Although the photo is a simple black and white one, it has been damaged over the years, and its clarity has lessened after being photographed by phone.
Upon close inspection and corresponding comparison, it can be seen that the location where Fu Zhixing was in the photo is near this rock.
That is to say, back then, Qin Zhen saw Fu Zhixing right here.
Fu Yisi put his phone back into his pocket, his palm resting on the rock.
The man’s palm was cold, and the rock was also cold, but as soon as it touched, the temperature began to spread between them.
Zoe and Mu Sheng did not quite understand the meaning behind Fu Yisi’s actions and just stood by quietly waiting.
Fu Yisi is cold by nature, emotionally, other than Ji Sang, Fu Zhixing had the greatest impact on him.
After about ten seconds with his hand resting on the rock, Fu Yisi stood up.
His face was expressionless, and the hand that had been on the rock was now clenched behind his back.
Fu Yisi stood by the river, staring at the ripples on the water surface.
"How long is this river? Where does it pass through?"
Mu Sheng immediately pulled up a map and checked it.
Fu Yisi just glanced and noticed that the source of the river was a village in the town where Tianxin Orphanage was located.
It seemed that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the past.
Fu Yisi took Zoe and Mu Sheng to the town government.
The secretary of the town was a returning college student who had studied at a university in the city, had seen some scenes somewhat. As soon as he saw Fu Yisi, Secretary Cai knew he was no ordinary person, and his background must be extraordinary.
The secretary hurriedly had tea made.
"I don’t know what brings you here?"
Fu Yisi directly stated his purpose.
Secretary Cai frowned.
"There is no one called Fu Zhixing in our town."
He used to manage household registration here and knew very well, there was not a single household with the surname Fu in the town.
Fu Yisi’s brow had just furrowed when Secretary Cai suddenly clicked his tongue.
"However, something quite strange did happen sixteen years ago."
Secretary Cai looked at Fu Yisi and continued speaking upon seeing his gaze.
"There was a bachelor in our town, someone who kept to himself, had a peculiar disposition, didn’t like socializing, and thus had no friends; the local matchmakers also never found him a wife."
"Although he owned a house, no one was willing to marry their daughter to him."
"So he was still single approaching thirty."
Fu Yisi’s eyes slightly lowered.
Secretary Cai then realized he had started rambling again.
He hurriedly returned to the main topic.
"Sixteen years ago, this young man suddenly said he had a partner, but he wouldn’t let anyone see her."
"We all thought he was deceiving us."
"But when he fell ill, that woman indeed came out, she always liked sitting by the river. We talked to her but she wouldn’t respond."
"People in the town said she was a bride picked up from the river."
"We didn’t even know her name."
"After the man died in the hospital, the woman did not even visit him for the last time, they had never registered their marriage, had no relatives, so the hospital directly cremated him."
"People in the town said that the woman was heartless."
"I went to that house several times, only to be turned away."
"It was only a few years ago that I learned the woman’s name."
"Her name was Ah Xing."
