crime puzzle

The rising sun spreads through the tinted glass in the narrow room.On the slightly raised bed~, a soft cell phone rang.Lu~qi, who was motionless, finally moved when the phone's ringtone entered the second chapter.

After a while, the ringing stopped, and a low voice answered.

"Hello..." Cheng Xiaojing's voice was still a little nasal before it was time to wake up.

A low laugh came from the other side, and Li Yanxi joked: "If I sell the recording of your voice, I will definitely make a fortune."

Cheng Xiaojing woke up instantly, and only replied briefly.

"Wait for me for 5 minutes." He quickly hung up the phone.

Cheng Xiaojing got up as quickly as possible, washed and changed clothes.He looked at the time, hesitated for a while and didn't make breakfast for himself, but instead picked up his phone and called Li Yanxi back.

"I'm sorry." He apologized first, then straightened his posture immediately, and said while pushing the door open.

"You're too early." It was as if he wanted to regain the face he accidentally lost in front of his senior brother.

Li Yanxi apologized kindly.

"Your proposal made me so excited, my heart is racing now."

Even looking for an excuse was so dishonest, Cheng Xiaojing immediately gave up his common knowledge with him, and immediately changed the topic to the main topic.

"Do I need any certificates? This time, only success is allowed and no failure is allowed."

Li Yanxi hesitated on purpose, and said in a drawn-out voice, "Shouldn't be necessary. It's a normal process for a lawyer to see a client."

Sure enough, Cheng Xiaojing said, "You are Lan Tian's lawyer, but I am not."

Li Yanxi said with a smile: "I have been waiting for you downstairs for half an hour, and I will be posted soon."

"..." Cheng Xiaojing had already reached the stairs, and saw Li Yanxi's car slowly turning in from outside the community.He said blankly to the white Audi A6, "I've been waiting for you downstairs for half an hour too."

Li Yanxi hung up the phone, drove the car in front of him, opened the window on purpose, and said with a playful smile, "Just kidding, get in the car and go."

Cheng Xiaojing opened the door and got into the car, the first sentence was.

"Are you sure there is no problem? The blue sky is troublesome..."

Li Yanxi ignored him, drove the car with a beautiful flick as if showing off his skills, and turned out of the community again.

Along the way, Cheng Xiaojing stopped talking and didn't speak again.

After arriving at the detention center, Li Yanxi walked in front, handed over his ID to the staff of the detention center, then pointed to Cheng Xiaojing behind her, and said, "My little assistant is here for a trainee."

The little policeman in the detention center glanced at Cheng Xiaojing.

Cheng Xiaojing felt that Li Yanxi not only lied and did not write drafts, but also had a thick skin to a certain extent-their year-round practitioners could not recognize the police in the detention center without looking up and down.

"Lawyer Cheng?" The little policeman greeted him as if to confirm.

Originally, the trip that Li Yanxi brought him here today was against the rules, and Cheng Xiaojing was a little guilty. Last time when he came to see Lan Tian, ​​he made such a big commotion, which probably caused them a lot of trouble.

He quickly bowed his head and explained, "I'm here to be his assistant today, so it won't be the same as last time."

The little policeman nodded, opened the door and said, "Lawyer Cheng's words will do."

The two followed back and forth, Li Yanxi turned around and whispered, "Are you so popular?"

Cheng Xiaojing gave him a blank look, and replied confidently: "I'm just more disciplined." And the reason for the trouble last time was entirely Lan Tian's unilateral play of temper.

Li Yanxi just smiled and walked in front shaking his body.

Lan Tian had long been waiting for them inside.

When Cheng Xiaojing went in, he saw his head bowed down, it turned out that Zhang Yang's thorns had grown.The whole person seemed to be quite well-behaved, and also covered up the arrogant and self-righteous arrogance of the past.

His expression looked very calm, without any anxiety and uneasiness in being imprisoned for half a year after being wronged, giving him the illusion that he had changed his mind and started a new life.Lan Tian sensed someone coming in, raised his head lazily, and looked to the opposite side.

To be honest, Lan Tian and Li Yanxi are more like the same type of people.Cheng Xiaojing thinks that Lan Tian probably knows himself too well.In front of him, Lan Tian will be like a son who has done something wrong and doesn't like to face his father.That's why he chose Li Yanxi who had more common topics with him.

