crime puzzle

Two hours later, Lan He drove the car refreshed and satisfied.Cheng Xiaojing curled up on the co-pilot feeling uncomfortable, turned his head and said angrily: "Find me a place to take a shower in town first!"

Lan He said something shamelessly.

"Didn't wash it clean? No way, I'm a pro at any rate."

Cheng Xiaojing looked gloomy.

"I don't mind finding a place to beat you up first."

Lan He smiled meanly, and said, "Hey, don't be like this. Anyway, this has fully fulfilled my long-cherished wish for many years. The Sa family has lived a worthwhile life!"

"Get out~ damn it!" Cheng Xiaojing was completely annoyed by him.

In the end, Lan He still puts Cheng Xiaojing first in everything. On the way, Director Zhang called. He checked the time and deliberately delayed it for half an hour.The two found a fast hotel, bought clothes to take a shower, and dried themselves up and down.

Just went to the appointment.

Director Zhang is worthy of being a local tyrant. As soon as the two arrived at the place, they realized that the place where they met was really grand.Lan He secretly wrote down the address, planning that if the village head's small bungalow was uncomfortable,

They move here.

People were already waiting for them inside.As soon as they entered, they saw a man sitting with his back facing them in the innermost corner of this magnificently decorated hotel.Lan He looked around and found that only the corner of the hall was still dimly lit with a light, so he stepped over.

When the three of them met, Lan He's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, it's you!"

Director Zhang was a little confused and asked, "Do you still know me?"

"The case of Cheng Xiaoguo's disappearance, you once went to Xiaojing's house to ask about the situation, and you happened to pass me by at that time." Lan He said casually.Cheng Xiaojing looked at him in surprise,

When he was in high school, Lan He did a lot of things with a purpose. All the casual things in his mouth were actually arranged by him deliberately.

It's really stupid~ son.

Obviously the person on the other side is really an idiot.

Hearing Lan He talk about Cheng Xiaoguo's case, he was inexplicably melancholy, and said, "It's been so many years since that case, and there has been no news. It's a heartache in my career."

Lan He heard that he seemed to be particularly concerned about this case, and asked, "There are so many unsolved cases, why does Director Zhang care so much about this case?"

Director Zhang had a weather-beaten face, it would be a bit frosty and the eggplant sank, leaning on his arms that were stuck on the table, he insisted on supporting his huge body.

"It's really tragic." He was full of emotion. "At that time, I thought, no matter what, one should find this child and tell him that something happened to his parents and he will never come back. Let him not No matter how ignorant you are, such an adult still plays and runs away from home."

Cheng Xiaojing was in a daze, and then remembered the case of Cheng Xiaoguo's disappearance. Everyone really thought that he had run away from home.

"In the end, I didn't expect this disappearance to last for more than ten years." Director Zhang lowered his head and asked, "Drinking?"

Lan He raised his hand to refuse, saying, "I'm going to drive later, let's have some drinks."

Without further ado, Director Zhang poured three cans of Red Bull.

"..." Lan He stared at the drink full of hormones, and gave Cheng Xiaojing a guilty look.The face of the other party turned darker, he hurriedly waved to the waiter, and abruptly changed two bottles of green tea in front of Director Zhang.

Cheng Xiaojing began to speak out, saying: "...Since director Zhang is familiar with Cheng Xiaoguo's case, then he should also be clear about the fire in the mountains."

Director Zhang visibly froze for a moment. He looked at the two young men opposite him again, and asked hesitantly and vigilantly, "You..."

Cheng Xiaojing deliberately lowered his hand and said, "Director Zhang, don't be nervous, we're just here to ask. Do you still remember the two children who were rescued from the mountain at that time?"

Director Zhang shook his head and said, "I didn't participate in that incident. However, when I looked at the files afterwards, I paid attention to it, and I knew something."

Cheng Xiaojing and Lan He glanced at each other.

Lan He sat up straight and said, "He and I were the parties at that time."

Director Zhang's whole face was like a kaleidoscope in an instant, ever-changing and wonderful.

"You...then what are you asking? No one knows what happened at that time better than the person involved." Director Zhang was puzzled.

Cheng Xiaojing let out a deep breath, and said: "Because the truth of the matter is much deeper than what we saw at the time, people who knew the inside story knew it at a glance, and our age at that time should not belong to the category of knowing the inside story." people."

Director Zhang sighed and said: "To be honest, I also asked the people involved in that incident in private at that time, and they only told me that it was definitely a big case. I thought that since it was a big case, it would definitely explode after a short time. Come out. I didn't expect that after your father and the others left, these people who knew about it would start to be transferred away one by one."

"Been transferred?" Lan He immediately grasped the key point in this sentence.

"Well, to be precise, it's promotion." He laughed out loud, and said, "It's also possible that I'm jealous, and all the people promoted are related to that incident. Sometimes I wonder, could it be They made great contributions to that case, so they were chosen by the people above. On the other hand, we ourselves, a disappearance case turned into a non-complaint case, it really is a waste."

Lan He tentatively said: "...Actually, strictly speaking, the case is not considered solved."

Director Zhang squinted, looked at Lan He blankly, and said, "Impossible...the higher-ups have specially downloaded documents..."

Lan He deliberately gave him enough time to react and digest, and said slowly: "We asked you to check for this matter. The document from above defined the fire in the back mountain as an accident, and also concealed the fact that it was found on the mountain at that time. number of dead bodies."

"Concealed the number?" Director Zhang was a little prepared when he heard Lan He's words, but when he actually heard it, he was still surprised. "Four or five people died are enough to be a major case."

