crime puzzle

Lan He knew that Cheng Xiaojing had plans in his mind, which basically meant that he had a countermeasure, but even if he had a countermeasure, it would not work without the equipment to deal with it.

He imagined the scene of facing several ruthless and experienced opponents who chased and killed two helpless high school students, and he was shocked immediately.

"It's not enough to rely on the brain, this is the reality." He muttered.

Cheng Xiaojing glanced at him and hummed.

Lan He helped to finish eating the steamed stuffed bun, stuffed his stomach, burped with the smell of steamed stuffed bun, got up and said, "No, I have to go. Xiaojing, I'll go back first, and come back at noon."

Cheng Xiaojing looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Aren't you having dinner at our house?"

Lan He pointed to his stomach, shook his head and said, "Can I still eat..."

"..." Cheng Xiaojing understood, so he waved to him and said, "Go, come back after you digest."

Cheng Xiaojing hesitated for a while, and hurriedly called to Lan He who was about to go out, and said, "Can you bring me a map at noon? It's best if you can find more details nearby." Ordinary people don't have this kind of thing, so they can only make it Only the Lan family in the land business can have it.

Lan He left in a hurry, and Cheng Xiaojing didn't see him off either.

Tomorrow came quickly and he was pressed for time.He sat at the desk in a daze for a while, then got up and went to the closet to find a brand new school uniform that he hadn't worn.Fortunately, there really is, otherwise this plan would really not be able to go on.

He rummaged through the drawers of his desk again, thinking, at least he had to find one that could defend himself.

In the end, only a few pencil-sharpening knives were found.

Looking at the thin blade, there was a flash of light when he turned it over, Cheng Xiaojing's heart trembled.For no reason, he thought of the biting cold feeling that Gong Shuzhen had stabbed into his body with a knife before he came back here.

He looked dazed for a while, and vaguely felt a little pain transmitted to himself from the lower back of his body.

It was just a little bit at first, but the pain became more and more painful, as if a knife was really stabbed there, and it was still going deep into my own flesh and blood little by little.

Cheng Xiaojing's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he walked to the bedside and sat down with his arms covered, his eyes were a little blurry.

It seemed that it took a long time, and someone seemed to be calling my name in my ear.

"Xiaojing...Cheng Xiaojing...don't scare me, wake up!"

Cheng Xiaojing was in a trance, and when he was about to fall into unconsciousness, someone suddenly grabbed his arm, shook it twice vigorously, and he managed to open his eyes.

Lan He still had that immature face, his face was a little pale, as if he was quite frightened.

Someone reached out and touched his forehead.

The cold feeling touching his body made him shiver involuntarily.

Ye Gui was taken aback by his reflex action, and asked, "What's wrong? Suddenly..."

Cheng Zhen stood on the other side, bowed his body to look at Cheng Xiaojing for a while, and said, "Maybe he's in a nightmare, you should calm him down."

Ye Gui got up a little at a loss and said, "Then I'll go find Cheng and Mi Sheng."

Cheng Xiaojing came back to his senses, sat down and said, "Why are you back again?"

It was Lan He who asked.

Lan He froze for a moment, raised his wrist, and showed him the watch on his wrist.

Cheng Xiaojing rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm poor now, don't show off your wealth in front of me."

"..." Cheng Zhen was amused by him, laughed lowly, and said, "I'm going down, you guys play."

Cheng Xiaojing looked at Cheng Zhen's back, and hurriedly shouted: "Dad."

Cheng Zhen stepped halfway out, then looked back, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Can you give me some money? I want to go to the city to buy some books." Cheng Xiaojing straightened his waist and said, "Go tomorrow morning and come back in the afternoon."

Cheng Zhen hesitated for a moment, then took another half step.

Cheng Xiaojing is a little nervous, no matter what, money is indispensable.He is still a poor student and has no financial freedom, so he can only bow his head to others.

"Later, I'll ask your mother to give it to you."

Lan He saw the person leaving, and asked, "Do you want to lock the door?"

Cheng Xiaojing met his eyes and said, "Lock."

Lan He immediately got up, went up and tossed for a long time before locking the door, turned around and said: "Your lock is more complicated than mine, where did you buy it, I will buy one too..."

Cheng Xiaojing looked at him with a complicated expression, and asked, "Your curiosity is no less than that of Lan Tian."

Lan He closed his mouth and said, "I'm just talking casually."

Cheng Xiaojing thought that he was not a character who just talked about it casually, so he replied: "There is a company called Yangzi Lock in the town, and all the locks in our house are made by his family."

Lan He let out an oh.He glanced at the door again, got up sneakily, and took out a bag from the other side of Lan He's bed.

Cheng Xiaojing stared at the bag in his hand and said, "What is this? It doesn't seem to be mine."

"I found it at home when I went back in the morning." Lan He fumbled in the bag for a while, took out a fruit knife from it, and said, "Knives are controlled outside now, and children of our age can't buy this kind of knife." thing."

Cheng Xiaojing saw that this thing was much bigger than his pencil sharpener, and it was not too big, especially suitable for his current body shape.

"It's too dangerous for you to go out this time. I don't have enough things to defend myself. I don't worry." Lan He put the knife in the bag, handed him the whole bag, and said, "Take this bag, I'll hide it inside." A lot of things."

"..." Cheng Xiaojing felt that being polite to Lan He at this time might make his life less polite. He reached out to take it, lowered his head to look inside, and saw the money wrapped in paper at a glance .

