, but I think Qiu Sishui will definitely know whether Hou Cailiang has a tattoo or not.

In fact, our guess is correct.

When Qiu Sishui took out the photo from the drawer, the three of us breathed a sigh of relief as if re-released. Qiu Sishui really knew that Hou Cailiang had a tattoo on his body, and also knew the content of the tattoo.

"Are you talking about this?" Zi Yi supported Qiu Sishui, who handed the photo to us with trembling hands.

I took the photo and frowned and looked carefully.

There is no doubt that the person in the photo is Hou Cailiang. The photo should be taken in summer, because Hou Cailiang wears very little in the photo, and when he was taking this photo, Hou Cailiang should have been fifteen or sixteen years old.

In the photo, Hou Cailiang is wearing shorts and short shirt. His skin is so white that we can recognize the abnormality in Hou Cailiang's right calf at a glance.

That should be a line of numbers. The tattoo tattooed on Hou Cailiang's body is charming and blood-red, which is incompatible with Hou Cailiang's fair skin, so we can tell it out at a glance.

I licked my lips and nodded happily: "It's this tattoo!"

"When I adopted Cailiang, I found this tattoo on his right leg. I originally thought it should be evidence that Cailiang's parents used to find their son in the future, so I didn't care. Unexpectedly... I didn't expect that this tattoo actually caused a life-threatening disaster to Cailiang!" Qiu Sishui told us sadly.

I nodded thoughtfully. Hou Cailiang is an orphan. When he was abandoned by his parents, he easily reminded him that this tattoo was the only evidence that when his family reunites in the future.

What is certain at present is that Hou Cailiang really has a tattoo on his body, but the photo shows Hou Cailiang's whole body. Although the tattoo can be displayed, we still know nothing about the content. The only thing we can tell is that this is a line of digital tattoos.

"Hou Cailiang grew up in an orphanage, and you watched him grow up. I wonder if you have any impression of this tattoo." I put the photo on the table and looked at Qiu Sishui calmly.

Qiu Sishui nodded in contemplation and said, "Tattoo is a line of numbers. If I remember the content correctly, it should be..."

“9264!”

“The content should be 9264!”

I asked Jiang Bing to write down the numbers, and then asked with certainty: "Can you be sure the content of the tattoo is 9264?"

"To put it bluntly, Cailiang has been in our orphanage for seven or eight years. I know exactly what his characteristics are. I cannot remember this tattoo so conspicuously. The number content of the tattoo is 9264!" Qiu Sishui nodded and said with certainty.

I nodded and held the photo in my hand and hesitated, "We want to take this photo back for investigation and verification."

"Yes." Qiu Sishui nodded with a dim expression.

The development of the case was beyond our expectations. No matter what, the orphanage this time was not in vain.

Before leaving, I hesitated and told Qiu Sishui: "Don't be too sad, as things are unwilling to see in such places. All we can do is find the murderer as soon as possible, so that Zhang Yangrong and his son can know each other, and also find justice for Hou Cailiang."

"Thank you, if you don't know anything, you can come to me anytime." Qiu Sishui smiled reluctantly.

"That time is Cailiang..."

"Although Cailiang is not my child, I am also the one I have grown up. I will never give up on him anyway, even if he is a vegetable now." Qiu Sishui said firmly: "I will go to the hospital to visit Cailiang. When Cailiang's body gradually recovers, I will take Cailiang to the orphanage."

Qiu Sishui's style makes us admire him, but Hou Cailiang is now a vegetable. If he takes the orphanage to take care of him, even if the hospital does not pursue Hou Cailiang's medical expenses, it will be a considerable amount of money for purchasing basic medicines and equipment.

We all saw the scene of Wolong Orphanage, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been saving money all the time. We are afraid that Dean Qiu will not be able to afford such an expensive payment fee.

When I left the orphanage, I once again kept my eyes on the thriving wishing tree.

The wishing tree scatters rows of branches from the trunk, and countless red wishing ropes are tied to the branches. When the breeze blows, the red wishing ropes on the branches will gradually float with the wind.

Originally, when we saw the wishing tree, we would feel praying, but now when we see this wishing tree again, I always feel cold sweat on my back.

Ziyi didn't want to stay for a second, and she didn't put her eyes on the wishing tree from beginning to end. I guess she was still thinking about the fact that she couldn't get married.

On the way back, I couldn't help laughing at the mountains that were looming in the distance.

Jiang Bing and I walked side by side, and saw me stopping and asking in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." I shook my head and continued walking forward.

