It was unclear if it was due to lack of sleep, but after hearing Chen Yuehong say, “She is Chengze's girlfriend”, Qiao Yin suddenly felt a tightness in her head, and a dark cloud came over her.
Fortunately, this physiological reaction was only temporary. After a few seconds, she snapped out of it and immediately looked at Xiao Yang, but she had already missed his first reaction. Xiao Yang didn't show any surprise, he just slightly nodded, “If there are any more questions, we will come to you." ”
Chen Yuehong nodded, she had pinned her last hope on the police. Qiao Yin held her hands tightly and couldn't help being nervous. She glanced at Xiao Yang from time to time, hoping to get a hint from his face on whether he was angry or not. But he didn't look at her again, and his attitude towards her remained very calm from beginning to end as if he was facing an ordinary victim's family member.
Therefore, until Chen Yuehong was brought home, Qiao Yin was left in a state of anxiety. It was not only one disaster. Before she could take out her key to open the door, the door of her own house was opened from the inside - Shen Yanfang stood at the door with raised eyebrows: "Why are you back at this time? Didn't you go to work? ”
Before Qiao Yin could explain, she noticed Chen Yuehong behind her daughter, and her expression suddenly became even more surprised: “And this is?”
“Mom, this is Zhou Chengze's mother, Chen Yuehong." Qiao Yin still had to smile first and introduce them to each other, “Auntie, this is my mother, Shen Yanfang." ”
Ultimately, Shen Yanfang was her mother, she understood that no matter how sudden things seem, there must be a reason, so she quickly calmed down, and with a smile on her face, she helped Qiao Yin welcome Chen Yuehong into the house, even assisting to put all her luggage in the guest room, getting sheets and even making the bed.
Taking advantage of Qiao Yin's going kitchen to make tea, Shen Yanfang made an excuse to get something to eat and followed her into the kitchen. Qiao Yin briefly explained to Shen Yanfang what happened. After listening to it, her mother thought for a moment, then she grabbed the newspaper, rolled it and knocked on her daughter's forehead: “Why didn't you tell your mother earlier about such a big deal?! ”
Qiao Yin weakly smiled, “I was afraid you would be worried...”
What she said was really true. Since breaking up with Zheng Zihao, she has run into two murders in a row, plus Wei Jun's case, and now the disappearance of the brothers, Zhou Kaiming and Zhou Chengze. It really seems as if she is unlucky recently. But Qiao Yin did not want to alarm the elderly unless she had to, so she wouldn't have to worry about them being stressed over her matters.
Shen Yanfang glared at her, it was not that she didn't understand her daughter, it was just that she could not help getting angry, but other than scolding and glaring, in the end, she still obliged her and said: “I've got it, I've got it. Then I will live with you these few days and help you take care of her. Just go to work, and take a nap at noon if you have time, look at the dark circles under your eyes. Tsk, tsk, if I didn't know you, I would think you were wearing smoky makeup!”
Qiao Yin gratefully served her tea, her mouth spat out sweet words like honey, and her mother was soon pacified. Thanks to her mother's cooperation, Qiao Yin was able to return to work in the law firm after lunch, but after running around all morning, her spirit was worse than it was this morning.
