"I don't know, I've never heard of this name." Yan Shucheng said.

Cheng Jin and him looked at each other, probably because he was working and resting regularly in the prison. His eyes were bright, not red, not even bloodshot - he had a good rest these two days, at least he didn't get so excited all night because someone turned himself in. sleep.

Yang Simi said: "What are you looking at so intently? Are you looking at the picture?"

"..." Cheng Jin looked away and smiled, "I'm a little curious about what kind of person Mr. Yan is."

Yan Shucheng said, "I know a little physiognomy, but you shouldn't believe this."

Cheng Jin kept smiling: "I'm quite interested, can you tell me?"

"Which aspect do you want to hear?" Yan Shucheng asked.

"Marriage." Bu Huan interjected with a smile, "Our boss is too busy with work and has no time to find a partner. Please help him to see when his marriage will arrive."

Yan Shucheng looked at Bu Huan, and said after a while: "Based on your appearance, if this was ancient times, you would probably have many wives and concubines, but this is modern times, and you would probably get married many times."

Cheng Jin lowered his eyes and smiled.

Bu Huan said helplessly: "I didn't ask you to show me the picture, but I asked you to show it to our boss. And you miscalculated, I'm not very interested in getting married."

Yan Shucheng: "We'll have to wait until the end of this life to find out."

Bu Huan laughed: "This sentence is so versatile, I think I can also learn to read faces."

"Looking at the face is not difficult. It is all the experience summed up by the predecessors. Learning it is like learning other knowledge. It is not more difficult, but it requires more interest." Yan Shucheng said while looking at Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin was curious about what he could see, so he simply walked over and sat down opposite him, and the two of them looked at each other across the table.

Yang Simi walked up to Cheng Jin, dragged the chair next to him back about one meter, and sat down lazily.

Mu Ying raised her foot, as if she wanted to walk to the table, but in the end she just lingered for a few steps, but her eyes kept looking at Yan Shucheng.

Bu Huan took two steps back and leaned against the wall as if tired from standing.

The others didn't make much movement and stayed where they were.

"Your significant other has changed a lot." After a while, Yan Shucheng said.

"The other half?" Cheng Jin wondered why he avoided gender. Could it be that physiognomy has also advanced with the times?

"Well, that's how your face shows." Yan Shucheng said, "Your latest lover should have this kind of personality."

Bu Huan smiled: "The nearest?"

"I can't see what will happen in the future," Yan Shucheng said while looking at Cheng Jin. "Your face will change. You can find someone to show you what your next lover will be like after your face changes."

"He's talking nonsense," Mu Ying said, "whose personality doesn't change?"

"Some people are very changeable. Also, your significant other should be good-looking." Yan Shucheng said to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "Can you see that too?"

Yan Shucheng: "The other party is changeable, so you can't be too upright, otherwise the other party will find you boring and will look for more interesting partners."

"Thank you for the reminder." Cheng Jin's smile remained unchanged.

Yan Shucheng: "It's all the experience summed up by the predecessors, and it may not be completely accurate. Pick the letter that is useful to you."

"Look at me too?" Yang Simi said.

Yan Shucheng looked at him and said, "The other party is good in every way."

Cheng Jin laughed.

Yang Simi: "Aren't there any shortcomings?"

"..." Cheng Jin wanted to interrupt this metaphysics exchange.

"Maybe he will be a little stubborn—but it's not necessarily accurate." After emphasizing it cautiously, Yan Shucheng showed off his skills again, "A stubborn person is generally loyal and reliable, but if his inverse scales are touched, then he will It’s hard to overwhelm—”

Cheng Jin interrupted aloud: "The things summed up by physiognomy are too broad, like constellations. If anyone goes to analyze it, he will always be able to see a sentence or two that seems to correspond to his own situation."

Yan Shucheng: "The 12th house in the 12th house of face is indeed corresponding to the 12 constellations."

