Lin Jianqiu froze for a moment.

Li Chengxin's serious attitude surprised him a little, and it didn't sound like he was questioning, but rather like he wanted to help him.

As a reporter, she is better than average at dealing with such rumors.

But the premise is to find out the truth first,? In order to prescribe the right medicine.

"Will you believe me when I tell you?" Lin Jianqiu smiled, "If all the murderers in the world were so honest, maybe the police wouldn't be needed at all."

"If you dare to say it, I will believe it."

"..."

Lin Jianqiu was really surprised: "Isn't it the nature of reporters to pursue the truth?"

"Aren't I?" Li Chengxin asked back.

"You think I won't lie?" Lin Jianqiu raised his eyebrows.

"No,? I just don't think you're the type to tolerate crime."

"Even if it's yourself."

"Sister Chengxin thinks too highly of me." Lin Jianqiu didn't want to continue entanglement on this issue, and replied directly, "As for those comments,? To be honest, I don't know if they are true or not."

Including the original owner may not be clear.

Whether it is in the memory of the original owner,? or in the plot, there is no relevant antecedent.

"A few years ago when my parents went bankrupt, I was still abroad. When they came back, they had committed suicide by jumping off the building. All their assets were mortgaged to the bank to pay off their debts, but there were still tens of millions of debts left."

Li Cheng was stunned: "So...you followed Ye Linyun to pay off the debt?"

Lin Jianqiu: "...it's part of the reason."

In fact, it is more about the status and reputation of the other party.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have followed Ye Linyun for several years. Not only did he not pay off the debt, but he also paid it upside down.

At that time, the original owner was still young after all, and he was spoiled and raised by his family. Compared with the lack of money, the gap in status was more unbearable for him.

But his parents had passed away, and he had nothing else to rely on. It happened that Ye Linyun offered an olive branch, and he grabbed it without hesitation.

But there is no need to tell Li Chengxin this.

Although the original owner was a bit vain, he didn't really intend to deny those debts, and he had been paying off the debts intermittently over the years when he had more money.

"When I was still abroad, my parents were already struggling. The people who borrowed money were all friends of my parents. They were willing to lend because of their good relationship and trust. I can’t deny the love of those who survived with that money.”

This is also the idea of ​​the original owner.

It's just that when following Ye Linyun, the creditor didn't urge him because of the Ye family's face, and the original owner didn't have the slightest sense of urgency.

When Lin Jianqiu crossed over and lost his backer, those bad-tempered creditors frequently called and threatened him to pay off the debt quickly.

When the Lin family was not bankrupt, the money might only be worth one or two flats in his family, but for Lin Jianqiu, who is now poor and destitute, it is tantamount to an astronomical figure.

Of course, those debts have nothing to do with Lin Jianqiu now.

But after all, he is carrying the same shell, so he has the chance to continue to live, and those debts will naturally be inherited together.

And those creditors don't care whether he traveled through time or not.

"However, there are not a few people in this world who die because of lack of money. They have no money for medical treatment, hope is shattered, and their dignity is lacking, so they choose to commit suicide... If it is because of the lack of money that was borrowed and not repaid, at least I have no right Stop him from saying that."

Lin Jianqiu paused, and then continued: "However, at least in my eyes, my parents are not the kind of people who would kill and set fire to force people to die."

Even if there was, it would have been picked up long ago.

The matter of the Lin family is not a secret. If you have the heart, you can still find the news relics from that year.

Li Chengxin did not doubt Lin Jianqiu's words.

"That's what I said, but you can't let those rumors continue to spread." Li Chengxin reminded, "If you still want to continue investigating the case."

"Ok?"

"I'll be honest, in this situation, unless you have your former fans, most of the police will not have a good impression of you. Once you get involved with criminals and add pressure from public opinion, they will only treat you Be even more respectful."

"Unless you have a talent that is so outstanding that they can completely ignore public opinion, but that's at least a matter of the future." "Also, you have to know that there is a world of difference between criminals and those stars with black spots."

At that time, not to mention repaying debts, it may be a hundred times more difficult to survive than it is now.

