gentle reunion

In the second half of the night, Li Mingen kept drinking.

This is the first time he "killed" someone.

For the first time, he "killed" a person with his own hands.

In the past, some people's deaths were related to him, but they were all far away from him.

When he opened the factory, two workers died because the inferior equipment he bought failed.

When working in real estate, he once ordered violent demolition, and a nail household died.

And after his competitors were bankrupted by him, one of them jumped off the building.

He didn't see the death of these people with his own eyes, so he didn't feel deeply, so he just let out a sigh, but this time He Wenyu died in front of his eyes, and his life disappeared without a sound. The sense of silence made his hair stand on end.

He trembled a bit, and took another big gulp of wine into his mouth.

At dawn, the person who handled the corpse came back.

Li Mingen handed him a paper bag, which contained a stack of cash and some cards.

He sighed: "Huizi, you can go now."

Huizi nodded.

The two looked at each other with tears in their eyes. After a while, Huizi bowed to Li Mingen and left.

Li Mingen continued to drink.

Huizi has been with him for many years, he is his thug, his bodyguard, his old friend, his sibling...

Huizi has done a lot of dirty things for him - the kind of things that can be settled with money after they are done.

But this time the matter is different from the past. Now is the troubled time. This kind of homicide case will not only be unjust with money, but will cause a big explosion, so I can only escape.

This was the last thing Huizi did for him, escape for him.

The next morning, Li Mingen, who was so drunk and delirious, received a call from Lawyer Chen - the secretary forced the phone in front of him.

Lawyer Chen said that Liu Jin did not confess to Xu Zan as they planned. Instead, he confessed to Sun Zhe, saying that Sun Zhe made false accounts and documents for him, and encouraged him to frame Xu Zan.

"What?" Li Mingen was so noisy that his head was buzzing. He waved his hands indiscriminately. The wine bottle and glass were swept to the ground, and the wine wet the carpet. He said drunkenly, "What did you say? I can't hear clearly!"

Lawyer Chen was very desperate. At this time, he was actually drunk...

Lawyer Chen hurriedly asked the secretary to find a way to sober up Li Mingen.

Then Li Mingen was given a cup of special anti-alcoholic medicine. It is hard to say whether this medicine can be an antidote, but it has a strong emetic effect. Li Mingen began to vomit not long after drinking it, and vomited wave after wave until he was dying.

Three hours later, Li Mingen finally woke up, lying on the sofa with a face ashen.

Lawyer Chen called again and told them about Liu Jin's betrayal.

Li Mingen: "Then why was Xu Zan arrested?"

Lawyer Chen: "I was not arrested, but was called by the police to assist in the investigation of Kong Xichen's case."

"Fuck..." Li Mingen cursed.

"Do you know this person?" The policeman put a photo in front of Xu Zan, "His name is Liu Hui."

"Liu Hui?"

Xu Zan looked at the photo. He was an ordinary man with a crew cut. He looked quite capable. He looked a little familiar. He was not someone he had come into contact with, but a "passerby" who had only seen it once. Where did he see it?

"Are there any more photos? I seem to have a little impression of this person, but I can't remember. If there are more photos, maybe I can think of something."

Police: "There are no clearer photos."

Xu Zan: "It's okay if you don't know, I mainly want to find out the feeling."

The police got another video to show him.

This is a video taken by the surveillance system in the city. The picture is not very clear. There are two men chatting on it. One of them is Liu Hui, and the other is the "thief" who scratched Xu Zan.

Xu Zan immediately understood that this person was the one who framed him with potions, and he must be Li Mingen's.

As soon as he thought about Li Mingen, Xu Zan's memory became clearer, and soon he remembered where he had seen this person.

He didn't see him in real life, but in a photo—the photo of Li Mingen sent to him by Zhao Hong showed this person, standing behind Li Mingen, he should be Li Mingen's bodyguard.

But Xu Zan didn't want to mention Li Mingen. As long as he said this name, he might be heard by some people who were staring at him immediately, which might trigger a butterfly effect.

He has to be careful, he has to bypass the possible cordon, and he has to boil the frog in warm water.

Xu Zan: "I don't know him, but I saw him at a place called the Chu Club."

The policeman was stunned, wasn't the place where Xie Kaiyan last appeared was also the Chu Club?

"When did you see him?"

Xu Zan: "I'm not sure, it's been a long time, maybe the year before last?"

Generally speaking, the information recorded by surveillance will only be kept for three months, and it should be impossible to verify what happened the year before last.

The police went to the clubhouse to inquire about Liu Hui.

The manager of the clubhouse told them that Liu Hui was the security guard of the clubhouse and would go to work tomorrow, but today he didn't come over for some reason and couldn't get through the phone.

He gave Liu Hui's contact information and home address to the police.

The police tried it here, but they couldn't get through.

They went to Liu Hui's house to look for someone, but they couldn't find him.

Li Mingen was taken aback. Liu Hui just left this morning, and the police are here now. How could it be so fast?

The police also found it strange that this person disappeared as soon as they found him. How could it be such a coincidence?

In the afternoon, Xu Zan was taken out of the interrogation room, and police officer Zhang and a very old-fashioned criminal policeman led him out.

Xu Zan thought to himself, is this letting him go?Or where are you going?