Cheng Jin smiled, ended the topic directly, and started a new topic: "Let's talk about the business, it is said that you have been complaining that you didn't kill Xiang Fang's mother and daughter?"

Probably because it was too sudden, Yan Shucheng looked away for a moment, but quickly said: "Yes, I didn't kill them."

"But you know them, have been to their house, and left bloodstains in their house?" Cheng Jin asked.

Yan Shucheng recalled: "Yes, Xiang Fang was a customer of my shop at that time, and she customized a pair of zodiac jade carvings for her and her daughter. He would call me and tell me that if he felt that he could not speak clearly on the phone, he would call me to her house. I have been to her house 3 times in total.

"As for the blood, I don't know what happened. At that time, the police told me that they found a tissue with my blood in Xiang Fang's house, but I never hurt my hand in Xiang Fang's house, let alone left it in her house. Put down the bloody tissue."

Mu Ying walked to the table and said, "But we found the tissue with your blood on the spot."

Yan Shucheng: "I think someone is framing me."

Mu Ying looked down at him impatiently: "Don't make excuses, we checked it back then, no one framed you."

Cheng Jin looked at Yan Shucheng: "Were you injured at that time?"

"Yes, I accidentally injured my hand while carving, but I only deal with the wound at home, and I have never left blood stains outside."

Cheng Jin looked at Yan Shucheng's hands on the table. His hands were in good condition. It seemed that he had been in prison for so many years, or it might be because he hadn't done too much heavy work in recent years.

"What was the situation in your family back then?" Cheng Jin asked.

"I was the only child back then, so my parents loved me and grew up, but after I was imprisoned, they gave birth to another one." Yan Shucheng said with a smile, "It should be, they also need someone to rely on."

He looked peaceful, probably people will really change after going through hardships, and now he is not at all like the "evil" young man Mu Ying described.

"Has anyone been to your house since you were injured and when the crime happened?"

Yan Shucheng: "I don't remember it. But I was obsessed with sculpture at the time, and I may have ignored the things around me."

"On the day of the incident, what did you go to Fang's house for?"

"Listen to her talk about her design inspiration." Yan Shucheng said, "Some people make things entirely up to you, while others hope that you will be his hands to make things for him. Xiang Fang is the latter."

"You're annoying her." Yang Simi interjected.

Disgust can be a motive for killing.

"..." Yan Shucheng sighed after a moment of silence, "No one likes her type of customers. She thinks of herself too much as a god, and she asks too much, and she wants you to be on call."

Cheng Jin: "But the price she offered should be high, right?"

"Yes, because I feel that I have spent more money than others, so I can use my energy."

"Why didn't you refund the order?" Xiao An asked.

"I took her deposit."

"Give it back to her."

"It's already been spent by me."

"Then you can borrow the money and return it to her."

"……Oh."

"He couldn't borrow money, and he didn't dare to ask his family for money." Mu Ying said, "At that time, he owed foreign debts, which angered his parents."

The scene photos of Xiang Fang's mother and daughter after the accident flashed through Cheng Jin's mind. The cabinet was searched, and the murderer took away the cash from the house. It happened that Yan Shucheng was short of money at the time, so he had another motive for killing.

"Why are you in debt?" Cheng Jin asked Yan Shucheng.

"I bought a piece of jade that I like very much."

Cheng Jin nodded and asked, "Are you still carving here?"

"Yes, I also opened a carving class, but I can't sculpt things all day long like before, and there is very little time to do it here." Yan Shucheng said sadly.

When it was almost time for lunch, Cheng Jin ended the conversation and let Yan Shucheng go back to eat.

Cheng Jin and the others also went to eat in the cafeteria where the prison guards ate.

The food in the cafeteria here tastes average. Mu Ying personally feels that it is far worse than the home-cooked food he ate last night. He thought Cheng Jin and the others would complain, but they didn't.

Cheng Jin: "Ask your colleague, have you found out the extent of your contact with Ma Liang 18 years ago?"

Mu Ying nodded and sent a message to her colleagues.

