Episode 8: Bird Head Mask

In the wealthy bathing city, Du Mei, a female technician's colleague, suddenly felt nauseated and retched, which attracted the attention of other colleagues.Although she verbally denied being pregnant, she went to the hospital for a checkup and found out she was indeed pregnant.She originally planned to abort the child, but when she heard the laughter outside the obstetrics department and the sound of children running happily in the bathing town, she suddenly made up her mind and turned around and left.

Lu Xingzhi got into Wei Zhengrong's car outside the public bathhouse. When he saw horses coming out in groups, he followed his car.In order to solve the case as soon as possible, Wei Zhengrong took Ma Chengqun into his car for interrogation.Lu Xingzhi asked Ma Chengqun about the house and learned that he was not interested in the house, and continued to ask about his meeting with his son.Lu Xingzhi noticed the new mobile phone in his hand, took it over to check, and asked him to open QQ, but Ma Chengqun refused.Wei Zhengrong picked up his belt and threatened him to open QQ and let Lu Xingzhi read it as he pleased.Lu Xingzhi discovered that Ma Chengqun only had one contact person for his son, so he returned his cell phone to him.

Ma Chengqun guessed that Wei Zhengrong and Lu Xingzhi were looking for him about the murder case on June 29. He revealed to them the bird's face he saw when he went to pull bricks nearby in 1997, and said that he thought he was hallucinating at the time., so I didn’t mention it to others.Later, he learned about his life experience, became more mature, and began to travel.While traveling in Yunnan, he saw an owl mask and confirmed that the person he saw was a man wearing a raincoat and riding a Mulan motorcycle.He handed the owl mask to the two people and suggested that they check the purchase records of the 1997 small motorcycle, maybe they can find clues.Lu Xingzhi thinks this possibility is unlikely.Ma Chengqun also said that in Western culture, owls represent evil.

On the way back, Lu Xingzhi heard Yang Man's call and learned that An Ning was ill and said something about his biological mother because of a fever, which may be related to Wang Nannan's case.He guessed that An Ning was subconsciously thinking about the case back then, so he asked Yang Man to take good care of her.

When Lu Xingzhi found An Ning, he took her back to the police force because she was so small. An Ning also relied on Lu Xingzhi, as long as he took care of her.Wei Zhengrong was anxious to solve the case and brought Ma Chengqun to An Ning regardless, which scared An Ning to tears on the spot.Upon seeing this, Team Huo criticized him and warned him that haste makes waste and he should not be too hasty in solving the case.

In the coffee shop, Yang Zhe gave Yang Man an oil painting as a thank you for helping her translate the article.Yang Man saw that there was another oil painting in Yang Zhe's bag, so he curiously asked to check it out, and found that it was an oil painting of a human body, but it was very similar to the scene of Liu Meng's case.But Yang Man didn't know that she loved that oil painting very much, but Yang Zhe was a little apologetic and said that the oil painting had been ordered to be given to someone else.At the same time, people from the welfare home went to the police station and wanted to take An Ning back, but An Ning was unwilling to leave. She hugged Lu Xingzhi and refused to let go.When Lu Xingzhi saw that his heart softened, he decided to adopt An Ning. When Yang Man heard about An Ning's life experience, he was very sympathetic and supportive, so An Ning became their child.

After the recollection, Lu Xingzhi cooked a meal for Yang Man and told her to eat on time, then got up and left. Yang Man told him to pay attention to safety and was very reluctant to see him leave.After some interviews, the manager of Suihui Automobile Store revealed that two employees in the store had been in prison but have now been rehabilitated. One of them happened to be Bai Xiaofu's husband Zhang Sicheng, but Wei Zhengrong did not notice.But Wei Zhengrong saw a Guo Shengli, nicknamed Brother Dao. He was originally sentenced to fifteen years, but now it seems that he may have been released early.
