crime puzzle

Lan He sighed softly, and said, "It's a bit hard to explain, I will tell you slowly when I find a chance later."

Cheng Xiaojing nodded, and automatically interpreted his move as he had more important things to say to himself tonight.

Lan He listened to the commotion in the kitchen and thought it would take a while, so he opened his mouth.

"I have indeed checked Xiwei Films for a long time."

Cheng Xiaojing kept looking at him, and was not surprised when he heard such a topic at the beginning, he just responded lightly: "Well, why did you want to check his house?"

Lan He propped up his upper body with both hands to make his sitting posture look more correct.

"Didn't my mother invest in them? I'm in the mall, and I always want to help find out."

Cheng Xiaojing subconsciously evaluates in his heart, this excuse sounds quite easy.Although the degree of his investigation does not seem to match the actual situation.

He nodded politely and said, "Investment really needs to be a little more cautious."

Lan He's hairs stood on end at his words, and at the same time, a little ominous omen was born in his heart.

"However, you even checked the details of their employees so clearly, it's a bit over the top." Cheng Xiaojing didn't seem to want to be polite to him, and directly pointed out his lies.

Lan He's face froze with a smile.

"Don't be like this..." Even if you know that he has lied.Anyway, give him a little face, so that you don't get too embarrassed in front of him.

Cheng Xiaojing raised his head and said, "Don't be like this. I have been a lawyer for ten years, not a year. If I can't even feel this thing, can I still enjoy this bowl of rice?"

Lan He turned his head, scratched his head uncomfortably, and after a long while, he lay on his back on the sofa as if surrendering, complaining in a murmur.

"I thought you'd save me some face."

Cheng Xiaojing squinted at him and said, "Is it good for me to give you face?"

Lan He looked up at the lights on the ceiling, thinking endlessly in his heart how he would pass this test.

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly raised his voice, and said: "If you don't want to say it, just say it. I don't have to ask you to answer it? Just like before, I can accept a sentence that is hard to explain."

Lan He's heart seemed to be twitched, he raised his head to look at Cheng Xiaojing.

Cheng Xiaojing is not looking at him now.He stared at the screen of the laptop he placed on the table, and the screen was no longer the previous news—when he felt that he had lost face in the Mariana Trench, Cheng Xiaojing's mind seemed to have already turned to other things place to go.

The tension in Lan He's heart dropped a little, and he said, "This matter is very important, and I don't want to be perfunctory."

Cheng Xiaojing stared at the computer screen indifferently, slightly opened his eyes, then laughed lowly, and said, "It sounds like you value me, so I will reluctantly accept your excuse."

"Thank you." Lan He felt a little baffled, he thought that Cheng Xiaojing would raise this question because he had already noticed something.However, he didn't say anything, and he didn't force himself to say anything more.

"If it's something related to me, I can understand you. But if you think the timing is right, you must tell me." Cheng Xiaojing turned to Lan He and spoke extremely seriously.

—He wasn't kidding himself.

Looking at Cheng Xiaojing's face, Lan He had such a feeling in his heart.Although his expression was serious, there was a smile on his face that was different from the usual cold expression.Although his whole body posture is relaxed, it is not the previous appearance of repelling people thousands of miles away.

"Since the reason can't be said, the things found out can always be shared." Cheng Xiaojing said: "After all, we are now on the same front."

Lan He followed subconsciously.

"What do you want to know?"

"The background of Xi Wei Films, who is behind them is controlling the funds."

Lan He heard the movement from behind and said, "Let's eat first, and I'll tell you carefully after eating."

"Will it be very long-winded?" Cheng Xiaojing said hesitantly, "My biological clock is a little punctual, I'm afraid I can't go to bed late."

It was only at this time that Lan He realized why Cheng Xiaojing insisted on talking before meals.

"...If you don't mind, stay here tonight. I'll ask the nanny to clean up the guest room." Lan He spoke with a little joy and thoughtfulness.Although the time was set at night, he didn't expect that Cheng Xiaojing would stay overnight.

Of course Cheng Xiaojing didn't expect it either.

Even when Chen Yifan left, he didn't think about how he would go home for a while.

It was rare for him to think carefully about the issue of staying overnight, and he said nervously: "But I didn't bring anything. And I still don't know the bed."

Lan He's thoughts ranged from staying overnight, to whether he could ask a driver to drive, and then to discovering that his car had been driven away by his assistant.Now it's too inhumane to have the assistant drive back and so on.

In the end, he found that there seemed to be only one choice.

He looked at Cheng Xiaojing helplessly, and said: "...It's a bit troublesome, my car is still at the company. My assistant should be at home from get off work now, and if he wants to go back to the company before driving here, it may take midnight. "

Cheng Xiaojing understood the meaning of his words.