After a while, the colleague replied that they did not focus on investigating Ma Liang back then, so they regarded him as an ordinary citizen and let him go after a little questioning.

Mu Ying: "He had no criminal record at the time, so it was difficult to notice him. Unlike Yan Shucheng, the neighbors saw him go to Xiangfang's house with their own eyes."

Cheng Jin nodded.

After a while, a colleague sent a new message saying that Ma Liang now has a girlfriend.

Although divorced, Ma Liang is not alone, he is still accompanied.

Cheng Jin said, "Check out the details of his girlfriend."

After dinner, they went to chat with prison guards who knew Yan Shucheng well.

Now most of the people who come into contact with Yan Shucheng are new young prison guards. They have a good impression of Yan Shucheng. Yan Shucheng has a high level of education, and there will be no obstacles in communication, and he will not take the initiative to cause trouble. After all, he is already in prison. After staying here for so many years, generally speaking, no one would mess with an "old man" like him, which is more reassuring.

However, the former prison guards and the current prison leaders have a more comprehensive and three-dimensional impression of Yan Shucheng.

Yan Shucheng was a thorn in the first two years when he came here, he would fight back when others hit him, and he was often injured and locked up.

Later, it took a long time to gradually become more peaceful, but he did not accept his fate, and still complained, saying that he did not kill anyone.

"Does he have any good friends in prison?" Cheng Jin asked, "The kind with a particularly good relationship."

"There used to be a few."

However, there are people coming and going in the prison. Yan Shucheng's friends had shorter sentences than him, so they were all released from prison one after another.

Cheng Jin: "Please find out the personal information of those people."

The materials were brought over, and everyone began to look through them.

Yang Simi put his head on Cheng Jin's shoulder, causing Mu Ying and the prison leader to look at him, but they just looked away and looked away.

Cheng Jin: "Are any of these people proficient in metaphysics? ——The kind of fortune-telling by physiognomy."

"Yes, that person's name is Hua Jun."

"It's here with me." Ye Lai handed over the information in his hand to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin checked, Hua Jun has been out of prison for 5 years, his sentence is 14 years, one year earlier than Yan Shucheng, charged with attempted murder.

This person turned out to be a college teacher before he was imprisoned, and after he was imprisoned, he got along like a fish in water with his superb physiognomy and fortune-telling skills.

Of course, science is advocated against superstition in the prison, and Hua Jun has also made fortune-telling scientific, and he is very positive, always urging people to learn to be kind and positive. That's his number.

Bu Huan said with a smile: "There are very charismatic people everywhere."

"Why did he kill people?" Xiao An asked.

"It is said that he has a special interest in the relationship between men and women," said Ye Lai, who had read his profile just now. When I attacked a girl in the school, I went outside to find someone, and the victim was a sex worker, who was seriously injured by him and almost strangled to death by him."

Bu Huan shook his head: "Tsk, you are so perverted, you are a beast in clothes."

Xiao An also wrinkled her face in disgust.

Mu Ying: "No wonder he has a good relationship with Yan Shucheng, they are the same breed."

Cheng Jin focused on other points: "Since he behaved well in prison, why didn't his sentence be commuted?"

The prison leader hesitated for a moment and said, "Half a year."

"Why only half a year?" Cheng Jin asked.

As long as you seriously reform when you are in prison, you can usually get a reduced sentence, half a year is really nothing.

The leader of the prison said vaguely: "This is a decision from above."

Cheng Jin didn't ask any more questions, and continued to read the profiles of Yan Shucheng's friends in prison, asking some questions occasionally.

Yang Simi's head was tilted on Cheng Jin's shoulder, and his long eyelashes gradually drooped, like a bird folding its wings and falling asleep.

Cheng Jin pushed the finished documents aside, Xiao An began to scan them, and Ye Lai and Bu Huan helped her turn the pages.

"Yan Shucheng's lawyer, Zhao Leyu, is familiar with your prison?" Cheng Jin asked.

