Chapter 52 Pei Yan's Absence

Hope University Auditorium.

Amidst the passionate opening music, the host announced that the second round of the "four into two" debate competition is now starting.

The auditorium was still overcrowded. There were even more people watching the game than in the first game. There were no seats left. Many students who came a little later had no place to sit, so they had no choice but to go back to the dormitory to watch the live broadcast.

The success of the debate exceeded everyone's expectations. The wonderful confrontation between top students from prestigious schools attracted the attention of the entire league, and even set off a wave of debates in the league. Many small schools are preparing to open with reference to the model of Hope University respective debates.

Different from the last time, Rong Xin's group got the second round this time, and they are waiting in the backstage.The group members have been reshuffled and changed a group of people, but it may be due to fate, Zhang Ailun and him are in another group, and there are one from Soros University and one from York University.

"Brother Rong! Let me rub your fairy spirit." Zhang Ailun leaned over and bowed to Rong Xin, his posture was like a little Maitreya Buddha.

Rong Xin thought his appearance was funny, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "You don't need to rub my fairy spirit, you are also very strong."

"Oh, no, it's far worse than you." After the previous competitions and recent contact, Zhang Ailun has become very familiar with Rong Xin. Although he speaks modestly, he heard Rong Xin's affirmation, The nervousness was still relieved a lot.

"Why didn't Brother Pei come backstage to give you a cheering hug today?" Zhang Ailun relaxed and said jokingly to Rong Xinle.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. The smile on Rong Xin's face faded calmly, and within a few seconds it became expressionless, like an exquisite and beautiful marble statue, exuding Bitter chill.

"Rong...Brother Rong?" Zhang Ailun felt as if he had made a mistake, and was so frightened by his terrifying aura that he didn't dare to breathe, "What's wrong, Brother Rong?"

in argument?

No, it wasn't like glue last week, it's only been a week!

"I can win without his cheering and hugging." Rong Xin raised his eyes coldly, his sharp eyes were like sharp swords with a cold light.

The innocent Zhang Ailun was inexplicably involved in the emotional dispute, and he could only nod his head repeatedly because of the pain in his heart. Taking advantage of Rong Xin's inattention, he obediently shut up and slipped away.

It's not that Pei Yan didn't come backstage today, but he didn't come to the venue.

In fact, the process of the competition has been perfected. He came here to guide the members of the student union to control the rhythm of the competition and play a role in shaking the field. Today is the second round of the promotion competition, and the field affairs have been familiarized once and twice. His presence or absence doesn't matter much.

Pei Yan spent this time in the East District Police Station.

"Why are you still looking at the case in City B?" Qi Yiming gnawed on the bread and passed by Pei Yan, "This case has been closed for three years."

Pei Yan raised his head from a table of files, tapped the words "acquitted" on it with his knuckles, and looked a little cold: "There is evidence, but he was acquitted, don't you think the sentence is a bit hasty?"

He has been running to the police station for several days, and he didn't eat very well. His brows were twisted into a thick black pimple, which lay across his handsome and stiff face, making his eyes darker and darker.

Qi Yiming helplessly threw the bread on his desk and turned around: "You also saw that there was evidence at the beginning, but then the evidence room caught fire and burned, and all the physical evidence was burned to ashes. Said that Zhao Yuanqi was lucky and escaped unharmed."

Is it really fate?Pei Yan's eyes darkened slightly.

The evidence room is maintained by a special person all the year round, and a key card is required for entry and exit. I know that all the important evidence is placed in it, and the fire prevention measures have always been very complete. The jerk's skirt is completely burnt?

This is also too coincidental.

Coincidentally as if on purpose.

"That girl is really pitiful. If you ask me, Zhao Yuanqi should spend a few years in prison." Qi Yiming sat down next to Pei Yan and picked up the file in his hand. Think about it. A power strip in the evidence room was broken, causing spontaneous combustion, and immediately set a stack of documents on the shelf next to it on fire. At that time, Lao Wang, who was in charge of the evidence room, happened to go to the toilet. When he came back, the whole room was lit It was burning with black smoke, and the fire spread very quickly, and by the time the fire brigade rushed over to put it out, there was nothing left inside."

