crime puzzle

Chen Yifan and Lan He looked at each other subconsciously.

Cheng Xiaojing saw the reactions of these two people in his eyes, lowered his eyes, and said, "If it's inconvenient, forget it."

Chen Yifan quickly said: "No, no, no, that's not the case." At this time, he suddenly gestured for a pause with an irritable expression, bowed his body and took out his cell phone, got up and began to answer the call.

Cheng Xiaojing saw him arguing with the person on the other side of the phone in his office as if no one else was there, so he had to turn his eyes to Lan He.

"I thought you called police officer Chen just now because of Lan Tian's case."

Lan Heda sighed, slumped on the chair, looked at the ceiling speechlessly, and said, "It's for him."

Cheng Xiaojing had a question mark on his face.

Lan He glanced at him with blunt eyes, and suddenly sat up straight.

"I'm a little confused, why are you suddenly interested in Lan Tian's case?"

Cheng Xiaojing smiled and said: "You really don't pretend to be anything other than what you care about. Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Lan He thought about it carefully, and a dazed look appeared on his face.

"You said... Lan Tian's case overlaps too much with yours."

"Yes," Cheng Xiaojing subconsciously picked up the pen on the coffee table, opened the notepad, and drew two circles on it, "Lan Tian and I seem to be two different cases."

He drew two intersecting circles, blackened the overlapped area, and said, "Here are the similarities between the two cases—the murderer is Gong Shuzhen, and the targets are both named Lan."

Lan He's eyelids twitched when he heard the second half of the sentence, and couldn't help but interjected, "Gong Shuzhen didn't say who the surname Lan is."

Cheng Xiaojing quickly wrote down the question, and then drew an arrow.

"Then there is a problem here, who is the surname Lan that Gong Shuzhen said?"

In Lan He's eyes, there was a flicker of unknown meaning. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly, as if mustering up his courage, he asked, "Who do you think it could be?"

Cheng Xiaojing felt a little funny and said, "Are you asking me?"

Lan He was stunned for a long time, as if giving up, and resumed his slumped posture on the chair, looked at the ceiling and sighed, "Anyway, it can't be me."

Cheng Xiaojing looked at his disappointed face and said, "There is no need to be disappointed when it costs people's lives."

Lan He felt that Cheng Xiaojing must have something in his mind.It's just too boring, and because of my profession, I always think about taking things out of other people's mouths.

"Seriously, who do you think is the most likely possibility?"

After a while, Cheng Xiaojing spat out two words.

"Blue sky."

Well, this is such a reasonable answer, even though Lan He spurned Lan Tian, ​​a fool, countless times in his heart.

While spurning Lan Tian, ​​Lan He tried his best to express his undivided attention, followed Cheng Xiaojing's words, and said, "So, why are you so concerned about this case?"

Cheng Xiaojing hesitated.

He seemed troubled by Lan He's sudden question, but he didn't reject him as straightforwardly as before.Instead, he considered it again and again, and finally looked at Lan He more seriously.

"Lan He, I'm not such a cold-blooded person. Most of what I said to you before was because I was angry with Lan Tian. You also know what he did..."

Even if Lan He had been in a daze until this time, he roughly understood that Cheng Xiaojing was explaining to himself.

He lowered his head and smiled, as if he was hiding something, and said, "No, you don't need to explain to me. I can understand. Speaking of which, it can only be Lan Tian who fucked himself. I can't see him, otherwise I would have beaten him Make him kneel down and beg for mercy."

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly imagined the scene of Lan He beating Lan He against Lan Tian in high school, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Chen Yifan sprayed fire and hung up the phone.Still carrying his fury, he sat back on his seat, glanced at Lan He, and said, "I'm going to be pissed off."

Lan He scratched him with an eye knife and said, "I told you earlier, since I don't want to change my faults and don't want to leave, I just get used to their way of doing things."

"I just have this temper!" Chen Yifan stared wide-eyed, as if he was about to eat Lan He.

Lan He was still slumped on the chair, without looking at Chen Yifan, sighed, and said, "Tell me, what are those people doing to you?"

Chen Yifan glanced at Cheng Xiaojing, then turned his face away suddenly, and said, "Lawyer Cheng, let me ask you a question, in Chen Jiajin's case, shouldn't evidence like a recording pen be used as evidence?"

Cheng Xiaojing nodded and said, "The authenticity and credibility of such evidence will be greatly reduced. Do you want to use this recording as evidence?"

Chen Yifan looked embarrassed, and said: "I also know that this evidence is problematic, but it is the most beneficial clue to Chen Jiajin's case after all. In the end, they didn't accept it at all, and they made a fuss about it, and wanted to put on shoes for me. "

Lan He looked at him and said, "I've told you that it's wrong. Can't we do it in another way? If Mei Xueqi has a problem, let's follow up or investigate for a while longer."

Chen Yifan looked at Lan He's eyes like ice skates, and said, "I don't know who I am getting so angry for."

Lan He immediately changed his color, looking embarrassed.

"Look, I said you can't do it, but you are angry again if you don't. What do you want me to do?"

Cheng Xiaojing saw them coming and going, and he could roughly hear the ins and outs.

"Evidence is illegal, and there are many times when it is not needed. For the case, the most important thing is the favorable evidence that can determine the outcome of the case. Everything else doesn't matter."