Mu Ying asked acquaintances last night, no one knew if Zhao Leyu was on the prison side, but everyone said he had a good relationship with the prison.

Prison leader: "Lawyer Zhao likes to do public welfare very much. Our prison needs a dedicated legal professional like him."

Cheng Jin looked at Mu Ying.

Mu Ying, who had previously judged the other party's reputation greed in front of Cheng Jin, said, "He just wants to make a good name for himself."

The leader of the prison said with a smile: "We hope that more people who like fame will come to work here."

Mu Ying was speechless.

Cheng Jin: "How did Zhao Leyu and Yan Shucheng get to know each other?"

"I should have met in a law education course. Lawyer Zhao believes that Yan Shucheng is innocent, so he wants to help him reverse the case. Of course, it is definitely not doing public welfare, but charging lawyer fees."

Cheng Jin nodded: "Take out the video of their meeting and let me watch it."

Zhao Leyu became Yan Shucheng's lawyer six years ago. During the six years, he came to the prison to see Yan Shucheng at least once a month, but there was no progress until Ma Liang came out.

In the video, Zhao Leyu and Yan Shucheng sat at a small table chatting. Zhao Leyu told Yan Shucheng about the progress of the case reversal, and also told him about his family's situation, and occasionally chatted for a while.

The most recent video was from the day before yesterday. Zhao Leyu learned that someone had turned himself in, and came to tell Yan Shucheng. Yan Shucheng was in disbelief at first, then became agitated, and asked Zhao Leyu when he would be released from prison.

Zhao Leyu told him that it depends on the situation, if it is slow, it may take another year or two.

Yan Shucheng's excitement subsided.

Bu Huan: "It shouldn't happen in a year or two. Isn't Ma Liang terminally ill?"

Han Bin: "The survival period of most patients with advanced liver cancer is 3 to 6 months, but there are also as long as 1 to 5 years, depending on the specific situation of the patient."

"Ma Liang has no money." Yang Simi said.He changed his position, but still leaned on Cheng Jin, but now he opened his eyes.

Mu Ying looked at him, this man was amazing, he felt that Cheng Jin was particularly pampering him, and the others gave in to him, or used to him, not knowing who he was.

Han Bin nodded: "Yes, he has no money, and the government will only give him conservative treatment, so his survival period should be about half a year."

The prison leader also nodded slightly.The same is true for prisons. The government pays for conservative treatment. If you want to go to a better hospital and get better treatment, you have to pay for it yourself.

Bu Huan: "If Yan Shucheng didn't kill anyone, he can come out in half a year at most, which is fine."

Xiaoan was puzzled: "Where are we, it will take half a year? We should be able to figure this out in a few days, and then they will go through the process for half a year? Is the efficiency here so low?"

Mu Yinghe prison leader: "..."

What they say doesn't count, so both of them are silent.Besides, Mu Ying thought that Yan Shucheng was the real culprit, and didn't think he would get a chance to go through the process.

It was already 6 o'clock when I came out of the prison, mainly because it took a long time to watch the video.

"Brother Mu, what shall we have for dinner tonight?" Bu Huan asked.

Mu Ying: "There is a good seafood shop here, do you want to try it?"

Um?Everyone looked at him, suspecting that he was educated last night.

"Come on, this is not a coastal area, so the seafood here is so delicious." Xiao An objected.

"And it's too expensive, we don't have that budget." Ye Lai said, "Let's find another one."

"Then, beef hot pot?" Mu Ying suggested again.

"What kind of delicious beef hot pot can you have here? It's not a chain store." Bu Huan said with a smile, "Change to another."

Mu Ying smiled, and said in a self-defeating way: "Then what do you want to eat?"

"Just your local stores that are more distinctive and generally have better reviews."

Mu Ying: "What about those two stores yesterday?"

The business of those two stores was pretty good yesterday, especially the one at night, the shed was noisy with people coming and going, and there was a big table of people when they came.At noon, many people bought the stewed vegetables and took them away directly, and there were not many people staying in the store.

