crime puzzle

Lan He's car followed closely behind Chen Yifan's car. The two were silent for a long time, and Cheng Xiaojing suddenly said, "Do you think there is anything wrong with the beneficiary that your second mother told us?"

Lan He said: "I sent the information to my assistant last night, and he sent it back to me before going to bed. To be honest, I care more about the other person my second mother mentioned than this benefactor."

When Liao Rongrong mentioned the past, apart from Lan He and Cheng Xiaojing who kept asking about the identity of the benefactor.She also mentioned another person in extremely cryptic terms.

"Ying Mingxian, neither the name nor the resume is particularly eye-catching. What you care about is why he is taken care of by someone as good as your second mother?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.

Lan He let out a breath and said: "It's not just that. Almost all the people in that group were involved in the matter of the institute, but he was the only one who stayed out of it. I found out that he went abroad very early,

Just check the time when he went abroad.It was the second year in which the earliest institute was created. "This time is not going up or down, and nothing can be judged.

"The second year?" Cheng Xiaojing murmured, "What else?"

"At the earliest time, he was also on the recruiting list of the research institute. My second mother also mentioned yesterday that my mother went to beg him in person, remember?" Lan He paused at this point,

"I checked and found that his grades in school were very good at the time, but he was introverted and suitable for research. And his graduation intention was to study the treatment of mental patients. Think about it,

If your friend invited you to an event that happened to be your favorite event, would you say no? "

Cheng Xiaojing pondered for a moment, and said: "Maybe there are other reasons? Family and his own situation, even a small reason may affect one's decision."

Lan He let out a sigh of relief and said, "...No, apart from the fact that he was married, I find it strange that this person is so clean."

Cheng Xiaojing laughed unceremoniously, and said, "What did you imagine? The crime must have its motive and reason, don't think about it."

Lan He was silent for a while, and suddenly heard Cheng Xiaojing ask: "Where is the benefactor behind that? Do you have any information?"

"Oh, this funder is also surnamed Guan. He is my second mother's direct tutor. He has always taken special care of my second mother when he was studying. But after the failure of the research institute, he also fell silent. He just retired this year and lives in the city center. In an antique community. Speaking of which, I really resemble you, Mr. Guan, both of you were high-spirited back then, but you have been keeping a low profile since you got old."

Once a person realizes that he is old, his state of mind will slowly calm down with his own state of mind.The sharpness of youth seems to have aged with the years overnight.

"Think of a way to ask?" Cheng Xiaojing thought for a while, and said, "The two of us are definitely not suitable, in case we are bugged and followed again."

Lan He nodded and said, "Let's find a suitable person. The surname Guan...does it have anything to do with Mr. Guan?"

Cheng Xiaojing hesitated for a while.Unable to hold back his doubts, he asked, "You just shifted your attention to someone else, maybe it's because of this person's surname."

Was discovered.

Lan He suddenly understood the mood when the assistant talked to Su Weiai, and he was guilty of being a thief.

"...You don't have many people close to you. You suddenly brought Teacher Guan into it, I'm afraid it will affect you." Last time he told Guan Pengcheng that he had resigned because of his own initiative, but the two parties seemed to be a little deadlocked.

Lan He originally planned to investigate first by himself, and if he found something, he would hand it over to Cheng Xiaojing to decide.It is better than random suspicion and hurting the hearts of people close to you.

"No need." Cheng Xiaojing said, "This is my business, I have my own direction of thinking. Lan He, don't beat around the bush if you want to help me, we don't have extra time to waste."

Things were undoubtedly moving fast, faster than they could move.Cheng Xiaojing's spirit has been in a tense state.He clearly discovered that someone controlled the whole incident behind the scenes.

Lan He wanted to explain to Cheng Xiaojing, but when he turned his head, he saw Cheng Xiaojing's brows were tightly tensed, and his face was terribly dark.Shut up wisely again.

Next time you do something, don't be too anxious.Cheng Xiaojing is really too shrewd.

After a while, Cheng Xiaojing opened his penguin and sent Su Weiai a message.

Su Weiai still maintains the professionalism of being on call 24 hours a day, sticking to the computer when she needs it, and she replied Cheng Xiaojing's message in seconds.

"Hyo Kyung!! How are you? Are you okay!"

Cheng Xiaojing replied to her.

"I'm on my way to the Municipal Bureau, maybe I can meet the teacher. By the way, let me ask you something!"

Su Weiai sent an emoji praying to God and worshiping Buddha.

