crime puzzle

Just because of an accident, Cheng Xiaojing was seriously hindered.It was past ten o'clock at night when I got home.Cheng Xiaojing pushed open the door anxiously, and the house was dark - Cheng Zhen and Ye Gui had already fallen asleep.

Ye Gui who heard the movement got up in a daze.Cheng Xiaojing was so startled that his hair was all over, thinking of his muddy appearance, he quickly said in a low voice, "It's me, Mom."

When Ye Gui heard that it was him, she put on a coat and came out of the room, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you back so late, where is your classmate?"

"I sent it back. I ran into the village chief on the way and was delayed for a while." Cheng Xiaojing hurriedly took off his clothes before Ye Gui saw the clue, and then poked his head into the dark back room, "Don't wake up Dad, I'm going to bed now."

Seeing his hurried appearance, Ye Gui chased after him and asked, "Are you hungry? Mom, go and cook a bowl of noodles for you."

Cheng Xiaojing said as he walked, "No need, I'm not hungry. You can go to sleep too." Saying that, he went upstairs in two or three steps.

There were still unfinished cold buns on the table in the morning, Cheng Xiaojing hurriedly lifted the stool and sat down, opened his notebook, and read it while chewing.

The first part of the book is about sorting out the causes and consequences of my falling into the hole before, and the latter part is the things about Cheng Xiaoguo that I wrote down casually, which are very fragmentary.

Cheng Xiaojing was silent for a long time——I thought the horror of leaking the news was vivid in my memory, and such a thing can't happen again, so I must keep this notebook with me in the future.

Then he took out a pencil from the pen holder on the desk, and recorded all the scattered clues in his mind.

From what happened in Cheng Xiaoguo, to Cheng Xiaoguo telling him what happened, to Lan He mentioning some of their family's recent situation, and finally going to his own home to solve the problem and meeting the village chief halfway.

On the surface, it seems that Cheng Xiaoguo's affairs and Lan He's affairs have nothing to do with each other, but the timeline is too coincidental. Unfortunately, with my current ability, I can't prove anything. I can only remember it as a suspense .

The most important thing is why the village head went into the mountains to find Cheng Xiaoguo.

He has a feeling that this question is very critical.If he can find the correct answer, at least half of the questions in his mind can be solved.

But it was also this problem that made him feel confused now.

What should he do?

Cheng Xiaojing leaned back on the chair, listening to the sound of the mountain wind whistling outside the window.He seemed to have an ominous premonition—something was quietly undergoing tremendous changes in the peaceful mountain village.

No, to be precise, it is something that has been hidden in the depths of human nature, and its black veil is gradually being lifted.

At five in the morning, Cheng Xiaojing opened his eyes in a daze.

At the age of 28, seven o'clock in the morning is the early wake-up time of his biological clock. After returning to this place, from the first day, this biological clock was broken.

Cheng Xiaojing just wanted to curse the evil exam-oriented education.

He turned over and closed his eyes to be quiet for a while, and soon fell asleep peacefully again—— Cheng Xiaojing suddenly opened his eyes.

——There are more important tasks than going to school today.

Thinking that Cheng Xiaoguo was still alive and dead in school, Cheng Xiaojing became even more energetic.

He got up in twos, put on his clothes, and ran downstairs to wash up.

Ye Gui got up earlier than him, saw him coming down the stairs, and said, "Eat something before leaving, it's still early."

"It's [-]:[-]." Cheng Xiaojing squeezed the toothpaste, glanced at the pendulum clock in the hall, and said, "...then I'll eat some."

Ye Gui laughed, turned around and remembered something, and turned back to the room.

Cheng Xiaojing heard Cheng Zhen's deep voice, and Ye Gui's soft voice talking to each other one by one.Cheng Zhen was probably still not at ease, and said in a low voice, "Give me more, if it's not enough, please trouble."

Ye Gui replied helplessly: "Understood, you go to sleep."

