crime puzzle

Qilan City is a typical southern coastal city. It is cold in winter and hot in summer. Spring and autumn can be ignored for a short time.Thin coats are always transitional products for changing seasons. They are only on display for a few days, and they are immediately submerged in the scorching heat of summer by summer clothes.

Xiao Min finished packing up a bunch of out-of-season clothes he had collected through internal channels, and silently calculated his future business in his heart.After it was over, she looked down at the time in some panic. The minute hand was quietly approaching the number twelve. She took a deep breath, and pretended not to care, and glanced at the nine that the hour hand was about to approach.

"Knock knock..." There was a sound of finger snapping coming from the cash register, Xiao Min suddenly raised her head, facing the man who was lying on the cash register and blinking at her, the expression on her face suddenly disappeared.

The man's name is Xu Changshan, the manager of the entertainment club next door.Unlike her morning and afternoon shifts without evening shifts, this point happened to be when they went to work.

Xu Changshan leaned sideways outside the cashier counter, half-closed his eyes and looked around the empty shopping mall, and suddenly smiled, and said, "Come to our side later? Many people you know are in our place."

Xiao Minlei refused his malicious invitation without moving. She looked at the clock on the phone in front of her with her long neck and downcast eyes.

"No, I'm going to get off work later."

Xu Changshan tilted his head, seeing that she didn't pay attention to him, showing a little impatient look, but he said patiently: "You, why are you so rigid? There are better jobs that make money and are not tiring. Go, just hang out here to get such a dead salary." As he said, he deliberately took a look inside her big and small bags.

Xiao Min raised her head and smiled like a flower at Xu Changshan.

"I just like this kind of job without showing my face, you care about me?"

The minute hand accurately moved to the number twelve. Xiao Min breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the bag she had prepared a long time ago, got up and turned out of the cash register, she glanced outside the mall, breathed a sigh of relief, and then seemed to come He thought casually and said: "Manager Xu, there are many beautiful girls in our venue. It's not worthwhile for you to stare at me."

It has not been a day or two for Xu Changshan to dig Xiao Min.Xu Changshan is different from others, he scouts all the talents he seeks.Xiao Min has an aura that makes people feel that the future is boundless.This is one of the reasons he keeps pestering her.

As a result, it was the first day that Xiao Min responded positively to him.

The situation that had been frozen all this time suddenly made progress, Xu Changshan looked at Xiao Min's pretty face in a daze, and it took him a while to react.

"You have been in our industry before, I can tell at a glance." Turning his face, he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he said something shameful.

Xiao Min smiled even brighter, and said: "Then Manager Xu is really blind. My parents are very conservative, and they graduated from college well, how could they let me work this kind of night shift."

Xu Changshan thought to himself, college students are amazing?Now in this society where college students are crawling around, how can they look at the three characters of college students.He looked at Xiao Min, and there was an indelible air of dust in this woman's eyes, which must have been contaminated by being in sensual places all the year round.

Although he has not been in this industry for a long time, the person who led him taught him how to look at people—absolutely not wrong, and he came to a conclusion firmly in his heart.

Xiao Min answered a phone call, and when she was talking on the phone, she swept away the dusty look on her face and became reserved.

Xu Changshan thought from the bottom of his heart that he was also quite boring.There are too many good-looking women in this world. Although the sex process is a bit troublesome, it is easier to control those who know the basics.A woman like Xiao Min is not the best.

But this is the worst thing, the only time you talk to yourself, you dare to show yourself aloof?What is she?

He couldn't help muttering annoyedly.

"A college student is amazing?!"

Xiao Min, who was talking on the phone, heard some movement, turned to look at him suspiciously, and asked, "Is Manager Xu still busy?"

Xu Changshan turned around and said, "You are busy, I will talk to you next time."

Xiao Min waved at him, and then strode towards the door without hesitation.Xiao Min is the kind of beauty who can withstand scrutiny from both the front and the back, even if she walks fast, she still carries large and small bags of clothes that don't match her appearance.

But he couldn't hide the seductive smell emanating from her body.

Xu Changshan stared at her back, a raging evil thought spontaneously arose in his heart.

Cheng Xiaojing was sitting in his office, facing a client who had an appointment with him three days ago.

The client was a very young guy, carrying a student-style backpack, wearing a sports T-shirt that can be seen everywhere in school, and wearing a pair of cropped trousers underneath.

He looked at Cheng Xiaojing nervously and nervously, even forced a polite smile.

Cheng Xiaojing briefly summed up why he was looking for him today.

"Your sister's name is Xiao Min. She was raped by Xu Changshan half a month ago, and the case has not yet been resolved. Xu Changshan died suddenly. Now your sister is a suspect, isn't it?"

The young man nodded and said emotionally: "They kept talking nonsense, saying that my sister seduced Xu Changshan and planned to blackmail Xu Changshan and extort money! They also said that she must have accomplices, and those accomplices blackmailed Xu Changshan several times and accidentally killed her." Only when there are people, there is a murder case."