Seeing that he had already walked out of the gate of the building, Xu Zan couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

Officer Zhang: "Go to the hospital to see Kong Xichen."

Xu Zan was slightly taken aback, wondering what the police were trying to do.

"Oh. Is he all right?"

The old detective said: "You will know when you see him later."

This old comrade had sharp eyes, and Xu Zan felt that he was watching him. It is said that an experienced old criminal policeman can tell if you have committed a crime just by looking at you.

Are the police suspicious of him?

Xu sighed in admiration.

The old detective: "Why are you sighing?"

Xu Zan: "I broke my leg once in high school. It was very painful and difficult. Kong Xichen must have suffered even more."

The old detective: "You are from Nanfan. Kong Xichen has been studying in Nanfan since elementary school. Have you never met him before?"

Xu Zan shook his head: "Although Nanfan is not as big as Mingcheng University, it is not a small place. Moreover, our age gap is too large. When he was in elementary school, I was already in high school. Maybe I have left Nanfan to go to Mingcheng University. gone."

Old detective: "Later, he also came to Mingcheng to develop. It seems that he participated in some kind of draft at the age of sixteen or seventeen?"

Xu Zan nodded: "Singer Show, the draft was very popular back then, but I didn't pay attention to it. When I was recording a program on the TV station, I heard from him that he won No.3 in the end. The top few in that year seemed to have developed well. good."

The old detective: "Were you in Mingcheng at that time?"

Xu Zan: "No, I was busy making a living in Yazhou at that time."

"How can you be busy." The old criminal policeman smiled, "You have a lot of assets in Yazhou, and you are a billionaire at a young age, amazing."

"A friend of mine said that when money reaches a certain level, it is a number." Xu Zan said, "I can remember about 20 digits at a glance, 9 million is 12 digits, and [-] billion is only [-] digits. It's nothing special. "

The old detective was choked.

Okay, you have to be straight to the point when talking to someone with such a high IQ, otherwise he will lead you farther and farther.

"You're pretty computer-savvy, aren't you?"

"It's okay." Xu Zan said, "The technology was okay before, but in the past two years I have spent more time on management."

Veteran policeman: "Kong Xichen's computers, mobile phones and other electronic equipment were cleaned up very cleanly."

Xu Zan suddenly realized, oh, no wonder the police did not find that Kong Xichen had tapped Wang Ting's recordings, nor did they find that Kong Xichen had contacted him anonymously using Internet phone software.

This matter should be done by the people on Yue Zhi's side.

As long as the evidence is cleared, even if Kong Xichen's mind is talking nonsense, the police can't do anything about him without evidence.

Xu Zan: "After the hard disk is written to, it is not so easy to clean it. You can go to a professional to try and see if it can be repaired."

"However, Kong Xichen is a celebrity after all. There must be some things in the computer that you don't want others to see. Like Yan Zhaomen back then, it didn't break the law, but it still ruined many people's lives."

The old detective didn't speak.

Indeed, what Kong Xichen is hiding is not necessarily evidence, it may be privacy.

When Xu Zan and the others entered Kong Xichen's ward, they saw him lying on the bed and writing something on the small table.

"Xichen." Xu Zan said.

Kong Xichen looked up, he was haggard and frighteningly thin, but his mental state seemed to be okay, not lifeless, on the contrary, there was light in his eyes.

He froze for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Xu Zan? Why are you here?"

Xu Zan smiled and said, "Come and see you. What are you doing?"

"Writing songs." Kong Xichen said, "Today I am full of inspiration!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at the paper on the small table in front of him, and then his attention was attracted, he grabbed the pen and began to write quickly.

Xu Zan was stunned. Kong Xichen was completely reborn after being beaten up?

It was almost like this. That day, when he was beaten by Wang Rui and others, Kong Xichen thought he would die. At that time, he didn't care about anything. Although he was in extreme pain physically, he was very relaxed mentally.

After being revived, he began to think about various things in reality again. However, his spirit did not recover because his mentality had changed, and he took a lot of things lightly. Now he is no longer so easily influenced.

——Reducing the influence of foreign objects on oneself means reducing damage.All the things you don't care about can't hurt you.

Xu Zan looked at the two policemen beside him, then at the direction of the door, and turned his head that way: Why don't we go out and talk?

Several people left the ward.

Xu Zan: "He looks good."

"Yeah." The old detective was a little disappointed. He wanted to see if Kong Xichen would have a special reaction after seeing Xu Zan, but he basically didn't respond.

Xu Zan should not be the mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise Kong Xichen shouldn't be acting like this.

In the afternoon, Xu Zan was allowed to leave the Public Security Bureau, and Lan Tianran came to pick him up.

As soon as they met, Xu Zan hugged Lan Tianran: "I miss you so much."

"En." Lan Tianran tilted his head, kissed Xu Zan's face imperceptibly and quietly, "Let's go, go home."

The two got into the car, and Xu Zan agreed with the driver to say hello: "Old Lu, thank you for your hard work."

Old Lu: "It's not hard, it should be."

Xu Zan held Lan Tianran's hand and talked to him, "How is Yazhou?"

"Liu Jin is still undergoing interrogation, and Sun Zhe has no news, so it should be as usual."