"sure."

Mu Ying then gave everyone some choices: "There is a good shop that specializes in wontons; there is another shop that makes good beef noodles, the beef is particularly large, and the portion of noodles is also sufficient; there is also a shop that is famous for soup, but it is not good. The taste is relatively light; we also have bean curd rice here, which is healthy and cheap, and the taste is decent. It is also an old shop that has been open for many years; there is also a meat pie shop, with a lot of meat, and the business is very good. It is best to eat in the morning, and you can also eat it at other times Eat, when you are busy, two meatloaf will fill you up completely."

Everyone discussed it and felt that the bean curd rice is the most distinctive, why not try it.

Bu Huan: "I have eaten that, it is very vegetarian, but healthy is quite healthy."

"Try it, if it's not good, we can eat something else, such as wonton or meat pie." Xiao An said.

Finally decided to eat tofu rice.

After dinner was settled, Cheng Jin turned the topic back to the case: "Brother Mu, how do you feel seeing Yan Shucheng again?"

"I think he is much more sophisticated than before, and he can hide his thoughts better," Mu Ying said, "Prison is a place where people can be trained."

"You still think he killed the man?"

Mu Ying said without hesitation: "Yes."

Cheng Jin looked at him, then turned to ask the people around him, "What do you think, Si Mi?"

Yang Simi: "What is your Nilin?"

"..." Cheng Jin said, "I think his metaphysics is deceptive, so I can't believe it."

"Hmm. So what is your reverse scale?"

Cheng Jin: "...I don't know, what do you think?"

Bu Huan and the others thought to themselves, hey, can they also ask back when asked this kind of question?

Indeed, Yang Simi didn't ask Cheng Jin any more after that, as if acquiescing that he knew him better than Cheng Jin, but he didn't tell Cheng Jin the answer.

The tofu shop has arrived.

This shop is not a small shop, it is quite big, and there are a lot of customers. Looking at the price, it is very affordable, and it is said that the bean curd and rice can be refilled for free.

Douhua is a large bowl of unseasoned bean curd and boiled bean sprouts, but it will be served with a plate of red oil dipped in water.The rice is multigrain rice, rough but healthy.

Beancurd and rice are standard, and there are also stewed vegetables in the store. Cheng Jin and the others ordered several stewed vegetables platters.

Bu Huan shook his head: "It's rice with mixed grains. I used to eat normal rice."

"This bean curd can be picked up." Xiaoan picked up a piece of bean curd and put it in the dipping water. After dyeing it, he picked it up and ate it.

Ye Lai: "Douhua can be picked up, but tofu nao can't be picked up."

"Oh?"

"Soymilk, tofu nao, tofu curd, and finally tofu, gradually solidified."

"And dried tofu!"

"Yes."

The bean curd rice is okay, but the bean curd rice feels full, and the multigrain rice can only eat a bowl at most.

After this meal, everyone felt that they could eat something else.

"Shall we go buy meatloaf?" Xiao An suggested.

"Okay."

Mu Ying looked at the time and said, "I wonder if the store is still open?"

"Ok?"

"The store closes early."

"Oh, then we have to hurry."

The meat pie shop also opened in an alley, the car parked at the entrance of the alley, Xiaoan took the lead and rushed into the alley.

"Boss, do you still have meatloaf?"

"It's gone, it's sold out." The boss and the helper were packing things in the store, and it seemed that they were about to close the store.

Cheng Jin, who was lagging behind, stopped.

If it's sold out, you can only come back later.

Everyone returns to the car.

Xiao An: "I'll definitely be hungry later."

Bu Huan: "Let's order takeaway then."

"Let's not go back to the Public Security Bureau, let's go to Yan Shucheng's house." Cheng Jin said, "Please contact me, it's inconvenient to ask."

Mu Ying was about to respond when Ye Lai said first, "Okay."

Ye Lai has basically passed all the materials.
