crime puzzle

Lan Tian chased after him all the way in, Lan He turned his head impatiently, wanting to get rid of the man first, lest he make some troubles to hinder them.

Who knows, when he turned around, he saw Aunt He, who had always been facing Lan Tian, ​​holding Lan Tian and stopping in front of him, as if she was saying something.Aunt He turned her back to them, Lan Tian's face became even more terrifying,

Judging from the look on his face, it should be Aunt He who is teaching Lan Tian a lesson.

Aunt He never taught Lan Tian a lesson for her own affairs, and today this is abnormally strange.Lan He stopped and looked suspiciously at the two figures standing at the door, one tall and one short.

"Lan He?" Cheng Xiaojing called out to him.

Lan He came back to his senses.

Cheng Xiaojing stood not far from him and said, "Lead the way, I don't know your family well."

The door of the study was pushed in, Cheng Xiaojing turned his head and saw a woman sitting inside.

Liao Rongrong looked younger than Cheng Xiaojing imagined.No matter the facial features or the shape of the face, they are all just right and delicate, not too outline nor too restrained and poor.She wore a pair of rimless glasses,

When he heard the door, he raised his head reflexively.When he saw Lan He, his almond eyes narrowed slightly, and then he put down the tablet he was holding.

Lan He was a little nervous. After stepping through the door, he called his mother first, and then said in a low voice, "I brought a friend over, and I have something to ask you."

Next, Cheng Xiaojing was put in.

After Cheng Xiaojing entered, he looked up and found that Lan He was making tea respectfully, and Liao Rongrong was sitting next to him,

Tell him in a low voice which jar to put the tea in.Cheng Xiaojing saw that they behaved like their own mother and child, and swallowed the politeness that was at the bottom of his throat.

He stood quietly aside, waiting for them to notice him.

Lan He's attention was always on Cheng Xiaojing, so it seemed that he made tea half-heartedly.Liao Rongrong told him a few times, but it was not effective, so she reached out and snatched the teapot from his hand, and said with a cold face, "Go aside."

Lan He retreated back to Cheng Xiaojing with a hippie smile, and said in a low voice: "Our house has guests who drink tea made by ourselves. It's a bit laborious to make tea by ourselves. Let's wait."

Cheng Xiaojing nodded, it seems that today's guest is him.

Chinese tea does not have as many flashy steps as Japanese tea. Liao Rongrong pinched three teacups and set them aside, pouring tea while saying: "Sit down."

Lan He arranged Cheng Xiaojing opposite to Liao Rongrong, personally brought the tea to him carefully, and gave him a natural order.

"Be careful of the heat."

During the period, Liao Rongrong glanced at him, and Cheng Xiaojing saw it.

After Lan He took care of Cheng Xiaojing, he sat down next to him, and when he looked up at Liao Rongrong, his expression changed.

The skillful posture just now suddenly became stiff.

"Ah...that, Mom. He..."

Liao Rongrong closed his eyes, and asked casually, "Ask me what? If it's for investment, I only have two or three million yuan to use. If there is more, I will ask your father."

"No, it's not." Lan He said, "Just ask about some things from the past." He glanced at Cheng Xiaojing as he spoke, and made a serious mental construction.

"Mom, do you still remember the place before Lan Tian and I went to high school?" Lan He asked very carefully.

Liao Rongrong immediately frowned, and asked, "I want to ask you about my mother?"

Cheng Xiaojing didn't expect that Liao Rongrong would be so straightforward, and gave her a surprised look.

Lan He straightened his back and said, "Well. I won't hide it from you. I have been investigating this matter since I was sensible, and I haven't stopped until now. I always thought that I knew everything from you and Dad. Almost. Just found out, I don't know anything."

Liao Rongrong's eyes fell on Cheng Xiaojing's face, and said: "Yes. Because your father and I don't think it is necessary to tell you. The old things should be resolved by ourselves. There is no need to involve you."

"I remember you. It's Lan Tian's classmate." She turned to Cheng Xiaojing, and immediately confirmed Cheng Xiaojing's identity.

Cheng Xiaojing lowered his head and shouted respectfully.

"Hello, Auntie." This auntie shouted extremely awkwardly, this Liao Rongrong seemed to be of the same age as them, and calling her sister was not in violation of harmony.

Liao Rongrong didn't seem to hear, she continued: "Did you find out about this case because of your parents' case?"

Cheng Xiaojing couldn't help shouting loudly in his heart.

"Things are a bit complicated to say, mainly because I feel that my life is threatened, so I have to investigate the previous cases as a last resort."

Liao Rongrong looked at him in surprise, showed a cold smile, and said, "Really? When I saw you for the last time, I thought you would remember it forever. But I just realized it now."

Cheng Xiaojing responded with a helpless smile, and said: "I have a bad memory since I was a child. To put it bluntly, I don't remember many things that happened in high school."

Liao Rongrong stared at him and asked, "...don't remember? Is it because of your health. Most people will not forget that kind of thing that happened at home."

Cheng Xiaojing didn't expect that she would be interested in her physical condition, hesitated for a while, and said: "I haven't done a systematic examination, anyway, it didn't cause much obstacle to my life."

Liao Rongrong put aside the conversation, and bowed his head to drink tea in response.

Lan He took the opportunity to wink at Cheng Xiaojing.

Cheng Xiaojing cleared his throat and said, "However, the current situation does not allow me to mess around."

Liao Rongrong was silent for a long time, then suddenly sighed in a low voice, seemed to be very emotional, stared at the teacup in front of him and murmured: "It's true, life can't last forever."

Cheng Xiaojing heard her words seem to have a pun, and before she thought about it, she heard Liao Rongrong say: "What do you want to know?"

