After Redemption of Paranoid Protagonist [Transmigration Book]

When Tong Jun was walking without a limp, Tong Lei also came to tell him that the results of the police investigation into the cause of the fire had almost come out.

But to Tong Jun's surprise, the cause of the fire was not a simple personal grievance, but involved an old murder case more than ten years ago.

Since the fire basically burned everything in the factory, the process of obtaining evidence was a bit difficult, and the police conducted a blanket search.It took a lot of effort to dig out several bones from a corner under the factory.

After testing, the bones belonged to several dead who were buried underground more than ten years ago, but their flesh and blood were basically rotten, and their faces could not be recognized.

Tong Jun never expected such a development: "Isn't it, it's so terrifying? Then how did those dead people come here?"

Tong Lei said: "I went to ask an acquaintance at the police station today, and I was told that the corpses are now suspected to be from an old case about missing persons and trafficking. The main messenger had been arrested as early as that year." I caught it. Anyway, it shouldn’t have much to do with you.”

He said that there were several cases of disappearances in that year. After investigation, it was found that it was a series of cases. Later, it was found that there was a black industrial chain of human trafficking behind it.

The mastermind has basically been cleared up, but there are still victims whose bodies have not been found. The level of technology at that time was low, so it had to be left alone, and it is only now being uncovered.

Tong Jun said, "Then the fire was an accident?"

Tong Lei said: "It seems that this was the first scene of the murder before. The factory was bought by Gao's family a few years ago. Recently, Gao Qing has plans to renovate the factory. It may be because he is afraid that any evidence left behind will be discovered. Only the fish that slipped through the net in that case back then took the risk.”

"Anyway, you're unlucky and you've been implicated." He pinched the tip of Tong Jun's nose, "Little idiot, let's see if you'll meddle in your own business next time."

This old case was far away from Tong Jun. After Tong Lei returned to S city, Tong Jun also learned this matter from Yuan Tuo.

He said: "You said that if this is the case, this matter should no longer have anything to do with Li Xinli?"

He opened up his mind: "Could it be impossible for her to kill and steal, and then marry your father in order to hide her identity, and it will take nearly 20 years?"

An image of a killer Li Xinli in black appeared in Yuan Tuo's mind: "..."

He thought back to his nightmare. In the dream, the two sides often calculated each other, but although Li Xinli was cunning and shameless, it seemed that she hadn't reached this level.

He doubted: "Probably not, otherwise I don't think I should be able to live now."

Both of them have experienced many bizarre things. On the one hand, they feel that Li Xinli's suspicion can be cleared, and on the other hand, they feel that everything is possible.

Tong Jun said: "I'll see her in two days, let's see her attitude."

Tong Jun was referring to Pei Yang's birthday in a few days, but Yuan Tuo didn't want him to go.

Regardless of whether the fire had something to do with Li Xinli or not, Yuan Tuo really didn't want Tong Jun to be disturbed by his family's mess. One was what he disliked the most, and the other was the treasure in his heart. It was best not to have any connection between the two.

It's a pity that he couldn't prevent it. After all, it was Pei Yang's birthday, and the Tong family would also be invited. If Tong Jun wanted to go, it was impossible for Tong Haisheng and Tong Lei not to let him.

On Friday night, the two left for S city.

Because there was too much backlog in the company a while ago, Tong Haisheng was busy with business, so he didn't attend, and asked Tong Lei to take Tong Jun over.

After being welcomed into the hall, a group of people immediately gathered around to greet him. Taking advantage of the gap between Tong Lei's responses, Tong Jun glanced at Yuan Tuo.

Yuan Tuo was standing next to Pei Yang, talking to an old man with him.Compared with Tong Jun's usual appearance, Yuan Tuo who was so easy-going made him feel a little strange.

Compared with his son, Pei Yang looks much more sluggish. It's his birthday, but the joyful expression on his face always has a hint of a smirk, which makes that handsome face look a bit sinister. stand up.

The reception was in the form of a self-help, Tong Jun finished dealing with all the polite people, and found a chance to sit on a sofa in the corner to hide quietly, when he heard two people talking quietly not far from him.

"Speaking of which, Boss Pei is also unlucky. When he was young, Mr. Pei was strong and controlled him to death. After finally waiting for Mr. Pei to delegate power, he was run over by his eldest son who brought him back. No wonder he Be cold-faced."

"Don't look at him as a young man, the young man is very scheming and cunning, he is a formidable young man."

The content of the conversation between the two was not unusual, Tong Jun listened quietly, but felt that it would be very interesting to put Yuan Tuo's name on anything, so he couldn't help laughing.

【……hehe. 】

Tong Jun said, "System?"

He hadn't gotten a response from the system in the past few days, and Tong Jun still missed that familiar sneer now.

