crime puzzle

In this world, coincidence is a necessary element, but if there are too many coincidences, it will inevitably make people suspicious.When Cheng Xiaojing heard Cheng Xiaoguo mention "they", a huge question mark arose in his heart.

Combined with the village chief's search for someone last night, such a coincidence is a little too much.

Cheng Xiaoguo looked panic-stricken, his whole body was stiff, he even pulled Cheng Xiaojing like a little girl, he only dared to pinch the fabric with two fingers and pull it.

Cheng Xiaojing: "..." Forget it, not everyone can overcome the shadow of life, Cheng Xiaoguo is brave enough not to cry.

Cheng Xiaoguo whispered: "Just now, I saw it. He was wearing a black jacket and had a crew cut. He is a little taller than me, wearing sunglasses, very thin..."

Cheng Xiaojing combined his scattered descriptions in his mind bit by bit.Halfway through the group, he found his target—someone who looked like this standing across the road at the station drop-off point, facing them.Cheng Xiaojing was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly felt that this person's eyebrows were vaguely familiar.

He repeated the characteristics of this person over and over again in his mind - tall and thin, small head, small facial features, those eyes...

Cheng Xiaojing's body suddenly reacted, and a pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow came out of thin air.

He remembered that this person was Gong Shuzhen who was two numbers younger.

It's really a narrow road to the enemy... Cheng Xiaojing was a little lucky before, thinking that he had never seen such a person in his memory ten years ago, which means that Gong Shuzhen had never appeared in front of him.

Now it seems that he was too optimistic.When estimating things, he should have sorted out all the worst situations he could think of.

The car started slowly.

Fortunately, it's not too late now.The distance between them and Gong Shuzhen was at least one car ride away.Cheng Xiaojing looked away, grabbed Cheng Xiaoguo tightly, pushed him a little into the crowd, and asked, "Do you know him?"

Cheng Xiaoguo's eyes were red again, and he whispered, "It was him who killed my father..."

Cheng Xiaojing's hair stood up all over his body, he turned around, and leaned on the glass window to look out.

This glance happened to meet Gong Shuzhen's lazy gaze.

His mind reaffirmed its memory.

Had he seen Gong Shuzhen in his hometown ten years ago?

The answer is no.

If Gong Shuzhen had come here at this time, he would not be going to school here anymore.After his parents passed away, Guan Pengcheng appeared and took himself to their home to continue his sophomore year of high school.The later university also studied law under the arrangement of Guan Pengcheng.

Overall, he never came back here for a decade after that.

Why are you seeing him now?How could his memory have such a big deviation?

The weirdness that had been in his heart before once again occupied all his thoughts.

This has happened many times.The first time was the news that Cheng Zhen and Cheng Gang had returned.The second time was an accident in Cheng Xiao's country.The third time... The third time should be the village chief looking for someone.

The fourth time is now.

This is no longer a coincidence, he can be sure now, from the moment he climbed out of that cave and was rescued by Lan He and Lan Tian.

There was a deviation in the memory, and the deviation became farther and farther away, and it became more and more uncontrollable...

He lowered his head and glanced at Cheng Xiaoguo who hung his head silently, he was embarrassed and his body was still shaking.He could clearly feel that he was afraid. .

However, as the only self that Cheng Xiaoguo relies on now, he is now thinking whether what is in front of him is true or not, whether he can believe that his eyes and feelings will not deceive him.

but.

The only thing that is certain is that the occurrence of these things will not be meaningless to me.Maybe they are the truth that I have ignored for more than ten years.They appear so clearly in front of my eyes, I just hope that I can experience the traces of their existence.

Will there be some truth waiting to be revealed?A bold idea appeared vividly in his mind.

As long as he completes this task, he will definitely be able to take a big step forward.Inexplicably, Cheng Xiaojing felt an uncontrollable excitement in his heart.

Cheng Xiaoguo seemed to feel that Cheng Xiaojing's breathing was disturbed, he raised his head sensitively and looked at Cheng Xiaojing suspiciously.In the past, Cheng Xiaojing in his eyes seemed to not care about anything, and no one or anything could enter his eyes.Like a porcelain doll without any emotion, Guang has a beautiful face.

But now Cheng Xiaojing is different, he seems to be injected with vitality suddenly, and the whole person has become what he can't imagine - that kind of vitality that seems to be dotted with light all over his body.

He swallowed unconsciously, and said a little bit of shame that he suddenly felt: "Xiao Jing, I... want to apologize to you, but I didn't know what happened at that time. I just didn't like you. "

Cheng Xiaojing heard him talking nonsense without thinking, and said lightly: "Forget about the past."

If it were the past, Cheng Xiaoguo might feel a little disgusted again.But now he clearly knows that Cheng Xiaojing's words are not perfunctory to himself.

He groaned, raised his hand uncomfortably and scratched his head, probably feeling that he was still too petty, and suddenly felt ashamed.

