crime puzzle

Lan He followed Cheng Xiaojing out from inside.When Cheng Xiaojing dialed the number and turned around, he saw Lan He pushing the door and coming out.

"How did you get out?"

"Accidents happen one after another, this place is not very auspicious." Lan He sighed softly.

Cheng Xiaojing opened his mouth to severely criticize his superstitious thinking, but a thin female voice came from beside his ear.

"Which one?"

Cheng Xiaojing immediately regained his composure, and replied in a low voice: "It's me, the lawyer who chatted with you about Xiao Min last time, do you remember?"

"Oh...that handsome guy! Hello, hello, what can I do for you?" The little girl lost her previous cautiousness, and her voice suddenly became cheerful.

"I heard that Xiao Min's younger brother has been to the mall in the past few days, has he looked for you?" Cheng Xiaojing directly cut to the topic.

"Well, I've looked for it. The handsome guy has a bit of a temper, but Sister Xiao is like this, so we can understand."

"Can you tell me the process in detail? I want to know how he is doing now."

"Oh...he came here in the afternoon that day. He asked our manager as soon as he came in. I thought he was just here to ask about the situation, so I kindly took him in. Who knew that soon after he entered, there was a quarrel inside. It’s not small, it seems that he even made a move! Our manager is such a tall and strong man, but he was beaten out of the manager’s room by a child. I saw that something was wrong, so I notified the security guard at the door..."

"Did you leave later?"

"No! When I came home from work, I was shocked to see him at my door. But it was a bit strange, he seemed to be a different person. He smiled and said hello when he saw me, saying that he was coming to see my sister's room. "

"Did he come to pack up?"

"No, no, he really went in to have a look. Sister Xiao's room door was locked. When the police came last time, the landlord was ordered not to open the door casually. I thought he looked a little bit wrong, so I asked him if he wanted me to help him. The landlord took the key. In the end, it was returned to him, and he disappeared again."

"Do you remember his expression at that time?"

"It's kind of silly. I just stared at the door without saying a word, and said something like 'I said I was more obedient, and something happened now.' Something like that made people feel a little uncomfortable. "

"OK, thanks."

After receiving the call, Cheng Xiaojing looked up at Lan He and said, "Xiao Min was not killed by Xiao Xiaotian."

Lan He asked, "Why all of a sudden..."

"Xiao Xiaotian's state is like...he doesn't understand why his sister died suddenly. He can't wait to find other ways to get the information he wants because he can't see his sister's body....In this way Can reasonably explain why he came here in the afternoon when he went to the city bureau abnormally."

"Then how do you explain the traces of abuse on Xiao Min's body?"

"Doesn't Xiao Min go out to set up a stall at night?" Cheng Xiaojing said, "Putting up a stall is probably just a trick. She is going to see her brother. The injury on her body is indeed from him. Now we just need to confirm where the fatal wound is." If you find the murder weapon, you will know who the murderer is." Cheng Xiaojing said with certainty that three days had passed since the incident, and the autopsy report should be out.

"But..." Lan He retorted subconsciously.

Cheng Xiaojing said: "Don't worry, the answer will come out soon."

Lan He collected himself and nodded slowly.

Cheng Xiaojing patted him on the shoulder, gave him a push, and said, "Go ahead and settle the matter with the money boss. The garage downstairs is his territory, and we still need his cooperation."

The two of them walked in one after the other.

As soon as Cheng Xiaojing sat down, he said directly: "The garage belongs to Boss Qian too."

Qian Tonghui nodded slowly.

"We want to use the surveillance video, and it won't cause you any trouble."

Qian Tonghui hesitated, he looked towards Liu Wei with a serious expression.

"Didn't the surveillance be taken away by the police last time? Did you take it back?"

Liu Wei quickly shook his head and said, "Not yet, the case has not been solved yet."

Qian Tonghui breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Cheng Xiaojing apologetically, and said, "Look, it's really not that I don't help you."

Cheng Xiaojing said: "Are you sure you have given it to the police? Then I will call an acquaintance and ask him to help us find it."

Qian Tonghui laughed and said, "You guys are still very familiar with the police."

Chen Jiajin, who hadn't spoken the whole time, suddenly said quietly at this moment: "Don't count me in."

Lan He pressed Cheng Xiaojing's hand and said: "The monitoring of the garage is not very important, it's okay if you don't."

Cheng Xiaojing glanced at him, the monitoring of the garage itself is equivalent to a very important part of the whole process of the case.The process needs to be connected, which is essential.

"My friend does know a few policemen." Lan He smiled helplessly, "But this time, it was because he was stalked by Xiao Xiaotian. When Xiao Min was fine, he came to the door and kept stalking him." It's a little annoying."

Qian Tonghui was thoughtful.

"So, can't we call the police?"

Cheng Xiaojing said: "As lawyers, we open the door to do business. Just like Boss Qian opened the door to do business, can you drive out a client who doesn't like you?"

Qian Tonghui nodded as if empathetic, and said with emotion: "What you said is true. These days, everyone takes themselves seriously, thinking that if they throw some money, they are really God. "

"Maybe Xu Changshan ended up like this because of this." Cheng Xiaojing said seemingly unintentionally, "I want to investigate the case about Xiao Min and Xu Changshan, so that I can get out of this trouble quickly."

Qian Tonghui murmured: "You guys are always so decent when you are in a legitimate industry. In fact, some people have to let him know that not everyone is supporting him. Give him a little flair, and he will understand."

Although he said it very cryptically, the hostility in his words did not hide it.

Cheng Xiaojing was startled, and his tone faltered for a while.

"... After all, you are a legal worker. Knowing the law and breaking the law is a crime." Cheng Xiaojing said, "However, if Boss Qian can help once, it can be regarded as a favor to Boss Qian."