Cheng Xiaojing's brain exploded with a huge heat, and in the cold morning, his whole body was warm.He couldn't help but say in his heart that it was different from before. He was living at the age of 17, and his parents were deeply expressing their love for him.

I was about to cry with happiness!

Ye Gui came out from inside and watched his son standing up like a sculpture inexplicably.She came over and gave him a push, saying, "Don't sleep standing up, you'll catch a cold."

The towel shook and fell down, Cheng Xiaojing continued with one hand, watched her hand him a few banknotes, and earnestly ordered: "Buy everything you want to buy, we are remote, and it is not convenient to go to the city."

It really gave a lot, Cheng Xiaojing was a little dazed.

Seeing that he didn't dare to pick it up, Ye Gui said, "Mom, put it in your bag for you."

Cheng Xiaojing threw away the toothbrush in a hurry, ran out and smiled and said, "Thank you mom, I will put it away myself."

Ye Gui reached out and touched his head, sighed and said, "We should have come back a few years earlier to take care of you, what kind of business are you doing?"

Cheng Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, he had never heard this sentence from Ye Gui.I used to fantasize that my parents could really return to this village for him and live with him the life he had always longed for.

A family reunion, harmony, and peace are better than anything else.

Cheng Xiaojing sniffled and said in a nasal voice: "It's fine now, Mom, it's still early, you can go to sleep again, I'll leave after eating, and come back in the afternoon."

Ye Gui responded, "Okay, I'll ask your dad to pick you up at the station in the afternoon."

Time didn't pass, and after a few words, it was five forty in the blink of an eye.Hearing Ye Gui's voice returning to the back room, Cheng Xiaojing cleaned up the porridge in the bowl in twos and twos, and put the money away properly.

While turning off the lights at home, he secretly said in his heart——everything is ready, just look at today!

It was still dark when they went out, and the location of their house was a bit remote, without even a street light.Cheng Xiaojing touched the flashlight on the cabinet by the door, and whispered inside.

"I'm leaving."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhen's voice came from inside.

"Come back early, don't wander outside."

Cheng Xiaojing shrank his neck, his hands were faster than his mouth, and he closed the door with a bang.

On this day, he suddenly realized that he was really ten years younger. Cheng Xiaojing only felt that he was walking much lighter than usual.He thought in his heart that he had brought a lot of things in his schoolbag, so that Cheng Xiaoguo would not cry to him again when he saw him.

For rural areas, this point is the normal time to get up and start preparing for the day's homework.Cheng Xiaojing went out, turned out of the alley of his house, and was startled by the light spilling from the door not far away.I thought I ran into the village chief who was out looking for someone again.

He tightened the schoolbag he was carrying on his back and retracted his feet carefully.

I looked around and found that many people's lights were on, so I realized that this is normal.

I'm afraid it's useless, the road still has to be walked, but I can't just walk casually.Cheng Xiaojing deliberately lowered the sound of walking footsteps, for fear of startling the village chief and his group.

In this way, I tiptoed onto the concrete road.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw a car parked at the intersection.At this time, the sky has begun to show light, and the outline of a car can be vaguely seen. It is a small Honda sedan.

This era is different from ten years later. There are still no cars coming and going in the countryside. Even people doing business abroad can only use a Wuling truck for goods delivery.People with cars are usually either rich or expensive.

Cheng Xiaojing had an ominous premonition, he stepped lightly, lowered his body, and prepared to move over silently in a squatting posture.

"Eh? It's really here." The moment the familiar voice sounded, Cheng Xiaojing's hairs shuddered.

Lan Tian poked his head out and waved at him with a beaming smile.

"Hyokyung! This way!"

Cheng Xiaojing was expressionless and pretended to be deaf.

Seeing this, Lan Tian simply opened the car door and got out of the car, waved to Cheng Xiaojing, and said, "Xiaojing! Jingjing! This way."

