catch the dream

"But he didn't leave any evidence behind." Zhou Sheng said, "You can't do anything about him."

After talking with Liang Jinmin that day, Chen Yekai separated from her. Liang Jinmin also made an appointment with another friend and lent the car to Chen Yekai. Chen Yekai drove and sent Yu Hao back to school in a state of anxiety.

A few days later, before the Chinese New Year, Chen Yekai originally planned to drive the two of them to the expressway and return to Liang Jinmin’s mother’s house for the New Year, but Lin Xun temporarily changed his mind—he decided to take Liang Jinmin to a high school classmate’s house to be with the other couple. new year.

"To the house of the person you cheated on?" Yu Hao said.

"Yes." Chen Yekai said, "Do you think this is possible?"

"Your teacher's wife won't agree." Zhou Sheng said.

Chen Yekai nodded and said, "This is the only loophole in Lin Xun's precise arrangement. Apart from the parties involved, I am the only one who knows the inside story, but it is limited to the teacher's wife's report, and it cannot be used as any evidence."

"Lin Xun asked me not to pick him up that day. He drove there by himself. In the evening, there was a car accident on the highway. Both Huang Ting and I thought it was a deliberate murder, but no matter how hard we searched, we couldn't find anything. There are clues. The two of them have been fined for not wearing seat belts in foreign countries before."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yekai began to realize that something was wrong. From New Year's Eve to the first day of the new year, he stayed by Liang Jinmin's hospital bed. After Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao left on the first night of the new year, Chen Yekai waited until Lin Xun. This was after the accident. In a month, their only conversation.

Chen Yekai tried his best to draw out any possibility from Lin Xun, and made a recording in advance, but Lin Xun would never lose to Chen Yekai, and what was even more frightening was that while he was defending tightly, the corners of his mouth were always With a faint smile.

"What he wanted to tell me was, 'Yes, you guessed it, I did it all'." Chen Yekai said, "He knew that I must have turned on the recording, so he defended and fought back, saying angry, Sad words, but with a mocking smile on his face."

Yu Hao suddenly shuddered.

Lin Xun only gave Chen Yekai 10 minutes before leaving the ward, and when Yu Hao returned to the ward to bring Chen Yekai food, he saw him kneeling in front of Liang Jinmin and choking.

"Later, Huang Ting routinely interviewed him several times." Chen Yekai said, "His score is too high, even Huang Ting couldn't ask anything, and the academy was very concerned about this matter and repeatedly put pressure on the police. Huang Ting can only stare at Lin Xun, hoping to catch evidence that he met with the partner of the extramarital affair."

After a long time, Huang Ting and Chen Yekai discussed again and again, but they were at a loss. The case could only be suppressed. They still had one hope - to wait for Liang Jinmin to wake up.

"Lin Xun will not give you this chance." Zhou Sheng said, "If all the previous speculations are true, he will wait patiently, wait for his wife to take her home, and then murder her again, or wait for her condition to deteriorate before giving up treatment. He is a legally recognized family member and has the right to sign."

"Maybe." Chen Yekai said, "Huang Ting told me to be patient, not to visit my wife, and treat it as nothing happened, so that Lin Xun could relax his vigilance. But for a long time to come, there was no progress, and I had no choice. If we wait any longer, as long as the initial limelight passes, Lin Xun will definitely start to deal with me."

On the night after the spring outing, Chen Yekai waited downstairs in the teachers' dormitory with a scalpel in hand. Lin Xun temporarily moved back to the college, and that day...

"Did you really want to kill him at that time?" Yu Hao asked.

"No, I want to press him." Chen Yekai said, "It's not enough to kill him with a knife. That day I was recording on my mobile phone and drank alcohol. Ask him the truth."

Zhou Sheng didn't know how to evaluate it: "Do you think he will say it?"

"I don't know." Chen Yekai said, "But that's my only way. I know he has a weakness - he is very afraid of death, very afraid of death."

Yu Hao: "Ah? Afraid of death? Didn't he study psychology? When encountering danger, he should deal with it calmly, right?"

Chen Yekai nodded and said: "When I was doing social surveys and interviews with him, one time when I went back late at night, a group of people robbed with guns, and there was a dead body on the side of the road. At that time, he was very scared, not like Fake it."

