gentle reunion

"I don't know what's going on in my house now, has it been turned into a mess?" Xu Zan asked.

Zhao Hong: "I don't know, I'll take a look for you tomorrow."

"By the way, clean it up for me."

"Okay, if it's a mess, I'll ask a part-time worker to clean it up for you."

"Thanks."

"Did the person who scratched me say anything?"

"Nothing special. He's a thief. He wanted to steal your things. You grabbed him, and he used the knife as soon as he was in a hurry."

Xu Zan nodded, knowing that the man would not mention the medicine.

Zhao Hong accompanied Xu Zan after dinner before leaving.

When eating, Xu Zan told him to eat less.

Zhao Hong: "You still won't let me eat the money I paid? There are so many dishes, you can't finish them all by yourself."

"I'll reimburse you for the money. If you can't finish eating, you can't finish it." Xu Zan said, "You eat less now, and after you go out for a while, you can go to dinner with Tianran."

Zhao Hong: "...Okay."

When Zhao Hong went out, he saw Xiang Qu and Lan Tianran eating oden. It should be that Xiang Qu asked the chief to buy it.

Well, with Xiang Xiang, Xu Zan doesn't have to worry about Lan Tianran being hungry.

"How?" Lan Tianran put down the paper bowl in his hand.

Zhao Hong: "He has a good appetite and has eaten two boxes of lunch."

Xiang Xiang was inexplicably proud: "As expected of my brother."

"..." Zhao Hong said, "Let's go, let's go eat some decent food."

Xiang Xiang: "Let's go to Diannan Prefecture, let's eat something good."

Zhao Hong explained to Lan Tianran: "That's Xiang Xiang's store. It's in his own store, so it's convenient to talk."

Lan Tianran knew that Xiang Xiang opened Diannan Mansion, but at the moment he had nothing to talk about, so he just nodded and said nothing.

Xiang Xiang: "I didn't open it, it was opened by me and my brother."

Lan Tianran: "...Oh, Diannan Prefecture doesn't deliver food, right?"

Xiang Xiang: "No delivery, let's go to the store to eat, fresh dishes are the best."

Lan Tianran nodded.

He just remembered that he ordered Xu Zan's takeaway from Diannan Prefecture. At that time, the manager told Song Minmin that the boss made an exception and specially approved to deliver that takeaway to them, that is to say, Xu Zan himself approved it.

Kind of funny.

Everyone got in the car, and the car drove into the distance, Lan Tianran kept turning his head to look in the direction of the police station.

Zhao Hong looked at him and said, "Naturally, Xu Zan asked me to see how his house is now. Shall we go together?"

Lan Tianran finally turned around and said, "Okay."

During the meal, Lan Tianran said, "We think we should take some first aid measures."

Zhao Hong: "For example?"

Xiang Xiang was a little excited: "Treat him in the same way?"

Lan Tianran shook his head: "Besiege Wei and save Zhao."

"It's all right, don't care about such details." Xiang Xiang looked at him with piercing eyes, "What are we going to do?"

Lan Tianran: "Give Sun Zhe's criminal evidence to the police."

Zhao Hong looked at him: "Do you have evidence of Sun Zhe's crime?"

Lan Tianran: "No, but you can find it."

"Oh." Zhao Hong said, "We have been looking for relevant evidence, but we have not found it."

Lan Tianran: "If there is evidence, do you think it can be handed over to the police? Will it delay Xu Zan's original plan?"

Zhao Hong expressed helplessness: "I don't know his specific plan."

Xiang Xiang also shook his head.

Zhao Hong: "I'll go see him tomorrow morning, and then I'll find an opportunity to ask him quietly for you?"

"Okay, thank you."

Zhao Hong: "Then let's go and see Xu Zan's house later."

"Ok?"

"I promised him to go and see if it's messy or not. I'll watch it tonight. I can just tell him the answer tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

"So although Xu Zan and his lawyer met, they didn't talk about anything?" Li Mingen was also talking about Xu Zan's situation.

Lawyer Chen: "They didn't say anything worthy of our attention. They seem to have not figured out the current situation."