He raised his head suddenly and asked, "Why did you give me the money?"

He can get his wish by giving props, but the money...

"Use it." Lan He said confidently, "Although you can't spend much money outside, you are not going out alone this time. If you have money, if something happens, those who are blind to money , maybe it will look at the money and let you find a chance to get out."

Lan He thought to himself that this person probably has never seen a truly vicious person.People like that don't see money.

He sighed, but he didn't insist on talking about money.

This is Lan He's intention, he is truly worried about himself, and Cheng Xiaojing doesn't want to refuse.

"Are you stupid?" Cheng Xiaojing smiled, "It is said that young people in adolescence are especially good at making up their minds. I have seen it."

Lan He blushed when he said that, and said, "You are as old as me."

Cheng Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize that he was still 17 years old. My 17-year-old self.

There is no problem with my 28-year-old self having that bold idea.

The 17-year-old self who has never had many friends suddenly said that he wanted to help Cheng Xiaoguo. To Lan He, this sentence probably made him look a little unusually tall.

Lan He said: "To be honest, I don't quite understand your intentions in doing these things. But it's a good thing. If I can help, I will definitely help."

Cheng Xiaojing heard the hope and helplessness in Lan He's words.He has already tasted the taste of having more than enough energy but not enough strength.

He looked at Lan He and said, "Lan He, you don't have to do it yourself to help. You have given me so many things. Cheng Xiaoguo will be grateful to you if he knows it later."

Lan He took a deep breath and said shyly, "Really?"

Cheng Xiaojing watched him blink, his eyes were a little wet, thinking this guy wouldn't be moved to tears like this, right?

Lan He suddenly changed the subject and said, "By the way, the map you want is also in the bag."

Cheng Xiaojing hurriedly reached into his bag and took out the roll of maps.

Their school is No. [-] Middle School in the county, not far from their village.It is the only key high school in the city with a remote location. I don't know if it is a tradition or because of the so-called enrollment rate, the school is closed.Unlike other schools, it is rare to see students from their school come out to act as demons outside.

Cheng Xiaojing deliberately found a red pen, put a red tick on their school, and said: "It may not be safe in the mountains, I want to take Cheng Xiaoguo to the school."

Lan He was a little puzzled, and asked: "I'm a little strange, why can't Cheng Xiaoguo show up? Since he's going to the police station, why don't the cadres from the village or county come out and help send it there?"

Cheng Xiaojing looked up at Lan He, and asked, "Do you know why I directly told Cheng Xiaoguo to go to the police station to call the police?"

Of course Lan He didn't know.

Cheng Xiaojing lowered his head and said, "Let me tell you first, it's not that I don't believe you. But when I heard you say Cheng Xiaoguo sent you a message yesterday, I felt something was wrong."

Lan He asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Xiaojing looked up at him, there was a little coldness in his eyes, which made Lan He tremble unconsciously.

"He didn't have a reason to find you." Cheng Xiaojing only felt that something was awkward at the time. It was the kind of thing that you deliberately find a reason. You can indeed find something that makes things make sense, but thinking about it the other way around, you find that it doesn't make sense. Not necessarily.

Sometimes when he analyzes the logical relationship between the case and the evidence, he will repeatedly go from the evidence to the case, and then from the case back to the evidence, thinking back and forth many times.If it can be proved in both directions, then there is a 60.00% guarantee of the authenticity of this evidence, but if one side is a little far-fetched, this guarantee will not hold.

The lawyers on the opposite side are all seasoned veterans.We must not allow the opponent to take advantage of this kind of loophole.

Lan Hehui: "But at that time you said..."

Cheng Xiaojing interrupted what he was about to say.

"We didn't know Cheng Xiaoguo's situation at the time, and I only reacted after meeting with him and knowing these things."

Lan He was silent for a moment, he suddenly took out his mobile phone, stared at the string of unfamiliar numbers on it, then handed it to Cheng Xiaojing, and asked: "Then who is this person?"

Cheng Xiaojing took his mobile phone, casually opened those text messages, and flipped through them.

"I think... First of all, he has your contact information, and he should be someone close to you in life."

Lan He suddenly woke up and said, "I never thought that Cheng Xiaoguo could not remember my number." Ordinary children, no matter how good their memory is, when they are in danger, they will only remember the numbers of their closest relatives .

Lan He and Cheng Xiaoguo have nothing to do with each other in normal times, and the act of sending him text messages with an unfamiliar mobile phone is very abrupt in itself.

"Secondly," Cheng Xiaojing continued, "this person knows about Cheng Xiaoguo's return."

Lan He nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, otherwise he wouldn't ask me to go up the mountain early in the morning."

Cheng Xiaojing took a breath and said, "You reminded me, he may still have a little understanding of the terrain on our side."

Lan He seems to have started to follow Cheng Xiaojing's train of thought.

"Well, what's more, I think this person knows my whereabouts very well. He didn't send me a message until my mother left home with Lan Tian in the morning."

Cheng Xiaojing fell silent.

All the above characteristics seem to point to a certain point, and this person is obviously the person by Lan He's side.

He remembered what Cheng Xiaoguo said, those people who killed his parents chased him all the way, and they probably followed him here.

But when he went to buy breakfast in the morning, there was no mention of any rumors of new faces appearing at the teahouse breakfast restaurant, which meant that no one came.Did those people give up on Cheng Xiaoguo?

impossible.

The only possibility is that they hooked up with a certain force here.
