What about the revenge line? [Rebirth]

The connection between Zhang Da and the Jiang family gave the investigation a clear direction. Just after the winter vacation, the Li family found out that Wang Guihua and Jiang Huaikang were both in contact with the same person. When Wang Guihua and Jiang Bao moved, they treated Jiang Bao well. This matter also seems to be related to that person.

There are more and more clues, and all the arrows point to the same person, but the person behind the scenes has not shown the slightest clue.

That person was extremely cautious, and everything he did was done with the help of other people, and he never showed up in person. Even the people who had been in contact with Zhang Da found by the Li family following Zhang Da's clues only knew that Zhang Da had been in contact with him. Worked in Li's house with his father, and later became a vagrant, without knowing anything else.

In other words, among the people they have found so far, the only person who knows the identity of the person behind the scenes is Zhang Da, and Zhang Da is already dead.

The professor on the stage was still explaining the idea of ​​solving the problem, but Li Huaicheng didn't want to listen any more. He lowered his eyes, and inferred that Zhang Da's death was a suicide or a homicide.

After all, Li Huaixin broke his identity before Zhang Da died, so it is very likely that the people behind the scenes were worried that Zhang Da would be caught, so they killed Zhang Da, and there was no proof.

After class, Li Huaicheng called Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin was a little surprised when he received a call from Li Huaicheng, and asked, "Huaicheng, what's the matter?"

Li Huaicheng smiled and asked, "Is it still counting when you said you invited us to dinner last time?"

Cheng Xin: "Of course."

"Then today." Li Huaicheng glanced at the time and said, "How about today's noon?"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements, and you guys will call me when you come."

Li Huaicheng hung up the phone, went back to the dormitory to put away the books, and took a taxi at the school gate to the outskirts.

Cheng Xin didn't expect Li Huaicheng to come so fast. He had just bought the vegetables and Li Huaicheng was already waiting outside the door.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Cheng Xin apologized, "I didn't expect you to come so soon, so I went shopping first."

"It's okay, I didn't call you on purpose."

Li Huaicheng shook his head, and when Cheng Xin opened the door, he helped Cheng Xin bring the dishes in, smiled and said, "Jiang Siyuan has a class today, so he can't come, don't you mind?"

"Just invite him to dinner next time." Cheng Xin actually doesn't like dealing with Jiang Siyuan very much. Although he seems to be easy to talk to, Cheng Xin has always felt that Jiang Siyuan has a sense of distance that cannot be ignored. , Every time I deal with him, I feel a little nervous unconsciously, so he was relieved that Jiang Siyuan didn't come.

When Li Huaijin saw Cheng Xin's expression, he knew what Cheng Xin was thinking. There was a slight smile on his face: "Actually, Jiang Siyuan is very talkative, but sometimes he seems a little difficult to get in touch with."

Cheng Newsyan nodded and did not comment on Li Huaicheng's remarks.

"By the way." Li Huaicheng seemed to have no intention of saying, "Last time Cheng Hao reminded me that I was very concerned. If there is a chance, can you ask him out to have a meal together?"

Cheng Xin was taken aback, looked at Li Huaicheng's expression and said, "I thought you didn't like him."

"That's because I thought your car accident was related to him." Li Huaicheng shook his head, "Speaking of which, I should also apologize to him. I misunderstood him at the beginning."

Cheng Xin laughed: "He won't mind, Cheng Hao looks a bit headstrong but he is actually a very good boy, very gentle to everyone around him, it's just..."

Cheng Xin pursed his lips, he didn't finish what he had to say, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Let me call him and see if he has time. I remember he has no class today."

Li Huaicheng nodded, seeing Cheng Xin picking up his mobile phone and preparing to go out, Li Huaicheng said: "You tell him that I am also there, and then ask him if he wants to come."

Cheng Xin was taken aback, and looked at Li Huaicheng with a puzzled expression.

Li Huaicheng smiled and said: "After all, I'm not very familiar with him, and there were many misunderstandings when we met in the past few times. It's better to say something in advance. Maybe he doesn't want to have dinner with someone he doesn't know well."

Cheng Xin came to a sudden, and said with a smile: "Xiaohao is not such a child. He is different from me. He has easily become friends with others since he was a child. He will definitely not take the things of the previous few times to heart. Don't worry."

Li Huaicheng nodded with a smile, and lowered his eyes as he watched Cheng Xin walking out.

After a few minutes, Cheng Xin came in.

He looked at Li Huaicheng's embarrassed expression, and said, "Xiaohao said that he might not be able to come over this morning because he has something to do. It will take a while to confirm."

Li Huaicheng didn't mind at all, nodded and said: "Then let's wait for him to confirm before cooking."

"Will you feel hungry in this way?" Cheng Xin hesitated, "Actually, we can eat first, he won't mind, and he said that he may not be able to finish the work in the morning."