Chen Yifan was annoyed, and said, "But that Mei Xueqi is very shrewd, even this recording was made with great difficulty by me."

Cheng Xiaojing was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to Chen Yifan: "Can you give me a list of Mei Xueqi's whereabouts from the month when the case happened to the present? I want to try to analyze it."

Chen Yifan looked at Cheng Xiaojing in a daze.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"No," Cheng Xiaojing said calmly, "but I am more familiar with the legal requirements and evidence requirements than you, so I can check it out for you."

Chen Yifan ran away with his butt on fire.

It was the first time Lan He saw Cheng Xiaojing's proactive style, and asked, "Do you need my help?" Although he didn't think he could help.

Cheng Xiaojing replied to him as a matter of course.

"Of course. After Police Officer Chen gets the information, it's up to you to read it. I'll be responsible for reviewing the feasible methods in it. Save you from doing useless work all the time."

Lan He: "..." It sounds like a way to get twice the result with half the effort, but I always feel that something is not quite right.

Not long after, Chen Yifan called Lan He's cell phone.

"I send you the information?"

Lan He got up and ran to the computer, saying, "You send it."

After hanging up the phone, Lan He looked sideways at Cheng Xiaojing and asked, "Print it out?"

Cheng Xiaojing also stood up, humming.

When I typed it out, I found that there were only two or three pages.

For more than half a year, a courtesan, uncharacteristically, has never been out of Qilan City, not even going out to participate in some basic social activities.

Lan He only browsed for less than 10 minutes, then raised his head and said: "Mei Xueqi has too many abnormal behaviors, if you list them all, Chen Yifan will probably die from overwork."

Cheng Xiaojing thought for a while, and said to Lan He: "Then change the method."

Lan He was dumbfounded.

Cheng Xiaojing patiently explained to him: "The uncharacteristic behavior itself is obvious. If she wants to cover up some of her abnormal behaviors, but at the same time change other behaviors, it means that these things are not for her to cover up." Things are coherent, things that don't matter to themselves."

Lan He seemed to understand but half understood.

Cheng Xiaojing said: "You follow the schematic diagram I drew for you before, look at the things inside, find out and figure it out, and then you can see the problem."

"... Powerful." Although it is not known to what extent the effect will be, Lan He already has a way to deal with this densely packed thousands of whereabouts.

Cheng Xiaojing lowered his footsteps and sat back in his seat.

He turned his head sideways, looking at Lan He with a smile on his face.

As if being possessed by the 17-year-old Lan He, he had that heart-pounding expression on his face.

He must really believe in himself now.Cheng Xiaojing pursed his lips, but still let out a little smile of his own——sincerely proud of himself.

Chen Yifan was in a hurry.

Lan He was still immersed in the painting circle, he made three phone calls in a row, directly cutting off Lan He's hard-won connection.

In the end, Cheng Xiaojing couldn't stand it any longer, took the phone from him, and said, "I'll pick it up."

Lan He froze.

Cheng Xiaojing saw him stunned like a wooden stump, and asked, "Is it inconvenient?" He said that he wanted to hand the phone back.

Lan He shook his head quickly, pushed and said: "You, you take it."

Chen Yifan's fourth call came over aggressively.

"I said, can you do it! If you can't, I'll come here now!"

Cheng Xiaojing followed indifferently.

"Okay."

"..." Chen Yifan's voice fell silent for a long time.

Cheng Xiaojing was about to answer the phone, when Chen Yifan coughed heavily and said, "Lawyer Cheng, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bother you, it's really..."

"I don't bother you, I just have something to ask Police Officer Chen." Cheng Xiaojing said very politely.

Chen Yifan felt chills all over his body, and asked boldly, "Lawyer Cheng wants to know anything, just tell me. I will definitely check for you."

Cheng Xiaojing said: "Earlier, I saw Chen Jiajin's case was a bit strange. Chen Jiajin's charges include possession and use of illegal drugs, right?"

Chen Yifan lowered his voice.

"Yes, at that time our people found the packaging of hallucinogens in Chen Jiajin's clothes, and it has been used as evidence."

Cheng Xiaojing said: "But Chen Jiajin himself does not admit that this happened. Have you checked it?"

"I've checked it." Chen Yifan became very angry when he mentioned this matter, "Do you think the rich second generation are playing crazy now and don't even want their own brains? Dare to use things like hallucinogens casually? The fatality rate of that drug is as high as 48%! And it has the same surname as mine! I feel ashamed to go out and meet people..."

"So there is definite evidence that he bought it?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.

Chen Yifan was stunned for a moment, and said, "That's not true...but the fingerprints on it are only Chen Jiajin's."

"What about the source of purchase?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.

"...that kind of thing is traded face to face, how can we find out the source." Chen Yifan sighed.

Cheng Xiaojing thinks about it too-of course, the things done by a caring person will be as seamless as possible.

"However," Chen Yifan said, "Recently, we are preparing for the results of the first quarter at the beginning of the year, so maybe we can hold an event...I see, thank you Lawyer Cheng!"

The other side hung up so fast that Cheng Xiaojing didn't understand what he was going to do.

At this time, Lan He raised his head, let out a big breath, and said, "Okay! It's over!"