【it's me.This system reminds the host, congratulations that you have opened an independent plot that is separate from the original work, and gradually get rid of the control of the original track, but the disadvantage is that the newly created plot cannot be unlocked, and you may encounter unknown risks, please be cautious to the host. 】

Hearing what the system said, Tong Jun felt relieved.

After experiencing the fire, he has been worried about whether the things that happened in the original book will happen again.

For example, Yuan Tuo's imprisonment, Tong Haisheng's bankruptcy, or the doomed fire at his home in reality, has he already passed the doom in this way?

The words of the system are equivalent to giving a reassurance.It doesn't matter even if you can't predict the future, whose life is not unknown?

Tong Juan said: "That's great. In fact, I wanted to ask you a few days ago, but I haven't heard back. Are you on a business trip?"

[This system is not on business, this system just doesn't want to talk to you. 】

Tong Jun: "Didn't you say that I was the best host you have ever brought?"

【...That's why!Honesty and trustworthiness are the basic virtues of the system. In order to encourage you to lie, this system needs to face the wall and reflect! 】

Tong Jun said: "Then you are so trustworthy, the educational film that was agreed before..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a large mosaic and various discordant voices flooded into his mind, and the system explained uncomfortably:

[At that time, the system did not see clearly the regulations. In order to protect the physical and mental health of the host, all educational films played to the host had their own mosaics. ...Let's make do with it. 】

Tong Jun couldn't help laughing, he didn't really want to see Long Aotian seven times a night, he just guessed that the Aojiao system was hiding from him and didn't dare to chat, he must have done something with a guilty conscience, and it really got tricked out up.

He deliberately said: "Then you are not easy to control, you don't count your words, I despise you."

【This system will definitely repay you tenfold! ! ! 】

After the system finished speaking, it pretended to be dead, and it didn't make a sound no matter how it called.

Tong Jun guessed that it must be bragging so much that he couldn't get off the stage, so he couldn't help but laugh, and brought a glass of cocktail to his lips.

Before the wine had time to drink, the glass was taken away by a hand behind him.

Tong Jun turned his head to look, and found that the fearsome young man whom others had just mentioned had come in front of him, holding his cocktail in his hand.

Tong Jun smiled and said, "What are you doing, isn't Eldest Young Master going to accompany the guests?"

Yuan Tuo said: "Anyway, Pei Yang is also worried when he looks at me. It's rare for him to celebrate his birthday today, so I'll let him go first."

He changed a glass of juice for Tong Jun, and said, "The alcohol prepared today is relatively high, so you should stop drinking it."

Tong Jun's drinking capacity is not very good, and Yuan Tuo would not stop him from doing what he likes to do normally, but when it comes to Pei's house, he is still a little worried.

It was the first time for Tong Jun to see someone relaxing outside in various ways, but he was suspicious and like a thief when he arrived at his own home, and he felt a little funny and sad at the same time.

He took the glass of juice and joked with Yuan Tuo: "What's the matter, you just became a boyfriend, and you plan to take care of him, and you won't even be allowed to drink alcohol?"

Yuan Tuo's heart was slightly disturbed by the word "boyfriend", and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, "Yes, we are in a relationship."

The air around him suddenly seemed to become thick and sweet, like mellow fruit wine in his hand.

He has never been in love before. After he didn't make his mind clear before, all he thinks about every day is how to confess his love. He only knows that after confessing, he can be together. .

After all, their relationship was already very close before this, so it always makes people feel a little unreal.

It seems that nothing has changed, and it seems that the whole feeling is different. Thinking about this incident, the whole person feels light and light, as if holding a hard-won treasure in his arms, but he doesn't know where to put it, how to put it. use.

Until they secretly sat together in a place where others could not see, and Tong Jun said the phrase "boyfriend", Yuan Tuo suddenly felt that his whole heart seemed to have fallen into reality, and a sense of happiness spontaneously arose.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand, and quietly took Tong Jun's hand.

The surroundings were full of feasting and feasting, people were already walking and chatting, and no one noticed that the two teenagers in the corner were quietly holding hands.

Tong Jun didn't move. After a while, he felt that Yuan Tuo changed his posture into interlocking fingers under the cover of the wine glass on the table.

Neither of them spoke, just sat quietly for a while, as if they were guarding a common secret.

Happiness that is so simple as to be a little silly can probably only bloom in the ardent youth.

Yuan Tuo gently stroked the back of Tong Jun's hand with his fingers, and said with a smile: "I used to work in a beverage store, and I could cook a lot of delicious food and make homemade drinks. When I go back, I will give whatever I want. you do."

Tong Jun smiled: "That's over, I don't seem to know anything, what can I do for you?"

Yuan Tuo was not a joking person, but whenever he faced Tong Jun, his mood was very relaxed.

Hearing this, he deliberately pretended to think about it, and Yuan Tuocai said: "Well, how about this, every time I finish cooking delicious food for you, you should praise me and say that you are awesome and delicious."

Both of them laughed, but immediately after, Yuan Tuo looked over Tong Juan's shoulder and saw the person walking towards this side.