"He didn't dare to resist at all. Faced with the threat of death, he couldn't move, and he couldn't think of any way out. At that time, he could only rely on me to deal with the robbers." Chen Yekai said, "The robbers are all juvenile delinquents. Cruel, we gave each other all the money we had, and they were not satisfied. Sometimes you have to be more fierce than them to these people. When you become fierce, the other party will be persuaded. We didn’t see it in the dark. Afterwards, the robber himself After leaving, I immediately called the police to make a record, and when I arrived at the police station, I found out that Lin Xun was so frightened that he lost control of himself.”

Zhou Sheng suddenly felt it was funny: "Are you so afraid of death?"

Chen Yekai said: "It's normal. Some people are afraid of death, and some are not. Many people have never really faced certain death in their lives, so they lack a clear understanding of themselves... But I won't discuss this, I will Think, if he really realizes I'm going to kill him, maybe some truth will come out."

Yu Hao said: "But this method of obtaining evidence cannot be used as evidence."

"Yes." Chen Yekai said, "No, I don't know why I did that, the momentary impulse and anger blinded my eyes, like thunder and lightning everywhere in a dream, I even thought about killing him, Anyway, thanks to you.”

The next morning, Chen Yekai proposed to resign. The dean was not surprised and approved it that morning.Then, there is a series of things that happened after that...

"No more." Chen Yekai said, "The whole process is like this. By the way, it is my father who helped Lin Xun with divorce counseling. In the last 12 years, my father has never lost a lawsuit."

Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao leaned back on their chairs, both showing headache expressions.

Chen Yekai said: "Ask me something else? I can answer anything."

Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng, then at Chen Yekai, and said, "Up until now, we have never thought about what if... er, I mean, among all these things, what if, I mean What if Lin Xun was really wronged?"

"I have thought about it." Chen Yekai smiled slightly and replied, "So I have been suffering, but I am too familiar with the teacher. I have known him for nearly seven years. What he wanted to say, he said the first half of the sentence. , I can understand the second half of the sentence. You asked me if he had psychologically interfered with me, and in retrospect, I can definitely answer: yes.”

"He wants to exile me." Chen Yekai said, "He wants to eliminate all uncertain factors, even Zhou Sheng who guessed that he beat Teacher Liang. He is very good at grasping many tiny details and then magnifying them , Inducing yourself to step into a mistake, but he obviously misjudged you this time. He would not have thought that there would be supernatural forces at work behind all this."

Zhou Sheng said: "Without evidence, no one can be convicted. This is correct. We are not going to convict him now, are we?"

"Hmm..." Yu Hao thought for a while, it's true, they don't plan to do anything to Lin Xun now, and according to the principle of innocence, no one will trouble Lin Xun at present, unless they get new ones. evidence.

The three fell silent again, and Chen Yekai stroked his hair, which was also a little long.

"Take you guys to get your hair cut?" Chen Yekai said.

"I have another question." Zhou Sheng said suddenly, "Kaikai, you are so rich, where did you get your money? Didn't you cut off ties with your family long ago?"

Yu Hao thought he was right, but this topic was too gossip, he was never embarrassed to ask.

Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yekai suspiciously, Chen Yekai was helpless, and said with a smile: "After graduation, I partnered with a senior brother to start a technology company, and received psychological and behavioral analysis reflected by big data, including crowd portraits, and some collective trends. Prediction... is the brother who helped me check the IP address of the homepage."

"Oh—" Zhou Sheng nodded.

"A lot of software and websites are in great need of this service." Chen Yekai said, "It was originally agreed to list the company on Nasdaq, but then I really didn't want to do it, so we sold the company."

Yu Hao wondered how much the company could sell for?But he refrained from asking.

Zhou Sheng really wanted to ask, but he didn't ask either.

"The previous data analysis framework is still used by many websites, and they will pay us some patent fees every year. What? Zhou Sheng, do you need money? Just ask if you need it... Yu Hao, too, don't be polite to me .”

Zhou Sheng hurriedly said, "I'm just curious."

Chen Yekai said casually: "Your family has money, but money is not important. Life is as long as you can live happily."

Zhou Sheng said: "It's all my father's. It's hard to say if I'll survive when I get out of society someday."

"Why do you care about this kind of thing?" Chen Yekai laughed, thought for a while, and said, "Well, I made a little plan in the morning, and the best thing to do now is not to alarm anyone."