"Yes, yes, yes." Peng Rui, who was sitting on the side, raised his head from his desk when he heard them say this: "I remember that the fire in the evidence room was made into a case, and the annual fire safety lecture It will be mentioned from time to time, and it is because of the fire that new regulations have been established, so that future power strips and electrical appliances must pass a higher level of quality inspection."

Pei Yan shook the pages of the dossier, and asked, "The old Wang who is in charge of the evidence room didn't smell smoke in the toilet, and he didn't come out to take a look in the toilet since the fire was so big outside?"

"He said he was smoking in the toilet." Peng Rui recalled the previous fire safety lecture, "I couldn't distinguish the smell of smoke."

"How old is Old Wang?" Pei Yan asked suddenly.

Peng Rui: "More than 50, why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Wouldn't a person in his 50s just start learning to smoke? As an old smoker, can he not distinguish between the smell of tobacco smoke and the smell of fire?" Pei Yan's voice seemed to be immersed in ice water.

Qi Yiming and Peng Rui were stunned at the same time. At that time, the problem with the plug board was found out as soon as they were checked. Everyone believed it was an accident. Asking Lao Wang was just a routine, and no one thought about it at all. But after Pei Yan With that said, both of them realized that something was wrong.

"You mean that Lao Wang already knew about the fire?" Qi Yiming said in shock, "Then why didn't he call the fire department immediately?"

Yeah, why?

The bizarre fire, the evidence of disappearance... Pei Yan's heart sank little by little, and his eyes fell on the files spread out on the table.

The black-and-white dossier looks like every word is clear and compliant, but if you study it carefully, you can find countless small flaws inside, like a dark wormhole. If you look down the hole, the bottom is bottomless The thick black void swallowed up the truth.

Was the fire that was too coincidental really an accident, or was it a drama manipulated by the guilty to avoid guilt?

In the police station, which represents justice and the rule of law, and in the dossier that should have recorded the truth, Pei Yan felt confused and suspicious for the first time, but a thick fog seeped out between the lines. Being slightly shaken, there was a roaring muffled sound in his ears, and it hit his heart heavily.

In the process of flipping through the files, Pei Yan realized that Rong Xin actually tried to use legal means to get revenge. The skirt ties that were thrown away by Rong Qiu and the thick pleadings were all his efforts. past evidence.

Rong Xin is looking forward to the pain and anger of the death of his relatives, hoping that the victim will pay the price and the soul of the deceased will be comforted.

However, a sudden fire wiped out all the evidence, as if it never happened.

When he saw Zhao Yuanqi walking out of the gate of the court safe and sound with a smile on his face, what kind of mood did Rong Xin feel.

Pei Yan put down the file, let out a long breath, and rubbed his face.

Deafening applause sounded, and the first round of the competition was over. Zhou Yue's team stood proudly on the stage, and got a chance to advance amidst the cheers of everyone.

"Zhou Yue is awesome! Soros University really lives up to its reputation!"

The audience in the audience watched heartily and were full of praise for the game just now.

"Zhou Yue's debating style is also the kind of vicious one that doesn't give the opponent a chance to fight back. It's a pity that he didn't meet Rong Xin this round, otherwise it must be a big show!"

"Ham, it's good if they don't match up, otherwise one of them will be eliminated, and I can't bear to eliminate anyone."

"Hey! The players from the second round are on the field, and I saw Rong Xin!"

"Fuck, Brother Rong is so handsome, give me CPR, I'm dying!"

Rong Xin is still wearing a neat suit and tie today. I don't know why he looks even colder and sharper than the previous one. His handsome face is like white snow, but his jet-black peach eyes seem to contain deep black lake water. It seems that the soul will be shaken to the deepest part of my heart by that cold beauty.

He walked up to the debate seat, Zhou Yue passed by him, seemed to glance at him, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Rong Xin frowned, he was in a bad mood today, Zhou Yue's smile made him uncomfortable, he just wanted to throw him over his shoulder to the ground.