Lan Tian looked at Li Yanxi with that dead face, and didn't even bother to say anything.Immediately began to taunt: "I'm a little surprised that you are so dedicated."

Li Yanxi shrugged and said, "That's right, I was also a little surprised. But I'm not looking for you today."

Blue Sky's eyes moved.

Cheng Xiaojing came out from behind Li Yanxi and stood in front of Lan Tian.

Lan Tian's expression changed immediately.

Cheng Xiaojing raised his eyes to look at him, just like a father seeing his unworthy son, his face was expressionless, and his whole body was full of hatred.

Lan Tian moved the chair back vigorously, and there was a loud and harsh sound of chair feet rubbing against the ground in the room.

Cheng Xiaojing said: "Want to make trouble again?"

Lan Tian's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he immediately turned his anger on Li Yanxi.

Li Yanxi was very innocent and said, "He came to beg me on his own initiative."

Cheng Xiaojing had a bit of a conscience, and explained something for Li Yanxi.

"He is also Teacher Guan's student. If others say he can't do it, can Teacher Guan still say he can't?"

Lan Tian probably felt powerless, so he gave up and leaned against the chair with his face up, closed his eyes, and said, "If you want to ask anything, ask quickly, and get out of here quickly."

Cheng Xiaojing almost couldn't hold back his anger for a moment, he took a deep breath, and said, "Don't mess with me, come out by yourself if you have the ability." There are a bunch of people outside working for him, and he pretended that you all owe me The two hundred and five samples, 360 degrees without dead ends.

Lan Tian curled up his lips and smiled, and said, "It's actually pretty good here, and it's very quiet. If I stay here for a while, I'll probably really become a good-natured young man."

Cheng Xiaojing said: "You can do whatever you like, but your affairs have hindered me. For the sake of my life, I have to get you out of here."

Lan Tian froze, and when he looked at Cheng Xiaojing again, his face showed a rare seriousness.

Li Yanxi said from the side: "Xiao Jing, one size fits all. Whether that matter has anything to do with Lan Tian is still unknown."

Cheng Xiaojing seemed to have never heard of it, and said: "Whether there is a count, only he knows in his heart."

Lan Tian seemed to be aroused with tension, he stared at Cheng Xiaojing closely, and asked, "What happened?"

Cheng Xiaojing looked at him and said, "Uncle Gong, he attacked me half a month ago in Lan He's villa area. I woke up after being in a coma for a week. Although there is no evidence, I think the two cases are from the same person. There should be some overlap between them."

Lan Tian's face was livid, he fidgeted and smoothed his well-proportioned hairstyle with his hands, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth.It's a pity that there is a soundproof glass between them, so they can't hear clearly.

Cheng Xiaojing leaned forward and said solemnly: "We are now a community of interests, so please cooperate with me, and Gong Shuzhen must be found."

Li Yanxi is seldom serious outside, especially when it's not about his own affairs, he will always look like a fool and has no formal appearance.But even he couldn't help but say something for his junior brother about this matter.

"Young Master Lan, you have your own persistence, but sometimes it's better to worry about others."

Lan Tian gave him a knife-like cold gaze, but when he turned to Cheng Xiaojing, his taste changed.

He said helplessly: "Okay, I will cooperate, you ask."

Only then did Cheng Xiaojing open the book and start his main task for today.

The dialogue between a lawyer and his client is basically similar to that of a police interrogation of a prisoner, but for the client, the lawyer is his own person, so in order to elicit the client's trust in the lawyer in the conversation, they usually choose to be close first.

It's a pity that Cheng Xiaojing has a cold temper, and he never gets close to the person he talks to.

Even if this person is Lan Tian who has a close relationship with him.

"First question, did you kill Chen Yuanyuan?"

Lan Tian probably realized that today's conversation would play a vital role in his case, so he began to speak very carefully.

"No." He pondered over and over before answering Cheng Xiaojing.

Cheng Xiaojing could see that he was serious, but he also knew Lan Tian well enough—whether Lan Tian was serious or foolish, he couldn't believe everything he said.Cheng Xiaojing immediately nodded and asked the second question.

"On the day of the incident, why did you go to the University City?"

Lan Tian took a deep breath and said: "My mother called me and asked me to pick up someone. She invested in a film and television training project of Xiwei Films and brought people in. There was a social meeting that night."

Cheng Xiaojing thought of Mei Xueqi's case, what happened to Chen Jiajin at the banquet that night.From this point of view, Chen Yuanyuan has actually boarded the boat of Lan's family, but why did he die in Lantian's car in the end?

