crime puzzle

A discrepancy between rumors and facts is usually the result of an error on one side of the investigation.

Chen Yifan took it for granted that the information provided by Cheng Xiaojing was wrong.

"Did you remember wrongly?" he asked.

Cheng Xiaojing is very confident in all aspects of himself, except in memory - the symptom of his autism in the early years was severe memory faults, so now whenever there is any doubt, he will first doubt himself.

Seeing that there was a disagreement in the matter, Lan He immediately said, "Why don't you ask Director Guan? Since he was the one who rescued Wei Li back then, he should be familiar with Wei Li's situation."

Cheng Xiaojing immediately called Guan Pengcheng.

Guan Pengcheng was late to answer and spoke slowly.

"Hyo Kyung, I happen to have something to look for you..."

Cheng Xiaojing quickly interrupted him and said, "Mr. Guan, is it convenient for you to talk to me about Wei Li now?"

Guan Pengcheng: "Wei Li? I seem to have heard that she has been in trouble recently, and she asked you to defend her?"

Cheng Xiaojing hurriedly said: "No. I feel that there is something wrong with my memory. What kind of person was Wei Li when she was in college? Do you still remember?"

When Guan Pengcheng was old, he especially liked to talk about his students, and when Cheng Xiaojing asked him, he would immediately pick up the conversation.

"Remember, Wei Li..." Guan Pengcheng's voice suddenly became deep and distant, as if he was suddenly caught in the memories of the past.

In the past ten years, many people and things have been almost blurred, even people like Guan Pengcheng are no exception.

"I have taught many students, but you are the ones who impressed me the most." Guan Pengcheng sighed, "Wei Li is also a person with a bad life. The first time I saw her was when the school asked her to come to understand the situation. superior."

Guan Pengcheng already had the idea of ​​leaving school.At that time, the Pengcheng office was not his, and his boss intended to transfer the office to him.When making a decision in life, human beings will always hesitate again and again.

At this time, a case like Wei Li came across.

The first time Guan Pengcheng saw the female student who opened the door and came in with a vigilant face, he was a little confused. He asked the colleagues around him: "The gang of hooligans she called to fight in groups?"

The colleague sighed and said, "I don't know. But she is from your hospital. If she is really identified as her, this life will be over." The colleague did not answer his question, but informed him of the development trend of the matter.

Guan Pengcheng had heard about Wei Li's situation before, knew her special situation, and his mood sank.He glanced at Wei Li a few more times, only to see that she still took a deep breath and braved up to come in.The timidity that was hidden in his eyes when he first came in disappeared completely in an instant.

As soon as she came in, she said, "I didn't call anyone. They came by themselves."

Guan Pengcheng believed her almost as soon as she finished saying this.

"One Wei Li, one you. You two are the only students I understand by intuition instead of logic. Wei Li has a very good and strong personality, but she is too stubborn and independent. You..."

Cheng Xiaojing hurriedly said: "No, don't talk about me, just talk about Wei Li."

Guan Pengcheng asked: "Lan He also called to ask about Wei Li before, are you all for the same thing?"

Cheng Xiaojing returns.

"Yes. This matter is very important, sir."

"Well, let me tell you what Wei Li looked like to me at that time, only at that time." Guan Pengcheng made a special note, "She is a person who has no moral bottom line, the kind who clearly understands many social rules and bottom lines. But for their own purposes, they will not hesitate to trample on... people."

Cheng Xiaojing was startled.

"...It is reasonable to say that such a person will be more popular after coming out of society."

Guan Pengcheng responded, and said, "Yes. I'm a little surprised that she got to where she is today so quickly."

"Ms. Guan contacted her later, but failed to pull her back?" Cheng Xiaojing asked.

Guan Pengcheng smiled and said: "Didn't I just say that Wei Li's personality is too strong. How can I pull her back, let her know the harshness and mercilessness of the law, and let her fear the majesty of the law? gone."

Cheng Xiaojing laughed and said, "Isn't that the same as her performance now?"

"However," Guan Pengcheng suddenly changed the subject, "For a while, her condition disappeared. Zhang Yingying knows, the social and humanities major next door. She seems to be the school belle of Wei Li's class. She also has money in her family and spends a lot of money. The popularity is very good. Wei Li has been very close to her for a while. Speaking of it, the mutual influence between people is sometimes so great that you can't imagine. If the little girl hadn't jumped off the building, Wei Li might have really You never know what to be afraid of."

Cheng Xiaojing's chaotic memory suddenly became clear for a moment.

"Wait, Zhang Yingying is rich, beautiful, generous, and very popular?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Guan Pengcheng asked doubtfully.

It seems that I have spelled the picture wrong before, and finally found the correct position.

Cheng Xiaojing murmured: "...I see."

After exchanging a few polite words with Guan Pengcheng, Cheng Xiaojing hung up the phone.

Lan He and Chen Yifan stared at him with piercing eyes.

Lan He asked, "What do you know?"

Chen Yifan was even more exaggerated, directly took the sticky note on the coffee table, bit the pen cap and made a serious record like a primary school student.