Li Huaicheng's smile didn't change when he heard the words, and said: "I'm not hungry, but if you think it's better for us to eat on time, we can cook more and leave some meals for him, even if he comes, he won't be without food. "

"That's how it is." Cheng Xin walked into the kitchen with a smile and called Li Huaicheng, "Are you cooking with me?"

From the beginning of their acquaintance, Cheng Xin and Li Huaicheng spent most of their time cooking. The way they got acquainted was to cook together and then taste the dishes made by the two of them. It is strange to say that when Li Huaicheng found this restaurant on the first day When he was in the restaurant, he felt that Li Huaicheng was very familiar, so when Li Huaicheng asked to borrow his kitchen for a while, he agreed without hesitation.

After eating the dishes made by Li Huaicheng, he became even more fond of Li Huaicheng. When chatting, he unexpectedly found that they could chat very well. Later, Li Huaicheng came over often, and their contact gradually became more and more intimate. At least until now, He already regarded this young man who was a few years younger than him as his best friend.

"Come on." Li Huaicheng took off his coat, rolled up his cuffs and said, "What did you buy today?"

Cheng Xin took out the dishes with a smile, and the two chatted about the different methods of each dish while choosing and chopping them. Speaking of these, their conversations would never stop. The reason why he is regarded as a confidant in front of him is that Li Huaicheng looks elegant and gentle, like a young master who doesn't touch the spring water with his fingers, but in fact he has excellent cooking skills and has a very unique and rich experience in cooking.

"...If the oil is poured with juice, it can preserve its own fragrance." After Li Huaicheng finished his opinion, he said casually while chopping vegetables: "I remember the last time when Cheng Hao and you were on my birthday. The contradiction is quite big, why did you quarrel at that time?"

Cheng Xin paused while washing the vegetables, lowered his eyes and smiled wryly: "It's not that there's nothing you can't say, but it's a bit embarrassing to say it... Cheng Hao and I were not born to the same mother. My mother gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and my father did not. I married her after she gave birth to me, but chose to marry Cheng Hao’s mother. When I was young, my father often took me to play at home, but my aunt didn’t like me very much, and I didn’t want Cheng Hao to get too close to me. For the sake of Auntie's feelings, Cheng Hao will always meet me every time as long as Auntie is around..."

Cheng Xin didn't finish what he said, but Li Huaicheng knew what he wanted to say in his unfinished words. He saw the scene of Cheng Hao humiliating Cheng Xin last time, but no matter how much Cheng Hao's mother hated Cheng Xin, It would be fun not to let my son humiliate him in public every time he sees him.

But seeing Cheng Xin's expression now, Li Huaicheng lowered his eyes and changed the subject: "Do you know who Cheng Hao usually gets close to?"

Cheng Xin was taken aback, thought for a while and said: "Cheng Hao is very popular, he can hang out with anyone, if you want to say that he is very close, it should be Yang Zibei, they have been classmates since elementary school, and they have been friends since childhood. good friend."

"Yang Zibei?" Li Huaicheng repeated the name. It was not a popular name, but he always felt familiar as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't recall it carefully.

Cheng Xin heard Li Huaicheng repeating the name and asked, "Do you know him?"

"I seem to have a little impression." Li Huaicheng thought for a moment but failed, and said: "But I can't remember who it is."

"Maybe you have met." Cheng Xin smiled indifferently, and said, "The Yang family is also quite rich, so maybe you have met on some occasions."

Li Huaicheng nodded thoughtfully.

When the four dishes and one soup were served, Cheng Hao also called, and Cheng Xin didn't leave, so he answered it directly.

The whole call lasted only a dozen seconds, and after hanging up, Cheng Xin apologized: "Cheng Hao said that his business has not been dealt with, so he can't come today."

Li Huaicheng smiled indifferently, and said: "It's okay, it's a temporary invitation, it's normal that he can't make it."

After finishing speaking, Li Huaicheng paused his hand holding the vegetables, and asked: "I remember you said that Cheng Hao said that he had a very powerful friend named Jiang Huaikang, that is, the boy who stayed in Jiang's house before, have you met him?" ?”

Cheng Xin thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before, I only heard Cheng Xin say it, and he said it in front of Auntie. Usually, what he said in front of Auntie... has some deliberate elements, not necessarily Really, because apart from Yang Zibei, I rarely see him have a particularly good relationship with other people."

Li Huaicheng nodded, and added another dish with chopsticks, as if he just asked casually.

After eating and talking to Cheng Xin, Li Huaicheng waved goodbye.

It was already three o'clock when he got on the bus and drove unsteadily to the city center. Li Huaicheng walked to a shop that had been reserved, picked up his things, took another taxi, reported the address, and closed his eyes in the back seat to rest his mind.

