ruffian detective

Facing Shen Yan's question, Lu Chen paused for a while before continuing.

Lu Chen put down the teapot, picked up the teacup and replied unhurriedly, "Let's count it as half."

Shen Yan glanced at Lu Chen in surprise, and asked in surprise, "Why do you say half? Is it because Brother Lu's parents are locals?"

The relationship between Lu Chen and Jin Chen should not be outside of Province A. Even if Lu Chen can't find any traces in Province A, it doesn't mean that Lu Chen is really not from Province A.

If some information can be obtained in this regard, Qi Yue should be able to follow the clues and find some useful information.

Lu Chen put down his teacup, and looked at Shen Yan with a look of inquiry in his eyes.

This made Shen Yan feel a little vigilant in his heart.

However, Lu Chen just refilled himself another cup of tea, and asked with great interest, "Why do you care about me so much all of a sudden? Are you looking at another painting?"

Lu Chen's answer like this made Shen Yan know that it would be frightening, and that this topic might not be able to continue to be asked, and it might even affect his plan to find a breakthrough from Lu Chen in the future.

Feeling turbulent, Shen Yan's expression became a little weird, and then he seemed to realize what Lu Chen meant.He followed Lu Chen's words, and jokingly replied: "Brother Lu, is this a distressed painting?"

As soon as Shen Yan finished speaking, the door of the private room was knocked again, and Lu Chen's order arrived.

More than a dozen dishes were placed on the table one after another, and the whole table seemed a little big.

The conversation was interrupted, but the two of them did not mention it in a tacit understanding.

Shen Yan focused his attention on the dishes, and only after he glanced over did he realize that Lu Chen had ignored the problem when he ordered the dishes before.

Among the fourteen dishes, there are actually five dishes in Shen Yan's taste. If it is said that it is Zhan Feng who is beside Shen Yan, it may be reasonable.

However, these dishes were all ordered by Lu Chen, who had only met twice, so there was no way to hide it.

Coincidentally, the guess made Shen Yanlian think of the first time he met Lu Chen, Lu Chen ordered latte and well-done steak for him without hesitation.

Western food can also be said to be Lu Chen's excessive attention to Shen Yan abroad, but how to explain it this time?

Shen Yan was almost sure that Lu Chen must know something about that matter, and it was not just as simple as knowing him.

Lu Chen didn't know what was going on in Shen Yan's mind, but he just said, "Try it quickly, I always order these. I don't know if you are used to it, but the chef in this restaurant has been cooking Cantonese food for at least ten years. , there is still a bit of heat."

Lu Chen suddenly interrupted Shen Yan's judgment and even served him a bowl of soup.

"Thank you, Brother Lu." Shen Yan arrived at Xie, took a sip of the soup, but felt mixed feelings in his heart.

There is almost only one step away from the truth that Shen Yan has always wanted to find out, but he can't act rashly at this moment.

This even brought deeper doubts. If Lu Chen was related to that incident, what about Jin Chen?

Shen Yan couldn't help thinking, assuming that what Jin Chen and Lu Chen said was indeed wrong.What did he mean by the past?If it's about me, why didn't you tell me?Even warned me to stay away from Lu Chen?

Jin Chen... is he really a gangster?

Seeing Shen Yan's silence, Lu Chen suddenly said, "Although all kinds of foreign research are better than domestic ones, but after all, they are based on Western national conditions, and all kinds of data tend to be culturally connected. Professor Jiang Hongbin is also first-class in the domestic field. , I heard from my friends that the professor seems to have participated in a research some time ago. The content of this speech seems to be mainly around Professor Jiang's mysterious research."

Shen Yan's eyes brightened slightly, he let go of his deepest thoughts, and looked quite interested: "Brother Lu actually has inside information, so did you mention what kind of research it is?"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "I'm not too sure about this, but we're not going to listen to it right now. Wouldn't it be better to let the riddles be answered at that time?"

Shen Yan shrugged and said, "Well, it's like not knowing what's inside before opening a present? Brother Lu's words made me even more curious."

Lu Chen laughed, and while telling Shen Yan to eat more, he put down his chopsticks, "I'm going to answer the phone, I'll be back later, you eat first."

Lu Chen shook Shen Yan's mobile phone in the flashing state, got up and left the table.

Shen Yan just gestured and waited until Lu Chen left the room.Shen Yan also put down the bowls and chopsticks, reached under the table and disconnected the phone number he secretly dialed before the banquet.

Originally, Shen Yan didn't intend to do this. Originally, he was afraid that the eavesdropping equipment would be discovered, so he had to compromise.Zhan Feng was on the other end of the phone, so Shen Yan didn't have to worry about making mistakes.

The time Lu Chen left was estimated to be less than three sentences, and soon he opened the door and came in.

Halfway through the meal, Lu Chen only drank a cup of tea beside him.Shen Yan also said that the meal was finished, and was about to ask the waiter to pay the bill.

Lu Chen seemed apologetic and said, "Shen Yan, don't call, I've already paid for it just now. Don't stare at me, next time, next time you set a place, I will definitely not go past you, okay?"

What Lu Chen said made Shen Yan roll his eyes at him: "Brother Lu, you are really boring like this."

Lu Chen nodded, "It's my fault. This time, I'll take it as a crime for you. It's getting late, and Professor Jiang's speech will start soon. Shall we start now?"

Shen Yan: "You've said that, what else can I say, let's go."

"This is close to University A, so we don't need to drive. Let's walk there?" Lu Chen said, thinking for a while and adding: "There is enough time."

Shen Yan was not familiar with these alleyways, but when he first parked the car, he could vaguely see the gate of University A, so he didn't refute Lu Chen's proposal.

The two went downstairs, with Lu Chen walking in front, and Shen Yan still half a step behind.

Although the distance is not too far, it also reveals some sense of distance.

Lu Chen occasionally said something about University A along the way, which made Shen Yan's judgment that Lu Chen was originally from City X deepened.

But ten minutes away.

When I arrived at the auditorium A, I found that the lecture had already started.

Lu Chen turned his head and smiled at Shen Yan, with a helpless expression: "It seems that we have to sneak in."

Shen Yan shrugged noncommittally.

Lu Chen was about to lead Shen Yan around the small side door at the back, but he was caught by Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was a little speechless, "Brother Lu, listen carefully, there is still chaos inside. It should be that the door has just been closed, and the speech has not started yet, so go directly to the main entrance."

While talking, Shen Yan let go of his hand to push the door, but noticed that Lu Chen twisted his wrist while grabbing the hand he had dragged past.

When the two entered the auditorium, they realized that although Shen Yan's guess was good, there was indeed some commotion inside the door, but the point was not that it hadn't started yet.

The lecturer on the stage had just stood at the edge of the podium and was talking about the opening remarks when he suddenly saw Shen Yan rushing in, and the topic stopped for a while.His eyes flicked to the door, looking a little surprised.

The lecturer just paused and continued to speak, but a few words explained the speech.

It's not about psychology as intended, but about hypnosis.

Shen Yan stared at the eyes of everyone, and was about to stride towards the first row, which was the only empty seat in the auditorium, when he felt someone grab him from behind.

Shen Yan turned around and saw that Lu Chen's expression was a bit strange, "Brother Lu?"