"Yeah." Zhou Sheng replied, "This is the most appropriate way, and since you have resigned, don't go back to school."

"I'll find a place to live first." Chen Yekai said, "Go to Huang Ting when I'm free, and sort things out. Don't worry, Zhou Sheng, even if I die, I will never do these things to anyone explain."

"I believe in you." Zhou Sheng said, "It's okay."

"You guys should go back to school first." Chen Yekai said, "Now only you can monitor Lin Xun."

"If it's really that easy for him to show his feet," Zhou Sheng said helplessly, "You can clean it up yourself, so why not use us?"

"Not necessarily." Chen Yekai said, "In his impression, I have already left."

"As long as you don't die," Zhou Sheng said, "he will definitely be very careful. Let alone, I am tired today, so let's go back first... wait, today is Monday?!"

Yu Hao just remembered, there is class in the morning!Moreover, they turned off the alarm clocks. When they looked at their mobile phones, there were more than 400 unread messages. Xue Long scolded the two of them in the group.What about review manuscripts?Hand in the review speech immediately!

Fu Liqun calmly asked the two of them, where did they go so happily that they couldn't find it outside the hotel.

"The grade meeting will be held in 10 minutes, come back quickly." Fu Liqun's voice said in the group of four.

Yu Hao: "It's over! We have to conduct a self-criticism today! What should we do?!"

"Afraid of hair." Zhou Sheng said, "Leave me alone!"

Yu Hao couldn't help but think of the fear of being dominated by the review at the grade meeting last time, but Zhou Sheng didn't care at all. He took a taxi to the school gate, put his hands in his pockets, covered his head with the hood of his sportswear, and looked domineeringly from the multifunctional The classroom door went straight in.

Followed by Yu Hao who passed by quickly and went to sit down in the class, immediately aroused a burst of laughter.

Xue Long stood on the stage with an angry expression on his face, Yu Hao glanced after sitting down, Lin Xun didn't come, this person was really surprised, asked Zhou Sheng to do a self-criticism, but he didn't come to listen.

Zhou Sheng went straight to the stage.

Xue Long: "..."

"Cough!" Zhou Sheng put one hand in his pocket, took the microphone with the other, and said, "Hey, hello, can you hear me?"

There was another burst of laughter, and the whole multi-purpose classroom cheered wildly and slapped the table.Yu Hao rested his forehead with one hand, remembering that when he was doing self-examination a few months ago, the seat where Chen Yekai sat was now empty.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Sheng said again, "I'm here today, and I sincerely apologize to Lei Hongbo and everyone in Class Three."

The entire multifunctional conference room was silent.

Xue Longna's face was extremely ugly, but Zhou Sheng bowed politely and said, "I was impulsive at the time, I hope everyone doesn't take it to heart, I will definitely restrain myself in the future, speak up when I have something to say, and won't fight anymore , please supervise me together.”

Yu Hao was instantly surprised by this tone. Yu Hao thought he was going to make a few jokes to please the public, but he didn't expect Zhou Sheng to apologize seriously.

Looking at the group of the third class again, their faces became a little more relaxed, and the second class began to applaud collectively, applauding Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng turned his gaze, glanced at Yu Hao, and looked at Yu Hao, Yu Hao immediately applauded him, making a "handsome" mouth.With a smile on his face, Zhou Sheng said suddenly: "As for our Yu Hao, everyone, please give me Zhou Sheng some face, don't just tease him all the time, okay?"

The whole audience was in an uproar in an instant, before Yu Hao recovered, a group of people from Class [-] of Physical Education behind him were lying on the table laughing.

Zhou Sheng added: "Also about Teacher Lin, even though he is not here today, I have to sincerely apologize to him. I shouldn't be talking nonsense in school. Please forgive me, Teacher Lin, thank you!"

Saying that Zhou Sheng bowed again, everyone in the classroom turned their heads, countless eyes from all directions focused on Yu Hao.When Zhou Sheng stood up straight, no one looked at Yu Hao any more, and each pretended to be indifferent.

Zhou Sheng's gaze suddenly became very sharp, and he glanced at the audience. He was sharp for a moment, and returned to his lazy look after a while. He handed the microphone back to Xue Long, and walked off the stage.

"very handsome."