Li Huaicheng wanted to think quietly, but the driver seemed to be very interested in Li Huaicheng, and he didn't stop talking since Li Huaicheng got in the car.

"Young man, what are you going to do in Dongcheng Garden District? Few people take taxis to go there. I can only send you to the door later, and cars from outside can't get in there."

Li Huaicheng opened his eyes slightly, and said softly, "Go over there to see an elder."

"Elder, that must be very rich." The driver master clicked his tongue, "The house there is something we can't afford with the money we have saved in our lifetimes."

Li Huaicheng didn't answer, the driver continued: "You look so handsome, do you have a girlfriend? If you don't, I..."

"Yes." Li Huaicheng raised his lips slightly, his eyes were pure and gentle, but the driver who was looking at the rearview mirror somehow felt that it would be better not to continue asking.

In just twenty minutes, the taxi stopped outside a quaint gate, and a well-dressed guard came over, knocked on the window and said, "Parking is not allowed here, if you are visiting, please go to the guard's room to contact the owner." .”

Li Huaicheng nodded, thanked the driver and got out of the car. After seeing Li Huaicheng, the doorman's expression softened a little, and he asked, "Excuse me, are you here to visit?"

"Yes, please call Mr. He for me." Li Huaicheng said politely.

"Okay, please come with me." The guard led Li Huaicheng to the bright and spacious guard room, dialed Mr. He's phone number and confirmed an appointment with him before letting Li Huaicheng in.

When Li Huaicheng arrived at the door of Mr. He's house, he found that the door had been opened. When he walked in, he saw Mr. He sitting at a stone table in the garden with a pot of steaming tea open on the table.

Mr. He first saw Li Huaicheng, greeted him, then waved with a smile, and said: "Come and sit, your grandma He is preparing snacks for you inside, she hasn't seen the children for a long time, she knows you are coming I'm happy."

Li Huaicheng did not sit down, but politely said: "Grandpa He, this is the first visit, I will go in and say hello to Grandma He."

Mr. He's smile deepened when he heard the words, and just as he was about to speak, he saw his wife coming out with a tray, and said with a smile: "Just now Huaicheng said that he would go in to say hello to you, and you came out."

Mrs. He is a fat old man who looks very kind-hearted. Hearing what Mr. He said, she laughed, walked to Li Huaicheng and put down the tray and said, "Good boy, sit down and eat some fruits."

Li Huaicheng sat down obediently, handed the things in his hands to Grandma He and said, "For the first visit, I have prepared some gifts for Grandpa and Grandma He according to the information provided by my uncle. I hope you like it."

When Grandma He saw that Li Huaicheng handed over the box, she didn't want to accept it, but she laughed when she heard that it was Gao Sijin's idea, she just shook her head and said, "Your uncle..."

Grandma He put the gift into the house, Mr. He pulled Li Huaicheng to talk, and Mr. He answered Li Huaicheng's questions, and it seemed very harmonious when he came and went.

"I heard from Sijin that you can cook, and the taste is very good." Mr. He said with a smile: "Not many young people can cook nowadays."

Li Huaicheng smiled modestly: "It's just that I like cooking very much. In terms of taste, maybe my uncle and mother praised me."

Old Mr. He shook his head: "Sijin is the most picky, even the dishes made by that boy Qizi back then were unpalatable..."

Seeing the sad and nostalgic expression on Mr. He's face, Li Huaicheng pursed his lips and changed the subject: "If Grandpa He doesn't mind, I will cook a dish for you and Grandma He to taste tonight."

"Of course I don't mind." Mr. He replied with a smile, "Then I can look forward to it."

The two talked about other topics, and Grandma He had already come out, so she sat aside and smiled kindly, listening to them quietly.

"Grandpa He." The smile on Li Huaicheng's face subsided a little, and he said, "Actually, I came here today to ask you something."

Mr. He nodded without the slightest surprise: "Let's talk."

"I remember Grandpa said, you hugged me when I was born, did you find anything unusual at that time?"

Mr. He sighed, he guessed that Li Huaicheng was going to ask this question, and said: "Your grandfather and grandfather have asked me this question, even your father and uncle have asked it, but I have thought about it carefully. Nothing amiss was found."

Li Huaicheng asked: "When I went to the insulation room, were you there?"

Mr. He shook his head and said, "I will hand you over to the nurse and leave."

"Then do you still remember the nurse's appearance?" Li Huaicheng continued to ask.

Mr. He frowned. A nurse who hadn't seen him more than [-] years ago was a blur in his mind.

Thinking to no avail, Mr. He said: "I didn't look carefully at that time."

Li Huaicheng lowered his eyes, took out two photos and said, "Have you seen these two people?"

Mr. He took the photo in Li Huaicheng's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "No."

