dead innocent

In the evening, Song Linlin got off the bus with a bag of fruit and walked back to the community for about 10 minutes.Downstairs, she saw the door of an SUV parked by the corridor opened, and then a man in a windbreaker came down.

Song Linlin still remembered He Cheng, who was introduced to them by Chu Xingyun last time, so she stopped at the exit of the unit building and waited for him, then greeted him: "Mr. He."

He Cheng walked straight towards her, nodded at her, and said, "I'm coming back to get something." After speaking, he entered the unit building first.

In the broken community where Chu Xingyun lived, the elevator would go on strike every now and then. Fortunately, the floor he bought was on the fifth floor, and it was not difficult to climb up.But for Song Linlin, climbing the stairs was very strenuous.He Cheng saw that her wicker-like thin body was really struggling to climb the stairs, so he took all the heavy objects from her hands, and even held her arm to lend her strength.

The last time I met He Cheng, I still remembered him coldly questioning who he was, and the two doors he slammed.At this time, he was helping and supporting her like a gentleman, which surprised Song Linlin. In order to express her gratitude, Song Linlin, who was always reticent, broke the embarrassing situation where she had nothing to say and chatted with him a few words.

"How is Captain Chu's daughter doing?"

The connection between her and He Cheng is limited to only one Chu Xingyun, so when looking for topics, she naturally finds them from him.However, the topic she raised didn't seem to be very good. She saw the corner of He Cheng's lips curled up, and she didn't look very happy to talk to her.

"He has no daughter."

He Cheng said coldly.

Song Linlin froze for a moment, took a breath, and continued, "The little girl he brought home last time—"

He Cheng cut off the words before he finished speaking: "That's his colleague's daughter, I just asked him to take care of it for a day."

Mentioning the last time Chu Xingyun lied to him about having a wife and a daughter, He Cheng's teeth became sore, but now that Song Linlin mentioned it, he began to get annoyed by the gossip he spouted out of his mouth.

"He's joking with you. He doesn't have a wife or daughter. He's full of words. Don't take what he says seriously in the future."

Song Linlin was also good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that He Cheng was obviously unwilling to talk more, she stopped asking, and only said in a low voice: "That's a pity."

He Cheng heard it with his sharp ears, and his face suddenly became unattractive, and he squinted at her: "Why is it such a pity?"

Song Linlin said bluntly: "Captain Chu is a very nice person, practical and stable, he can take care of others and live a good life."

He Cheng: "...how do you know that he can take care of others and live a life?"

Song Linlin said: "The last time I went shopping with him, he spent his money reasonably, neither stretching nor showing off. Although Lao Zheng entrusted him to take care of me, I can see that he is very kind to me. heart."

Song Linlin speaks straightforwardly and has a simple temper. She doesn't know that her praise of Chu Xingyun's law-abidingness fell into He Cheng's ears and was misinterpreted in another way: Chu Xingyun took good care of his friend's girlfriend and took good care of him. Going shopping and shopping, but also willing to spend money.

Look at himself again, every once in a while he is asked to go out for a meal, and he always yells.

He Cheng was upset, and it was obvious that Song Linlin, who was seeing him for the second time, could tell. Song Linlin only felt that this man was somewhat gentlemanly, but he was really petty, and what he said was not what he wanted. It's really not easy to get along with a cold face that makes people unable to get off the stage.

Anger turned into anger, He Cheng continued to support Song Linlin upstairs with his self-cultivation.It's just that a man wearing a black hat and a mask suddenly rushed down from upstairs, and hurried past them. The corridor was narrow, and he didn't know how to avoid it, so he bumped heavily into Song Linlin's shoulder.

Song Linlin let out an 'ah', and her thin body like a kite was almost knocked over by him. Fortunately, He Cheng grabbed her shoulders in time to keep her from knocking on the handrail of the stairs.

He Cheng frowned and glanced at the man who hurried downstairs without even saying sorry, and without saying anything, helped Song Linlin continue upstairs.

As soon as he turned into the corridor, he smelled the same gasoline smell as the man just now, and as if he had noticed something, he said to Song Linlin, "Stay here and don't move." After speaking, he ran to the corridor Outside a closed door at the end, as expected, the door lock has been picked.