Yu Hao heard a girl in the front row whispering about Zhou Sheng. Many people didn't seem to notice Zhou Sheng's handsomeness before. Today, everyone felt Zhou Sheng's rough and confident temperament. Once this guy becomes polite, That look is really depressing.

Xue Long began to talk about the situation of absenteeism and the normal division of various subjects, and informed Chen Yekai of his resignation.Before you know it, it is early summer, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. In more than a month, the freshman year will be over.

The cicadas on campus began to chirp, and the boys in the physical education department all changed into T-shirts and shorts. When Yu Hao, Zhou Sheng, and Fu Liqun were eating fried rice in the cafeteria, Fu Liqun finally couldn't help it and asked what happened yesterday.Zhou Sheng kicked Yu Hao under the table, meaning he would handle it, and then briefly told Fu Liqun about Lin Xun's domestic violence against Liang Jinmin and his intention to force Chen Yekai away.

Fu Liqun's expression was very complicated, but Zhou Sheng's expression was calm, Fu Liqun said: "This matter is not easy to solve."

Yu Hao asked: "If it's resolved, do you think Teacher Chen will come back?"

"No way?" Zhou Sheng said regretfully.

Fu Liqun said: "It's a pity for such a good teacher."

The three of them sighed for a moment, and after nightfall, Chen Yekai called Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng was lying on the bed, and handed over an earphone from the side of the bed rail for Yu Hao to listen to.

"The bicycle race is settled." Chen Yekai said on the phone.

Yu Hao almost cried out, that's great!

Zhou Sheng seemed to have expected the result a long time ago, so he just said "um" casually.

"I called the competition organizing committee in the afternoon." Chen Yekai said, "Actually, it doesn't have much to do with me. Xue Long has notified them in advance, but the organizing committee doesn't seem to take him seriously. inside."

Zhou Sheng burst out laughing in an instant. It turned out that Chen Yekai heard the complaints from the organizing committee office in the afternoon. He was the one who helped Zhou Sheng register his name and stamp it with the official seal, and what he left behind was also his contact information.This time, Xue Long asked the organizing committee to disqualify Zhou Sheng in the name of the academy. When the organizing committee asked what happened, Xue Long told the truth that Zhou Sheng was criticized for fighting and suggested disqualifying him.

But the meaning of the organizing committee is: Sorry, we do not accept your suggestion. We are an event sponsored by the company. As long as the participating students have not violated the law and been detained, not persuaded to quit, and still have the status of college students, even if they stay in school for probation, they will be fine. Also eligible to participate.The implication is that reporting criticism has nothing to do with us?You want to educate students to educate themselves. Sports competitions are sacred, and they will not cooperate with you and use them as an excuse for punishment.

Chen Yekai wanted to go to the organizing committee himself, but after listening to a lot of complaints, he couldn't help laughing. In the end, he informed Zhou Sheng that everything was as usual, and that when the time came, he could participate in the competition according to the procedure, and then hung up the phone.

"I guess Xue Long will continue to hide this matter from you." Chen Yekai said, "Let you think that you have been disqualified, so don't get angry with him. It's not worth it. Anyway, what to do."

"Okay." Zhou Sheng said casually.

The final date is in the summer vacation, and there is still some time left, Zhou Sheng raised his hand, Yu Hao understood and gave him a high five with a smile.

As for Lin Xun's case, Chen Yekai's answer was: "I have already communicated with Huang Ting, and we need to wait patiently."

Four months had passed since the car accident, and Liang Jinmin was still lying in the hospital without waking up. Lin Xun began to apply to the hospital to take Liang Jinmin home, and the hospital advised Lin Xun to observe for a period of time.Huang Ting and his colleagues monitor Lin Xun's every move every day, anticipating when he will show his flaws.

Chen Yekai began to collect evidence of Lin Xun's derailment abroad, which was relatively difficult, but he had a general idea.If Liang Jinmin can wake up, maybe he can give Lin Xun a decisive blow.

"There must be a way." Chen Yekai said, "I contacted Lin Xun's cheating partners before, and some of them are willing to provide me with evidence. I plan to go back to New York this week and ask them to talk."

"Good luck." Zhou Sheng said.

"Many things seem to be covered by fog." Chen Yekai said, "But now I believe that there will always be a day when the clouds will be cleared."