She was currently sitting in her office composing her text to Xiao Yang, her eyes were even darker now: “Reporting to the Commander, Comrade Qiao and Zhou Chengze dated in university for three years, and they broke up when they graduated from their undergraduate studies. Zhou Chengze hid this fact from his mother for seven years and never told his mother that Comrade Qiao broke up with him, causing his mother to misunderstand now. Now there is no news from him. To avoid causing his mother further distress, Comrade Qiao has not yet told her the truth. However, the commander is wise and greatly skilled with extraordinary insight, you must have already guessed the truth. Comrade Qiao's wrote this unnecessary article just to show love and respect, I hope the commander will have mercy." book is only to show respect and love, I hope the commander will have pity on me. ”
She browsed it roughly before sending it, she thought to herself that this message not only explained the reason, but was also extremely sucking up to him as well, it should be able to win the favor of the “Lord”, so she solemnly sent it out. As soon as she raised her head to let out a sigh of relief, Qiao Yin felt her head swelling, and there was black fog hovering over her vision. Only her ears were working normally, she heard Chen Minyi pushing the door in: "Qiao Yin? What are you doing? ”
It was rare for her to be so eager. Before Qiao Yin's vision returned to normal, she heard Chen Minyi walking over on those ten-inch high heels, her shoulders were anxiously grabbed with both hands: "Your face looks so bad! Are you not unwell? ”
“It's okay. I haven't slept well in the past two days, I may be a little tired. "Qiao Yin felt that she should probably fix her makeup as the black fog in front of her eyes slowly faded, she raised her face and smiled at Chen Minyi. Probably because her face was really unsightly, Chen Minyi didn't give her the usual smile, rather she frowned: “Last year, during our yearly inspection... I remember you requested time-off but didn't end up going, right? ”
Qiao Yin thought for a bit and then nodded: "It seems to be. At that time, I wanted to back to my hometown for my grandmother's funeral. ”
“I'll find time for you, go to the hospital for an examination. Remember to report the results to me when they come out. "Chen Minyi gave her an order and sternly warned her: "I have a good memory. Don't hope that I will forget this. Do you understand?" ”
Was she afraid that she was sick? Qiao Yin hurriedly nodded. One should not joke with your body. Although she believes she's very healthy, in the end, it was safer to have an examination.
Chen Minyi let go of the issue, and after finalizing with Qiao Yin which lawyer would be responsible for the case she had just taken over, she left her office. When she closed the door, Qiao Yin looked down at her phone. Unexpectedly, she hadn't received a reply from Xiao Yang.
At this time, Xiao Yang was following the clues to investigate the whereabouts of a man: this man's name was Dong Kun. He was Zhou Kaiming's elementary school classmate.
After graduating from elementary school, Dong Kun went to work in a relative's factory in Guangxi. According to his relatives in Guangxi, Dong Kun had been missing for two months. After that, he began to go out for business, his whereabouts were unknown, and he was unreachable all day long. He desperately recommended health products to friends and family around him. His relatives suspected that he had been deceived by an MLM organization and wanted to lock him up at home, but instead, this stimulated him and caused him to pry open the door and escape. He never appeared there again.
“He went back to his hometown in Northeast China once, but he didn't move home.” That's what the criminal police in Dong Kun's hometown in Northeast China reported, "Several of his elementary school classmates also reported that they had heard that he sells health products. Others said that he invited them to do sales together, so they can make a fortune. ”
“If Zhou Kaiming really entered an MLM organization with Dong Kun in the first place, then they were also running on a large scale in the south." Yan Cong frowned tightly, the problem was getting bigger, “It's unclear which MLM organization it is. Looking for Zhou Chengze now is like simply looking for a needle in a haystack." ”
Xiao Yang raised his chin, “You continue to look over those surveillance videos of intersections and leave this to me. ”
Working with the criminal police in the northeast, Xiao Yang got in Cai Yuanyuan, an old classmate of Dong Kun, and asked him to find a way to contact Dong Kun on the Internet with the claim that he has a friend who works in X City who wants to do business and wanted to see if he can partner with Dong Kun. Due to the careful explanation of the details in advance, Cai Yuanyuan did not give the game away during his conversation with Dong Kun. In the end, Dong Kun agreed to take on his friend to do business together and made an appointment to pick up the people at a specific time and place.
Dong Kun was also in X City, and the place agreed with them was relatively remote. The time was nine o'clock in the evening of the same day.