"You port!"

"Does Teacher Guan have any relatives at Qi Lan's side? You often prepare things for him, have you heard of it?"

"It seems to be. I remember the teacher asked me to go to his relative's house once instead of him."

"The Jiaheyuan community in the city center?"

"That's right! Brother Hyo Kyung, you know it too!"

Cheng Xiaojing made an OK gesture to Lanhe and said, "I'm sure."

Lan He: "Really... Then Mr. Guan is an invisible local tyrant. After so many years of self-reliance, I thought he was an entrepreneurial talent. No, I remember that it was difficult when he first started his business."

Cheng Xiaojing said: "You think too much, he didn't want to open this firm back then. To be more honest, it was a mistake."

Guan Pengcheng's personality was more aggressive when he was young than now.When he was Cheng Xiaojing's mentor, he had already accepted cases in his current firm, and he had already made a very famous name in the industry.

It's just that the name is not very gentle.

In all the cases he handled, he crushed his opponents in the opposite seat with a one-sided crushing posture.Not only the essential win or loss of the case, but also the psychological blow to the opponent.

Guan Pengcheng told Cheng Xiaojing with his own achievements that if he wanted to be invincible, he must not show his flaws.

This kind of killing mentality is not suitable for running a business office.Cheng Xiaojing, as his proud disciple, also knew that Guan Pengcheng would accept the inside story of Pengcheng's firm.

"Teacher Guan once told me that he saw a lot of helplessness in the process of handling the case. Most people were self-inflicted, but there were a few that touched him very much. One was Wei Li's disguised self-protection, and the other was Li Yanxi gave up all self-protection." Cheng Xiaojing's emotions were rarely exposed, and when he narrated this memory, his mood sank unconsciously, "He told me before that the society we live in is too big, what? There are all kinds of people, and most of them are weak. No strong person will take the initiative to increase the burden to protect the weak, you can only do your best to protect yourself."

Lan He couldn't help asking.

"how about you?"

Cheng Xiaojing looked at him sideways, smiled lowly, and said, "I am lucky. Many people took the initiative to protect me. So I didn't have so many feelings before." Maybe there is really no pure love in this world, and many people They all live with their own purpose.

Lan He said: "I'm talking about Teacher Guan's evaluation of you. I think he should also be a strong person who will actively protect people."

Cheng Xiaojing pondered for a while, then shook his head with a little regret and said, "The teacher didn't evaluate it in front of me." He thought that Guan Pengcheng might not particularly care about what kind of person he is.

Lan He hesitated and said to Cheng Xiaojing: "Xiaojing, I have an idea. Although Mr. Guan is a great volunteer in reality, I always felt that the protection of you was very awkward. Is he really your father's friend? ?”

Cheng Xiaojing laughed and said: "You feel it too? Actually, this problem has troubled me for many years, until you told me about the research institute more than ten years ago, I guess they may have the same idea as you .”

Lan He had a look of disbelief, and asked, "Are you as wrong as I am?"

"No," Cheng Xiaojing said seriously, "I guess they didn't admit their mistake. I might really be the kid who came out of the institute. I'm just a little sorry, I don't remember anything."

The car suddenly became quiet.

Cheng Xiaojing glanced at Lan He strangely, and found that the man was expressionless, turning the steering wheel mechanically with both hands, as if unconscious.

He remembered what Lan He had said to him before, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Lan He glanced at him, as if belatedly annoyed.

"Why didn't you say it then?"

Cheng Xiaojing swallowed the smile at the corner of his mouth, sighed and said: "Because I'm not sure. And I feel that what I said is the same as what I didn't say. I can't meet your expectations. I'm sorry." Coupled with the timing, it's a bit pretentious. Suspect, he is so thin-skinned, think about it or forget it.

"That's not what I meant, Xiao Jing..." Lan He tried to make him understand his thoughts.

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly said: "Do you know what is behind this incident?"

Lan He asked puzzledly, "What?"

"I'm probably not my parents' child." Cheng Xiaojing said: "There are enough truths in front of me to seek. In addition, there is such an uncertain factor. I finally suppressed the truth for so many years. Negativity will explode."

If Cheng Zhen and Ye Gui are not his biological parents.Who are his biological parents?

Why is he in that institute?

Where are his biological parents now?Are they all dead too?why die?

Why did you leave him alone in that remote mountainous area, in that research institute that treated people as experimental subjects?