Seeing Cheng Xiaojing's tense face, Lan He couldn't help becoming nervous.

"Let's eat first."

It was a weird meal.Four people plus a cat, the scene is as quiet as a chicken.

At first, Cheng Xiaojing murmured back a few words to Lan He's words, but then he simply wandered off, with all kinds of strange thoughts flooding his mind one after another.

Compared to Cheng Xiaojing who was always in a trance, Lan He felt like throwing up nervously, he couldn't eat after two bites.Seeing that Cheng Xiaojing was also eating absent-mindedly, he lowered his voice and asked the little nanny where the unused toiletries were kept.

The little nanny was stunned for a moment, and Lan Xiaodou happily answered the questions for the young lady.

"I know I know, in the bottom drawer of the closet in my room. Is this uncle going to live here?"

Lan He wiped his frantic head like ADHD, and said, "Yeah. It's too late to talk about things, so I can't go back."

The words "can't go back" seemed to touch Lan Xiaodou's compassion, he looked at Cheng Xiaojing sympathetically, and said, "It's all my uncle's fault for making him work overtime so late."

Cheng Xiaojing coincided with Shenyou Tianwai returning for a while, just in time to see Lan Xiaodou sympathetically looking at him with the word "work overtime".

"Your uncle often works overtime."

Lan He looked confused, thinking how did this topic come to him?

"It's really hard to start a business on your own. I'm a little different from office workers like you."

Cheng Xiaojing didn't expose his lies, he found that when it comes to matters related to himself, he always lied habitually, as if trying to cover up something.

After the meal, the nanny went to pack the things, and Lan Xiaodou stomped upstairs with the full bean sprouts.

Seeing this, Lan He yelled at his little back like a habit.

"Run slowly, don't panic!"

Lan Xiaodou disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, and only one sentence came down from upstairs.

"I'm looking for toiletries for uncle."

Cheng Xiaojing and Lan He sat down on the sofa one after another.

"Temperature is like the blue sky, a bit dry. But being considerate is very similar to you." Cheng Xiaojing commented pertinently.

"I have always brought it with me, of course it will be like me." Lan He smiled proudly. After finishing speaking, Cheng Xiaojing suddenly realized that Cheng Xiaojing seemed to be praising himself in disguise. Say I'm being unreasonable."

It's about Cheng Xiaojing's first visit here.

Cheng Xiaojing now also feels that he was a little irritable at the time, probably because he felt that Lan He was only thinking from the perspective of Lan Tian, ​​which made him particularly uncomfortable.

"Forget it, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about business."

Lan He found a pillow to cushion his lower back, and said: "Xiwei Films is a subsidiary of Rogge Group in name, but it is independently operated. To it, Rogge Group is a bit like a disguised form." invest."

"It's okay to invest with reputation." Cheng Xiaojing said.

"Affiliating with a subsidiary can save this small company a lot of trouble. Moreover, other investors will favor him more because of the strong background of the Rogge Group behind him."

Cheng Xiaojing nodded.

Lan He continued: "So just like other investors, Xiwei Pictures can be safely protected by the Rogge Group as long as it provides 2000 million dividends to his head office every year."

"Didn't you mean independent management? According to you, isn't this still their company?" Cheng Xiaojing was puzzled.

"Of course not." Lan He said, "In terms of operation, Xiwei Films is completely independent, and people from the Rogge Group have no right to intervene in any matters related to his operation."

When Jing Lanhe said this, Cheng Xiaojing felt a little weird presence of Xiwei Films.

"Depending on others, but not letting them intervene? It's a bit tough." Cheng Xiaojing asked: "For a company as big as the Rogge Group, it's not bad for an investment business of 2000 million a year. Why do you accept such terms? According to the current situation of Xi Wei Films, it must have a great influence on him."

Lan He said, "Yes, it's here."

why?

"But your family should still invest." Cheng Xiaojing suddenly changed the subject.

Lan He nodded and said, "I invested, but the funds have been reduced by half."

Cheng Xiaojing heard some signs, and coupled with what he had discussed with Lan He about Xiwei Films before, he tentatively asked: "Is there a reason why you have to vote?"

"Well, this project was initiated by one of my mother's alumni. The other party is not an ordinary person. Even if it is just to save face, it is worth several million."

Cheng Xiaojing laughed out loud, and then fell silent.

"Several millions are actually not considered a status. The bad thing is that the relationship between my mother and the other party is known." Lan He sighed, and said, "So the case of Lan Tian is also a bit of a coincidence. Wan also made a lot of trouble in his own home. I am really at a loss."
