crime puzzle

Cheng Xiaojing verbal criticism, a series of words without panting.Everyone at the table was stunned - including those who knew and those who didn't.So the scene was silent, except for a few bewildered, most of the rest were shocked.

Only Lan Shiyu remained calm.

Lan He couldn't sit still anymore, he tried his best to stand up quietly, and lightly patted the blue sky next to Cheng Xiaojing.As soon as Lan Tian turned his head, he was dragged out with brute force.

Lan Tian was in pain from being pulled by him, his face turned down and he was about to explode.Lan He, with a sullen face, pushed him gracefully, as if the brute force dragging him just now was just an illusion.

"..." Lan Tian saw that he was pretending to sit on his seat, and his forehead was full of anger, but he heard Gong Bo who was next to him yelling at him: "Tian Tian, ​​sit by Gong Bo's side."

Lan He doesn't care much about what other people are feeling right now, his mind is full of what Cheng Xiaojing is thinking.These days they almost all go in and out together,

Cheng Xiaojing knew what he knew, and he thought that they should at least have reached the same idea in the past.

But now he found that he was wrong again.

Cheng Xiaojing's thoughts are not only different from his own, but also far beyond his expectations.

He glanced at Cheng Xiaojing's side face, which was tensed into a rigid line, and quietly reached out with the hand resting on his thigh.

Caught off guard ~ felt a cold.

He was startled for a moment, panic appeared in Cheng Xiaojing's eyes.

"Xiaojing, you..." Cheng Xiaojing's state reminded him involuntarily of the day he had dinner with Director Zhang, when he had mental problems.

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly became passionate, and the moment he regained his composure, he turned his head and glanced at Lan He.

The hand held by Lan He under the table broke free.Cheng Xiaojing took a short breath and said, "Why are you here, where is Lan Tian?"

Lan He Meifeng frowned and said: "What do you care about others? What about you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Why don't we go back. This meal is not very good either."

"... Lan He, be careful what you say." Lan Tian warned in a low voice.

Cheng Xiaojing hasn't answered yet.Lan He sat up straight and said, "I'm not wrong, do you think you guys are here for dinner?"

Lan Tian glanced at Cheng Xiaojing, and said: "Xiao Jing asked because he wanted to, and you forcibly interrupted his question. Have you ever asked his opinion?" Lan He sneered, looked at Lan Tian mockingly and said: "Oh, you actually learned to ask Xiao Jing's opinion, you were not like this before."

"Want to fight?" Lan Tian stepped forward, instantly forgetting the so-called occasion he emphasized with Lan He just now.

"Lan Tian, ​​Lan He." The silent Lan Shiyu finally spoke out, "If you two don't eat, go out. We are still talking about things."

Just as Lan He was about to speak, Cheng Xiaojing's hands under the table suddenly wrapped around him—this time it wasn't cold anymore.

Cheng Xiaojing said: "Don't interrupt the two of you when you are talking, Lan Tian, ​​please sit down."

Lan Tian rubbed his nose and sat back, very obedient.

Cheng Xiaojing looked up at Lan Shiyu again, and said, "I was wrong just now. No matter what, we must give Uncle Lan and the teacher a chance to defend themselves."

Guan Pengcheng muttered at the side and said, "I haven't contacted Ying Mingxian."

Lan Shiyu accepted his words and said: "Brother Guan is in the law, Ying Ming will cover the sky with his hands first, and he can't get on your head... Cheng Xiaojing, he is not as vicious as you think, but he just wants to kill him." I thought the truth was only announced to the world.”

Cheng Xiaojing asked: "What is the truth he thinks?... Or, what is the truth you hide in your heart?"

Lan Shiyu pursed her lips again and remained silent.

But this time, the expression on his face was a little lost, as if he was thinking about something.

Cheng Xiaojing leaned his upper body back on the back of the chair, lowered his face, and looked at Lan He's hand who was being played by him.

Lan He's hands are not as thick and bony as a tall and strong man's. Both the lines and the skin are extremely clean to the touch, just like his people.Cheng Xiaojing's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly threw away Lan He's hand, raised his eyes to look at Lan Shiyu again, his eyes became aggressive.

"Why don't you speak? Is it because you also feel that the truth you insist on is untenable and can't resonate with me?"

Guan Pengcheng finally lost his temper, he stretched out his hand to hold down Cheng Xiaojing, and rushed up to question Lan Shiyu himself.

"Let me ask first. Lan Shiyu, do you know that Ying Ming attacked Cheng Xiaojing several times first? You didn't stop him?"

Lan Shiyu's eyes slowly moved to Guan Pengcheng's face, and he suddenly asked a rhetorical question back.

"Brother Guan, if you had two important secrets in your hands, which one would you choose to keep?"

Guan Pengcheng hadn't been angry for many years, but this time he was really angry.

"Lan Shiyu... I really didn't expect... Didn't we talk about it well back then, everything was based on Xiao Jing's life? He is a human being, our junior. Are you not afraid of being punished by God for doing such a thing? "

Lan Shiyu sneered.