Xiao Yang changed into cheap clothes and arrived at the place they had arranged at nine o'clock that night. There were not many people at the entrance of the small road, except for the buses that had to pass through this fixed route, few private cars were coming and going. There was a whole row of street lights, but only one was working to illuminate the sidewalk. Xiao Yang stood under the one street light and waited for an hour before seeing a figure coming out of the corner and slowly approaching the light: "Yang Xiao? ”
The visitor was very short, and at first glance he knew it was not Dong Kun. Dong Kun was tall. Xiao Yang slightly nodded, squinting his eyes as he asked, "You are? ”
“Sorry, I was held up with something, so I came late. I am Lai Long, Dong Kun's colleague. He is busy tonight, so he can't come in person." Lai Long finally walked into the light. There was a strong smell of smoke on his body. He probably just smoked somewhere for an hour while observing Xiao Yang to prevent him from falling into a trap, “Come on. First, I'll take you to the house we share." ”
Seeing that he had already stepped forward and pulled on his arm, Xiao Yang deliberately stood in place like a log, with a little hesitant expression on his face, refusing to move easily: "You can't lie to me. I told my family, they are aware I am going to do business with Dong Kun. ”
Lai Long laughed loudly: “Are you afraid we'll catch you and dig your kidneys?! ”
Xiao Yang pursed his lips and did not speak. Lai Long persuaded him for a long time before he finally went along. Along the way, Lai Long saw that he was silent, unlike a reporter or a policeman, so he took the initiative to start talking to him, basically in a one-question-one-answer mode. The questions raised by Lai Long seemed random, but in fact, they were all about Xiao Yang's family and work background, most likely comparing his responses with what Cai Yuanyuan described as his “undercover” profile. Xiao Yang had experience, so it was not a problem at all to deal with this, he had answered naturally and Lai Long gradually set aside his doubts.
“I heard that you have been here for two years. Why did you suddenly think of doing business now? "After passing by several streets in silence, Lai Long suddenly asked such a question again.
Xiao Yang pondered for a few seconds before speaking in a muffled voice: “I am going to marry my girlfriend. "After a pause, he continued, “But her family has asked me to buy an apartment first, only then will they agree."
His expression has always been dull, but he unconsciously frowned when he said this, as if there was truly such a thing. Lai Long couldn't help but complain for him: “Women of these days, the whole family is also like this, there is only money in their eyes! "
"It's not that bad." Xiao Yang responded lightly, “My girlfriend is very good. She doesn't care about these things. ”
When Lai Long heard this, he joked, "Yo, even defending her, you truly treasure girlfriend!" ”
After half an hour, they turned into a small hotel and finally stopped. At the door of the hotel, two men stood smoking cigarettes. When they saw them coming, they put out the cigarette butts and loudly asked, "Lai Long? You brought someone here? "
"Dong Kun's friend. "Lai Long casually responded and led Xiao Yang into the hotel.
They were going upstairs when Lai Long stopped halfway, turned around and asked Xiao Yang, “Did you bring your mobile phone?"
"I'm owing on my mobile phone, so lend me a call. "
"Oh." Xiao Yang took out an old Nokia from his pocket and gave it to him.
Lai Long took the phone, stood by the window in the corridor, dialled a number, and talked to the person on the other end of the phone for a long time: “Mr. Wang? Eh, yes, I'm Xiao Lai. My phone broke. I borrowed someone else's phone to make a call... Yes, 540,000 this month... Don't worry, this year will definitely hit a new high...”
Their amazing performance was revealed in the conversation. Xiao Yang lowered his head and listened, a bit later, Lai Long patted him on the shoulder and handed him a cigarette. In this kind of MLM organization, any food may be mixed with drugs, including cigarettes, but Xiao Yang only glanced at the cigarette, then took it, borrowed Lai Long's fire and lit it.
This completely relaxed Lai Long's mind. Therefore, before Xiao Yang could take a few hits, Lai Long hung up the phone: “Okay, let's go. Let's go to the dormitory first. But you still have to lend me your phone again, do you mind? ”
After deliberately hesitating for two seconds, Xiao Yang nodded and answered, “You can use it. ”