Li Mingen: "What did the police say?"

Lawyer Chen: "It's still under investigation. Because Xu Zan hasn't gone back to live for a while, but the hourly labor union regularly visits his home, so the police think that the hourly workers are more suspected than Xu Zan."

Li Mingen: "What?"

They didn't go through so much effort to frame a part-time worker.

Lawyer Chen: "People who take drugs buy drugs to drink. They buy them and don't use them. Instead, they hide them in houses where they don't usually live. This is unreasonable."

Li Mingen frowned: "I remember who said before that Xu Zan's fingerprints can be printed on the medicine bottle? As long as there are fingerprints, the police will not have any suspicion."

The person who came up with this idea replied: "It has already been done - the person who dispensed the medicine said that he copied the fingerprints on Xu Zan's personal items in the drawer on the spot and printed it on the medicine bottle."

Li Mingen looked at Lawyer Chen.

Lawyer Chen: "I'll ask my friend."

He took out his mobile phone and contacted his "friend".

The "friend" replied that there were fingerprints on the medicine bottle, but it was not Xu Zan's, but a part-time worker's.

Lawyer Chen thought, no wonder the police suspected that the medicine was part-time.

Li Mingen: "Who can explain, what's going on?"

Everyone is silent, what else could be going on, the person who dispensed the medicine is unreliable.

Lawyer Chen: "I have an idea, but it's not necessarily right..."

Li Mingen was impatient: "Just talk."

Lawyer Chen: "Xu Zan hasn't lived at home for a while, but the hourly workers come in and out of his house regularly. I think the hourly workers left fingerprints when they looked through Xu Zan's personal belongings, and then the person who put the medicine copied them. Wrong fingerprints. The part-time worker Xu Zan hired is of such low quality that he messed with the owner's things."

Everyone was speechless.

In the end, it was Li Mingen who broke the silence: "The fingerprints of the part-time worker on the medicine bottle don't mean anything. It may be that he touched the medicine bottle when he helped Xu Zan pack his things. This doesn't prove that the medicine is his."

Everyone nodded: "Yes, that's right."

Li Mingen: "Even if there are no fingerprints, the facts are obvious: medicine was found on Xu Zan's body, and there are more medicines in his house. It's all like this. How can the police think that Xu Zan is not a big suspect?"

"No, no medicine was found on Xu Zan." Attorney Chen said, "When the police arrived at the mall, Xu Zan and Lan Tianran had already left to go to the hospital. Later, Xu Zan went to the police station after receiving a call from the police. , He had no medicine on him at that time."

"..." Li Mingen's anger broke through the critical line, and Li Mingen erupted, "How did you do it?! Didn't you plan everything well before? How come it's such a mess when it comes to execution? A bunch of trash!!"

Everyone kept silent, bowed their heads and was scolded silently.

Li Mingen waved his hands violently: "Anyway, you guys have to find a way to hold Xu Zan back, and don't let him come out to make trouble. It can be delayed for a few days."

Liu Jin's side is almost ready. In a few days, he will turn himself in and confess to Xu Zan, then the whole situation will be settled, and Xu Zan will not have to jump.

Someone hesitated and said: "If you want to hold Xu Zan, maybe you can start from the top?"

Li Mingen looked at him: "Huh?"

"It's more useful for us to find an excuse to say something than to break our legs."

Li Mingen was thoughtful: "Let me think about it."

In the past, Li Mingen would not ask his superiors for help because of this kind of thing, but now he is too annoyed by Xu Zan's matter (the cost of investment is increasing, but the effect is very small), so he thought about it.

After dinner, Lan Tianran and Zhao Hong went to Xu Zan's house together.

The house is a bit of a mess, but that's okay, it's just been turned over, not to the point where it looks like it's been ransacked.

Lan Tianran: "Tomorrow I'll send someone to clean up for him."

Zhao Hong: "Then I will trouble you."

Afterwards, Lan Tianran went to see Song Minmin.

After Song Minmin opened the door, he saw Lan Tianran alone, and asked, "Where's Xu Zan?"

"Still at the police station."

