crime puzzle

Cheng Xiaojing knew he was dreaming.

He also knew that he was still alive - he could feel the pain and the uncontrollable heaviness coming from the depths of his body.

Also know that there may be many people around.

Faintly hearing someone calling himself, Cheng Xiaojing exhaled a few breaths with difficulty, trying to use these few breaths to try to make some noise - he wanted to tell the people around him that he was fine.

His eyes were open, but there were figures in front of him.It's just that there are white shadows shaking everywhere, and it's hard to see whether these are people or ghosts.

Someone whispered in his ear.

"Xiaojing, Cheng Xiaojing?" The voice changed midway, from the familiar subwoofer to a clearer young voice, it seemed like a different person.

"Sit down first, don't move around." A force pushed him down.Cheng Xiaojing was inexplicable - he actually felt himself sitting down.

Something touched his lips.

"You probably have heat stroke, drink some water first." There was a little anxiety in the voice, Cheng Xiaojing suddenly remembered who he was.

A cold breath poured straight into his heart, he couldn't help shivering, his blurred eyes suddenly became clear, and a youthful and delicate face faced him.

It's raining all around, it's really not a good weather.The moisture in the air seemed to wrap him in water vapor.Dull as if to suffocate.

Cheng Xiaojing panted a few times and asked in a low voice.

"Lan He, 18 years old?"

Lan He frowned at him and murmured, "Did you break your brain?"

Cheng Xiaojing has mixed feelings, he really doesn't know what kind of thoughts he should have now.

Judging from all the experiences he has now, the real self must be unconscious again.

"What's wrong with me?" He touched his forehead and asked helplessly.

Lan He sat down opposite him, handed him the kettle in his hand, and kept his eyes on him.He said: "You fell...it seems a little serious. Just now I saw you lying on the ground motionless. I was scared to death."

Cheng Xiaojing stared at him blankly for a while.

Until Lan He couldn't bear his naked eyes, and asked: "Cheng Xiaojing, are you really okay?"

Hearing the young Lan He called his full name, Cheng Xiaojing came to his senses and remembered that they were not familiar with each other at this time.He turned his head to look around - and at this glance,

Only then did he realize that the place where they are now is a wilderness with no villages or shops.

"..." Cheng Xiaojing felt his head sink, and couldn't remember why he and Lan He appeared in such a place for a moment.He remembered that when he was young, his relationship with Lan He didn't reach the point of elopement.

"Why are we here?" Cheng Xiaojing asked suspiciously.

Lan He looked at him even more strangely.

"I see you really broke, I'll take you to the hospital." He came over to help Cheng Xiaojing.

According to Cheng Xiaojing's temperament in the early years, anyone who approaches him will be excluded.But the person in front of him is Lan He, thinking that after a long time, they will all sleep together, and there is no need to separate you and me so well.

He took the initiative to reach out and put his hand on Lan He's neck.Pressing his shoulders to support himself.

"I fell a little out of my body just now, can you help me figure out the reality?"

"..." Lan He frowned and looked at Cheng Xiaojing, and said solemnly: "Something happened to your family. You want to see your parents, no one can stop you. Lan Tian and I are not at ease, so we Following you."

Cheng Xiaojing didn't have this memory at all, he was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Where's Lan Tian?"

Lan He looked at Cheng Xiaojing even more strangely.

Cheng Xiaojing lowered his head, and found that Lan He didn't answer his question, thinking that he didn't want to mention Lan Tian, ​​and was thinking whether he should ask something else, so as not to make the atmosphere too embarrassing.

A slightly cold hand covered his forehead.

Cheng Xiaojing trembled again, all the nerves in his body were straightened by himself.He turned his head to look at Lan He inexplicably.

Lan He said hesitantly, "You... your parents died in a car accident."

Cheng Xiaojing hummed and said, "I see."

"But you just now..." The worry on Lan He's face was about to overflow.

Cheng Xiaojing smiled and said, "I just fell down and suddenly woke up. I understand that people cannot be resurrected after death."

Lan He murmured, and asked again after a moment of silence.

"Then do you still go to the place where the accident happened?"

Cheng Xiaojing thought for a while and said, "Go, you have to take a look."

The mountain road on rainy days is really not easy to walk. Two people walked in the muddy mud, with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Lan He frowned and said, "Lan Tian originally said to go back and call a car to pick you up. The car will go faster."

Cheng Xiaojing paused, and asked, "Where's the car?"

Lan He pointed at the bottom of the mountain and said, "You should wait for us down there."

Cheng Xiaojing patted him with a smile and said, "It was a great help." He is not in good health now, if he keeps walking like this, he feels like he will have to kneel on the road.

Lan He helped Cheng Xiaojing go down the mountain, and sure enough, he saw a car parked there.

When he got closer, he could still see Lan Tian leaning out half of the car window, waving at them.

"This way, this way!"

Lan He took the initiative to open the door for Cheng Xiaojing, let him get into the back seat, and followed him in. He specifically told the driver in front, "Drive slowly, Xiaojing is not very comfortable."

The sound of Xiaojing made Cheng Xiaojing feel very comforted, and the estrangement in his heart when he met them for the first time was instantly eliminated.

Lan Tian looked at them from the chair, with suspicion and jealousy flashing in his eyes.

"Hyo Kyung..."

Cheng Xiaojing interrupted them, saying: "I want to ask something."

Lan He and Lan Tian looked at him inexplicably at the same time.

Cheng Xiaojing asked, "Where's Uncle Gong?"

The two brothers showed embarrassed looks at the same time.

"Uncle Gong is at the scene..." Lan He said, "The perpetrator of the car accident is his relative. He said he has the responsibility and obligation to stay there."

