crime puzzle

When Lan He called, Cheng Xiaojing was getting ready to get on the bus.

After answering the phone, he didn't say a few words, and saw that Cheng Xiaojing's foot was about to kick up.

Lan He suddenly said - "Where are you now? Are you free to come to my house?"

Cheng Xiaojing abruptly retracted his feet and turned his back.

"Oh, I was just about to go back, what's the matter?"

The bus driver seemed to know him and yelled at him.

Cheng Xiaojing turned his head and shook his head at the driver.The driver just closed the door, and the car drove slowly behind Cheng Xiaojing.The night wind that brings the hustle and bustle of the city to an end is so refreshing that people can't help but want to take a deep breath.

Lan He said: "You wait at the station for a while, and Yifan will pick you up."

Cheng Xiaojing instantly withdrew the soft look on his face, and asked, "About the case?"

Lan He paused, and replied: "He probably wants to ask us something. But I'm not in a good condition to go out, so that's all I can do."

Cheng Xiaojing thought it was good, he actually didn't like the social atmosphere in the city bureau, at least Lan He's family didn't have so many people.

"I'm waiting at the stop sign outside the office."

Not long after, Chen Yifan parked in front of him in that piecemeal police car used by the Municipal Bureau for business trips, and winked at him playfully.

"Mr. Lan didn't provide me with a high-end and comfortable car to pick you up. I'm really sorry."

Cheng Xiaojing held his pretty face, opened the door and got into the car, saying: "It's better than me who don't even have a wheel."

Chen Yifan pursed his lips and smiled, stepped on the gas pedal and praised Cheng Xiaojing.

"Lawyer Cheng is really good at talking. With your value, buying a car is a matter of minutes."

Cheng Xiaojing is holding his briefcase.

"No, my savings don't exceed five figures all the year round. The last time I was hospitalized was the money paid by Mr. Lan for my medical expenses."

When Chen Yifan heard this, he remembered that Lan He had mentioned this to him.But he didn't believe that Cheng Xiaojing, no matter whether it was external or internal, the total value of Cheng Xiaojing would not be less than seven figures when estimated in all aspects.

Such a person tells you that his secondary deposit does not exceed five figures, who will believe it?

In the bottom of my heart, Chen Yifan only thinks that the reason why the profession of lawyers attaches great importance to his privacy,

He also made a joke and said: "That's still miserable for us. You see, for people like me who often go out to work, injuries are commonplace. The medical expenses reported by the superiors cannot exceed the salary amount for a month, and sometimes they have to be reported separately. , pick it!"

Cheng Xiaojing laughed out loud.

"Fortunately, I didn't work for your city bureau, otherwise I would have to report for a year for the reimbursement just once."

Chen Yifan belatedly realized that their topic was a bit scary, who would have nothing better than spending his own medical expenses in the hospital.So I automatically fell silent for a while, preparing for the next round of topics.

Lan He squinted on his sofa for a while, and was awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone while he was half asleep.

The nanny was packing up his things and woke him up softly.

Lan He picked up the phone.

Chen Yifan just stopped the car outside and said, "We're here."

Lan He woke up suddenly, raised his head and said to the nanny to open the door, and sat up by himself.

Chen Yifan sniffed it like a dog's nose and made fun of him unscrupulously, saying, "Just woke up? You are a bit seriously ill, and you were here all night long a while ago."

As soon as Lan He thought that Chen Yifan was unlucky, his words were heard by Cheng Xiaojing, and he lowered his voice to warn: "Shut up, be careful, I will take care of you."

Chen Yifan smiled slyly.

Not far away, the door of the villa opened.

When Chen Yifan hung up the phone, Lan He suddenly heard Cheng Xiaojing answer on the other end of the phone.

"This person is the same as a car. A high-end car always needs to be carefully maintained."

"..." Lan He felt that he might be a little stupid, but he thought that Cheng Xiaojing seemed to be protecting himself?

When Lan He came back to his senses, Chen Yifan had already entered the door with Cheng Xiaojing.As soon as Bean Sprout heard the movement, she hid at the corner of the stairs and peeked downstairs.

Chen Yifan and Cheng Xiaojing both had sharper intuitions, and they all opened their heads and glanced up.

"Meow~" Chen Yifan suddenly made the same hair-blowing gesture as Bean Sprouts, and launched a threatening challenge upstairs.Startled, Bean Sprout turned around and disappeared with a whoosh.

Cheng Xiaojing looked at the confrontation scene of one person and one cat expressionlessly, thinking that maybe he was really holding it up too much, even the cat couldn't see it.

Chen Yifan sat down opposite Lan He with a smile, and said, "Your cat is still so cowardly."

Lan He glanced at him, and suddenly developed a little defensive attitude towards Bean Sprouts, and said, "Next time you raise a Tibetan Mastiff, you can try again?"

Chen Yifan raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is afraid of whom?"

Out of the corner of Lan He's eyes, he caught sight of Cheng Xiaojing who was walking around Chen Yifan and looking for a seat on the other side. He quickly retracted his feet on the sofa, patted the other side of the soft sofa and said, "Sit here, don't squeeze the wooden boards with him." sofa."

The corner of Cheng Xiaojing's mouth raised a little unconsciously.

Chen Yifan said angrily: "Okay, I understand, you two are cooperating to run on me today. Am I not a guest!"

Why didn't Lan pay attention to him, and habitually said to Cheng Xiaojing, "I haven't eaten yet. Eat after talking, or talk after eating?"