Hearing this, Qian Tonghui looked up at Cheng Xiaojing and asked, "Which law firm do you work for?"

Cheng Xiaojing took his own business card from the briefcase he carried with him, and handed it to Qian Tonghui.

Qian Tonghui's eyes changed when he saw the head up.About Cheng Xiaojing didn't talk much since he entered the door, and his breath was very low-key, which made him realize that walking with these few people would not be a mediocre person.

"Oh, Pengcheng Office, it's very famous. Your boss, Guan Pengcheng, is still an old acquaintance of mine." Qian Tonghui smiled, accepted the business card, and said, "Then I'll accept it without hesitation."

Cheng Xiaojing smiled, wondering if his words meant acceptance?

Qian Tonghui raised his head and gave Liu Wei a look.

Liu Wei bowed out, and Qian Tonghui immediately changed the subject, saying: "To be honest, the murder case has a great impact on our business. I have been thinking about moving the venue to the urban area recently."

There are a lot of entertainment venues in the urban area, and there are old ones and new ones everywhere.For people like Qian Tonghui, as long as they get involved, they fall into the sea, and they can't even find an echo. In terms of business, they are definitely not as good as here.

Cheng Xiaojing asked: "The urban area is more competitive, but Anwen is much more stable. It's really not safe here."

"First of all, the place has to be sold." Qian Tonghui said, "Our family was also in the last bidding meeting. I want to find a reliable expert to take over."

Cheng Xiaojing remembered the list that Lan He handed to him that day, no wonder the name of the club was so high that day.

For business matters, only Lan He has experience on their side.

"Is Boss Qian planning to find someone to take over all of them? Or just sublease the place to others." Lan He seemed a little interested and asked aloud.

Qian Tonghui said: "It is best to be able to take over all the orders. Although something happened here now, the foundation is still there after all, and the price is still very impressive."

Lan He didn't answer the call, but Lan Tian murmured: "In my family, only my mother likes to invest, but the funds that can be moved by the family are at most 200 million. I think this place even involves people. There are no tens of millions. Come down."

Qian Tonghui smiled and said: "It's okay to find someone to partner with, and I am the same way. In this kind of business, you can't do it alone. You always have to share some of the sweetness with others."

Cheng Xiaojing, who took the initiative to watch from the sidelines, glanced at Lan He, and he could hear that there was something in Qian Tonghui's words, and Lan He, an industry insider, must also understand.

Lan He smiled and said, "I'm also a little interested. Adding what Lan Tian said, it shouldn't be a problem to collect 300 million. If Boss Qian needs such a client, he can come to us."

The topic suddenly entered the bargaining business investment.Cheng Xiaojing's thoughts suddenly drifted away.

He was a little restless, and always felt that something might happen to Xiao Xiaotian.

After that, Liu Wei never showed up. Qian Tonghui answered the phone, as if he had found a reason to end the topic, got up and said that he still had something to go out, and at the same time politely said that he would invite them to dinner next time.

After going down from the top floor, Cheng Xiaojing made a detour to the shopping mall.

The little girl who called before was startled when she looked up and saw him coming in, and then greeted him generously.

Cheng Xiaojing took the initiative to go up, but asked: "Is your manager there? I want to know something about him."

The little girl gloated and said, "Is it because of Sister Xiao's younger brother? That time he was frightened. He hid at home for several days before returning to work, and even locked the door so that no one could enter casually."

Cheng Xiaojing handed her the dessert he bought at the door and said thank you.

The door of the manager's room was as quiet as a chicken. Except for the little movement coming from the shopping mall behind, it seemed that there was nothing behind this door.

Cheng Xiaojing knocked several times but there was no response, and turned to look at the cashier girl.The little girl made a gesture of knocking on the door with her fingers curled, Cheng Xiaojing had no choice but to knock again, and tentatively explained her identity before the door opened a crack.

A black shadow flashed through the crack of the door, Cheng Xiaojing raised his eyes.

The door opened.

"Lawyer? What can I do for you?" The manager stood at the door anxiously, looking terrified.She really looked terrified.

"I learned a little about Xiao Xiaotian from the little girl at the cash register. I just happened to be entangled by him, so I wanted to come over and ask you about the situation."

The manager's eyes lit up, he opened the door, and said politely, "Please come in, please come in, let me tell you, this man has a brain problem! Don't look at him, he's frightening when he starts. He doesn't have any strength in his hands." .Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would be beaten for nothing by a psychopath, and I would have to suffer for several days in the hospital."

"Crazy? Xiao Xiaotian doesn't look like that..."

"Oh, you didn't see him go berserk. I'm sure he was a mental patient who was released without taking medicine." The manager looked at him suspiciously, and said with an accentuated tone, "It's not crazy, I cut off my head Sit for you!"

……

Lan He deliberately waited downstairs for Cheng Xiaojing for a long time - he was sitting on a bench, staring ahead, his mind wandering.

When Cheng Xiaojing came down, he only saw him sitting at the door in a daze, and he didn't even notice him standing in front of him.He coughed lightly and asked, "Where are Lan Tian and the others?"

Lan He came back to his senses immediately, and said, "I was dragged away by Chen Jiajin, how are you doing?"

"As imagined, Xiao Xiaotian has no place to vent his emotions and can't hold back his emotions. His current situation...will be very dangerous."

Lan He asked: "Is it so serious?"

"It's serious," Cheng Xiaojing pulled Lan He up and said, "Let's go to Xiao's house now."

After the two got into the car, Lan He asked, "Didn't they say that their family has been at the police station these days?"

Cheng Xiaojing said while fastening his seat belt: "I confirmed with Chen Yifan, the Xiao family members did not go to the city bureau abnormally today."