Xia Luosheng was on the team with Zhou Yue this time, and she also walked past Rong Xin, smiled at him and said in a low voice, "Brother Rong, come on."

The hostility in Rong Xin's eyes faded slightly, he said thank you in a low voice, and walked to his seat.

This time the topic of the debate is "Is money the root of all evil".

Under the introduction of the host, all the contestants bowed deeply to each other, and then sat down.The audience was silent, and countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the pros and cons on the stage, waiting excitedly for the host to say the word "start".

Rong Xin withdrew his restless thoughts and focused on the debate.Today's topic is not difficult, but it is very socially meaningful. It is the kind of topic that can resonate with most people in the social class. I have to say that Pei Yan chose the topic very cleverly. The topic of the first session is better than novelty. The topic of the second round was profound. Pei Yan clearly knew how to catch the public's attention. He was always so purposeful and efficient in his work.

Why did I think of him again.

Obviously because of the retirement, he would get angry whenever he thinks about it, but his figure always pops up in his mind involuntarily.

The arc of Rong Xin's face was tense, and finally he couldn't help but glanced at the audience.

Pei Yan was not there.

In the second row where Pei Yan was last time, a strange female classmate was sitting. When she met his gaze, she was startled, blushed instantly, and looked at him helplessly.

Why don't you come, are you sulking?

Rong Xin suppressed the emotions in his eyes, only to hear the host shout excitedly: "I announce that the second match has officially started!" Applause erupted immediately.

This time, the Rong Xin group spoke first, and Zhang Ailun took the lead.With the experience of the first scene, Zhang Ailun played very steadily. From the very beginning, he compared money to a golden chain with a glib tongue. From three aspects, he explained the distortion of today's society that regards money as the purpose.

The opponent’s theory of breaking the topic did not show weakness, saying that money is only an inevitable product of the development of the times and an indispensable medium of exchange in life. Money itself is not the evil of all evils, but people’s behavior is the evil.

This was another wonderful debate. Sparks flew out when the arguments came up. The opponent's level of debate was very high. Rong Xin entered the state and quickly memorized the notes.

When he takes debating notes, the way he takes notes in class is exactly the same. At first glance, it looks like a ghostly letter with a chic font. The key points and flaws in the other party's words are clear and logical, which is very easy to use.

This time he was placed in the position of the fourth debate. This position is the most difficult position, because it is necessary to summarize the views of his teammates before sublimation, and to refute all the logical mistakes of the opponent, which requires a very large and clear logical construction. and powerful eloquence.More importantly, the position of the finale of the four debates is destined to make him stand out and leave the deepest impression on the audience. Although every debater in the front is very important, the existence of the four debates determines whether the entire group can win. The essential.

Rong Xin has no pressure on the position of Sibian, but the only unexpected factor today is that he is always distracted, and every 2 minutes he will subconsciously check whether Pei Yan is here, and the girl sitting in that seat is blushed by him. The one almost smoked, probably because of a misunderstanding.

Seeing that the debate has reached the second stage, Rong Xin has already recorded one-third of his notes. The opponent's second argument is obviously not as strong as the first argument. Rong Xin has already guessed the entire logic chain behind him after listening to him say a few words , Put down the pen after memorizing it, pause for a while and take a breath.

Pei Yan still didn't come.

The girl finally couldn't stand being looked at by him, covered her flushed face, stood up shyly and ran from the back door.

Rong Xin's face was so cold that it could almost freeze, and his fingers clenched tightly.

Love will not come.he thinks.

Small-minded bastard.

Whoever looks at that seat again is the grandson.

Rong Xin snorted silently, making the opposite party tremble with fright.

Rong Xin ignored him, picked up the thermos cup on the table and took a few sips, swallowed all the anger in his heart with water, and prepared to devote himself to the competition.

However, suddenly, his expression changed, his hand holding the thermos cup tightened instantly, and his pupils shrank suddenly to a point the size of a pinpoint—the water he just drank had a strong smell of fresh milk!
