crime puzzle

After getting into the car, Lan Hecai said, "It's a bit troublesome, the other party is obviously avoiding us."

Cheng Xiaojing wondered: "The director of the police station is always busy, how could he take such painstaking efforts to hide suddenly? They knew we were coming?"

Lan He shook his head slowly, and said: "It doesn't seem like it's targeting us... When Director Zhang heard that I was Lan Shiyu's son, he talked nonsense with me very enthusiastically, but he didn't accept my appointment. .”

Cheng Xiaojing thought of what the little girl at the police station said.

"That's right. According to what the two little girls said, it's been a while since the people above gave orders. We decided to come here to deal with the matter of the day before yesterday. They reacted earlier."

Lan He muttered, "Did something happen?"

Cheng Xiaojing was silent for a while, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, he sat up straight, stared at Lan He and said, "When did Luo Liwei disappear?"

"If Chen Yifan did not say the wrong time, it should have been six days ago." Lan He replied.

"That's about the same..." Cheng Xiaojing said: "I suggest you make another phone call with Director Zhang and tell him that we are here for Luo Liwei's affairs. See if he is willing to meet with us in private."

Lan He really admired their spirit of saving the country with curves.When he put down his phone for the second time, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "See you tonight."

Cheng Xiaojing let out a breath, and leaned back heavily.

Seeing that his expression relaxed a little, Lan He felt relieved, and asked, "Are you hungry, can you find a place to eat?"

They didn't meet the acquaintances they thought they met, but finally found the direction to save themselves by the curve, and suddenly acquaintances rushed out of them.As soon as the two entered,

As soon as they sat down and ordered food, the proprietress of the restaurant suddenly looked at them and asked, "Are you... Cheng Xiaojing and Lan He?"

Cheng Xiaojing was shocked.However, looking at the slender woman in front of him, he couldn't remember who this person was for a while.

Lan He was calm and composed, and said, "Are you also a student in No. [-] Middle School?"

The woman exaggeratedly let out a sigh of relief, and said, "I just said I look familiar. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. The change is really great."

Cheng Xiaojing looked at Lan He's face. To be honest, he always thought that Lan He's facial features and figure had changed a lot, and ordinary people could not recognize him.

The woman continued: "I am in the same class as Cheng Xiaojing, Lan He, you are on the highest floor of the teaching building, and you are rarely seen at ordinary times. It is rare to come down once, just like a fairy descending to earth."

Lan He also recalled a little bit of the past, and said with a low laugh: "I have only descended to the world a few times, and you remember me so clearly?"

The woman was startled, showing shyness, and said, "Oh, it happened to be puberty at that time, which girl would not be pregnant. You are the dream of all the girls in the school."

All the girls in the school are staring at Cheng Xiaojing with an idiot expression~ Han said with a smile: "What about Xiaojing? I remember when Xiaojing enrolled in the school, the whole school was a sensation."

The woman looked at Cheng Xiaojing with a smile, and said: "If Cheng Xiaojing is like this now, I estimate that at least half of the girls in the school would have defected. How else can I say that the change is great."

"Ah? I've changed a lot too?" Cheng Xiaojing touched his face subconsciously.

Cheng Xiaojing has always felt that in terms of appearance, he has unique conditions, but he has never been able to break through this condition.His facial features and high school have not changed much except for his temperament.

"It's too big." The woman said with emotion: "You really didn't like to talk to people before. We are still in the same class. You must not have the slightest impression of me."

This is true.

Cheng Xiaojing didn't shy away either, he pointed to his brain and said, "I'm wronged, it's actually because my brain has been ill since I was a child, and I can't remember things."

The woman suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and the professional smile on her face froze.

"Ah, I don't know. I'm sorry, but now, is it cured?"

Cheng Xiaojing shook his head and said, "You say I've changed a lot, which proves that I'm getting better soon."

The woman suddenly laughed and said, "It's good that nothing is wrong. Now everything is worse than people, and nothing else is important."

This sentence made Cheng Xiaojing have mixed feelings. Fortunately, the store was busy enough, the proprietress settled them down, and immediately went to the kitchen with the menu.Lan He leaned against the table and whispered, "You really can't remember this person?"

Cheng Xiaojing raised his eyelids and said, "Don't tell me you remember."

Lan He frowned, and said, "I really remember. After you were pushed downstairs by Lan Tian, ​​you were hospitalized for a while. When you were discharged from the hospital, she organized the students in the class to visit you."

Cheng Xiaojing doesn't remember this part, but he still remembers the part when he was discharged from the hospital.

He pondered for a while, then tentatively said, "She... is our class committee?"

Lan He clicked his tongue and said, "Your logical ability is much better than your memory."

Cheng Xiaojing raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't want to accept his words as a compliment to himself.

Lan He continued to lower his voice and said, "I also went that day."

Cheng Xiaojing asked: "Accompany Lan Tian to apologize to me?"

Lan He's eyes moved, and then he asked carefully: "Logic, do you still remember?"

Cheng Xiaojing replied honestly: "Logic, it's common for Lan Tian to get into trouble, your family has always been you helping him clean up the mess, I still know."

