crime puzzle

Lan He is really helpless to Cheng Xiaojing's spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the end.

"Xiao Jing, I have lived for more than 20 years anyway." He nodded his head, "Once the ability to think logically is formed, some things can be drawn to conclusions after brainstorming."

Cheng Xiaojing stared at him for a long time, but didn't find any signs of guilt in him, and asked: "Things made up by the brain still need to be verified."

"Yes, so..." Lan He said, "I followed you to that advertising company in high school, and I had my own purpose."

There was silence again in the living room.Lan He seemed to hear the clear beating sound of his own heart, but his thinking was a little tense. He heard himself say in horror, "Xiao Jing, when I was in high school, I saw you for the first time.

I thought you were the kid I saw in the lab.When I heard that you were going there, I lost my temper. "

Cheng Xiaojing was secretly surprised. He looked up at Lan He and said, "Me? You made a mistake, I'm a native of the countryside."

Lan He leaned on the back of the sofa, turned his face to Cheng Xiaojing and said, "You really don't have the same temperament. Your serious appearance just overlaps with the child in my memory."

Cheng Xiaojing laughed.

"I found out later, right?" Otherwise, with Lan He's temper, it is absolutely impossible to draw a clear line with him easily.

Lan He nodded, and said: "You told me on the mountain that day, stay away from you in the future. I'm sure, you are not."

Cheng Xiaojing put aside all the information that Lan He had given him in his mind, thinking,

This is really a big misunderstanding.He remembered very clearly that at that time he wholeheartedly felt that it was his own responsibility to put Lan He in such a dangerous situation.

As a result, now it seems that Lan He thought the same as himself at that time - he probably felt that he was implicated by him.

Cheng Xiaojing chewed the explanation in his mouth for a long time, but finally swallowed it back and changed another sentence.

"How can you be sure I'm not?" Cheng Xiaojing asked pretending to be casual.

Lan He looked at Cheng Xiaojing very seriously, and answered very carefully.

"You didn't respond to that place." Lan He said: "If you just mentioned it verbally, it's normal to have no impression. But when you get to that environment, you still don't have any reaction at all. That only shows that you are really unfamiliar with it. "

Cheng Xiaojing smiled lowly, and said jokingly: "I have mild autism since I was a child, and my memory has always been very poor. You should know about this."

"I know." Lan He's tone became more determined, "If you showed a little familiarity with it back then, I wouldn't have drawn that conclusion."

Cheng Xiaojing nodded, since Lan He had taken all the possibilities into consideration, it meant that he really did not meet the conditions.

"According to what you say, my parents are really just involved in it?"

"Probably." Lan He sat up straight and said, "And you. I think most of the people who want to touch you also think that you are a survivor."

Cheng Xiaojing paused his typing hands on the keyboard, raised his brows solemnly, and turned his head to look directly at Lan He.

"You mean, the person who silenced my parents was related to the case back then?" After finishing speaking, he shook his head and said, "No. If they believe that I am the child who ran out back then, wouldn't there be you? Why not? Start with you?"

"Because I'm Lan Shiyu's son. When I was a child, my dad has always been very strict with me and Lan Tian. Moreover, my dad stayed there for so many years, but they didn't find anything. They probably thought that there was nothing on me that could tell me what to do." If you leak it, you won’t target me.”

What Lan He said was well-founded, and Cheng Xiaojing couldn't think of a reason to refute it for a while.

But his intuition was wrong.

There should be a more reasonable reason for his parents to die.

"Lan He," Cheng Xiaojing asked, "Did your father really find out nothing when he left there?"

"Well, after the second accident at the research institute, the government stepped in to supervise it again. After that, an industrial park was opened around it, and there were more people. It is impossible to do something illegal secretly." Lan He looked regretful.It seems that the traces left over from the beginning were finally washed away by the development of the times.

Cheng Xiaojing asked again: "Then why did you cover up the fact that a large number of corpses were found in the back mountain when you left?"

Lan He glanced at him and said, "My dad told me that the traces left on these corpses have almost been burned, and there is no other benefit except for people to know what happened in the research institute back then."

Cheng Xiaojing was surprised.

"...What happened to that advertising company ten years ago?"

Lan He sighed, and couldn't help complaining: "Imitate it. It's just a little small, and the employment and seriousness are all petty. It's just a small fight. It's not even as good as Liang Yingping and Liu Wei, at least the descendants And know how to innovate.”

Cheng Xiaojing knew why he said it was an imitation.

Among Lan He's inferences, the operating mode of the advertising company is to copy the mode of the original research institute.

"The people who know the process must be related internal personnel. You don't check?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.

"I checked." Lan He glanced at Cheng Xiaojing, and said: "According to my father, there is no result. However, I think it should be found on my own head, and the imitation intention is obvious. Just It can be put on hold for now.”

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly became very interested in this person of his own.

"Can you tell me who it is?"

Lan He shook his head and said, "My dad didn't say anything."

"..." Cheng Xiaojing suddenly discovered that the four words 'my dad didn't say' are really easy to use, and they perfectly dismissed himself, making himself stuck in the knot, he wiped his face, and suppressed the pain in his heart Impatiently, said: "You always call stop at key points, this kind of practice is very bad."

Lan He raised his eyebrows and said, "I agree with you. But I have nothing to do with my dad."

Cheng Xiaojing's gaze sank slightly, and he asked, "Then do you want to know what the key is?"

Lan He's eyes flashed, revealing a gleam of light.

"Do you have a solution?"

Cheng Xiaojing assumed that he had Lan He's support, he picked up the mobile phone on the table, and dialed Guan Pengcheng's number.

Guan Pengcheng answered the phone, opened his mouth slowly and greeted him.