Since the behind-the-scenes pusher pushed the rumors on this aspect, it was obvious that he wanted to kill Lin Jianqiu directly so that he could never turn over again.

It is also easily foreseeable to make up the knife after the rumors spread.

Whitewashing is a hundred times, a thousand times more difficult than spreading rumors, and it may not be effective.

Lin Jianqiu is not really ignorant of this truth.

If he could, he didn't want to wait for a steady stream of malice and supercilious looks with a lot of black material and notoriety, and cause himself a lot of trouble for nothing.

He's not a masochist.

It's just that there's nothing he can do, he has no power, power or connections, and he's trying to survive in the cracks, so naturally he doesn't care about his reputation.

"I remember that your friend seemed to say that you want to be a writer in the future? If you don't solve those hidden dangers, even if you do write a masterpiece in the future, you will be resisted and you will be strangled in the bud."

Li Chengxin almost pasted the words "You are finished" on his forehead.

Lin Jianqiu subconsciously sat up straight, and asked helplessly, "What does Sister Chengxin want me to do for you?"

"If you can solve this case in Kaiyun Community, I can give you an exclusive interview."

"Provide key clues to the police, as long as the person concerned agrees, you can be publicly thanked, and this is not the first time for you."

"I can ask a friend to help you suppress the comments over there first. When the case is over, I will make an interview and make the case public. It will not be that simple for them to want to touch you."

Once the reputation is reversed, the cost of spreading rumors and causing trouble under the noses of the police will be much higher.

Anyone with a little sense will first weigh whether it is worth it.

Even if the black hand behind the scenes insists on going his own way, at least it will not present a one-sided situation, making Lin Jianqiu helpless to fight back.

"Anyway, even if I don't say anything, you can't ignore this case. As for my request——"

Li Cheng paused, as if he still hesitated.

But finally made up his mind.

"When the matter here is over, I want you to help me investigate a case."

Lin Jianqiu got off the car on the side of the road.

"See Brother Qiu!" A crisp child's voice sounded from behind.

Lin Jianqiu was stunned for a moment, and just as he turned his head, he saw Nan Nan rushing towards him and threw herself into his arms.

He subconsciously hugged the overexcited child.

When he looked up again, he saw Big Beard and Zhong Xinyue standing not far away.

The bearded man looked at the sky and the ground, his face was hidden by his beard, but Zhong Xinyue next to him blushed slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Good evening. I just have a rest today." She explained a few words, "I took Nannan out to play, and I didn't expect to meet Xiaolu."

Lin Jianqiu couldn't help but smile.

"It's really just a chance encounter!" The bearded man blushed and emphasized with bluff.

"Yeah, I met by chance, by chance." Lin Jianqiu nodded perfunctorily.

Obviously didn't believe it.

"..." The bearded man became angry.

But he was also a little emboldened.

During this period of time, he still lived with Lin Jianqiu, because the guitar was burned, and his plan to continue wandering and singing in other cities was put on hold for the time being.

In order to subsidize his family and save travel expenses, he went to a nearby bar to sing and do odd jobs during the day.

——That's what he said, but in fact, only he himself knows whether he has other selfish intentions.

After the film and television city case was over, Zhong Xinyue went back to work.

Although a part of the crew felt that it was unlucky for her to be involved in a murder case, and they were afraid of trouble and were unwilling to accept it, but some people considered her experience and took it as a kind of capital instead.

There is a crew that just lacks an important supporting role, which is the crazy mother who watched the child die in front of her.

Zhong Xinyue took over the role.

But during this period, she no longer took her daughter to the set.

This job is a bit difficult for her, and she has been in a trance recently because of it, but for the sake of life, for her past abandonment and persistence, she still gritted her teeth and endured it.

She doesn't have many friends in Yuncheng, and the few who are able to talk to her are struggling with life, and they only care about work on weekdays, and they don't have the energy to listen to her grievances.

It was not easy for anyone, and she was too embarrassed to disturb them, so the bitterness could only be swallowed in her own stomach.

