crime puzzle

Cheng Xiaojing didn't sleep all night.

Cheng Xiaoguo's incident gave him too much sense of déjà vu, filling many vacancies that had been blurred in his memory.

Although in previous memories, it was his father who died, but now it was clearly replaced by his uncle and aunt.The method of death was also changed from a car accident to murder.

He pondered over the matter of usury carefully.

The matter of usury may have existed in his previous memory, but he didn't know it because no one like Lan He appeared to tell him about it.

According to this inference, if usury is the real reason, then the car accident that year can also be related to this.It's just because I didn't know it, so the reason was annihilated.

So what is the cause and effect of this usury?The two brothers Cheng Zhen and Cheng Gang are not fools, especially his father.Compared with Cheng Gang, Cheng Zhen's personality is much more stable. If he was not forced to, he would not easily get involved with this terrible thing.

Is he going to ask Cheng Zhen what happened?

Cheng Xiaojing didn't know when he fell asleep.When he woke up with a start, it was already light outside.He shuddered, and his chaotic mind suddenly cleared up.

He sat up with a whoosh, and looked at the alarm clock that he had purposely placed next to his ear.

Half an hour earlier than he expected.

He lay back again, staring at the ceiling of the room, sorting out yesterday's random thoughts in his mind again.For some reason, there seemed to be waves of agitation in his heart for no reason, which made him unable to feel at ease.

The train of thought continued to the last question from last night.

The young mind after waking up in the morning made his thoughts clearer than last night.

If you ask Cheng Zhen about usury, as his own son, you probably won't be able to ask anything.Cheng Zhen's character and temper are right there.

Since he has taken on all the pressure of the family, it is impossible for him to transfer this pressure to his son.

This is fatherly love.

After a quarter of an hour, Cheng Xiaojing sat up again.

Seeing her son running down the stairs, Ye Gui poked his head over and asked, "Are you still going to school today?"

Cheng Xiaojing responded and said, "No, I'll go buy breakfast."

Which mother doesn't like her son to be filial, Cheng Xiaojing's casual lie made Ye Gui feel at ease, and immediately smiled and said: "Go, the money is in the big drawer, take it yourself. Wear a coat when you go out."

Cheng Xiaojing yelled to wear it, took the money and ran out of the house.

In the early morning, the air in the small mountain village was fresh, Cheng Xiaojing took a deep breath, and was about to go out, when he heard Cheng Zhen call out to him from behind.

He turned around in surprise.

Cheng Zhen looked a little gloomy, glanced at the kitchen, and waved to him again.

This is what he wants to say, but his mother can't hear it.

Cheng Xiaojing immediately thought of the affairs of Cheng Xiao's country, and immediately ran back, asking in a low voice, "Dad?"

Cheng Zhen looked at him, sighed, and said, "I heard that the school talked to you about Xiaoguo, what did you ask?"

This is the rhythm of a long talk, Cheng Xiaojing subconsciously looked at the pendulum clock on the table at home, fortunately he got up earlier.

"Our class teacher told me that if you know about Xiaoguo, you must tell her as soon as possible."

Cheng Zhen's face changed, and he cursed in a low voice: "Nonsense, what does the disappearance of their family have to do with you. How did you reply?"

"I..." Cheng Xiaojing scratched his head, the original words he replied were a bit beyond the attitude a student should have, he didn't know if his own father would break his leg if he told the truth.

He still has important things to do, so it's better not to make extra troubles.

"I just said that I asked the wrong person about their family's affairs. If I knew about it, I would have said it long ago, and I wouldn't hide it. It wouldn't do me any good to hide it."

Cheng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured: "That's right. Jingjing, from now on, you can get rid of Cheng Zhen's family if you can, you know?"

Cheng Xiaojing thought, it's too late.He can't be blamed for this matter, who let Cheng Xiaoguo hit himself on the head.

Cheng Zhen saw that he was silent, and said, "However, you have always been cold-tempered, so you probably wouldn't do such unnecessary things, just remember what Dad told you."

"Oh..." Cheng Xiaojing wondered if he should ask about loan sharks casually, otherwise, according to today's posture, he would never find a chance in the future.

Cheng Zhen sighed, patted his arm, and said, "It's only a few years, and we'll be fine when we get through it."

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly asked in a low voice: "Dad, I want to ask you something."

Cheng Zhen was about to go back to the house when he heard the voice and stopped, squinting at him.

Cheng Xiaojing approached a little bit, and asked: "I heard that Cheng Xiao's country is like this because of loan sharks...Dad, do you know where they borrowed loan sharks from?"

He had expected that Cheng Zhen would be angry when he heard these words, but he didn't expect Cheng Zhen to be so angry.

Cheng Zhen's face darkened immediately, and he scolded angrily: "Where did you hear the nonsense from? Do you believe everything they say? Our Cheng family is not someone who has never seen the world. Such a dirty thing."

"...' Cheng Xiaojing was dumbfounded by the scolding. Although his father was very strict in his impression, he never swears in front of him. Is this out of control? Is the loan shark really the key.

Ye Gui ran out of the kitchen when he heard the commotion, saw the father and son standing at the door, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong? You scolded your son early in the morning, did he offend you?"

Cheng Zhen's face was still dark, and he said to Ye Gui: "What's the matter with you, go in and cook your meal."

"You scolded your son for no reason, so I can't see it?" Ye Gui also showed some displeasure, she winked at Cheng Xiaojing, and said: "It's rare for Jingjing to go early to buy us breakfast, but you still scold him How can there be such a father."

Cheng Zhen glanced at him, and said irritably, "Buy breakfast and go quickly. There will be nothing in a while, and you still have to eat a fart."

