crime puzzle

The main body of this department store is a normal structure, all shops are all in one color, and the side next to the wall is completely closed.The entertainment club is located above the mall on the left.It is basically the same as other commercial buildings.

Only the top two floors of the building on the right are said to be used for the administrative offices of the shopping mall, making it look like a common business floor.

The figure that Cheng Xiaojing saw was on the window of the highest floor.The other party seemed to realize that he was looking at him, and waved to Cheng Xiaojing from afar.

Cheng Xiaojing stared at it for a long time, but couldn't figure out who the other party was.

He hurriedly called Chen Yifan over, pointed to the upstairs and asked, "Do you recognize who the person above is?"

Chen Yifan got up and looked up at the roof of the building facing the dazzling sunlight that was about to reach noon.As a result, his eyes were dazzled by the light, and he squinted and said, "Where is that? The light blinded me."

Cheng Xiaojing narrowed his eyes and looked again for a while, only to find that the person had disappeared.The person who waved at him just now seemed to be his own hallucination.

Chen Yifan looked sideways at him with tears in his eyes, and asked, "What does the person you see look like? Describe it to see if I have any impression."

Cheng Xiaojing narrowed his eyes and said, "I didn't see who it was, but he waved to me, he should be someone who knows me."

Chen Yifan looked at him and guessed, "It can't be Lan He."

Regarding Chen Yifan's speculation, Cheng Xiaojing was dubious.It wasn't until we met Lan He at noon and asked Lan He face to face that Chen Yifan's answer was denied.

Cheng Xiaojing was puzzled in his heart, Lan He handed him a list, and said in a low voice: "Privately asked the organizer for the list, you can see if there are any acquaintances of yours."

Lan He didn't want this list to identify people for Cheng Xiaojing.

When they came here, the three of them had their own tasks.

Cheng Xiaojing looked through the list and confirmed that there was no one he knew very well, thinking that maybe he was making a fuss too much.He looked sideways at Lan He, handed the list back to him, and asked, "Did you find out anything? News about the club."

Lan He deliberately moved a little closer to him, looking past the crowd, and landed on a man in a black suit.Cheng Xiaojing cooperated with him and moved his ear closer to him, as if listening carefully.

"Did you see the man next to the woman in the navy blue suit on the right side of me?" Lan He's deep voice pierced into Cheng Xiaojing's ears abruptly.

The warm breath hit the ears a little itchy, Cheng Xiaojing withdrew a little sensitively, and looked over there coldly.

The man was of medium height, with a middle-aged beer belly. He had a kind face and good eyesight, and he squinted his eyes while smiling.The black suit looks a bit high-end, so it shouldn't be for ordinary people.

Lan He took the initiative to get closer and said, "He is the owner of the club, surnamed Qian."

Cheng Xiaojing's eyes fell on the list that Lan He was holding in his hand again.The name of the entertainment club next door was impressively ranked first, in the position of the sponsor.

"I came here just to meet him." Lan He didn't shy away from Cheng Xiaojing, "This area has his influence, so he can be the champion in the night scene. But Xu Changshan's death is tantamount to smashing his place and touching him. I don't think he did it."

Cheng Xiaojing asked without hesitation: "Xu Changshan is in the pimp business, right? As the boss, he should know what kind of people he has under his command. Does hiding drugs on him affect him?"

Lan He said: "Of course it has an impact."

In a place like Maogui where dragons and snakes are mixed, who doesn't have a business that can't be spoken to outsiders?If you don't know the basics of the people under your hands, no one will rest assured that they will put people on their own territory.

After all, in this kind of place that specializes in night market consumption, any "mistakes" will affect future business.

"As soon as I mentioned Xu Changshan, he complained a lot." Lan He smiled, "What do you mean the service industry is not easy to do? Xu Changshan is his most capable right-hand man. In the future, if there is no such person, he doesn't know how to find him." Who replaced."

Cheng Xiaojing asked: "He complained to you?"

Lan He said: "I don't want to find a suitable candidate to replace Xu Changshan as soon as possible."

"...Are you also involved in this kind of business?" Cheng Xiaojing had never cared about what Lan He's company did before.However, after contacting his assistant twice, he found that his assistant was not an ordinary person either.

"Well." Lan He generously admitted his business scope, "It's just an amateur. My family knows a lot of people, and it is easier to find talents in various fields than ordinary people."

Cheng Xiaojing was a little surprised, thinking in his heart why Chen Yifan likes to ask Lan He for help so much.

After asking, Cheng Xiaojing realized that he had asked a little too much. It was rare for him to seriously say to Lan He: "In the future, don't tell anyone casually."

Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, in this society, people are betrayed by their closest people every day.Although he felt that Lan He would not be reduced to that point.

Lan He smiled and seemed not to care about such things.