He Cheng took a step back, kicked open the door, and saw that the living room was covered in flames, and the burnt smell of the carpet and sofa rushed towards the door along with the heat wave, forcing him back step.

Song Linlin saw the bright light coming out of the room, and it was obvious that there was a fire. The next second, she saw He Cheng suddenly entered the house, and she was so frightened that she quickly shouted: "Mr. He!"

Although the fire was not big, it burned fiercely and quickly. It burned from the kitchen to the living room in a blink of an eye, and burned all the way to the door of the bedroom.

He Cheng rushed in before the fire engulfed the bedroom. According to what Chu Xingyun said, he found the locked drawer at the bottom of the bedside table. At this time, he didn't have time to find the key, so he could only pull it a few times with brute force. The drawer was pulled open.The flames behind him had spread across the room, and the flames flowing on the bedroom floor crawled towards him like animal claws...

The temperature in the room was getting higher and higher, the smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and the fire even reached the hem of the windbreaker he had dragged on the floor. Just before the bedroom was completely conquered by the fire, He Cheng finally found a few bank cards in the drawer. U disk wrapped in a sleeve.

He took off the windbreaker that was already on fire, ran out of the room with the USB flash drive, and dragged Song Linlin downstairs.

Fortunately, Song Linlin had already called the fire alarm while he was looking for things, and other residents were also evacuating from the unit building one after another.

He Cheng smoked a lot of cigarettes, his face was blackened by the smoke, he stood downstairs and coughed a few times, then looked at the fire that was getting stronger and stronger, took out his phone and contacted Chu Xingyun Go to the entrance of the community.

Song Linlin was terrified, and subconsciously followed him, trotting to keep up with his pace: "I remember I unplugged the gas stove and electrical appliances in the kitchen, why did it suddenly catch fire!"

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the gate of the community, He Cheng suddenly stopped, and stretched out his hand to stop Song Linlin.

Song Linlin followed his gaze and saw a black car running over the gate of the community, and stopped in front of them in a blink of an eye, and then two burly men got out of the car.She was about to ask who they were, when she saw He Cheng suddenly stepped forward to block her, passing her by and stuffed something into her hand at the same time.

After all, she was Zheng Xihe's woman, Song Linlin had seen a little of the big world, she blinked immediately, squeezed the thing He Cheng stuffed into her hand and stepped back.

"...What do you want to do?"

Although they were 'acquaintances', He Cheng still did not relax his vigilance, watching them ask coldly.

One of them opened the back seat door, and the other walked up to him, saying, "He Kechang sent us to pick you up."

Of course He Cheng refused to give in, he turned a sideways glance at them and continued walking forward without seeing them: "I will go find He Ying by myself."

He had only taken two steps when he realized that the man he had left behind was approaching him from behind. He was about to turn around and punch, but unexpectedly a cold needle was pierced into the side of his neck. Put the slightest effort.

Song Linlin was stunned and watched helplessly as He Cheng was carried into the car, and then the black car drove away in front of her.Where He Cheng was standing just now, a mobile phone fell.

Not long after, the night covered the city like a big net, two fire trucks followed one after another, and Xiao Shu arrived after hearing the news.

A fire truck blocked the entrance of the community, surrounded by pedestrians and residents of the community.When Chu Xingyun rushed back, the fire had been extinguished. The fire had not stopped, and the firefighters were still pulling the pipes to bring water to the firefighting colleagues in the community.

Seeing that Chu Xingyun came back in a hurry, several acquainted neighbors crowded around him.There were those who scolded him for being careless, those who comforted him not to be sad, and those who were implicated in the fire and burned their windows and couldn't wait to ask him for compensation.

Chu Xingyun stood among a group of uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, looking up at his house that was still emitting thick black smoke under the night, his eyes were smoky, and his head was dizzy from the neighbors' chatter .

Annoyed and irritable, he hurriedly dealt with his neighbors, rushed out from their encirclement, and found Xiao Shu who was talking to a firefighter.

"Where is He Cheng?"

Xiao Shu was forced to turn around by his stiff shoulders, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Xingyun standing in front of him with a dark face, full of energy, as if he would punch him at any time.

The corners of Xiao Shu's eyes trembled, he took a step back unconsciously, and said cautiously: "I don't know, I received a call from He Ying, and he said that there was a fire in your house, and he asked me to deal with it quickly."