Li Huaicheng pursed his lips. Although he had already made mental preparations, he still couldn't help being a little disappointed. He smiled and took back the photo and said, "Thank you, Grandpa He."

Grandma He really frowned, and said, "I've seen the little girl in the second photo."

"Really?" A glimmer of hope floated in Li Huaicheng's heart, and he handed the photo to her again. Grandma He nodded: "I have seen her by Sijin's side several times."

Li Huaicheng was taken aback, "Uncle?"

Grandma He nodded and said with a smile: "Your uncle was very good when he was in college. He was their class monitor at that time. This little girl should also be a student cadre in the class. She always followed your uncle. I went to find him many times. When I was with Qizi, I would always see Sijin following this little girl."

Li Huaicheng's brows furrowed indistinctly. The first of the two photos he took out was Fang Rui. It's normal that Grandpa He and Grandma He don't know each other. Although Fang Rui has been staying at Li's house, even Gao Si'an and Gao Sijin No matter how many people go to Li's house, it doesn't mean that Mr. He and his wife, who are good friends with Gao's family, will know Fang Rui.

And even if he doubted Fang Rui, he didn't think that Fang Rui would really show up in the hospital when he dropped him. If she really showed such a big flaw, it's impossible for Li's father not to find out about him.

But the second photo was just a photo he carried on his body just in case. In that photo - Cheng Hao's mother looked like when she was young.

He had secretly investigated Fang Rui long ago, but nothing came out of the investigation. Fang Rui was absolutely incapable of switching him out alone. She must have an accomplice, but who was her accomplice? Fang Rui didn't see anything around her. Suspicious characters.

It wasn't until Li Huaicheng went to Lei Lei's celebration banquet when he was a freshman and saw the woman walking with Fang Rui that he realized that Fang Rui didn't instigate other people to commit crimes, but had accomplices?

Li Huaicheng did not directly rule out this possibility, but sent people to follow and observe people who were close to Fang Rui from that day on. Fang Rui was abroad all year round, and there were not many friends in China that he often contacted, including Cheng Hao's mother.

Cheng's mother was also the one who attended Lei Lei's banquet with Fang Rui last time.

Originally, although Li Huaicheng had someone to investigate Cheng's mother, he did not investigate deeply. One is because the possibility is too small, and the other is because of his limited ability. Even if Jiang Siyuan contacted someone to help with the investigation, he could not find many private The detective follows everyone he suspects at the same time.

As a result, the progress of the investigation will slow down.

However, all of this was broken by a reminder from Cheng Hao.

Why did Cheng Hao remind him to be careful?Since Cheng Hao was able to remind him, it proved that he knew that he might be in danger, but he and Cheng Hao hadn't even met a few times, and even Cheng Xin didn't know his situation, so why did Cheng Hao know?

At first, Li Huaicheng thought about the relationship between Cheng Hao and Jiang Huaikang, so he suspected that Cheng Hao knew what Jiang Huaikang wanted to do to him, and he saved Cheng Xin's life, so Cheng Hao wanted to repay his favor. will remind him.

But later he investigated and found that the relationship between Cheng Xin and Jiang Huaikang was not very good, and even after Jiang Huaikang left Li's house, they almost lost contact.

And if it was just because of Jiang Huaikang, thinking of Cheng Hao's complex expression when he spoke, his intuition told him that Cheng Hao had broken through a huge psychological defense line when he said this, but the relationship between Jiang Huaikang and him was not enough to make Cheng Hao It's so hard to say a word.

After excluding Jiang Huaikang, the figure of Cheng's mother entered Li Huaicheng's mind again. The person who can make Cheng Hao so embarrassed and entangled must be someone who is extremely important to him. If it is not Jiang Huaikang, then the most suspicious person around Cheng Hao, It's Fang Rui's good friend—Cheng's mother.

Even with this speculation, Li Huaicheng didn't have much hope, but it just so happened that there was a photo of Cheng's mother in the data investigated by the private detective, and Li Huaicheng took this photo with him just to be cautious.

Even for further confirmation, he found Cheng Xin before coming to Mr. He's house, and wanted to contact Cheng Hao through Cheng Xin, and then get some useful information from him.

However, Cheng Hao did not come, which was expected by Li Huaicheng. When he asked Cheng Xin to tell Cheng Hao that he was there, it was the first step to confirm his guess. Cheng Hao's refusal made him feel guilty. Guess that the two-point possibility that Cheng's mother is related to him mentioned three points.

Because if Cheng Hao really knew something, he would definitely not want to have too much contact with him. It was very rare to be able to remind him to be careful last time. Therefore, he made sure that he would bring Cheng's mother's photo to Mr. He and his wife Take a look to see if your suspicions are in the right direction.

Now it seems that the direction of his suspicion is indeed correct, but - why is Gao Sijin involved in it?