Cheng Xiaojing knew that he had diverted the topic, so it was rare for him to take the initiative to change the topic, and said, "What did you mean just now, it is unlikely that Boss Qian knows the cause of Xu Changshan's death?"

Lan He shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's common sense to pretend to be stupid when talking to the outside world. No boss will take the initiative to admit that he knows the ins and outs of the murder case."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Yifan and said, "Didn't the police station take away all the surveillance cameras?"

Chen Yifan raised his head and glanced at Lan He when he heard the sensitive words.

Cheng Xiaojing leaned towards Chen Yifan again, and asked, "Is there anything else in the club's surveillance? Did you capture suspicious people such as Xiao Min, Xu Changshan and the like?"

Chen Yifan hesitated, and asked, "Do you have to say it here?"

Seeing his strange expression, Lan He reached out and dragged Cheng Xiaojing a little closer, and said, "Let him go. This person is not very used to whispering to others."

A meal that the bidders ate together was harmonious and harmonious, as if the future was bright.

What Cheng Xiaojing didn't expect was that many people came up to say hello to Lan Heguang when he was sitting here for a meal, and some even came up to drink.Lan He didn't refuse, and didn't push anyone who came.

Cheng Xiaojing asked him: "Are you expecting to go back later and I will drive you?"

Lan He's mind was spinning quickly.

"How about calling a driver?"

Cheng Xiaojing heheed him, and said, "Give me the money for the substitute driver." Besides, Lan He, who was temporarily stuck on the road and would only call his assistant to drive, how could he just ask for a substitute driver? drive.

Lan He suppressed his voice and wanted to tease Cheng Xiaojing, but Chen Yifan suddenly sat down beside Cheng Xiaojing with a dark face.Only then did he realize that Chen Yifan had actually left, so he asked Chen Yifan with this face.

"what happened?"

Chen Yifan's face was obviously filled with anger, and Cheng Xiaojing knew that something had happened again just by looking at him.

"Yeah." Chen Yifan responded, picked up the phone and typed for a while.

Lan He felt a shock in his pocket, subconsciously took out his phone and took a look.

"Why do you want to be so mysterious..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze.

Cheng Xiaojing raised his head when he heard him speak.

Lan He suddenly handed the phone in front of him.

On his screen was a message sent to him by Chen Yifan. The content of the message was - "Xiao Min died in a car accident. The body and the driver who caused the accident have just been sent back to the city bureau."

Cheng Xiaojing frowned sensitively when he saw the word "car accident", and glanced at Chen Yifan.

Chen Yifan looked particularly depressed.

The case was inherently complicated, and after finally finding a breakthrough, the breakthrough suddenly disappeared.

Cheng Xiaojing grabbed Lan He's cell phone, and directly replied a message back.

"Why is the body sent to the Municipal Bureau? What's the matter?"

Chen Yifan directly typed two words back.

"He killed."

Cheng Xiaojing held his breath and looked at Chen Yifan with sympathy.

Chen Yifan ate the cheap food in silence, and typed again after a long while.

Cheng Xiaojing stared at the phone.

"Do you think Xiao Min's death is a bit strange?" Chen Yifan seldom asks such questions with obvious hints, usually it means that he has very strong thoughts about Xiao Min's death in his heart.

He has to be induced to speak out all the words, and it is easy to strengthen his thinking by holding back - that is, cranky thinking.Cheng Xiaojing replied to him immediately.

"Yes, very strange."

Chen Yifan: "Is it possible that someone did it on purpose for us to see?"

Cheng Xiaojing didn't reply to him.

This question already involved the judgment of the case, he couldn't easily give Chen Yifan a conclusion, since they didn't have any information about Xiao Min's death.

He thought for a long time, and replied to Chen Yifan: "The conclusion requires enough clues to make a judgment. Don't make easy assumptions based on your current position."

Chen Yifan sighed and put the phone in his pocket.

In the afternoon, the three of them were a little absent-minded, but the organizer had to give them face. The three of them insisted on surviving the afternoon bidding show. When the organizer announced the end, they rushed out of the building together.

Cheng Xiaojing sat in the driver's seat consciously, Lan He was stunned for a moment, and said something superfluous when he turned the front of the car and got into the co-pilot.

"It is the wisest choice to bring you along for entertainment in the future."

Cheng Xiaojing pressed the car key to start it with one hand, and said, "I am much more expensive than your assistant, so let's give your assistant a raise."

Lan He smiled cheaply, and after getting into the car on the road, he looked at Chen Yifan who was leading the way dutifully, and said, "The situation is very wrong?"

Cheng Xiaojing turned the steering wheel and said, "Xiao Min's death means that all the clues are broken. We just judged that Xiao Min may have something to do with the murderer this morning."

"One case has not been settled, and another case has started." Lan He sighed: "Chen Yifan's official career is really bumpy."