Cheng Xiaojing sat up straight and said, "I would like to know more about what happened in the research institute back then."

Liao Rongrong thought for a long time, and said: "You are a bit embarrassing for me. I was not married to Lan Shiyu when this happened. I only know that the experiment they conducted was about the development and development of human psychotropic drugs. Because this technology is relatively risky , the research was conducted in secret."

"Ge Xin..." Liao Rongrong paused, and said, "It's Lan He's mother, who is the person in charge of that project. Lan Shiyu is the one who is responsible for this project. After all, many technical details require experts in other related fields. Only with support can it go smoothly.”

"The research institute has been able to successfully carry out the project for five or six years. I can understand that all aspects of this project should be stable. Why is there an accident all of a sudden?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.

"I heard from Lao Lan that it was because of the divergence between technology and research and development." Liao Rongrong said: "Drug research and development, especially the development under capital operation, is actually for capital services. At that time, there was a link, in terms of drug ingredients , there are two ingredients - one is expensive and very strong, but the effect is very significant after taking it. The other is just the opposite, the effect needs a long stream of water. The price is not expensive. Ge Xin insists on using the latter, she thinks the drug itself It should be developed for every living person, and the solution that is most suitable for the human body and acceptable to the human body should be used, which is the best. As a result, there was a disagreement with the benefactor behind them who has always supported them."

"Of course, the funder stopped the financial support, and planned to fire Ge Xin and the people who supported her, and planned to continue the research and development as before. As a result, just before the dismissal was ready, something like that happened."

"Do you know the funder behind the research of the institute?" Cheng Xiaojing asked suddenly.

Liao Rongrong glanced at him in surprise, she smiled embarrassingly, and said in a low voice: "I was still in school at that time..."

Cheng Xiaojing heard her tone of evasion, and immediately said first: "You don't need to explain to me, just tell me if you know him or not."

It was probably the first time that Lan He saw someone act so tough in front of Liao Rongrong, he looked at Cheng Xiaojing worriedly, and explained for him: "This matter is very important to us, Mom, if you still remember a little bit, I hope You can tell us all without reservation."

Liao Rongrong's beautiful face was full of hesitation, and said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you..."

Cheng Xiaojing said: "The other party's identity is very special? Do you think that even if we know, we can't change anything?"

Hearing this, Liao Rongrong relaxed her frown a little.

"That's what it means. You are very smart, and you should be able to feel it. In fact, we deliberately covered up what happened back then."

Lan He's face darkened.

Feeling excluded and hearing others say that you are deliberately excluded are two different things.

At this time, he suddenly heard Cheng Xiaojing next to him say: "For this matter, I am very grateful to you for protecting us for so many years. But the time is almost up, and we have grown to the age where we can be responsible for ourselves. I hope you able to respect us."

These words touched Lan He's heart.The moment Cheng Xiaojing's voice fell, Lan He's depression was swept away.

Liao Rongrong didn't answer him directly, but asked a question.

"Does Guan Pengcheng respect you?"

"..." As soon as Guan Pengcheng was mentioned, Cheng Xiaojing had a bad feeling in his heart, he frowned, wondering if he knew he would find Lan He's house, right?

Liao Rongrong said: "When we were young, we were all very good friends."

Cheng Xiaojing said: "My memory in high school is fragmented, but I remember a few sentences very clearly. One sentence is that Lan He's father told me that at least I can't be folded in again. The second sentence is that Mr. Guan came to see me. When I said, your father and I have been friends for many years. To be honest, I can't figure out what old events behind these two sentences I don't know. "

Liao Rongrong opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Cheng Xiaojing said: "When I decided to face the past, I told Teacher Guan that the situation was different. I thank him for teaching so many useful things. Now I have enough ability to protect myself. He doesn't have to Give me~ worry about it."

Liao Rongrong suddenly laughed and said, "Guan Pengcheng is mad. When he took over you, he boasted that he would let you live in peace and stability for the rest of your life."

Cheng Xiaojing smiled, he knew that Guan Pengcheng was really angry.But thanks to Lan He's mother-in-law's character, she let him know about it early, so that when she saw him resign in the past, there was not much anger left in her heart.

"Okay." Liao Rongrong looked helpless, lowered his head and began to flip through his mobile phone, and said, "I do know the benefactor at that time, and this person has a little relationship with me."

It was past ten o'clock in the evening when he came out of Lan He's house. Lan He looked at Cheng Xiaojing fastening his seat belt and asked, "Now that people know, what are you going to do?"

After Cheng Xiaojing settled himself down, he immediately took out his mobile phone and said, "Let Chen Yifan monitor the person. Since it is related to Liang Yingping's case, it should be easy for him to find a way to get close to him."

Lan He was a little surprised and asked, "I thought you had to check his relevant information first."

Cheng Xiaojing glanced at him and said, "You are better than me at checking information."

Lan He laughed softly, stretched out his hand and took away the cell phone he was holding in his hand, and said, "It's too late, we'll talk about things tomorrow."

Cheng Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, glanced at the time on the car, and suddenly asked a little uncomfortable: "Is my mental state a little too excited recently?"

Lan He drove the car out of the garage at home, turned the steering wheel and exited the gate, and said, "Did you just find out? Ever since you came out of the hospital, it's like two people before."

Cheng Xiaojing laughed softly, and said: "Speaking of which, you kissed me right after I woke up in the hospital this time. At that time, I felt that your kiss awakened my soul that had been sleeping for more than ten years."

Lan He got goosebumps from what he said, and said, "Are you a little prince?"

Cheng Xiaojing raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "It's not a joke. You are really my prince."
