Wang Nianping never mentioned who he was looking for, but Ning Huanxin knew who it was.
It was probably Zhang Xiao.
When Wang Nianping had previously mentioned the incident to her, he said it was a forensic doctor who told him about everything. Right now, the only forensic doctor that the production team knew was Zhang Xiao from the Zhang Clan Town. Apparently, he was the only forensic doctor in this town.
In this town hidden deep in the valley and away from the city rush, the crime rate was low. Therefore, there was only one police station here. Everyone lived a very simple life here.
As for the forensic doctor, he would usually have even more free time on his hands. However, Zhang Xiao had excellent medical skills. He would sometimes even work as an on-duty doctor and give people check-ups or diagnosis or check their pulse or something. Anyway, he was someone with talent in the medical field who knew both Western and Chinese medicine.
Wang Nianping managed to get closely acquainted with Zhang Xiao in just one day. A talented director is indeed a talented director; not only did he know quite a lot about Zhang Xiao, he even found out from the people in town which tavern’s cinnamon wine did Zhang Xiao like to drink.
“This Zhang Xiao must be someone with a great story.”
As Wang Nianping walked, he started speaking, “I heard that not only is he skilled at medicine, he even graduated from a famous university. Zhang Xiao has a good family background, and in his younger days, he was a tall and handsome young man. He was an outstanding young lad and could have stayed in Yanjing or other developed cities, but he insisted on coming back to Zhang Clan Town and had been staying here as an unknown little forensic doctor for over twenty years now. Don’t you think this is strange?”
Someone who already graduated from a famous university over twenty years ago? What was going on here?
Amazing, Zhang Xiao was definitely amazing!
He was definitely someone that people might even fight for!
Ning Huanxin had also met Zhang Xiao before. Even though he seemed old, his features were indeed defined and handsome. Thinking about it, in his younger years, he definitely would have been a handsome hunk, capturing the hearts of young ladies across many villages!
However, in just 20 years, he seems to have aged so much, and was even spending his entire day drinking.
There was definitely something strange about it.
……
In about ten minutes, the two of them arrived at Zhang Xiao’s home. After Zhang Xiao’s parents passed away years ago, he had always stayed alone, so he was the only one at home. He kept his yard clean and tidy. When Ning Huanxin opened the door and entered, Zhang Xiao was sitting on a wicker chair in his yard, enjoying the sun.
It was his day off today.
“Brother Zhang!”
As soon as he entered, Wang Nianping immediately smiled and raised his hand, holding the bottle of wine. “Look what I brought for you!”
“Cinnamon wine.”
Zhang Xiao opened his eyes and looked happily at Wang Nianping. When he saw Ning Huanxin standing beside Wang Nianping, Zhang Xiao froze for a moment.
“Nice to meet you, Big Brother Zhang!”
Ning Huanxin took the initiative and greeted Zhang Xiao. “I’m here to steal a few drinks too. You don’t mind it, right?”
“Haha, this little girl seems to be quite bold. Come on in and have a seat.”
Zhang Xiao led the two of them inside his house. The house was even tidier than his yard. It didn’t look like the house belonged to an old bachelor.
It wasn’t time for lunch yet, so Zhang Xiao just sat in the main hall and chatted with them for a while. Ning Huanxin couldn’t join in the conversation, so she stood up and decided to take a look around Zhang Xiao’s home. When she saw the bookshelf by the side filled with books, Ning Huanxin couldn’t help but let her eyes linger on it a little longer.
Suddenly, her gaze stopped on a few books on the shelf.
“Big Brother Zhang looks like someone who loves books. There are more books in your house than I’ve ever read in my entire life!”
Ning Huanxin suddenly added with an awkward expression, “However, these books seem a little complicated. I can’t even understand them.”