Chu Xingyun doesn't even believe him now, not only doesn't believe him, but also hostile to him, as if the whole world is a suspect waiting to be arrested, staring at him with dark and cold eyes, lowered his voice and growled: "You and He Ying is in the same group, you must know where he took He Cheng!"

"I really don't know, I just found out that He Cheng is missing."

"Then why is He Cheng's cell phone on you?!"

Xiao Shu is gentle and dignified, and he doesn't know how to punch. Seeing that Chu Xingyun really wanted to fight him, he quickly took another step back and said: "Song Linlin gave it to me!"

Thanks to his reminder, Chu Xingyun thought of Song Linlin who lived in his home. Just when he was about to ask him where Song Linlin was, he heard a weak and slender female voice sounding beside him.

"Captain Chu."

Song Linlin stood beside him the whole time, but he was only interested in asking Xiao Shu about He Cheng's whereabouts, and was ignored.

Chu Xingyun glanced at her up and down, and saw that she was neatly dressed, she didn't look like she escaped from the fire, and she was still holding a bag of fruit in her hand.

Seeing that she was not injured, Chu Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief: "Have you seen He Cheng?"

Song Linlin calmly narrated what happened, including the name 'He Ying' she heard from He Cheng, and then handed him the USB flash drive that He Cheng had stuffed for her.

Holding the USB flash drive, Chu Xingyun suddenly raised his head to look at the unit building where the smoke was still lingering, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his dark eyes, like a corner of the night that had been pried open.

He installed the USB flash drive, snatched the car keys from Xiao Shu, and said to him, "Arrange Song Linlin to live." Drive to Jiuli Jinting.

Just now he wondered if He Ying burned down his house.But Song Linlin said that they bumped into a man who smelled of gasoline in the corridor, and it was another group of people who took He Cheng away.That is to say, there are two groups of people who burned the house and took He Cheng away.No one would burn his house down for no reason, it could only be explained that he was looking for something and couldn't find it, so he simply set it on fire.However, He Ying's people came in such a timely manner, He Ying didn't know that He Cheng would come to his house in advance, and he and the person who burned the house were almost behind each other, as if they had made an appointment.

It's not hard to guess who burned his house, Zou Yuheng is the only one at present.Although Chu Xingyun suspected that He Ying's purpose of returning to Yinjiang was impure, he didn't think that He Ying would lose his bottom line and get mixed up with Zou Yuheng.Moreover, Zou Yuheng had no reason to suddenly know that they would come back here to look for a USB flash drive. It could only be that another 'insider' told Zou Yuheng and He Ying the news at the same time.

This speculation is outrageous, because he only talked about the USB flash drive with He Ying in the car, and it is impossible for a second person to know about it, unless the informer is He Cheng.

Suddenly, he slammed to the right, and the off-road vehicle stopped on the side of the road under a sudden brake, and the tires rubbed against the ground to make a harsh sound.

Chu Xingyun picked up He Cheng's mobile phone, pried open the case of the mobile phone, and saw a stolen chip on the fuselage at a glance...

Suddenly, he seemed to understand everything.

The whistleblower was not He Cheng, He Cheng was monitored.The only chance for a bug to be installed in his mobile phone without his knowledge was during the few minutes when he passed out when the state guest building exploded.He Cheng's fainting was not accidental, but from that moment on, he was regarded as a target by 'that person', who put a bug into his mobile phone and kept monitoring him, waiting for an opportunity, someone who could make him The opportunity for He Ying to take the initiative to send He Cheng out...

That's right, He Ying was fooled.That person's target was only He Cheng from the beginning to the end, but He Cheng was closely protected by him and He Ying, and it could almost be said that it was airtight, so he needed to create a panic, an illusion, and a danger was approaching He Cheng illusion.Since that person can contact Zou Yuheng, he must be able to instruct him to burn the house down, so He Cheng looks like he escaped from the fire, and there is always a crisis lurking around him.

This was a trap, He Ying sent He Cheng out of the city, but actually sent it to that person.

At this point, Chu Xingyun can almost conclude.When He Ying's men took He Cheng away, behind their car, a vehicle hidden in the dark night approached quietly, following closely like a ghost.