"I understand." Lan He said suddenly: "Then we'll discuss it after it's confirmed. In short, Xiao Jing, don't do everything by yourself. I wish you could let me do everything."

A childish voice suddenly flashed in Cheng Xiaojing's mind, as if someone had said such a sentence to him a long time ago.But only for a moment, like an illusion deliberately created because of the current environment.

He took a light breath and said, "Then later, Jinyi, you have to work harder."

Jin Yi was waiting for them in Chen Yifan's office.

After Cheng Xiaojing and Lan He were sent in together, Chen Yifan and Li Yanxi were isolated outside instead.

Chen Yifan gave Jin Yi the middle finger through the window - in front of his face.Li Yanxi had seen how skinny this person was, so he quickly dragged him away forcibly.

Facing Chen Yifan's bold and reckless provocation, Jin Yi snorted magnanimously, and raised his hand to gesture to the two people in front of him to sit down.

"Chen Yifan should have revealed something to you."

Cheng Xiaojing nodded briskly, but said: "We don't know anything about what happened back then, so I'm afraid we can't help Captain Jin."

Jin Yi turned a deaf ear to Cheng Xiaojing's prevarication, he held the recording pen in his hand, and pressed it down in front of Cheng Xiaojing.

The conversation between Luo Liwei and the two of them clearly filled the entire office.

Jin Yi said bluntly, "When did you know Luo Liwei?"

Cheng Xiaojing opened his mouth, but Lan He said: "Ten years ago, there was a forest fire in our hometown. The person who lit the fire was Luo Liwei, and Xiaojing and I were the victims. I didn't know his name at the time. But , we have told the police the truth."

Jin Yi buried himself in the record, lowered his head and asked, "What exactly happened at that time, can you recall it in detail?"

Cheng Xiaojing frowned.

That case was only briefly understood by concealing the thirty or forty corpses.But looking at this Jin Yi, he obviously wants to get to the bottom of it.

Lan He returned to him.

"As I said just now, we have reported all the details to the local police. After so many years, let alone Xiaojing's bad memory, I have forgotten many of them. Even if it is me, I can't guarantee that I can tell everything. Captain Jin wants as much detail as possible, so he should go to the local police to investigate the information."

Jin Yi looked at Lan He with a sullen face, and said, "If I could get it, I wouldn't stand here and ask you guys."

Lan He smiled at him helplessly, and said, "This is a bit difficult. Why don't you hypnotize me?"

Cheng Xiaojing was startled, and turned to look at Lan He.

Jin Yi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's get over this question first. I'll ask something else."

Lan He said shyly, "If we knew."

Jin Yi turned his gaze to Cheng Xiaojing and asked, "Does Luo Liwei have any accomplices?"

Cheng Xiaojing instantly thought of the other two people who were with Luo Liwei back then.

Lan He replied, "I don't know. Before that coffee, we didn't even know what Luo Liwei was."

Jin Yi didn't look at Lan He this time, but kept looking at Cheng Xiaojing.

"Lawyer Cheng, what do you think?"

Cheng Xiaojing looked up at him.

"Captain Jin, what Lan He said to you just now has given you the best direction for what happened back then. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, we are also investigating what happened back then. Otherwise, let's go together ?”

Jin Yi stared at Cheng Xiaojing, his facial expression was distorted.

"are you kidding me?"

Cheng Xiaojing put on an honest look, and said sincerely: "No, I'm serious. Since everyone's goal is the same, I may be the target of some people. Why can't we cooperate? We have to divide into two teams, Conceal each other, and then be eaten up by them one by one, only to regret it?"

Jin Yi, who regretted it a few times, looked at him without words and said, "Of course I personally hope that everyone can cooperate without any grievances. But things are not as simple as you think. There are too many people, and it is easy to scare the snake and implicate innocent people."

Cheng Xiaojing commented lightly.

"It looks like a big case."

"..." Jin Yi glared at him, and warned in a low voice, "Don't speculate on what I said!"

Cheng Xiaojing smiled and said, "I'm not kidding you anymore. Let me show you my cards. We may know more than you think. But it's too piecemeal, and many things can't be connected. If Officer Jin can help us If you complete it, the effect may be very good.”

Jin Yi is skeptical.

"for example?"

"Lan He is a survivor of that case more than 20 years ago. How about this one?"

"..." Jin Yi looked at Lan He in horror.

Lan He wiped his hair from his forehead, shook his head coldly and angrily, and said, "My mother's name is Ge Xin."