Cheng Xiaojing continued: "Now you just need to remember that although your parents are gone, I am still your relative. You just need to choose to believe in me. Don't think about anything else."

Cheng Xiaoguo had never experienced such a thing, but he really felt that he was encouraged by Cheng Xiaojing.The willpower to survive is expanding.

"If I get through this time, I will definitely..."

Cheng Xiaojing frowned.

He saw Gong Shuzhen stop a taxi.After a while, the car caught up and slowly fell behind their bus, following the same pace.

Cheng Xiaoguo was pushed into the crowd by him, and was almost submerged.

Cheng Xiaojing is sure that he decided to chase them after he exchanged a glance with himself.This made him doubtful, and even raised questions like whether Gong Shuzhen came after him or Cheng Xiaoguo.

But no matter who it is targeting, he and Cheng Xiaoguo are both dangerous.

What he needs most now - in Cheng Xiaojing's mind, he recalled what Lan He said about the money he gave him.Can't help but sigh.

Maybe it's time to put that money to good use.

Cheng Xiaojing has carefully studied the map of the urban area, and the terminal of this train is not a short distance from the police station.Fortunately, he still remembered this old station - it hadn't been renovated properly, there were several entrances and exits, and people could leave anywhere.

All in all, the police station was actually a little closer to a certain station of this bus. After getting off the bus, as long as you ran fast enough and rushed into the police station before they could react, it would be considered a success.

Cheng Xiaojing pushed Cheng Xiaoguo and said, "Take off the mask and coat for me."

Cheng Xiaoguo was confused and said, "I'm not hot..."

Cheng Xiaojing gave him a blank look, and said, "Hurry up! Don't dawdle!"

It was the first time Cheng Xiaoguo saw him in such a hurry, he took off his coat with a puzzled expression.In the crowded carriage, many people looked sideways at them.Cheng Xiaojing only stared at Cheng Xiaoguo.After confirming that there is no danger in the car, everyone here did not enter Cheng Xiaojing's eyes.

Cheng Xiaojing stuffed the clothes into the backpack in front of him, but held the mask in his hand.

While looking at the taxi outside, he ordered in a low voice: "You can do whatever I tell you later. Don't be afraid, and don't doubt it. I will let you enter the police station safely."

The bus wobbled to a stop at the bottom station, and a large group of people squeezed out of the carriage.Cheng Xiaojing was the last one, standing at the drop-off point, he squinted his eyes and looked around.

There were too many people in the station, so he stretched out his hand to adjust the mask that covered most of his face, and lowered his head to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

The mask is a bit stuffy.He thought with disgust.

There was a long line of taxis at the exit of the station, Cheng Xiaojing looked at them one by one as he walked, and found the car that was carrying Gong Shuzhen before.It was the last one in the row, and it just came in shortly after visual inspection.

His cold eyes swept over the crowd walking back and forth.Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of the black jacket he was paying attention to.Cheng Xiaojing suddenly became nervous, he turned his head and strode across the road.Then he quickened his pace and trotted into a dark alley.

After a while, a man in a black jacket followed in.

"..." The man in the black jacket had just stepped in when his eyes suddenly lit up - he saw the big boy in the alley wearing a school uniform and a mask leaning against the wall.He put his hands in his pockets, his head bowed.It's just that in the dark alley, the face under the mask cannot be seen clearly.

The black jacket subconsciously slowed down, walking forward step by step.

The boy stood there quietly, looking as if he was waiting for someone, or as if he was just standing there.

When the footsteps of the black jacket were less than five steps away from him, he suddenly stood up straight.

"Follow me all the way." His voice sounded unexpectedly soft and sweet, with the deep feeling of the late development of vocal cords, making it hard to hear the meaning behind what he said, "What do you want from me?" something?"

The black jacket froze for a moment, before reacting belatedly.He rushed forward, grabbed the big boy by the collar, and roughly tore off the mask on his face.

There was a wordless sarcasm on that cold but pretty face.

It was Cheng Xiaojing.

"You're kidding me!" Gong Shuzhen said angrily.

Cheng Xiaojing didn't cooperate with his anger at all, he just asked what he wanted to know.

"We got on the bus from the school to the city, and it took about four to ten minutes by car. The bus stopped at least a dozen stops, why didn't you get on the bus?" he asked.

Gong Shuzhen gritted his teeth and tightened his clothes.

Cheng Xiaojing frowned, the shirt he was wearing inside was a bit rough, when it was embedded in his neck, it was like a hard rope strangling him, causing bursts of pain.

Seeing him frowning uncomfortably, Gong Shuzhen suddenly felt better. He approached this good-looking boy and said, "Killing people should of course be low-key."

This contemptuous tone was almost exactly the same as the last time he faced him.

But the situation is quite different.

He asked again: "Then do you know why I had so many opportunities to call the police, but insisted on personally sending Cheng Xiaoguo to the police station?"
