Chapter 190 The Attack (Part 1)

There were many cars on the road. Wei Hongsi looked at the "system" for a while while waiting at the red light, and lost it when he started driving again. He doesn't usually drive much, so he wasn't in a hurry to catch up. He just drove at his own pace, since he knew the way anyway.

When he arrived at the Municipal Criminal Investigation Department, he rolled down his car window as he entered the gate. The gatekeeper glanced at him and let him through. He didn't know if his friend and his companion had greeted him when they entered, or if the gatekeeper already recognized him.

Wei Hongsi nodded to the gatekeeper, lightly pressed the accelerator, and drove in. After parking the car, he got out and saw his older brother and Zhang Shengyong waiting in front of the building, so he ran over to them.

The three went upstairs to the task force command room, where only Director Shi and Yu Zhen were present.

Wei Hongsi greeted the two leaders and then briefly recounted what he had told his brothers earlier, including some of his speculations.

Director Shi and Yu Zhen were both surprised after hearing this. Although Wei Hongbo had mentioned on the phone not long ago that he had discovered another important clue, they did not expect it to be so convoluted and connected to the events of sixteen years ago. It turned out that Wei Hongsi was also a victim.

The group discussed these points and generally agreed with Wei Hongsi's speculation. Director Shi then called Guo Weiran over to prepare for the investigation.

While waiting, Yu Zhen asked curiously, "Teacher Wei, how did you suddenly remember something that happened sixteen years ago?"

Wei Hongsi said, "Those memories are like childhood traumas for me, so I have never wanted to recall them. They are memories deep in my brain. In addition, I suspect that the memory implantation technology will create retrieval inhibition on the relevant memories, interfere with the neural synapses that connect memory cues and memory content, and require special conditions to be awakened, which is what the so-called 'guides' of the Light Guide Society do."

"We've recently been researching methods to treat 'mental pollution' and break the 'circuit breaker mechanism,' which involves mechanisms for recalling memories. The equipment was almost ready, so I tested it out, and then I had a dream that night about things from over ten years ago."

"My analysis is that those memories were unintentionally triggered and then consolidated through deep sleep and EM sleep, so I remembered those contents after waking up."

Neither my brother nor Zhang Shengyong had asked this question before. Knowing it was of great importance, they immediately decided to come here to report to their superiors. Wei Hongsi didn't ride in the same car with them, thus the question was left unresolved.

However, even if his friends didn't ask, someone else would, and Wei Hongsi was prepared. Putting aside the "system" and the personal secrets of the second personality, this answer is basically the truth of the matter; the biggest difference is only that the trigger for awakening memories is different.

This answer has another advantage: if memory fragments containing important clues are later recovered, the same reasoning can be used to explain it.

Yu Zhen nodded and said, "It seems you managed to escape unscathed and prevent that organization from succeeding, all thanks to your sufficiently stable anchor point."

Wei Hongsi said, "I think so."

Director Shi laughed and said, "How could it not be stable? That's our goal too."

Neither of them suspected anything, because there was nothing to suspect; on the contrary, they felt quite fortunate for Wei Hongsi.

Guo Weiran arrived shortly afterward, and Wei Hongbo briefed him on the latest developments.

Then the division chief assigned tasks to each person.

Wei Hongbo was put in charge of investigating clues related to Zhang Zishi. To make any progress on this trail, simply reviewing the old case files wouldn't be enough; they would definitely need to conduct their work in Xicheng. Wei Hongbo was from Xicheng, so investigating the case back in his hometown would be more convenient.

Zhang Shengyong will continue to be in charge of the investigation into Han Tao's accidental death, while also investigating whether anyone was following or observing Wei Hongsi before and after Han Tao's appearance.

The task of investigating the Chenxi Kang Le Welfare Home was assigned to Guo Weiran.

After receiving the assignment, Guo Weiran pondered where to begin. Starting with the timeline of Mu Jie and Chen Xuemin's entry into the orphanage, which was over twenty years ago, would be quite challenging.

Wei Hongsi said, "Guo Da, we plan to try to crack Mu Jie's 'circuit breaker mechanism' in the next couple of days. If all goes well, we should be able to provide you with some useful clues."

Guo Weiran was overjoyed to hear this. Although this young teacher Wei was young, he never made empty promises. He said, "Okay, then I'll wait for Teacher Wei's good news!"

Yu Zhen nodded and said, "Then there must be good news."

Upon hearing this, Wei Hongbo and Zhang Shengyong couldn't help but exchange a smile. Captain Yu's prediction of good things might not come true, but at least he didn't mention any bad outcomes.

After the tasks were assigned, everyone went out to make their own preparations.

Director Shi and Yu Zhenben wanted Wei Hongsi to stay for dinner, as it was almost time for the meal. However, Wei Hongsi needed to return to the company to prepare for the work on cracking the "circuit breaker mechanism," so they didn't insist.

Wei Hongsi and his older brother went downstairs together, and Wei Hongsi asked, "Are you going back to Xicheng tonight?"

"Yes, that way we can start investigating the case first thing tomorrow morning without wasting any time."

"I called my mom this morning to ask about my essay, but I didn't get any results."

Wei Hongbo laughed and said, "She wouldn't care about those things; so many years have passed."

Wei Hongsi smiled and asked, "Do you know what happened to Uncle Zhang's daughter?"

"I think she went abroad after graduating from high school. What, you think she's suspicious too?"

"I'm wondering, if Uncle Zhang specifically targets children, will he do the same to her daughter?"

"Probably not, would he really do that to his own daughter?" Wei Hongbo shook his head. He was about to become a father himself, and putting himself in Zhang Shu's shoes, he felt that Zhang Shu shouldn't have done such a thing.

Wei Hongsi then asked, "Can you be sure that his daughter is his biological child?"

"This should be right," Wei Hongbo said confidently. "You've seen his daughter's picture, haven't you? The father and daughter look so alike."

Wei Hongsi recalled the photos he had seen at his older brother's house and nodded slightly: "What's his daughter's name?"

"I think her name was something like Xiao Qiu." Wei Hongbo glanced at him. "You don't even remember your little friend?"

Wei Hongsi pointed to his head: "Didn't you know I was harmed? I suspect that my inability to remember that girl might be related to Uncle Zhang."

Wei Hongbo couldn't help but reach out and pat his younger brother's head: "Are you alright now?"

Wei Hongsi said, "Anyway, the examination won't find any problems. When you go there to investigate, you can tell me if you have any information. Maybe I can remember something."

Wei Hongbo said, "Okay, I understand."

As the two were talking, Wei Hongbo escorted his brother to the car and watched him drive out of the yard.