Lan He smiled helplessly and said, "Yes."

Cheng Xiaojing asked again: "Cheng Xiaoguo was there at the time, right?"

"Yes." Lan He said: "Lan Tian and Cheng Xiaoguo have always had a grudge, and they started fighting as soon as they met."

What Cheng Xiaojing didn't expect was that although the premise had changed, this period of memory unexpectedly coincided with his own dream.

"What happened later? Cheng Xiaoguo disappeared not long after?"

"Well." Lan He said: "Fortunately, Lan Tian was closely watched by his family after that, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary during that time, and he accidentally disassociated himself from the case of Cheng Xiaoguo's disappearance."

Cheng Xiaojing thought to himself, there is still a little difference in the middle.

The blue sky in the dream didn't do nothing, after he had a fight with Cheng Xiaoguo, he went back to find someone to sit with Cheng Xiaoguo, so the later time was naturally brought in.

However, the reality turned out to be because of Lan He and the relationship was separated.

Lan He looked at his face and said, "I remember you mentioned Cheng Xiaoguo's disappearance last time, did you really care?"

Cheng Xiaojing didn't hide from him, nodded and said: "When I was young, his family took care of me, so I always have some feelings. Sometimes I think in a whimsical way that the death of my parents has nothing to do with Cheng Xiaoguo's disappearance. So I always think Going to check it out."

Lan He hummed, and said, "It's a pity that there is really no clue. The main reason is that something happened to their family. For so many years, this case has been hanging on the usury violence to get debts to death."

The word usury gave Cheng Xiaojing an idea immediately. He lowered his voice again and asked, "Didn't the matter of Li Zonglin's underground bank come out a long time ago? Haven't you found it yet?"

"Well," Lan He said: "There is no evidence. Cheng Gang and his wife died outside. There is no receipt for the loan."

"Can't find it?" Cheng Xiaojing said in surprise, "Impossible."

"The IOU must have existed, but the evidence will be destroyed when the person dies."

"The matter of the dead person, how can it be eliminated just by saying it?" Cheng Xiaojing paused, and suddenly said: "My father's money back then was paid off by your family, right? Is the IOU in your family?"

Lan He paused and said, "It should be."

"Then it's impossible not to have Cheng Gang's IOU." Cheng Xiaojing said in a low voice, "It must be somewhere..."

Lan He sighed and said: "There is no point in investigating this now. After so many years, Cheng Xiaoguo has not been found. Even if you have a big heart, the case will not be solved."

Cheng Xiaojing's enthusiasm was extinguished by Lan He, he took a deep breath, and suppressed the discomfort welling up in his heart.

"I also feel that you have changed a lot," he said meaningfully: "In high school, you didn't even need to ask, you just plunged into it by yourself, and the investigation was more enthusiastic than me."

Lan He coughed lightly, and said, "I was in the second stage of middle school, and it was mainly about my mother. I was really sensitive at the time, and felt that any clues might have something to do with my mother's death."

Cheng Xiaojing pondered for a while, and said, "Your intuition has always been very strong, maybe it really has something to do with it."

"Forget it." He wiped his face and said, "Let's keep our feet on the ground."

Cheng Xiaojing smiled.

The two finished their meal leisurely, and Lan He got up to pay the bill. When he turned around, he was confused and said, "These days, can you still pay for the meal as a classmate?"

Cheng Xiaojing passed him and glanced at the cashier.

The senior class committee member grinned at them and blinked coquettishly.

"No conditions?"

"Oh, there are." Lan He greeted him to get up, and said: "She asked how long we would stay here, but I didn't give her a fixed number. She just said that if you have time, come and hang around more, and eating at her place is not counted. Our money."

Cheng Xiaojing was dumbfounded, and said, "Is this okay? Is she doing business like this?"

Lan He glanced behind her and said, "I don't know what she's thinking, but as a businessman, of course you don't want free things for nothing."

Cheng Xiaojing didn't feel how shameful they were, and since Lan He had no objection, he had nothing to say.

After leaving the door, Cheng Xiaojing asked: "There is still one afternoon before evening, where should I go?"

Lan He looked at him and asked, "Why don't you... visit your house?"

Cheng Xiaojing's impression is that there is still a little way in his home town, so going there now will take a long time to go back and forth.

"It's too late," he said without hesitation, "I originally planned to take a day or two to go back and live there exclusively." If the time was too short, he felt that it was a bit of a loss.

But Lan He seemed to have made up his mind, holding the car keys, and said, "Go and have a look first, and prepare if there is anything to prepare. I don't know what your house looks like now."

"Didn't Uncle Gong say that on the way, did you get someone to clean it regularly?" Cheng Xiaojing said, "It's a bit old, but it shouldn't be a big problem to live in." His impression is that his house is indeed a bit small.

"A clean house doesn't mean you can really live in it." Lan He said, "Even more so, there are two big men living there. Always prepare something."

Cheng Xiaojing thinks it makes sense when he thinks about it, Lan He has always been more meticulous in the arrangements.

"Okay, let's go and have a look first. But you can figure out what to buy, I don't care."