Earlier, when she came home at night, she walked towards the road in a trance, and was almost hit by a car.

Fortunately, the bearded man ran into her on his way to work and pulled her back in time.

They've been in touch on and off since then.

The bearded man can understand Zhong Xinyue's difficulties very well, and he also takes the initiative to help take care of Nan Nan and take her out to play in his free time.

Nan Nan was originally also affected by her mother's emotions, but later she was taken around by the bearded man, but she slowly regained her spirits.

Therefore, Zhong Xinyue has always been very grateful to him.

Although it was indeed a chance encounter at night, she took the initiative to invite the bearded man to dinner, and took Nan Nan to a nearby shopping mall after the meal.

Going this way is also on the way, but I didn't expect to bump into Lin Jianqiu.

Different from the hidden embarrassment of the adults, Nan Nan was only excited when she saw Lin Jianqiu.

Compared to "Xinhuan" Uncle Beard, Lin Jianqiu is still her "white moonlight".

Recently, Lin Jianqiu left early and returned late. She hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Brother Jianqiu, what have you been up to lately?" Nan Nan grabbed Lin Jianqiu's clothes, raised her head, and asked him curiously.

The bearded man tried his best to wink at Lin Jianqiu - don't pierce the children's filters and fantasies, set a positive example for them.

Lin Jianqiu was in a daze for a moment, then smiled and patted Nan Nan's head: "Help someone walk their dog."

The bearded man: "..." Should he be glad that he didn't just say that he walks the dog for the rich woman?

Turning to look at Nan Nan again, she saw that not only did she not feel disillusioned, but her eyes lit up.

"Walking the dog? Is it a big dog or a small dog? Is it white? Is the dog cute? Is it obedient? Will it bite? Can I also help people walk their dogs in the future? If possible, next time I will Compositions about ideals in life should also be written about this!"

"Cough, cough, cough." The bearded man coughed forcefully, trying to bring the child back to the right path, "When you grow up, you can raise a dog by yourself. It's better to set your ideals in life a little higher, like being a scientist. , Entrepreneurs, or teachers, doctors, etc. are also good."

"That's boring..." Nan Nan pouted and muttered softly, "Everyone wants to do that, I don't want to be like others."

As she spoke, she raised her head and stared at Lin Jianqiu eagerly, trying to seek approval.

"See Brother Qiu, is it okay?"

Lin Jianqiu squatted down in front of her, pressed her head with his palm, and slowly rubbed it twice, his expression softened, so gentle that it was unbelievable, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious and solemn.

"of course can."

"When you grow up, you can do whatever you want."

"so……"

You must grow up peacefully.

Lin Jianqiu swallowed the latter words back.

It's really great that Nan Nan is safe and sound.

After a long time, he once again thought so sincerely.

When the few people over there were making a fuss, the taxi that Li Chengxin was in had quietly driven away.

The intersection ahead is a red light, and the driver slows down.

When Li Chengxin turned his head through the car window, he could still see Lin Jianqiu and his friends.

The red light jumped and the driver started to move.

The last thing Li Chengxin saw was Lin Jianqiu squatting down and talking to the little girl.

The distance was already far away, so I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

But Li Chengxin could imagine it.

After looking at Dai Li'an's body, and seeing Nan Nan who escaped from the dead, everyone would feel embarrassed.

There are also fears and joys.

For some reason, Lin Jianqiu's cold expression when he was in the underground garage suddenly appeared in Li Chengxin's mind.

It was the exact opposite of when I saw Nan Nan.

Looking at how gentle Nan Nan is, how suppressed and angry she was when she saw the corpse.

He wasn't alone with one particular person.

He loathed death itself.

Such a person, at least, will never be a bad person.

and so……

You should still be able to believe it a little bit.

Li Chengxin's hand gripped the bag tightly and then loosened. Finally, she looked away and found a photo from the middle layer of the bag.

She stared at the photo for a long time.

The street lights outside the car were bright and dim, illuminating her expression in a dim light.

When he reached the last intersection, Li Chengxin closed his eyes, and then tore the photo to pieces bit by bit.