Cheng Xiaojing quickly turned around and ran away.

Cheng Xiaojing ran over to buy breakfast, deliberately circled around to see if there was no one around, turned around and slipped up the mountain.

He purposely walked a little deeper into the mountain, lowered his voice and called Cheng Xiaoguo twice, and then called Xiaoguo again.

Only now did Cheng Xiaoguo stick his head out furtively.

Cheng Xiaojing walked towards him and handed him all the breakfast in his hand.

The few biscuits in Cheng Xiaoguo's stomach were long gone, and he hadn't eaten anything warm for a few days, this first meal was like a dog chewing on it.

Cheng Xiaojing swallowed for no reason, and asked, "Did no one come up the mountain last night?"

"No." Cheng Xiaoguo said, "By the way, when you go back later, ask if there are any strangers who have come to our village recently. Especially those who wander around my house. Most likely they are those people."

Cheng Xiaojing said: "I will pay attention, but I think they should not dare to hang around your house."

Cheng Xiaoguo asked: "Why?"

Cheng Xiaojing said: "I didn't tell you yesterday, but the news about your parents came back a few days ago."

Cheng Xiaoguo was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun, and said, "...it's been so many days, it's about the same..."

Cheng Xiaojing found that Cheng Xiaoguo's spirit was much more stable than last night, and he didn't know if it was because his comforting words last night had an effect, or if he finally faced the reality after suffering for so many days .

"What are your future plans?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.If those people are really still looking for Cheng Xiaojing, at least he won't be able to show up for a while.

Cheng Xiaoguo asked: "I... thought about it before, should I call the police?"

Cheng Xiaojing nodded, Cheng Xiaoguo should really call the police immediately when encountering such a thing.No matter what happens in the end, at least the police can protect his personal safety, and he doesn't have to live and sleep like this.

"However, the police have only been here for a few days last time, and they probably won't come in the next few days. If you go there to call the police... we are far from the city, can you go there alone?"

Cheng Xiaoguo trembled and said, "I can try, there is no other way."

Cheng Xiaojing thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go with you."

"You?" Cheng Xiaoguo sniffed, and said, "Forget it, you are a sick child who can fall down when the wind blows. I won't be able to afford it if I bump into it."

Cheng Xiaojing squinted at him and said, "Hehe, I don't know who bought you breakfast."

Cheng Xiaoguo suddenly laughed, he sighed, and said: "I'm sorry, I was too naive before, and I can't get used to you."

Cheng Xiaojing shook his head and said, "It's inevitable, I don't like you very much either." People always have likes and dislikes, but he is more mature and doesn't like to do childish things.

"Actually, I hate Lan Tian more than you. Let me remind you, you must not provoke Lan Tian, ​​he is not a good thing in his bones." When Cheng Xiaoguo mentioned him, his face was full of disgust.

Cheng Xiaojing sighed, and said, "Your family's affairs are really beyond his ability." Even if it really has something to do with the Lan family, it can't be Lan Tian.Cheng Xiaojing is certain about this.

Cheng Xiaoguo said: "I didn't say he did it, I just followed his usual style. That Lan He, be more serious. He is also reasonable in doing things."

Cheng Xiaojing was taken aback when Cheng Xiaoguo mentioned Lan He, and asked, "You still know Lan He." He felt that he didn't know much about Lan He.

"Lan He is the kind of person who has a bottom line at first glance, and he looks very measured in what he says and does. Last time there was a fight outside the hospital, he knew he had to cure Lan Tian. You don't know that Lan Tian can even play tricks in fights." Cheng Xiaoguo's indignant appearance seemed to have an unshakable hatred for Lan Tian.

Cheng Xiaojing knows in his heart that Lan Tian's character like this is very hated, but it is also true that he is sincere to someone.He didn't want to question Lan Tian's dedication to him for so many years.

"Don't talk about their family." Cheng Xiaojing cut off the topic, and said instead: "You eat first, and think about how to call the police. I will bring something to you tomorrow."

Seeing him standing up, Cheng Xiaoguo was a little disappointed, and said, "Can't you come at night? I'm going to be hungry all day."

"Be patient, I come here too often, and people will suspect you. If you are found out, you will be in trouble." Cheng Xiaojing patiently explained to him, and then extended his hand to him, "Give me that plastic bag."

Cheng Xiaoguo looked at him vigilantly, and asked, "Why, you didn't even leave me the bag."

Cheng Xiaojing bowed and pulled back the plastic bag he was holding in his hand, saying: "You are usually forgetful, if someone goes up the mountain, they will be suspicious when they see this plastic bag."

Cheng Xiaoguo smiled and said: "You are too careful, who would doubt a plastic bag." After thinking about it, he felt scared, and suddenly got up and walked around, saying, "Look again, I didn't leave anything behind. Bar."

Cheng Xiaojing saw that the sky was already bright, and said, "I'll go around the back mountain so as not to run into anyone. That's the same sentence..."

"Be careful on my own, right." Cheng Xiaoguo said with a smile: "I see, you don't have to keep nagging me like a bitch. Go back quickly, so that uncle and aunt won't worry about you."

Cheng Xiaojing heaved a sigh of relief, Cheng Xiaoguo seemed to have reassured himself in this way, and it would be convenient for him to do things in the future.

He made a detour and went back to buy another breakfast.

Before I got to the door of the house, I saw someone standing at the door from a distance.At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sun was full today. The rising sun seemed to be inlaid around Lan He's side, making this person's profile even more clear.

Looks good, but the timing is not right.

What did he come to find himself so early in the morning?