"The statement you gave to the police before was that you stayed there all the time after you got there and never left. Later, you said that you didn't receive anyone, so you came back and stayed for only a few minutes. But in fact, the monitoring Li found your car parked near the crime scene for more than half an hour. During the period, there were people there...the corpse couldn't possibly get into your car by itself."

Lan Tian hesitated here for a long time, and said, "I lied. I left for a while."

Cheng Xiaojing was so angry that his hands shook when he heard the words lie.But his expression remained unmoved, as if he was a robot, showing no emotion at all.

"Where did you go? Is there any evidence?" He asked routinely.

"I ordered a cake for you. I wanted to call to order it, but I was afraid that you wouldn't like it, so I went to a nearby pastry shop to pick one out."

Cheng Xiaojing gave him a look of "Are you sick?" The university town is in the farthest western suburb of Qilan City, and it takes an hour's drive to reach the city limits, and the birthday was set to be in the east of the city.

Lan Tian followed without knowing why.

"Their family has a chain, and they promise that I can deliver it."

Cheng Xiaojing took a deep breath and said, "Why are you lying?"

Lan Tian hesitated for a long time, and said, "Why don't you tell me why Gong Shuzhen is following you."

Cheng Xiaojing could hear a bit of ambiguity from his blunt change of subject, he said: "You know that Gong Shuzhen will attack me? Does that mean you also know that he will kill Chen Yuanyuan?" In these two sentences, Even if only one is established, it will give Cheng Xiaojing confidence that today's trip was not in vain.

The more Lan Tian knew, the easier it was for Gong Shuzhen's intentions to be revealed.The situation he faced before that "the reason why Gong Shuzhen came to attack him is almost ignorant" may break through.

Lan Tian denied it simply and neatly.

"I do not know."

Cheng Xiaojing lowered his voice and warned: "Are you afraid that I will die too slowly?"

"..." Lan Tian frowned, and said, "Gong Shuzhen has been staring at me for a long time, and I don't know where he has a deep hatred for my family, and he is specifically targeting me."

"You don't know the reason?" Cheng Xiaojing asked suspiciously.

"If I knew, I wouldn't need to come here. I just think that he can calm down if he can't find me." Lan Tian wiped his face with both hands, and said, "I really don't know what happened that night."

"Why do you lie?" Cheng Xiaojing asked again, "The surveillance is there. I mentioned this issue when I first met you. Don't you know that such a move is equivalent to saying that you did it on purpose?"

"I just said, I just think he can't find me..." Lan Tian tried his best to repeat what he said before.

But it was immediately interrupted by Cheng Xiaojing.

"To be honest, finding Gong Shuzhen is the biggest guarantee for my personal safety. To put it bluntly, your escaping now is making me worse. I thought you were not such a person."

Lan Tian's face turned black into the bottom of the pot.

Li Yanxi couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded Cheng Xiaojing in a low voice.

"Don't mix your personal emotions into it, Hyo Kyung."

Cheng Xiaojing looked up at him and said, "What did I say wrong?"

Li Yanxi rubbed his nose, regretting his unreasonable behavior.

In the end, in order to prove Cheng Xiaojing's thought was correct, Lan Tian said what he had been suppressing all along.

"There is someone who wants to attack you. I found someone to investigate and found out. Gong Shuzhen appeared in Qilan City after that." He thought that he only needed to bring Gong Shuzhen into the case, and sacrifice himself to buy a little time.When the matter is clear and he comes out again, the matter will be over smoothly.

Who would have thought that Gong Shuzhen could escape from prison!

Cheng Xiaojing asked: "Who?"

Lan Tian said: "I don't know, all the things are in the hands of my client, and before he can give them to me, something happened to me."

Cheng Xiaojing asked, "Lan He?"

Lan Tian deliberately ignored him, and turned to Li Yanxi: "...Lawyer Li, please come here tomorrow alone, I suddenly don't want to stay here now."

After coming out, Li Yanxi couldn't help his curiosity and asked, "How do you know it's Lan He?"

Cheng Xiaojing said: "Lan He is very responsible and stable in his work. Except for him, I can't think of anyone who can make Lan Tian so relieved." He deliberately omitted the fact that Lan He entrusted Lan He to raise his son.

Lan He is already tired enough, so he can't cause him any more trouble.