Cheng Xiaojing knew him too well, before he could finish his sentence, he immediately cut off his words and said, "Mr. Guan, if you are free today, can we meet?"

"Today? Not today." Guan Pengcheng said, "I haven't been able to do it for a while now. Once you left, many cases fell on me. I'm already old, and I still have to spend the whole day..."

A lot of complaints and accusations came oncoming, Cheng Xiaojing sighed, and said: "If you are busy, I can chat with my teacher's wife at night and wait for you to go back."

Guan Pengcheng was silenced by him for a while, and said, "Are you wicked for taking my wife as a hostage?"

"...I dare not." Cheng Xiaojing seemed to be infected by Guan Pengcheng's habitual dragging skills, and his voice stretched out for a moment, "It's just that there are some things that need to be clarified in person."

Speaking of this, Guan Pengcheng also sensed Cheng Xiaojing's intentions, and he asked: "Can you tell the teacher what's going on first? Let me be mentally prepared."

"It's not very convenient on the phone." Cheng Xiaojing knew that Guan Pengcheng was very cunning, if he gave him some clues in advance, he could quickly wipe away all the clues—as long as he didn't want to expose himself to those old events.

"Hey, there is still a sentence before the death penalty." Guan Pengcheng was completely shameless on the opposite side and began to whisper to himself, "Even I and you are inconvenient. All these years, my concern for you has been thrown into the Atlantic Ocean to feed the fish. Yet?"

"..." Cheng Xiaojing froze, trying his best to block Guan Pengcheng's mental attack with his hard heart, "I will tell you everything when we meet at night. It will be noon soon, and there is only half a day left."

Both sides fell silent, Cheng Xiaojing heard Guan Pengcheng talking vaguely to the person next to him on the ground, and then hurriedly replied to himself after a while.

"Xiao Jing, the teacher didn't lie to you, he is really busy. How about setting the time on another day?" Guan Pengcheng said to the people next to him.

Cheng Xiaojing calmly waited for him to finish speaking before returning.

"Then teacher, you should be busy first."

Seeing him hang up the phone, Lan He asked, "Could it be that your resignation really annoyed him?"

Cheng Xiaojing shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. I'm not sure about his attitude towards my matter. However, we must find a way to block him tonight."

At first, Lan He didn't understand what Cheng Xiaojing's so-called blocking him meant.

He didn't really understand Cheng Xiaojing's meaning until they went back and forth at the office, the court, Guan Pengcheng's house, and the city center for entertainment at eight o'clock in the evening.

Cheng Xiaojing clicked his tongue angrily, and said, "It's a surprise. I shouldn't respect him so much."

"...What's the situation? Doesn't he want to know what you want from him?" Lan He asked.

"Pretending." Cheng Xiaojing said, "He probably guessed what I was going to ask him."

Lan He thought of Lan Shiyu's attitude towards the events of the year, and the doubts that had been suppressed in his heart crept up restlessly.

"They hide a lot from us?"

"I don't know." Cheng Xiaojing said, "But it's definitely a very important thing."

Why would Cheng Zhen, a businessman with little education, have a friend like Peng Cheng?What was the real intention behind what Lan Shiyu said in front of him back then, 'I can't put myself in it'?

There are countless questions in Cheng Xiaojing's mind, and he wants to rush out in his heart non-stop.

Lan He agreed with Cheng Xiaojing's point of view.Over the years, because he has concealed many things from Cheng Xiaojing, he has always regarded himself as Lan Shiyu's accomplice.It wasn't until now that he realized that his position was actually no different from that of Cheng Xiaojing.

He said: "We can find another person to ask. I don't think she will deliberately hide anything from us."

Cheng Xiaojing asked: "Who?"

Lan He turned to look at him.

"My second mother."

It was Lan Tian who came out to open the door for them.

Lan Tian was shocked to see the two of them both appearing at the door, and then he didn't know what to think of, he pulled Cheng Xiaojing aside in shock, and said with a serious expression: "You guys don't want to die?"

Cheng Xiaojing was at a loss, wondering if their house is a dragon's pond or a tiger's den?It is life-threatening to come here.

Lan He frowned and pulled Lan Tian's shoulders, and said, "Don't move, we came here today because we have important matters to find our second mother."

Lan Tian spewed out two tubes of anger from his nostrils, turned to Lan He with a cold face and said, "You are so courageous. It is your own business to want to come out of the closet, don't drag our Xiaojing into the water together."

"..." Cheng Xiaojing couldn't help laughing.

Lan He raised his hand and slapped him on the head, and shouted in a low voice, "You are the only one who can do it. The prophet foresaw that we are coming out of the closet."

Lan Tian became angry from embarrassment, and said: "You still have the guts to hit me. I'm your brother!"

There were footsteps behind him, Lan He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Cheng Xiaojing's arm, and said angrily, "Don't waste time with him. Let's go in first."

At this time, the half-open door was pushed open, and a beautiful middle-aged woman leaned out. When she saw Lan He, she immediately smiled warmly and said, "Oh, Lan He is back."

Lan He immediately turned his head, made a humble and obedient appearance, and bowed to greet the middle-aged woman.

"Aunt He, this is Cheng Xiaojing. Let's come back today to ask Second Mom about something. How is she doing?"

Aunt He was smiling all over her body, and suddenly froze when she saw Cheng Xiaojing, and she suddenly asked Lan He in confusion.

"What's going on?"

Lan He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Lan Tian suddenly rushed up, kicked Lan He, and said, "Mom is supervising Xiaodou's homework in the living room. If you want to go in, hurry up. There is no room at home for you to sleep in. Hurry up and finish talking."

Aunt He paled.

"Tiantian, why are you talking like that?"

Lan He held Aunt He down, turned her head and gave Cheng Xiaojing a wink, signaling him to go in first.
