"I believe you also want to restore your lost memories and find out who you really are?"

"Yes, I've always wanted to regain my memory and find my father. Is he really dead?"

The deputy nodded.

Sofia looked a little sad, "Since my father has passed away, what's the point of regaining my lost memories?" Sofia then turned to Kelly Lax, "Are you my stepmother? Then where is my biological mother?"

Kelly Lax replied, "Your biological mother passed away when you were very young."

"So that's why I have no impression of her." Sofia looked again at Sara Santos and Kelly Lax, her voice choked,

"Am I really the person you are looking for?"

Kelly Lax said nothing, instead looking at Sara Santos.

Sara Santos hesitated for a moment before speaking, "You have the same scar on your arm as Sofia.

But it's been ten years, and Sofia has grown up. I'm not sure...

If possible, I'd like to see your back."

Sofia hesitated for a bit, then nodded, "Okay."

Afterward, Reid and the deputy left the conference room.

Sofia lifted her shirt, revealing her fair back.

Sara Santos examined it closely, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Kelly Lax also showed a concerned expression, "Sara Santos, make sure you look carefully, see clearly."

After a while, Sara Santos finished examining the back, and Jenny opened the door to invite Reid and the deputy back in.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Sara Santos appeared a bit nervous and whispered, "I feel she probably isn't Sofia."

The deputy showed a surprised expression, "How did you determine that?"

Sara Santos replied, "I remember Sofia had a red mole on the upper left side of her back, but there's nothing on her back."

The deputy confirmed, "Are you sure?"

"I think so."

The deputy sensed Sara Santos's uncertain tone, "Do you have any other impressions of Sofia?"

Sara Santos was silent for a moment, shaking her head, "It's been ten years, I can't remember clearly."

Reid also looked at Kelly Lax with a serious face, "Do you think she is your stepdaughter Sofia?"

Kelly Lax replied firmly, "She doesn't seem like the Sofia I remember."

The deputy and Reid exchanged glances, originally confident in this reunion, unexpectedly leading to this outcome.

Could it be a mistake with the DNA test results?

...

"Knock knock."

A series of knocks startled Luke awake.

He yawned and slowly opened his eyes, "Come in."

The door opened, and the deputy entered, seeing Luke still dazed, "You're sleeping at this time? This damn biological clock needs changing."

Luke laughed, "Who upset you? So grumpy."

The deputy sighed, plopping down on a chair, "The reunion failed.

Kelly Lax and the nanny think Sofia isn't the victim of the kidnapping ten years ago. Could there be an issue with the DNA test?"

Luke stroked his chin, "Can the two of them be certain?"

The deputy snorted, "Judging by Kelly Lax's attitude, she's been prejudiced against Sofia from the start, seemingly not wanting to recognize this stepdaughter.

Meanwhile, the nanny was eager to identify, first looking at the scar on Sofia's arm, matching her memory.

But later, the nanny asked to see Sofia's back, claiming the victim ten years ago, Sofia, should have a red mole on the upper left side of her back, which this Sofia doesn't have.

So she also thinks Sofia isn't the person they're looking for, but I feel her tone isn't certain.

After all these years, maybe her memory has muddled."

"Where are Kelly Lax and the nanny now?" Luke wanted to meet them in person.

"The director let them go home first."

Luke pursued, "Did they come together?"

"No, Kelly Lax arrived first, followed by the nanny ten minutes later."

"How did their relationship seem after they arrived?"

"They didn't interact much."

Luke recalled having dinner with Daisy at a French restaurant the night before and saw Kelly Lax dining with an Asian woman. There was also a photo of the nanny in the FBI files, but it was small and after ten years, age, appearance, and aura have changed. So at the time, Luke couldn't be sure if the Asian woman was the nanny.

In hindsight, it's quite likely.

Luke investigated the surveillance footage from the meeting room, finding a frontal shot of the nanny, Sara Santos, confirming she was indeed the Asian woman he saw last night.

The deputy asked, "Luke, is there an issue?"

"Last night, I was at a French restaurant for dinner and saw Kelly Lax and Sara Santos dining together, they talked for a long time."

"Do you think the two of them colluded to deliberately not recognize Sofia?" The deputy followed this line of thought, speculating,

"It's not impossible. Sofia's father was a successful diamond merchant, very wealthy, and left a large inheritance after his death.

While I'm unclear about the specific will, Sofia, as his only daughter, would certainly be an heir, possibly even the main heir.

Previously, Sofia hadn't been found, and she might have been presumed dead.

Therefore, the inheritance would likely go to Kelly Lax.

Now that Sofia has suddenly been found, the inheritance would need to be redistributed.

If I were Kelly Lax, I'd probably be displeased too."

Luke said, "This is just our speculation, we need to find concrete evidence; otherwise, even if we talk to them, they won't admit anything."

The deputy offered, "If Sara Santos and Kelly Lax colluded, Sara Santos must have sought something.

The most likely scenario is that Kelly Lax bought off Sara Santos with money.

I'll investigate their financial situations to see if there have been any large monetary exchanges."