Cheng Xiaojing paused, and said: "Let's eat after you finish talking, so as not to feel uneasy." He was talking about Chen Yifan who proposed this meeting.

Chen Yifan touched~touched his nose, recognizing his low status here.

"I talked to Wei Li a little during the day, and I don't think she's telling the truth. So I want to ask Lawyer Cheng if she has told you something that you think is more important."

Cheng Xiaojing looked up at him.

"I don't know what she told you, it's hard to judge."

Chen Yifan said everything that Wei Li explained in detail, and added something like a routine.

"Keeping it secret from the outside world."

Even though Lan He was an outsider in criminal investigation and law, after Chen Yifan finished speaking, he subconsciously followed.

"Gone?"

Chen Yifan had an expression of "Look, you think that too."

"Gone."

Lan He looked at Cheng Xiaojing.

Cheng Xiaojing looked a little stiff, he seemed a little dazed, and seemed to be immersed in thinking.

"Xiaojing?" He reminded.

Cheng Xiaojing looked up at Lan He, as if he just realized it.

"It's a bit strange." As he said that, he began to take out his laptop from his briefcase, and asked while turning on the computer, "Do you have WiFi at home?"

Lan He replied yes, then leaned over and connected Cheng Xiaojing to the Internet.

Cheng Xiaojing found out the news about Wei Li that appeared on Su Weiai during the day, flipped the laptop over to face Lan He and Chen Yifan, and said, "Officer Chen should know when this news was sent out." Bar."

Chen Yifan saw himself in the news unintentionally, wiped his face in a horrible way, and said righteously: "This is an act of violating citizens' portrait rights. I want to find this media to discuss it."

Cheng Xiaojing said, "Does this technique look familiar to you?"

Lan He replied immediately.

"Tang Yadong. It's exactly the same as Tang Yadong's situation back then."

Cheng Xiaojing glanced at Lan He in surprise.Now is the age of information technology, there are countless news like this appearing every day, and one or two people who are thrown into the headlines in a situation like Wei Li will appear every once in a while.However, Lan He almost instinctively answered his question.

He's been following the case, and that's the only thing that can explain his behavior.

Cheng Xiaojing suppressed the desire to ask clearly, and continued with this topic.

"Yes. It's exactly the same scene that happened when I took the Tang Yadong case back then."

Chen Yifan asked: "You mean, someone deliberately played such a trick behind the scenes? But, didn't Wei Li say that she was manipulating Tang Yadong before this news appeared? Then who is manipulating Wei Li now? "

Cheng Xiaojing frowned and said, "I can't figure it out. Until now, I have a feeling that there seems to be something that has been leading us to go behind the scenes of this case."

Lan He pondered and said: "If it's a guide... Wei Li is the only person who is clearly suspected."

Cheng Xiaojing asked: "Can Police Officer Chen find out all the information about Wei Li? Including who borrowed usury in their family, and when she was involved in the usury incident."

Chen Yifan nodded, and said, "I started investigating yesterday, and it is estimated that the complete information will come out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..." Cheng Xiaojing murmured calmly.

Lan He asked without thinking: "It's too late?"

It was rare for Cheng Xiaojing to be honest. He frowned and nodded and said, "I'm a little unsteady. I always feel that something will happen tomorrow. I planned to call you at night to ask about the situation." Lan He knew what he didn't say. My phone call was just in time.

I couldn't help but feel a little awkward in my heart.

He smiled and said, "That's right, Yifan. Our police officer Chen is here, can you make arrangements?"

Chen Yifan sighed, and said, "I'm talking about Mr. Lan, I'm not the captain of the criminal investigation team who responds to everyone, everything is decided by the higher-ups."

Now even Lan He frowned.

Cheng Xiaojing looked at Lan He's paralyzed appearance with a solemn expression.

"Then...then..."

Forget two words have not come out yet.

Chen Yifan slapped his legs and stood up, and said, "Okay, who will let me go out to work? Leave this to me, and I will do it now."

Cheng Xiaojing was a little embarrassed and said, "It's so late. I haven't eaten yet."

Chen Yifan looked back at him as he walked out, and said, "I am short-tempered. There is a situation, and eating is not safe, it's still important to do things, and I will settle it casually in a while."

Lan He remembered something and said, "Wait a minute." After speaking, he called his nanny's name to the back.

The nanny was busy, so she only responded from afar.

Not long after, a freshly baked lunch box was lifted out of it.

Lan He pointed to the lunch box in the nanny's hand and said, "I'll give you the freshest one."

Chen Yifan was probably warmed by him, he restrained his usual arrogance, and smiled gently.He took the bag from the nanny, stood up gracefully, saluted the two people on the sofa with a standard military salute, and said, "I'm not welcome."

Cheng Xiaojing watched him go out in style, and couldn't help complaining.

"Your behavior just now is really like a wife sending her husband out."

Lan He was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw the smile on the corner of Cheng Xiaojing's mouth, felt that there was a joke in the words, and unconsciously defended himself.

"Then I've committed a serious crime of multiple bigamy? I'm still exempt."

As soon as Chen Yifan left, Cheng Xiaojing's rigid body suddenly softened. He unconsciously found a more comfortable position, leaned on the sofa, leaned on Lan He, and asked, "Are you two partners?"

Looking at the interaction between the two of them, you can tell that the relationship is very close.Cheng Xiaojing subconsciously didn't want to make their relationship more intimate.