Cheng Xiaojing never understood why when his parents had an accident, it was Uncle Gong, the housekeeper of the Lan He family, who came to pick him up.It doesn't matter whether the explanation that Lan He said is imagined in his dream, or it really exists.In short, it explained the doubts I had always had.

"What about his nephew?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.

"In the detention center, after all, someone died." Lan He said, "Don't worry, Xiaojing. We will protect you in the future, don't be afraid."

Cheng Xiaojing smiled at him and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. I have a lot of questions, it's good if you can answer me."

Lan Tian leaned half over and shouted, "Ask me, ask me. I know everything."

Cheng Xiaojing immediately struck while the iron was hot and asked Lan Tian.

"Apart from Gong Shuzhen, who caused the accident, who else was there?"

"Who is Gong Shuzhen?" Lan Tian was confused.

"...is Uncle Gong's nephew." Cheng Xiaojing explained.

"Oh, the car he drove. A group of his out-of-town friends were in the car. They were beaten and crawled all over the ground by Uncle Gong on the spot." Lan Tian gesticulated and said vividly.

Cheng Xiaojing deleted the part that added oil and vinegar, and simply refined the useful part of his bunch of words.

——Gong Shuzhen did not act alone.

Cheng Xiaojing didn't know what kind of person Gong Shuzhen was ten years ago.But he believes that ten years is enough to turn a normal person into a devil, not to mention that Gong Shuzhen himself is not like a normal person.

But what he can be sure of is that Gong Shuzhen ten years ago is definitely not as courageous as ten years later.

Is there someone by my side?Can it still cause such a big car accident?No ghosts would believe it.

The driver in front suddenly said: "There is a traffic jam ahead, so I can't drive in."

The three of them poked forward for a while, Lan He said: "Just stop here, I'll accompany Cheng Xiaojing there."

The car stopped by the side of the road slowly, Lan He took an umbrella from the trunk, supported Cheng Xiaojing to get out of the car, and said, "Just one, let's use it together."

Cheng Xiaojing glanced at Lan Tian subconsciously.

Lan Tian lay on the car window with an aggrieved expression on his face, and said, "You squeeze me out. I knew Lan He was upset and kind."

"..." Lan He was so thin-skinned, and when Lan Tian muttered, he immediately put the umbrella into Cheng Xiaojing's hand and said, "Here you are. You are in a bad mood. Lan Tian and I don't need an umbrella."

Only then did Lan Tian push open the door and come down, and said cheerfully, "Let's go."

Cheng Xiaojing stared blankly at the two mentally handicapped people, wondering what Lan He had eaten to eat his brain so normal during the years of being separated from him?

The scene is on a spacious dirt road, the road surface is paved with sand and gravel, and there is no muddy water.

Cheng Xiaojing saw a group of people in front of him from a distance, and he stopped unconsciously.

Lan He and Lan Tian fought each other and walked forward.Finding that Cheng Xiaojing didn't keep up, Lan He turned around and asked, "Cheng Xiaojing?"

Cheng Xiaojing took a deep breath, raised his hand and said, "...Well, I overestimated myself a bit."

I thought that I would no longer have the heart-piercing pain of the past for such a scene.I didn't expect that when I was about to face it again, I would be timid first.

Lan He wanted to run back, but he didn't pay attention, and was dragged by Lan Tian, ​​who staggered backwards and fell behind.Cheng Xiaojing looked at Lan Tian and ran to her side as if taking advantage, and said earnestly: "How about, let's go back. If you want to know anything, I will help you ask."

Cheng Xiaojing shook his head and said, "It's okay, just take it easy."

The car accident looked more tragic than all the car accidents that Cheng Xiaojing had seen. In the scene, both cars were smashed into scrap copper and iron, and there was not a single intact part.It looked as if it hit the ground extremely vigorously.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is his own psychological effect. Cheng Xiaojing pursed his lips and walked around the scene without saying a word.

Cheng Zhen drove a small van from Lan He's company, and it was said that he was out temporarily to buy some hardware accessories.It was a pickup truck that collided with the minivan.Cheng Xiaojing went up to have a look, and found that the body of the car was stained with blood.

What would it be like to pretend?If it was someone else, Cheng Xiaojing might think about the slaughtered animals.

But Gong Shuzhen's words...

He did not forget what happened to Cheng Gang and his wife that Cheng Xiaoguo had described to him.

Lan He and Lan Tian also came up to take a look, and then backed away with ugly expressions.Lan He subconsciously pulled Cheng Xiaojing and said, "Don't look at it."

Cheng Xiaojing pointed to the bucket of the car and said, "I'm a little curious, what is in this car, can it be stained with so much blood? Pig blood or cow blood?"

Lan Tian came up carelessly, draped Cheng Xiaojing's shoulders, wrinkled his nose and looked at the car bucket with Cheng Xiaojing and said: "It's probably pig blood, but it's strange that Uncle Gong's nephew would pull such a stinky pig."

Cheng Xiaojing gave a hum inexplicably.

Lan He said: "Uncle Gong's nephew's work must be at home, you will know when you go back and ask."

Cheng Xiaojing nodded and walked to the other side.

The bodies of Cheng Zhen and his wife are next to them.When they arrived, Uncle Gong who was guarding the scene saw them.When they passed by, Uncle Gong stood beside him, bowed to Cheng Xiaojing, and said, "I..."

Cheng Xiaojing pressed his shoulder, feeling the slight trembling of guilt in this middle-aged man who was taller than him.

"Uncle Gong. The car accident has nothing to do with you. I don't want your apology. I am sincerely grateful for what you have done for my family." He said calmly.

Uncle Gong looked up at him, straightened up after a while, and said, "It should."

Cheng Xiaojing felt relieved, he thought his words were clear enough, no matter how he dealt with Gong Shuzhen in the future, he would feel at ease.