Cheng Xiaojing looked up at the clock on the wall, it was just after 07:30.

He immediately got up and said, "It's still too late, let's go to the place where Wei Li lives."

"Now?" Chen Yifan stared at Cheng Xiaojing in a daze and hurriedly walked out.

Without looking back, Cheng Xiaojing said, "Well, hurry up. Take me back when you're done reading."

Lan He followed subconsciously, and took the car keys on the table to follow.

Chen Yifan, who always thought he was the most active, was the last one. He reluctantly chased after Lan He, looked suspiciously at the people in front of him, and said, "If you don't know how to go, go too."

Lan He turned around.

"You have a criminal record, it's not safe for Cheng Xiaojing to go with you alone."

Chen Yifan looked at him with raised eyebrows, and asked, "Is it safe to be a patient who just came out of the hospital with you?"

Lan Why didn't he have the same knowledge as him and said, "You may not be able to beat me."

Cheng Xiaojing found out that Lan He had also come out, and asked exactly the same question as Chen Yifan.

Lan He said: "Now let me stay at home alone and wait for your news, and I will suffer internal injuries."

Cheng Xiaojing sized him up again with the same eyes as Chen Yifan, then suddenly reached out to him and said, "Give me the car keys."

Lan He didn't know why, but handed over the key automatically.

After the two got into the car, Lan He finally confirmed that what Cheng Xiaojing asked for the car keys meant for him to drive.

He belatedly asked: "Can you drive?" In his impression, Cheng Xiaojing was the one who was catching the bus to work, and he had never seen him drive before.

Cheng Xiaojing replied lightly.

"Yes, the teacher used to go out to socialize, so he took me with him. When there was an uneven scene, I was responsible for driving."

Lan He thought to himself, are you just a backup driver?

After all, Cheng Xiaojing didn't drive often, and his hands were still a little raw. After the car was turned off twice, under Lan He's guidance, he found the hand feeling. After getting on the road steadily, Lan He heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Can you talk to me first?" Shall I reveal something?"

Cheng Xiaojing said: "I have been remembering wrong people before, so I can't figure out some things."

Lan He turned to Cheng Xiaojing's side, looking intently at the slightly relieved side face.

"I haven't seen Wei Li before. The first time I saw her was when I went out to eat with Li Yanxi. At that time, her dress-well, it was very soft and beautiful. Later, after Tang Yadong's accident, she came to me. In the beginning, she used to be very tough, but after I fought back, she seemed to react and became that weak look again."

"So I confused her with another person."

Lan He interjected.

"Who?"

"Zhang Yingying." Cheng Xiaojing immediately explained, "I have investigated Zhang Yingying's case. Lan Tian knows it. For a while, I especially liked to drill into this kind of cases, the kind of unsolved cases that only need to be labeled."

Lan He's eyeballs moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Cheng Xiaojing let out a sigh of relief.

"It's no wonder I couldn't understand Zhang Yingying's case at the beginning. How could such a noble, strong, dirty person fall into such a clumsy trap so easily."

Lan He said: "You put Wei Li's personality on Zhang Yingying, thinking that someone with Wei Li's shrewd personality would not make such mistakes with flawed IQ. So I can't figure it out."

Cheng Xiaojing said, "Yes."

"But why did you mistake Wei Li for Zhang Yingying?"

"The defense for Tang Yadong failed. Wei Li came to me. She asked me if I was investigating the usury matter. Then she gave me the Zhang Yingying case she changed."

"Why would she do this?"

"I didn't know it before. It was just that she recognized my ability and wanted to do something for her friends. It wasn't until just now that I realized that she just wanted to use me to make up for the mistakes she made back then."

"You said earlier that her confession in the recording..."

"That's just acting." Cheng Xiaojing answered him quickly, and then said: "Lan He, I always believe that a person's nature is hard to change. Wei Li is the same. I think everything, from Zhang Yingying's case From the beginning, until now, she has been on the path of crime, and no one forced her. It was her intention to do so." Cheng Xiaojing seemed to confirm all his thoughts.

"You mean, Wei Li is the real culprit? But why did she do these things?" Lan He didn't understand.

Cheng Xiaojing asked: "Because of Tang Yadong's case. I let her suffer a crushing defeat. She is not reconciled."

"...This is too nonsense, because of her self-esteem, she planned all the crimes?" Lan He said: "Because of Zhang Yingying's case, Wei Li had a mental breakdown. If those crimes were committed by herself , how could she have such a big mental burden?"

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly said: "There will be. If you are the first time to commit a crime and witness Zhang Yingying's death with your own eyes, everyone will have an indelible shadow in their hearts."

Lan He got goosebumps all over his body when he said it.

"Then what do you want to do at Wei Li's house so late?"

"Look for evidence." Cheng Xiaojing said.

"How could such a smart person as Wei Li keep the evidence at home?" Lan He didn't understand what Cheng Xiaojing was thinking, and he even felt that Cheng Xiaojing's interpretation of Wei Li was too much.

"With her personality, she will only hide her most important things at home." Cheng Xiaojing said firmly, "I think as long as you find those things, you will understand the meaning of what I said."