The case seems to have developed in the past few days, but it has not moved. We kept thinking about it over and over again and finally pointed the clues to tattoos and Qiu Ruide.

Let’s not mention Qiu Ruide for now, the tattoos are just a big deal.

But now, Hou Cailiang has something to do because of his tattoo. Now that we know the content of his tattoo, it proves that we can start with the tattoo.

After we got off the mountain, we rushed to the police station without stopping. Although Director Qiu said the content of the digital tattoo, in order to verify, we still had to identify and decompose it from the photos to confirm what Qiu Sishui said.

When we arrived at the police station, Jiang Bing and Ziyi took photos and started to find people from the appraisal department to identify them. Zhao Jiyou and I returned to the conference room.

In the conference room, I wrote the guesswork on Zhang Yangrong’s tattoo on the whiteboard, and then I also wrote Hou Cailiang’s tattoo on it.

"Will this tattoo be the birthday of Zhang Yangrong and Hou Cailiang?" Zhao Jiyou sat on the chair and turned around and looked at me staring at the whiteboard, and said carelessly.

After hearing Zhao Jiyou's words, I was slightly stunned. I quickly found the information of Zhang Yangrong and Hou Cailiang on the messy table and read it.

"No one of the two of them is in line with the date of birth and the number on their tattoos." After checking for a long time, I shook my head in disappointment.

"If it weren't for the date of birth, what would it be?" Zhao Jiyou looked at the whiteboard in confusion.

I took out the smoke and put it on the corner of my mouth and frowned, "The question now is what the tattoos on both of them mean, and who tattooed them. According to Qiu Sishui, Hou Cailiang's tattoo was found before he came to the orphanage, and Zhang Yangrong had no tattoos on his body when he was in the orphanage. If Zhang Yangrong's tattoos were tattooed by Zhang Haisheng, what is the relationship between Hou Cailiang and Zhang Yangrong? Why did the murderer spend a lot of effort to only take the tattoos on both of them?"

"From the beginning to the end, we were listening to Qiu Sishui alone." Zhao Jiyou didn't finish his words, but I understood what he meant.

I pondered and said, "Are you suspicious of Qiu Sishui?"

Zhao Jiyou didn't have time to speak because Ziyi and Jiang Bing appeared in the conference room with reports.

"The identification department has identified and decomposed the photos. The tattoo on the photos is indeed the four numbers 9264. Qiu Sishui does not need to hide it from us." Zi Yi handed the report to me.

In the photo, the part of Hou Cailiang's right leg was enlarged and decomposed, and the numbers were perfectly presented in front of me.

I nodded thoughtfully and took out the lighter from my pocket. When I was about to light a cigarette at the corner of my mouth, Jiang Bing took away the cigarette from my mouth.

"You are now hypoglycemia, and the doctor said quitting smoking and drinking will help you recover." Jiang Bingbing threw the cigarette into the trash can, and took out a box of cigarettes left on me and put it in his pocket.

I put down the lighter speechlessly, rubbed my forehead, looked at the numbers and said in confusion: "What do these four numbers 9264 represent? Is there any relevant information on the Internet?"

"When I was appraising photos in the appraisal department, I went online to check it. The four numbers 9264 are very ordinary and have no hidden meaning." Zi Yi replied with a smile.

I thought for a while and said, "Since there is no hidden meaning, what do these four numbers mean? Isn't the meaning of not hiding just as simple as the superficial meaning?"

"9264...9264?" Zhao Jiyou stood up and walked around the conference room and guessed, "9+2+6+4=21..."

I smiled bitterly and shook my head and said, "There are many hidden meanings of numbers. According to your guesses, you can't guess the year of the Monkey and the month of the Horse."

"What should I do? You can't sit still, right?" Zhao Jiyou sighed helplessly.

My hand touched my pocket and then took out the red wishing rope.

The moment I saw me take out the red rope, Zhao Jiyou and the others' faces became unnatural.

When Hou Cailiang was a child, he wanted to lie on the bed for the rest of his life to open his mouth and his clothes to reach out. But now he seems to have achieved his dream wish.

The same is true for Zhang Yangrong.

"This... this is not really a curse and murder, right?" Zi Yi said with her lips pursed, and a hint of timidity flashed in her eyes, clearly feeling a little scared.

Jiang Bing smiled and said, "It is better to understand it as a curse and kill someone, rather than a murderer, who killed someone based on the wish they made when they were young."