Cheng Xiaojing interrupted him and said, "You shouldn't come to me in this situation, I suggest you go to the police."

The young man froze all of a sudden, his face turned into an iron plate, heavy and hard,

After a while, Cheng Xiaojing stood up and said, "If I didn't help you, I won't charge you for the conversation. Let me introduce you to a policeman. He works in the city bureau, and I can vouch for his character. But I don't guarantee that he has time."

Chen Yifan has always been busy, and when he has something to do, he has to make an appointment with him in advance.

The young man stood up stiffly, and numbly took the note that Cheng Xiaojing handed him.

Cheng Xiaojing felt that this young man was not in the right mood, subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at him, and found that the child's eyes were red at some point.He froze for a moment, held back for a long time, and decided not to meddle in other people's business.

In the case of a dead person, you can never make a judgment just by listening to one side or just looking at the performance of one side.

What's more, this young man seems to know nothing about his sister, except for the things that are too deep.

Coaxed away this inexplicable party.After much deliberation, Cheng Xiaojing made a phone call to Police Officer Chen who was busy with everything.Officer Chen was really busy, picked up the phone, and said furtively, "Hey~~What can Lawyer Cheng do~~"

Cheng Xiaojing listened to the almost jet-like voice, groped for breath to realize what the other party said, and asked politely.

"Inconvenient? I'll call you later." As he spoke, he hung up the phone without causing trouble.

In less than 5 minutes, Chen Yifan called back.

Cheng Xiaojing asked in surprise: "I thought you were stalking which party, if it's inconvenient to talk about it later, it's not a big deal."

Chen Yifan smiled at him, and said, "Where is it? Lawyer Cheng is very busy. It must be a big deal to find me. I will definitely put it first."

Cheng Xiaojing snorted and said, "You're overestimating me, next time I'll go to Lan He first."

"Don't, don't, I still like to do business with Lawyer Cheng." Chen Yifan couldn't keep his mouth shut as soon as he said it, and rebuked Lan He casually. "Lan He is probably used to disciplining his nephew at ordinary times. Every time he doesn't speak a few words with him, he starts to educate me. Hey..."

Let alone Chen Yifan, even a serious person like Cheng Xiaojing was not spared in front of Lan He.

The most serious thing was the last time I went to work with Chen Yifan.

Cheng Xiaojing promptly withdrew his thoughts of walking away, coughed softly and said, "It's business. Have you received an unsolved murder case recently?"

When Chen Yifan heard this, he laughed teasingly: "There are no murder cases that have been solved, and there have been five cases in Qilan City this month. Why? Attorney Cheng is interested in these cases?"

Cheng Xiaojing hurriedly explained: "No. I picked up a client in the morning. He was a college student and told me about his sister being involved in a murder case. This kind of murder case that has not been solved has not yet reached the stage of litigation. We will also send If it’s useless, I’ll give him your call.”

"..." Chen Yifan said seriously, "Lawyer Cheng, if the citizens of Qilan City were like you, I would die from exhaustion."

Cheng Xiaojing didn't take this to heart, and said: "I thought about it carefully before I let him go to you. The clues come to you by yourself, it's better than you looking for it randomly. His brother doesn't seem to trust people. I think he might give you some help if you don't make any progress on this case."

On the point of inverting black and white, the person Chen Yifan admires the most is Cheng Xiaojing.

It was obvious that he didn't want to worry about the case, and with his professional advantages, he naturally left the case to himself.When the words came out of his mouth, it turned out that he was sincerely thinking about the police solving the case as soon as possible.

Chen Yifan is also very self-aware, he doesn't want to do more useless work, so he just responded to Cheng Xiaojing's request and asked: "What case? Let me know first, so that I don't mistake the person."

Cheng Xiaojing's eyes fell on the sticky note he was taking notes on just now.

"The name of the deceased is Xu Changshan, the splendid on-duty manager. He was 28 years old. He was absent from work for no reason on June 20. Three days later, his body was found in the trunk of his car."

Chen Yifan interrupted him immediately.

"Oh oh oh oh, I know about that case." After Chen Yifan yelled, he paused to think, and said, "That case was not reported to our city bureau. When I went to the branch office to do business that day, I sat in on the branch office. A meeting was held. Because it is a bit similar to the case of Lan Tian, ​​I will remember it."

Cheng Xiaojing saw that he understood and immediately prepared to finish.

"I'm just telling you that, if that young man is looking for you, you should take a second look."

Chen Yifan was a little surprised, and asked, "What's the relationship between that child and you? It's the first time I've seen Lawyer Cheng being so enthusiastic."

Cheng Xiaojing smiled and said, "It's not relative, it's just a favor. This society is not as cold-blooded as people think, is it?"

Chen Yifan was paused by what he said, and suddenly said in a solemn and emotional tone: "Lawyer Cheng is absolutely right, you can rest assured to leave this matter to me."

Just as Chen Yifan hung up the phone, another call came in like a reminder.

He stared at the phone number on it, his face drooped, and he uttered the phrase "the ghost lingers" irritably, but he still answered the phone resignedly.