"Brother Guan, you are wrong to say this. No one has the obligation to be responsible for their lives from the perspective of others. Cheng Xiaojing is a person, and so are we. Everyone has their own life. Everyone has to be responsible for their own life." You are responsible for your life, you are responsible for your promise, and take care of Jiang Wanxin's son. I fulfilled the part I promised, and suppressed all the things related to the research institute back then. We have not broken our promises, and we are worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth."

Cheng Xiaojing and Lan Shiyu's eyes briefly met, and he suddenly saw a bit of revenge in the eyes of this middle-aged man who was over fifty years old.But he didn't feel hurt.

The person he was targeting was undoubtedly Guan Pengcheng.

"Don't use Xiaojing as a shield, I'm asking you." Once Guan Pengcheng's temper came up, no one could stop him.

Although Cheng Xiaojing's question did not get the answer he wanted, he had no intention of being involved in the quarrel between Guan Pengcheng and Lan Shiyu - even, he was quite happy to see them quarreling.

Lan Shiyu pondered for a moment, and said: "I have no reason to stop, I only agreed to Jiang Wanxin's request back then, it's your business to support Gu... Also, the matter of Ying Mingxian is not my responsibility at all. You should remember It's clear that the thing I'm most against the Institute from the very beginning is that you insist on going your own way. Oh, and your uncle is involved."

Guan Pengcheng's face changed, and he said angrily: "It has nothing to do with that old man, what we are talking about now is about Xiaojing."

At this time, Lan He suddenly struggled, he looked directly at Lan Shiyu, and asked, "Dad, you know that Xiaojing has been in danger two times over and over again?"

Lan Shiyu looked up at him.

"Lan He, ask some questions after thinking clearly. You have always been very smart, and you will never fail to understand why you~mother died in that accident, but you lived well. When you are in danger, you still want to Saving people, this kind of mentality is very dangerous.”

Goosebumps suddenly appeared on Lan He's body.

"What... what do you mean? I don't understand."

Lan Shiyu's face suddenly became tense, he lowered his face slightly, and said: "I have been able to get to this position, but my hands and feet have always been very dirty. Ying Ming wants to kill me first, it's easy. I'm not with you, Brother Guan. Similarly, you are upright, Ying Mingxian has nothing to do with you... I don't have your connections, background and money, so my life is harder than yours."

In this bunch of self-righteous nonsense, Lan He saw a chilling truth.

"I remember...the accident back then was caused by someone outside..." Lan He didn't dare to continue, he always felt that his father was innocent, and his mother's death was also an extremely painful thing for him things.

But now Zhen~xiang suddenly told him that everything was false.

His mother's death, maybe his father was the murderer.

Lan He only felt that the breath was blocked in his heart, and it was difficult to breathe.

Cheng Xiaojing said at this time: "So, Uncle Lan, you mean that you were responsible for the incident at the research institute?"

Lan Shiyu immediately denied it and said, "No, no, no, how could I do such a thing that is inferior to a beast, and my wife and children are involved in it. Ying Mingxian's brain is not comparable to that of ordinary people, he would not take such a risk. It's a big risk to let a vacillating piece of grass do such an important thing for him."

Cheng Xiaojing lowered his voice.

"Who moved the hand?"

Lan Shiyu pretended to recall deeply for a long time, and said, "Hire a murderer. It should be professional, otherwise the murder will not be treated as an accident in the final appraisal."

Cheng Xiaojing asked: "Do you know who did it?"

Lan Shiyu shook his head.

"I didn't know it at the time, but I found out when I checked carefully....Don't ask me why I didn't tell you, there are too many reasons, including my own."

Cheng Xiaojing clenched his fists and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Lan Shiyu looked at him with a smile, and said, "Cheng Xiaojing, I'm more professional than you in this respect. Even I can't touch Ying Mingxian, do you think you can?"

Cheng Xiaojing took a deep breath and said, "That means it was done very cleanly, without evidence."

Lan Shiyu regained the original indifferent look on his face, and said, "Cheng Xiaojing, that was a case more than 20 years ago. You and Lan He, the two survivors, deliberately let you go."

"Lan He is the only one, and I owe him his blessing." Cheng Xiaojing suddenly realized something, "At that time, you disclosed the information about the safety of the vent to Ge Xin, and the original intention was to let her escape with Lan He. "

Lan Shiyu's face froze, and he said, "I really don't want to hear this name. So many years have passed, is there any point in bringing up the events at that time?"

Cheng Xiaojing didn't want to let him go at all, and said: "You said that you only found out afterwards, which seems to be a lie. Although you are not there, you know very well what will happen in the research institute."

Lan He suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "So, what happened back then has something to do with you, Dad, and you will not save yourself..."

"Lan He, you haven't figured out who is dying." Lan Shiyu's eyes became colder.

Guan Pengcheng was full of lawsuits, and suddenly said at this moment: "This is all a mess... Lan Shiyu, what do you mean, Ying Mingxian has been using you to take revenge on the entire research institute? Is he crazy?"

Lan He looked at Guan Pengcheng in surprise, and said, "Don't you know? Ying Ming is a paranoid first, and he will do anything for Jiang Wanxin."

Cheng Xiaojing raised his eyelids, and suddenly he asked in a deep voice: "May I ask, what is the relationship between Jiang Wanxin and Ying Mingxian?"