His smile immediately disappeared from his face, and he changed into that indifferent look again.

Tong Jun noticed Yuan Tuo's abnormality, turned his head and saw Gao Qing walking towards this side, so Yuan Tuo immediately returned to the state of "no one should enter".

He is also indifferent to others, but he is especially so towards Gao Qing, just like guarding against thieves.

Tong Jun guessed in his heart that Yuan Tuo knew that Gao Qing was the heroine in a dream, so he had a strong sense of precaution. This model boyfriend and classmate took his morals very seriously, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.

Tong Jun didn't know that Yuan Tuo was so vigilant not because he was worried that Gao Qing would take a fancy to him, but because he was afraid that one day Tong Jun would leave the plot and turn against him because of Gao Qing.

Gao Qing also didn't want to see Yuan Tuo, and after coming over, she spoke to him concisely: "Where's your father?"

Yuan Tuo said: "I didn't notice, didn't you accompany the guests?"

As he spoke, he glanced back, and found that he and Tong Jun were tired of working hard in this small corner, and there were not as many guests in the hall who came to the reception as before.

This kind of reception is a free exchange and interaction after the birthday celebration of the host family at the beginning. If you are tired, you can rest in the room on the second floor, and there is no need to spend all your time in the lobby.

But it's a bit strange that Pei Yang, as today's protagonist, can't be found.

Tong Jun asked, "Where's Li Xinli?"

Gao Qing said: "I wanted to keep an eye on her, but people kept talking to me, so I didn't pay much attention. I just found out that Pei Yang and the others were not in the hall when I was free."

Yuan Tuo sent a WeChat message, and after a while, a young man came to the sofa and nodded at Yuan Tuo: "Master."

Yuan Tuo whispered, "Where's Li Xinli?"

The young man said: "You should be on the second floor now. I saw her talking to a man in denim shorts and sunglasses just now. Now that man is gone, we have someone to follow."

As he spoke, he called up a photo from his phone and showed it to Yuan Tuo.

Both Tong Jun and Gao Qing leaned over to take a look. The man in the photo and Li Xinli were standing on the other side of the stairs talking. If they didn't stare at it, it would be difficult for people to notice.

The man's body was slightly fatter, and he was wearing denim shorts and a white T-shirt. He looked out of place with the well-dressed guests in the hall, and he was definitely not invited to attend.

Yuan Tuo nodded, and the young man left.

Yuan Tuo said to Gao Qing: "Understood, I'll go and have a look."

Gao Qing just told them about this and inquired about useful information by the way. She didn't want others to see that she was too close to Yuan Tuo and Tong Jun. Seeing that Yuan Tuo knew a lot, she nodded and left.

Tong Jun said to Yuan Tuo, "Let's go to the second floor and have a look?"

Yuan Tuo hesitated, "Are you following?"

Tong Jun said: "I'll cover you up. You go upstairs by yourself. If someone bumps into you, it's hard to explain. I'll go with you. You can even say we're playing together."

That's true, after all, in the eyes of others, even if the relationship between Yuan Tuo and Tong Jun is good, it is far from being able to share family secrets together. With Tong Jun following, Yuan Tuo will not arouse suspicion if he wants to investigate anything. , Scared the snake.

Yuan Tuo pinched his face with a smile: "Then let's go."

Just now Yuan Tuo's assistant said that Li Xinli had gone up to the second floor, so Tong Jun and Yuan Tuo simply followed, ready to see what the other party had in mind.

The big lights on the ceiling were not turned on on the second floor, and colorful neon lights and shadows were reflected behind the walls on both sides of the corridor, and the light was dim and blurred.

Yuan Tuo and Tong Jun went upstairs. They didn't see Li Xinli, but they heard Pei Yang's voice from the other side of the corridor. Following the sound of footsteps at the same time, they got closer and closer.

Before Yuan Tuo had time to think about it, he directly took out his room card and swiped it on the door next to him, and pushed Tong Jun in. The door was half-open, leaving a small gap.

Tong Jun and Yuan Tuo lay beside the door together, and whispered, "Why is it so coincidental that this room is yours?"

"Unfortunately." Yuan Tuo said, "I have a spare room card for all the room cards on this floor."

"..." Tong Jun said sincerely, "You are awesome."

The sound insulation here is so good, the two of them opened the door a small crack, and only by leaning against the door can they vaguely hear the footsteps and voices in the corridor.

Yuan Tuo stood behind Tong Jun and had to support the wall with his hands, almost wrapping him in his arms.

I don't know why, Yuan Tuo has been having some very strange dreams these days, and there is also a violent mechanical voice urging him to read it quickly, and delete it completely.

Although I can't remember too much after waking up, but at times like this, it is inevitable that there will be some scattered images that should not appear in my mind.

Tong Jun always turned his head when talking to him, moving around like this made him feel like a little rabbit in his heart, frizzy.