"Accidental death is not a big case," Cheng Xiaojing said: "This number is actually just right. If it is too small, it will not be fooled by the level of mobilizing people at that time. If it is too many, it will be more than just an accident."

Director Zhang only noticed this handsome man at this time, he had already classified the matter Lan He said as important and confidential, seeing Cheng Xiaojing, a face-faced person beside him, instinctively became vigilant.

"Who is this……"

Lan He frowned and said, "I just said it, he and I were both involved in that incident back then."

Director Zhang was at a loss for a while, and suddenly said: "Hey, I really don't know what happened at that time. But what you said...is it true?"

"We came all the way from the north just to tell you a false news?" Lan He asked back, "If it wasn't about the truth of the case back then, we wouldn't have bothered so much."

Director Zhang thought about it, and he looked at Cheng Xiaojing twice more, as if he suddenly felt a little familiar, and said, "I seem to think you look familiar."

Cheng Xiaojing, who has been silent all this time, said: "My name is Cheng Xiaojing, Cheng Zhen who was involved in the car accident at that time was my father."

Director Zhang looked at the two opposite people in astonishment, suddenly embarrassed.

"I thought...you came here for Luo Liwei's case..."

"Luo Liwei has been missing for so long, have you received instructions from above to investigate the case of that year?" Lan He asked following the topic raised by Director Zhang.

Director Zhang looked at them hesitantly, and said, "I have never been able to figure out what the relationship between the case and Luo Liwei was?"

Cheng Xiaojing said in a deep voice: "It has a lot to do with it. Luo Liwei was the one who set fire to that mountain back then, including which corpses."

It took a while for Director Zhang to recover.His complexion was much darker than when he first started. It seems that the news that Lan He brought over is really not a little bit heavy.

Halfway through the meal, Director Zhang said: "I regret knowing so much now. After so many years of handling the case, I can more or less hear that the things behind this case are not simple."

Lan He raised his head and smiled at him, and said, "Director Zhang, don't be so stressed, we didn't ask you to investigate the case, you just have to pretend you don't know anything about it."

Director Zhang gave him a sideways look and said, "I'm a policeman after all, and you told me to shut up. Isn't that too much?"

Lan He smiled casually.

"That's embarrassing. I thought you were suppressed by the top, and you would not take the risk of investigating the case."

Cheng Xiaojing didn't have Lan He's idea of ​​peacemaking. He said more directly: "People with status like you have too many eyes watching you, and you are not quick enough to do things. There is also the risk of scaring the snake, so it is not as good as us."

"..." Director Zhang has worked as a policeman for so many years, and this is the first time I heard that it would be inconvenient for them to investigate cases as a policeman.

Cheng Xiaojing continued: "So, I think, we can find a more suitable way of cooperation, you just need to help me do what you can."

Director Zhang feels that this beautiful man in front of him is a very fuel-consuming lamp, and every word he says carries a forceful pressure, which makes you want to agree involuntarily in your heart.

Fortunately, he was able to be the director and still has a little concentration.

"Then I need to know your goals every step of the way." He also patiently explained his purpose, "As a policeman, I will definitely not be able to do muddle-headed things."

Lan He nodded and said, "Of course. We'll report to each other during the process, is that okay?"

Cheng Xiaojing frowned slightly, but still restrained himself from making a sound.

Compared to Cheng Xiaojing, Director Zhang believed in Lan He's promise more, he nodded and said: "Lan Shiyu's reputation has always been good, I just take it for his sake."

Lan He smiled hippie and said, "Thank you then."

Director Zhang asked: "Then what are you going to do in the first step?"

Lan He said: "Let's find out the case of the year first. There must be files on the details of the case. If it is convenient for Director Zhang, just find it out and show it to us."

Director Zhang did not explain: "Didn't you all provide those transcripts?"

Lan He glanced at Cheng Xiaojing next to him, and said: "Xiaojing's brain has some problems, and I can't remember the details at that time, so I want to see what I said back then, maybe it can help him remember something we have ignored. The details come out."

Director Zhang took a look at Cheng Xiaojing, and said with a little regret: "Then Cheng Xiaojing, how are you doing now? Your body is the capital of the revolution, young people must take care of themselves."

"..." Cheng Xiaojing didn't expect that one day he would be warned by a middle-aged man who was a round older than him to pay attention to his body.

After talking about things, the two talked in a low voice while walking towards the parking spot.

Cheng Xiaojing seemed to have forgotten how angry he was with Lan He before, and leaned close to him with a friendly expression, and whispered, "Do you think Director Zhang is reliable?"

Lan He shook his head honestly, and said, "It looks pretty honest. If you're worried, let's keep it for now."

"It should be kept a little bit." Cheng Xiaojing said.

The cell phone rang suddenly at this time, Cheng Xiaojing stopped and looked at the screen with a frown.

It was Li Yanxi who called.

As soon as Cheng Xiaojing got on the phone, he started yelling.

"Xiao Jing, where are you fooling around so late! There is news to tell you that none of you can be found!"

Cheng Xiaojing hesitated for a moment, and said, "You're out there, let your fart go!"

Li Yanxi smiled wretchedly on the opposite side, and then said in a very low voice: "Li Zonglin was reported, the evidence is all clear, and now he is squatting in the cell waiting to be eaten."

Cheng Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, and thought instinctively—who is so small, and specially chose the time when Luo Liwei was missing to mess with Li Zonglin.

"Have you asked Chen Yifan?"

"I've asked." Li Yanxi coughed heavily, and replied, "It wasn't reported by the police through internal channels."