Cheng Xiaojing turned around with a sullen face, staring at the blue sky.After thinking about it, he turned in another direction.

Lan Tian felt a little guilty when he stared at the ground, he lowered his body and whispered to the people inside: "Hey, don't pretend to be dead, come out and explain."

Lan He protruded slowly and apologized to Cheng Xiaojing: "I'm sorry, I..."

Cheng Xiaojing's gaze was as cold as a knife, and he asked, "Have you said everything?"

Lan He froze, lowered his head and murmured to explain: "No... no, I said you are going to the city, but he clamored to come together, I don't worry..."

Cheng Xiaojing thought to himself that although you didn't say everything, but now that everyone has followed, how do you think I can lead Cheng Xiaoguo?

Lan Tian was lying on the front of the car, looking like she was about to be dragged into the sky, and said, "It's so hard to squeeze you into the bus, I'll see you off."

Cheng Xiaojing glanced at him, ignored his hospitality, and walked straight forward.

Lan Tian put away the embarrassment on his face, chased after his buttocks, and shouted back: "You follow, I will chase someone."

Lan He poked his head out and shouted, "Fuck you! Get in the car! We're going back!"

At this time, Lan He didn't threaten, Lan Tian kicked his nose and scolded him, saying: "Stupid, cowardly, cowardly. If you want to go back, go back by yourself, I will go with Xiao Jing."

Lan He wished he could drive this guy into the hospital.

Cheng Xiaojing walked forward quickly while paying attention to the voices of the two brothers behind him.

He believed that Lan He didn't deliberately leak the matter to Lan Tian.Most likely, Lan Tian messed around inside.

Once Lan Tian gets serious about something, no one can grind him down.A person like Lan He, who wants both face and face, can't compete with such a shameless person.

But... how would he get rid of such a brown candy?

Lan Tian was arguing with Lan He, and when he turned his head, he saw Cheng Xiaojing walking away, he quickly turned around and said, "I won't tell you anymore, you can do whatever you want, I'm leaving!"

Lan He just watched Lan Tianfei disappear in front of him like flying.

"...This bastard." Lan He simply unbuckled his seat belt, locked the car, and followed.

Cheng Xiaojing was nervously looking for a hidden and convenient path, at least he could get rid of Lan Tian, ​​but when he turned around, he saw Lan □□ running over.

Lan Tian looked very happy, smiling like an Er Que.

He is happy, but he is not happy.Cheng Xiaojing was about to scold someone, but when he looked the wrong way, he saw that Lan He was also catching up.

"..." Is this the rhythm for the two brothers to make trouble together?Cheng Xiaojing simply stood still, waiting for the blue sky to come up, thinking about how to fight him.

Seeing that he really stood there waiting for him, Lan Tian smiled even wider.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in front of him, he just said something bluntly, let's go!

Cheng Xiaojing didn't leave.

Lan He ran over, pointed at Lan Tian and scolded: "Believe it or not, I won't tell you anything from now on." He didn't have any momentum.

Cheng Xiaojing looked away disappointed.

Lan Tian didn't take him seriously at all, and said with a smile: "Xin, haven't you always been so stingy?"

Lan He looked at Lan Tian seriously, and said, "It has nothing to do with being stingy or not, do you never think about whether your behavior will cause trouble for Cheng Xiaojing?"

Said this in front of Cheng Xiaojing, it became Lan Tian's weakness, he turned to look at Cheng Xiaojing.

Cheng Xiaojing nodded vigorously and said, "Lan He is right."

Lan Tian asked, "So you don't want me to go downtown with you?"

Cheng Xiaojing took a deep breath and said, "Although I am grateful for your protection, I never expect you to do anything for me, including Lan He. You both are the same."

At least in this matter, he doesn't want anyone involved.

He already felt that something behind this incident was quietly sweeping him into it.

Doing so will not help you much, it will only cause endless trouble.