Song Minmin was surprised, even panicked: "Ah? Why? Isn't that the one who hurt others first?"

If things change, it could be disastrous for her PR efforts.

"The police have other matters that require Xu Zan to cooperate with the investigation." Lan Tianran told her about Xu Zan being framed.

Song Minmin frowned upon hearing this. If this matter is exposed on the Internet, it will be very troublesome.

"What do we do now?"

"I will find a way. You continue to stare at the public opinion. How is the situation on the Internet now?" Lan Tianran asked.

Song Minmin turned on the laptop and looked at the data: "For the time being, only the video of you chasing someone in the mall has been posted on the Internet, and Xu Zan's incident at the police station has not been discussed yet."

Lan Tianran thought: "It seems that the situation is different from the past? In the past, they would blackmail Xu Zan no matter what, why didn't they do it this time?"

Song Minmin: "There should be some reason why you can't do this."

The reason why Li Mingen didn't let people make the news about Xu Zan's arrest was very simple. He was worried that if he "made rumors" on his side, the police would immediately come out to "refute the rumors".

——Public opinion is a terrifying thing, and it is a double-edged sword. When it goes smoothly, it can stab the opponent to death. Once it is reversed, it will kill yourself.

Therefore, it is more appropriate to wait for Liu Jin to surrender and confess to Xu Zan before manipulating public opinion.

Lan Tianran: "Is it troublesome to process our video?"

Song Minmin: "It's okay. Although Xu Zan beat someone, because Xu Zan was injured first, everyone thought the person you were chasing was a thief--I also arranged someone to guide netizens like this. Anyway, now basically no one cares about Xu Zan's reappearance." Hit someone."

Lan Tianran looked at her: "You hit someone again?"

He said the word "again" with an accent.

"Oh..." Song Minmin rested his forehead and sighed, "How should I put it, after Xu Zan was hacked many times, the image of him fighting fiercely became very popular, even I was brainwashed unconsciously."

Lan Tianran: "Fighting hard and beating people often are two different things."

Song Minmin glanced at him: "Yes, both things are deeply rooted in people's hearts."

Lan Tianran: "..."

Song Minmin coughed lightly: "Also, those videos made your scandal even worse. Do you need to clarify that you are just friends?"

Judging from the video, the two are very close.

But it's not difficult to clarify, because Xu Zan was injured at the time, and in that situation, it's normal to be a little closer—in times of crisis, of course good friends have to support each other and help each other.

Lan Tianran: "We are more than just friends."

Song Minmin showed a professional smile: "Okay, then I won't clarify."

It was already late after Song Minmin left, but Lan Tianran still called Guo Xin.

Because Guo Xin is on the other side of the earth, and it is daytime over there, calling at this point is not a bother.

Guo Xin was very kind: "Naturally, what can I do for you?"

The next day, Zhao Hong went to see Xu Zan, but he couldn't see him this time.

Zhao Hong quickly contacted Yue Zhi's secretary.

The secretary went to find out the situation, and came back and told him: "The Public Security Bureau is going to carry out activities to rectify the police discipline."

In other words, the Public Security Bureau has now entered a period of crackdown, and it was usually accommodating, but now it can't.

Yue Zhi liked this situation, because it meant that his opponent stretched his hand too far.

Those who cannot stretch out their hands indiscriminately will be caught.

Zhao Hong: "Where did the hands and feet move?"

The secretary didn't answer, but said, "You don't have to worry too much about Xu Zan, he's safe inside."

Zhao Hong had no choice but to call Lan Tianran and tell Lan Tianran that he hadn't been able to see Xu Zan.

Lan Tianran is currently chatting with Luo Xiaorui at Infinity Technology.

After answering the phone, he said to himself, "It's past eleven o'clock."

Luo Xiaorui answered flexibly: "Yes, it's time for lunch, Mr. Lan, why don't we chat while eating?"

Lan Tianran got up: "No, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Oh, okay okay."

It's past eleven o'clock, and it's late on the other side of the world.

However, Lan Tianran took out his mobile phone and entered Guo Xin's phone number.
